Chapter 260: Farewell and send-off in the Mourinho era
The decision to impose penalties on UEFA continues, but no one knows that Chelsea are divided internally, with signs of parting ways between the three key Chelsea figures, Jose Mourinho, Rai Srley and Abou. Even the other Chelsea players were unaware of this at the moment, and the chaotic public opinion environment and the sluggish atmosphere in the team made their nerves less sensitive a lot, and they did not notice the slightest abnormality and abnormality in the team.
Fortunately, thanks to the fact that Lao Lei and the other three did not express their unhappiness with each other, Chelsea did not have a major collapse as the outside world speculated. Abou is still in seclusion behind the scenes, Mourinho is still doing his job diligently, and Lao Lei is still fulfilling his duties as the king of Chelsea, uniting his teammates and boosting the morale of his teammates.
When it comes to feelings for Chelsea, the three are probably on par with each other. But it's a pity that the three of them are all strong personalities with strong desire to control, and no one is willing to compromise and back down. In the future, they may have the opportunity to reconcile or even work together again. But at least at this time, this possibility no longer exists, and the breakdown of the three-person partnership is inevitable.
However, thanks to the superficial maintenance of the trio, Chelsea soon managed to stabilize the situation in the 34th round of the Premier League, beating Bolton Wanderers 2-0 away. After Manchester United were unexpectedly held to a shock draw at home by Black Cats Sunderland, the gap between the two teams widened to eight points.
With just four league games remaining, Chelsea only need one more win to secure their 05/06 Premier League title. on this. Ferguson is still clamouring, declaring that he and Manchester United will not give up hope of winning the title from a reversal. But apart from Manchester United's die-hard loyalists. There are few people in England who still have confidence and hope for Manchester United's big comeback.
But. Although this season is out of play, the media is already looking ahead to the next season. Because of Ferguson's Manchester United's crazy ability to grab points in the second half of the season, there is reason to believe that Ferguson's new Red Devils have begun to take shape, and that the all-powerful Red Devils are coming back. Compared with the sluggish performance of Liverpool and Arsenal, people suddenly found that if they want to resist Chelsea's rule, they really have to rely on Ferguson's Manchester United.
But after all, this is only a matter of next season, at least this season's Premier League title is already in Chelsea's pocket. In the 35th round of the home game against Everton, the whole Stamford Bridge changed its previous decadence and madness, and was full of triumphant songs and joy. Let the atmosphere of the scene be like a lively celebration.
'A win over Everton would see Chelsea win the Premier League three games ahead of schedule and defend their first league title in club history. After that terrible night, Chelsea and Stamford Bridge desperately need such a win to boost morale.
It's a shame to be knocked out of the Champions League, but that's a thing of the past and they need to look forward. This season alone, they have the Premier League and FA Cup titles up for grabs. Oh, I'm in the stands, I see Reima. It seems that the news of his right leg injury is not fake. He's been in a lot of trouble lately, but I want to say, 'Man, we've got your back!' Lineker said.
Meanwhile. At the scene, the picture of Reimaa appearing in the stands also appeared on the big screen of the scene through the guò camera. Then, the singing at Stamford Bridge came to an abrupt halt. Instead, there was a thunderous round of applause, which was a sign of support and encouragement from Chelsea fans to the elder Ray.
This is a scene full of warmth. Lao Lei stood up all of a sudden, and kept waving to the applauding Chelsea fans around him. At this time. He wore large sunglasses on his face, which he had brought with him when he stood up. He was afraid of letting others see the scene with tears in his eyes, and the applause of the Chelsea fans suddenly shattered his composure. He didn't want to shed tears, and he didn't like to shed tears, but he couldn't help the outburst of love.
Mourinho's departure, the feud with Abou, the quarrel with Kayla, and the "humiliating" elimination of the Champions League, this short period of bad news has forced Lao Lei's psychological endurance to a critical point. Previously, he had endured it well, but as soon as this warm applause rang out, it shattered the psychological protection wall he had built. This is the most warm and happy scene he has felt in recent times, but it is also a sour scene. Because, his departure is already a matter of time.
No matter how complicated the situation of Lao Lei in the stands, the Chelsea players have begun to launch a series of fierce attacks on the field, and the momentum is like a tide. Although Ferguson had been encouraging Everton not to give up on the game before the game, and Moyes himself said that he would not let Chelsea win the title lightly, judging from the table on the pitch, Everton will not be a problem for Chelsea, at least in this game.
In the 17th minute of the first half, Crespo, who started in place of Drogba, broke the deadlock on the pitch with a clever header from a corner. The Argentinian veteran is almost certain that he won't stay at Chelsea next season, but he has been committed to every game and has managed to open the door for Chelsea in this game.
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!! Crespo! A beautiful header on goal, the Argentine's agility in front of goal was on full display at this moment, which was very exciting. Unfortunately, his technical style is destined to get little playing in Mourinho's tactical system, otherwise Chelsea should really keep him. Lineker, who was also a goalscorer when he was a player, said heroically.
At the same time, Stamford Bridge once again appeared a picture that made Lao Lei full of emotion. Amid the tsunami cheers of the Chelsea fans, the celebratory Chelsea players came to the sidelines, raised their arms and pointed their index fingers at Lao Lei, who was watching the game from the stands. Such a posture that represents being with you makes the sour mood in Lao Lei's heart, which has just calmed down a little, have a turbulent feeling again.
Looking at the thick arms that were pointing at him, the tide of warmth suddenly began to hit Lao Lei's collapsed mental defense, and he suddenly found that this scene was so beautiful, unbelievably beautiful. At this point, he stood up again, pointed at them from afar, and responded in his emotion. Since then, he has never taken off the sunglasses on his face until he left.
In the 50th and 63rd minutes of the game, such scenes were staged twice in succession. In this touching warmth created by Lao Lei and Chelsea players, Chelsea drew a perfect end to their Premier League journey in the 05-06 season with a clean 3-0 victory. But I'm afraid that except for Lao Lei and Mourinho and other parties, no one expected that Chelsea's invincible posture in the Premier League officially came to an end on this day. Where Chelsea will go in the post-Jose Mourinho and even post-Ray era, no one can predict.
Winning the title early is a celebration to celebrate, and with Chelsea no Champions League fixtures and the FA Cup final set off until mid-May, it's only natural that a lively celebration will begin. Ray attended the celebration party alone on crutches, and Kayla had not been back to London since that phone altercation. In the case that Cintia and the others have no intention of attending this kind of gathering, it is inevitable that Lao Lei will be alone.
Under the escort of the security personnel, after dodging the long guns and short guns of the reporters, Lao Lei walked into the party scene with complicated and inexplicable thoughts. In this short period of time when his career and life have undergone a huge change, his clarity and mind can't help but become a little sensitive. This is human nature, and when the old era full of meaning is faced with farewell, people are always full of reluctance. Under the nature of liking the new and hating the old, there is still an instinct for nostalgia hidden in people's hearts.
After barely coping with his teammates with a smile on his face, Lao Lei sat down next to Mourinho and whispered in his ear: "Head, have you figured out where you are going?" Since he knew that parting was inevitable, Lao Lei could only send his concern. The mentor-apprentice relationship between him and Mourinho has not deteriorated for the sake of what happened during this time.
"Why do you want to come with me?" Mourinho was stunned for a moment, and then said with anticipation in a joking. Although he intends to break away from Lao Lei and rebuild a team, a player like Lao Lei is like an addiction to cigarettes that the head coach can't quit, and no matter how much he resists, he can't help but have some expectations in his heart.
"No, I'm going to stay for another season. At least to leave in good times and memories, now is not the time I want to leave, it is too bad. Lao Lei was slightly stunned and replied. Looking at Mourinho's expression, he couldn't help but feel like time had gone back, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile, a trace of beauty was added to his sour mood, and he couldn't help but feel some relief in his heart.
"It's a shame that I haven't been able to work with the best players in the world for a while." Seeing that Lao Lei's mood had improved, Mourinho couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and then continued to joke. Mendes has been talking to him about Ray's situation. Previously, he had always been a little uneasy, but at this moment, his heart suddenly settled down again, because he found that his disciple had grown up and matured, and his heart couldn't help but be full of relief.
"It's also a shame that I haven't been able to work with the best manager in the world for a while." After letting go of some bad feelings in his heart, Lao Lei seemed to be a lot more energetic, and also replied jokingly.
For a while, both masters and apprentices felt like they were back on the training ground of the Leiria youth team, when they met for the first time and got acquainted
'Head, I want to play in the FA Cup final.'
"Why, your injuries should need to be recuperated, you know this is a World Cup year"
"This is my farewell gift to you." Lao Lei interrupted.
After a few seconds of silence, Mourinho smiled and said: "Good! ”
"I'm honored, head." (To be continued......)
