Chapter 868 - Super High Specification Treatment
In fact, Scolari's idea is naïve, even if you take 10,000 steps back, Chelsea players are familiar with Eilo, so from another point of view, isn't Elo also familiar with Chelsea players?
Therefore, there is no absolute advantage between each other, and the players in the Chelsea team are quite afraid of Elo's personal ability, and if they want to limit Ailo as much as possible in the game, they can only do so from the premise of sacrificing attack, but how can Chelsea, who are sitting at home, easily give up attacking and choose to defend?
At the regular press conference the day before the game, Ancelotti brought not captain Albelda, but team vice-president Elo.
Carlo Ancelotti's decision was also very satisfying to the reporters on the spot, who would rather see Elloh, once revered by Chelsea fans as a 'legend of the Blues', than to face Albelda's modest questions and answers, because players often have endless stories to tell when facing their old clubs, and the same is true of the story of Ello and Chelsea......
When Roman Abramovich brought in Iello for a record £60 million in the summer of 2007, many Blues fans were skeptical, believing that La Liga was not as competitive as the Premier League, and that La Liga had less fixtures than the Premier League, so it was not unusual to win the treble of the league, Copa del Rey and Champions League.
However, he did not expect to conquer those discerning Blues fans in just a few months, and the following full season was out of control, winning the first seven-time championship in history......
The honours of 2007/2008 were repeated in 2008/2009, making Blues fans feel like the happiest fans in the world, and during that time Iello set numerous impressive records for Chelsea, including league points, league goalscorer charts and a 63-game unbeaten streak in league games......
There are so many memories that hardcore Blues fans are reluctant to take a break from these dreamlike scenes, but many things are destined to backfire.
The face of Iello is both familiar and unfamiliar, and many Blues fans don't even know whether to applaud or boo once the game starts.
Recognised as the greatest player in Chelsea history, he deserves applause, but ...... Now, Iroh stepped into their hallowed Stamford Bridge as an enemy.
It's a very tangled choice......
In the regular press conference before the game, the media had only one target: Iro, who had led Chelsea to League Cup, League Title, FA Cup and Champions League for the past two consecutive seasons, and everyone in the room wanted to know what kind of attitude he would have towards this game.
Iello only responded to the media lightly: "I have a deep affection for Chelsea, I have a lot of good friends here, the fans are very cute, but this is competitive football, and now I am a hostile force with Chelsea, because love ...... I'm going to prove it to the Blues fans in the stands at Stamford Bridge that I came in so well and left so good.......'
Obviously, Iroh wanted to avoid this sensitive topic, but how could the reporter easily follow his wishes?
But...... Iroh also has his own way, that is, to pretend to be crazy and stupid, and he doesn't know anything.
In this case, the reporter had to choose to abandon the continued questioning of Iello and return his attention to coach Carlo Ancelotti.

Chelsea and Valencia in the second round of the 2010-2011 Champions League Group F group stage were very friendly and respectful of each other because of Elo's relationship, and there was no hint of gunpowder.
As Chelsea's results in the nineties have become more consistent, Stamford Bridge has always been packed with passionate Blues fans every Chelsea matchday, and this week was no different, but this was a little different against the team's leading striker who was the undisputed greatest star in Chelsea history.
The Champions League group stage at Stamford Bridge gave people a bit of a weird feeling, with the Champions League logo plastered between the stands on each floor, as well as huge posters of Iello held up by Blues fans, both large and small, and many banners and ......slogans mentioning Iello
The gist of it can be summed up as follows: no matter where you are, Stamford Bridge will always be your home......
As Iroh showed up on the pitch to warm up, a loud and unified chant erupted over Stamford Bridge: "-Ai!! ”
Touching is a momentary thing, but there are some things that are worth staying in your heart for a lifetime......
At this time, on the second floor of the north stand of the stadium, there was an ordinary Chelsea fan named Tony Balke, whose family had been a die-hard Chelsea fan since his grandfather's father's generation, and now he had made up his mind to write a biographical novel about Eyro's contribution to Chelsea, called "The Legend of the Blues"!
His dream was to become a top writer like J.K. Rowling, but the reality was always far from his ideals, and some experiences made him even give up on this great dream, but now he has a new motivation......
※※※
The 40-minute warm-up time passed quickly, and the starting eleven submitted by both sides entered their dressing rooms to make final preparations.
For example, wipe off the sweat on your body and put on a new jersey that is clean and comfortable......
Another example is that a top star of Iro's level has to pay special attention to his personal image before playing, and he will be meticulous in his hairstyle before turning to face the manager.
Of course, Iroh is not the only one who has a haircut, and as modern football promotes players, players also know how to maintain their personal image, especially in this kind of top-level Champions League game, it is necessary to impress the fans, as Ielloh's team-mate Mikel at Chelsea said: "It may not be your problem to play well, but it is your problem to not play well before the game......
Ten minutes before the official start of the game, players from both sides walked out of the locker room one after another.
As Stamford Bridge is not a large stadium, it is not a few dozen metres from the dressing room to the players' tunnel.
Rather than looking straight ahead after a line of players, the Chelsea players half-turned and looked diagonally across the corner between the visitors' dressing room and the tunnel of the players.
About half a minute later, Iro, who was looking down to discuss the attacking movement with Cesar Azpilicueta, appeared in front of everyone.
The on-site director reacted very quickly, and immediately switched the camera of the players' tunnel to another shot facing Elo, who, as a professional, knew that Ailo would be the focus of the game.
The camera was locked directly on Iroh, and the fans watching the live TV watched him hug and pat on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement as he hugged his teammates from last season.
Chelsea TV commentator Clive Walker looked at the scene on camera and said with emotion: "Maybe we had fantasized about this scene in our minds when Ai left, but we didn't expect to meet again in just a month and a half, and it's the new season of the Champions League, I really hope Ai has a sluggish performance in this game, otherwise it ......."
Many Chelsea fans in the car subconsciously pursed their lips when they heard the slight 'squeak' sound on the radio, even though they didn't want to admit it, but in fact, as long as Iroh was in good form, then the game was not solved......

When the players from both sides followed the referee out of the players' tunnel in two columns, the Champions League theme song "Champions Europe" sounded on the live broadcast.
At the same time, the Blues fans in the stands erupted in loud cheers.
Among them, the loudest is chanting Ailuo's surname 'Ai'......
Facing the main stands, Iroh instinctively raised his head and looked around, and what was imprinted in his eyes was the crazy crowd, and the huge poster seemed to come alive under the shaking of the fans.
He Wei, who was sitting in the on-site commentary seat and making on-site commentary, was stunned, and then said: "The stands on all sides of Stamford Bridge are very loud, and almost all the fans on the scene are shouting Elo's name, unified and imposing, I believe that Iello is very moved at this time......
Indeed, Iroh was very moved, but he had already decided in his heart that in order to repay the fans who were there, he must show his best side!
Next, the two sides stood on one side to take a group photo, and the captains of the two sides exchanged team flags and picked sides......
……
Beep~~
With the whistle from Italian referee Rocchi, Iello kicked the ball to David Villa next to him.
'CCTV, now we are broadcasting to you a highlight of the 2010-2011 UEFA Champions League Group F second round group stage match, Chelsea host Valencia, the two Champions League winners in the 2006-2007 season and the 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 seasons respectively, and now the ball is in possession of the visiting team Valencia, who are wearing the traditional away orange kit and attacking from the right side of the camera. The home team, Chelsea, wearing blue jerseys and blue shorts, attacked from the left side of the camera to the right side......"
The on-site commentator He Wei began to unfold CCTV's unified opening remarks.
"I'm sure there are still a lot of fans waiting in front of the TV at this time, right? The starting line-up for this game was not much different from what was reported before the game, with Zhang Linpeng, who was a sensation at the World Cup this summer, appearing at Chelsea's starting right-back and will be tested by captain Iello for the next 90 minutes... Now, I'll repeat the starting line-ups of both sides......"
After a dozen passes from the midfielder, the football passed to the feet of Iroh.
The scene then erupted into a tsunami-like cheers, so that Ailuo, who took the ball, did not control the football under his feet, Zhang Linpeng, who was ready to fight and retreat, saw that the football was a little far away from Ailuo, and decisively fell to the ground and poked the ball forward, Ailo reflexively stretched his right leg, and the football knocked on the face bone of his right foot, popping up the left sideline.
Listening to the cheers from the stands, Iroh really didn't expect his salary at Stamford Bridge to be so high......
