It was possible to make Chelsea news in a row, but it couldn't stop this solid team from giving up the win.

3-1, with Manchester United being held to a draw by Blackburn, only 9 points from the next 7 rounds will ensure the league title. After the home game against Fulham, Chelsea can lift the trophy early on 23 April.

The three points at Southampton increased the number of league points to 80, the highest Chelsea record in the English top flight in 100 years.

Of course, this record is insignificant, but the team has a higher goal: just four wins and one draw to break United's single-season record of 92 points set in 1993/1994. As long as you win all 7 rounds, you can still get an unprecedented 101 points. Finishing the season in triple digits is unprecedented, and I'm afraid it's hard to find anyone who comes after him.

Maybe you can kick Mourinho out of the centre of the pitch but you can't get him out of the media spotlight...... On April 1, an April Fool's joke made the British media happy: Portugal's SIC TV had just signed Mourinho to host a talk show, and the news broke that Mourinho would consider resigning because he did not receive enough support.

And the reason is clear: Chelsea Village chairman Barker went to Nyon to steal the limelight from Mourinho, and his apology to Friske also made Mourinho very embarrassed.

Chelsea spokesman Alan Greenberg was dismissive: 'I've never heard him say it's just spam, it's April Fool's Day. "And Mourinho, didn't even bother to say a word. He hurriedly ran on the team bus and took with him assistant coach Clark, who had been doing the "press release" for him.

Only the German youngster Huter was left. At the press conference, he was "chased and intercepted" by the media.

There is no problem with the league title, Mourinho has already started to prepare for the upcoming Champions League, and sending Hutt to "host" the press conference is the best signal. But the silence of the Portuguese did not let the others let him go. Mr. Bosman, whom he had not seen for a long time, also shouted to The Independent that his bill had benefited the world. Abu should be paid for forming a star fleet. It seems that Chelsea's 100 seasons are destined to be spent in ups and downs.

In fact, everything was already in the making, and sure enough, Chelsea, who had been in trouble, were finally in trouble, and big trouble.

Before the start of the quarter-finals of the Champions League. The five-member UEFA disciplinary committee has announced its handling of Chelsea and Blues boss Jose Mourinho at its headquarters in Nyon: the Portuguese will be suspended for the two-legged Champions League match against Bayern Munich and fined 12,900 euros; Chelsea FC was also fined €48,400; Mourinho's co-accused, assistant coach Clark and security officer Myers, were given warnings.

UEFA laid out the reasons for the punishment: Chelsea "made false declarations" and "deliberately created a toxic and negative atmosphere". Refusing to attend the post-match press conference was convicted of "defaming the reputation of football". UEFA says Chelsea can appeal Mourinho's suspension within three days. The Champions Cup will start next Wednesday.

Two game suspensions. What does it mean, or the penalty announced immediately before the start of the game, the Chelsea people simply have no time to deal with all this, and the next two crucial eliminations in the Champions League will lose the manager's on-the-spot command.

Jose Mourinho himself did not attend the hearing, but Chelsea chairman Booker, who was present on behalf of the club, said an appeal was unlikely: "I think the hearing was fair and comprehensive. We hope that this is the end of the matter. We are unlikely to appeal, but we reserve the right to hear an official explanation from UEFA. ”

Just a few days ago, Chelsea were clamoring for an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. UEFA have also threatened to disqualify them from home. It seems that Chelsea's hard-line attitude has finally forced UEFA to play into the trap. There was no extreme punishment to expel the Blues from the Champions League or to suspend Mourinho for five matches until the final. Chelsea, on the other hand, are not willing to dwell on it in their long-term interests.

Chelsea also admitted at the hearing that it may have been a misunderstanding that the team's employees, Clarke and Myers, claimed to have seen Rijkaard enter the referee's dressing room: there was a glass partition at the end of the tunnel in Campano, the visiting dressing room from the partition to the left, the home team's dressing room from the partition to the right, and the referee's dressing room going around the glass partition, but the home team's dressing room could also go the other way behind the glass partition. Former bosses Cruyff and Rijkaard have both followed this path regularly, which has led to misunderstandings among Chelsea people who are not familiar with the situation in Campano.

For Chelsea, the more important issue now is to consider how to circumvent UEFA's suspension: unlike domestic leagues such as the Premier League, UEFA not only prohibits the suspended manager from sitting in the dugout, but even prohibits him from communicating with the players by any means, and is not allowed to enter the dressing room, the players' tunnel and the technical area before and during the game.

In the two Champions League games on the 6th and 12th, UEFA will send two officials to guard Jose Mourinho.

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho will be in close proximity to two UEFA officials in the stands during his two bans. This means that all his actions will no longer be free, and it will be impossible to send a few text messages to the bench as he used to.

This is not the first time Mourinho has been suspended by UEFA, having also supervised from the stands when he led Porto to in the UEFA Cup two years ago.

Jose Mourinho had voluntarily confessed in his autobiography when Porto and Lazio met in the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup, and he won the match by texting the caretaker coach in the dugout from his laptop in the stands.

The Portuguese even proudly stated in his autobiography, "I can contact the players even from the stands." "This time, though, Mourinho won't be able to make any moves in the stands.

In a statement issued by UEFA, it read: "Not only will Mourinho not be in the dugout, but he will not be allowed in the dressing room, the tunnel or the technical area during the game, and Mourinho will not be allowed any form of contact with the team during the game." ”

Jose Mourinho must now regret it, and it was his self-destructive trick in his autobiography that made UEFA special this time. In that game two years ago. Mourinho pretended to talk to his colleagues in the broadcast box, but in fact secretly sent a lot of text messages to the bench to convey the change of formation plan and strategic instructions. The first one asks the players to look at themselves in the stands before the game starts. One of the games said, "Tell all the players to put pressure on the linesman." ”。 He also had people warn Deco: "Tell Deco that I'm upset and let him be more serious." ”

At the same time, some old domestic opponents have also begun to stand up and express their views.

Chelsea's arch-rivals, Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger, have commented that Chelsea are not morally superior despite leading in points. At the same time, he believes that Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich should speak up and tell Mourinho to keep his mouth shut.

Arsene Wenger thinks. It would be nice if Abu could say something, "he's a man of his word in the club". Abu should have told Mourinho what he should do and how to regulate his words and actions.

Arsene Wenger said. "I'm going to make mistakes. Ferguson makes mistakes but we are all under pressure because our mistakes are in the game. Somebody in the club should be talking, or the coach or the chairman, telling them how to discipline what they say and do, but I don't think that's the case at Chelsea. ”

Arsenal were knocked out by Bayern Munich in the Champions League and the German will be Chelsea's next opponent, Arsene Wenger believes in the competition. Just sending Jose Mourinho to the stands won't hurt Chelsea much, 'You can't say they were punished harshly. He can command in the hotel, and he still has people around him to communicate with. Such a punishment has a great impact on the coach and the punishment on the team."

Arsene Wenger was also suspended for European football once when he was in charge of Monaco, "I was also suspended for one game when we played against Poland and the referee was very angry and he didn't like my face, he didn't even understand what I said, he spoke German and I spoke French".

Arsenal and Chelsea have been at loggerheads this season, with the recent private contact with Chelsea by Kerr, which has made the relationship even worse. Arsene Wenger was the first to stand up in the league last year, and this year he watched Chelsea stand up for it, which is not difficult to explain why Arsene Wenger was the first to stand up and speak.

For the rest of the FA Cup, Mourinho chose to play it in a crazy way.

Gambling, any good commander would not want to touch this word, because gambling often indicates the last option, and when a manager starts gambling, it is also a sign of the abnormal state of the team.

Jose Mourinho has been in this situation before. The FA Cup quarter-finals were away to Newcastle, and in the run-up to the Champions League in a few days' time, Mourinho took his first gamble with six key players.

As a result, just four minutes into the game, Kluivert's header left Cudiczini's goal missing. Mourinho, who walked on the edge of the cliff, gambled again at the beginning of the second half, he replaced Duff, Goody Johnson and Frank Lampard in one go, but three minutes later, Bridges was seriously injured, and the Blues could only 10 men to respond to the substitutions, Cudicini was sent off before the break, and Chelsea, who played in the last nine men, missed the opportunity to compete for the FA Cup.

Both gambles ended in failure, with Mourinho only lamenting his "bad luck". Thankfully, Chelsea's strength minimised the impact of luck in the games that followed, but a bigger 'gamble' loomed in the middle of the week.

Arjen Robben was injured two weeks ago, but the presence of Joe Cole appears to ease the Blues' pain. But Ferreira also broke a bone three days later and Chelsea really had an earthquake.

It's fair to say that Ferreira's role in the Chelsea squad is not comparable to that of John Terry, but in the current situation: Bridge has been injured before, Gallas has to be on the left, Smerding has to play as a back-on, Johnson is young and tender, and Ferreira is the unshakable man in the Blues' defence. Jose Mourinho fielded young right-back Glen Johnson in this round of the Premier League. It seems inevitable, but in fact it is a last resort. Johnson became the only candidate for Mourinho. But is he up to the task?

The match against Southampton proved Johnson's initial test, and he turned the opponent's left side upside down, especially in the first half, a long-distance run of nearly 50 metres and an assist, throwing off four defenders in a row, which was a surprise.

But Southampton is not Bayern, just like he was played by Ronaldo against Barcelona and went to Europe. His sharp attack could well be reduced to mediocrity in the face of a solid defence, and instead Bayern could be able to spot his openings at the back. Both Ronaldo and Eto'o have set a good precedent.

Pacos Ferreira may not be the thickest wall in the Blues' defence, but he was a key player in Porto's European title triumph, an experience Johnson cannot match.

Unsurprisingly, Johnson will start against Bayern Munich against another experienced veteran, Lizarazu, in a game that is more important than against Barcelona. Jose Mourinho has a 50% chance of gambling successfully.

And once one of the two full-backs is injured in the other position, Chelsea will have to make a cameo with Smerking, and the uncertainty will increase further.

One thing was quite surprising. Jonker, who has been in a strong form lately, doesn't seem to have any intention of letting him play in the Champions League, as evidenced by some details taken by the media on the training ground. The main players who will be playing will always be called aside by Mourinho to say something. And Jonk can only act as a spectator.

Like Chelsea, Bayern have also experienced attrition. Peruvian striker Pizarro has picked up an injury in the league and is set to miss the Stamford Bridge game. There are also doubts about the availability of his striker partner Mackay.

The Dutch has been bothered by a thigh injury, but according to Munich, Bayern are working hard to treat Mackay. As the team's top scorer in Europe, Mackay is currently tied with Inter striker Adriano for second place in the Champions League. If neither Pizarro nor Mackay are available, Bayern will be left with Guerreiro and Ashmien in attack.

However, after a comprehensive analysis, the impact of Chelsea's injuries is even greater. The uncertain "crisis" caused by Johnson has already been mentioned above. The impact of Robben's absence does not need to be elaborated.

On the other hand, Bayern, although the lethality of the forward line has decreased significantly. But midfielder Ballack's attacking prowess is there for all to see. In addition, Bayern, who are playing away from home, will definitely put defense first, and not conceding goals is more important than scoring goals.

This was evident in the quarter-final against Arsenal, who lost to Arsenal by one goal at Highbury but won by a big margin at home to secure a place in the last eight.

The situation in front of Mourinho is grim enough, the Portuguese almost used all their ability to defeat Barcelona, and the post-match verbal exchange made Mourinho a football "public enemy", and now all the means have been exposed, and there is no choice in sending troops, will Mourinho still be the winner?

Jonker didn't play in the FA Cup, but he was very happy, which shows that there is a play in the Champions League, and he thought he was out of play before, but now it seems that there is hope.

But when the club announced the squad, he was disappointed, without his name, not dazzling, really not, he really didn't, he wanted to ask if he was in a bad state, or there were other reasons.

Jose Mourinho is not in the mood to answer questions at the moment, in this week's Champions League, Chelsea against Bayern Munich will be the focus of the game, Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho was banned by UEFA for attacking the referee in the last round of the league, however, it does not look like this will have any impact on Mourinho, he has already prepared a plan to deal with Bayern Munich.

At this moment, the Portuguese young marshal is doing everything possible to regain this disadvantage.

The Observer article believes that Jose Mourinho will certainly find a way to communicate with his team, so there is no need to worry about sending the stands to the detriments affect the Blues' prospects. UEFA's final handling of the Barcelona affair ended with a ridiculous fine and Jose Mourinho's two-match ban, and Chelsea's ability to mediate led to the belief that the Kolmen affair would not cause much damage to Chelsea.

Chelsea are ready to deal with the game in Mourinho's absence.

Training will continue on Tuesday and he will be at the hotel at 4pm on Wednesday to give a lecture to the players, which will be key to Chelsea's preparation.

At the 1996 European Championships, Venables analysed all the strengths and weaknesses of the Netherlands in the hotel in the same way and built up confidence in England's victory, "We knew the Dutch could not win", said Sheringham of the 4-1 victory.

Because UEFA will carry out a "close pressing" tactic against Mourinho, he will not have the opportunity to command on the spot. Mourinho will prepare a video tape to explain Bayern's performance, and he will also arrange many details and tactical arrangements of the game to assistant coach Clarke in advance, and only after arranging his bag will he go to the stand and watch him plan for a victory.

Even if there is the biggest accident, Mourinho is not out of the question, the Portuguese can nod, blink and other methods, to convey his tactical ideas in a timely manner, UEFA is impossible to ban him from using expressions.

The Observer commented that Chelsea's diplomatic battle for Niang had a partial victory, and now that they have the Carabao Cup in hand, the Premier League is not far away, and now the Champions League will be their biggest test. Perhaps it will be after the end of the season that one can judge whether Mourinho is smart enough to help his team through the difficult times.

A fierce game, a manager with a rich expression, the game has not started yet, and the highlights worthy of people's attention have already made people's blood boil, and they can't wait for the game to start immediately. (To be continued......)
