Chapter 180 Mourinho's Oath
After the warm-up match, Mourinho appeared at the press conference, but left directly, leaving a group of reporters looking at each other in bewilderment.
They may have cursed the Portuguese man to death in their hearts, but this would not change anything. If they wanted to get more news, they could only point the microphone at Wigan Athletic's coach Jeville.
"We were a little too arrogant. In this game, Chelsea gave the players a heavy blow with their performance! I hope that after this game, the boys can cheer up again. After all, we are in the Championship, not the Premier League. Now, our competitors in the league will not make us play so passively."
“Although we lost the game by a large margin, I am still confident that I can lead the team to the Premier League in the new season. This is not only my dream, but also the dream of Wigan fans for decades. They have been looking forward to this moment.”
Javier seemed to enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by so many media. He started to chatter non-stop, and what he wanted to express in his words was that he was very confident about the team's current state. He did not feel depressed because of the big defeat. However... the reporters in the audience did not care at all about Wigan Athletic. A team like Wigan Athletic could not attract the interest of fans at all. The topic they cared about was of course Chelsea!
"This game is the first game after Chelsea's major player adjustments. What do you think of its strength? Do you think Chelsea has a chance to win the Premier League title this year?" A reporter interrupted Javier and asked impatiently.
Jevil thought for a moment and said, "They are very strong. I think the strength that Chelsea showed today is definitely the best in the world. As long as they can maintain this state, the Premier League championship will be just around the corner." After that, he stood up and prepared to leave, leaving only a sentence, "I'm sorry, the team has other things to deal with."
Jewell is definitely not stupid! He will not leave any excuses in front of these reporters. His words can be simply summarized as follows: Chelsea is strong (otherwise how could they beat us 8:1?), to win the championship, you need to play stably.
Now that the two protagonists have left, these reporters can only disperse on their own... However, no matter how arrogant Mourinho behaves, it cannot change the fact that Chelsea won a big victory in the warm-up match.
These media who were looked down upon could only swallow their anger silently, keep quiet, and be ready to give a fatal counterattack when Chelsea performed poorly! But that was a matter for the future. The most urgent thing was that they had to pick up paper and write some flattering articles against their will to express their "expectations" for Chelsea's performance in the new season... Probably except for the reporters who really supported Chelsea, other media had no sincerity at all, especially the media of Manchester United and Arsenal. They wished that Chelsea would keep losing in the league and fall into the abyss, so that they would have one less powerful competitor on their way to winning the championship.
As for that Portuguese guy? He better pack up and go home!
The English media have always stubbornly believed that when it comes to football, only the English can do the best.
However, the media's "complaints" about Chelsea's head coach did not affect Wang Li at all. In the warm-up match, he scored a hat trick within 40 minutes. With this magical performance, he once again won unanimous praise from the media!
The Times: "The dancing master once again performed a magical scene, and a hat trick created the beginning of the new season!"
"Yesterday, at Wigan Athletic's JJB Stadium in Wigan City, in the match between Wigan Athletic and Chelsea, young player Alan Wang once again demonstrated his extraordinary goal efficiency. In just 40 minutes, he scored a hat trick that shocked the whole audience! After winning the top scorer in the European Cup, Alan Wang is still in great form. Let us wait and see what heights this 17-year-old boy can reach!"
Daily Telegraph: "Who can stop him from scoring goals?"
"...We don't know how he has such strength at this age, but it is undeniable that Alan Wang is definitely the most outstanding talent in England at the beginning of this century! Extraordinary dribbling ability, eye-catching football skills, powerful long-range shots, etc. His performance always shocks us time and time again. Who can stop him from scoring?..."
These most influential newspapers and magazines in England all praised Wang Li's performance. Perhaps these gentlemen in everyday life like to hear this kind of report the most, which can make them look forward to the future of English football and make up for the trauma in their hearts.
In England, a country with a strong sense of self-esteem, as the originator of modern football, it has only won the World Cup once in its hundred-year history. In the Premier League, which has become the world's number one league, most of the stars are foreigners. All of this is simply unacceptable to these English gentlemen.
Therefore, in the field of football, the media always pursue the stars of their own country, and only specialized regional newspapers will report on foreign stars. In the eyes of most fans, no matter how well the players from other countries perform, it has nothing to do with themselves.
This may be a cultural inheritance, but can it also be understood as a pathological mentality?
…………Today is really a day worth celebrating, because Angela has agreed to move into Wang Li’s new home. What’s even more gratifying is that Angela’s “tail-chaser”, the very gentlemanly butler, Angela’s so-called “Uncle Cole”, is still far away in the United States and cannot interfere with their world of two at all.
So Wang Li was particularly happy. After the training, he ignored Bridget's "bar invitation" and went straight back to his residence.
At this time, Wang Li was carrying large and small bags on his back, happily moving the luggage to the villa again and again.
Maybe, in the next month, they will spend every night together? ? ...Of course, this is just Wang Li's unilateral idea.
Wang Li, who was a little depressed about emotions, always fantasized about "that moment". Thinking that moment was coming, Wang Li was very excited. Without thinking twice, he unconditionally agreed to the n+1 unequal treaties proposed by Angela.
However, Wang Li's mentality fell to the bottom again after Angela said, "I want to live in the next room."
"What?"
"I said, I want to live in the next room!" Angela repeated it again with a pout, and a kind of gloating application seemed to flash across her face.
"You don't live with me?"
"What are you thinking about? If you're not welcome, I'll leave!" Angela blushed and stretched out her little hand, twisting Wang Li's ribs hard.
"Ouch!!... Okay... No problem... Okay!"
"As long as you live in your own home, there will always be opportunities." After struggling for a while, Wang Li calmly accepted this fact.
"Why don't you go cook? I'm hungry. Also, help me wash all the dirty clothes in my backpack!"
"Oh well!"
Wang Li nodded helplessly and prepared to go to "work". These were just one of the "unequal treaties" he accepted, but in fact, Wang Li didn't know how to cook at all... I really didn't know how he would cope with this evening.
Maybe now, Rita's figure would appear in his mind. If Angela was replaced by that woman, she would probably help him accomplish these things.
…………Just when Wang Li was suffering from happiness, the head coach Mourinho of Chelsea Club also had the same feeling.
What made him happy was Wang Li’s excellence, and what made him hesitant was also Wang Li’s excellence.
In Wolverhampton, Dave Jones was racking his brains to find the most suitable position for Wang Li, and England coach Eriksson also put a lot of thought into it. Now, it is the turn of the arrogant Mr. Mourinho.
Mourinho's preferred formation is the conservative 433 formation. In his opinion, center forward Drogba must be at the forefront of the team's offense.
And in the last game, Wang Li's performance gave him more ideas: it has been proven that the position of shadow striker is obviously very suitable for Wang Li.
But in Mourinho's tactics, there is no such position at all. If he is simply arranged as a left or right full-back, his talent will be buried. This is really a happy trouble.
However, the battle in the Premier League is about to reignite, and it is impossible for him to temporarily change tactics for Wang Li.
In the first round of the Premier League, Chelsea faced Birmingham, a team that Mourinho considered a lamb to be slaughtered. Facing such an opponent, Chelsea could only win to satisfy the chairman who was spending the pound.
What do the media think?
That has nothing to do with Mourinho!
Although he said so, in fact, in the heart of this "madman", he still cares about the media's opinion. Before the start of this season, many media outlets were mocking Chelsea, mocking this club with only pounds.
Can this also be understood as a kind of 'jealousy'?
Indeed, while Chelsea was spending money recklessly across Europe, many Premier League clubs were tightening their belts and living a tighter life. However, the little transfer fees they managed to save were not received by them because of Chelsea's massive purchase of players, which led to a general increase in the value of the players. How could they feel good about Chelsea?
Besides, Chelsea is not a wealthy club worthy of respect. In the eyes of the English media, they are just "nouveau riche". No matter how rich such nouveau riche are, it is difficult for them to get the recognition of real superstars, such as Shevchenko, the nuclear warhead of AC Milan.
Therefore, throughout the month of July, the media's reports and comments on Chelsea were basically all negative, which made the Portuguese with a strong self-esteem have no good feelings towards reporters. So, he publicly stated with a bad temper that he "rejected all media interviews."
In his heart, he just wants to use results to explain everything!
You all say Chelsea will fail in the new season?
Well, I will use my results to explain everything. When the time comes, I will slap you hard in the face to release the anger in my heart! !
This is what Mourinho has in mind!!
This Portuguese 'madman' is always proud! !
