The Chinese sports media have been planning for the Chinese 'Champions League derby' between Chelsea and Schalke 04 for a long time, so with a week to go before the third round of the Champions League group stage, the team of major domestic media began to set off, and the lineup was second only to the 2006-2007 UEFA Champions League final.

Among the players in Europe of the 85 golden generation, the best mix is Elo, followed by Hao Junmin, who made a permanent move from Chelsea to Schalke 04 at the beginning of this season, followed by Borussia Dortmund's Feng Xiaoting and Napoli's Chen Tao.

Werder Bremen's Gao Lin has been affected by recent injuries, so his attention has dropped slightly, but his strength is not questioned, because he was the fourth highest scorer in the Bundesliga last season.

What's even more surprising is that he has several assists, ranking third on the assist list behind VanderVaart and teammate Diego, which is often referred to by basketball fans as the number of seasons in doubles.

In order to report on the most eye-catching Champions League 'Chinese Derby' in the history of Chinese football, CCTV sent a huge team of interviews and commentators, Huang Jianxiang, Zhan Jun, He Wei and Liu Jianhong were impressively listed, which means that the 'Four King Kongs' of CCAV-5 all came to London to report on the third round of the Champions League Group B.

The first subject of the interview was naturally Iroh, who was playing at home.

As soon as Mourinho announced his dismissal from training, Iello walked to the CCTV interview team that had been waiting for a long time with a smile.

Many media are hindered by the leading CCTV reporting team in China, and they do not dare to compete for business with the CCTV interview team, so they can only be a foil, otherwise they don't know the unspoken rules, so they can only wait.

CCTV eats meat, they drink soup.

"Would you like a handsome close-up?" Seeing Ailuo coming over, Huang Jianxiang, who had the best relationship with Ailuo, waved his hand and made a joke by the way.

Iroh didn't see it, and shrugged his shoulders: "If you're not handsome, you won't broadcast it!" ”

Immediately, Sun Pinghe, the cameraman next to Huang Jianxiang, immediately raised his right arm and made an 'ok' gesture, needless to say, these interview teams are already very familiar with Ailuo.

Since this is a training base at Cobham, Liu Jianhong, as the person in charge this time, shouldered the responsibility of communicating with Chelsea Football Club, after all, filming Iello alone cannot satisfy domestic fans, and only filming the whole team is more attractive.

After five minutes of simple negotiations, Mourinho readily agreed to CCTV's request, the only condition being that the time should not exceed half an hour.

Therefore, Ashley Cole, Frank Lampard, and Drogba, who are very familiar with Iello in the team, are all vying to show their faces on CCTV.

Later, when his other teammates heard that he was interviewed on national television, Cech, Terry, Essien and others took the initiative to join the interview.

Liu Jianhong, who was in charge of negotiating with Mourinho, looked at the Chelsea stars who were vying to show their faces on camera, and smiled knowingly, remembering that he had to wait for the schedule when interviewing internationally renowned stars in the past, and now because the team has a super strong and popular Aelo, these stars who were difficult to make appointments before took the initiative to ask for an interview.

made him have to sigh that the world still needs connections......

In late October, London had become significantly cooler, and in order to ensure that the Chelsea players did not catch a cold because they did not take a shower in time after training, the CCTV interview only lasted half an hour, but they were not dissatisfied, because the things filmed in this half hour were enough to use.

Next, they need to go to Schalke 04, which has already been booked.

After a few days of bombardment by CCTV, in addition to the fans who like to watch live football, many other sports fans are also full of interest in this upcoming Champions League 'Chinese Derby'.

This is the most important Champions League match in the history of Chinese football, and in a sense it is even comparable to the Champions League final played last season.

Because this is the real Chinese "Champions League derby"!

The third round of the Champions League group stage was packed at Stamford Bridge, which was filled with Chelsea fans, with fans from Schalke in Germany occupying only a tenth of the stands, or three or four thousand.

It is worth mentioning that the Schalke 04 fans sitting in the stands, some people held up the head of Hao Junmin, and this fan is not an eastern face, but a rough western face.

I have to say that Hao Junmin's ability has been recognized by Schalke 04 fans.

However, due to the obvious difference in the strength of their respective teammates in this game, Ellilo's Chelsea strength is significantly higher than Schalke 04's other players, so the two play is also very different, in the first half Ailo broke the deadlock with a set-piece opportunity, and in the second half assisted Lampard to extend the score.

In the end, the 'Chinese Derby', which was described by the Chinese media as the strongest Champions League in the history of Chinese football, ended the game with Chelsea 2:0.

Although Schalke 04 swallowed two eggs away from home, Hao Junmin's performance in the whole game was still remarkable, whether it was handling the ball or personal breakthroughs, it was excellent, and it was one of the highlights rarely used in the Schalke 04 team.

After the game, the hug between Iroh and Hao Junmin was also a highlight after the game, which murdered many Chinese media 'flywheels'.

Although the long-awaited Chinese 'Champions League derby' was not as close as expected, it also made fans who don't often follow football aware of the current capabilities of Chinese players.

Just as Hao Junmin can do Marseille maneuvers in front of world-class stars such as Essien and Frank Lampard during the game, these elegant dribbles have given them a better understanding of China's young players while enjoying football.

After this match, the enthusiasm of the Chinese fans did not fade because of this, because there is a potential 'Chinese derby' next!

Chelsea's next game is at home to Manchester City, which means that Chinese fans will have the chance to see Iello and Sun Hai in action in the Premier League.

However, Sun Hai was injured in training the day before the game, so he will certainly not be involved in the 11th round of the league at Stamford Bridge, so it is a bit of a disappointment for fans who are looking forward to the Chinese derby in the Premier League.

……

It is worth mentioning that the next game will be a big test for Chelsea as they come back after a week of doubles.

After playing Manchester City at home at the weekend, they will play Leicester City in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup at home.

The Carabao Cup will mean Chelsea will embark on a back-to-back away trip against Wigan Athletic two days later, then fly to Schalke in Germany for the fourth round of the Champions League group stage and return home to play a tough game against Everton.

In other words, Chelsea will play five games in the next 15 days, an average of one game in three days, which will be a big test of the team's overall fitness, as well as Mourinho's personnel.

Back-to-back double-game fixtures are a common occurrence for big clubs, especially teams like the Premier League, which play one more cup competition than other national leagues, so the fixtures are even more intense.

Considering that the opponent in the fourth round of the League Cup is Leicester City from the Championship, Mourinho used his usual starting line-up against Manchester City, with central strikers Drogba, Iello and Robben returning from injury on one side, Frank Lampard, Ballack and Essien in the middle, Ashley Cole at left wing-back, the return of the centre-back combination to the golden partner Carvalho and captain Terry, the right-back has changed, with Belletti from Barcelona on a free transfer, and the goalkeeper is still Cech.

Therefore, Manchester City was more tragic in this game, the big screen at the end of the first half showed 4:0, the home team in front, the away team in the back, of which Ailo contributed two goals, Drogba, Frank Lampard scored one goal each.

In the second half, Iroh took advantage of a mistake by England international Richards to make it 5-0, and he scored his second Premier League hat-trick.

In the end, Chelsea beat Manchester City 5-0 at home.

Next up is the League Cup, Mourinho made a large number of changes to the starting lineup in order to rest the main players, but what he didn't expect was that Leicester City, a team from the Championship, showed amazing strength, and at the end of the first half, it was two goals away from home Chelsea.

As the saying goes, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat.

Jose Mourinho did not want to give up the Carabao Cup lightly, because it was not yet the time for a real third-tier battle, and the victory of the next game was one, and in the second half, Chelsea began to make frequent changes to the main players, and finally narrowly beat Leicester City 4-3 at home, so as to advance to the fifth round of the League Cup, that is, the quarter-finals.

Despite the final win at home, this Chelsea side have been bombarded by the outside world, who believe that Chelsea have not lost this season, so they will be negligent to Leicester City from the English second division, and if it were not for the introduction of the likes of Iello in the second half, Chelsea would likely lose hope of progressing to the last eight of the League Cup at home.

And some media also said that Chelsea's scoring ability is gradually drifting towards Iello is inappropriate, because as a new giant, relying too much on a player's scoring ability is a very dangerous signal, as long as the opponent will stare Iello to death, then Chelsea will not be able to score, just like the first round of the Champions League group stage, Rosenborg is a good completion of the task assigned by the manager, the perfect freeze of Aillo.

Interestingly, Jose Mourinho said before he left for Manchester: "We spent a lot of money to buy Ai from Valencia because we liked his scoring ability! As for relying too much on one player, it's not a bad sign, I advise you to go back and look at Valencia's results! They relied on their scoring ability to secure Spain's first-ever treble!! ”

Mourinho's words swallowed directly and the skeptical media had nothing to say.

Although the media said that Chelsea's attack was too dependent on Iroh, in fact, another meaning was to express that Iroh's style of play was too unique.

Of course, this is just a few media out of context, and looking back, although Iello has scored a lot of goals this season, he has also been a lot in assists.

In this case, Chelsea embarked on an away trip......
