Walking out of the bloody Ewood Park stadium in midweek, Mourinho had plenty of reasons to be more confident: "The game against Blackburn Rovers showed that we can not only play well, but also fight. If we were to be in a similar situation at other courses, we would be confident that we would face it as well. ”

Another big takeaway from Chelsea's campaign was the 'rain fight', with Jose Mourinho finding Blackburn "deliberately wet the pitch to hinder the opposition's ground attack" before the game: "Playing in the wet is also a good experience and we won't be left out of our way if it rains against Bolton or Everton." ”

With 13 rounds remaining, Chelsea only need nine wins and one draw to claim the title.

This is the definitive conclusion of mathematics and Mourinho's view, but this seemingly simple condition may not be so easy to achieve.

Arjen Robben, one of the biggest factors in Chelsea's spurt, will surely miss the next round and Wednesday's friendly between the Netherlands and England. Until tomorrow's second X-ray confirmation, no one knows what else he's missing.

What will become of the Blues without Arjen Robben? This is the biggest suspense tomorrow night.

Fortunately, Jonk is still very healthy, so that the good people can once again exert the power to attack the city, which is not what people want to see the most.

Jonk himself was annoyed that he didn't score in the game he had just signed in his new contract, but the game can't be repeated and he has to face the next league game.

If Chelsea proved they can play football and play hand-to-hand against Blackburn, it will be against Manchester City tomorrow night. Their mission is to prove that without Robben they will not revert to the 'dull Chelsea' side that relied on '1-0' and set-piece wins at the start of the season.

The media are not optimistic about Chelsea's attacking prowess. The last time we faced the Man City man, we relied on a sudden outburst from Jonker, but it is a bit unrealistic to expect a young man to break out all the time, and the last round of Chelsea's no.25 was lost in the brutality of the opposition, so will City do the same with him?

Anyway, Jonk has thought about it, he is not a soft persimmon. It's not someone who wants to do it, just this once, there will be no next time. Crude? He can be rougher than anything else!

It's just that he doesn't want to spoil the beautiful part of football, to win for the sake of winning, to do whatever it takes to win, that's not his style.

Casual and idealistic! Sometimes he also knows the truth. It's not good to think of football too purely. But what's so bad about that, there's nothing wrong with leaving yourself perfect.

What about Jose Mourinho! Putting pressure on his championship rivals before a fight has become a must-do for him before every fight.

'I don't care about Manchester United and Arsenal, I only care about Chelsea ourselves now.' Jose Mourinho is sober enough: the tactical and psychological adjustments caused by injury will be one of Chelsea's worst problems in the league this season.

He has left behind strong rivals like Manchester United and Arsenal at Chelsea, and he has also fought for scoundrels like Blackburn; They withstood the habitual sinking Christmas and New Year's battles and retreated from the "difficult north" (Ferguson's phrase). They also crossed the dangerous League Cup semi-finals.

This weekend's Chelsea was like a climb to the top of the Tower of Death from Bruce Lee's posthumous Game of Death. I suddenly found that the worst enemy was myself.

That's right, in Mourinho's words, the only one who stands in the way of the most embarrassing champions is Chelsea, and they don't have to care about Arsenal and Manchester United.

Manchester City manager Keegan, who will arrive at Stamford Bridge tomorrow night, will remember this sentence in his heart. Nine years ago, the "Magpies" led by him also suffered a big slide of 5 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses when they were far ahead of Manchester United in the last 13 rounds (9 points in the last 13 rounds), and were overtaken by Manchester United by 4 points.

The 'Muslims' may not have had the same ups and downs as Newcastle did back then, but they also desperately need to consolidate their win ahead of time in order to stay on top of the other three fronts – even if Mourinho believes it, Kenyon and Abou don't believe it.

In that sense, tomorrow's victory for Chelsea is more like the last battle before they ascend to the Premier League.

On 6 February, Chelsea had plenty of chances to shoot in one of the Premier League's biggest games of the weekend, but neither Jonk nor the Icelander, nor Frank Lampard nor Duff were able to find the back of the net.

As a result, a fierce battle ended with a dull score of 0:0.

Chelsea remained top of the league and their lead was reduced to nine points.

The only good news for them is that their competitors are also competing in the next Champions League knockout rounds, and it is not easy to chase points and juggle the Champions League.

The media's criticism of Jonk is unabated, who made him so young and yet get a big contract? The British media has been looking for excuses for a long time, and the last time Mourinho jumped out to attract all the firepower, but now, it is useless for anyone to jump out.

What do the strikers do, score goals, it's as simple as that!

If you don't score, it's not Jonker's, no matter how good you were before, when the team needs to score, if you don't score, the media can attack you!

Besides, the British media has long been unable to see that the Portuguese brothers who are in the limelight, Ronaldo Ronaldo and Jonker are outsiders in the eyes of the British media, and they don't have to scruple at all.

In response to the criticism received by the media, Mourinho stood up for his disciples: "It is clear that the team did not win, and it is definitely not the responsibility of one person, but the problem of the whole team. It's not fair to focus on just one person! ”

Mourinho was a little worried that Jonker would be affected by the media criticism, but he observed and found that Jonk was not negatively affected by the media comments, and his attitude in training was still serious and full of fighting spirit...... He reacted, and judging by Jonk's character, this level of criticism did not work for him at all, but only passionate his fighting spirit.

Not to mention that flaws must be reported, slapping the face, sarcastic and sarcastic long-mouthed women are also good!

Jonk has summed it up, it's the same everywhere, don't think about having anything to do with the media, you have to slap it in the face when it's time to hit it, even then they don't have a long memory!

The problem is that it is not so easy to get back on the field in the next game.

That's Everton, the most difficult existence in the Premier League.

On 12 July, Chelsea narrowly beat fourth-placed Everton by a goal thanks to Jonker's 70th-minute strike.

However, the Blues' victory was not so accidental: just eight minutes into the game, Everton's bad boy Beatty, who had just been brought in from Southampton during the winter break, was sent off with a red card for a foul on Galla during the confrontation.

The 10-on-11 Everton immediately fell into passivity, which became the turning point of the game and the focus of conversation between the coaches after the game.

In the 8th minute, Everton's long pass launched a counterattack, Terry and Galla chased back to protect the ball out of the bottom line, and Beatty, who had been chasing behind Galla at the same time, took advantage of the referee's inattention to maliciously smash the back of Galla's head with his forehead very covertly, the Frenchman fell to the ground at that time, and the discerning referee Lilly did not hesitate to show Beatty a red card.

After the game, Everton manager David Moyes accused Galla of being "too easy to fall down as a centre-back".

Jose Mourinho went into hiding again after the game, with his assistant Clarke attending the press conference in his place. Clark said: "Beattie being sent off changed normal play. When you see this, you must think, why did he do such a stupid thing? ”

Regardless of the manager's press conference after the game, the next two weeks are the national team break, which means that the players will have to report to the national team for a warm-up match or qualifier.

Portugal did not have a qualifier to play, and Scolari arranged two warm-up matches for the Portuguese team, training on behalf of the game.

Tunisia and South Africa, both from Africa, lost by a big score in the Portuguese twin star joint performance.

Jonk finally found the feeling of scoring a little goal, after the game, the two brothers arranged the next stop early, the national team game is over, the club does not have to go back to report, of course to go to the chic, the two brothers have not been out of the game together for a while, there is a tacit understanding on the field, there is also a tacit understanding outside the field, the two cars drove out of the Dragon Stadium one after the other, and met in the old place.
