Chapter 430

"Crazy winning streak, crazy Chelsea." This is the headline given by those newspapers after Chelsea won consecutive league and Champions League wins. Chelsea team has indeed shown an extremely crazy competitive state. It seems that no matter who is now, Nothing can stop their progress.

Gerrard even felt a little lucky for his transfer in an interview, "If I hadn't come here, I might not have been able to enjoy such a crazy experience at all, ten consecutive league wins and four consecutive Champions League wins. Maybe That's why I chose to sign for Chelsea."

Yes, maybe this is the reason why those players who pursue performance choose Chelsea, because it can bring them the success they want most, and here they can enjoy the pleasure of victory, but they probably didn’t even expect it. , Chelsea will have such a perfect start to this season.

Mourinho seems to have planned to be the vanguard in all fields from the beginning. He will crazily snatch every victory until those competitors begin to despair. From the first game of the league, this guy It requires every team member to risk their lives and not miss any game.

"We need to win. This season is a new beginning for Chelsea. We are no longer the supporting roles chasing each other behind others. Now we have to adapt to the position of director, and then start to accept those chasing behind us. , all kinds of pressure exerted on us.”

Mourinho obviously knows very well what kind of positioning Chelsea needs. Whether it is the Premier League or the Champions League, Chelsea will face great pressure, and last season's Triple Crown result is already a benchmark, even for the club He didn't have any assignments, but he also wanted to defend his title.

If you don’t advance, you will retreat. This is the cruelty of professional football. No matter how great you were last season, if your performance declines a little bit this season, then you are a loser, and those fans and critics will not care about you. Have they played well enough, they just need to see the championship.

Moreover, after Chelsea bought a large number of players, I am afraid that no one from the club's senior management to ordinary fans will accept a failed season. Chelsea needs to at least defend the title in two lines. Although it is very difficult to continue to win the Champions League, but Mourinho also has the idea of ​​challenging the record.

Just because no one has successfully won the title after restructuring does not mean that no one can do it. At least Mourinho does not believe this evil. Don’t forget, someone once said that Porto did not have the strength to win the championship, but the final result Having said it all, this Portuguese just likes to challenge high difficulties.

You can say that he is taking risks, but no one can deny that this guy is very lucky. It seems that every time he is ready to take risks, he will get a good result. Such ruthless plundering of points in the early stages of the league not only allowed Chelsea to win The dominance in the standings makes the pursuers a little desperate.

Because of Chelsea's crazy performance, many teams began to regard them as a thorn in their side, and many kinds of public opinion attacks began to attack Mourinho's team unscrupulously, but this guy didn't seem to care about this at all. He actually enjoyed the pressure from public opinion.

"I don't care what other people think of Chelsea morally. All I care about is that we're not treated like other clubs. Some are seen as devils and some are seen as angels. I don't think it's difficult for us to see that we're going to be treated To the extent that they are regarded as devils, I don’t think Mr. Wenger and Mr. Dane are beautiful enough to be regarded as angels.” Mourinho now has a lot of time and even has the time to counter those criticisms.

Making enemies on all sides and being powerful on all sides, perhaps this description can more accurately express the situation of the Chelsea team. They don't care who will publicly accuse themselves. Instead, they will use this accusation and abuse as a motivation to move forward. For example, Lin That kid will use actions to fight back.

However, after several experiments, many teams have become smarter, because they found that if they want to hit Mourinho and Lin Yi, the best way is not to anger them before the game, otherwise, in the end, You must be the one who is unlucky, especially if you don't anger that little lunatic Lin Yi.

"They seem to have discovered this secret." Mourinho and Brito, these two beasts, always become a little melancholy and nostalgic every time they see that Lin Yi's remarks are no longer criticized in the newspapers. , how they hoped that someone could continue to stir up Lin Yi's crazy state.

But even if no one deliberately provokes Lin Yi now, that kid is crazy enough. In the ten rounds of the league, this kid has already completed double-digit assists. If he continues at this momentum, he may not end this season. At that time, his assists may really surpass the top scorer list.

Well, using the number of assists to despise those shooters. This cruel situation has probably never happened in the history of the Premier League. I really don’t know how those commentators who are accustomed to using data to evaluate players will think about it when the season is over. This little lunatic can only be described as a monster.

"Records have to be written by someone. This kid has contributed to the Premier League. However, in the years to come, few people may break his record. My God, this kid has now become the leader of all Premier League players." It’s a nightmare for the team,” Brito could only say.

But one thing is undeniable. Now Lin Yi's limelight in the Premier League has overshadowed those big names in the past. Although this kid is not the top salary in the Premier League now, even Kenyon said that the club wants him most now. What he has to do is tie Lin Yi to Chelsea with a long-term contract.

Even if the salary they have to pay is two or three times more than the original contract, they will not hesitate. However, Mendes, that cunning fox, will not be fooled at this time. He knows the value of Lin Yi. A long-term contract looks very attractive now, but that does not represent Lin Yi's worth.

"That kid has the opportunity to break all football transfer records, including salary. His value will not be restricted by long-term meal tickets." Mendes is now fully confident in making Lin Yi a player in the Premier League. The king of records, he wants to use this kind of operation to make Lin Yi's value increase indefinitely.

The ten-game winning streak is a big blow to chasers like Arsenal and Manchester United. After all, not many teams can make themselves mentally strong to an abnormal level. You know, even if they are ranked No. 1 Both Manchester United are already five points behind Chelsea.

And this gap has obviously affected Manchester United's personnel adjustment plan. Ferguson can't even rotate according to his own ideas. He doesn't dare to slack off in the league and must send all the main players into battle in every game. Try not to lose any points easily.

This also affected Manchester United's performance in the Champions League. Originally, his team was mostly made up of veterans. I think Scholes and Giggs have passed the peak of their physical fitness and they have to be competent in this kind of two-line combat. , it is indeed a bit difficult, not to mention they have to play for ninety minutes in every game.

In the four Champions League group matches that have been played, Manchester United has only achieved one win, two draws and one loss. Not only did they draw with Lille and Villarreal in the first two rounds, they only had 2: 1. Winning Benfica could save them some face, but then they lost embarrassingly.

The 0:1 away loss to Lille was an absolute disaster. The pressure on Sir Alex Ferguson is indeed the greatest since he took office. If they cannot get six points in the next two group matches, they will probably be in the group. After the game, Manchester United has to go back to the league in despair to work hard.

However, even if they win two games in a row, they are likely to lose the first place in the group. This will make them very depressed to encounter the top spot of a certain group in the knockout stage. Maybe starting from the knockout stage, Manchester United Once again, we have to face the helpless situation of going head-to-head with those traditional wealthy families.

"The Red Devils have lost their initiative under the pressure of Chelsea's chariot. I really don't know if they can hold on to their final position." This is the comment given by Sky TV when evaluating Manchester United's recent performance. Although it doesn't sound good, this is indeed the current situation facing Manchester United.

This is also the effect Mourinho needs to achieve. He does not want his competitors to adjust their status and personnel step by step according to their own plans. Chelsea has enough manpower to complete multi-line operations. In the early stages of the league, they must use this The advantage puts more pressure on the opponent.

"From the beginning, those people must be forced to follow Chelsea to speed up. They want to score points steadily, which is impossible. We must lead them by the nose, drain the potential of competitors, and let them All spare tires must be put out at the beginning of the league.”

Mourinho is bullying people, but there is nothing you can do about it, because this guy has enough cards in his hand to play, and he is fully capable of disrupting the plans of all opponents, unless those guys have given up competing for the championship in the league attempt, otherwise, they can only follow passively.

Such a crazy plan really makes many teams uncomfortable, especially in the early stages of the league, when many teams are adjusting their lineups, Chelsea has already begun to accelerate. If they don’t want to be left too far behind, all competition Everyone has to work hard to keep up with its pace.

However, this kind of impact has really brought down many teams. For example, Liverpool, which has been in a sluggish state last season, has been left outside the tenth place in the early stages of the league when the entire team has begun to rebuild. Now their mission may have changed from winning the championship to relegation.

I really don’t know if those American owners will feel sorry for the money they spent during the transfer period. After all, this poor performance has caused Liverpool’s value to fall to a historical bottom. They originally expected to make a fortune from the club, but now it seems This wish can only be a luxury.

The chaos that Chelsea's high-speed start brought to others did not end with the ten-game winning streak, but began to get even crazier. In the subsequent eleventh round of the league, Chelsea once again extended the winning streak to 30 at Stamford Bridge. Eleven games, but this game is not easy.

4:2. It has been a long time since Chelsea fans saw a Premier League team score two goals at Stamford Bridge, and Blackburn was able to draw with Chelsea for most of the first half. This is a rare scene for Chelsea, which has been in the limelight recently.

Less than 20 minutes into the game, Chelsea already took a 2-0 lead thanks to goals from Lampard and Drogba, but in the next 25 minutes, their steel defense was even scored by Blackburn. Two goals, and at the end of the first half, the score on the field had become 2-2.

Although Chelsea once again overtook the score in the second half thanks to Lin Yi's perfect organization in the midfield, looking at Mourinho's unhappy expression, everyone knew that the course of this game was not what the Portuguese expected. Blackburn kicked It was ugly to watch, but they did cause problems for Chelsea.

"From 2-0 to 2-2, this time is a test of the team's willpower," Mourinho said in an interview after the game. "Normally, a team Teams tend to be disappointed by this, lose confidence, and then change the lineup to try to adjust, but I told the players that it would be stupid for me to make substitutions at this time. If we change anything, we would be stupid. We just If we continue to play the way we did in the first half, we will definitely win the game. In the end, we gave the perfect answer in such a difficult situation.”

Mourinho's so-called difficulties are not simply talking about it. Just look at the technical statistics. Blackburn committed 33 fouls in the whole game and received a total of 7 yellow cards. You can imagine these guys. Lin Yi and Lampard's ankles were also injured.

"Blackburn are still the same as last season. When playing against us, their feet will just fly towards our players without any scruples. They think that in this way they can make Chelsea mess up. , and then lost the game, and it proved once again that they were wrong.”

Although it is not a long-standing grudge, once Blackburn and Chelsea met, those guys were indeed used to using such a barbaric style of play to limit Chelsea's performance, but this time their ferocity only gained them half. After a draw, Chelsea finally won the game.

It’s just that the cost of winning the game in this way is a bit high. Although the injuries of Lampard and Lin Yi are not serious, they must take a temporary truce to facilitate their recovery. The only thing to be thankful for is that Chelsea’s subsequent game with Eindhoven In the group stage, they don't have to chase a victory.

The advantage accumulated in the early stage has been unshakable. No one can take away their first place in the group. Mourinho also has the intention to change the substitute lineup for this game, but such a decision will definitely make many people unhappy. After all, this Large-scale rotation will definitely affect the final quality of the game.

UEFA definitely doesn't want to see any useless games in the Champions League, and the other two teams in the same group don't want to see PSV have an easy chance of winning. People like Betis still have a chance to fight. As the second-placed team in the group, they don’t want to see Chelsea let loose in the last game.

It's just that Mourinho has never been the kind of person who cares about other people's feelings. As long as it is beneficial to the team, he will do it without hesitation. As for how others see him, he doesn't care. He only needs to be responsible to the players and the club, others? To hell with that.

Compared with the crazy celebrations of the fans after Chelsea won 11 consecutive victories, Manchester United fans will definitely be very depressed, although Ronaldo won the 1,000th Premier League goal for Manchester United in this round of the league. goals, but the Red Devils failed to win a single away game.

If it was a draw, maybe the fans of Manchester United would not be so depressed. I guess no one could have imagined that Manchester United would be defeated by a relegation team like Middlesbrough, and the defeat this time was very tragic. It was Manchester United's first away defeat this season, but the 4:1 score was too miserable.

I really don’t know how many Manchester United fans are still rubbing their eyes after the game. They really can’t believe this is true, bloodbath! It was a naked bloodbath, but unfortunately, it was not Manchester United's bloodbath, but Middlesbrough's fierce attack at home that trampled the Red Devils under their feet.

It is estimated that the record of becoming the first club to score 1,000 goals in the Premier League has become dispensable. Facing a team that is hovering near the relegation circle, it can lose so miserably. Many people understand that, This is Chelsea's continuous victory, which puts too much pressure on Manchester United.

They had to attack hard in order to win, and Middlesbrough's counterattack, instigated by Mendieta, was so sharp that it was depressing. Even Ferguson himself admitted that it was Manchester United that wanted to eat Middlesbrough in one go. Giving the opponent plenty of opportunities to counterattack, they really lost and had nothing to say.

It is not only Ferguson who is equally depressed, but also the old guy Wenger. Although he did not encounter snipers in the Champions League group stage, in the Premier League, they have to face crazy interceptions from London teams every season. The previous round was no exception. They failed to overcome Tottenham's hurdle in the away game.

Tottenham were stunned to steal a point from Arsenal at the cost of one red card and five yellow cards, continuing to embarrass Wenger's team and continue their winless record in away games. After this game , Everton has calmly surpassed Arsenal and climbed to the third place in the standings.

Eight points, now Manchester United can only look up and watch Chelsea disappear. Those guys seem to never stop winning. Maybe they have the ambition to create the longest consecutive streak in the Premier League. winning record, but this has nothing to do with Manchester United and Arsenal. Compared with Chelsea's crazy victory, maybe Manchester United and Arsenal need to find another breakthrough. This sad reality is indeed very desperate.

But just like what the outside world said about Mourinho, "This is a guy who is never quiet. He always becomes the focus of media attention many times. You can say that he is protecting himself." Player, but this guy is also using this method to make enemies everywhere.”

Mourinho, who had been idle in the war of words for a long time, found another opponent this time, but this time when the war started, it did make many people feel a ferocious situation. . .

(Argentina was eliminated. It seems that Tevez really had a problem with Batista. He succeeded in undercover at the critical moment. It was so cruel. This was used to draw out the salary from the bottom of the cauldron. It was not only fast, but also cruel and accurate! This usually seems to be impossible. Read less about Sun Tzu's Art of War.)
