After playing the fifth round of the league, the Champions League group stage was rekindled, Chelsea played away and went to Moscow, although the opponent was replaced by the weaker Spartak Moscow, but this away game is not easy to play, although it is not yet winter, don't worry about heavy snow, but from England to Russia, this is really a long journey.

In this game, Mourinho was still unable to command from the sidelines, and in the first half Chelsea played quite well, basically having an overwhelming advantage, but weak teams often choose to defend with all their strength, which is not technical, but very effective.

As a result, in the first half, Chelsea relied on a long-range shot by Lin Yu to break the deadlock and rewrite the score to 1:0, which is not a satisfactory score, because Chelsea is in an absolute advantage on the field, Chelsea, who is usually not good at ball control, has a possession rate of 70% today, but the high ball possession rate is not a big score, which cannot but be said to be a kind of helplessness.

Fortunately, there is Lin Yu, otherwise it is estimated that the first half will not be able to score at all.

Originally, at halftime, everyone vowed to think of more ways to solve the opponent in the second half and bloody the opponent, but the accident happened in the second half.

John Terry handballs in the box!

This in itself should have been an unintentional handball, when it was too late for Terry to stop, and the opponent obviously deliberately went to find Terry's arm, and it ended up being a hit.

The referee was really merciless, not only giving Spartak Moscow a penalty, but also sending Terry off with a red card.

The defender will be sent off if Mourinho is in charge from the sidelines. He will definitely be able to make timely adjustments to deal with it, but it's a pity that he hasn't regained his free body yet. He is also suspended.

As a direct result of the incident, Chelsea were awarded a penalty. Equaliser and then things took a turn for the worse.

There was a clear problem with the substitutions of the assistant coach, and in order to make up for the defence, he replaced Oscar with Cahill.

Of course, ordinary people look at this substitution, and there seems to be no problem, replacing the front court with a defender is just to strengthen the defense. You can't concede any more goals.

But this is just the idea of ordinary people, if it is Mourinho, he will never make such a substitution, at home, in the case of the team's score is equalized, Mourinho will only strengthen the attack, at this time I am afraid that no adjustments will be made at all, only to send an offensive signal to the team.

Gambling substitutions have always been Mourinho's forte. However, this assistant coach obviously didn't learn, this is a matter of human character, there is no way.

In the end, the score of this game was locked at 1:1. Although Lin Yu tried his best to break the deadlock, the problem was that without the support of midfielder Oscar, he was completely and completely killed. The midfielders and centre-backs almost all went to him, not the three. That's four people, if four people can't do it, then five people. Moscow Sparta finally trapped Lin Yu with the most primitive crowd tactics.

After the game, the media talked about the penalty and red card the most, obviously unintentional handball, that kind of penalty is too harsh, people say that UEFA's revenge has finally arrived, and this decision, even Mourinho is not easy to say, whether it is unintentional or intentional, handball is handball.

The current death group can be said to be the real death group.

Originally, many people thought that Chelsea would be able to qualify easily, even if UEFA was to blame, even if Mourinho was not on the sidelines, it would be no problem to win Spartak Moscow and Bayer Leverkusen, but the truth was greatly unexpected for them.

Now after two rounds of games, the first place is Leverkusen, Leverkusen won the first leg at home against Spartak Moscow, all three points, and the second game was a draw with AC Milan away, the two sides played 0:0, with 4 points;

In second place is Chelsea, with two draws, temporarily ranking in front of AC Milan by 2 points by virtue of the goal advantage, barely second;

The third is AC Milan, with the same two draws, but no goal has been scored, so now it is also 2 points, temporarily ranked third;

Spartak Moscow, which is ranked last, has one draw and one loss, accumulating one point, despite this, Spartak Moscow still has hope of qualifying, as long as the home team can play well, it will not lose hope in advance, that is to say, this group looks like every team has the hope of qualifying, and it has really become a group of death in the real sense.

Even the top-ranked Bayer Leverkusen dare not say that they are sure to advance, after all, they have only played two games, and with Mourinho about to lift the ban, Bayer Leverkusen may face an even more terrible Chelsea next, and it is also a complete Chelsea, and at that time, they may have to laugh if they can get a point.

Jose Mourinho's suspension has passed three games so far, with one game remaining, but this one is not a good game to play as they will go to San Siro and AC Milan for a do-or-die match.

Now that both teams are on two points, it is natural that in order to qualify, they will play more terrifyingly, and it is really worrying what Chelsea can play without Mourinho's sideline command.

If this game is drawn, or even lost, then it will really be difficult to deal with the rest of the game, and after a few games, Chelsea fans really want Mourinho to return to the pitch, and their hatred and resentment towards UEFA are getting stronger and stronger.

But it doesn't make sense to think about it now, UEFA can't afford to reduce Mourinho's sentence, so he has to accept the result of a four-game suspension, and there is no need to focus on that, but focus on the domestic league.

Chelsea with Jose Mourinho can be seen from the league in fact, in the sixth round against Stoke City, Lin Yu continued his terrifying form, helping the team to score a goal, and finally won 2-0 at home to Stoke City, which was another very easy game.

As it turned out, Chelsea didn't get any weaker. Lin Yu also did not have a trough, Chelsea's problems in the Champions League. Or because the manager can't command on the spot, plus UEFA is obstructing it.

On the one hand, it is a two-game winless run in the group stage. On the other hand, there are six league wins, which is a little too big a gap, and people can't believe it.

In addition to the league and the Carabao Cup, Chelsea were also invincible, beating their opponents again in the third round, and almost all of them were substitutes, including Samuel Eto'o, Fernando Torres, Willian, Juan Mata and many others. The only one who didn't rotate was probably Lin Yu.

It's just that in this League Cup game, Lin Yu made a cameo in the midfield position, played the winger position he originally dreamed of, and scored goals in the game.

The league and the Carabao Cup are so good, but the Champions League is worrying, which has led to a lot of expectations for Chelsea to set a record. Fans who have won two consecutive championships are a little disappointed.

In fact, now, Chelsea dares to argue with UEFA, which has made many fans applaud them, and they hope to support Chelsea to fight their way out of UEFA's encirclement.

Fans who hated Chelsea before. It seems that if Chelsea were eliminated in the group stage, it would be too boring, such a team. It's better to keep going, so you can see a lot of classic matchups.

Even Bayern Munich, who were beaten by Chelsea in the Champions League final last year. I don't want to see Chelsea eliminated because they still want revenge. Being defeated by Chelsea, they really feel uncomfortable, the key is that there are rumors outside that they can't beat Chelsea even with the help of UEFA, so how can the Bayern Munich players endure it?

Bayern Munich, who have won both games, are waiting for Chelsea, even if they can't meet in the knockout round, they will wait for Chelsea to reach the final together, their whole team, it can be said that they are full of confidence, after the last defeat, they not only did not fall because of this, but became stronger.

This may be the old saying that "the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds".

Once, Bayern sniped the mighty Cosmos team Barcelona, they became heroes at that time, and at the same time stood at the top of the era, and now, they are going to be heroes again, beating the unbeatable Chelsea.

It was in this atmosphere that Chelsea welcomed their seventh round of league fixtures, this time away to Crystal Palace.

Although the reputation is not very famous, but there are no weak teams in the Premier League, this has been confirmed, even if the Premier League is the last, there is a possibility of overturning the first place, and this possibility is not small, so Chelsea really had a little trouble in this game.

Of course, it's just a little bit of trouble.

Crystal Palace's striker in the first half just two minutes, relying on a super long-range shot that is simply against the sky to penetrate the goal guarded by Cech, I have to say, this goal can not be solved, no goalkeeper in the world can do anything, maybe this striker can only play such a beautiful goal in his life, this matter is just Chelsea to meet, not the Tao is an honor or unlucky.

However, the beautiful goals that others can only play once in a lifetime were ruthlessly suppressed by Lin Yu.

It has been said by the media before that other players may have one or two classic shots or passes in their lives, and if they are asked to do it again, they may not be able to do it, but Lin Yu is different, he regards these classics as his own norm.

Just one minute into the second half, Lin Yu gave back a goal from Crystal Palace, which was also a long-range shot, and it almost coincided with the position of the Crystal Palace striker, but this shot was more tricky and faster, which was simply a slap in the face.

After Lin Yu's goal, Chelsea completely found their rhythm of the goal, and finally Eden Hazard scored twice and Oscar scored a goal to make the score 4-1, and Chelsea won a hearty victory away at Crystal Palace.

This is the seventh round of the league and Chelsea remain top of the league with a winning record, while Lin Yu has scored nine goals, four more than second-placed Luis Suarez.

It's just that Arsenal seems to have played chicken blood this season, and so far, it is actually a complete winning record, only slightly less than Chelsea in terms of goals, looking at this, Arsenal is really going to be with Chelsea this season, but I don't know who of the two teams will be the first to usher in the first defeat of the season, or a draw.

If you analyze it carefully, Chelsea still seem to have a slight advantage, after all, Chelsea have beaten Liverpool on the road, and Arsenal has not encountered a real team so far, whether they can withstand the test, it will be necessary to continue to observe.

However, Chelsea fans and Chelsea players alike have no time to rejoice, as they travel to San Siro for a do-or-die clash with AC Milan after this league game, which will really determine the prospects of both teams in this group.

Before the game, many media analyzed this game, and they combined Chelsea's performance during this period of time to say that without Mourinho's on-the-spot command, Chelsea's strength is equivalent to half of the drop, and it is simply self-defeating to play with AC Milan in such a state.
