With two weeks of international competition at the end of the season, the Premier League was back in action and in the fifth round, the Premier League announced the two best awards for August, both of which went to Arsenal.

Among them, Arsene Wenger is the best coach of the month in August, and Arsenal's Reyes of the month is the best player of the month.

Arsenal's performance throughout August is indeed shocking, although Chelsea also won four consecutive wins, but whether it is from the performance of the game or from the final result, Chelsea is even, there is nothing surprising, but there are no big mistakes, which is why some people say that Ye Qiu has become conservative.

But Arsenal is different, the Gunners have held high the banner of attacking football this season, playing attacking football in the Premier League, almost invincible, not only winning four in a row, but also playing an offensive storm in every game, scoring 16 goals in 4 games, an average of 4 goals per game, such a goal efficiency is better than Chelsea.

Ye Qiu's Chelsea scored U goals in the first 4 rounds of this season, frankly speaking, the goal efficiency is indeed not high, Ye Qiu himself is not satisfied, but he clearly knows where the key to the problem is, that is, many players lack time to rest and adjust, especially Ronaldinho, McConn, Deco and other international players who participated in the European Cup and the Copa America.

The European Championship is from U to early July, and the Copa America is played until late July, after which the team trains and the league starts in mid-August, the national team matches in two weeks in September, and the national team games in October and ll, so the intermittent schedule is an absolute nightmare for Chelsea this season.

Finally adjusted, there was a little state, but the result was to go back and forth to play the national team, and the training camp of the national team club is obviously different, their training camp is for the national team competition, as for the state of the players after the national team game, who cares about you?

Of course, Arsenal are also affected by the international team's games, but relatively little of them.

Chelsea are now a true international, with Ronaldinho, Claude Makelele, Davies, McConn, Frank Lampard, John Terry, Cannavaro, Didier Drogba and Wayne Rooney all of them at the heart of their respective national teams, and key players that managers from around the world are eager to use.

Relatively speaking, Arsenal has been affected relatively weakly, and Henry has also been affected by the national team, which has directly caused Reyes's brilliance, while Vieira's form has recovered a lot recently, and in addition to the French gang, many of Arsenal's internationals are not the main players in their countries, such as Reyes.

In this case, Chelsea won 4 consecutive victories and only conceded l goals, Ye Qiu was already satisfied with the team's ability to play such a result, and on September ll, in the 5th round of the Premier League, Chelsea, who played in the semi-substitute lineup, was forced to draw by the home dragon Aston Villa, ending the winning streak of the season, Ye Qiu still praised the team.

'Even at Villa Park we were able to push the home side to the ground and the only thing we didn't miss was that we didn't take one of the few chances that cost us two points, but I'm happy with the performance and I'm confident we'll get out of this situation very quickly.'

However, Arsenal were clearly unaffected by the Coach of the Month curse, which clearly did not work for Arsene Wenger, as they still won five in a row in the fifth round with a 0-0 win away to city rivals Fulham.

After the fifth round, Arsenal were points ahead of Chelsea.

Arsene Wenger is very happy with the current state of his team, saying that Arsenal are now stronger than ever, and he is confident that the team can continue to win like this, and the pressure of the so-called unbeaten record will not affect the team.

"The so-called pressure, it varies from person to person, I can't say we don't have pressure, but I dare say we can beat it"

"The unbeaten record gives us confidence and motivation to be more confident and every time we go on the pitch and want to win, that's why we've been so good this season."

But Arsene Wenger has also repeatedly stated that Chelsea will remain Arsenal's top rivals for the title this season.

'Yes, they're in a difficult situation at the moment but let's not forget that they've conceded l goals in five games and we've conceded five, and I would say that Chelsea are still the same strong Chelsea team they were last season, but they've had some problems for the time being and we're not strong enough to look down on our opponents.

Arsene Wenger made an appeal after the event: "If we want to make a difference this season, then we have to put away our contempt for our opponents and give it our all in every game"

In midweek, the first leg of the group stage of the UEFA Champions League was ushered in.

Ye Qiu still played in the lineup with half the main force and half substitutes, and finally the team defeated Paris Saint-Germain 30 away with goals from Ronaldinho, Deco and Wayne Rooney, and the strength of the Ligue 1 team that lost Heinze and Essien in a row was greatly affected, of which Heinze started for the first time for Chelsea in this game and performed steadily.

But after returning to the Premier League, Chelsea was once again held to a draw by Tottenham Hotspur at home 00.

Fortunately, Arsenal was also forced to draw by Bolton at Highbury Stadium, and the gap between the two teams is still points, while Chelsea is still second in the Premier League even if it suffers two consecutive draws.

Manchester United won Liverpool in this game, and the performance improved, but the Red Devils still fell to 10th in the rankings, and Ferguson's team has really been bad this season, and even many people feel that the Red Devils have already announced their withdrawal from the league title race.

As for the temporary Premier League rankings, Bolton, Middlesbrough, Everton and other teams are among the best, these usual middle and lower teams are full of explosive power at the beginning of the season, but the competition for the league is always a protracted battle, and the short-term outbreak does not mean anything, the key is to see the long-term sustainable combat effectiveness.

This is also the reason why Ferguson is still full of confidence in the future of Manchester United, I believe he knows very well in his heart, at least to get a Champions League qualification, Benitez's Liverpool start performance is also relatively average, currently in first place

After the end of the U round of the league, the team finally got a week's rest, and the tense and intensive schedule can finally breathe a sigh of relief, Ye Qiu also directly gave the team a day off, and then after regrouping, Chelsea is still adjusting in an orderly manner, because the team is about to usher in two major games.

In the second round of the Champions League group, at home against Porto, in the 8th round of the Premier League, at home against Liverpool, it was a tough battle.

Playing Middlesbrough, Ye Qiu obviously did not do his best, Ronaldinho, Deco, and McCone were all left on the bench by Ye Qiu, replaced by Joe Cole, Davies and Sun Jihai, and finally relied on a goal from striker Drogba to defeat Middlesbrough away.

Arsenal's performance has finally dropped a bit this round, but it is still away to Manchester City.

Mourinho is still the same Mourinho and Porto is still the same Porto

Sometimes I have to admire Da Costa's ability, after Porto won the Champions League, the players he let go are basically some marginal players, but the prices are very high, basically more than 10 million euros, but the most valuable core players have not left, and there is a feeling of getting older and more fragrant.

Carvalho at central defender, Ferreira at right-back, Thiago and Maniche in midfield, and Dellai in strikers

At present, Mourinho has two more tigers, Quaresma who switched from Barcelona, and Fabiano who came from Sao Paulo, plus the promoted central defender Pepe, Mourinho's Porto team is still strong.

But in the end, it was the old partner who helped Porto break the deadlock on the field, Alberto retreated to take the ball and turned around, and suddenly shot a long shot, Terry couldn't block it, but the foot touched the ball, causing the ball to change direction, Cech's save was wrong, although he touched the ball, but he got rid of it, and McCarthy picked up the leak in front of the goal, easily pushed and hit, 0

Mourinho, who was originally sitting in the coach's seat and nervously watching the team's strong attack after the opening, suddenly jumped up from the coach's seat at this moment, and the whole person quickly rushed out of the coaching area, raised his arms and shouted, looking extremely excited, and even made a crazy fist celebration against Ye Qiu in the coach's seat of the home team, which was full of provocation.

Just three minutes into the game, Porto opened the scoring and caught Chelsea off guard

"Use attacking tactics to score goals on Ye Qiu, who is the best at attacking, Mourinho is indeed very capable, but it is not difficult to see from this that Chelsea's recent form is indeed not ideal, although the league is still undefeated, but it has fallen behind Arsenal, and the Champions League has played one game so far, which is not bad, but even Ye Qiu himself admits that the team has problems."

The on-field commentators were clearly unhappy with the start to the game for Chelsea at home, not just because Chelsea were scored by Porto, but because the team was clearly suppressed by Porto.

When the TV picture was fixed on Mourinho arrogantly standing on the sidelines, squinting at the home team's dugout in the distance, the on-site commentator introduced: "This is Porto's young coach, Jose Mourinho, one of the best managers in European football in the past two years, but was defeated by Ye Qiu's Chelsea 40 in the Champions League final last season, and now he is holding his breath and wants to be ashamed"

"Judging from the slow motion of the whole goal, it is not difficult to find that after Chelsea's game after Makelele rotated, there were indeed some problems with the defensive coverage in the midfield, Alberto retreated to get the ball, and no one immediately marked the ball, causing him to calmly turn around and get straight to his feet, which was the key factor contributing to this goal."

"It's really hard for Davis to be reassuring to play in the back, last season's Dutch Boar was better at pressing and pressing in a wide area, and now he is in a position to protect the team, he obviously can't, but another player, Parker, also has the same problem, lacking a sense of position and a reassuring ability to protect the defence."

Perhaps it was because Mourinho did not return to his coaching bench for a long time, still standing there arrogantly, with his hands in his pockets, posing as a winner, and the Chelsea fans at the scene were obviously dissatisfied, and they booed and insulted.

"Mourinho is trying to make the Chelsea fans hate him to death," the on-site commentator laughed, "As early as before the game, he was already attacking Chelsea, thinking that after Ye Qiu changed the team's tactics from the original 43L to 3L this season, Chelsea's strength has not improved, but has declined." ”

"I believe this is also what many people don't understand, why did Ye Qiu suddenly adjust the team's tactics when the team played 43l well? And with the addition of a midfielder and wide players, Chelsea's attacking ability has not improved at all, but has fallen into a difficult situation, which has to be said to be a very puzzling thing. ”

Although Ye Qiu didn't know what the on-site commentator was talking about, he was not blind, and naturally saw what the triumphant Mourinho was, but he didn't refute it, because the fans at Stamford Bridge had already helped him fight back.

It is believed that from this game onwards, the Portuguese will be one of the least popular people at Stamford Bridge.

Of course, there are also many Chelsea fans who are puzzled by his adjustment this season, and it is not surprising that in fact all the decisions that will be praised as brilliant in the future will be bombarded like scum at the beginning, and the cruel part is that if you succeed, they will praise you for your wisdom, and if you fail, then you will really become scum.

Ye Qiu shook his head, finally stood up from the coach's seat, walked to the sidelines, and made adjustments to the team.

First let Deco's position retreat a little, Mourinho obviously defended Deco in this game, and at the same time let Davies's position press forward to share Deco's pressure, and another thing is that he made a dissatisfied voice with Ronaldinho and Rooney, feeling that they are too close to the middle and pulling more to the side.

After the restart, Chelsea began to play purposefully according to Ye Qiu's pre-match and just adjustments, and Ye Qiu did not return to the coach's seat this time, but stood on the sidelines, as soon as he saw a problem with any player, he would give him a reminder and adjustment as soon as he saw a problem

The football game is in this kind of constant subtle adjustment, and then slowly accumulates, and finally evolves into a change in the situation.

When Chelsea regained the initiative, Porto had to start playing counter-attacks, but soon Porto paid the price for their excessive fouls.

In the first minute, Ronaldinho was tripped by Ferreira on the left flank, and the Brazilian took the free-kick himself.

This season, Mourinho was promoted to the main central defender, and Pepe, who partnered with Carvalho, was responsible for marking Drogba, but the Ivorian easily won the battle with Pepe, jumped high, smashed hard, and the ball was blasted into Baia's goal, and the Portuguese goalkeeper didn't even have a chance to react, and watched helplessly as the ball went into the net, l

After the equaliser, Ye Qiu made a gesture of pressing up, and Chelsea soon used Porto's kick-off to launch a round of pressing and pressing on the Portuguese team, but there was a clear change that Deco was further back, Davies was more forward, and Chelsea basically sent it to the side as soon as they got the ball.

In the 44th minute, just when everyone thought that the first half might end with a Porto stubborn defense and a draw, Chelsea broke the ball up front and played a very delicate front-court combination.

Davies atoned, broke the ball and handed it to Rooney, who passed to Drogba, who was carrying the ball with his back in the box, and the Ivorian had his back to the goal, carrying Pepe and unable to turn, and distributed the ball to Ronaldinho on the left side of the box.

After the Brazilian got the ball, he quickly attracted Ferreira, dexterously used his personal ability to get rid of Ferreira, quickly cut into the penalty area from the left side of the penalty area, and dribbled the ball horizontally, Carvalho was startled by the Brazilian's sudden movement, and immediately flew up to grab it, while Ronaldinho made a gesture, but suddenly crossed the penalty spot.

Frank Lampard cut in quickly from behind and fired a volley straight into the top right corner of the net

With two goals in a row, Chelsea turned the tide

After the equalizer just now, Ye Qiu didn't make any obvious moves, but after the reversal, he turned around and shrugged his shoulders towards Mourinho, spreading his arms, as if to say, "Let you score a goal, what can you do to me?" ”

The Portuguese was so angry that he walked back to the dugout to the cheers of tens of thousands of Chelsea fans in attendance, and the whistle of the first half soon sounded after Porto's second restart.

In the second half, the two sides still followed the situation of the first half, Porto still adopted defensive counter-attacking tactics, Chelsea continued to attack Porto, and in the first minute, a foul by Maniche gave him the second yellow card of the game, and he was sent off the field with a red card.

Mourinho was so angry that he kept scolding the referee on the sidelines for being a black whistle, which was a very obvious misjudgment, but Chelsea said that the style of play is tough and tenacious, and the bad is that the savage and ferocious Porto are so angry that when Deco sends a free kick, John Terry heads in front of the goal, and breaks through Porto's goal again.

At this moment, all the Chelsea players were celebrating, passing by the away dugout, clearly indicating that they were going to demonstrate against Mourinho, but the Portuguese was holding back his anger with a black face.

Soon, however, Chelsea made another attack to break down the goal, which was one man less, and finally locked the score at four

After the game, Mourinho expressed his dissatisfaction with the referee, believing that it was the referee's misjudgment that led to Porto's defeat.

'We still have a lot of confidence that we can equalise or even come back when the score is still the same, but it was clear that the referee messed up our plans'

"Yes, Chelsea won, Ye Qiu won, but I don't think we lost, because we will always have one less person than our opponents, and this is the case in the Champions League final, and this game is still the same"

Ye Qiu also countered this, believing that the referee's decision was correct.

'Attacking players too much to threaten and intimidate opposing players should be punished with the most severe punishment, the Premier League, the Champions League, I don't think there is the slightest problem with the referee's decision, he should protect the teams who really want to win the game by strength, not the other way around.

"I heard Mr. Mourinho's complaints, but I think he should reflect on himself instead of blaming others, which does not benefit him or Porto in the slightest"

Of course, Ye Qiu knew very well in his heart that this was actually a psychological tactic and strategy of the Portuguese.

After all, in this world, no one in this world would be willing to accept defeat honestly, including Ye Qiu, so he had to fight back.

"Porto have improved a lot compared to the Champions League final, at least they scored"

When he said this, Ye Qiu was laughing, and he was even very interested in knowing how angry Mourinho would be when he heard it?
