Chapter 527

On the evening of August 23, Middlesbrough Riverside Stadium, England.

When Middlesbrough coach Southgate walked into the press conference, there was a burst of warm applause, which immediately made Mourinho, the head coach of the visiting team Chelsea, look ugly.

After defeating Manchester City 3-0 at home in the first round of the league, the Portuguese madman was full of confidence in his team and strongly stated that Chelsea's victory will continue and lead the Premier League from the beginning.

It is obvious that after introducing powerful stars such as Shevchenko, Barack, Mikel and Bolaruze this summer, Mourinho is full of confidence in his team, and the first round of the league also gave him enough confidence.

But unexpectedly, he was hit by a blow in the second round at the Riverside Stadium.

Southgate's team started the game not ideally. It was scored by Chelsea just fifteen minutes later. Shevchenko scored his first goal since joining the team. After that, the Blues' performance did not diminish at all, creating opportunities continuously, but they never turned the opportunity into goals.

Until the second half, Chelsea finally paid the price for their frequent squanders. Middlesbrough used a set piece opportunity to sneak a goal to equalize the score. Australian striker Viduka scored another goal in stoppage time, helping Middlesbrough reverse Chelsea at home.

This game was like a red palm print slapping on the face of a Portuguese madman, and the applause of media reporters who were afraid that the world would not be messed with was more like a sarcasm and sarcasm for Mourinho.

The two coaches just sat down. At the beginning of the press conference, Southgate was just an opening remark, and then all the media focused their targets on Mourinho, especially in the defeat.

But unexpectedly, the Portuguese madman turned against the high profile he had before the game.

"To be honest, I'm not disappointed. I'm really not disappointed if I lose this game. We can't blame the referee, the opponent, the luck, I can't blame myself for being too bad, so I'm not disappointed."

"We were surprised that Middlesbrough was able to reverse because they suddenly exerted their strength from 80 minutes, putting us a lot of pressure and finally won the game, which surprised us, but we didn't have such a performance and commitment in previous games, which made us lose the game."

At the end of his speech, Mourinho also admitted frankly, "Middlesburg's fighting spirit is indeed much stronger than ours. I think we should accept this defeat calmly and learn from it."

As for what the media reporter suggested, the team will welcome Blackburn on the weekend, Mourinho also encouraged his players.

"Losing a game is not a disaster. The most important point is that we should know why we can win the league championship for two consecutive years. We must know that I am very clear, but I hope the players also know that it is definitely not the attitude tonight, I can guarantee it."

It is obvious that Mourinho believes that the team's defeat was because there was a problem with the players' attitude and did not focus on the game.

But some media reporters keenly captured the mistakes in his words.

"Mr. Mourinho, I think I should remind you that Chelsea has won the Premier League championship for three consecutive years."

As soon as the reporter finished speaking, an uproar came to mind at the scene. Countless reporters secretly praised the reminder's wit.

Everyone knows that Gao Han is Mourinho's reverse scale. Whoever mentions Gao Han in front of the Portuguese will definitely be sprayed to death by his saliva. Mourinho has never been willing to admit that the one Gao Han won before him was also the first Premier League championship trophy in the club's history.

So, he has always said that Chelsea has won two consecutive championships.

Now reminding him that he has won three consecutive championships, he is undoubtedly disgusting him.

Looking at the disgusting expression of the Portuguese eating a fly, the unscrupulous reporters secretly felt a little happy.

I'm going to get angry!

But there is still a fire.

So soon another reporter stood up and asked a question.

"Mr. Mourinho, the third round of the UEFA Champions League qualifiers have all ended, all 32 teams participating in the group stage have been announced, and UEFA has officially announced the division of the top 32 teams."

The reporter had a long question. At first, everyone thought he was a little nagging, but as they listened, they all became excited.

Too smart, is that?

It was actually possible to come up with such a problem.

Especially when Mourinho's expression on the stage became increasingly ugly, the reporters below were so excited that they were like blood.

The reporter who asked the question also deliberately paused and continued to ask questions.

"May I ask, Mr. Mourinho, how do you think that Liverpool, which ranked third in the Premier League last season, and Inter Milan, who missed the Champions League, were both ranked first, while Chelsea, who won three consecutive Premier League titles, was only ranked second?"

As soon as the question was asked, the reporter below wanted to set off firecrackers to celebrate. This question was the best powder barrel.

Sure enough, Mourinho's face changed suddenly and his tone became angry.

"Yes, I have no doubt that such a grading standard is problematic." The Portuguese madman replied unceremoniously.

"I believe that the results of the previous season are the real judging criteria. Yes, Liverpool won the UEFA Champions League two years ago, but fell by Chelsea by as much as 30 in the league. Last season, we were nine points behind us in the league and only ranked third, while Arsenal, who reached the Champions League final last season, only won fourth in the league."

"It's obvious that such a rating is unfair to us, because we all know that the league can test the overall strength and stable performance of a team. However, in the new season's Champions League, Liverpool and Arsenal won the first seed team, but we can only be ranked second."

When he said this, Mourinho deliberately paused before continuing.

"As for Inter Milan, I think it's even more funny. They couldn't even play in the Champions League last season. Although they won a League Cup championship, we all know how much moisture this cup is, but they also ranked first-tier seeds. Doesn't anyone think this is a joke?"

"I admire Gao Han for having the courage to reveal the truth about the phone gate incident, but I don't know if he has the courage to reveal the truth about the Champions League group stage division?" Mourinho shook his head and smiled, "I doubt this."

The reporters below suddenly became excited like crazy.

It seems that Mourinho is really popular, and he actually directly confronts Gao Han. It's so exciting. Is there anyone there?

Another reporter immediately stood up and asked: "Mr. Mourinho, based on the current division situation, Chelsea has a great hope of drawing Inter Milan in the Champions League group stage. What do you think?"

"What can I think?" Mourinho shook his head. "If I were asked to choose the team I wanted to meet the most, it would definitely be Inter Milan. I believe that my team and I will prove to everyone with their strength and tell them that not all teams are competent for the Champions League seeds."

The reporters were busy recording Mourinho's speech, and each of them was full of excitement.

There will be a hot topic in the next few days.

Many people have even thought of the title long ago.

Mourinho angrily confronts Gao Han!

Mourinho accused Inter Milan of unfairly placing the tier: Inter Milan is not worthy of the seed team!

Thinking about this type of title makes people excited.

…………

…………

Mourinho's remarks quickly occupied the pages of major media around the world.

As the most attractive head coach of Gao Han after Gao Han, Mourinho bombarded Gao Han. This is definitely the hot topic that the media desires the most and has attracted the attention of fans all over the world.

After the news was just reported, many fans of Gao Han and Inter Milan accused Mourinho of his remarks, believing that this was irresponsible and that it was suspected of relying on Gao Han to attract popularity.

But some Mourinho fans believe that this is the Portuguese venting their inner injustice.

According to the lottery plan, the seed teams assigned to the first level often take advantage of some advantages, while the teams in the second level will definitely be more tragic, and even if a group is accidentally killed, it is likely to encounter death.

However, someone soon stood up and publicly accused Mourinho of his remarks.

Inter Milan's main winger, Gao Han's favorite player Cristiano Ronaldo reminded Mourinho in an interview with the media that he would better think about whether he is really willing to draw Inter Milan.

"I think no team is willing to be forced to compete with the other two teams for the second in the group before the game starts?"

Although they are both Portuguese, Cristiano Ronaldo believes that "Inter Milan does not need to be afraid of any opponent. In the past season, we have proved with facts that we are an invincible army on the football field. No matter who our opponent is, as long as we play our strengths at our own pace, we will not be afraid of any team."

"Yes, Chelsea waved the money in their hands and recruited many stars. Shevchenko and Barack were both world superstars, but we are not bad either. After every game, we always tell our opponents with facts that victory will always belong to us Inter Milan!"

Ibrahimovic, who once played for Chelsea, asked more directly, "Is Chelsea strong now? Can they surpass our legendary season? Can they?"

Perron also said that Inter Milan is very sure against Chelsea, and also hinted that Chelsea under Mourinho is more powerful, but not as delicate as the season coached by Gao Han.

Blues captain John Terry admitted in an interview with The Times that he was eager to lead the team to the Champions League, which was his dream.

"If we can win the Champions League, it will definitely be recorded in history. Each of our players is eager to achieve this goal. This summer we have introduced several superstars and strong players, which shows the club's ambition. We are strong and have almost no weaknesses. We have the ability to go further in the Champions League."

But when the reporter asked about Mourinho's desire to meet Inter Milan, Terry stammered and finally replied with a wry smile, "I think the best situation is that we meet with Inter Milan in the final."

As a new player who just joined this season, Shevchenko can't wait to conquer the Champions League for Chelsea.

"The Champions League is one of the most important events. I am eager to win the Champions League with the Blues and realize my dream that has not been realized in years."

Shevchenko also said that Chelsea does have the strength to challenge Inter Milan.

But what he implies is that the Blues are somewhat inferior to Inter Milan.

However, from Mourinho igniting the war to the players on both sides' statements, coupled with the crazy hype of media reporters and fans, the upcoming Champions League group stage draw has attracted much attention.

Gao Han also led the team to Monaco on the weekend to prepare for the upcoming European Super Cup against Barcelona.
