Chapter 43
Yesterday, Mourinho told Endrit to stop immersing himself in training from today on. This made Endrit think that Mourinho would rearrange his training plan or do something else today. .
But Endrit only saw Mourinho during the day today when Mourinho drove him to Chelsea in the morning, and did not see him at other times.
Endrit had some guesses in his mind, but he was not sure. When Mourinho took him home, he hesitated and asked, "Is Robben leaving? I don't think he came to training today."
Mourinho snorted lightly.
Endrit stopped talking, because Mourinho looked very serious. He also had a straight face when they were eating together. After being patted by Maltide, he forced a smile from behind.
In his first season at Chelsea, Mourinho used the two-winger tactics of Robben and Duff, coupled with Drogba as a stand-up center, the three of them together made the entire Premier League team and even the entire Europe look at him. .
If we can keep playing like this, that would be great. But the Premier League is a "body-focused" environment. If a player wants to succeed in the Premier League, the most difficult thing is not to gain a reputation, but whether he can cope with the "attention" of the Premier League defenders after he has gained a reputation.
"Attention" here is a verb, and the attention of Premier League defenders is translated into tough tackles again and again on the court.
Robben made a name for himself and won praise, but as the number of injuries increased, Robben became more and more cautious on the court. In order to avoid injuries, he reduced a lot of passing and sprinting, which ultimately seriously affected his performance on the court.
It is natural for Robben to be afraid of being tackled, but he has been the core of the team since Mourinho and has a high tactical status. When he was afraid, Chelsea's results also dropped.
Mourinho was so angry that he cursed in the locker room in an attempt to arouse Robben's passion, and tried to arouse Robben's ambition with patient persuasion in private. But in the end, Mourinho had no choice but to put Robben on the bench first—— He still has expectations for Robben.
"He is really too easy to get injured. He really has first-class skills. If he had a good body like you..."
Endritt was a little embarrassed, thinking that if he was really like him, then Robben would probably not be able to. I will continue to choose to play football.
"Coach," Endrit interrupted Mourinho and did not let him continue. "Actually, it would be good for him to go to La Liga. La Liga is a technical style of play. It is suitable for him there."
Mourinho Ao turned his head and glared at Endrit, "Oh, really? You coach me and I'm stupid, I only know this now!"
Endrit shrank his neck, "Coach, he really wants to leave. He was interviewed by the media before. When he kept saying that he wanted to go to Real Madrid, he said so. Even if you keep his person, you can't keep his heart. If you force him to play, in order to better protect himself, he will not play. Is it worse?"
"He won't," Mourinho snorted lightly. "If he performs too poorly, Real Madrid won't want him."
"Oh," Endrit. He laughed, "So coach, you had this idea? Then you can tell him to play well in the next game. Only if he plays well will he agree to transfer."
Mourinho looked at it angrily . Looking at Endrit, he reached out and patted Endrit on the head, then handed over a can of beer, "Drink yours..."
As soon as Endrit stretched out his hand to take it, Mourinho retracted his hand, "Drink yours." "Let's get some air."
Endrit opened his mouth and made a slurping sound, then smacked his mouth a few times. "The air smells bad. It smells like carbon dioxide."
"Then I'll buy you a can of oxygen?
"
"Okay, yes, I can have this." Endrit asked, "Coach, I want it to be beer- flavored !
"
Comfort, this person has a strong opinion in his heart and doesn’t really need Endrit’s opinion. He has already made up his mind. The reason why he has not decided yet is because he is still a little depressed and helpless in his heart: Why is Robben always so easily injured? ? Why?
Mourinho doesn't understand, but he knows that the frontcourt trio he created after coming to Chelsea will be disbanded starting today: only Drogba is left. What kind of trio is it? ?
On the eve of the European transfer market closing, Mourinho agreed to Real Madrid's offer, and Robben will officially become a member of Real Madrid in the near future.
This incident immediately became bombshell news in the Premier League. Mourinho was surrounded by media reporters as soon as he left Chelsea.
This time, Mourinho no longer avoided talking about it, and even talked about it, "Robben has always been my most trusted player. If possible, I want to be his coach for life. But the environment in the Premier League is too harsh." , because those defenders couldn't beat Robben technically, they deliberately tackled him and injured Robben. They thought they could beat Robben and Chelsea in this way, then I can only say that they thought too much. "
"Robben goes to Real Madrid? I hope Real Madrid can protect him. Robben's skills are first-rate. I believe he can be Real Madrid's savior. He will bring victory to Real Madrid. He will be the best player." "
No, I'm not worried about the next game at all. God has favored Chelsea, and now we have Endrit here."
"In the next game, I want to try a new philosophy, an offensive art."
"International. Matchday impact? No, I'm not worried at all, now that we have Endritt."
"Yes, we will face a lot of new challenges this season, but like I said before, yes, we have Endritt. , so I’m not worried at all.”
After an interview, Robben became Real Madrid’s unpaid savior, and Endritt also took advantage of the situation and became Chelsea’s savior—that’s what the media said.
The English media didn't care at all that Endritt had such praise, they were just "speaking rationally": Poor Mourinho, after losing his best players in a row, he could only hug Endritt's lap. , praying that the future goalkeeper can bring more victories to the team.
Mr. Carter was very happy. Liz called and said that Mr. Carter had been inviting friends to his home for tea every day, and then pretended to let his friends take a look at the family photo inadvertently: Did you see it? This is my son, handsome, right? What? Like that recently famous goalkeeper?
Damn, what does he look like? He is what he is!
"They are all happy, but I'm a little worried about you, Ritter," Liz sighed softly, "How are you doing recently? Don't put pressure on your wife, just be yourself, don't work so hard, your health That's the most important thing, you know?"
"Well, I know, don't worry, I will take care of myself. How are you doing recently..."
Mourinho
has been trying different tactics recently . When we played against Portsmouth on the 25th, we set up a 4-4-2 formation, but it was not the traditional 442, but a 442 with wingers.
Before this round of games, Chelsea and Portsmouth had met eight times in the Premier League, and they had won all eight times and conceded only one goal. The last time Portsmouth defeated Chelsea in the league was fifty years ago.
The historical record is so wonderful, and this game is at home. Chelsea fans basically come to watch a gorgeous victory.
But after the game started, Portsmouth was dominated by the west wind and the east wind prevailed at Stamford Bridge.
It was fine in the first half, with players from both sides coming and going. In the second half, the Portsmouth team came out in full force and basically suppressed Chelsea - and in the midfield position, Portsmouth completely suppressed Chelsea. Chelsea.
The Peruvian Pizarro, one of the two starting players in the frontcourt, could not get the ball for a long time in the frontcourt. Mourinho decisively replaced him with Kalou. He hoped that this player would be better at controlling the ball and dribbling and could lead from behind. Kalaw, the ball-attacking attacker, brings new scoring opportunities to the team.
But after Kalou came on the field, he was unable to open up the situation. After Mourinho stood on the sidelines and took a calm look at Endrit standing in front of the goal, he gritted his teeth and replaced the midfielder Mikel and let the right Defender Belletti came on in his place, hoping the change would free up Michael into midfield.
When Belletti was warming up, Mourinho quickly told him, "After you come on the field, keep running, intercept the opponent, and try to disrupt the organization of the opponent's midfield as much as possible. Your task is to disrupt the opponent's midfield. You don’t have to worry about things like leaking and conceding goals on the field. Endrit is here, and the opponent won’t score even if they get a chance.”
Belletti nodded hard and couldn’t hold back when he came on the field . He turned his head and glanced at Endrit in front of the goal. Thinking of Endrit's usual ferocious performance in the team, he was still a little worried and felt at ease instantly.
Yes, Endrit is here.
After Beredi came on, Michael was liberated to the midfielder position, but the situation on the field still failed to seize the opportunity to score another goal as Mourinho thought.
Mourinho set his sights on Malouda and Wright: In this game, Malouda frequently shot. The current Chelsea leading goal is the result of one of Malouda's frequent shots.
In this game, all of Wright's breakthrough passes failed to open up the situation. The closest thing to scoring so far was Drogba's aerial challenge.
At this moment, Mourinho clearly realized that the midfielder in the current lineup was weak, and a complete offensive system had not yet been established. At present, the team's scoring can only rely on the individual efforts of the players.
A personal effort... Mourinho turned to look at Endritt again, and then replaced Wright with Joe Cole.
"You," Mourinho didn't know what to say. After all, the game was about to end. Now that Joe Cole came on the court, he was just thinking about whether he could find a good team lineup as soon as possible. "After you come on the field, control After getting the ball, keep the ball. "
Forget it, let's increase the time of possession first and see what changes happen.
As head coach, Mourinho is very busy in this game. His busy work confuses Portsmouth coach Redknapp, who is obviously one goal behind: Portsmouth's crushing attitude towards Chelsea on the pitch made the latter believe that Portsmouth was Mouth's goal came not long after.
Maybe it's this ball, it's this ball, it's this ball... Damn it! Not coming in again!
Endrit jumped up and knocked the opposing forward Utaka away from John Terry and took a blast into his arms. At the same time, he received a comment from Utaka and Redknapp in unison: Another *** Didn't make it!
Endrit's system did not support him in hearing other people's hearts, but when he saw the unhappy face of the opposing forward, he knew that he had once again brought some small impact to the opposing forward.
But it wasn't a big problem, after all, he didn't even remember the name of the last striker who twisted his face in front of him.
A few minutes later, Portsmouth's Hredason's header went straight to the goal. Endrit and Ashley ran at the same time. The latter saved the football on the goal line, but Endrit saved it from the lawn. After pulling up, I only got a thumbs up.
"It's 200 pounds," Endritt said with a smile: "You can't cheat."
Ashley patted Endritt angrily, "Hey!"
...
This is the closest the Portsmouth team has come to scoring a goal. After one attack, several players on the opposite side deceived and shot the football high when they attacked again. If Cech is here, these shots will be useless.
But the Endrit people were timid and didn't dare to gamble, so these attacks from the opposite side also defrauded Endrit of some of his physical strength.
But that was all. As the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Portsmouth, which had full possession of shots, corner kicks, etc., once again lost gloriously to Chelsea.
After returning to Portsmouth that day, head coach Preknapp stared at the newspaper on his desk for a few seconds, then picked it up and threw it to the ground: "What a shame. Mourinho!"
"What's wrong with the Portuguese? Are I pitiful?"
Preknapp thought that after today's game, there would be no clueless media in the newspapers tomorrow. No more reporting on the poor Portuguese, but when he picked up the new newspaper the next day, he found that he was not well.
"The Sun": Poor Mourinho can only win the game by hugging his thigh.
[In today's game, the poor Portuguese looked back at Ritter frequently and prayed silently in his heart...]
Preknapp silently crumpled the newspaper into a ball and threw it in the trash can, thinking that this broken newspaper would be used for No one is wiping their butts.
Pitiful? Can you give him this pity? He also wants to show mercy!
