Chapter 175 Digging pits with each other

At the moment of the game, many Chelsea players couldn't help but sit on the grass and experienced a big loss. These players felt very tired both physically and mentally.

They sat on the grass with dull eyes, not even looking to raise their heads.

Manchester City players were laughing and cheering. They were enjoying the feeling of a big victory. They dared not even think about being able to beat Chelsea in a big score at Stamford Bridge. Now they have done it.

Although everyone consumed a lot of physical energy, they were still energetic and did not forget to wave to their fans when they were finished. However, they did not stay on the court and walked back to the locker room in groups of three or three. After all, this is Stamford Bridge Stadium, not Manchester City's territory.

The head coaches of the two teams, Wan Sheng and Mourinho, also stood up and prepared to leave the field.

According to the politeness of regular football matches, in order to show competitive sports spirit, the coaches of both sides will shake hands politely after the game, but Mourinho and Wan Sheng are both those with a stubborn temper, and they don’t care about etiquette or inappropriateness.

From the first time the two of them have fought to the present, no matter what the result is, neither of them has had a normal handshake. At this point, both of them have even reached a tacit understanding.

This time it's different.

When Wan Sheng was about to turn around and walk away, he saw Mourinho walking towards the middle. Portugal was looking over. The two looked at each other, and neither of them was humble.

Wan Sheng thought about it and walked over. As a winner, he must ensure his demeanor.

The two met in front of the player's passage, and then reached out to the cameras of a number of media cameras and shook politely. It seemed like a polite handshake, but the atmosphere between the two was definitely not friendly.

Mourinho stared at Wan Sheng with a serious face, while Wan Sheng smiled back with an indifferent expression on his face.

As a winner, he should show generosity, even if the opponent is the most 'hate' guy in the league.

Mourinho looked at the young Chinese in front of him. His mood was actually very complicated.

When leading Porto to the peak of Europe, Mourinho thought he would be the youngest and most outstanding football coach in the early 21st century, but his current ideas are different. He is not sure what the young man in front of him has a future. But it is certain that the other party is even younger than his assistant, Boas, who was working under Robson. He is such a young man who leads an ordinary team and has repeatedly defeated him in the Premier League.

Mourinho had always thought that Wansheng was lucky, but now he doesn't think so.

After this game, Mourinho already knew that this young man was fully capable of becoming his opponent and a very powerful opponent.

So he came over and shook hands.

This is a handshake and a declaration of war!

He, Jose Mourinho, his inner arrogance does not allow him to admit defeat. They will be opponents this season, and the next time they meet, he will defeat the opponent!

Many media took pictures of Mourinho and Wan Sheng shook hands, and their expressions and actions announced that a fierce confrontation was about to begin.

The game ended and Manchester City won, but the league has just begun, and it is still difficult to draw a conclusion who wins and loses.

Many media also plan to use this photo as the front page of tomorrow's football news.

After Mourinho shook hands with Wan Sheng, there was no friendship at all. Mourinho walked back to the mixing area first and then headed straight to the press conference venue, while Wan Sheng returned to the locker room to comfort the players.

The two of them had a tacit understanding and did not appear in the venue together.

When Mourinho walked into the venue, all cameras, cameras, microphones, recorders and other equipment immediately pointed at it. All media wanted to see what the coach Mourinho would say when he invested hundreds of millions of euros in the summer, but in the first round of home games: Chelsea lost three times. It is conceivable that the Portuguese will definitely be very stressed.

Chelsea and Manchester City have lost not the first time, but this time they lost the worst. Before the game, everyone was optimistic about Chelsea, but no one expected it.

Mourinho was very calm. He pointed out the reason for the loss, "The players' attitude is wrong, they are in a bad state, and we lack the fighting spirit."

"I'm not disappointed. I'll be disappointed only when we should win and don't win," Mourinho said. "I'm not disappointed when we lose in this situation. We can't blame the referee, the opponent, the luck, and the poor performance. So, I'm not disappointed."

"In my opinion, the key is attitude, which directly affects the state of the team. When a team performs poorly from the first minute to the last minute, it means they despise their opponents and they do not play seriously. We are in poor form and we did not recognize ourselves before the game. This failure is a good lesson for us."

Afterwards, Mourinho expressed the most regret that the team did not score. "For a while, we performed very well and had some opportunities, but we didn't catch it, and Manchester City grabbed it, so we lost the game."

"But the league has just begun, we haven't lost yet, and a game can't decide anything. I believe that with this lesson, the whole team will perform better in the subsequent games."

"The league has just begun and there is still a long time left. I hope they are still among our competitors by then!"

The last sentence is to declare war provocatively.

After talking about the game, Mourinho talked about the subsequent games, and he inspired the whole team. "The key point is that we know why we can play well, we must know. I know, I think the players also know that every game must face the opponent. Manchester City is the defending champion, and we have not won the championship yet. We have to face all the games as a weak person."

"Many people are saying that Chelsea is strong, that's because of our investment in signings, but in fact, I believe that after this game, everyone knows which team is stronger! In the championship, we are the weak, so we need to be more serious!"

This sentence is a bit of a provocation, but I have to say that Mourinho succeeded.

Before the game, the media believed that Chelsea would be the strongest team this season, while Manchester City retained the lineup last season. Without much change, it would naturally be a little worse. But just as Mourinho said, after this game, who dares to say that Manchester City is not as good as Chelsea?

After saying these words, Mourinho left.

Afterwards, as if he had a tacit understanding, Wan Sheng walked into the press conference and immediately became the protagonist of the venue. The enthusiasm of the media was even more popular than Mourinho just now. It was just because Manchester City was the winner today.

A reporter immediately "reminds" Wan Sheng what Mourinho said just now.

Wan Sheng just smiled at this. He knew that it was the time to be proud, because the team had just defeated Chelsea with a big score at Stamford Bridge, which was something that the team had not done in two seasons.

As the saying goes, "A man is popular and jealous." Wan Sheng can already imagine the dilemma that Manchester City and himself will face next.

Wan Sheng is not a good man. In the Premier League, there are many people with bad relationships with him, such as Mourinho who just left, Manchester City coach Ferguson, and even Benitez has a very good relationship with him. Only Wenger and him have a personal relationship. This may be because Arsenal is unable to compete for the league championship in the past two seasons.

Coupled with the group of English media that were completely hostile to him, Wan Sheng can be described as "embarrassed in England".

But so what?

If he wants to reach the top, he has to face difficulties and obstacles. He will not become extremely excited because of any timidity, but instead feels the challenge.

Wan Sheng said in response, "As a head coach, what I need is respect. I already have too much love, including love from my family, love from my girlfriend, love from the players, etc. I don't need more love. I just need respect."

Faced with the reporter's "provocative" problem that "Morlinho seems to have no good feelings for you", Wan Sheng smiled and said that a successful coach and an excellent team are unlikely to get the favor of their opponents. "Only those fans who remain neutral will like the championship team, because our opponents' fans will definitely only support the team they like. However, I would rather be jealous and hateful than hope that the team will win."

Then Wan Sheng talked about the goals of this season, "You can all guess that yes, our goal is to win the championship, the league championship. This is our biggest goal!"

"Unlike last season, we have the Champions League to participate. I dare not say that we can lead the team to the Champions League championship 100%, but the team and I will definitely work hard to achieve better results!"

Speaking of this, Wan Sheng showed great confidence on his face.

Later, when facing the choice between the Champions League and the Premier League, Wan Sheng directly expressed his attitude, "I look forward to the remaining 37 league games this season. Success is to win the championship in major events for me, but here, maybe the Premier League championship is more meaningful than the Champions League."

After talking about goals and confidence, media reporters began to ask questions such as game evaluation, the focus was on the performance of the players of the two teams.

Wan Sheng was generous in praise of his players, "Nicolas, Lee, David and others performed very well. We won a big victory, and everyone was a hero of victory." After that, Wan Sheng focused on Anelka, "He scored two goals and performed very well. He seized the opportunity he could seize. This is what a forward should do. I hope he can maintain such performance in the future. I believe he is one of the best forwards on this earth!"

This strong praise made many reporters remember it word by word.

But in fact, Wan Sheng is very satisfied with Anelka's performance, but not to this extent. In European football, there are many geniuses who can score goals. Anelka is not good, and there are other people in the team who can replace him. He is even more satisfied with the performance of Morris and Silva. It is these two who make the team's frontcourt active that the team can win a big score.

Morris won't mention much. His ability is enough to support his outstanding performance. The one who is most satisfied with Wan Sheng is David Silva. After a season, David Silva has grown up. Although it cannot be compared with those veterans, as an offensive forward, he is fully qualified. What is particularly valuable is Silva's flexibility in the game.

"It's hard for you to know what he's going to do next." Wan Sheng commented on David Silva, "I believe he will be better in the future. He has the potential to become a world superstar!"

For Morris, Wan Sheng only said one thing, "He is already a superstar, and it is normal for a world superstar to perform anyway."

This sentence is enough to make people know that Wan Sheng values ​​Morris.

After that, media reporters began to ask Wan Sheng to evaluate the performance of Chelsea players. Shepchenko and Barack were naturally the key point. For players with good performance, Wan Sheng actually has nothing to say. After all, that is not his own player. For players with poor performance, he can encourage a few words, so Wan Sheng only said Shepchenko, "He is one of the best strikers, and his experience has proven everything."

"He can succeed in AC Milan, and I believe it will be the same at Chelsea."

"He has just arrived and it will take more time. I think after a period of adaptation, his performance will get better and better."

Wan Sheng expressed his confidence in Shepchenko.

The media can also read these meanings from his tone and expression, which is exactly what Wansheng wants to reveal, but in fact, no one knows what he thinks.

How did Shepchenko perform after she arrived at Chelsea?

The impression of my previous life was getting worse and worse, and it was not reasonable at all. I could still play in the first season, but it was a mess later. Later, AC Milan loaned him over and returned to the Serie A arena without any performance. It can be said that from now on, Shepchenko's career will decline sharply.

If it is his own player, Wan Sheng will definitely try his best to make Shepchenko adapt to the Premier League and strive to maintain his form. But Shepchenko belongs to Chelsea. Doesn’t his performance make Chelsea perform well? No matter what, it is always good to lose one opponent. The world of football is to do everything, and psychological tactics are also crucial, so Wan Sheng recognized Shepchenko’s ability with a smile.

It would be better for everyone to think so. Shepchenko may have more opportunities. It would be fine if he performed very well, but if he was "ambiguous" and performed averagely, he always needed to adapt to playing time. With his relationship with Abramovich, he would definitely challenge Mourinho's authority at Chelsea.

Chelsea will not be a solid piece by then.

Those superstars who are difficult to play on weekdays will definitely be dissatisfied with Mourinho. These factors have erupted, and perhaps things will happen to be the opposite of what Mourinho said-

When the two teams meet again, will Chelsea still be among Manchester City's competitors? (To be continued.)
