CHAPTER XXXV
"David vs Jose" has become a hot word in English football in the past two days. One of the two is to carry the prestige of the Champions League champion coach, drove to Stamford Bridge, dominated the golden storm in the transfer market this summer, formed a new Blues, and killed all sides from the beginning of the season, and won frequently on all fronts, and has been quite alone in the Premier League, gradually consolidating the position of a world-class coach. The other person is to help the Toffees explode in the new season after leading Everton to difficult relegation last season, after losing the striker, and now they are firmly standing in the top 4 of the Premier League, squeezing Liverpool out.
Although in football, those players are the ones who attract the most attention from fans. Sometimes, however, there are exceptions, and some of the best managers are often in the limelight and the adoration of the fans. For example, Bobby Charlton, Sachi, Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger and now David Moyes and Jose Mourinho. Although these two young coaches are still less prestigious and less prestigious than their predecessors, this does not prevent them from becoming irreplaceable people in their respective clubs and becoming the target of worship by fans.
Due to the excellent performances of Everton and Chelsea in the new season, the support of both teams among fans on both sides remains high. Jose Mourinho has been described among Chelsea fans as 'the man who led us to rise' and David Moyes has been dubbed their 'savior' by Toffee fans. After the topic of the dispute between the young marshals was stirred up, the confrontation between the fans of the two sides began.
"If we had that kind of money, David could have done better." "Jose is the head coach of the Champions League, David Moyes? What does he have? Third in the Premier League? Hum! "That Portuguese man has nothing but a mouth. What else will be? "Let's wait for Moyes to win the championship and then compare it with Jose. In front of José. He's nothing! ”……
The argument between the fans of both sides is getting more and more intense. Even the smell of gunpowder between each other is getting stronger and stronger. Slowly, fueled by the media, the duo and the players on both sides were inevitably drawn into the controversy. Among them, Mourinho's words brought the heat of this controversy to the top, "I am the European champion, God is me." As for David Moyes? He's a good manager. But sorry, I don't know where he stands. Between the words, Mourinho did not hide his pride and strength.
A list of opponents in his mind. It's Arsene Wenger, it's Alex Ferguson, it's a lot of other world-class managers, but there's no David Moyes among them. Maybe these words sound a little harsh and make outsiders feel uncomfortable. But Mourinho has never been a person who cares about what others think and think, and he never says something against his will. He is more willing to express his disdain than false greetings. their own pride, even their own arrogance. From the very beginning of his tenure as manager, Mourinho never wanted to be a saint, he just wanted to be honest and do his job. Be honest about what you think. He doesn't want to be a true or false gentleman or a villain, he just wants to be the truest version of himself.
But this kind of person is the most trouble-prone and has a special term for them. That's the "thorn in the head". And his remarks also successfully provoked great reaction and unhappiness on Everton's side again. "In this game. I'll sue him, the head is stronger than him! He's just a lucky madman! "Facing the microphone of the reporters. The core of the midfield of the Everton team, the bald head of the Danish midfielder known as the "mad dog", Graveson said viciously. In this way, the Chelsea players will certainly not sit idly by and watch him comment so arrogantly about their own manager, and in this way, the controversy will slowly become more and more explosive.
After the players on both sides kept speaking out in support of their head coaches, the reporters were so happy that they almost couldn't sleep at night, and for them this was the bonus. Among them, on the Chelsea side, what they are most looking forward to is naturally Lao Lei's speech. As everyone knows, Mourinho's most beloved disciple, the relationship between the two of them has become a good story under the publicity of the media. The two have been recited together for a long time from a down-and-out manager and an unknown academy player to a world-class superstar and a famous coach. No one will believe that the old ray will not support Mourinho. And considering the unique style of old Lei Pingsu, all English reporters are expecting him to say something amazing.
Lao Lei originally didn't want to wade into this troubled water, not that he didn't want to support Mourinho. It's just that he thinks this kind of trickery is too useless, and with this time and leisure, it is better to prepare more for this game. But he couldn't stand the fact that the English reporters were too powerful, and no matter how he hid, he was still surrounded by reporters. Looking at the dense microphones in front of him and the magnesium lights that made him unable to open his eyes, Lao Lei, who was already a little irritable because of Avril's affairs, finally couldn't help but speak. And because of the irritability in his heart, there was a lot of gunpowder in these words. "David Moyes? Who is he? I don't know about him. Best Manager? Head is always my first choice. ”
Lao Lei's words soon spread throughout England. "Who is he?" This sentence has also become widely known. Of course, no one would believe that Old Ray really didn't know Moyes. According to the popularity of this topic during this time, Lao Lei wants to know, unless he is a primitive person who lives the life of a cave man on the top of the mountain. As a result, the news that Old Ray did not take Moyes seriously became known in England. Such outspoken sarcasm and disdain naturally provoked strong resentment and anger on Everton's side.
"What right does he have to judge David? It's just a lackey, a Portuguese who dies for his luck! "That cousin who doesn't know the height of the sky, don't let me meet him on the street!" …… Words like this, full of gunpowder, keep squirting out of the mouths of Everton fans. It is reported that many Everton fans have expressed their desire to go to Stamford Bridge to support Everton and Moyes, and they hope that the team can strike a blow at the "ignorant" old Ray, Mourinho and Chelsea there. As Everton's results have gone from strength to strength, they have slowly gained that confidence in their hearts.
Chelsea fans will not rest on their laurels. For home fans, the last thing they welcome is those teams who are blatantly anti-guest-oriented. For this reason, Chelsea fans are also-for-tat, saying that they want to create the most terrifying devil's home stadium for Everton, so that they can know who they are. Chelsea's appearance in the new season has made the hearts of Chelsea fans more and more high, and they have turned their rivals and strong opponents into Manchester United, Arsenal and other giants. As for Everton, they really didn't pay attention to it, and the winning record at Stamford Bridge in the new season is the biggest reliance in their hearts.
In such a fierce atmosphere, the time finally came to the day of the competition. At this time, on the periphery of Stamford Bridge, it was already covered in blue, and it was almost impossible to see from afar. The reason why it's all blue is because the shirts worn by Everton fans are also blue, with only a difference in shades of colour compared to Chelsea. This is because, although Chelsea is currently known as the Blues, in the Premier League, Everton is also known as the Blues, and it has been known as this nickname since 1901.
It's not easy to tell in colour, but it's easy to tell who is a Chelsea fan and who's an Everton fan when you look at the banners they put up. I don't know if it was discussed in advance, but the slogan of every banner put up by Everton fans today is the same, that is, "Capture Chelsea". And these Everton fans gathered together in an organised manner, and the unscrupulous looks around them were naturally the Chelsea fans. The fiery and tense atmosphere of the scene also made the reporters who came to report the scene secretly speechless. In the past, Everton fans would only show such a spirit when Everton and Liverpool met.
At this time, the English media, which was already attentive, found that with the arrival of Chelsea during the Lao Lei and Mourinho periods, this team and club are becoming the public enemies of the Premier League like Manchester United. Manchester United are like this because they have been sitting on the Premier League throne for a long time, which is caused by jealousy. Chelsea, on the other hand, have three reasons. On the one hand, the world has a lot of envy and jealousy for local tyrants. The second is the jealousy of Chelsea's sudden rise. In addition, the last reason is the new hatred brought about by the character behavior of Mourinho and Lao Lei. They are like intruders who suddenly intrude into someone else's territory and want to replace them, causing everyone to resent them.
However, Lao Lei and Mourinho don't care about this. Although both are realists, they both have a little perfect romanticism in their hearts. That is, even if everyone hates me, so what, as long as I can conquer them, and the invincibility of not being zài is their pursuit. So strictly speaking, they can be counted as realistic romantics.
At this time, Mourinho, a romantic, is encouraging Chelsea players with his ideas and ideas. "Guys, I don't want to talk to you about me or that David who is better. Because, at all, this is a false proposition that does not make any sense. I and all of you belong to the same group, which is Chelsea. To take any of us out of it and talk about it separately is disrespectful to this group. Therefore, all the previous media talk is meaningless. But there's one thing I care about. 'Capture Stamford Bridge? 'Who do they think they are?' Where is this?! This is our territory!! Go sue them, guys! It's not Everton's turn to call the shots here!! They don't have that qualification!! Go and sue them for this truth!!! That's the truth!!! (To be continued......)
