Chelsea's win away at Middlesbrough followed their unbeaten run of 57 league games from 2006-2007 to 2008-2009, leaving the English media and even the European mainstream media in awe and focused their attention on them.

Among them, the Italian media maintained a high level of attention.

Because AC Milan's 58-game unbeaten run in the league is a source of pride for Italy, they don't want Chelsea to break that hallowed record with Serie A on a slump as a whole.

Arsene Wenger's 49-game unbeaten run in the league has caused a stir across Europe, and is even considered a miracle of the 21st century, which shows how difficult it is to go on a 57-game unbeaten run in Europe's top league since the beginning of the new century.

Especially the Premier League, which claims to be the most competitive in Europe.

However, there is another game that will attract the attention of all Europe in the Premier League - the third round of the group stage of the 2008-2009 Champions League.

Interestingly, Chelsea's third-round group stage opponents were Serie A side Roma.

As a result, the local media in Italy began to talk to Roma in the hope that they would be able to finish off Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

This team can be said to be very familiar to Elo, who had the experience of playing against Roma in the group stage during the Valencia period, and the current Roma team has not changed much from the previous two seasons, still building the team with Totti and De Rossi as the core, and the head coach is still the bald Spalletti.

Speaking ahead of the game, Roma boss Luciano Spalletti expressed his confidence in leading his side to Stamford Bridge: 'Chelsea have been doing well this season and they are not invulnerable in our eyes and I firmly believe our wolf pack tactics can tear apart Chelsea's solid backline......

When asked how to defend Aillo, Pasletti was honest and said: "With a player of Ai's level, we don't think about how to limit him, but about getting more goals in our forward line!" ”

This is not in the ears of the English media, but when it reaches the ears of the Chinese media, it is called a fluttering ......

Although Roma coach Pasletti expressed full confidence before the game, in fact, Roma who came to the away game was extremely uncomfortable with the English competition, and the 2006-2007 Champions League quarter-final away to Manchester United was beaten 7:1 by the best number.

Of course, Roma did not lose 7:1 at Stamford Bridge, but lost 4:1, in which Ailo contributed two goals and one assist, which can be said to be the biggest contributor to the game.

The game was won, but Mourinho was not happy after the game, because the team has conceded goals in several games in a row, and as the most promising manager today, the requirements for the team are very strict.

The so-called defense determines the champion, and now that the league has only started for less than two months, the team has conceded goals one after another, how can he feel good?

Rather than a 4-1 victory, Mourinho would have preferred a clean 3-0

So...... After playing the third round of the Champions League group stage at home, Mourinho did not give the team a day off to relax, but punished the players for their negligence and practiced more.

With Spaniard Rafael Benitez facing Liverpool back in three days' time, Mourinho doesn't want any surprises on his side, even if not unbeaten in the upcoming 58 league games.

Besides, the team has a goal guarantee, how can there be a reason to lose?

The perfect result in Mourinho's mind is to concede a clean sheet, win the game, humiliate Benitez, and 'avenge' his friend!

On the day of Chelsea's training, the European mainstream media once again compared Iro, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, and Iroh scored two goals in the third round of the Champions League group stage, bringing his Champions League goals to four in a single season, while Messi did not score in this round of group stage, which means that Iello has equaled the number of goals.

In the other group game played at the same time, Cristiano Ronaldo scored a goal in United's home win over Celtic, meaning that the three of them scored four goals each, making it difficult for the mainstream European media to see who is in better form in this season's Champions League.

Therefore, it is also difficult to see which team will win the final Big Ears Cup.

France Football commented: "After three rounds of the Champions League group stage, Manchester United, Chelsea and Barcelona have played normally, winning all of their matches, and the core players of the team have contributed their own strength...... It is worth mentioning that Ai seems to have dropped in terms of numbers this season, scoring only four goals in the past three rounds...... It has been the most improved season for Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, will this represent a rebound in Cristiano Ronaldo's Manchester United and Messi's Barcelona? However, regardless of the outcome of this season's Champions League, how far the three teams can go in the end is inextricably linked to these three players......

Bild also said of the trio's form: "In the past three rounds of the Champions League group stage, Ai, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi have all scored four goals to help their respective teams win three consecutive victories, but we have to pay attention to the individual number between the three of them, Ai's scoring ability has a clear downward trend compared to the previous two seasons, while Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi have both improved compared to their previous numbers, which ...... Could it be an opportunity for Manchester United and Barcelona? ”

While the mainstream media in Europe discussed which of the three was the most popular, they also had to marvel at Elo's super performance in these four Champions League seasons, from the beginning of the 2005-2006 season to the 2008-2009 season so far, he has scored a staggering 61 goals in the Champions League, which is tied with Dutch star Ruud van Nistelrooy for the top spot in the Champions League scorer list.

The headline of the Torino Sports Newspaper, which has always had a good relationship with Elo, was "Unbelievable Efficiency!"

"Dutch star Ruud van Nistelrooy only played for PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League in the 1998-1999 season, while Ai played his first Champions League group game in the 2005-2006 season, and it is unacceptable that he scored an astonishing 61 goals in the Champions League in just four seasons, while the other No. 1 Van Nistelrooy only scored 61 goals in 10 seasons, sometimes we have to question whether he belongs to the earth, if Ronaldo is an alien, Then Ai is an extragalactic person......"

Similarly, the local media in London also had focused coverage, especially the Times, which was very detailed.

If Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi have the possibility of catching up with Ai, then let's look back at Ai's performance in the last four Champions League games, scoring 16 goals in 12 games in 2005-2006, 21 goals in 13 games in 2006-2007, and 19 goals in 13 games in 2007-2008, and four goals in the last three rounds of the Champions League group stage this season, which means that he scored a staggering 61 goals in 41 Champions League games. Tied with Real Madrid striker Ruud van Nistelrooy for Champions League top scorer...... So, Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi still have a long way to go! ”

China's domestic media even used the rare genius of a thousand years to describe Iro.

Liverpool's local media quickly returned to the league after Liverpool's Champions League draw at home to Atletico Madrid.

Liverpool have performed well in the first eight league games, with five wins, two draws and one loss, accumulating 17 points and ranking third in the league, behind Chelsea and Manchester United.

This result is still acceptable if it is placed in other teams, but it is two notches below Chelsea, which have won seven and drawn one in eight league games.

And as long as Chelsea do not lose to Liverpool in this round of the league, they can equal AC Milan's record of 58 league games in the top European league from 1991 to 1993, and the mentality is in the ascendancy.

In addition, Liverpool's rivals Arsenal are against promoted Mahool City in this round of the league, which means that they lose to Chelsea in this round of the league, and if Arsenal wins the game, then Liverpool will have to give up the third place in the league.

Now, Chelsea are about to set a magical record for Liverpool, which is an unacceptable result for the former European hegemon Liverpool.

Either way, Liverpool can't afford to lose.

Speaking to local reporters on the outskirts of Melwood's training base two days before the game, Benitez excitedly said: "We will win this league game at Stamford Bridge no matter what! "With that excited expression and movements, I almost said to the reporter that I lost the live broadcast and 'eat Xiang'......

Robbie Keane, the new season's Liverpool standard, also talked about the game in an interview with reporters, facing the local media of Liverpool, he was very confident: "I firmly believe that Liverpool brought me into the team at the beginning of the season is a very wise choice, and I will use my ability to repay the team's kindness, Liverpool is a great team, and I also firmly believe that I will become a great player with this great team......"

With matchday approaching, how can we miss Mascherano?

In his entire career, except for the penalty shootout defeat of Iro's Chinese Olympic team in the semi-finals of the Olympic Games, he has never faced Iroh again, but it is undeniable that Mascherano is a very professional player, indomitable and courageous.

'Our goal this season is to break the monopoly of Chelsea and Manchester United in the league, so our goal is to beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and get into the title race!'

Even if the local media in Liverpool know that this game is unlucky, at least they must show confidence that they will win, right?
