Football's Number One Madman

Chapter 458 Lee Polo Vs Magic Bird

"Ladies and gentlemen, dear fans and friends, have a great weekend. Welcome to the biggest game of the 11th round of the Premier League brought to you by Sky Sports, Chelsea vs. Manchester United at home! I'm Gary."

On the first day of November, Gary Lineker, in a neat suit, appeared in the live broadcast room with a smile on his face:

"There is still a quarter of an hour before the game. We can first review the other games that have ended in this round."

The big screen behind him switched over immediately:

"In Saturday's game day, Liverpool beat West Ham United 4:1 away. Their new aid Salah scored twice and was in very good condition."

"Yes."

When it came to Liverpool, the guest Jamie Carragher sitting opposite him suddenly flushed:
"After this battle, Liverpool successfully surpassed Arsenal, only 4 points away from the top 2 in the standings."

Another guest, Rio Ferdinand, shrugged:

"Liverpool is only fifth in the standings, not even as good as Tottenham and Burnley. I don't know why you are so happy."

Carragher pouted:
"We just sold our core player Coutinho in the summer, and it will take a while to adjust. Now the adjustment period is basically over, and the next step is to make big kills!"

Ferdinand was dismissive:
"Your lineup has been adjusted, don't we at Manchester United? Lukaku and Morata seamlessly connected with our tactics. The two together scored 12 league goals. This efficiency is quite impressive!"

Carragher took a look with a half-smile:
"Leo, do you have to compare the number of goals?"

Ferdinand's face changed, and he immediately raised his hands in surrender:

"Sorry, sorry, I shouldn't have brought this up!"

In front of Chelsea's Li Polo, raising the scoring efficiency... Isn't that self-defeating? -
After their two old rivals attracted a wave of audience traffic with their verbal battles, Lineker turned back to the topic:
"In another focus match that just ended an hour ago, with the three goals of Aguero, Jesus and De Bruyne, Manchester City beat Arsenal 3:1 at home, temporarily surpassing Chelsea and One point advantage jumped to the top of the standings."

He smiled:

"Now the pressure is on Manchester United. Leo, do you want to keep Manchester City in this ranking, or let Chelsea return to the top of the table again?"

Ferdinand, a famous Manchester United star, did not reflect the narrow regional protectionism of "Manchester is a family" and "I am with Manchester City". He waved his hand very grandly:
"Let Manchester City die!"

Lineker and Carragher both laughed.
-
While the commentators were chatting, players from both sides walked out of the locker room one after another and lined up in the player tunnel one by one.

According to the characteristics of the opponent and the status of the players, Conte made some adjustments to the starting 11 players.

Considering that both Lukaku and Morata are tall and burly types, Azpilicueta moved from the right center back to the right wing back, and Cahill, Christensen and Rudiger formed a three-center back. The left wing-back is the unshakeable Alonso.

In midfield, Kanter, who has recovered well, returned to the starting lineup, forming a partner with Cesc Fabregas and Golovin.

On the forward line, Conte only arranged two offensive players, Li Polo and Hazard. Whether it was William or Pedro, they could only watch the game from the bench.

"Chelsea is putting up a 352 formation?"

Lineker glanced at the starting lineup and quickly analyzed the formation.

Carragher rubbed the stubble on his chin inexplicably:

"Manchester United's flank defense is average. Hazard and William can attack their flanks!"

Ferdinand was upset:

"Luke Shaw is the number one full-back in Great Britain, why is he so mediocre?"

Lineker coughed:
"Luke Shaw was injured long ago."

Ferdinand was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly went to see his team's lineup:
Mourinho also put up a three-back formation!
In front of De Gea are Phil Jones, Smalling, and Bailey, and on the two wings are the oldest two of the "Four Kings of the Red Devils"-the left king "Yang Bu" Ash Li Yang, Tai Sui "Wabushe" Valencia on the right.

——Looking at it this way, their flank strength is indeed mediocre...

However, although Valencia is now attacking and stretching the hips, it is more reliable than Danilo in defense. Mourinho, who values ​​​​defense, still chooses to trust this veteran and excludes "Danilo" from the list .

Sitting in the middle is Herrera, the "commissar of the Red Devils", and Matic, the midfielder that Manchester United poached from Chelsea, and in front of them is the offensive core Mkhitaryan.

At the top are the "Little Monster" Lukaku and the Red Devils' prince Rashford.

On the bench are Morata, Mata, Fellaini, Martial, Lingard, Blind, Romero and other 7 players.

Conte and Mourinho both chose the 352 formation!
This is probably the tacit understanding between the famous coaches!
Use the same formation to defeat the opponent! -
At 4:20 p.m., the coaches and substitute players of both sides entered the field first.

I don't know if it was intentional, but the two coaches staggered the entry time and did not create opportunities for the media who were looking forward to watching the show.

Mourinho, who entered the field later, also received a burst of applause from the home fans:
Some fans even mutinied on the spot, shouting loudly:

"Jose, welcome home!"

A cruel reality is that Conte, who has only coached at Stamford Bridge for one year, is not worthy of giving Mourinho shoes in the eyes of these fans!
And Mourinho, in the hearts of most Blues fans, can erect a statue at the gate of Stamford Bridge!
With a reserved smile on his face, Magic Bird raised his hands high to express his gratitude to these lovely fans.

Then he stood at the exit of the channel, waiting for the players to enter the field.

The first one to come was Chelsea captain Cahill. After seeing Mourinho, he was a little surprised, but immediately stretched out his right hand and hugged the former coach.

Then Courtois, Azpilicueta, Christensen, Fabregas...

Even Alonso, Rudiger, and Golovin, who were new arrivals after 2016, shook hands with Mourinho politely.

But under the attention of 4 home fans and tens of millions of TV viewers, Mourinho calmly withdrew his right hand after seeing Hazard.

Hazard also gave him a blank look, and strode past him.

As the parties involved, only they know what happened to Chelsea two years ago!

Mourinho sneered slightly in his heart, his goal had been achieved.

He just wanted to use this method to launch a wave of psychological attacks on the culprit who stabbed him in the back!
[Hazard has never been a player with a big heart. This psychological pressure will always be with him. After the game falls into a stalemate, his mentality is likely to collapse at any time! 】

Mourinho, who was sure of winning, was about to leave when he heard a voice coming from the player tunnel.

"We meet again, Jose!"

This voice sounded full of enthusiasm and intimacy, but the back of Mourinho's head buzzed!

Lee, Po, Lo!

Almost immediately, Mourinho recalled that in the 2014-2015 season, he coached Chelsea for the second time and met the new Wimbledon led by Lee Polo in the League Cup final!
That defeat would resurface in his mind time and time again in the next three years, even when he was swept by Barcelona 5-0 when he was coaching Real Madrid, he didn't remember it so deeply!
He gritted his back molars and looked at the devil walking out of the shadows.

Li Poluo stretched out his right hand to him:

"Let's have an exciting game!"

Mourinho shook hands with him with a stiff expression, and when he was about to pull it out, he found himself as if caught in a vice.

Li Poluo turned his body slightly and gave a thumbs up to the camera:
"How about a group photo?"

"The strongest football player in history, and the strongest head coach!"

The corner of Mourinho's mouth twitched, but he slandered in his heart:
[MMP, who publicly announced on the Internet that they will beat me to my knees and beg for mercy at Stamford Bridge? 】

【You hypocritical villain! 】

[Negative sentiment from Jose Mourinho, +666! 】

Not far away, Conte saw their intimate group photo and couldn't help but pouted:

[I stepped on the horse again and was ignored? 】

[Negative emotions from Conte, +233! 】
