Chapter 618 FA Cup Final
There are 20 teams in the Premier League, each team has 38 league rounds in each season, and the first 37 rounds have all ended, which means that only the last round is left.

When the final round of each season is reached, a series of words such as competition for Champions League places, UEFA Cup places, Intertoto Cup places, relegation... will always appear on the headlines of major newspapers.

In order to ensure the fairness of the Premier League, the last round of the league kicks off at the same time.

British local time on May 5 at three o'clock in the afternoon, which is 11:11 p.m. BJ time, this time period is just suitable for the schedule of Chinese football fans.

According to Mourinho's idea, the main players have a good rest in the last round of the league, and then prepare for the FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium five days later, and prepare for the Champions League final on May 5 by the way.

In other words, Mourinho has already made sufficient preparations and plans for the second Champions League final in his life.

But in this case, Aiello still started.

Because the player Mourinho relies on most now is Aiello, and the team basically won the games with him, and... there is another reason that if Chelsea wins this game, then they will tie the record of 49 unbeaten league games created by Wenger and Arsenal!

穆里尼奥切尔西从2006-2007赛季第27轮0：1不敌曼联开始，一直到本赛季的第37轮联赛，总共48场联赛保持了不败，如果这场比赛再次保持不败的话，那么切尔西将追平2003-2004赛季的阿森纳不败夺冠，同时也可以追平阿森纳跨赛季的49轮联赛不败。

Although Mourinho always said that he didn't care about the record, but when the record was approaching, no one would refuse, especially the hottest young marshal in Europe at present!
In addition, the last round of the league is a away home game, and Mourinho has no reason to let the team lose at home, and after the game, the Football Association will hold a simple awards ceremony, and they will award Chelsea the Premier League championship trophy for the 2007-2008 season-the Barclays Trophy.

In the final round of the league, Chelsea's starting lineup only had two absolute main players, Aiello and Lampard. The rest of the positions were players who rarely played in the league and members from the reserve team and youth team.

But this lineup is enough to defeat Bolton, who have no desires and desires this season. In the end, with Aiello and Lampard scoring a goal in the first and second halves, they beat Bolton 2-0 at home, thus improving the league record to 33 wins, 5 draws and 0 losses. The points also reached 104 points!The league points record refreshed in the previous round was raised by three points again.

Aiello's personal scoring record this season has also reached its peak, contributing 43 goals in a single season in the league, leading the No.2 scorer list Cristiano Ronaldo with 8 goals and winning the Premier League Golden Boot and the European Golden Boot this season.

But at this time, no one paid attention to the so-called records, because they all focused on the regained league championship.

As soon as the game ended, all Chelsea players surrounded Ai Luo with malicious intentions. They all knew... Chelsea's achievements this season are inseparable from this man.

"Ya Butterfly..." Not long after, there was a miserable cry for help.

The staff of the Premier League Organizing Committee were very efficient. In a short while, they simply set up a temporary podium in the middle of the stadium, and the Chelsea players also made a fuss and finished wearing the team's championship commemorative jersey. This is the fourth Premier League trophy in Chelsea's history, and it is also the third league championship trophy in Mourinho's four years of coaching Chelsea.

It is worth mentioning that when Terry put the trophy in the trophy slot provided by the sponsor and prepared to take a photo, coach Mourinho took off the crown from the Barclays trophy and put it on Aiello's head.

CCTV Premier League commentator Zhan Jun was very excited when he saw this scene: "I really didn't expect that the serious Mourinho would take off the 'crown' from the trophy and put it on Aiello's head when the team won the championship trophy... However, this is also very reasonable. This season's league runner-up Manchester United is very tight. If it is not for Aiello's super performance throughout the season, it is still unknown whether Chelsea can win the league championship this season..."

As the team's biggest contributor to winning the championship, Ai Luo was once again besieged by his teammates after returning to the locker room. Champagne and beer were poured down on him for free.

The league is all over, which means that Chelsea won two of the four trophies in the 2007-2008 season, leaving only the FA Cup final in five days and the Champions League final in ten days.

The opponent in the FA Cup final is Portsmouth, a weak opponent, but the FA Cup champion can directly participate in the main match of the UEFA Cup next season.

Maybe...you can make a fuss while Chelsea won the league championship. On the second day after Chelsea won the championship, he said in an interview with reporters very low-key: "Chelsea this season can be said to be a legendary existence, so the FA Cup championship is still very far away for us, but we will try our best..."

Then the reporter interviewed the former Chelsea veteran Glenn Johnson. His answer was not much different from that of the head coach Palin: "I stayed at Chelsea in the first half of the season, so I know the strength of this team very well. In addition, they have an all-powerful Ai. The FA Cup championship is still a bit far away for us..."

Therefore, most Chelsea teams are full of confidence in the FA Cup championship!

As one of the two teams in the Champions League final this season, how could it be impossible to even deal with the domestic scumbags?
Soon, the contempt of the players was reflected in the training before the FA Cup final, even Aiello.

All this was seen by Mourinho.

Perhaps relying on the strength of the team will be a bit troublesome at the beginning, but as the game progresses, the players' state will definitely slowly improve, but if this mentality continues until the Champions League final, it will be troublesome. Manchester United is not a kind person.

But... If you warn directly, the players will definitely not take it seriously, and it may affect the morale of the team, so I have to wait until the FA Cup final to make plans...

After Mourinho thought it through, his brows also relaxed.

2007-2008赛季英格兰足总杯决赛在英国当地时间5月16号的下午04:30于新温布利大球场正式开球。

As early as three months ago, Chelsea defeated city rivals Tottenham Hotspur to win the League Cup on this venue, and three months later they came to the new Wembley Stadium to start another championship battle-the FA Cup final.

Before the FA Cup final, the vast majority of fans and media in England were very optimistic about Chelsea’s prospects of winning the championship, because their strength from the beginning of the season was the top in Europe. Portsmouth can only be regarded as a team barely relegation in the Premier League. How can it be compared to Chelsea, the domestic double champion?
But the game was actually surprising. At the end of the first half, it was Portsmouth, which was not optimistic, leading by 2:0!

Chelsea would have trailed Portsmouth 42-3 at the new Wembley Stadium had Kanu not hit the crossbar with his foot in the 0nd minute.

"Chelsea, who have already won the Premier League title, obviously underestimated their opponents in the FA Cup final. That's why they fell behind by two goals in the first half. Even their top scorer Ai also had problems. You must know that they will play this season's Champions League final at the Luzhniki Stadium in six days. If they continue in their current state, they will definitely not be able to beat the Red Devils Manchester United!"

BBC commentator Lineker mercilessly criticized Chelsea's performance in the first half.

Other commentators also kept criticizing Chelsea's performance in the first half at this moment. In the words of Andy Gray: "Their performance in the first half was their worst performance this season!"

The Chelsea dressing room was surprisingly quiet, no one dared to speak.

"Why don't you talk? Aren't you very happy these days? You can handle the training casually, do you really think you are invincible? Do you think that winning the Premier League and League Cup can guarantee the FA Cup? Let me tell you! This is impossible! Champions are created by your own feet!"

Mourinho closed the locker room door and immediately turned on the curse mode.

“你看看你们上半场踢的是什么狗-屎？控球率39·4%，传球245脚，失误20次！这是你们交出来的数据！！你们庆幸的是对手是朴茨茅斯而不是阿森纳、曼联、利物浦，否则你们现在就不是2：0而是3：0、4：0甚至更多！！！”

……

Mourinho had been roaring for almost five minutes before he stopped.

At the same time, he also found that he had received a report on his dedication during this period. The team members were no longer depressed like they were when they entered the locker room before, but adjusted their mentality. They looked... high-spirited!
Seeing this, Mourinho nodded in satisfaction before starting the tactical explanation for the second half.

In the second half, Portsmouth head coach Palin had a good prediction on Chelsea's tactics in the second half, but...Chelsea's offense was more violent than he expected. Aiello, who was basically lost in Glenn Johnson's defense in the first half, was very active at the beginning, and Glenn Johnson couldn't find the North.

"Oh! It's so exciting!! This is the Ai in our impression! Make a sudden stop to accelerate, and then make a sudden stop... cut inside? No! Hit the ball with your heel!! Shot? No! Fake move!!! Entering the penalty area!! Fell down, Ai fell down!! Penalty...The referee Dunn awarded Chelsea a penalty!!"

With the wonderful performance in the camera, Lineker also became active again!
