Godfather Of Champions

In the cold rain, Mourinho was still standing on the sidelines, the collar of the black trench coat stood up to wrap him. The rain fell from the sky, gradually drenching his coat.

Also as the head coach, Dunn sits in the coach seat and it is rainy, while Mourinho stands in the rain like a statue, regardless of the cold rain above his head.

The score now is 0:0.

Relying on the home court advantage, Nottingham Forest launched fast breaks and surprise attacks as soon as they came up, but they encountered strong resistance in front of Chelsea's defense. As the captain of the England national team, Terry led this line of defense by no means general. Besiktas can be slaughtered by the forest team's attacking lineup for eight goals, which does not mean that any opponent will lose eight goals.

After six or seven minutes of attack, the Forest team still couldn't open Chelsea's defense, so they gradually slowed down the pace, organized and slowly recovered the defense to attract Chelsea to attack, so as to give the Forest team room to counterattack.

This is the style of the Forest team, their defensive counterattack is famous in European football. If you want to study Nottingham Forest, then this kind of defensive counterattack is a subject that cannot be bypassed.

Mourinho, as someone who has played with Dunn for more than three years and has never won, how could he not study this opponent? He knew that the forest team's recovery of weakness was just a fake, and their real ultimate move was hidden under this weakness. If you press on it rashly, you will be countered by the opponent. But if you don’t overwhelm, the score will not change, and you will lose the opportunity to attack...

It is this kind of problem that has stumped many coaches who played against the Forest team. Most of them would choose to attack and seek a chance to score goals, although they knew that this might give the Forest team room to counterattack.

Mourinho is different, he did not let his team out, but in the midfield and the Forest team slowly grinding. Anyway, no matter how the Nottingham Forest lures, his defensive line is not overwhelmed. Ashley Cole will immediately return to defense even if assists, and will definitely not stay in front for too long.

"Oh, God... here again!" the TV commentator groaned painfully and helplessly. Mourinho has never been a famous coach who relies on offensive football to please the audience. He is a "champion coach" who wins world reputation by winning one championship after another. So his Chelsea always put the result first, defensive football and "1:0 doctrine" are Mourinho's trademarks, and Capello is his idol.

This is also part of the contradiction between Abramovich and Mourinho-Abramovich, as a half-hearted fan, hopes to see beautiful offensive and offensive football. But Mourinho, as a head coach with "results above everything", pays more attention to results. In modern football, defense is undoubtedly the safest way to bring victory.

This is a conflict between two football concepts, but it is also the most irreconcilable conflict.

Abramovich believes that Chelsea should become a world-renowned club like Real Madrid, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Barcelona, ​​Manchester United and Arsenal. He hopes that children from all over the world will wear blue Chelsea jerseys to play. Play instead of the white Real Madrid jersey, or the red and black AC Milan jersey. But he believes that it is not enough to win the championship. Chelsea lacks superstars with world appeal and lack of beautiful football is the root cause. But Mourinho is not interested in what Abramovich said about football. He doesn’t like superstars, because the arrival of superstars will threaten his authority and position in this team. He doesn’t even like Abramovich. Morovich was arguing about the team's affairs because he felt his power was threatened.

Mourinho believes that the team should play according to his will. He is the chief in charge. Even the president of the club cannot reach out to the team. It is not that he dislikes Abramovich’s "Chelsea Empire Plan", but he believes that Chelsea has a long way to go before becoming a world-renowned club, and it needs to rely on tangible results to build the foundation. The foundation will not be beautiful. They are all rough but solid stones. Only when the foundation is laid, the superstructure will have the conditions and qualifications to be beautiful.

Abramovich could not wait for that day. So he bought Shepchenko and Barak in spite of Mourinho's objections, and kept talking about Ronaldinho and Kaka all day long. Because he couldn't bear to stay in an Arab hotel and found that the waiters there were talking about the Manchester United player Cristiano Ronaldo who had just stayed, and what about him? Only a few people around him surrounded him all day long.

This situation made him unbearable, and he desperately wanted to change everything. But Mourinho will never cooperate.

In this game, Shepchenko was still sitting on the bench, and Ballack did not make the list at all. Mourinho's statement before the game was "Barack has been injured." This is too fake. Just ten days ago, Ballack played for the German team in the qualifiers of the European Championships. He was alive and well without any injury.

Shepchenko did not start? Mourinho was tired of this question and he refused to answer. It's just a rumor that Shepchenko is also injured, but after all, it is a rumor, and ghosts believe it.

Now, watching Mourinho's team push and push each other unhurriedly in the midfield, the actual offense is pitiful. Sitting in the VIP box, Abramovich's face gradually became difficult to look.

Dunn did not expect Mourinho's attitude in this game to be so tough, making it clear that he would grind himself in the midfield. The midfield strength of the two teams is not weak, neither can completely suppress each other and win each other. The consequence of this is that no one can dominate the game, the game can only spend every minute and every second in mutual stalemate.

This kind of game lacks fast and fierce offensive and defensive battles, without the stars to perform amazing skills, the forest team's good speed advantage can not be used, Chelsea's Drogba also has no useless strength. A game without a bright spot is naturally worthless to the audience.

"The game is too boring, both sides want to win, but some can't let go of their hands and feet... They entangled repeatedly in the midfield, and they lacked penetrating passes-because the defensive organization of the two teams is very good, too much straight Passing will only bring too many mistakes. So whether it is Nottingham Forest or Chelsea, they are very cautious. The constant transfer and return of cross passes make this game lose its visibility. Let's compare it just before. The competition between Arsenal and Manchester United is completely incomparable to this one. It seems...the matchup between the old enemy is better than the new one."

The commentator is right, except for the psychological analysis of the coaches of the two teams.

Before this game, the Arsenal vs. Manchester United game was really a spark hit the earth.

Before the end of the first half, Arsenal's captain and French central defender William Galla accidentally bumped the football into his own gate in the chaos. Manchester United, who played away, temporarily took the lead with this own goal. Just two minutes into the second half, Arsenal's midfielder Fabregas used a long shot to equalize the score.

Then the two sides launched a fierce counterattack, and the offensive and defensive conversion speed was fast. The second climax of the game came in the last ten minutes. In the eighty-first minute, the mentality of this season is more mature, Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo scored a goal for the team and helped Manchester United lead 2:1.

Just when everyone thought that Manchester United would retreat from the Emirates Stadium with a three-pointer, angering Wenger.

In the 90th minute, Arsenal captain William Galla, who had just scored an own goal 45 minutes ago and put the team in trouble, completed his own redemption. In the corner kick he won at Arsenal, he scored the equalizer goal for the team. When he raised his arms and shouted, the Emirates Stadium burst into cheers. The game ended at the climax, and the score was fixed at 2:2.

Look, there are four goals in such a game, an own goal, the self-salvation of the guilty and the sinner, and the tragicomedy of never giving up the equalizer at the last moment. It is difficult for such a game to be unforgettable. In comparison, this game, which was also played in the rain, was far inferior.

The gloomy sky seems to be the portrayal of this game so far, the gloomy performances, uninteresting offenses, and frequent pass errors. If someone likes to watch big stars fall and roll in the mud and they are covered in dirty mud, then he will definitely be satisfied. But unfortunately not many people have this kind of abnormal psychology.

If this is a Barcelona or Real Madrid game, it will be played like this, no matter who is at home, the stands will definitely be booed and loud. However, the fans of the two teams worshipped their head coach, and even if the game was dull, their cheering voices did not diminish at all.

As long as they can beat the opponent, they don't care about the course of the game. Of course, if the opponent's own goal is used to defeat the opponent, it will be even more exciting!

"I don't think we need to entangle them so much in midfield." Tang said to Tang En next to him. "Maybe you can try a long pass directly behind you without passing through the midfield?"

Dunn squeezed his chin and looked at it for a while: "What you said may be a way." He got up and walked to the sidelines to convey this adjustment to the team.

Chelsea obviously wanted to disrupt Forest's plan for counterattack through a melee in the midfield and the Forest team. So bypassing the midfield might really be a workable idea. If you put too much energy in the midfield, except that George Wood may become the best of the game, the Forest team will not get much benefit.

He made a gesture for the team to pass a long pass.

This was an adjustment that Dun En was not sure about whether it was effective. He did it, but he didn't get the result he wanted.

When the Forest team hopes to bypass the midfield and play directly against each other, this result has brought more errors to the team. Van Nistelrooy lacked support in front alone, and the support of his teammates weakened the midfielder.

Chelsea seized the opportunity to steal the ball and launch a quick attack. Lampard took away George Wood, Drogba attracted the attention of Ayala and Kompany. The Forest team defended all the Chelsea men they thought were dangerous. There was only one person they did not pay attention to, because That man is too threatening on offense.

But this is the man who suddenly kicked a long shot after receiving Essien's ball in the midfield! A long shot 30 meters from the goal, through the crowd, directly through the gate guarded by Van der Sar!

The listless commentator screamed: "A brilliant goal! Makelele defeated Van der Sar!"

Yes, the scoring player is Makelele, the most unlikely defensive midfielder.

Dunn was startled by this scene. Before the game, he asked the players to pay close attention to Chelsea’s several offensive points and completely freeze these dangerous elements at all costs. He mentioned the names of many people, even Shepchenko who was not playing, but he did not say Mark Lelai, he believes that Makelele will never be the one who will solve the problem in the final attack.

But he was wrong.

"World Wave!" The commentator was still excited, in addition to the strong contrast brought by the dullness of the previous game, but also because the goal was indeed scored beautifully, and it really deserves the evaluation of the "World Wave".

The football flew straight from the midfield to the goal 30 meters away. Van der Sar, who was 1.97 meters tall, stood up and stretched his arms as much as possible. He tried everything he could, but he still couldn't save the goal behind him. Rubbing his fingertips, he flew into the goal between the goalpost and his hand.

The whole process left people speechless...Of course, there was one exception.

"Damn! Let him do it again...A hundred more times he won't be able to score such a goal!" Dunn roared angrily from the sidelines, but his voice was quickly drowned in the cheers of Chelsea fans .

Dunn did not admit that his tactical arrangement was wrong, he thought he was lost to luck-at this moment, Makelele was possessed by God and shot what might be the most beautiful goal in his career.

"Just like when George Wood scored to Chelsea in the Champions League semi-finals! This goal is a classic! They are all from the defensive midfielder who is the least likely to score a goal. They are all equally beautiful! Back then Chelsea was because of George Wood's excellent He was defeated in the Champions League semi-finals! Now, the Chelsea people are back for revenge!

Mourinho waved his fists excitedly on the sidelines, his coat fluttered with every move, raindrops splashing everywhere. If anyone could see his expression, he would be surprised that he was not laughing, but gnashing his teeth.

The TV broadcast cut a shot to the box very timely. In the simple box of the city stadium, Chelsea’s club chairman Abramovich celebrated the goal with a forehand. Facing such a beautiful goal, he was as cold as a Siberian face. There was also a smile on it.

What if this ball is not a "world wave"? He might not even be able to get up...

Judging from this shot alone, there may be no contradiction between Mourinho and Abramovich... However, after celebrating the goal, Abramovich clapped and sat down again, his face changed again. "Siberia".

To celebrate a goal is to celebrate a goal, which does not change his view of Mourinho.

Besides, even if Mourinho can lead the team to play an offensive football as beautiful as Arsenal, it will not change the result of his disagreement with Abramovich.

Mourinho also knew this very well. After celebrating the goal madly, he resumed his "obsidian statue" posture, standing in the rain with his hands in his pockets, watching the game with a cold face.

Even if he wins this game, it doesn't make any sense whether he will stay at Chelsea. Since it is meaningless, there is no need to keep these questions in mind. He wants to win this game not because he wants to stay at Chelsea, but because his opponent is Tony Dunn, who he has never won. He wants to win, it's that simple.
