Maribor is located in the northeastern part of Slovenia, near Austria, on the banks of the Drava River, where the Drava River meets the Pohoel Mountains, and the Drava Valley, the Drava Plain and the Kozyak and Slovenian Mountains make up Maribor's diverse topography.

It is the second largest city in Slovenia, with almost 100,000 inhabitants according to 2010 statistics, Maribor is the center and largest city in the Nizhny Styria region of Slovenia, and the airport in Maribor is also the second largest international airport in Slovenia.

The city emblem consists of a white dove flying downwards on a white castle and two towers and iron gates against a red background. It is said that it was inhabited during Roman times and developed into a town in the 12th century. It was returned to Yugoslavia in 1918. It is the railway and road hub of the whole of Slovenia, an important industrial center, with manufacturing industries such as automobiles, agricultural machinery, electrical machinery, chemicals, aluminum, textiles, wood processing, tanning, glass, etc.

There are monuments such as medieval Gothic churches, 15th-century fortresses and frescoes, modern tourist destinations, winter sports centres and even the Delaware waterfall hydroelectric power station, which is a combination of ancient and modern.

When Ai Huan and the other teammates sat on the bus and looked at the scenery of the city, there was also a kind of trance, as if they were really walking in ancient times, but soon returned to the modern era, and this trance of time staggered made people feel very interesting.

And the thought of the history they had heard about this place was even more interesting. It used to belong to Germany, the latter is Prussia to be exact, and then it was taken by Austria-Hungary, and after World War I, it was given to Naslav, but before World War II began, it was again taken by Germany, and then it returned to the arms of Yugoslavia, and now Yugoslavia has also become history, and they finally have their own country, Slovenia.

After so many changes, the people here are very independent, and the concept of the country is not so clear, it really seems to be a foreign place, but what is more interesting is that the language here is very confusing, and even most of the people speak German, thinking that after so many years, it is really surprising that there are still a large number of German immigrants and such a large influence.

This is the third game of the Europa League group stage, and their opponents are Maribor. Maribor is a professional football club in Maribor, Slovenia, founded on December 12, 1960. Since the opening of the Slovenian First Division in 1991, the team is one of only three teams that have never been relegated. Maribor has also always been considered the representative of Slovenian football, especially in its homeland and the region of Northern Slovenia.

Maribor is the most successful club in Slovenian football, having won a total of 10 Slovenian league titles, 7 cup titles and 2 Super Cups. Maribor was one of the three teams represented in the Yugoslav First League, which was launched in Yugoslavia in 1945 and lasted until the dissolution of Yugoslavia.

Only four teams from the former Yugoslavia have played in the Champions League and Europa League, with Maribor being the only Slovenian club to play in them.

Maribor's biggest rival in the domestic league is Olympia Ljubljana in the capital, and the clash between the two teams is known as the "Slovenian National Derby", while the match against Mura 05 is also known as the Northeast Derby.

Of course, although their resumes look glorious, their influence in Europe is actually pitiful, after all, their strength is only in the Europa League, and they only appear in the Champions League occasionally, but they definitely belong to the role of soy sauce.

And here is also a little connected with Ai Huan, Dongfang Zhuo used to play here, and he only transferred to the Greek after winning the Asian Cup.

In the evening, the Lyudsky Witte Stadium was packed, and nearly 13,000 fans had already poured into the stadium, although they did not expect to beat the terrifying Chelsea here, and it was probably a good thing to see a team like Chelsea and the current Ivan Fantasy, so the fans who walked in here today were extremely excited, and the atmosphere they created in their home stadium was not inferior to that of any famous European team.

Mourinho has just experienced the London game, and he has made a lot of changes to the main lineup.

The goalkeeper is the second goalkeeper who rarely plays****, the defenders Bosingwa, Cahill, Luis and Azpilicueta, the midfielder Romeu and the teenager Marin as the back, the front trident Ai Fan did not appear in the main lineup, he just sat on the bench, and Oscar, Moses and Stewart cooperated for the first time, and the forward line used Huntelaar, the Dutch striker.

Maribor's goalkeeper is veteran Handanovic, the back line is from left to right, Ville, Argus, Rajčevic and Megac, midfielders Filippovic, Metzga, Bohal and Merritt, and the forward line is made up of high school striker Fajic and Brazilian striker Tavares.

Before the start of the game, it rained lightly, which was a comfortable environment for football players, and the temperature here was relatively comfortable, so the scene was really comfortable.

The game started with a quick transition between the two teams and Chelsea's substitutes were keen to use the opportunity to show their quality, while Maribor showed a good fit after they were on their home turf against a team with a large number of substitutes.

In the third minute, Maribor threatened the Chelsea goal with a link-up, and Metzga's shot was saved by ****. In the fifth minute, Tavares continued to shoot from distance from the perimeter, but this time the shot was a little too straight and did not pose much of a threat. A minute later, Maribor played the ball down the left, Tavares deliberately leaked to the back post in the middle, and high striker Fajic swept sideways but it was still wide of the goal.

In the thirteenth minute, Merritt took a corner kick from the left, and Fajic flicked his header in front of the goal, but the ball hit the post hard and bounced off the bottom line.

This is a situation that no one expected, the mighty Chelsea was pressed in the penalty area by the little-known Maribor, but seeing Mourinho on the sidelines, he didn't look anxious at all, it seemed that he was confident.
