Chapter 252
"Leeds United beat Liverpool 5-1 away, Benitez's future is worrying!"
"The championship battle is getting hot! The 35th round of the Premier League ended yesterday. Leeds United beat Liverpool 5-1 away, and Manchester United beat Middlesbrough 2-1 at home! With the last three rounds of the league left, Leeds United is only one point ahead of Manchester United, who has played one less round! Chelsea may become the key factor in determining the ownership of the championship. "
"Who will win the Premier League championship in the 2006-2007 season? Ferguson's dagger is revealed. Will Manchester United strive for the treble this season? "
"Post-match interview, Li Shiguang: The team's condition has improved, and we will strive to win all the last three rounds! I believe in Mourinho's professionalism, and there is no possibility that Chelsea will let the game go! "
The next day.
The English media basically glossed over the Leeds United victory over Liverpool.
In their view.
It basically announced that the defense of this season failed, but Chelsea, which determined the fate of the other two teams, became a hot commodity.
After defeating Newcastle United away yesterday, Chelsea is currently nine points behind Leeds United and eight points behind Manchester United, who have played one less game. With three rounds left in the league, they can be said to have lost hope of defending the title.
At the press conference after the match with Newcastle United.
Mourinho himself said in an interview: Chelsea and himself have both failed in the Premier League this season, and the hope of winning the championship is very slim. But fortunately, there are still two trophies to fight for, the FA Cup and the European Champions League.
But the reporters don’t seem to be interested in whether Chelsea can win the two championships mentioned by Mourinho.
What they want to know more is whether Chelsea will let Manchester United down in the league rematch next month because they are preparing for the Champions League civil war with Manchester United!
After all, the time of these two games is too close.
"Letting go? This is an insult to the professionalism of me and Chelsea players!" After hearing a reporter raise this question very bluntly, Mourinho, who was sitting on the stage, sneered, "But it's too early to talk about this issue now. I will now devote myself to the first round of the match against Manchester United in four days!"
····
On the evening of April 26, the civil war between the two Premier League teams in the Champions League semi-finals started on time.
Yesterday, another semi-final match was over, and Bayern Munich won the visiting AC Milan 3:2 at home.
Because there was something to work overtime yesterday, Li Shiguang simply watched this game with Simeone in the office.
Although AC Milan lost, the two away goals were there. From the perspective of the head coach to analyze this game, maybe after the game, it is not Ancelotti who lost the game who is more panicked, but Bayern Munich's head coach Otmar Hitzfeld.
Kaka scored two goals in this game, continuing to keep AC Milan's hope of advancing to the final.
After watching the whole game, Li Shiguang could only sigh in his heart that Ancelotti was really lucky. Meeting Kaka in 2007 was also a blessing for this fat guy in his previous life!
After finishing work early today, Li Shiguang went home and had a romantic candlelight dinner with Shakira, who came to Leeds for vacation after a few days of leisure. After taking a comfortable hot bath, he sat down on the sofa in the living room under Shakira's resentful eyes, turned on the TV, and prepared to watch who would win between his two old opponents tonight.
There are about 20 minutes left before the game starts. On the TV screen, Lineker and Jon are conducting the final pre-match analysis.
The Leeds United that he supports has been eliminated.
Compared with Jon next to him, Lineker is lightly equipped today. In his heart, whoever loses or wins is an acceptable result.
"Jon, what do you think of this game?" After introducing the starting lineups of both sides, Lineker asked Jon next to him in a relaxed tone.
"Chelsea wins." Jon blurted out, as if hesitating for one more second would be disrespectful to Chelsea.
Lineker didn't expect Jon to answer so quickly, so he quickly put away the microphone and whispered, "Hey, brother, we are live broadcasting, do you have to be so emotional!?"
"Ah?...Oh!" Jon only reacted after hearing Lineker's reminder, and he leaned close to the microphone to make up for what he had just said, "I just think Chelsea has a greater chance of winning this game today, after all, there is a home advantage."
Hearing Jon's pale and powerless explanation, even Li Shiguang in front of the TV curled his lips. As a commentator, your position is too obvious, openly leading the rhythm in the live broadcast.
Isn't this nonsense? The home advantage means a greater chance of winning? Then my LeedsWhy was Manchester United eliminated by AC Milan?
Although Jon's reason is ridiculous.
But in Li Shiguang's opinion, Chelsea's chances of winning today are indeed greater.
Both sides played on Sunday in the last round of the Premier League, and both had three days of rest.
But Manchester United played with all the main players on Sunday because they also had to compete for the championship.
As for Chelsea, Mourinho made a lot of rotations because they had already freed up their hands in the league, and the main lineup was well rested.
However, this is just a rough analysis before the game. The ball is round. Less than 90 minutes later, the referee blew the whistle to end the game. No one knows what will happen in the game!
After the game started, Chelsea really suppressed Manchester United from the beginning.
Mourinho, who always likes to play defensive counterattacks, did not play according to common sense today. He stood on the sidelines and kept directing the players to press forward, trying to take the lead in opening the situation when he was full of energy.
Facing Chelsea's wave after wave of attacks, Manchester United could only shrink in their own half and struggle to hold on.
This situation made Li Shiguang wonder if the two head coaches had exchanged tactical ideas before the game!
The game was in the 28th minute.
Chelsea organized an attack in the frontcourt. Lampard passed the ball to Drogba at the top of the penalty area after withstanding Carrick's harassment in the midfield.
After receiving the ball, Drogba turned around forcefully in the face of Heinze's pressing and pretended to shoot.
After seeing this situation, Brown had no choice but to come up to block. Seeing this situation, Drogba cleverly turned the shot into a straight pass and passed the ball to Joe Cole who broke into the penalty area from the right.
Joe Cole, who was completely unguarded, only took a step forward after receiving the ball and shot low. Van der Sar, who was attacking, fell to the ground and reacted a little slower. The football went into the net between his legs!
1:0, Chelsea took the lead at home!
