    They defeated Middlesbrough 4-0 at home, and Shearer broke the club's historical scoring record. Newcastle could be said to be a double happiness. However, amidst the joy, there was a piece of not-so-good news, which made Newcastle's celebration a little less colorful.

    Chelsea showed great resilience in several consecutive tough games. They defeated Juventus 2-1 at home and drew 0-0 away with Alessandro Del Piero, Trezeguet, Nedved and Camo.  Juventus advanced to the semi-finals with first-class offensive players such as Ranesi, and then they scored three points at Old Trafford when the main players were extremely tired. Ruud van Nistelrooy scored in the seventh minute of the opening game.  It opened the scoring for Manchester United, but the tenacious Chelsea relied on captain Terry's header to equalize the score before the end of the first half. In the second half, goals from Gudjohnsen and Joe Cole helped Chelsea win this crucial game.  Victory, continuing to chase behind with one point difference.

    "Now the Chelsea team has more and more traces of Rafael." After getting this battle report, Pei Wei sighed and said to Mourinho: "Tenacious, brave, unwilling to give up Thirty-three  We have already scored 87 points in the last round of the league. You must know that Arsenal's unbeaten points last season were only 90 points. However, they are only one point behind us It's incredible, with our current points.  , I should have won the championship early.¡±

    "Know that Chelsea are still unbeaten! We have lost one game, and they have only drawn two more games than us. If our winning rate hadn't been so high this season, I really doubt whether we would still have it.  Hope of winning the championship." Mourinho also showed an expression of admiration. After all, he entered the Premier League a year earlier than Benitez and is more familiar with the team.  But he quickly gritted his teeth: "I don't believe they can win the next game Professor Wenger will not let him go easily."

    "I also believe this. Chelsea will visit Highbury in the next game. The only game we lost this season was there. I think it will be difficult for Chelsea to escape from there." Pei Wei nodded.  .

    "Then we must win Norwich in the away game in the next game. If we can take the opportunity to widen the points gap, then we can be more relaxed in the 35th round Chelsea can win against Manchester United away from home.  "We can win if we go down," Mourinho clenched his fists and said, "Expanding the lead in the league before the Champions League semi-finals will put a huge psychological pressure on them.  I¡¯m not confused. I want to see how strong the Chelsea players are mentally!¡±

    Pei Wei understands what Mourinho means. Mourinho intends to create an atmosphere of huge advantage in the league so that Chelsea players will suffer from psychological imbalance due to excessive pressure. Benitez also has to rely on his players to compete.  , if the players' morale is frustrated and psychologically hit, it will definitely affect the result of the game.

    It¡¯s just that Newcastle is under a lot of pressure, not to mention their opponent Manchester United in the 35th round.  Mourinho has not lost many games since he landed in Europe. Highbury and Old Trafford are one of the stadiums he has not conquered. Mourinho suffered his first defeat in Europe there.  Although their opponent Norwich in the 34th round is currently at the bottom of the standings, they still have a chance to avoid relegation and will not give up any games after the last few rounds of the league.  This kind of weak team that is relegated will become the hardest nut to crack - because if they don't work hard, they will have no chance.

    Compared with them, Mourinho is more willing to play against mid-range teams like Middlesbrough. Such teams have basically avoided relegation.  It can be said that you have no desire and no desire. You may still have the strength to resist at the beginning of the game, but after you score a goal, you basically surrender - just like the last round, although Middlesbrough still have to work hard for the UEFA Cup.  , but after being scored two goals by Newcastle, they basically gave up resistance, so they ushered in a massacre.

    And for a team like Norwich that has no retreat, no matter how badly you beat him, he only needs to breathe.  He will still pounce on you and bite you. You can't let him go until the game is over.

    So in the away game three days later, Mourinho sent most of his main players to deal with bottom-placed Norwich. Except for Dawson who had a sprain and Drogba who took a rest, all the other main players were on the field and they were bound to win.  Three points.

    Chelsea¡¯s game is tomorrow.  So Newcastle must win this game.  Extending the lead to four points while pushing Chelsea to the point where they had to win.  This has reached the point where Chelsea players' mentality is unbalanced and their performance is affected.

    Competition in football matches is not just about face-to-face matches. Mourinho's wife is a psychology expert. Under the influence of this good wife, Mourinho has always paid great attention to psychology in matches.  The application of?

    "The situation is not good. I knew Norwich would be tenacious, but I didn't expect them to be so tenacious."

    The game has entered the second half. Newcastle had a good start. In the tenth minute of the first half, Nie Fei assisted Ibrahimovic to open the scoring. However, Norwich did not waver because of this conceding goal. Instead, they were on the court.  The fight becomes even more fierce.

    A man with a lot of money can't make a move for a mole, and a son with a lot of money can't sit down in court. This is Newcastle, while Norwich is barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. Newcastle players are too afraid, afraid of injury, afraid of injury, etc.  It will affect the subsequent games, and I am afraid of ruining my career

    The Norwich players did not have this concern. People were falling on their backs on the court. Although Norwich had received four yellow cards in the second half of the game, they did not restrain themselves because of the yellow cards.  action.

    In this fierce game, Norwich slowly recovered the disadvantage, and in the 64th minute of the game, Moroccan Safri blasted a goal 25 meters away from the goal.  World wave, equalize the score!

    This is the Moroccan player's first goal this season, and it is such a wonderful world wave. From this perspective, Cech's luck is too bad.

    Cech, whose sight was blocked by players from both sides in the penalty area, waited until he saw the ball flying into the penalty area, and it was too late to react.

    "We must not be tied." Mourinho stood up decisively: "Otherwise Chelsea will see the hope of surpassing us, and we will definitely not be able to give them this hope Henrik, go warm up, we have to strengthen our offense.  Tell all the players not to be frightened by the opponent's fierce moves. We are not fragile porcelain and don't be afraid of collisions. If this game is tied, then maybe our efforts throughout the season will be in vain."

    Two minutes later, Newcastle replaced midfielder Makelele with Larsson in a desperate effort to strengthen the offense.

    Mourinho's risk-taking was successful. After adjustments, the Newcastle players were no longer afraid of the opponent's collision. They began to use their skills and uncompromising courage to deal with their opponents, and quickly regained the initiative on the scene and began to launch violent attacks.  attack.

    Finally in stoppage time, Ribery made a pass from the left, and Lucio, who inserted into the penalty area to assist, volleyed between the two defenders and broke the net. Newcastle won the game with difficulty at 2-1.  .

    If you put in the effort, you will get something. The team that won this game and returned to Newcastle for rest received good news the next day. Chelsea failed to replicate the miracle of beating Manchester United away from home in the previous round, and played Arsenal in an away game.  Zero to zero, Newcastle's lead expanded to three points.

    "What the hell is this Rafael doing? In the last game, he played with all the main players, but this time he hid nearly half of the main players and defended with all his strength in the away game. Does he just want to score a point? But there is no reason. He is watching helplessly  We have extended our advantage to three points and have reached this level. It is impossible for him to give up the league and focus on the Champions League This guy is so calm."

    Mourinho has trouble guessing Benitez, but he knows one thing very well, that is, as long as he is strong, it will be useless for his opponents to use any tricks.

    "In the next game, we will continue to attack with the main force. I want the main force to keep winning before the semi-finals and let them reach the peak of their condition. In the 33rd round, they have already had a rest, and now is the time for them to continue moving forward.  Time." Mourinho confidently made tactical arrangements for the next game.

    Manchester United is now in the throes of renewal, which can be regarded as the most vulnerable time. Mourinho believes that since Benitez can win Manchester United away from home after just having a fierce battle with Juventus, then he  It can also be done.

    "It's a pity that football games often don't make sense.

    Newcastle, with all its main players on the field, lost the game away from home, not much, just one goal, but that one goal was enough to wipe out the points advantage Newcastle had worked so hard to accumulate in the front.

    Manchester United played at a high level in this game. Newcastle took the lead in the first half thanks to Drogba's goal, but in the second half, Rooney equalized the score first, and then in the 75th minute, Brown fired Giggs' goal.  The corner kick hit the goal hard.

    Although Newcastle attacked with all their strength in the remaining games, they still could not shake the door guarded by Van der Sar. Newcastle suffered its second defeat of the season.

    In another game, Chelsea was at home and relied on goals from Joe Cole, Lampard and Deco to defeat Fulham 3-1, tying Newcastle's points.

    This season¡¯s Premier League standingsDuring the battle, the situation changed, and the king's flag changed on the city wall, just like what he said.  Piaotian Literature registered members recommend this work
