Jose. Jose Mourinho (jose_mourinho).

Portuguese.

He used to be an interpreter for Robson when he was coaching in Barcelona and also worked as a translator for Louis van Gaal. He officially started his coaching career with Portuguese powerhouse Benfica, but resigned after nine games due to disagreements with the board. He then coached the Portuguese underdog Leria, which allowed the team to fifth place in the league in half a season, setting the best result in the club's history.

In January 2002, he became the head coach of Porto, another powerhouse in Portugal, and helped the team bounce back from poor form in the first half of the season and eventually finished third in the league.

In 2003, Jose Mourinho won the treble by winning the league, cup and league cup in his first full season in charge of a team.

2004 was one of the highlights of Jose Mourinho's managerial career, as he not only defended the league title but also reached the final of the European Cup, beating Monaco by three goals to lead the team to the top of Europe.

In his first season with Chelsea, he helped them win the league title for the first time in half a century.

Chelsea defended their league title in 2006.

It was Mourinho's accolade, but the glamorous manager is in big trouble right now.

Chelsea have a poor record in the league and have suffered the same problems in the Champions League group stage as Forest, with one draw and one defeat in the first two games of the group stage, with no wins. It was also in the third game that the victory was ushered in, saving a "match point". Some media in England compared these two people together, saying that both of them are very young, very good and talented. But now two of the young coaches here are facing a serious challenge in their coaching careers.

On the surface, it is. Nottingham Forest and Chelsea's recent results have been inconsistent, with good and bad results. But if you look at the essence through the phenomenon. You will find that Don Enco is much happier than Mourinho. Because the owners of the Forest team trust and support Donn. The Forest team problem is just a problem at a competitive level and it is easy to solve. Chelsea's problems have nothing to do with athleticism, but with Mourinho and Roman Abramovich, two of whom are unruly personalities. Once it is related to people's personalities, there is no solution to this problem.

Since Chelsea's 1-1 draw at home to underdogs Rosenborg in the first game of the Champions League group stage on 18 September, rumours of Jose Mourinho's sacking have continued. There is a lot of news outside, Mourinho and Abramovich have a bad relationship, Mourinho has a bad relationship with Ballack and Shepchenko. Mourinho and Grant don't have a good relationship......

There is a lot of negative news.

But Mourinho still led the team to this point and was not really dismissed.

Don doesn't usually care much about Mourinho, anyway, the media will always report on him, and you can get an idea of it once in a while. Only this time, he couldn't pay attention to it if he didn't want to. Because Mourinho is on the doorstep.

On 11 November, Singles' Day, Nottingham Forest host Chelsea.

As soon as the Champions Cup was played, there was media hyping up the Forest team's eight-goal massacre of Besiktas. Start hyping up this league between Chelsea and Forest. This match is not the most eye-catching if it is only a meeting between two teams, because at the same time, there is also a matchup between Arsenal and Manchester United.

This schedule makes the media feel that it is very valuable to speculate.

Before Mourinho came to England from Portugal, he was in the field of Tony. Donn was still a "Puritan" on the Forest's youth team. Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger and Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson have always been a special spectacle in the Premier League, and their feud could be written in ten books, made into five films, and then turned into a video game product. Some Chinese media once described the relationship between the two men as "insulting each other". This idiom is a brilliant change, and it shows the complex relationship between these two people - they are mortal enemies, but they are also the people who know each other best. It's really complicated, and it can't be simply boiled down to friends or enemies, and it's not a "hero". This inexplicable relationship is due to the different positions of the two of them, and it is also due to the personalities of the two people.

These two people can be described as the most famous and classic rivals in world football.

Their war of words lasted almost a decade with the Premier League, until the arrival of Jose Mourinho in 2004 broke the delicate bond between the two men. After Mourinho arrived at Chelsea, he frequently launched psychological warfare offensives. Both Arsene Wenger and Ferguson became the target of his attack, and the battle for supremacy became a trilogy.

The good times didn't last long, and a year later, Nottingham Forest was in Tony. Don Grace led him back to the Premier League, and now the Premier League dugout looks even better.

Tony. Don was a man of eccentric temper and character, his sharp teeth were not inferior to those of his predecessors, and his appearance excited the British tabloids. Some people likened him to a "mad dog" - he bites people when he sees them, and he can't run away as long as he is an opponent.

The "Three Kingdoms" became the "Four Heavenly Kings". There are also people who prefer to separate the four into two pairs. Ferguson and Arsene Wenger represent the last decade of the Premier League. Jose Mourinho and Done represent the next decade of the Premier League, or beyond...... Readers and fans in England will never have to worry about Ferguson's retirement. They will be lonely, and tabloid reporters will not have to worry about running out of off-the-field tidbits to report.

In the past, Arsene Wenger and Alex Ferguson have certainly attracted the most attention. But this time, they were overshadowed by two young men.

There are so many reasons why this game is in the spotlight.

"Madman vs. Madman".

"The record that embarrassed Mourinho - to Tony. Donn's winless record".

Mourinho and Tony. Donn's ultimate showdown? The last headline, which was used by a media outlet in London, was more than sensational. From many indications there are many indications that this match is likely to be Mourinho and Toney. Donne's last meeting in the Premier League.

Mourinho's hair on the top of his head has turned gray a lot lately, and his beard has grown unconsciously. His eyes were still sharp and awe-inspiring, and he pursed his lips, and the expression on his face was as sharp as a Greek marble carving.

But this gives people a feeling that "the hero's end is strong".

The man who came to Stamford Bridge with the honor and aura of the "European Champions Cup Champion Coach". We are in the midst of an unprecedented crisis. The dressing room has been divided, with a group at his core and a group at the heart of Roman Abramovich pulling Chelsea in half. He used to have a headache on how to deal with opponents on the pitch, but now he has to worry about how to win the tug-of-war with the club president – even if it's only at a stage.

At the beginning of November, a hazy drizzle had begun to fall frequently in London. The nickname "Fog Capital" was born because of the exhaust gases emitted from the factory chimneys in the city of London in the early days of the Industrial Revolution.

Stamford Bridge was empty, it wasn't a matchday, and there was no one but a few visitors and staff.

At this time. There is a black dot on the blue ground stands. He was the only person in the stadium at this time.

Jose. Jose Mourinho sits alone at Stamford Bridge's 'Matthew. Right in the middle of the Harding' stand, this is the north stand at Stamford Bridge, which is now the home team's fan stand. Opposite him is the famous South Stand, once the 'Sid' Stand, a favourite spot for hardcore Blues fans.

The Portuguese, dressed in his famous "Armani" trench coat, sat motionless in the stands in the drizzle. He crossed his hands and cushioned his chin, like a statue of a "thinker".

He's been sitting here for ten minutes.

An hour earlier, he had a private meeting with the club's owner, Roman Abramovich. No one knew about it. He wasn't going to tell anyone.

Abramovich's face is very unsightly, apparently because of the team's poor record recently. Generally speaking, when a team's performance is not good, it needs to find the first person responsible, and it must be the head coach. No matter how brilliant the manager has been before. Honour can only represent the past – and that's an unbreakable truth in professional football.

Unfortunately, Mourinho has now experienced the brutal truth of football firsthand.

Roman Abramovich was unhappy that he had led the team for four years without winning the trophy as promised. In the fourth game of the Champions League group stage, Chelsea were unable to find the back of the net from Schalke on the road. Abramovich's favorite Shepchenko sat on the bench for 90 minutes.

During the meeting, Roman Abramovich asked Mourinho why he did not consider sending Shepchenko on the pitch when his team's attack could not open up the situation. Mourinho replied in a somewhat hard tone: "The Ukrainian had muscle soreness during the pre-match warm-up, Mr. President. 'Fools know it's an excuse and Abramovich was furious that Mourinho was playing him like a fool, but he suppressed his anger and instead asked about the league situation, especially against an embarrassing opponent for Chelsea. When Chelsea swept through England, the only team they didn't win was Nottingham Forest.

It's a record that makes all Chelseans uncomfortable. The same goes for Jose Mourinho. He was a haughty man, and he couldn't accept the reality that he couldn't defeat someone like Donn for three years.

"I promise to win this game, Mr. President. This time, his answer was one that Abramovich liked to hear.

In fact, it doesn't matter if he doesn't guarantee it, anyway, if he loses to Don En again, his life will definitely not be easy.

But to be honest, the talks have made Mourinho's bad mood even more gloomy lately, just like the weather in London right now. He knows what kind of person his immediate boss is, because he is that kind of person himself. The fatal problem is that people with this personality simply can't work together for too long, otherwise there will be a lot of conflicts. Big or small. Adding up to the end is the beginning of a crash.

And he could already hear the sound of rubble falling from the cornerstone.

Crack Crack, Crack Crack......

Jose Mourinho looked up at the roof above. The raindrops hit it and made a dense sound. Only then did he notice that the rain was getting heavier and heavier.

A man in a yellow raincoat appeared under the stands. He noticed that there was an extra person in the originally empty stands, stared at it for a while, and found that it was the head coach of the team. Hurriedly waved his hand and shouted, "Sir! Mr. Mourinho! Why are you here? ”

Mourinho got up from his seat, walked to the railing, and said in the face of the rain that fell from the sky: "Ah, I suddenly wanted to take a walk, so I came here." Am I interrupting your work? ”

The other party waved his hand: "No." Not at all. I'm just here to make a round. He saw that the rain was drenching Mourinho's hair and coat, so he pointed to the sky, "Rain, sir." ”

Mourinho followed his hand and looked up to the sky, the cold rain hitting his face, but he didn't hide, just squinted.

"Thanks, it's not raining too much...... Then I take my leave. Goodbye......" he glanced at the other man's face covered under his raincoat. “…… Scott. Mr. Lawrence. ”

The other party obviously didn't expect that he was an ordinary player turf maintenance worker, and the famous coach Mourinho would be able to call his name, and he was stunned in place with excitement for a while. By the time he returned, Mourinho was gone.

Scott. Lawrence looked around the stadium stands and saw Mourinho's black figure around no corner. The conversation was gone. Stamford Bridge was quiet again, with nothing but the rustling of rain.

Although this ordinary stadium turf maintenance worker is also a member of the whole club, he is the most ordinary and ordinary member. The work they do is the most important. But no one will mention their names anywhere. He didn't expect Mourinho, a local coach he had never been in contact with before, to be able to accurately call his name.

I remembered what Mourinho looked like when I saw him down here, almost wrapped in a black Armani trench coat, sitting alone in the huge stands, and the black dot in the middle of the huge blue looked very small.

Lawrence remembered the rumors that had been circulating lately.

The man's days at Stamford Bridge seem to be in the countdown? Roman Abramovich is his boss and the one who pays him, but he's a Chelsea fan and if you have to let him choose. The one he would rather go away from was Abramovich. And not this man.

But what can he do? He's just an ordinary pitch turf maintenance worker. He can't influence the club's decisions. He also couldn't play to help the team win and get the manager out of a crisis of confidence.

Only...... Good luck, Mr. Mourinho.

When Jose Mourinho arrived at Nottingham the next day with Chelsea, the media flocked to him in the middle, and many of the questions that concern him were thrown at him.

"Mr. Mourinho, is the news from outside about your upcoming class real?"

'I don't want to answer questions from the future, at least now I'm the manager of this team. ”

"Mr. Mourinho. It is rumored that you have a deep conflict with Abramovich......"

"We have a great time working together. There is no contradiction at all. Of course he is the president of the club and he has the right to say something about his team. ”

"About Grant ......"

"You have to ask him his questions. ”

"Let's talk about the game against Forest. Mr. Mourinho. Will Shepchenko play? And you haven't beaten Tony yet. Don ......"

Hearing this, Mourinho stopped squeezing out, he stood down and looked at the reporter who asked the question. He had the impression of being a sports reporter for a local newspaper in Nottingham.

"Ukrainians may or may not play. As for how I've never won Tony. Dawn? Then everything will be history. He added, "Tomorrow night." ”

After saying that, he didn't answer any more questions, broke through under the heavy siege of reporters, and entered the hotel with the team.

A group of reporters were not reconciled, raised the camera in their hands, and took a wild shot at Mourinho's back.

Under the clattering flashlight, the back of the man in the black Armani trench coat was the only focal point. Whenever the flash lights on, he is the most dazzling figure, but when the flash goes out, he blends into the black background, making it difficult to distinguish.

Eventually, the creator of Chelsea's miracle empire descended into darkness where even the lights could no longer shine.
