Chapter 221: Arrogance, Confidence
Chelsea won again at Stamford Bridge, 5-2, a big result that once again excited the reporters in attendance, and there is no doubt that Chelsea will continue to be the focus of the Premier League beyond this round.
At the press conference after the game, Mourinho also walked into the venue with Wang Li and Robben, this game, Robben scored two goals, Wang Li scored three goals, it can be said that Chelsea's goals are completely dominated by the two, in the case of the team's big victory, Mourinho will certainly not be stingy not to give reporters a chance to interview.
Since the beginning of this season, Mourinho has always had a straight face when facing the media, but this time, in the face of many microphones, flashes, and cameras, the Portuguese has an uncharacteristically 'gentle' smile on his face, but this 'madman' smile always makes people feel a little bit triumphant, which makes people feel uncomfortable.
If Mourinho, who was in a good mood, knew that the reporters in the audience thought so, it is estimated that he would definitely play a big change of face and go straight away - the 'madman' has no face to continue to stay!!
After taking his seat, the 'madman' smiled and began to talk to his players: "In this game, the team performed very well, and I think the reason why we won was because of the outstanding performance of individual players, such as Allen, who scored three goals himself, more than Tottenham's 11 players combined, and Altyn's performance was also very good, scoring two goals, I always felt that Alkin has the potential to become a great star, and now his performance is a start." ”
"You know, England's game cost Chelsea a lot, and even Joe, who didn't play. Kohl also felt a little tired, I think the old Swedish man should wake up, it is really surprising that there are 31 names in the squad for two games. ”
Jose Mourinho began to talk eloquently, he did not say anything about the tactical aspects of the team in this game, but began to sarcastically mock the national team manager Eriksen, "However, I think Chelsea should be grateful to the esteemed Mr. Eriksen, yes, he left Allen to us, maybe it is his guilt for calling up so many Chelsea players......
Hearing Mourinho's words, the eyes of the reporters in the audience lit up, although Mourinho is 'complimenting', but anyone can hear it, this translation is simply a naked irony of Eriksen, Wang Li in Eriksen's tactics, is simply a supplement to the team, but to Chelsea, a game has scored three goals - what does this mean? Does Erickson have eyes but no beads?
A reporter from The Sun immediately got to the point, "Dear Mr Mourinho, are you skeptical of Eriksen's approach?" Do you think Allen has what it takes to start for the national team? ”
Mourinho smiled slightly, spread his hands, and said: "I never said that, it's just your understanding, since the FA has made him the manager, then he must have convincing ability, and I also think that Mr. Eriksen's ability is very good, you see, in the previous game, he led the team to beat Austria." ”
The Portuguese's remarks reminded these reporters of the first leg of the World Cup qualifiers a few days ago, in the match with Austria, Wang Li played in the last 10 minutes and helped the team overtake the score, while in the game with Poland, Wang Li did not play, so the team lost the game...... yes, what does that mean?
After Mourinho spoke, the reporters immediately put the microphone to Wang Li's mouth at the same time, and they had not found a chance to interview the brunette boy since he returned to London from Poland, and they would not let go of this opportunity easily.
As for today's game? It's already a 5:2 score, what else is there to interview? Is it obvious that asking Mr. Santini sitting in the corner 'whether Tottenham's failure has something to do with his tactics as a manager', this is obviously a direct slap in the face, they will not take the initiative to provoke the manager of the Premier League powerhouse, in that case, it will be quite difficult to get the news of Tottenham in the future.
In English football, the manager is the strongest because they have enough full strength!
"Excuse me, Mr. Allen, why did you go straight back to London on the day of the match against Poland?" A Guardian reporter asked first, and other reporters also focused their cameras on Wang Li.
Wang Li smiled, he didn't care about this at all, "It's nothing, I don't like to sit on the bench all the time, so I went to Mr. Eriksen that night to ask for a starter," said this, Wang Li paused a little, spread his hands, and showed a rather regretful look on his face, "but he refused, so I felt that I might as a substitute, it was better not to play, so he asked me to take care of Wayne and return to London together." ”
"That's it?" The reporter was stunned and asked a little blankly.
"Of course it is."
"So, that means you didn't leave the team that day?" A Times reporter got to the point.
"Of course, Mr. Erickson told me to do so."
Wang Li's statement even Eriksen himself couldn't deny, that day the Swedes faced Wang Li's toughness, and directly said let Wang Li and Brigitte go back to London together, it was just an angry word, but he didn't expect that Wang Li would climb down when he touched the pole, and agreed directly, he regretted it and was not in a hurry.
"So, Mr. Allen, why don't you want to be a substitute? Every player has to play to their strengths and get the manager's approval in order to slowly become a regular player, don't you think this approach will turn off Mr. Eriksen? ”
The corners of Wang Li's mouth twitched, and he said confidently: "I think that in the European Championship, I have proven my strength, not to mention, I think I am fully capable of being a starter, just like in the Chelsea team, Mr. Mourinho started me in the first game, didn't he?" ”
After speaking, Wang Li took a sip of mineral water and continued: "I don't like to sit on the bench for the whole game every time, it will be very irritating, since Mr. Eriksen thinks that I am not qualified to enter the team's starting lineup, then I obey the coach's command......"
Although Wang Li didn't finish speaking, the reporters in the audience understood that the so-called 'obeying the command' means that they don't even ......play the substitutes, at this time, they don't wonder Eriksen is so angry, 'If the main force is not allowed to play, they will not play the substitute', if everyone thinks so, Eriksen, the head coach, does not need to go now.
But on the other hand, if from Wang Li's point of view, he scored 10 goals in 5 games in the first few rounds of the Premier League, and this terrifying goal efficiency alone is fully qualified to start in the England team, not to mention that his dribbling and speed are very good, and now I don't know when he has the ability to play a delicate pass, with this kind of strength but not being able to play the main force in the England team, it will indeed make people feel dissatisfied, and his behavior is also understandable.
Mourinho looked at Wang Li's confident face with a smile next to him, he was so satisfied with this black-haired boy's answer, and when Wang Li answered, the confidence on his face was revealed, which made Mourinho give a thumbs up in his heart, which really confirmed a sentence - people who have no strength say this kind of thing is called arrogance, and powerful people say this kind of thing but call it self-confidence!!
……………… The next day, Mourinho began to ask assistant coach Clarke to lead the team in some ordinary training, while he himself stayed in his room studying tactics. Chelsea now prepare for the Champions League group stage on 15 September.
Despite the star-studded stellar squad, Jose Mourinho's short tenure has meant Chelsea are comfortable against Premier League sides, but it's no surprise that a cross-country battle in faraway France is likely to be defeated.
The Champions Cup is not the same as the league.
For example, the Serie A giants Inter Milan, as one of the traditional top three in Serie A, Inter Milan has never lacked stars, but in recent years, this team has not performed very well in Serie A, but on the other hand, the Champions Cup game has performed remarkably.
It's not uncommon for teams to be very good at playing in the league but weak as soon as they get to the Champions League.
So Mourinho attaches great importance to the first game of the group stage, he needs to study all the information of the opponent before the game, only in this way can the game be played more securely, he likes the feeling of everything in his hands, that illusory luck, let others count on it.
………….
Early in the morning, Chelsea FC, on the first-team training ground.
After participating in the game that day, Wang Li fell into the gentle township again, but this morning, he still paid attention to the time, and he should not be late, but the training ground of the first team was empty, which made him a little embarrassed - Wang Li looked down at his watch, frowned, and said in his heart: '8:57, it should be right?' ’
"Alan!" At this time, Thomas ran over with a smile, put his arm around Wang Li's shoulder, took a few breaths, and said: "Allen, you are here, there is a new kinesiology expert in the team, Mr. Mourinho said that he will conduct a physical fitness test for everyone today." ”
"Oh?" Wang Lileng paused, and then smiled: "Okay, let's go together." ”
In order to chase various titles, it is necessary to keep the form of his stars stable and reduce injuries during a long season, so during the time of the national competition, Mourinho brought in Mr. Fabres, a kinematician from Portugal, to take charge of the health of the players.
Today is the first day of Mr. Fabres' tenure, so Mourinho simply asked Mr. Fabres to give all the players a big test.
In Mourinho's view, it is of course best if there are no physical problems with the players, and if there are problems, they should be solved as soon as possible.
And it also gives him a scientific understanding of the physicality of everyone on the team. In fact, the Portuguese also has an idea of his own deep down - Mourinho wants to know what kind of body can make Wang Li's body so flexible and fast, and even make some movements that seem shocking to ordinary people, such as his backflip when he celebrates his goal......
