Chapter 848

The first day of the first round of the Champions League group stage, the unpopularity was a big deal. Liverpool's draw by Ertu was a piece of cake. After all, Porto also has a glorious past and is now a strong team between second-rate and first-rate. Another Premier League giant, Chelsea, was tied by Rosenberg 1:1, which is a big unpopular. You know, Chelsea is fighting at home Stamford Bridge.

After Mourinho took over Chelsea, Chelsea is definitely a god-like existence at Stamford Bridge. Since losing to Arsenal 1-2 at home on February 21, 2004, Chelsea has never lost at home again. Although he did not lose yesterday, he was tied by a weak team like Rosenberg, which made Chelsea more painful than losing to a giant team.

After the game, Liverpool was called "stealed" by the Portuguese media and the English media, while Chelsea was tied by Rosenberg after the game and was jokingly called by the "last-class egg" by the English media to tie the "second-class egg".

The reason why the media used "last-class eggs" and "second-class eggs" to satirize Mourinho and Chelsea is because Mourinho had a magical egg theory before. Because he was dissatisfied with the boss's lack of money to buy stars, Mourinho made a wonderful metaphor for players compared to eggs at a press conference, "Without eggs, there is no omelette. The quality of omelette depends on the quality of the eggs. There are many types of eggs in supermarkets, such as A, B, or C. Some eggs are more expensive than other eggs, and these expensive eggs can make better omelettes. If Class A eggs can only be bought in Clues (high-end British supermarkets), but you can't go to that supermarket, you will have a problem."

The English media originally had a bad relationship with Mourinho, but now they finally have a chance to hit Mourinho, so they would not let it go. The reporter not only mocked Mourinho in newspapers and TV, but also tried to let Chelsea players attack Mourinho. However, Chelsea players and Mourinho have a strong relationship, and no one is willing to say bad things about Mourinho. Even Shevchenko, who has a very strong relationship with Mourinho, said that it was not Mourinho's fault that Rosenberg tied in this game, which made the reporters' conspiracy to attack Mourinho was lost.

Of course, Chelsea is not without a mate. At least another giant, Inter Milan, is with them. The opponent of Inter Milan to play away is the Turkish powerhouse Fenerbahce. Fenerbahce is better than Rosenberg, but under Porto, Inter Milan actually lost.

Except for Liverpool, the three giants Inter Milan and Chelsea were not good, and all other giants participating in the game won the victory. For example, Barcelona, ​​Manchester United, Arsenal, Milan, and Real Madrid, the opponents of these giants are stronger than those of Liverpool, Inter Milan and Chelsea, and they can score three points, showing a good rise.

The four Premier League giants won two wins and tied two times, Liverpool and Chelsea drew, Manchester United and Arsenal recovered in form, which is not good news for Liverpool. Chelsea is in such a poor state. If they are eliminated early in the European game, they will definitely go all out to play in the league. Manchester United recovered in form and will definitely become Liverpool's strong opponent again, allowing Liverpool's plan to break away from Manchester United and Chelsea in the league to go bankrupt.

When he returned to Liverpool, Benitez quickly held a meeting. The topic of the meeting was to summarize the gains and losses of the Champions League and prepare for the next league opponent Birmingham.

The result of the first round of the Champions League is definitely not good. Since Marseille easily defeated Besiktas 2:0, this is even more unfavorable to Liverpool. This shows that Marseille also has the possibility of competing for the first place in the group with Liverpool and Porto. If Liverpool cannot defeat Besiktas with a big score in the second round of the group, then Porto's ambition to compete for the first place in the group with Marseille will further improve. Liverpool will never be as sluggish as against Porto in the next game, otherwise it will be more difficult and may even affect the league in turn.

In the league, against Birmingham is Chen Yu's last ban. After this game, Liverpool can welcome their most intimidating scorer and the game will be easier to play, but this game with Birmingham is not easy to play. In the last round of the league with Portsmouth, Liverpool did not win, and did not win the Champions League with Porto. In short, Liverpool has already tied two consecutive times in the Champions League and the league, which is a big blow to morale.

Birmingham is not the original Birmingham now. After Chinese businessman Yang Jiacheng took over, although Birmingham did not recruit soldiers on a large scale like Manchester City and Portsmouth, the morale of the team was completely different.

In addition, although Birmingham is a newly promoted team, his head coach Bruce has been coaching since 2002 and led Birmingham to play in the Premier League last season. He is not a rookie with no experience in the Premier League. Moreover, Bruce coached Birmingham, who is currently coaching against Benitez, still has an advantage in the league, with 3 wins, three draws and two losses in eight games, which is similar to Ferguson's record against Benitez. If Liverpool still cannot show its best form, it is hard to say whether it can beat Birmingham at home.

Regardless of the record, the gap between Birmingham and Liverpool lies where the strength gap is. Benitez only emphasized two points in the game against Birmingham. One is to never be careless and underestimate the enemy. Birmingham should be regarded as Chelsea. The second is to seize opportunities. Seizing opportunities has always been Liverpool's biggest problem, and it was solved after Chen Yu came. Now Chen Yu is suspended, seizing opportunities has become the top priority of Liverpool's game.

After the meeting, Liverpool trained step by step at the base as usual. Chen Yu also practiced with other players. After training for about an hour, the players stopped to drink water and rested. At this time, the assistant coach suddenly exclaimed with his cell phone: "God! Mourinho is dismissed! Mourinho is dismissed!"

Hearing the assistant coach's shouting, all the players were shocked and could not believe their ears.

"Really?"

"No way?"

"Just kidding, will Mourinho be dismissed?"

...

Benitez actually has heard of the conflict between Mourinho and Abramovich before, but those contradictions are nothing at all. Whether in the Premier League, La Liga or other leagues, there are always conflicts between the boss and the coach. Benitez does not think that this conflict will lead to Abramovich's firing Mourinho.

"Where did you get the news?" Benitez asked seriously.

The assistant coach said: "My friend said, but the news of Mourinho's dismissal has been flying all over the Internet, and we haven't had time to read it yet."

"So, I'll go and have a look."

Benitez handed over the training to the tactical coach and physical coach, and quickly returned to the office to check the news about Mourinho online.

Twenty minutes later, Benitez came out of the office, and the players did not train at this time and were all talking about Mourinho's dismissal.

Benitez said unhappily: "What's the matter if you don't train and chat? What does Mourinho have to do if he doesn't have to be over? Can Mourinho win without a fight after class? "

Gerald said happily: "Although it has no impact on the fight against Birmingham, we will definitely lose one opponent to compete for the championship."

Alonso said: "I guess Chelsea will lose in this red and blue battle between Chelsea and Manchester United."

Benitez said lightly: "This also means that Manchester United can score three-pointers, and this is not necessarily a good thing for us."

Chen Yu asked: "So Mourinho must have been dismissed. Why did the get out of class suddenly end?"

Benitez had not yet answered, but when he looked at Chen Yu, he reluctantly said: "After all, it's the result. Abraham needs the Champions League, Mourinho can't win it. Yesterday's Champions League was tied by Rosenberg, so it's natural to be dismissed."

The assistant coach said: "I heard that when Rosenberg was leading yesterday, Abu was laughing, and after the game, he went to the locker room to applaud the players and coaches that they had a wonderful game."

Benitez said: "The results are always the first. If we can't win the next game against Birmingham, it is not impossible for the get out of class to be heard in the Anfield stands."

The assistant coach and the player hurriedly said, "How could that happen?" "How could that be."

Benitez said seriously: "It is very likely that if we are not prepared for the game against Birmingham, because the next big game between Manchester United and Chelsea is likely to be Manchester United winning. The gap between Arsenal and Manchester United and us is 3 points. If we lose, Arsenal and Manchester United will catch up with us in points."

The assistant coaches and players couldn't help but feel astonished. Before playing against Chelsea, they still hope to completely throw Manchester United away and kill their opponents at the starting line. But when they look back, Manchester United is about to clear the gap with them. Now is not the time to gloat about Chelsea, but the time to work hard to do their own work.

In the seventh round of the Premier League, the point battle was originally a red and blue battle between Manchester United and Chelsea, and a red wine agreement between Mourinho and Ferguson. However, with Mourinho's dismissal, the media in the entire England and Europe football circles were talking about Mourinho. Almost all reports described the lethality of the incident with words such as "shock", "unbelievable" and "earthquake". The red and blue battle seemed insignificant.

The BBC official website also rarely puts this sports news on the homepage headline with a striking dark red background, titled "That Special Character is gone", and writes extremely sensational: "Jose originally had everything: success, a beautiful family and a good tailor, but now he has no job. He still has football, but he doesn't know who to pass it on. Let's bless this special character with us."

The Sun commented: "There is an explosive news today - the madman." Mourinho was dismissed and said goodbye to Chelsea and farewell to Stamford Bridge Stadium. The Blues, who led the Ruble to build, stepped down from the altar three years later.

In the past three years, Mourinho has led the Blues to regain his glory and won his first Premier League championship in 50 years, defending his title once, a FA Cup championship and two League Cup championships. Now, the romantic always is blown away by the rain and wind, and Mourinho has not escaped the same fate of Lazili.

From the identity of Porto Portugal as a double-title coach, he became Chelsea's coach. This strong and unique coach realized his value in the transformation of the Blues. Here, he achieved his glory in the British arena. In three years, the madman won the championships in various domestic events in England. However, the European arena became a nightmare for him and the Blues. He lost twice at the foot of the Reds to the final, making Mourinho unable to regain the glory of the Porto period. Behind the huge throws and smashes, Abram must be dissatisfied with the current result. The "Rubleigh Legion" cannot simply put his vision in China. What he needs is to stand at the top of Europe. Therefore, Mourinho's European battle answers cannot satisfy the Russians.

In the first round of the Champions League group stage, facing Nordic weak team Rosenberg. When Drogba and Lampard were unable to play, Chelsea's attack power was greatly weakened, but the Blues who played in the remaining team did not get a satisfactory result. So Mourinho, who had experienced three years of itching, finally reached a "divorce agreement" with Chelsea.

Life is bound to experience painful struggles. Saying goodbye to Mourinho is not only a person’s glorious memory, but also a crazy era.

Mourinho, it’s easy to go!”

The Times in England sighed and said: "Football is a control game. You control others and are also controlled by others. Investors, teams, coaches, players, and fans are actually just a part of this game. In this game, it is full of control and being controlled, full of betrayal and being betrayed, and full of transcendence and being surpassed." This time Mourinho did not want to control others, nor did he want to be controlled by others. Instead of saying that this is a betrayal, it is better to say that this is a transcendence.

With six championships in three years, it is not Mourinho himself, but Abu, the fans, the people who see a new football concept, and the people who are tired of appreciating the charm of madmen. For Mourinho, leaving Porto is not a betrayal, and coming to Chelsea is not to surpass, but to prove himself.

From the Premier League champion to the FA Cup last season, to the unfavorable start of this year, no one would have expected this to be the beginning of Chelsea’s downward trend, but Mourinho is gone, and Chelsea is destined to sink for a while.

But without Mourinho, Liverpool fans, Manchester United fans, Arsenal fans, and Mourinho fans, and Chelsea fans don’t have to cry! As long as there is Abraham’s ruble, the Romance of the Four Nations in the Premier League will continue. As long as Mourinho is still alive, the legend of God’s second will continue to be staged."

Portugal's Football commented: "...Mr. Mourinho's departure from Chelsea can be said to be a matter of time sooner or later. Since he put Abraham's direct line, Shevchenko, on the bench, the madman has forced himself to the cliff. From then on, he has never had a chance to make mistakes in the Blues, otherwise every mistake may lead to leaving. Under his leadership, the Blues' record in the new season is not good. Chelsea, who has repeatedly lost to the weak brigade, has put him on the cusp of the storm. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is leaving at any time.

Mourinho, who became Chelsea's head coach in the summer of 2004, has won two Premier League championships, one FA Cup and two League Cup championships in his three and a half seasons. In the past four years, Chelsea has been deeply imprinted with "crazy men". After they get used to winning the championship, they can no longer tolerate even minor mistakes. Abraham's willful actions are likely to leave Chelsea far behind by Manchester United, the Reds, and Arsenal, and are unable to fight again.

Chelsea's performance at the start of the game was not good, but it was not bad. Chelsea had not yet overcome this hurdle in the first few rounds of the league. At this time, Mourinho needed to get the lineup most, but he left. The utilitarian Abu only stared at the report card, but he did not reflect on himself. Abu, who has always spent money like flowing water, is far less than Liverpool this season. Manchester United invests more, and even less investments in small and medium-sized teams, such as Manchester City. Let's look at the previous buyers, whether it is Sheva or Barack, how many people are Mourinho who wants? After these big names come, Mourinho must arrange them to play, otherwise there will be figures in Abu's office.

Mourinho left, and the madman hated by reporters and fans left. After he left, Chelsea, which had been piled up by the ruble, was very likely to collapse in an instant. The tactical system he worked hard to build would collapse invisibly. No matter who was succeeding him, he would definitely use Sheva, obey public opinion, and switch to offensive football. The Chelsea model, which has always relied on "ugly" defense but was extremely efficient, will also disappear from the world. After the new coach takes office, perhaps Chelsea's performance will improve initially, playing the role of changing coaches like changing swords, but as the game deepens, Chelsea's various contradictions will inevitably be exposed one by one. Maybe at that time they can only watch Manchester United and the Reds killed in the frontcourt."

Not only did the English and Portuguese media report on Mourinho's dismissal at the first time, but Spain, Italy and France also published this explosive news on the front page.

Italian "Milan Sports" expressed surprise at Mourinho's resignation and invited Mourinho to coach in Serie A, and believed that Serie A was Mourinho's best stage. Inter Milan is now in need of a magical coach like Mourinho.

Spain's "World Sports" believes that Abu's firing Mourinho is definitely a mistake. Abu hopes to play Barcelona's offense that is smooth and mercury, but this cannot be bought with a ruble. This is the result of Barcelona's 20 years of persistence in technical football. Not only does Abu want Mourinho cannot give him, but no coach can give him. Chelsea's performance is not good, but it is actually Abu, not Mourinho.

French "League" believes that a coach with outstanding achievements did not make any big mistakes and was fired at the beginning of the season was an incredible thing. If Abu's invitation to Mourinho was the most correct decision in his football adventure that year, then rashly firing Mourinho today may also be his most wrong decision.

Although Mourinho and Ferguson are opponents, Ferguson said about Mourinho's departure: "Jose's departure is very regrettable, I feel very disappointed, and it is a huge loss for Chelsea and even the whole of England. I like to compete with him very much, and he brought new ideas to the league. His sudden departure made the weekend games a lot. I don't know what to do with my wine now, I wish him good luck!"

Wenger and Mourinho have the worst relationship. The two have had many verbal fights. However, the professor still feels regret and sad about such an opponent leaving Chelsea. Wenger said: "This makes people feel sad because I believe Mourinho is a very capable coach. The stability of a team is crucial. Mourinho is not good news for Chelsea. We always have some conflicts, but we have become much more harmonious recently. He is a great coach. He helped the team become champions through transformation. I respect his achievements and his ability to work. He deserves respect and praise."

Compared with Ferguson and Wenger's regret, Benitez ruthlessly expressed that he had nothing to do with Mourinho's departure. When asked by reporters how he viewed Mourinho's departure from Chelsea, Benitez said: "I have nothing to say. You all know what happened to me and him. I have nothing to say about his departure. What I care about now is the game between the team and Birmingham on the weekend."

When talking about the impact of Mourinho's departure on Chelsea, Benitez said insincerely: "I don't think I'm suitable to talk about a team in such a situation. I only know that Chelsea is still a great team and has the best players, and they are still important opponents to defend our title."

Blues coach Jose Mourinho's dismissal is tantamount to an earthquake in British football, and British Prime Minister Brown was also alarmed by this incident.

A Brown's spokesman said on the 20th: "The Prime Minister is a fan and loves watching Premier League games, so he understands Mourinho's extraordinary achievements. In his short coaching period, he has made a significant contribution to British football. He can be regarded as one of the great men of the sport. As one of the most successful head coaches in Chelsea's history, his departure has made it difficult for the whole world to digest."
