Chapter 246 Chelsea in the Vialli Era——

On the 17th, the players of the national team finally returned to the team. After the training and competition in the national team, and the continuous long-distance flight, these international players in Alkmaar were a little tired. Jiang Mu saw that their mental and physical conditions were weak. Very general, they turned training into relaxation and gave them a day of rest and adjustment time.The next day, the team started formal training.

Because the UEFA Champions League group stage and the Dutch Cup are about to start, and there will be another consecutive week of double matches. In the next league match against Twente, Jiang Mu did not let all the international players start. The substitutes who performed well in the national team match day were selected to start the game together with the main players.

Twente is not a weak team. They are now ranked fifth in the standings. They are absolutely capable, but Alkmaar's substitutes have repaid Jiang Mu's trust in them with practical actions. The substitutes actively fight and attack , scored two goals in the first half, and basically sealed the victory. After 20 minutes in the second half, Jiang Mu sent three more main players to the field to find their status. In the end, they defeated Twente 2:1 and continued to lead the league.

Alkmaar's opponent in the first group match was Chelsea in the Premier League. Although the current Chelsea team is not the Chelsea team that Mourinho later used, and the two teams are one level behind, the strength of this Chelsea team is also extraordinary. Abramovich's willingness to acquire this team is certainly not a blind choice, and Mourinho's success at Chelsea is not without a foundation.

At the beginning of the Premier League, in the odds of winning the Premier League issued by the British Randbrox bookmaker, Manchester United ranked first at 10 to 11, Arsenal ranked second at 4 to 7, and Chelsea ranked second at 2 to 9. 1 to 14 ranked third, followed by Leeds United and Liverpool, both [-] to [-].

Gaming companies take this as a meal, and they are more reliable than ordinary people. He is so optimistic about Chelsea, which shows that Chelsea already had the strength to win the championship. There are many reasons for not being able to win the championship, including lack of a good trainer.

From the 1999 season to the 2000 season, the head coach of Chelsea was the famous Italian star Vialli. Vialli had just passed his 35th birthday. In 1998, coach Gullit dismissed get out of class at Chelsea, and Vialli became the player and coach of Chelsea. , is the youngest head coach besides Jiang Mu, but he is coaching a traditional strong team like Chelsea, which is more difficult than Jiang Mu.

In the player era, Vialli played for Sampdoria, Juventus, Chelsea and other famous clubs successively, and won many championships. He was the only player who won the championship and runner-up of the three major European cups. Season Italian Football League "top scorer".

During his coaching period at Chelsea, he won five championships in the League Cup, European Cup Winners' Cup, European Super Cup, FA Cup, and Community Shield Cup. He won No.4 in the Premier League and reached the semi-finals of the Champions League. , has received much more honors than Jiang Mu, and his reputation in world football and coaching circles is also far stronger than Jiang Mu.

Aitley, the host of British Sky Sports, claimed in an interview, "Jiang Mu's fame comes from his magic, while Vialli's fame comes from his strength."

But Aitley is also a bit exaggerated, because Vialli's success is due to his strength, but this strength is not all his. The stars in the Chelsea team are not at the same level as the unknown juniors and young boys in Alkmaar. People, like Italian striker Karasic, Danish superstar, Laudrup Jr., French team captain Didier Deschamps, main defender Leboeuf, Norwegian striker Flo, Italian superstar Zola, any one of these can be taken out. Alkmaar half team.

Chelsea has such a star, and it is not a miracle to win the European Cup Winners' Cup. Vialli's other cups are just tasteless, and the most important Champions League and League titles are still not won.

However, the situation of Chelsea this season is a bit bad. Vialli is suffering from a three-year itch. Didier Deschamps and Vialli are angry and claim that they will play in Spain next season. Leboeuf publicly disclosed it on his website Criticism of coach Vialli, Ferrer and Petrescu's conflict with Vialli also became the headlines of the newspaper.

Now Chelsea are only ranked 7th in the league, which makes the club chairman Betts feel dissatisfied. If it weren't for Vialli's outstanding record in the past, he won 5 championships and his excellent record in the Champions League. Chelsea fans would like Vialli Still support it, class is over now.

The British media can be said to be the most difficult to serve in the entire European continent. Every head coach who wants to succeed in the Premier League must learn to build a good relationship with the media.

Now that the league has just passed one-third, Chelsea still has the possibility of winning, but the British media began to send danger signals to Vialli.

"The Sun" said: Now for Vialli, the UEFA Champions League has become his life-saving straw. He must qualify from the group stage. Otherwise, with the capricious character of Chelsea chairman Betts, it is not impossible for him to dismiss midway , because no matter which boss would think, given you such a good hand, if you can’t achieve results, it must be because of your ability or attitude.

"The Times" believes that victory is the best weapon to solve Chelsea's internal conflicts. "The Italian should understand that his staffing is already the best in the Premier League. Chelsea's strikers on the bench make other teams drool. With players like this, if you don’t get the top three in the league, the fans boo you, the players are dissatisfied, the media criticizes, this is normal, if you want to make them shut up, you have to show some results.”

However, Vialli does not think that his coaching position is unstable. From the Italian point of view, although Chelsea's current record is not good, they have the hope of winning any competition. There is a lot of suspense. They are the strongest in the group in the Champions League, and they are very sure of qualifying.

In an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport in Italy, Vialli talked about his current situation and the upcoming UEFA Champions League.

"Coaching in the Premier League is always difficult. It's not the same here as in Italy. In Italy, you just have to play well. But here, you have a lot to do. The Italian coach is a manager, and the Premier League coach. But like a boss.

The English media also disrespect the feelings of the players and coaches of the team. They just want to please their readers. Not only will they report one-sidedly, they will also fabricate news, say some rumors, and artificially create conflicts, just like Now, we are only 7 points behind the leaders Manchester United, and we have not even reached half of the league. It is nonsense to say that we have no hope of winning the Champions League. .

Of course, I don’t deny that our current situation is not easy. In the Premier League, we have to catch up and wait for opponents to make mistakes. In the Champions League, we have drawn a more difficult group. Our first opponent in the group stage, Alkmaar, is very mysterious. It is difficult to guess the strength of the team. Under the leadership of Chinese coach Jiang Mu, this team has become the biggest dark horse. They are the first to qualify from the peripheral group stage, and they are one of the only three undefeated teams. If we want to beat them, we need to maintain a good attitude, don't regard them as underdogs, we must pay attention to them, uh, that is to play them as Manchester United and Arsenal.If we have such an attitude of importance, we will have no problem beating Alkmaar.I said, what matters to us now is the mentality. "

Now the world is becoming smaller and smaller due to the emergence of computers and televisions. Vialli’s words soon spread to the Netherlands and to Alkmaar. The influence of the Champions League is huge. A team that entered the Champions League group stage. At this time, the Dutch media certainly hope to hype this Champions League battle.

"The Telegraph" reporter Hendry interviewed Jiang Mu immediately, asking him to talk about his views on the game against Chelsea.

Facing a rival like Chelsea, which has more superstars than Dortmund, Jiang Mu hopes to motivate his players before the game, and he gladly accepted the interview.

"I am very happy. We reached the second group stage of the Champions League. First of all, let me complain. This group stage is simply a continuation. I have already played the group stage. What's the point of playing again? I don't know UEFA. What do you think about this arrangement? For a small club like ours, the bench thickness is very poor. It is difficult for us to play one more game, not to mention four more Champions League games.

We drew a tough group, however, the Champions League reached the last 16, no team is easy to mess with, so I have no complaints about it, no good draws, unless the weakest teams are brought together , Just like Barcelona, ​​they think it is a good signing because they are superior in strength. If we are placed in Group A, other teams will be ecstatic.Just like when Chelsea looks at us now, Coach Vialli feels that we must be valued.Because they will involuntarily despise us, this kind of contempt is hidden in their bones, and it will come out if they are not careful.

Of course I hope they look down on us, it's better to treat us like a fish, but I still want to remind Vialli and Chelsea that we are not a fish, we also want to qualify, Stamford Bridge is not hell, even if it is hell, I believe we have a chance Come out alive.Chelsea needs to correct their mentality. Since the outside world thinks this is the group of death, it means that everyone's strength is not much different. Chelsea is not as strong as Manchester United and can overlook the other three teams. Even if Chelsea is so strong, Arsenal can't even None of the peripheral group games made it out. "

Jiang Mu's words are actually very peaceful, but now Chelsea is very impetuous and in conflict. Before Vialli spoke, the main striker Sutton said that he must let Alkmaar suffer, "Is Stamford Bridge hell? , We will know when they arrive, we will definitely beat them so that they can’t find their way home.”

Ronaldinho, Alkmaar's new core, also issued a tit-for-tat response afterwards. He said in an interview with a British reporter: "Chelsea will pay the price for their arrogance, and we will definitely give them a little color at Stamford Bridge."
