After the media tirelessly praised Zhang Tiehan, as well as various analysis, praise and criticism of the whole Chelsea, Chelsea ushered in the fourth game of the Champions League, and Chelsea and Sofia Levski played again.

The last time the two teams met, Sofia Liwski was bloodied at home.

The Bulgarian team's journey to this year's European Champions Cup was absolutely dismal, losing 5:0 to Barcelona, 7:0 to Chelsea, and then 1:3 to Werder Bremen, they conceded five goals in three games and scored only one goal.

And in this game with Chelsea, Sofia Lievski was away again, lost the home advantage and faced their bloody Chelsea, how much fighting spirit Sofia Lieves had, you can imagine how much fighting spirit Sofia Lieves has.

For Sofia Leewski, the good news is that Grant has only arranged a substitute lineup, and some players who can rarely play have all had the opportunity to play, and people such as Zhang Tiehan and Lampard have simply not appeared in the squad, so Sofia Levski can finally play a game of equal strength.

But in the end, in the Stamford Bridge Blues fans cheered, Sofia Liwski still lost the game 1-0, it turned out that even Chelsea's substitute line-up, much better than them, throughout the game, Chelsea have been besieging Sofia Liwski in the half, the score does not prove anything, the game process better explains the gap between the two teams.

After this game, Chelsea won four games and advanced to the round of 16, and the next two games are not very important.

Chelsea also became the first team to qualify for the Champions League group stage ahead of schedule.

Soon after the match against Sofia Levski, the Premier League ushered in the fifteenth round of the Premier League, and Chelsea's opponents were Bolton.

But almost no one paid attention to this game in this round. Because all eyes on Europe are focused on a white paper that has just been released.

Two days before the competition, 25 European sports ministers met in Brussels for a draft.

The draft also includes restrictions on foreign players, as well as illegal gambling, money laundering, racial discrimination and the trading of young players.

This draft was proposed by the former Portuguese Minister of Sport, Luis Arnaut, who, in his white paper, stated that this mention is to avoid those millionaire teams having a monopoly on all the good players. And he also proposed. The limitation on player wages does not mean that the salary of a single player is limited, but that the cost of player salary expenses for the whole team is limited.

Six sports ministers, including England's sporting minister, Richard Carben, set up a working group after the meeting, and their main task will be to draft a legal case and convince the G14 to agree to their case. The IOC has also expressed a great deal of interest in their proposal.

Premier League chief executive Richard Schomemore has long been unhappy with Richard Carben's desire to increase government administration on football, and Carben will have to discuss a proposal with Cchudamore to limit the team's spending in February next year.

At the moment, it seems that Carben has a heavy task, and since the basis for capping the player's salary is based on the proportion of the club's income, Scchudamore has raised strong doubts about the draft, "Doing so is actually more obvious for the big clubs. Because their income is significantly high. If that's the case, then teams like Wigan, Fulham and Middlesbrough simply can't be in the Premier League. Is that what we really want to see? ”

But in the eyes of the European media, the draft looks more like it is aimed at Chelsea.

If this draft can really go smoothly, the biggest impact on the Premier League teams will be Chelsea, with the arrival of Abu, Chelsea has invested more than 100 million yuan in the transfer market in recent years, and there are many high-income players in the team with a weekly salary of more than 100,000 pounds, especially Zhang Tiehan's salary. This figure is much higher in terms of wage expenditures. Chelsea are much higher than their incomes.

In addition, some media are worried that the draft will continue to be upgraded after the audit, and some new policies have been introduced recently, but fortunately, the UEFA president is being elected, which is currently the most important thing in European football, and after the election of a new president, a series of adjustments will be made. Therefore, it will take a long time for this draft to really pass guò and become the real bill of European football, and this time can be two years, three years, four years, five years or even longer.

But it's already clear that the draft is aimed at Chelsea.

There's no denying it. The content of this draft is still very much in line with the wishes of the fans, no fan likes to see football always being messed up by those rich people, making football purely a game for the rich, and everyone wants an equal and fair environment.

But this draft is still very immature, many of the problems have not been solved, such as after the draft is introduced, those small clubs with little influence, even if there is foreign capital to settle in, can not develop rapidly, and then for example, the punishment measures for some teams that do not meet the situation, etc., in short, before these are not agreed, it will take a long time to really turn the draft into a bill.

Before the match against Bolton, Zhang Tiehan was also asked about it.

But Zhang Tiehan just shrugged his shoulders without hesitation, "This has nothing to do with me, I'm just a player, you should go and interview those club presidents and managers, this is something they should consider." ”

Indeed, Zhang Tiehan didn't want to spend this brain at all.

Anyway, he's just a player, as for the media saying that his salary is too high, he doesn't think it's anything, because his cousin deserves such a salary, if he is given the same salary level as other players, then it is unfair to him, as for other issues, it has nothing to do with him, he is just a player, not the manager or president of the club, and he has no need to say anything about it.

In this match with Bolton, the final result was 1:0, and the only goal came from Zhang Tiehan.

In the game, Grant fielded a main line-up, which was somewhat unexpected by the media, as Chelsea's next opponent was Arsenal. In the eyes of the media, Grant should save his strength and prepare to deal with Arsenal.

The issue was also raised in the media at the post-match press conference, to which Grant said: "Arsenal are a strong opponent but we are ready. The Israelis said no more. But anyone could tell he didn't care about Arsenal.

Zhang Tiehan was asked the same question after the game.

"I think Bolton is more difficult to deal with. I don't think the next game will be too tough, knowing that Arsenal are not very high in the league at the moment."

It's a bit of a defiance of Arsenal.

The Arsenal media is naturally very dissatisfied, but I have to say that Zhang Tiehan's statement is actually not wrong, and it is really difficult for Arsenal to become Chelsea's opponent now, and they have even lost the qualification to compete for the league title.

Arsenal have played a lot of big scores this season, but the winners were all Arsenal, with a 3-0 win over Liverpool. A 4-0 win over Reading, they scored three goals in a row in midweek after conceding a goal to beat Hamburg 3-1.

However, fate reversed three days later when they were beaten 3-1 by Bolton Wanderers at the Reebok Stadium.

This was Arsenal's last round of league games.

Bolton did well in this game, as it was Arsenal who conceded first and took the lead in the ninth minute when Diouf headed home a corner from the left and an unmarked Fayet headed home from four yards. The Senegalese have scored just two goals in a whole year, and the last time was at this stadium. The opponent is also Arsenal.

"I'm sad for my team, we didn't have good control at some key moments in the game, especially the first goal. You can't give Bolton Wanderers freedom of movement when you take a corner, and it's difficult to chase points away from home after conceding a goal. Arsene Wenger was helpless. He didn't even intend to criticize anyone.

For example, the referee's decision by Mr. Michael Dean caused Arsene Wenger to complain to the fourth official three times and almost got into a fight at least three times with players on both sides of the pitch.

Arsene Wenger said before the game: "We are no longer afraid of hand-to-hand combat", but underestimated the other's survival. In the 20th minute, Davies made a ferocious tackle on Eboe. The angry Ivorians scolded each other sharply, at most a scolding, but before the referee arrived, Davies suddenly stretched out his hands to push Ebob down, the Arsenal youngster held the back of his head in pain, and the referee immediately made a card move, at this time Davies seemed to have a premonition of something, and walked down the field with his head down, but a surprising scene happened, Mr. Dean's hand only raised a yellow card. The Arsenal players were furious, of course, but the appeal was invalid. What happened next proved that the bout was already beyond the line of "qualified hand-to-hand combat" from here.

In the 25th minute, Ljungberg was shown a yellow card for being rude to the referee, why? With slow-motion replays, it was clear to all that the Bolton player's spiked shoes had stomped on the Swede's feet, but the referee turned a blind eye.

Five minutes later, Lehmann was shown another yellow card for the same reason, and for the same reason: a Bolton player almost caused a dangerous situation when he pushed the German in a small move in the box, but the referee said nothing.

Under the "connivance" of the referee, Bolton people played more and more roughly, and the Arsenal players were also forced by this atmosphere, and repeatedly responded to the opponent's fierce fouls, which is exactly the way of Allardyce, a team of impetuous, only caring about the fighting spirit of Arsenal with their own shortcomings to their strengths, the result can be imagined. Arsene Wenger's expression on the sidelines changed from anger to confusion to helplessness, and after Nicolas Anelka's third goal on the pitch, Arsenal's defeat was assured.

This game also proved that the current Arsenal are not strong, and they are completely incapable of outperforming the body with technique in the 03-04 season.

On the other hand, Bolton is very resolute in defense and sharp in attack, although such a team is technically rough, it is more difficult to deal with than Arsenal, Zhang Tiehan's statement is actually not wrong at all, facing Bolton is more difficult than Arsenal, especially after Bolton's victory over Arsenal, it is very convincing.

Arsenal's encounter with Fulham in this round proved Zhang Tiehan's claim - Arsenal lost 1-2 to the Farmers, they suffered three consecutive defeats on the road, and the gap between them and Chelsea widened to 18 points, Wenger admitted after the game that there is still hope for Arsenal mathematically, but logically the Gunners have withdrawn from the title race.

"Winning the championship became a math problem, now let's forget about it and focus on the next race."

"We never thought we would lose to our opponents. The game was always at a high speed, my players did their best, they created some chances, so I wasn't disappointed with the players' performance. 'With three defeats in a row on the road, Arsene Wenger went from furious (against West Ham and Pardew) to regret (against Bolton) to today's frustration, admitting that Arsenal had beaten Fulham completely.

'It's our third consecutive away defeat and we should have picked up points against West Ham and Bolton Wanderers, but it wasn't Arsenal today.

Arsenal did encounter a hurdle, with a lot of injuries, average bench depth, fatigue of the main players, and a sluggish state of the whole team

Speaking about the next game, Arsene Wenger said: 'The next game is against Chelsea and I will encourage the players to play hard and if we can win this one it will help us to improve our morale, at the moment Chelsea are top of the league and I think there is nothing better than beating the top of the league and I hope to do what Manchester United have not done.
