Football's Number One Madman

Chapter 95
FA Cup, League Cup, UK Championship.

These are the three domestic cup competitions a League Two team can play in.

The championship bonuses of the three are 200 million, 100 million, and 10 respectively. You should be able to see their status and weight...

For Wimbledon, they have just entered the round of 16 in the FA Cup, while the League Cup and the UK Championship have entered the finals.

In other words, theoretically speaking, they are only two games away from winning the "double crown".

But unfortunately, the first opponent they encountered was a huge monster.

Chelsea! -
"Jose, what do you think of Wimbledon?"

That was the question heard by manager Jose Mourinho after Chelsea's 2-20 draw at home to Burnley on February 1.

Without hesitation, he blurted out:

"Wimbledon? The tennis tournament there is very famous. As you all know, I have always been a fan of Murray. I am very sorry that he failed to defend his title last year, so I will wish him the championship there this year."

The reporter froze for a moment, and saw Mourinho suddenly realize:
"Ah, sorry, sorry, I misunderstood your question, you are asking about our opponents in the Carling Cup, right? They are very strong, showing a strong dominance in League Two, leading No.2 by more points than us It's going to be a great game!"

The reporter pouted:
[You bad old man, you are very bad! 】

But he immediately opened his laptop and typed out a very standard article title:
"Mourinho: Wimbledon? Tennis is famous there!"

Anyway, this is indeed what you said yourself, I can't be regarded as a headline party, right?
-
Only 10 minutes later, Wimbledon players saw this video through the developed Internet media.

Lee Polo also heard Mourinho's friendly wishes to Murray, and then... nothing more.

The clever self-media reporter directly cut off the subsequent supplementary speech, portraying Mourinho as arrogant and rude.

But isn't this the favorite thing for people who eat melons?

"Madman" and "the most special one", the reason why Mourinho's current public image bears these labels is that he himself is obviously happy to see it, and even enjoys it.

Among the coaches of his time, he is undoubtedly the one who is best at using the media, bar none!

It can not only build momentum for yourself, but also interfere with your opponent!
The Kuangbang players were all yelling:

"This Portuguese is really crazy!"

"Tomorrow I'll go to London and blow his dog's head off!"

"They can't even beat Burnley, which is ranked 19th, so what confidence do they have to win against us?"

"We can kill Manchester United 4:0, even if Chelsea is better than Manchester United, then we can win at least two!"

Seeing the restless speeches of his teammates, Lee Polo simply turned off his cell phone and took off his pants.

What's the use of swearing now?

Wash and sleep!
-
Due to the conflict with the FA Cup, the 31st round of the league was also postponed. Counting the previous 28th round, Wimbledon has already missed two league games.

They played two fewer games, and their advantage in the standings has been reduced from the previous highest of 17 points to the current 10 points. The Shrewsbury, Burton, and Wycombe Wanderers in the Second Army seem to see the opportunity to catch up again. hope.

On the spinach platform, regarding the ownership of the League Two champions, this handicap finally appeared a little loose, and the odds of Kuangbang winning the championship changed from 1 to 1.35 to 1 to 1.65.

Just the day after the video of Mourinho blessing Murray was released, on February 2, Wimbledon almost overturned in the 21nd round of the league.

Facing the fifth-ranked Luton, the crazy gang, who had a large rotation, was forced to 90:2 in 2 minutes of regular time!

Adelaide has no choice, almost always has a double match a week, he has to arrange stronger players to play in the cup, and only Aziz, Frankamp, ​​Connolly can participate in this league , Moore, Reeves, Suterland, Sweeney, Werner and other rotation players.

The absolute main players such as Lee Polo, Dubis, and Rigg were directly excluded from the 18-man roster. Fortunately, the two captains, Fuller and Smith, recovered from their injuries in time. Draw two little guys to round up the numbers for the back line...

But I have to say that Adre's life is still hard enough. The veteran Connolly, who came off the bench at the last moment, completed a lore goal in the 3rd minute of stoppage time, turning a tie into a three-pointer!
In other matches in the same round, Shrewsbury, who was originally ranked second, overturned unexpectedly and lost 2:3 away to Tranmere, who ranked 22nd. The No.3 surpassed the past.

Wimbledon continues to lead the standings with 74 points, and now ranked second is Burton with 63 points.

Their lead extended from 10 to 1 point...

Competitors are not up to date, who can blame this?
The spinach handicap quietly changed from 1:1.65 to 1:1.30.

You go up and down every day, aren't you tired?
-
Now that the league advantage is obvious, Adres simply gritted his teeth and implemented the rotation system to the end.

In order to make way for the League Cup, the 33rd round of the league was brought forward to February 2.

Although the players only rested for less than four days, Adelaide still set up this rotation lineup, allowing Lee Polo and other main players to continue to rest.

After all, the opponent is only the bottom-ranked deputy squad leader-Hartlip.

Then... No one created a miracle this time. Wimbledon played against the opponent for a full 90 minutes in the away game, but the two sides failed to score a goal.

The second-ranked Burton was even more unfortunate than Kuangbang, losing directly to Newport 0:1 at home.

Third-ranked Shrewsbury lost 1-2 to Northampton.

Wycombe, ranked fourth, drew with Stevenage 2:2.

As a result, Wimbledon, with 75 points, expanded its lead in the standings to 12 points...

It doesn't matter if you don't play well.

It's the same in any industry, it all depends on the peers!

When the England national team has not won a major championship for decades, they should change their direction and take a look at some superpowers with thousands of years of civilization and a population of more than one billion.

Not to mention winning the World Cup, they haven't even played the World Cup a few times!
It's you, India!
-
2 month 28 day.

The 2014-15 League Cup final is just 24 hours away.

For the first time, Lee Polo came to Wembley Stadium, the holy place of British football.

As the home court of the England national team, this stadium certainly has five-star hardware and software facilities.

In fact, the new Wembley Stadium, which was rebuilt in 2007, is itself the largest stadium in Europe, and it is almost recognized as the greatest football stadium in the football field.

The four-story grandstand has a seating capacity of 90000, which is nearly 20 times that of the King's Turf Stadium!
If calculated according to the minimum of 30 pounds for a ticket, this is 270 million pounds!
According to the distribution ratio of the organizers, Wimbledon can get at least 100 million pounds in ticket revenue!

In this global live broadcast of the finals, they can still get hundreds of thousands of broadcast share!

Even if you don't win the final championship, the runner-up can still get hundreds of thousands of bonuses!
The general manager of Kuangbang, Powell, laughed from ear to ear.

He had already imagined that after this match, he would no longer have to worry about financial problems in the next three years! ——
Remarks:

I haven't found the ticket price for the League Cup in 2015. I only refer to the price in 2021.In fact, a large part of the tickets will be provided free of charge to both sides of the competition, the media, the organizer, and the British royal family, so there is no way to make specific statistics.
