The outside media is forecasting the match between Derby County and Chelsea, this is the first and second battle in the league, it is a game that is watched by all of England and even all of Europe, and there may be another reason why the game has received so much attention, that is, Chelsea and Derby County are not the 'traditional contenders' for the Premier League title, this title has always belonged to Manchester United and Arsenal, but so far this season, Manchester United and Arsenal can only be ranked third and fourth in the league, and the first place in the league is still a little far from them.

Chelsea are a strong team on the rise, with Derby County the biggest dark horse of the season and this game will be in the spotlight.

The managers of Chelsea and Derby County, in particular, are not low-key people, and news reports about the two managers have always been the subject of much talk in the English media.

At the same time, Chelsea are in the midst of a minor crisis, and the latest news about them has been Mutu, who was sacked by Chelsea in October after it was revealed that Chelsea striker Mutu was smoking cocaine.

Speaking to the British media, Romanian striker Mutu revealed that he has been on drugs for eight months, but he believes that Chelsea have not fulfilled their obligation to help them and have not helped players in need in the same way as Arsenal.

∧≌ Mutu admitted in an interview with the British newspaper People on Sunday that he had been using cocaine for eight months, and that he tried drugs for the first time in February this year, until Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho asked for a test in October to expose himself.

Mutu also admits that he started tasting drugs when Ranieri was still in the team and lied to the coach when Mourinho arrived: "I started taking drugs in February. I felt very sad and lonely at that time, and I was hurt during that time. ”

"I rarely drink, so I get drunk easily, and I needed something to make me feel better. I made a mistake. I'm very sorry for that. But who doesn't make mistakes in life? ”

Mutu believes it is entirely incumbent on Chelsea to help them out of the slump but they did not do so and CEO Kenyon released him from his contract, "I need help and I hope Chelsea can help me but I didn't expect them to sack me while I was still at the FA hearing".

'I think I fired me on my own initiative, I think Chelsea wanted to get rid of me, but I don't believe in the idea of sacking me as Abramovich's owner. Both Adams and Merson have had the help of Arsenal and have weathered the storm. ”

Peter Kenyon is the general manager of Chelsea Football Club. After the incident was exposed, Kenyon directly announced that he had fired Mutu.

In response to Mutu's complaints, Kenyon retorted, "Mourinho has given Mutu a chance, but he doesn't cherish it himself. Everyone else admits that they have problems, but this is not the case with Mutu, who is just lying. ”

At Chelsea Football Club's regular press conference, Mourinho confirmed the issue. 'I met Mutu on my first day at Chelsea, and there were two of his agents at the time, and I sued all three of them. There is news that Mutu is taking cocaine. All three of them laughed and said it was no such thing. Obviously, none of what the three of them said was the truth. ”

The impact of the Mutu incident is still very widespread, although Mutu is only a striker. It's not Chelsea's main force, but after all, it's a star worth more than £10 million, and it will definitely be a headache for other clubs. Sacking such a player would have caused a lot of damage to the club, millions of pounds is a small amount, but Chelsea have dismissed Mutu directly, and of course, they will not need to pay Mutu in the future.

However, it is clear that the topics that media reporters are concerned about are not just Mutu.

After all, Mutu is just Chelsea's 'substitute striker', not a starter, and the table is not so prominent, now they are concerned about the next round of the league, Chelsea is going to the Pride Stadium to challenge Derby County, so far Derby County is still unbeaten, not only unbeaten in the league, but also unbeaten in the League Cup and League Cup.

Can Chelsea, who are league tops, break Derby's unbeaten streak?

That's what the media cares about.

When asked about Derby County, Mourinho smiled again, saying, "I'm looking forward to this game, this season Derby County table xiàn is very good, I watched some of their games, especially the last round of their game against Middlesbrough, Rafael van der Vaart was very good, I was thinking, if he comes to Stamford Bridge, he will definitely form the strongest forward line with Robben." Both are Dutch, not only at club level, but also with the national team. ”

Mourinho said.

Hearing this, the media immediately became excited.

Although Mourinho's 'big mouth' is not very famous, many neutral media are very strange, because it means big news, and they can fully understand this as Mourinho has taken a fancy to Van der Vaart, and with Abramovich's financial resources, Van der Vaart's value is not a problem at all.

As for whether it's a pre-game smoke bomb or something, they don't care so much!

Meanwhile, Derby County are preparing in earnest.

Chelsea are not easy teams to play against, and now in the Premier League, Chelsea occupy the top spot in the league, which is not only a point but also a reflection of strength, Chelsea have won eight consecutive league games, and Jose Mourinho won the Manager of the Month in October, which is a testament to Chelsea's strength.

In contrast, Wansheng would rather meet Manchester United than Chelsea.

It's a pity that this is the league, the opponent has no choice, Manchester United will definitely meet, Chelsea must face now, the current Chelsea, can really be described in one sentence, "strong strength, good condition, full of fighting spirit!" ”

The biggest headache for Wansheng is that Chelsea's lineup is too gorgeous!

Derby County is not bad, the strength of all players in the starting lineup is rated more than 80, and there are superstar players like Van der Vaart, the ability of Ribery, Morris and others is enough to compare with the starting stars of the giants, but this strength still cannot be compared with Chelsea, Chelsea's three positions are all strong players, and now the most prominent Robben, Lampard, and Terry are in very prominent condition, especially Mourinho is still a representative of conservatism, and it is difficult to say how he will deal with this game. But Chelsea's defence is solid, and against a team like this, a head-on collision like Middlesbrough is not going to work.

This afternoon, Derby County also had a regular press conference, and Wan Sheng appeared in the venue, and due to the upcoming match against Chelsea, there were still a lot of reporters who came to the venue.

As soon as the press conference began, there was an immediate mention of Mourinho's bullishness about Rafael van der Vaart.

Hearing the reporter's explanation of Mourinho's words, Wan Sheng just smiled faintly and said. 'He's optimistic about every player who is good, look at the players he brings to the Premier League, Carvalho, Thiago Mendes, Kezman, Paolo Ferreira are a few players who cost Mr Abramovich £60 million, but he won thanks to Robben, it was Frank Lampard, these two players are favored by Mr. Latserpin.

"He's lucky, Lather pinched away, he came, and then he won one win after another with the players that Lather pinched favorites. It's really interesting. ”

"Looking at the players he likes, how many of them can start in important games?"

Wan Sheng said, a disdainful smile on his face.

When asked by a reporter whether Mourinho's words would have an impact on Rafael van der Vaart's form, Wan Sheng retorted sarcastically. "No, I'm not worried about Raphael at all, I brought him from the Netherlands and I'm bullish on him."

"He's bullish on Raphael too? What did Rafael do at Chelsea. As a substitute? ”

After listening to Wan Sheng's words, the reporters in the audience laughed even more happily, they didn't expect Wan Sheng's words to be so sharp. These words are pure sarcasm of Mourinho's 'lack of vision', Wan Sheng said that he himself is optimistic about Van der Vaart, so Van der Vaart can be excellent in the Premier League, Mourinho is also optimistic about Van der Vaart, and then Van der Vaart can only go to Chelsea to play as a substitute What does this mean? In other words, if Van der Vaart is favored by Mourinho and chooses to go to Chelsea, he will definitely be bad, which is pure irony that Mourinho will not use people.

Before the two teams played, the war of words between the two managers was still fascinating.

Soon the media made a comparison of the ability of the two coaches of Mourinho and Wansheng, the ability of the head coach has three main aspects, the most important thing is of course the coaching ability, in addition to the vision, personality charm, etc., want to compare, Mourinho has the advantage of coaching ability, because his leadership has been proven, two seasons in charge of Porto, Mourinho brought six titles to the team, including two big and small' Treble's accolades, while Wan Sheng only had one season in charge, helping Derby County to win the League One title and the FA Cup, compared to Jose Mourinho, who naturally won the Champions League.

Of course, it's hard to say what the future will be in this regard, after all, Wansheng is still very young, but so far it is like this, the ability of the manager still depends on the championship, Mourinho has won a lot of titles, so he is better.

In terms of looking at people's eyes, Wansheng is naturally much better than Mourinho.

In fact, Mourinho has not yet proved his vision for people, he came to Chelsea to buy a few players, Drogba, Carvalho is barely okay, but it is only barely possible, compared to the value of 30 million euros they are all over, their table is still a lot worse, other players, such as Paulo Ferreira, Thiago Mendes is not at all, it is not easy for both of them to have a chance to play, It was easy to see that they didn't adapt well to the atmosphere of the Premier League.

Wansheng is a different story.

Now this Derby County team is Wansheng in less than two seasons to build, the main lineup, including Van der Vaart, the whole team combined, to Derby County transfer cost less than 20 million euros, which is so cheap in the Premier League level that it can't be cheaper, but Derby County can rank second in the league, and the results have become famous for everything.

Many of the players in the main squad of Derby County are very good, which fully proves Wansheng's vision.

In other words, in terms of looking at people's eyes, Wansheng is definitely a complete blow to Mourinho, and some media have compared Wansheng with Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger, who is good at cultivating young players, and some media even directly claim that Wansheng is stronger than Wenger.

In the summer transfers, there is a stark contrast.

Derby County bought the Dutch teenager Van der Vaart, Arsenal bought the Dutch teenager Van Persie, two players one from Ajax and one from Feyenoord, although Van der Vaart is more valuable, but in fact, Van Persie transferred away because of a falling out with the club, so in fact, the two are about the same, but now Van der Vaart has scored nine goals in the thirteen rounds of the Premier League, ranking second in the Premier League scorer list, chasing the first-ranked Arsenal scorer Henry, and Van Persie? It has not been easy for him to make use of his chances, and so far he has only scored one goal for Arsenal in the Carabao Cup.

There are also Arsenal supporters who explain that Van Persie also has strength, but Arsenal has too many strong forwards, and Derby County is unavailable except Van der Vaart, but the media and fans don't look at this, they just look at the table and the number of jù, obviously the two cannot be compared in this regard.

Think about it again, if Van Persie could have Van der Vaart's appearance, would he have very few chances to play? In short, this proves Wansheng's vision of people, in this regard, Mourinho was thrown eight streets, and it is difficult to catch up at all.

Then there's charisma.

Mourinho is obviously very dignified in the big-name Chelsea, and Mourinho also has a tough attitude towards the media; Wansheng's Derby County has hardly revealed any internal problems, obviously Wansheng is also very dignified in the team, and can completely control the entire team, plus his age is also a plus, although Derby County is not as good as Chelsea, but the two can tie in terms of personality charm.

At the same time, both of them are also negative comments in terms of media comments, and no one can say anyone.

Perhaps the two should also ask the managers of other clubs what they think about the match. Soon in interviews with some Premier League club managers, the topic of Chelsea and Derby County was asked, and in response, Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson hesitated for a moment when commenting on Wansheng and Mourinho, saying, "It's hard for me to be sure who I want to lose, if only the football game could be lost on both sides, then I would want both to lose"

Obviously, Ferguson didn't have a good sense of Mourinho or Wansheng.

Before this season, no other club in the Premier League dared to challenge the majesty of the old jazz, but now there are, and there are two, and it is strange that the old jazz can feel good.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger said: "I'm more optimistic about Derby! I also hope they win. ”

This shows that Wenger's sense of Wansheng is obviously much better than that of Mourinho, in fact, the two still have some personal friendships, and they left each other on the phone the last time they met.

Other Premier League managers have also made their comments.

Middlesbrough boss McClaren said, "Hope Derby wins!" Chelsea need to be careful, Wan Sheng is a very capable young man. "In football, McLaren is a young man and it's hard for him to take advantage of words.

Everton boss David Moyes said: "It's hard for me to know for sure the result but I want Derby to win because it's really hard for the Portuguese to make a good impression. ”

David Moyes, the good old man, said so, and you can imagine what Mourinho has made on other managers.

After David Moyes' remarks, the other managers said a word or two, mostly uncertain about the outcome of the game, and then wished for a win for Derby, and put it all together, it feels like Chelsea are the enemy of the whole people, at least among the managers of Premier League teams.

Manchester Sport, which has always been at odds with Mourinho, quipped, "He offended almost everyone." For this reason, Wan Sheng, who has always been controversial about character issues, has become a good man."

Wan Sheng didn't know whether to cry or laugh when he looked at this evaluation.

Is this a compliment or a mockery?
