Football: Banned for life, forced to travel to Europe

After returning to London, Mourinho and Chelsea were criticized by the media.

They seem to have forgotten that a week ago they were still touting Mourinho's command and magical substitutions. This is the media.

Mourinho put a gag order on the team, preventing Chelsea players from being interviewed.

The following month is the most important month for Chelsea this season.

They have five league games to play, a League Cup final, an FA Cup quarter-final and a Champions League quarter-final second leg.

These eight games will determine Chelsea's results this season, needless to say the cup, the remaining few games will be determined by a single game, including a cup championship.

The league is also crucial, with five league games including two London derbies, Chelsea at home to Tottenham Hotspur and away to Arsenal.

The two teams in North London are not easy to play, and now the gap between the top four in the Premier League is only four points. If you are not careful, Chelsea may be kicked off the top of the league.

So Mourinho and the coaching staff decided to adopt closed training this month, excluding all external factors, and striving for four-line attack, and they can get satisfactory results.

The good news is that in the No.20 eighth round of the Premier League, Chelsea's away game against Fulham successfully applied for a postponement. The FA has rescheduled the game until the end of March, so that Mourinho can lead the team to prepare for the League Cup final with peace of mind. .

The media will not let Chelsea go so easily. While hyping the fourth confrontation between Chelsea and Manchester City this season, they secretly ran outside the Cobham training base to get some first-hand news.

There were also many reporters pretending to be staff members who wanted to get in and take a few photos, and even two reporters from the "Sun" almost succeeded.

They pretended to be players and agents who came to Chelsea for trial training. If their football skills were not so poor and they were spotted by the youth training coach at a glance, they might have succeeded...

Although Wembley Stadium is in London, Mourinho led the team to check into a hotel near the stadium two days in advance. He did this not to avoid interviews from the paparazzi, but to make the players nervous. Get used to the atmosphere of the final.

The League Cup may not be a big deal in the eyes of fans, but this is the first final of Mourinho's second visit to Chelsea.

For the team, winning a championship first will also help build the players' self-confidence, so that the next game will be much easier to play, so there is no room for loss in this game.

However, at the preparation meeting on the last night before the game, Mourinho seemed very relaxed, and he did not repeatedly emphasize the importance of this game.

Instead, what he said most was "take it easy."

"Don't have any baggage, enjoy the game is what you should do."

"Manchester City is our old opponent. We have won them three times this season, so there is nothing to be nervous about. We will play as we usually play tomorrow... But remember, don't underestimate the enemy. I don't want to experience another lore. We could have taken it easily without making it so exciting."

There was laughter in the room. The head coach is confident and confident enough, and the players will naturally be influenced by him.

Of course, this also has to pick someone, it must be a world-class coach like Mourinho.Jesus and Boas were also very confident before, but the players didn't buy it at all...

But Mourinho didn't intentionally be confident to make the players relax. He was really confident because Aguero was injured again.

Without Yaya Toure and Aguero's Manchester City, Mourinho can't think of a reason to lose.

Manchester City lost 0-2 at home to Barcelona in the Champions League knockout round.

In this game, Kompany returned from injury, and Pellegrini abandoned Nastasic and chose to let his confidant Demichelis start.

In 7 minutes, Demichelis played his undercover role. He shoveled Messi on the penalty area line and gave Barcelona a red dot package.

Although through the slow-motion playback, everyone found that the place of the foul was outside the penalty area, and Messi fell into the penalty area, but now there is no VAR, Manchester City can only suffer from this dumb loss.

Manchester City, who played one less player, faced another heavy blow at No. 605 minutes. Aguero sprained his knee when he sprinted past and could only be forced to end...

In stoppage time, Alves helped Barcelona score another goal and completely sealed the victory.

Barcelona scored two away goals, his confidant was suspended, and the striker Aguero was injured. Pellegrini wanted to find a priest to exorcise evil spirits. He was too memorized during this time... …

Before Pellegrini went to church, the League Cup final came again.

Manchester City has been killed three times by Chelsea this season. If they lose in the League Cup final, he doesn't know how to boost the team's morale.

So Pellegrini started to be conservative, and he changed his formation.

Manchester City has been practicing 4231 these days, and Pellegrini is going to play double midfielders.

It's Manchester City's tradition to change teams in the final, right?That can't be blamed on Guardiola...

In the afternoon of the second day, the whole Chelsea team came out of the room, assembled in the lobby, boarded the car collectively, and headed to Wembley Stadium.

Before boarding the car, Wishing was stopped by the reporters. As the core of the team, everyone wanted to hear his views on the final.

"Of course it's the championship!" Wishing was still so confident, "We won so many games, but we didn't come here to compete for the runner-up."

The words of making a wish were quickly spread on the Internet in England and China.

Netizens on both sides reacted surprisingly unanimously—the wishing started to pretend again!

But everyone likes to make a wish and pretend to be aggressive. Of course his fans hope that the wish can win the championship, and the black fans hope that the wish can be slapped in the face, just like Pellegrini.

Pellegrini also pretended before the game between Manchester City and Barcelona. He said in an interview, "Manchester City will attack Barcelona at home, just like we did in the league. You know, Manchester skies are blue."

Then Manchester City lost 0-2 at home...

This time Pellegrini was more cautious, "Chelsea is very strong, but we are not weak, we will go all out in the final, I believe the championship will belong to the side with better performance..."

The League Cup final starts at 22:[-] Beijing time, which is also a sub-prime time in China. The sports station bought the rights to broadcast this game at a huge price.

Although the money was spent, the effect was great. Before the game started, the money for the broadcast rights was earned back from the advertising fee, and it was doubled.

There are also many advertisers asking the new leader of the sports station when they will buy the copyright of the Premier League.

The leader's heart was bleeding when he mentioned this matter, and he began to scold the recently retired director of XX. He gave up the copyright of the Premier League just to save that eighty cents, and it wasn't his own money...
