Chelsea are Manchester United's main rivals in the league.
Since Roman Abramovich joined the blues, the Premier League has been won between Manchester United and Chelsea.
After four rounds in the Premier League, Manchester City and Manchester United are now the top scorers, and Chelsea, who are three wins and one draw, are the second.
Compared with Manchester United, the action of Chelsea this summer is much bigger. In addition to Torres and David Lewis who were recruited during the winter break last season, this summer, Chelsea invited "Jose II" boas, and also added lucaku, kutuis and Romeo and other potential players in the transfer market. The joining of "new Warcraft" can greatly enhance the team The return of Sturridge can also improve Chelsea's poor breakthrough ability.
In theory, Chelsea is a perfect team. Before the start of the season, the fan media thought that the question for the blues was whether boas could settle the dressing room?
When Jose comes to Stamford Bridge, he can say that he is the coach of the Champions League, and these players are nothing; but boas is facing a group of big men holding a number of Premier League and FA Cup trophies.
However, judging from the start of the four league matches and the first round of the Champions League, boas still has some control over the team, and he is in a good position with the team leaders. His record of four wins and one draw has won the praise of fans, journalists and the top management of the club.
However, in the four leagues and one Champions League match since the beginning of the new season, the opponents of Chelsea are not strong, and many fans and reporters think that such a victory is not convincing. As long as the coach is not too bad, he can do this, the real test of boas is the strong dialogue.
Sunday's visit to Old Trafford was boas's first real test as Chelsea manager.
But boas should be glad he has so much time to prepare for such a collision.
Because many of boas's predecessors started their career with a game against Manchester United. Ranieri drew 3-3 with Manchester United at Old Trafford in his first game. The first game of the game was a 1-0 win over Manchester United at Stamford Bridge. Soon after grant took over, he lost 2-0 to Manchester United. Ancelotti appeared in the community shield in 2009, and the two sides drew. It's been a luxury these days to prepare for five games after taking over as Chelsea manager.
Although this is the first important match, boas has a good record in the World War II.
The University of Coimbra, the first club of boas, has only one match that can be called a big fight, that is, the final match with setubar. As a result, the University of Coimbra won 3-0.
Boas came to Porto after several wars, especially with Benfica's national Derby. Boas won 5-0 at home in the first national derby and 2-1 away in the second leg, winning the League at the stadium of light.
Porto's success in the Europa League also reflects boas's good performance in the big scene.
However, the original opponents of boas are unknown, and now, boas's opponent is the world's best coach Ferguson.
In addition, Ferguson's super high winning rate against "rookie coach" (leading the team to play in the Premier League for the first time) is also a barrier for boas. Of all the Premier League managers who led the team to meet Manchester United for the first time, only Jose has won.
Boas, who has always been good at collecting intelligence, certainly knows this.
But boas is not afraid of Ferguson. Before the game, boas paid homage to Ferguson and challenged him.
"Sir Alex is the greatest manager in the Premier League and perhaps the best in the world. He has coached more than 2000 Games and won dozens of titles. His achievements are amazing."
"What's more terrible is that Sir Alex is never satisfied with the current situation. His use of new players is shocking. After class 92, now Sir Alex has created a young red devils with Gao Xiaodong and Rooney as the core. They won the treble last season and won five consecutive games this season. They are the most popular champions of the league."
"However, we are not afraid of Manchester United or Ferguson. In the eight years since Mr. Abramovich joined the blues, Chelsea are not inferior to Manchester United. Now, Chelsea is not old. Our structure is very reasonable. Lampard, Terry and Cech are still top players. Young people like Marta, Kalou and Sturridge can compete with the best players. "
" Sir Alex Ferguson is still great, but I think his era is coming to an end, and the history of the Red Devils dominating the Premier League will come to an end. This time we go to Old Trafford to win. I believe we can end Manchester United's winning streak. I have enough confidence in my players. "
Boas also specifically mentioned Gao Xiaodong, "I have worked with Gao, he is a fantastic player, there is no denying the greatness of mussel and Sir Francis, but I think that in the two treble titles of inter and Manchester United, Gao Jugong is the greatest. Without his efforts to turn the tide at the critical moment, Manchester United and inter could not have won the treble. This game, I am not afraid of Old Trafford's unbeaten record, I am only worried that my players can't see xiaodonggao
Although boas is known as little Jose and has achieved good results in the Portuguese Super League, these are not worth mentioning in Ferguson's eyes. Now this young man, who is just 33 years old and not as old as Ferguson's son, dares to challenge Ferguson before the game, which makes Ferguson very unhappy.Ferguson has always liked to play psychological warfare before the game, of course, this time will not let boas go.
"If a 33 year old man who has never played a professional game and coached 90 games can become a rich coach, I can only say that I was a failure at that time. I coached only a Su-B amateur team at the age of 33 and could only compete for 40 pounds a week."
"I can't say that you can't succeed when you are young, but if boas can lead Chelsea to the Premier League, it will be a miracle. If he can win the Premier League this season, then I'll quit and go home
Not only is the match between the youngest manager Boas and the oldest manager Ferguson the focus of the red and blue war, but also the match between the new core of Chelsea Mata and the core of Manchester United Gao Xiaodong, and the match between the new frontman Torres and Manchester United frontman Rooney.
Gao Xiaodong's position in Manchester United is needless to say, and Mata just came to Chelsea two days later and made his debut. After that, he started two consecutive games, scored two goals in three games and made two assists, which laid the core position of attack at one stroke. Whether Chelsea can break the goal of Manchester United in this game depends on Mata's performance.
Torres's feeling in front of the goal is still not back, but his two assists in the Champions League prove that he has contributed to the team, and his record at Old Trafford is very good. The Spanish golden boy has always been the nemesis of Manchester United defender Vidic. If Torres can find his form, Manchester United's defence will be greatly threatened.
Rooney's role in Manchester United is second only to Gao Xiaodong. The connection between Rooney and Gao Xiaodong is a nightmare for any defensive line. In the first four rounds of the league, although there are only three goals lost by Chelsea, opponents like Norwich, West Brom and Sunderland can make their defensive line nervous. It must be extraordinary to block the joint efforts of Rooney and Gao Xiaodong.
In short, the two teams have the same strength and each has its own advantages. Comparatively speaking, Manchester United has a greater advantage at home. However, it is a miracle that boas can coach Chelsea at the age of 33. No one can say that he can't beat Ferguson like Jose.
