The photo of Lao Lei showing off his muscles became the focus of discussion after the game. His spring breeze triumphant, and McLaren's iron-blue face, became a comical composition. Fans of Lao Ray even drew a funny cartoon based on this, showing off Godzilla in Chelsea No. 13, and frightened a middle-aged man in England who was wearing only a pair of Western Corners, blonde hair, thin and trembling. The fan also voiced the two characters with dialogue, with Godzilla saying "Hey, sir, am I like a thug?" McLaren, on the other hand, stammered back with tears in his eyes, "No, no, don't, don't eat me!" "From the moment the fan uploaded the cartoon to the Internet, it immediately became popular, with clicks and views rising directly, bringing a lot of joy to the whole of England.

Of course, this is just a small episode of this game, and it is not the whole story. When the referee blew the final whistle, the score on the score board was fixed at 2:0. In the 85th minute of the second half, Lao Lei took a free kick in front, and Kezman in front of the goal grabbed the first drop point and scored with a header, snuffing out the signs of Middlesbrough trying to fight back. 2-0, Chelsea beat Middlesbrough at home to make it four wins in a row on the Christmas schedule. It also allowed them to maintain a double-digit advantage over Arsenal, whose four-game winning streak did not allow them to shorten the gap with Chelsea.

After the game, the most commented on the game was that "Remayr saved Chelsea". The impact that Ray has had for Chelsea in just 20 minutes has been immediate, obvious. This is to win another piece of praise and cheers for Lao Lei. At the post-match press conference, Mourinho was also full of praise for his proud disciple. The table xiàn of the game against the old ray. "He's definitely a great player, even though he's only 23 years old. His career has only just begun. If such an expression is not great, then I don't know what the standard of greatness is? Oh, by the way, the 'great' coach sitting next to me who lost the game, maybe he has an answer, you can ask him, the 'great' Mr. McLaren! ”

Mourinho praised Lao Lei this time. and sarcastically sarcastic McLaren's words were directly angry with McLaren, who turned pale with anger. For this reason, facing McLaren's angry back, he also spread his hands, the corners of his mouth turned down, and made a vivid expression that was obviously innocent, but actually disdainful. At this time, the reporters were just pressing the shutter desperately, and they had no time to argue for McLaren. It's like the guy who cheered McLaren on before the game. Not themselves, but clones of themselves.

No matter how much the journalists fuss, it was a happy moment for Chelsea. Because they can finally let go of their tense nerves and relax their bodies. The next game will be at home to League One side Scunthorpe in the FA Cup five days later. Before that. The whole Chelsea squad will have two days off to rest and spend time with their families.

on this. Mi Ji raised her hands in approval. You must know that this cute little girl has cursed the FA I don't know how many times during this time. In her opinion. It's this group of nasty people who deprive themselves of Christmas time with their brothers. For this reason, Lao Lei also made a promise early that he would accompany her to play well in these two days.

After taking Mi Ji to have a good tour of London, on January 10, 2005, Lao Lei reluctantly sent away Cintia and his party. Prior to that, a result had already been reached in the third round of the FA Cup between Chelsea and Scanthorpe. Chelsea, who were in charge, managed to knock out their opponents with a score of 3:1. Although Mourinho sent an all-substitute line-up, it was enough for Scanthorpe, an opponent in League One. They were pressed by Chelsea throughout the game, only to save face in the 86th minute with a set-piece opportunity and a header from their centre-forward in the chaos of the battle.

After that, the fourth round of the FA Cup will be played at the end of January. That means Chelsea can put the cup on the back burner for the time being. The most important fixture in front of Chelsea at this time will be the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final against Manchester United. There is no doubt that this will be an uphill battle. With no hope of winning the league title, I believe that Manchester United and Ferguson will not give up the League Cup lightly. What's more, this is already Cheng Dù, who has reached the semi-finals, and there are only three games left before the final championship trophy, and no one will give up lightly.

In the first leg, Chelsea will host the Red Devils at home. There is no doubt that this is a tournament that has attracted the attention of the whole of England. Due to the strong rise of Chelsea this season, the pattern of the Premier League has suddenly changed from the past two-man hegemony to the current one. In such a situation, the outside world is naturally most concerned about who will be the new king of England. So far, Chelsea have beaten Liverpool twice, winning once against Arsenal and Manchester United. With Liverpool weak, it is natural that the burden of holding Chelsea back is on Arsenal and Manchester United.

Although the Carabao Cup is only a chicken rib competition, even so, there are many who hope that Alex Ferguson's United can stop Chelsea's multi-front rush and invincible shape this season. And that's what Ferguson wanted to do, and with Raymond suspended, United had the best chance to beat Chelsea. It may seem unfair, but football is never about fair play, and winning is the only thing that matters. It's like there is a good saying, "The winner represents a qiē".

This season, though, in the league, Chelsea have completely left Manchester United behind. The huge point difference between the two teams makes the possibility of Manchester United winning the title almost theoretical. But Alex Ferguson and his Manchester United never played the role of obedience. While many people are now marveling that 'the Chelsea era has arrived', it is nothing to Lord Fro. For this hard-working old man with a pacemaker, he has already experienced too much in his coaching career. The seemingly difficult difficulties in front of him were nothing to him at all.

The old man's fighting spirit and ambition have never weakened in any way, and he is still the same Ferguson who shouted "My greatest achievement is to pull Liverpool off the throne of Tamar". Although United is in the throes of a post-Beckham era, the old man's ambition to rebuild the Reds has never changed. Despite having Chelsea as a strong spoiler, he is still full of confidence. For him, sniping at Chelsea starts with the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup.

So, for this League Cup, he is bound to win. In an interview before the game, he said strongly to reporters: "Champions, we are Manchester United, and championships are our traditions. We don't chase anything but the championship. Chelsea? Of course, this is a difficult opponent, and we are indeed at a historical low point at the moment. But don't forget, we are Manchester United and Manchester United can beat any opponent. Jose Mourinho and his Chelsea are doing well, and Remaia is really top-notch.

However, this is England, and they have not been here for a year. Compared to Manchester United, they are still a bit immature. I believe they can learn something from us in this game. What's more, at this time, I think they should care more about the Champions League and the league. It feels good to go hand in hand with multiple lines, but it is inevitable that you will be distracted. Because sometimes, if you ask for too much, you often end up getting none of them, and this will be our advantage. ”

The old Scottish man with a red nose in front of the camera talks eloquently with an elderly posture. Those who are familiar with him know that this old fox has started the pre-game psychological offensive again. Ferguson's psychological offensive has been famous all over the world since 1996. No one will forget how United miraculously came back from 16 points behind Newcastle that year. In this miracle process, Ferguson's fierce and unrelenting psychological offensive against the then Newcastle manager Keegan made a lot of contributions.

So in this regard, Mourinho did not dare to slack off. On the one hand, he was training the team in a closed field and not allowing reporters to interfere with their preparations, and on the other hand, he stood up and engaged in a war of words with Ferguson, shifting the focus of media attention from the players to him. In response to Ferguson's series of remarks, Mourinho responded mercilessly: "What do we learn from them? At least, we won't learn from them how to win. I can even think that he and Manchester United are not afraid of us, even if Reima is not available. I can understand that they want to influence our thinking from the sidelines, after all, who makes them weak to us! So I can totally understand that. ”

Mourinho's response immediately drew a strong response from Ferguson. It's just that I don't know if it's still psychological tactics this time, or if I'm really angry with Mourinho, who has "no one in my eyes". In any case, the war of words between the two has attracted the attention of the media. In the past, they could only see the two-man rotation of Ferguson and Wenger, but after seeing more later, it naturally lacked freshness. But since the arrival of Mourinho, who is not inferior to Ferguson, their passion has been completely ignited. At least what they see now is a three-legged situation.

Not to mention how the head coaches of the two sides fought a war of words, the outside world speculated about the outcome of this game, and there are also different opinions. It can be said that in the eyes of the outside world, this time the two teams should be on par with each other, and it is difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser.

And in this regard, the Times has one of the most classic arguments.

"Without Godzilla, Chelsea is no longer 'Chelsea'!" (To be continued......)
