As George expected, the result of Chelsea's unexpected draw at home by Charlton immediately caused quite a stir in English football - with Mourinho's coaching skills and Chelsea's iron army Style, it will undoubtedly be difficult for Tottenham to regain the top spot in the standings from the Blues who are going all out!
However, the reality is so dramatic. Just when people thought that Chelsea could maintain their two-point lead until the end of the season, or when the Champions League knockout rounds started, the Blues capsized in the gutter of Stamford Bridge, and the two-point advantage they finally gained came in an instant. Nothing left!
Chelsea! This team, so stable and cold-blooded that it made all its competitors feel helpless and even desperate, actually shook hands with Charlton at home!
You know, before this game, Charlton had only scored 28 points in the 22 Premier League games that had ended. This number is less than half of Chelsea's league points, and the most famous players on the team are only local forward Darren Bent and Luke Young, who came from Tottenham's youth training and was later selected for the national team during Capello's coaching. Such a team actually gave Chelsea their second draw in the Premier League this season. Such a result makes people sigh that football is really a thing full of suspense and unknown colors.
Relying on the help of Charlton and a much higher goal difference than Chelsea, Tottenham finally regained the top spot they had lost due to the wave of injuries and multi-front battles. Buoyed by the news, Tottenham's players and supporters enjoyed a fantastic weekend.
At the same time, the Cobham training base was filled with gloom and gloom. The Chelsea players who had just suffered a blow at Charlton were like eggplants beaten by frost. They were undergoing recovery training under the supervision of the coaching staff, and they did not show their demeanor as an iron army at all.
It is not surprising that such a situation would occur. Although Terry, Lampard and others helped Chelsea win the league championship after half a century last season, the shadow of Tottenham has always lingered in their minds. After all, many people believe that if Chelsea had not been eliminated by Juventus in the quarterfinals, they could concentrate on the league in the sprint stage, and Tottenham, who was fighting on the third line, was tricked by Clattenburg's faint whistle at a critical moment. The Blues would have never been able to win. Opportunity to "steal" this championship trophy from Tottenham. Not to mention, Tottenham also won the Big Ear Cup and FA Cup at the end of last season, and completely surpassed Chelsea in terms of honors and head-to-head record!
Therefore, when Chelsea was tied with Tottenham in the standings due to this unexpected draw, and even lost the leader's position due to goal difference, these psychological shadows of Chelsea players towards Tottenham were immediately aroused came out, causing them an extremely serious mental burden!
To make matters worse, a large group of British media also criticized Chelsea after the draw, pessimizing the Blues' championship prospects, while crazily criticizing Mourinho's employment strategy and coaching philosophy. They believe that it is the Portuguese's conservative tactical play and the policy of rarely rotating the main lineup that are the main reasons why Chelsea lost the top spot!
As we all know, the relationship between Mourinho and the media since taking charge of Chelsea can be described as incompatible. Although the Portuguese can always bring a lot of material for reporters who are trapped in news shortages, his flamboyant style and mouth that likes to use strong words make all media hate him. Therefore, after Chelsea was knocked off the top spot by Tottenham due to a goal difference disadvantage, their respective bosses either explicitly or implicitly stated that they were not allowed to continue to follow and report on Emirates Gate and related incidents. Reports on Aston Villa also followed. As time went by, it became increasingly difficult to attract the attention of fans. For a while, the British media, who had nothing to do, regarded Chelsea as the target of a new round of fire!
If you don't accumulate good deeds in normal times, you will be pushed down by others. Who makes Mourinho talk so viciously and spend money everywhere to poach people? Why is it that Chelsea is the most hated team in European football today? Now that they have the opportunity to retaliate, these people will naturally come together to step on Mourinho and Chelsea.
Faced with the public opinion offensive launched by the media, Mourinho will naturally not swallow his anger or let it go, allowing the other party to discredit him. When accepting questions and interviews from reporters, the Portuguese madman said with an extremely strong attitude: There are no problems with his tactics and personnel. A draw is not the end of the world for Chelsea. On the contrary, it will further stimulate the players’ fighting spirit. In the future, Show more powerful combat effectiveness in the competition!
At the same time, regarding the draw with Charlton, Mourinho also kept silent and pointed the finger at the referee team that officiated the game, claiming that if it were not for the linesman's misjudgment and Carvalho's "unwarranted" red card , Chelsea can definitely win a victory at Stamford Bridge!
Mourinho's tough statement is not surprising, but it still made waves in the English football world, which was already not very calm. Although the poor quality of English referees is well known, people like Mourinho It is extremely rare for a head coach to comment on the referee's decisions as long as he is not winning.
It is true that Mourinho's approach of attracting firepower by himself can effectively reduce the psychological burden of the players, but it also lays hidden dangers for the future of him and Chelsea. After all, referees are also human beings, and it is inevitable that mistakes and omissions will occur during games. They are always caught making mistakes and criticized endlessly, and they will also be angry and dissatisfied in their hearts.
It is foreseeable that if Mourinho does not change this style in time, the unfavorable penalties against Chelsea will only increase in the future. In the previous life, Chelsea would be regained by Manchester United as the Premier League hegemon after 2006, which is not unrelated to this aspect.
Just when people were talking about Chelsea losing the top spot in the league and Mourinho criticizing the referee's penalty, a piece of news from the FA headquarters shocked the entire English football world. Its influence was so great that it even caused Strong attention from fans all over the world!
On January 26, Football Association Chairman Geoff Thompson held a press conference at the Football Association headquarters. At the press conference, Thompson announced that in view of the extremely serious negative impact that Eriksson's inappropriate behavior has had on the English national team and English football, the Football Association decided to terminate his work contract. As for the vacant England national team head coach position, after internal discussion and selection by the Football Association, it was decided that Viscount George Nelson, the owner and head coach of Tottenham Hotspur Club, should hold the concurrent post! And his term will end after the World Cup in Germany!
