When Chelsea easily beat Paris Saint-Germain away from home, who was the one who hated the Parisians for giving up resistance early? The fans of Paris?

NO, absolutely not, because before the game started, neither the French media nor the fans of Paris thought their team could win.

It's not that the French were so cowardly in front of Mourinho, but that he himself knew very well what the strength of Paris Saint-Germain was now.

As the French media said, would a team that could remain unbeaten in the Premier League lose to a club that was not even in the top five in Ligue 1?

Especially in the summer transfer market, Paris Saint-Germain suffered heavy losses, and at least half of their team was poached by others.

Forwards like Pauleta were not poached, thanks to the Portuguese's habit of playing for one team and not having much ambition.

Otherwise, Paris Saint-Germain might have to find a way to avoid relegation, but even so, their days in Ligue 1 were not easy.

Since the start of the new season of Ligue 1, they have not even won a single game, and the standings are basically hovering near the relegation zone.

In this case, do you still expect them to beat Chelsea? That's a dream, especially since even Paris Saint-Germain coach Halilojic himself doesn't think his team can beat their opponents at home. The best result may be that God can let them keep a precious draw.

The French media showed their objectivity at this time. They said very bluntly that even a draw requires God's miracle.

But Mourinho's team didn't give the French this opportunity. From the start of the game, the rhythm of the entire field was not under the control of those French.

Except that the three-to-zero score difference made the Parisians a little embarrassed, the process of the game was as expected before the game, without any waves.

However, after losing, the French were not frustrated. After the group draw, they set their goal of promotion on the other two teams.

Anyway, in this group, except for Chelsea, which can be said to be the only one, the strength of the other three teams has declined during the transfer period.

Especially Porto, like Paris Saint-Germain, they also lost half of the team, and they also lost their champion coach.

When a new head coach takes office, he will face a team that has been in ruins. I really don’t know how sad the life of this successor is. Anyway, no matter how well or badly the unlucky guy does, Porto people will not think well of him.

The great predecessor has done the best, can you surpass him? Judging from Porto’s current strength, that is simply impossible.

And the fans who have always been very fanatical, after Porto was tied by CSKA Moscow, the Dragon Stadium was filled with too many dissatisfied boos.

Compared with the boos that Porto encountered at home, the fans of Paris are still kind, at least they did not throw things after the team lost the game.

Losing to Chelsea was just something they expected, so no fans of Paris Saint-Germain would hate this defeat.

But Benítez is different. He doesn't have the broad mind of French fans. For this Spaniard who has few hairs on his head, Paris Saint-Germain only lasted for 60 minutes in the game, which is not good news for him. He hopes that the French will entangle Chelsea tightly.

But the facts are still a little different from what he imagined. The scene he expected did not appear, and Chelsea got enough rest.

Especially in the second half, Mourinho replaced three main players at once, including central defender Terry and midfielder Makelele.

It can be seen that Mourinho has no interest in slaughtering the French. With the victory already decided, he began to think about saving some strength for the weekend league.

Compared with Mourinho's understated victory, Benítez's luck in the Champions League is not so good. Their opponent is also a French team, and it is the runner-up team of last year's Champions League, Monaco. Compared with those Parisians who only resisted for less than 60 minutes.

Monaco, also from France, is obviously much more dignified. They have been fighting Liverpool with unremitting attacks until the end of the game.

Although Benítez won 2:0, he didn't stabilize the victory until more than 80 minutes into the second half.

However, this first round of the Champions League group stage is indeed interesting. Among the top four teams in the Champions League last season, only Chelsea won one game. The remaining three teams either lost or drew. Porto and Deportivo La Coruna both drew. Monaco was the most unlucky because they lost.

This is the sadness of small teams. After a summer of turmoil, the teams that performed the most magically last season have all lost their dark horse halo.

But at this time, Benítez didn't care about the dark horses of last season. He only cared about whether his team could withstand the double games this week.

Liverpool's physical consumption is indeed a bit large, especially those main players, who basically played for 90 minutes without getting enough rest.

At this time, it is obvious who has a stronger bench lineup. Chelsea has at least half of the main lineup and can rotate calmly.

Especially before the game, Mourinho had already made the rotation of personnel adjustments. It can be seen that this guy has been waiting for Liverpool with all his strength.

After all, he is facing Liverpool, which is not a fuel-saving lamp. In front of others, Mourinho can tactically despise the Spanish bald man, but psychologically, Mourinho will not be relaxed in such a game. He does not want to lose to his competitors.

Especially when the opponent has proposed to beat Chelsea away, Mourinho hopes to give the opponent a hard blow on the head.

"Stamford Bridge is also a place you can win if you say so? Do you really think this is a convenience store? What can you do in the Blues' home court? You really think you are God, what? Bald people are great!" Mourinho himself has no good impression of Benitez.

Especially the guy's shiny bald head, under the illumination of the spotlight, always has that kind of particularly dazzling feeling, which makes people very uncomfortable.

In the weekend league, Mourinho doesn't want this big head to shine at Stamford Bridge. He must kill this opponent!

Being able to step on the competitor and win at home is what Mourinho is most looking forward to now, and he needs to turn this idea into reality.

Double games a week is not a problem for Chelsea now, especially when Mourinho sees the injured players starting to recover and return to the team.

The increasingly solid lineup of players makes Mourinho more confident to rotate, and he also has more choices, such as defense or offense.

Chelsea's sudden burst of energy after two consecutive draws did make many league competitors a little melancholy. Ferguson and Wenger thought that the shameless play of those mid- and lower-level teams could cause some trouble for Mourinho, but they didn't expect him to get rid of it so quickly.

Especially these two 3:0 victories have sounded the alarm for many people. Chelsea is not only good at defense, but also good at offense.

In the league on the weekend, Manchester United, who played first, used a real game to give Chelsea's attack a heavy exclamation mark.

Because when facing the same team, Chelsea won heartily, while Manchester United was tied by the opponent when facing Middlesbrough.

And it was still at Old Trafford, and Middlesbrough's forward line was missing Viduka, which made the old Sir Alex very embarrassed after the game.

A week ago, the same opponent, almost the same lineup, but Chelsea could bleed Middlesbrough three times, but Manchester United could not do it.

This is undoubtedly a reminder to Benitez before the big battle between Liverpool and Chelsea. Chelsea is not so easy to mess with now.

In addition to figuring out how to break through the layers of blue barriers, you also have to consider how to defend their extremely precise offense.

Drogba, Lampard, Duff, Joe Cole and others all give Benitez a headache, and don't forget, there is also the black-haired boy.

Although Benítez publicly questioned whether Lin Yi's fancy moves were practical, he knew best who was the most dangerous person in Chelsea.

How could a guy that Ferguson and Wenger had their eyes on be wrong? Unless Benítez was a fool, but the kid hadn't played recently. I don't know if it was because of injury, or if the kid was hiding in the dark, waiting to snipe Liverpool at Stamford Bridge. Anyway, this idea always bothered Benítez.

Benítez really hoped that the kid would not appear at Stamford Bridge in this game. Chelsea's lineup was enough to make him melancholy. If Lin Yi was added, Liverpool would encounter a lot of trouble away from home, which was not the result he wanted to see. He still wanted to win.

Especially winning in front of Mourinho, this is what Benítez wanted to do most. Only by killing such an opponent can he reflect his own value.

When many Liverpool fans secretly envied Chelsea's recent record, Benítez wanted to use his results to prove to others that he was not bad.

He wanted to tell those who looked down on him that he came to Liverpool to help the Reds continue their glory and win the Premier League championship.

When Benítez stood on the sidelines of Stamford Bridge, looking at the blue flags rolling in the stands, he became more determined to do so. . .
