Richards is right, although I don't know why Lajili let Tang Wu go to the Czech Republic with the team, but Tang Wu's entire trip to the Czech Republic was like a publicly-funded tour, and he went to someone's territory to watch a ball game.

In Group G's Champions League group stage, Chelsea's first opponent was Sparta Prague of the Czech Republic.

Sparta Prague have been in a terrible league run of late times, picking up just 10 points from seven games.

In the face of the "extravagant" Chelsea battleship, Bu pulled a person to put on a stubborn posture as soon as he started.

In the opening three minutes, Johansen crossed from the right, and Mutu jumped up in the box to press two defenders in an attempt to head the goal, but the ball was deflected off the line.

In the 15th minute, Petit burst forward on the left and passed, but Crespo's shot was weak and easily defused by the opposing goalkeeper.

Those two shots were the best two chances of the first half for the two Serie A strikers.

Prague, on the other hand, used a few ferocious frontcourt presses to make the Blues jump at the back, when the possession rate was much lower than that of their opponents.

If it weren't for Makelele's timely retreat, the Prague man's two frontcourt breaks might have reaped miraculous results!

At half-time, Lasli said to the oncoming Mutu: "Adrian, you take a break in the second half, Damien will come on in your place." ”

"Good coach!" Mutu was a bachelor, and he lay down in a chair in the dressing room with a big grin, and rested peacefully.

Although Lajli didn't say anything, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the coach was very dissatisfied with the Romanian's performance!

"Petit, you too, Frank has already warmed up." Rakelli made two personnel changes in a row.

Patit looked at Frank Lampard to the side, who shrugged his shoulders and said everything was up to the referee's wishes.

The atmosphere in the locker room was very dull, and everyone came from all over the world and didn't know each other very well. Coming together in twos and threes, they have their own "little gangs".

"Claude, you know what? The coach just got angry! Tang Wu, who has the thinnest foundation in Chelsea, took the initiative to get to Makelele's side and whispered.

Makelele is a midfielder, and it is necessary for Tang Wu to have a good relationship with him.

"Oh? What's wrong? "Sure enough, curiosity is human nature, despite the different skin tones.

"It's not because of Adrian's interview the other day!"

"Is that so?" Makelele frowned, remembering Mutu's "wild words" in front of the media a few days ago: "If this is the case, then he performed so poorly today, and the coach should be angry!" ”

After scoring twice a few days ago, Mutu was gradually embraced by discerning Chelsea fans.

But apparently the Romanian's emotional intelligence is not very adequate, and in the face of a reporter's question, he went so far as to say: "I joined a great club, and that makes me very happy." But if you ask me if there's a team I want to play for someday, it's Real Madrid. If you want to push your career to the top, you have to play for Real Madrid. ”

How can such a "different heart" not arouse the disgust of Lapinli?

Coupled with the fact that Mutu's girlfriend was in a divorce lawsuit with him during this time, Lajili became more and more dislike this guy who had a debauched private life and didn't care about the team's honor at all.

Even if he made a great contribution to Chelsea at the start of the league game!

Shortly after Rakli had finished his tactics, the bell rang for the start of the second half. Everyone was dressed up and returned to the venue one after another.

At the start of the second half, Crespo had two chances in a row.

In the 50th minute, Frank Lampard made a brilliant pass, and Crespo successfully countered offside. But the Argentine didn't seem to wake up yet, and after winning the ball, he seemed to pass and shoot, which was directly confiscated by the goalkeeper.

In the 52nd minute, Johansen shook off two defenders and Crespo went on a one-handed shot, but the opposing goalkeeper struck in time to confiscate the ball.

Two missed chances in a row left Rakelli roaring from the sidelines.

Even if one is in a sluggish state, the same is true for two?

"Fack! Although I am Italian, there is a kind of you who ask Inter Milan not to sell you! Rakli's face darkened after he roared.

Speaking to the media before the game, Crespo said: "My dream was to play for the Italian giants and I finally achieved it. But some people had a different opinion from me and sold me out. ”

"And I'm not comfortable living in London right now, and I haven't even found a suitable place to live!"

The two former Serie A strikers are both "ape-hearted", and it has become even more difficult for La's team to win this game!

As the minutes passed, the Prague counterattacks gradually increased as their physical strength wore off.

Cudicini was high at the end, but still in danger.

Had it not been for Makelele's wholehearted involvement in the defence, the Prague would have celebrated loudly.

In the 85th minute, La's voice was already hoarse, and he was replenishing water on the sidelines.

At this point in the game, there is very little role for the coach to play.

Crespo was also substituted 15 minutes ago and is now replaced by Jurgen Hasselbaink.

At that moment, Duff, who had only been substituted in the second half, suddenly accelerated, and the Irishman used his skillful skills to get past the opposition full-backs and go straight to the bottom of the cross. Hasselbaink tapped forward, and centre-back Galla picked up his thigh and smashed the Prague defence close to the pitch with a heavy shot.

Seeing this goal, the tense nerves on the sidelines finally breathed a sigh of relief and swung his fist hard. Anyway, finally the goal was scored!

Even if half of the credit for the ball goes to the offensive mastermind Duff.

"Am I really wrong?" Looking at the Chelsea players on the field who raised their hands and cheered, Lajli actually had such an unrealistic "fantasy" in a trance.

Back at the start of the season, Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson predicted. Chelsea have invested heavily in so many overlapping superstars, and one day there will be a conflict because of this!

Almost a month into the new season, Ireland star Duff has become the "first crack in the new Chelsea"!

It stands to reason that among the Chelsea stars, Duff is in no position to complain: except for being on the bench in the second leg of Champions League qualifying, Duff has started every game.

But the problem is that Duff has never played a 90-minute game so far.

Speaking after the Tottenham game, Duff complained: 'It's hard for me, it happens every game and I don't like to be taken off by a manager when I'm just getting into shape. If this is the coach's tactic, I have nothing to say; But I don't think I'm a player who can only play half a game! ”

Another thing that upset Duff was that Rakari always swapped his place from place to place. Coincidentally, teammate Geremi made the same point.

In this way, after Duff's public "attack", he was placed on the bench in today's Champions League group stage.

Although Duff was rarely seen before Chelsea's goal, Latney had to admit that half of the credit for the goal belonged to Duff.

After the Blues scored, Rakelli patted his head in an attempt to make himself more sober.

Past performances on the pitch and the fame of the players will not be a condition for Lajelli's selection, as he made clear at the start of the season.

He wants players who can play their strengths when they are obedient and stable; It's not like Mutu who is complacent with a little achievement, it's not like Crespo who misses his former players with a little setback, and it's not like Duff who is a little dissatisfied and questions him as a coach!

After a difficult 90 minutes, Chelsea won 1-0 away from home.

Speaking at his post-race press conference, Lajli said: "We're like a good team in Formula 1, we're not bad, but we're not Ferrari, McClaren and Williams yet. ”

"I'm sorry, Mr. Rakari!" A reporter raised his hand and asked, "What does Mr. Choko think about the news that Mr. Abu offered to loan him to Spartak Moscow for one year on the first day he bought him?" ”

In fact, it's not just Duff and Geremi who have emotions about playing issues, but also Joe Cole, who has only played 46 minutes in total.

In today's game, Joe Cole was still on the bench. As Ranieri said, Chelsea as a whole did a good job, but not enough to get past the opposition as easily as a Ferrari.

"I didn't know I thought about the news, maybe you could ask Mr. Abu!" After pinch and prevaricate, he left the press conference with the manuscript.

As soon as he walked out of the door, La's face, which was still smiling just now, immediately darkened.

After walking for a while, Lajli suddenly stopped and said to Richards beside him, "Bren, how is that Chinese boy?" ”

Richards was prepared, and while flipping through today's record, he said: "He watched the whole game very seriously, and he answered some questions you asked me very clearly. Well, that's his answer at the time. ”

Lajili flipped it over casually, a rare smile on his face.

"Go and tell the kid that Cudicini will rest for the next game and get him ready to play."
