Chapter 170: Small Twists and Turns
Chelsea's win away to Arsenal was a natural source of buzz, and the game did feel like Ai Fan had beaten the opponent alone, and the horror quickly spread throughout England, and this time the crowd really felt threatened.
In an interview after the game, Ai Huan still refused to talk about Arsenal as he did in the past, but this time no one criticized him because his performance was too eye-catching.
And the funny thing happened, that Lacole Weizhi also followed to the backcourt, and then specially asked to take a photo with Ai Huan, and directly asked for the jersey that Ai Huan wore in this game.
Although the two of them didn't know each other before, and the age gap was a bit too big, but the other party was a senior beauty after all, and he was his own fan, of course Ai Huan was embarrassed to refuse, so he took it out and gave it to the other party, and then signed it again.
The reporters didn't have anything remarkable after seeing these things, but the title of the article published by The Sun the next day was "I'm really in love with him", and it was accompanied by a large number of intimate photos of the two people.
Later, they published an explosive news item in the newspaper the next day, "Lakoer's night party is a mysterious person, and his identity is about to be revealed", and then published several blurry photos, which appeared to have been taken secretly in the hotel, in the dimly lit hotel parking lot.
One of the two men in the photo is tall and strong, but he can't see anything but black hair, and the woman can't see clearly, but he can vaguely see the clothes and the general outline, which makes people look like Lacole Viss and Illusory.
Fortunately, most people are still sober, and it is not appropriate to take this scandal with a difference of fifty years at all, although the photos have been released, but when I think of the Sun News daring to do anything, I know that maybe this time it is another premeditated event.
Ai Huan didn't speak out at all, and it was better to ignore this kind of thing as it became darker and darker, but Lacole Weizhi was extremely angry, and she spoke directly through her lawyer, indicating that the person in the photo was not her at all and that this incident had affected her reputation, and if the Sun did not publicly apologize, then she would not hesitate to take legal measures.
Actually, this kind of thing is not a big deal, but looking at Lacole Weizhi's reaction, it is clear that the old woman, who is over sixty years old, wants to use this incident to hype up.
Of course, it became a joke when things got here, and the Sun also took this opportunity to increase their influence a lot, and in the end they naturally published an apology, and then pushed the matter on the reporter, and then took some unknown roads to calm things down, but the matter was finally resolved until the beginning of 2013, but it was meaningless for Ai Huan.
All his focus is now on the next game, with Chelsea facing Greece's Panathinaks, a regular in Europe.
Although the Greek league has never been a European high league, its influence is not weaker than any second-tier league, because Olympiacos and Panathinacs, the two giants of the Greek arena, will always appear in the major competitions in Europe, although their fate is always soy sauce, but the soy sauce is better than nothing, so many players in other leagues will become one of their options when they can't find a place in their league.
However, Panathinax had a bit of a problem last season, finishing third in the league, being held down by Olympiacos and the Greeks, who could only play in the Europa League.
Panathinax are not going to be determined to win this game, and it seems that they only want to get a point at their home stadium, but this point is not so easy to obtain, and they are not unaware of it.
They lined up a balanced 4-4-2 formation in goalkeeper Carnezis, defenders Cetaridis, Ventura, Spiropoulos and Trianta Felopoulos, midfielders Sissoko, Vitolo, Habib and Mavlias, and forwards Toche and Zeka. Sissoko is known to the squad as well, but the rest of the players have also played in Europe for many years and are not weaker than any other team in terms of experience.
Chelsea also put together an interesting line-up, and Mourinho didn't want to put all of his main players out in this game, so he rotated them anyway.
The goalkeeper is still Cech, the back line Ivanovic, Terry, Cahill and Cole, the back position is composed of Ramires and Moses, the front trident Ai Huan is just sitting on the bench, and the three people on the field are Oscar, Hazard and Sturridge, and Mourinho sent Huntelaar on the front line, which is also quite surprising, after all, Moses is still playing in the back for the first time, and it is still a question whether he can do it.
The game started with a fast pace but no dangerous goal, and in the first fifteen minutes of the game, there was hardly a decent shot on goal. It was clear that Chelsea had a lot of players out of form after the big game with Arsenal, and Panathinachs was guided by a draw, so they played decently.
It wasn't until the 18th minute that Sturridge struck a right-footed shot from outside the box, and the ball hit a defender and was not a big threat.
In the 23rd minute, Panathinaikos counter-attacked, and To's right-footed shot from the centre of the box was saved by Cech after receiving a pass from Settaridis on the side.
Just when everyone thought the first half of the game was going to be very dull, Chelsea finally took the lead in the 29th minute.
Huntelaar, who had not played for a long time, received the ball from Oscar straight into the middle of the penalty area, and immediately picked up the pace, and after flashing the opposing defender, he hit the goal with his right foot, and the football flew directly into the net.
Chelsea's morale boosted after taking the lead, and their attack intensified, with Eden Hazard's shot from inside the box flying over the crossbar in the 37th minute before the game went to a stalemate again, with the score continuing to be 1-0 until the end of the first half.
Mourinho seemed to be satisfied with the result, stood up and walked with ease, and walked back to the lounge with a gust of wind.
