Chapter 497 Believe in yourself
Chelsea made a mistake!
They tied with Charlton!
After winning Sunderland in the last round, Chelsea has achieved a ten-game winning streak. This game was called 'impossible suspenseful game' by Mourinho before the game, because Chelsea has conceded zero goals against Charlton in the league in the past two years, but some media have questioned this because of this season's league. In the cup, Chelsea was eliminated by Charlton in the penalty kick.
In this game, Duff replaced Robben, who was banned, to enter the starting lineup, and Portuguese midfielder Maniche, who was transferred to the winter, entered the bench. Charlton, who lost four times in a row away from home, replaced Ballette's start with Angross and transferred from Everton to Marcus. Bent also entered the bench.
It is worth mentioning that Brazilian legendary superstar Pele came to Stamford Bridge Stadium to watch the game.
Bailey himself seemed to be as annoying as his big mouth. Before the game, he said that he would support Chelsea, watch Chelsea's game, and predicted that the game would be a battle without suspense, but when the game was over, he changed his words: "Chalton should not be underestimated..." He said so.
Charlton really can't be underestimated. After Chelsea took the lead, the whole team was working hard to equalize. Finally, before the end of the game, Angross passed the penalty area from the left in the front court. Cech stood forward and Marcus was successful against offside. Bent scored a header from 12 yards in front of the goal, leaving Chelsea completely losing the chance to win.
Chelsea was unexpectedly tied by Charlton one-to-one, and the record of home victory and previous 10 consecutive wins this season came to an end. However, after the game, the little 'shameless' Mourinho completely forgot what he said before the game. In addition to euphemistically criticizing the team's idea of underplaying the enemy, he said that a draw was not unacceptable. He It is even dialectical that this day will come sooner or later.
With Goodwinson's goal, Chelsea once took the lead, but the players played so laxly that they broke the good situation. We are not nervous enough," said Mourinho, who was dissatisfied with the team's downplay. "If we can fight as much as one less person in the second half, the result will be different. This game is not our normal performance." In the final stage of the first half, Chelsea's defense general Carvalho was sent off with a red card.
When talking about only getting 1 point at home, Mourinho said that this is one of the rules of football, and there is always a limit to winning streak.
"I'm not angry or depressed. I know what football is like. I know that I can't win all the games. This day will always come in front of a well-organized, well-defended and threatening opponent."
The end of the momentum of ten consecutive wins and home wins did not make Mourinho frustrated. Instead, he thought that if he looked at it from another perspective, one point was also a positive result. His words sounded like a bit of philosophy of life. "There will always be an end for good things. This day will come sooner or later, but if it comes to one In the month, you lost points at home. I think this is a great achievement. Of course, it feels bad that we didn't win at home, but we got another point and lost another round of the game. We took another step towards the championship, so in general, it's not too bad.
However, at the same time, Mourinho, as usual, attributed the matter to the referee. He first questioned Carvalho's red card and mocked the assistant referee who judged Crespo's offside twice.
"I have different opinions on the red card," Mourinho said solemnly, "In the past year and a half, we have not eaten a red card, because the team has strict discipline, they play fair, and the players are very clean, but in the past two games, Robben has not fouled but got a red card, and Carvalho has eaten it again today. One, in my opinion, it's either not a foul or a foul, but it shouldn't be given a card.
"Chalton fought very tenaciously. In addition, they were lucky to get great help from the assistant referee. We arranged someone to watch TV and immediately learned clearly that those times were not offside at all. Usually, in those cases, the player will get a single knife and have a great chance to break the door, but for such a judgment What can I do to punish me?" Mourinho refers to the two penalties in the 85th and 86th minutes of the second half. Goodensen and Manice's direct passes helped Crespo form a single knife, but they were both judged to be offside. From the slow-motion playback, both times were suspected of misjudgment.
In the end, Mourinho did not forget to satirize Newcastle United, the league's biggest competitor. "I thought it should be a fierce game, but it seems that they are very good at using fans to win. Blackburn is a tough team, but you know, there are only eleven players on the court, and there are tens of thousands of fans on the whole court.
Compared with Mourinho, Charlton coach Kubishli's words are more comfortable. After getting a point, Kubishli praised the player's fighting spirit, and he also defended Mourinho, saying that people always pay too much attention to Chelsea's financial resources and ignore the Portuguese's contribution.
"Forget about the money. Manchester United spent 30 million on Ferdinand and 25 million on Rooney. Arsenal spent a lot of money on Walkot and Reyes. Liverpool have spent a lot of money in recent years. We should start giving Mourinho enough respect. No matter who he buys, he can play a role immediately. Today's Manich. It seems that he is very used to it here. Don't always talk about money. Mourinho has done his job well.
"The peace is old!"
The Sun said that Kubishli is really not offended by this guy, but Newcastle will certainly not ignore Mourinho's provocation. After the game, Owen, who was recuperating, jumped out and accused Mourinho: "I think the Football League should punish him. He always says that others win with conspiracy, but he I've been carrying out some conspiracy!"
This sentence inspired the FA, and Chelsea immediately received a £20,000 fine.
Anyway, it is a happy thing that the team finally led Chelsea in league points. On that day, the team held a celebration party together, and Sones was also invited to participate. Taking advantage of the hard-won opportunity to relax, Don Jack and his teammates got drunk.
I haven't had such a good drink for a long time, which makes Jack Don also feel that it's good to have a few parties often. The main reason is that the league is so tense that they all need to relax.
But there is also a limit to relaxation...
Sones didn't expect any serious consequences of a party at all. In fact, it's not a big deal, that is, both Dahl and Taylor caught a cold the next day... Winter in England is not very good, especially in Newcastle, the most northern part of the country. In other seasons, the city is as beautiful as spring, attracting a lot of foreign tourists. However, February in Newcastle is cold and scary, and sometimes it is about zero at night. Such weather makes many people living in southern England very I got used to it. After drinking, everyone caught a cold.
The minor illness of the two made Sones anxious. He was at the most critical moment in the league, which was simply a fatal injury to the club.
Maybe Chelsea's wounded barracks are bigger than Newcastle, but Chelsea's foundation is thick, and the bench is full of capable people. Newcastle United can't compare. It can be said that there is no comparison between the two. As a result, Sones was worried about his gray hair before he formed the lineup against Manchester City.
The away challenge to Manchester City, which has just defeated Manchester United, is a difficult challenge for Newcastle United, which is full of wounded soldiers. At this moment, many English media are not optimistic about Newcastle United. In fact, Newcastle United has reached the point where no one can be sent. Except for Don Jack, the team's whole lineup, No player is trusted by Sones.
Real main players, such as Scott. Parker, Luke, Shearer, Owen, Jenas, Dyer... Wait, they are all injured, and the rest of the old, weak, sick and disabled... Only Jack Don is a young man... In fact, there are quite a lot of young men in the lineup, but most of them are Newcastle United reserve players, and several are youth team players. In the temporary patchwork lineup, even a substitute guard Don Jack can't name, which shows the miserable situation of Newcastle United.
The result is also miserable...
When the two teams stand on the Manchester Arena, I'm afraid no one believes that Newcastle United can win. Don Jack himself is not confident...
In the team, all his good partners are not present, and the midfielders are not familiar with them. Such a lineup is really scratching their heads, but there is nothing they can do. The league is to win. Newcastle United can't easily give Chelsea an advantage, which is a great pressure on the team.
Although everyone knows that this kind of pressure is not good for Newcastle United, no team or anyone can want to bury the hard-won advantage for the sake of pressure, and Don Jack is not willing to.
He has been working hard all the game!
Try to strive for opportunities and score goals, but the team's backcourt support is so poor that everything seems to depend on himself.
On the other hand, Manchester City is the opposite. Their lineup is better than Newcastle United. It is said that Manchester City's shares are being acquired by the Americans. Now they are very financially generous, and they have bought several new players in winter. There is no problem with Manchester City's lineup.
In comparison, Newcastle United has no advantage. Perhaps Don Jack is the team's only advantage.
The only... It doesn't mean there is no hope!
In the first half, Manchester United interpreted what a home advantage is for Newcastle United and Newcastle fans who came to challenge. Their intensive offensive Newcastle United could not raise their heads and scored two goals in a row in the 31st and 35 minutes of the first half, directly rewriting the score into Two to zero.
At halftime, Sones feels that the team has no hope...
However, Jack Don did not give up. He still believes in himself, believes that he can score goals, and believes that he can change the outcome of the game!
Everyone says that the football game is a sport of eleven people. Sometimes Don Jack also has a sense of helplessness on the court, but he hates the feeling that he can't change the game. What he pursues is to surpass everything in the football field. Can't one person dominate the game? Well, let me have a try!
When Soness comforted the players at halftime, Don Jack didn't listen at all. He kept thinking about Manchester City's defense and how he could score a goal. However, tactics and so on will hardly have any effect in the case of a large power gap. With Don Jack's tactical theory level, he naturally can't think of any good strategy to open Manchester City's defense. When he walked out of the locker room, Don Jack simply didn't want anything. All he knew was that he did his best after playing. Go and fight!
Believe in yourself, that's everything!
