Messi was so scared that he cried when he maxed out his header talent at the start of the game

The sky of Manchester was overcast. It was still daytime, but the whole city was shrouded in shadow.

Rumble.

The dull thunder was like the roar of a beast in the clouds.

It has been such a horrible weather these days, with dark clouds, thunder and wind, but it has not rained yet.

On the training ground.

Su Fei stepped on the football, looking forward, and his hair on his forehead was blown by the raging wind.

After more than three months in Manchester City, his neat short hair has grown a lot longer.

Two days have passed since the match with Everton.

Su Fei did not give himself a holiday, and he still worked overtime every day to train Maradona's offensive awareness.

Now the progress bar has passed more than half.

There are still six days before the match with Chelsea. If we continue at this pace.

There is really a chance to complete Maradona's offensive awareness before the twelfth round of the Premier League.

"Chelsea in 2005..."

Su Fei muttered silently.

Those memories of the past life are like fragments circling in my mind.

Chelsea in the 2005-06 season was almost invincible.

After José Mourinho took over Chelsea last season, Roman Abramovich stuffed his checkbook into his hand.

This madman who led the Portuguese Super League giant Porto to rise again not only helped Porto defend the Portuguese Super League championship.

He also helped the team incredibly to defeat Manchester United, La Cruz, and Monaco, and won the second Champions League trophy in the team's history.

Such a coach who shines in Europe.

After taking over Chelsea, he started to spend money like water, making drastic adjustments to the lineup and introducing players.

He brought Paulo Ferreira from the Portuguese Super League at a price of 13.3 million pounds, a record for Premier League full-backs, Ricardo Carvalho at 30 million euros, and Thiago Cardoso Mendes at 15 million euros.

After competing with Ferguson, he snatched Arjen Robben from the Eredivisie for 12 million pounds.

He spent 24.5 million pounds to sign French Footballer of the Year Didier Edroba.

He signed Petr Cech at a price of 7 million, breaking the club's goalkeeper transfer record.

Jose Mourinho broke the Premier League media's desperate money-spending style of signings, and successfully laid the foundation for Chelsea's brilliant start in his first season as coach.

In the 4-3-3 formation, Drogba stirred the penalty area in the frontcourt, and Robben and Duff flew on both wings. Lampard, Thiago, and Makelele in the midfield formed a triangle support in the frontcourt. John Terry, who took over the captain's armband, led Carvalho and other muscular men on the back line, making it impregnable.

"There is no weakness in our lineup. Whether it is physical confrontation or technical competition, we can fight to the end."

Jose Mourinho's assistant Rui Faria once publicly commented on his own lineup.

That's it.

The Iron-blooded Blue Army is ready to go!

In the 2004-05 season, Chelsea broke the record of the highest points in the English Premier League with 95 points.

Helped Chelsea win another English Premier League championship in 50 years.

Became the coach who led the team to win the championship in the first season of the Premier League, and also won the League Cup championship.

This is Chelsea during this period.

So.

This is also the reason why Su Fei trained Maradona's offensive awareness day and night.

Because facing such a Chelsea.

No team in any period of history has a 100% chance of defeating him.

Trump card.

Su Fei knew that if he wanted to deal with this game, he needed more trump cards.

"Bang!"

Su Fei kicked the ball towards the goal with a furious kick. The wind was so strong that it slightly changed the trajectory of the ball.

"Bang!"

The ball missed by a hair and hit the crossbar.

......................................

London, Chelsea training base.

On the training ground.

Chelsea players are having a training match.

Standing on the sidelines of the field, José Mourinho put his hands in his pockets. The wind was so strong that it blew his unbuttoned suit jacket.

"Boss, Duff's knee injury is not optimistic. The hospital's examination report shows that he is expected to be absent for two weeks."

"Yeah."

"There is a vacancy in our right front field. Who are you going to replace this position..."

"What did you just say? Duff is going to be absent for two weeks? Damn it!"

José Mourinho, who realized it belatedly, took the checklist brought by his assistant Rui Faria.

His facial expression lost its grace and he kept shaking his head.

"My idea is to call Duff first. What do you think?He is a great kid, but he is too fragile. I remember he was also... last season..."

"I agree with you, sir."

Ruy Faria dialed a mobile number and handed it to José Mourinho.

"Hi, Duff..."

After hanging up the phone, José Mourinho returned his attention to the court.

His eyes jumped on the players.

"Hernan is in good form this season. In the last game, he..."

"Edur is better to stay in the midfield... He is not suitable to be too far forward... nor suitable to start..."

"Carlton... No... He can't..."

"Joe, huh? Joe! Joe is a very good choice. He should have appeared in the starting lineup a long time ago... I need to think about it again. "

Jose Mourinho frowned and relaxed from time to time, he was completely immersed in his own world.

In this regard.

Rui Faria was used to it, he stood by silently and asked at the right time.

"Boss, do you need me to bring you the detailed data of all the players last season and this season?"

"No, no. Here, see? Rui, they are all here."

Jose Mourinho simply rejected the assistant's suggestion and tapped his temple with his index finger.

"The next game is very important to me, to us, and to our fans!"

"And."

"The boss told me that it was his birthday that day, he would come to watch the game, and he hoped that the team could give him a victory. ”

Speaking of the boss, Rui Faria immediately thought of the Russian who always smiled.

For the entire Chelsea staff, Roman Abramovich has established a very good image.

He is almost not directly involved in the management of any team affairs, and does not interfere with any operations of the team.

He is behind the scenes, silently, providing a steady stream of money.

No one will not love such a boss!

Most directly, Rui Faria knows that he is currently enjoying the highest assistant coach treatment in Europe.

At the same time.

Chelsea staff are inexplicably afraid of him, just because he is too mysterious and can only be seen a few times a year.

The boss is here in person, birthday.

Well.

The team certainly needs a beautiful victory to make the boss happy.

"I know, boss, the game against Manchester City is really important for us."

"Yes, this is related to our funding during the winter window, and there are several good players that I am very interested in."

"Is it expensive? "

Jose Mourinho laughed and hugged his assistant's shoulders as if he had heard the funniest joke.

"Okay, it's expensive, of course."
