The Godfather of Football

Many people say that Mark Hughes is a tough guy!

Indeed, looking at Mark Hughes' career, it does have a certain tragic color. To a certain extent, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a victim of English football hooligans and football politics.

Mark Hughes reached the first peak of his life at Manchester United, but the Heysel tragedy occurred at that time, causing the English team to be banned by UEFA. On the other hand, Jinson's contradiction was that he wanted to prove his strength in Europe, so he switched to Venables, who was coaching in Barcelona at the time.

An English striker moved to Spain. As you can imagine, the situation was unaccustomed. Mark Hughes was quickly loaned to Bayern Munich. After wandering for two years, he was recalled to Manchester United by Ferguson. But at that time, Mark Hughes Si Ye is no longer the aggressive striker he was two years ago.

In the 1980s, Manchester United was far less brilliant than Liverpool and other teams. Mark Hughes never had a chance to win the league championship. Even though he later switched to Barcelona and Bayern Munich, the super giants of La Liga and Bundesliga at the time, the two giants only finished second in the league. However, he missed the championship until he returned to Manchester United. In the 1992/93 season, when he was already 30 years old, he won the first league championship in his career, and successfully defended the title the following year.

These are the only two league championship trophies in Mark Hughes' career. Compared with Mark Hughes as a legendary superstar, it is indeed a bit shabby. As a Welsh international, Mark Hughes has always been with the country. There was no chance of team honors, and there was no chance of even participating in the World Cup and European Cup.

But after retiring from the professional league, Mark Hughes transitioned to become a head coach. This is also the development path of many Manchester United players after retirement. Mark Hughes's first stop as coach was the head coach of the Welsh national team. His goal It is to achieve a goal that was unattainable during his playing career, which is to bring Wales to the World Cup and European Cup.

But in the end, he failed. Even though they performed very well in the group stage, second only to Italy, they eventually lost to Russia in the play-offs and missed the 2004 European Cup finals.

Frustrated, coupled with Blackburn's warm invitation, Mark Hughes left the national team and switched to the Premier League.

As a player, Mark Hughes was instrumental in Blackburn's promotion from English League One to the Premier League, so this time, he hopes to be the head coach and lead the team out of the quagmire of last season and return to the forefront of the Premier League.

But sometimes, ambition is like a big fat pig with thin skin and tender meat, but reality is like a sharp butcher's knife.

Blackburn's situation this season is not ideal. The team has become extremely chaotic during the Souness era. Even in the last year, the conflicts between the head coach and the players have attracted far more attention than Souness's football. The attention the team received on the court has to be said to be a failure.

As the head coach, it is difficult for Mark Hughes to reverse this situation in a short time, or even

Standing in the visiting team's coaching bench at Stamford Bridge, listening to the sound of raindrops on the ceiling above my head, looking at the turf in the stadium that is no different from a swamp, and watching my team being forced into the penalty area by the home team, Mark Hughes was helpless.

He also wants a victory and needs a victory, but why should he beat Chelsea?

By strength? All the players under his command combined are not enough for Chelsea!

By tactics? Even if Mark Hughes is very confident in his abilities, I believe he will not think that he can compete with Ye Qiu!

At the very least, in the past few years, Ye Qiu has been the leading tactician in European football, always leading the trend.

In fact, Mark Hughes did not dare to look down on Ye Qiu and his Chelsea at all. Even though many people said before the game that Chelsea's current situation was very bad, not ideal, and might even collapse, Mark Hughes knew very well. , his own Blackburn is not much better, it is meaningless to laugh at the fifty steps and the hundred steps.

He wanted a stable start, not only because of the away game, but also because of the huge gap in strength.

But Ye Qiu's team told them clearly from the beginning, why is this team called one of the strongest teams in Europe? Why is Ye Qiu respected as the best head coach in Europe who is good at attacking?

The only threatening opportunity for Blackburn after the opening. Remember, it is an opportunity, not an attack. That was in the 7th minute. Taking advantage of a mistake in Terry's return pass, forward Dickov almost stole the ball, but Canava After Luo quickly retreated, he defended calmly and stabbed goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar with a kick, resolving the crisis this time.

As if reminded of this crisis, Chelsea quickly formed an attack.

Makelele intercepted the ball in the midfield and Deco passed the ball diagonally to the left. Ronaldinho took the ball from the left and suddenly cut inside. He cut horizontally along the penalty area line to the left side of the top of the arc and passed the ball through. A diagonal pass to the right rib, Rooney quickly inserted into the penalty area from the gap between the left back and the left center back, and directly poked the ball in front of him. The ball rolled cleanly into Friedel's goal, 1:0!

If this was a sudden blow, then Chelsea would soon let Blackburn's players experience what it means to be a disaster and what it means to be an absolute advantage!

Just 3 minutes later, Deco passed the ball through the middle again. Drobbara came out of the penalty area, held the Blackburn central defender with his body, and then received the ball. After using his strong body to overpower his opponent, he turned and passed the ball diagonally to the right. Rooney quickly inserted and passed the ball diagonally to the left side of the penalty area.

After receiving the ball, Ronaldinho quickly broke through the bottom, but was blocked by the opponent's defender. He stopped and passed the ball back. Lampard inserted and shot directly less than 10 meters away from the goal, but Friedel reacted quickly this time and flew to save the ball. But soon after, Lampard followed up with a header and hit it, 2:0!

The consecutive goals completely disintegrated Blackburn's will. With the heavy rain and the enthusiasm of tens of thousands of Chelsea fans at the scene that could not be extinguished even by the rain, Chelsea players launched a crazy offensive that had never been seen since the beginning of the season.

After a round of crazy attacks, Chelsea began to stabilize the situation. Deco and Makelele steadily controlled the rhythm. Blackburn breathed a sigh of relief. Mark Hughes wanted to let the players come out to play, at least to fight for the control of the game and create some opportunities, but it was obvious that Chelsea held the control of the game in their hands and refused to let go.

After leading 2:0, Chelsea patiently started a new round of rest and recuperation, but they were always staring at Blackburn, as if they would kill you again anytime and anywhere.

In fact, just when Blackburn thought they could breathe a sigh of relief, Chelsea seized another opportunity.

It was Ronaldinho's continuous breakthrough on the left again. After getting rid of the defense of two players, he made a cross. Drogba headed the ball back from a far point, and Lampard headed in and scored, 3:0!

This time, Chelsea seemed to smell the tempting smell of blood and launched a new round of fierce attack. In the 39th minute, Makelele intercepted the ball and passed it directly to Rooney. After receiving the ball, the English golden boy gently passed it to Drogba who retreated to receive it. Drogba quickly knocked it back to Lampard who was facing the goal, and the latter passed it directly behind him.

The whole process was all one-touch, and Blackburn's defense was easily disintegrated by Chelsea.

Ronaldinho personally came out this time, quickly cut into the penalty area from the left rib, and after getting the ball, he dribbled past goalkeeper Friedel and easily pushed the ball into the goal, 4:0!

The entire Stamford Bridge stadium was completely crazy!

At this moment, all Chelsea fans almost stood up from their seats like crazy!

Roaring, cheering, venting, cursing...all kinds of emotions appeared on the faces of Chelsea fans!

The end of the unbeaten record, the long-term lag, and the overwhelming doubts from the media, all of which made Chelsea feel tremendous pressure. They wanted and needed a hearty victory to fight back against all the doubts!

After the team scored the fourth goal, Ye Qiu rushed out of the coaching seat and made a confident fist to all the players on the court. He did not have the strong muscles like Drogba, but he gave people a strong feeling, which was more reassuring than Drogba's strength. It was an extremely strong self-confidence!

It seemed to say to all the media and fans who doubted Chelsea, you doubt, that is your freedom, I can't refute it, because I can't say it to you, but I will use facts and my fists to speak for me to prove that I am right!

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and Chelsea was like a hungry man who could not eat enough.

Less than 5 minutes into the game, Rooney made a cross pass after a breakthrough on the right, and Drogba made a powerful shot in front of the goal. The ball hit the opponent's central defender's leg and bounced back. Deco inserted a clever lob shot and the ball went straight into the upper right corner, 5:0!

After that, Chelsea began a new round of brewing and adjustment, as if observing the changes in Blackburn's midfield. Ye Qiu did not make any substitutions this time, but continued to keep all the starting players on the court.

In the 67th minute, Ronaldinho dribbled into the penalty area from the left. After breaking through the opponent's player and forming a single shot, he lobbed the ball to the back point. Rooney quickly inserted a header and scored, 6:0!

And 10 minutes later, Ronaldinho chose to do it himself again this time. A long pass from Maicon in the backcourt, when the opponent's player had already obtained the ball in advance, the Brazilian seemed to have no intention of stopping at all. He forced the opponent's central defender Neil and blocked the ball with his foot when Neil cleared the ball.

After stealing the ball, Ronaldinho quickly broke through and entered the penalty area. Facing Friedel, Ronaldinho calmly pushed the ball into the lower left corner, and then rushed out of the penalty area, celebrating along the way, completing this wonderful goal feast.

"7:0, my God, Chelsea went crazy on this rainy night!!"

"Both ribs, or the most fatal ribs, Blackburn's ribs were completely blown up by Chelsea. Who would say now that Ye Qiu's Chelsea has lost their best offense? Who would say that Chelsea will completely collapse after losing the unbeaten record? A complete defeat?"

"On this rainy night, we saw a manic Chelsea that could not be drenched even by heavy rain. They completely vented their anger and depression accumulated over the past two months on the unlucky Blackburn!"

"Mark Hughes once again played a tragic role. It doesn't matter what happened to him. Blackburn's strength is there. I believe that even Ye Qiu can't lead this Blackburn team to make a difference. This shouldn't be too harsh." Mark Hughes suffered two consecutive defeats. The only thing that can be said is that he was unlucky and met a crazy Chelsea team!”

Under the shouts of the on-site commentator Andy Gray and the crazy shouts of all the Chelsea fans at the scene, Chelsea still launched wave after wave of attacks against Blackburn, but Ye Qiu immediately made substitution adjustments. Many players including Cesc Fabregas, Messi and Robin van Persie were replaced successively, leaving a force for the main players.

It can be said that the first two goals in this game were calculated by Ye Qiu. They were targeted arrangements to target the weaknesses and weak links of Blackburn's defense. In addition, Ronaldinho, With Drogba and other players recuperating, Chelsea's outburst in this game is not surprising.

On the contrary, Drogba failed to score, which made Ye Qiu feel depressed!

It's not that Drogba didn't contribute much in this game. On the contrary, perhaps in the eyes of many people, Drogba had little effect, but in fact, his ravage on Blackburn's two central defenders contributed to the team's offense. plays a contribution that cannot be underestimated.

The condition of Deco and Ronaldinho has also improved a lot, Maicon's offense on the right has begun to show results, and his partnership with Rooney has gradually developed a tacit understanding, while Lampard is as stable as ever , some people will even doubt that Lampard's almost perverted stability is comparable to that of a robot.

All of this created this crazy football feast on this night!

As if to thank the fans, after the game, captain Terry and Lampard led their teammates to each stand and waved to the fans in the stands to thank them. Although this season, many Chelsea fans have also been there. They doubted them and doubted Ye Qiu, but the vast majority of people still unswervingly supported the team and Ye Qiu.

For these people, the players and coaching staff need to give thanks!

Ye Qiu even made an exception and allowed the players to be interviewed by the media after the game, which was rare.

"We never doubt our own strength because we know what we can do, and for a long time in the past, we have felt that that is not the real Chelsea, we have no way to be very good, such as Let’s play to our strengths as we imagined.”

In an interview with the media, vice-captain Lampard expressed his views on the team's performance in the past.

"Many people say that we are dissatisfied with the coach's tactics. This is false. I swear, in our locker room, if the head says one thing, we will never say the other. Just like in this game, he was He told us before the game not to think too much and attack me as soon as he came up. We resolutely followed that and you see the result, 7:0, the biggest winning score in the Premier League so far this season!”

"He is a very special person. The more critical moments come, the more we trust him, because he will never let us down, and this time is the same. And I believe that after this game, those who think we Any comments that would be depressing can disappear because we have come out of the shadows!”

The team's captain, John Terry, also made a confident promise in an interview with the media, "Losing to Arsenal in an unbeaten game? It doesn't matter. I would like to make an appeal here. I hope Arsenal can do more. Accumulate some unbeaten games, because we will catch up again soon, and this time we will be stronger than ever before!”

Veteran superstar Cannavaro also said in an interview with the media, "No team is without problems. The season is so long, there will always be some problems. The team did encounter a lot of things at the beginning of this season. , The national team plays very frequently, there are many international players, and there are some trivial matters like this, but we all got through it!"

"Losing the unbeaten record is not a big deal. On the contrary, we can face the next challenge with a more relaxed attitude. We are only 5 points behind Arsenal. Oh, no, the coaching staff just told us that Arsenal is away from home. After tying with Manchester United, we were only 3 points behind them, just one game away!”

Ronaldinho, who was elected the best player in this game, shouted provocative slogans with confidence.

"Please convey to Arsenal that we have awakened and let them run faster in front and not be caught up by us so easily, otherwise this cat and mouse game will not be fun at all!"

This is in line with Ye Qiu's style. When the team performs poorly and is questioned, he adopts a relatively low-key strategy. But once he performs well, he needs to make some changes and adjustments to encourage the team and fans as much as possible. morale.

After all, fans full of fighting spirit can also bring motivation and encouragement to the team in many cases!

At the post-match press conference, Ye Qiu also stated in a high-profile manner that the battle for the league championship has just begun.

"Our condition will get better and better. As I said before, we will continue to work hard. The winter break and the second half of the season are when we are in good condition. This outstanding performance in this game is not an accident, but a consistent one." kind of accumulation.”

"It's not the best time for Chelsea to appear yet. I can only say that Chelsea is still in the adjustment stage. Our condition will get better and better, and our results will be relatively more stable. I hope the team can exert its strength on all fronts, because no team will say NO to the championship!"

Ye Qiu's confidence comes from the team itself, because Chelsea will not encounter strong opponents before meeting Arsenal. In addition, Chelsea players are in good condition and there is no pressure from national team games. He will exert his full strength, and he even shouted out his ambition without concealing it.

"I hope to be able to maintain a perfect record before meeting Arsenal. I wonder if Wenger can keep up?"
