Midfielder

Chapter 432

The war of words between Mourinho, the French Football Federation and Domenech continues, but as time goes by, this confrontation has lost the smoke-filled feeling it had at the beginning.

But it can be seen that Mourinho will definitely cause trouble for the French team next time when recruiting players. Anyway, many clubs have also used the injury delay trick, and maybe he will use it for Domenech.

Anyway, this kind of wrestling battle between the club and the national team will never break out just once.

As long as the World Cup and the league continue to have scheduling conflicts, this confrontation will continue.

It's just that the players are definitely the ones who are angry in the middle. If you don't go back, you will be said to be unpatriotic. If you go back, you will have to bear the risk of injury. Once seriously injured, it will directly become a tragedy.

This kind of unfortunate incident of delaying one's future in the club due to serious injuries in the national team game has not only happened once or twice. Many players have to bear the huge risk of such a two-front battle.

The club would definitely not want to see a player it has paid to support return to the competition with an injury. What if the injury is because of the club, but for the national team? It doesn't care.

However, there is a bit of a rift between Chelsea and the French Football Association this time. At least Mourinho and Domenech have become bitter enemies. Fortunately, that guy is not a club coach. Otherwise, the team he leads will If he meets Chelsea, he will definitely be beaten badly by the Blues.

The aftermath of this war of words has not completely dissipated, and many media have once again focused their attention on Chelsea. In the last game of the Champions League group stage, they failed to maintain their unbeatable record.

Although the record of five wins and one draw is dazzling enough, looking at the group it is in, it seems to many people that it is natural to be able to achieve such results, and it is a damn thing if it cannot be achieved.

But even this undefeated result has been used by many people to speculate on the current state of Chelsea.

Especially when Makelele and Lampard are injured, will Chelsea's results start from being tied by PSV and go downhill, just like Arsenal last season.

We must know that Arsenal also had a very fierce start last season. They attacked strongly on two fronts and performed flawlessly in the first ten rounds. Many people even thought that they would defend the title undefeated.

But the results need no further elaboration. Starting from the loss to Manchester United, Arsenal has been declining.

If they hadn't performed pretty well in the final stages of the league and won several key victories in a row, coupled with the weakness of Manchester United and Everton, maybe these guys would have had to participate in the Champions League play-offs.

Many people believe that Chelsea has delayed its pursuit of victory this time, which is similar to the process of Arsenal last season. It started to lose its sharpness in mid-to-late November.

Chelsea is now being watched closely by everyone. Even if they get a draw after qualifying for the Champions League group stage, many commentators and newspapers will find fault.

Injuries struck players, their tactics remained unchanged, and their early victories made Chelsea a little arrogant. These words began to fill the pages of newspapers, as if they were singing an elegy for Chelsea.

"Can a draw be worth their fuss?" Brito saw this for the first time. Even when they reached the Champions League final last season, they didn't get so much attention.

It's great now. Just a game can attract so many topics, and it can even be said to be criticism.

This is still a tie. If they had lost, the headlines in these newspapers would probably be even more sensational.

The end of Chelsea may happen, and the defending champion may fall from this moment. Anyway, those reporters rely on this kind of thing to attract other people's attention, and they are afraid that the world will not be in chaos.

"There is no way. We are now the target of public criticism. Not only are our competitors paying attention to us, but the media are also eager to find suitable topics from us. Therefore, there will be a lot of harassment."

Mourinho seemed indifferent to the bombardment from the media, although at least half of the newspapers on the table in front of him were filled with various gossips about Chelsea.

But Mourinho has no time to pay attention to reports that deviate from the facts. He himself knows very well the current situation of the team, especially after Chelsea drew with PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League group stage.

That was a game that was not in Mourinho's plan. The draw had no impact on him. The most important thing was that it had no impact on the team, so he rotated most of the main players during the game.

After the national team game, he needs to give the main players enough rest time. Even players like Lin Yi who have not played need time to relieve the fatigue caused by long distance travel.

So before meeting Eindhoven, Mourinho had already told his players that it didn't matter even if he lost this game. There was no need for him to carry the burden of his undefeated record on his back.

"The so-called records are just for admiration. Winning the group stage doesn't mean you can take advantage of the knockout rounds. What we need now is to adjust, not to pursue the so-called records."

Mourinho has no feelings about the so-called records promoted by the outside world. He has never considered playing any tricks to win the championship undefeated. For him, winning more championships is the right thing.

Especially when the main players such as Makelele and Lampard are injured, he needs these main players to adjust their physical condition before facing tough opponents.

Mourinho doesn't mind letting PSV Eindhoven go. Anyway, they have no chance to meet before the semi-finals, and the current state of the Dutch team will not cause trouble for Chelsea.

But Mourinho still has some grudges about the team's failure to defeat the opponent. Although Chelsea almost played with all substitutes, in terms of strength comparison, Chelsea's overall strength is still higher than the opponent.

However, when facing PSV Eindhoven's defense, Chelsea did not play the kind of offense with strong penetration. Whether it was Joe Cole or Duff who pressed from the wing, they failed to provide enough help to Gudjohnsen and Crespo on the striker line, and the offense was not smooth.

Without Lin Yi's ball distribution and light cavalry-like assault in the middle, Chelsea always lacked a bit of aura and became more formulaic when dealing with the last pass.

There were no unexpected passes, nor were there any direct passes. Mourinho saw the team playing mechanical football in a completely rigid manner on the sidelines, and he was always thinking in his heart.

Many people say that Chelsea has become dependent on Lin Yi. If there is no such kid, Chelsea's offense will often become useless, at least that kind of offense will not have any ghostly and agile feeling.

As the head coach of a team, Mourinho does not like to let others evaluate his tactical arrangements, but he also knows that this evaluation is also accurate. Now Chelsea is indeed a little too dependent on Lin Yi's organization. Without him, it is like a person suddenly loses his backbone.

But this so-called dependence is better to be less, after all, Lin Yi cannot avoid injuries. Once he is in trouble, Chelsea must be able to continue to remain competitive.

It's just that Lampard and Gerrard's styles are indeed not as agile as that kid. Mourinho has been scratching his head recently. He really needs to find a player for the team who can also organize offense in the midfield and frontcourt.

But that can only be Lin Yi's backup. That little madman is still the absolute core of Chelsea.

According to Brito, "Which famous guy is not the most dependent person in his team?"

"There is no need to worry about what those reporters say. What's wrong with dependence? Argentina has Maradona dependence, but that guy can lead the team to win the World Cup. The more this kind of dependence, the better!"

However, Mourinho has no intention of publicly responding to the media's speculation in the media. He likes to speak with results, especially Lin Yi. After a break, the desire for battle is so strong that it makes people feel terrified. He seems to be unable to lack the excitement brought by the game.

"The old guy Scolari let me travel on the plane for more than ten hours for free, and then didn't give me a minute of game time. I really don't want to participate in this kind of international competition next time."

Even now, Lin Yi is still depressed why the damn Brazilian old man asked him to go back to participate in the national team's game preparation, but after two games, he didn't let him play. Ronaldo, the beast-like guy, assisted twice and scored two goals in these two games.

Thinking of the boy's face on the plane to England, Lin Yi was depressed.

But Scolari was really unlucky this time. He was also a representative of being shot while lying down. He originally intended to prevent Lin Yi from being injured, but in the end, this kindness became Lin Yi's biggest complaint.

I guess that boy would rather fall on the field than spend so much time on the bench.

But Mourinho was very satisfied with Lin Yi's state of dying without a game, and this was the first time he didn't have such a bad temper with the old man Scolari. At least the stubborn old man knew how to protect the players and didn't behave like Domenech, the idiot.

If Scolari had let Lin Yi play rashly just after recovering from injury, he would probably have been taken with him in this bombardment. However, Scolari avoided Mourinho's fire, but was shot by Lin Yi.

This hungry state is great news for Chelsea, but it is definitely not good news for the next opponents, especially for Chelsea's opponents in the twelfth round of the league.

Maybe Chelsea's draw with Eindhoven gave Souness some hope, or the miracle of their elimination of Chelsea in the FA Cup last season gave this guy the courage to fight at home.

Anyway, when facing Chelsea, Souness did not let Newcastle United arrange any defensive lineup. He even used the double striker combination of Owen and Shearer to prepare for a big fight.

"We will not easily give up when facing any opponent, including Chelsea. They will also see what crazy attacks are at Newcastle United's home!"

Souness's words before the start of the game seemed very decisive. It can be seen that this guy is indeed ready to take advantage of the situation when Chelsea's injuries increase.

Unfortunately, he seemed to have forgotten that the most dangerous kid in Chelsea will still play. Although Newcastle United won once last season, Chelsea also made a harsh statement to teach them a lesson!

Mourinho and Lin Yi are both the kind of guys who keep their promises, so when they met Newcastle United, Mourinho didn't need to do anything to mobilize them, Lin Yi had already launched a fatal attack.

Originally, Drogba was forced to suspend due to accumulated yellow cards, and Lampard and Makelele were injured, which gave Souness the courage to attack, but this guy didn't have time to urge the team to press hard.

Under the leadership of Lin Yi, Chelsea has let the more than 50,000 fans sitting in St. James Park see what a championship-level attack is. The accuracy is quite scary.

Although Drogba's high-point support in the frontcourt is gone, Chelsea's offense is still sharp. After all, a shooter of Crespo's level is no worse than that African elephant.

When facing old rivals Bowyer and Solano, Lin Yi has no scruples. The lack of Lampard's support does not mean that this kid can't create offensive opportunities by himself. His passing is still very sharp.

Even though he didn't play in two games, as long as he stepped on the grass, Lin Yi's ability to control the football would give many opponents a headache, and this time was no exception. The opponent was tortured as usual.

After being sent off last season, Bowyer didn't dare to kick or use dirty hands easily this time, but his and Solano's double-team defense still failed to really keep an eye on Lin Yi.

Less than five minutes after the start of the game, Lin Yi got through the two of them, leaving the two guys with only each other's arms. Souness was almost crazy when he saw this scene.

"Idiot defense!" Souness almost couldn't control his roar on the sidelines.

But his roar only made the substitutes on the sidelines cautious, and it couldn't make the players on the field instantly become Ultraman, and Bowyer and Solano couldn't catch up with Lin Yi immediately.

The two guys were still hugging each other in a mess at this moment, and don't say it, this scene is really gay.

But it's not just Souness who's going crazy. When Newcastle United's goalkeeper Given saw Lin Yi pass the ball to Crespo's feet, he was the most devastated person in the team.

His roar failed to stop his defenders from stopping Lin Yi from passing the ball, nor did he keep a close eye on Crespo.

When Lin Yi came over, the defenders of Newcastle United probably still remembered how this kid wreaked havoc last season. This subconscious fear made them all rush forward.

Maybe these guys thought that this kind of defense could stop Lin Yi's attack, at least to stop the breakthrough.

But Lin Yi didn't plan to play a single-rider breakthrough at all. All he needed was a passing space.

It was just such a simple breakthrough, an inadvertent pass, but it was enough to break through the entire defense of Newcastle United, and Crespo didn't need to adjust after receiving the ball.

He only needed to look up, see Given's position, and then accurately push the ball to the other side, even if it was to complete the task, and when he shot, the opponent didn't even have time to react.

Newcastle United fans sitting in St. James Park could only watch Crespo teach Given a lesson with precise footwork. His shot was unstoppable.

"GOAL!!! A perfect shot from the Argentine striker!" Such passionate commentary could only be shouted out by Chelsea supporters. The supporters of the "Magpies" looked helpless.

Before Owen Gashiler, who they had high hopes for, got a chance to shoot, Chelsea had already scored the first goal. Who the hell said that those guys in blue clothes were almost defeated by injuries!

Go to hell! These animals are now as fierce as a group of butchers with knives!

Chelsea's attack often defeats the opponent's courage in an instant, and this time is no exception. If Souness still has the intention of giving the opponent a good look, he doesn't want to do it now.

But he forgot that these beasts of Chelsea will never stop attacking.

Crespo's goal gave Chelsea the initiative on the field. Newcastle United's attack could not be organized at all. Although Makelele was not on the field, Essien's interception ability was not inferior. Even this guy's physique was enough to deter the opponent. Even a bad guy like Bowyer was knocked to the ground by the opponent in the confrontation with Essien. Africans are sometimes really fierce.

When Shearer ran back and forth on the field, he was very depressed, especially when he saw Lin Yi constantly tearing his own defense line with passes, this depressed mood was even more accumulated. Last season, he was a commentator of the Champions League final and it was very cool. Now it was his turn to suffer. Only then did he know how AC Milan's defense line was destroyed by this kid.

"That kid is simply a beast..." When Shearer saw that the score on the big screen had been rewritten to 3:0, he could only grit his teeth and chant the traditional English national curse at Lin Yi.

A 4-0 victory only allowed Chelsea to gain three points and four goals, but this fierce attack by these guys did put an end to many rumors surrounding them.

Sometimes, facts speak louder than words. Say Chelsea is going downhill? If such a victory still means going downhill, then Mourinho has no objection. He wishes it were like this every day.

But such a fierce state is not good news for Manchester United who are about to play.

"Who said that these animals are injured? How can they beat Newcastle 4:0 with injuries?"

Ferguson had a headache when watching the game video. . .
