In addition to improving his long-range shooting ability in the system during the two international breaks, Iello spent the two international breaks practicing boring fitness training with fitness coach Rui Faria at the Cobham training base.

In the second international break, England had a problem in the final round of Euro 2008 qualifying.

A draw will make it out!

As a result, they lost 3-2 to Croatia at the new Wembley Stadium.

The whole of Europe was amazed!

There was also an uproar in England, where the Premier League is one of the best leagues in Europe at the moment, and the league is the best in the world, and the income of each team surprised all teams except Barcelona and Real Madrid.

The strength of the England national team is not the top in Europe, but it can be regarded as a first-class team in Europe!

And... It's still a home game, but it's against this backdrop that they lost 3-2 at home to Croatia, how can the English media be disappointed?

You must know that Croatia's league can only be ranked 24th in Europe, which belongs to the bottom of the deposit!

The search for a scapegoat began.

Of course, the biggest scapegoat is, of course, head coach McLaren.

But these things have little to do with Iroh.

The morning after England's home defeat, the FA announced the sacking of manager McClaren, and then England internationals Terry, Frank Lampard, Wright Phillips and Ashley Cole returned to the squad to report.

It was clear that the England international in the Chelsea squad was not very interested, and after returning to the team for training, he was immersed in training and had no intention of communicating with the rest of the team.

Iello can also see the mood of teammates Frank Lampard, John Terry and others, but he knows that as professional players, they will definitely have a period of emotional fluctuations, as long as this period of fluctuations has passed, they will naturally adjust back, after all, it has become a fact that they will not be able to participate in the finals of next year's European Championship, and no matter how sad and sad they are, they can't change anything.

※※※

After a year-long period of qualifying for the European Championship, in addition to the two host teams of Switzerland and Austria, the other 14 national teams participating in the final stage have also been decided.

Chelsea continue to start the league on the third day of their home defeat in England, this time against promoted Derby County.

Interestingly, Derby County fans booed the England internationals who picked up the ball at the Chelsea squad after England missed out on qualifying for the Euro 2008 finals at the new Wembley Stadium.

How many psychologically poor can you become an England international?

Instead, it sparked the morale of several England internationals who took to the pitch, with Frank Lampard and Wright Phillips being the main contributors to Chelsea's away win.

"Ai's running distance in this race is obviously better than in the previous races!" After the match, Faria walked up to Mourinho, where he recorded the distance Aiello had traveled and then told Mourinho the truth after the match.

"How many meters do you run?"

"9286 meters ......"

"It's not enough!"

Faria heard Mourinho's answer, and subconsciously shook his head, a player has risen from an average running distance of about 8,000 meters to more than 9,000 meters, which is a lot of improvement, but Mourinho is still dissatisfied with this obvious improvement of Aillo, which can be seen from Mourinho's favorability of Aillo.

It was not long before Faria was relieved that with the arrival of December, Chelsea games would gradually increase, and Iroh's ability to decide the game would be infinitely magnified, otherwise the team would be in trouble without a battering ram to destroy the city......

Therefore, it is necessary to speed up the adjustment of Iroh's competitive state!

Chelsea's next opponent is at home to PSV PSV Eindhoven, with Jose Mourinho not sitting on the bench as a rotation player in order to speed up the adjustment of Elo's ability to continue playing in cold weather, but with him in charge of Chelsea.

In the end, the game helped Chelsea win 1-0 at home to PSV Eindhoven thanks to an assist from Iroh in the 65th minute, and Sun Xiang, who was expected by Chinese fans, did not appear at Stamford Bridge and did not even make the 18-man squad.

However, what makes Chinese fans feel happy is that Hao Junmin, who played for Schalke 04, helped the team get a valuable three points in cold Norway, coupled with PSV Eindhoven's loss at Stamford Bridge, their points reached 7 points, 4 points ahead of third-place PSV Eindhoven, which means that they have qualified from the group ahead of schedule, and the final round of Group B can only see which team finishes third in the group to participate in the League Cup.

The most attractive fifth round of the Champions League group stage is Liverpool's away challenge to Porto, Liverpool only got four points in four rounds, which means that this game only has to win to hope to advance to the round of 16, and Liverpool withstood the pressure to beat Porto 4:1 away!

They only need to win at home to Turkish Super League side Besiktas in the final round to advance!

As time went on, the media in England shifted from looking for scapegoats for England's elimination of the Euro 2008 finals to a renewed focus on England's side in the Champions League.

Chelsea has already locked the first place in the group in the fourth round, and Manchester United has also locked the first place in the group in advance after this round of victory, and the same is true for Arsenal, drawing at home to Valencia to lock the first place in the group, leaving only Liverpool a little dangerous, but a little good thing is that they are playing at home in the final round, I believe that with England's home draw to qualify, they will not be stupid to repeat this situation.

The final round of the Champions League group stage is still half a month away, and the media in England have temporarily returned to the domestic league from the Champions League.

Iroh, who had been excavated and was unable to adapt to the British weather, once again became the focus of major media discussions.

"Since the fourth round of the Champions League group stage away to Schalke 04, Ai has not scored in three consecutive games, including two excellent chances to score in a row in the 13th round of the league at home to Everton! As the weather in England gradually gets colder, Ai's threat has also begun to plummet, and at the end of the fifth round of the Champions League group stage that has just ended, he has not been able to score in three consecutive games, which is undoubtedly a downhill ...... for a player who can score 40+ and 20+ in the league and the Champions League.

The Manchester Evening News even came to list a number of Jù from the same period as Eyro.

In the 2005-2006 season, 22 goals were scored in 14 rounds of La Liga, and 20 goals were scored in 14 rounds in the 2006-2007 season, and in the five group stages of the Champions League in the same period, they scored nine goals in five games.

However, in the 2007-2008 Champions League group stage, a measly five goals were scored after five rounds, of which no goals were scored in the first and fifth rounds.

“…… According to the number jù given above, then the next question comes, this year's Ai is only 21 years old, which should be in an upward stage for a young player! So there is only one other possibility, he is proud of himself, thinking that at the age of 21 he has won the honor that all professional players dream of and lost himself! ”

"442" also reported in a similar way: "Whether it is not being able to adapt to the British weather or losing himself because he has won too many honors, it is not an excuse for him to move forward, because he is the world's most valuable and has the most expensive salary in the world, and he should prove himself in this situation, otherwise he does not deserve this value and salary!" ”

The home game against West Ham United at the start of December was supposed to be the most ordinary league game, but it caught the eye of the whole of England, which had reached its coldest time of the year.

Previous reports have centred on Elo's inability to adapt to the bad weather in England and have been unable to score in three consecutive games, so this league game has become a confirmation of whether his form has slipped due to the weather.

Stamford Bridge was packed, and many fans in the stands were beginning to doubt Elo's current form, as the last time he saw a goal was in the 12th round of the league away at Wigan Athletic, when the weather was warmer, at least not chilly during the day.

"Rui, do you think Ai will score in this game?"

Twenty minutes into the game, Iroh was very active in the opening period and had a lot of running, according to the number of games, he had already run almost three thousand meters in twenty minutes, far more than he had run at the same time in the previous races, Mourinho turned to Falla and asked.

But during this time, Parker was too restrictive to Iro, basically not giving him too much free time, which means that Iroh took the ball when someone was watching him, which made him very hard.

Because he had to adapt to the cold weather while maintaining his condition, his body did not keep up with the changes in the weather.

'It's good, it's inevitable to score!'

"Really?" Mourinho asked rhetorically with a rare smile.

"Of course!"

Faria is the most aware of Iroh's recent efforts, so he has the most confidence in Iroh!

But then again, having a lot of confidence doesn't mean that Iroh will score, so Faria doesn't have a bottom in his heart.

……

At the end of the first half, the score was still 0:0

As a result, many commentators in the intermission blamed the home side for Chelsea's failure to break the deadlock, as he was able to hold a starting spot despite a dip in form, which was only detrimental to Chelsea.

In the second half, Ailo consciously increased his running range and gradually increased the number of times he took the initiative to ask for the ball, but the effect was not good.

However, in the 75th minute of the game, Ailo found an opportunity, and he used his own free kick opportunity to rewrite the score to 1:0

And the score at the end of this game is also this scoreline.

Mourinho was very satisfied with Elo's ability to use his individual ability to put the ball into the back of the net, and his form in this game has obviously improved, and he firmly believes that as he adapts to Cheng Dù, he will definitely overcome the cold in the cold weather in the future and become the all-powerful Elo!

ps: Three watches later, ask for all kinds of tickets!
