Chapter 59 Even Tottenham Wants a Championship
"Hey, it feels great to lead by 3 points!"
In the locker room, Scholes was so excited that he danced. It was more than three years, and he led his opponent in the standings for the first time by 3 points!
As one of the oldest players on the team, Scholes knows what these 3 points mean.
Last season, it only suppressed Chelsea for several rounds with the advantage of goal difference, and Manchester United was catching up afterwards, and this season, Manchester United led three points in the third round this season, which is simply unimaginable.
Although not only Manchester United have won three consecutive games, but also Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham, etc. are behind them, in the eyes of Manchester United players, only Chelsea is the opponent, and nothing else is...
"This time I will definitely not give them a chance to catch up!" Scholes held his fist tightly, and rarely saw him look so serious. He is in his thirty years old, and his ambition is rarely aroused again.
Manchester United is going to regain the league championship, which is the biggest goal of Manchester United club this season!
At the press conference, Ferguson couldn't help but be excited. Regarding the three-pointer leading Chelsea in the standings, Ferguson bluntly said: "This is our best opportunity. Manchester United must seize this opportunity and keep leading. We won't give Chelsea any chance. We all know what this means. We have been waiting for more than three years."
Dong Fangzhuo, who followed Sir Joseph to attend the press conference, was not as excited as Sir Joseph, but he also said: "For me, it is only possible to use goals to ensure that Manchester United continues to win. Every Manchester United player wants to win the Premier League trophy at the end of the season."
Soon, Sir Joseph also returned to his calmness: "Our advantage is based on Chelsea's loss, but this is only the first three games. Of course, Manchester United has made up their minds to win the championship, the players are working towards this goal, and the timing is good this year."
Chelsea has already been in trouble!
At the moment of the game, Mourinho had already been furious in the locker room. After losing to Manchester United in the Community Shield, Mourinho had already had a premonition that such a thing would happen, but he still stubbornly believed that Chelsea would not have a big problem, but after playing Middlesbrough away, he was not so optimistic.
Manchester United's strength is in sharp contrast with Chelsea's depressedness.
Chelsea lost at Riverside Stadium for two consecutive years, and was beaten 0-3 last season, and this time it was reversed under the lead.
Mourinho pointed out the most critical reason for losing: the players' attitude is wrong and lack of fighting spirit.
"I'm not disappointed, I'm only disappointed when we should win and don't win," Mourinho said. "We are not worthy of victory, so I'm not disappointed in losing in this situation. We can't blame the referee, the opponent, the wrong one, the wrong one, the wrong one, the wrong one, the wrong one, the wrong one, the wrong one, the wrong one, the wrong one, the wrong one, the wrong one, the wrong one, the wrong one, the wrong one, the wrong one, the wrong one, the wrong one, the wrong one, the wrong one, the wrong one, the wrong one, the wrong one, the wrong one, the wrong one, the wrong one, the wrong one, the wrong one, the wrong one, the wrong one, the wrong one, the wrong one, the wrong one, the wrong one, the wrong one, the wrong one, the wrong one, the wrong one, the wrong one, the wrong one, the wrong one, the wrong one, the wrong one, the wrong one, the wrong one, the wrong one, the wrong one, the wrong one, the wrong one
Luck can only blame myself for performing too poorly. So, I am not disappointed."
"In my opinion, the key is attitude. When a team suddenly accelerates from 80 to 90 minutes, puts a lot of pressure on the opponent and almost wins the game, it's because they can do it, but we didn't do that in the previous game. Before being tied, we just watched Middlesbrough play on the court, and then followed, waiting for the final whistle."
Chelsea had a chance to lay the victory, but they missed it, which also made Mourinho regret: "But there were 90 minutes of football, not 75 minutes or 80 minutes, and unfortunately, we finally lost the game. We could have scored the second goal, Lampard hit the goal frame, and we still had a chance to score before the opponent scored the second goal."
But Mourinho admitted that Chelsea was overwhelmed by their opponents’ fighting spirit: "Their fighting spirit is much stronger than ours, and I don't think we deserve a better result."
Then on the weekend, Chelsea will face Blackburn, and Mourinho will cheer up his players: "The key point is that we know why we can win the championship twice, we must know. I know, I think the players also know that playing like a championship cannot be like this attitude, that's for sure."
After taking over Chelsea, Mourinho and Middlesbrough won both their first three games, but then they lost two consecutive games. Coincidentally, after three consecutive games against Blackburn, he lost away last season. This time he played against Blackburn again, will Mourinho retake the same trajectory as against Miburg?
But what made Mourinho very upset was that all England wanted to see them lose...
"Dynasty changes hands? The opportunity for other teams is here!" The Times couldn't help but shout.
"The opportunity for Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool is here."
"Chelsea in the third year may really lose the dominance of the Premier League. If Liverpool does not take the opportunity to rise, they may have to watch Manchester United rise again!" The Daily Mail shook the flag and shouted for Liverpool. This is indeed a great opportunity for Liverpool to rise again. Chelsea's dominance has declined. Manchester United and Arsenal are in the reconstruction period and are on the same starting line as Liverpool. If you don't seize this opportunity, what year will Liverpool have to wait?
※※※※
In any case, Chelsea's loss inspired all the fighting spirit of Manchester United players.
On Tuesday morning, Dong Fangzhuo was still the first to come to the training ground, but not long after, he found that he had more teammates. This was not seen in the past. At most, only Ronaldo and Rossi came very early, and half of the others appeared on time.
What surprised him the most was Rooney!
Rooney came to the training ground in advance, like a rare guest who had not been here for a long time.
"Little Pang, come so early?"
"For the championship." Rooney wanted to beat his chest.
"I can't stand being ridden by Chelsea. This season, we must win the championship!"
Even Rooney, who has always been lazy, has to work hard.
Soon, all the first team Manchester United players arrived, which was a rare sight.
Even the coach of the youth team was stunned.
"What's going on today?"
"Why do first-team players come so early?"
"I've been at Manchester United for more than 20 years and have never seen such a scene..."
"Ahhh, the sun is coming out from the west."
"For the championship?"
"I haven't seen a Manchester United player like this for a long time." The assistant coach smiled aside.
"Yes, we're at the top of the list now."
