Xu Zhu's Successor's Football Journey

Chapter 375 Indissoluble bond with Manchester United
After the match against AC Milan, Chelsea's amazing performance of scoring 5 goals in 3 minutes in the second half became the topic of the whole game, which was also the turning point of the whole game.Although the AC Milan players were all awakened by these 3 goals, at this time, they were already powerless.

If it is 4:2, the AC Milan players will not be too entangled, and Ancelotti will not care too much. There is a difference of two goals. When they return to San Rossi, they can still recover, and they have two goals. Away goals, which have had a huge impact on the result over two legs.

But Robben's last golden goal chilled AC Milan from the coach to the players! !

Two balls are easy to chase, but three balls! ?Even though Ancelotti is very confident in his team, he is still not sure that he can score Chelsea's three goals at home. AC Milan is not Barcelona after all. They are better at defending than scoring.

Thinking of this, all the Italian media were chilled by Chelsea's terrifying offensive ability. AC Milan's defense is definitely the top in Italy, but this kind of iron-walled defense actually made the opponent lose in 90 minutes. Facing Chelsea, AC Milan's impregnable fortress became a paper tiger that could be broken with a single stab.

No matter what the media thinks, in the end Chelsea won the game with a three-goal advantage at home. This score is really good for Chelsea. They almost entered the Champions League semi-finals with one foot.

And AC Milan is not completely lost hope, as long as they can score 3:0 at home, then they can directly advance, but now that AC Milan's league title is being threatened by the Roma team, I'm afraid they can't fully cope with the championship Cup game, so after the game, even most of the Italian media are not optimistic about the form of AC Milan.

Unless they can find a way to break Chelsea's defense and restrain Wang Li's performance, it will not be easy to score 3 more goals at home.In fact, the former is easier to say. Although Chelsea's defense is also very solid, it is still far behind the Italian teams, and the latter is the most difficult. In fact, all Chelsea's opponents are studying this point this season. , but at least so far, no team has been able to really do it successfully.

Perhaps, they can only hope that God will help. If they can also hit a climax of 5 goals in 3 minutes in San Rossi, they still have a good chance of winning.

At the end of the game, Ancelotti, who shook hands with Mourinho, was full of helplessness. His old face was completely lost in this game.

Before the game, Ancelotti had said '5 minutes to score and easily eliminated Chelsea', but now he has to prepare for the next game with all his strength.On the other hand, Mourinho has a smile on his face. He really has no reason to be unhappy when he scored this score. He smiled when shaking hands with the Italian. This expression is completely opposite to that before the game.

In the end, Mourinho patted Ancelotti on the shoulder with a victorious smile, signaling him not to be too sad, which made the Italian even more depressed. Mourinho is 4 years older.

After the game, the media focused all their attention on Chelsea's explosive performance in the second half. Wang Li's amazing performance shocked the whole of Europe, and Chelsea used a very simple long pass tactic, Easily breaking AC Milan's regional blockade, this highlight makes all clubs that have suffered from Italian defenses think deeply.

"Should we also buy a strong center and then play long balls!?"

Many small Italian clubs are thinking about the possibility of this style of play. This tactic only requires relatively high ability of the center forward at the top of the team, and against the central and backcourt players, except for a long pass, there is no need at all. Too many requirements, such an economical and practical tactic has opened up new horizons for many clubs.

Chelsea and Mourinho have become models for many clubs to learn from. All of a sudden, a piece of rumored news in the media immediately came out of thin air——
"AC Milan extended an olive branch to Gilardino..."

"Liverpool eyeing Wolverhampton striker Pitt..."

"Real Madrid intends to introduce Manchester United striker Van Nistelrooy..."

……

In short, the price of powerful centers in the transfer market has risen sharply, and some tall centers who are always underestimated in the club have all become popular.

The AC Milan media put Caladze on the gallows. They thought that Caladze was a 'traitor', and that Caladze was the turning point of the game. If he hadn't scored an own goal, then Chelsea would not have done so. Big score to win the game.

According to them: 'It's not that Chelsea is too strong, but that AC Milan has a traitor. '

However, Ancelotti sneered at this statement. Facing the media, he said: "It was just an unintentional own goal. This kind of ball is very common in games. Karadze is a strong player. Blame him for this."

As the party concerned, Kaladze felt very uncomfortable. Now he is the first substitute of AC Milan. In AC Milan where many world-class defenders gather, it is not easy to get into this position. After the game, he very low-key told all AC Milan The fans apologized and said they would try to get the team to beat Chelsea at San Rossi.

Subsequently, many AC Milan players also publicly expressed their support for Kaladze. In this sensitive period, it is obviously very unwise if there are discordant voices in the team.

However, this did not have much impact on the two coaches. At the press conference after the game, Mourinho did not mention this matter at all. Instead, everyone praised AC Milan's defense. He said: "They It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the best in the world, and the ability of every backcourt player is beyond doubt."

Then he said: "However, I am most optimistic about their teenager Kaka. I admire his performance in the game. This Brazilian teenager is indeed worthy of the title of Italy's best foreign aid."

But these compliments changed the taste in Ancelotti's ears.

If AC Milan's defense is the best in the world, then what is it that Chelsea scored AC Milan's 5 goals in a game?Attack first?This is blatant irony! !The second sentence is purely an olive branch to Kaka. Ancelotti even suspects that the Russian predator is already in action. You must know that in such an important game, as the chairman of the club, Abramo It was impossible for Mr. Veitch not to look.

"Kaka is not for sale! He is unique!"

When many English media 'concerned' about Kaka, Ancelotti said directly: "This is like Chelsea's Alan Wang. Is Mr. Mourinho planning to sell him in the summer transfer? ?"

"of course not!"

Mourinho said affirmatively, and then continued with a smile: "The salary we give Allen is even more unique, but it is said that Kaka's treatment in AC Milan is not very good..."

This sentence sounds purely disgusting to Ancelotti. Isn't this forcing him to go back and apply for a salary increase for Kaka?

But in fact, the head coach of Italy does not have the power of the head coach of the Premier League team, that is, Ancelotti does not have the right to raise the salary of the players.

As a result, the press conference broke up unhappy.

After the aftermath of this game passed, European bookmakers lowered the odds of Chelsea winning again. Now the lowest is a company in London, England. They have even adjusted to the ultra-low odds of buying two and losing one. At the beginning, many Chelsea fans believed that Chelsea would win the championship. If Chelsea really won the championship, the company would face bankruptcy due to the odds of more than [-] times set at the beginning of the season.

Now the executives of many European gaming companies have even called for stopping betting on Chelsea's championship. They feel that the risk is too great.

The English media began to praise Chelsea again, claiming that both Chelsea and Wang Li have entered a peak state, and their performance is stable and convincing.

However, according to this statement, Chelsea have never slipped from the beginning of the season.

On April 4, Chelsea lost to Southampton in an away game. In this game, Mourinho sent all the substitutes, and even a few youth team players were mixed in. The final score was 9: 1, Southampton, facing the crisis of relegation, easily scored three points, which made them very satisfied without any hope. After the game, the opposing coach also praised Chelsea's game spirit.

However, this has not been recognized by any media.

Chelsea have already won the league championship, and who Mourinho sends to play in the game is not something they can control.

However, the power of the media should not be underestimated. Under the constant calls of many clubs that have been double-killed by Chelsea this season, the media unanimously demanded that Mourinho should face up to the league.On the other side, there is also a team that is playing against Chelsea, and they feel that Mourinho's approach is very correct. For irrelevant games, it is natural to give up.

These two points of view represent the interests of various teams and the media. When there is no Champions League, the media are spitting each other on this topic.

Mourinho, who is the person involved, didn't care at all. The players from Chelsea's reserve team and youth team cheered even more. Many young players were delighted to represent Chelsea in a Premier League game. Under normal circumstances, they would definitely no chance.

On April 4, the second day of the 10nd round of the Premier League, the coaches of Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea and Blackburn gathered in London again to participate in the FA Cup semi-final draw ceremony.

On this day, the players of the Chelsea club also gathered in the office to watch the ceremony. Both the FA Cup and the Champions League are Chelsea's goals this season, and the weight of the FA Cup champion is much heavier.The FA Cup is the oldest football competition in the world, and in the eyes of most England fans, this championship is even more important than the league championship.

For Chelsea, the opponent they most want to play against is of course Blackburn. Although they are also very experienced against Manchester United and Arsenal, Blackburn is the softest persimmon. Into the Millennium Stadium, let the other two teams fight it.

Since Chelsea won the league championship, the FA also let Chelsea coach Mourinho decide the opponents of the four teams. Therefore, the Portuguese stood up and walked to the stage, watching He thought for a long time about the four exquisite cards before he took the one on the left.

It's a pity that Mourinho's luck was really not very good. When he opened the card-shaped note, all the media's shots in the audience were all shot at the old Jazz sitting in the front row.

Manchester United! !
Manchester United VS Chelsea! !

To say that Chelsea really have an indissoluble bond with Manchester United this season.

When he knew the result, Mourinho became furious. He stood on the stage and publicly questioned loudly: "I doubt the fairness of the FA!!"

After finishing speaking, he ignored the stunned FA officials and reporters next to him, and directly turned over a card on the right, on which the team logo of Blackburn and the English letters of 'Blackburn Rovers' were clearly drawn.

"Oh, sorry, I was just saying..."

Mourinho looked at the pattern on the card, and immediately blushed. After leaving a puzzling sentence, he turned around in a cool way, ignored the eyes of the people around him, went straight down the stands, and walked out immediately. After leaving the lottery scene, even before leaving, he greeted the old Sir Alex Ferguson very friendly, and returned to the club in the team's special car.

No one stopped him. After Mourinho disappeared outside the door for a few seconds, the whole scene was still silent. Everyone was recalling the scene just now, and many people even suspected that they were dreaming.

As a result, this influential figure who has stirred up the entire Premier League season has once again become a topic in the English media. He publicly questioned the live video of the FA. 'Dream Dance', one of the most popular short films in England in April.

In the afternoon, Ian Watermore, the executive director of the FA, held a press conference. He said angrily: "This practice is a serious insult to the FA. We will discuss the results as soon as possible. This ungentlemanly 'thug' will be severely punished!!"

Not long after the press conference was held, the FA's punishment measures were introduced: Chelsea was fined 30 pounds, Mourinho himself was fined 10 pounds, and the league was suspended for 6 rounds.

This kind of punishment is already very serious in normal times. The suspension of six rounds means that it is impossible for Mourinho to appear in the league matches before the end of the season, but it is not too salty for Chelsea now. 40 [-] pounds is nothing to Chelsea, and it is only equivalent to Wang Li's salary for a week, and it doesn't matter at all that the head coach does not need to participate in the league. The Portuguese are probably very happy with this result.

After this farce ended, the focus of media attention immediately returned to the match between Chelsea and Manchester United.

Speaking of which, the two teams really have an indissoluble bond this season. The League Cup and the FA Cup semi-finals are the two teams meeting, and Manchester United even played against Chelsea at home. Manchester United really lost too badly --- the Premier League was double-killed by Chelsea, and the League Cup was defeated at home. Perhaps this game is the only chance to save face.

For Manchester United, the FA Cup is the only championship they can fight for this season. If they lose to Chelsea again, they will really have nothing to gain. For the old Ferguson, the Manchester United he led, It has been the strongest team since the start of the Premier League, and it is unbearable for him to overwhelm Chelsea now.

Having said that, the media did not have much hope for Manchester United to beat Chelsea.

Lost three times in three games, can you still expect them to win the fourth time?

Perhaps Manchester United have an advantage, they can steadily prepare for the game at home, while Chelsea need to go to Milan on the 13th to participate in the second round of the top 8 knockout round, and the game against Manchester United on the 17th is still an away game. Adverse.

Perhaps Manchester United should expect Chelsea to lose their troops in Milan, so their hopes are even greater.

But after this result came out, the Manchester United team was still very low-key, at least there was no other 'Saha' to challenge Wang Li without thinking... Countless results have proved that such an approach is unwise, Even if there is such a person again, the media will treat him as a clown...

And Arsenal is the most enviable. Although they have nothing to gain, at least they have firmly won the No.2 Football Cup, and they are also firmly in the second place in the league, which is much better than Manchester United.

Regarding this point, even Ferguson said sourly: "That Frenchman is really lucky..."

Speaking of luck, the luck of Manchester United and Chelsea is really not very good...

Afterwards, many reporters went to interview Chelsea and Manchester United players. They wanted to stir up the passion of the game through the words of the players of the two teams.

"I think the team and Manchester United are very destined. We have played against each other a few times before, and now the opportunity has come again." In an interview with reporters, Wang Li said: "I hope this game will be more exciting. , They can give full play to their strengths, and now I feel that the threat of Manchester United is getting smaller and smaller, if this continues, Chelsea will have no opponents next season."

Originally, in the eyes of the reporters, Wang Li's words could provoke a war of words between the two sides, but unfortunately, the Manchester United team did not respond. The London reporter took this as cowardice of Manchester United, while the Manchester reporter It quotes an idiom from an ancient oriental country, they claim that Manchester United is really "reckless"——
If you don't call it, it's a blockbuster!
