Step by Step to Win

For Wolfsburg players, meeting Mourinho's team in the Champions League is a very troublesome thing. After the draw result came out, the whole team was also depressed. And this mood, after learning from the news the next day that Chelsea's speech after the draw ended, was considered to have reached its peak.

"You read the news, do you know what Mourinho said to the media?"

The draw was over. When Perisic asked Gao Shunyao in the locker room before the game against Augsburg the next day, Gao Shunyao looked at Perisic’s face and saw the same as himself. Frowned. He nodded lightly, but also smiled bitterly, indicating that he already knew Mourinho's words, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Just yesterday, after the draw was over, Mourinho was immediately interviewed by the English media, and his interview enabled the Wolfsburg players in Germany to also smell danger signals.

"I have played against Wolfsburg, and I am very familiar with this team. They are a very strong team, especially their physical fitness. Under the guidance of coach Magath, they are impressive. It was last year with In their game, I saw Matic, the most outstanding midfielder, and introduced this worthy player to Chelsea. He will also complement my experience with Wolfsburg and let me play with Wolfsburg. In the game, get the head start."

In Mourinho's words, he did not have too much ridicule. At first glance, his words seemed to be very kind to Wolfsburg. He not only praised the dedicated and conscientious attitude of the Wolfsburg players, but also affirmed their strength. However, if you analyze it carefully, you can know that there is some irony in his words.

He was deeply impressed by Wolfsburg's physical strength, but did not mention Wolfsburg's tactics. To put it bluntly, he was mocking Magath as an individual coach, and there was nothing unique in the tactics. He said that Matic is the best player in Wolfsburg, worthy of his fancy, and undoubtedly said that the others in Wolfsburg are not worthy of playing for Chelsea. And he mentioned last year's match with Real Madrid, and said that he poached the best player Matic. In the final analysis, I am reminding Wolfsburg: Don’t forget that you lost in my hands last year. You are just my defeated players. If you want to dig for your good players, we are not a team of the same grade.

His words seem to be a very peaceful evaluation of Wolfsburg, but in fact the information revealed in the words. But every sentence is sarcasm and sarcasm. This eloquent coach mocked Wolfsburg with seemingly compliments, which naturally made the Wolfsburg players very unhappy.

What's worse is that his words are enough to mislead the media's comments. In fact, just after he spoke, almost all the media immediately believed that Wolfsburg would definitely be at a disadvantage in the game against Chelsea.

The media also have some speculation about the outcome of this game. In their view. Mourinho has plenty of game experience, his attitude is very correct, coupled with Chelsea’s strong strength, these reasons are enough for Chelsea to win – Mourinho’s words made the media all stand on his side, and The players at Wolfsburg were very discouraged.

"This guy is really good at teasing."

For Mourinho's speech, the Wolfsburg players can only complain a few words in the locker room. For them, it was not Mourinho's hidden taunts that made them the most depressed, but that he had declared war in his words.

As a coach. Mourinho has always been famous all over the world for his excellent psychological warfare ability and his outstanding eloquence. Launching a psychological warfare before the game is also one of the things he is best at. The game has not yet started, he has already started the war against Wolfsburg, through a seat of words. He exerted psychological pressure on the players of Wolfsburg. By reminding the gap between the players of Wolfsburg, Wolfsburg clearly realized that their game with Chelsea would never be too easy.

And his words really played a big role. After hearing his speech, Wolf Castle was indeed a little uneasy: there was no reason for him. Mourinho's words are basically all the truth, and after telling the truth, he said that he will be able to defeat Wolfsburg, which sounds very reasonable and well-founded.

He did defeat Wolfsburg, Chelsea was indeed stronger, and he did have Matic who knew Wolfsburg tactics very well...These were the truth, and it made people feel more and more that Mourinho wanted to defeat Wolfsburg. The declaration is very serious.

And his attitude has seriously affected the views of the media.

In fact, before he spoke, some media had been quite optimistic about Wolfsburg. Because before the start of this game, people cannot be sure what Chelsea’s real purpose this season is-does Chelsea want that league title, or want to go further in the Champions League, or whether it’s really like that. Mourinho said, they just didn't have any pursuit this year, just have fun? Any of these guesses is possible, but none of them seem to be true.

In fact, if Chelsea analyze it from a rational point of view, the best way is to stop wasting energy in the Champions League, but to shrink back energy and concentrate on playing the league.

The Premier League’s game is faster than the Bundesliga, and their league battle has also entered the final countdown stage. Chelsea is still leading the Premier League with 60 league points. If they take back their tentacles and work harder in the league, after this season, perhaps they may really touch the Premier League trophy. Chelsea is not without the opportunity to fight for this honor.

But if they have to survive in the Champions League, I am afraid that in the next league competition, they will not be so smooth, after all, the competition they face will be very fierce: after all, their three main competitors, Liverpool do not have the Champions League to play, Manchester City and Arsenal, have now ended the Champions League mission. They are very close to Chelsea, and they are likely to be able to catch up with Chelsea. Go all out and Chelsea may win, but if you are distracted by the Champions League, it will be very difficult to win.

In this regard, the most sensible approach should be to no longer manage the Champions League and go all out to play the league. This is also the biggest reason why many media believe that Wolfsburg may defeat Chelsea. Compared with the honours of the Champions League semi-finals, the league championship is a real trophy. Don't want to put the championship trophy. This is too stupid.

However, Mourinho's attitude seems to be to do this once. And if you take into account other Chelsea situations, this approach is indeed appropriate.

The Chelsea team has been thriving since Abramovich took over. And their long-term pursuit, in addition to the championship, there is also the long-term pursuit of becoming a giant. As a giant team, long-term stable performance is very important. Chelsea is afraid that they will not allow their team to perform poorly in the Champions League, especially considering the embarrassing situation last year. Chelsea may force themselves to go further in the Champions League.

Last year, Chelsea, as the defending champion of the Champions League, was eliminated in the UEFA Champions League and was forced to play in the UEFA Europa League. This can be said to be a great shame for them. After experiencing this humiliation, Chelsea's club image was also severely damaged, and for a while it became a laughing stock. To restore this image, a Champions League quarter-final is obviously not enough. In order to save their club image, perhaps Chelsea will work harder in the Champions League, which may also be a matter.

Of course, the long-term development of the club is sometimes not highly valued by coaches. More coaches choose to look at short-term benefits. Only when they can win the championship in a short period of time, it is more in line with their pursuit. It’s just that Mourinho’s situation at Chelsea is slightly different: he did say that he wanted to stay at Chelsea for a long time, and after experiencing the farce with Real Madrid, it is estimated that he is also exhausted and he is not willing to move around indiscriminately. . After all, he has a relationship with Chelsea in the past, and the relationship with him here is very deep. In addition, Chelsea has also been staged a coaching change farce in the past few years. It is estimated that he is already a little tired, and Abramovich also has his desire for the Champions League. Satisfied, now they have met together, I'm afraid they won't think about short-term championships anymore, and they will indeed consider some long-term things.

On the other hand, as everyone knows, Mourinho and the former Chelsea coach Benitez do not get along well. Although Benitez is just a firefighting coach, he left after six months at Chelsea, but Mourinho Ao still cares about the marks he made when he was coaching at Chelsea~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Since taking office, he has always looked down on Chelsea’s UEFA Champions League last year. He has repeatedly stated that a team like Chelsea plays in the UEFA Europa League. It shouldn't be regarded as an honor-the big talk has been released, and when it comes to him, he must have some decent results-Mourinho is quite arrogant and very opinionated. In order to prove himself, I am afraid that he will not easily admit defeat in the Champions League.

Unlike Manchester City, although it is also a nouveau riche, Chelsea's original accumulation has basically been completed. Now they are no longer the time to take the championship seriously, what they need is more fame and stable results. And it is precisely because of this pursuit that Chelsea will never relax. This is also the most important message in Mourinho's speech before the game.

This game will definitely be a tough battle-before the game arrives, this is the message Mourinho wants to convey to Wolfsburg. In this game, he didn't have any intention to neglect. His team defeated Wolfsburg last year, and this year, he wants to do it again.

Through the media, he told Wolfsburg of his choice. He wanted to put pressure on Wolf Castle and make Wolf Castle feel terrified. However, what he might not have thought was that besides fear, Wolf Castle also had other feelings after he spoke. (To be continued.)
