With Leeds United's four-goal defeat to Leicester City on September 16, all ten games in the fifth round of the 2003-04 Premier League season have ended. Arsenal, who were unexpectedly tied by Portsmouth led by veteran Redknapp in this round, took the lead in the league standings with an unbeaten record of four wins and one draw, while defending champion Manchester United trailed only the Gunners with four wins and one loss. A point score followed closely behind. Wenger and Ferguson, the old enemies, used practical actions to declare to people that no matter how many competitors appear, Arsenal and Manchester United will be the most powerful contenders for the Premier League championship!
The most shocking game is naturally not the highlight of this round of Premier League - Tottenham Hotspur led by George Nelson and Chelsea coached by Ranieri - the match between these two teams. Head-to-head confrontation. In this game, Chelsea, playing at home, relied on two quick counterattacks to establish a two-goal lead, but the Blues' wonderful performance ended there. After that, Tottenham Hotspur launched a counterattack wave that defeated the conservative Chelsea. Drogba, Carrick, and Robbie Keane all fired three arrows to help Tottenham score three goals at Stamford Bridge. Reversed Chelsea and won an extremely exciting victory!
In the first five rounds, they only achieved two wins, one draw, and one loss, accumulating seven points (the third round of the Premier League match between Chelsea and Birmingham was postponed due to weather conditions). This is for Chelsea and Manchester United, who are ambitious and trying to challenge the authority of Arsenal and Manchester United. For Abramovich, this is obviously absolutely unacceptable. Therefore, after losing to Tottenham, Ranieri, as the coach of the Blues, came under strong pressure from both the fans and Chelsea executives!
You know, the Chelsea team that could follow Leeds United at any time last season was able to achieve good results in fourth place in the Premier League. However, after a summer of reinforcements, the Blues' record has not improved accordingly. This naturally makes people doubt Ranieri's coaching ability. In other words, what people are questioning is whether Ranieri has the ability to become the coach of a wealthy football club!
After all, the football world has never lacked the kind of head coach who can achieve impressive results in small and medium-sized clubs, but has a messy record after joining a wealthy club. Considering Ranieri's previous coaching experience at Atletico Madrid, it is inevitable that people will be skeptical of Ranieri.
Ranieri also knows very well that the club has invested so much this summer in order to compete with Arsenal and Manchester United for the Premier League championship. Even if they can't win the championship for a while, Chelsea must be allowed to show enough strength. Therefore, if Ranieri still wants to keep his position as Chelsea coach, then he must shape the team as soon as possible, give full play to the abilities of his stars, and lead Chelsea to deliver satisfactory results at the end of the season. one!
Of course, even if Ranieri finally does this, he may not be able to keep this position. At this point, Del Bosque, who led Real Madrid to reverse Real Sociedad and win the cup last season, but was fired the day after winning the championship, is the best example.
At this time, Ranieri always feels extremely envious of George. Because unlike him, who is only the coach of Chelsea, George is not only the coach of Tottenham Hotspur Club, but also the owner of this club. Therefore, in the vast majority of cases, no one in the Tottenham team dares to disobey any order given by George. This allows George to spend a lot less effort than other head coaches when rebuilding the team, and can use the extra energy in more useful places.
This is not the case with Ranieri. He naturally lacks the power to intimidate big-name stars. Without being given sufficient power by Abramovich, it is difficult for him to control the entire team like George. He can only make his stars obey his command by constantly seeking compromise and balance.
While Ranieri was racking his brains to keep his job, a scene that made people laugh was unfolding at Tottenham's training base on the other side of London.
"Didier (Drogba), this is a training plan tailor-made for you by the coaching staff overnight. You must complete it with quality and quantity." In the conference room, George gave a A document as thick as two bricks was placed in front of Drogba. "If you want to be a top center, you can only have a good body and sufficient strength. Skills, especially shooting skills and the ability to play the ball after attracting double teams." , is also extremely important for a powerful center. You know, even Heskey, who has been criticized by the media for his low scoring efficiency, has first-rate standards in several aspects besides scoring. "
"Boss, I admit that what you said makes sense, and I also admit that my skills are a little rough. However, for you to have formulated such a detailed plan just for this, it is too... making a mountain out of a molehill. ?" Looking at the thick stack of training plans in front of him, Drogba ignored the expressions of his teammates around him, and said to George with a grimace, "Especially this. One thing, after training every day, you have to practice shooting and passing for at least an hour...Boss, this will definitely kill people! It will definitely!"
"You still have the nerve to say that?!" Seeing that Drogba had some doubts about this, George couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and glare. The ferocious expression frightened Drogba so much that he moved his seat back several centimeters, "Then Tell me, in the last game, who missed a single shot just a stone's throw away from the goal? And who failed to score three consecutive shots ten meters in front of the opponent's goal within thirty seconds? A goal?"
"Ha, ha ha... Boss, those were all accidents, just accidents." Hearing what George said, Drogba laughed twice and said quickly, "I promise you, the same thing will never happen again next time." matter."
To be honest, the person who feels most aggrieved by this should actually be Chelsea goalkeeper Cudicini. Because although Drogba's shooting skills and accuracy are not very good, the Ivorian's power is very impressive. Therefore, when Drogba hit Cudicini with three shots in a row, the Italian, who felt extremely sore, did not even have the strength to get up from the turf.
"Oh? Then Didier, what else are you going to do?" George narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Drogba with a strange look on his face. His tone was full of ridicule, "You are planning to have a orgasm in front of the goal." A difficult anti-aircraft gun, or do you want to imitate Argentina’s crazy striker and score a hat trick of missed penalty kicks?”
"Boss, stop talking. I just agree to your request." After hearing George's malicious words, Drogba, who knew the character of his head coach, was full of embarrassment and helplessness, and quickly expressed his attitude, "Please rest assured, I will complete this training plan seriously, and I will never do anything illegal or not train seriously."
"It's good if you can realize this." Regarding Drogba's statement, George nodded with satisfaction, "Then, starting from tomorrow, you can go for special training according to this plan."
"No problem, boss!" Although he complained, Drogba also knew in his heart that everything George did was for his own good. Therefore, the Ivorians are still willing to accept George's arrangement.
In this way, Drogba finally accepted the special training plan tailored for him by George and the Tottenham coaching staff. Prepare to carry out targeted intensive training on your coping ability and shooting skills in the next period of time!
"By the way, Luca (Tony), you also have to stay and train with Didier." After the meeting, George stopped Tony who was about to leave and said, "Although your shooting skills can beat Didier E has been thrown out for several blocks, and his screening and support abilities have also been greatly improved during his playing days at Brescia, but I think you still need to continue to strengthen in these aspects. Why not, you also go to participate in this event with Didier Let’s have special training.”
"Hahaha..." Seeing that Tony could not escape, the other Tottenham players who were about to leave the meeting room burst into laughter. Drogba, who had a grimace on his face, smiled and patted Tony on the shoulder, seemingly celebrating that he had a brother in trouble.
Laughter, in fact, others are quite envious of the special treatment Drogba and Tony received. Because this means that in the mind of the head coach, these two people obviously have greater weight, so they will develop a special training plan for them. Otherwise, why would people spend so much effort to come up with such a detailed training plan?
Especially the highly motivated Villa and Mascherano, the envy in their eyes is as conspicuous as searchlights in the dark night!
"It seems that the targets of the next special training will be these two boys for the time being." Noticing the looks in Villa and Mascherano's eyes, George secretly made a decision. However, George will not reveal this decision now. He also wants to see whether Villa and Mascherano are stimulating the next whim, or whether they really have progressive ideas in their hearts.
Cristiano Ronaldo was the only person present who did not feel envious, jealous or hateful about this. After all, he had already made a small fortune under George, so naturally he would not be too envious of Drogba and Toni's experiences.
After being two goals behind at one point, they relied on a crazy offensive comeback to defeat Chelsea. This victory not only allowed Tottenham to get rid of the vicious cycle of consecutive draws, but also restored the players' confidence that was originally lacking due to three consecutive draws. I have to become more and more convinced, and I am more and more convinced of George who led them to complete this magical reversal - he can lead a team that has undergone a major overhaul in the summer, and has successively scored points against strong teams such as Liverpool and Chelsea, and They all scored points on the road. Such results are enough to prove George's ability as a head coach.
So, leading these players who were convinced by him from the bottom of their hearts, George and his Tottenham Hotspur had a jaw-dropping winning streak in the following days!
