Chapter 272 Lost in the Striker?

With the end of the 36th round of the Premier League, the hostile media of Manchester City panic!

Manchester City beat Fulham 4:1 and has been undefeated in 36 rounds of the league. As long as they persist in two more games, Manchester City will be able to create a glorious season of unbeaten seasons. At this time, everyone knows that an unbeaten season is not a dream for Manchester City. , What's more, in the match with Fulham, Manchester City's state is quite brave and a four goals away from home is enough to prove everything.

At this time, no media dared to assert that Manchester City could not achieve an unbeaten season.

At the same time, the end of another game made these media feel cold. When the final whistle sounded at the Emirates Stadium, the top three positions of the season have been determined, the first Manchester City, the second Manchester United, and the third Chelsea.

Chelsea drew 1:1 with Arsenal. The points gap between them and second-place Manchester United widened to 7 points. With only two rounds left in the league, they had no hope of catching up with Manchester United.

At the same time, they don't have to worry about the third place in the league, because Arsenal and Liverpool's results are even worse. In other words, the last two rounds of the league don't mean much to Chelsea.

But these media are also counting on Chelsea to stop Manchester City!

Manchester City's opponents are only Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur. Tottenham Hotspur's results are also good, but in the past two seasons, they have scored 2 losses and 1 draw against Manchester City. Their two losses were all big scores. The defeat, almost no one expects Tottenham to block Manchester City.

The only chance then is Chelsea.

Chelsea may be sad now, because they have had their worst season - only finishing in the top three in the league and losing the Champions League.

However, at the end of the game at the Emirates Stadium, Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho and his players walked to the Blues fans stand and applauded them. People in blue jerseys responded with applause, and the atmosphere seemed to see no frustration and loss.

at the post-match press conference. Mourinho was interviewed.

"I used to feel that it was possible to go further." Mourinho recalled the journey of a season. "If we win today and then beat Manchester City and Manchester United next week, we can finish second in the league. But in the end we didn't. It did, but I'm still proud of the team."

Mourinho's first move after the game was to walk into the field. Finger stands for the fans of the away team. Greet the team members to go to the curtain call. After that, he made frequent gestures to Chelsea fans on the sidelines. He raised his right hand upwards, indicating to raise his head, and shouted "UP! UP!" in his mouth.

Mourinho is telling fans to look up at this moment because next season will be a fresh start.

"I always knew that one day I might not be able to win the title for a long time. I know that feeling very well. There is always hope for the future." Mourinho was referring to the time at Porto, when all the championships were him and Porto. of.

"I have to say, maybe I'm more proud here than when I was champion, my players are heroes. For this season, they've been fighting 'everything' and they've done a fantastic job. This season has been amazing." With four fronts simultaneously rushing to the final stage, it is now possible to lose two of the most important championships. Everyone is doing their best and finally falls in front of a great goal. This shows the drive to fight together, "This is hope, I believe we can do better next season."

Mourinho then talked about the whole Premier League format.

"The reality is, the Premier League is over, with Manchester City first, Manchester United second and Chelsea third, it's over."

A reporter soon asked if he thought Manchester City was the best team this season, and Mourinho didn't answer directly, "It doesn't matter. They have more points and they will naturally become champions. I have to congratulate the champion, congratulations. Their coaches, players, fans and club executives, and everyone who helped them win the title."

Mourinho seemed reluctant to talk about other teams, only Chelsea. He went on to express that he was proud of Chelsea's spirit of struggling in difficult times. "I feel like we are champions now. My players are heroes, the whole It's been a great season, it's been a great season for me and I think today's game is a memorable one, it shows the spirit of the Chelsea players. I'm happy with the way the Premier League ends."

Mourinho was referring to the fact that Chelsea, who played with 10 players in this game, still put a lot of pressure on Arsenal, and throughout the season, Chelsea's attitude in the face of challenges such as injuries, contradictions, and multi-line operations also made it difficult for them to do so. He is satisfied.

"Usually when a very successful team loses a title, it's usually a lack of motivation, a lack of effort and people can blame them, but Chelsea, on the other hand, we've worked hard for four fronts and I think the players are too Excellent."

But media reporters don't care much about the meaningful 'spirit', because the most rumored outside world is that Mourinho will leave soon, Mourinho refuted the rumors about his unstable position, "The future? No, my future is my future. I'm ready for next season in July and I don't understand why there are so many rumors."

Mourinho finally congratulated Manchester City, saying that at the Manchester Stadium next week, Chelsea players will line up to welcome Manchester City.

"It's a tradition in English football. Now, in this day and age, there's less and less tradition, so we should respect it and let it live on."

After that, Mourinho talked about the next round of the game against Manchester City. He said, "I don't think the last two games are meaningless to us. What we respect is the spirit of competition, not the so-called game key or not key. , that has nothing to do with us. We don't need to prepare anything now. If we lose again this round, it will be difficult for us to guarantee a victory at Wembley Stadium, so I will tell my players that this game will definitely Take it!"

Mourinho was referring to the two-legged match between Chelsea and Manchester City. The first time was a league match at Manchester Stadium. This game was actually meaningless to both sides, that is, some media were hyping Manchester City's 'unbeaten season', but Mourinho said, "It is a great achievement to be unbeaten this season, but I don't think he would care because we are the same people." He seemed to express that he and Wansheng were the same kind.

Mourinho then said something like this. Surprise everyone I interviewed.

"My relationship with him (Wan Sheng) has been bad, we don't have any personal conversations, or leave a phone call with each other? No, nothing. We're like enemies. Maybe it's destiny too, I don't believe in any God, Jesus. But whenever I think about me. With him, it always feels doomed."

"When I came to England, he also became the manager of Derby County, and then we were competing, competing, three seasons, three whole seasons. He was a genius. I lost. But I believe it's only temporary. Yes, one day I will be successful!"

"In the future, if we find a cafe, we will have a lot of topics to talk about."

"When I don't give up any games, even if it doesn't make sense, I try to stop him and the team he leads. That's what a football coach should do."

This is Mourinho's attitude towards the next round of the league.

Mourinho said a lot. In the last paragraph, it is extremely rare to express feelings for Wan Sheng. So the interview quickly turned into a report, and the whole of England is also paying attention to the next round of Manchester City and Chelsea.

"Manchester Stadium" called this game "an important step for both sides to test!" The premise is naturally for the FA Cup final.

Manchester City won the league title, but lost the Champions League. They will definitely not give up the FA Cup. Chelsea have not won anything this season, and the FA Cup will be the only championship they can fight for.

But in the following time, Wan Sheng seemed to be very low-key. He did not say anything about Mourinho's words, or in other words, there was no media who could directly interview him.

Wansheng's daily schedule is the training ground and home. The season is about to end, but he has become busy.

In fact, Wansheng has been insisting on its own practice, so that all players in the team should not relax.

The season is almost over.

In general, the team can relax completely. In fact, as Mourinho said, Wansheng is not so important to the unbeaten season, because it is only pressure for the team, and has no meaning at all. What he values ​​more is the FA Cup.

Simple because that is a champion, a real champion!

At the same time, this championship is also highly valued by fans and the club, and can leave a lot of legacy in the club's history.

So he takes it seriously.

The opponent Chelsea in the FA Cup final is not so easy to deal with. Even in the past two seasons, Wan Sheng and his players are not afraid of Chelsea, nor have they lost to Chelsea, but the showdown at the new Wembley Stadium, the result Not doomed.

If the team relaxes and is careless, then the welcome will definitely be a failure.

This season, the failures in the Champions League are enough. Wansheng does not want to experience any more failures, so he will use his own method to tell everyone in the team: "The season is not over yet, we are still preparing for the battle."

In such a tense rhythm, the 37th round of the league is finally about to begin.

Wansheng appeared in the media's field of vision before the game.

Now it is a head-on collision between the two sides, and Wansheng will not avoid anything because he thinks that the team has been late to complete a "warm-up". Once you are in shape and have confidence in the game, then let's collide head-on!

Wansheng did not talk about the topic of undefeated season, but used a very classic, even recorded in the "Wansheng Quotes", to interpret all the content of the media's attention--

"He's right, we might be good friends. But if he wants to get in my way, I'll kick him down the abyss!"

————

The game started in this atmosphere.

Both sides attached great importance to the game and were in very good form, and the game also turned into a fierce confrontation and... a goal battle.

In just one first half, both sides had four goals.

2:2.

Manchester City and Chelsea, the two sides rarely kicked off the game with a big game. After a half-time break, Manchester City scored another goal and told everyone that they could win the game. The key--

Goal efficiency!

"Anelka! Anelka!" the live broadcast commentator Berbat Zinc Powder shouted, "The French once again showed his dominance in the penalty area! It is said that European giants have begun to compete for him, Inter Milan The offer of 45 million euros invited him to join, and clubs such as Newcastle United, Sevilla, Chelsea and Real Madrid also participated in the competition. After two seasons of crazy performance, the Frenchman's worth at least doubled, but he belongs to Manchester City. , he is an important part of Manchester City!"

"So far, Anelka has scored 27 goals in the league, 8 more than Drogba in the same game. Before the game, many media were discussing who was better between Anelka and Drogba. , but we can see that Anelka is more dominant, at least in the box!"

The afterglow of the third goal is not over yet. Just five minutes later, David Beckham made a long pass from the right and hit the ball in front of the goal. Anelka squeezed Paulo Ferreira and turned around and volleyed. , again to complete the goal.

Many media and fans were stunned.

Berbat went crazy again, "Anelka! Anelka! Anelka! Anelka!"

All he knew was to keep shouting French names.

When the excitement subsided a little, he talked about the goal in detail, "Anelka's 28th league goal, two goals separated by only five minutes, is an accurate long pass from Beckham. We found Anelka accurately, we can see that Ferreira is very weak in defense, he can't stop Anelka's footsteps at all!"

"4:2!"

"We've been able to confirm the outcome!"

————

At this point, on the Chelsea bench, Mourinho was very surprised.

What surprised him was not Anelka's performance, but the scoring efficiency that the entire Manchester City showed in the game!

In terms of situation, Chelsea played well in the game, they were not suppressed by Manchester City.

Data is also very telling.

So far, Chelsea has 14 shots on target, 7 of which are on target, and scored 2 goals. The performance is still very good; in comparison, Manchester City has only 9 shots, but the key is--

Manchester City scored four goals!

Of Manchester City's 9 shots, 6 were within the range of the goal frame. The efficiency is very high, but it is still less than Chelsea's 7 shots on target, but Manchester City has twice as many goals as Chelsea.

Is it the goalkeeper's problem?

Mourinho looked at Cech, recalled the performance of the Czechs throughout the game, and immediately denied this, because Cech's state is not bad, Manchester City's several goals can be said to be very helpless, like It was Anelka's volley in the penalty area just now. That kind of ball couldn't be saved at all.

So where is the problem?

All I can say is... Manchester City are more efficient in front of goal!

Look at the state of the brave Anelka, Mourinho is determined - Chelsea is losing to the striker.
