Manchester City defeated Everton 2-0 with difficulty and did not cause too much trouble in the Premier League.
Everyone is used to Manchester City's strength.
Under the guidance of Gao Shen, in just over two years, Manchester City has transformed from an upstart in everyone's opinion to a top team in the Premier League. Especially after winning the Champions League, it has firmly entered the Premier League.
The new giants of the Premier League join the ranks.
This can be regarded as Gao Shen's greatest contribution to Manchester City.
You know, Chelsea has not won a Champions League so far.
From Mourinho to Scolari to Hiddink to Ancelotti, now it’s Villas-Boas’s turn. Chelsea has dreamed of the Champions League countless times. Abramovich has invested astronomical amounts of money, but it always fails.
I couldn't fulfill my long-cherished wish.
And in this round, Chelsea, who suffered a disastrous away defeat to Manchester United in the last round, beat newly promoted Swansea City 4-1 at home.
This should have been a great thing, but unexpectedly, after the game, the Daily Mail exclusively broke the news.
Lampard and Villas-Boas have a falling out!
The first-hand source is from Daily Mail columnist Martin Samuel.
The entire English football world knows very well that Martin Samuel is Lampard's biggest fan, and the two have a very good relationship.
After this fat man from The Times became famous, he was poached by the Daily Mail with a sky-high annual salary of 250,000 pounds. Every time he was able to get exclusive inside information about Chelsea, it was because of him and Lampa
Germany, and the good relationship in the Chelsea dressing room.
At that time, the double-death incident in the England national team was causing quite a stir, and Martin Samuel was the penman who specifically advocated for Lampard. The pen war between him and Henry Winter of the Daily Telegraph was in full swing.
Henry Winter was close friends with Liverpool legend Dalglish, and most of his fans were Liverpool fans, so they naturally cheered for Gerrard, so they had a heated argument with Martin Samuel.
This is also a major feature of the English media.
Every newspaper will have its own loyal fans, so as soon as there is any trouble, someone will immediately jump out to add fuel to the fire.
The media uses this to create news, attract attention and gain sales, and the club also uses this to increase popularity and attract fans.
Each club will also have a dedicated public relations department to influence and even control public opinion.
This is true all over the world.
For example, Real Madrid thought about asking Casillas' girlfriend to resign and work in Real Madrid's public relations department. The head of Real Madrid's public relations department is the vulture Butragueno, who has a very good relationship with the Spanish media.
Ferguson mentioned many times in his autobiography that every time a Manchester United player made a mistake and the media wanted to report it, he would get the news in advance.
Some news was suppressed by him in advance, while others had no choice.
Of course, there is a price to pay for suppressing news.
This is why Ronaldinho initially accused Barcelona of not protecting him.
If Barcelona wants to protect Ronaldinho, many of his news will not be published at all. Even if it is published, as long as the method of writing news is slightly changed, the fans' perception and impression of him will be completely different.
.
But Barcelona didn't do that.
Once or twice is okay, but if it happens more often, coupled with unsatisfactory performance on the court, the fans' perception of him will plummet.
This is by no means an accidental phenomenon.
If you think about it carefully, you will know that from Maradona to Rivaldo to Ronaldinho, Deco and others, and even to Messi in the future, Barcelona's methods of selling players can be said to be of the same origin.
Real Madrid is definitely not a White Lotus, they do the same thing.
From Hierro and Del Bosque, to Raul, then Casillas, then Ramos...
all the same.
From the perspective of running a club, these are normal.
People like Hierro, Del Bosque, Raul, Casillas and others are all loved by the local fans of Real Madrid, but they are too old.
Players like them must be reused if they stay. If they are not reused, they will be a hidden danger in the locker room if they stay.
But selling is also a problem, because they are so popular with local fans, how to sell them?
Believe it or not?
If you sell it now, the fans will go straight to the gate of the Bernabeu.
Therefore, the guidance of public opinion has become a good method.
In fact, Hierro, Raul and Casillas later returned to Real Madrid one after another.
Now, Chelsea is encountering such a problem.
Villas-Boas made a high-profile announcement at the beginning of the season that he wanted to revamp his game, and even included veterans such as Lampard, Terry, Drogba and others on the list.
In this game against Swansea, Lampard sat on the bench for the entire game and was not used for a minute.
Before the final whistle blew, Lampard simply put down his game, turned around and walked back to the locker room with a sullen face. He didn't smile at all the whole time, almost writing the word "unhappy" on his forehead.
The next day, the Daily Mail published an article by columnist Martin Samuel, publicly accusing Villas-Boas of lacking respect for Lampard and other meritorious veterans, and believed that Chelsea's performance this season lacked the strength to compete for the championship.
There is no doubt that Martin Samuel's target is directly at Villas-Boas.
Combined with Lampard's early departure, this will definitely cause a wave of reactions from Chelsea fans.
If nothing else, Lampard's status in the hearts of Chelsea fans will not be lost to captain John Terry.
Okay, now you, Villas-Boas, who has just arrived, will directly take down our favorite local leader. If the team performs well, and if you, Villas-Boas, are as good as Mourinho, then we will too.
Just admit it.
But looking at it now, I don’t seem to be doing much good at all!
Martin Samuel said that so far this season, Lampard has only played four games, three as a substitute and one start but was substituted in midfield, which has caused him to lose his place in the national team.
"He doesn't want to be a substitute anymore!"
…
When Gao Shen saw this news, he felt really helpless.
Did Boas do the right thing?
In the long run, he should be right.
But whether it was the method or the process, he made huge mistakes.
Now is just the beginning. Then there will be turmoil in the locker room. Veterans such as Drogba and Terry begin to rebound, and the team's performance plummets. By that time, Villas-Boas begins to beg the veterans to work hard for the sake of performance. At that time
That's interesting.
Sometimes, Gao Shen feels that this world is really full of strange things.
For example, Zhu Yunwen in the Ming Dynasty was able to hand over a great empire to his fourth uncle in a single act.
The descendants of this fourth uncle also did a lot of tricks, and they just handed over the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty.
And this Boas also did a lot of tricks and tried to kill himself.
What do you think of his tactical thinking?
Gao Shen was half of his master. Villas-Boas often went to Italy to listen to Gao Shen's lessons. His tactical ideas were very advanced and he followed Gao Shen's pace very well. He was very good at pressing and pressing in high positions.
To win the Triple Crown in Porto, his coaching ability is definitely among the best among his peers.
Of course, the premise is, don’t compare with Gao Shen!
So what's Boas's biggest problem?
Gao Shen felt that he was like a very good department manager, but he couldn't handle the relationship with his subordinates.
This is very common in companies, and generally speaking, it is difficult for such supervisors to achieve results.
Take what happened with Lampard this time.
If it were Gao Shen, he wouldn't have said those words to the outside world before the season, but he would do it.
How to do it?
Aren't they just veterans?
I'll deal with you one by one.
I won't say anything and will deal with you one by one, which not only stabilizes the team but also achieves the goal. It's just a waste of time.
However, Boas has already made "harsh words".
That's okay, I'll do it!
Anyway, I have already offended, so I will stick to it till the end.
But what did Boas do?
Lampard, Drogba and Terry continued to play, but their playing time was less.
As Samuel said, in the past four games, Lampard has been a substitute in three games and started one game but only played the first half.
Come on, man, are you trying to humiliate people?
You can either stop using it at all, be more ruthless and suppress it to the end, or you can make it clear and let him go to the Cheers game or even the reserve team.
If I were to be more ruthless, just like Ferguson sold Roy Keane, just sell Lampard to me!
This is called courage!
Things have reached this point, and Villas-Boas is still trying to smooth things over, saying soft words to Lampard for leaving the game early, and praising him as an extraordinary player who will soon be back on the roster, which will be better than everyone expected.
be quick.
Please, what do you mean?
Can we give a clear explanation?
If you say and do this, not to mention that Lampard will not feel better about you, even the young players who were originally grateful to you will start to worry. They will still insist on standing by your side and try their best to play for you.
?
Gao Shen really wanted to write a big word of praise for Boas!
…
"Chelsea has no chance of winning the Premier League this season!"
Gao Shen said very firmly.
Ever since Villas-Boas took office and his various actions at Chelsea, Gao Shen knew that in all likelihood, this kid would be the same as in his previous life, unlucky enough to get out of the way.
And Chelsea is likely to benefit Arsenal, Liverpool or Tottenham Hotspur this season.
In addition to Manchester United and Manchester City, two of these three teams are estimated to be able to reach the semi-finals.
"Right now, Chelsea is still ranked third." Carlo reminded with a wry smile.
"It's only the sixth round. Just wait. I'm not interested in reading any Chelsea news until Villas-Boas dismisses get out of class."
When he said this, Gao Shen had a confident expression on his face, saying "I have read a lot, so I will definitely not be wrong." After saying this, he turned around and left in a cool manner.
Left in the coach's office, a group of people looked at each other in confusion.
This is just the beginning of the league, and Chelsea is sentenced to death?
Villas-Boas won the Portuguese Super League Triple Crown last season and is the most popular young coach in European football today. Are you going to let him go?
Is it too harsh?
"What should I do?" Carlos Vargas looked at Carlo for help.
He is a newbie. He used to be an assistant to Fernando Lucas, but now that Lucas has become the CEO of Leeds United, he has been helped up. Now he is still a little unclear about the temper of the big boss.
Everyone else smiled.
Carlo also shook his head and smiled bitterly, "What can I do? Don't hand him these tidbits about Chelsea from now on, it's a waste of his time."
Although no one said anything, everyone had some doubts in their minds.
Could it be said that it is really as expected by Gao Shen?
Will Villas-Boas really leave get out of class midway?
The league has just started and Chelsea are already finished?
