The third round of fixtures kicked off on 1 September, with Chelsea hosting Reading.

Reading is a professional football team based in Reading, Berkshire, southeast England, founded in 1871 as one of the oldest football clubs in the world, turned professional in 1895 and registered as a limited company on August 11 of the same year.

Reading were one of the founders of Group C for the 195758 season, but were relegated thirteen years later, 100 years after the club's founding, and the Redding team almost had to join Oxford for the next half century, with a lift in between. In the early years, Reading, nicknamed the "Cookie Man", was a big fan of the home team, and the fans were not enthusiastic about this team with the biscuit maker as the backstage, and it has only gradually improved in recent years, but there are still not many real fans.

However, the game was played at Chelsea's home stadium, so Chelsea fans quickly took over every corner of the pitch, and Reading didn't have fans here anyway, so it was all about that.

Reading don't have any famous players, most of them are second- and third-rate players from all over the world, and their formation is relatively conservative and defensive-oriented, after all, they still dare not make a mistake against a strong team of Chelsea's level away from home.

Goalkeeper Federrich, defenders Gantt, Pierce, Gorks and Hart, there is only one Karacan at the back, but there are four other people in the midfield to strengthen the midfield, namely McKanouf, Leggettwood, Gusri and McClairy, and only one man in the forward line is Pogliebniak from Romania.

It was a much simpler set-up than their Chelsea set-up, with John Terry returning from injury replacing Luiz in his 550th game for Chelsea, and Frank Lampard coming on with him, but these were the little things, and the real headache for Mourinho was the use of Illusory.

In fact, according to his original idea, Ai Huan should be rested, because Chelsea will enter the European competition at the next game, and these players will be needed more at that time, and this team is still relatively easy to beat, so it is a very good choice to put Ai Huan on the bench.

But it's a pity that Ai Huan was replaced at half time in two consecutive games, and because of this, there were a lot of rumors in the outside world. Mourinho never cared about rumors, he has always scoffed at these things, but the problem is that the influence of these rumors is very great, even Abu personally called to ask about Ai Huan's recent situation, although he didn't say anything else, but the meaning was also very obvious, which also made Munirio feel a little stressed.

If he didn't use Ai Huan, it would not be good news for the team or the outside world, but if he used it, it would disrupt his plan, after all, he always felt that Ai Huan had not had a good rest since the end of last season, and only a few days of rest in between, which was not a good thing for any player.

Don't look at Ai Huan's state now, but no one knows when he will suddenly be in a state of nothing, this is not an impossible situation, no matter how strong a person is, he is also a person, as long as he is a person, there will definitely be ups and downs in his state, and once it really comes to the cruel war around Christmas, Ai Huan is not good to use, it will be too cruel for himself. You must know that the various leagues that Ai Huan played in before had a winter break, but England did not have a winter break, and no one knows whether Ai Huan can adapt to it.

However, he didn't think about this problem for long, anyway, if he really didn't use him now, there would be a lot of unimaginable things, so in the end he decided to use Ai Huan, and there was nothing else to say.

The goalkeeper is still Cech, the backline is still a few people who have been performing well recently, Ivanovic, Cahill, John Terry and Ashley Cole, midfielders Mikel and Lampard are still as midfielders to stop the opponent's attack and organize their own attack. Oscar and Eden Hazard formed a new front trident, Juan Mata was rested, and he sent on Huntelaar, who had not played for a long time, in the Dutch striker's first start of the season, and it has been ten months since his last start, which is also quite embarrassing, and Torres has also been rested.

Ai Huan's mood today is a little strange, not because of the opponent Reading but because today is more special, because today is the day of the European Super Cup, by last year's Champions League champion Schalke against last year's Europa champion Atletico Madrid, think about this year Schalke almost sold all their main lineup, I can't help but feel sorry for them, now the world's eyes are almost focused on this game, but all public opinion is almost one-sided optimistic about Atletico Madrid, everyone understands that Schalke, who lost Ai Huan, will immediately put a few grades, and now they have almost sold a set of main lineup, who can explain what the current strength isThey have a good record of one win and one draw in the league recently, but the opponents they have met are very average, and Atletico Madrid is their litmus test.

Fortunately, the two games did not start at the same time, and they would only start about an hour after the game ended, so Ai Huan still had time to watch the game, but it was just to watch, after all, he was no longer a member of Schalke, and even if he was full of strength, he couldn't use his strength.

So he now also treats his opponent as Atletico Madrid, and the whole person has been tense since the morning. Fortunately, he is still accompanied by Taylor now, otherwise he really wouldn't know to vent his grievances there, but because Taylor, who had already said that he was going to come to the home stadium to watch the game, couldn't come again, just before the game started, Taylor's voice was still very lazy when he and Taylor talked on the phone, which made Ai Huan can't help but feel a kind of pleasure after pranks.

And as excited as he is Huntelaar and Oscar, both of whom are also making their first start of the season and are naturally full of confidence.

Today, Chelsea fans still fill every corner of Stamford Bridge, with blue figures and blue flags everywhere, and fans singing their favourite cheering songs, 'A Touch of Blue' and 'The Blue Flag Forever', as the players lined up and the game began shortly thereafter.
