Chapter 49: Neither the manager nor the players are in control

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho broke some little-known news before the game, saying that he had never thought of coaching Tottenham, and that Chelsea will play Tottenham in the league tonight.

Tottenham were looking for a manager last season, including Jose Mourinho, former Italian boss Terratoni and French boss Santini, but in the end, Tottenham opted for Frenchman Santini. This time Tottenham played away against Chelsea, and Mourinho brought up the old story again.

'It was probably in December or January last year that I was told that Tottenham were interested in me, but I never negotiated with Tottenham. I was fighting for the title with Porto and I didn't think I was going to leave the team at that time and I would decide my future at the end of the season. ”

"I'm working hard for the title, I want to accomplish my goal, I never wanted to change my life in December or January."

However, Mourinho did not forget to compliment his opponents, "Tottenham are a big club, they keep surprising me, we know they are doing very well, and Santini is gradually strengthening the team. ”

The media couldn't guess what Mourinho would have said in his pre-match press conference, but to the media's surprise, everyone was distracted by the Portuguese, and there were no questions about Chelsea's starting XI for this round at all, all of which focused on Mourinho himself.

He's the maverick and elusive guy who, a seemingly simple approach, has made Chelsea's starting line-up a mystery.

Whether Jonk will be in Chelsea's starting line-up or not remains unanswered on the first day before the game.

In fact, Tottenham wants to know more about Chelsea's starting list than the media, and in the face of the Blues who have risen strongly this season, how can the Tottenham manager contain the Chelsea man at home at White Hart Lane?

Without any hints, Santini opted for a conservative tactic, focusing on defense and making himself undefeated first.

Before the game, Santini gave a number of special instructions for Chelsea's attacking line.

The defenders were shown footage of the Chelsea strikers in the game, and the Tottenham players were given an idea of the characteristics of each of the Chelsea strikers.

However, Santini, who originally wanted the players to know what to do, threw a question to the defenders, how should Jonker defend?

The same is true in the game, Ridley. Kim realized how strong this guy's body really was...... But what made him strange was not the physical strength of this man, but the ...... What is he trying to do about not being able to form an effective opposition defense anyway?

As an experienced centre-back, Ledley. Kim has a very clear understanding of his strengths and weaknesses. He knows that his strengths are excellent headers and good physical fitness, while his weaknesses are slow speed and slow reactions.

If the opponent uses that Drogba to rush him, he will be able to defend easily now.

He couldn't figure out what that Chelsea number 25 was running for all the time, wasn't that stupid? I can't get the ball at all, and running like this, physical fitness is definitely a problem!

Always find a way to hide your weaknesses on the football field and at the same time use your strengths to deal with the enemy's weaknesses. Kim is clear.

But what he didn't know was ...... For Jonker, he has more than just a physical advantage! In addition to his body, his physical strength and speed can also make the opponent have no choice!

Jonk wiped the sweat from his forehead again.

Why are you so unlucky? If you want to start, you have to run non-stop according to Mourinho's arrangement. Kim is a player with excellent physical fitness, and Jonk is more like eating his opponent directly than running like this, and even he himself is wondering if he is doing useless work and wasting physical strength.

Tottenham didn't look like a home team at home today, and they actually put on an iron bucket formation, which is to compete with Chelsea for patience and unbeaten thinking.

It's just that after being opened by Jonck, a rampage knocked down, and the defense was somewhat chaotic.

Jonker's movement had no purpose at all, running to no one's place and immediately raising his hand to ask for the ball, and the Tottenham players had to be distracted to fill in the position.

Tactically, the managers on both sides have formed a confrontation in advance, whether Chelsea will disrupt Tottenham's defense first, or Tottenham will seize the opportunity to give Chelsea a counterattack.

As things stand, Chelsea dominate possession, but the attacking threat is yet to come out.

However, Tottenham Hotspur coach Santini has been frowning, Mourinho's tactics are too targeted, it seems that Jonker is running blindly and wasting energy!

But in reality, Chelsea's No.25 is a-stirring stick in a game, when to mess up Tottenham's backline, when Chelsea will suddenly attack.

The premonition of bad luck lingers in my heart.

Suddenly, there was an exclamation from the fans in White Hart Lane, and Santini's mind returned to the field.

Jonker hit the goal vigorously in the unguarded Jonker, but the ball didn't hit the goal at all, which shocked the Tottenham fans into a cold sweat.

Listen to the sound to know how fast the ball is, it's really hanging!

"With the first shot of the game so far, Jonker is telling White Hart Lane fans of his presence with his trademark powerful shot!"

Through the introduction of the commentary, it is not difficult to see that the two teams only had the first kick in the first 10 minutes, and the game was not exciting, but it was rich in content.

No matter how the other players played, Jonk was very depressed, tired and stupid?

The master is gone, let's go fight first.

Jonk's idea is actually very simple, that is, to vent first and keep impacting Ridley. The defense line of Kim and Naibet used physical contact mercilessly, even if it was a foul, and he didn't believe that he couldn't break through the closed door like this.

When his teammate passed the ball to him again, he jumped high to unload the ball and struck straight at Ledley. Gold.

It seems to be a move to pick the ball, but in fact, this time he is not even going for football, but for people...... Of course, if you can even hit people with the ball, it's not bad to kill two birds with one stone.

I've been idle for too long, it's time for you to taste it too!

Jonk went crazy and rushed over.

Mourinho was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, "Pass the ball!" Idiot, who told you to go hard, what are you doing? ”

It's not time to impact the back, according to Mourinho's arrangement, Chelsea's strength will be 30 minutes later, who knows that Dow Jonk will do it himself now!

A sudden outburst of rage by Jose Mourinho silenced the Chelsea bench, all watching Jonker's action.

"What nonsense!" Boas couldn't help but sweat for Jonker.
