Chapter 17, War of Words, Reinforced Concrete Three Midfielders
"Of course I know Chelsea are strong, but why can't we win?"
at a press conference.
Li Ao as the captain attended,
questioned by reporters.
Li Ao asked back.
His question left a group of reporters speechless.
Yes, why should we swear that others can't win?
"Chelsea double play last season" said a reporter
"You know it happened last season, we won the championship last season!"
"They're good at counter-attacking, especially away...yes, they're good at away!"
A reporter said.
"Hehe, let me tell you that Chelsea is good at away games? This season, they only played one round after playing all games, and Chelsea still played at home. How did you make up the conclusion that Chelsea is good at playing away games?"
Li Ao sneered.
The reporters opened their mouths.
I am speechless.
How did they know that Li Ao was so eloquent.
It should be the consensus of many people that a team that is good at defensive counterattack will not have bad away results, but you can't say that this is the truth.
Some journalists in London couldn't help but sneer: "Tough mouth! Talking about it!"
This is their opinion.
"That's right! Manchester United have not scored against Chelsea in four consecutive games! In the last four games, Manchester United scored the most goals, but conceded six..."
A reporter stood up and said triumphantly.
The data supports his point of view, so he thinks Li Ao will have nothing to say this time, right?
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."
Li Ao laughed, and he clapped while laughing.
The reporters looked at each other, it didn't sound like congratulations, but irony.
"Four wins in a row, zero goals conceded? That must be a new record for Chelsea, right?"
Li Ao grinned.
"But isn't a record meant to be broken from the moment it is born?"
Li Ao left this sentence, turned and left very coolly.
Leaving a group of reporters you look at me, I look at him.
Then everyone looked at Li Ao's back, not knowing what to say.
Even Mourinho on the side is touching his nose.
this kid
The protagonists of previous press conferences are usually mine.
How did it become him now?
Mourinho also feels the feeling of being a supporting role for others...
But Li Ao has the qualifications.
Who made him the number one star of the team?
At least for now at Manchester United, Mourinho is not a special one.
Li Ao is also the winner of two European Championship trophies.
.....records are made to be broken...”
Conti put down the newspaper in his hand.
There was a faint smile on his face.
As a famous coach who can pull Juventus out of the mud.
Condi's ability to get the position of Chelsea coach absolutely depends on his strength.
He put down the newspaper and looked at Li Ao's slightly obscene smile in the accompanying picture.
Can't help frowning slightly.
If there is no Li Ao.
Now this Manchester United team is hardly worth mentioning.
Unfortunately.
With such a superstar, Manchester United is no longer in a state of disunity last season.
And for this game is a test for Manchester United.
The same is true of Condi.
He got up and walked to the training ground, where a new day of training was waiting for him.
Chuan practice side.
The media rushed over.
"I don't think Manchester United is any good now. They beat Swansea 5-0 only because Swansea is too weak. We will give them a little strength at Old Trafford."
"Li Ao... he is very good, but football is a team sport, I never felt that a superstar can make a big difference, Mourinho still needs time to transform his team!!"
Conte was very tough when facing the reporters.
"Did he really say that?"
This time it was not Li Ao who responded.
It's the team's coach Mourinho.
"I still remember playing against his team when I was in Serie A, it was really a very pleasant memory...
2009-2010.
Mourinho is still the head coach of Inter Milan
that season.
Mourinho led Inter Milan to an unprecedented treble.
Facing Juventus led by Conte.
Mourinho double-killed his opponent with a score of 3-1 away and 3-0 at home.
Among the records of the two against each other.
Brother Kong is at a disadvantage for the time being.
"So I don't know what he has to be proud of."
Mourinho pouted and said.
The game hasn't started yet.
The war of words between the two sides started first.
in the game.
Both sides have sent the strongest lineup.
Especially Chelsea.
When people saw their reinforced concrete three midfielder lineup.
Can't help but gasp.
Although everyone guessed before the game that Condi would send such a combination in this game, using Rami Reiss, Mikel, and Matic, three defensive midfielders with super defensive capabilities.
Everyone knows what Chelsea is going to do.
But just because you know what your opponent is going to do, doesn't mean you have a way to deal with it.
It's like the lineup that Condi is sending now.
Three defensive midfielders, Demba Ba and Hazard in front, Azpilicueta and Ashley Cole on the wings, Terry, Gary Cahill, Ivan at the back Norwich.
Such a lineup.
Not to mention the offense.
How do you break through this line of defense?
"This is the strongest defensive lineup in the world!"
Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said with emotion.
At the beginning, Chelsea relied on defense to win the Champions League.
Now there is another Italian coach who has three defenders and defensive counterattacks engraved in his genes.
Even if he, like Mourinho, just took over the team this season.
But the situations faced by the two sides are completely different.
Conte needed only a few tweaks to adapt Chelsea to his tactics.
And now Mourinho and Manchester United are still in the running-in period.
The situation on both sides is completely different.
This is also the reason why many media are not optimistic about Manchester United playing at home. .
