Chapter 312: Sweeping a Thousand Armies (1)

In Group H of the UEFA Champions League, Chelsea have secured a place in the Champions League with four wins from four games, so the whole club is not concerned about the next home game against Paris Saint-Germain.

The same goes for the first-team players, first of all, the outcome of this game is not important to Chelsea at all, and it does not affect Mr Abou's bonus stack, and perhaps only the loss of the home game will not affect the face.

However, with the power of victory, the Chelsea players did not want to lose.

Chelsea's record this season has been so impressive, and in the midst of that brilliance, many players feel that the team is the strongest team in the whole Premier League, if not the whole world, and that losing seems to be a long way off, so they still want to try to win, even if it is a game that makes no sense to Chelsea.

However, this ambivalence did not last long, and the atmosphere within the Chelsea squad began to become distinct, with some players being casual and others nervous, because of the team's manager, Jose. Two days before the game, Mr. Mourinho announced the team's line-up - goalkeeper: Thomas. Clark, defenders: Glen Johnson, Celestien Babayaro, Robert Hut, Wayne. Brigi, midfielders: Felipe Oliveira, Alexia Smerkin, Scott. Parker, Joe. Cole, Forward: Alkin. Robben, Didier. Although many people were a little prepared for the next game that the manager would train the substitutes, when they heard the names in this list being read out one by one, they still shocked everyone in the team.

Among them, the most joyful is of course Felipe. Oliveira.

The Portuguese youngster was a real talent, having been promoted to Chelsea's first-team squad at the age of 17, but he has only made a measly four appearances in his four seasons at Chelsea, and has been training with the development squad without even receiving a number for two seasons.

So, every opportunity to play is very important for Oliveira.

Leaving Oliveira aside, many of the other substitutes also have mixed feelings, but in any case, it is definitely a rare opportunity to play in the Champions League, so these substitutes have worked even harder during the two days of training within Chelsea.

Although there is not much contradiction and disharmony within Chelsea, in reality, there is still a clear distinction between big-name players and fringe players, which seems to be a small group within the group, but it is also unavoidable, and the two groups are very different in terms of income and situation, which is bound to form different groups.

Compared with those pure substitute players who can play in the next game, the situation of the big-name stars is completely opposite, they are all talking and laughing, harmonious atmosphere, and they feel very relaxed, of course, Wang Li is also one of them. Since he had a fish and water relationship with Rita two days ago, he felt that he was in a very good mood in the past two days, and even his internal strength cultivation had made some progress, which was indeed very comfortable.

Unlike other main players, Wang Li is quite hard-working, in addition to following the team to do basic training, he has to practice free kicks for an hour every day, and when he returns to his residence, he has to practice for several hours of internal strength, sometimes when Rita is free, he will also come to him to 'sit', of course, at this time, he gave up the practice of internal strength at night.

……… Time passed quickly, and in an instant, it was the day of the competition, that is, November 25th.

The night before, Paris Saint-Euros-Saint-Euros, who had arrived in London in full force, were the opposite of Chelsea's carelessness, and this game was crucial for them, as long as they won against Chelsea and got three points, they could fight Porto for second place in the group, and vice versa, they would be eliminated one round earlier and have to play in the UEFA Cup this season.

So, a lot of the French media came to London to keep up with the game, and for them, the most they wanted was for Chelsea to 'give up' on the game, because it didn't mean anything to them.

For this reason, at the pre-match press conference, a French reporter asked directly about the starting line-up of the game and whether Chelsea would play the main team, and when he heard the roundabout questions from the mouths of these French reporters, Mr. Mourinho said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "...... Chelsea are a team that wants to win, we don't let go of any win, and I'm sure the players will try to play every game, whether it's the Champions League, the league or anything else. ”

Hearing this answer, these French media's faces darkened a little, with the strength of Chelsea, they can beat Paris Saint-Germain 4-1 away from home, if it is all the main players at home, is it possible for Paris Saint-Germain to win!? Even the French media, which support Paris Saint-Germain, are a little lacking in confidence.

They even have now figured out what to report after the game - "It's not that we're too weak, it's that the opponent is too strong!?" 》

However, as soon as the starters entered the stadium through the tunnel, the French press knew that they had been fooled by the 'damned' Portuguese!! Take a look at these Chelsea players who took to the pitch, in addition to Didier Drogba and Joe. With the exception of Cole, almost all of them were substitutes, and there were even a few of them who couldn't be named, so it was clear that Chelsea didn't care about the outcome of the game.

At this time, they were naturally a little happy, although they knew in their hearts that there was a gap between the strength of Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea, but they could not beat the opponent's pure substitute lineup!? These media seem to have seen the dawn of victory beckoning to the team.

And the coach of Paris Saint-Saint-Germain, Mr. Halilozc, feels that he has seen the hope of victory, and now he is too eager to win, you know, now Paris Saint-Germain is 15th in the league, on the verge of the relegation zone, which makes his position at the club very embarrassing, if the Champions Cup results are also eliminated, he knows very well that he may have to leave Paris, neither the club nor the fans will allow the team to have such a bad record.

Unfortunately, contrary to what these Frenchmen imagined, the protagonist of this game was not Paris Saint-Germain, nor the forwards, midfielders and defenders of either team, but Chelsea goalkeeper Thomas and the Blues fans in the stands.

From the opening moment, the Blues fans became the protagonists, and these fans will not forget the treatment that the French gave to Chelsea last time in Paris, so adhering to the principle of revenge, the Blues fans in the stadium sang their own songs neatly from the beginning of the game, those words were of course abusive, from the manager of Paris Saint-Saint-Germain to their current results, and then to the individual players on the field, this kind of singing can always be heard in the audience at any time of the game, which makes the players who understand English at Paris Saint-Saint-Germain depressed.

The other protagonist is Chelsea goalkeeper Thomas. Clarke.

Although the strength of Paris Saint-Germain is indeed not as good as Chelsea, Chelsea's bench lineup is indeed very weak, the most important of which is the cooperation between the players, these substitute players often do not play, which makes them always have all kinds of mistakes in coordination, which also gives Paris Saint-Germain a lot of opportunities.

In the first half, striker Pauletta alone had four shots on goal from within the woodwork, but alas, Thomas was in great form in this game, and he saved all these balls one by one with various moves such as saves, falls, hits, and picks, which made the Blues fans whistle with excitement.

In the 77th minute of the second half, taking advantage of the opportunity for Thomas to pick up the ball again and throw the ball to counterattack, Joe. Cole used his superb individual qualities up front, beating two in a row before giving the Dutchman a chance and Arjen Robben opening the scoring with a volley from just inside the box.

It was the only goal of the game.

1-0, Chelsea emerged victorious.

The result of the game was really beyond the expectations of the manager Mr. Mourinho, he looked at the tall Englishman in front of the Chelsea goal for a long time, and wondered if he should let Peter use the substitute lineup next time. Petr Cech starts!?

Anyway, the game was won, and Mr Mourinho really had no reason to be upset, he even wondered if God was really bless Chelsea!? Why is this all-underbench still winning!?

Finally, the 'madman' turned to assistant coach Clark with some helplessness and said, "Should we promote some youth team players?" ”

Mr Clarke was clearly a bit confused about this statement, and what he didn't understand was when the Portuguese had a penchant for promoting new players, knowing that he had never been to the youth team training centre since he arrived at Chelsea.

In this game, the best person in the whole game was undoubtedly Thomas. Clark, this time he was unanimously recognized by the fans, media reporters and even FA officials, and won the honor of the best player of the game as the goalkeeper, perhaps, after this game, Chelsea will be red by many giants, just when most clubs are worried about the selection of goalkeepers, Chelsea already has two extremely good young goalkeepers.

After this Champions League match, Thomas. Clark's name is also well-known to many fans with the game, and the major giants have moved quickly to send scouts to observe Thomas's performance, and now, the most lacking thing in the entire world football is undoubtedly the goalkeeper, especially in England, the Premier League, and the national David. James is known as the 'nerve knife', which can be seen from this.

Obviously, the game has created Thomas, the English big man who has just passed the age of 20, and has become a sweet spot in the eyes of various teams, at least for now, if he can't play the main team at Chelsea, Thomas will definitely not have to return to the Championship to continue training.

The English media are obviously not going to let go of this star-making event, and their favorite thing to do is to praise their young players, as long as England's young players have a little bit of good performance, they will go out of their way to praise them, and of course, this kind of touting may also kill many young stars.

Therefore, after the game, the head coach Mr. Mourinho directly put Thomas Mourinho. Clark called to the office to have a separate chat, the players didn't know what the coach said to him, even the best relationship Wang Li didn't know, but after coming out of the head coach's office, Thomas trained harder.

For this reason, Wang Li is also very happy in his heart, Thomas is undoubtedly his best friend since he came into this world, and the friendship between the two is incomparable even to Brigitte - Wang Li still deeply remembers living in the players' dormitory at Wolfhampton, and that feeling is absolutely impossible to experience now.

……… Amid the media enthusiasm for Chelsea's second goalkeeper Thomas, the atmosphere in the Chelsea team was not relaxed, because just two days later, on November 27th, it was the 15th round of the English Premier League - Chelsea visited the London Valley to challenge Charlton Athletic!!

Charlton secured a place in the Premier League in 1992 but suffered relegation a year later. In 2001, Charlton Athletic returned to the Premier League and have been fighting as a Premier League dark horse ever since.

Charlton's recruitment for the new season has not been spectacular, but it has brought in a practical player, Birmingham's Brian. Hughes is technically delicate, PSV Eindhoven's Danish full-back Romedahl is extraordinary, and Charlton Athletic's quality is still a headache under manager Jubichef Kubishli.

But even so, the Chelsea team, which was playing away, still did not disappoint many fans and media, 3:1, this is the final game.

In this game, Wang Li played 78 minutes, and his performance of one shot and two passes still won the best of the game, speaking of which, since the beginning of this season, this game honor has almost been insulated from the rest of Chelsea's players, because Wang Li's performance in every game is very outstanding, even if Chelsea's big names are gathered, it will not hide his radiance.

After this game, many mainstream media in England who resolutely resisted the "Sterling Army" have panicked, if Chelsea's performance in the previous games can be described as strength and luck, then now the league has won 15 consecutive games, this kind of performance can no longer be described as simple luck + strength, it can really be said that it is a notch away from other Premier League teams.

Whether it is fans or the media, it is clear from Chelsea's match statistics that the main reason for their winning streak is the dance maestro Allen. King!

Wang Li scored 31 goals in 15 league games, this kind of goal efficiency is beyond everyone's expectations, and it also shocks everyone, think about if a team has a player who can score at least two goals per game, and others add to the bricks, won't victory be within reach!?

Now many, many big teams have no scruples, they are desperate to get this outstanding player, sending negotiators to frantically pour into London, pouring into Chelsea club, even Real Madrid, who have always only brought in superstars, can not bear it, for them, maybe Wang Li can become an important weight over the arch-rival Barcelona.

It's a pity that Chelsea is not a small team, and the current owner, Mr. Abu, is not in a hurry to buy players, so how can he consider selling the team's best players!?

Therefore, those people are doomed to return in vain.

At this time, the English media hostile to Chelsea began to call for "Who will stop them!" 》

We need heroes! 》

"Is the Premier League really going to usher in the Chelsea era!? 》

……… In the midst of this overwhelming praise and fear, the clock has entered December, and London has also become cold in this change of time, and on December 1, Chelsea will take on city rivals Fulham in the Carabao Cup.

On this day, it was raining lightly in London, and Chelsea players were greeted with padded shirts and long-spiked football boots onto the pitch at Carr Farmhouse.

The local Fulham fans in the crowd took centre stage, shouting 'revenge' from the stands, 'letting Chelsea know the awesome' and so on, and the 13 Premier League games seemed to be just around the corner, and these fans could not forget the humiliation of the defeat.

For Fulham FC, the Premier League title, they have almost no hope of winning, and the League Cup trophy is their goal this year. Coleman, in his opinion, is a game that is a chicken rib for Chelsea, and the Portuguese is likely to abandon the competition to focus on leading the team to the Premier League and Champions League – as Chelsea did in their first two Carabao Cup games, where they have been fielding all the substitutes.

But this is not the case!!

Mr. Abramovich has set a new goal for the team - to compete for four titles, and under this goal, even the team's head coach Jose Brown. Mr. Mourinho was a little confused about this goal, but he could not let the team give up on his own initiative, so in this game, Chelsea still played the main team, which directly caused many Fulham players to panic. In the face of this Chelsea team's all-main lineup, the Fulham players still have some shadows in their hearts even now, especially the black-haired boy among them, they have no confidence to prevent it!

It was easy to imagine what level Fulham could play in this state of mind, and the game was completely one-sided, with Chelsea winning 4-0 away at Fulham.

This game can be regarded as a classic derby battle in London, not only the relationship between the two teams, but also the meaning of the game - the complete elimination system, which also attracted a lot of media attention, but unfortunately, they did not find any big news in the game, and the result was expected by most people.

After the game, Fulham boss Chris Brown. Coleman's heart is also full of helplessness, he found that Chelsea is simply Fulham's nemesis, whether it is the Premier League or the League Cup, Fulham's home stadium, but both have experienced complete defeats, which is really a bit ironic, for the Englishman who has just started his coaching career, this may be a big ordeal.

After three games in a row, Chelsea's packed schedule is not over, and just three days later, they host Newcastle United.
