Chapter 520: The Best Team and the Strongest Team
'Twice leading, twice equalised, but Chelsea were stubborn enough to win the game, which made everyone see their fearlessness and their belief in winning!'
There was still celebration on the pitch at Stamford Bridge, and there was a rare sight to see as all the Chelsea players except Petr Cech took off their shirts and threw them into the stands.
It doesn't seem like you should be so excited to get a win in the league, but it also depends on who the opponent is, Manchester City used to be Chelsea's sufferers, so it's fair to say that Chelsea have suffered a lot of abuse, and now every time you win Manchester City, the Chelsea fans and the Chelsea players are extremely excited, it's like you've beaten your old enemy, and that feeling is really good.
Eleven players, ten of them all showed their strong and capable bodies, and even if the football players were not in good shape, the muscles they exercised were also very toned, which is why they dared to go shirtless.
"Oh!"
"Ahh
In the stands, the screams of female fans and the whistles of male fans sounded from time to time, after all, such a scene is really rare, anyway, in Lin Yu's impression, it seems that there has never been.
Until the players entered the players' tunnel, the shouting continued, and it was clearly audible.
……
Fernando Torres scored twice and Lin Yu also scored and assisted, it was a perfect game, both for Torres and for Lin Yu.
Winning Manchester City is equivalent to taking another solid step on the road to winning the league title, after all, looking at other opponents, it is really Chelsea who can pose a threat. That is, a limited number of teams such as Manchester City and Arsenal, each one is killed. It was all a bonus.
Although Arsenal also beat Tottenham, they also took all three points. But the gap has not been reduced in the slightest, which is not bad news for Chelsea, not to mention that the next game, Chelsea will play away to Tottenham Hotspur, and if Tottenham loses, morale will inevitably drop, which is actually a good thing for Chelsea.
Any team, if it loses, it's going to be demoralizing. Even Chelsea is the same, except that Chelsea has Mourinho who is good at mobilizing emotions and Lin Yu who is good at mobilizing morale, which makes the team's morale even if it drops for a while, it will soon improve.
Tottenham is different, although Villas-Boas is said to be Mourinho's junior brother, he really does not have Mourinho's charisma, and once he loses, players will even doubt him. What's more, Boas has not won any trophies in the Premier League so far, and he has no confidence to speak, where is it like Mourinho, in addition to three Champions League trophies. In the Premier League, he is basically calling for wind and rain and can do anything, especially last season when he won the six crowns. This is an unprecedented morale boost for the team, and it is even more effective for Mourinho's own status. Now in the eyes of Chelsea fans and players, Mourinho is a god!
The word of God is naturally different from the word of mortals. Villas-Boas is just a human being, and it is a bit difficult for him to rely on his charisma to boost the morale of the team.
So now the whole Chelsea team is not taking Tottenham Hotspur seriously, a team that has lost its fighting spirit, and if you value it, you will make yourself nervous.
They are more concerned about the Champions League quarter-final against Roma.
The first leg, still at Stamford Bridge, this game against Manchester City, can be said to be a warm-up, he made Chelsea in their home stadium look long, but also boosted confidence, then against Roma, naturally can be treated with a higher mental state.
Roma has produced many stars in history, such as Totti, who is still playing, as well as former Worrall, Ancelotti, Falcao (not the current Falcao), Batistuta and so on.
A long history, an excellent record, their name was known when Serie A was very strong, and now, the red wolves of Roma seem to have woken up from their sleep again, they beat their opponents again and again to win the league last season, and now they are going to win the Champions League to prove their true quality.
However, their current coach, Rudy Garcia, is a little unhappy.
Why not be happy?
In fact, the matter is very simple, the media always likes to compare him with Mourinho, which makes him tireless, and even some pessimistic Italian media, before the game is played, constantly ask him what to do after losing the game.
Although Rudi Garcia is not as famous as Mourinho, his historical record in coaching is actually not bad, and after joining Roma, the results have been very good, he believes that he has the opportunity to surpass Mourinho, so every time others say that he is not as good as Mourinho, he is very unhappy.
The English media said that it was just that, and even the Italian media themselves were chattering there, which was really tiresome.
There is another reason why he is unhappy, that is, in the league, Roma lost, compared to Chelsea's defeat of the strong rival Manchester City, Roma's loss is obviously a not very good sign, which makes Rudi Garcia also a little sullen, he thinks that his players are still a little tired, after all, compared with Chelsea, the thickness of the bench is really incomparable, so in the last game, he almost sent a substitute lineup to play in the domestic league.
He thinks very well, even if he loses, he can still maintain the top spot, but there is only one point left from second place, the fans are still understandable, but the media is unreasonable, they always say that Rudy Garcia may end up with nothing.
"Those media know! It's called a strategic adjustment, if I lose the Champions League because of team fatigue, I will never be reconciled, and now, if the main squad that maintains sufficient physical strength still loses to Chelsea, at least I have worked hard, and the loss is just a matter of strength, not a problem with my tactics! ”
He really thinks that the media is short-sighted, even if Roma really lose the league title this season, but if they can do well in the Champions League. At the very least, it is also a consolation for the declining Serie A, if you are lucky enough to win Chelsea. Then those who compare him to Mourinho should also shut up completely.
Rudy Garcia is actually quite confident. It's not something he's doing, it's because his players are all full of the same fighting spirit.
The main players have been rotated in the league and they are all ready to give Chelsea a hard time in the Champions League quarter-finals.
Although the draw was over at the beginning, they also scolded UEFA because of the draw against Chelsea, saying that UEFA targeted them, but since the result can no longer be changed, there is no point in dwelling on those things, and they now want to beat Chelsea. Then establish Roman hegemony in Europe.
The glory of the Roman Empire, which once amazed many.
So, as a team in the city of Rome, how can they show their domineering and courage in front of the world?
There is no doubt that Chelsea will be a good opponent!
Last year's Champions League, the new six-time champion! If they can take out this team, then for them, it will be another glory for the Roman Empire.
Looking at the training ground, the players are serious and hardworking. Rudi Garcia is even more confident, his players not only have the fighting spirit and confidence to win, but also the effort to win, and he does not believe that Chelsea are invincible. I don't believe Stamford Bridge will be able to break down.
Thinking of Roma's lineup, Rudi Garcia was not discouraged, in terms of stars. They also had the likes of De Rossi, Totti, and the fighting power of Rome. It's not about a particular star, it's about the strength of the whole. So they are not afraid of Chelsea, they are not afraid of Lin Yu.
Probably the reason why Rudy Garcia had this idea is that he has never met Lin Yu, the Roma team and Chelsea have never had a confrontation experience until now, Rudy Garcia doesn't know how powerful this Chelsea team is, let alone Lin Yu's strength.
Many coaches will underestimate Lin Yu, especially the coach who has not led the team and played with Lin Yu's team, they always think that Lin Yu is too much boasted by the media and is a bit inhuman.
They will say, is Lin Yu as good as Ronaldo?
Is Messi good?
Is Maradona great?
Of course, some people will tell them that Lin Yu may be more powerful than Maradona to some extent, and he may not be called the king of the ball, or because he has no World Cup experience, but an indisputable fact is that Lin Yu's achievements in the club are definitely much more brilliant than Maradona.
Even Messi can't compare with him.
Rudy Garcia never thought he would lose away to Chelsea, his goal is to win, or at worst to return to Roma with a draw, so that he can rely on home advantage to finish Chelsea and then advance.
It's not that he's short-sighted, a coach has a lot of confidence in his team, which is a good thing in itself, plus Rudy Garcia's lack of understanding of Chelsea and Lin Yu, it is normal to have this kind of thinking.
What's more, Roma does have the quality of this team, and if they want to get a draw at Stamford Bridge, it is not impossible.
Chelsea want to win two in a row? It's a dream!
In Rudy Garcia's view, Chelsea itself is just a local tyrant team, although the money has gradually decreased in the past two years, and even won six crowns last season, but he still does not recognize the fact that Chelsea is a giant, he once said in an interview with a Rome media: "If you want me to admit that Chelsea is a giant, then take a Champions League two consecutive championships, a Champions League, that's just shit luck, it doesn't count very much, can win two consecutive championships, that is the real Chelsea dynasty!" ”
His team doesn't need to aim too high, he has already told his players that the focus of this season is the Champions League! As long as he wins the Champions League trophy, he will become a coach as famous as Jose Mourinho, and his career will also reach a climax.
And these players of his will also worship him as a god, like Mourinho's status at Chelsea now.
The most special one?
The happiest one?
Hmph, I'm going to be the greatest!
Of course, these words were said by Rudy Garcia himself, and his character was not as arrogant as Lin Yu, and he would not say these words.
Soon, the days were upon us for this high-profile match.
Before the start of the game, the media in Italy and England played up the match very strongly.
"War between the Roman Empire and the British Empire!"
"UEFA's conspiracy to smash Serie A and the Premier League to the dead!"
"Will the older generation of stars Totti become the great ones, or will the new generation of stars Lin Yu become the eye-catching ones?"
"Is Rudi Garcia, who has a league winning streak, good, or Jose Mourinho, who has three Champions League trophies?"
In this game, there will never be a shortage of topics, and there will never be a shortage of saliva.
UEFA's suppression of Serie A and the Premier League is actually nothing new, Serie A has now declined, if the Premier League is not for Chelsea all these years, I am afraid that they will be ranked behind the Bundesliga, and this season, the two teams with the best performance in their respective leagues, two teams that have not tasted defeat in the Champions League have met, UEFA's purpose is very clear, that is, they are dead, even if one team advances in the end, it will inevitably be the result of a thousand injuries to the enemy and eight hundred self-losses, Rejoicing in the fact that they are still those who secretly do evil.
