If you want to conquer an empire, you have to destroy the castles of the empire. Last Sunday, Chelsea beat the home team 2-0 in Highbury, the worst bastion of the Arsenal dynasty, and what annoyed Gunners manager Wange even more was that after the game, "Conqueror" Mourinho actually trotted straight into the dressing room, without giving Wangge a chance to shake hands with him.

The relationship between Mourinho and the "professor" has been strained because he had previously attacked Wangge as a "voyeur" and has always refused to apologize. However, before this game, Wangge had already made a relaxed gesture: "I think things are over, the important thing is that everyone sees a good game. I want Arsenal to win, but I'll definitely shake his hand. I've always done that, and I respect everyone. ”

But whether before or after the game, the two rivals did not stage a "friendly" scene, which stunned the fans. Wangge just shrugged his shoulders after the game: "No handshake? I didn't even see him. Frankly speaking, I won't lose sleep tonight, it should be the other person's insomnia. Mourinho, on the other hand, was nonchalant when asked: "Do you think this is important? ”

In addition to complaining that Wange and Mourinho hate each other, making football more and more like a professional wrestling match, all England fans also accused Mourinho of being too childish and "arrogant".

One fan said: "Chelsea played like this, won 1-0 against Wigan, and accused the opponent of cheating injuries. Arsenal and Manchester United have never been good losers, and they probably have to be at this level, but Chelsea are not even good winners. If you lose the game, you will also be a birdman when you win. Then the whole of London will hate you. ”

Stamford Bridge immediately began crisis PR after news broke out against Chelsea. They released a version of the story on the 20th: it was Mourinho who intended to fix it first, and even sent a Christmas card. As a result, the "arrogant" Wangre burned down the plank road of Hehao.

According to Chelsea, Jose Mourinho has sent official Christmas cards to the managers of the other 19 Premier League clubs in keeping with club tradition. However, in the greeting card to Wange, Mourinho deliberately clipped a personal note. In the note, Mourinho apologized for his inappropriate rhetoric in the "voyeurism" incident: "The words I use to describe you are in no way intended to be a personal attack on you, and I hope you will believe that. If my words hurt you, then I apologize. But that was never my intention. ”

Previously, Mourinho had said that if Wange was willing to apologize for his speech after the "voyeurism" incident, he would also be willing to apologize. And now. By writing greeting cards, Mourinho has actually given way to it. But what the Portuguese didn't expect was that Wangre didn't even call him after the card was sent.

At the pre-match press conference, when asked by reporters if he and Mourinho would exchange greeting cards before the match. Wangge also did not seize the opportunity to disclose the matter. Instead, he said lightly: "It is a British tradition to give Christmas cards, and we French people only send New Year's cards." ”

What made Mourinho even more angry was that during the pre-match warm-up in Highbury, a member of the Arsenal coaching staff went out of his way to walk up to a member of the Chelsea coaching staff and ask if the greeting card had been written by Mourinho himself, which made the Portuguese feel that his integrity had been insulted. Just before the start of the game, Mu Shuai deliberately waited at the entrance of the passage, ready to communicate with Wangre, but the "professor" regarded Mu Shuai as transparent. Strattling past him like a Gallic rooster, paying no attention to the Portuguese. This hurt Mourinho deeply. After the handshake was frustrated, he shook hands with his three assistant coaches in turn after the game.

Arsenal responded: Wangge did not enter the field until the last moment, so he did not have time to communicate with his opponents. After the break, Wange was even 1 minute late to the dugout. Arsenal admitted to receiving Mourinho's greeting card, but did not comment on the contents.

In any case, Mourinho and Wangge's bond this time has become deeper, not to mention that there are spectators on the side to fan the flames. Former Arsenal goalkeeper coach Wilson jumped out to accuse Mourinho of arrogance: "I think if he wrestles now, a lot of people will be happy to see it." His claims about voyeurism are absolutely low-level, and the people around him say he's pretty good, but how can you not shake hands with the other person? His arrogance makes me uncomfortable. ”

However, for the upcoming Christmas, although the Premier League players cannot enjoy the holidays, the players of each team have their own wonderful Christmas night.

Carragher, Cream, and the Strippers, Savage, Wise, Sex Toys, and Teddy Bears, Captain Akuna and Hook, and Barton and His Human Ashtray...... This is the Christmas party for Premier League players.

The Times reported on the 19th brilliantly said: "People always accuse Premier League players of detaching themselves from ordinary fans, paying too high salaries, and rejecting people...... But during the Christmas holidays, they celebrate in the same way as ordinary people: they put on silly hats, set a table for 32 people at the local restaurant, drink the place dry, and flirt with the little girl at the cash register. ”

After a round of league fixtures last weekend, the Premier League will be closed until Boxing Day. What will the players do?

Here's what the Premier League's 20 teams have to do for this year's Christmas: Chelsea: The club's party took place on the 11th at the Elysium nightclub on London's Regent Street, when a large group of blonde supermodels lined up to enter the VIP box, only to be waved by captain Terry to let them all in. Terry, who had just won £200,000 at the casino that night, generously accepted the £30,000 bill. Instead of partying, head coach Jose Mourinho went to the BBC for the 'Sports Person of the Year' ceremony.

Arsenal: Long after party-goers like Adams and Merson, this year the Gunners only held a Christmas party in a London hotel, attended by all employees.

Aston Villa: In preparation for the games against Everton and Fulham, they will go to a secret place to relax.

Birmingham: Birmingham City won their first home game of the season last weekend and moved to Dublin, Ireland, to charter a pub to 'chill out'.

Blackburn: Savage, a Christmas party organiser at Blackburn, organised a make-up party at a Chinese restaurant in Manchester last week. That night. He gave up his appearance as an Afghan Hound in favor of Scooby-Doo Dogg, a fun photo that went viral in the media.

Bolton: As Bolton are yet to be out of the European competition. Reebok Stadium has been busy lately. So the players decided to have a low-key party at a local restaurant last weekend. Even players like Diouf don't have time to spit at parties or cause trouble.

Charlton: When head coach Kirbyshley announced the party plan in the dressing room, Charlton players were in a state of low mood as it was an official club centenary reception with sponsors at the Royal Lancashire Hotel in London.

Chelsea: The club's party took place at the Elysium nightclub on Regent Street in London on the 11th, when a large group of blonde supermodels lined up to get into the VIP box, only to be waved by captain John Terry for them all. Terry, who had just won £200,000 at the casino that night, generously accepted the £30,000 bill. Instead of partying, head coach Jose Mourinho went to the BBC for the 'Sports Person of the Year' ceremony.

Everton: The first-team players would go to a hotel in Liverpool city centre for an intimate, low-key dinner.

Liverpool: Busy playing in the Club World Cup and flying back. There is no time for a Christmas party.

Manchester City: Despite Barton's troubles at last year's Christmas party, Pierce allowed the players to relax and have a few drinks at a nightclub in Manchester this week. The coach himself will not be present so that the players will not be able to let go.

Manchester United: Christmas has been cancelled...... If it hasn't been canceled yet. That should at least be canceled.

Newcastle: Souness also cancelled the team-wide Christmas party, much to the delight of Newcastle fans.

Sunderland: Bottom of the Premier League, with just one win in 17 games, can they escape the law of relegation at the bottom of the Christmas period, as they did with West Brom last year? You can imagine how low-key and gloomy the team's Christmas party was.

Tottenham: According to head coach Joel. His players were ordered to celebrate Christmas a few weeks ago. Because the Dutch don't want to have a carnival night distract from the busy Christmas schedule.

West Bromwich Albion: The team enjoyed the night last weekend in a restaurant in Birmingham, owned by defender Jimeka's father, and I wonder if the team enjoyed the discount.

West Ham: The players enjoyed the night at Essex, while manager Pardew and his assistants shared dinner at a hotel in central London.

Wigan: Despite Wigan's great results, the team canceled the Christmas party "for the sake of relegation". Isn't this a humiliation for teams that are really struggling at the relegation line!

Fulham, Middlesbrough and Portsmouth: declined to reveal the team's Christmas plans.

There is no doubt that the Chelsea people were crazy on Christmas night, but they were also revelry capital.

On Wednesday and Thursday, Italy and Spain ended their worst match of 2005. Both the traditional top three of the Apennines and the upstart Fiorentina received early gifts: Juventus won the winter title and Inter completed a six-game winning streak. AC Milan and Fiorentina, who had been underperforming, also got timely victories.

Barcelona had a thrilling win over Celta to continue their frantic winning streak. For these teams. This Christmas and New Year will be wonderful. Real Madrid, who lost at Benab, had to have a very bad Christmas.

Christmas in Torino is set to be a very happy Christmas this year, and although Piero's hopes of scoring 183 goals to surpass Bonipelti ultimately did not materialise in 2005, Trezeguet, who has scored in nine consecutive games, has given the "Old Lady" the winter title. Meanwhile, the Frenchman also caught up with Baggio with 115 goals and is the 8th all-time scorer for Juventus. This is the 24th time Juventus have won the winter title, and they have had the best laugh on 16 of the last 23 times. This time, the 8-point advantage will also seem to be in doubt.

Milan City were in the same Christmas spirit, and despite the outstanding Adriano who was injured and briefly unconscious, he still managed his 15th goal of the season to help Inter Milan to a four-goal win over Empoli. This is Inter's sixth winning streak this season and, coincidentally, when Inter won the title in 1988/89, they also won six in a row before the winter. Even in the 1997/98 and 2001/02 seasons, which came closest to the title, the Nerazzurri's winter results were nowhere near as impressive as this year's. Although there is still an eight-point gap with Juventus, it does not affect Moratti's expectations for Manzini in the New Year.

Facing Livorno, a super dark horse who has been unbeaten at home this season, Gilardino and Shevchenko sealed the perfect ending for Milan with a three-goal victory. The pair have scored 20 league goals this season. It is the sharpest combination in Serie A at the moment. After this round, the gap between the top four and the trailing players widened to 5 points, and the winning team established its own range of power.

Contrary to the warmth of the Apennines, Iberia is experiencing a truly bitter cold. After Perez came to power. To be precise, Christmas in Madrid has been in a good mood for the past 10 years. In the first four years of Perez's tenure at Real Madrid, Real Madrid entered the winter break with three wins and one draw, and since last year, defeat has begun to haunt Benab's Christmas. Last year, Sevilla FC beat Real Madrid 1-0 in Benab. Although Baptista, who scored a goal for Real Madrid at the time, has moved to Real Madrid, Benab has suffered another defeat this year. It's been a terrible Christmas compared to previous years: December for the last 10 seasons. Real Madrid have only lost two games in total (48), but have already lost two of their five games in December.

After confirming that Carlo would remain in office until the end of the season, the Galactic Fleet continued to struggle internally and externally. The gang fighting in the dressing room also affected the process of the winter "tonic", and Real Madrid, who were already tactically unable to make a breakthrough. Facing Osasuna's continued strength and Valencia's strong rebound. Needless to say, the fight for the title, securing a Champions Cup spot is already a difficult task. Whether it's Perez or the 22 players in the first team, it's definitely been a tough year.

La Liga and Serie A will be rekindled until January 8, while the Premier League's Christmas campaign will be in full swing. Over the eight days from December 26 to January 3, four rounds will determine the Premier League's fundamentals.

Manchester United were also nine points behind Chelsea at this time last year, but at that time Chelsea won all four games in the Christmas campaign, and despite the Red Devils and Gunners both winning three and drawing one, they were still stretched by Chelsea. After that. There is no longer any suspense about the Premier League title.

Mourinho has more capital than last year. The Blues' four games this year have been underdogs in the lower middle of the pack and the team are still on a frantic run of home wins and five consecutive league wins without conceding a goal. While Stamford Bridge was on the rise, Highbury and Old Trafford were still in turmoil.

Manchester United not only has a tough bone like Bolton, but also wants to kill Arsenal in the first game of the new year. Compared to last year, Ferguson is more unlikely to close the gap with Chelsea. The only suspense comes from Benitez's Liverpool, but it is not easy to save the golden body of seven consecutive league wins after Newcastle, Bolton Wanderers and Liverpool derby.

It seems that this Christmas in England, perhaps only Chelsea is still partying.

And even more crazy things are about to happen.

What is most important in the 21st century? Talent, of course, talent! And this sentence is most vividly embodied in Chelsea owner and Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich. Now, his eye-catching man is Essien, the Ghanaian star who was poached to Stamford Bridge by the Blues for £38million in the summer, once again making Abou spend a lot of money. And this time, Abu wants the Ghanaians to practice the art of cloneping.

It all started with the Africa Cup of Nations. The biennial Africa Cup of Nations will be held in Egypt in January-February '06. As the core figure of the Ghana national team, Essien naturally has to serve his country loyally. According to FIFA regulations, Essien was supposed to report to the national team on January 7. If Ghana are lucky enough to reach the final of the tournament, Essien will remain in Egypt until 10 February.

Even if they don't come for the championship, this tournament is a rare training opportunity for the Ghana team that has reached the World Cup for the first time in history. However, it was also the busiest time for England. The league, League Cup and FA Cup will overwhelm the teams. Ghana national team coach Duyukovic and Abou, who are only interested in the trophy, certainly don't want their boss to miss out at such a crucial stage.

Serbian black Duyukovic is not soft, saying: "If he doesn't come back we will ban him, including the World Cup, but I know it's not a good idea. I believe we can reach a compromise on both sides and I hope Essien will be able to return before the game starts. I know Chelsea wouldn't have been able to cope with so many games without Essien, I understand their struggle, but Essien is also very important for Ghana. Chelsea have also come up with a solution to the problem, suggesting that Essien be chartered a private jet so that he can cope with the game on both sides. ”

Renting a plane for a player is absolutely unprecedented in history, but it was clearly the idea of the deep-pocketed Abu. As incredible as it is, this laid bare Abu's ambitions in plain sight. Perhaps, it is really "money can make grinding ghosts"!

As for Drogba, an Ivorian who also participated in the Africa Cup of Nations, Abu was not so generous. The boss was so favoritistic that Drogba felt the pressure. He took the initiative to stand up and say: 'It doesn't matter if I'm at Stamford Bridge or not, as long as I'm still on my Chelsea contract, I'm going to give 120 per cent for my club all the time. ”

Drogba said: 'When I was at Chelsea, I gave 120 per cent for the club, even when I went to the national team and at any other time. I am a lucky player and my destiny has changed in the last 3 years. I've gone from being a bench player in the French second division to where I've been working hard. "At the end of the day, though, Chelsea's injury situation is not optimistic, with winger Duff and left-back Del Hornau both unavailable, and it's hard to say if Didier Drogba and Essien are out again after 10 January.

But positionally, Chelsea still have plenty of personnel to reserve in Drogba's position, with Swedish striker Branovic and youngster Carlton Cole both available.

However, defensively, with Jose Mourinho selling Parker to Newcastle at the start of the season, they will be left alone with Claude Makelele if Essien is absent. For a team like Chelsea, which started out defensively, this is unacceptable to Mourinho.

However, this period has been fraught with uncertainties for Chelsea. A nine-point lead is not safe and they still need to watch out for United's counter-attack.

Abu's madness is for Chelsea's last title win, but for Jonker, it's all about big brother friendship.

There's no reason why Abu shouldn't give his little brother a big Christmas present, a villa in Cobham, where the new training base is located, plus a Ferrari in the garage.

Jonk is very calm, but Ibrahimovic can't be calm, the club owner sends a sports car, this is not new, many times it is provided by the team sponsor, the boss is also borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, Abu personally sent it, the problem is that the luxury car is just a giveaway, compared to Cobham's villa, Ferrari is nothing.

Looking up and down Jonke, Ebu really looks like Zhilu Dao, in the more than a year that he has not been there, has this big brother and Abu any passion that is not known by the outside world.

"Boss, do you have a leg with the big boss!"

"Mao's has a leg, I found out that you don't play football, and you also have food to eat when you go to be a gossip reporter, what kind of eyes? Is it good to have a completely private friendship? ”

Jonk was very uncomfortable with Eevee, and the media had reported on his personal relationship with Abu in the past, but it was not as rich in comradeship as Eevee thought.

"Look at it, and say no! Don't explain, I know everything, some sacrifices are necessary! ”

"You know what you know, you know a fart! It was revolutionary friendship, the same as ours! ”

Jonk wanted to kick the big gossip with potential.

However, when Jonk finished speaking, Ibu really understood, and his face bloomed with a smile, revolutionary friendship?

Maybe other people can't understand this kind of vocabulary with obvious Chinese colors, Ibu understands, rising to such a friendship, it's not an ordinary friendship, together with the sister, the girl, I feel like a bargain!

"Can you do it next time?"

Before Ibu finished speaking, Jonker moved his shoulders, and the big man's hands were already pinched on Jonker's shoulders.

Small! Count on your acquaintance, Jonk couldn't help but nod his head as he enjoyed the massage with his eyes closed. (To be continued......)
