Many people think that Mourinho was only selected by Chelsea after winning the Champions League in 04, and it seems that the Champions League final is regarded as an "interview assessment".

This is wrong.

And it's obvious.

May 27 is the Champions League final, and in the original history, Mourinho officially took office on June 2, with less than a week in between.

Even if Abu is a complete layman, he will not rush into making a decision that will affect the club in a week.

As a billionaire in charge of a billion-pound business, preliminary investigation, consideration, and careful consideration, such a job is a necessary process, and the decision is made with a hot head, this kind of person is impossible to achieve great things, and it takes a long time to buy a player, and it will not be decided by a game table, let alone a coach?

When did Chelsea's manager selection begin?

It started after the New Year, as Chelsea said goodbye to the league title and couldn't catch up with Arsenal and Millwall in the table.

Abu became strangers to Erickson.

The people in the club can see the change in their status from many details.

Eriksen naively thought that if he won the Champions League, he would save his position, which was also a mistake.

In the process of Chelsea entering the knockout stage to play in the Champions League, Eriksen's club status plummeted, such as the arrangement of seats on the plane, the accompanying officials, players, coaches, plus team doctors and other staff, 24 rows of seats, Eriksen was placed from the 8th row to the 18th row, at that time, he knew that he was starting to be marginalized.

It was also from that time on. Chelsea's continuing 'football revolution' also left Eriksen out.

New Year's time. Alien Ronaldo came to London to watch the Chelsea match against Liverpool. and asked to meet with Abu, who informed the Real Madrid club, which provoked Florentino to be very angry and gave Ronaldo a notice not to act rashly, but the alien still disobeyed the helm of Real Madrid and took the initiative to throw an olive branch to Chelsea, hinting that he was willing to join Stamford Bridge to participate in Abu's revolutionary army!

Synchronism. Chelsea's new CEO Peter Kenyon took office, the former Manchester United executive and Abu are planning a plan to bring Beckham back to London, Kenyon has a close relationship with Becky, and it is Kenyon who made Beckham recognize clearly that in Manchester United, after he and Ferguson turned against each other, the person who must leave is Becky, not Ferguson, so Kenyon is confident that Beckham will be brought back to London, and Beckham also made a ** remark at the end of March. It has been hinted that he could return to the Premier League when the time comes.

The time is ripe. But what Chelsea don't have for the time being, that is, a full-fledged football business platform.

Mo said that digging Xiaobei is just a bold idea, even if Xiaobei himself agrees, his entire brokerage team behind the scenes will prevent Xiaobei from taking action, if that happens, Xiaobei's commercial value will shrink quickly and significantly, the same way, Millwall's superstar, when Chelsea paid for it, the first to react was not Millwall Club, it was the sponsors who had a relationship with them, and they would not be happy to see that their top stars with commercial contracts went to Stamford Bridge, at least, Until Chelsea truly become a giant, none of these international corporate sponsors will allow it.

In England, if the management excludes the manager from the team-building plan, either the manager is completely hollowed out, or the manager's future is a foregone conclusion, the latter is Eriksen's situation.

Jose Mourinho was one of Europe's most sought-after managers before he led the team to knock out Manchester United and Lyon and was set to clash with Deportivo La Coruna.

Florentino was also chasing Mourinho at the time, and while Chelsea's selection included Mourinho, there were other candidates, such as in April, when Monaco coach Didier Deschamps and Ajax technical director Louis van Gaal sat in the VIP box at Stamford Bridge to watch Chelsea's match with Everton and pose for a photo with Kenyon.

Real Madrid's pursuit of Mourinho was sincere, as Florentino met a formidable opponent in the campaign, Sabarino, a wealthy lawyer from Madrid, who heads a business consortium that includes 18 influential royals, and Sabarino said in his campaign platform: "Beckham must go, I will listen to the offer for him." ”

Real Madrid's poor season has made it imperative for Florentino to bring fresh energy to the team, and Mourinho is his choice.

Due to the addition of Real Madrid, Chelsea's side has become more attentive to Mourinho and increased its attention, which is naturally indispensable to Mourinho's agent Mendes's long-sleeved dance.

So, when the Champions League semi-finals were in full swing, Chelsea representatives and Mourinho's agent Mendes held a secret meeting in Spain, and the meeting lasted for seven hours!

During the period, Porto handed a complaint to FIFA, denouncing Chelsea for reaching out to Mourinho, FIFA is very embarrassed, seducing the player, they are very decisive, but, seducing the manager, this, it is difficult to say that it is within the scope of their trial, because the transfer of players is clearly stipulated in the industry, and the head coach does not exist zài "transfer", the operation mode of many enterprises in society is the same, the boss is not satisfied, the coach is fired, the coach wants to leave, then jump ship, the economic dispute in the middle, As long as the contract is stipulated, Chelsea are not short of buying out the wealth of Mourinho's contract.

Prior to May, Mourinho had reached an agreement with Chelsea, who had simply postponed Eriksen's final trial until the final outcome of the Champions League was in place.

Abou wants Eriksen to go, but if Eriksen does pull off a miracle and lead Chelsea to the Champions League, it would be a hasty decision to sack such a manager, and it would have caused a huge rift in the relationship between the club and the fans.

After Chelsea were knocked out of the Champions League by Millwall, Eriksen's fate was finally decided, and there was no other possibility of any other changes, and Chelsea's dressing room, complaining and criticizing Eriksen, jumped to the news.

The reason why Chelsea locked Mourinho in advance, in addition to the fact that there is no shortage of suitors for Mourinho, the addition of Real Madrid is an important factor in catalyzing the emergence of this result, so Chelsea started to make a strong move, lest the dust of the season really settle, and the major giants began to prepare for next season, and the change of coach will change the coach, then, then Mourinho will have more choices, and I am afraid that Chelsea's chances of winning will not be too high.

And Mourinho gave up going to Real Madrid to take up a new position, but also because although he was in the list of Real Madrid's coaches, he was not the most important one, Chelsea's great sincerity touched him, so that he couldn't help but be a little fluttering after eliminating Deportivo La Coruna, at the celebration party of Porto's celebration of two consecutive league titles, he directly invited his assistant and goalkeeper coach to go to Chelsea to coach, the news, since then, has been spreading, and Porto, began to look for Mourinho's replacement, the ideal candidate is Real Madrid coach Queiroz.

That's why Fleet Street describes Aldridge and Mourinho as rivals!

Meeting in the club's Intercontinental Cup final for two years in a row can be called accidental, but the upcoming Champions League final is just the beginning!

The beginning of the war!

Mourinho will be in charge of Chelsea next season.

Chelsea and Millwall are bitter enemies.

Jose Mourinho and Aldridge will go head-to-head in the Premier League.

The prelude to this battle is the Champions League final, the climax, which will be in the Premier League in the future.

When Aldridge met Mourinho again at the Schalke Stadium, the two shook hands on point, then parted ways and walked to their respective dugouts.

Jose Mourinho looked cold and sharp as he stood on the edge of the dugout with one hand on the roof of the dugout, while Aldridge stood in front of the dugout with his head held high.

One, for his first Champions League title.

One, for his fifth Champions League title.

The two have different starting points and experience different eras.

At the time of meeting on this pinnacle stage, the pursuit is even more different.

Mourinho is looking for "first".

Aldridge wants a "third" today.

Millwall have four Champions League trophies.

If they win the trophy today, Millwall will have five Champions League trophies.

One less than AC Milan and Real Madrid.

It will no longer be tied with Liverpool and Ajax for third place, and will be the third place in the history of the Champions League!

In the last game of the 10th anniversary of his coaching, many of Aldrich's family and friends were present, and the number of Millwall fans far exceeded the number of Porto fans!

2004 is the "Year of Young Marshal" in modern football.

Rafa Benitez has won two titles in three years in La Liga.

Carlo Ancelotti has won two of the most important titles in Serie A for the second year in a row.

Didier Deschamps made a splash in Europe.

The madman Mourinho used the European second division as a springboard to the world.

Ten years ago, the young marshal Aldrich has not stopped now, and he stands at the pinnacle of the achievements of countless contemporary coaches.

I am afraid that no one can understand his pursuit, or rather, no one dares to fantasize about it.

His footsteps have stepped into the long river of history, and he has fought with countless football sages in the Spring and Autumn Period!

Millwall was penniless for a hundred years.

Aldrich is now going to use his own era to subvert the accumulation of all European giants for a hundred years, several generations, and countless people have worked hard to create the glory!

It is with such a mind and goal.

Aldridge doesn't care who the opponent will be.

Stop me from the hegemon! Annihilation! (To be continued......)
