Chapter 225: The Wind and the Crane (I)
Three days later, the match between Chelsea and Fulham officially kicked off, and as time went on, the Premier League entered its most brutal schedule, and it was also a hard-fought tug-of-war.
They have returned to the top spot since Chelsea's comfortable win over Manchester City in their last game, and Jose Mourinho has also issued a must-kill order for this game, but Fulham are by no means an easy team.
Fulham set up a 4-4-2 formation, the goalkeeper is the veteran Schwarzer, who has been in the Premier League for many years, the backline Reese, Senderros, Hughes and Ritter, the midfielders have played for Chelsea Diarra and Sidwell, plus Karagunis and Fast Madhav, and the forward line is the famous Berbatov and Rodallega, this team is almost all experienced Premier League veterans, and Fulham's record has always been average, but you will know that they are definitely not easy to deal with.
Mourinho naturally wanted to get a good result in the first game of his return from suspension, but he still rotated and put several key players on the bench. The goalkeeper is still Cech, the defender Azpilicueta, Ivanovic, Luiz and Cole, Mourinho still continued the back line of Rui, while Frank Lampard and Mata in the midfield rotated, Romero and Ramires appeared in the midfield, German teenagers Marin, Oscar and Ai Huan appeared in the trident position, and Huntelaar continued to start the last game.
This set-up did surprise many people, after all, Hazard and Torres have always been Abu's heart, and now it is really a headache for both to be excluded from the main lineup. No one knows what Mourinho is up to.
Ai Fan has been a little distracted recently, and he always seems absent-minded in training, which makes many people feel a little overwhelmed, but Mourinho's ignorance of such Ai Fan has made no one in the whole team dare to say anything, after all, they have also seen Mourinho's determination to make a big fight from Hazard and Torres, and now no one wants to make this bad head.
But some people are unhappy, some people are happy, life is always like this, there will always be two sides, Huntelaar is in a very good mood, he now finally feels that he can sit in that main position, which is what he has always dreamed of.
Looking at Ai Huan's appearance in the lounge, he was also very curious, who didn't know that Ai Huan is now known as the Hollywood goddess harvester, and there are already many Hollywood stars who have been hoked by this guy, but he still looks half-dead, which makes Huntelaar really can't help but be curious, so he took an opportunity to ask Ai Huan in a whisper, "Ai, what's wrong with you?"
Ai Huan does have a heart, he has been in contact with Kate since that day, but he just can't get in touch, so he is very curious about what he is doing wrong? He has no friends in his life, and now he sees Huntelaar asking himself, so he simply asks, "I'll tell you something, you can help me analyze it and see what it means?" So he briefly explained the matter.
Huntelaar didn't expect this effect to be achieved by asking casually, so he listened patiently, and then couldn't help blurting out, "This is because people don't want to see you, right? What did you do?"
"Huh?" Ai Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, "It turns out that I was dumped again." ”
"Hey, buddy, they all say you're a playboy, a Hollywood goddess reaper, why are you the way you are?
"That's all nonsense from others, where am I a harvester, in fact, every time someone dumps me. ”
The game then began, and Chelsea took the lead after the players on both sides guessed the side, but everyone muttered a little in their hearts, can Ai Huan's current state work?
Who knew that the game had just begun, after Ai Phantom pushed the football to Ramirez, he immediately turned around and attacked forward, and Lai Mirez did not slack off and passed the ball directly, Ai Phantom lightning generally broke through from Rieser's side and easily formed a single knife, he calmly pushed into the bottom left corner in the face of the attacking Fulham goalkeeper, and the football rolled directly into the net, and Chelsea took the lead so easily.
"Damn! it's so simple? Is his absent-mindedness pretending to be out of it?" At this moment, the players standing on the field were all a little dumbfounded, no one knew how Ai Huan did it, the assault just now was simply too simple, so simple that it seemed to have a tacit understanding with the other party, but it was a good thing that his team took the lead anyway.
Chelsea, who had taken the lead, immediately got into the groove and launched a fierce attack on Fulham, and it was obvious that Fulham were also stunned, and they did not expect that Ai Huan would break all their carefully arranged defensive lines with such a simple assault, so they had to retreat in full.
In the third minute, Marin received a pass from Romero and launched an attack on the left, and after the football passed to the penalty area, Huntelaar's header in the box forced the opposing goalkeeper to make a flying save, only to barely save the football from the bottom line, and Chelsea won a corner.
Ramirez's corner kick was driven to the back post, and Marin was blocked when he tried to break through, and he had no choice but to pass the ball to Oscar in the middle, hoping to organize again.
After Oscar got the ball, he didn't pass the ball at the first time, but wanted to pass Sidwell, and his continuous feints immediately shook the opponent so that he couldn't find the southeast, northwest, but Sidwell, who wanted to fight for face in front of his old club, was unwilling to be passed by Oscar, so he directly put Oscar down at the edge of the penalty area with a side tackle, but he regretted it just after doing this action, because the referee's whistle blew and Chelsea won a free kick.
Sidwell covered his head in frustration and squatted on the ground, who didn't know that Ai Huan's free-kick was powerful, and such a move was tantamount to giving Chelsea a second goal.
Ai Huan didn't disappoint, his free-kick easily went over the opposition defence and then spun straight into the back of the net, giving Chelsea a two-goal lead less than ten minutes into the game and the victory was assured.
Mourinho didn't even celebrate, he sat in his seat all the time, watching the game with a smile on his face, just nodding his head as he watched.
In the 12th minute, Oscar broke down the left side of the field to return to goal, but the goalkeeper blocked the ball at the near post, and then Huntelaar's header in the box was saved by Schwarzer again, and Fulham's goal was full of noise.
