Chapter 222: Future Direction (Ask for Subscription)
On the right side of the small penalty area, Long Dong volleyed into the bottom right corner from close range.
The ball was racing and the West Brom fans began to celebrate.
However, as if he had foreseen it, Jose stretched out his left foot just enough to block Longdong's shot.
The ball that bounced out was cleared out of the box by Cahill in time.
Chelsea had a chance to hit back.
Unfortunately, Hazard's shot from 10 yards in front of goal was deflected.
Jose Mourinho rubbed his hands and sighed on the sidelines.
If Eden Hazard had scored, it would have been a big win.
In the end, Chelsea won 3-1 away.
Although Jose did not keep a clean sheet against his opponents, the task of the system was completed, and the base points were doubled to 2,000 points.
The distance from 10 million points is huge.
Post-match wrap-up.
Except for Chelsea's slight advantage in possession, the rest of the statistics can be said to be very small.
In this game, both teams completed 15 shots on goal, while the number of hits on target was 6:5, and the score was 1-3.
It wasn't the poor quality of West Brom's shots, it was the goalkeeper gap that affected the final result.
Winning the game made Mourinho proud again.
At the post-match press conference, in the face of questions from reporters, Mourinho once again boasted, so unexpected.
This makes those who don't like him even more unhappy.
"Cut, didn't you just rely on Jose's play to win a game."
"It's just that I didn't look down on Jose last season."
"Haha, Makazu warns."
Jose Mourinho was in a good mood and the holiday went from one day to two days.
During the two-day holiday, Jose thought that he could find Wang Churan to enhance his relationship, but the news he got was that the two of them had returned to China.
Wang Churan and the two were in a hurry when they came out, so many things were not ready, especially the date of the visa was about to expire.
In other words, the visa period can also be extended in the UK, don't they know?
Either way, José's plan fell through.
Just when José was not sure how to arrange his vacation, Mendez called.
It turned out that he had already saved up several advertising contracts.
Today, José's fame is no longer what it used to be, so the price of advertising contracts has risen.
Among them, Adi's co-sponsorship amount has also been increased from 10 million pounds for three years to 20 million pounds per year, and the contract period is signed for five years at one time.
Adi had to raise his offer due to pressure from Nike.
When Jose won the Champions League, Nike put forward its intention to cooperate, in addition to being willing to provide a high contract, but also willing to help Jose pay off the liquidated damages with Adi.
Of course, Adi's liquidated damages are a small matter, because they are paid every year, so the liquidated damages are not set high.
A rising superstar, Adi certainly couldn't give it to a competitor, so they didn't hesitate to increase their sponsorship.
Adi's offer made José's advertising revenue instantly exceed his salary income, which is also the signature performance of the superstar.
In addition to the advertisers, a new contract for the club is also on the table, and as long as Jose has no problems, then his salary will rise from £80,000 to £200,000 a week.
With a weekly salary of 200,000 pounds, looking at the five major leagues, it is also a top existence.
As incomes increased, José's troubles began to come.
Previously there were only a handful of income items, and Jose was able to do it at a glance.
Nowadays, all kinds of brand endorsements, all kinds of income and expenditure, Jose must spend a lot of time and energy to complete if he wants to sort them all out.
It seems that it is time to form a team of individuals.
To form an individual team, it is necessary to have a legal person who is familiar with the laws and policies of each country.
Jose thought of Wen Miaomiao, but she was still only a freshly enrolled student, so Jose planned to hand over the relevant legal affairs to Mendes' agency before Wen Miaomiao could take on the big responsibility.
The second is a financial officer who is familiar with the taxation of various countries.
José has no good candidates for this financial officer, so he can only seek the opinions of others.
In addition to finances, a reliable person who manages the flow of money is needed.
The final step is to find a suitable place to work for your team.
Now that "Jose" has become a brand, it needs to operate well and maximize its benefits in order to live in vain.
Jose doesn't know how he lived in his previous life, but he vaguely remembers that as a second-rate star, he retired early, and in his later years, he couldn't make ends meet, and finally came to this life again.
Jose no longer interfered in the affairs of the restaurant, and left it all to his parents and senior sisters.
José was not involved at all except for the money he needed to put in when he needed to.
After investigation, the site of the London branch of "Jose" Chinese restaurant was completed.
With the previous experience, the selection and preparation of the site in London were very smooth.
According to José's father's vision, the location of the new store is mainly concentrated in places with a large number of Chinese, and then major tourist attractions and major football clubs.
It is true that many Westerners like Chinese food, but they treat Chinese food as if it were a taster.
In a word, I like but don't replace my daily diet.
Therefore, to open a Chinese restaurant here, the Chinese and those high-income people are the main force of consumption.
The two-day vacation passed in the blink of an eye.
When Jose returned to the Cobham training base, Jose Mourinho's long-awaited John Stones did not arrive, but Cuadrado left on loan for Juventus.
Cuadrado had high hopes for coming to Chelsea as a replacement for Mohamed Salah, only to prove that it was a completely unsuccessful deal.
In addition to Cuadrado, Piazon is also on the verge of leaving.
Piazon was one of Jose's main rivals during his youth team years, but now he is becoming more and more mediocre.
There are many geniuses, but there are always a few who can really grow.
That afternoon, Mourinho organised an intra-squad match.
Jose and Courtois served as goalkeepers for both teams.
Due to the lack of first-team personnel, the assistant coach also joined in.
The final result, thanks to a free kick by Jose, won 1-0 against Courtois.
Judging by the performance, without Jose, Courtois would definitely grow into the world's number one goalkeeper in the future.
Courtois didn't care about Jose's return, and in the fight for the main goalkeeper, he beat the one who beat Cech.
Of course, in the eyes of the outside world, Courtois's ability to get the main position is not that Cech is inferior to him, but that Mourinho wants to cultivate him, so he gave up the in-form Cech.
However, Jose's performance now makes Courtois instantly unconfident.
In terms of performance, he is not much better than Jose, and in terms of honor, Jose even led the team to get the Big Ear Cup that Abu looked forward to day and night.
The competition in football is very brutal, especially the goalkeeper who cannot be a mountain of two tigers.
Between José and Courtois, someone will be the lost one.
Over the weekend, August 29, the fourth round of the Premier League 15/16 season continued.
Chelsea host city rivals Crystal Palace.
This game is very memorable for Mourinho.
According to statistics, it was Mourinho's 200th Premier League game and his 100th Premier League home game.
For this game, Mourinho can be described as ambitious.
Congratulations, the referee for this match is Craig Paulson, an obscure Premier League referee.
It is a joke that for the Premier League referee, if it doesn't feel familiar at a glance, then this referee is okay.
The referee had already arranged it, but the starting lists of both sides were announced before the game.
For Chelsea, Jose continued to start, with Courtois left on the bench.
In addition, new signing Baba was on the bench, captain John Terry was suspended, and Cahill partnered Kurt Zouma in central defence.
The specific list is as follows:
Goalkeeper: Jose.
Defenders: Cesar Azpilicueta, Cahill, Zouma, Ivan.
Two midfielders: Nemanja Matic, Cesc Fabregas.
Attacking defenders: Eden Hazard, Willian, Pedro.
Centre-forward: Diego Costa.
In addition to Courtois and Baba, the bench also includes Falcao, Zike, and Mikel.
As for Crystal Palace, Alain Pardew also put on a 4231 formation, the specific list is as follows:
Goalkeeper: Alex McCarthy.
Defenders: Soaré, Delaney, Dane, Ward.
Two midfielders: Cabaye, Macarthur.
Attacking defenders: Zaha, Bakari-Sako, Pang Qiong.
Centre: Wickham.
On the bench, there were Bolasier, Ledley, and Li Qinglong.
As a result of Mourinho's success, the 4231 formation, which had been abandoned, was resurrected again.
It's just that the 4231 formation has too high requirements for the front midfield, and it may not be suitable for everyone.
[New Mission: Help your team achieve victory without using "Time and Space Pause" and double your point rewards.] Your current base score is 2000 points. 】
When Jose led the caddie onto the field, the system released a new task on time.
José just glanced at it and ignored it.
Crystal Palace drew the first kick-off.
Wickham kicks off in the centre circle and the ball ends at Ward's feet.
Ward's cross from the wing was denied by Cesar Azpilicueta.
From the start, Palace were awarded a corner.
The corner kick is taken and Ward chooses to drive it to the near post.
As a result, Cahill was pushed off the line again.
Crystal Palace were awarded a series of corners.
His teammates gave him a hard time, but Jose didn't have a chance to perform.
In the end, Crystal Palace's series of corners failed to threaten Jose's goal.
The attack failed, and Crystal Palace retreated from all sides, and Alan Pardew has mastered how to deal with Mourinho with his tactics.
It was Chelsea's turn to attack.
However, Pedro's shot from inside the box was blocked.
Branislav Ivanovic shot again from the edge of the area, but it went high over the goal.
Cesc Fabregas shot from outside the area, but it was slightly deflected and disallowed.
Willian's shot after cutting inside also went straight to the stands.
Pedro's curling shot from the right side of the box is also wide of the far corner.
Nemanja Matic sent a free-kick wide from the edge of the area, but Willian fired wide from distance.
Chelsea's attack seems to be thunderous and rainy.
Instead, it was Crystal Palace, who made the most of the quick counter-attacks and created a lot of scoring opportunities.
