Although the Champions League knockout round met Barcelona, it completely aroused Lao Lei's fighting spirit. But anyway, it was February. Until then, Chelsea and Ray will still need to play every game honestly. The period leading up to the start of the Champions League knockout stage is the most important time for teams participating in the Champions League knockout stage to grab points. Especially a team like Chelsea that wants to achieve results on multiple fronts will go all out to grab points during this time period and make the best preparations for the next multi-front campaign, reducing the pressure of the league as much as possible. Not to mention, Mourinho's goal is much more than that, with Chelsea aiming for an ambitious treble, or even a quadruple, this season.

It's very difficult to know that no matter what team you are, it's very difficult to achieve this kind of results. Because this can already be done with strength, it needs to be done in terms of physical fitness, training plans, injuries and sometimes even some luck. In history, the teams that can achieve such great achievements are all dynasty teams of the same era. In the Premier League in recent decades, only Manchester United in '99 has been fortunate enough to achieve this feat, winning the Champions League, the Premier League and the FA Cup that season.

Jose Mourinho and Lao Lei have done the same feat in Porto, but it is a lack of recognition. Due to the status of the Portuguese league in European football, it can be said that Porto's quadruple title is generally lacking in the eyes of the outside mainstream. And Mourinho, who aspires to be the world's No. 1 manager, naturally will not sit idly by and watch such a situation happen without taking any action. His biggest goal this season is. Hopefully he can do what he did in Porto again at Chelsea.

The idea of Mourinho is only known to the old Ray in the Chelsea team. About the idea. The two of them had a discussion in private. Jose Mourinho once asked the elder Ray: "Reima, what do you think of this idea?" And Lao Lei's answer was: "Great." That's what we're supposed to do. Although both of them were full of desire and confidence in this goal, in order not to put too much pressure on the rest of the Chelsea personnel, both of them tacitly kept the idea in their hearts and did not say it publicly.

The two of them were the steering wheel and engine of Chelsea respectively, and in this way, without anyone knowing, they both led them to a golden strip full of dangers of capsizing, success is greatness, and failure is likely to be the failure of the big four. With the knockout rounds of the Champions League just around the corner. The great cause in the hearts of the two will also embark on the road of conviction. In this regard, although the two of them maintained a superficial calm, their hearts were already full of passion.

However, the road has to be taken step by step, the meal has to be eaten one bite at a time, and the championship is accumulated one victory after another. The most recent game in front of Chelsea was the Premier League 24th round at home to Portsmouth. The first meeting between the two teams this season ended with a comfortable victory for Chelsea. I believe that this game, with Chelsea's recent strength and form, is also nine out of ten. So Mourinho is in this game. boldly sent a semi-main lineup led by Lao Lei.

This is for the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final between Manchester United and Chelsea five days later. Because the first meeting between the two teams was a 1-1 draw, there is bound to be a fierce clash between the two teams at Old Trafford in the second leg. Considering that Lao Lei is still unable to play, Mourinho naturally has to be more careful. It's time to get more rest for your other main players.

In doing so, it may seem too much to underestimate Portsmouth's strength, after all, the Premier League is a well-known league without underdogs. The overall league quality gap is arguably the smallest in European football. But it turns out that Mourinho and Chelsea are not wrong. Under the needle lead of Lao Lei. Chelsea, who are semi-mainstay, are still domineering at Feyton Park and have beaten the home team well.

In this game though. The most brilliant person in the table is not Lao Ray, but the Belgian Gudjohnsen. Or it should be said that this game does not need Lao Lei to work hard for Chelsea to win. After the opening of the game, Lao Lei rarely stayed in the midfield honestly, and began to control the rhythm and offensive direction of Chelsea, without the frequent pressure on the back row in the past. However, it is not that Ray is lazy, but that Chelsea's frontcourt players have already suppressed Portsmouth's defence without Ray's support. In this case, Lao Lei is also happy to be green leaves for his teammates, let them play wantonly, and do behind-the-scenes work behind them. In this regard, he stood up and spoke without backache and said: "It's not bad to be a master behind the scenes once in a while." Let the comrades have more opportunities to express themselves, so as to live up to the experience of growing up under the red flag. ”

With such an idea, Lao Lei began to happily start the organization work in the middle of the field. However, instead of alleviating the pressure on Portsmouth's defense, his approach made their defensive line chaotic, and a series of arrangements made by their manager for Lao Lei before the game suddenly turned into smoke and useless. So Lao Lei's unintentional concession suddenly made the Portsmouth players not know what to do.

And Gudjohnson, who is a Chelsea attacking player in the frontcourt, took the opportunity to start attacking aggressively. With Ray's control in midfield and the delivery of shells, they were recklessly attacking Portsmouth's defence, without worrying about not receiving football in the front court. As a result, when the old ray is willing to take a back seat, these Chelsea substitutes who rarely have the opportunity to perform are rare to be the masters of the house.

Also, although they are substitutes for Chelsea, that doesn't mean they don't have quality. After Abu's strong entry into Chelsea, Chelsea, who do not need to worry about transfer fees, has set off a ruble storm in the transfer market, and their purchase principle is that as long as you are a strong player, we dare to buy it for any amount of money. So Chelsea's bench is one of the best in the Premier League, and it's all about some of the best players.

So when the frontcourt players turned over the river and the sea and made a big move, Lao Lei stayed in the midfield with confidence and easily did the work of organizing the team. After not having to plug forward, Lao Lei felt a burst of relief. To put it mildly, to put it mildly, "It's no different from going on vacation." 'But he felt relaxed, but the Portsmouth midfielders didn't feel that way at all. After not taking on more offensive tasks, Lao Lei has brought his ability to control the field, which is already the world's top and maybe even the first, to the extreme.

Possession, passing, big-picture vision and running ability, for Ray, who has already reached the world's top level in all four aspects, it is a very easy task to fully control the pitch in front of an opponent like Portsmouth. In this game, Chelsea, with him at their core, had 80% possession on the pitch shortly after the start of the game. And what that 80 per cent brings is an inexhaustible supply of attacking opportunities and shells from Chelsea's frontcourt players.

For this kind of scene, although the Portsmouth players tried hard to change it with aggressive pressing and running, this qiē became useless in the face of Lao Lei's perverted running ability, excellent passing ability and top-notch ball control ability. He was like a loach, swimming constantly in the midfield, slippery, unable to catch at all. In the face of Lao Lei's appearance, a commentator also said with emotion: "This is not the real strength of Portsmouth, it is Lei Maia's super ability to control the court that has made them like this." A Premier League match, now that it's a game between professional and amateur teams, is a terrible midfielder. ”

This sentence won the consent of all the people who watched the game, and it very vividly summed up the shape on the field. In such emotion, in the end, Chelsea used a score of 4:0 to successfully get three points again, and continued to make Arsenal, who were chasing behind, feel the taste of despair. Last season, it was the feeling they brought to other Premier League teams, but what they didn't expect was that the news would come so quickly. Now some Premier League media have even shouted something like this: "If it weren't for the absence of Remair in the 9th round of the league, Chelsea would not have lost to Manchester City, and this season's Premier League may have ushered in another unbeaten team to win the title." Because no matter how you look at it, Chelsea are even more terrifying now than Arsenal last season. ”

Now, every time Chelsea win another league opposition, it gets louder and louder. It was the same after the game against Portsmouth. The media commented with emotion: "When Chelsea's rotation can get three points for Chelsea so easily, the only way to count on Chelsea is to count on God's help." ”

In addition, Lao Lei, who did not have many brilliant shots in this game, also unexpectedly became the focus of media praise after the game. "Imperceptible expression", this is the media's evaluation of his performance in this field. "With 130 passes, a 97 per cent success rate, 20 successful tackles, with a table like this, Reima doesn't have to score, he doesn't have to assist, he is already in control of the game. The number of successful passes he made alone was already comparable to that of the entire Portsmouth team, and although he didn't have the wonderful dribbles and shots of the past, he was still terrifying and terrifying. Although I don't want to admit it, but in the face of Chelsea with such Reima, the other 19 Premier League teams can already consider the possibility of second place in the league. ”

With such accolades, Old Ray once again sat in the stands, the stands at Old Trafford.

In Old Trafford, known as the Theater of Dreams, Lao Lei can only leave his figure in the stands this time.

However, to his surprise, he was greeted by many Manchester United fans here before the game.

Before another torturous red-blue battle for Lao Lei, this was more or less a comfort to his soul.

With this unexpected surprise, Lao Lei began to cheer for his teammates.

"This is the first championship trophy, get rid of you, guys!"

"I'm going to win!"

"My Quadruple Champion!!" (To be continued......)
