Midfielder

Chapter 202

Manchester United was crazy in the last 20 minutes, even Mourinho had to admit it, this is the power of the Red Devils when they made a desperate attack.

"This is the Red Devils who have dominated the Premier League for ten years. Only when Ferguson's team becomes so crazy, he is the supreme commander of the European Triple Crown." When Mourinho saw this scene, he also evaluated the old Scottish man in his heart. He was indeed a tough opponent.

But this is Stamford Bridge. Mourinho doesn't care who the opponent's leader is. He wants to be the winner, so he is getting tougher.

When Ferguson urged his team to start crazy forward, Mourinho also stood on the sidelines and shouted loudly at his players.

These two crazy coaches, one old and one young, showed their crazy side at the same time in such a duel, but the process was a little different.

Manchester United's attack was crazy, but their continuous wave-like attack unfortunately hit the strongest dam. Mourinho replaced Joe Cole with Geremi to strengthen defense at the last moment. He didn't want to leave any chances for the opponent, whether on the wing or in the middle.

Thiago also retreated to his own half, cooperating with the wing to completely stifle Ronaldo's breakthrough attempt on the wing, and the other side was left to Ferreira.

This player who was selected for the European Best Team last season was completely desperate in this game. He was always entangled with Giggs.

Manchester United's left-wing attack was also unable to play its due power because of this guy's desperate defense. Giggs was even entangled by Ferreira and could only try to cut to the middle after getting the ball. Behind him, Sylvester failed to connect in time at this time.

Drogba, who was originally a defender, retreated to the midfield to help intercept at this time, but Lin Yi and Mutu were always placed in the front court by Mourinho.

"Don't retreat, hold down the opponent!" This was the task Mourinho gave Lin Yi, and the boy carried out the order very resolutely.

Chelsea only had two shots in the first half, but Lin Yi created five direct shooting opportunities for Chelsea in the last 20 minutes.

But Howard of Manchester United did not make any more mistakes this time. He accurately caught Mutu's shot twice and pressed it firmly under his body.

But the goalkeeper's excellent performance could only ensure that Manchester United's goal would not be penetrated by Chelsea, but Manchester United's defense was always dragged and dared not move.

Although Chelsea only had three people who really invested in the attack at the last moment, these three people had already turned Manchester United upside down.

Especially Lin Yi, he completely became a nightmare for Fletcher and O'Shea this time. O'Shea, who was more than 1.9 meters tall, was played like an idiot by Lin Yi.

Have you seen Denilson's fancy at the 1998 World Cup? Then you can also see the guy who can dance Samba on stamps at Stamford Bridge.

Because when facing O'Shea, Lin Yi played a six-time bicycle kick, until Brown tackled him on the side, it was over.

However, this kid once again ignited the hot atmosphere on the court with such a performance, and all Chelsea fans were deeply obsessed with this scene.

Who has seen this in the Premier League? This kind of pure technical flow is probably rare in the history of the Premier League, but today he is in front of you.

In the history of England, the only one who played such delicate technical work was the fat man Gascoigne, but Lin Yi played it more than him.

The football seemed to be stuck to Lin Yi's feet. When this kid started with the ball, he would make the eyes of the whole stadium locked on him.

With his presence, Manchester United's offense always seemed to be brave and lacked strength. This stalemate began to wear down Manchester United's patience and reason.

The simplest and most effective way was that in the last 20 minutes, Chelsea relied on its strong defense and sharp counterattack to completely drag Manchester United to death.

When the game was only a few minutes away, the players of Manchester United were already desperate in their attack, because they could not see any chance of breaking through the opponent's defense, even if there was no possibility at all. Ferguson had already sat back on the bench without saying a word.

One to zero, when the final whistle of the peak showdown between Chelsea and Manchester United blew, the final score was firmly nailed on the big screen of Stamford Bridge, and along with the referee's whistle, there were also the crazy cheers of all Chelsea fans, because they won!

At the end of the game, Mourinho stood on the sidelines, stretched out his right hand, and high-fived every Chelsea player to congratulate them on their victory, and also congratulated himself, because he could hear the cheers echoing in the stadium, where too many people were shouting his name.

From this moment on, Mourinho has conquered this place in his own way, and he is now truly the master of Chelsea.

The kid he taught had become the darling of Stamford Bridge in just 30 minutes. Now the crazy Chelsea fans were shouting Lin Yi's name with inaccurate pronunciation. From this moment on, no one in the stadium didn't know him.

The players of the Chelsea team took turns to ravage Lin Yi's black hair, making the kid's head messy like a bunch of weeds.

However, it can be seen that there is no unfamiliarity between this group of teammates and Lin Yi now. Even Lampard took the initiative to come up and hug Lin Yi.

This is football. Strength sometimes determines everything. Although Lin Yi only came on the bench in this game, everyone with eyes can see that when this kid comes on the court, Chelsea's offensive edge will appear so ferocious, and every attack will create a threat.

Although Lampard is still the main starter now, no one will ignore Lin Yi's existence. His value? Is such a performance not worth it?

What is a core player? This is the role of the core. From the moment he comes on the court, the stadium will become his stage and he will control everything.

Lin Yi used 30 minutes to interpret the style of a commander. His passing, breakthrough, and every action revealed a sense of calmness.

Just like the on-site commentator exclaimed, you can't tell that this guy is the first time to appear in the Premier League. He seems to be familiar with everything here.

And you can't imagine that this is a boy who is only 17 years old. He is very sophisticated and cunning on the court, like a fox.

"Good job." This is what Mourinho said to Lin Yi when he high-fived him, and the boy's smiling face responded to him.

"I've said it before, I'm not going to be a loser in my first game in the Premier League. I didn't expect that I would be the one who scored the goal, haha."

The response to Lin Yi's smile was a slap on his head from Mourinho, "Don't be so proud, that goal was purely a fluke. If I give you another chance, I guarantee that you won't be that accurate. You must stick to the 100 extra trainings every day in the future."

Mourinho was right, because when Lin Yi was exerting his strength on that shot, he didn't know if he could really score, and Howard's carelessness also gave him a chance. Compared with Lampard's scoring ability, Lin Yi's gap in this aspect cannot be made up by a summer of hard training.

But Lin Yi has this luck. Just like Brito said, as long as this kid is on the court, you will never know what he can do.

Maybe many people doubted whether Lin Yi could adapt to the Premier League before the game started, but this little guy proved himself in just one minute.

And he didn't use his sharpest weapon. He just relied on a clever pass and a sudden shot to kill Manchester United.

From now on, I'm afraid no one will ignore his shooting ability, especially his whimsical ideas, which are really fatal.

"Hey! What if you play like this and break the core of Chelsea!" Lin Yi tried to resist in front of Mourinho.

"Okay, kid, I advise you not to challenge that guy's patience, otherwise, maybe you will have to practice shooting a hundred more times every day in the future."

Listening to people's advice and eating a full meal, Lin Yi didn't forget this sentence, especially when facing Mourinho, in front of him, there was no reason at all.

Brito's timely appearance finally interrupted the conversation between the beastly master and apprentice. On this night, these two guys are the brightest stars.

Now listen to the cheers in the stadium. Maybe Stamford Bridge has never cheered so wildly for any outsider. This is the first time.

Even Zola may not have won such a glorious moment, but Mourinho and Lin Yi did it in just one game and one goal.

Although the game is over, it is just the beginning of the war between Chelsea and Manchester United. It is just the beginning of a long season.

And as Ferguson said in the press conference after the game, "Manchester United just lacked a little luck in this game."

This stubborn old man will not admit defeat in front of Mourinho, even if he knows that he was calculated this time.

But in front of the media, Ferguson will not bow his head, and he is quite dissatisfied, thinking that this is just Chelsea's sneak attack to defeat Manchester United. He reminds everyone not to forget that Manchester United was attacking from beginning to end in this game, and Chelsea was just defending in the half.

And Manchester United lost to the opponent away from home in the absence of Keane and Van Nistelrooy, and he does not think this is a tactical failure.

"Don't forget, we occupied nearly 70% of the ball possession time, and our shots were twice as many as our opponents, but we were just short of a goal."

Anyway, at this time, the old Sir Alex was looking for any example to show that he did not lose to his opponent. Losing to Chelsea in this game was an accident.

Ferguson was not polite to the young man in front of Mourinho. He said directly that Chelsea ruined the game.

It was not only the old Sir Alex who said so. Those fans and media who openly supported Manchester United also used such a critical tone to evaluate Chelsea's utilitarian style of play on various occasions. They believed that Mourinho brought this utilitarianism to Chelsea and the Premier League.

Some people even said that Mourinho was like an old-fashioned and extremely utilitarian Italian in his bones. He only cared about the final result of the game.

He ignored many things on the field, just like Porto last season. He always fought hard to the end in the confrontation with strong teams.

Then rely on the sudden performance of the frontcourt players to determine the final result. Just like this game between him and Manchester United, it relied on Lin Yi's burst in the frontcourt. Throughout the game, Chelsea always On the defensive, even if this is at their Stamford Bridge stadium.

"Chelsea won the game in the ugliest way, but perhaps only he knows whether this victory can meet Abramovich's requirements."

Those media who opposed Chelsea's extremely utilitarian style of play turned their criticism on the Russian owner of Chelsea.

But Abramovich won't say anything now. After all, he has promised Mourinho not to interfere in the game, and there is nothing wrong with winning the game. As for the process, maybe no one will be able to remember everything that happened here in a month. You will only see where Chelsea are in the table.

It’s Mourinho’s philosophy that we want results rather than process. From the moment he took charge of Stamford Bridge, Mourinho has already put his own stamp on the team, but Manchester United was the first unlucky team. They used their own personal experience to bear witness to Chelsea's new life.

Mourinho seemed very calm about the criticism from these people, especially when Ferguson was obviously targeting him, he made no attempt to hide it at all.

"I'm here to win. If my team had 20 shots in the game but lost the game, I would be very disappointed."

When Mourinho said this, he glanced at Ferguson intentionally or unintentionally. He seemed to be using this sentence to insinuate that Manchester United's front line was weak.

Ferguson probably has a clear mind now. In this season's war of words, it seems that the Portuguese must be counted.

This kid not only has his own way of tactical command, he is also very good at facing questions from the media and responding to opponents' provocations.

It seems that this will be an all-out war between him and Mourinho, but I don't know who will have the last laugh when the season is over.

"Now I only see Chelsea with three league points in the standings. For the rest, I will be actively selectively blind."

"As for those friends who say that my team's playing style is utilitarian, congratulations, you are right. Chelsea's goal is the league championship, and I will always tell the players that I don't need those beautiful but unrealistic statistics. I just need to get what I want every game.”

This is the answer Mourinho left for those reporters. He will not see how those people's faces will change. He just wants to ask for what he needs.

The world is like this. All history is written by the victors. When all this becomes history, no one will study the process.

At the end of this season, the technical statistics table of the Premier League will only say that in the first game of the 2004-05 season, Chelsea won 1:0 at home against Manchester United. There will be nothing on it. Superfluous explanation, and not many people know how Chelsea won.

Three points is enough. As for the merits and demerits, you can say whatever you want. Mourinho and his Chelsea team just want league points.

Mourinho doesn't care about those controversial remarks at all now. Mendes even said on the phone that he was very happy to see newspapers full of reports about Mourinho and Lin Yi, because those media almost always Free publicity for the two of them, and Mendes was pleased with the effect.

Now it is estimated that no one will say that they do not know these beasts and apprentices. What they got from winning Manchester United was three points, but in Mendes's eyes, that is money.

It is not only the heavy financial commitment made by Abramovich, but also the strong attack of Chelsea, which has dragged the Premier League game into chaos in advance.

And Lin Yi and Mourinho are one of the protagonists in the director's troubled times. Mendes may be worried about the popularity of these two guys.

How the outside world views Mourinho and the new Chelsea now has no impact on these beasts of the Blue Army. Aren't many people criticizing their utilitarianism? Then Mourinho will let everyone see how he allows Victory Football to proceed to the end.

A week later, when they once again scored three points at Stamford Bridge, the score on the field was still 1:0. The process was not gorgeous, but it was very accurate.

This time, Lin Yi, who suddenly exerted his strength on the wing, wiped out Birmingham's defensive players on the wing and hit a low ball in the middle of the penalty area. Drogba and Gudjohnsen's double ghosts hit the goal. The shot was fatal, and their tight defense only left Birmingham two shooting opportunities.

After the game, when Mourinho faced the same questioning, he just used the signature pen in his hand to write a number, 6, on a piece of white paper.

"This is my answer to this question. So far we have played two games, won them all, scored six points successfully, and can still keep the goal from being scored by the opponent. This is enough. As for those tactical masters How I design the formation for my team really has nothing to do with me.”

Unbridled irony, Mourinho doesn't care about other people's thoughts. Likewise, he doesn't care about other people's feelings. Now he just needs continuous wins. Chelsea's steel chariot is starting with a rumble, and Mourinho Neo will use this efficiency to make his opponents despair and start his journey of conquest.

I just don’t know if the Premier League powerhouses have already felt the trembling from the bottom of their hearts. . .

(Howard is still a little naive in front of O’Neal. The Shark was not at an advantage due to too many fouls, but he was still hit by a three-pointer by the old Shark in the fourth quarter. This... In terms of experience, O’Neal is indeed much more experienced than Howard...)
