Chapter 574: Di Natale's Crisis
In fact, this is not a contradiction. Di Natale understands Mourinho's approach. Every coach has his own style. It is normal and good that he is not suitable for Mourinho's tactical system.
It's no wonder Mourinho's head, he was not appointed by Mourinho, and Mourinho still gave him a fixed playing time, so he couldn't continue to cooperate, just shake hands and part ways, The real world is not a novel, and there are not so many scenes of pretending to slap the face and revenge.
During the winter transfer period, Di Natale and the club made a transfer application. After all, the main position here cannot be guaranteed, and he has more choices. With his ability, he will never worry about his next home!
At that time, Di Natale was on the phone with David. After all, he was leaving England, at least he said goodbye!
David wanted to say, "Come back to Notts County!", but David didn't say it in the end, because it was obviously impossible!
Di Natale doesn't seem to have this idea either, because if he returns to Notts County, at best, he will compete with Villa for the main position as before, and now there are two other center forwards on the Notts County striker. Roba and Morientes, the playing time is even less guaranteed.
Humans are emotional animals, but emotions cannot be eaten as food, so what is really needed is to remain rational.
But in the end, there was no following. Chelsea did not let Di Natale leave. This is not only Abramovich's decision, but also Mourinho's decision.
Abu doesn't want to let his favorite star leave, and Magic Bird also doesn't want to let go of Di Natale, a super shooter. He is not a fool. Now the team's striker can really score steadily, only Di Natale, even if he is more Willing to play a high school striker, but can not ignore the role of the Italian striker.
So Di Natale didn't make it in the end, but his relationship with Mourinho slowly dropped to freezing point!
I am not suitable for Mourinho's tactics, this is no problem, just let yourself go, so hello, hello, hello, everyone!
But what if you don't let him go, you have to rely on your own role, but you can't guarantee your playing time. You have to use yourself as a substitute!
How can Di Natale stay calm?
So after several unsuccessful talks, Di Natale and Mourinho also fell into a cold war.
However, because of Di Natale's professionalism, he did not make the contradiction public. He usually trained and competed, and he did not show any abnormality.
But this time, the media caught clues.
In the English media before, the best player in the Premier League this season was predicted, but only two players were really compared, that is, Villa from Notts County and Lampard from Chelsea.
Villa was the best player in the Premier League last season, and this season is still ahead of the strikers in the scorer list, and his performance is as good as ever; Lampard seems to be getting the hang of Mourinho this season. Now, originally an all-around midfielder, his offensive and scoring ability has been further improved, and he is omnipotent in scoring, assisting and defending, and his performance is extremely eye-catching.
Although the league is not over yet, the two have been frequently compared and debated.
Mourinho naturally supported his confidant and favorite. When asked this question in an interview with the media, the madman made no secret of his praise for Lampard.
"There are many forwards who can score goals in the world, and Villa is very good. No one will deny this, but often everyone only sees the forwards scoring goals on the field, but ignores the huge role played by the midfielders. Lampard is already the best all-round midfielder in the world, he's a phenomenal player, so there's no doubt he'll be the best player in the Premier League!"
Mourinho's remarks did not surprise the reporters, because no manager ignores his own players to tout the players of other teams, and Lampard's performance is indeed very good.
But when it was Di Natale's turn to be asked the question, the mood was clearly off.
Di Natale is now a teammate with Lampard, but he and Villa were teammates, friends and rivals, so reporters are digging holes for him to see how he comes and goes.
If Di Natale supports Lampard in order to improve his relationship with his current teammates, then he will be portrayed by the media as an unprincipled image who can deliberately curry favor with the new and dislike the old; but if he supports Villa, then even more Well, how can he stay at Chelsea?
And if Di Natale chooses not to answer, even better, the media can make it up at will!
Reporters all thought the Italian striker would choose to remain silent, but Di Natale was blunt.
"I don't agree with Mr. Mourinho's view. David is already the world's top striker, a double football player, and has stood on the same level as Zidane, Figo and other superstars. And Frank Although he has the potential to become a superstar, he still needs more growth, and when he can really decide the outcome of a game, then he has succeeded!" Di Natale made no secret of his views, even if this view There will be an uproar.
Di Natale not only did not stand on the side of current teammate Lampard, but also directly denied Mourinho's point of view. Is this Nima going to rebel?
Lampard himself is not disgusted by Di Natale's words, because he knows that Di Natale is not a person who likes to cause trouble, and what he said is also true, maybe he will stand at a higher height in the future, but at least Now, he can't compare with superstars like Zidane.
But Mourinho, who has a strong desire to control, cannot tolerate this at all. Whether he is denying his teammates or refuting his own words, he believes that Di Natale is fighting against himself.
He has never been a soft-hearted person. When determining the roster for the game, he directly excluded Di Natale, who was in very good condition, from the roster, showing his iron-blooded side.
Chelsea players kept their mouths shut and were reluctant to comment on this matter, while the media began to continue to report on Chelsea's infighting, which once again brought Chelsea to the forefront.
"As the coach of the team, I have the right to decide whether a player can be included in the squad. I will choose the most suitable player. Di Natale did not enter the squad. Naturally, I don't think he is suitable for this game. It's as simple as that to play!"
In an interview, Mourinho made a tough statement. (To be continued.)
