Now Chelsea has won two consecutive games in the league and has had a very ideal start. They will face Liverpool in the third round of the league. This game is very important for them. Of course they don’t want to lose to Liverpool away from home.
.
Chelsea were very confident when they acquired Liverpool. However, at this time, the team's manager Jose Mourinho was obviously not in a very good mood. Now he and Chelsea are no longer in love.
The lover in love.
The current relationship between Jose Mourinho and Chelsea is like a pair of lovers in the Cold War. Jose Mourinho has been at Stamford Bridge for so long, but when Jose Mourinho arrives
Chelsea have yet to bring back a Champions League trophy, which makes Abramovich, who has invested heavily, lose patience with Jose Mourinho.
Before the start of this season, there were rumors that Chelsea would change coaches before the start of the new season, and Jose Mourinho had to face the situation of dismissal. At that time, this matter spread very quickly, almost
The entire European football world has been affected.
When this news came out, some of the top teams in European football asked about Jose Mourinho. They wanted to see if the news was true. If it was true, then they would do a good job.
Be prepared to poach corners.
At that time, there were many teams that wanted Jose Mourinho to take over the team. It is said that at that time, Bayern Munich of the Bundesliga, Inter Milan of the Serie A, and the Premier League were all interested in Jose Mourinho.
of Manchester United.
It is said that Manchester United is interested in Jose Mourinho because of Sir Alex Ferguson. Sir Alex Ferguson intends to retire because of his physical problems. He hopes that Jose Mourinho, who is very powerful and talented,
Young people can take over Manchester United.
However, it is said that during the private contact, Jose Mourinho rejected Sir Alex Ferguson's invitation. He did not want to live in the shadow of Sir Alex Ferguson all the time. It was not in line with his character, so he refused on the spot.
At that time, there was a lot of news about Jose Mourinho's transfer. However, this summer, Jose Mourinho did not leave Stamford Bridge and still led Chelsea into the new season.
The Premier League.
After the start of the new Premier League season, everyone believed that the previous news about the rift between Jose Mourinho and Chelsea Club was false. Now that Jose Mourinho has not left Chelsea, this shows that all the rumors are true.
all fake.
However, only Jose Mourinho himself knows that all this is true. He is indeed no longer trusted by Abramovich. This can be seen from Chelsea's investment in the transfer market this season.
Abramovich does not want the team to still build the team according to Jose Mourinho's way. Because the facts over the years tell him that none of what Jose Mourinho has done can bring him
A Champions League trophy.
Jose Mourinho did not succeed this summer because the opinions of Chelsea's top management were not very unified. Moreover, Abramovich did not want to take advantage of others, so he did not terminate the contract for the time being, but in his heart
, there is no room for Jose Mourinho at Chelsea.
Even when Chelsea won two consecutive victories under the leadership of Jose Mourinho, he still believed that Jose Mourinho's stuff was not suitable for Chelsea.
Chelsea is a very powerful team with very lofty goals. Everything they do is to win the Champions League. If you don't have the strength to win the Champions League, then please get out of the way.
After knowing Abramovich's thoughts, Jose Mourinho sighed. In fact, in Jose Mourinho's heart, he knew that he had not failed. He firmly believed that under his construction, this Chelsea team
He is capable of winning the Champions League. It’s just that the time is not yet ripe.
However, the proud Jose Mourinho did not defend or even explain anything to Abramovich. He did not bother to do so. There is no one in the world worthy of his explanation.
Therefore, the relationship between Jose Mourinho and Abramovich is not as harmonious as they appear on the surface. In fact, the rift between them has long been created, and it cannot be healed.
Although he knows that he will not stay in this position for long, Jose Mourinho is still very responsible for the team. He still regards himself as the head coach of Chelsea, and he now has to do the final job well.
Bengang, leaving a good team for those who come after us.
Jose Mourinho knows that the day when he will be dismissed is getting closer. Therefore, the more at this time, the more he hopes that the team can achieve better results. Now facing Liverpool, in his heart
There is only one goal, and that is to win.
News came before the game that Liverpool's Gerrard sprained his big toe in the last game against Toulouse and is likely to miss the game. This is definitely good news for Chelsea.
However, Jose Mourinho doesn't think so. He thinks this is just a small trick by Benitez. Such a trick is like confusing him, Jose Mourinho, and Benitez also
It's too childish, Jose Mourinho thought coldly and arrogantly.
However, this is Jose Mourinho's wish for Benitez, because in this game, Gerrard really sprained his big toe. It was just a minor injury and should not affect this game.
In the game, Benitez simply used the topic to play on it.
However, now it seems that this excuse was not very successful, and it was even despised by Jose Mourinho.
Except for this, the two sides did not have any confrontation before the game. They both focused more on their preparations before the game.
Liverpool is already behind everyone because they have one game less. Now they really don't want to lose this game again, otherwise they will fall even further behind, and it will be very difficult to catch up by then.
Benitez has only one request for this game, and that is to win as much as possible. This is their home court, and this is Anfield.
On the day of the game, a large number of fans came to the scene, and the entire Anfield stadium was filled to capacity. Of course, the KOP stands were filled with diehard fans wearing red Liverpool jerseys, and they were singing "Liverpool"
The team's song "You'll Never Walk Alone".
Liverpool fans use this song to tell Liverpool players that you will never walk alone, because you are with us.
The atmosphere at the scene was very heated, and the Chelsea fans from London were certainly no less enthusiastic. From the moment they came in, they chanted "Chelsea" crazily, chanting their loud slogans and cheering for the team.
This Anfield may be a devil's away game for other opponents, but for Chelsea, this is not a problem. Xiaokes really can't trouble them at all. They are not timid at all and directly communicate with the Liverpool fans.
Pinch it on.
After a tough battle in midweek, Liverpool's players are indeed not as physically fit as Chelsea's players, but Liverpool's players have nothing to worry about. They are still very confident in themselves and they will not lose.
In the locker room, Qiu Ze could clearly feel that the atmosphere in the locker room was very relaxed. His teammates were very confident and did not seem to be nervous at all about the impending war. Now, the atmosphere of the Liverpool team is very good.
.
In the locker room, Benitez made slight adjustments to his tactics for this game. Their formation for this game was no longer 4,231, but 4,42. This is Benitez
It was set up specifically for Chelsea today.
In the goalkeeper position, Spanish goalkeeper Reina is still the main starter of Liverpool. In the back four position, there are Finnan, Carragher, Daniel Agger and Arbeloa. This is the same as the previous one.
The defense line is exactly the same in every game, without any changes. It seems that Benitez is very optimistic about this defense line.
The four midfielders are Qiu Ze, Gerrard, Alonso and Riise. The changes in the midfield today are huge. No one thought that Benitez would actually use Qiu Ze.
Putting him on the wing is the biggest change for Liverpool today.
When people at the scene saw Liverpool's lineup today, they were all shocked. Yes, Qiu Ze's position has really changed too much. They don't know what kind of medicine Benitez is selling in this gourd?
They are also full of curiosity about this.
The two people on Liverpool's front line are Spanish forward Fernando Torres and Dutch forward Kuyt, who started together.
When Jose Mourinho saw Liverpool's lineup, he was also surprised. He did not expect that Benitez would put Qiu Ze on the wing today. Could it be that this guy was avoiding his powerful center?
What?
Perhaps in Benitez's mind, he believed that it would be difficult for Liverpool's midfielder to get a better chance against Chelsea's strong midfield defense, so he adjusted Qiu Ze to the wing.
Qiu Ze is a guy with relatively comprehensive abilities and fast speed. He can play on the wing, and on the wing, his threat will definitely not be less than that of him on the Chinese road. This is Benitez's idea.
Chelsea also had a 4-4-2 formation today. The goalkeeper was Petr Cech. The Czech is Chelsea's well-deserved goalkeeper. With him around, it would be difficult for other goalkeepers to stand out.
The four backs are Essien, Ben Iham, Terry and Ashley Cole. This is beyond everyone's expectations. Essien is called Makelele by Mourinho.
The guy who is the successor, how can he appear on the back line? Shouldn't he be in the defensive midfielder position?
After Benitez saw Essien's position, he was also surprised. He really didn't expect Jose Mourinho to make such an arrangement. Could it be that this guy had expected that he would put Qiu Ze on the wing?
Did he go? Or did this guy get some information that made him do this?
If it is the latter, then it means that there is probably a traitor in the team. He only announced this tactic in the locker room. It is difficult for the players to know, and only the members of the coaching staff know. Could it be that the coach is
Someone from the group leaked it?
Impossible, Benitez is very familiar with the people on his coaching staff, and they firmly believe that these people will not do such a thing.
Since we can rule out the possibility of a traitor, is this Jose Mourinho really such a god? He has already foreseen his own changes? Benitez was a little bit tongue-tied, is this not true?
In the four midfield positions, this is how Jose Mourinho arranged it today, with Wright-Phillips, Mikel, Lampard and Malouda.
Seeing these four people, Benitez knew why Jose Mourinho arranged this. It was because Wright and Phillips were both strong and weak, and even this guy had no defense. Therefore, Jose
?Mourinho asked Essien to serve as full-back just to protect Wright-Phillips.
From here, Benitez also saw that Chelsea's tactics were the same as theirs, which was to fight for the wings. Seeing this, Benitez couldn't help but sigh. He finally saw it, Jose Mourini
Austria doesn't dare to underestimate his midfield configuration.
Now it's better, both of them want to avoid the middle and go directly to the side road. They both want to go together, and now the two teams have to fight to the death on the side road.
