Chapter 18 The Crowd Is Hard to Reconcile

Chelsea's hard-fought win was matched by a 5-0 thrashing of Panathinaikos at Old Trafford.

Although the Red Devils' goal machine, Ruud van Nistelrooy, failed to score a single goal, and from those 90 minutes of play, no one in Panathinaikos could keep up with Ruud van Nistelrooy.

For a time, the British media jointly praised Manchester United and belittled Chelsea, and this result really made the Blues ashamed.

The nouveau riche is the nouveau riche, and when the real man sees the real chapter, the lack of background will be completely revealed.

Just after Duff tore open the 'first rift', midfielder Frank Lampard also expressed his displeasure at putting himself on the bench during the game.

In the just-concluded Champions League group stage, Lakli discharged a "strange formation". Compared with the lineup in the previous game against Tottenham, there were seven changes at once!

Duff, who openly "rebelled" before the game, was put on the bench, and many fans joked: "Don't you complain that the playing time is always less than 90 minutes?" Claudio Ranieri didn't let you play in the first half this time, and came off the bench in the second half to make up for 90 minutes. ”

But this time it was not only Duff, but Frank Lampard, who has started every game since the start of the season, was also "tied" to the bench.

Speaking to the English media after the game, Frank Lampard admitted he was "disappointed and hurt" with Ranieri's decision. 'It hurts me because I want to play in the Champions League and it's important for me and everyone else,' he said. I was disappointed to be left on the bench. ”

Frank Lampard has publicly accused Chelsea of a 'rotation system' that has put the Italian on the cusp.

As if to appease Frank Lampard, Ranieri said after the game: 'There is no longer such a thing as a starting 11 at Chelsea today, all the players are my first-team players. ”

At the same time, Lajelli defended Crespo, who had squandered many chances but had a valuable starting spot: "Crespo is having a hard time adapting to the game at the moment because his season preparation period is different from other players. But he's a smart player and he's going to get better and better. He had a couple of good chances tonight but I won't be disappointed that he didn't score. It's going to happen to any goalscorer, he's always creating chances and soon he'll be scoring for Chelsea. ”

Hurried back from the Czech Republic, the Blues were back at Stamford Bridge for the next league fixture.

This season, the Blues have to deal with not only the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup and League Cup.

Although the latter two are still early in their first game, for the Premier League, it is the last laugh that is the most crucial.

There are too many examples of teams in the history of the Premier League who are leading in league points losing the title in the final legs of the league because they played in the cup competition.

It was a long-term battle, and the day after we returned, the team split into two teams and played against each other at Stamford Bridge.

As Lapali himself says, Chelsea currently have a large pool of top players. But how to combine them to make the most of it will take time and the test of the game.

Like Lego, some people struggle to build a garage, while others build a Notre Dame Cathedral casually.

During this time, Rakelli has been under tremendous pressure to transform Chelsea while also ensuring good results for Chelsea in the new season. For the Italian, it's a dragon or a worm, and it's up to him how long it takes him to put these superstars together!

Every time the starting list is arranged, it is like a "grand gamble" for Lajli. You must know that Abu has begun to be dissatisfied with him, and with Abu's brokerage situation, it is a matter of minutes to dig up a famous teacher at will!

In this match, due to Cudicini's rotation for the next game, the second Sullivan stood in front of the goal line of the substitute team.

In his opinion, this is a signal for the next game!

Although Tang Wu is with Crespo and Mutu, many of the main midfielders of the main team are on the side of the substitute team this time.

On the whole, the strength of this "substitute team" is much stronger than a few days ago.

Even so, the main team still maintained the formation of fighting in the opposing half. Under high pressure, the substitutes can only play long passes and counterattack.

But every time after a long pass through the half, the main team will quickly intercept the ball, and then form an attack again.

On the sidelines, Richards was yelling instead of Rakli. The Italians, on the other hand, frowned, not knowing what they were thinking.

In front of the penalty area, Mutu flicked a header from Frank Lampard's cross and Sullivan kept the ball out with one palm. But Crespo had already predicted where the ball would land and made the shot.

Seeing this, Lajili suddenly made up his mind and said: "Richards, I have already decided, let TOM play in the game the day after tomorrow!" ”

"Coach, Sullivan has done his best!" Richards also thought that Lajli was unhappy with Sullivan's save just now.

"No, it's not like that!" Rakelli shook his head, "If I had let TOM keep the goal just now, Adrian wouldn't have been able to take the ball at all. ”

......

Crespo has been troubled lately, having been in London for almost a month, and he has not even found a suitable place to live.

As Chelsea's "Mr. Ten Million", he can't just find an apartment in the community like Tang Wu. However, the villa is a bit far from Stamford Bridge, which has led to the Argentina international spending recent time in the players' dormitory.

Why don't you score yet?

I have to score at least five in every team practice match!

Crespo is really starting to miss his days in Serie A, at least in Serie A, where he can still score a goal every three or five times. Even when he is not in good shape, he will not be placed on the bench by the coach like tomorrow.

In the last Champions League group stage, Mutu suffered a minor injury.

But even so, tomorrow's forward start will still not have his Crespo name!

"Ha, that Chinese Tom cat can start, it seems that the coach must be blind!"

"Maybe he often picks up soap for the coach!"

"Hahahahaha......"

Recalling the scene in the afternoon when he saw tomorrow's starting list, Crespo's face darkened again as he lay on the bed.

That acrobatic kid can start for the team, why can't I?

That night, Crespo, like poor goalkeeper Sullivan, lay in bed like a pancake and couldn't sleep.

......

On September 20, in the broadcast hall, Zhan Jun unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and moistened his throat.

In the game that just ended, Liverpool won 2-1 at home to Leicester.

Anfield Stadium is a blessed place for Leicester City, who have won three of Liverpool's last five away games.

But tonight's Anfield was more of a revolution, with a number of wasted chances that have kept the Reds away from victory on many occasions, and goalscoring efficiency has been key to that revolution.

Owen's penalty and his unrelenting Huskey were key to the revolution, and by the end of the game, Owen had scored six goals and was temporarily tied with Nicolas Anelka and Beattie for the top scorer.

Such a hearty game made Zhan Jun, a fan of the Red Army, excited, and even after the game was over, he still echoed in Husky's heart-wrenching header.

"Hey, Zhan Dacai, why are you stunned!" Huya Mei shook her hand in front of Zhan Jun.

"What's the matter, Min?" Looking at the Huya girl in front of him, Zhan Jun, who was woken up from his memories, really couldn't get angry.

"Brother Liu, his wife seems to be sick, and he asked me to ask if you can help him get off work."

"Lao Liu? Next game? Do I have any other choice if he cuts first and then plays like this? Zhan Jun frowned, his voice was still a little hoarse after the broadcast had just ended, if there was another one, the tonsils might strike.

"Hehe, I don't care!" The corner of Huyamei's mouth grinned, and she handed over an A4 paper, "Oh, this is the information of both sides in the next game." ”

"Chelsea? Wolverhampton Wanderers? Zhan Jun took the information and flipped through it casually, and the names of the two teams that were about to fight came into view. I remember that Wolves just rushed to the Premier League this year, and there is still a certain gap between them and an old Premier League powerhouse like Chelsea! ”

"That's right!" Every time she sees Zhan Jun's ease with all the Premier League teams, Huyamei's eyes will narrow into a crescent moon, "But that's not the point!" Here's the point! ”

Huya Mei said, and turned the information to the starter as if she was courteous, "This is the data that has just been transmitted, Zhan Dacai take a look!" ”

"Forwards: Hasselbaink, Gudjohnsen..."Zhan Jun casually translated from top to bottom, and at the end, a touch of surprise suddenly appeared on Zhan Jun's face that was still full of boredom just now, "Huh? Tang Wu? He started?! ”
