Chapter 164: Golden Partner
PS: The opening of the World Cup of the World! The fans have a 4-year carnival coming, I wish you all a happy viewing, and of course, don't forget to support this book!
After the Community Shield, the league beacon was ignited quickly, and Chelsea's signings this season have already been in the spotlight for clubs, with the first game of the new season being particularly interesting as favourites and defending champions.
Wigan's goal can only be relegation. As a team that has never had Premier League experience, they are destined to face a tough new season. Head coach Jewell has experience in the Premier League, having led Bradford to promotion and relegation the following year, and it is clear that he wants to replicate that experience and lead the new team to stay in the Premier League.
On the face of it, Chelsea deserved the three points from the promoted side, but in reality, Chelsea's tactics were rather cautious, with Jonk netting the only goal of the game for the visitors to seal the three points.
Chelsea's first Premier League game is against promoted side Wigan, and for the cautious Mourinho, he doesn't want to capsize in the gutter and cast a shadow over his title defence from the start. Ahead of this game, Mourinho had already spoken that he knew the Wigan side as well as he knew Manchester United and Arsenal.
Speaking about defending the Premier League title for the new season, Mourinho said he doesn't mind winning in an ugly way. In last year's league campaign, Chelsea won 1-0 in 11 of their games, and there was criticism that Chelsea were too utilitarian and won in an unsightly manner.
But Mourinho said: "There are many ways to win games, sometimes you have to play defensive football. Other times we have to rely on long balls and short balls, and I don't mind how we do it to win games. As long as we can win the race in the end, just like last season, I hope we can win at least two titles in the new season. ”
Mourinho said: 'It took 50 years for Chelsea to win their first league title and I don't want to wait long for our next title. Modern football makes treble very, very difficult, and Manchester United have done it, and I wonder if any other team will be able to do it again. When I was in charge of Porto, I won the league and the European Championship. But I guess that's not possible in England. ”
Chelsea lost just one of their games last season, at the hands of Manchester City, but they also faced the dilemma of scoring too few goals at one point. However, this situation is expected to change completely in the new season. Crespo has returned to Chelsea after a one-year loan spell at AC Milan. Jose Mourinho believes his partnership with Didier Drogba will be the most terrifying strike pair in the Premier League.
Mourinho said: "My goalscorers will score more goals than last year in the league and I now have Crespo and Drogba, two incredible goalscorers. In addition, there are shadow shooters like Goodjohnson hiding behind the two. Also on the bench was Charlton Cole, grinding his fists. ”
Apparently the conservative questions of the media criticism were answered after the game, and in Mourinho's thinking, the score is not important, it is the three points that matter, and it seems that Chelsea are back to the same way they started last season.
Jonk was delighted that the Community Shield didn't play and he started again in the league and scored, especially as he and Ibrahimovic gradually found the same feeling they had at Ajax. If you want to talk about tacit understanding, it is easy to spark when the earliest brothers have love.
Relative to the period in Ajax. Training at Chelsea is more detailed and more scientific, the only downside is that there is a lack of collision between the players, it is difficult to spark, and the arrival of Ibrahimovic has gradually ignited Jonk, which is definitely a good thing.
Of course, there are good and bad, Ibrahimovic's competition for joining Chelsea's forward line is almost white-hot, Drogba, Ibrahimovic, Jonck, Gudjohnsen, which one is not a player with character and unwilling to be left behind.
Mourinho will need to put a lot of thought into finding the balance in the thorns, and the club have the money to provide a lot of bench depth, but too deep is also a worry, a happy one.
At least the combination of Jonk and Eevee is one step closer to recognition.
In the evening, the two returned to London and held a small banquet, which they had not seen for a year, and Eevee's arrogant nature was even more obvious, and from time to time he had to use his nostrils to point at the boss Jonck.
Fortunately, they know each other, Ibu is such a person, very proud, but he is also very good to his own people, it doesn't matter what jokes he sees, there are a bit of two extreme personalities, in fact, there are a few people who can really make Ibu recognize, and he can count them in the palm of one hand.
A genius like Eevee is like a lone wolf, but with Jonker, he's not alone now.
When the atmosphere reached a high point and Eevee took off his shirt, Jonk realized that before he knew it, the silly big man seemed to be much more mature, and he also had tattoos.
The pattern of a carp jumping over the dragon gate on the back is even more lifelike, professional player tattoos are not a new sound, many deadly stars have more or less some tattoos, some represent their own families, some represent some special dates, take a closer look at Ibrahimovic has been tattooed in a year.
"Boss, don't rub it, it's not paste, you can't rub it off, it's true!"
Ibu really had no choice but to say anything, he had to verify it with his own hands, which made him hurt and had to grit his teeth to stop it.
"It's true! If you want to get a tattoo, you won't call me, Zhilu said no! I've wanted to get a tattoo for a long time, and if the old man at home didn't agree, mine would be much better looking than you! ”
Jonk's subordinates have not stopped, and the good friends have changed a lot in a year, but the two of them still feel the same as before, he is still joking so much, and the rest of the words are the truth.
After listening to it, Ibu had a black line on his face, you want to get a tattoo, but you didn't get a tattoo, so what's wrong with my tattoo, who did you provoke?
"By the way, have you found a house? If you don't find it, move in and live together, I can live anywhere anyway! ”
Jonk finally got down to business, but his hand didn't leave Eevee's tattoo, and the plane was so scary that he didn't agree to move in with him. There is a tendency to rub it off.
"Can I say I've found it and won't move in?"
Eevee said a little resentment on his lips, but he was still quite moved in his heart. The boss is the boss, and Zhilu Dao cares about his brother, which is much better than someone.
"Ha Luha, what do you say!"
With a look of recognition, Jonk let go of Eevee's tattoo and raised his glass to drink.
Eevee didn't expect that Jonker would do what he said. That night, he moved the big man's luggage to his small villa.
No matter how small it is, it's a villa, and it's the kind with a garden and a gate. Eevee even felt that it was perfect to have two security guards lead two wolf dogs.
Unexpectedly, the boss mixed really well this year. The villas are all lived. You have to know that this is not a remote place, a rich area in London, or a villa, does the boss have any secrets?
"What to see, feel good, go in and choose your own room!"
Eevee obeyed and ran in with his front foot, and then ran out with his back foot at a rapid pace.
"Silly big guy, what the hell?"
Ibrahim's expression was more exaggerated than hell. Dancing fingers pointing back and forth.
"Speak, you're not dumb!"
"There are beautiful women. It's still a classic superb! It is said that old houses are easy to see that kind of thing, and your house doesn't look too old! ”
It's over, after listening to Eevee's words, Jonker knows that Ke'er is here, has the key to the villa, and can scare Eevee like this, who else can she be.
"When I have been with you in the villa, I can't have beautiful women! It doesn't have to be that to play if there are beautiful women! ”
Eevee looked at Jonker with a shocked expression, wasn't that a play, could it be a real person.
"Boss, introduce me!"
", that's my girlfriend!"
Jonk scolded, and walked inside.
"Ahh You're back! ”
"Wait a minute, put down the things in your hand first, you want to murder your boyfriend?"
Qiong Kexin said that this girl's reaction was too surprising, she didn't scream, but she was holding two knives, and she couldn't really get into people like this, what should she do if something really happened to a fierce one.
"That's my teammate just now, and I'm going to stay in the room!"
Ibu, who just walked in, happened to hear it, how did you become a cheater to eat and drink, obviously you had to pull in and live in, and when you saw the beauty, she immediately changed, and sure enough, the good brother is going to be betrayed, especially in front of the beauty, if you don't sell it, you have to sell it.
Yibu accepted his fate, put his luggage away, turned around and walked out of the house, he still got to know each other, go back to the hotel, don't affect others.
Jonk didn't even notice that the person was gone, and after a kiss, he just wanted to introduce the person, where could he still see the person.
"Look, scared my friends away! You are not allowed to take a knife next time, if you really enter someone, you will let him take it, do you know it? ”
"Zhilu said! You hate it! ”
Ke'er's words immediately made Jonke's index finger move, and a few men could hear such words, and what they said was annoying, but how could it sound like an extremely tempting sentence.
It's really good that no one is there, hugging Ke'er in his arms again, kissing passionately, closing the door with his hind feet, hugging the jade man and going upstairs directly, hehe, even if Ibu doesn't go, he can only drink the northwest wind outside the gate, and it's really wise to go.
When he saw Eevee again the next day, Jonker took the initiative to greet him and sit beside him to change his equipment.
"You can come tonight, welcome to stay!"
Ibrey ignored it, and only gave a roll of his eyes.
"What kind of expression, like a resentful woman, let you come!"
Jonker spoke hard, but his expression betrayed him.
"Ha Lu Ha, okay! Seeing that you are so pitiful, Uncle Ben will go where you live today! ”
The two were fighting, and soon training began.
That's what the Portuguese said and did in training. Since pre-season, the Portuguese has been targeted in training to try to get the two strikers together. The first appearance of the two strikers will give Mourinho even more conviction in his attempt.
The duo will also have more opportunities to play, and this season, Chelsea's attack will not only rely on wingers to break through the centre-forwards to grab points, but also 4222, 442, 4231 and other attempts.
It was a happy week for Jose Mourinho and, apart from the victory, Chelsea's seemingly dangerous midfield position in the middle of the field was brightened. Thanks again Abramovich!
Once again, the appearance of the Russian boss made everything possible to celebrate - to celebrate Mitchell. Essien's is coming! At the same time, another "Michael" all-round midfielder Mikael was also officially "sentenced" by FIFA: to return to Oslo. The transfer to Manchester United is invalid.
So, even though the second round of the league was about to start, Mourinho still led his two children to watch two movies in a week. Relaxing.
It's also a smile on the training ground!
Essien's decision to join Chelsea has finally ended one of the longest and most expensive transfer soap operas in football history.
The Ghanaian is set to move to Chelsea for £26 million and sign a five-year, £65,000-a-week contract. This is also the highest price Ab has paid for a player since he took over at Chelsea.
As with the prices previously announced by the outside world, this time Chelsea did not hide anything, whatever the price is, on the day Essien officially joined the team. Announce it loudly.
It's the right business for Lyon. Two years ago, they bought the Ghana midfielder from Bastia for just £5.5 million; For Abramovich. This is just a fraction of his £246 million investment in the club.
But for Chelsea, there may be more to it than that. The player, whom Houllier called "on a notch with Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard", was the best player of last season in Ligue 1 (Drogba was the best in Ligue 1 the previous season)!
The midfielder, nicknamed 'Bison', will not only be an alternative to the midfield position, but will also be a powerful addition to Chelsea's technical and physical ability in midfield.
But that's not all. This is the first time. Chelsea have truly attracted a 'quasi-superstar'! This is perhaps the most exciting news for Abu in the transfer market this season.
Rejections from superstars such as Adriano, Shepchenko and Ronaldinho have left Chelsea with the embarrassment of being "unattractive for money".
But this summer, after winning the league title for the first time in 50 years, Chelsea's appeal has been greatly strengthened, at least, Chelsea are Gerrard's "first choice" to leave Liverpool; At the very least, Wright Jr. personally called the Manchester City chairman and asked for permission to go to Chelsea.
And Ibrahimovic arrived. It also allowed the Chelsea people to see the growing appeal of the club.
And then Essien, which resolutely rejected Lyon's proposal to improve the treaty. And openly said: Chelsea, or strike to the end. And this is exactly what Premier League legend Lineker repeatedly mentioned in his own column in "Daily Telecom" - the chain effect caused by superstars (giving other superstars an "exemplary effect").
To be sure, this is an encouraging step forward for Chelsea. Even Abu's money will be an indispensable "guarantee".
The attitude of the players and the amount of the offer are also the reasons why Lyon have made the last concessions.
Lyon's Director of Techniques, Benard. Lacawby triumphantly said: "It's a huge deal, the same effect as Real Madrid's buying of Zinedine Zinedine Zidane and David Beckham. ”
Ola, who has always insisted on not compromising on a fait accompli, eventually relented to a fait accompli, admitting that the attitude of the players played a crucial role in this: 'I noticed that for two months we were paying wages to a player who didn't play and he looked desperate to go to England, to Chelsea. I've also noticed that our fans can't stand that anymore, and the shareholders are asking, what can we get out of this farce? We don't feel like we can force a player whose heart isn't here. The correct solution is not to let him go, but Mitchell has been working the wrong way for the past two months. ”
Ola lamented that he denied that money played a key role in this: 'Chelsea did make a big bid but in the sporting world we could have lost more, with Essien we have more chances to win the trophy but we have done everything we can and it's heartbreaking. ”
Finally, Mourinho's three-month persistent "pursuit" ended in success. The player himself was also relieved and happy in an interview with the team newspaper.
Mourinho's "three buys" before the end of last season have finally been completed with high quality.
However, another new signing, Wright Phillips, who cost Abou a fortune, withdrew from England's midweek warm-up game with a knee injury and is likely to miss the crucial weekend game against Arsenal.
It's the international break again, Jonker rushed to Portugal to participate, Ronaldo arrived at the same time, the two talked and laughed along the way, the two were competitors in the league, brothers in private, and even closer to the national team, like twins.
The future of the two stars is so harmonious, this is exactly what the Portuguese media said they want to see, although Jonker became famous a little late, in the eyes of the Portuguese media is somewhat late, who called Jonk himself and other Portuguese players The growth trajectory is not the same.
Which member of the Portuguese national team is not the darling of the first-class national team, and only played in the senior team after the last time, and was followed by the media all the way and chased all the way.
Jonker has only risen in the past two years, but this speed is like riding a rocket, beating others for several years a year, and now the media has to admit that Jonke's strength on the front line is more recognized by fans than other veterans.
That kind of impact is exactly what the Portugal international team has always dreamed of, and what is even more valuable is that Jonk's skills are not bad, not flashy, but very practical, and there is no problem with the rest of the team.
The two are the future expectations of the Portuguese national team, and neither of them is really a Portuguese player, but this does not prevent the media from being enthusiastic, unlike the two in the UK, where there will be doubts and accusations, and in Portugal there is only enthusiasm and enthusiasm from the fans.
Especially in the new generation of young people, the old golden generation they do not have a deep-rooted worship, and now they worship two similar peers, Jonk and Ronaldo, who are also affectionately called their golden partners. (To be continued......)
