A 2-0 home win over Manchester United allowed Chelsea to once again defend their position at the top of the league and sparked a new wave of hype in the British media. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Especially in this game, Gao Han rotated the team's midfield, allowing Joe Cole to start instead of Deco, and the result was very good, and the overall strength did not decline in the slightest, which surprised and appreciated all the British media.

The British Times put a photo of Gao Han with his hands clenched in fists raised after the game, and put it on its front page cover, with a powerful headline, "The Revolutionary Manifesto of the Insurgents!"

The report commented that Manchester United has always been regarded as a role model in the Premier League, winning the championship eight times in ten years, and the resume is very amazing.

However, this season's Chelsea are like revolutionaries, with Gao Han not only bringing more advanced technical and tactical play, but also steadily surpassing the traditional giants Manchester United and Arsenal in terms of results.

And in both of the two crackdowns against the traditional giants, Chelsea delivered a near-perfect answer, attracting more and more fans and hearts to themselves, and making all fans tired of the dull format of the Premier League very excited.

In the dialogue, Gao Han told everyone with ironclad facts that Chelsea will completely turn the traditional situation of the Premier League upside down.

At the same time, the Times also published a sentence from Gao Han's post-match press conference.

'Beating Manchester United means more than leading the table because in the Premier League everyone knows what it means to beat Manchester United, and even though the league is not halfway through, it's a game that will have a profound impact on the Premier League this season. ”

But The Times also ran a counter-attack from Alex Ferguson in his post-match press conference.

'It's only December and yes, Chelsea have a clear lead, but I think it's too early to talk about winning the title and if they can maintain their current lead in March then I would consider recognising that they have what it takes to win the title. ”

According to the analysis of the Times, Ferguson's meaning is obvious, and the winter break is a problem for all Premier League teams.

Chelsea want to win the title, they can, but they have to go through the winter break devil's schedule first.

Gao Han replied to this in a low-key manner, no matter how much he said, the key is to prove it with actual results.

After the 14th round of the Premier League, Chelsea still lead the table, followed by Arsenal and Manchester United, and it is basically difficult for other teams to shake the position of these three teams.

In this round, Arsenal drew 0-0 at home to Fulham, and Henry suffered another goal drought.

Throughout the game, the Gunners' performance was indeed sluggish, and there was no too eye-catching performance.

On the contrary, Manchester United, although they lost on the pitch, ushered in a big harvest off the field.

The day after the Chelsea game, the Red Devils officially announced that they had signed a new sponsorship contract with sponsor Vodafone for a fee of up to £40 million, the largest sponsorship fee in the history of the Premier League.

The Red Devils have once again defended their position as a successful club in Europe, giving everyone a glimpse of the commercial capabilities of the Red Devils empire.

On the same day, Manchester United CEO David Gill also announced that American billionaire Malcolm Glazer further increased his stake in the club, which made many media speculate that Glazer intended to buy Manchester United, but David Gill denied it, believing that it was just an ordinary transaction.

Both stories completely covered up United's defeat on the pitch and made it clear to everyone that the failure on the pitch could not stop United's success off the pitch, and that the Red Devils remain the most successful club in European football.

Three days after the round of 14, Chelsea face the last 16 of the Carabao Cup when they travel to Reading in League One.

The team's style was rough, but Gao Han still arranged for young players and substitutes to play, and finally won 3-0 away from home, with all three goals coming in the second half.

At the weekend, in the 15th round of the Premier League, Chelsea traveled north to challenge Leeds United.

The Young Guard, who once swept the Europa, are currently at the bottom of the table and have a rather sluggish performance.

Chelsea were almost effortless, winning 2-0 away from home, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Samuel Eto'o scoring in succession.

Manchester United quickly came out of the shadow of the Stamford Bridge defeat and beat Aston Villa 4-0 at home.

Arsenal continued to suffer draws, drawing 1-1 away at Leicester City, with Thierry Henry continuing his goal drought.

Newcastle drew 1-1 at home to Liverpool in this round, and the center striker Shearer scored again, completely counterattacking Henry and climbing to the top of the scorer list.

A week later, in the 16th round of the Premier League, Chelsea sat at Stamford Bridge and swept Bolton Wanderers 2-0 cleanly, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic and John Terry scoring in succession.

Manchester United beat Manchester City 3-1 at home to win the Manchester derby.

Arsenal finally came out of the embarrassment of a winless streak with a narrow 1-0 win over Blackburn, with Bergkamp scoring goalscorrespondents.

In midweek, Chelsea travel north to Birmingham City to take on Aston Villa in the last eight of the Carabao Cup.

The Blues, who were still on the bench and in the youngster line-up, conceded a goal away from home, but then scored twice in a row to defeat Aston Villa and advance to the semi-finals 2-1.

Also in the semi-finals are Arsenal, Middlesbrough and Bolton.

At the weekend, in the 17th round of the Premier League, the final round before Christmas, Chelsea travelled to Fulham.

The cold side were met with stubborn sniping from their local team, and although they dominated the first hour, they were never able to find a way to break down the Fulham goal, and finally won 1-0 against Fulham in the 63rd minute thanks to a sneak attack by Samuel Eto'o.

With his goal in this game, Samuel Eto'o has also scored eleven goals in the Premier League this season, and is just one step away from Thierry Henry's twelve.

The Gunners drew 1-1 with Bolton Wanderers and Thierry Henry's goal drought continued.

Alan Shearer topped the scoring charts with 15 league goals, followed by United's Ruud van Nistelrooy with 13, Thierry Henry third with 12 and Samuel Eto'o fourth with 11.

Ibrahimovic scored eight goals, tied with three other players, including Owen.

After the seventeenth round, it was Christmas.

…………

…………

Since last year, most of European football has begun to tighten its purse strings, and every penny has to be calculated, and even the annual Christmas carnival has begun to shrink significantly, or even cancel it outright.

According to Premier League tradition, Christmas parties should be held early in order to avoid the Christmas devil schedule.

But I don't know if it was because the management took over the team for the first time, resulting in a lack of experience in this area, and there was no movement in this area, and it was not until before Christmas that the team was temporarily informed that there would be no party this year.

This made everyone in Harrington feel a sense of loss.

If you want to say that the results are not satisfactory in normal times, financial difficulties, and it doesn't matter if you don't hold it, now they are all the leaders of the Premier League, backed by the Russian boss with deep pockets, and it is a little too much to say that it will not be held.

At the very least, Tottenham Hotspur in north London has already done it, and Arsenal has also held a Christmas dinner in advance, only Chelsea has nothing, and it is deserted, leaving the players full of loss.

According to Gao Han's original arrangement, he was going to invite the members of the coaching staff and their families to a Christmas dinner, after all, they have helped him a lot over the years.

But now, seeing that the players are unsettled, he simply waved his hand, took Christmas Day off, and invited all the players, as well as his family and children, to his Christmas party in advance.

The location is arranged in a high-end Chinese restaurant located in the south of Hyde Park, which has not been opened for a long time.

Gao Han's invitation was immediately appreciated by all the players, and after receiving the invitation SMS, all of them came to this high-end Chinese restaurant on time the next day, that is, Christmas Day, to attend the manager's Christmas party.

At first, they didn't feel anything, but when they heard the waiter politely call Gao Han the boss and set aside the entire second floor to set up a Christmas party for them, it dawned on them.

It turns out that this Chinese restaurant is named after the cold HAN.

After being discovered, Gao Han was not afraid to admit honestly, he was indeed one of the owners of this Chinese restaurant, and his partner was the top chef of a very famous chain catering company in China, and he was very familiar with Lin Xia's family, and he had always been interested in starting his own business.

But the Chinese translation is, Chinese.

This restaurant is located in the south of Hyde Park, the environment is very good, the decoration design is also from the domestic famous hand, very traditional Chinese flavor, the style is very high, even the furnishings, tables and chairs and tableware are traditional Chinese style, but also add a lot of Western flavor, such as the bar, open kitchen and the like, it seems to be a combination of Chinese and Western.

For Gao Han, investing in a restaurant is nothing, and he cares a lot about whether he can make money, so he doesn't care about running anything, and basically leaves it to his friends to take care of his partner, and even if there is something, Lin Xia comes to take a look.

The Chinese restaurant has just opened, and the business is relatively average, plus Christmas, so there are fewer customers.

But the cold treat, Chelsea Christmas party, naturally attracted the British media reporters to follow.

They all know very well that the Premier League's annual Christmas party always has something going on, and there is even some exciting scandal.

Gao Han saw that they were also working hard, and he kept squatting outside the door of the restaurant, so it was rare to be bold, and asked the hotel waiter to invite them all in and invite them to a hearty dinner.

Allowing reporters to participate in such an open and honest manner made the ill-intentioned reporters a little embarrassed, and they were embarrassed to dig up any more insider information, but in fact, there was really nothing to shoot.

The only thing that stood out was Gao Han's Christmas greetings, as he urged all the Chelsea players to keep up their arrogance and continue to win not only the Premier League title this season, but as many cups as possible.

"Not only this season, but next season, and the Champions League, we all work together and work together, and I firmly believe that no one can stop us!"

Gao Han's bold remarks were also unanimously supported and responded to by most of the players in the audience.

Finally, the Chelsea players asked their acquaintances to take a group photo of them, and everyone gathered in the middle of the group, showing the unity within the team.

Gao Han even jokingly said that he wanted to enlarge the photo and hang it on the wall of his office.

And this photo also appeared in major British newspapers.
