Chapter 619 Juan Wuhong Wants to Win
In the cold rain, Mourinho was still standing on the sidelines, the collar of the black windbreaker turned up to wrap him.The rain fell from the sky, gradually soaking his coat.

Also as the head coach, Tang En sat in the rainy coach's bench, while Mourinho stood in the rain like a statue, not caring about the cold rain above his head.

Now the score is 0:0.

Relying on their home court advantage, Nottingham Forest launched fast breaks and raids as soon as they came up, but they encountered tenacious resistance in front of Chelsea's defense.The line of defense led by Terry, the captain of the England national team, is by no means an ordinary one. Besiktas can be madly slaughtered by the Forest team's attacking lineup, which does not mean that any opponent will concede eight goals.

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

This is the style of the Forest team, and 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.

As Mourinho, who has been dealing with Tang En 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 showing weakness was just an illusion, and their real ultimate move was hidden under this showing of weakness.If you rush forward, you will be counterattacked by the opponent.But if you don't press it, the score will not change in any way, and you will lose the opportunity to attack...

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

Mourinho is different. He didn't let his team press out, but took his time in the midfield and the Forest team.Anyway, no matter how Nottingham Forest lures them, their defense just won't push up.Ashley Cole will return to defense immediately even if he gets an assist, and he will never stay in front for too long.

"Oh, God...here it is again!" The TV commentator moaned in pain and helplessness.Mourinho has never been a coach who is famous for pleasing the audience with his offensive football. He is a "champion coach" who has won world reputation by winning one championship after another.So his Chelsea always put results 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 offense and offensive football.But Mourinho, as a "results above everything else" head coach, pays more attention to results. In modern football, defense is undoubtedly the safest and most winning way.

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

Roman Abramovich believes that Chelsea should become a world-renowned club like Real Madrid, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Barcelona, ​​Manchester United, Arsenal, and he wants children all over the world to play in blue Chelsea jerseys Play instead of the white Real Madrid jersey, or the red and black AC Milan jersey.But he believes that winning the championship alone is not enough. Chelsea lacks superstars with world appeal, and the lack of beautiful football is the root cause.But Mourinho is not interested in the kind of football that Abramovich said. He doesn't like superstars, because the arrival of superstars will threaten his authority and status in this team. He doesn't even like Abramovich. Mović dictated 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 general manager, even the club chairman cannot extend his hand to the team.It's not that he doesn't like Abramovich's "Chelsea Empire Project", but he believes that before becoming a world-renowned club, Chelsea still has a long way to go, and it needs to rely on solid results as the foundation. The foundation will not be beautiful, they are all rough but solid stones, only when the foundation is well laid, can the superstructure have the conditions and qualifications to be beautiful.

Abramovich can not wait for that day.So he bought Shevchenko and Ballack regardless of Mourinho's opposition, and he talked about Ronaldinho and Kaka all day long.Because he can't bear to go to a hotel in Arabia and find that the waiters there are talking about the Manchester United player Cristiano Ronaldo who just stayed, but what about himself?Only a few people around him surrounded him all day to flatter him.

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

In this game, Shevchenko still sat on the bench, and Ballack didn't make the roster at all.Mourinho said before the game that "Barack has been injured".This is too fake. Just a dozen days ago, Ballack also represented the German team in the European Championship qualifiers. He performed vigorously and did not appear to be injured at all.

Did Shevchenko not start?Mourinho is tired of the question and refuses to answer.It's just that there are rumors that Shevchenko is also injured, but it is a rumor after all, and only ghosts believe it.

Now, watching Mourinho's team slowly push each other in the midfield and opponents, the actual attack is pitiful.Abramovich, who was sitting in the VIP box, became increasingly pale.

Twain also didn't expect Mourinho's attitude to be so tough in this game, making it clear that he was grinding against himself in the midfield.The midfield strength of the two teams is not weak, neither of them can completely suppress the other side, and each other will win or lose.The consequence of this is that no one can dominate the game, and the game can only spend every minute and every second in a stalemate.

This kind of game lacks fast and fierce offensive and defensive battles, without the amazing skills of the stars, the speed advantage that the Forest team is good at can't be brought into play, and Chelsea's Didier Drogba has nothing to do with his strength.A game without highlights is naturally worthless to the audience.

"The game was too boring. Both sides wanted to win, but they couldn't let go... They were entangled repeatedly in the midfield, and they both lacked penetrating passes-because the defense organization of the two teams was very good, too many direct shots. Passes will only bring too many mistakes. So whether it is Nottingham Forest or Chelsea, they are very cautious. Constant cross transfers and back passes make this game unwatchable. Let us compare the previous ones that just ended The fierceness of the match between Arsenal and Manchester United is completely incomparable to this match. It seems... the duel between old enemies is still better than that of young talents."

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

The match between Arsenal and Manchester United before this game was really a spark hitting the earth.

Before the end of the first half, Arsenal's captain and French central defender William Gallas accidentally knocked a football into his own goal in the chaos. Manchester United temporarily took the lead with this own goal in the away game.Just 2 minutes into the second half, Arsenal's midfielder Cesc Fabregas equalized the score with a long shot.

Then the two sides launched a fierce confrontation, the offensive and defensive transition was fast, and the stars showed their own stunts one after another, which made the audience hooked.The second climax of the game came in the last 10 minutes. No.801 minutes, Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo, who is more mature and in good shape this season, 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, Wenger was pissed off.

In the No.90 minute, Arsenal captain William Gallas, who just scored an own goal 45 minutes ago and put the team in trouble, completed self-salvation.He scored the equalizer goal for his team in the corner kick that Arsenal won.When he raised his arms and chanted, the Emirates Stadium roared with cheers.The game ended at the climax, with the score fixed at 2:2.

Look, a game like this with four goals, own goals, sinners and sinners redeeming themselves, the tragicomedy of never giving up the equalizer at the last moment, it's hard not to remember a game like this.In comparison, this match, which was also played in the rain, was far inferior.

The overcast sky seems to be the portrayal of this game so far, with lackluster performances, uninteresting offense and frequent pass turnovers.If someone likes to watch big stars fall and roll in the mud, they will be satisfied with the dirty mud.Unfortunately, there are not many people with this perverted mentality.

If this was a Barcelona or Real Madrid game, no matter whose home game it was, there would be boos in the stands, resounding all over the world.However, the fans of both teams paid homage to their head coaches. Even if the game was dull, their voices of cheering did not weaken at all.

As long as they can defeat the opponent, they don't care about the process of the game.Of course, it would be even more exciting if the opponent was defeated by the opponent's own goal!

"I don't think we need to continue entangled with them in the midfield." Tang said to Tang En next to him. "Maybe you can try to pass a long pass directly behind without going through the midfield?"

Tang En squeezed his chin and watched for a while: "What you said may be a solution." He got up and walked to the sidelines to convey this adjustment to the team.

Chelsea obviously wanted to disrupt Forest's counterattack plan by scuffling Forest in the midfield.Then bypassing the midfield might really be a viable idea.If too much energy is put in the midfield, except that George Wood may become the best player in the game, the Forest team will have nothing to gain.

He made a gesture asking for a long ball from the team.

This was an adjustment that Twain wasn't sure if it was effective. He made it, but he didn't get the result he wanted.

When the Forest team hoped to bypass the midfield and directly hit the opponent, the result was that it brought more mistakes to the team.Van Nistelrooy alone lacked support in front, and the support of his teammates weakened the strength of the midfield.

Chelsea took advantage of the opportunity, intercepting the ball and launching a quick attack.Lampard took away George Wood, Drogba attracted the attention of Ayala and Kompany, and the Forest team defended all they thought Chelsea were dangerous, except for one person they didn't pay attention to because That person was too intimidating offensively.

But this is the man who, after receiving a goal from Essien in the midfield, suddenly took a long shot!A long shot 30 meters away from the goal, passed through the crowd, and directly penetrated the gate guarded by Van der Sar!

The listless commentator screamed: "Brilliant goal! Makelele beat van der Sar!"

Yes, the one who scored the goal was Makelele, the midfielder who was least likely to score.

Tang En was shocked by this scene.He asked the players to pay close attention to Chelsea's offensive points before the game, and completely froze these dangerous elements at all costs. He mentioned the names of many people, even Shevchenko who did not play, but he did not mention Mark Lele, he thinks that Makelele will not be the last blow to solve the problem at all in the offense.

But he was wrong.

"World wave!" The commentator was still excited. In addition to the strong contrast brought about by the dullness of the previous game, it was also because the goal was indeed scored beautifully, and it really deserved the evaluation of "world wave".

The football flew straight from the midfield 30 meters away to the goal. Van der Sar, who is 1.9 meters [-] in height, jumped up and stretched his arms as far as possible. He tried his best, but he still couldn't save the goal behind him. His fingertips, between the post and his hand, flew into the goal.

The whole process leaves people speechless... Of course, there is one exception.

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

Tang En did not admit that his tactical arrangement was wrong, he thought that he had lost to luck - at this moment, Makelele possessed God and shot possibly the most beautiful goal in his career.

"Just like when George Wood entered Chelsea in the semi-finals of the Champions League! This goal is a classic! They all come from defensive midfielders who are the least likely to score goals. Performance in being knocked out in the semi-final of the Champions League! Now the Chelsea guys are back with revenge!"

Mourinho waved his fists excitedly on the sidelines, his coat was fluttering with every movement, and raindrops splashed everywhere.If anyone could see his expression, he would be surprised that instead of laughing, he was gnashing his teeth.

The TV broadcast very timely cut a scene to the box. In the simple box of the city stadium, Chelsea club chairman Roman Abramovich is celebrating the goal with dancing. Facing such a beautiful goal, his face is as cold as Siberia. There was also a smile.

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

Judging from this shot alone, there may be no conflict between Mourinho and Abramovich... However, after celebrating the goal, Abramovich applauded and sat down again, his face turned into "Siberia".

Celebrating goals is celebrating goals, which does not change his opinion of Mourinho in the slightest.

Besides, even if Mourinho can lead the team to play as beautiful offensive football as Arsenal, it can't change the result that he and Abramovich have a disagreement in character, and one of the two must go.

Mourinho is also very aware of this. After celebrating the goal wildly, he returned to the "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 means nothing about whether he will stay at Chelsea.Since it is meaningless, it is completely unnecessary to hang these questions in your heart.He wanted to win this game not because he wanted to stay at Chelsea, but because his opponent was Tony Twain, whom he had never won before. He wanted to win, it was as simple as that.
