Godfather Of Champions

Jose Mourinho (Jose_Mourinho).

Portuguese.

Served as an interpreter for Robson when he was coaching in Barcelona, ​​and as an interpreter for Van Gaal. His coaching career officially began with the Portuguese domestic powerhouse Benfica, but after nine games he resigned because of disagreements with the board. Then coached Portugal's domestic underdog Leiria, and within half a season the team rushed to fifth in the league, setting the best result in the club's history.

In January 2002, he became the head coach of Portugal's other strong team Porto, helping the team to come out of the poor state of the first half of the season, and finally won the league third.

In 2003, Mourinho's first full season since coaching a team, he led the team to win the league, cup and UEFA Cup three championships, becoming the triple crown.

In 2004, this was a brilliant year in Mourinho's coaching career. He not only helped the team defend the honor of the league championship, but also reached the UEFA Champions League final, defeated Monaco with three goals, and led the team to Europe. The top.

In the first season after joining Chelsea in 2005, he helped the team win the league title for the first time in half a century.

Chelsea defended the league title in 2006.

This is the honour that Mourinho has won, but the brilliant coach is now in great trouble.

Chelsea’s poor record in the league, the Champions League group stage also encountered the same problem as the Forest team-the first two games of the group stage were tied and lost, and there was no win. It was also in the third game that the victory came and saved a "match point". Some media in England compared these two people together, saying that they were both young, very talented and talented. But now the representatives of the two young coaches here have encountered a serious challenge in their coaching career.

On the surface, it looks like this. The recent results of Nottingham Forest and Chelsea have been unstable, with good and bad times. But if you look at the essence through the phenomenon, you will find that Dunn is much happier than Mourinho. Because the forest team’s boss trusts and supports Dunn. The forest team's problem is only a competitive issue, it is easy to solve. The Chelsea problem has nothing to do with sports, and it has something to do with Mourinho and Abramovich, who are both unruly people. Once it has something to do with a person's character, the problem becomes unsolvable.

Since September 18, when Chelsea was drew 1:1 at home by underdog Rosenborg in the first match of the Champions League group stage, rumors about Mourinho's dismissal have not stopped. There is a lot of news outside. Mourinho has a bad relationship with Abramovich, Mourinho has a bad relationship with Barak and Shepchenko, Mourinho has a bad relationship with Grant...

There are many negative news.

But Mourinho still led the team to the present and was not really fired.

Dunn usually doesn't care much about Mourinho, anyway, the media will always report his news, and you can get an idea by looking at it occasionally. Only this time, he couldn't think of not paying attention. Because Mourinho is here.

On November 11, Singles Day, Nottingham Forest will play Chelsea at home.

As soon as the Champions League was played, the media began to speculate on the Chelsea and Forest team while speculating on the forest team’s eight-goal massacre of Besiktas. If this game is only a confrontation between two teams, it is not the most eye-catching, because at the same time in this round, there is also a confrontation between Arsenal and Manchester United.

This schedule makes the media feel that it is very valuable.

Before Mourinho came to England from Portugal, when Tony Dunn was a "Puritan" in the youth team of the Forest team, Arsenal's coach Wenger and Manchester United coach Ferguson were always in the Premier League. Special scenery, the grievances between the two of them can be written into ten books, made into five movies, and then made into a video game product. Some Chinese media once described the relationship between these two people as "humiliating each other". This idiom was changed very well, and it showed the complicated relationship between these two people-they are both deadly rivals, but they also know each other best. People. This is really complicated. It cannot be simply attributed to friends or enemies, and it is not a "hero cherish hero". This inexplicable relationship is due to the different positions of their buttocks, and it is also due to the personalities of the two.

These two men are the most famous and classic rivals in world football.

Their war of words has accompanied the Premier League for almost ten years, and it was not until Mourinho's arrival in 2004 that this delicate relationship between the two was broken. After Mourinho came to Chelsea, he frequently launched psychological warfare offensives, both Wenger and Ferguson became his targets, so the two-lord battle became a three-nation war.

The good times didn't last long. A year later, Nottingham Forest returned to the Premier League under the leadership of Tony Dunn. The coaching bench of the Premier League is even better.

Tony Dunn is a person with a very strange temper and character. His fangs and teeth are not inferior to the predecessors. His appearance made the British tabloids excited. Someone likened him to a "mad dog"-he would bite when he saw someone, and he would not be able to run away as long as he was an opponent.

The "Three Kingdoms" has become the "Four Kings." Some people prefer to separate these four people into two pairs. Ferguson and Wenger represent the past ten years of the Premier League, while Mourinho and Dunn represent the next ten years of the Premier League, or longer... England Readers and fans of ”will never have to worry about Ferguson’s retirement, they will be lonely, and tabloid reporters do not have to worry about not having any off-site highlights to report.

The confrontation between Wenger and Ferguson in the past will definitely attract the most attention. But this time, their limelight was overshadowed by the two young men.

There are too many reasons for this game to attract attention.

"Madman vs. Madman".

"A record embarrassing Mourinho-an unbeatable record against Tony Dunn".

"The Ultimate Showdown between Mourinho and Tony Dunn? "The last one is a headline used by a London media, but it is not just sensational. There are many indications that this game is likely to be the last encounter between Mourinho and Tony Dunn in the Premier League.

Mourinho's hair on the top of his head has recently turned gray, and his unknowingly has also increased. His eyes were still sharp and awe-inspiring. He lifted his face and pursed his mouth. The expression on his face was like a Greek marble carving, with sharp edges and corners.

However, this gives people a feeling of "the hero is at the end of the road."

The man who entered Stamford Bridge with the honor and halo of the "European Champions Cup champion coach" is currently in an unprecedented crisis. The team's locker room has split, and a group of people with him at the core, and a group of people with Abramovich as the mainstay cut Chelsea in half. In the past, he always had a headache on how to deal with opponents on the court. Now he must have a headache on how to win in the tug-of-war with the club chairman-even if it is only a period.

In early November, London had already started to frequent hazy drizzle. The nickname "Fog City" was born because of the exhaust gas emitted by the factory chimneys in the city of London in the early days of the Industrial Revolution. There is no such thing as a forest of chimneys and sky full of exhaust gas in London now, but at this time London is still " Fog City"-hazy rain and fog.

The Stamford Bridge Stadium is empty. It is not a match day. There is no one except some tourists and staff.

At this moment, there is a black spot on the blue stands. He is the only person on the court at this time.

Jose Mourinho sits alone in the center of the "Matthew Harding" stand at Stamford Bridge. This is the north stand of Stamford Bridge, where the home team fans stand. Opposite him is the famous South Stand, the former "Sid" Stand, the favorite place for **** Blues fans.

The Portuguese wore his well-known "Armani" trench coat and sat motionless in the stands in the drizzle. He folded his hands on his chin, like a statue of a "thinker".

He has been sitting here for ten minutes.

An hour ago, he had a private meeting with the club’s owner Abramovich. No one knew about this, and he didn't intend to tell anyone.

Abramovich's face is very ugly, obviously because of the team's poor record recently. Generally speaking, when a team does not perform well, it needs to find the first responsible person, who must be the head coach. No matter how brilliant the head coach has achieved before, honor can only represent the past-this is an unbreakable truth in professional football.

Unfortunately, Mourinho has now personally experienced this cruel truth in football.

Abramovich was somewhat dissatisfied that he led the team for four years but did not win the Champions League promised. In the just-concluded Champions League group match fourth game, Chelsea was unable to break Schalke’s goal of four on the road, and Abramovich’s favorite Shepchenko sat on the bench for ninety. minute.

During the meeting, Abramovich asked Mourinho why he did not consider sending Shepchenko to play when the team's offense could not start the situation. Mourinho replied in a hard tone: "The Ukrainian felt muscle soreness when warming up before the game, Mr. Chairman." All fools knew this was an excuse. What made Abramović angry was that Mourinho took him as an excuse. The fool played, but he suppressed his anger and asked about things in the league, especially the opponent that Chelsea was about to face embarrassingly. When Chelsea swept England, the only team that hadn't won-Nottingham Forest.

This is a record that makes all Chelsea people feel uncomfortable, and Mourinho is the same. He is an arrogant person, and he cannot accept the reality that he has been unable to defeat people like Dun En for three years.

"I promise to win this game, Mr. Chairman." This time his answer was something Abramovich liked to hear.

In fact, it doesn't matter if he doesn't guarantee. Anyway, if he loses to Dun En, his life will not be better.

But to be honest, this meeting has made Mourinho's recent bad mood more gloomy, just like the weather in London now. He knows what kind of person his immediate boss is, because he himself is that kind of person. The terrible problem is that people with this personality cannot work together for too long, otherwise there will be many conflicts, big or small, which accumulate and eventually become the beginning of a collapse.

And he had heard the sound of rubble falling from the foundation stone.

Crackling, crackling...

Mourinho raised his head and glanced at the roof of the stadium above, the raindrops hitting it with a dense sound. He then noticed that the rain was getting worse and worse.

A man in a yellow raincoat appeared under the stands. He found that there were more people in the empty stands. He stared for a while and found that it was the team's head coach. He waved his hand and shouted: "Sir! Mr. Mourinho! Why are you here?"

Mourinho got up from his seat and walked to the railing, with the rain falling from the sky, and said: "Ah, I suddenly wanted to take a walk, so I came here. Did I interrupt your work?"

The other party waved his hand: "No, not at all. I just came to inspect." He saw the rain soaking Mourinho's hair and coat, and pointed to the sky, "Rain, sir."

Mourinho followed his hand and lifted his head to the sky, the cold rain hit his face, but he did not hide, just squinted his eyes.

"Thank you, the rain is not too heavy...then I will leave. Goodbye..." He glanced at the other person's face under the raincoat, "...Mr. Scott Lawrence."

The opponent obviously didn't expect him to be an ordinary player turf maintenance worker, the well-known coach Mourinho was able to call his name, and he froze in place with excitement. By the time he returned, Mourinho would have left without a trace.

Scott Lawrence looked around the stadium stands, and the black figure of Mourinho was not seen in any corner. The conversation was gone, and Stamford Bridge was quiet again. There was nothing but the rustle of rain.

Although this ordinary stadium turf maintenance worker can be regarded as a member of the entire club, he is the most ordinary and ordinary member. The work they do is the most important, but no one mentions their name anywhere. He did not expect that Mourinho, a coach he had never been in contact with before, could actually call his name accurately.

I remembered what Mourinho looked like when I saw Mourinho just below—the whole person was almost wrapped in a black Armani trench coat, sitting alone on the huge stands, in the middle of the huge blue The black spots appear very small.

Lawrence remembered various rumors in the recent market.

This man seems to have entered a countdown to his days at Stamford Bridge? Abramovich is his boss, he is the one who pays him, but he is a Chelsea fan, if he must be chosen. He would rather leave Abramovich than this man.

But what can he do? He is just an ordinary field turf maintenance worker. He can't influence the club's decisions. He can't play football to help the team win and get the coach out of the crisis of trust.

Only... Good luck, Mr. Mourinho.

When Mourinho led Chelsea to Nottingham the next day, the media rushed to surround him, and many issues of concern were thrown at him.

"Mr. Mourinho, is the news that you are about to dismiss from the outside world true?"

"I don't want to answer questions from the future, at least now I am the head coach of this team."

"Mr. Mourinho, it is rumored that you and Abramovich have a deep conflict..."

"We work together happily, there is no contradiction. Of course he is the chairman of the club, he has the right to express some opinions about his team."

"About Grant..."

"You have to ask him his question."

"Talk about the game against the Forest, Mr. Mourinho. Will Shepchenko play? And you haven't beaten Tony Dunn..."

Hearing this question, Mourinho stopped squeezing out. He stood and looked at the reporter who asked the question. He was a little impressed. He seemed to be a sports reporter for a local newspaper in Nottingham.

"Ukrainians may or may not play. As for I have never beaten Tony Dunn? That will all be history." He added, "Just tomorrow night."

After talking about him, he stopped answering any questions, and broke through amidst the heavy siege of reporters, and entered the hotel where he stayed with the team.

Not reconciled, a group of reporters raised the camera in their hands and shot Mourinho's back.

Under the clicking flash, the back figure in the black Armani trench coat was the only focus. Whenever the flashlight is on, he is the most dazzling person, but when the flashlight is off, he merges into the black background, which is difficult to distinguish.

In the end, the creator of Chelsea's miracle empire stepped into the darkness that the flash could never reach. (To be continued, if you want to know what's going on, please visit www.qidian.com, there are more chapters, authors are supported, and genuine reading is supported!)
