Volume 1: Playing football with me will break your legs Chapter 96: You still have one hundred years to go!
"Obviously, my words have been distorted by the media and I have great respect for the history and honour of Wimbledon."
At the pre-match press conference, Mourinho showed the demeanor of a football boss.
After all, his opponents are not top coaches like Ferguson, Wenger and Guardiola, so he still has to save face to some extent.
He earns the second-highest annual salary in the world, over 10 million. It's impossible for him to be as down-to-earth as Adre, , right?
"There is no doubt that this is a decisive battle between spear and shield. Wimbledon will face the siege of the most powerful offensive cluster in the Premier League. If I were not the coach of Chelsea, I would definitely be worried about Wimbledon."
Mourinho smiled:
"I know that Wimbledon gave the main players more than 10 days of rest for this final, but unfortunately, this victory and this trophy are mine!"
He was accompanied by Chelsea captain John Terry, who also had a firm attitude:
"I've heard that Wimbledon have some great players, like their young defender, but I don't mind showing him why he's stuck in the fourth tier!"
…
After Chelsea left the field, Li Polo followed Adre and sat up.
Without waiting for the head coach to speak, he turned on the microphone in front of him:
"I'm a little flattered to be named by Mr Terry. However, I don't expect him to have any outstanding performance tomorrow."
Adley quickly glared at him, fearing that this young man might cause more trouble.
But the more than 100 media reporters at the scene were already excited:
"Let him speak!"
"Let him speak!"
[Negative emotions from Neil Adley, +2! ]
Li Polo took out his phone and took a look at the starting lineups of both teams:
"If my eyes are not deceiving me, Chelsea's starting 11 is a 433 formation, and among their three midfielders, they are all talented offensive players. Oh, maybe only Ramirez has a little defensive attribute. Do you understand what I mean? Dear Mr. Mourinho, he is too arrogant. He must believe that these talented offensive players are enough to destroy Wimbledon's defense. But what if I tell him that Chelsea may not even score a goal tomorrow?"
The reporters in the audience couldn't help but get agitated:
"You have such confidence? They have the most luxurious offensive combination in the Premier League!"
Li Polo shrugged his shoulders:
"That's right, that's right. The more luxurious their offensive combination is, the more miserably they will lose!"
…
Mourinho, who soon heard the news, sneered at such provocation:
"You want to play psychological warfare with me? You're still 100 years away!"
"When I caused Wenger to have a mental breakdown, were you still in kindergarten?"
Then he was stunned for a moment and fell into his own thoughts.
[Fabregas is no longer in his peak form, and Oscar has thin arms and legs. Isn't it enough to rely on Ramirez alone?
The three midfielders...seem to be really bad at defensive toughness!
Otherwise, temporarily replace him with a defensive midfielder? 】
He, who had always been decisive in killing, suddenly became a little hesitant.
Li Polo, who was still talking to the camera, immediately received a prompt:
[Negative emotions from Jose Mourinho, +2! ]

Sunday, March 1, 2015.
3:50 p.m. local time in London.
23:50 late at night in District 8 East.
Gary Lineker, a veteran host of the British BBC, once again appeared on the TV screen:
"This is Wembley Stadium, the temple of English football. We have about 10 minutes left to chat. Let's first talk about your views on the two participating teams. Who do you think has a higher chance of winning?"
Appearing in the media box with him were his old enemies Neville and Carragher.
Neville shrugged.
"Oh, God, you don't really mean to ask that."
Carragher laughed:
"Then I support Wimbledon."
Neville rolled his eyes at him:
"Have you forgotten how badly they beat Liverpool in the FA Cup?"
Carragher didn't take it to heart:
"They won the game with their performance on the pitch. As a former professional player, I can only applaud and sing praises for them. In this regard, I am much more magnanimous than some of Manchester United's old captains!"
Neville was so angry that he laughed:
"Then... let's wait and see!"
…
In the live broadcast room of Sina Sports, Zhan Jun also opened the microphone next to his mouth:
"The League Cup, the standard name should be the English Football League Cup, is a competition between the 92 professional clubs in England. This cup was founded in 1962. It was originally set up by the professional league to challenge the FA Cup. However, after more than 50 years of development, it still failed to shake the status of the FA Cup in English football."
He first gave some scientific knowledge:
"Depending on the sponsor, the UEFA Cup has different names at different times, such as the earliest Milk Cup, Littlewoods Challenge Cup, Mbero Cup, Coca-Cola Cup, Worthington Cup, and Carlin Cup. Since 2012, they have accepted sponsorship from Capital One Group of the United States, so it can also be called the Capital One Cup."
After explaining the history of the event, he began to introduce the two participating teams:
"The two teams that took the field today have a huge disparity in strength, and this is the matchup with the biggest difference in level in the history of the League Cup final. One team is Chelsea from the Premier League, and the other team is the new Wimbledon from the fourth-level English League Two, nicknamed the 'Crazy Gang'. It is worth mentioning that the two teams are the leaders of their respective leagues. Chelsea... Actually, there is no need to say more. With the return of the Magic Bird to the Stade des Princes, the once invincible iron-blooded Blues have reassembled. After the running-in last season, they have shown strong dominance this season. They started the league with a strong record of 13 wins and 2 draws, firmly holding the top spot in the standings. However, the Magic Bird's ambition is not just to win the Premier League, he also wants to win the Champions League for the Blues! As for Wimbledon, it is also firmly ahead of its competitors. In the past period of time We have broadcast many Wimbledon matches. They have defeated many Premier League giants including Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham in the League Cup and FA Cup, and are a well-deserved super dark horse. I am personally impressed by the tactical play of this team, especially the two players in front and back. The front refers to their strongest striker in the universe, Akinfenwa, and the back refers to their central defender Li Polo. Especially the young Chinese player Li Polo, although he is only 1.81 meters tall, he is enough to compete with long-established Premier League stars such as Skrtel and Vertonghen in the fight for high balls. For example, in the previous semi-final, he made Tottenham's main striker Harry Kane and "Little Beast" Adebayor helpless. Today he will have the opportunity to face the real "Beast" Drogba. I wonder if different sparks will be created?"
About two minutes later, he turned slightly and asked the guest next to him:
"Zhang Zhi, what do you think of this game? Or do you think Mourinho will fail?"
Zhang Lu, a former professional goalkeeper and veteran commentator in Chinese football, looked at the information in his hand in silence for three seconds, then smiled:
"Hehe... In such a situation with such a huge disparity in strength, Chelsea has put all its main players out. With Mourinho's character, he will definitely not fail. The probability of Chelsea winning the championship is at least 99.99%."
But he changed the subject and made it round again:
"But... Wimbledon has knocked down so many strong teams along the way, so it's not impossible that they can go all the way. As a spectator who enjoys watching the fun, I want to see that one in ten thousand chance, to see if they can beat Chelsea with the weak. What's more... they have a Chinese player on the team, and I'm really looking forward to his performance, hehe."
