Chapter 175 Digging Pits for Each Other...

At the end of the game, many Chelsea players couldn't help but sit directly on the grass and experienced a massive defeat. These players felt very tired both physically and mentally.

They sat on the grass with blank eyes and didn't even want to lift their heads.

Manchester City players are laughing and laughing. They are enjoying the feeling of a big victory. To beat Chelsea by a big score at Stamford Bridge is something they dared not imagine, and now they have done it.

Although everyone consumed a lot of physical energy, they were still in high spirits. When they came off the court, they did not forget to wave to their fans, but they did not stop on the field. They walked back to the locker room joking in twos and threes. After all, this is the place. It's Stamford Bridge, not Manchester City.

The head coaches of the two teams, Wan Sheng and Mourinho, also stood up and prepared to leave the field.

According to the etiquette of regular football matches, in order to show competitive sportsmanship, the coaches of the two sides will shake hands politely after the game, but Mourinho and Wansheng are the kind of hard-tempered people who don’t care about etiquette or rudeness of.

From the first time the two played against each other, no matter what the result was, the two had never had a normal handshake. On this point, the two even reached a tacit understanding.

This time is different.

When Wan Sheng was about to turn around and walk away, he saw Mourinho walking towards the middle. Portugal was looking at him.

Wan Sheng thought about it for a while, but walked over. As a winner, he must ensure his due demeanor.

The two met in front of the player tunnel, and then stretched out their hands and shook hands politely in front of numerous media cameras. It seemed like a polite handshake, but the atmosphere between the two was definitely not friendly.

Mourinho stared at Wan Sheng with a serious face, and Wan Sheng smiled back. With an expression of indifference on his face.

As a winner, he should show generosity, even if the opponent is the most 'hated' guy in the league.

Mourinho looked at the young Chinese in front of him, and his mood was actually very complicated.

When leading Porto to the top of Europe, Mourinho thought he would be the youngest and best football coach of the early 2000s. But now the thinking is different. What is the future of the young people in front of us? He is not sure, but what is certain is that the opponent is even younger than his assistant, Boas, who was also working under Robson. He is such a young man who leads an ordinary team and repeatedly competes in the Premier League. beat him.

Mourinho had always thought Wan Sheng was out of luck. Now he doesn't think so.

After this game. Mourinho already knew that this young man was fully capable of being his opponent, and a very strong opponent.

So he came over and offered to shake hands.

This is a handshake and a declaration of war!

He, Jose Mourinho, the arrogance in his heart will not allow him to concede defeat, they will be opponents this season, the next time they meet. He is about to defeat the opponent!

......

Many media took pictures of Mourinho and Wan Sheng shaking hands, and the expressions and actions of the two announced that a fierce confrontation was about to start.

This game is over. Manchester City have won, but the league has only just begun, and it's hard to tell who will win.

Many media are also planning to put this photo on the front page of tomorrow's football news.

After Mourinho and Wan Sheng shook hands, there was no friendship at all. Mourinho walked back to the mixed area first, and then went straight to the press conference venue. Wan Sheng went back to the locker room to appease the players.

The two tacitly did not appear at the venue together.

When Mourinho walked into the venue, all the cameras, cameras, microphones, voice recorders and other equipment immediately pointed to them. All the media wanted to see. In the summer, hundreds of millions of euros were invested, but they lost 0:3 at home in the first round. Chelsea, what will the coach Mourinho have to say, it is conceivable that the Portuguese will definitely be very stressed.

It is not the first time that Chelsea and Manchester City have lost a match, but this time they lost the worst. Everyone was optimistic about Chelsea before the game, but no one thought of the result.

Mourinho was very calm. He pointed out the reason for the loss, "The attitude of the players is not right, the state is not good, we are lacking in hard work."

"I'm not disappointed, I'm only disappointed when we should win and we don't," Mourinho said. "We lose in this situation, I'm not disappointed. We can't blame the referee, we can't blame the opponent. , I can't blame luck, I can only blame myself for performing poorly. So, I'm not disappointed."

"In my opinion, the key is attitude, which directly affects the state of the whole team. When a team does not perform well from the first minute to the last minute, it shows that they despise their opponents, that they do not play seriously "We weren't in good shape, we didn't recognize ourselves before the game, and this defeat was a good lesson for us."

After that, Mourinho said that the most regrettable thing was that the team did not score a goal. "We performed very well for a while and had some chances, but we didn't seize it, and Manchester City seized it, so we lost the game."

"But the league has only just begun, we haven't lost yet, and a game can't decide anything. I believe that with this lesson, the whole team will perform better in subsequent games."

"The league has just started, there is still a long time left, and hopefully they will still be among our competitors by then!"

The last sentence is a provocative declaration of war.

After talking about the game, Mourinho talked about the next game, he encouraged the whole team, "The key point is that we know why we can play well, we must know. I know, I think the players also Knowing that every game has to face the opponent, Manchester City are the defending champions, and we have not won the championship, we have to face all the games as underdogs."

"Many people say that Chelsea is strong because of our investment in signings, but in fact, I believe that after this game, everyone knows which team is stronger! In the championship, we are underdogs. , so we need to be more serious!"

This sentence is a bit meant to sow discord, but it has to be said that Mourinho succeeded.

Before the game, the media all believed that Chelsea would be the strongest team this season, while Manchester City kept the lineup from last season. There was not much change, so it would naturally be worse. But as Mourinho said, after this game, who would dare to say that Manchester City is not as good as Chelsea?

After saying these words, Mourinho left.

Afterwards, as if there was a tacit understanding, Wan Sheng walked into the press conference scene. He immediately became the protagonist of the venue. The enthusiasm of the media is even hotter than that of Mourinho just now, just because Manchester City is the winner today.

A reporter immediately 'reminds' Wan Sheng what Mourinho said just now.

Wan Sheng just smiled at this. He knew that it was the time to be proud, because the team just beat Chelsea with a big score at Stamford Bridge, which was something no team had done in two seasons.

As the saying goes: "People are popular and people are jealous", Wan Sheng can already imagine the dilemma that Manchester City and himself will face next.

Wansheng is not a good gentleman, in the Premier League. There are a lot of people who don't have a good relationship with him. For example, Mourinho who just left, Manchester City coach Ferguson, even Benitez and his relationship are not very good, only Wenger and his personal relationship are passable, this may be because these two seasons, Arsenal cannot compete for the league title.

Coupled with the group of English media who are completely hostile to him, Wansheng can be described as "embarrassed" in England.

But so what?

If you want to reach the top, you must face difficulties and obstacles. He didn't feel any timidity, but instead became extremely excited by the challenge.

Wan Sheng said this. "As a manager, all I need is respect, I already have so much love, love from my family, love from my girlfriend, love from players, etc. I don't need more love, I just need respect."

Faced with the 'provocative' question raised by reporters that 'Mourinho doesn't seem to like you', Wan Sheng smiled and said that a successful coach and a good team are unlikely to gain the goodwill of their opponents. "Only fans who are neutral will like the champions because our opponent's fans will definitely only support the teams they like, but I'd rather be jealous and want the team to win."

Then Wansheng talked about the goal of this season, "As you can guess, yes, our goal is to win the championship, the league championship, this is our biggest goal!"

"Unlike last season, we have the Champions League to participate in. I dare not say that I can lead the team to win the Champions League 100%, but the team and I will definitely work hard for better results!"

Speaking of these, Wan Sheng's face showed incomparable confidence.

Later, when faced with the choice between the Champions League and the Premier League, Wansheng directly stated his attitude, "I am looking forward to the remaining 37 league games this season. To me, success is to win the championship of major competitions, but here, maybe the Premier League champion. It's more meaningful than the Champions League."

After talking about goals and confidence, media reporters began to ask questions such as game evaluations, focusing on the performance of the players of the two teams.

Wansheng did not hesitate to praise his players, "Nikola, Li, David and others all performed very well. We won a big victory, and everyone was the hero of the victory." Anelka said, "He scored two goals and performed very well. He took the opportunity he could, which is what a striker should do. I hope he can continue to perform like this in the future. I believe He's one of the best strikers on the planet!"

This strong compliment made many reporters memorize it without a word.

But in fact, Wansheng is very satisfied with Anelka's performance, but not to this level. In European football, there are many talents who can score goals. Anelka can't. There are other people in the team who can Instead, he was more satisfied with the performance of Morris and Silva. It was these two people who made the team's frontcourt active and the team could win by a large margin.

Maurice won't mention much, his ability is enough to support him to perform well, and Wansheng is most satisfied with David Silva. After a season, David Silva has grown up, although he is still It can't be compared with those veterans, but as an offensive avant-garde, he is also fully qualified. What is particularly valuable is Silva's flexibility in the game.

"It's hard for you to know what he's going to do next." Wan Sheng said of David Silva, "I believe he will be even better in the future. He has the potential to become a world superstar!"

For Morris, Wan Sheng only said one sentence, "He is already a superstar. For a world superstar, any performance is normal."

This sentence is also enough to let people know that Wan Sheng values ​​Morris.

After that, media reporters started asking Wan Sheng to evaluate the performance of Chelsea players. Shevchenko and Ballack were naturally the key points. Wan Sheng had nothing to say about players who performed well. After all, they were not his own players. The player, he can encourage a few words, so Wansheng only said Shevchenko, "He is one of the best strikers, and his experience has proved everything."

"He was able to succeed at AC Milan and I'm sure at Chelsea the same."

"He has just arrived and needs more time. I think after a period of adaptation, his performance will get better and better."

Wan Sheng expressed confidence in Shevchenko.

The media can also read these meanings from his tone and expression, which is exactly what Wan Sheng wants to reveal, but in fact, no one knows what he is thinking.

How has Shevchenko performed after arriving at Chelsea?

The impression from the previous life is... It's getting worse and worse, it's unreasonably worse, I can play a dozen in the first season, but it's a complete mess after that, and then AC Milan loaned him out and returned to Serie A. Without performance, it can be said that Shevchenko's career will plummet from now on.

If it is his own player, Wansheng must try his best to make Shevchenko adapt to the Premier League and try to maintain his state, but Shevchenko belongs to Chelsea. Does he perform well and let Chelsea perform well? In any case, it is always better to have one less opponent. The world of football is full of extremes, and psychological tactics are also very important, so Wansheng recognized Shevchenko's ability with a smile.

It's better if everyone thinks so, maybe Shevchenko will have more chances, it's fine if he plays very well, but if it's 'ambiguous', his performance is mediocre, and he always needs playing time to adapt, then he and Abramovich's relationship will certainly challenge Mourinho's authority at Chelsea.

Chelsea will not be a monolith by then.

Those superstars who are difficult to play on weekdays must also be dissatisfied with Mourinho. These factors have erupted, and perhaps things will be just the opposite of what Mourinho said--

Will Chelsea still be among City's rivals when the two teams meet again? (To be continued ~^~)
