Chapter 216: The Most Outstanding Striker

The draw for the UEFA Champions League group has come to an end, with Chelsea joining the three other teams in Group H: defending champions Porto, Paris Saint-Saint-Germain and CSKA Moscow.

For Chelsea, the group couldn't have been better.

Perhaps, Porto had a perfect record under the leadership of manager Jose Mourinho last season, and the level of the team was very high, but in one summer, the Porto team has been carved up by the major European giants, and it can be seen how much strength is left.

Whatever the outcome, the group draw is finally over, and the ceremony may have another meaning for the Premier League's top teams – another season of intense fixtures!!

At the beginning of September, there were no matches for 10 days at the clubs due to the national team match, but in the 15 days from 11 September to 25 September, Chelsea had five games to play, an average of one game every three days!

So, let's take a look at Chelsea's upcoming fixtures:

On September 11, in the fifth round of the English Premier League, Chelsea hosted Tottenham Hotspur.

On September 15th, the first game of the group stage of the UEFA Champions League, Chelsea will fly to romantic Paris to take on Paris Saint-Germain away.

On September 19, in the 6th round of the English Premier League, Chelsea challenged Middlesbrough away.

On 23 September, the League Cup round of 32 knockout rounds kicked off, with Chelsea hosting Newcastle United.

On September 25, in the 7th round of the English Premier League, Chelsea hosted the giant Liverpool.

……… After participating in the group draw, Mourinho did not stay in Switzerland, but flew back to London that evening.

With the next 15 days coming for Chelsea to face the challenge of a dense schedule for the first time, Mr Mourinho will have to be well prepared and it would be irrational to reuse one squad in a schedule of three days on average.

For a normal footballer, the interval between two games is best more than a week, so through a small amount of regular training and rest in the club during this period, the loss of physical energy in a game can be completely compensated.

If this time is shortened, or even if you play consecutive games with short intervals, it will make the players feel tired and then have physical problems, and playing in this situation will not only affect the performance of the game, but also easily cause injuries, which is not what anyone wants to see.

So, in these five games, manager Jose Mourinho has to make some trade-offs.

……………… Tottenham Hotspur is also known as the "White Lily" by Tottenham fans because of the white color of the traditional home jersey.

Tottenham's most recent honour in recent years also dates back to the 1999 Carabao Cup, when Tottenham beat Leicester 1-0 in the final to win the Carabao Cup.

Although Tottenham's achievements in recent years are not comparable with giants such as Manchester United and Arsenal, in the new season, Tottenham welcomed Frenchman Santini and invested nearly 20 million euros in the transfer market. Davis and many other young players, the strength of the team has increased.

Because Tottenham Hotspur itself has a terrible forward line and attacking power, once Santini can adjust the team's defense, it is not out of reach for the old powerhouse Tottenham to regain the strength of the Gascoigne and Lineker eras.

However, for Tottenham, a win over the stellar Chelsea at Stamford Bridge could be the start of a revival.

So, Tottenham were in good spirits and they came to Stamford Bridge in good spirits.

……… September 9, Stamford Bridge, London, England.

The sky was drizzling, and the occasional raindrop fell on the crowded fan stands, but it could not make these passionate fans flinch even a little, and at this time, the entire stadium was covered in blue, and tens of thousands of Chelsea fans, with their bodies forming a sea of blue, seemed to interpret the meaning of the 'Blues'.

A handful of Tottenham fans wearing white jerseys were stationed in a corner of the southeast stand of the stadium, but correspondingly, the Tottenham players wore a gray away jersey today, if it weren't for the same badge on the chest of both uniforms, maybe it would make people feel like Tottenham Hotspur didn't have any supporters today...... Of course, as a veteran Tottenham fan, it is obvious that he will not be aware of this, but the small wave of Chinese students between Tottenham fans and Chelsea fans has also embarrassed these Tottenham fans.

'Liu Jun, why does Chelsea's opponent today seem to have no fan support?' A clear female voice, standing out in the crowd, was very nice, but the content of the words made the Tottenham fans next to them angry, as if they were all ignored by this woman.

"Fainted, aren't there a lot of them next to you?" The man named Liu Jun replied.

"Really?" At this time, the girl noticed that many of the 'uncles' on the left wearing white jerseys were looking at her, which made her face flush all of a sudden, but she wondered: "Why are they all wearing white jerseys, while the players on the field are wearing gray jerseys......"

“…… Flutter! A boy next to him laughed directly, then reached out to cover the girl's mouth, and whispered in her ear: "Xuanxuan, you better watch the game honestly, these British fans are not very good-tempered, didn't they say today that they would come to cheer for Wang Lilai?" ”

The girl turned her head to look at the white-clothed fan who was staring at her with wide eyes on the left, lowered her head a little timidly, and muttered in a low voice: "What's the big deal, or Allen is more handsome." "Instead, look at the pitch.

………“…… The weather wasn't very good today, but this light rain may be refreshing, but I don't know if our Chelsea players will be able to adapt to the weather. The rain must have made the turf a little slippery, and maybe that's bad news for Allen, and I wonder if we'll ever see his magnificent dance moves today. ”

'Both players are already on the pitch, let's take a look at Tottenham's starting line-up, goalkeeper Paul. Robinson, defenders Eiffel, Naibet, Ledley. King and Erdman, midfielders Mendes, Sean Davies, Redknapp and Czechsen, and Kanoute and Defoe up front. ”

'Look at our Chelsea team, goalkeeper is teenager Thomas. Clark, guard Paul. Ferreira, Robert. Hutter, Wayne. Bridget and Ricardo. Carvalho, midfielder Claude. Makelele, Geremi, Thiago. Mendes, forward line Adrian. Mutu, Alkin. Robben and our 'Master of Dance' Allen. King. ”

“…… Obviously, in this game, Mr. Mourinho sent most of the substitutes on the pitch in order to give the stars who had just finished the national team a break, but even this set of substitutes is very luxurious, and I hope these players on the field can take advantage of this opportunity to perform......"

While the game had not yet started, Stamford Bridge commentator Creed. Peswak hurriedly introduced the playing lists of the two teams, but the appearance list of the Chelsea team still made Chelsea fans a little uneasy. Frank Lampard, the back of the field is also without captain John. Terry, it's bound to make the team's defensive ability drop a lot.

Luckily, there is still Alan in the front. Wang held on so they didn't have to worry about going goalless in this game - in the hearts of Chelsea fans, Wang Li has undoubtedly become synonymous with scoring!!

Despite the news that Wang Li and Eriksen did not agree and left the team without saying a word, these Chelsea fans still supported him. Kulentalik's article also convinced most people why strikers with such high scoring efficiency always sit on the bench!?

This is clearly unreasonable!!

So, at least all Chelsea fans are staunch supporters of Willy, and they also think that this 'do-it-all' brunette kid on the pitch will definitely bring Chelsea goals at Stamford Bridge.

……… The game was about to start, and Wang Li, who was standing on the pitch at this time, looked at the Tottenham Hotspur lineup opposite with his eyes, but recalled in his heart what the manager said to him in the dressing room - "...... Tottenham Hotspur are a tough game to be reckoned with this year, and the defensive ability of Chelsea's squad is hard to keep from conceding, so it's best to play a quick attack in the opening stages of the game to take the lead, so that the rest of the game will be much better. ”

“…… Now, Frank and John Terry are not playing, although you have only just joined Chelsea, but among the players who started the game, in the attacking line, you are undoubtedly the most vocal, so in the team's attack, you have to communicate and cooperate with your team-mates more, which is also a kind of exercise for you......"

For Chelsea, for manager Jose Mourinho, this league is not too important, Chelsea now have 12 minutes, with an absolute advantage in the top of the league, even if they lose the game, it is only three points, Chelsea team still loses.

In order to cope with the upcoming Champions League game, Chelsea will have to send most of the substitutes to play this game.

But even though Tottenham Hotspur have always been an attacking side and now at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea can't afford to lose even if they lose!

Therefore, in Mourinho's mind, the key to winning or losing this game is the offense, and the key to the team's offense is, of course, the center of gravity of the team's offense and Wang Li, who has a high goal efficiency.

The expectations of all the fans, the absolute trust of the head coach, and the support of his teammates on the field have made Wang Li have no reason to fail, and on the other hand, in the face of the media and fans who accuse him of being 'arrogant', he also needs to prove with his own performance - I, Allen. Wang, the best striker in England!!
