Regardless of Mourinho's assessment of the Daily Mirror, many other media outlets and fans agree with it.

Count the chances Chelsea wasted in the game, and it's almost in double digits.

Gudjanssen fired a solo shot and Didier Drogba repeated it in the same position, before Chelsea pressed United into the half-pitch in the second half, with Drogba, Frank Lampard, Del Hornau and Gudjanssen all having chances to shoot from inside the box, but the end result was the same, either off the woodwork or on Edwin van der Sar.

Failing to take chances is a perennial problem for Manchester United, but this time Chelsea have been the team that can't take their chances.

United didn't have the best chances at the game, with Ruud van Nistelrooy having the best volley in front of goal, but it was Fletcher who broke the deadlock and scored just once so far this season.

The old jazz did not forget to sarcastically mock his opponent after the game, "The waste of scoring opportunities ruined Manchester United's hopes last season, and now Mourinho may have to consider whether this will also be an obstacle for Chelsea in the future." "It's not a gentleman to laugh at your opponent as a victor, but Sir Alex Ferguson would rather not be a gentleman than say anything nice about Chelsea.

As far as Chelsea are concerned, Drogba is needed when creating chances, and when taking chances, it is inevitable that Crespo is reminiscent.

But when three strikers were needed in the final minute to deliver the fatal blow, Mourinho was left with only Carlton Cole to play, and the Argentine didn't even come to Manchester.

There is news that Crespo is injured again.

However, there are also rumours that there has been an issue between him and the manager, with Crespo claiming to be injured during the game against Betis. The refusal to go to Spain with the team was actually to show his dissatisfaction with not being able to play the main team, which angered Mourinho, and he sent the Argentine into the cold.

Crespo's question was posed to Mourinho after the league with Man, but the Grape avoided answering directly. "Why don't you ask the other players who didn't come with the team? I picked 17 people to come here and the rest stayed in London, it's my business. ”

In short, the reason for Chelsea's defeat was ultimately attributed to Zhang Tiehan and Crespo.

In retrospect, it is strange that Zhang Tiehan was a member of Liverpool, and Crespo was not in the squad at all, so how could they be the key to Chelsea's defeat? But there is always a reason for losing, and Chelsea have wasted too many chances, and the reason will come out naturally.

Either way, that's good news for Liverpool.

Liverpool are second in the league. They have one more points than Manchester United and seven points less than Chelsea, but considering that Liverpool have played two games less, the gap between United and Liverpool is still not small, and Chelsea are the main rivals, and since the beginning of the season, Chelsea have only lost to Manchester United and Liverpool, drawing with Everton. The other games were won easily, and it is quite good to have such results after 12 rounds of the league. Even if Liverpool wins both supplementary games, there is a points gap with Chelsea, not to mention, one of which is a game against Arsenal, it is not easy to win, and they want to compete for the league title. Chelsea are their biggest rivals and it's better for Chelsea to lose to Manchester United than to win.

……

After the match against Aston Villa, Zhang Tiehan went to London with Steven Gerrard, Carragher and Warnock to attend a week-long training session with the England team.

This is the first time Zhang Tiehan has gone to the national team training.

He's still looking forward to it, but it's just training. What is more important to him is to get to know his future national team teammates, to know some about the team, etc., these are more important than a week's training, he is very bland, as if he has been there many times, but his colleague Warnock is more active, on the way Warnock seems very excited, he keeps asking Gerrard about the England team, such as who is easier to get along with, what kind of person Eriksen is, and even what training programs the team has, etc., a qiē a qiē, everything you can know, Warnock wanted to know.

Gerald was a little annoyed.

"Aren't you interested in any of that?" Carragher sat next to Zhang Tiehan and asked suspiciously, pointing to Gerard's side suspiciously.

Zhang Tiehan rolled his eyes, "You'll know when you go." And Steven...... "he gestured with his hand, shrugging, "and that's better than not knowing anything." ”

"That's right." Carragher was silent.

Steven Gerrard is well-rounded in football, can play in a lot of positions and can do well. He has a good relationship with everyone in the team, he is a good leader and a very good friend, but people are not perfect, Gerrard always likes to exaggerate when talking to others, such as the coach asked him to run two laps, he can say ten laps...... People who don't know him, it's easy to believe his words, just look at Warnock's appearance now, his face is a little pale, presumably doubting whether it was right or wrong to enter the England team.

And just like that, amid Gerrard's constant exaggerations, the four arrived at Wembley Stadium in London.

It's still early.

The team was assembled on the seventh day, and now it is only the afternoon of the 6th, and the four of them entered the hotel prepared by the staff, rested for a night, and went to the stadium to report the next day.

Wembley Stadium has been in the process of being remodeled for two years, and half of the stadium is unusable, but it is enough to be used as a training ground.

When a few people arrived at the stadium, they saw a lot of reporters and fans gathered around the edge of the stadium, saw a few people coming over, those fans waved to greet them, and reporters who were allowed to interview rushed over.

This is the first time he has been interviewed since announcing his entry into the England team.

'I'm very happy to be in the England squad. "Mr. Eriksen has invited me many times before and finally I decided to join the team, and the most important thing is that I can have familiar teammates here and I can play with Steven. ”

Zhang Tiehan said and hugged Gerald on the side.

When Zhang Tiehan was interviewed, Gerrard seemed to become a foil, but this can't be helped, after all, Gerrard has always been a member of the England team, Zhang Tiehan has just joined the team, and he can also be said to be the star of the England team who 'fell from the sky'. Naturally, the English media was more interested in Zhang Tiehan.

'Do you have confidence in the England team? Let's talk about next year's World Cup. A reporter handed over the microphone.

Zhang Tiehan thought about it, "I just joined the team, I don't know how it is, but my goal has always been to win the championship, no matter what team I am in." I think England's goal is to win the title as well and I will do my best to help the team fight for the title. ”

After speaking, Zhang Tiehan saw Carragher waving to him in the distance. He left with Gerrard, but the surrounding media reporters were still very satisfied with the interview, Zhang Tiehan was full of confidence when he spoke, and they could feel the confidence in their bones.

With Zhang Tiehan joining the team, it is not certain whether they can win the World Cup next year, but the strength of the England team will definitely improve a lot.

……

As the originator of modern football, England has a very special place in international football.

At the beginning of major tournaments such as the World Cup and the European Champions Cup, England's teams were disdainful of participating in the tournament because they believed that the center of world football was in Great Britain. It wasn't until England suffered a crushing defeat in their first World Cup in 1950 that the proud Britons lowered their heads.

For England, winning the World Cup by beating the former West Germany 4-2 in the 1966 World Cup final is a memory to cherish forever, the only title in English football to date.

England's best result at the European Championships was only two semi-finals, a feat for a country with a lot of superstars.

Long passes, rushing and advocating physical confrontation are the traditions of English football.

However, there are a lot of stars in the England team. Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard, David Beckham, Michael Owen and other technical, physical stars, they all put it together. Eriksen's 4-4-2 system can make a big difference, which may make some improvements to England's style, which is what the English media and fans are looking forward to.

This is the England team now.

Zhang Tiehan still knows a little about the England team, and the only thing he can't understand is why the England team has so many stars. The tactics are still rough, and compared with some club teams, the English team is even inferior to Liverpool, and the gap with Manchester United and Chelsea is quite large.

Roughness, that's really what I used to describe England's tactics.

Wait for the England team. After getting to know a group of teammates and looking at their tables in training, Zhang Tiehan felt that he understood a little bit, and the crux of the England team was not historical reasons, but the style of the whole team.

For example, in Liverpool, there are players like Alonso who have excellent skills.

Chelsea also have a bunch of foreign stars, and they will bring the whole team to a more flexible style, Manchester United, Arsenal and other teams are similar, while the English team, itself is tactically rough, they are completely unable to compare with the Spanish and Italian teams, even the giants.

England team, only England's stars.

Most of the players trained in the English league pay attention to the body and not to the technique when they are young - because the English league, especially the lower leagues, pays great attention to physical confrontation, and only the physical can be mixed in the game, and the players with only the skill are often easy to get injured, and the technical aspect is much worse than other leagues.

Despite the abundance of stars in the England squad, they all have similar styles, such as Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard, with the two midfield cores being essentially the same type of player, who can attack and defend, and who are quite good in terms of technique and physicality, but they also can't drive a flashy attack because they don't belong to that style of player.

This is also the crux of the England team.

It's not that Eriksen wants to play rough football, but they can't play flashy football, and every player will be very uncomfortable playing that kind of football, even stars such as Frank Lampard, and only a few can adapt to it, such as David Beckham, and then Zhang Tiehan......

Zhang Tiehan is also one of them, after all, he has played in Rome, but he cannot be the core of gorgeous football, and can only act as a center forward with lower technical and coordination requirements.

In short, England's tactical roughness is a difficult problem to solve.

These are the things that Eriksen needs to be concerned about, Zhang Tiehan only knows a little bit about his own observations and conversations with his team-mates, and the important thing for him on the first day of the team is to get to know his new team-mates.

Erikson gathered everyone and introduced Zhang Tiehan.

This is just a symbolic introduction and welcome ceremony, along with Warnock, who has just joined the team, and then in training, Gerrard helped Zhang Tiehan introduce a few friends, including Lampard, Terry, and two people who are already familiar with Zhang Tiehan, as well as Campbell, Robinson, Rooney, etc.

Rooney and Zhang Tiehan are also familiar with each other, but the two don't talk much privately.

This time they were both on the same team, and the two talked a lot, such as joking about the grievances between Liverpool and Manchester United, such as talking about the striker's goal or something.

Rooney is the kind of person who speaks and does things very simply, but he is very temperamental with Zhang Tiehan.

Another noteworthy is Beckham, Beckham is 30 years old, he is a bit of a 'balloon star', but he is still the absolute main force on the right side of the England team, and the 'heartthrob' is not to say, Beckham's smile is very good.

Zhang Tiehan was the same, and he also chatted with Beckham a few more words.

It was about his curling free-kick.

"I've seen quite a few videos of your free-kicks." Zhang Tiehan said, "But it's hard to play well no matter what, can you give me some guidance if you have time?" ”

Beckham readily agreed.

In fact, if the average player makes this request to him, Beckham will not readily agree, but it is Zhang Tiehan who makes the request, Zhang Tiehan is not an ordinary player, that is last season's Serie A, Champions League double scorer king, this season's England man of the year, in terms of status and strength, can be placed at the same level as Beckham, such a star finds himself to learn free kicks, Beckham's vanity is still somewhat satisfied.

But he seemed to be busy, and after the first day of training, his wife Victoria pulled him away.

Originally, Beckham said that he would guide Zhang Tiehan on a free kick, but only Zhang Tiehan and Gerrard were left looking at each other.

Gerald spread his hands, "David has always been like this. ”

"He's afraid of his wife?"

"Of course." Gerald nodded affirmatively, "It's not your average fear...... But understandably, Victoria...... I'm a little scared of that woman. ”

"Really?"

Zhang Tiehan was a little strange, he saw that Victoria was very beautiful just now, and he could still maintain it like this at the age of thirty, which was really outstanding, but what kind of temper did he ...... I really don't know.

"But Victoria has its merits, too." "She has a lot of girlfriends. ”

"Huh?"

"It's very open, if you want to have an extramarital affair and ask Victoria for help, she will introduce female stars to you, it's really good, last time I ......" Gerard seemed to sink into the memory of intoxication.

Zhang Tiehan was dumbfounded.

“…… I actually want to be in a relationship with her, but I have a wife. Gerald said here that he realized that his words were really a bit too much, how did he unknowingly report his privacy.

Zhang Tiehan didn't care at all, he just looked dumbfounded, and finally spit out a sentence after holding it for a long time, "I don't have a wife!" (To be continued......)
