Mourinho can actually guess what Noriya is thinking.
Because he is also a head coach who attaches great importance to his own reputation and face.
To put it bluntly, there are only a few head coaches who are qualified to fight for face.
Just like in Fengshenyan, the greatest punishment for others is death, but the greatest shame for saints is to be "turned over". To put it bluntly, while others are still fighting for survival, saints will not die.
If you don't die, you will start to only care about face.
In the head coaching profession, only after receiving enough honors can a coach be qualified to consider it for the sake of face.
What about other people? Most of the time they are fighting for survival. As long as they can win the championship, who cares whether they look good or not.
The champion who came here is also a champion!
Therefore, Mourinho can roughly understand what Noriya is thinking, so he attaches great importance to the next game.
What's more, Chelsea is still playing at home in this game.
They cannot suffer heavy defeats at two home games in a row.
For Chelsea, it was a relatively big blow that they were eliminated from the quarterfinals of the Champions League. But to put it bluntly, although these giants have the Champions League as their first goal, being eliminated in the knockout round is not a big blow. After all, participating in the Champions League
The knockout rounds are all strong teams, and it’s normal for whoever wins and who loses.
Just like Southampton eliminated Juventus, it looked like it was easy to win 7-4 in two rounds. In fact, there is a certain amount of luck in winning away from home. After being scored by the opponent at home, Southampton was also very dangerous for a time.
A two-leg match in the Champions League is never an easy game to win.
In the home game against Southampton, they had more fighting spirit.
The rise of Southampton was actually based on the rise of Manchester United. They prevented Sir Alex Ferguson from winning the championship in his last year, and in the following season, they suppressed Manchester City. Chelsea's performance in the past two years was also
It's not that great, so it's not really a competitor.
But this season, they have begun to truly become competitors.
The fans at Stamford Bridge used huge boos to make Southampton feel the pressure of the away game.
When players from both sides came on the field, they encouraged their teams with the loudest voices and booed their opponents.
"The atmosphere at Stamford Bridge is really good." Noriya said sincerely when shaking hands with Mourinho.
"Yes, very good." Mourinho nodded.
"Southampton's new stadium will be better." Noriya said with a smile.
Mourinho has no problem with this - he is not the owner of Chelsea.
"The players from both sides have played! It is obvious that after a hard-fought Champions League, both sides have also played most of their main players! But it is normal, the quarter-finals of the Champions League will not start until April.
Until then, Southampton can focus entirely on the league, which is their last chance to win the championship!"
"The home team Chelsea fielded a 4-2-3-1 formation...the goalkeeper Courtois, Ivanovic and Azpilicueta on both sides of the back, Cahill and Terry partnered at the center back, and Marco Ma in the midfield
Tuidi and Cesc Fabregas teamed up with double midfielders, attacking midfielder Oscar, William and Hazard on the wings, and Diego Costa advanced alone! Southampton sent out their accustomed four-three-three lineup, with goalkeeper Gula
Strange, the defenders are Cancelo and Alonso, the center backs are Fonte and Otamendi, and the midfielder rotates Casemiro and Coutinho, Matic, Schneiderlin and De Bruyne
Formed the midfield, forward Perisic, Suarez, Vardy!"
"Strictly speaking, Southampton's lineup is a four-three-three. Perisic can also play in the midfield. On the left is his breakthrough and forward penetration, and on the right is De Bruyne's organization and passing. In this way,
The characteristics of the two forwards can be better utilized, and Southampton seems to want to score more goals through offense."
"Chelsea's defense is very strong. They have conceded 23 goals in 28 league games so far, the fewest goals conceded in the Premier League. However, Southampton has only conceded 26 goals, tied with Manchester United.
Second, they scored a total of 78 goals! They ranked first in the number of goals, 18 more than Chelsea, who scored the second most goals! From this perspective, these two teams ranked in the top two
It’s a matter of course, this is the highest level competition in the Premier League this season!”
Amid the shouts of the commentator, the players from both sides did not exchange much greetings - although Chelsea's starting lineup included two former Southampton players, Willian and Matuidi, and Southampton's starting lineup also included Matic and De Bruyne.
There are two former Chelsea players, but emotionally, they can only be regarded as average...
Willian and Matuidi have stayed at Southampton for a relatively long time, while De Bruyne and Matic can only be regarded as passers-by at Chelsea.
The two sides started fierce fighting and confrontation from the beginning of the game.
This is the characteristic of the Premier League.
If you don't bump into each other a few times, it wouldn't be called playing football.
Although Southampton is more technical, their frontcourt press is also very fierce.
Azpilicueta took the lead for Chelsea. After receiving a pass from Hazard on the left, he took a long shot and the ball went over the crossbar.
Southampton immediately launched a counterattack. Cancelo quickly moved forward after receiving the ball from De Bruyne, and then hoisted the ball into the penalty area at a 45-degree angle. Vardy and Suarez both missed the ball.
Perisic caught the ball and headed directly towards the goal. The ball flew diagonally towards the goal. Courtois made a wonderful save.
Hundreds of Southampton fans who came from afar immediately cheered loudly. In their opinion, of these two attacks, Southampton's offense was obviously more threatening!
However, after only seven or eight minutes, Chelsea's offense turned the entire Stamford Bridge stadium into a sea of joy!
After receiving the ball from William, Ivanovic forcibly created a cross opportunity on the bottom line. The ball curved into the penalty area. Oscar who penetrated forward and Hazard who switched to the center attracted Wundt and Austria.
With Tamendi's attention, Costa quickly moved to the back post and jumped up in time, swinging his head to attack the goal without any defense!
The ball quickly flew into the goal. As soon as Gulacchi turned around, the ball had already flown into the door!
Only twelve minutes into the game, Costa took the lead in scoring!
"Beautiful goal! It's really wonderful. This is Costa's eighteenth league goal this season! Although he missed a lot of games due to injury, his scoring rate is still very high! What a great shooter!
"
As Costa began to celebrate, Suarez and Vardy looked at each other.
It was obvious that these two shooters were quite unconvinced.
