Chapter 201 Distinguish
After the start of Arsenal was announced, the players ended the last training session before preparation. At the professor's instructions, a group of players went to the base cafeteria to have a meal, and the chef prepared a series of energy-replenishing diets for them.
When the Gunners finished their meal and rested at their own training base, the Blues at Chelsea training base had already set off, and the blue bus drove out from their own streets and then appeared after a turn at the end of the road leading to Stamford Bridge.
On both sides of the street, there were Chelsea fans waving their hands excitedly and cheering at their team.
However, it is surprising that no one responded to the fans' calls, whether it was Mourinho sitting quietly in the first row with his hands and the serious players behind him.
The reason is actually very simple. This morning, Mourinho was furious at the training base at the state of the team's main players. He believed that many people did not meet their standards.
This unreasonable anger is because in the short week of preparing for Arsenal, three Chelsea players have suffered injuries and cannot play, namely Torres, Ashley Cole and defender Van Jinkele.
Among the three players, two of them are the main players of the team's iron-kicked play, and Mourinho cannot help but be irritated.
When several main players in training were scolded by him in blood, Mourinho made huge changes when he announced the starting list before setting off.
In this game, he, like Wenger, lined up a 442 formation. With Torres' injury and Etoo's condition sluggish, he directly activated two young forwards, Shrerle and Dembaba.
In the midfield, Hazard, Oscar, Matic and Ramirez became the starting midfield combination of this game. The team's midfield core and captain Lampard were directly pressed on the bench by Muniao.
Fortunately, Lampard did not show any dissatisfaction. As a player who once created the first-stage glory of Mourinho under Mourinho, Lampard still trusts him very much.
In the starting four defenders, Gary Cahill, Azpilicueta, Ivanovic and Karas formed the Blues' defense line. Terry, who had previously shined on the Blues' back line, failed to appear on the starting line.
As for the goalkeeper position, Chelsea is the most stable, with helmet goalkeeper Cech once again becoming the team's starting goalkeeper.
Such a starting list has put several stable main players on the bench on the team. It can be seen that Mourinho was so angry this morning that he was eager to win and no longer considered any stability.
After a starting lineup like this, the team's midfield and frontcourt were all young players with strong impact and no idea what to give in.
Even Mourinho did not continue to emphasize defensive counterattacks, and he continued to practice the offensive cooperation of the players, holding his breath to win Arsenal at home with a goal.
Shortly after Chelsea players arrived at Stamford Bridge, Arsenal's bus departed from their own training base.
Compared to Chelsea, the Arsenal players talked and laughed along the way and even felt in the mood to open the car window and waved to everyone as they were about to leave the farewell street composed of their fans.
This is the pre-match atmosphere that the professor highly advocates, because it can greatly relieve the team's tension.
In his opinion, the hair dryers and cold violence of Ferguson and Mourinho are not desirable. Although their approach can also make the players focus on the game, but over time, there will definitely be problems with the team atmosphere.
Ferguson is fine. As a respected godfather coach, the players have to endure some dissatisfaction. The club can even drive away the thorny players for him, such as the once famous Beckham shoe throwing incident.
But Mourinho is not like this. He has no qualifications and the protection of the club. After he has had a breakup with the players, he can only stay there. It’s okay for one or two seasons, but he will inevitably be swept out after a long time.
Have you seen how powerful Mourinho's first phase Chelsea is, in the end, she was driven away in a mess.
The most suitable way to deal with the professor is actually the most suitable. Many Arsenal players will thank the professor for their teachings in an interview long after leaving Arsenal, because his patience and encouragement are really very similar to the growth of young players.
Less gossip. When the Gunners bus officially entered the Chelsea fan zone, the Blues fans who were prepared had a more intense and fierce voice than welcoming their own teams.
“XXX!”
“FXXX!”
All kinds of kind greetings will inevitably turn into familiar beeps after being played. It can be seen how much Chelsea fans hate this team that has defeated their team several times, won the Champions League and the league championship.
The Gunners' response was very simple, and they directly brought earbuds.
The roar turned into a buzzing sound, and the red and white bus drove smoothly into the blue Stamford Bridge, and Arsenal officially entered the state of combat readiness.
...
"You can see that both teams have started to warm up on the court. Compared to Arsenal, which has no injuries on the team, three Chelsea players are absent due to injuries."
After a short period of time, both teams had appeared in Stamford Bridge and began to warm up. Liu Jianhong and Zhan Jun also talked about the game as the broadcast signal was connected in advance.
"Yes, this is quite bad news for the Blues, but there are still many players with great strength in their team. As long as Mourinho arranges the team properly, they will not be much weaker than Arsenal."
The two commentators chatted, and the camera kept sweeping over the faces of the players who were warming up on the field. While training, the players on both sides kept looking at the opponent's halftime, and they could clearly feel the fighting spirit and hostility of both sides.
The several matches between the two sides this season were extremely thrilling and twists and turns. Never, any game that team defeated the opponent without any suspense.
In this case, they are both top players and star-level figures. Both sides want to completely distinguish between the top and bottom.
For example, Chelsea's undisputed young player Hazard has turned his hot eyes to Liu Feng more than once. He has performed very well in the past few fights, but he is always covered by Liu Feng. This time, his determination to overwhelm Liu Feng is unprecedentedly strong.
