Midfielder

Birmingham, who have lost 12 goals in the last three games, don't look like a stumbling block to Chelsea. This is true. They played at home and still lost 3-0.

This is thanks to Mourinho's lack of ruthlessness. The absolute main players like Lin Yi were adjusting their bodies to prepare for the second round of the match with Benfica, and did not show up in the match with Birmingham.

These main players really did not show up. These animals were all in the physiotherapy room at Stamford Bridge, enduring the abuse of the physiotherapists while watching their teammates abuse the poor Birmingham team.

Drogba, who still wanted to continue to expand his lead in the scorer list, did not go with the team. According to Mourinho, "You are leading by five goals now, and there are still seven rounds to go. Why are you in a hurry? With Lin Yi and the others, are you afraid of not having the chance to score?" This is more useful than anything else.

There is a beast-level guy behind you who can deliver shells at any time, so there is really no need to worry about anything.

Moreover, according to Henry and Van Nistelrooy's recent state and injury situation, it is a bit difficult to catch up with Drogba.

Drogba has rested, Lampard and Gerrard are not surprisingly squatting at Stamford Bridge, including Lin Yi, who just finished filming, and they all stayed together to receive a comprehensive examination by the team doctor.

In addition to grabbing points in the league to defend the title in advance, Mourinho's remaining task is to ensure that his absolute main players can play in full attendance. The later the Champions League is, the more they will compete with their strength.

The more complete the main lineup, the greater their chances of winning, but Benfica is definitely not a team that Chelsea must be worried about. Mourinho is aiming at the semi-finals and finals.

As for the league, there are Cassano and Anelka, a group of fierce guys, which are enough to deal with opponents.

This is not naked contempt for the opponent. In fact, the Birmingham team is hoping that the opponent will not use the main players.

Birmingham's head coach Bruce has been under a lot of pressure recently. Losing 12 goals in three games is embarrassing enough. If he is severely beaten by Chelsea, he will really be fired.

However, Lin Yi's group of animals did not play, which would not delay Chelsea's victory. Compared with the previous three games, Birmingham's loss this time was not embarrassing. At least it lasted for nearly 60 minutes.

It was just that Mourinho changed the formation at will in the second half, scoring three goals in the last 30 minutes.

However, the long-term attack in the first half did make many Chelsea fans depressed. There were two goals, but they were both determined to be offside by the linesman. Although it was a hair's breadth, it was not counted in the end.

Anelka even argued with the referee because a goal was called off, and got a yellow card for nothing. However, this is rare for eccentric guys like Cassano and Anelka. After running in for half a season, they are no longer the unstable factors of the team as before. When Lin Yi and Lampard are absent, they can also lead the team to grab points.

Moreover, Cassano and Anelka are really hot recently. Their respective national teams have also issued a call for them. Domenech has found another center forward besides Henry.

The problem with Cassano is relatively complicated. Lippi, a stubborn guy, only agreed to try Cassano's recent state in the friendly match. As for whether to recruit him into this year's World Cup lineup, the old guy has not let go, but this positive signal is also good news.

It cannot be said that Mourinho is a Midas Touch, but his means of controlling players do need a lot of people to learn. It is not so common for a coach to shoulder all the responsibilities when the players cause trouble. He can convince the Chelsea team not only by his invincible performance.

Mourinho's three substitutions in the second half all had an immediate effect, especially in the frontcourt adjustments. The rotation between pure bench players can also make him play such magical changes.

After the game, even those picky media sighed, "The Portuguese is getting more and more mature."

From on-the-spot command to the adjustment of pinching the opponent's famous gate, Mourinho has written a new record with a series of victories. Now no one has talked about his annual salary of 5 million. Instead, many people think that if Chelsea does not increase the treatment of this guy, he may not be able to tie him down. You know, Real Madrid does not have a helmsman now, and they are staring at Mourinho.

Mourinho is the soul of Chelsea, and Lin Yi, who he trained himself, is also the absolute core of this team. If Mourinho leaves, who can guarantee that the kid will not leave?

Even Kenyon himself said that he was able to sign Lin Yi. In addition to Mendes' active operation and Chelsea's willingness to spend money, the more important thing is that he got Mourinho in advance, otherwise it would still be impossible.

So now who wants to get Lin Yi, first of all, must get the crazy Mourinho.

But is Mourinho, who has won so many championships in Chelsea, so easy to be poached?

As for these profound questions, it is not for Bruce's level of players to consider. At the end of the game, he looked up at the bright red score on the big screen, and his expression was called melancholy.

It is not wrong to say that this guy wants to cry but has no tears. After all, the game collapsed after he defended for 60 minutes. Chelsea, who did not play the main lineup, still easily took away the victory.

And the facts also proved that Bruce's premonition was correct. He was fired the day after the game.

Fifteen goals were lost in four games. This poor defense has made the club and fans unbearable.

At this time, no matter who it is, a scapegoat must be found. Bruce was just a scapegoat. However, some people say that this is the sixth coach Mourinho has fired.

For this kind of peer killer, it is definitely a good hand to attract hatred. Mourinho is definitely the target of public criticism among coaches now. In fact, why bother? Why should peers suffer for peers? How discordant!

Mourinho can only helplessly say that this is definitely a shot even when lying down. He really didn't mean it.

In fact, Mourinho didn't plan to get any goal difference from his opponents. Chelsea really doesn't care about boring records such as the total number of goals in the season. Getting three points is the most important thing.

However, Chelsea won three points by basically stepping on the corpses of their opponents. After this season, the corpses under Chelsea's feet have accumulated into a mountain. It's really miserable.

After defeating Birmingham, they continued to maintain their high-flying progress in the standings. Even the media said it blatantly after the game, "Now Chelsea is only one game away from defending the league."

Although this statement may be suspected of slapping other giants in the face, it is also true.

Including Ferguson and Wenger, coaches have also acquiesced to this outcome. At least this season, they can only look up at Chelsea going further and further. The championship did not belong to them from the beginning.

Helpless, depressed, or envy and jealousy in the eyes of many people, anyway, all kinds of emotions will have an outbreak at the end of the season, but Chelsea's strong defense has made more teams helpless.

Birmingham can't be a stumbling block, and Manchester United has no intention of fighting Chelsea to the death. It's enough that the opponent can't win the championship with all wins, not to mention that there is still a round between them and Chelsea, which will not work.

If Ferguson is determined to compete with Chelsea, he will stay in the FA Cup. It is obviously not a wise move to fight against the opponent in the league. It is a thankless task.

Teams like Manchester United have already taken the initiative to withdraw from the ranks of the deadly fight, so there is no need to expect West Ham United to stand up and block the eye. In the second league of the double match in a week, Chelsea returned to Stamford Bridge to face West Ham United, who came to the door but were definitely not prepared to win. They were extremely easy to make a move, and the score of 4 to 1 allowed them to successfully defend the title at home!

In fact, the whole game was finalized at the end of the first half. The score of 3 to 0 showed that this season's Premier League had ended early, and Chelsea had lifted the league trophy for two consecutive seasons.

West Ham United can only lament their bad luck. Not only was they ravaged once, but they also became the background of the opponent's defense. The once glorious Hammers can only accept this fate.

However, apart from the London local newspapers that published the front-page headlines, other newspapers did not react so enthusiastically to Chelsea's successful defense. After all, the ending was already out of suspense.

Now Chelsea has only completed this process six rounds ahead of schedule. As for Chelsea's carnival, it only belongs to their own fans. The rest of the people can only watch from the sidelines.

Compared with Chelsea's championship, the most noteworthy thing in the Premier League now is probably who can get the other three Champions League tickets and who can stay in the league at the end of the season. These are the most worthy of attention.

Compared with those teams struggling on the edge of life and death, teams like Chelsea, which have won championships in the past two seasons, are definitely an existence that makes people envious, jealous and hateful. However, this experience is limited to themselves. The other teams are obviously not comparable to them. Even Manchester United was not so exaggerated when it was glorious. Five crowns? Damn, what a perverted era!

Chelsea's successful defense did not set off any waves. Compared with Wenger's encounter with Ferguson in this round of games, Chelsea's trophy can only be ranked behind. Manchester United vs. Arsenal is the highlight.

Perhaps only such a brilliant duel can awaken the sense of honor between each other, but this time the one who laughs last is the stubborn old Scottish man. Compared with Arsenal and the Champions League mission, Manchester United can go all out, but Wenger is obviously a little timid in the face of pressure.

In order to successfully advance to the Champions League semi-finals at home, Arsenal did not try their best. Although Wenger has some experience with the tactics of pestering recently, he is not a desperate person like Chelsea after all.

It was pestered, but Ferguson's clenched fist offensive formation burst out with terrifying efficiency at the last moment. Ronaldo succeeded in eating Lauren twice on the wing and sent two wonderful assists.

Although Lin Yi's popularity in the Premier League has overshadowed this guy who also came from Portugal, Manchester United fans can still see the rapid progress of this kid without comparing him with Lin Yi. At least a quarter of Manchester United's attack this season comes from him, and the cooperation between Ronaldo and Rooney is becoming more mature. Although this kid does not have Beckham's accurate cross from the wing, his breakthroughs and dribbling have exceeded the threat posed by Giggs, which is the most deadly.

And this guy is growing up every day. According to Ferguson, "A guy who is growing up and can't see his future is worth Manchester United's money anyway."

Maybe this is also Ferguson's way of covering up for the fact that he bought Ronaldo out of spite, but it is undeniable that this deal now seems to be worth it, and this kid's value has at least doubled.

It was precisely because of Ronaldo's rampage on the wing that Arsenal's iron lock was captured in the last ten minutes of this game. Wenger's persistence finally failed. The score of 0-2 is not very embarrassing, but losing in front of the old enemy made Wenger not attend the press conference after the game.

Ferguson's complexion is good, although he lost the league championship and failed to enter the knockout stage of the Champions League.

But he was able to beat his old rival in the league and maintain his second place in the league. It was worth drinking a glass of red wine after the game. It felt good to step on his old rival to get the Champions League ticket. Moreover, the increasingly stable and perfect lineup also made Ferguson want to compete with Mourinho next season. After all, Manchester United did not have the habit of being the second behind others.

Before the curtain of the Premier League is about to fall, the competition for the other three Champions League places in the league will become more intense, and the relegation battle to defend the Premier League will become more tragic.

But all this has nothing to do with Chelsea. Now they just need to wait for their own trophy before the end of the league. The Champions League is their top priority now. After two consecutive rounds of the league, Mourinho waited for Benfica, who came with all the main players, at Stamford Bridge.

In front of the English reporters, Koeman still maintained his habit of being stubborn, "No one can say for sure who will enter the Champions League semi-finals until the last minute of the game."

Koeman wanted to tell those annoying English reporters, don't think that we Benfica came to London for a day trip! We are also here to play games! We will never admit defeat before the end of the 90-minute game!

But his remarks seemed to be emboldening himself. After all, Stamford Bridge, an undefeated stadium, has not lost to opponents in any game since the day Mourinho took over.

If Benfica wants to break this rule, he really has to consider whether he can do it. At least from the first round of the game, Koeman and his team do not have that kind of superior strength.

Mourinho never commented on Koeman's remarks. His approach has always been very practical. It's a mule or a horse. Let's take a walk. Don't talk about so many useless ozone layers. You can say those words when you can really win.

Silence does not mean Mourinho is not serious. Just like his silence, Chelsea also threw all the main players on the field silently. The 3-1 in the first round seemed to have been automatically filtered out by them. From the moment the game started, these animals acted as if they were the lagging side.

In the quarterfinals of the Champions League, most teams began to choose stability first, especially when they had away goals, most people would choose to play defensive counterattacks, just like Chelsea last year.

But this time Mourinho taught the former Dutch international Koeman a lesson. Chelsea is not only strong in defense, but also in offense. Now Chelsea's offense has been polished by itself. When they pass by like the wind, you must always remember to be careful of your neck, which can easily cause a fatal wound. Koeman may not have fully remembered that this is a team that can play against Barcelona.

People always have to pay the price for their recklessness and neglect. This is the case with Koeman this time. He knows that it is not easy to play away. Although he must go all out to attack in order to advance to the Champions League semi-finals, Koeman is still prepared to stabilize his position first and then find a way to play short passes under the strong pressure from the opponent.

But Mourinho's Chelsea did not give him this opportunity, and Lin Yi also did not give this Dutch coach a chance. When Benfica tried to stabilize the control of the midfield after the opening, Lin Yi took the lead in drawing his sword.

There is no special skill, but Lin Yi's kick in the middle is enough for Lampard to break through in the frontcourt. His powerful volley has a strong lethality within a range of 20 meters.

This time is also the case. Lampard, who swung his long legs, broke through Moreto's ten fingers with a muffled volley. The miserable Benfica goalkeeper really didn't understand until his death why he was so unlucky to run into Chelsea. Is God, the old bastard, deliberately making trouble for him?

In the two games, the four goals conceded so far have left Moreto helpless. Every time he watched the football pass by him and roll into the net, but he had no way to save it.

This is a feeling of powerlessness that goes deep into the bone marrow. No matter how unmoved Coman is on the sidelines, it still cannot change the cheers that have already sounded in the Stamford Bridge. This goal has sentenced Benfica to death, and the second round of the game has only been played for fifteen minutes.

Chelsea has another loser trampled by them this time. The threshold of the quarterfinals of the Champions League has been crossed by them. Now for Chelsea, there are only the last three games left.

Two semifinals and one final. This is the first time that a team has successfully entered the top four of the Champions League after the reform of the Champions League. As for whether Chelsea can create the miracle of defending the title, they can only wait.

Chelsea, which has written too much history, may not let the dusty records be lonely for too long. . .
