The day after the third-round match against Liverpool, the headlines in the English newspapers were all about Ello.

This is true even in China, thousands of miles away, and as Iroh's fame in the Europa League grows, more and more newspapers will more or less include some reports about Iro, even the real-time newspaper and the entertainment newspaper.

It's quite like a national football newspaper.

In fact, in addition to focusing on Elogh's hat-trick to help Chelsea win three consecutive league games, the English newspapers of the day reported on Manchester United's defeat in the Manchester derby.

But it doesn't have much to do with Iroh.

A week later, Chelsea returned to host Portsmouth at Stamford Bridge.

Iello continued to be in fine form in the league, first breaking the deadlock with a corner in the opening six minutes, then setting up Frank Lampard to open the scoring just before half-time, and then cleverly setting up Didier Drogba to open the scoring with a goal and two assists in the second minute of the game, making him the man of the match again with a goal and two assists.

And Chelsea is also under the highlight of Elloh, unconsciously already 3 points ahead of the second place Manchester City in the league, you must know that this is only the beginning of the fourth round of the league......

At the same time, because there was no strong dialogue in the fourth round of the league, and the strong teams basically won the opponent, so the British newspapers focused on Chelsea.

It is worth mentioning that Manchester United, who have not won in the first three rounds, relied on the return of Cristiano Ronaldo, and he scored the only goal of the game to help Manchester United beat Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 at home, thus allowing the whole Manchester United team to breathe a sigh of relief......

Between the start of training this afternoon, there were obviously a lot more reporters on the periphery of Cobham's training, most of them from China and Spain, followed by local reporters from England, and it took a lot of energy for Iroh to get out of it and get into the base.

“oh-**！！ Today's reporters are so many! ”

As soon as Iroh came to the locker room and was about to change his training shirt, he heard Andy Lau's complaint in Africa, so he turned his head and said with a smile: "Don't tell sù I'm a reporter from Hollywood asking if you want to shoot Fast and Furious 4 or Mission: Impossible 4, I'm not so easy to fool......"

"Hey...... Look, what you say, am I that kind of person? Drogba smiled and waved, as if to say hello.

"It's hard to say, maybe ...... You're that kind of person! Lampard, who was arranging his shoes and socks on the side, said suddenly.

"I'll go, you guy...... By the way, Ai," Drogba suddenly remembered a Chinese proverb but couldn't remember how to say it, so he looked at Iroh, "What's that sentence called, what rat oil basin, inside and out?" ”

"The red-eyed rat comes out of the oil basin and eats inside and out!"

"Yes, yes, Frank, you guy who eats inside and out!"

“……”

Having won five successive Community Shield games at the start of last season, including a 4-2 win over Manchester United and a 3-1 win over Liverpool, there are now plenty of jokes between team-mates, a far cry from the atmosphere at the end of last season.

There is a saying that is quite true, victory can cover up a lot of things.

It took a few minutes of before Iroh learned from Drogba the reason why there were so many reporters at the entrance of Cobham's training base.

Originally... The group draw for the 2007-2008 UEFA Champions League season will begin, which means that the major awards of last season will be presented at the same time as the draw ceremony.

No wonder so many journalists want to interview themselves......

Before the fifth round of the league away to Aston Villa, as manager Jose Mourinho needed to travel to Monaco to participate in the draw for the 2007-2008 UEFA Champions League group stage, the training was presided over by assistant coach Villa Boas and fitness coach Falia, and Eiro, as the best player in the Champions League table last season, was naturally on UEFA's invitation list.

So at 9 o'clock in the morning on August 31, Iello boarded a direct flight to Monaco with coach Jose Mourinho, captain John Terry, and goalkeeper Petr Cech to attend the draw for the 2007-2008 UEFA Champions League group stage in Monte Carlo that afternoon, that is, the 2006-2007 UEFA Club Recognition Ceremony.

Aillo's success in leading Valencia last season was evident, as Valencia went unbeaten in all 13 games and won the UEFA Champions League in 2006-2007 unbeaten at the draw for the new season. It's normal to become the most popular.

The 2005-2006 Champions League Player of the Year has nothing to do with him, and the Best Striker award is only a fraction of a centimeter from him, but the 2006-2007 Champions League awards should not be gone, a player can score 21 goals in 13 Champions League games, if he can't win the best striker award, it is definitely UEFA shady.

As for the best player, it is even more uncontroversial, a player who has repeatedly relied on his personal ability to save the hero at a critical time cannot become the best player, then this selection cannot be described as shady, but a shame, a living shame!

Of course, Platini, the new head of UEFA, will not allow this to happen, even if he and Iello are fundamentally at odds.

At the draw ceremony, Iello met many of his former teammates and friends, David Villa, Albelda, Ballack, Albiol, Canizares and Wang Xiaolei, but at the back was head coach Flores, who looked unhappy.

As last season's Champions League winners, Valencia have the best candidates for every position.

Elo and Flores were just a simple manager and player relationship, the two didn't have much communication, just chatted a few words very casually, and then Ielo and his friends found a place to chat before the draw ceremony began.

Because this was the first meeting since Elloh's move to Chelsea, everyone naturally had a lot to say to him, and in the course of the conversation, he also knew the reason why Flores was not interested.

It turns out that Valencia's recent record is not good, after losing to Sevilla in the UEFA Super Cup and Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup, and then losing 0:1 at home to Villarreal in the first round of the league, losing three consecutive defeats at the beginning!

No wonder......

But this result is quite surprising for Elo, according to the current Valencia lineup, it is not bad, compared to Real Madrid and Barcelona's lineup, but in the midfield, it is still better, in this case, it has achieved three consecutive defeats, that is the level of the coach itself......

Of course, this was just thinking about it in Eloh's mind.

Thinking of this, Iroh began to yy.

It seems that Valencia can win so many championships not because of how high the level of the head coach is, but because he is strong enough to defy the sky, no wonder the 'last life' has not heard of Enrique Flores, the 'famous coach'! In the final analysis, the level still needs to be improved.

The draw for the group stage of the UEFA Champions League in 2007-2008 was held in conjunction with last season's award ceremony, which took place in the interval between draws.

The eight teams in Pot 1 are the top eight teams in European points who have qualified for the round of 32 this season, with Chelsea drawn from Group B.

First up was the best goalkeeper award.

Interestingly, two of the goalkeepers in the final three selections are from Valencia, namely Canizares and Wang Xiaolei, and the remaining candidate is Liverpool goalkeeper Reina.

The biggest reason why Wang Xiaolei was selected for the 2006-2007 Champions League Best Goalkeeper award was because he was nominated for his miraculous save in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final.

However, it is obvious that being able to enter the final three-person squad is also the final point that Wang Xiaolei can go to, after all, not being able to participate in the UEFA Champions League for the whole season is a hard injury that cannot be ignored.

In the end, Canizares, who wore a suit and a leather collar, won the award for best goalkeeper.

In last season's Canizares, in all 13 Champions League games, except for the final, which was suspended due to red cards, 11 and a half of them were full attendance, and at the age of 38, he was able to maintain a good form in such a top Champions League, high saves and defenses, and repeatedly denied the opponent's must-score goals, and deserved this award.

"First of all, allow me to thank one person here!"

Canizares said unexpectedly after receiving the trophy symbolizing the best goalkeeper in the Champions League from award presenter Hierro.

"Ai, I never thought I would be able to win a Champions League trophy before I retired, here... I want to use this platform to say to you from the bottom of my heart, thank you! ”

The footage of the scene was given quickly, and almost at the same time as Canizares called out Iroh's surname, it switched to Iroh's body, and used technical means to push it to a close-up of his face.

The spirit of short hair is meticulously groomed, with a clear masculine face, coupled with wearing a small suit carefully designed by Versace, the whole person is set off handsome and extraordinary, eye-catching, I don't know how many Huaichun female fans sitting in front of the TV have fascinated him at this moment.

In response to Canizares' thanks, Arlo stood up with a smile and waved his hand.

After the award for best goalkeeper was handed out, UEFA secretary-general Taylor continued to preside over the 2007-2008 Champions League group stage, with Chelsea's Eredivisie champions PSV Eindhoven drawn in Group B.

At the same time, Huang Jianxiang in the Beijing studio said excitedly: "The 'Chinese Derby' that I have been waiting for for three seasons of the Champions League has finally come true at this moment!" ”

The Chinese fans sitting in front of the TV were also excited at this moment, because with the rapid growth of the players of the 85 national youth generation and quickly becoming the young players focused on cultivating by various clubs, coupled with the 'Chinese derby' that often appears in the Bundesliga, it has also made the appetite of domestic fans become tricky, so when Chelsea with Iroh and Eindhoven with international Sun Xiang drew together, the Chinese fans in front of the TV were very excited.
