A person who travels a hundred miles is half a mile! Whenever you are close to the end, it is always the moment when people are most relaxed mentally and the most tired physically. It is also the moment when the opponent is the most tenacious and fierce. The last level of the video game is the BOSS, not without it.
It makes sense. Even if you are an elite originally, you will get a BOSS template due to internal and external effects.
Drogba's appearance did not change Chelsea's passive situation.
A whole smooth season has made Chelsea, who lacked the foundation, float up and down in the air. If it weren't for the stubborn Jose's tenacious pull, and if it weren't for the consistent stability of Wang Ai, who is always "out of tune", Chelsea would have stumbled long ago.
. But precisely because they never stumbled, the whole team didn't wake up completely.
The praise of the newspapers and the fanaticism of the fans have made the players famous, making money, and even their love fortune has flourished. After the Arsenal, which was in full swing a few years ago, was ended by Manchester United and its undefeated streak was ended, the lineup has basically remained unchanged, and the coach is still Wenger.
, why are there two completely different teams?
The smoother the early stage, the more serious the accumulated psychological problems will be, and the more tragic the consequences will be when it breaks out. There are very few teams that can restrain themselves and change quickly in this regard, and they are basically giants with strong foundations. Because they have made similar mistakes before,
Know how to change quickly.
Chelsea doesn't know, Roman doesn't know, and neither do the officials, coaches, or players.
Therefore, even though Jose sounded the clarion call for a counterattack and chief general Didier Drogba stepped on his horse and raised his gun, the performance of other players was still sluggish. The fighting spirit that was finally inspired by Jose faded within five minutes.
The inertia accumulated throughout the season, as well as the subsequent realistic considerations of the FA Cup, Champions League, and World Cup, are all affecting the attention of the players, making it difficult for them to make up their mind to fight against the odds like Fulham.
With a score of 0:1, the whole stadium was noisy, reporters were excited and several opponents were snickering, Chelsea returned to the away team locker room. Everyone sat in silence on the bench in front of the lockers, dejected. In the first half, everyone was in different situations.
Terry, Lampard, Crespo, and Ferreira all worked hard during this period. Although everyone's efforts were different and no better than before, they still worked hard after all. However, nothing changed in the result.
As a result, they quickly became depressed because they discovered that when they were working hard, their teammates were not working hard. And when their teammates were working hard, they were half-hearted and did not notice. Except for Wang Ai, Carvalho, Duff, and Ku
Except for players such as Dickini who did not play at all, a dangerous spark called "mutual accusations" was brewing among all the players who had experienced the battle in the first half.
Many conflicts in the locker room that eventually became violent and even caused the team to disintegrate were caused by such little things. When the team performs well, there will be competition among players for position, status, income, endorsements and even women.
It can be suppressed because the common interests are greater. But once the competition is unfavorable and the common interests cannot suppress individual interests, the conflicts will become acute and even uncontrollable.
Jose slowly walked into the locker room. The players couldn't help but show expressions of confusion, shame, a little fear and hope. For example, Drogba, who almost regarded Jose as a mentor, moved his lips twice, wondering what he wanted to ask.
, but didn’t say it in the end.
"Boys, I know you are very tired." Jose hugged his shoulders and leaned against the locker with a smile: "To be honest, I am also very tired. We have been fighting together for a whole season, and we have been able to reach this historic milestone ahead of schedule.
Who has done this to win the championship in multiple rounds? You and I, we are together, and only us. Now let us look back at the entire season, and we will find that today’s good results are watched by the whole of England and the whole world.
Good results are the result of all the hard work and hard work of all of us in training and competition. So, maybe others don’t know it, but I know that you are very tired.”
Everyone nodded unconsciously, who knows who is tired. For this group of international players, this season is the preparation period before the World Cup. They have participated in many national team training camps, and Drogba, Essien and others are even more important.
Participated in the African Cup of Nations, played seven or eight more games than players from other teams, and spent an extra month traveling.
"So, today I will not criticize you, nor will I force you. Because for us, eight games in advance, seven games in advance, or even six games or five games in advance have already broken Manchester United's record. Even if you are willing, I will
I can give you a rest for half a month, and it will not delay us from breaking the record anyway. Each of us will still be hailed as a hero by Stamford Bridge, will still be the darling of newspapers and sponsors, and will still be the pride of the fans in your respective countries."
Everyone smiled. Inadvertently, they had accumulated such a huge advantage! Several team members even relaxed and stretched their legs.
"So, in the second half, I ask you..." Jose protracted and found that his disciples were a little nervous, and suddenly smiled: "Enjoy the happiness brought by football. Although I still hope you win, you must also
I hope to win, but there is no need to worry about this one. No matter how bad we are today, it actually doesn’t matter, because the championship brought by the next game or the next game will easily erase it, just like..."
Jose suddenly opened his palm and blew a breath: "Dr. Wang told me a Chinese proverb: blowing on ashes makes the difference."
This time, even Wang Ai laughed.
Jose then walked up to Joe Cole and patted him on the shoulder: "Joe, I need you to rest in the second half. If you are very tired, you can rest in the locker room. We have more important games next that require your full strength.
go."
Joe Cole nodded and accepted the coach's comfort. Anyway, he had a share of the victory and it was a very important contribution.
"What else?" Jose patted Joe Cole on the shoulder and pointed at Wang Ai: "Our Dr. Wang is trying to overthrow the King of Highbury. Before the game, he complained to Mr. Roman that I didn't give him a chance. In front of
I complained to my boss, so I gave in."
The locker room burst into laughter.
Jose proudly stood in front of Wang Ai with his hands in his trouser pockets, looked down at Wang Ai with a wry smile and said: "My dear Dr. Wang, complaints consume credit. If you can't let people see you in the next 45 minutes,
If you realize your ideal possibility, then we will go all out to support you in your bid for...the top scorer in the FA Cup."
Wang Ai bent down and held his head in his hands, and quickly raised his hands in surrender.
