Chapter 483

When Chelsea meets Villarreal, many English media have already determined that Chelsea will easily enter the final. Other aspects may be comparable, but in terms of experience in the Champions League alone, La Liga's Champions League newcomers must not be as rich as Chelsea.

Anyway, Chelsea was also the champion last season, and after Abramovich took over, it has become the norm for them to enter the Champions League. Even in the Agnelli era, they had an amazing performance in the semi-finals of the Champions League, let alone now.

Villarreal's ability to eliminate Inter Milan may have surprised many people, but this result is not enough to make the English media think that they can go further in the Champions League. "The semi-finals are destined to be Villarreal's. Terminus."

This kind of argument is not the rhetoric of one or two media, but most of the media have such a view. Judging from the current fierce state of Chelsea, they will not lose to their opponents in the two rounds of the semi-finals. It is steady.

But compared with the optimistic tone of the media, Mourinho did not relax his attention to the Villarreal team. Even this guy has got the video of the last [-] games of the "Yellow Submarine" and started Analysis on the go.

"Will a team that can eliminate Inter Milan be so easy to deal with? Shouldn't we pay attention to a team that can rank among the top three in the Champions League in terms of offensive efficiency?" Mourinho disagrees.

Nothing is certain in this world, especially football matches, which will always have variables, otherwise there would not be so many dark polo teams. Who dared to predict that Porto would win the Champions League trophy, maybe even himself dare not.

But the fact is that Porto slapped everyone in the face with their actions. I really don’t know how many football critics were ruthlessly ridiculed after the Champions League. Mourinho didn’t want the dark horse to target himself this time. It's Chelsea.

After watching all the videos of Villarreal’s recent matches against the Champions League, Mourinho’s notepad has many more things, from the opponent’s coach to the main players, from the lineup arrangement to their substitution habits , which are accumulating rapidly.

Moreover, in the last two La Liga games, Villarreal has obviously started to stay strong. They even rested at least six main players in one league rotation. Mourinho understands that this is Pellegrini's choice. To fight Chelsea.

Although the opponent said that their task has been overfulfilled to reach the semi-finals, Mourinho does not believe that the opponent will let Chelsea step on him to approach the Champions League final. This semi-final will definitely be a hand-to-hand combat .

Before the latest league game, Villarreal had brought back all of their main players. They even consciously gave up their league results. It was obvious that they were ready to welcome Chelsea's visit at the Las Vegas Stadium. .

With a transfer fee of less than 2000 million euros, Villarreal can be brought to the third place in La Liga, and the Champions League has reached the semi-finals. Mourinho will also focus on such opponents, although he was in Porto. There have been such achievements.

But to be able to achieve such results under the attack of the two heroes in La Liga, we have to say that Pellegrini's coaching level is absolutely top-notch, and he also has his own super personnel, especially in the use of those players who have been abandoned by the giants. Integration.

Like when Riquelme was abandoned by Barcelona, ​​everyone probably thought that this Argentine midfield genius was going to go back to Argentina in such a dismal manner. La Liga is obviously not a place for him to live and work, and he is a bit out of place here.

But Pellegrini awakened the potential of this Argentine genius in less than half a season. Now Barcelona must regret giving such a midfielder to their opponents, and Villarreal did beat them.

Barcelona's loss at the El Estadio was due to an omission in the marking of Riquelme, allowing the silent Argentine to tear a gap in their defense, and the score was [-]-[-]. remember.

Even Laporta admitted after the game that they gave up a genius, but he did not say that the team had a problem with the use of Riquelme, but that the two sides did not find a consensus. It is estimated that Laporte Ta can only hide his embarrassment in this way.

Many teams have asked Villarreal to buy Argentines during the winter transfer period. There are many rich teams among them. It can be seen that Riquelme's performance has won the favor of many teams. respect, or covet.

But the Villarreal team will not give up the opportunity to create club history for 2000 million euros, not to mention that they have already won a lot by reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League. As for the so-called transfer fees, they have long been wiped out by the generous bonuses draw.

Not only did Riquelme shine brightly under Pellegrini, like Forlan, who was abandoned by Manchester United, and Jose Mari, who has been hovering outside the first-class striker, these guys have all been very gloomy In the past, but now all changed.

Forlan has become a well-known and efficient killer in La Liga, and Jose Mari's goal count is also the highest season in recent years, plus Sorin, Senna, these already famous guys, Villarreal This can be regarded as a team with a lot of accumulation and thin hair.

"I'd rather run into Arsenal or AC Milan than Villarreal." This is what Mourinho said to his coaching staff after a busy few days, and it's definitely not A joke he made in his spare time.

"If it is Arsenal and AC Milan, I may be more familiar with it. A strange and lethal dark polo team is often the most difficult to deal with. What's more, our opponents don't have any pressure to speak of. They will play well. same fighting power."

Mourinho is not just talking about it, he really thinks so. If he is allowed to choose, he will definitely choose to fight against Arsenal or AC Milan in the semi-finals instead of facing a group of powerful players. Ambitious, capable potential threat.

After all, compared with Pellegrini who is a bit unfamiliar, Wenger and Ancelotti are old enemies, and Mourinho is more familiar with them. Even Wenger's current Champions League strategy is also pragmatic, but Mourinho Ou still has the confidence to fight the opponent.

As for Ancelotti, Mourinho has always believed that this opponent is sometimes too cheap, and his intrigues can always take advantage of the opponent's death. It is strange to people.

Mourinho's cautiousness is not just lip service. After successfully defending the Premier League title, Chelsea has also started a large-scale rotation. Players who may play in the Champions League have begun to adjust their status to prepare for a match with Villarreal. Yar's battle.

And Chelsea, who only lost one game in the league, no longer pay attention to their winning percentage. For them, the Premier League is over, and the outcome is no longer important. Now everyone's focus has shifted to the Champions League and football The competition for the total cup.

But even if Chelsea doesn't have a strong mentality to win, those Premier League opponents can't get any advantage from them. Bolt originally thought that he could get some benefits from Chelsea, who successfully defended his title, but these guys obviously miscalculated. .

Even if Chelsea rotates the entire team, the trouble they can cause to the Premier League opponents is not small. Cassano, Anelka, and Ribery are in good form recently. Chelsea is under their crazy leadership Continue to plunder the victory.

Bolton originally wanted to make a surprise attack, but in the end they were destroyed by Ribery's sprint and Cassano's ghostly blow in front of the goal. At home, Bolton still lost against Chelsea, who had more than half of the substitutes. An embarrassing zero to two.

Although Bolton did occupy a certain advantage in the first half, and they also threatened Cech's goal with two shots, and their defense line was strong for nearly 75 minutes, but in the last 15 minutes, they were defeated by Chelsea.

In fact, Bolton's full-court pressing and destructive style of play did make Mourinho frown on the sidelines for more than 70 minutes, but Chelsea is so domineering now, as long as they are given a little chance, these people can make them The other party wants to cry but has no tears.

Ribery caught such an opportunity in a defensive counterattack. Cassano used his personal skills to get rid of the entanglement of the two defenders in the midfield, and sent Ribery a kick before the opponent kicked hard. Remember the beautiful through ball.

Now in the Chelsea lineup, besides Robben, a madman on the wing, there is another guy who can attack on the wing wantonly. Even Duff, the absolute main force of last season, has been successfully squeezed to the bench by this young Frenchman. up.

Ribery did not disappoint Mourinho's trust in him. Just like this sprint counterattack, Cassano's precise pass and his smart running position achieved a standard anti-offside. The goalkeeper becomes helpless in front of him.

With a goal, the rhythm of the game is automatically brought under Chelsea's control, and Cassano's supplementary shot in front of the goal seems logical. Anelka's header is also from Ribery's cross. The ball was released and Cassano made a supplementary shot.

Mourinho does not have too many comments on this kind of game. He has won the Premier League championship. He and Chelsea have become accustomed to such a victory, but there are still many things in this game that he needs to summarize after the game. .

"Chelsea's current offense often suddenly accelerates in this kind of unremarkable pass. They are still mostly on the bench. If they are replaced with a pure main lineup, they may not give Bolton any chance."

During the Chelsea-Bolton game, probably no one noticed that there were other people in the stands, Pellegrini was not the type to attract attention wherever he was, and he was dressed more like an ordinary man. fans only.

It's just that the Argentine coach's eyes are always on his next opponent, that Mourinho who has been on the sidelines, but has always seemed very quiet. That guy will take this Chelsea team to the Estadio de la Vella in two weeks. .

Although Pellegrini knew that it was impossible for Chelsea to play with the full main lineup in this game, he still hoped to observe his next opponent at close range. Sometimes the game video can only see the team's performance, but ignores the main team. coach.

Pellegrini, who was born in engineering, has always believed in the fact that a team is good or bad, in addition to the players, what a coach can bring to the team will determine the success or failure of the team, Murray Neo is clearly the cornerstone of Chelsea.

Only by observing the other party at close range can he understand some of the way of thinking of this colleague, but Mourinho's calmness surprised him. You must know that everyone in England knows that Mourinho must not be provoked. Because that's a madman.

But today Pellegrini saw what Mourinho's composure is. Even in the first half when Bolton was bombarded so violently, Mourinho just stood there calmly without saying a word. side, observing every detail on the field.

"A guy who is so calm that it makes people feel scary." When seeing Mourinho keep writing something in the notepad, and then continue to look up to observe the game, Pellegrini felt that this is really a trick The details are the ultimate madman.

However, Mourinho did not let Pellegrini come here in vain. His three substitutions in the second half cannot be said to have reversed the situation instantly, but Bolton's wild bombing scene in the first half was indeed gone. Marcheni and others killed the opponent's offensive.

"Precise substitutions, always looking for the loopholes and flaws of the opponent." Pellegrini has always recognized one thing, a coach who can make correct adjustments in the spot game will cause trouble for the opponent and will also Easily break the balance point.

Understand what you lack and what you need to make up for. If such a coach has rich experience as a backing, then he will be able to accurately grasp the tactical rhythm of the team's home and away games in that kind of tournament system. .

"At home, we have to keep the home court without conceding a goal, otherwise we won't have too many chances at Stamford Bridge." Before turning around and leaving the Ruby Stadium, Pellegrini and his assistants whispered, facing Murray Neo, he's a little stressed.

Mourinho certainly didn't know that this insignificant game could make Pellegrini pay so much attention, and he didn't know that the Argentine coach would keep his eyes locked on himself during the 10 minutes of the game, and he had already begun to think about future games .

After successfully defending the Premier League champion, Mourinho is now just using this kind of game to test something, or start to adjust the player's game state. When the season comes to an end, the player's state will always have a little ups and downs.

But Lin Yi's desire to fight has always been crazy, as if he was sharpening his own knife, just waiting for the moment to meet Riquelme's bayonet, but Mourinho did not intend to let Lin Yi be in Show up in this kind of meaningless game.

Good steel must stay on the cutting edge, which is the principle that Mourinho has always believed in, and between the two semi-finals against Villarreal, they have to fight in the FA Cup. Manchester United exists, and Mourinho does not dare to take it lightly.

He stumbled once in the FA Cup last season. He doesn't want to repeat this situation this season. He has won both the League Cup and the Premier League. The FA Cup and the Champions League are Chelsea's next tasks. I don't want any surprises.

However, Lin Yi, who was hidden by Mourinho, did not have a peaceful life. Lin Yi, who stayed in London in this round, was targeted by those unscrupulous tabloid reporters. I don't know why these guys have such a sense of smell. Sensitive, they can always find some breaking news, for example, when Lin Yi and Selina were dating, they were able to cheat off the court on the streets of London.

When Lin Yi saw the report in The Sun, he just wanted to say, I will handcuff you!You are the one cheating!You all cheat!I'm just sending people home after filming commercials!However, Lin Yi's roar had long been ignored.

"Men, everyone wants to have an affair, we understand." Looking at the shameless expressions of Lampard and Gerrard, Lin Yi was really speechless. He could only raise his middle finger in response. For the first time he really felt like he was shot while lying down.

He really doesn't know how many reporters with cameras are attached to his buttocks when he goes out every day, but this time he knows it, because the group of photos of him sending people home are completely from multiple angles, and it is also More than one reporter.

That was a day ago, after he finished the shooting of the second commercial of the fashion Lafayette, he had the first experience, and this time he was not tortured for too long, but after leaving the studio, Emma Still asked to take his car home.

Lin Yi seldom rejects others, especially because he thinks that he and Emma have known each other for more than a year, which can be regarded as a friendship relationship. He has nothing to resist for such easy things, although there was some confusion when we parted last time. A little ambiguous.

With the dawdling last time, Lin Yi, who already knew the way, didn't spend so much time on the road this time, but after arriving at the destination, Emma invited him to have a cup of coffee at home, and the clear and harmless eyes made him feel Lin Yi didn't know how to refuse.

The time for a cup of coffee is not long, but it is enough to cause subtle changes between the two people, so that a delicate beauty is always staring at her intentionally or unintentionally. Ambiguous emotions.

Lin Yi finally finished the cup of hot coffee with the fastest speed, and chose to retreat before Emma wanted to refill it, and was alone under the same roof with a delicate little beauty. It's really difficult for a novice.

But seeing Lin Yi leaving in a hurry, Emma didn't look too disappointed, instead there was a little smile on the corner of her mouth, "That idiot, who is always so at a loss in front of the girl, is like sending me back the same day."

Emma has not forgotten the experience of gently holding her waist. That ignorant guy has always been stiff all the time, as if he was afraid that he would be dissatisfied. Emma, ​​who has been in Hollywood for a long time, is rare. To such a shy boy, but compared with those flattering guys, maybe this kind of shy fool can make people feel safer.

"I won't lose to her so easily." Emma pursed her thin lips and murmured softly when she looked at Lin Yi's leaving back.

Just one day later, when Lin Yi looked at those damn photos, he didn't feel any joy, and only cursed.

Damn gossip, damn reporter, your uncle!
