Chapter 409 Tottenham fans sing the Real Madrid team song (+2k)

"Chelsea!"

Boom!

"Chelsea!"

Boom!

Chelsea's attack was severely restricted by Tottenham, but in the end Jiang Yuan scored a goal when only half of the first half was over.

Tottenham fans blew the whistle, thinking that Jiang Yuan's shoulder hit Kyle Walker was a foul, but referee Atkinson did not say anything and pointed to the center circle to confirm that the goal was valid.

"Clap clap clap!"

Mourinho clapped and cheered in front of the home team's bench.

As is the Portuguese's habit, he would become very excited whenever a player in his team scored a goal.

But many fans found that Mourinho was very calm today. Even though Chelsea scored the first goal against Tottenham Hotspur in such a rare occasion, there was no reaction on his face at all!

I guess he was made to behave himself by Real Madrid.

In the 30th minute of the game, some familiar faces appeared in front of the benches of both teams, and Batshuayi and Nkoudou began to warm up.

"Are we starting to warm up now? It seems like both Chelsea and Tottenham are a bit nervous today."

"But Tottenham is also awesome. If they are nervous, they might as well put Eriksen on the field directly. Other players should also not hold back and play the game with all their strength. There is a high probability that Chelsea will beat Tottenham well."

"Pochettino is a talent. Tottenham are not invincible in the league this season. They still want to win two championships at the same time."

"Batshuayi and Nkoudou are the ones the coach has put on the bench to keep them alive. Neither of them will play... You don't need to tell me, I know they won't play right away."

"Hey, you didn't understand what I meant. What I meant was that Tottenham should take this game more seriously. Pochettino is too pretentious. Isn't this just giving us money?"

The last sentence exposes his true colors. Although Pochettino's starting lineup seems a bit uncomfortable, it seems that he even looks down on Chelsea.

However, the fact is that because of Eriksen's absence, Akun can be very confident in betting on Chelsea to win.

A Kun chatted with the viewers in the live broadcast room for 40 minutes without explaining the content of the game.

And at this critical time point of 40 minutes, A Kun could no longer sit still.

"Dembele! Dembele dribbled the ball and went straight to the baseline. He seemed to want to switch positions with Son Heung-min."

"Dembele, what do you want to do? Just pass it to Ali, and Ali will pass it to the right."

"The one with the ball now is... Oh! It's Vincent Janssen, the brother who started for Eriksen"

"Directly pass the ball into the penalty area! Jansen, what are you doing? Jansen, you are not Eriksen. How can you pass the ball like this..."

"Hey, the ball went in!?"

"Fuck! Kane scores! Damn it!"

Bang bang bang!
The sound of someone smashing the keyboard violently was heard in the live broadcast room. A Kun hit the keyboard three times in a row, directly knocking off the five keycaps on his mechanical keyboard.

Kane, you are so ignorant. I bet on Chelsea to win, but you insisted on scoring a goal!

"My day..."

A Kun crawled all over the room looking for his keycaps. In the end, he found 4 of them. There was still one left, so he could only wait until the live broadcast was over to look for it again.

"No, Kane, why do you want to score a goal!"

A Kun did not show his face in the live broadcast room, but the viewers seemed to be able to see him holding his head with his hands.

This is not because the viewers can see A Kun’s expression through the computer screen, but because holding his head with both hands is the current state of the viewers in the live broadcast room.

They followed A Kun to buy it. 3/4 of the Happy Beans players in the live broadcast room bought Chelsea’s exclusive win.

Ruined!
"Bang bang bang bang!"

There were drum sounds coming from Wembley Stadium, and loyal Tottenham fans were waving their scarves around their necks. Many even held signs with portraits of Tottenham players, making it like a concert.

"My fault my fault!"

Ake ran from outside the penalty area to the penalty area and high-fived Courtois who was standing on the goal line.

Mourinho had a serious expression. Ever since he was treated like a toy by Ronaldo in the second leg against Real Madrid, Ake's condition has not been particularly good. When Dembele passed the ball just now, Ake and the Belgian were less than 1 meter apart. According to conventional thinking, Ake could never let Dembele pass the ball to the right so easily.

It's not just Ake who is a typical example. In fact, several Chelsea defenders had some problems with their mentality after the game with Real Madrid.

Jansen made a 45-degree cross with only angle but no speed. Zouma and Cahill should have been able to kick the ball out very easily, but neither Zouma nor Cahill did so.

Man, this kind of low-quality cross can hardly pose a threat to the goal in the English League One, let alone the Premier League!
Can't this be prevented?

"Use your brain!"

"Kick more boldly!"

Mourinho put his hands in his suit pockets and shouted a few words to Ake on the field.

The subsequent camera turned to Pochettino. This guy is also a real talent. It was obviously a goal scored by his side, but Pochettino became even more nervous.

Kane has to take the blame for this. The head coach was planning to give up the game, and you suddenly gave him hope. What should Pochettino do?
We have to put all our efforts into it!

"Vincent, you can go a little further!"

"Eric (Dyer)! Remember, when attacking, you have to go to the wing, the wing!"

Although the score was 1:1, Pochettino was obviously more active than Mourinho.

However, as the Tottenham coach, Pochettino overlooked a key point that he should not have overlooked, that is, when facing a team like Chelsea, you must never push the central defender who is protecting behind forward or to the side.

Snapped!
In the 44th minute, Zouma's long pass from the backcourt accurately found Jiang Yuan. Jiang Yuan ran forward while observing that the long pass from his French teammate had basically no rotation, and it would not be easy to stop the ball directly.

Fortunately, Jiang Yuan found that Ibrahimovic was right next to him, so he raised his right leg and kicked the long pass from Zouma to Ibrahimovic.

"go!"

Ibrahimovic shouted. In fact, Jiang Yuan knew what he should do now without Ibrahimovic reminding him.

That is to go straight forward.

Ibrahimovic knew that Jiang Yuan was accelerating very quickly. In order to avoid offside in the attack, the Swede simply gave up turning around and used his heel to kick a straight pass to Jiang Yuan.

Before passing the ball, Ibrahimovic was busy confronting Alderweireld and didn't even use his eyes to observe Jiang Yuan's position.

Passing the ball relies solely on body perception.

"Ibrahimovic's great heel pass!"

"It's okay. Jiang Yuan's center of gravity is a little unstable. OK, I controlled the ball."

"Although it took some time to adjust the ball, this position is already very close to a one-on-one opportunity. Dell rushed towards Jiang Yuan from the side."

"Stretch out your arms to block Jiang Yuan's position!"

"Damn, this Dell made Jiang Yuan feel a little uncomfortable. But Dell shouldn't dare to make any exaggerated movements, because he is the last defensive player besides the goalkeeper. If he pulls Jiang Yuan down at this time, Dell will most likely be sent off!"

"Brother Yuan, why don't you just fall to the ground and give Tottenham a red card!"

A Kun’s idea is good, but Jiang Yuan doesn’t think so.

Dell is a very smart guy. No matter what, he just keeps his arms in front of Jiang Yuan to block his position. From the beginning to now, he has not stretched out his legs or made any unnecessary movements with his hands.

Jiang Yuan's experience of playing in the Premier League told him that the referee would not call a foul on Dale if he fell to the ground after this level of confrontation.

Since he couldn't reduce the opponent's manpower, Jiang Yuan's only option was to score this one-on-one shot.

As Jiang Yuan slowly approached, goalkeeper Lori rushed out of the small penalty area, and he and Dale stood in front and on the side, trying to block Jiang Yuan's shooting angle.

Jiang Yuan had seen this kind of situation too many times. He just swung his right leg out, pretending to shoot, and the next second Dell fell forward.

As a result, when Dell was lying on the ground, he found that Jiang Yuan's shot was a fake shot, and his right foot knocked the ball to the left.

Switch to your left foot and start again!

Snapped!
The ball passed between Lori's legs and rolled quickly into the goal.

"GOOOOO-AAAAAAAAA-LLLLLLLL!!!!"

"The ball went in. Holy shit, it really went in!"

"Brilliant!"

Just 1 seconds into the one-minute stoppage time in the first half, Jiang Yuan made a textbook-level one-on-one shot, successfully helping Chelsea take the lead again.

The injury time was over, but the players continued to celebrate.

The score in the first half was fixed at 2:1!
"Wohoo!"

Ibrahimovic pulled Jiang Yuan up from the ground, then carried Jiang Yuan to the bottom of the stands.

Feeling the push from his butt, Jiang Yuan realized that Ibrahimovic wanted to throw him into the stands, and quickly resisted: "Fuck, get out of here!"

"Hahaha, what are you afraid of!"

When Ibrahimovic tried to push him, Jiang Yuan's mind was only on the time when he jumped onto the stands of the Dragon Stadium during his time at Porto and was stripped down to his pants.

He will never jump into the stands again in his life!
The first half of the game ended with the halftime score at 2:1, and players from both teams began to slowly walk towards the player tunnel.

"Jiang, come on! Jiang!"

"FA Cup champion!"

"Win a championship, please!"

Chelsea were the league champions last season, and the season before that. The fans really don’t want to suddenly not have a title this season.

If this is true, they won't be able to accept it!
Because he didn't have enough confidence to answer the fans' questions, Jiang Yuan simply pretended not to hear them. Just at this moment, Zouma ran up from behind, and the Frenchman began to brag about his exquisite long pass.

"Can't you add some spin to the ball? How can I stop the ball without spin?"

When they reached the corner of the player tunnel, the noisy noise outside suddenly dropped by more than half, and the sudden quiet environment made the players feel comfortable.

This is also an important part of the halftime break. When playing football, not only the muscles are tense, but the players' spirits are also completely tense.

"What choice did I make at that time? Harry rushed to my face. If I adjusted, the ball would be intercepted. If the ball was intercepted, we would fall behind!"

Zouma had his own reasons, and Jiang Yuan could not find any reason to refute him for a while. Just then, Terry came in from the corner and heard what Zouma said accurately, so he walked up and hugged the Frenchman's neck: "Long pass plus rotation is not a difficult thing, you just need to make adjustments before you swing your leg to touch the ball. The ball you passed was high and fast, and it was difficult for the striker to handle it."

Terry grabbed Zouma's neck fiercely and said, "Brother Snail, you need to practice more!"

"To be honest, I didn't expect you to give me the ball."

Ibrahimovic suddenly laughed because he somehow got an assist.

"Ah? Zlatan, you are talking about..."

"It was that one-on-one opportunity before the end of the first half. I thought you handled it yourself."

oh oh!

Jiang Yuan pointed at Zouma and said, "This idiot threw me a high and fast long pass. I'm not Eden, how can I stop that kind of ball?"

Zuma is really something. He knew Jiang Yuan's ball-stopping ability was average, but he still insisted on passing the ball to Jiang Yuan in such an awkward way. Of course, it was not directed at Jiang Yuan. Zuma always passed the ball to anyone.

"Fuck? What are you doing standing at the door? Come in now!"

Mourinho hurried over and found that all his players were gathered at the door of the locker room chatting. He trotted over and pushed Kante and Ake by the waist into the room.

"Jose, you must develop a better long pass training plan for Kurt next season. This guy's pass is too outrageous."

Jiang Yuan complained to Mourinho, who waved his hand and said: "Let's talk about next season next season. Let's deal with today's game first. Although we are leading, I still see a lot of problems."

"Especially Natan!"

Mourinho pointed at Ake who was sitting in the corner. After being pointed at by Mourinho, Ake didn't dare to speak.

very scary!
"Um...my question, sorry, sorry..."

Ake raised his hand to question his teammates in the locker room. He knew very well that his game form in the past week had been average. When Mourinho said this today, Ake was embarrassed to death.

"Jesus, I haven't even told you what the problem is, and you're apologizing first?"

Mourinho looked at Ake speechlessly, and the latter didn't know what to say.

It is said that the fans who support players are the most sorry when they are in poor form, but in fact, for the players themselves, the feelings of their teammates and coaches are the most intuitive, because they see them almost every day.

If you don't play well in the game, you will definitely be very embarrassed when chatting with other teammates in the locker room, just like Ake is now!
Mourinho took a step towards Ake and said, "I heard you, Natan. I don't care how you played in the previous games. I need you to be bolder in today's game. Why not be bolder?"

Mourinho came over and put his hands on Ake's shoulders. Ake, feeling something was wrong, wanted to stand up and apologize, but as soon as his butt left the bench, Mourinho pushed him back down: "Think about what you did in the first half. Did you stretch your feet once when you were defending in the first half? What I need is a cautious defensive player, not a timid defensive player."

"It's not Cristiano on the other side, what are you afraid of?"

Ake was the most prominent link in Chelsea's first half and was the main problem. Of course, Chelsea's problems are definitely not just Ake. Mourinho emphasized some key points with the players in the following time.

"When Walker is defending Jiang, we should have at least two players to support him. We need to get enough points to pass the ball so that we can better break the defense. Their forwards don't return to defense as often as we do, so we should take advantage of the number of players instead of playing like fools."

"Make up for the difference in numbers, ok?"

Before he knew it, Mourinho walked to Jiang Yuan's face. The latter looked up at Mourinho, while Mourinho looked down at Jiang Yuan.

"Um...Jose, I'm a striker. You said we should use the advantage of numbers when attacking. This doesn't seem to have anything to do with me."

"I know it doesn't matter. I'm telling this to everyone. I just happened to walk by your side."

Mourinho put his hands back in his pockets and continued walking, and soon came to Hazard again.

"Forehead……"

……

The second half of the game was about to start. At this time, there were already 4 people in front of Tottenham's bench. It was even more exaggerated on Chelsea's side. Mourinho asked Terry, Alonso, Falcao and Moses to start warming up at the same time. Including Batshuayi who was already twisting his butt in the first half, there were already 5 people in front of Chelsea's bench.

Jiang Yuan, who walked out of the player tunnel, noticed this situation. He looked at Mourinho in confusion, tilted his head and spread his hands, as if to say "what?"

Mourinho gave a thumbs up, and Hazard pulled Jiang Yuan over and explained in a low voice.

Jiang Yuan then realized that bringing the players on the bench up to warm up was part of Mourinho's tactics.

Pochettino brought in four people, and it seemed that he was going to do something big. At this time, Mourinho must not give in and must bring in more players.

Mourinho used this approach to tell Pochettino that he knew what tricks he was going to do.

But in fact Mourinho knows nothing.

"Beep!"

At the beginning of the second half, Tottenham's frontcourt, led by Kane, suddenly increased the frequency of pressing, making Zouma and Cahill very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, there is Kante in the defensive midfielder position. For Kante, whose running position can cover the entire defensive midfielder line, it is too easy to break Tottenham's high-pressure pressing.

The forward can only press one defender at a time, but Kante can connect with two defenders at the same time in one run. This also made Kante a transport machine for Chelsea's midfield and backcourt in the second half, and every time the ball couldn't be passed, it found Kante.

Kante has many ways of handling the ball. He can run with the ball himself, or he can pass it to Pogba and let his French compatriot with a wider field of vision handle the ball.

Of course Kante can also do it himself.

"Kante, pass the ball directly to Hazard!"

"Hazard, stop the ball very steadily. Nice!"

"I found that the ability of Chelsea's frontcourt players to receive through balls is really good, especially Hazard, who has very steady feet!"

Hazard showed perfect control of the ball, and then wanted to show his excellent dribbling skills in front of the Tottenham defenders. Unfortunately, the Belgian seemed to have some problems with the environment at Wembley Stadium, and he slipped and fell directly to the ground.

"Fuck!"

Hazard sat on the ground with his hands spread out, feeling a little sorry for his mistake in this attack.

Considering that the continuous heavy rain in the past few days made the grass at Wembley Stadium a bit slippery, Hazard's slip was not a particularly serious mistake.

But just after Hazard slipped, a very strange scene occurred on the court.

"Historia que tu hiciste~"

"Historia por hacer~" "Porque nadie resiste~"

"Tus ganas de vencer!"

The sound came from Tottenham fans, but they were not singing Tottenham's own team song, but...

Real Madrid team anthem!

"Madrid madrid madrid~"

"Hala madrid!"

"Hala madrid!"

The director also liked to create trouble. Even though the attack was still going on, he directly gave the camera to the away team's fans' stands. Nearly 2 Tottenham fans sang "Hala Madrid y Nada Más" loudly, and the sound echoed throughout the Wembley Stadium.

The pronunciation of words was very irregular, and many fans were holding pieces of paper to read the lyrics. From these situations, it can be seen that most of the Tottenham fans at the scene learned the Real Madrid team song on the spot!
[Damn, Tottenham are so good at playing, aren’t they trying to mess with Chelsea’s mentality? ]

[Awesome, who came up with this idea? But to be honest, it would have been more effective for Spurs to sing the Real Madrid team song in this game than to sing their own team song. Chelsea lost to Real Madrid just a few days ago, and the players probably haven’t gotten over the game yet]

[Hazard made me laugh to death. Wasn’t Hazard a complete idiot in this game? Why did I feel that Hazard played a little funny today?]

[Chelsea's victory should be a sure thing, but why do British teams sing Spanish team songs during games? 】

[Nothing can stop Tottenham fans from playing. They beat Chelsea twice in the league, and they want to beat them in the FA Cup, right?]

[Singing is useless, Chelsea are not leading yet]

[The guy above, you underestimated the impact of Real Madrid's team song on Chelsea. You didn't watch the game that day. After losing to Real Madrid, Chelsea players were like they had lost their souls.]

[Come on, King Jiang, I bought your hat trick, only one left, go for it!!!]

[Chinese people should help Chinese people. Xiao Jiang scores one more goal. I will wash your feet after the game tonight!]

[Brother, my last name is Jiang too, can you please wash my feet? I am satisfied with a plain foot bath]

Fans in A Kun's live broadcast room were still discussing the Real Madrid team song sung by Tottenham fans, and the on-site director had already found the cause of the singing.

Not long after the start of the second half, a group of 10 Tottenham fans were throwing rolled-up notes from the top of the third tier of the stadium, shouting as they threw things. Needless to say, they wanted the fans on the second tier to help throw the notes to the first tier.

Fans of the home team usually show great unity, and the Tottenham fans in the away stands are the same. It only took 5 or 6 minutes for the white notes to be thrown all over the away stands, and one out of every three Tottenham fans had a note in his hand.

The staff in the stands were holding the note and reading it. The director chose the camera hanging at the top of the stadium and focused the 35x lens to show the content on the note to the fans in the live broadcast room.

【emodo～coming sita～】

【neymar is so powerful～】

【Rolls key～……】

This.

This is the English lip-synced version of the Real Madrid team anthem!

I thought this was a clever trick that Tottenham fans came up with accidentally.

I didn't expect it was premeditated!

This is an organized and disciplined crime!
Azpilicueta kicked the ball from Janssen's feet out of the sideline, and Son Heung-min stretched out three fingers towards the stands, indicating that he wanted to catch up the score from 2:1 to 2:3.

"Jose!"

Brown knew Mourinho quite well. After hearing the Real Madrid team song, he was afraid that Mourinho would do something impulsive to the visiting team's stands, so he quickly stood up from his chair on the bench and walked to Mourinho.

As long as the Portuguese shows any intention of running towards the visiting team's fan area, Brown will definitely grab him at the first moment.

As expected, Mourinho ran towards the visiting team's bench. Brown was quick to pull Mourinho back and said, "Jose, calm down, calm down, stay calm!"

"I'm going to beat their head coach to death"

Mourinho's face flushed.

I don’t know if the songs sung by Tottenham fans affected the players on the field, but the coaches outside the field were definitely affected.

Mourinho is already popular!
“Leon, why, why did you pull me?”

Mourinho kept trying to pull his arm out of Brown's hand, but the Portuguese was only about 175 cm tall and was no match for Brown.

"Jose, you need to calm down now, we are ahead now, let them sing, it's okay"

Brown grabbed Mourinho back, and the latter wanted to resist. Terry and Alonso, who were sitting on the bench, hurried up and the two of them worked together to control Mourinho.

"Jesus!"

Mourinho shook off Terry's hand, turned his head and looked at the Tottenham bench, muttering: "Fucking Tottenham, fucking... son of a bitch, damn it, fuck it"

Studio.

"What's going on? It seems like Chelsea's head coach and substitute coach are fighting? Are the players joining in?"

"Damn, can a song have such a big impact? Mourinho seems to have lost his mind..."

Tottenham's singing of Real Madrid's team song did affect the mentality of Chelsea players, especially Ibrahimovic. Within 10 minutes after the song started, the Swedish center received 4 fouls, including a yellow card, which scared Mourinho so much that he quickly made a substitution and brought Remy up from the bench.

Taking the opportunity to replace Ibrahimovic, Mourinho also replaced Zouma with Terry.

"woowww!!"

"John!"

The Blues captain still has a great influence. As soon as Terry took off his green vest, the home team fans in the stands applauded and shouted his name.

Just as Terry was about to high-five Zouma before going on the pitch, Mourinho came over and put his mouth close to England's ear: "Please tell Jiang a message for me."

"What?"

"Kick the opponent to pieces"

"Forehead……"

When Terry came on the pitch, Chelsea had a corner kick opportunity. The Blues captain conveyed Mourinho's words to Jiang Yuan verbatim, and the latter spread his hands towards the bench with a helpless look on his face.

Jiang Yuan definitely wants to defeat Tottenham, but the problem is that it is not something that can be done just by wanting to!

Wait for an opportunity, a good opportunity...

But the game is less than 20 minutes away from over, and Jiang Yuan may not be able to wait for this opportunity.

Snapped!
Azpilicueta took a corner kick to the outside of the middle. Kante received the ball outside and headed it into the penalty area. Terry, who had just come on as a substitute, turned his head after observing the situation and successfully threw the ball in front of Jiang Yuan.

The opportunity is coming!

Jiang Yuan's eyes lit up, and he raised his right leg and kicked the outside of his foot at close range.

Snapped!
The ball went straight up into the goal.

"The ball goes in! The ball goes in! Jiang Yuan, hat trick! What did I say, what did I say!"

"Who said Chelsea can't beat Tottenham this season? Tell me, what is this?"

"Jiang Yuan's hat trick, the game is closed!"

Bang bang bang!
A Kun was so excited that he was incoherent. He didn't know what to say next, so he had to smash the keyboard to vent his inner excitement.

"Hahahaha!"

"Here, come here!"

While running towards the right corner flagpole, Jiang Yuan turned back to signal his teammates to follow him.

Dopamine and adrenaline were secreted rapidly. Jiang Yuan took off his shirt and roared towards the stands.

The director's camera turned to Son Heung-min, who had made a provocative gesture 10 minutes ago, and then focused on Mourinho. At this time, Mourinho broke free from Brown's defense at some point and staggered to the visiting team's bench.

Instead of beating up Pochettino as he had said he would, Mourinho gave the visiting team three fingers up.

It was also three fingers, but it didn't come from Son Heung-min, but from Mourinho.

The most amazing thing is that Mourinho’s three fingers can change!
In the camera, Mourinho's index finger and ring finger retracted, leaving only the middle finger.

This is his gift to Tottenham fans today.

“xuuuu——!!!”

"xuuuuuu!!!!"

There were boos from the stands and Mourinho received his second yellow card in the FA Cup this season.

74 '
CHE:TOT
3:3
Yellow Card: Jiang
Yellow Card: ? ? ? (Unrecorded subject)

The game was slowly coming to an end. After falling behind by 2 goals, Kane still wanted to lead his teammates to make a charge, but by the 85th minute they still hadn't scored a single goal, and gradually the Tottenham players lost their motivation.

Pochettino had a serious expression on his face outside the court, and now he had a hint of regret. Before the game, he told the players in the team that they didn't need to go all out in this game, which was undoubtedly a psychological hint to the players to "give up the game."

In fact, Tottenham without Eriksen still has the ability to compete with Chelsea, but because of this psychological suggestion, the performance of the players on the field is worse than each other.

Tottenham fell because of this psychological suggestion today!

“Beep, beep, beep—!!!”

"The game is over. The home team has won both the handicap and the solo win. In addition, we also congratulate Chelsea for successfully advancing to the final of this season's FA Cup. According to the schedule... wait, let me check the schedule first."

"Ok, Chelsea, who successfully advanced in this game, will play against Arsenal, who are also from London, at 5:28 am Beijing time on May 12th!"

……

After the game, Jiang Yuan followed Mourinho to the press room of Wembley Stadium.

As soon as he entered the room, Jiang Yuan saw the England flag and the national team jerseys of Dale and Sterling placed in the corner of the room.

If nothing unexpected happens, this stadium has not been used since the end of England's match against Lithuania on March 3. Now the press room is full of things left behind by the England national team players.

Crunch!

Jiang Yuan pulled out the bench that was stuffed under the table and sat on it naturally.

Click, click, click!

Click, click, click!

The FA Cup is second only to the Premier League in terms of popularity in the UK. Moreover, today's semi-final consists of a London derby, so there are naturally quite a few reporters on the scene.

Jiang Yuan also attended the press conference for the match against Tottenham at Stamford Bridge. If Jiang Yuan remembered correctly, there were more reporters present today than that day.

"Jose, you didn't attend the press conference after the Champions League quarter-final, when Roman Abramovich, the club's director, was interviewed. Do you remember this?"

"Yeah, sure, so what?"

Mourinho looked into the reporter's eyes, as if he had already guessed what the reporter was going to say next.

"May I ask why you avoided the press conference at that time?"

"I think I need to clarify this matter. I did not avoid the press conference as you said. It's just that Mr. Roman said at the time that he wanted to attend the press conference in my place. Your boss has something to say, you can't stop him from speaking, right?"

Mourinho said as a matter of course that he had actually expected to encounter this kind of problem today.

Reporters have really good memories. They can even remember what you said when you first transferred to the team 2 or 3 years ago. Not only that, they will use all the information they have to make things as difficult for you as possible.

"So can you tell me why you lost to Real Madrid? Jose, as the head coach of the team, where do you think you lost?"

Judging from the looks of these reporters, they probably want to make up for the interviews Mourinho owed them after the last leg of the game.

Knowing Mourinho's character, the reporters were prepared to be rejected. However, Mourinho rarely got angry, but explained calmly: "I think we lost in many places, the most critical of which is the midfield and backcourt. Our backcourt was almost completely restricted by Real Madrid. This is the reason why we lost."

"So you admit that Chelsea is not as good as Real Madrid?"

The astute reporter noticed something different in Mourinho's words.

"Well... you can say that, at least that was the case during the competition."

Mourinho did not resist the question and even leaned forward: "I won't say much about the first leg. 3:3 is a good score, at least for us now."

"In the second round... we exposed a lot of problems. I felt that our players' thinking was not on the same line on the day of the game, and the team was not united enough. This is a very serious problem."

Mourinho spoke slowly.

The reporter who asked the question at this time was already confused, because he never expected Mourinho to be willing to talk so much on this topic.

And there is no sign of stopping!
"I think we have the ability to beat Real Madrid. They were the Champions League champions last season, but we are not bad either. They have Ronaldo, Bale, Ramos... We have Jiang and Hazard. They have stars and we have them too. In other words, we basically have everything Real Madrid has."

The reporter pulled the microphone to his lips: "Then why did you lose?"

"I've already said it before, because we're not united enough. When a strong team plays a strong team, what matters is not a certain player, but the whole team."

Mourinho put his hands together, as if he wanted to use his gestures to explain what he wanted to say: "If the players can fully implement the tactics, we have a great chance to beat Real Madrid, but unfortunately we didn't do that."

Dozens of reporters in the audience frowned, they always felt that Mourinho was implying something.

“Are you talking about Pogba?”

The reporter who asked the question just now was awesome. He just picked up the microphone and asked without asking anything else.

"do not"

Mourinho shook his head: "This is an overall problem. We don't have the atmosphere that a professional team should have."

The reporter asked the third question: "How about playing the second leg against Real Madrid again? Well, I know this is impossible, but I want to ask. If you play the second leg against Real Madrid again, do you think you have a chance to win? Knowing how the opponent will handle the tactics?"

"No! (Lose)"

"Absolutely no! (Of course I will lose)"

"No matter how good the tactics are, they can't help us. Well... I think I've said enough on this matter. Today is the FA Cup semi-final, not the Champions League quarter-final. I think we should get back to the point. What do you think?"

Mourinho stared at the only reporter standing opposite him with a microphone. The reporter bowed slightly in greeting and then sat down.

He attended a Chelsea press conference and asked Mourinho three questions in a row. This achievement is enough to brag about in front of his journalist friends.

"The Independent, Mr. José, you defeated Tottenham with a good score in this game. Can you give a brief summary of this victory?"

Seven or eight minutes into the press conference, the questions finally turned back to today's game. Mourinho's serious expression relaxed: "Well, this is a good victory. It feels great to beat an opponent we haven't beaten this season at Wembley Stadium."

Mourinho put his hand on Jiang Yuan's shoulder: "I am very happy that Jiang got a hat trick. This is a key factor in our victory in today's game. Key players can always bring key victories. I always believe this sentence."

"But you just said that when a strong team faces a strong team, individual players are not important, and the overall performance of the team should be considered... Is that what you just said?"

Mourinho nodded: "That's right, but in my opinion, the performance of our opponents today is not that of a strong team"
