Eyro's brilliant free-kick in less than two minutes knocked on the door of the Reading team, which made Hunt and Koppelton, who had made bold statements before the game, feel embarrassed, but fortunately, the camera was not aimed at them at this time, otherwise it would have been one of the highlights after the game.

Of course, it was not only Hunt and manager Koper of the Reading team who felt shameless at this moment, but also the faces of the South Korean reporters in the press section of the Medjeski Stadium were also hot, as if they had been slapped in the face, and the pain was hot.

South Korean player Xue Qixuan, who was thought to be the main player before the game, only appeared in the 18-man squad, and did not start as expected, and the so-called 'East Asian derby' is even more impossible, plus they repeatedly vilified Ailo knocked on the door of Reading with a free kick opportunity in less than two minutes.

The aggressive South Korean media, which had expressed Xiàn before the game, completely closed their mouths at this moment.

The game restarted, and Reading were bent on taking advantage of the home advantage to quickly equalize the score, but how could Chelsea, who had been coached by Mourinho for three seasons, be a team of Reading's caliber who could knock on the back of the net lightly?

The answer, of course, is no.

As the game ticked, the eagerness of the Reading players was reflected in their actions.

I don't know if Mourinho's words at the regular press conference before the game played a useful role, the referee on duty Webber will give a warning as long as he sees the Reading player's action is slightly too big, and the action that threatens the safety of the player is all yellow card warning, so in less than 30 minutes, the Reading team has already had 3 yellow cards.

So that's what happened...... Reading players playing at home must be played at their home stadium.

And this change has also allowed the Chelsea players to find more space to attack.

Iello has proven himself to be Chelsea's most dangerous player in the past two competitive games, and this game was no exception, in the face of Iroh's speed and technique, two of the three yellow cards that Reading received in the first 30 minutes of the first half were used on him, so the Reading defenders were extra careful in the face of Iroh's ever-changing breakthrough skills.

But sometimes that's how it is, the more careful you are, the easier it is to make mistakes, and in the 36th minute, Iroh broke down the left and then suddenly passed an inverted triangle pass, and Frank Lampard, who is currently the best in the world, ran just right, and fired a ball into the far corner of the goal, which Hannemann couldn't reach.

The score on the big screen on the stadium instantly became 0:2, with the home team in front and the away team in the back.

If Chelsea can score twice in the first half, then Reading will have little chance of equalising in the second half.

Sure enough, Chelsea started the second half consciously shrinking their defence, not giving Reading too much space to attack, because there was still a fatal battle four days later.

For Chelsea's defense, the Reading team did not dare to invest too much troops, because Elo's super individual combat ability was what they feared, so no one scored in the second half, and finally Chelsea defeated Reading 2-0 at home.

It is worth mentioning that in another key battle at the same time, the defending champion Manchester United did not have a good way to score in the away face of Portsmouth, one of the favorites in relegation this season, and finally drew 1:1 with the home team, and the team's attacking core Cristiano Ronaldo was sent off by the referee before the end of the game because he couldn't control his feelings.

In other words, defending champions Manchester United, who have drawn two in a row, are already four points behind Chelsea, who have won two in a row.

However, Ferguson said in an interview with the media after the game: "The league is a long cycle and we shouldn't worry about not playing well in two or even three games at the beginning of the season because we are Manchester United! The players are still in the adjustment period and I believe that our form will get better and better as the league progresses...... We will tell everyone with the results that Manchester United are still the strongest contenders in the league! ”

With Arsenal and Liverpool, the other favourites winning in the first round, both facing the first leg of the third round of Champions League qualifying, the second round of the league has been postponed, meaning Chelsea are top of the table after two consecutive wins.

After the second round of the league, it was surprising that Sun Hai's Manchester City team ranked at the top of the list with two consecutive wins.

After Manchester City's Chinese international Sun Hai missed the first round of the league due to injury, he played the whole game against Derby County in the second round.

This, coupled with Charlton Athletic's Jung Zhi's outstanding performance in the Championship to help the team win the league, made the South Korean media once again collectively lose face.

Because Chelsea's Elo, Manchester City's Sun Hai and Championship's Charlton Athletic's Zheng Zhidu played well and helped the team win the league, while Manchester United's Park Ji-sung, Tottenham's Lee Young-pyo and Reading's Xue Qi-hyun were among Lee Young-pyo who got a steady chance to play, Park Ji-sung and Xue Qi-hyun did not have many opportunities to play in the first two rounds of the league.

Interestingly, a report in the Guardian the next day made the South Korean media laugh and cry: "According to the first two rounds of the league investigation, a very interesting situation was found, that is, the Premier League teams with Korean players did not have a win, while the teams with Chinese players all won the game!" It's a mystical thing, but sometimes we have to be together, like some coaches wear superstitiously......"

After the second round of the league was fully completed, the London media and the Liverpool media began to prepare for the next league game at the same time.

The Times has set a headline for the upcoming game that fits the competition specifications very well: 'Red and Blue Battles, Who Kills the Deer?' ’

That's right! In the third round of the 2007-2008 Premier League season, there is a league that the whole of Europe is watching - Chelsea vs Liverpool!

The two teams will face off in the first leg of the new season at Anfield.

Of course, the local media in Manchester are also starting to report on this moment, but their focus is not on the Chelsea vs Liverpool clash but on their own Manchester derby.

Compared to the Manchester derby, which is a huge disparity in strength, it is Liverpool's home game against Chelsea that attracts more attention from the public.

Liverpool is one of the most successful clubs in the world, with 18 English top flight titles, 7 FA Cups, 8 English League Cups, and in Europe, Liverpool is the most successful club in England, winning 5 European Champions Cups, 3 UEFA Cups, all of which are English records.

It is worth mentioning that except for the top flight and the English FA Cup, the others are the highest records in the English league, and they completely dominated the top flight of England from the 60s to the 80s of the last century, and it can be said that the glory of history is engraved on the red badge.

And Chelsea was only bought by Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich in 2003, and spent rubles everywhere to buy powerful players and stars, and smashed out two Premier League titles with gold dollars.

Therefore, Liverpool's local media look down on Chelsea, thinking that they are nouveau riche, full of copper smell, disgusting, and have no rich background at all.

The pro-Chelsea London media believes that Liverpool is not enterprising and completely derailed from the world, so it is the fundamental reason why Liverpool has not won the Premier League title since the establishment of the Premier League.

The media on both sides did not like each other, and the two teams naturally did not look down on each other.

As for the animosity between Liverpool and Chelsea, it began in the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League in 2004-2005, and the two teams were drawn together in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League in the 2005-2006 season for special reasons.

Of course, the biggest reason is that Benitez's Liverpool has the title of the king of the cup, and Jose Mourinho's Chelsea will basically be killed when they meet Liverpool in the cup, while the league can easily win the opponent.

Therefore, Mourinho is very unhappy with Benitez.

Naturally, the two looked down on each other at the same time.

Coupled with the fact that Valencia, where Arlo played for last season, beat Liverpool in the semi-finals and treated the plaque at the hallowed Anfield stadium with disrespect, it is only natural that Liverpool's local media will mix old and new hatreds......

"This weekend is the first big game since the start of the 2007-2008 Premier League season, yes! It was the Reds Liverpool who faced the Blues Chelsea at Anfield, and this contest was the absolute focus of this round! This season's Liverpool and Chelsea have strong reinforcements, among which Chelsea's recruitment is amazing, 60 million pounds to introduce last season's La Liga treble champion Valencia's star Ai, and Liverpool is not far behind, with 21.5 million pounds + Luis Garcia set a club record to buy Atletico Madrid captain Torres, and then more than 10 million pounds to bring in Dutch superstar Babel ......"

Originally, Iello wanted to train with the team slowly and then fully integrate into the team's tactical system, but I didn't expect to be pulled by the media, and Fernando Torres, who has a good record for Liverpool, also took the initiative to talk about Iello in an interview with reporters at the Melwood training base, which made him very speechless.

'Ai is a very good player and we have a good relationship, my team-mates talk about him a lot when we train with the national team, we played two and a half seasons in La Liga and we exchanged shirts... However, this game is played at our home stadium at Anfield and I am convinced that the victory will be ours Liverpool!! ”

Listening to the words of the 23-year-old Spanish international, the local media in Liverpool were very satisfied.

In their minds, Liverpool's players are the best.

At the same time, before the start of the game, you should also overwhelm the opponent in momentum.

It's just a nouveau riche, a piece of cake!

……

Iello is Chelsea's all-time champion, while Torres is Liverpool's all-time champion.

The Times, an influential English newspaper in Europe, titled the game "Red and Blue Battles, Who Kills the Deer", and focused on the two stars who transferred from La Liga to the Premier League, and set another headline for the game: "The battle of the kings"
