A lot of Chelsea players have found out about Thiago Mendes' problems, but they don't do anything, one is that the players on the pitch do their jobs, if they go to help others, their defensive positions may be leaky, and in addition, Chelsea is very competitive, some quality players can only sit on the bench, and there is a 'not very good' team-mate who performs poorly, but they are happy to see it, anyway, as long as it does not affect the win. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Most of Chelsea's players still don't think there will be any suspense in the game.

Thiago Mendes was even more embarrassed.

When he had problems defending his position, he didn't have any teammates to come to his feet and he was afraid that the opposition would really create good chances.

This time Fulham found their chance!

Andy Cole cut straight past Thiago Mendes and then slotted the ball high into the box.

"Danger!"

The Stamford Bridge commentator exclaimed.

Chelsea's penalty area is tightly defended, and even when the ball flies into the box, the average opposition player will struggle to find a chance.

But no matter how tight the defense is, it is not 100%.

When the opposition players were outstanding, the reaction was that Fulham were excellent up front, and Chelsea's defence was just as shaky.

The ball falls towards the middle of the penalty area.

John Terry is standing there, a pillar of Chelsea's centre-back and an absolute regular in the England squad.

Anyone has to face up to Terry's quality, especially his ability to defend high balls, which few people in the world remember and often when Terry is in the right position, it is easy to clear the ball.

McBride ran to Terry, a rare American player who started playing for Fulham last season.

McBride is 32 years old, but anyone in the Premier League has to face up to his ability to scramble for headers, and he is the best hope for the USA when it comes to headers.

Last year's Times assessment of McBride was, "The old-school centre-forward rarely misses in aerial scrambles, and with his excellent header and powerful final strike, he has the ability to make opposition defenders pay for it." ”

The Times evaluation is only an evaluation, but it also explains McBride's ability in some ways.

Now McBride meets Terry.

McBride hasn't played much so far in the game, but he feels like he's in very good shape, and this time he almost subconsciously ran into the middle of the box when he saw Andy Cole pass the ball.

Terry notices McBride, but doesn't pay attention to it at all, because he's in the best position.

But the moment the ball fell, McBride suddenly got stuck in front of Terry.

Terry was a little flustered!

When it was time to jump, Terry squeezed and jumped up, trying to clear with his head, but McBride grazed the ball with his head first.

Terry is in the air!

And that's not all!

The two collided hard in the air, McBride fell to the ground unsteadily, and Terry threw himself forward, lying on top of him.

At this time, no one paid attention to the confusion of the movements of the two, and everyone looked at the football flying towards the goal.

Cudicini in front of goal was a little flustered, he thought that Terry would definitely clear the ball, but he couldn't judge the path of the ball in the first place, and when he saw the ball flying over, he judged a little late.

Cudicini subconsciously pounced to the left!

Cudicini was right, but the trajectory of the ball was a little too high, and by the time he got into position, the ball flew over his arm.

――――

There was a moment of silence at Stamford Bridge as the ball flew into the back of the net, and no one expected it to be Fulham who scored first.

"Fulham scored?"

"That player seems to be called ...... Mike...... Brad? ”

"How so?"

For a moment, even the Fulham fans didn't react.

But!

When the reaction came, the Fulham fans erupted in the warmest cheers of the opening game!

"Hula......"

At that moment, the shouts of the Fulham fans completely became the mainstream of Stamford Bridge, and Graham, the British Sky Sports commentator in charge of broadcasting the game, shouted, "The ball is in!" GOAL!McBride, who headed Fulham to break the deadlock! The score became 0-1, and the lead was the visitors—"

"- Fulham!"

The Stamford Bridge commentator said incredulously, "The ball went in? It's McBride, and he's scored! Andy Cole's high pass! Andy Cole shook off Mendes and played a very high quality pass! ”

"0-1, Fulham are ...... ahead" The commentator almost didn't add a sentence "It's a pity" at the end.

This was followed by an emotional celebration of the whole Fulham team.

McBride was surrounded by a crowd of players, and he still couldn't believe it.

Before the game, all the media were analyzing how difficult it was for Fulham to play in this focus battle, and the media found a lot of reasons for 'Fulham must lose', each of which was very convincing, but now it is Fulham who is leading.

Now that we can take the lead, there is hope for victory!

A lot of players think so.

It was the same in the Fulham dugout, where Coleman raised his fist and shouted excitedly, he didn't maintain any gentlemanly demeanor anymore, and this moment should be celebrated excitedly.

Others also let off steam.

Martins, the team's team doctor, hugged Shen Yang, "Shen, we are ahead!" What you said worked! ”

Shen Yang was also very excited, he rarely experienced the excitement of football, "Yes, I didn't expect it either." ”

Coleman was excited, and couldn't help but come over and put his arm around Shen Yang's shoulder, "It's so beautiful!" Shen, fortunately you told me how to adjust, otherwise I wouldn't have imagined that the team would be ahead. ”

Everyone knew that the tactical arrangement just now was suggested by Shen Yang, and many people came to thank Shen Yang, even the substitute players.

If the average assistant coach had made a tactical suggestion and then adjusted the tactics to produce results, they would certainly not have done that.

Shen Yang is different.

Everyone knows that he does not belong to Fulham, but is only a 'guest' of Fulham for the time being, and that he will leave Fulham tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

No one could have imagined that he would be able to give such a constructive suggestion before leaving Fulham to give them a lead against Chelsea.

However, Shen Yang didn't think it was entirely his own credit, "It's better for everyone to play well, I can't imagine that McBride can score just now." ”

"Indeed."

Coleman and Martins nodded approvingly, and Martins quickly said, "But the players are in good shape, and it's also a credit to your team." ”

"Thank you." Shen Yang smiled, "I prefer others to recognize this, to be honest, I really don't know much about football." ”

Martins couldn't help but ask, "Will your team work with Fulham in the future?" For example, continue to train the players in condition? I am sure that if this game can be won, Mr. Fayyad will certainly not be stingy in inviting you. ”

"It depends on the situation, I'm not sure, but the cooperation is two-sided, and my sports center doesn't have this business for the time being, but there will definitely be opportunities to cooperate in the future."

Shen Yang said.

For the training business of assisting the football club to maintain the state of the players, Shen Yang has not yet figured out how to operate, this time to assist the Fulham club for ten days of state training, the effect is still obvious, the sports center will definitely be able to play some fame in European football, but the specific effect is not yet certain.

If you want to maintain a new business, it is definitely not enough to rely on a club alone, first of all, the fee standard cannot be raised, a team works for ten days, and only has an income of 100,000 euros, which is really too little.

Income is one aspect, but how the cooperation will be carried out is also a question.

The cooperation with Fulham FC is only a tentative one, not a formal one, in which there is a lot of room for manoeuvre, and the position of the training team in the team is also awkward.

Coleman, for example.

Coleman is the head coach of Fulham, and he has little support for 'form training', so much so that he has to 'accommodate' unnecessary training time throughout the training process, and the manager's lack of support affects the normal progress of 'form training'.

If it cooperates with other clubs, other managers do not support it, or even hold opposing opinions, then the 'state training' will definitely not be carried out, and the effect will not be said to be much, the outside media and fans will not care whether the training is carried out or not, they are concerned about the training effect, and no effect is equivalent to smashing the signboard.

These need to be considered.

If you want to cooperate in the future, you must talk about the possible situations in advance.

In Shen Yang's consideration, the game on the pitch continued, and after Chelsea conceded the goal, they launched a fierce attack on the Fulham goal.

Coleman hurriedly stood on the sidelines and shouted to raise the team's attention to the defense.

At first, it was just a defensive focus, and by less than five minutes, Fulham had become a full-fledged defence, with Andy Cole back in his own half, leaving only one McBride in front.

The game proved that the Fulham players are in excellent form indeed.

Chelsea attacked very fiercely, Fulham became extremely passive, but many players played well, there were few mistakes on the field, which made Chelsea have few chances, plus Van der Sar who opened the 'door god state' in front of the goal, fans can see the solidity of Fulham's defense.

This situation lasted until the end of the period.

At half-time, Coleman explained the tactics of the second half in the dressing room, which was basically to let all the players pay attention to the defense and rely on the individual ability of the players up front to seek counter-attacks.

This tactic is almost tantamount to giving up the offense.

All the players understood Coleman's thinking, and they actually had a similar idea – Fulham had a one-goal lead and there was no need to risk attacking again.

In this away derby, Fulham getting a point is equivalent to a victory, you must know that the opponent is Chelsea, the league is still unbeaten so far, and it is quite satisfactory to get a point at Chelsea's home stadium.

So in the second half, Fulham continued to defend solidly, to borrow Mourinho's words, "the opponent crossed a bus in front of goal". ”

In football, crowd tactics are the best defensive tactics.

It's a headache for any team to deal with crowds, and the same is true for Chelsea, especially with Fulham's players, who are finding it difficult to find holes and have to keep getting up and looking for opportunities on the perimeter.

It's too hard to score with this kind of attacking play.

Chelsea were undoubtedly very strong, having had three good chances in the second half, one of which came against goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar.

Van der Sar is in such good shape!

In the face of crisis after crisis in front of the goal, Van der Sar pounced left and right, transforming into a thousand-armed Guanyin to defuse the threat again and again.

In the end, Fulham held out until the last minute of the game.

Under the excitement of all the Fulham supporters, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and the long whistle of "beep ......" became the most beautiful melody, which drove all Fulham supporters to be full of emotion and also made all Chelsea supporters sad.

The media are excited!

No matter which camp of the media, the big news is the key, Chelsea's win against Fulham, there is nothing to report, flip it over, there is too much to report.

This is a big upset!

Not just because of Fulham's victory, but also because of Chelsea's previous unbeaten run, the Blues certainly did not expect their first defeat to come at Fulham, nor did they expect them to lose at Stamford Bridge.

Many media reporters are looking forward to the interview for a while.

Stamford Bridge turned into Fulham's home stadium, with the Fulham players celebrating the win and hugging each other in celebration.

Some players don't forget to give a hug to the Chelsea players, such as Andy Cole, as a former 'black and white' duo of Manchester United, he knows a lot of players, and is familiar with English players such as John Terry and Frank Lampard, and he gave Lampard a hug.

Lampard smiled bitterly, 'You guys played great!' ”

"Thank you!" Andy Cole grinned with joy.

In fact, for Andy Cole, it is difficult to bring excitement to the performance of his team, after all, no matter how good Fulham's performance is, it is impossible to match the former Manchester United, it is difficult for him to get any glory in Fulham, but he is still happy to win Chelsea, especially when he contributed the only assist in the game, so he was happy enough for several days.

Lampard couldn't help but say: 'You've all been doing well lately, I watched the last time you played Tottenham and it was quite good, I think it's weird, have you made any changes lately? ”

That's the doubt in Lampard's mind.

Fulham's last game against Tottenham Hotspur was too good to mention this one, everyone on the pitch seemed to be in great shape, Andy Cole did a good job defending, not to mention their goalkeeper Van der Sar, who was not only solid in front of goal, but also saved two must-score goals.

This performance is so surprising.

Andy Cole laughed, "Didn't you read those reports? We have a team from Huaxia doing state training, which is very useful, really! He emphasized.

"Huaxia's team? What kind of sports center is that? I think I've seen it, they're famous for having a team leader. ”

"Yes, that's Shen, it's amazing!"

"Does that really work? I've never heard of any form training. Lampard asked suspiciously.

"Of course, look at me and my teammates!"

Frank Lampard nodded solemnly, and he felt he should keep that in mind and tell the manager when he summarized and analysed it after the game.

What if Chelsea also had a 'form training team' to help them, otherwise they could have performed better?
