Chapter 299: West London Derby

After a home win over Everton on 6 November, Chelsea's next game is on 11 November when we face promoted Masis United at Stamford Bridge in the last 16 of the Carabao Cup.

One of the reasons why the club did not pay much attention to this game was that the strength of Western Union Ham could not cause Chelsea to be nervous at all, and more importantly, the League Cup was really a chicken rib, and the head coach Jose. Mr Mourinho intends to abandon the competition and focus on the league and Champions League.

Although there are not a few competitions in the League Cup, if you keep qualifying, your opponents will get stronger and stronger, and even meet giants such as Manchester United and Arsenal in the top four. Obviously, Manchester United's hope of winning the title this season is really slim, and Arsenal can only hope to surpass Chelsea in the league on Chelsea's mistakes, in this case, the League Cup, FA Cup may become their goal, if in this kind of competition for the Chelsea team, and the big team is definitely not worth the loss.

Although Western Union Ham is only a promoted team, the manager Mr. Mourinho still intends to use this game to train the newcomers.

On the second day of the match against Everton, Mourinho had already informed all players of the news, in which case Wang Li was likely to be on the bench or not included in the squad at all.

However, he did not have any thoughts about it, and was a little happy in his heart, because November 11 was the day when Angela returned to the United States.

These days, Angela's stay in London has entered the countdown, so Wang Li rushes home directly after training every day, and the two seize all the time to live a warm two-person world, which makes their relationship even more rapid, and even makes Angela feel very reluctant.

Although the two have not known each other for a long time, and their relationship is not too solid, but anyway, the two have lived together for a few months, and now, although Wang Li does not dare to say that he has fallen in love with this little princess, he can at least be sure that he has already liked her.

……… Wang Li ran home in sweat and opened the door.

Angela, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, turned her head and said, "I'm back." ”

"Well, you're stuck at home today?"

"No, I went for a walk around Victoria Park today." As she spoke, Angela stepped forward to take Wang Li's coat and continued: "Hurry up and take a shower, the smell of sweat all over your body!" ”

Wang Li smiled and said, "Are you having fun?" ”

"It's okay, I went to an Italian pizzeria next door at noon, and it was delicious."

"Where's that store?"

Angela hung her coat on the hanger, sat down on the sofa, stretched out her little hand, and said, "Next to Victoria Park, on Mare Street,...... Well, it's probably in the middle. ”

Wang Li also came over and sat next to her, stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around her, and said, "I'll try it when I have time." ”

"Hurry up and take a shower, it smells of sweat!" Angela pinched her little nose and sniffed on Wang Li's chest, hurriedly pushed him away and stood up, frowning lightly.

"Alright, alright, oh my God."

…… In the past, Wang Li didn't feel anything, but since he heard that she was going to return to the United States, Wang Li can feel a kind of warmth from the bits and pieces of this life - this may be the truth that only when you lose does you know how to cherish.

Since coming to this world, Wang Li has met many attractive women, such as Rita, Li Qitong, etc., but he knows that for other women, he is more about physical feelings, and only Angela is really tempted.

Maybe it's the habit that forms nature, anyway, Wang Li feels that he has become accustomed to the feeling of Angela waiting for him at home, and this feeling makes his life very fulfilling.

However, there will always be some helplessness in life, and now, he may be more successful in his career, and then he can consider marriage, after all, in reality, both of them are less than 18 years old.

……… Versace, founded in 1978, is emblematic of the mythical snake demon Medusa, representing a deadly attraction.

Versace's design style is very distinctive, it is a unique aesthetic avant-garde, emphasizing happiness and a sense of surname, the neckline is often open below the waist, the designer has taken the luxury and luxury of the classical aristocratic style, and can fully consider the comfort of wearing and the appropriate display of the body. Versace is good at using noble and luxurious fabrics, with the help of bias tailoring, to produce high-end clothing.

Since the company's founder, Gianni. After Versace was shot, the development of Versace's company was hampered to a certain extent. Versace's development, the company has been one of the world's top ten brands in the field of high-end clothing, this time, they want to use the exhibition in London to enter the high-end brand market in England.

As the image ambassadors of this exhibition, Wang Li and Angela need to wear high-end clothes specially customized by designers, holding hands and shuttling through the exhibition site.

Today, the combination of this pair of golden boys and girls, coupled with the backdrop of clothing, attracted the attention of most people at the beginning of the exhibition.

In the hearts of football-loving Englishmen, Wang Li's current popularity is almost as high as that of David. Beckham, and Princess Angela's appearance is a highlight, as the only daughter of Earl Edward, although Angela rarely appears in the public eye, but this also adds a mysterious circle around her.

As soon as the two came to the exhibition site, they immediately became the protagonists of the whole audience, because they seemed to be too compatible.

This is the first day of the exhibition, and the guests present are all high-ranking people in England, either businessmen or jazz aristocrats, these people will not chase stars, but they will think from another angle, such as the huge commercial value of English dance masters, the influence of Princess Angela's father, Earl Edward, in England's high society, and so on.

In any way, Wang Li and the two will be the protagonists of the scene. As long as the reporter can hype up the golden boy and girl tomorrow, then the Versace brand will definitely follow the free advertising, and the purpose of inviting them to be ambassadors has been achieved.

Wang Li and Angela's job is simple: greet every guest with a smile, chat with these elites at exhibitions, introduce Versace's latest new products by the way, and so on.

For a whole morning, the two spent in this boredom, but the income is also quite rich, a full 12 million euros, of course, the work can not be only half a day, in addition to shooting an advertising film in the afternoon, the contract also stipulates that the two must shoot at least one advertisement for Versace every year within 3 years, and participate in exhibitions and promotions in other countries within the 3-year plan of Versace.

So, in the afternoon, the two of them wandered between the dressing room and the advertising scene, being swung by a large number of various professionals, and constantly receiving verbal attacks from an Italian.

…… In a bright bar, Angela was sitting on the bar, her dull face showed that she was not in a good mood, at this time, Wang Li, who was dressed in Versace, came over and snapped his fingers with his right hand, "Miss, have a cup of coffee." ”

Then, after Wang Li looked up and saw the beauty of the woman in front of him, the expression on his face was very gentlemanly, but his eyes were fixed on Angela's body and did not move, and he said, "You want a cup too?" ”

Angela looked up at Wang Li and smiled, "No,......"

“**!!”

At this time, a shout suddenly came from the side, "Alan, your expression should be natural!" Nature!! And the movements should also be coordinated, showing that cool temperament, don't be as stiff as a piece of wood! ”

"Oh my God, that's terrible!"

…… I have to say that Wang Li really has no talent for acting, and he won't do that kind of handsome action, every time he feels very unnatural, which makes everyone next to him angry, just such a one-and-a-half-minute shot, the two actually filmed for several hours.

But fortunately, it was finally passed, and he won't have to worry about it anymore, as for the future, let's think about it later.

After a busy afternoon, Wang Li's physical fitness felt very tired, and when the two returned home, they both lay directly on the bed.

"Alan, I just knew that your acting skills are really bad." Lying on the bed, Angela turned her head to look at Wang Li, covered her mouth with her little hands and laughed.

Wang Li rolled his eyes and said, "I'm not a professional actor." ”

"That's too bad, you're really not suitable to be an actor."

Being ridiculed by Angela, Wang Li felt depressed for a while, he reached out and pinched her little face, and said a little angrily: "I am a football player." ”

"Okay, I'll not say that." Angela, who was lying on top of her doubles, said something as if she was fine, and then couldn't help laughing.

…… In this kind of life, time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is November 11th, in the League Cup round of 16, Chelsea host Western Union Ham.

In this game, as Wang Li imagined, he did not make the squad at all, so while many of his Chelsea teammates were still fighting on the pitch, he had already arrived at the London airport to take Angela to the United States.

Since coming to this world, this is the first time he has felt reluctant, yes, very reluctant, but there is nothing he can do.

Now, even if Angela is left in London, Wang Li knows that he doesn't dare to really face the problem of marriage, and he doesn't have the confidence to say the words 'I love you' to Angela.

Although he told him in his heart that it was the best choice for the two to be separated for a while, Wang Li was immersed in this reluctant feeling for a whole day, and he didn't even pay attention to the Chelsea game.

In any case, Angela was gone, and Wang Li felt that his life seemed to be back to the way it used to be, and he was alone in the bright villa, which made him feel lonely for a while.

Wang Li seems to be a little nostalgic for the old days when he used to rent a house with Harrielsen.

At least, there's a companion that way, isn't it?

This night, while enduring this loneliness, Wang Li spent it in meditation and cultivation, perhaps there is such an advantage of practicing the inner family mind of Taoism - passing the time.

……… The next day, when it was just a little dark, Wang Li had already gotten up and went straight to the Chelsea Football Club's first-team training ground after breakfast.

Wang Li's training is still free kicks, and in this regard, he is really hard work, and in the absence of martial arts moves to help him progress in this area, he can only use non-stop training to improve his ability in this area.

However, it also gave him a sense of accomplishment.

Because, in Wang Li's view, almost all of his other abilities are assisted by martial arts, and only free kicks are really improved by his own training, and this kind of ability that slowly improves is indeed very joyful.

After his teammates arrived at the training ground, Wang Li also learned the result of yesterday's game - 2-0, Chelsea won.

Let the head coach Jose. What Mr Mourinho didn't expect was that the substitutes were doing well in the cheers of the Blues fans at home, and with a pure bench line-up, Chelsea still managed to win the game.

Celestian. Barbayaro, Alexia. Smerkin, Scott. Parker and other players who rarely play in the game have performed very well in this game, and the guard Robert . Hutter's 38th-minute assist opened the scoring for Chelsea.

In the 77th minute of the second half, Altyn . Arjen Robben netted the second goal for Chelsea with a stop-out effort to make it 2-0, and the Dutch star's recent goalscoring trend has been fierce and his performance has been recognised by all Blues fans.

The victory in this game surprised Mourinho and gave him a headache, and of course it was a good thing to be happy about, but then Chelsea had to go to the last eight of the Carabao Cup.

Even if the League Cup is just a chicken rib, it is also a trophy, if you are eliminated directly in the round of 32 and the round of 16, it feels nothing, but if you can reach the top 4 or even the final, then it is a pity to give up directly.

It also makes Chelsea's fixture schedule tighter, which is what Mourinho is worried about.

However, Chelsea's recent fixtures have been so dense that the Portuguese simply don't have time to think about them, as Chelsea are heading into a smoke-filled west London derby after the West Union Ham game.

Chelsea v Fulham.

……… Although the oldest team in the City of London, Fulham was nothing short of the team's accolades, not comparable to Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea and West Ham in the same city, nicknamed "The Farmer", Fulham never won the top flight, never won the FA Cup, never won the League Cup, and in the 1960s, most of them played in the old First Division (the predecessor of the Premier League), but did not win any major trophies. In 1975, they reached the FA Cup final, but it was their only time.

This year may be a bit of a big year for Fulham as they celebrated their 125th anniversary in September, but their results are clearly out of step with the length of their history, and many Fulham fans are hoping that the team can make a leap forward after the 125th anniversary and win some honours this season.

But the media is clearly not optimistic about Fulham's form this year.

Although Fulham were stronger last season as they emerged from the relegation underdogs and finished ninth, this summer they sold Sean. Davis and other key players have obviously been weakened to a certain extent, so it will be extremely difficult for them to surpass last season's achievements.

On the other hand, Chelsea, after investing 110 million euros this summer, can almost be described as 'appalling' in the league, with 12 consecutive league wins, making their edge almost unbeatable.

So, of course, the media are still optimistic about Chelsea for this game.

However, the focus of this game is not who wins and who loses, as a derby is sometimes more intense off the pitch than on the pitch, and the game is likely to put Chelsea in a quagmire, which is what everyone cares about.

Compared to other derbies such as the north London derby and the Merseyside derby, the rivalry between Chelsea and Fulham is not particularly pronounced due to the long absence from the same division. In fact, there have only been five seasons between the two armies that have played at the same level, and even then, due to the sheer disparity in quality, the two teams rarely fight for a common goal.

However, since Fulham were promoted to the Premier League, the rivalry between the two teams has become extremely tense, and fans of both teams have hated each other throughout history.

Even if it's just a small microcosm of the Premier League derby, it's an extremely important game for both teams. Many fans believe that winning against local rivals is more important than winning the league title, so even if it is not for league points, Chelsea can only win this game, not lose, if they lose to Fulham, then even if they can win the treble this year, this season will not be perfect, and this game will become a flaw in the hearts of fans.

There is that kind of hatred between the same city teams, and as a team in the same north London, both teams are 120 per cent serious about this game.

So, even though Fulham fans feel that this game is not a good win rate, they still want the team to play with their momentum, and even in the game, let the Chelsea players get injured to weaken them.

In an interview with the media, there was even an activist Fulham fan who declared: "I hope in this game, Allen. The king will be injured and will end up! ”

"The score I would most like to see is 1:0 and Fulham won the title thanks to the referee's misjudgment!"

'Chelsea better come into the game with a sense of defeat and we'll give them a good look that day!'

…… The pre-match was marked by such aggressive, intimidating rhetoric that made the west London derby even more explosive, and many Chelsea players knew that even if the team could win, it would never be a good memory – and Chelsea were playing away from home.
