Chelsea can be said to have made history by lifting the league championship trophy and winning the first double crown in the team's 100-year history, but for Mourinho, this is just the beginning. He is not satisfied with just winning the double crown.

You can say that this guy is ignorant, but you can't deny that this Portuguese man is really ambitious.

Mourinho is not only ambitious, but his actions are often much ahead of others. Before this season is completely over, he has begun to consider the team's personnel adjustments and tactical arrangements in the next season.

After the club retained Makelele with a new contract, Chelsea will also start the summer personnel adjustment work.

Kezman is destined to leave, Smerkin will not stay either, and even Huth may not be able to stay in the team.

No matter how unsuccessful these players are in Chelsea, but based on their personal abilities, as long as they are pushed to the transfer market, there will be a lot of buyers, which can also show how powerful Chelsea is now.

Especially Chelsea's defense line, which can be called the Great Wall of Steel. Even Huth, who can enter the German national team's reserve list, can't play the main role. Who can't envy the depth of the bench?

Terry, Carvalho, Gallas, Ferreira, Bridge, Parker, such a defense line, there is nothing to be picky about. From fame to usage, Chelsea's defense line can be ranked in the whole of Europe.

Although Chelsea's current defensive lineup is indeed very strong, Mourinho has no intention of stopping the pace of buying players, especially the central defender position, which must be strengthened. Terry and Carvalho both need substitutes.

After all, those two guys are not iron men. It is a miracle that they can keep without too much injury this season, but next season they are likely to fight on four fronts. Don't forget that they are still the main players of their respective national teams.

Therefore, Mourinho now has to consider that his defense line needs to strengthen two substitutes, and it is best to be in the central defender position, but it doesn't matter if it is a versatile player, after all, Gallas can also play as a central defender.

As for Chelsea's defense, this season can be called perfect, especially in the Premier League, the goal conceded throughout the season was controlled at eleven, which has broken Liverpool's record of sixteen goals conceded in the 78-79 season.

Chelsea is now the team with the fewest goals conceded and the most successful defense in a single season in the history of the English Premier League.

There is no other, only one, no matter how much Liverpool is dissatisfied now, but their record has indeed been broken.

It's just that those old fans who are still reminiscing about the glorious era of Liverpool will be a little sad, not only because the team's long-forgotten record has been broken, but more importantly, Chelsea has stepped on their heads again.

After being conquered by the opponent at Anfield, Liverpool people have regarded Chelsea as their mortal enemy.

If Manchester United and Arsenal are the culprits who plundered Liverpool's championship in the past decade, then from now on, Chelsea has taken over the tasks of the former two and has become the new generation of Liverpool's victim, and a big victim.

What makes the hatred worse is that when Chelsea is about to clean up its own players, it never forgets to seduce Gerrard.

As for whether he can successfully introduce Gerrard next season, Mourinho is not particularly concerned. Although he needs to find a suitable successor or midfield partner for Makelele, Gerrard is not indispensable.

The soul of Liverpool is indeed good at attacking and defending, but there are not many positions in Chelsea's current system that can make room for him, especially the cooperation between Gerrard and Lampard in the England national team is not so successful.

In the England national team, there is even a saying that the two D's cannot coexist, and it can be said that there is only one D and no D's.

Mourinho does not believe that Lampard and Gerrard are mutually exclusive, but he also knows that these two guys do have certain similarities in some offensive habits and tactical choices.

To use them well at the same time is really a technical job, but for a future that has not yet been determined, Mourinho has no time to think about it now. What he needs to consider more is the adjustment within the team now.

Compared with those who are to be purged, who Chelsea can keep is the most critical issue. Mourinho is not worried that Chelsea will be like Porto, and immediately disperse after winning the treble.

With Chelsea's financial resources and the club's intention to win more championships, there will not be much change at least in the next few years. Abramovich's pursuit of championships will definitely continue until he is satisfied.

As long as the Russian tycoon is still investing, Chelsea does not have to worry about the problem of funds and players leaving.

Unless a player really does not want to stay on the bench and wants to go out and try his luck, otherwise, with Chelsea's conditions for retaining players, it is estimated that only teams like Real Madrid can poach people from Chelsea.

However, the kid that Real Madrid specifically asked to poach has never succeeded, but Florentino does not seem to give up. He has repeatedly found Mendes and wants to get some accurate information from him.

But Mendes advised the old man to give up. There was no possibility of Lin Yi transferring. Even if Real Madrid offered a sky-high price, Chelsea club might not let him go, not to mention that Lin Yi himself did not want to leave.

But now that the old man, who has been troubled by club members and those opponents, just wants to make a big deal as soon as possible. This guy even began to consider whether to poach the wing duo Robben and Duff from Chelsea.

Although the attraction of the Bernabeu is great enough, Robben and Duff have been tempted, but looking at the current league results of Real Madrid and the rising posture of Chelsea, Stamford Bridge is obviously more attractive.

Moreover, the Bernabeu is still full of stars. Will Robben and Duff, who are firmly in the starting position at Chelsea, really go to Real Madrid to play as substitutes? It is estimated that even if the salary given by the old man is high enough, this is difficult to achieve.

Mourinho is not so worried about his players being poached by others. He is now more concerned about how to continue to strengthen the team's lineup, especially the forward line. He is also prepared to continue to ask Kenyon to buy people.

After all, only Drogba is paired with Gudjohnsen. Such a forward combination seems a bit shabby.

Although Drogba and Henry share the top spot in the scorer list this season, in some games, once the striker fails, Lampard and Lin Yi often have to come in from the back to put pressure on the opponent's defenders.

Moreover, this single striker tactic is indeed too dependent on Drogba's header and height advantage. Mourinho, who always likes to use two strikers to open the way, is also considering whether to place a helper next to this African elephant.

Although Lampard can be a qualified invisible striker, Mourinho hopes that he can get closer to the midfield to help Lin Yi stabilize the middle. At this time, a striker who can break through individually and have a sense of cooperation is very important, especially in counterattacks. In addition to the two wingers, there can be a stable receiving point in the middle.

However, Mourinho is a little scratching his head about who will be the striker. After all, there are not many strikers who meet his conditions, but now Mourinho is ready to make some trouble for AC Milan's backyard.

Crespo, who was loaned from Chelsea this season, has been performing very well. Even many Italian media said that the Argentine has revived in AC Milan, and his ability to score goals at critical moments has once again shone in the Apennines.

Mourinho is ready to improve this situation where the flowers bloom inside the wall but the fragrance is outside the wall. He recently publicly announced in front of the media that Crespo's ownership still belongs to Chelsea, and he is considering recalling the Argentine in the summer.

This is not a joke, but something that may really happen. Kenyon has rejected AC Milan's request to continue intercepting. Anyway, AC Milan is either ready to buy Crespo with a lot of money or wait to let him go.

Although Mourinho does not necessarily intend to really reuse Crespo, at this critical moment, this is also a small means to disrupt the opponent's morale, not to mention that the Argentine's performance in Serie A this season is indeed very eye-catching.

It is not an excessive thing to blackmail the other party for a suitable transfer fee at this time. Perhaps this can only blame AC Milan for why they did not dare to make up their minds to buy out all the ownership of Crespo directly.

You know, the price Chelsea marked for Crespo at that time was only 8 million euros. Compared with the current price, if AC Milan had bought out Crespo at that time, it would have been a great bargain this season.

But after a season of training by Ancelotti, the Argentine not only recovered in form, but also in value. Now Kenyon has directly asked for 15 million euros in public sale, and he is not willing to bargain.

It is estimated that when Galliani looks at Kenyon now, he is definitely attracted to him, but he has no choice. If it is based on this value, then Crespo's fate with AC Milan may end at the end of the season.

AC Milan Club is no longer the Rossoneri. After Berlusconi devoted himself to political struggles and women, his financial support and generosity to AC Milan have begun to be greatly reduced.

Not to mention the more than 10 million euros to buy out Crespo, now they even have to spend some effort to keep the main players in their team, otherwise, Galliani would not have a headache because of the renewal of Shevchenko.

But Mourinho doesn't care about the troubles of other clubs. Anyway, he is now talking without any pain.

Although Chelsea has won so many honors this season, Mourinho and Lin Yi seem to have never been accepted by the mainstream of England. Maybe in the eyes of those old antiques, these two guys are very different.

Lin Yi lost helplessly in the competition with Rooney for the best newcomer. After him, Mourinho also tasted the taste of failure. In the title of the best coach of the year selected by the English Coaches Association, he also lost to Moyes, who led Everton to successfully enter the Champions League qualifiers. This is also Mourinho's second miss of the best coach. When he was in Porto, although he brought back the treble for the team, he did not get this title.

"It seems that you are as unlucky as me. The title of the best seems to never be ours." Lin Yi said to Mourinho beside him while watching Moyes receiving the award on TV.

"It doesn't matter. It's not the first time this happens. Since we don't have the best, let's win the treble again in Istanbul." Mourinho seemed very single, but his words were not so low-key. It doesn't matter if we lost the best rookie and best coach. We can make up for the pain with the treble.

This is indeed a pair of arrogant master and apprentice. . .
