Midfielder

Mourinho is brewing a counterattack, but they must endure the nagging from the outside world in the week before the next game.

One week is enough for those reporters to fill their mouths in newspapers and magazines. For a team with no background like Chelsea, they don't have to save any face, and the relationship between Kenyon and them is not good in the first place. This What if you don't beat up the drowned dog? What are you waiting for?

Anyway, they rely on news like this to attract readers to watch, so it doesn't matter whether they don't like Chelsea or not, sales determine everything.

As long as someone likes to see them targeting Chelsea, they will be happy to keep writing until they catch the next topic.

After getting tired of watching the infighting between Manchester United and Arsenal, many people want to see news about Chelsea. After all, it is new.

Faced with such a situation, Mourinho could only say that it didn't matter, because his team did not lose, but in the eyes of those boring people, they seemed to be on the verge of being relegated. What else can you say? ? explain? Argument? Even Brito was tired of this drama.

Rather than spending energy arguing with those reporters, it is better to take this time to figure out how to adjust the team's personnel mix when playing.

No one really has this kind of free time to grind his teeth with a group of keyboard players. Now Mourinho is even reluctant to attend the post-match press conference, because it is really boring there, and there are always people repeating the same questions. They always want to hear Mourinho say he is under a lot of pressure.

As long as they hear the slightest hint of trouble from Mourinho's mouth, the reporters' brains will quickly activate and start to have unlimited reverie.

But Mourinho doesn't feel any pressure at all, because his team is still in second place in the league standings, not about to be relegated.

Although there is still a two-point gap with Arsenal, which ranks first in the league, this is not a problem. After all, this season's schedule is still very long.

Moreover, Chelsea's top management is very quiet at this time. Abramovich is obviously using this method to consolidate Mourinho's authority in disguise.

"The coach has the right to decide anything in the team." This is what Abramovich said in an interview with the media. It can be seen that the Russian tycoon has nothing against Mourinho's achievements. Satisfied, so he stood firmly on Mourinho's side.

Compared with Ranieri, it is obvious that Mourinho is more suitable for Abramovich's appetite. Of course, it is the coaching performance, not some bad habits.

Since even the boss is so supportive of the Portuguese, the senior managers of Chelsea Club will not stand against Abramovich.

And Kenyon will never take the initiative to find trouble for Mourinho. On the contrary, this guy is very protective of him, because he knows very well that at least most of the criticism Mourinho encounters is directed at himself. Come, and Mourinho is just a shield for Kenyon.

The most important thing is that Mourinho's performance in the first six rounds has indeed exceeded the expectations of Chelsea club executives. They have no reason not to support him.

Especially Abramovich, this guy's ideas are the premise that determines everything. When Mourinho and Chelsea are performing stably, he will never disrupt them.

Although such a high-level statement cannot bring Chelsea three points, the stability of this kind of management is indeed very important to Mourinho.

The boss is willing to spend money and doesn't talk so much nonsense. This is the greatest support for the head coach. Only internal stability can bring better results.

Now Mourinho must focus on rectifying the team's internal affairs. If there are any unfavorable voices from the top, it will be quite bad.

With the support of the club management behind him, the first thing Mourinho did was to banish the unfortunate Kežman to the reserve team.

When Kežman learned the news, he acted very unwisely. This guy took the initiative to break the news about the team in front of the media reporters.

He complained to the media that it was Mourinho's bias that prevented him from being the main player, and the wasted opportunities were also caused by unsustainable games.

Mourinho also reacted quickly to the Serbian black man's revelations. His banishment was certain, and he also told Kenyon that this guy can get out, "As long as there is still one person on the forward line who can continue to play football." , then this guy won’t want to come back from the reserve team.”

This is basically a death sentence for Kežman, because Mourinho almost told his agent that you can find another way out, no mercy.

Kežman didn't care about the consequences even though they were already at odds with each other. He angrily accused Mourinho of covering up Lin Yi.

"When a forward cannot get support from the midfield, don't expect to score goals, and don't just find a scapegoat in the team! The midfielder should be responsible!"

But this guy's roar didn't get any sympathy from the Chelsea team at all, and even the Chelsea fans ignored him.

The only people who are interested in this guy's remarks may be the media reporters. Only the drama of internal strife in a big football club can have enough sales.

But Mourinho didn't have time to deal with those people's entanglement. In this conflict between Lin Yi and Kezman, he completely stood on the side of his apprentice, but this was not to protect his shortcomings, because the Serbian black man was not popular in the team at all, otherwise no one would have said a word for him.

"Internal strife? Sorry, I think you misunderstood. This is not an internal strife at all, but I think Kezman is not suitable for Chelsea."

Mourinho has put the final conclusion on this matter. Now Kezman's only way out is to seek a transfer and leave during the winter break.

If this guy had a personal grudge with Lin Yi, it would be fine, but he was obviously confused. This time he actually pointed the finger at Mourinho.

Even if he threw away the 8 million euro transfer fee, Kenyon would not let this guy become a cancer of the team. Kezman was definitely gone during the winter break.

There are only two teams in the Premier League that remain unbeaten, including Chelsea, but many people are selectively blind to such results.

They can't see that Chelsea is now five points ahead of Manchester United in the standings. They can only see that Chelsea is now two points behind Arsenal.

Manchester United's record of one win, two draws and one loss in the first four games has been ignored by many people. They can only remember that Manchester United defeated Liverpool in the sixth round of the strong dialogue. That is a sign of the Red Devils' recovery. Some people even say that Chelsea may be surpassed by Manchester United if they play two more rounds of games.

In addition, the combination of Ronaldo and Rooney has been praised by these people, and the recent state of Giggs and Scholes has also been described by them as resurrection.

It seems that someone is willing to suppress Chelsea and Mourinho by raising Manchester United. Maybe those Manchester United fans can't accept failure.

Anyway, since they lost the first game, these people have been unhappy when they look at Chelsea. They never think that Manchester United will lose.

But Mourinho doesn't know where those people saw that this would happen. Catch up with a five-point gap in two rounds? Isn't this a dream? I guess even Ferguson himself wouldn't be so hot-headed. At least the old Sir Alex wouldn't be naive to think that Chelsea would suffer two consecutive defeats.

But now those sharp-tongued reporters, when criticizing Chelsea and Mourinho, did not notice a very obvious change in their words. They had unconsciously discussed Mourinho with coaches like Ferguson and Wenger. This was simply too strange.

Because they were denouncing Mourinho's conservative play at Chelsea, but at the same time they compared him with two meritorious coaches.

However, this red battle between Manchester United and Liverpool did create a new high in the Premier League ratings, even more eye-catching than the first match between Chelsea and Manchester United. It can be seen that when the old Sir Alex Ferguson gradually brought Manchester United's total number of championships close to Liverpool, the Red Army wanted to defend its honor.

Before the game, the two teams started a war of words, and the old Sir Alex Ferguson took the initiative to burn the war to the Spaniard Benitez for the first time.

"A head coach who trusts Spanish players too much will find it difficult to survive in the Premier League. I have forgotten who was the last Spanish player who succeeded in England? Has there ever been one? I hope there is nothing wrong with my memory." Ferguson's sarcasm has always been so spicy.

It is difficult for a foreigner like Benítez who can't even speak English well to gain any advantage in such verbal confrontation, let alone counterattack.

He is more looking forward to finding opportunities to counterattack on the field, especially in such a head-on confrontation. It is definitely the best choice for Liverpool now to step on Manchester United when it is at a low point. Benítez also hopes to make a name for himself on Ferguson like Mourinho did.

But he still underestimated the toughness of Ferguson's nerves. The most important thing he ignored was that this game was at Old Trafford.

The last time the Red Army won here was a few years ago. The Red Devils at Old Trafford were not so easy to deal with. The facts also proved this. Manchester United only took fifteen minutes to knock on the door guarded by Dudek, and Ronaldo's cross was hit hard by Van Nistelrooy.

And before that, Ronaldo received Giggs's pass in the middle and kicked a low arc ball of about 20 meters, bypassing goalkeeper Dudek, but unfortunately hit the post. This guy is really unlucky. This is the third time he hit the post in the six games he has participated in this season.

However, the missed goal did not make Ronaldo silent. His continuous breakthroughs on the right side did cause a lot of trouble for Liverpool. His speed impact plus the slippery field on rainy days made Liverpool's defense on the right side completely collapse after persisting for more than ten minutes.

Although Liverpool equalized the score at the beginning of the second half, it was not the killing intention created by Cisse or Gerrard, but the unlucky O'Shea tragically staged an own goal on the wall, but such a goal aroused the fierceness of the Red Devils, and they then began to press forward frantically.

Van Nistelrooy, Rooney, Ronaldo, Giggs, Scholes, when these guys collectively exploded, you must not expect to be able to defend the goal.

Benítez paid a heavy price for his conservative defense. In the second half, Lukaku, who replaced Van Nistelrooy as center forward, became the spearhead who scored again.

Giggs and Ronaldo swapped positions, tearing open the Reds' defense. A light through ball allowed Rooney to face Dudek directly. Even though Dudek threw Rooney sideways, he could not stop the ball from rolling into the goal from his armpit. Ferguson finally did not pay for his youth policy this time.

2:1, although this score is nothing compared to Arsenal's recent crazy scoring of four or five goals, the victory in this game did allow Ferguson to temporarily get out of the embarrassing quagmire, and he is now very confident to deal with the difficult questions from reporters.

However, Benítez was not so lucky. After losing the game against Manchester United, his coaching ability began to be questioned by Reds fans, especially his conservative tactics in away games, which were criticized by many people. The Reds have never been so timid, especially when facing Manchester United.

But Benítez did not gain nothing. At least Alonso, who was introduced under his insistence, performed well in this game. A super long-range lob almost went into the goal of Manchester United. Now, those who doubted the effect of this transfer can finally shut up and stop talking.

There are gains and losses, a not-too-bad result. After all, this is an away game. When he plays against Manchester United at home, he still has a chance to make a comeback.

Many people compared Ronaldo's recent hot state with Lin Yi at this time. They believed that after a season of tempering, Ronaldo had gradually adapted to the rhythm of the Premier League, and the baptism of the European Championships made him mature, but Lin Yi did not wait for such recognition.

Flashy, this is what many people think of him. Although this kid's skills are pleasing to the eye, his practicality is always questioned.

Just like the two games against Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur, the little guy did not turn his gorgeous skills into three points.

Six rounds without conceding a goal is not something that any team can do. Now it has become a gamble to see who can score against Chelsea.

Even the famous bookmakers in England have already opened the odds. When will Chelsea face its first defeat and when will it face its first goal? These unpopular bets have now become the topic of conversation for many people after dinner, and everyone is guessing.

However, the goalless draw and the critics' arguments against Chelsea did not distract them. Now the two draws are the most important problems they need to solve.

A draw is not terrible. Manchester United had two draws and one loss in the first three games, so two draws are actually nothing for this long season.

It's just that Chelsea lost the opportunity to tie Arsenal's league points. It's not a big problem, but two consecutive draws make people feel a little regretful.

Originally, Chelsea had the possibility of winning these two games, but due to various reasons, they finally missed the three points.

Chelsea failed to draw in two consecutive games, which made the whole team hold their breath, especially when the outside world was full of hostility towards them.

If you are surrounded by enemies, your team will abandon many problems and stand on a united front.

This resilience is very obvious in Chelsea. In the consecutive training sessions after being tied by Tottenham, those guys performed very hard, especially Drogba, who was unable to play in two games due to injury. However, the one who was crazier than him was probably the black-haired boy.

Consecutive draws are really depressing for others, but for Lin Yi, it is a kind of failure. This kid is simply holding back a ball of fire in his heart.

Especially when those football commentators saw Lin Yi being knocked to the ground by Tottenham players, they did not blame the opponent's rough fouls, but commented on Lin Yi's physical condition. It is indeed not suitable for the strong confrontation in the Premier League. His small body can't withstand the collision of opponents.

Although Lin Yi was the best performing player among Chelsea's offensive players in that game, all explanations were futile in the face of a draw.

No win means no win. Is it useful to explain more? Don't forget your worth! This is the headline written by a reporter from The Sun in his column.

Yes, don't forget your price. Don't forget that you spent more than 30 million euros to transfer to the top player. You have no reason to perform poorly. If the team cannot win, then you are the culprit. The title of the most expensive player in the Premier League is not so easy to bear. It is quite heavy.

Lin Yi is not a player like Zidane who became the most expensive player in the world after he became successful. He has become famous just by winning the Champions League.

Compared with Zidane, who has almost won all the heavyweight championships, it is obvious that Lin Yi will suffer a lot. In the case of the same tens of millions of dollars, there will be fewer people criticizing Zidane, but it is obvious that many people are a little uncomfortable with Lin Yi's high price.

Just like what the bald man Bei from Liverpool said, Zidane has the World Cup and European Championships, but he has to be on par with a little guy.

It is indeed difficult for a little guy who is only 17 years old to withstand such pressure. After all, psychologically, Lin Yi is not very mature.

But when the boy encountered this kind of problem, he never complained to anyone, and he didn't even fight back in front of the reporters.

When Lin Yi started to be silent, it was either because he was in a very low mood or he was like a volcano, waiting to erupt.

Like Mourinho, he was waiting for a chance to fight back. If a dormant volcano erupted, it would be very scary. . .

(Raptors... you are such a miserable team... you let the Magic win by 40 points... the Rockets went crazy again... and were reversed again, alas, you guys just degenerate like this... I really can't bear it...)
