Chapter 408 The Special One

The new European champion coach, Jose Mourinho of Portugal, can be described as high-spirited and proud. His first press conference at Chelsea was very successful from all angles.

Mourinho said a lot in the press conference of his appearance, allowing England fans and media reporters to get a little understanding of the Portuguese's style of work, and he also succeeded in focusing on the media that originally focused on Notts County and Wei Xun. The reporters attracted more than half of them.

"This new Portuguese is much more interesting than Wei and Notts County!"

"exactly!"

Mourinho's annual salary after joining Chelsea is as high as four million pounds, which is higher than the "Red Devils" Manchester United coach Sir Alex Ferguson.

When a reporter asked how the Portuguese, with such a high salary, should lead Chelsea to win the league championship, Mourinho shrugged and responded non-committal:

"The Chelsea club has top players and supporting training facilities. If I am arrogant, I can even say that I am a top coach.

With top players, top facilities and top coaches, it's already obvious where the championship belongs.

Don't dismiss me as arrogant, and don't think that my salary is high. I am a coach who has won the European Champions Cup. I think I am a special one. "

Everyone compares you with Sir Alex Ferguson in English football. As a latecomer and a newcomer, I have to show humility no matter what, saying, "Mr. Ferguson is a person I respect", right?

But I'm sorry, the Portuguese didn't think about this at all. It went straight and happy.

Such unruly remarks naturally appeared on the headlines of major newspapers. They are all like this. You also let us not think that you are arrogant. Why are you not arrogant?

Amy Lawrence, a reporter for The Guardian, wrote in the report:

"Perhaps, coach Mourinho wants to use his exaggerated behavior to disguise his extremely sensitive and shrewd mind. If this is not the case, then the Portuguese will soon become the most narcissistic in the entire Premier League. It's really special!"

The Lawrence reporter is obviously not the only one concerned about the arrival of the "special one". Manchester United coach Sir Alex Ferguson also mentioned Mourinho's press conference in his subsequent autobiography, and the content involved is somewhat of a concern to the Portuguese. The way of criticizing without embarrassment:

"The first time I realized that Mourinho would become a potential threat was his appearance at the Chelsea press conference. Mourinho declared that he was a'special one', and I was thinking that this should be What a guy who doesn't know the height of the sky!"

However, it does not take too long for Sir Ferguson and his colleagues to realize Mourinho's special abilities.

After all, the Premier League is about to open soon. Two months have passed so quickly, and Chelsea’s opponent in the first round is Sir Ferguson’s Manchester United...

Now think about it, the guy responsible for arranging the schedule is really an individual talent!

In fact, Notts County’s opponents in the first round of the new season are not good. Notts County’s life is also difficult. They are going to play this season's Premier League champion Arsenal, which is a record of unbeaten cross-season in history. Team.

After the turmoil between Guardiola and Barcelona was settled, the discussion about the coaching position of Notts County was temporarily suspended, and the players' minds also settled down.

Originally, there were not many first-team players at the Notts County base. As soon as the training of the last few days is over, Notts County will also start taking vacations.

Most of the players of the Notts County first team are sweating in the European Cup at this time. Almost all the main players in the Notts County team have been selected:

The German team took Lahm and Klose as usual. Mertesacker, who was at the central defender, played very few games this season due to injuries, so naturally he could not be selected for the Germanic chariot.

The uncrowned king of the Dutch team suddenly wiped out half of Notts County. Van der Sar, Edgar Davis, Ovimars, Sneijder, Robben were all on the list.

At first glance, the Dutch Gang in Notts County has taken shape.

Van Persie and Kuyt, who are on the bench for the forward position of Notts County, really can't compete with Van Nistelrooy, Kluivert and Mackay.

The 34-year-old veteran Van Huetangk is in good shape at Fenerbahçe this season, and Van Persie failed to catch the last train.

The president who has just returned from injury and the former Porto defender Carvalho was successfully selected for the Portuguese national team. Looking at the long list of Porto players in the list, you know what Porto means to the Portuguese national team. Mourinho is here. In this regard, it should be contributed.

Being able to participate in the European Cup in Portugal is undoubtedly a dream for Cristiano Ronaldo wearing the No. 17 jersey.

It is worth mentioning that Deco, the midfielder of Notts County on loan in Porto, was also selected for the Portuguese national team at this European Cup.

In this competition, he will wear the No. 20 jersey and together with several teammates of the Porto club, he will fight for Portugal.

But Wei Xun doesn't care about these. Anyway, Deco now has a Portuguese passport and there is no obstacle to joining the Premier League.

For the Italian national team, Cannavaro was only selected in Notts County, Montolivo, Chiellini and Barzagli were not selected, and the marginal international Fabio Grosso also lost.

Although they have unlimited potential, they are still unable to compete for a position with Zambrotta, Nesta, Panucci, and Materazzi.

Many French players in the Notts County team were not selected for the Gaul Roosters of this European Cup. Valbuena and Malouda are not the only ones. Frank Ribery is heartbroken. Isn’t his performance worse than that? The defeated Marseille striker Marais?

"This **** pick!"

...

Wei Xun has already happily said to Abramovich on the phone that he is ready to watch Manchester United's jokes in the new season, so that the Russians can give some strength to the transfer window.

The efficiency of the Russians is really high!

A few days before the start of the 2004 European Cup, the two South American players in the Chelsea team were quickly dealt with by the club:

Both Veron and Crespo, who were not in the Mourinho plan, were loaned to Serie A, and the two who played for Milan City wore both red and white and blue and black shirts.

Mourinho hopes to allow his direct line of players in Porto to join Chelsea, by the way, also reduce the number of Chelsea's first team players.

But Da Costa of the Porto Club is not a believable man. It is completely impossible for Porto’s main player, the Portuguese national team member, to pay no real money.
