In a focused game, Manchester City defeated Chelsea 4-3 away from home, showing good momentum and form. However, after the game, the biggest news was not Manchester City's four-game winning streak, nor was it Arsenal's draw. Liverpool was only one point ahead of Manchester City and Manchester United, but at the press conference after the game, Mourinho announced a news that shocked the entire Premier League!
"After this game, I will no longer be the head coach of Chelsea. I have already discussed it with the chairman, and I will resign as the head coach of Chelsea."
Mourinho¡¯s understatement at the press conference immediately caused the entire press conference to become a mess.
Dick was lying on the table, looking at the reporters in a mess. He knew that he would definitely not be the protagonist in this year's press conference, so he might as well save his energy and let Mourinho do it
It took a lot of effort for the reporters to calm down. Someone immediately thought of the issue of this game, and then raised their hands to ask: "Mr. Mourinho, does your decision have anything to do with this game?"
Before Mourinho could speak, Dick raised his head: "Don't talk nonsenseMr. Mourinho doesn't want to be the head coach of Chelsea anymore. What does it have to do with meYou better say it yourself, So that all the Chelsea fans don¡¯t hate me.¡±
His last words were to Mourinho. Mourinho laughed and then replied seriously: "Yes, Mr. Dick is right. This decision I made has nothing to do with this game. In fact, before this game started, I had already signed a termination contract with Chelsea Club. Whether I win or lose this game, it will not affect my decision to resign after the game.¡±
As soon as Mourinho said these words, Dick immediately became the object of no one's attention, and Dick had to be at the scene at this time, so Dick yawned boredly and buried his head directly on the table. Take a nap
It was not until half an hour later that Dick raised his head in a daze. By this time, the reporters had almost finished asking questions and began to target Dick.
"Mr. Dick, what do you think of Mr. Mourinho's resignation?"
"How can I see it? This decision was not made by me But no matter what, Mourinho's departure from the Premier League must be a huge loss for the Premier League"
Hearing this, all the reporters were speechless. Aren't you sleeping? How do you still know that Mourinho will not coach a Premier League team next? This guy really knows how to act crazy and act stupid.
But it is obvious that nothing can be dug out of Dick's mouth. Although Dick usually offends many people, he will not be stupid enough to laugh at Mourinho at this time. To please, some reporters asked if Dick would take over Mourinho's position, but he was despised by other reporters - at least this season, Dick would not be the head coach of Chelsea, even if Dick was Ke has this idea, and Abu also wants to poach Dick, so he won't show it so quickly, right
Mourinho left like this. Although Chelsea fans were very dissatisfied, they could not let this madman stay. Mourinho, who left the position of Chelsea head coach, temporarily disappeared from people's sight, and he It was also announced that he will not serve as coach of any club this season, but will rest and recharge.
"Those who are resting should go and rest, while poor people like me have to continue working."
Dick got the advantage and said something obediently, and put the matter aside. Resigning is not the end of the world, nor is it retirement. There is no chance that he will not have a chance to play against Mourinho in the future. Dick knows that Mourinho is like this After all, the head coach will still be his biggest opponent, and he may fight against him for many years. There is no need to lament over his resignation.
After defeating Chelsea, Manchester City consolidated its second position in the league, and was only one point behind Arsenal. In midweek, they also ushered in their fourth opponent in the League Cup, a nursing home from the Premier League. Bolton.
Bolton's situation this season is not very good. Now they have only six points after eleven rounds, and they are at the bottom together with Derby County. Under such circumstances, Bolton naturally does not have the energy to play in the League Cup - for the League Cup competition He said that it is different from the FA Cup. The winner of the FA Cup also has many wealthy clubs paying attention, while in the League Cup, most of the wealthy clubs can play if they can. There is not much pursuit of mid-range teams, and it is difficult for a team like Bolton Wanderers, which has already entered the relegation zone, to have much interest in the League Cup.
Manchester City¡¯s substitutes narrowly defeated Bolton Wanderers by one goal in the away game. Central defender Cahill¡¯s header allowed Manchester City to win the game.?, entered the quarter-finals, but there were no dark horses in the League Cup this season. The eight teams were all Premier League teams. Except for Manchester United, who was unexpectedly defeated by Coventry in the third round, the other strong teams were basically All have entered the quarter-finals. Except for Manchester City, the other seven teams are Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham, Blackburn, West Ham United and Everton.
In the draw for the quarter-finals, Manchester City did not encounter Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal, but Tottenham is also a very strong opponent. Chelsea and Liverpool, who have just lost their head coach, are divided together. This game will be the most An eye-catching game.
Mourinho left, and the Premier League seemed to have become a lot calmer. In the next league game, Manchester City, which had won four consecutive games, once again won a big victory at home, facing the black cat Sunderland. Manchester City played a hearty game at home. Ribery shined in the game. Not only did he score a goal, but he also completed a hat-trick of assists, assisting Torres, Di Natale and Yaya Toure. After scoring a goal, Manchester City swept Sunderland 4-0 at home. The strong offensive formation built by Dick began to gradually exert its power.
In this round, Arsenal drew 2-2 with Manchester United. The two biggest rivals were tied. The winner was naturally Manchester City, who surpassed them with 29 points. Defeated Arsenal by one point and returned to the top spot in the standings!
"Before the start of the season, no one seemed to think that Manchester City could win the league championship immediately, but now it seems that Manchester City, without European competition, has enough ability to win the league championship After all, the other four strong teams have the Champions League. It seems that Manchester City has a great chance to win the league championship because Dick has gradually shaped the team. Under such circumstances, Manchester City will Will become the most powerful contender for the league championship!¡±
When the media began to feel that Manchester City was getting better and better, after five consecutive victories, Manchester City began to have its own ups and downs.
In the thirteenth round, Manchester City was unexpectedly tied 0-0 by Portsmouth in an away game. Arsenal and Manchester United both won. Arsenal once again overtook Manchester City by one point, and Manchester United once again tied Manchester City's points.
In the fourteenth round, after a hard battle, Manchester City relied on Torres's brace and Di Natale's goal to defeat Reading at home, chasing Arsenal closely, while Manchester United unexpectedly lost. They beat Bolton and were three points away from Manchester City.
In the fifteenth round, Manchester City played a beautiful game. They swept Wigan Athletic 4-1 away from home. In this game, Manchester City played quite wonderfully. Torres and Di Natale each scored a goal. Parker Kompany also scored a goal, but Manchester City suffered a blow in this game. The young player Bale who came on as a substitute in the second half was seriously injured. It is initially estimated that he will have to rest for two months, which means that Manchester City will lack a strong rotation. What's more terrible is that Torres, who is becoming more and more important in Manchester City's offensive system, also sprained his ankle in this game and is expected to rest for a month. Unfortunately, he may not be able to catch up with the most intensive period. Christmas schedule.
The continuous injuries of Torres and Bell really gave Dick a headache, but fortunately, he has a lot of available players. At least Vassell can still play for a while at this time, and with the outrageous Christmas period With the arrival of the schedule, he must also adopt more rotations. In the Premier League, many teams fall behind during the Christmas period.
Just look at the next schedule. There will be only one league game in the next two weeks. However, after the league match against Bolton on the 15th, Manchester City will face Tottenham in the UEFA Cup on the 19th. The eighteenth round of the competition will begin on the second day. I can rest for a few days near Christmas, but then there will be three consecutive league rounds on the 28th, 30th and January 3rd
"This kind of schedule is really outrageous. These guys in the Premier League are lucky to be able to survive" Dick couldn't help but sigh, but after sighing, he still had to prepare for the next game against Tottenham.
Tottenham didn¡¯t play very well at the beginning of this season. They were close to the relegation zone, but now they are gradually recovering their strength. This is not an easy opponent to deal with.
In this game, Dick sent Vassell to replace Torres as the main center. However, it was obvious that Vassell was very anxious after being a substitute for so long. He wasted opportunities and missed an empty goal that was close at hand. After missing these opportunities, he became more and more anxious, which seriously affected Manchester City's offense.
When Manchester City's offense reached a stalemate, Tottenham seized two opportunities to counterattack, with full-back Chimbanda and forward Defoe attacking each other in the first and second half.Score a goal!
Dick endured Vassell until the 70th minute, and then he couldn't stand Vassell's poor performance and replaced him. Not only because he didn't score, but also because he took up too many offensive opportunities. And then the constant waste is almost like being an undercover agent of Tottenham
When he came off the field, Vassell seemed to be very dissatisfied. He did not return to the bench at all but walked directly back to the locker room. Dick didn't care about this. For this former international player who was already quite old, Dick Ke had already sentenced him to death in his heart.
Ashley Young came on as a substitute. After he came on, Di Natale came to the central position. Under such circumstances, Di Natale quickly recovered a point. However, in the following time, the Heat San Antonio used defense to hold on to the last moment, maintaining the two-to-one lead until the end. Manchester City suffered its second defeat of the season!
¡°We didn¡¯t play well in this game, but in the future, I think we will do better.¡± Dick said with a straight face at the post-game press conference.
