Chapter 184: Good Luck Is No More

"Boom!"

It's still the same sound, but the effect is very different!

Jonk was working his own, Jose Mourinho was not idle, and Didier Drogba was also on the pitch, playing mainly against Chelsea at Old Trafford.

Stacked forwards, or a center player, Jonk's position naturally retreated a bit.

The opportunity presented itself immediately, and with the two younger brothers, Chelsea were able to play the final 10 minutes entirely with the trio on the attack.

It is becoming more and more dangerous, only a little helpless, the goddess of luck and her old man came to her aunt today, and she is unwilling to come out to take care of Chelsea.

Every time he passes by with a goal, Mourinho can't think of a better way to do it even though he is anxious, the offensive is there, and he can't convert it into a goal, so he can only be in a hurry!

The Portuguese young coach had already run to the sidelines, constantly signaling the Chelsea players to press up, but today it was very strange, the others went up with anti-aircraft guns, not to mention that they couldn't help at all, it seemed that they came up to clear the siege for Manchester United.

Hell, the situation of today's game is very weird, it seems that Chelsea is doomed, Mourinho has a conspiracy theory in his heart again, but this time the object is not a person or a thing, but the almighty brother, he doesn't want you to score, no matter how it is in vain.

Webber looked at his watch and finally blew the final whistle, Ferdinand heard the whistle and lay on the grass as if relieved, watching the night sky gasping for breath, he was too tired, although the score was Manchester United 2:1 won the final victory, but the confrontation between the two. It has to be said that Ferdinand is the losing side, there is no excuse, failure is failure.

Just as Jonk is at the moment. Chelsea lost, he also failed, the duel between the two could not really be decided, it can only be regarded as each has its own merits, there are still opportunities, Jonk did not stop in the field, quickly walked to the players' tunnel.

"Wait. Brat! You're a good opponent! ”

Rio Ferdinand is a real talker, both on and off the pitch, and on the pitch as enemies. Off the field! At least Ferdinand approved of Jonker and he wanted to exchange jerseys.

"You're a good opponent too!"

The two shook hands and leaned forward to touch their shoulders to complete the jersey exchange.

Jonker wondered if Rio Ferdinand was an interesting player. Do everything in the field. When I got to the outside of the venue, I showed a different personality entirely, and it looked a little cute, and yes, the slightly upturned lips that hated it were a little cute at the moment.

After beating Chelsea 2-1, United manager Alex Ferguson was furious: "Who said I was under pressure? That's all nonsense! Which game do we have without pressure? When I was in charge of Manchester United, there was a time when I went 13 games without a win, and that's the pressure! At Old Trafford, it's always important to win. ”

For the table under the hand xiàn. "The problem we face is that young players need to find stability in their performances. Now the backbone of our team is sitting in the stands due to injury. We don't need it at all. A win over Chelsea would give them confidence and remind them of what they are capable of. When we attack forward, we are really threatened. ”

In response to Keane's harsh criticism, Smith said: "You have to keep reminding yourself that you're at a big club now, not the previous one, and we did it today. There was a lot of criticism, and not just Keane, he was a proud man, and he clearly told us what he really thought, not the that was written in the newspapers. ”

After the defeat, Mourinho said: "The difference between the two teams today was only luck. Everyone who participates in this game should be proud, winner or loser. Last time I was in Sevilla [after playing Betis] I felt very bitter, but today I am proud of my players and I am not worried about their future. I don't criticize the team and I'm happy with my team's performance. Of course we were disappointed, but losing after a bad table and losing after a good table are completely different things. ”

Jose Mourinho also hinted at Manchester United's stubbornness: "I have to praise the way they defended. In the second half, we were so dominant that it was hard to believe it was Old Trafford. We did everything we could to win. I hope that, just as I appreciate their achievements, Manchester United will realise that Chelsea are the champions, the league leaders, and I believe we will succeed in defending our title. ”

Jose Mourinho has joked about who beat Chelsea in the Premier League, and the government should grant it a public holiday. Now Manchester United have done it, ending the defending champions' 40-game unbeaten run by one goal, sweeping away the long-standing gloom and returning to the top three, at least in Manchester, where half of the people will enjoy nothing to do in the future.

A little over a year ago, United also ended Arsenal's 49-run run at Old Trafford, but the game was so controversial that it led to a post-match drama of throwing cakes. This time, Manchester United won the Zhengda Bright, and after the whole team was publicly criticized by captain Keane, he was ashamed and courageous, washed away the shame with practical actions, and defended the club's traditions.

The victory was of great significance to Manchester United, with a league defeat to Middlesbrough falling to seventh, a Champions Cup defeat to Lille in jeopardy, and a defeat to Chelsea that could lead to a complete collapse of the team's will and a collapse in the league and cup.

It's not easy to beat Chelsea, although the opponent has not been happy in the past two weeks, and the defensive dam is gradually cracking, but the strength and experience are far better than Manchester United, and the first time since the Premier League Manchester United was conceded at home by the bookmaker, it is not accidental, the vast majority of people are not optimistic about the home team, or the draw has been lucky, to get three points is really long.

Strength is not a sufficient condition for victory, but the desire to win is. Manchester United was able to win, in addition to putting themselves in the right position and breaking the cauldron, but also thanks to the tactical opponent. The vast majority of fans are on Keane's side, and it's not entirely because of the lack of quality of the young players. The advantages and disadvantages of individual abilities are often due to different collocations and differences in collective temperament, and the effects are very different when playing. But there is no desire to win, and the Dutch and Brazil are also defeated in the competition. What fans hate the most is the passivity and slackness of the players, and the loss of fighting spirit.

Ferguson was questioned before the game for losing his motives. Judging from this game alone, it seems that the verdict is premature, and Manchester United showed tenacity in the game. If it weren't for Ferguson's pre-match mobilization, I really don't know that courage begins with Hudi. Ferguson has always had the instinct to fight against the odds and survive in the Jedi, and he may have made many mistakes in other decisions, but once he is in a desperate situation, he will show his desperate housekeeping skills. If you don't fight, Manchester United will have no life.

How to spell it? Former Ireland international. Columnist Cascarino said: Manchester United pulled three midfielders back to draw Chelsea's midfielders away from their backs and create space for Rooney behind Ruud van Nistelrooy. This line of thinking is not much different from what Queiroz thinks on a regular day. If they do do that, United are destined to be overwhelmed by Chelsea in momentum, and losing momentum at home is tantamount to opening the door to thieves. Ferguson is not the type to tolerate beatings, and United's tradition does not allow for tactical mistakes. The stakes are high for the whole court. Considering that Manchester United are coming back to life when they are desperate, no matter how big the risk is, they must be out of the way.

In the first 25 minutes of the game, Manchester United and Chelsea went toe-to-toe. Alan. Smith was named the best of the game, which shows that Manchester United's midfield has a slight advantage, although the attack is not organized much, and the cooperation is not tacit, but the scramble disrupts Chelsea's rhythm and destroys Chelsea's tactical design. 20th minute. The percentage of areas with the ball on the pitch is 22 per cent in front of goal and 72 per cent in midfield. It was the first time Chelsea had started the league game with a drop in the opener.

There have been similar attempts by teams before, limited by strength and mentality, and ultimately did not implement the tactics to the end. Scholes' long-range shot in the 18th minute was United's best chance to open the scoring in the first half, and Fletcher's one-shot was actually more than hopeful.

Chelsea deserved to win, and in addition to their luck, they were intimidated by United's desperate stance, which was why they failed to take advantage of their chances in the first half and killed their opponents. Jonker was always United's biggest threat at the back, but his inconsistency kept him in the driver's thrive, and Frank Lampard's long ball narrowly missed the net, with three chances to equalise in the 10 minutes after Fletcher took the lead for the home side, and two powerful shots from Lampard were blocked by a wall of flesh and blood.

In the second half, Chelsea's appearance was normal, and there were more and more chances, one more threatening, Jonk stretched out his foot in front of goal, Frank Lampard's fierce shot from the ball and Del Horno's cross, all of which almost cost Manchester United their lives, but United had the first hand and defensive steady, and had their luck in their hands, and this was also due to the efforts of midfielders Smith and Fletcher. Ruud van Nistelrooy's goalmouth volley, and Rooney's push, although blocked by the opponent's heel, were not hidden.

Manchester United won, but this victory still makes the fans feel uncomfortable, if this momentum and blood are shown early in the morning, why the league is sluggish, why is the Champions Cup in danger, why Keane tearing his face and reprimanding the whole team for losing their minds? Alex Ferguson has won crucial battles but has yet to win them, and United still have a long way to go, and hopefully a win won't once again cover up the long-standing problems. Desperate, of course, is Manchester United's tradition, but romance is Manchester United's temperament.

Meanwhile, a tired bird returned to its warm nest, and Jose Mourinho, who had returned from Old Trafford, flew home home in Portugal as soon as possible. Jose Mourinho is tired and says he wants to sit at home and think about Chelsea's tactical problems.

Jose Mourinho is really tired, he collects 120 pages of evidence from Arsene Wenger about Chelsea, is always concerned about what is being said about Chelsea, and then often comes up with classic punchlines like "voyeur" and "man hiding in the shadows" to please the media. In his second year in England, the temptation to become a newsmaker is becoming Mourinho's biggest stumbling block.

Remember last season? Mourinho, who has just stepped into the Premier League, has a clear and unscrupulous approach in the face of the extremely developed media in the United Kingdom.

At the beginning of the season, facing a Arsenal side, he said that Arsene Wenger often taught his players to play on the sidelines. Cole was involved in the transfer. As a result, he got his wish, and the distraught Wenger lost out on the good game.

In Barcelona, he called out Rigkaard after the game to bribe the referee and forced the famous whistle Friske to retire with hatred. Back at home, Chelsea knocked Barcelona out of Handball and reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League. A similar situation occurred in the Carabao Cup, where he accused Alex Ferguson of bribing the referee away from home, only to be awarded a penalty at home.

At that time, Mourinho was not liked; But at that time, the British media was Mourinho's tool. Although he has witnessed the scolding battle between Ferguson and Arsene Wenger. But it wasn't until that year that the British learned that "psychological warfare" could be so terrifying.

Where's the turning point? It was supposed to be last year's Champions League semi-finals. To deal with Benitez. Mourinho's psychological warfare was the most painstakingly planned this time, but it also failed the most.

In addition to accusing Liverpool of being a basketball team, he also let out the wind before the game, saying that because he is more handsome than Benitez, the referee will definitely let himself suffer out of sympathy. However, it has been a season of ups and downs. Everyone knows his old tricks very well. The referee and Rafael Benitez were unfazed, with Liverpool relying on their basketball style and a goal that appeared to have crossed the goal line to knock Chelsea out of the final.

"I'm going to be a good boy." It's the start of the season. Mourinho's confession to the whole of Europe.

Everyone was expecting his new "psychological tactics", but they only waited for a war of words that had nothing to do with the game: constantly harassing Arsene Wenger after beating Arsenal, and arguing with Cruyff, who had long since retired from football.

Newspaper headlines are becoming spiritual opium, leaving Mourinho dwelling on rhetoric that has little to do with the game. Mourinho has become a little more "cute". The FA will even mediate a war of words between him and Arsene Wenger. Call him a "well-known coach". It's not like last season, where the ticket was sent directly to his home.

It's just that something has gone wrong. In Sevilla, Chelsea defeated Betis. After the game, Mourinho did not criticize others very "obediently", but said that the players played too poorly. As a result, there were soon rumors of chaos in the locker room. At the weekend, Chelsea lost to Manchester United, who have been in poor form of late. Before this decisive battle. The obedient Mourinho did not even conduct any "psychological warfare" against Ferguson.

Where did Mourinho's energy go? I used it to watch TV, and I used it to use newspaper clippings. Every day. He is like a sensitive hedgehog, keeping an eye on what Wenger and Cruyff are saying, and then preparing to strike back. In his rebuttal to Cruyff, his words leaked a genius: "Thanks to Cruyff, he did so that I could complete the paper's delivery task." ”

With a senseless war of words, Mourinho is becoming a British celebrity. However, this is a red flag for the team. If he still wants to establish a hegemony and challenge Manchester United, then put on that boring grey coat and throw 120 pages of "Wenger's incriminating evidence" into the River Thames. Then think about what new tactics of "psychological warfare" have come to the fore -- just like the one used by Alex Ferguson in 1996 when he defeated Keegan.

Like Mourinho, there is also Jonker, far away from that place of right and wrong, at the moment the British newspaper is hyping up the provocative action of Chelsea No. 25, saying everything, except for those who do not say good things, stupidity has become synonymous with him, "The Sun" also turned out the previous examples, analyzed Jonck's fatal weakness, and his unstable personality dìng!

In the past, he could have succeeded, but in the battle of Manchester United, Jonk failed, and if he failed, he had to accept defeat, he didn't say anything, and he seemed to report to the national team in a gray way, and didn't fight back?

Of course not, but if the words are useful, he has already said it, in fact, the media is a dog skin plaster that can't be shaken off, and there are many mistakes to say, it is better to wait until the time is ripe to withdraw it directly, how to remove it, of course, is to use the table on the field.

Portugal has already qualified for the 06 Germany World Cup from the first place in Group C, and the next thing is to warm up to ensure the tacit understanding of the national team players.

The international friendlies also have a well-known purpose, looking at newcomers who have been on the table well lately, with Jonk not starting in Croatia's friendlies, as did Cristiano Ronaldo, who were replaced by Quaresma and Gomez.

However, the golden partner is the golden partner, Quaresma and Gomez, a famous one, but after stepping out of the sky of Portugal, they have a huge name, but they can't play their true level, and they have already been labeled as parallel goods, and the latter Gomez is no longer what it used to be, against a strong team like Croatia, their table is difficult to be satisfied.

There is one person who has attracted a lot of attention, he is also a player under scrutiny, but Nani's appearance is eye-catching, sharp dribbling, good speed, reminiscent of Ronaldo, and a rare wing talent, it seems that Portugal's recent youth system, such a type of player can often appear.

Speaking of which, Nani still has some connections with Jonk and Ronaldo, and is also an agent, Mendes, who is also from the youth academy of Sporting Lisbon.

Little junior brother! The golden partner usually has a lot of fun with the little junior brother inside, and the somewhat shy Nani was a little scared of these two senior brothers by the two.

It's time to get on the field. Nani turned out to be lively, and in the second half, Jonk and Cristiano Ronaldo came on together amid the frantic cheers of the Portuguese fans. It immediately changed the situation on the field.

The Portuguese team's offensive also unfolded in an instant, Nani really realized what a star is, what a ball skill is, and he can do many actions, but when it comes to reasonable use, he still has a long way to go, especially the rhythm and frequency of the two with the ball are even more enviable. It's just the wind under your feet, but you don't see a trace of panic.

There is only one ending for the opponent's rash kick, and he is ruthlessly left behind.

2:0!

The golden partner has one goal per person. Helped Portugal win the warm-up match against Croatia.

The atmosphere after the game was also quite relaxed, there was no pressure to play, and it was more like a group relaxation activity. Let's talk about what happened at the club. Talking about the beauties of various countries, Nani was frightened by the two senior brothers, and had to take him to see the beauties of Portugal.

Is it to see? If you don't do something, can you come back?

Nani was now hiding from the two of them, not daring to let them see them at all.

Jonk and Ronaldo actually just looked at Nani shyly and wanted to exercise their little junior brother, but they didn't expect that even people would be exercised, so they had to go chic by themselves.

in Portugal. The golden partner is undoubtedly the most popular, and there are bursts of screams everywhere. No way, the two are too handsome, Ronaldo looks cool everywhere, his hair is even more shockingly groomed, and Jonk has a smile on his face, showing his unique charm.

In ordinary places, they don't dare to go anymore, where is chic, it's simply a fan meeting, there is not enough time for autographs and group photos, and they are playing a fart!

I can only go to some high-end and high-grade places, but these places also lack some sense of hunting, they are all understanding people, and they come here to take what they need, but the golden partner still has to spend money and work hard, those girls not only have fun with their idols, they are cool, they can also get money, and they can show off with their good sisters in the future, no matter how they say it, they have earned it.

This feeling is not very good, and the two of them go once and then stop going, which is boring.

The two also discussed, the next time the national team training and playing a game, come to the same, disguise and then act, eat a trench and grow wise, they are also constantly becoming famous, groping for ways to deal with it.

Back in England, Jonk felt a different atmosphere.

Chelsea suffered a defeat to Manchester United before the international break, but the Blues' rivals didn't make much of a fuss about it at the time. It's not that they pity the jade, but that they have to wait for the best time. After the dust settled on the international break, Arsenal coach Wange really took the lead. The "Professor" first said that Chelsea's defeat had restored the suspense of the Premier League title, and then said that Chelsea did not deserve to win the title unbeaten in a season like Arsenal.

"I think the unbeaten run all season is an outstanding record and it will take much longer for people to realise how great it is," Wange said. Chelsea's experience showed how difficult it is to break a season's unbeaten streak and how solid and how good we were in that record-breaking season. 'As Chelsea go all the way, Wange must have feared the Blues would easily break their season unbeaten and 49-game unbeaten run. But now that Chelsea are down to Manchester United, with no hope of breaking the record, Wange has come out again to fight psychological warfare: "Chelsea's defeat has reopened the suspense of winning the Premier League, made the Premier League more interesting, and it is good for the Premier League. ”

Wange admits the Gunners are 11 points clear of the leaders: 'Chelsea are still a long way ahead of all teams, but their defeat gives us some hope again. We take on Chelsea in Highbury next month and we have to win the previous games or it doesn't make sense for us to win Chelsea. ”

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has not had time to think about the psychological battle against Want, and he is worried about the weekend's clash with Newcastle: a further defeat to the Magpies would see Chelsea win just one of their last six games, repeating last year's Arsenal's 'Old Trafford Defeat Syndrome'.

The biggest concern for the "madman" is Owen, who is in form, "Owen and Newcastle are a match made in heaven in the summer transfer window. Owen is a Real Madrid goalscorer and a sure starter for England. Owen's former club Liverpool want him, while Newcastle want success too. The Magpies bought him for £17 million and 20,000 fans went crazy for his arrival, all of which were perfect. ”

Compared to Newcastle's strong attack, the Blues' goalscorers are incomplete: Didier Drogba is suspended, while Ibrahimovic travels to Qatar with Sweden injured. The "madman" under pressure scolded: "The national team schedule is simply crazy. Again, there was a misunderstanding between us and the national team, and again, my heart was in my throat. Because of the national team game, I lost Makelele, Del Horno, Duff and Robben. Let's not forget that last season our Ferreira also had surgery for the national team. ”

Jose Mourinho even complained that Sweden should find a European opponent to warm up instead of going to Qatar. (To be continued......)
