Chapter 291
Sitting in his office in Porto, Mourinho watched the Chelsea-Arsenal match on a small TV provided by his sponsor.

At the end of the game, Mourinho, who watched the whole game, was silent, and carefully recorded the notes of this game.At the same time, he is also trying to improve Porto's training methods.

How he wished he could lead that Chelsea team to a match against Arsenal!

Just thinking about it makes the blood boil.

Mourinho imagined in his mind what kind of play and tactics he should use if he was standing at Stamford Bridge.

And Arsenal's performance in this game also taught Mourinho a lesson.

It turns out that the game can still be played like this!

When he first became the head coach of Porto, Mourinho released his bold words that he would lead Porto to the league championship.

But no one believed him, not to mention other cynical team fans, even Porto fans were not optimistic about Mourinho.

The current him can only be convincing if he makes achievements, just like Shao Bo, whom no one knew before.If his performance in the first season was worrying, he might have stepped down early, and now he can only become a laughing stock.

When Shao Bo first coached Arsenal, no one had heard of him, and no one had seen his coaching experience in any team, but Shao Bo still won countless championships and filled the showroom trophy?
Created a new Arsenal that has surpassed the era of Chapman and Graham!

All the media have completely forgotten how they laughed at Shao Bo and how they despised the vision of the Arsenal board.

Now they can't wait to lick the ground stepped on by Shao Bo and Arsenal, just because there is news and attention there!
Mourinho also hopes to be such a person, even before he was interpreting for Robson and Van Gaal, he wanted to be such a person.

Like Shao Bo, Mourinho is also a person who has not become a professional player, but has become a head coach.

However, Mourinho's foundation is much more solid than Shao Bo's.After years of training, I worked as a translator for two well-known head coaches successively, and learned experience and nutrition from them.

Mourinho is like a small grass, gradually growing into a big tree.

While he is struggling in Porto, he has already achieved his initial goal. If he wants to achieve greater success, he has to work harder.

However, in addition to his envy for Shao Bo, deep down in his heart, he also has deep jealousy. He is jealous that Shao Bo was hired by Arsenal like shit luck.

Some people are jealous that he won the championship like shit luck and stabilized the handsome position.

Mourinho is looking forward to one day, he can also set foot in the Premier League and compete with Shao Bo!
……

Abramovich, who was originally full of confidence, watched Chelsea, who had been recharging their energy for a long time at the Stamford Bridge Stadium, was led by the nose at home to the exhausted Arsenal, and still failed to beat them.

I feel a little upset.

However, Eriksson at least did not lose the game, which for him has reached the most basic goal.

As for victory?Although a little upset, they still have opportunities in the second half of the season.

In this game, they have at least achieved the initial lead over Arsenal.

Although he doesn't understand football very well, he also knows that leading is a good thing.It was tied at the last moment... Forget it, I will let Eriksson go this time.

Otherwise, Abramovich has considered changing to a new head coach.

Chelsea is now in a good momentum in the League Cup, perhaps this is Eriksson's first championship trophy for Chelsea.

If the League Cup is really not enough,...then wait until the FA Cup to see if it doesn't work, then really change the head coach.

At present, he has invested more than [-] million pounds in Chelsea, and he has not seen any hope of winning the championship so far. Could it be that so much money has been wasted?
But if you think about the high liquidated damages he needs to pay if you let Eriksson go early, Abramovich has to think about it.

But as long as there is a head coach who can lead Chelsea to the championship, he doesn't care about the money.

Poor Eriksson, I don't know yet that he may lose his handsome position.Although they once led Arsenal first.

But in Abramovich's view, maybe it is more passionate to be led first, and then tenaciously equalize the score?

Arsenal, who beat Chelsea in the away game, once again made the British media shout, who can really beat them?
Is Arsenal really unstoppable in the league?
Fortunately, they have already been eliminated in the League Cup early, otherwise I am afraid that someone will imagine that Arsenal won the seven championships and come to blackmail the team.

This is also one of the reasons why Abramovich pondered the possibility of Chelsea winning the League Cup after the game.After all, Manchester United was also eliminated in the League Cup, and the only strong opponent they had to face was Liverpool.

Blackburn, who defeated Arsenal in the League Cup, also became a team praised by many media for a while.

It's just that Blackburn lost to Nottingham Forest in the next League Cup match, and they lost cleanly.

And Arsenal was as strong as ever at that time.

However, they still lost in the league after all.

However, Arsenal, which lost the game in the league, remained unbeaten in the Champions League.This magical state surprised all football commentators.

In the Champions League, when everyone was praying for Arsenal to lose quickly, and Arsenal to lose quickly, they stubbornly remained unbeaten.

In the face of AC Milan, both games were tied.

The first game was held at Highbury, Arsenal's home court. Inzaghi and Seedorf each scored a goal for AC Milan, while Arsenal also scored twice with Morientes.

In the second game, neither side could score at the San Siro.

Originally, the two teams, which were somewhat hostile because of their unbeaten records, played fairly well in these two games.

In addition to the media always promoting various provocative remarks, the players on both sides, including the head coach, are very restrained.

Probably they also know that this unbeaten record has nothing to do with the current two teams.

Arsenal's unbeaten record has just been ended, and their games have remained at 53 games.After equalizing Chelsea, they finally couldn't stand it anymore, and they were distraught throughout the game, like walking dead.

The players who stayed in Milan during the Capello era are long gone.Today's head coach Ancelotti is not good at talking, and Shao Bo is not interested in picking things up at will.

Instead, those "undercover agents" who were expecting something to happen in these two games were greatly disappointed.

After all, in Highbury, Arsenal's fans are habitually quiet, rarely making noise deliberately, and even less deliberately targeting a certain player.

AC Milan fans naturally reciprocated, giving Arsenal players a relatively good away environment at the San Siro Stadium.

After losing to Basel in the away game, Arsenal finally regained face at home, defeated their opponents, and won their only victory in the group stage of the second stage of the Champions League.

This game was also their last victory before the Champions League restructuring.

When facing Real Mallorca, the opponent showed an extremely tough attitude.Whether in the beautiful Balearic Islands or in the crowded North London, neither side could do anything to the other.

St. Imoth Stadium and Highbury did not bring even the slightest advantage to both sides.

Another two draws!

As a result, Arsenal scored two one points. After the game, Shao Bo complained: "It's not as good as one win and one loss can get more points."

As a result, Arsenal scored seven points with one win, one loss and four consecutive draws, second only to Real Mallorca, which scored eight points, and ranked third in the group.

Real Mallorca, on the other hand, occupied a place in the quarter-finals like a dark horse.They actually won two victories against Basel in this group. In the game against Arsenal, they didn't let Shao Bo find a chance.

From the very beginning, they firmly took the initiative, and as a result, Arsenal didn't get a chance from it.

And although Real Mallorca's performance was not as good as the undefeated Arsenal, they also advanced to the next round by virtue of their points advantage.

During this journey in the Champions League, Arsenal can be said to have been ridiculed.

Arsenal, who have lost their qualifications, can only look forward to the next season, the restructured Champions League.

In the European arena, they successfully won the UEFA Cup as a dark horse in the first few seasons and reached the final of the Champions League.

However, after that, they have not been able to break into the quarterfinals.Even this year's controversial Champions League grouping did not allow Arsenal to go further.

However, Arsenal's failure to go further in the Champions League may also have something to do with their encounters in the league.

If it weren't for Arsenal to consume a lot of energy after encountering the devil's schedule, Shao Bo had almost no one available in the league, how could they lose?
In the case of failing to hit AC Milan's unbeaten record, Arsenal's players will naturally have some psychological problems more or less.

The only gratifying thing is that both Pires and Henry have recovered from their injuries and can return.

The two of them could have played earlier, even in the game against Middlesbrough, lest Arsenal lose to their opponents in the end.

However, for the sake of their health, Shao Bo made them wait an extra week.

And for this reason, Shao Bo didn't even arrange the two into the big list for the game.As a result, in the later stages of the game, even if Shao Bo wanted them to play, he had no chance.

 The third update!Today's three changes are all due on the 18th of yesterday. Today's two changes are owed first, and there is an exam tomorrow, so I have to review. After the exam, I will make up the owed changes.
