Super Marshal

On the evening of August 23, the Riverside Stadium in Middlesbrough, England.

When Middlesbrough head coach Southgate walked into the press conference, there was a burst of warm applause, which immediately made Mourinho, the head coach of the visiting team Chelsea, look ugly.

After defeating Manchester City 3-0 at home in the first round of the league, the Portuguese madman is full of confidence in his team and strongly stated that Chelsea's victory will continue and lead the Premier League from the beginning.

Obviously, after introducing powerful stars such as Shevchenko, Ballack, Mikel and Boraluz this summer, Mourinho is full of confidence in his team, and the first round of the league also gave him enough He is confident.

But he didn't expect that in the second round at the Riverside Stadium, he would get a slap in the face.

Southgate's team did not get off to an ideal start. Chelsea scored after only fifteen minutes. Shevchenko scored his first goal since joining the team. After that, the Blues' performance did not diminish at all. Opportunities were created one after another, but they were never able to convert the opportunities into goals.

It was not until the second half that Chelsea finally paid the price for their frequent profligacy. Middlesbrough took advantage of a set-piece opportunity to score a sneak goal to equalize the score. Then Australian forward Viduka scored another goal in stoppage time to help Middlesbrough. Fortuna defeated Chelsea at home.

This game was like a red palm print slapped hard on the face of a Portuguese madman, and the applause of the media reporters who feared that the world would not be chaotic was more like a sarcasm and satire on Mourinho.

The two coaches had just sat down. At the beginning of the press conference, Southgate just made an opening statement. After that, all the media focused on Mourinho, especially for this defeat.

But surprisingly, the Portuguese madman went against the high profile before the game.

"Honestly, I'm not disappointed. I'm really not disappointed for losing this game. We can't blame the referee, our opponents, or luck. We can only blame our own poor performance, so I'm not disappointed. "

"Middlesbrough were able to come back because they came out of nowhere from the 80th minute and put a lot of pressure on us and ended up winning the game, which was a surprise to us, but we had done well in the previous games. But we failed to show such performance and commitment, which ultimately cost us the game.”

At the end of his speech, Mourinho also frankly admitted, "Middlesbrough's fighting spirit is indeed much stronger than ours. I think we should accept this defeat calmly and learn from it."

As for what media reporters raised, the team will welcome Blackburn at the weekend, and Mourinho also encouraged his players.

"Losing a game is not a disaster. The most important point is that we should know why we have been able to win the league championship for two consecutive years. We must know. I know it very well, but I hope the players also know that it is definitely not today. I can guarantee this attitude tonight."

Obviously, Mourinho believes that the team's defeat was due to players' attitude problems and not focusing on the game.

However, some media reporters keenly caught the error in his words.

"Mr. Mourinho, I think I should remind you that Chelsea won the Premier League three years in a row."

As soon as the reporter finished speaking, there was an uproar at the scene, and countless reporters secretly praised the reminder for his wit.

Everyone knows that Gao Han is Mourinho's counterattack. Anyone who mentions Gao Han in front of the Portuguese will be sprayed to death by his saliva, and Mourinho has never been willing to admit that Gao Han was before him. The one they won was also the first Premier League championship trophy in the club's history.

Therefore, he has always only said that Chelsea won two consecutive championships.

Now to remind him that he has won three consecutive championships is undoubtedly disgusting to him.

Seeing the Portuguese's disgusting expression as if he had eaten a fly, the unscrupulous reporters secretly laughed.

Going crazy!

But it still lacks a fire.

So, soon another reporter stood up and asked questions.

"Mr. Mourinho, the third round of qualifiers for the Champions League has ended. All 32 teams participating in the group stage have been announced, and UEFA has also officially announced the scores of the top 32 teams. file situation."

This reporter's question was quite long. At first, everyone thought he was a bit verbose, but as they listened, everyone became excited.

Too clever, isn't it?

To be able to come up with such a question.

Especially when you look at Mourinho's expression on the stage getting more and more ugly, the reporters below are so excited that they are almost excited.

The reporter who asked the question also continued to ask questions after a deliberate pause.

"Excuse me, Mr. Mourinho, what do you think about Liverpool, who only ranked third in the Premier League last season, and Inter Milan, who missed the Champions League? In second gear?”

As soon as the question was asked, the reporters below just wanted to set off firecrackers to celebrate. This question was the best powder keg.

Sure enough, Mourinho's expression suddenly changed, and his tone became angry.

"Yes, I have no doubt that there is something wrong with this classification standard." The Portuguese madman replied unceremoniously.

"I believe that the real criterion is the results of the previous season. Yes, Liverpool won the Champions League two years ago but were as much as 30 points behind Chelsea in the league and last season too. We are nine points behind us in the league, only in third place, and Arsenal, who reached the Champions League final last season, only finished fourth in the league."

"Obviously, this tiering is very unfair to us, because we all know that the league can test a team's overall strength and stable performance, but in the new season's Champions League tiers, Liverpool and Arsenal are We were seeded in the first tier, but we were only ranked in the second tier.”

When he said this, Mourinho paused deliberately before continuing.

"As for Inter Milan, I think this is even more funny. They couldn't even play in the Champions League last season. Although they won a UEFA Cup, we all know how watery this cup competition is, but in the end they also failed. The first seeded team, doesn’t anyone think it’s a joke?”

"I very much admire Gao Han for having the courage to reveal the truth about the Calciopoli incident, but I don't know if he has the courage to reveal the truth about the Champions League group stage divisions?" Mourinho shook his head and smiled, "I doubt it."

All the reporters below suddenly became crazy and excited.

It seems that Mourinho is really angry, and he directly criticized Gao Han. It's so exciting, isn't it?

Immediately, another reporter stood up and asked: "Mr. Mourinho, according to the current classification situation, Chelsea is very likely to draw Inter Milan in the Champions League group stage. What do you think?"

"What do I think?" Mourinho shook his head. "If I were asked to choose the team I most want to meet, it would definitely be Inter Milan. I believe that my team and I will prove it to everyone with our strength. Tell everyone They, not all teams are qualified to be seeded in the Champions League.”

The reporters were busy recording Mourinho's speech, and they were all excited.

It became a hot topic in the next few days.

There are even many people who have already thought of the title.

Mourinho angrily criticized Gao Han!

Mourinho accused Inter Milan of unfair classification: Inter Milan is not worthy of the seeded team!

Thinking about titles like this makes people feel excited.

…………

…………

As expected, Mourinho's remarks quickly occupied the pages of major media outlets around the world.

As the most media-attractive head coach after Gao Han, Mourinho blasted Gao Han. This is definitely the hot topic most desired by the media, attracting the attention of fans around the world.

After the news was reported, many fans of Gao Han and Inter Milan criticized Mourinho's remarks, thinking that it was irresponsible and that Gao Han was suspected of relying on Gao Han to attract popularity.

But some Mourinho fans believe that this is the Portuguese venting his inner injustice.

According to the lottery plan, the seeded teams placed in the first pot always take advantage, while the teams in the second pot will definitely be more miserable, and they may even encounter the death group if they are not careful.

However, someone soon came forward and publicly criticized Mourinho's remarks.

Inter Milan's main winger and Alpine favorite Cristiano Ronaldo reminded Mourinho in an interview with the media that he had better think clearly whether he is really willing to draw Inter Milan.

"I think no team is willing to be forced to compete with the other two teams for second place in the group before the game starts, right?"

Although they are both Portuguese, Cristiano Ronaldo believes that "Inter Milan does not need to be afraid of any opponent. In the past season, we have proved with facts that we are an invincible team on the football field, no matter we No matter who our opponent is, as long as we play to our strengths at our own pace, we won’t be afraid of any team.”

"Yes, Chelsea spent the money in their hands and recruited many stars. Shevchenko and Ballack are both current superstars, but we are not bad. After every game, we will always use the facts to tell us opponents, victory will always belong to us, Inter Milan!”

Ibrahimovic, who once played for Chelsea, asked more directly, "Is Chelsea strong now? Can they surpass our legendary season? Can they?"

Veron also said that Inter Milan is very confident against Chelsea, and also hinted that Chelsea under Mourinho's coaching is more than strong, but not delicate enough, and is far inferior to the season coached by Gao Han.

Blues captain John Terry admitted in an interview with the British Times that he is eager to lead the team to the Champions League, which is his dream.

"If we can win the Champions League, it will definitely go down in history. Every one of our players is eager to achieve this goal, and this summer we have introduced several superstars to strengthen our support. This shows the ambition of the club. We are very Strong, with almost no weaknesses, we have the ability to go far in the Champions League."

But when a reporter asked about Mourinho's desire to meet Inter Milan, Terry hesitated a little, and finally replied with a wry smile, "I think the best situation is for us to join forces with Inter Milan." finals."

As a new player who just joined this season, Shevchenko can't wait to conquer the Champions League for Chelsea.

"The Champions League is one of the most important competitions. I am eager to win the Champions League with the Blues and fulfill a dream that has not been realized for many years."

And Shevchenko also said that Chelsea does have the strength to challenge Inter Milan.

But his implication is that the Blues are still somewhat inferior to Inter Milan.

However, from Mourinho igniting the flames of war to players from both sides expressing their opinions, coupled with the crazy hype from media reporters and fans, the upcoming Champions League group stage draw has attracted much attention.

Gao Han also led the team to Monaco over the weekend to prepare for the upcoming European Super Cup against Barcelona.

At the same time, he also attended the UEFA awards ceremony and draw ceremony.

I talked with the chief doctor in the morning and decided to go to Fuzhou tomorrow morning and be discharged in the afternoon. If I have time when I go home in the evening, I will write another chapter.
