Chapter 360 Fighting Between Dragons and Tigers (8)
After the training, Terry found Mourinho privately and stated his concerns. After listening quietly, Mourinho nodded and thanked Terry for his report: "I don't have any inclination. Who can do it?
In the end, it all depends on the performance on the field. As for your concern about their lack of coordination on the field, we have enough personnel reserves and no one is irreplaceable."
"Wiwi too?" Terry asked worriedly.
"Yes." Mourinho affirmed coldly: "Even though he has just set a brilliant record in the World Cup, for our league, don't you think our offensive power was too strong last season and even overflowed?
In fact, as long as we can defend the title this season, it doesn’t matter if we advance a few rounds."
Terry opened his mouth and wanted to say something about the Champions League, but when he thought about it, without wiwi, there are Drogba, Shevchenko, and Lampard. This lineup is also a candidate for the Champions League championship, right? Even if wiwi is added
, it can’t be said that winning the championship is guaranteed, so it doesn’t seem to be much different.
Terry said goodbye, and Mourinho looked at his back and was speechless for a long time. In fact, both of them knew that Terry did not say something clearly, that is, Shevchenko came with Shang Fang's sword and was also a Slav.
The boss supports it, and the problem here has long gone beyond the purely competitive level.
At this time, Mourinho's fairness was precisely an "injustice." Fortunately, the Portuguese was already prepared and showed his tendency to the boss in the first round of the league.
On the morning of August 20, Mourinho announced the starting lineup for the first round of the 2006-07 Premier League season that night. In fact, Shevchenko had been training with Chelsea for half a month and scored a goal in the Community Shield.
Ke is on the list. Wang Ai, who has just returned to the team for five days, is not included in the starting lineup.
When a reporter asked a question, Mourinho replied: "Wiwi is too tired at home, the time to return to the team is too short, and the time to practice with the new lineup is not long, so we have to wait."
When reporters asked Shevchenko, he said: "I am integrating into the new team."
Lampard said: "Andre is a powerful striker. We all hope that he can score more than 20 goals a season."
In the calm situation, the striker who had just won the Golden Boot in the World Cup was put on the bench. Although there were various reasons, the reporters were secretly excited. If Shevchenko performed amazingly today, would it be possible?
If this continues? How will the Chinese people react?
Unfortunately, Wang Ai did not accept interviews. When he came to Stamford Bridge in the afternoon, he just smiled and said nothing to reporters' questions.
Drogba, Shevchenko double forward, Robben, Wright double forward, Lampard single attacking midfielder, Essien single defensive midfielder, then Terry, Carvalho double central defender, Bridge, Ferreira
The left and right full-backs and goalkeeper are Cudicini, who replaces the main goalkeeper Cech.
This arrangement is enough to satisfy the ambitious Mr. Roman. If the match goes well, then Wang Ai will not be allowed to play the whole match and Shevchenko will be given enough time to perform, which will leave the boss even more speechless.
As for whether Sheva can occupy the main position in one fell swoop, Mourinho knows it well. He has not done any major surgery on the tactical system around Sheva! How many super forwards have lost their glory after changing teams? How many stars can play in any game?
One who shines under one tactical system? What’s more, Andre is already 30 years old.
Of course, Mr. Roman doesn't understand these issues. Even if someone reminds him, it makes sense for Mourinho to ask for it. You as the boss can't even give up the team's results for your interests and hobbies, can you? Let 10 people do it for one person?
Should individuals adapt? Or should one person adapt to 10 people?
The opponent in this game is also good, Manchester City is at the middle and lower level of the Premier League, and it is also Manchester City who is short of major generals.
Sun Jihai did not come with the team this time. He is carrying the red card from last season. Of course, Chelsea is not doing well either. Not only Cech is injured, Ballack, Joe Cole and even Michael Essien who played are also injured. He has a broken wrist.
Forced. One is that Makelele is also injured, and the other is the pressure put on him by Ballack. In fact, even Terry suffered a groin strain during pre-match training...
Both sides are full of injured soldiers, but even if Chelsea comes up with a 1.5 lineup, they are still too strong. Even Salomon Kalou, who is sitting on the bench, is also the international player of Cote d'Ivoire.
Ba's teammate, who was the youngest player in the Eredivisie last year, made such a big splash at Feyenoord that Van Basten was tempted to let him represent the Netherlands. The other black player is the current Nigerian international.
John Mikel was snatched from Manchester United's mouth. The other black man is France's Diarra, known as "Little Makelele", and his position is also a midfielder. These three new players
One common feature is that they are young. Kalou and Diarra were both born in 1985 and are just 21 years old this year, while Mikel is simply the same age as Wang Ai, only 19 years old.
The game was as expected by the outside world. Manchester City could not pose a threat to Chelsea. They scored three goals in the first and second half, but failed to score a goal. Not long after the opening, Terry sneaked in and scored a header in front of the goal, and then midway through the first half
, Lampard once again hit the goal with a long-range shot, and then midway through the second half, the unrelenting Drogba completed the third goal.
Throughout the game, Shevchenko, who was always in the center of Mr. Roman's sight, got a lot of opportunities, ran very diligently, and even scored a goal, but it was invalid because Lampard was offside first. There was another beautiful goal.
The turning shot hit the opponent's hand unintentionally, and the referee did not call it a whistle. Therefore, in the first game of the Premier League, the famous "nuclear warhead" unexpectedly fired a squib against the fish belly.
Even after the game, both the head coach, his teammates and himself expressed their confidence in scoring goals for the team. However, a squib is a squib. If you can't score a goal, you can have an assist. There are no assists. Even after playing for a full 90 minutes,
Only two shots, not as many as Lampard's.
No one knows what Mr. Roman is thinking, but he definitely can’t blame Mourinho, because even Drogba was replaced after scoring a goal, but Shevchenko was always on the court. The opportunity gave
You, time has been given to you, and your teammates have helped you. If you can't get in, you can only blame yourself.
Who told you to train with the team for two weeks in name, but in fact you can’t even practice for half a day every day? Who told you to be soft on advertising fees when you first came to England and haven’t proven yourself yet? Every Chelsea player knows that he is favored by the boss.
, if you don’t believe it, there are still a few Russian foreign players in the team who can’t play in a single game. But that doesn’t mean that everyone doesn’t have their own sense of right and wrong.
And how long can Shevchenko, who has fired a dumb bomb, be able to "suppress" Wang Ai?
