Chapter 63: Ten rounds of battles provoke the interview between Mourinho and Pochettino

[Ten rounds, eight wins, one draw and one loss, one point away from the top of the table, why can Leicester City play such a hot offensive this season? ] 】

[The dark horse of the English Premier League? Leicester have 25 points from just 10 games. 】

[Possibility of winning the championship? 1:5000 fairy tale odds into reality? 】

[Veteran Chen Yufeng made his debut season amazingly, and he has already hit four goals and five assists with efficient statistics, which is just around the corner from the two doubles he said. 】

This was the day after the 10th round of the Premier League was over, and the media wasted the most pen and ink.

At a milestone moment like the 10th round of the league, they no longer focus on the wins and losses of individual games, but make a summary of the entire standings.

They will need to see which clubs have title hopes of competing for the title this season and which ones have the potential to compete for the top four.

At this glance, everyone found out that Leicester City, which was not favored by everyone at the beginning of that season, was still ranked second in the standings at this time.

And they are just one point away from Manchester City in the first place.

It's a very scary picture, and the Leicester Blue Fox's logo is in that position, which looks a little weird.

Many people who have not paid attention to the Premier League standings before, when they see this scene for the first time, they will feel dazzled?

Leicester City?

Not in the relegation zone, in second place?

In this regard, many fans also left their own comments in the shock.

"Well, I'm not an irrational person, and I think I'll take back those pre-season words."

"It's been held for ten rounds, which is indeed a bit scary."

"Of course, they definitely have no chance to win the championship, and there is a high probability that they will not be able to fight for the fourth, but playing this start is really a New Year for Leicester fans."

"If the follow-up is still good and the drop is not very big, I think I can fight for a place in the Europa League."

"It's definitely going to drop, it won't be long."

"It's still at that odds of 1 to 5,000, and if the bookmaker dares to offer this odds, it means that there is no such thing at all."

"These media are really irresponsible, according to what you say, what was before, Lampes, who was interviewed by Sky Sports, is going to get a huge bonus?"

"Twenty-five million euros? Hahaha, I don't think this can happen in football lottery. ”

"Okay, the media didn't actually advertise that they had a chance to win the championship, but they were shocked by the current rankings."

“……”

A lot of comments were made on the internet, and the fans meant it differently.

A lot of people have praised Leicester for getting off to a good start and there may be a chance to do something meaningful, such as fighting for the Europa League?

Others feel that the media is irresponsible and have started to promote clubs like Leicester City to win the championship, and this kind of gimmick is disgusting.

Overall, everyone is still not optimistic that Leicester City will stay in this position for long.

And as the heat continues, some Premier League managers also talked about Leicester City in interviews.

The world's second Chelsea coach, the madman Jose Mourinho, was asked about this in an interview.

The reason is simple, this is a coach who has already had a holiday with Ranieri, and the history of feuds between the two can be traced back to Spain in 1999.

Claudio Ranieri had previously managed Chelsea, and his successor after a poor performance was the madman who was in charge for the first time.

For various reasons, these reporters quickly sniffed a good opportunity to break out hot news, and quickly kicked the ball to Mourinho's position.

"Mr. Mourinho, you used to say that Ranieri is an old man who is almost seventy years old and has not won anything."

'What are your thoughts on Leicester's performance this season that has been ahead of Chelsea?

A reporter asked Mourinho that Chelsea had a poor record from the start of the season, and Mourinho was even on the verge of sacking at one point.

"I don't need to think about anything, I've won a lot of titles and he doesn't have anything."

Mourinho's expression was flat, and there was some displeasure in his eyes.

"Will the team end up surpassing them in the rankings?" A reporter continued to ask.

"I don't know, we have a lot of difficulties and are working on them." Mourinho is getting a little irritable.

"Will you beat Claudio Ranieri's team in the future?"

"Stop." Mourinho wiped away the reporter's lens and said coldly: "Please don't compare me with Ranieri, we are not a coach at all." ”

'Before he won the Premier League and the Champions League, he was nothing.

From Leicester's point of view, Mourinho is definitely a bit of a villain.

But it's really just his character, a character that has been piled up with countless honors and moments of high spirits.

He has this capital and this right to speak.

This is the reason why he is loved and hated, and the reason why he has always been in the spotlight.

Everyone has to admit that he will always be one of the greatest football coaches in the world.

However, looking at this season alone, he may probably lose to Ranieri for the first time.

…………

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino, who was then the manager, was quickly asked about this in an interview the following day.

"Mr. Pochettino, the team has scored 19 points in the last seven games to get to the top of the table, will you try to challenge for the title?" Some reporters first cut in with Tottenham's performance.

'Of course, every manager wants to win the Premier League.

Pochettino nodded slightly, and his mood was relatively stable for the time being.

'In your opinion, do Leicester City have what it takes to compete with Tottenham for the title?' The reporter quickly shifted the topic to the point.

"Forehead......" Pochettino was a little silent for a while, and his expression moved slightly: "Why not?" Every team is a rival on the way to the championship. ”

His ambiguous answer, of course, could not fool the reporter, "No, I mean, will Tottenham get to Leicester as soon as possible?" Is this a difficult thing to do? ”

"We'll fight for it."

Pochettino has already gritted his teeth a little, "It's not a very difficult thing, the team has adjusted. ”

"Also, Son Xingmin, who transferred close to 40 million euros this season, is not in good form at the moment."

The reporter soon began to poke Pochettino's heart again, "And Leicester City's Tottenham Hotspur discard, Chen Yufeng, has already played four goals and five assists. ”

'Will Tottenham regret it? Or personally, do you regret it? ”

"Because they heard that when Chen Yufeng was in the team, he had a very good relationship with you."

"Yes, I'll regret it, are you satisfied?" Pochettino's face had darkened completely.

Of course, he paid attention to Chen Yufeng's performance.

At the end of every Leicester game, he can't help but look at it.

If he sees Chen Yufeng scoring goals and assists again, the corners of his mouth will twitch twice, and he will feel like he has been stabbed in his heart.

Especially from an overall point of view, the data of four goals and five assists in ten rounds of games is completely top-level performance, and I can't find the slightest fault.

In the dead of night, Pochettino remembers himself when he decisively signed his contract, and he wants to give himself two slaps in the face.

Although he didn't know why Chen Yufeng suddenly seemed to be enlightened......

"Will you keep an eye on him? Or will Tottenham sign him back later? The reporter's murderous words rang out again.

Pochettino pursed his lips with visible anger, "No, please disappear in front of me, I don't want to see you again." ”

It won't come back from the contract, but if you don't pay attention, can Pochettino really bear it?

Impossible.

If he didn't see the day when Chen Yufeng sank, his heart would never be comfortable.
