'Abramovich arrives in Nottingham and will watch the game live......

This is the latest report from the Nottingham Evening Post on the Forest-Chelsea game. This piece of information is as eye-catching as Mourinho who led the team to Nottingham in the sports edition, the two stood together for half of the country, and the other half of the version belonged to Tony? Donn's.

The editor's intention is obvious, so that readers don't have to look at the text to understand the meaning behind the news - these three men are the real focus of attention in this game.

“…… This game is very important for Mourinho, and now that Roman Abramovich has suddenly come to Nottingham to watch the game, we have to wonder if the result of this game will have anything to do with Mourinho's position? There are a lot of rumors about Mourinho's imminent departure, and although Mourinho is always refuting and refuting, this seems to have become the default fact - facing Nottingham Forest, which he has not yet won, facing Toney? Donne, if Mourinho loses this game......"

Donn threw the newspaper away.

He saw Mourinho push the door open from the outside, walking in a hurry, his heavy coat was brought up, apparently just coming off the training ground.

His team is on the pitch outside for acclimatisation and he's here for the pre-match press conference.

Don stood up and held out his hand to Mourinho. It was a look, and he couldn't remember the two men actually shaking hands before the press conference.

Unexpectedly, Mourinho handed out his hand and shook it with Donne. But he kept a straight face and didn't say anything polite. Knowing that he had been in trouble lately, Don didn't say anything sarcastic. At this time, the two managers just need to do their part and lead the team to win the game. As for the fate of others...... I'll talk about it when the game is over.

The two did not have any conversation in private, and went directly to the press conference.

The media gathered in the press room saw the two protagonists entering, raised their cameras and pointed them at them and pressed the shutter.

The two sat on the stage and waited for the reporters to shoot enough before they began to answer questions.

Although this time it was Forest's home stadium, Mourinho, as a guest, received a lot of attention than Donne. Because there have been so many rumors about him lately. In more than three seasons at Chelsea, Mourinho has already put his personal mark on the Chelsea team. Almost everyone is used to the "Mourinho = Chelsea, Chelsea = Mourinho" relationship, and it's hard to imagine what Chelsea would be like without him.

His predecessors such as Ruud Gullit, Vialli, Ranieri and others have not made such a deep impression on people, in addition to the increasingly developed media, I am afraid that the most important reason is that Mourinho's surname is really very, very strong and unique.

No one cares about the game against Nottingham Forest, everyone cares about Mourinho's conflict with Abramovich, the conflict with certain players, and the conflict with Grant......

"May I ask Mr. Mourinho, does Abramovich come to Nottingham to watch the game, does that mean ......"

'Chelsea is his team, isn't it normal for Mr. Chairman to want to come and watch the game?'

"Rumor has it that ......"

"I'm not interested in answering the rumors."

'So the fact that Chelsea haven't had a very good season is ......

'Any team has its ups and downs, Arsenal have lost 49 games and AC Milan have lost 58 games, so why shouldn't Chelsea lose?' Mourinho replied with a straight face.

"About the recent ...... about your departure"

"I said I had no interest in answering the rumors."

The atmosphere at the press conference was a little stiff. It's rare that Donn didn't fall into the trap next to him, and he kept looking at Mourinho with a cold face. Until this time...... He stood up suddenly, took the microphone in his hand and didn't know the media:

"I'm so sorry, I think I'm in the wrong place. Everybody, please continue. ”

After speaking, he turned around and walked off the stage and walked directly out of the door of the press conference.

Almost everyone didn't expect that Don En, who had been silent, would explode at this time, and he was all stunned. Only Mourinho glanced at Donne's back, and then stood up as well: "I was reminded by Mr. Don like this, and I also found out that I went to the wrong place, sorry to disturb you, goodbye." ”

With that, he walked out of the door like Donn. Hung a room full of reporters in place, and didn't come to their senses.

Donn was outside when he heard footsteps coming from behind, and when he looked back to see that it was Mourinho, he suddenly laughed.

"You are on the stage alone, how can you say that you will put it down?"

"I don't mind giving it to you if you like it." Mourinho grimaced and pointed to the open door behind him.

The atmosphere between the two suddenly returned to normal.

"Forget it, I'm afraid that those reporters won't be able to say what I asked, and they will leave the venue en masse." Don sneered.

Mourinho was noncommittal to Donne's words, saying: "Goodbye, Mr. Donn. "He's going to the stadium to oversee the team's training, so there's no time to hang out with Don here.

Seeing Mourinho turn to leave, Don suddenly shouted, "Hey, Mr. Mourinho." ”

"Is there anything going on, Mr. Donn?" Mourinho turned to look at him.

"Can we have a drink together after the game?"

Mourinho didn't expect Don to say such a thing, he was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "I must have been out of the auditory hallucinations." But no, I don't drink with the enemy, even after the game...... If I had won, I would probably have said yes. ”

Tang En shook his head: "That's not good, if you win, I'll refuse." You can't win, though. ”

Mourinho didn't say anything more and turned to leave.

Don stood at the door and watched for a while and was about to leave, but he heard a dense sound of footsteps, he looked back and saw that the reporters had all run out of the press conference, and hurriedly waved his hand: "I said I went to the wrong place, so I don't accept any interviews!" ”

A group of people stopped three meters in front of him.

"We have the right to ask questions!" Someone in the crowd shouted.

"So I also have the right to refuse to answer." Donn shrugged, "Goodbye, guys. ”

Don also walked through the same door that Mourinho had left.

※※※

Donne and Mourinho's refusal to cooperate in the press conference upset many of the media, as they had nothing to catch the eye the day before the game other than fried cold rice.

So they hyped two people to quit one after another, criticizing both of them for having no manners. It's just that such news is a rarity for Don and Mourinho, and their supporters don't take it seriously, let alone themselves.

Xania took the newspaper and studied it for a long time, then raised her head and said to Donne, "That means that if he can't win this game, there is a ninety-nine percent chance of getting out of class?" ”

Don shrugged: "It's possible, it's a matter in someone's house, and no one knows behind closed doors." No matter how many rumors there are, it's useless. ”

'So what if he wins, will he be able to stay at Chelsea?'

This time, Don shook his head very firmly: "Impossible. Ah, I'm not saying he can't win. Rather, even if Chelsea win against Nottingham Forest, he won't be able to do it for a long time. ”

"You just said that the rumors outside are not credible."

"It has nothing to do with the rumors, I'm just looking at the surnames of him and Abramovich...... These two people can't work together for long. ”

"Because they're all very good people?"

Tang En nodded: "They are all strong, they all want to be strong, no one is willing to give in, they are not willing to suffer, they are not willing to lose face...... That's how things will turn out. Shania, have you ever heard of a Chinese idiom? One mountain does not tolerate two tigers. ”

"I haven't heard of it, what do you mean?"

That is to say, two tigers cannot be allowed in a mountain, and the tiger is the king of all beasts, and here it means to be a leader. You can't have two leaders at the same time, otherwise no one will listen to the other, and it will be chaotic. That's the case at Chelsea. Abramovich and Mourinho are both tigers and both want to be bosses. Jose Mourinho believes he doesn't have enough power and trust, while Roman Abramovich believes Mourinho's presence has threatened his authority at the club...... That's how it turned out. He spread his hands.

Shania rolled her eyes after hearing this, and suddenly smiled: "But in my opinion, Uncle Tony is also a big tiger!" Ahh ”

"Hey!" Don narrowed his eyes, made tiger claw movements with both hands, and roared in a thick voice, "Where am I scary? ”

"It's now!" Shania pointed at Done, shrunk on the sofa, curled up, hugged the pillow, and looked at Don in front of her with big eyes.

Seeing her cute appearance, although he knew that he was pretending, Don's heart still beat a few times faster. His hands on his hips froze.

Shania noticed that Don was suddenly stunned, and she reached out and shook it in front of Don's eyes. "Uncle Tony?"

"Huh? Ah......h

"What's wrong with you, Uncle Tony?" Shania leaned on Donn's shoulder and asked strangely.

Tang En could clearly feel the body temperature coming through his clothes, and smelled the girl's body fragrance, and he suddenly became upset. Suddenly stood up from the couch: "Uh, my head is a little dizzy, maybe I'm too tired." I'm going to rest, there's a game tomorrow......"

With that, he walked upstairs, and halfway through, he stopped and looked back at Shania, who was still looking at him on the couch.

"You should rest early, don't watch TV too late."

Shania looked at him and didn't answer.

"Good night, Shania." Don waved at her.

"Good night, Uncle Tony......" Shania waved the Totoro pillow in her hand.

After Don walked upstairs and heard the sound of the door closing, Shania looked at the Totoro pillow in her hand and sighed.

"Good night, Totolo." She waved Totoro's arm and imitated Totoro and said, "Good night, Little Joe." ”

She put down her pillow, got up, turned off the TV, and walked upstairs.

As in London, on the day of the game, it rained lightly in Nottingham, which was still relatively clear, and there was no sign of stopping, and the temperature plummeted by three degrees from early morning to afternoon.

Soccer is not a weather-dependent sport, but a sudden drop in temperature could increase the likelihood of injuries to players. Therefore, in the last warm-up before the game, Mourinho asked the team to increase the intensity of the warm-up, completely move the body, and warm up, so as not to get injured due to the temperature dropping.

Chelsea's assistant coach, Jose Mourinho's most trusted Steve? Clark directed and supervised the team's warm-up from the sidelines, and their head coach was not on the sidelines but stayed in the locker room. However, he stayed in the locker room not because of habit, but because someone was looking for him.

"Jose, I need a good win. Especially when facing this opponent. "The owner of the club, the president, Mr. Abramovich, showed up where he wasn't supposed to be in his casual clothes.

"Yes, victory, it will be as you wish, Mr. Chairman." Mourinho replied politely, a little too politely.

"I guess I didn't understand enough? It was a beautiful victory, Jose. ”

'But it's away, it's Nottingham Forest's home game, it's not easy for us to play, Mr. President.' Mourinho unceremoniously pushed back.

Abramovich's face was a little ugly.

"This is my team and I want her to win beautifully!"

Mourinho made a "please" gesture: "The players will be back in a while, why don't you come and explain the tactics to them, and then sit in the dugout and direct the game, Mr. President?" ”

This is a great disrespect to the president of the club and the most unacceptable fact for those in high positions - his authority has indeed been seriously challenged.

Abramovich didn't get angry in front of him, he left with a gloomy face. Not far out of the dressing room, he called Mendes, a close friend and agent of Mourinho.

Mourinho was sitting in a chair in the dressing room and frowning, he wasn't angry, he was just thinking seriously about his future.

※※※

Fifteen minutes later, when the starters of both teams stepped out of the corridor and onto the pitch, there was a huge cheer from the stands of the City Stadium, and even the rain was disturbed.

Jose Mourinho and Don En appeared at the exit at the same time, and the TV camera immediately cut a shot to the two of them, so they gave up on continuing to broadcast the players in. Mourinho kept a straight face, pouting slightly, without the slightest smile. Don was smiling and confident. Although Jose Mourinho is a world-renowned manager, and although Chelsea have many world-renowned stars, Done and Forest do have a psychological advantage in playing this team.

"Tony? Donn and Jose? Mourinho ......" the TV commentator sighed, "This is the seventh time that two of the Premier League's most talented young managers have met in the league. Previously, Mourinho had never won against Toney? Dawn. It was undoubtedly an embarrassment for the proud Portuguese. Not only in the league, but in the semi-finals of last season's Champions League, it was Tony? Downe's Nottingham Forest kept Chelsea out of Athens. Mourinho has a good reason to go to Tony? Don settles accounts, not to mention that he hasn't been doing well lately......"

Mourinho and Don didn't shake hands and talk before the game, and went their separate ways, one to the left and the other to the right.

The hazy drizzle was still falling.

A cold and rainy night at Nottingham could well be Mourinho's final 90 minutes at Chelsea.
