Chapter 471

Of course, although the process was bumpy, Arsenal won the first championship of this century after all. Although the current Arsenal fans will not be too crazy, they are still a champion after all.
For the current Arsenal, the next thing to do is to continue to maintain the top position and lead to the end. For Arsenal, their biggest opponents are old enemies Chelsea and Manchester City.First of all, the unbreakable iron army is back.Of the 20 teams in the Premier League, Chelsea have taken the most points from behind: 14.Among them, there were 4 times of comebacks and 2 times of tying the score.The second is to control the situation.Sometimes a 1-0 scoreline is the ideal result and under Jose Mourinho 19 per cent of Chelsea's games ended 1-0, the highest rate of any manager in the Premier League with at least 15 games in charge.

In contrast, the changes in recent months are the ones that best reflect Mourinho's coaching skills.In the Premier League, yellow footballs are used for winter games.During the "yellow ball" period, Chelsea scored 24, 24, and 22 in the previous seasons, and they were only ranked 7th, 5th, and 8th in the stage grabbing points. This season, after 17 "yellow ball" games, Chelsea leads the pack with 39 points.

More importantly, entering the winter, especially after entering Christmas, the stability of Chelsea's state makes everyone shudder.Defensively speaking, Chelsea only conceded 1 goal in the home games against Liverpool and Manchester United, and did not concede a goal in the remaining 9 games. Cech's "Golden Glove" ranking also jumped to second place (2 games, second only to West Ham United).These are all powerful guarantees for the Blues to reach the top after 11 rounds.Before the game, Mourinho talked about the general trend of the championship: "The championship competition is two horses (referring to Arsenal and Manchester City) and a pony. This pony still needs to be fed and needs to learn how to jump (referring to Chelsea's lineup is still young and immature)."

After the game, Mourinho made this statement: "I know we occupy No.2 in the standings today, but I am concerned about No.5. Tomorrow I will pay attention to Tottenham vs. Everton and Manchester United vs. Fulham. I want to stay away from No.5. When we stay away from No. 5, our Champions League places will be more firmly in hand." Catch up, this move is ruthless, Jose!"

In this sense, Mourinho's "showing weakness" about the Colts is more like a psychological warfare, the purpose is to relieve the pressure on his team as much as possible, and push the opponent to the forefront.In this round, two horses, Arsenal and Manchester City, fell in front of Mourinho's psychological warfare, and Mourinho's modesty and low-key made his team become the new top name in low-key luxury and connotation. BBC commentator John Hutson exclaimed: "The little pony is standing out, he is definitely flying!" and "Sky Sports" even called Mourinho's Chelsea a "Trojan horse".What people don't notice is that in the middle of last week, Mourinho said: "Everything I say is psychological warfare, everything I do is psychological warfare, everything is psychological warfare." Really like Gary Neville said-"Don't believe a word the Chelsea manager said".Perhaps as Mourinho said, Chelsea does not yet have the absolute strength to win the championship this season, but it is undeniable that his psychological warfare attainments have been perfected.

Of course, the experienced professor Wenger will not be fooled. Wenger emphasized that there is no Big Mac team in the Premier League today, and Arsenal is not the Manchester United of the year.

"I told you a month ago and you didn't believe me," Wenger said. "I don't think there are any giants in the Premier League now because there are so many quality teams in this league."

"Every game, you have to give your best and try to play at the best level and that's what determines the game."

After defeating Manchester City, Mourinho still kept a low profile saying that Chelsea's chances of winning the title are not as good as Arsenal and Manchester City.Mourinho used the analogy of horse racing to explain: "The championship competition is two horses (referring to Arsenal and Manchester City) and a pony. This pony still needs to be fed and needs to learn how to jump (referring to Chelsea's lineup is still young and immature)."

Regarding Mourinho's statement, Wenger responded that he would not be fooled by Mourinho and underestimate Chelsea's competitiveness. "Chelsea are in the title race of course, and if you really don't want to be in the title race, it's easy to get out," Wenger said. "We will only focus on our own team and not listen to what other people say."

"It's a crucial month for us and it's important that you keep fit and perform well during this period."

"When you're in a good position to compete, then towards the end of the season, every game is crucial, every point counts. We've worked hard to get to where we are, so let's enjoy the game and try to do our best."

Li Yuxin, the captain, also said in an interview: "Chelsea and Manchester City are terrible opponents. Although Arsenal is now at the top of the list, there is no reason to slack off. And Mourinho's smoke bombs can't fool Arsenal. Who would underestimate Chelsea?"

Manchester City coach Manuel Pellegrini also countered that Pellegrini did not take this seriously and pointed out that Chelsea is one of the clubs that have spent the most money in recent years.Peshua said: "Maybe their coach thinks Chelsea is a pony, maybe it really is a pony, but it is a rich pony. This is a team that has spent the most money in the past ten years, this season, and this transfer window. So, pony, rich pony."

It was Pellegrini's strong push back against Mourinho's accusations that some clubs "circumvented" Financial Fair Play laws.This is also Pellegrini's first counterattack against Mourinho this season. The Portuguese replaced Pellegrini's Real Madrid coach in La Liga may have left some grievances.In the past few weeks, he has refused to respond to Mourinho's psychological warfare.

After the league double-killed Manchester City, Mourinho still insisted that his team was not the favorite to win the championship. Peishuai stood up and pointed out that Chelsea was in the championship.Pei Shuai said: "He proved in the past two games that he has a strong team and excellent players. I think Chelsea is the favorite to win the championship. He said this to make himself invincible. This is his strategy, and every coach will protect the team in his own way."

Now the media is full of excitement, and the war of words between several famous coaches is getting more and more exciting, and the instigator of the war of words is Mourinho, who is thinking in his office. He knows very well that among the top three teams, Chelsea is currently the weakest. The creativity of the midfield and the strength of the striker are seriously insufficient, which makes him very headache. If only Li Yuxin was in Chelsea. Speaking of that kid, Mourinho smiled. Jose, although I have to admit that you are proud of us now, but you will regret it, I can guarantee that within five years, you will regret your decision today!"

Li Yuxin said it more arrogantly than Mourinho, aren't you very attractive?I am more attractive than you!
"Since this is the case, it is obvious that we cannot reach an agreement, Mr. Li Yuxin!" Mourinho said coldly.

"That's right, Mr. Mourinho," Li Yuxin's tone also hardened, "I thought you were a visionary, but today's meeting completely overturned this impression. With your current short-sighted vision, I don't think you are suitable for the Premier League. I will consider other candidates. Excuse me!"

After speaking, Li Yuxin stood up and left his seat.

"We are indeed in financial difficulties now, but we will come out of the Premier League. Within ten years, we will still become a powerful team that attracts attention in Europe, and even the European champions. At that time, Mr. Mourinho, do you still have the capital to be arrogant?"

The reason why Li Yuxin dared to say these words was of course because he knew that Mourinho had no idea what kind of achievements he could achieve in the next ten years. In fact, only Li Yuxin in the whole world knew that Mourinho would still be so arrogant ten years later.

"You can coach a strong team, a giant club, but let me tell you, Mr. Mourinho, you will never be just a passer-by in the history of that giant team, one of the stars in the galaxy, but our new Manchester United is creating a piece of history that belongs to us, belongs to our galaxy, and sets milestones that will be admired by the younger generations of chasers!"

"Do you know Ferguson? Why is he great? Because he single-handedly created the Manchester United dynasty, and now, our new Manchester United is looking for a Ferguson who can lead the team and create the Red Rebel dynasty, but what about you? Apart from seeing that we are a League C team, have you seen such a long-term vision?"

"Frankly speaking, Mr. Mourinho, you may be able to lead a certain team to achieve impressive results like Chelsea and Porto. You may be able to achieve impressive achievements, but your short-sightedness is destined to prevent you from becoming Ferguson. It is hard to be called great!"

Of course, what Li Yuxin meant was not to say that only people like Ferguson can be called a great head coach, but he used this sentence to stimulate Mourinho under this special situation.

Even after Li Yuxin left, Mourinho was still sitting where he was, staring at the front in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

Maybe he was really stimulated by Li Yuxin's words, because Ferguson is indeed a head coach he admires very much. He is strong, wise, and flexible. In addition, he has just achieved impressive achievements. Mourinho can't help but compare himself with him.

Even when he coached Chelsea later, Mourinho obviously adopted two different scoring standards for Ferguson and Wenger. Perhaps it should be said that there are many similarities in the tempers of the two.

Are you going to be a star in the Milky Way?Or create a bright galaxy?

Didn't Mourinho return to Chelsea today to become the one who created a brilliant galaxy like Ferguson and Wenger?

Remember before you left

Although he lost the game, Mourinho still held his head high. In the past three years at Chelsea, his team was very competitive in the Champions League, but he always encountered the most difficult schedule...

"Sometimes, something is precious only after it is lost." Wenger said to Mourinho thoughtlessly, looking at Mourinho who was a little confused, he did not explain, because he knew that Mourinho would always understand the meaning of this sentence in the future.

The meaning of this sentence, until now a few years later, when Mourinho returned to Chelsea as a savior, he did not really understand the meaning of this sentence.

It was difficult at the beginning after I came back, but I am very happy with the attitude of the fans. "Today is my moment. When I returned to Chelsea and led the team to play the first game against Hull City, I was also cheered by the audience. But that can't be compared with today," Mourinho said, "Because this is when our results are not good and you (the media) even want my head."

Mourinho said: "Fans read newspapers, watch TV, listen to so-called 'authoritative' 'critics', they read blogs, so it's hard to believe they are saying that today. They probably want to say to you (the media): 'We need him, let him continue to coach.'"

Mourinho said: "Given that Chelsea is currently in such a difficult moment, the club should be proud of such fans. I have nothing to repay, I can only do my job now and in the future."

However, this year there is no hope of winning the championship, but I already have my favorite goal, next season Chelsea will definitely return the king!
