Chapter 308: Warm-up match ends, Mourinho takes a fancy to Chinese players
“Haha, Mourinho was so angry that he actually sent the main goalkeeper Cech into the field!”

“Chelsea was defeated by the poor skills of the National Olympic Team. Who would believe this?”

“To be honest, I don’t think Cudicini can be blamed. If you want to blame someone, blame the Chinese Olympic team for being too weak!”

“What? You Chelsea fans can still make excuses like this? The National Olympic Team scored two goals against Chelsea, and you still say that the National Olympic Team is weak!”

“Don’t fire, brother upstairs, you may accidentally injure your friends. What that guy meant was that the Olympic team didn’t have many shots in the whole game, and Chelsea’s goalkeeper barely moved.

The weather in London in February is already very cold. Without enough activity, the goalkeeper’s body quickly becomes cold or even stiff. In this case, his condition must be very poor, which is why he performed poorly! “

This analysis may seem ridiculous at first, but if you think about it carefully, it seems to make sense.

Recalling that, whether in the first half or the second half, the National Olympic Team had no good attacking opportunities and it was difficult to threaten the opponent’s goal.

But it is still quite unreasonable to put the blame on the National Olympic Team, because if the goalkeeper is a little more diligent, he can increase his activities in the penalty area and keep his physical condition at the best at all times. Wouldn’t this avoid a decline in condition?
From this perspective, it is not unfair for Mourinho to replace him!

The second goal was completely unexpected for Chelsea players.

In friendly matches, it is common practice to give the ball to the other team so that they can save some face.

But I have never heard of a two-goal handicap!

So the Olympic Team scored the second goal and broke Chelsea’s defense!
The eyes of those main players who were substituted in the second half began to change!

They used to be holding back, but now they are no longer holding back and are starting to show their true abilities!
Chelsea, who fielded most of their main players and gave their all, was simply not something the National Olympic Team could stop.

Less than five minutes after Hao Junmin scored, Ballack fired a powerful shot from outside the penalty area to help Chelsea regain the lead.

Then Chelsea successfully completed a cross from the wing in another attack, assisting Shevchenko to score another goal, changing the score to 4:2.
During this period, the National Olympic Team retreated across the board, but still could not stop the opponent’s attack.

After Ballack came on the pitch, Chelsea had too many offensive options.

Robben’s cut-in, Ashley Cole’s cross from the wing, Shevchenko’s shot in the penalty area, and Ballack’s free kick and long shot.

Faced with such a combination of skills, even teams at the level of the top five leagues would find it difficult to resist, let alone the National Olympic Team.

After Shevchenko scored Chelsea’s fourth goal, the Blues still did not give up the attack.

In the 75th minute, taking advantage of a corner kick opportunity, Terry overpowered the defender of the Olympic Team in the penalty area, grabbed the ball and used a lion’s head to send the ball into the net again.

Although both of them are central defenders, Feng Xiaoting was completely at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Terry.

Feng Xiaoting is a technical center back. Physical confrontation is not his strong point. In addition, after playing for most of the game, he had very little physical strength left.

In addition, Feng Xiaoting himself is quite afraid of players with strong physique and impact, so when using him, it is best to pair him with a tall and tough central defender to free him.

Seeing that the team’s defense was about to collapse, Krauchen had to hurry up and make substitutions.

Fortunately, this is a friendly match and there is no limit on the number of substitutions. If this was a regular match, it would probably be difficult!

Thanks to the fact that the National Olympic Team has called up a large number of players this time, there are sufficient substitutes for each position and there is no need to worry about having no one available.

Of course, there is still a big gap between the strength of the substitutes and the main players. Although they have plenty of physical strength, they are limited by their own strength level. Even if they are substituted on the field, they still can’t stop Chelsea’s offensive.

In the 81st minute, the cooperation of several Chelsea players in the penalty area disrupted the Olympic team’s defense. In the chaos, Shevchenko suddenly passed the ball into the goal. Chelsea’s midfielder Essien rushed up and shot the flying ball.

At this time, the penalty area was packed with players from both teams, but Essien’s shot miraculously avoided everyone.

Because the ball was going too fast, Wang Dalei was unable to react in time and could only watch the goal he was guarding being breached once again.

The score became 6:2, which was already a massacre.

“This is too tragic. The National Olympic Team can’t stop the opponent’s attack at all!”

“What a joke! How can the Olympic team’s shabby defense withstand the offensive of Europe’s top giants? They only allowed the opponent to score six goals, which is already very good!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ballack scored another goal with a free kick, extending the score to 7:2!

This time I am really embarrassed!

“Chelsea thinks the National Olympic Team is the same as Manchester United, right? They have no intention of showing mercy and want to beat the National Olympic Team to death!”

“It seems that Chelsea was really irritated by the last goal conceded. Excluding the two goals scored by the Olympic team, the score of 5:0 was within everyone’s predictions before the game!”

“Indeed, I predicted that the Olympic team would lose badly, but I didn’t expect them to score two goals. With these two goals, this game was totally worth it. Does anyone think that the Olympic team can beat Chelsea unexpectedly?”

The score gap has become so huge that even those who are still hoping for a lucky break will be woken up by now.

From the moment Chelsea started to play seriously, the situation on the field in the past few dozen minutes allowed everyone to intuitively feel the real gap between the two teams.

Fortunately, Chelsea did not send out all their main players at the beginning, otherwise, the National Olympic Team would have lost who knows how many goals!

The final score of the game was fixed at 7:2.

Chelsea showed no mercy until the very last moment. If time hadn’t run out, they would definitely have wanted to extend the score to double digits!

After all, ever since conceding the second goal, Mourinho has been standing on the sidelines with a grim face, trying to let go of his remaining anger.

In this situation, which Blues player on the field dares not to work hard?

Regarding this score, Krauchen could neither say he was satisfied nor dissatisfied.

His team was able to score two goals against Chelsea, and he was satisfied with the offensive performance.

But the National Olympic Team lost seven goals in one go, especially in the second half. In just 7 minutes from the th minute to the th minute, the National Olympic Team lost a full five goals, an average of one goal every five minutes.

The defense line was beaten like a sieve by the opponent, it was completely unbearable to watch.

Although this was due to the huge disparity in strength between the two sides, the players made many mistakes on the field and their performance was not satisfactory to him.

After returning, it seems that I need to spend more time on defense.

The defensive line is still a bit weak. In fact, except for Feng Xiaoting, he is not very satisfied with the other defenders.

If this problem cannot be solved, we will have to use the three non-restricted places to poach players from the adult team.

Although it was a friendly match, the organizers still held a formal post-match press conference.

Except for Lin Feng, other players of the National Olympic Team are almost unknown in the UK.

Therefore, most of the questions from British reporters were directed to Chelsea. Through the verbal battles between Mourinho and these British reporters, Lin Feng also witnessed for the first time the horror of the British football public opinion battlefield.

“Mr. Mourinho, today’s opponent is just a youth team, and they are not very strong, but they scored two goals against Chelsea. Does this mean that Chelsea’s defensive problems have not been solved?”

Lin Feng glanced at the reporter who asked the question. The question was not polite at all!

This reporter is most likely a supporter of Chelsea’s rivals or has a beef with Mourinho himself, or he is here specifically to engage in a war of words with Mourinho in order to obtain news material.

When Mourinho first arrived in the Premier League with the Champions League glory at Porto, he instantly became a media darling.

The arrogant Mourinho also seems to be in a state of defying everything. He attacks this person today and that person tomorrow. He fights all day long and even claims that he is the most special one!
So some people gave him the nickname of a madman.

Later, some people analyzed that the reason why Mourinho liked to engage in verbal battles with other teams was that he wanted to focus the outside world’s attention and pressure on himself in this way, so that his players could train and prepare for the game with peace of mind.

But no matter what, British journalists all understand one thing: as long as they meet Mourinho, there will be no shortage of news.

Sure enough, Mourinho looked unhappy with the reporter’s question:
“Chelsea’s defense is fine. My team is the best team on the planet, and this has been proven in the match against Barcelona!”

In the previous two rounds of the Champions League, Chelsea relied on iron-blooded defense to defend Barcelona, ​​which had a number of top attackers such as Ronaldinho, Eto’o and Messi.

The defending champions’ unstoppable attack was helpless in the face of Chelsea’s iron defense.

If it weren’t for Chelsea’s strength, Barcelona would not have been forced to that point in the Champions League this season, and would not have been almost eliminated.

But the reporter did not seem to intend to let Mourinho go, he continued to ask:
“But why did your team lose two goals? Moreover, Chelsea has lost more goals in the league this season than last season and the season before that. You are no longer the best defensive team in the Premier League. Doesn’t this explain the problem?”

As the saying goes, don’t slap someone in the face when you hit someone, don’t expose someone’s shortcomings when you scold someone.

Chelsea’s defense does have problems. During the winter break, the entire Premier League knew that Chelsea wanted to buy a defender.

In order to fight against the Blues and prevent them from winning three consecutive Premier League titles, almost all Premier League teams at that time held on to their own defenders and were unwilling to accept Chelsea’s offer.

It is less than half a month away from the winter break, and Mourinho said that Chelsea’s defense is fine, but the reporters certainly don’t believe it.

Mourinho didn’t want to pay attention to the reporter’s entanglement: “There is no problem with my team, next question!”

The reporters at the scene raised their hands one after another. Mourinho learned his lesson this time and did not call on the British reporters.

He pointed to a reporter who was obviously of Asian appearance, thinking that the other party would definitely raise issues related to the Chinese Olympic Team and would not continue to focus on Chelsea’s defensive issues!

This was indeed the case, and the person who was called out was a reporter from Sports Weekly.

“Coach Mourinho, how do you evaluate this game and the opponent?”

Mourinho is a Taiwanese, and when faced with such a problem, he would also use some social etiquette.

“This is a very young team with great potential. There are some very outstanding players in the team, especially the No. 8, No. 10, No. 5 and No. 7. I am very impressed by them.”

The reporter previously attacked Chelsea’s defense by belittling the strength of the National Olympic Team.

Now when answering questions, Mourinho praised the National Olympic Team heavily, telling everyone in this way that the opponent is not a weak team.

As long as you don’t ask why Chelsea lost two goals, we are still good friends.
Mourinho, a foreigner, has started to talk about the ways of the world, so domestic reporters will naturally not expose his shortcomings.

After hearing Mourinho’s answer, the reporter from Sports Weekly’s eyes lit up and quickly asked:
“Do you think there are any players among these players that you and Chelsea are interested in? Will Chelsea introduce young players from China in the future?”

Many people in China are also concerned about this issue. The Blues have been in very good momentum in recent years and are on the verge of becoming the dominant force in the Premier League.

Although in terms of fame and influence, it is still not as famous as the Red Devils Manchester United.

But in the current Premier League landscape, Chelsea can definitely compete with Manchester United.

If such a team can take a fancy to one or two Chinese players, it will be a great recognition of the players.

Mourinho was secretly happy when he heard the questions from Chinese reporters.

He calmly glanced at Lin Feng who was sitting next to him, then answered seriously:
“Of course, as long as he is a good player who meets Chelsea’s requirements, we will always keep the door open to him!”

This answer sounded like a polite remark from the other party, and the reporter felt a little disappointed after hearing it.

But the others were thoughtful after listening to it. To be honest, in the National Olympic Team’s lineup, there are only two players who can be favored by Chelsea: Lin Feng and Chen Tao.

But Chen Tao’s performance today was not good and he was substituted after only playing half the game.

Only Lin Feng’s performance of one goal and one assist met everyone’s expectations before the game.

So, if Mourinho really wants to sign a Chinese player, that person can only be Lin Feng.

So, does this mean that Mourinho is hinting that Chelsea may sign Lin Feng?

The reporters are not the worms in Mourinho’s stomach, so naturally they don’t know what the other party is thinking.

But they don’t care about your this or that. What I guess is the fact, so just publish it in the newspaper!
Catch the wind and make baseless accusations, isn’t this what journalists are good at?
