No. 123 Magic Bird Class
Manchester United broke their spell in Portugal, while Chelsea, the main rivals in the Premier League, were not so lucky, being held to a 1-1 draw by Norwegian champions Rosenborg in the first round!
Chelsea held out a 1-1 draw in the first leg of the Champions League against Rosenborg thanks to Shevchenko's goal, and a draw at home to the weakest group opponents was clearly not a satisfactory result. In Frank Lampard's absence, Chelsea scored just one goal in 270 minutes. Joe Cole, Essien and Malouda all worked together to make up for Chelsea's lack of Frank Lampard, but the trio's statement told Jose Mourinho that Frank Lampard is the most indispensable man in the Blues squad right now.
Without this central figure, Chelsea's Champions League prospects this season are already in jeopardy.
In order to fill Frank Lampard's absence, Mourinho set up the midfield to bring the experienced but not many opportunities to play this season to play in the midfield, so as to free Essien from the defense and play the role of Lampard. The flanks of the midfield were laid out, with Malouda on the left and Joe Cole on the right: Malouda on the left was rested in the last round of the league to concentrate on this game; Joe Cole on the right also got a starting spot in place of Wright Jr., the main player on the right side this season. Mourinho's idea is to give up a winger but let Joe Cole and Malouda, who are adept at cutting inside the middle, plus the ability to often plug in Essien, to make up for the loss of Frank Lampard's position.
However, the actual results of the game were not ideal, with Joe Cole on the right conceding the flank to Belletti. He has repeatedly leaned into the middle of the pitch and tried to become a role for Frank Lampard in the team, but to little avail. Malouda and Essien didn't even try a few times. Jose Mourinho's hopes of making up for Lampard's loss with a trio in the game were shattered in such a situation, and Chelsea had to reluctantly accept the fate of being held to a draw at home due to the lack of "backbone".
Throughout the game, Joe Cole's passes were mostly clever in small areas. There is a clear gap between Frank Lampard and Frank Lampard's sense of the big picture, and Chelsea's attack has been much less diverted to shake the opponent's defensive focus. Essien and Malouda played in their usual way, with the former going it alone on many occasions and not seeking to cooperate; The latter tangled with his opponent on the left flank. The combination of the trio simply doesn't create the same effect of interspersing runs and sharing the ball as Lampard does in the midfield position.
Frank Lampard's forward shot is irreplaceable by Joe Cole and the others. In this game, Joe Cole got a total of 4 shots on goal, mostly not in front but from long range outside the box. And only 1 hit the door frame. Malouda had a couple of good cuts inside, and the in-form Frenchman even squandered a must-score chance in the 16th minute. Essien looked hard in this game, getting seven shots on goal. He had the most shots on goal, but it was an exaggeration to say that only once did Essien have a shot that hit the woodwork. Compared to Frank Lampard's accuracy in cutting forward and shooting from distance, there is no one else in the Chelsea squad who can match it.
Considering that Chelsea's last win was through Frank Lampard's diagonal shot, what Chelsea lack most in midfield right now is Frank Lampard's ability to threaten the opposition at any time. Joe Cole. Malouda and Essien. The three of them couldn't do it together. Ahead of the game, Jose Mourinho had spoken about the absences of Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard by saying "actually missing these two equals missing half of Chelsea's goals". The importance of Frank Lampard's goal for Chelsea cannot be overstated.
Finally, there is the "backbone" of the team. Frank Lampard is one of the captains of the team and a true soul of the team. In the absence of John Terry's form since his injury, the backbone of the team is Frank Lampard, the homegrown soul. It's no wonder Jose Mourinho would use the term 'backbone' to describe what Lampard means to Chelsea. In Frank Lampard's absence, Chelsea had no one at the heart of the squad to lead them out of their predicament.
Also, Mourinho on the issue of Ballack. There is also a dispute over the way in which it was handled. Not just this game, but the games in the league. Chelsea have repeatedly shown their reliance on Frank Lampard in the midfield position. When Frank Lampard was injured, Ballack was the best replacement for Frank Lampard. Both are on the injury list right now, but it's better than nothing to have someone who can replace Frank Lampard in his tactical role on the pitch. Jose Mourinho has excluded the German captain from the Champions League squad. Ballack sat in the stands in leather jackets and watched his teammates perform, even if the German recovered from injury, he could not contribute anything to the team in the Champions League before the next Champions League registration.
Frank Lampard will inevitably have a period of recovery after his injury, excluding Ballack's approach, leaving Chelsea struggling to stay on the pitch for now. Chelsea picked up just one point against Rosenborg and were even tougher against Valencia and Schalke below. Chelsea's all hope now lies with Frank Lampard, who could return to the pitch sooner rather than later, without which Chelsea will not be able to perform their worst record in the Champions League: rolling up and going home after the group stage.
The first eight matches of the first round of the UEFA Champions League group stage have been played. AC Milan, Real Madrid, Chelsea and Liverpool all came together to see very different fates – AC Milan and Real Madrid both beat their opponents 2-1 at home to take all three points, while both Premier League giants were caught in the thick of each other.
Sitting at Stamford Bridge, keeping a clean win against the Norwegian side, the "Tsar" Abou personally pressed the line-up, and everyone needs to consider how many goals Chelsea will score. With all eyes on us, Chelsea took their first steps to win the UEFA Champions League yesterday against underdogs Rosenborg.
Chelsea had 29 shots on goal in the game, with a measly eight of them, and 70 per cent of the time spent on the ball was well outpaced. However, Chelsea were first conceded by a goal before drawing 1-1 with Rosenborg thanks to Sheva's goal.
"The opponent didn't give us any problems, the problem was with us." Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho said after the game. Indeed, 29 shots on goal in the game. Only five times on target, Sheva alone accounted for three of these five times, so to speak. The lack of a striker is an issue that Chelsea need to address at the moment. Drogba was wounded, Pizarro also rested, and the striker who charged as a "tank" was gone. Sheva was drowned directly in the Norwegian's flesh wall, so it is not difficult to understand that in the second half of the game, Mourinho even sent John Terry as a central striker, hoping that he could help the team with his strong physique and header. But Terry's defender's footwork told him that the move didn't work.
Rejoice. Sheva's goal was his 60th in European competition and he is also the joint-second leading scorer in European history along with Inzaghi.
After the Rosenborg team's goal, an intriguing picture emerged. Chelsea owner Abou, who was watching the game, actually laughed. His beautiful model girlfriend Zhukova also laughed. In the past, when the opponent scored, Abu always had a stiff face and no expression. And this time, he laughed presumptuously. It's because I have a beautiful woman as my companion. So the ball game became a foil. Or is there an earth-shattering change brewing behind this laughter?
Fortunately, "Warcraft" Drogba is about to return from injury, and Mourinho no longer has to "make it difficult for a good woman to cook without rice". As for the "nuclear warhead" Sheva, a good recent performance will help him regain his position as the main force.
Some details of the game have been captured by the media, and what is even more unexpected is that just when the media was still talking about the game itself, Chelsea officials suddenly announced that head coach Jose Mourinho was out of class!
There is alarming news in the UK. First, the major British media revealed that Mourinho had been sacked from Chelsea, and then. The news has been officially confirmed, and the Portuguese manager's nearly four-year spell at Chelsea has come to an end.
It is reported that the trigger for Mourinho's sacking was Chelsea's 1-1 draw by Norwegian champions Rosenborg in midweek.
According to The Times, Mourinho was reprimanded by management after being held to a draw by Rosenborg. He then called Frank Lampard and said he had had had enough of the boss's pressure and was planning to leave. But no one expected that a day later, Mu Shuai's remarks would become a reality.
Chelsea are unbeaten at home in the league since taking charge of the Blues, going 66 games unbeaten (including late Ranieri in the latter part of the Ranieri period), while Jose Mourinho has never lost a home league game in charge of Porto and Chelsea, bringing together 101 games, an unprecedented record.
Mourinho had behaved in some unusual ways ahead of the lesson, speaking to his players for just two minutes in the dressing room after Tuesday's Champions League clash with Rosenborg.
According to British media, Mourinho was forced to step down, and Chelsea owner Abou previously convened a meeting of club officials to make the decision to let the manager go down; However, it is also said that Mourinho refused to endure Abu's increasing interference and made the decision to leave office on his own initiative.
In any case, Mourinho was a success, and his unusual style became a unique sight in the Premier League since he landed in England, and Mourinho's sliding kneeling became a classic when he played Barcelona at Camp Nou. Now, Mourinho is gone, and no one has used his body and passion to interpret this unruly but personal picture for the Premier League.
In fact, according to the analysis of authoritative British media, it is only a matter of time before Mourinho leaves. Because Abu is stingy in the transfer market this summer, it is difficult for Mourinho to buy the person he wants, and Abu's intention to buy Xiao Luo was not notified to Mourinho in advance, which has caused the peace that the two have built with great difficulty to break down again. After the start of the Premier League, Chelsea only achieved 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, which further intensified the contradiction between the two sides.
Chelsea's official website states: "After good negotiations, Mourinho and the club have agreed that he will no longer be the club's manager. 'For now, the Chelsea boss will be held by assistant coach Clarke. Abou will pay Mourinho, who is out of contract in 2010, a huge amount of around £6.5 million.
Mourinho won three league titles for the club during his three years at Chelsea, winning two League Cups and one FA Cup. They also reached the semi-finals twice in the Champions League, arguably the most impressive coaches in Chelsea's history.
Jose Mourinho is officially sacked from Chelsea, and there are plenty of reasons for the twists and turns. The main points are the following points that caused the madman to lose his job, and most of them are related to the boss Abu. It is worth mentioning that Chelsea CEO Kenyon has tried to protect Mourinho many times. But the latter always didn't know how to respect himself, and eventually attracted the disaster of killing.
Mourinho's utilitarian football is a benchmark for results. The Premier League title was defended in the first two seasons of his tenure at the Blues, and Abu enjoyed his success and put up with the hollowness of the team's game. However, last season the Madmen only topped up with two domestic cup competitions, and Abu was already unhappy, and the Blues started the season slowly, losing to Villa and drawing with Blackburn. The footage of Abu angrily throwing his hand away has shown the precariousness of the madman, who is not self-respecting and throws out a set of "egg theory". As a result, the home team was forced to draw by the Champions League fish belly Rosenborg, and Abu's last bit of patience was squeezed clean, and it was logical to fire the squid.
Abou saw Manchester United's thrilling clash against Real Madrid at Old Trafford and decided to buy Chelsea for a big buck. As a fan. He wants to see a beautiful game full of sparks. There is nothing wrong with it, but this qiē is the opposite of Mourinho's coaching philosophy. Jose Mourinho tried to compromise this season, but he didn't have the ability to combine beauty and efficiency in his own team, and in the end he didn't make a difference, the beauty didn't come out, and the results were lost again.
Without the dual offensive of Abu and Jinyuan, Sheva could not say goodbye to Milan in tears and chose Chelsea, and the same applies to Ballack. But Mourinho was dismissive of both of them. The "special one" has long threatened that "Chelsea has me as a superstar", how can he tolerate a "dressing room undercover agent" like Sheva. This season. Ukrainian nuclear warheads were frozen by him and reduced to the fourth striker. The "descendants" who personally recruited An suffered so much, how could Abu get by with his face.
Chelsea CEO John Kenyon has taught Mourinho to stop fighting in politics in the new season. But how can a madman hold this breath. The new technical director, Grant, who has been a close friend of Abu for many years, got carried away after taking over this season and said that he would sit in the coach's seat for the new season, which attracted a sarcasm from the madman, which must have entered Abu's ears as it was.
Similarly, when Abu poached youth director Arneson from Tottenham, Mourinho was also greatly resisted, and Chelsea later split into three factions: Mourinho's faction, which was supported by the players, Arneson's faction, which was strongly supported by the owner, and the neutral and unflattering Kenyon faction.
Abu, who tore the cheque in previous years and didn't look at the numbers, refused to invest in additional investment and expansion last winter because of his disagreement with Mourinho, which was considered by Mourinho to be the main reason for the failure to defend the title last season. And this summer, in the acquisition of Alves, after Kenyon had reached an agreement with Sevilla, Abou came forward to tear up the agreement, and Mourinho's recent "egg theory" is a continuation of this thread.
In the first half of the year, Mourinho and Real Madrid eyebrows under the nose of Abu, his agent Mendes took the information of Mu Shuai and Ronaldo to public relations everywhere in Madrid, although in the end Mu Shuai took the initiative to stop the agent from contacting the next family, but the bad image of "disloyalty" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. At that time, the media even listed Blackburn coach Mark Hughes, former German coach Jurgen Klinsmann, Dutch coach Guus Hiddink and other candidates.
Many people think that the breakup of Mourinho and Chelsea is a win-win good thing, Chelsea can use the solid foundation of the madman to transform into a beautiful style of play after having the prototype of a giant, and Mourinho can choose a new destination according to his personal wishes after being fed up with Abramou's resignation, but the reality is not the case, as long as we analyze a little more than we will find that Chelsea will not only not be able to achieve a beautiful transformation in the short term, but will also lose millions of supporters as a result, and the team's number one star Frank Lampard will also suffer.
From 04 years ago confined to the United Kingdom to today's all over the world, Chelsea's total number of fans can surge so much, reaching a level comparable to Real Madrid, Manchester United, Milan supporters, the number one contributor is not the net worth of tens of billions of Abu and his once money-burning investment, but because the Blues got the most charismatic Mourinho, his arrival has made countless cynical angry young people instantly find a soulmate who can be friends, a small number of these star-chasing fans are from home, and more are distributed in Asia, especially in China!
The surge in fans is a much-needed software on Chelsea's path to the big clubs, but the club hurts the fan-favourite coach with the same consequences, with the British Daily Express reporting in April that many "mad fans" with Chelsea season ticket holders had pressured Abou via email and stadium slogans to refuse to buy a £1,600 package for the 07-08 season if they did not do enough to ease their relationship with Jose Mourinho. As a result, they had a package of tickets as always, but the revered Mu Shuai walked away, and it was Abu who forcibly fired him. Or they can't bear the grievances and resign voluntarily, this is not the hardcore concern of the madman, what they have to do next is likely to tear up the home ticket in their hand, refuse to watch Chelsea's Qiē game again, and continue to follow the footsteps of the madman to the next team.
Frank Lampard's loss of madman tactics is likely to come to a halt, having been bought by Chelsea during the Ranieri era, but who saw the Blues' No.8 as the team's tactical centrepiece, top scorer, 'sapper master' and Ballon Silver. But it is Mourinho, who knows people well, and after the Portuguese madman arrived at Stamford Bridge in 04, he grasped the timing of Lampard's forward insertion and scored strongly in the situation of cover. A tailor-made tactical system for him that has continued to this day: the central winger stirs the ball in front, and the likes of Makeleleesin are responsible for the defense behind him, so Frank Lampard, known as a midfielder or central midfielder, has virtually become the number one ruler of the shooting power, and now Mourinho is gone. Frank Lampard, who was the first to receive a text message from his mentor about his resignation, wondered what to think. Perhaps he will be a little glad that he has not renewed his contract with the club so far, and if the new coach cannot maintain his existing privileges in the actual battle, he can choose to leave early and switch to Jose Mourinho to Tottenham or Inter.
The highlight of Chelsea and Manchester United is about to be staged, but one of the protagonists, the "magic bird", has inexplicably flown away, if the Red Devils win, the thrill-loving lord will feel that victory is not in danger, and now Benitez, who is still in Liverpool's position. Seeing that the opponents who are on equal foot and the former bosom friends who are also foreign workers have smashed their wrists, I believe that I will have mixed feelings in my heart. The chance to continue to show their superiority in the red and blue battle is over, and if you want to avoid being fired by new owners Hicks and Gillette, you have to work hard to win the Premier League crown this season!
On 20 September 2007, Jose Mourinho officially ended his three-year spell at Chelsea and left Stamford Bridge with his bags. But what is certain is that Chelsea will not be the madman's last stop, and he could still be a great writer elsewhere.
First of all, Mourinho's football philosophy applies to Juventus.
And if Mourinho does manage to take charge of the Bianconeri, he will repeat what he did three years ago - replacing Claudio Ranieri as the rein.
Juventus were considered the most lackluster team in Europe before Chelsea. Of course, this is inseparable from the careful tuning of the iron-fisted coach Capello. Under his teaching, Juventus are all big believers in 1-0ism. What Mourinho likes most about Juventus is that they currently have a number of versatile midfielders, including Jose Mourinho's favourite Thiago in Portugal.
Ranieri should only be a transitional candidate, and with his past qualifications, he does not have what it takes to take the team to the next level. And a superstar like Juventus obviously wants a champion coach like Jose Mourinho to take over. But the reason why it is difficult for the madman to join the Bianconeri is that with Juventus' financial resources at this stage, it may be difficult to pay his high salary in the Chelsea era.
The other possibility is Real Madrid, Real Madrid's new season is very ferocious, but coach Schuster revealed that he was leaving early. It seems that he still can't stand the many interventions of President Calderón in the team. The relationship between Mourinho and Real Madrid began to be hyped as early as the end of last season, and when training in the United States, the American media even revealed that Mourinho had initialed Real Madrid, which caused the madman to refute the rumors angrily.
But Mourinho did make a number of visits to Spain last season and had informal contact with Real Madrid officials. He himself said that it was a challenge and an honor for him to coach a team with such a long history as Real Madrid.
Real Madrid can offer Mourinho a salary equal to Chelsea's, but they also need Mourinho to bring good football, otherwise, even if they achieve glory, I am afraid that Mourinho will be purged like Fabio Capello last season. And this is something that Mu Shuai cannot guarantee. What's more, he is accustomed to being arbitrary, and he will never tolerate Calderón's fingers.
The last one may be Inter Milan, Moratti will not fire the coach Mancini, who has been trusted for many years, because of a defeat in one game like Abou, not to mention that Inter Milan has already taken shape, and a rash change of coach is bound to bring turmoil.
Moratti is a winner, and his style of play is too ugly to be considered. And with his deep pockets, he can definitely afford to pay Mourinho's annual salary, but Mancini's record in the past two years has been equally impressive. If there is a reason to do so, it is that the exchange for Mourinho is just a desire to make a breakthrough in European competition, and Mourinho will not have a good time if he fails to achieve satisfactory results in the highly fortuitous knockout rounds.
