Chapter 198: The Sad Joe Cole
PS: The child has a high fever continuously, keeps hanging in the water, and is depressed!
Frank Lampard's rise has to be credited with Jose Mourinho's name on the books.
Of course, no one can deny Mourinho's role in Chelsea's rise. The Portuguese's insight, vision and bold innovation combined with Abou's golden dominance have catapulted the Blues to become one of Europe's top teams in a short period of time. Of Mourinho's many moves, which one has worked the most for Chelsea?
In an interview with The Sun, Frank Lampard spoke to him about his feelings.
Lampard said: 'For me, the most rewarding thing is that he has built me up with confidence. He told me that I was a vital player in this team and was the heart of the team. 'Frank Lampard came to prominence during the Ranieri era and went on to excel at the European Championships in Portugal to establish himself as a regular in the national team. However, when Jose Mourinho took over at Chelsea, Frank Lampard rose to the pinnacle of football, winning the Premier League and League Cup with the Blues last season, and finishing second in the European Ballon d'Or and World Footballer of the Year award at the end of last year, behind Brazil's Ronaldo.
'Jose Mourinho is completely different from the managers I've worked with in the past. 'He's a master tactician and he has a deep understanding of every player in the squad [characteristic] and a fairly sensible, objective view of the fighting power of the squad as a whole. In addition, he prepares thoroughly and meticulously for the different opponents he encounters each week, which are the reasons for his success. ”
Jose Mourinho always comes across as serious and arrogant in front of the cameras, but Lampard revealed. The madman is a "joker" in private. "After the game or during the break, he was like a companion to us. He has a great sense of humor and often jokes. Not only did not lower the status. It made the players respect him more. ”
Chelsea signing Maniche has had more say when it comes to Jose Mourinho, and this is his third collaboration with the madman. In England, Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has long been hailed as a professor, but Maniche says Jose Mourinho is the best "teacher". "I'll just call him Professor." "My teammates and I have learned a lot from him. He's a very special guy and he has a great relationship with all the players. And he works diligently and has a flexible mind. ”
Now it looks like Chelsea are back again, hello, everyone. The results are wonderful, and there are voices of praise.
However, while the British media is complimenting Chelsea, they are also paying attention to another focus battle!
Battle for the Top? No, it's just a battle between Manchester United and Arsenal......
10 years ago. Such words will only become a joke. At the time, the Premier League was dominated by the Red Devils and the Gunners, but now, the clash between the two teams is a historic heavyweight, with the 21-point and 13-point gap in the table showing a difference in weight from the team at the top of the table, so it's no wonder Jose Mourinho showed disdain for the underdog after winning the first day. "Did you watch Arsenal's broadcast of Manchester United? It depends on my wife, what shows I watch and what I listen to her. ”
Arsenal 0-0 Manchester United. That means Chelsea have won again. In the face of the Blues' consistency, Highbury's draw was also a failure for United.
In the past, the Red Devils had been the absolute protagonists of the duels, but this time the situation changed, and the blue shadow seemed to be pervasive, seeping into every corner of Highbury. Before the game, there was talk of Manchester United having to win because Chelsea had won the day before, and after the game, Ferguson and Arsene Wenger turned to Chelsea.
'Chelsea have been more consistent than us and now we don't see anyone being able to catch them.' Speaking after the game, Ferguson said his words were 'rare' for Arsene Wenger: 'For now, given Chelsea's points advantage, Ferguson is right. In this regard, the British news agency joked: Chelsea has allowed Ferguson and Wenger to finally have a common language.
Commenting on the game after the game, the two managers were talking more about Chelsea. 'At the end of the day we want to be as consistent as Chelsea,' said Ferguson, 'and we have a young team that will get better. We want to be the closest team we can get to Chelsea and if they fall, maybe they can't. Arsene Wenger analysed the reasons for Chelsea's strength: "Look at Chelsea, they have a mature squad, most of the players are between 25 and 30 years old, they have quality and confidence, we are a young team and it's important for us not to lose a big game. ”
The words of Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger effectively admit that Manchester United and Arsenal are both in transition. In the past, they were reluctant to admit this in order to stabilize the morale of the army, but the gap in the standings cannot be hidden, and their team is indeed relatively young and needs time to grow. In a sense, the "time of day" belongs to Chelsea, Manchester United's 92 generation is either separated or old, Arsenal sold Vieira to artificially create a lack of success, so that the past peak duel has become today's battle of honor, so that Chelsea has become a shadow that Manchester United Arsenal can't shake off, when Ferguson and Wenger fight to the death, Mourinho can even choose to watch or not.
The dreaded Christmas and New Year's dinner ended with the Chelsea man triumphing.
In the UK, at least for the Christmas and New Year days, men and women can stay away from each other. From Boxing Day onwards, women rush headlong into shops large and small that begin to "sell" and "fire sale", while men sit at home, open a can of beer, and do not have to ———go out for days to watch the game.
Of Europe's top five leagues, only the Premier League does not have a winter break. Not only did it not stop, but it became more lively. For about ten days from Boxing Day on December 26 last year to the middle of the week, each team played four games. This is the second year in a row that fixtures have been so tightly scheduled, and this year, three games at Bolton, Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle were cancelled on 28 December due to weather conditions. This has caused displeasure among some coaches, who believe that the Premier League is responsible for such a "crazy" schedule and make changes the following year.
Mourinho is not complaining, because it is the same as last year. Of the 20 teams, only Chelsea have won all four of their matches. And it seems that the Portuguese are more confident and experienced in the four games of the New Year's campaign this time. After Monday's 3-1 away win over West Ham. They are on a nine-game winning streak since losing to Manchester United in early November. This is the second time they have won nine in a row this season, the last time being in the first round of the league before they were held to a draw by Everton.
Don't forget, they've only played 21 league games in total. Yes, there is no need for Mourinho to complain, his team have enough control and bench depth to face even such a terrible schedule because they are the real champions.
The other team that has won all of their last ten days is not Manchester United, not Liverpool, but Blackburn. Except for that cancelled home game against Sunderland. Hughes's side have quietly risen to eighth place in the table with back-to-back victories over Middlesbrough, Wigan and Portsmouth.
Liverpool were forced to give up their ten-game winning streak after being held to a 2-2 draw by Bolton Wanderers on Monday. But they are still one of the few teams that are unbeaten in the last 10 days. Benitis has put the team firmly in third place, just three points behind United with a game in hand. In addition to the teams mentioned above (Arsenal vs Manchester United have not yet been played at the time of writing), the other team that remain unbeaten on Christmas and New Year is Aston Villa. Following a 4-0 thrashing of Everton on Boxing Day, they drew with Fulham and Arsenal in quick succession. The latter came with a 2-1 win over West Bromwich Albion in Monday's regional derby. The ranking rose to 12th place.
As for Arsenal and Manchester United, it's hard to get in the festive mood. Arsenal beat Charlton Athletic and Portsmouth before being held to a draw at Villa Park. Manchester United were also robbed in the city of Birmingham, who were held to a 2-2 draw by Birmingham on 28 December, leaving Alex Ferguson with a tasteless 64th birthday on Chinese New Year's Eve.
Of the top six teams, Tottenham and Wigan have both been inconsistent during this period. Joel's side suffered a 2-0 win over Birmingham City before losing to West Brom by the same scoreline. Wigan have won three in a row since losing to Arsenal, Tottenham, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United since the start of the Devil's schedule on 19 November: a 3-0 win over Charlton Athletic with a Kamara hat-trick in the pre-Christmas round and a 4-3 thrashing of Manchester City on Boxing Day. They then won 2-0 away at West Ham. However, they suffered a 3-0 defeat at home to Blackburn Rovers on Chinese New Year's Eve and a 2-0 defeat to Birmingham City three days later. It's confusing.
In the middle of the table, Bolton Wanderers and West Ham are rocking and it is Newcastle who fall. In the Boxing Day games against Liverpool and then against Tottenham, Souness's side not only lost, but they lost ugly. At White Hart Trail, they also lost Owen. The England striker broke his fifth metatarsal in a collision with international team-mate Robinson and will be sidelined for almost three months. So it's not a quiet New Year for Eriksen either.
Happy New Year? Downgrading is not happy. Everton, despite being beaten by Villa and Liverpool, have gone on to win Sunderland and Charlton Athletic to temporarily jump out of the relegation zone. Middlesbrough's record of three draws and one defeat still leaves them on the edge of a cliff. Portsmouth and Birmingham City are on four points from all four games to move straight ahead of West Bromwich Albion. Only Sunderland is still at the bottom of the well, and it seems that Sunderland fans really might as well go shopping with their wives.
After the watershed, the Premier League is even more outstanding, which also makes the Premier League's championship situation boring, but Chelsea fans can look forward to the next Champions League game, and meet Barcelona again, not only the old grudges between the two teams will not dissipate, but the new feud will definitely come, but I don't know which team will go home to lick the wound and heal.
As for a game like the FA Cup, Chelsea were able to cope with it with half reserves and half main team, easily knocking out Huddersfield 2-1, but there was no need to be so serious in the third round.
After the victory, some players led by captain Terry went to a high-end nightclub in London to celebrate the victory, and happened to meet several well-known female models in the Fengyue venue were also there for pastime, Terry, who has always liked to show strength in front of women, went crazy, and even performed a strip show in public, and the scene immediately sounded a burst of applause and screams, and the female models looked at Terry's eyes full of passion, which may also be the first time that the merry prince Terry was so happy, and the people present also cheered him on, and the scene was in full swing.
The 24-year-old was clearly in high spirits that night, as he and a few friends, including Joe Cole, Jonk, Rio Ferdinand and Sheringham, spent a while in the VIP room before seeing them. Several female models immediately stepped forward to greet Trita, and with the addition of these women, the atmosphere in the private room suddenly became more enthusiastic. And Terry was certainly the center of attention.
A waiter at the nightclub said: "Those female models are so adored by Terry and other stars, they want to spend a happy night with them, they don't want to leave in the private room, Terry has no intention of letting them go, it is clear that Terry is proud of being able to attract so many beautiful women, he even began to deliberately show off." All of a sudden, I noticed him jump on the couch and take off his sweater. Then he made an exaggerated gesture of pulling the pants chain, which caused the female models to scream one after another. ”
A friend also said: "Terry then held his T-shirt high and kept waving it on his head, and everyone cheered for him, and one of the female models was also a little emotional." She couldn't help but kiss Terry's face. Terry didn't say no, either. I really don't know what Connie, Terry's fiancée, who is already pregnant with twins, will think after watching this scene. ”
"There is a person who seems very low-key, he is our old guest, not at all like his usual style, maybe I will say it if I know it, who knows it!"
The Sun tried to get some offcuts for Jonck, but dug up Terry's debauchery, but the end was good.
It wasn't until the wee hours of the morning that Terry left the nightclub with Joe Cole and Jonck. And the sexy female models obviously hadn't had enough of it, and they pulled Terry to keep him from leaving. But Terry was a little more sober by this time, and he thought that Connie was still waiting for him at home, so he refused to accept the models.
It is conceivable that when Connie gives birth to a baby and Terry has a wedding with her, perhaps the disappointment will not only be the loss of a regular patron of the nightclub, but also the loss of those female models.
The small party of three of Chelsea's England gang didn't cause much of a stir, but one of the three paid the price for his affair soon after.
Don't think crookedly, it doesn't have to be Jonker, this time the main character is Joe Cole.
Chelsea midfielder Joe Cole was really on the back foot two nights with Chelsea captain John Terry, Jonk and Manchester United's Rio and Manchester United's Rio Anderson.
The 19-year-old Kili is extremely sexy and charming, has everyone's favorite breasts, and is also a well-known star, during which she has been flattering Cole, which made Cole a little eccentric, and when the two of them were sitting on the sofa flirting affectionately, an uninvited guest suddenly broke in, and couldn't help but break up and beat Cole is violent beating, as a result, Cole was beaten with blood all over his face and fled.
Friends revealed that Keely and Cole were indeed a little too intimate that night, and the man who suddenly rushed in was Kiely's ex-boyfriend, the whole scene was too scary at that time, everyone drank a little wine, the man was angry, and walked over to Cole, and couldn't help but say that grabbing Cole's collar was a burst of punching and kicking, and Cole, who was a little drunk, was already at a disadvantage before he woke up. Seeing Kerr running out of the jab with his bleeding face covered, several other players also went to comfort him in shock.
During the process, the man also threw some of the decorations in Kieli's house to the ground, leaving her house in shambles. Interestingly, Cole was so frightened that he didn't even wear shoes and buttoned his shirt, and a witness said: "It was 5 o'clock in the morning, Cole had a lot of blood on his body, and there were obvious abrasions on his face, and it seemed that he was not lightly injured this time." If you hadn't seen it up close, no one would have recognized it as Cole. I also saw him escape by jumping out of a window. ”
Friends said that after escaping from Kiely's home, Cole realized that he was covered with injuries and blood on his face, and in the fight with his rival, Cole's shirt was torn, his wallet was lost, and his mobile phone was missing, which was extremely embarrassing.
Another witness said: "I didn't recognize it at first, it was Cole, he was like a little hooligan, where is the shadow of a millionaire star?" He had blood on his face and clothes, and it was clear that he had been beaten up, and if I were a taxi driver, I wouldn't have dared to let him get in. Later, I saw a taxi driver who agreed to get him into the car, but only if his family had to wait outside the car to pay the fare when he arrived at the destination. ”
A source later said: "Cole was only thinking about escaping as soon as possible, otherwise he might have lost his life." Cole is said not to have called the police because it wasn't a glorious thing for him, and if Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho knew about it, he wouldn't have a bright future in the team.
However, as soon as the news came out, Joe Cole still became a declining coffee in Chelsea, and the bubble girl was like this, not what a declining coffee is, and Joe Cole, who has always been wearing sunglasses recently, did not dare to fool around with Jonk and others.
Of course, Jonk has recently changed his style, and he has heard of it in the industry, the little prince of Chelsea nightclub, has become a good baby in a nightclub, it seems that all the romances and this good baby have been insulated, which makes the "Sun" very distressed, and has always wanted to find Jonck's fierce material to turn around, and now people don't play, or the high-end of play, "The Sun" can't find a place to start and has to shift its attention to other people.
There is no doubt that Joe Cole has become a more popular person recently, and there is no way to be targeted by such a professional gossip team of "The Sun", and it is difficult to think about it without being popular.
Especially after the jealousy and beating, the "Sun" tasted the sweetness, and it turned out that the unintentional insertion of willows also had good results, and if Joe Cole knew the reason behind it, he would definitely stay away from Jonk.
The Premier League's best player and coach of the month in December was undoubtedly won by Chelsea, with Jonk and Jose Mourinho being elected, but this award is a little less appreciated than the number of summer transfers.
The winter transfer window has opened, but thinking back to the pounds thrown out in the summer, the likes of Joel, Ferguson and Jewell will laugh; Souness, Moyes, Bruce and the elder Redknapp will cry; Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho were expressionless.
Joel can laugh because Jannas (£7 million), Davies (free), Lennon (£1 million), Lee Young-pyo (£1.5 million), all of them are good. Ferguson laughed because he bought Park Ji-sung and Van der Sar for 6 million pounds, which is incomparable to the 5.5 million pounds he bought Kleberson. The one who laughed the most was Jewell, who brought in Dezer and Henry for 6 million pounds. Kamara, Francis and Zimberda, among others, are now fifth in the promotion of Ma Wigan, relegation, and that is the business of the Bruces.
Where there is laughter, there is crying. Souness is the worst one. Luke, Owen, Parker, Emre, Solano spent more than 40 million pounds, but the available Owen and Parker were injured, and the team is still standing on the edge of the cliff. And Everton's David Moyes, who ran out of money to sell Rooney, brought Van der Meyde, Ferrari, Valente, Phil. Neville, Simon. Davis and Krodrup, only Phil can be considered to pass. Neville. As for Portsmouth, who changed coaches halfway, Skeperidis, Chalkias, Rotich, Viafarah, Westved, Dior...... It's basically all waste.
Sending Vieira away for £13.7 million was a failure, Arsene Wenger admitted to himself, but he may not be able to make up for it if he wants to make it up now. And Mourinho, the £25 million Essien made him proud, and the £22 million Wright. Phillips made him sick himself. Compared to Manchester City's fraction of the price of selling Wright. Cole and Fussell, Kenyon really had a blank face.
It is also worth mentioning that West Ham, Carroll, Benayoun, Gabipen and Konchesky, did not spend more than 4 million pounds, but the proceeds could be 10 million pounds (Parde's price for Benayoun alone). In addition, Xavier was banned for 18 months after only six games for Middlesbrough after being found to have taken illegal drugs.
It's January again, and there won't be much change in the teams, and it's certain to mend the seams, but except for Chelsea's introduction of Mourinho's old men, no other players have made any moves, and the cold winter in England seems to be sweeping the transfer market! (To be continued......)
