Chapter 272: Losing at the Front?

With the end of the 36th round of the Premier League, Manchester City's hostile media panicked!

Manchester City defeated Fulham 4:1, has maintained 36 rounds of unbeaten league games, as long as two more games, Manchester City can create a season unbeaten glory, by this time anyone knows that the season unbeaten is not a dream for Manchester City, not to mention, in the game with Fulham, Manchester City's state is quite brave, a trip to score four goals is enough to prove everything.

At this time, no media dared to assert that Manchester City could not be unbeaten for the season.

At the same time, the end of another game made the media feel even more cold - when the final whistle blew at the Emirates Stadium, the top three places of the season had been decided, Manchester City in first place, Manchester United in second place, and Chelsea in third place.

Chelsea's 1-1 draw with Arsenal saw the gap between them and second-placed Manchester United widen to seven points, with only two league games remaining, and they have no hope of catching the Reds.

At the same time, they don't have to worry about finishing third in the league because Arsenal and Liverpool have had worse results, and in other words, the final two rounds of the league don't mean much to Chelsea.

But these media are still counting on Chelsea to stop Manchester City!

Manchester City's opponents are only Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur, Tottenham Hotspur have a good result, but they have lost two seasons against Manchester City with two defeats and one draw, and their two defeats have been big defeats, and almost no one expects Tottenham to stop Manchester City.

Then the only chance is at Chelsea.

Chelsea may be sad now because they have had their worst season – finishing in the top three in the league and losing the Champions League.

However, at the end of the game at the Emirates Stadium, Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho and his players walked to the Blues fan stands to applaud them, and the blue shirts responded with applause in an atmosphere that seemed to show no frustration or loss.

Mourinho was interviewed at the post-match press conference.

"I used to feel like it was possible to go any further." Jose Mourinho reminisces about a season's journey. 'If we win today and then beat Manchester City and Manchester United next week, we can finish second in the league. It didn't work out, but I'm still proud of the team. ”

Jose Mourinho's first action after the game was to walk into the field, point to the stands of the visiting fans and beckon the players to come over for a curtain call. He then made a frequent gesture to the Chelsea fans on the sidelines, raising his right hand upwards to signal his head to be held high, and his mouth shouting "UP!" UP! ”。

Jose Mourinho is telling the fans to keep their heads up at this moment. Because next season will be a new beginning.

"I've always known that one day I might not be able to win a championship for a long time, and I know that feeling, so there's always hope for the future." Mourinho was referring to the time in Porto, when all the titles were won by him and Porto.

"I must say maybe I'm more proud here than when I was a champion, my players are heroes. This season, for example, they're all fighting 'everything'. They did an excellent job. This season has been magical. "After four fronts rushing into the final stages and now losing two of the most important tournaments, everyone is trying their best to finally fall in front of a great goal. "That's the hope and I'm sure we can do better next season." ”

Mourinho then spoke about the whole form of the Premier League.

'The reality is that the Premier League is over. In the standings, Manchester City is first, Manchester United is second, Chelsea is third, and it is over. ”

Soon a reporter asked. Whether he thinks Manchester City is the best team this season, Mourinho did not answer directly, "It doesn't matter. The more points they have, the more they will naturally be champions. I have to congratulate the champions, their coaches, their players, their fans and the club's hierarchy, and all those who helped them win the title. ”

Jose Mourinho seems reluctant to talk about other teams other than Chelsea, and he went on to express his pride in Chelsea's fighting spirit: 'I feel like we're champions right now. My players are heroes, they've been great all season, this season has been fantastic for me and I think today is a memorable game that showed the spirit of the Chelsea players. I'm happy with ending the Premier League this way. ”

Mourinho pointed to the fact that Chelsea, who played with 10 men in this game, still put a lot of pressure on Arsenal, and he was satisfied with the attitude of Chelsea facing the challenges of injuries, conflicts and multi-fronts throughout the season.

'Normally when a very successful team loses the title, it's usually because of a lack of motivation and a lack of effort and that's when people can blame them, but Chelsea, on the contrary, we did everything we could to achieve the goal on all four fronts and I think the players were so good.

But media reporters don't care much about the meaningful 'spirit', because the most rumored thing is that Mourinho will leave soon, Mourinho refutes the rumors that his position is unstable, "The future? No, my future is my future. I'm ready for next season in July, so I don't know why there are so many rumors. ”

Jose Mourinho concluded by congratulating Manchester City, saying that next week at the Manchester Stadium, Chelsea players will line up to welcome the city into the stadium.

"It's a tradition of English football. By now, in this era, there are fewer and fewer traditions, so we should respect it and let it continue to be passed on. ”

Mourinho then spoke about the next round against Manchester City, saying: "I don't think the last two games don't mean anything to us. We respect the competitive spirit, not the so-called key game, or not the key, that's not about us, we don't need to prepare anything now, if we lose this round again, it's hard to guarantee that we can win at Wembley Stadium, so I'll tell my players that this one must be won! ”

Jose Mourinho was referring to the two-legged clash between Chelsea and Manchester City, the first of which was in the league at the Manchester Stadium, which didn't really mean anything to either side, that is, some media were hyping Manchester City's 'unbeaten season', but Mourinho said, "To be unbeaten in the season is of course a great result, but I don't think he cares because we are the same people. He seemed to be trying to show that he and Wan Sheng were the same kind of people.

Mourinho then said something that surprised everyone who interviewed him.

"I have always had a bad relationship with him (Wan Sheng). We don't have any personal conversations, or leave each other on the phone? No, nothing. We are like enemies. Maybe this is also predestined by God, I don't believe in any God, Jesus, but whenever I think of me and Him, I always feel predestined. ”

'When I came to England he became the manager of Derby County and then we were always competing, competing. Three seasons, three whole seasons, he was a genius and I lost. But I believe that this is only temporary, and one day I will succeed! ”

"In the future, find a café and we'll have a lot to talk about."

"When I'm not going to give up any games because of that, even if it doesn't make sense. I'm going to try to stop him and the team he's leading as well. That's what a football coach does. ”

That's Mourinho's attitude towards the next round of the league.

Mourinho said a lot, and the last one was a rare expression of feelings for Wan Sheng, which was extremely rare. The interview quickly turned into a report, and the whole of England was focused on the next round of Manchester City and Chelsea matches.

Manchester Stadium called the match "an important step in the testing of both sides!" "The premise is, of course, for the FA Cup final.

Manchester City won the league but lost the Champions League. They certainly won't give up on the FA Cup, Chelsea haven't won anything this season and the FA Cup will be the only title they can strive for.

But the next time. Wan Sheng was very low-key, he did not say anything about Mourinho's words, or rather, there was no direct media interview with him.

Wan Sheng's daily itinerary is the training ground and home, and as the season draws to a close, he has become busy.

In fact, Wansheng has been sticking to his own approach and keeping all the players in the team from relaxing.

The season is coming to an end.

In fact, as Mourinho said, Wan Sheng is not so important to the unbeaten season, because it is just pressure on the team, and it does not mean anything, he is more interested in the FA Cup title.

It's simple, because that's a champion, a real champion!

At the same time, this championship is also very important to fans and clubs, and can leave a lot of marks in the club's history.

So he attaches great importance to it.

The opponent of Chelsea in the FA Cup final is not so easy to deal with, even if Wan Sheng and his players have not been afraid of Chelsea for two seasons, and have not lost to Chelsea, but the duel at the new Wembley Stadium is not doomed.

If the team relaxes and carelessly, then it will definitely be a failure.

This season, the defeat in the Champions League is enough, Wansheng does not want to experience any more defeats, so he has to use his own approach to tell everyone in the team: "The season is not over yet, we are still in intense preparations." ”

In such a tense rhythm, the 37th round of the league is finally about to begin.

Before the game, Wan Sheng appeared in the media's field of vision.

Now it is a head-on collision between the two sides, and Wansheng will not particularly avoid anything, because he thinks that the team has gone late to completely 'warm up', has a state, and has confidence in the game, so let's collide head-on!

Wansheng did not talk about the topic of undefeated season, but used a very classic, which can even be recorded in the "Wansheng Famous Quotes", interpreting all the content of the media's attention -

"He's right, we might be able to become friends. But if he tries to stop me, I'll kick him off the abyss! ”

――――

It was in this atmosphere that the competition unfolded.

Both sides took the game very seriously and were in good shape, and the game turned into a fierce confrontation and ...... A goal shootout.

In just one first half, there were four goals for both sides.

2:2。

Manchester City, Chelsea, the two sides rarely opened the game with a big score, and then after a half-time break, Manchester City once again scored a goal to tell everyone that the key to winning the game -

Goal efficiency!

"Anelka! Anelka! Live broadcast commentator Belbart zinc fan chanted, "The Frenchman has once again shown his dominance in the penalty area!" It is said that the European giants have begun to compete for him, Inter Milan offered 45 million euros to invite him to join, Newcastle United, Sevilla, Chelsea and Real Madrid and other clubs are also involved in the competition, two seasons of crazy performance, the value of the French has at least doubled, but he belongs to Manchester City, he is an important member of Manchester City! ”

'So far, Anelka has scored 27 goals in the league, eight more than Drogba, who is also in the game, and a lot of media before the game was talking about who is better Anelka or Drogba, but we can see that at least in the box, Anelka is more dominant!"

The aftermath of the third goal wasn't over yet, and just five minutes later, David Beckham's long-range cross from the right was met by Anelka, who squeezed Paolo Ferreira and turned and volleyed in to complete the scoring again.

Many media and fans were dumbfounded.

Belbart went crazy again, "Anelka! Anelka! Anelka! Anelka! ”

All he knew was the constant shouting of the names of the French.

When the excitement subsided a little, he talked about the goal in detail, "Anelka's twenty-eighth league goal, the two goals were only five minutes apart, it was Beckham's accurate long pass, the football accurately found Anelka, we can see that Ferreira is very weak in defense, he can't stop Anelka's footsteps at all!" ”

“4:2!”

"We've been able to determine the results!"

――――

At this point, Mourinho was amazed in the Chelsea dugout.

It wasn't Anelka's performance that surprised him, but the efficiency of the goals that the whole of Manchester City showed in the game!

Picture-wise, Chelsea played well in the game and they were not suppressed by Manchester City.

The data is also telling.

So far, Chelsea have had 14 shots, seven of them on target, and have scored two, which is still very good; In comparison, Manchester City had only nine shots on goal, but the key is-

Manchester City scored four goals!

Six of City's nine shots were on target, which was very efficient, but still less than Chelsea's seven on target, but City scored twice as many goals as Chelsea.

Is it a goalkeeper problem?

Mourinho looked at Cech, recalled the performance of the Czechs throughout the game, and immediately denied this, because Cech's form is not bad, and Manchester City's several goals can be said to be very helpless, just like Anelka's volley in the penalty area just now, that kind of ball can't be saved at all.

So what's the problem?

All I can say is...... Man City are more efficient in front of goal!

Looking at the in-form Nicolas Anelka, Mourinho is sure that Chelsea have lost to the strikers.
