Chapter 423 The New Era of the Premier League
Who is Mr. Matthew?

If you have watched "The Spring of the Cow Herding Class", then you will immediately recognize that he is the kind school supervisor in the movie.With his patience and love of music, he cultivated a group of naughty teenagers in a bad school into a choir that sang heavenly sounds.

Who is Arsene?

If you have watched the Premier League, then you will immediately recognize that he is the rigorous professor in the Premier League.With his care and love for football, he trained Arsenal to be the overlord of the Premier League who played gorgeous football.

On August 8, the focus of the Premier League battle was fixed at Stamford Bridge.Professor Wenger ushered in his 21th game after coaching Highbury.

Before the game, politicians, businessmen, celebrities, officials, rich people, fans and coaches from all walks of life in the UK congratulated the professor.

In front of the camera, Magic Bird’s congratulations are more like flattery: “He (Wenger) is indeed a successful coach in the Premier League, but in the European arena, we haven’t seen what Arsenal can do.”

Magic Bird's words are always like thorns hidden under the rose, maybe he just wanted to distract the professor before the game.

When asked if Magic Bird could manage 500 games at Chelsea, the professor just said bluntly like Mr. Matthew: "He is a young man with a bright future in front of him, why not?"

Being able to gain a firm foothold in the Premier League and win the benchmark of 500 games is not something that ordinary coaches can easily accomplish.

Time flies, back to the afternoon of the 96-97 season.

The phrase "Gu de Afort nun" made everyone remember this Frenchman who looked like a university professor.

Although the Gunners did not win the championship last season, Wenger is definitely the best foreign coach in the Premier League in the past 10 years in terms of coaching level and coaching time.

The professor can achieve great success at Arsenal, perhaps this is one of the reasons why Magic Bird can now become the coach of Chelsea. Nine years ago, Wenger made up his mind to come to Highbury from Japan to coach, which also brought success to many non-British coaches.

"I felt like I opened the door to overseas coaches because I proved that foreign managers can be successful, even if you're not from England. I remember my first full season and someone told me that an overseas manager was never in England. Winning the league."

The professor smiled and continued: "At that time I said: 'You are wrong, if one day there are 20 overseas coaches coaching each team in the Premier League, then one of them must win the championship!'"

Now, the professor didn't wait for 20 foreign coaches to coach the Premier League together, but he met Chelsea and Mourinho.

The arrival of Mourinho has brought a breath of fresh air to the Premier League.

Many people once thought that the Portuguese, who also pays attention to modern scientific training methods and is personable, will become good friends with Wenger.

But they forgot one thing: two people who look the same on the outside but are diametrically opposite on the inside are never easy to become close friends.In fact, Mourinho and Ferguson have far more similarities than between a madman and a professor.

Like "Mr Matthew", the professor devoted all his energy to Highbury: the training ground, Highbury and home, he lived a life of three points and one line.

Football is his life. The psychologist Hamilton, who was invited by The Times to analyze the two, said: "For Wenger, when football goes wrong, everything goes wrong. For example, at the press conference behind Cole Gate , that stress and pain were all on his face."

In contrast, Mourinho has repeatedly emphasized that family interests are above everything else, including football: he will take off his medals when he wins the Champions League to accompany his family members who are threatened by death, and he will accompany his children to watch "Fantastic" before the start of the Premier League. "Four Heroes", he has repeatedly admitted that his wife Tammy is the boss of the family.

The benevolent see benevolence, and the wise see wisdom.

Many people think that all this is just Mourinho's show, the purpose is to make the opponent feel unmatched with a leisurely figure-in a sense, Mourinho is like those who are buried in their homework at home. Like the students who always brag "I went to the Internet cafe to play games again yesterday".He's just better at disguising himself.

Secondly, in terms of team management and handling of interpersonal relationships, the two have similarities: neither of them is a "dictator" like Ferguson, nor will they be a "hair dryer" like Sir Alex Ferguson in the locker room. They all hope that players can consciously complete tasks.

But how to accomplish this goal?The methods of the two are absolutely different.

Magic Bird manipulates players with strong love and hate, adhering to the Latin habit of paying attention to emotions.

Mourinho wanted all the players to fall for him, and he would do anything to do it: he showed his charm in every way, and made his players dance with him like a little mouse who heard the magic flute.Once he turned his face, he would speak ruthlessly as if he had a dirty lover. Carvalho, who was recently convened by him in a public criticism meeting, had a taste of this.

And the calm Wenger, even in front of his cronies, rarely shows emotion.

But if he really likes you, he will love you faithfully.His disciple Adams said: "The professor is different from everyone we have experienced before. He is a thinker, a listener, and he cares about the interests of the players. He is an intellectual. He knows all about professional players from the inside out. Just watch When the player runs around, he knows whether the person is fit or not."

Third, the two are completely different in their use of the media.

The media is a weapon that Mourinho will never ignore. He and Ferguson are old experts in psychological warfare.In contrast, Wenger is more like the one who is forced to fight in the quagmire in many cases. He has occasional punchlines, but he is not very conscious of using the media.

After the Blues broke the monopoly of Manchester United and the Gunners on the Premier League, people have more talk about the title of the new season.

A league with controversy and suspense is considered exciting.

The result of the confrontation between the two teams will even affect the ownership of the Premier League champion in advance, which is one of the reasons why all England fans pay attention to this game before the game.

After the whistle at Stamford Bridge, the game continued at a breathless pace.

The pace is fast, the passing is fast, and the offensive and defensive transitions are also fast.

In high-intensity combat, the Gunners had almost no countermeasures against the well-defended Blues.

Except for Henry's occasional long-range shots that pose some threats to Petr Cech, Makelele + four defenders almost formed the most solid defense line in the whole of Britain and even in Europe.

In the 73rd minute of the game, Lampard took a free kick and Drogba stepped forward to respond.While leaning against Senderos with his body, he tried to unload the ball in front of him.

However, a strange thing happened. Drogba actually used his knee to stop a kick. The result was even more surprising. After the ball bounced off the ground, it hit his knee, just bypassing the goalkeeper Lehmann, who was making a save, and rushed into the net. .

No matter in terms of strength, angle or the exquisiteness of the line, this is an excellent "smart shot". It was only after the slow-motion playback that people suddenly realized that this exquisite goal was due to the unflattering Ivorians. ball control technique.

Senderos, who was called Campbell's successor by the professor, was completely exploded by the beast in Côte d'Ivoire in physical confrontation!
For Chelsea, this was a beautiful accident, but Wenger was furious.

When recalling after the game, the professor said: "Of course I am very disappointed, because it is too easy to lose the ball!"

People can easily hear that the professor is making a pun.

The original text is "a cheap one", "cheap" means cheap, inferior, effortless, and depreciation. As for what kind of emotion the professor wants to express, it is unknown.

In the end, Chelsea relied on Drogba's "mistake to stop the ball" to take three points in the home game against the championship opponent, and at the same time ended Chelsea's winless record against Arsenal since 97.

Magic Bird 40 Blues VS Professor 500 Gunners, Magic Bird wins.
