Chapter 557: True China Derby (Three Changes)
There were two upsets in the other fifteen matches in the second round of the Champions League group stage, with Liverpool losing 1-0 at home to Marseille and AC Milan losing 2-1 away to home Celtic.
However, Valencia, who had Ello's eye on him, won the game as they beat Steaua Bucharest 3-0 away to secure their first Champions League win of the new season thanks to three goals from David Villa and David Silva and Juan Mata from Real Madrid's B team.
Although Valencia beat Steaua Bucharest 3-0 away, they were criticised by the Spanish media, who felt that the team had a big problem with the departure of star Ailo and the core of the midfield, Ballack, and the attack was not as fluid as last season, and the attacking leaning was even lower by two notches.
Not surprisingly, Ielloh, who scored a hat-trick in the second round of the Champions League group stage, naturally became the subject of mainstream media coverage in Europe.
The Times used 'The Return of the Striker' as the headline of the day: "After being held to a 1-1 draw by Norwegian team Rosenborg at home, Ai, who came as the team's heavy investment, was naturally questioned by everyone, but he scored a hat-trick in the second round of the Champions League group stage away from home, helping the team beat the home team PSV PSV Eindhoven 4-0, and also proved that he is still the super killer who makes any opponent feel terrified!" ”
“…… To quote PSV Eindhoven manager Koeman: 'Some players don't have to defend at all, because you don't have to defend!' It's like Ai in this game, he is such a player...... 'It can be seen that Ai has become so strong that the head coach of the home team has the idea of giving up the game, so it can only be said that the first round of the Champions League group stage is just a coincidence......
The Dutch "Telegraph" also said: "We should not be worried about PSV Eindhoven suffering a 4-0 bloodbath at home, because our opponents are not teams on Earth at all, they have the strongest attacker on the planet, no matter how they defend, he will find a fatal hole, and then give a fatal blow, if it were not for the luck of the home team, this game would not be 4:0, but 5:0, 6:0......"
Although there was no imagined Chinese 'Champions League derby' at the Philips Stadium, domestic fans were not discouraged by this, because they had already guessed this possibility, and with PSV Eindhoven's left-back Salcido healthy and showing no signs of declining form, the possibility of Sun Xiang playing was almost zero.
But I am looking forward to the next Champions League! Because Iroh and Hao Junmin are the absolute main force of Chelsea and Schalke 04, there will be back-to-back Chinese "Champions League derby" in the third and fourth rounds of the Champions League group stage!
"Football News" said: "The much-anticipated Chinese 'Champions League derby' did not appear in the imagination, Ai Lu played 90 minutes in the Philips Stadium, while Sun Xiang sat on the bench for a full 90 minutes, but we don't have to worry, because the upcoming Champions League group stage third and fourth rounds of the back-to-back group stage are about to begin, and then we can watch the real Champions League 'Chinese Derby' without any sense of disobedience!" Is Chelsea led by Iroh stronger, or is there an upset in Schalke 04 under Hao Junmin? Let's look forward to the next Champions League group stage......"

When Chelsea returned to the Cobham training base, Jose Mourinho gave his squad a rare day off.
This came as a surprise to many players, but no one was stupid enough not to accept a rare day off, after all, these two weeks were two consecutive weekly games, which caused a lot of physical and psychological pressure on the players, especially during the period of the home draw with Rosenborg and the away draw with Manchester United.
Although Iello has been in London for almost two months, he doesn't know much about the city, so he was taken on the day off by England internationals Ashley Cole and John Terry, two native Londoners.
For men, there is only one place to play, which is nightclubs.
As an international metropolis and one of the world's three major fashion centers, London is indispensable for beautiful women, so for London men, it is also essential to hunt for beauty in nightclubs, because it is one of the gathering places for beautiful women.
As long as you can make a beautiful woman tempted, you can take her away no matter what means you use.
As a man with a girlfriend, Iroh originally wanted to refuse the call of Ashley Cole and Terry, two major demons.
But thinking of the fact that they haven't seen each other for two months recently because of their respective careers, ...... The whole person has a feeling of suffocation, so ......
So the next day, something happened to Iro.
It wasn't a winning bid or anything else, but he appeared on the front page of The Sun the next day, with Iroh and Ashley, Cole and Terry each hugging a good-looking and hot girl.
"After Chelsea's first Champions League victory, manager Jose Mourinho gave the team a surprising day off, and last night, Ashley Cole, John Terry and Ai showed up at a fancy London nightclub from eight o'clock and did not leave until eleven o'clock, during which time a customer with a look like Ai entered the bathroom with a fresh-looking and hot girl......

When Iroh finished reading Barak's contribution to The Sun, he glanced at each other with Ashley Cole and Terry, and from each other's eyes, he could easily see three words: Dead!
Sure enough, before the start of training in the morning, Mourinho announced that the three players photographed by The Sun's paparazzi, Ashley Cole and John Terry, would not be in the league game away to Bolton Wanderers at the weekend.
"What a decay!" After the training, the three walked together, and Ashley Cole said helplessly.
"yes, this paparazzi is really everywhere!" Terry shrugged, only admitting that he was unlucky.
"I'll go, you two guys won't know if you've been in London for so long?" Iroh glanced at the two of them.
"Uh...... The problem is that we haven't been photographed after so many times we've been playing together......" Speaking of which, Ashley Cole seems to have discovered a new world, and Terry looks at Iroh with bad intentions.
Then the two of them said in unison: "You decrepit god!" ”
……
Ahead of the league game against Bolton, Chelsea's official response was that Elo, Ashley Cole and John Terry were too tired to play in the second group stage of the Champions League and did not meet the minimum requirements to play.
But is the media so easy to fool? So it was soon discovered that the three people who left the country in the "Sun" newspaper......
It didn't take long for Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney to send a text message, mostly a joke.
But Iroh is not the object of 'slaughter', and immediately took out the incident of Cristiano Ronaldo and Rooney's female vote, and the result was ...... The three reached an agreement not to mention the matter.
But then something happened that left Iroh speechless.
As a high-speed spread of information in the 21st century, the incident of Iello's nightclub girl carnival also spread from the British mainland to the United States, and Taylor Swift, who was planning his second album, made a phone call to Iroh.
It's not that Xingshi asks about the guilt, but that he has been too busy recently and has no way to 'accompany' Iro, and also hints that if Iroh can't hold back, he can find another woman, but he must take protective measures and ...... Iroh thinks that China is a good girlfriend, no! Good girlfriend in the United States!

Despite the absence of Elloh, Ashley Cole and John Terry in the ninth round of the league at Reebok Stadium at the weekend, home side Bolton did not cause too much trouble for visiting Chelsea, and after 90 minutes of fierce action, Frank Lampard gave the team a league win thanks to a foul by Dutch winger Arjen Robben who replaced Iello in the box for a first-half break.
As time passed, the time spent by Iello, Ashley Cole and Terry in the nightclub gradually disappeared from the eyes of the public, after all, professional players are energetic guys, and it is normal for bubble girls to sleep once in a while.
A week later, Chelsea continued their away trip, this time at the Riverside Stadium against Middlesbrough, where Mourinho reverted the trio to the squad thanks to the likes of Arlo and others, and eventually relied on two goals from Arlo and Didier Drogba to beat Middlesbrough 2-0.
It is worth mentioning that in the other game at the same time, Manchester United beat Aston Villa 4-1 away, and Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat-trick to increase his own single-season goal tally to eight, just three goals behind Iello in the scorers' charts.
It also helped United move up from fifth to third in the table, with 21 points, behind Chelsea on 28 points and Liverpool on 25.
Cristiano Ronaldo has thrilled Manchester United fans with an astonishing display of form ahead of the upcoming Champions League group stage third round.
This has led the media and fans who support Manchester United to once again compare Cristiano Ronaldo to Elo.
After this round of league games, the Premier League top four will also focus on the upcoming Champions League fixtures, with Chelsea's opponents being Schalke 04.
For Chelsea fans, this opponent may not be a problem, just an ordinary Champions League group stage opponent, but Chinese fans do not think so, because Schalke 04 manager Mirko Slomka has already indicated in an interview with Chinese reporters that Hao Junmin will start.
In other words, Chinese fans have been waiting for a long time, and the most important Champions League 'Chinese Derby' will kick off!
This game is not simply about having two Chinese players, as both Ayroh and Hao Junmin play very important roles in their respective teams.
Iello is Chelsea's main left winger and top scorer, although Hao Junmin's position in the team is a left wing-back, but his activity area is very large, basically the entire frontcourt is his activity space, the current Schalke 04 can be ranked in the list, and his play is inseparable.
ps: The third watch sends a ticket for a ticket, and it is also recommended!
