Who is Mourinho?
I am afraid that only the old Robson and Van Gaal would have known that they were his disciples ten years ago.
Mourinho first took over the head coaching job seven years ago.
But nine months later, he resigned due to disagreements with the board of directors.
Three years ago, the dragon soared.
In Portugal and the Champions League, Mourinho led Porto to complete an unprecedented treble.
At that moment, fans all over the world remembered the madman's name.
Subsequently, Mourinho quickly became Chelsea's head coach and entered the honeymoon period with owner Roman Abramovich.
Then, there is the championship!
A touch of blue launched a revolutionary challenge like the red that dominates the Premier League, and won the league championship for two consecutive years. The madman used his own strength to illustrate his arrogant capital.
But as various conflicts surfaced after the arrival of the new season, the "lovers" Magic Bird and Abu finally came to an end.
Mourinho still has three years left on his contract with an annual salary of 6.5 million pounds, but he can no longer fulfill it. He once said he hoped to coach Chelsea until 2010, but owner Abramovich no longer thinks so.
In the last game of Magic Bird's coaching, an embarrassing 1-1 draw continued Chelsea's two-game losing streak in the league.
But more importantly, it was another missed free kick and another scoreless victory. The familiar Chelsea in the past three years seemed to be getting further and further away.
"They don't have a problem, it's us who have a problem. If we have to take twenty shots in every game to score a goal, this is a big problem!" After the game, Mourinho, who is always tough-talking, finally admitted This fact.
Chelsea's shooting statistics for the whole game are different from those given by major media. ITV is 27 times, "The Guardian" is 25 times, UEFA is 23 times, and "The Times" is 23 times.
But the facts and results are the same.
Without Lampard and Drogba, Chelsea's already weak offense encountered an unprecedented crisis.
According to Premier League statistics, Chelsea's shooting success rate is already the lowest, which is completely opposite to its results in the previous three seasons.
More importantly, only five of more than 20 shots hit the goal, which can almost be described as amateurish.
Even former Chelsea star Zola said: A draw is not the end of the world, but Chelsea really needs to regroup.
Rosenberg, who came to Stamford Bridge, was not full of confidence. The whole team was worth 4.3 million pounds, which was not worth a Belletti.
In their previous two visits to England, their gates were breached 9 times by Arsenal and Blackburn, and they are currently struggling in fifth place in the league.
Coach Torum also said in a very low-key manner before the game that qualifying for the group was just a luxury.
Chelsea has never conceded a goal in the first game of the Champions League and has won five times in five home games.
But this time, in this game with only 24,973 fans present (the lowest attendance record since Magic Bird took charge), Chelsea did not win smoothly.
"The fact is simple, we created 20 chances and only scored one goal. If we were to score two, wouldn't we need 40 shots? Of course I found the problem. For three consecutive games we dominated the game and created chances, but only had 40 shots on goal." A goal, but I couldn't score it myself." Mourinho said frankly after the game.
In the club's latest documentary "Blue Revolution", both Terry and Kenyon spoke wistfully about their desire for the Champions League, with the latter even claiming to win two Champions League titles in the next decade.
But I'm afraid that by then the smiling figure of the Magic Bird will no longer appear on the sidelines.
The next night, Mourinho appeared at a Chelsea club party.
The theme of the party was the release of a DVD entitled "Blue Revolution", which covered the ups and downs of Abramovich's four years in office.
During the party, Mourinho ignored the media present and looked particularly gloomy.
Several key Chelsea players John Terry and Frank Lampard did not attend the party. Only Wright-Phillips arrived, but he seemed very reluctant.
When interviewed by the media, he avoided the topic of the coach's dismissal. It was reported that Terry and others were missing in preparation for a collective petition to Abramovich to express their concerns about Mourinho's dismissal.
But the matter has come to this, and there is no room for recovery from the collective forced abortion.
Mourinho once said that he would not coach until he was in his 60s like Ferguson, but would burn out his passion more intensely in his limited years.
Therefore, the 44-year-old will not be willing to waste time and sink after class. He definitely hopes to make a comeback as soon as possible.
After he got out of class, what fans were most concerned about was naturally where his next stop would be.
...
Mourinho's sudden "departure" left many "Mourinho orphans" in Chelsea's dressing room.
But Shevchenko is by no means one of them.
Ukrainian Nuclear Warhead, who has a close personal relationship with Abramovich, has experienced the most comfortable period since joining Stamford Bridge because of the departure of the Portuguese.
On September 24, this campaign was his fourth consecutive start this season.
Although Sheva performed very hard, he still could not change the reality that the team's goals dropped significantly after he started.
Grant, who took office quickly in this campaign, obeyed Abramovich's will and changed the formation to 4231, with Sheva suddenly acting as the lone forward.
But the Ukrainian, who will celebrate his 31st birthday in five days, does not have Drogba's physique, and he lacks the speed at his peak.
The only thing left is the refreshing mood after his archrival Mourinho was purged and the resulting diligence.
The most typical shot of this Premier League matchup occurred in the 35th minute, when Sheva actually returned to his own backcourt to steal the ball from Scholes. This was something new that did not happen under Mourinho.
But after Mikel was sent off, the 4231 formation was instantly disintegrated.
Sheva was completely isolated on the forward line and could not get any shells from his teammates.
In the 59th minute, Shevchenko was replaced by Kalu.
Even the media was joking at this time: "Could it be that Sheva couldn't even play 90 minutes under Grant?"
Fortunately, Abramovich still believed in him and stood up to applaud him when he came off the field.
In this game, Manchester United finally won 2-0 against Chelsea, which had one less player to play.
Although the team was playing away from home, loyal Chelsea fans still displayed a "Mourinho, you are the best" banner in the stands at Old Trafford.
The implication is that fans are very dissatisfied with the club's sudden decision.
After the game, the commentator of "Sky Sports" also said this intriguing words: If Mourinho was here, would Chelsea have this result?
Neither Sheva nor Kalu, who is over 30 years old, is a stand-up forward.
No one can stand in front of them. Chelsea cannot change the goal drought of only scoring one goal in the past four games. This makes people miss Drogba especially last season.
Fans can't help but ask, what is Warcraft doing at this moment?
The injured Drogba actually sang in KTV at the Royal Albert Hall in London that night!
This is a charity event to raise funds for the African continent. Henry and others are participating, and Drogba is of course obliged.
Moreover, even if Drogba is not injured, whether he will comply with Grant's call to play is also doubtful.
When the Magic Bird bid farewell to the Chelsea dressing room, Drogba, like Lampard, received the greatest favor from the Portuguese.
Mourinho said loudly to Drogba at the time: "You are the best shooter in the world, and you have also trained yourself to become the best player. Didi (Drogba), I am proud of you, and you should be too Be proud of yourself. You work hard and you are a winner, always remember you are a winner!”
The magic bird wrapped its arms around the Ivorian man and hugged him like a departed father.
Drogba, who had been forcing a smile on his face, could no longer hold back the tears of sadness.
The man sheds tears easily because he has not reached the sad point.
Drogba was obviously feeling sorry for Mourinho's departure, and finally stopped crying after the persuasion of his teammate Malouda.
And it was Drogba who was the first to tell the media that he would follow Mourinho out of Stamford Bridge.
"The Sun" reported that he was "angry and sad" about Chelsea's treatment of Mourinho. He said: "I can't understand his departure at all. Everyone in the dressing room is angry about this."
His friend said: "It will be a few weeks before he returns from injury but it is just a matter of time before he leaves the club."
It’s not too big a deal to watch. Real Madrid coach Schuster also issued a takeover signal after hearing about Chelsea’s drastic changes: “Drogba is an important target for us and we have been tracking him for a long time. Ballack should also come to Madrid as soon as possible. Don’t waste your time in London.”
For a time, the entire Premier League was discussing the huge changes in Chelsea.
Fans are speculating whether Mourinho's quick dismissal will directly lead to the collapse of the blue battleship that Abramovich spent four years building.
"So, Chelsea is no match for this season?" Bale asked.
At the edge of the training base, Wang Xiaodong, Bell and others sat in a row, listening to Lennon talk about recent events in London.
A few people had just finished training and it was extremely hot.
Ignoring the health standards of the team doctor, he secretly came to the cement table in the corner and ate watermelon.
Sneakers and socks were taken off all over the floor, but they were all young men, and the smell of their feet couldn't stop their love for watermelon.
Several people were munching on the cut watermelon, but Wang Xiaodong was the only one holding a spoon and scooping up half a piece of watermelon in his arms.
"Of course not!" Lennon shook his head. "A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Mourinho is gone, but Chelsea's players are still there! And they are all just injured. They will recover after a period of rest. By then Meeting us will still be a tough battle!"
"Oh, that's it." Bell nodded, puffed up his cheeks, aimed at a foxtail grass not far away, and spit out a watermelon seed.
The black bullets shot out like lightning, and the dogtail grass leaned back in response.
"Hey, did you see it? I'm so accurate!" Bell shouted with excitement.
"What's that? Look at me!"
Lennon was not happy when he heard this, and imitated Bell, he puffed up his cheeks and spit out all the watermelon seeds in his mouth.
But his strength was obviously not as strong as Bell's. He vomited several times in a row and only hit the target once.
Wang Xiaodong on the side saw this and glanced at the two of them contemptuously.
A stream of watermelon seeds spurted out from his cheeks.
Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa!
Wang Xiaodong's mouth was like a machine gun, and all the watermelon seeds in his mouth were fired in succession, and each one hit the top of a foxtail grass.
A dozen dogtails were "shot to death" by Wang Xiaodong, and both Bell and Lennon were stunned.
"Fake, DONG, how did you do it?"
"Isn't this a special effect? DONG, I don't study well, so don't fool me!"
Seeing that Wang Xiaodong could vomit so accurately, Lennon and Bell immediately came over to ask about the technique, and they listened more carefully than they did during the training class.
Wang Xiaodong was talking proudly, and Modric on the side took a deep breath and exhaled hard.
puff!
Unexpectedly, he used too much force and all the watermelon seeds spurted out.
Seeing the shotgun-like "spray", Wang Xiaodong laughed and patted Modric on the shoulder, "Young man, it's not okay to be scattered and close at the same time! You have to practice!"
"Who said that!" King Yinjiao wiped his mouth unwillingly, "Some people like me to be so fierce!"
"just you?"
"violent?"
Bale and Lennon looked at Modric up and down, and couldn't help holding their stomachs and laughing.
"Hey, hey! What are you laughing at? What are you laughing at?"
Upon seeing this, Modric immediately threw the watermelon rind in his hand towards Lennon.
"One can't last for thirty minutes, and the other can only last for thirty minutes. How do you have the right to laugh? Don't forget, I am the champion!"
Although Modric looks sick, everyone knows that he is the strongest player in the team besides Wang Xiaodong.
But let’s forget the joke about Bale being tall and tall. Why does Lennon, a guy like you, who is not as tall as others and not in good health have the right to laugh?
Is it just because it's fast?
A few people were playing around here when they suddenly heard a sharp shout from behind.
"You just finished training and are hiding here to eat? OK, you don't want to play in the next game!"
After hearing the sound, the four of them trembled and turned their heads. They saw Rebecca, the puma, pinching her waist and looking at them with wide eyes.
The female team doctor wore a tight-fitting sportswear that perfectly wrapped her plump figure.
But at this moment, the four people who were caught were not in the mood to enjoy the "scenery." Lennon, who was frightened, quickly escaped from Modric's restraints, put on his shoes and ran away without even wearing socks.
"Don't run! Stop!"
Seeing that the foursome were planning to run away, the female team doctor immediately shouted and rushed over.
The other three people also hurriedly threw away the watermelons in their hands, stepped on their sneakers and fled.
"Damn it, you guys, don't run so fast, wait for me!"
Wang Xiaodong was last, holding up his shoes while despising the lack of care of others.
But compared to speed, even ten Wang Xiaodongs couldn't catch up with Bell and Lennon.
"DONG, you can only rely on yourself in this matter!"
Modric turned his head, crossed himself on his chest in front of Wang Xiaodong, and ran away quickly.
Although King Silver Horn is not very fast, he knows that as long as he outruns Wang Xiaodong, he will be fine.
Just like that, Wang Xiaodong, who was wearing shoe straps, didn't run very far when he was grabbed by the back of the neck by the female team doctor who was walking like flying.
"Still running? Still running? Look where you're going!" Rebecca said proudly.
"Okay, grandma, I lose, I beg you to spare me!" Wang Xiaodong had no choice but to turn around and beg for mercy.
"Tell me, why don't you take care of your body so much? How could you eat such cold watermelon right after training? Aren't you afraid of diarrhea after running?"
Bell and the others ran out for a few dozen meters and stopped. With a smirk on their faces, they watched from a distance as Wang Xiaodong, under Rebecca's intimidation, took a broom and dustpan to clean the watermelon rinds.
The afterglow of the setting sun spread over the city of London, passed through the scarred Stamford Bridge, and shone on the peaceful White Hart Lane.
