Chapter 983: The madman is out of class
The first match day of the first leg of the Champions League group stage was a big upset, and Liverpool was forced to draw by Porto can only be regarded as a piece of cake, after all, Porto also has a very glorious past, and now it is also a strong team between the second rate and the first-class, and Chelsea, another giant in the Premier League, was drawn 1:1 by Rosenborg It is a big upset, you know, Chelsea is playing at home Stamford Bridge. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Since the 1-2 home defeat to Arsenal on February 21, 2004, Chelsea has not lost at home to Stamford Bridge, although it did not lose yesterday, but it was forced to draw by a weak team like Rosenborg, which is more painful for Chelsea than losing to a giant team.
Liverpool were described as 'stealing' a point from the Dragons by the Portuguese and English media after the game, while Chelsea were held to a draw by Rosenborg and were dubbed the "last egg" by the English media after the game.
The reason why the media used "last eggs" and "second eggs" to satirize Mourinho and Chelsea is because Mourinho had a magical egg theory before, because he was dissatisfied with the boss's lack of money to buy stars, Mourinho played a metaphor at the press conference to compare players to eggs, "No eggs, no omelette." The quality of the omelette depends on the quality of the eggs. There are many types of eggs in the supermarket, first class eggs, second class eggs, or C eggs. Some eggs are just more expensive than others, and these expensive eggs make a better omelette. If first-class eggs can only be bought at Wallos (a high-end supermarket in the UK), but you can't go to that supermarket, you're in trouble. ”
The English media had a very poor relationship with Mourinho, and now it is easy to have an opportunity to hit Mourinho, where will it be missed, reporters not only ridiculed Mourinho in newspapers and television, but also tried to make Chelsea players attack Mourinho, but Chelsea's players and Mourinho have a very iron relationship, no one is willing to say bad things about Mourinho at all, even Shevchenko, who has a very stiff relationship with Mourinho, said that it was not Mourinho's fault that the game was drawn by Rosenborg, This frustrated the journalists' plot against Mourinho.
Of course, Chelsea is not without companions, at least there is another giant Inter Milan with them, the away Inter Milan opponent is the Turkish powerhouse Fenerbahce, Fenerbahce's strength is above Rosenborg, but under Porto, the result is that Inter Milan lost.
In addition to Liverpool, Inter Milan and Chelsea, the other giants have all won, such as Barcelona, Manchester United, Arsenal, Milan, Real Madrid, these giants' opponents are stronger than Liverpool, Inter Milan and Chelsea's opponents, can take all three points, showing a good upward form.
The four giants of the Premier League have two wins and two draws, Liverpool and Chelsea have drawn, Manchester United and Arsenal are in good shape, which is not good news for Liverpool, Chelsea is in such a bad state, if the European competition is out early, they will definitely go all out to play the league, and Manchester United's state will definitely become a strong opponent for Liverpool again, so that Liverpool's plan to get rid of Manchester United and Chelsea in the league is bankrupt.
Back at Liverpool, Benitez hurried to hold a meeting to summarize the Champions League wins and losses and prepare for the next league opponent, Birmingham.
The result of the first round of the Champions League is definitely not good, because Marseille easily defeated Besiktas 2:0, which is even more unfavorable to Liverpool, which shows that Marseille also has the possibility of competing with Liverpool and Porto for the first place in the group, if Liverpool can't beat Besiktas by a big score in the second round of the group, then Porto and Marseille's ambition to compete for the first place in the group will be further improved, and the next game Liverpool must not be as sluggish as Porto, otherwise it will be more difficult later, and it will even affect the league in turn.
In the league, against Birmingham is Chen Yu's last ban, after this game, Liverpool can usher in their most deterrent goalscorer, and the game is easy to play, but this game with Birmingham is not easy to play, the last round of the league with Portsmouth, Liverpool was not able to win, and the Champions League match with Porto did not win, counting, Liverpool has drawn twice in a row in the Champions League and the league, which is a big blow to morale.
Birmingham is not the same Birmingham now, after the arrival of Chinese businessman Yang Jiacheng, although Birmingham did not recruit as much as Manchester City and Portsmouth, but the morale of the team is completely different.
In addition, although Birmingham is a promoted horse, but his head coach Bruce has been coaching since 02, and last season he led Birmingham to play in the Premier League, and he is not a rookie without a little Premier League experience, and recently Bruce's Birmingham against Benitez coached Liverpool still has an advantage in the league, with 3 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses in eight games, which is similar to Ferguson's record against Benitez.
Regardless of the record, the difference between the strength of Birmingham and Liverpool is there, and Benitez only emphasized two points for the game against Birmingham, one is that he must not underestimate the enemy carelessly, and he must play Birmingham as Chelsea; The second is to seize the opportunity, seizing the opportunity has always been Liverpool's biggest problem, and it was only solved after Chen Yu came, and now Chen Yu is banned, seizing the opportunity has become the top priority of Liverpool's game.
After the meeting, Liverpool trained at the base as usual, Chen Yu also practiced with other players, training for about an hour, the players stopped to drink saliva and take a break, at this time suddenly the assistant coach held his mobile phone and exclaimed: "God! Mourinho is out of class! Mourinho is out of class! ”
Hearing the shouts of the assistant coach, all the players were stunned and couldn't believe their ears.
"Really?"
"Won't it?"
"Just kidding, Mourinho will be out of class?"
……
Benitez has actually heard of the contradictions between Mourinho and Abramovich before, but those contradictions are nothing at all, whether it is in the Premier League, La Liga or other leagues, there will always be conflicts between owners and coaches, and Benitez does not think that this contradiction will lead to the sacking of Mourinho by Abramovich.
"Where's the news?" Benitez asked solemnly.
The assistant coach said: "My friend said it, but the news of Mourinho's dismissal has been flying all over the Internet, and we haven't had time to watch it yet. ”
"Well, I'll take a look."
Benitez handed over the training to the tactical coach and the fitness coach and hurried back to his office to check the news about Mourinho online.
Twenty minutes later, Benitez came out of the office, and at this time the players were not training, and they were all talking about Mourinho's dismissal.
Benitez said very unhappily: "What do you talk about if you don't train, what does it have to do with you if Mourinho doesn't get out of class, is it possible that Mourinho is out of class, can you win without a fight if you play Birmingham?" ”
Gerrard said happily: "Although it doesn't have any impact on Birmingham, we definitely have one less opponent to fight for the title. ”
Alonon said: "It is estimated that Chelsea will lose this red and blue battle between Chelsea and Manchester United. ”
Benitez said lightly: "It also means that Manchester United can secure the three points, which is not necessarily a good thing for us. ”
Chen Yu asked: "So Mourinho must be out of class, why did he suddenly leave class?" ”
Benitez didn't answer, but when he saw that it was Chen Yu who asked him, he reluctantly said: "In the end, it's still a result, Abu needs the Champions League, Mourinho can't get it, and yesterday's Champions League was forced to draw by Rosenborg, so it's logical to get out of class." ”
The assistant coach said: "I heard that Abu was laughing when Rosenborg took the lead yesterday and went to the dressing room after the game to applaud the players and coaches that they played a good game. ”
Benitez said: "Results always come first, and if we can't win our next game against Birmingham, it's not impossible for the sound of a class from the Anfield stands. ”
The assistant coach and the players were busy: "How could that be. "How is that possible?"
Benitez said seriously: "It is very likely, if we don't prepare well for the game against Birmingham, because in the next big game between Manchester United and Chelsea, it is very likely that Manchester United will win, Arsenal, Manchester United and us are 3 points apart, if we lose, Arsenal and Manchester United will catch up with us in points." ”
The assistant coaches and players alike couldn't help but be awe-struck that before the game against Chelsea, they had hoped to completely throw Manchester United out of the way and strangle their opponents at the starting line, but looking back now, United are about to close the gap with them, and now is indeed not the time to gloat over Chelsea, but to try to do their job.
In the seventh round of the English Premier League, the focus of the battle was the red and blue battle between Manchester United and Chelsea, and the red wine contract between Mourinho and Ferguson, but with Mourinho's resignation, the entire football circle and media in England and Europe are talking about Mourinho, and almost all reports describe the lethality of the incident with words such as "shock", "unbelievable" and "earthquake", and the red and blue battle seems insignificant.
The official BBC website also made a rare move to put the sports news on the front page headline with a striking dark red background, titled "That particular man is gone," and wrote extremely sensationally: "Jose used to have it all: success, a beautiful family and a good tailor, but now he has no job." He still owns the football, but he doesn't know who to pass it to. Come with us to bless this special person. ”
The Sun commented: "There is an explosive news today - the madman" Mourinho is out of class, farewell to Chelsea, farewell to Stamford Bridge. The iron fist who led the ruble to build the Blues in the north and south walked down from the altar three years later.
In three years, Jose Mourinho has led the Blues back to glory, winning their first Premier League title in 50 years, defending one, an FA Cup and two League Cups. And now, the wind is always blown away by the rain and wind, and Mourinho did not escape the same fate as Lachili in the end.
Leaping from a double as a Porto de Portugal boss to Chelsea boss, the strong-hearted and characterful coach has realised his worth in the Blues' makeover. Here, he achieved great success in the British circuit, and in three years' time, the madman won all competitions in England. However, the European scene became a nightmare for him and the Blues, with two defeats at the hands of the Reds in the final, preventing Mourinho from regaining his Porto-era glory. And behind the big ruble smashing, Abu is definitely not satisfied with the current result, the "ruble army" cannot simply focus on the country, what he needs is to stand on the top of Europe. Therefore, Mourinho's European answer will not satisfy the Russians.
Facing Nordic weakness Rosenborg in the first round of the Champions League group stage, Chelsea's attacking power was greatly reduced with Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard unavailable, and the remaining Blues did not get a satisfactory result from Abou. So Mourinho, who had been itching for three years, finally reached a "divorce agreement" with Chelsea.
Life is inevitably full of painful struggles. Bidding farewell to Mourinho is not only a person's glorious memory, but also a farewell to a crazy era.
Mourinho, good journey! ”
The Times in England lamented: "Football is a game of control, you control others and are controlled by others, investors, teams, coaches, players, fans, are really just one part of the game. In this game, it is full of control and being controlled, full of betrayal and being betrayed, and also full of transcendence and being surpassed. 'This time Mourinho doesn't want to control anyone else, and he doesn't want to be controlled by someone else. And it's not so much a betrayal as a transcendence.
Six championships in three years, the joy is not Mourinho himself, but Abou, the fans, the people who see a new football concept, the people who are tired of appreciating the charm of the madman, for Mourinho, leaving Porto is not a betrayal, coming to Chelsea not to surpass, just to prove himself.
From the Premier League title, to last season's FA Cup triumph, to a bad start to the year, no one would have expected this to be the beginning of Chelsea's decline, but with Jose Mourinho gone, Chelsea are destined to sink for a while.
But without Mourinho, Liverpool fans, Manchester United fans, Arsenal fans don't have to rejoice, and Mourinho fans and Chelsea fans don't have to cry! As long as there is Abu's ruble, the Romance of the Four Nations in the Premier League will continue. As long as Mourinho is alive, the legend of God II will continue to play out. ”
Portugal's Football commented: "...... Jose Mourinho's departure from Chelsea is arguably a matter of time. From the moment he put Abu's descendant Servchenko on the bench, the madman pushed himself to a cliff and never had a chance to make mistakes again in the Blues, which would have led to his departure. Under his leadership, the Blues' record in the new season is not good, and Chelsea, who have repeatedly lost to weak teams, have put him on the cusp, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he can leave at any time.
Jose Mourinho, who became Chelsea head coach in the summer of 2004, won two Premier League titles, an FA Cup and two League Cups in his three-and-a-half-season in charge. In the past four years, Chelsea has been deeply branded as "madmen", after they are used to winning the championship, they can no longer tolerate even small mistakes, and Abu's insistence on going his own way is very likely to make Chelsea far behind by Manchester United, the Reds, and Arsenal, unable to fight again.
Chelsea's start to the season was not good, but it was not bad, Chelsea had not yet reached this hurdle in the first few rounds of the league, and at this time the boss was most needed to run in the squad, but he left. The utilitarian Abu only stared at the report card, but he did not reflect on himself. Abou, who has always spent a lot of money, has not invested as much as Liverpool and Manchester United this season, and even less than small and medium-sized teams, such as Manchester City. Look at the previous buyers, whether it is Sheva or Barak, how many people are the people Mu Shuai wants? And when these big names come, Mourinho has to arrange for them to play, otherwise, there will be a figure flashing in Abu's office.
Mourinho is gone, the madman hated by journalists and fans is gone, and after he leaves, it is very likely that Chelsea, which has piled up rubles, will collapse in an instant, and the tactical system he has worked so hard to build will also fall apart. After the arrival of the new manager, maybe Chelsea's results will improve at the beginning, playing a role in changing the coach like a knife, but as the game deepens, Chelsea's various contradictions will be exposed one by one, maybe then they can only watch Manchester United and the Reds kill in the front. ”
Not only did the English and Portuguese media report the news of Mourinho's dismissal for the first time, but Spain, Italy, and France also published this explosive news on the front page.
Italy's "Milan Sports Newspaper" expressed surprise at Mourinho's dismissal, and invited Mourinho to coach in Serie A, and believes that Serie A is the best stage for Mourinho, like Inter Milan, and now needs a magical coach like Mourinho.
Spain's "World Sports" believes that Abu fired Mourinho is definitely a mistake, Abu wants to play Barcelona's kind of attack like mercury, but this is not something that can be bought with rubles, this is the result of Barcelona's 20 years of insisting on technical football, what Abu wants is not only Mourinho can not give him, no coach can give him, Chelsea is not good, it is actually Abou who should go, not Mourinho.
According to the French newspaper Le Corpus, it is unbelievable that a decorated coach can be sacked at the start of the season without making any big mistakes, and if Abou's bringing in Mourinho was the right decision in his football adventure, then the rash dismissal of Mourinho today could also be his worst decision.
Although Mourinho and Ferguson are rivals, Ferguson said of Mourinho's departure: "Jose's departure is very regrettable, I feel very disappointed, it is a huge loss for Chelsea and England as a whole. I really like to compete with him, he brings something new to the league. His sudden departure has put the weekend in the dark for a long time. I don't know what to do with my red wine now, good luck to him! ”
Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho have had the worst relationship, with the two having exchanged words on a number of occasions, but the departure of such an opponent from Chelsea is still a source of regret and sadness for the professor. Arsene Wenger said: "It's sad because I believe Jose Mourinho is a very capable coach. The consistency of a team is crucial and Mourinho is not good news for Chelsea. We've always had some disagreements, but we've been on a lot of sides lately. He's a great coach and he's reinvented at Chelsea to help the team become champions. I respect what he has achieved and what he can do, and he deserves respect and praise. ”
In contrast to Ferguson and Arsene Wenger's lamentation, Benitez ruthlessly expressed his concern for Mourinho's departure, Benitez was asked by reporters what he thought of Mourinho's departure from Chelsea, Benitez said: "I have nothing to say, you all know what happened to me and him, I have nothing to say about his departure, I am concerned about the weekend's game against Birmingham." ”
Commenting on the impact of Jose Mourinho's departure on Chelsea, Benitez was insincere: 'I don't think it's appropriate for me to talk about a team in a situation like this. All I know is that Chelsea are still a great team, with the best players and they are still important opponents in our title defending. ”
Blues boss Jose? Jose Mourinho's dismissal was tantamount to an earthquake in English football, and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown was also shocked by the incident.
A spokesman for Brown said on the 20th: "The prime minister is a fan and loves to watch Premier League games, so he knows Mourinho's extraordinary achievements. In his short time in charge, he made a significant contribution to English football. He is one of the great men of the sport. As one of the most successful managers in Chelsea's history, his departure has left the world indigestible. ”
No matter how regretful, shocked and regretful, the madman is gone, no one knows what will change in a post-Mourinho Premier League, but everyone knows that the Premier League will definitely change because of it. Milan Sports Newspaper expressed surprise at Mourinho's dismissal, and invited Mourinho to coach in Serie A, and believed that Serie A is the best stage for Mourinho, like Inter Milan, and now needs a magical coach like Mourinho.
