In order to be fully committed to the knockout stages of the Champions League, Chelsea must pick up enough points in the league to ensure that even if something happens, they don't lose their lead.

The whole team understands that, so they work together.

In the next round of the 24th round of the league, Chelsea's opponents were Stoke City, with Lin Yu scoring a goal and providing an assist to win the game away from home and the team continue to lead the table.

In the twenty-five rounds of the league, Chelsea's opponent was Arsenal, although Wenger had a desire for revenge, and the whole Arsenal team did not want to lose to Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium, but in the face of Lin Yu, who began to break out again, they were really unable to resist.

In this game, Lin Yu was completely practicing for the Champions League knockout round, he not only played very hard, but also varied, sometimes cutting inside on the side to shoot, sometimes breaking through the middle to shoot, in order to find the most suitable shooting position for him now.

These days, he is full of challenge copies in the ball king cultivator, and he has no time to practice for the game, so he has to put this matter into the official competition.

Perhaps it was unintentionally inserted into the willows, Wenger had already figured out a way to at least weaken Lin Yu's offensive, but because Lin Yu's way of playing cards that did not follow the routine at all, the original plan was all ruined, which made Lin Yu not only score a brace again, but also let Chelsea easily take a victory from the Emirates Stadium.

Although the whole Arsenal team is very unwilling, but losing is losing, and Lin Yu scored with his ability. Chelsea also won the game by their ability, not by the referee. Second, they didn't rely on shameless fouls, so they couldn't accept it.

As of this game. Lin Yu has scored 30 goals in the league, which is only eight goals short of his record of 38 goals last season.

There are thirteen rounds of games in the future, even if Lin Yu has fewer goals in the league because of the Champions League, I believe that eight goals can still be achieved, so it should not be a problem to tie last season's goal record, and now people are concerned about whether Lin Yu can break the record set by himself and achieve a record of 40 goals.

Last season, many people were looking forward to this, but unfortunately because of Chelsea's early title win. Lin Yu did not play in a few games later, lost a great opportunity, and this season is a bit special, Chelsea has not been able to pull down too much distance from the second place so far, if it goes on at this pace, until the last two rounds, I am afraid that the championship is difficult to know, because of this, people have expressed very strong confidence in Lin Yu to score 40 goals in the league this season.

However, the media does not seem to be paying much attention to this matter. Because they are more focused on the other thing, and that is that the Champions League knockout rounds kick off in the middle of next week.

Chelsea's opponents, Atletico Madrid, are not a big club, but they are not a good bone to gnaw on, plus the in-form Diego Costa. Chelsea want to eat it easily, and they really have to watch out for indigestion.

What the media is most concerned about is Lin Yu's state. Will Lin Yu, who has just scored twice against Arsenal, be able to continue his excellent form in the league?

"We can't ignore the fact that we can't ignore that. Whenever there is a competition in which Lin Yu participates, it always attracts special attention! He has even become a more eye-catching star than Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. It's not just because of his skills. More because his character is always full of controversy, you can hate him, envy him, but you can't ignore him, he is a person with a strong sense of existence, no matter where he goes, he will attract countless eyeballs! ”

"The abnormality at the beginning of the group stage, to the final full-scale outbreak, Lin Yu seems to be eager to prove his strength, but the knockout round is different from the group stage, this is not allowed for you to make mistakes, whether Lin Yu can play a game that satisfies the fans in the game, it is really worth looking forward to."

"This is the second time he has won the FIFA Ballon d'Or, which means that coaches and captains around the world have recognized his ability, so let's keep our eyes open to see if he can translate that glory into quality in the game."

'Does Chelsea meeting Atletico Madrid, not Barcelona or Bayern Munich, mean that Platini is not in the way? Can it be said that he no longer minds Lin Yu's former youth and frivolity? Or is Platini worried that Barcelona or Bayern Munich will be eliminated by Chelsea, so he doesn't dare to arrange these two teams as Chelsea's opponents? ”

"We have asked Lin Yu more than once if his words at the Champions League ceremony were just angry words? That's what he told us was his goal this season, to win the Champions League twice in a row! He thinks that the so-called magic spell is not worth mentioning, is this blasphemy, or does he really have absolute faith? We'll know when the knockout rounds begin. ”

"Probably someone in Chinese families has to stay up late at night again, can they not watch Lin Yu's game? For a loyal fan, not watching Lin Yu's game is as uncomfortable as not eating! ”

Maybe it's to exaggerate the atmosphere of the Champions League knockout round, maybe it's just to make Lin Yu famous, in short, a large number of newspapers have reported some things about Lin Yu at length, and then take him as the focus of the discussion in the Champions League knockout round, and then compare him with Messi and Ronaldo, which of the three will lose the quarterfinals and who can advance to the quarterfinals, which is really concerning.

Catalan media boast of Messi;

Madrid media support Cristiano Ronaldo;

The Munich press promoted Ribery;

The media in London praised Lin Yu lavishly.

What these media say may not be true, but there is no doubt that the four people they selected are really representatives of the four teams that are quite competitive.

Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Chelsea are all favourites to win the title this season, while Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Franck Ribery and Lin Yu are the core players of these teams.

In short, each has its own words. Show what it can do.

Lin Yu is now a little annoyed by the media, whether he trains or goes home every day. There were always a large number of reporters who followed him and asked him questions that he might have answered more than once.

"What do you think of Atletico Madrid?"

"What do you think of Diego Costa?"

'Do you think Chelsea can easily win Atletico Madrid? And then make it to the quarterfinals? ”

"How many goals are you going to score in the game?"

Similar questions, sometimes just a different way of asking, Lin Yu wondered if these reporters were colluding, and they all discussed it in private, otherwise how could they ask everything exactly the same?

In the face of this kind of encirclement and interception, in the face of stalking, Lin Yu simply went out and went home with Hua Lian, who dared to approach Lin Yu, Hua Lian would do it directly. Anyway, Lin Yu is not afraid of offending reporters, otherwise he will really be annoyed to death.

In fact, it is very simple to answer these questions, he has answered them more than once, he always tells these people that if he wants to win the Champions League twice, it means that he has to kill all his opponents before there, in this case, it is simply a question of whether he can beat Atletico Madrid. If you can't even beat Atletico Madrid, how can you win the championship?

The media forced him so much, just to make him take the initiative to admit that he had said big things before, and wanted to see his jokes. But he couldn't let these people get their wish.

What are you kidding, isn't it Atletico Madrid? We at Chelsea don't even have Bayern Munich and Barcelona in mind, a small Atletico Madrid. Do you deserve to fight with us?

Lin Yu didn't mean to despise Atletico Madrid, but it has to be said that the fact is. Fresh off the start of the season in the UEFA Super Cup, they lost to Chelsea. And it's still a complete defeat, against Chelsea, Atletico is really not good.

"Lin Yujun, I don't think you have to take those people's words seriously." Seeing Lin Yu's face constantly changing, Hua Lian thought he was angry, so he comforted.

Who knew that Lin Yu smiled and said, "You think I'm angry?" Actually, I'm happy, when I went to Mu Shuai's house as a guest before, his wife said that I was a bit violent, and it was mentally violent! I just like to slap those people's faces and watch their jokes, but she's not wrong at all, I'm really a bit of a mentally violent person. ”

Midweek is coming soon, the first leg of the matchup between the two teams will be played at Chelsea's home stadium Stamford Bridge, although Atletico Madrid's influence is completely incomparable with his city team Real Madrid, but Chelsea is the absolute giant today, Lin Yu is the most media attention player, so this game, gathered in London There are a lot of reporters, and the Chinese media, which used to be only broadcast in the mainland, have also sent people to the scene to broadcast live, and also plan to do some interview work with Lin Yu.

Two consecutive FIFA Golden Ball Awards, three consecutive Champions League Golden Boots, and consecutive league titles for Dortmund and Chelsea, such a person has long become a national idol, no, it is not just an idol, but represents a symbol of democracy, and many media have even raised Lin Yu's status to the level of a national hero.

Lin Yu really didn't dare to take it seriously, he was just a player, at most he was a famous star, a hero was not a hero, a national hero was even more nonsense, he played football at the beginning, not for anyone, but simply because he liked the sport, until now, his pure love for football has not changed, otherwise, he would not continue to pursue a record-breaking style of play.

The fans of the Demon King Club not only unfurled a banner embroidered with a huge full-length portrait of Lin Yu, but also embroidered two golden goal trophies on them, as well as all the trophies won for Chelsea in the past two seasons.

I have to say that they really did hard work, this banner is beautifully made, and it is also very morale.

On both sides of the banner, a column of words was written: "The Demon King is here, the heroes are afraid!" ”

These two columns of characters not only have notes in Chinese, but also have a standard translation in English, so it is very feeling to look at.

Today, Stamford Bridge has been expanded to accommodate around 70,000 people, and the size of the stadium's stands has almost doubled to accommodate more fans, which is the most powerful evidence of Chelsea's growing influence.

Before the game even started, and there were at least three or four hours before the start time, fans were already feeling the Stamford Bridge stadium one after another, and the blue Chelsea home kit was like a sea of blue, which would scare the few Atletico Madrid fans.

Due to the large number of fans, for safety reasons, when the buses of the two teams arrived at the stadium early, the local riot police and the on-site security guards worked together to ensure that the players of both teams entered smoothly.

Perhaps because they felt that it was not a problem for their team to win Atletico, Chelsea fans did not do much against the Atletico players, such as interfering with the rest of the Atletico players, booing the Atletico players' buses and so on.

They don't bother to do those things, if the opponent is Bayern Munich or Barcelona, they can try, but Atletico Madrid is completely unnecessary, the fans are very real people, the players may have to compliment the opponent, but the fans will never say anything against their will. They just think Atletico are weak. (To be continued......)
