Football: Starting from being abandoned by Barcelona

The next day, Mourinho slept until he woke up naturally. After a night of long travel, he woke up at noon.

The players were given a day off by him, but he himself had no time to rest. There were still many things waiting for him to deal with in the club.

After a simple lunch, Mourinho appeared in the office of the training base on time. The coaching staff was already waiting for him here.

" Gentlemen, how was your rest??" Mourinho said briskly.

The assistant coach replied:" Thank you for giving us time to rest. Everyone had a good sleep at home today and recovered well."

Mourinho nodded and said:" Very good, this crucial victory is very important for the team's confidence"

"But we cannot indulge in the joy of victory, there are more difficult tasks ahead."

He opened his laptop and pulled up the video data of the next opponent, Liverpool:" Let's start deploying Liverpool's countermeasures. This will also be a tough battle."

The coaching staff immediately got into shape, sitting around Mourinho and discussing pre-match preparations together.

"Let's talk about Cech's injury first. This directly determines how we deal with the next game. Mourinho said first

"The situation is not ideal. His ribs are broken and he may not be able to play in the rest of the season."The team doctor said with a serious look on his face as he looked at the report in his hand.

"This is really not good news, so what about the others? Eto'o, Ramires, Hazard, how are they doing?" Mourinho continued.

The doctor frowned and said:"Except for Cech, the situation of other main players is not optimistic. Eto'o's flu has not improved yet, and he may not be able to play in the next game."

" Ramirez is completely out for the season, but Torres and Hazard are just a bit tired and have some minor strains."

" Oh my god, how can we play the rest of the game like this??" Mourinho asked nervously:"How is Li Lei? Is he okay?"?"

The doctor said:" Li Lei is in good health, young and strong, and has no problems"

Mourinho heaved a sigh of relief after hearing the news:" This is the last ray of hope. If something goes wrong with him, our season will be wasted."

"Sir, I understand your anxiety"

"But we will do our best to take care of each player and ensure that they play within a safe range. You should also take care of your health. Chelsea needs your leadership."

"Okay! Let's not talk about them, let's study Liverpool's players!"Mourinho waved his hand and said.:"Okay, let’s not talk about our injuries. Let’s study Liverpool’s players."

He looked at the Liverpool starting lineup in his hand, and his heart was even more bitter.

Liverpool was now strong and powerful, without the entanglement of the cup competition, and could focus all their energy on the league.

From the points curve on the standings, we can also see their current strong strength.

" The key is to limit their trident and prevent Suarez, Sterling and Sturridge, the core players in the frontcourt, from scoring."

"Our defense line needs to be more solid, and more people need to cooperate to blockade them." Mourinho analyzed

"But the good news is that Sturridge's injury prevents him from appearing in the next game."

At this time, at the Cobham training base, Mourinho was presiding over the tactical analysis of Liverpool.

That night, the other semi-final of the Champions League, Real Madrid vs. Bayern Munich, also started on time.

After more than 90 minutes of fierce confrontation, Real Madrid won a small victory over Bayern 1:0 with the advantage of home court.

So far, the first round of the top four of this season's Champions League has all ended.

As for the final opponent, Chelsea and Real Madrid, who will laugh at the end, there is still a lot of uncertainty.

However, judging from the current points of the two rounds, Chelsea has a slight advantage with a 1:0 away advantage. Real Madrid and Bayern tied 1:0, and the situation in the second round is even more disparate.

Mourinho and the coaching staff analyzed Liverpool while paying attention to the dynamics of the Champions League.

On April 27, in the 36th round of the Premier League, Chelsea visited Anfield to face Liverpool, who was in full swing.

In this focus battle, both Liverpool fans at home and Chelsea fans who were away were extremely nervous.

Before the game, fans of both teams lined up quietly to pass through security checks. Unlike usual, there was less noise and more solemnity, like the tranquility before a powder keg was ignited.

Li Lei followed his teammates on the bus into the away team's locker room at Anfield.

In the player tunnel, Li Lei saw a banner in the hands of the fans:"Fight for the Blues until the last second!" This made him feel excited.

In the locker room, Captain Terry reminded everyone:" This is a crucial match against Liverpool, we must go all out! For Chelsea, for the dignity of the Blues!"

"Yes, Captain!" Li Lei and other teammates responded.

Terry came over and patted Li Lei on the shoulder:" In this battle, we need you to use your Asian Kung Fu to give your opponent a fatal blow!"

"I will do my best!" Li Lei said firmly

" Go ahead, boy, bring glory to Chelsea!" Terry encouraged.

Mourinho also came to Li Lei:" Remember, you are not fighting alone, but a part of the entire Blues. We are a whole!"

"Yes, Head Coach!" Li Lei gave Mourinho a serious answer.

In Gao Yi's live broadcast room, the interaction between fans was more enthusiastic than before.

"Brothers and sisters, the match between Chelsea and Liverpool is about to start. This may be our Li Shen's chance to win the first Premier League trophy! You can see that my hands are numb. I am really excited.!" Gao Yi excitedly interacted with the fans before the game started

"Yes, Mr. Gao, I can't wait any longer. The brothers and sisters in the live broadcast room must cheer and give strength to Li Shen and the Blue Army.!"

" Li Shen can definitely lead the team to victory, let us continue to maintain confidence and hope!"

"Okay everyone, the blue warriors in the arena are fighting for honor, and we should also cheer each other up in the live broadcast room!" Gao Yi said:"Are you ready? The game will start soon! Remember, never give up!"

" Come on, brothers and sisters, cheer for Li Shen together!"

" Chelsea will win! Let's witness the miracle moment together!"

" Today's game is so important. Come on Li Lei! Come on Chelsea!!"

" Teacher Gao is right, never give up! Believe in the Blues!"

"Come on! Come on! Come on! Chelsea is about to start the game!"

The interaction between fans in the entire live broadcast room was extremely enthusiastic. Everyone cheered and encouraged each other, vowing to communicate with the Blues warriors and fight for victory together!
