Chapter 174
"It's amazing! The quality of this header is really first-class, perfectly catching Schurrle's volley cross." Jones also stood up,"Li Lei is indeed a big-game player. It is a wise move to let him play at the critical moment.!"
"All the players on the Sunderland field tried their best to hold on until the end, but they still failed to keep the goal. Even a draw would be a huge improvement for their road to relegation."
"What a pity!" Keane, who had calmed down, said with some regret
"It is a big blow to Sunderland's chances of staying in the Premier League, but it is a firm step for Chelsea in their bid to win the Premier League title."Jones said
"Yes, as a Sunderland fan, I'm sure they'll feel sorry for it." Keane nodded,"But at least they showed their fighting spirit and strength. I believe as long as they keep a positive attitude, Sunderland still has a chance to stay in the league."
"They performed very well today, but they met Chelsea who were in hot form."
"Now it is inevitable that Chelsea will win the championship. The team led by Mourinho is indeed strong.���"
"But the league is not over yet, Chelsea can't take it lightly"
"Staying focused is the key. I believe Mourinho and Chelsea are aware of this. They have a great chance of winning the Premier League title this year."
"I wish them success and bring the fans a new era of glory for the Blues!"
After the game, media from all over the world surrounded Mourinho, and the Sunderland coach who lost the game could only serve as a foil.
"Mr. Mourinho, what do you think of Atletico Madrid, the next opponent in the Champions League semi-finals?" A reporter asked at the post-match press conference.
Mourinho thought for a moment and said:"Atletico Madrid is indeed a very strong opponent. They have performed well in the La Liga and their strength should not be underestimated."
"But I believe that as long as we play at our normal level, we will have a chance to enter the finals."
"Chelsea is in great form this season and the players have a good team spirit. I have full confidence in the team."
"We will do our best to give our fans a chance to reach the Champions League final."
"Chelsea will never be afraid of any opponent"
"Mr. Mourinho, what do you think of Liverpool, the next opponent in the league?"The reporter in the audience asked
"Liverpool also won this round of the league, and they are only 5 points behind Chelsea. In the next round of the league, the two teams will have a direct dialogue in the 36th round."
"Theoretically, Liverpool still has a chance to win the league title"
Mourinho thought for a moment and said:"Liverpool is indeed a strong opponent, and their performance this year is also very good."
"But I think there is still a certain gap between theoretical possibility and actual situation."
"It is very difficult for Liverpool to overtake Chelsea in the last two rounds of the league, and it is almost impossible."
"But in football matches, we must not take any chances or underestimate our opponents, and must treat every game as a decisive battle."
"Therefore, we will prepare for the next big match against Liverpool with 100% concentration."
"I believe that as long as we play to our full potential, we will be able to maintain our lead and eventually win the league championship trophy."
"We will fight for this honor for all the Blues fans!"
After saying this, Mourinho began to leave the stage.
The reporters in the audience still had many questions to ask, and they all raised their hands, but there was no chance. Seeing that the staff began to arrange for the exit, they had to choose to give up.

Title: Mourinho plans for a double crown, rising star Li Lei rises
Text: In this round of the Premier League, Chelsea beat Sunderland 2:1 at home, one step closer to defending the Premier League title.
The most eye-catching thing about this game was the performance of this season's newcomer Li Lei. The Chinese player changed the rhythm of the game as soon as he came on the court, and scored a key goal at a critical moment to ensure Chelsea's victory.
Mr. Mourinho's dispatch in this game was particularly accurate.
In the first half, he arranged for the veteran group of main players to play steadily; in the second half, he sent Li Lei and Eto'o to turn the situation around in one fell swoop.
Mourinho knows the use of the lineup very well. He is like a master chess player, step by step, and finally forced his opponent into a dead end.
And Li Lei's performance is also impressive. His speed, awareness and shooting ability are all demonstrated.���The super high level is undoubtedly a successful investment in Chelsea's summer transfer market.
Mourinho also praised the Chinese player after the game.
With consecutive rounds of victories, Chelsea continues to lead the Premier League standings and is close to winning the championship.
In the Champions League, they will also face Atletico Madrid in the semi-finals and strive to advance to the final.
It can be said that Mourinho has clearly deployed the grand plan of the double crown, and Chelsea is very likely to achieve this great goal this year.
Let us wait and see and witness the arrival of the Blues' glorious moment! On
April 21, the second day after the game, at Chelsea's Cobham training base, head coach Mourinho did not give the players any training tasks.
Their main task in these two days is to rest, and the massage rooms in the training base are crowded.
These two days of rest are very necessary for the players.
Continuous high-intensity training and competitions have consumed a lot of physical energy. A short rest can ensure that the state is back to normal to cope with the important game of the Champions League semi-final.
The masseurs are also working intensively to help the players relax their muscles and quickly recover their physical strength.
The team doctor will conduct a comprehensive physical examination on each person to ensure that they have no injuries.
They will take a chartered flight to the Spanish capital Madrid early in the morning on April 22.
