Almost overnight, the entire UK, Europe, and even the world's media were reporting crazily about Yang Yang's hat trick and Liverpool's two consecutive victories in the new season. Novels.

This is the first hat-trick of the Premier League this season, and it is also understood as the strongest voice that Yang Yang made for the highest honor of professional players. Everyone believes that he is full of urgent desire.

Liverpool's two consecutive victories have also attracted the attention of all parties, because this is the second time in their history that they have won two consecutive victories in the Premier League. Before that, they only got this result in the 2003 season.

At that time, Liverpool won two consecutive victories at the beginning under the leadership of head coach Hollier.

This also makes everyone full of expectations for Liverpool this season. Some people even believe that Liverpool has determined its lead early this season, showed an excellent point-grabbing state, and has a great hope of making a breakthrough in the league.

But Chelsea coach Mourinho obviously disagrees with this statement.

...

"This group of fence-headed men who sway in the wind seemed to have forgotten to look through historical information. After Liverpool killed Aston Villa and Southampton one after another, they quickly drew with Blackburn in the third round."

In the small town of Cobham in southern London, Chelsea had just opened its training base, Mourinho sat in the coach's office, flipping through the latest newspapers, with a sad face, but sneering at him and looking very disdainful.

"And that season when he started two consecutive victories, Hollier finally brought Liverpool to fifth place in the league. Not only did he not improve, but he also lost his qualifying for the Champions League. This is not a success at all. If Liverpool really looked like that season this season, Benitez should have gotten out of here now."

In the office, several of Mourinho's right-hand assistants looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Obviously, they did not agree with the Portuguese madman's statement, but no one would refute him.

Because in Cobham, Mourinho is the only king.

Even though his current status has been shaken.

The reason why the Portuguese made such a statement is mainly because the British and European media have praised Liverpool too much.

The Reds are indeed the team with the best start in the Premier League this season, winning two consecutive games, but Chelsea also won two consecutive games. The only difference is that Chelsea played a bit difficult in both games, unlike Liverpool who had a four-goal victory, but so what?

Can it be concluded that Chelsea will fail at Anfield Stadium in the third round?

You know, before the third round, Chelsea had maintained an unbeaten in the Premier League for 16 rounds!

This seems quiet, but in fact it is a very difficult result.

What’s interesting is that the last time Chelsea lost to Liverpool at Anfield Stadium, which was the matchup in January of the year that made Chelsea miss the league championship.

So, Mourinho is unhappy with Liverpool from the bottom of his heart.

Especially when Yang Yang performs well, the more unhappy the Portuguese madman is with Liverpool.

But Chelsea's current situation is indeed not going well, and there are too many injuries.

"In January last year, both of our central defenders were injured, and neither Carvalho nor Terry could participate. As a result, they had to line up the combination of Ferrena and Essin, but they were beaten by Liverpool in the game. Now, we still have problems at the central defender position." Mourinho seemed unwilling, but he was very worried.

The most headache he has encountered now is that Carvalho is injured again.

Chelsea central defender wounded his thigh in the mid-week match against Reading, which basically sentenced him to death. He would definitely not be able to catch up with this focus game on the weekend.

What's even more terrible is that Terry also has injuries on his body. He has a cruciate ligament injury on his knee. He has never played for Chelsea this season. He has always been partnering with Ben Haim and Carvalho, who just joined in the summer.

Interestingly, the last time I played against Liverpool was the winter break transfer period, and both Chelsea's genuine central defenders were injured. Mourinho was determined to introduce central defenders. He took a fancy to Ben Haim, but Abramovich wanted to introduce Ales from Eindhoven, but the two sides did not give in to each other.

In the end, both sides suffered a loss. Neither Ben Haim nor Alex was able to assist the team during the winter break, but they both came this summer.

During Terry's injury and absence, Mourinho has been pressing against Alex and reusing Ben Haim because he wants Abramovich to see clearly that his choice is correct.

But now, even Carvalho is injured, what should I do?

This question has been put before Mourinho and the coaching staff.

...

"I think Alex is a trusted central defender, especially now." Boas made his own opinion.

Mourinho shook his head with a calm face, "I don't think he's ready yet."

In a word, the Portuguese madman rejected Alex.

Boas and the other members of the coaching staff looked at each other and felt helpless.

They all know that Mourinho is a little bit motivated now.

But that's the case in the professional league. As long as you can win, no matter how willful you are, you can be forgiven.

"How is Terry?" Mourinho asked.

Boas looked at the others and replied, "Some troubles are not cured yet. If you let him go rashly, it will cause some problems and may even leave any future troubles. And you have to find a way to convince him."

"It was a big battle against Liverpool, with the championship outpost, Carvalho was injured, we need an experienced central defender to stabilize the backcourt, Alex and Ben Haim are both new players, we need Terry." Mourinho made a decision.

His meaning was very clear, and he needed Terry to go on the battlefield with his injury.

Boas thought for a while and nodded, "I'll talk to him."

But soon, Boas thought of another question, "How to prevent Yang Yang?"

This is also the most troublesome thing in this game. It can even be said that it is a problem that all teams will encounter when encountering Liverpool, that is, how to freeze Yang Yang.

Should we specifically arrange people to target people? Or should we rely on the overall team?

"What do you think?" Mourinho asked.

Boas has always been his right-hand man, giving him advice.

"Each has its pros and cons. Essin serves as the right back and plays well. If he is allowed to stare at Yang Yang in the whole game, it will not be bad, but our defense will inevitably be affected. Moreover, Essin's ability to insert assists on the right is also good. He is one of the best players in the team's previous two rounds."

In the first round of Birmingham, Essin's final goal helped Chelsea score three-pointers at home.

"But if people are not arranged specifically to guard the situation and rely on the overall situation, Yang Yang may not be able to be limited. Moreover, we have to defend the tacit understanding between Terry and Ben Haim. They have not even played the same game so far."

Boas's hesitation is not unreasonable. The two central defenders lack tacit understanding, which is a very fatal matter.

Why doesn’t Mourinho know?

Sometimes, such a dilemma must be faced.

His choice of Terry is not only a struggle for intention, but also his trust in Terry. He believes that the more critical the moment, the more he needs the support of Terry, an experienced veteran.

Let Ben Haim and Alex, God knows whether they will become soft-legged shrimps at critical moments and be completely beaten by Liverpool's super forward line? If they lose a big score, Mourinho will have to be dismissed the next day.

Yang Yang is a problem, and Crouch is also a problem!

Liverpool's forward line this season is indeed very outstanding, and it is very difficult to deal with, and it is difficult to defend against.

"Yang Yang is in good shape recently, and he must be restricted, one-on-one..." Mourinho shook his head when he said this, "I think even if Essin is allowed to keep a full-time watch, he may not be able to defend him."

If Essin is asked to monitor him specifically, he can't even defend himself?

Boas and other coaching staff members were also a little surprised. Is this too arrogant to Yang Yang?

You know, Essin is the premier defensive midfielder in the Premier League today. He is known for his running and defensive ability. He is nicknamed Garner Buffalo. It’s not okay to let him entangle Yang Yang?

Mourinho knew the doubts of his assistants, but some things didn't happen, so there was no convincing power.

He could never say that this is his own feeling, right?

In fact, many times, running and defensive ability alone is not enough to freeze a player.

Yang Yang himself is known for his running ability, and he runs very smartly and acts passively. Essin may not be able to defend him, because Ghana Buffalo often has distracted and is not stable.

On the contrary, like Ferreira, it is easier to give Mourinho confidence.

"Then we can only rely on the whole." Boas said helplessly.

This is just Yang Yang. Behind Yang Yang, Liverpool also has Benitez, who is best at targeted tactics.

On the tactical level, this guy seems to have never lost to anyone.

Mourinho nodded helplessly, "I won't attend tomorrow's pre-match press conference."

"Why?" Boas was a little surprised.

Mourinho has always been the protagonist at Chelsea's pre-match press conference, and even gave him a nickname on London Fleet Street, Troublemaker.

"Before this game, we need to stay stable and calm." Mourinho said lightly.

Boas has worked with him for many years and can vaguely hear his implicit meaning.

It seems that he is also full of worries about this game.

"In addition, you should urge Stamford Bridge as soon as possible to speed up the transfer operation of Daniel Alves, and we need him."

Daniel Alves, who plays for Sevilla's right side, can play all positions from the right winger to the right back. He was very close to Liverpool last summer, but Sevilla asked for too high prices. After the Reds introduced Yang Yang and Kuyt, they could not afford to operate Alves.

This season, Chelsea wants to strengthen the right side, and Mourinho is determined to win against Alves.

Previously, Brazil's right-back agent Suarez had publicly announced that 95% of his players would join Chelsea because the difference between the two sides in transfer fees was only 4.5 million pounds, which was not a problem for the wealthy Chelsea.
