Chapter 095 Anfield 1

It is not only Manchester City's head coach Mark who was affected by Scolari's class. Hughes, as the hype of this matter intensified, the influence became greater and greater.

The Times used it on the front page of February 20, "Scolari is out of class, and the Chelsea crisis has just begun!" Such a headline to report.

"It's not too unexpected for Scolari to finish class. After all, in terms of achievements alone, he is indeed the worst helm in the Abu era. Even the madman who won multiple championships and Grant, who led the team to the runner-up, are not spared. What's more, Chelsea may not even know the league championship now.

Abu is not short of money. In order to play the game of football, he is never afraid of being a wrongdoer and spends a huge amount of salary to speculate. If a team's performance is not good, the first to be unlucky is the head coach. But the problem is that if the change of coach can have a real effect, it is naturally a wonderful move. However, Chelsea now looks like it is in crisis. In fact, this has started since the madman finished class.

When he first arrived, he won several heavy trophies for Chelsea. The madman did not make great contributions, but Abu was still not satisfied, so he replaced the former with Grant. However, everyone knows that Grant is just a transition.

Impatientness is a major feature of Abu. But the facts have long proved that it is obviously impossible to be eager for quick success. Abu should think that Ferguson has ruled Manchester United for more than 20 years, during which there have been a trough, and Wenger, Benitez and others are typical of long-term coaching. Changing the coach is definitely a double-edged sword. If it is not handled properly, it can only be self-defeating. The frequent change of head coach is not a good thing for the long-term development of a team.

It is certainly an honor for the head coach to be in charge of a luxury warship like today's Chelsea, but Abu's paranoia is likely to hurt those masters who vowed to build the championship. Mourinho was so arrogant that people believed that he had absolute authority in the team. It was not until one day that he was suddenly declared unemployed that the public found that he had been fooled again. That's why the madman began to expose his shortcomings after he left: in fact, in Chelsea, the head coach is just the boss's puppet, and he can't take charge of many things at all. It may be a little exaggerated to say that Abu doesn't understand football, but at least he can't know more than the head coach. He can't say that he knows more about the players the team needs and doesn't need. At that time, Sheva almost became a major catalyst for the contradiction between Abu and the madman. The later situation also proved that Chelsea did not need such a sky-high substitute at all. As the owner of a team, it is obviously unreasonable to buy people according to your own preferences. It's a bit like the old Moratti.

It goes without saying how big the gap between Chelsea and the Madman era is now. The fifth in the league and behind Manchester City, such a ranking is exaggerated enough. In such a crisis, Abu still chose not to give Scolari more time.

Can you really solve the problem by changing the head coach? I'm afraid it's difficult. The current situation seems to show that Hiddink is a hot candidate. The Dutch coach can definitely be called a master, and he can also be said to have a special relationship with Abu. Scolari's successor may be him. However, don't forget that Scolari is still the one who won the World Cup. Let alone whether Hiddink, who is also a coach of the national team, can also be comfortable in the club. Who can guarantee that Abu will not turn against others one day?

The glory of the madman era has become a thing of the past. As long as Abu will continue to intervene in the team, Chelsea's crisis will be difficult to solve for a period of time. Staying away from the league championship may be just a clue to the Blues' crisis.

Changing the head coach may not be a good way to get an immediate effect.

However, we can give Mr. Abramovich a constructive suggestion here, that is, to buy a player!

Who should I buy?

Of course, it's Manchester City's No. 10!

Look at what Zhang Yang brought to this team after he came to Manchester City, and you will know how rare and precious such a player is! With publicity, Mark. Hughes can bring Manchester City to the fourth place in the league, even at the top of the league, and what kind of height can Chelsea reach with the publicity? Just think about it.

Of course, for Mr. Abramovich, the biggest problem now is that the Arab boss of Manchester City has even more financial resources than him. It is too difficult to dig from Manchester City... The only possibility is that there is an offer that is difficult for Arabs who are not short of money to refuse..."

In this report, The Times criticized the Russian boss of Chelsea and ridiculed Manchester City's head coach Mark. Hughes suddenly changed the topic at the end, and Zhang Yang suddenly got involved with Chelsea.

This seems to be an analytical report, but it immediately caused a discussion in English football. Is the role of the player more important than the role of the head coach? What's more, is this just the Times' suggestion, or is it true? Will Chelsea really pursue publicity with unimaginable quotations?

In today's football world, nothing can attract the attention of the media and fans more than the transfer of superstars.

Although Zhang Yang has only been to Manchester City for a season, and Zhang Yang has repeatedly said that he has a goal and wake-up in Manchester City. This goal and dream make it impossible for Zhang Yang to transfer to Manchester City in a short time.

However, although Zhang Yang said 10,000 times that he was very happy in Manchester City, the hype and rumors about Zhang Yang's possible departure from Manchester City have never stopped.

Why is it like this?

No one! In everyone's eyes, Zhang Yang and Manchester City really don't match, even now Manchester City has entered the top four in the league under the leadership of Zhang Yang!

This is like a loser marrying a beautiful princess. At the moment they got together, people have been wondering when the princess will leave the loser and pursue her pearls and gems!

After the report of The Times, the Manchester City Club reacted quite quickly. In the afternoon of the same day, the official spokesman of the club said that Zhang Yang would have a great legend in Manchester City!

This is not made clear, but Manchester City's sovereignty over publicity has been declared. Since it is a legend, how can it be possible to leave?!

In fact, after signing Zhang Yang, the senior management of Manchester City have been worried about it in addition to being happy. Of course, they know the mismatch between Manchester City and Zhang Yang, and they will worry that all kinds of heroes will poach!

This situation has always existed now, and it will not be less in the future. On the contrary, it will become more and more serious. Whether Zhang Yang can get good results in Manchester City. If it is difficult for him to meet his expectations in the future of Manchester City, other rich families will definitely persuade Zhang Yang to transfer, and if Zhang Yang can still help Manchester City achieve great achievements, there will be more people poaching. Imagine that they can succeed in Manchester City, not to mention the rich families gathered by masters. !

Let's return to the focus match between Manchester City and Liverpool for the time being.

Benitez is a master of tactics.

On this point, there has been a consensus of football for a long time.

Benitez has made a fortune in La Liga, and his road to fame is perfect. Since 2000, La Liga has broken the rule of Real Madrid and Barcelona for only two seasons (not counting the super Laco in 2000). A Benitez, who led the promotion of La Liga to Valencia, realized these two ice-breaking roads in 2002 and 2004!

Valencia won the UEFA Cup in 2004, and then Benitez came to Liverpool. In his first season in Liverpool, he helped Liverpool win the Champions League.

When it comes to Rafa Benitez, we still need to talk about the magical reversal of Liverpool on the night of Istanbul on May 25, 2005. Bei Shuai has never been an inspiring master, but after playing three times and two times on the blackboard, he let the Red Army change his bones in the subsequent game. Liverpool, who attacked hard, turned the situation around in 15 minutes and sent Benitez to the palace of the master of tactics.

In the 04-05 season, Benitez's Liverpool set sail in Europe, knocking out Juventus in the quarter-finals, defeating Chelsea in the semi-finals, and reversing AC Milan to win the championship in the final. In the 06-07 season, Liverpool won the runner-up, and everyone remembers the feat of Liverpool's elimination of Barcelona and Chelsea.

It can be said that in Liverpool, the name of Benitez's tactical master began to reverberates in Europe.

In the Liverpool period, he met the invincible Mourinho, but Liverpool in that era was always the contender for the championship and showed the temperament of a strong team. Two UEFA Champions League finals and one successful cup, such a European record can only be achieved by Liverpool in the 84 and 85 golden era in history.

It is precisely because Benitez brings the expectation of winning to Liverpool that Benitez also faces a higher goal, which is to win the championship! Not winning the championship is a failure!

Liverpool's performance this season is quite eye-catching, which also makes Liverpool's media extremely excited. Phillips, a reporter who has been reporting on Liverpool for 20 years with the team, said in his column, "Look at Liverpool's current performance and their performance this season. I seem to have smelled the Premier League championship. The taste of the trophy..."

Now, Liverpool ranks second in the table, and they are only one point less than Manchester United. The difference of one point also means that the competition for the league championship will be quite fierce.

For Liverpool, every game is a decisive battle. In the face of Ferguson's Manchester United competition, Liverpool must maintain consistency, which is also Liverpool's most lacking.

In this round of the league, Manchester United played against Blackburn at home. In the face of the weak team, Manchester United is almost considered to have locked three points.

This also means that if Liverpool doesn't want to be narrowed by Manchester United, they must win Manchester City at home.

It was not difficult to win Manchester City at home at Anfield in the past, but now, no one in the Liverpool team dares to say that they can guarantee to win the game!

Because Manchester City has publicity!

For Liverpool, how to limit Zhang Yang's performance is undoubtedly Benitez' most important job now.

However, after watching the video of the shocking 5-5 match between the two sides this season, as well as the video of Manchester City's recent games, Benitez has watched it at least ten times, and he still can't find a safe and feasible way to limit publicity.

The crazy performance of the Chinese shooter made the tactical master helpless.

"Forget it, try to use two players to get stuck in his position." After thinking about it all night, there was no result, Rafa. Benitez can only comfort himself like this.

The question of 'how to limit publicity' troubled almost all the head coaches who played against Manchester City. Ferguson and Wenger were at a loss for the time being. Arsenal were even slaughtered by Manchester City six to two, and Manchester United was killed by Manchester City. In the first season of the Premier League, Zhang Yang stepped on the corpses of these rich families and famous coaches and led Manchester City to a bloody road. It was said that it was a little too much for the world's attention, but at least it shocked the English football world and shocked the European continent!

Ferguson and Wenger have no choice but to show off, and Benitez has no way for the time being.
