After signing with AC Milan, I will be the king of football!-Chapter 915 - 0313 He possesses a magic that can turn black and white upside down (Please subscribe)_3
But José Mourinho never believed in that stuff.
He only believes in himself.
If witchcraft worked, why would a football coach be needed? Just hire a few wizards to coach, and have a witchcraft battle every match.
Mourinho sneered.
Only those foolish Italian coaches would believe such things.
Though he didn’t believe it, he still chatted with the fan, even proactively sharing some urban legends he had heard.
Outside the media spotlight, Mourinho is fairly easygoing.
Usually, as long as you don’t offend him, he’s good to talk to.
But Huang Kaiwen frequently dropped back and spun, making him look at the fan involuntarily.
Is it really not going to score again?
As time passed, the match entered injury time.
Huntelaar still hadn’t scored again.
While disappointed, Mourinho also felt relieved inside.
Astrology is nonsense!
As a coach, the focus should still be on tactics. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
In the 94th minute, Huang Kaiwen took the ball on the right, with Fletcher constantly harassing him.
After spinning in place, Huang Kaiwen was unable to shake off Fletcher and passed the ball backward, running toward the middle.
Deco received the ball and quickly passed it sideways to Joe Cole, who was pressured by Hargreaves and made a diagonal pass to the charging Ashley Cole.
Ashley Cole quickly hit the bottom line and suddenly made a reverse triangle pass back.
Huang Kaiwen in the middle drew the attention of Scholes and Ferdinand, leaving Joe Cole unmarked on the left side of the big penalty area. Receiving the ball, he easily used his instep to send the ball into the penalty area, where Huntelaar, standing sideways in front of the goal, tapped it with his instep. Van der Sar, too far sideways, was slow to ground himself and could only watch the ball roll into the goal.
Beep,
Beep,
Beep—
The final whistle blew, turning the desperate comeback of the theater of dreams into mere illusion.
Ferguson had already accepted reality.
As an experienced coach, he quickly adjusted his mindset and was already considering the upcoming matches.
The league has 38 rounds, losing one or two doesn’t matter much.
The score of 3:5 is not too extreme, and won’t affect the team’s morale.
For the upcoming matches, they should just aim to drop fewer points.
After figuring it out, he went over and smiled, shaking hands with Boas, saying: "You did well, young man."
Boas was stunned, and after recovering, he suppressed his inner excitement and said: "Thank you for your praise."
Did he do well?
That’s right!
Today he led the team to defeat Manchester United.
Moreover, Mourinho would be suspended next, which meant he would helm as a temporary coach for several matches!
In that instant,
Boas thought a lot, maybe he really was a good coach.
Perhaps he could coach a top league team in the future.
In the stands, Mourinho clapped toward the field.
Though he didn’t show it, the last-minute goal by Huntelaar still shocked him greatly.
This wasn’t just a goal.
The fan even predicted the goal scorer correctly.
Was this a coincidence or something more?
Eager for answers, Mourinho was keen to find out.
Seeing the players finish their thanks on the field and prepare to go back down the tunnel.
He came to his senses and descended from the stands.
"José, are you going to the press conference?"
Boas asked.
Mourinho thought for a moment and shook his head, "Forget it, you go for me. If I go, those reporters will definitely try to provoke me, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to control myself."
Today’s red card suspension also depended on what the referee wrote in the post-match report.
If he couldn’t hold back at the press conference and said a few words, an additional suspension would be inevitable.
He was very aware of this.
He makes some newsworthy remarks to draw attention to himself and relieve pressure from the team.
Reporters really like this style.
It’s a mutual exploitation of sorts.
But being incensed by reporters into receiving an additional suspension, that’s not worth it.
Mourinho decided not to attend the press conference.
Going there would be beyond his control, as English reporters are really quite annoying.
"Alright, I’ll go."
Boas nodded and said.
"Oh, don’t say I put Kevin on the field."
Mourinho suddenly said.
"Okay, I’ll remember that."
Boas nodded and walked into the tunnel.
...
"Sir, can you tell us why you lost?"
"Does today’s loss relate to Manchester United’s poor summer acquisitions?"
"After Kevin came onto the field, Chelsea’s situation changed. Does this indicate Chelsea has a ’Kevin dependence’ problem?"
"How was Cassano’s performance today?"
"Why didn’t Mourinho come to the press conference, mister assistant coach?"
"Park Ji-sung performed excellently. Why was he substituted?"
With Mourinho not attending the press conference, Ferguson was the primary interview target.
As for Boas.
British reporters didn’t even bother to know his name.
The barrage of questions frustrated both coaches attending the press conference.
Ferguson was the first to speak: "Winning and losing in football is natural. As for the team’s construction thinking, there’s no need for you to know. I already said Chelsea is tough, Kevin would be the key to deciding the match."
"So Manchester United lost because Chelsea fielded Kevin?"
"You can understand it that way, after all, you report only what you want to say."
Ferguson sarcastically remarked.
Though he’s Scottish, Ferguson faced much skepticism when he first came to the United Kingdom.
"Why did Park Ji-sung get substituted?"
Asked in imperfect English.
"Enough!"
Ferguson slammed the table and stood up, shouting: "Lineup decisions are my issue, not your concern. I need to return to the locker room to see those lads. That’s it for today."
