Chelsea, a team in south London, is simply the Blues. Historically, they have not been as successful as Manchester United and Arsenal, who have won the Premier League, but now the Blues are definitely one of the strongest teams in England.

What brought them strength were two men, the Italian Ranieri and the Russian Abramovich.

Claudio Ranieri, who led Fiorentina to success in his home country and then Valencia in Spain. In 2000, he was spotted by Chelsea and became Chelsea's manager.

In his first season alone, he managed to lead Chelsea to European qualification for the following year.

That season, Chelsea's top scorer Jussel Hasselbaink won the Premier League Golden Boot with 23 league goals and made his name the subject of discussions among fans about Chelsea's all-time great centre-forwards, along with his predecessors Hillsden, Bentley, Greaves, Osgood and Dixon.

Ranieri began to make moves in the transfer market after achieving some success, as he got rid of veterans such as Wise, Poyet and Leboeuf and spent a total of £42 million to buy defender William Gallas, midfielders Frank Lampard, Emmanuel Petit and Slavisa Jokanovic, as well as wingers Jasper Glenschal and Bodvein Zenden.

It is worth mentioning that he also promoted a young man from the youth team, his name is John Terry.

As it turned out, Ranieri had a good eye.

John Terry and Frank Lampard, in particular, have both been regular players in just one season and have been central players, one at the back and the other in midfield, ensuring that Chelsea's two fronts are top-class.

Unfortunately, due to the large transfer investment, as well as the construction of the west stand at Stamford Bridge, the construction of ancillary facilities, hotels, etc., these investments are not enough for Chelsea, they have good results, but their wallets cannot keep up, and the heavy debt burden makes the club need new investment to tide over the difficulties.

The Russian Roman Abramovich came.

On 2 July this year, Roman Abramovich bought the debt-ridden Chelsea club. At that time, Abramovich, a 36-year-old Russian super-rich, was an enigmatic figure to all of England. As soon as the news of Chelsea's sale came out, the future of the club remained uncertain at first. But it didn't take long for Chelsea's intentions to develop under Roman Abramovich and Chelsea to buy players before the season at a cost that no club could have imagined before.

Talented players such as Glen Johnson, Claude Makelele, Veron and Joe Cole have all been bought by Chelsea.

In just one summer, Chelsea have spent more than £100 million on the transfer market, while off the pitch, Roman Abramovich has managed to take the club completely private.

This season, Chelsea have been terrible!

With so many new players on board, Ranieri quickly cemented the squad together, beating Liverpool at Anfield for the first time in 11 seasons since the start of the Premier League.

In just the past game, Chelsea have won two very crucial games.

In Rome, Italy, they beat the mighty Lazio 4-0 to set a new record for the biggest win for a foreign team in Italy.

In the Premier League, they moved to the top of the Premier League table with a win over defending champions Manchester United.

Compared to Chelsea, Wigan Athletic are as fragile as a child, in the eyes of the media, in the eyes of England fans, and even in the eyes of Wigan fans.

Perhaps, in the eyes of Wigan Athletic players, this is also the case.

When the news was told to the players, Jevier looked at them solemnly, and there was disbelief and excitement in their eyes, but that excitement must have been due to being able to compete with a behemoth like Chelsea.

Jewell was a little disappointed, although he didn't think the team had a chance to win at Stamford Bridge, "Next weekend we're going to play at Stamford Bridge, it's a great stadium, there will be tens of thousands of fans in the side, I just hope you can get used to the atmosphere and show the normal level of the team. ”

'It's very tough for us to win, it can even be described as a miracle, so I don't want you to have any pressure, play well, show the quality of the team and don't let the opponent score easily.'

'It's a bit unrealistic to win, but I want to see a Wigan Athletic team at Stamford Bridge who are motivated and working hard to win!'

Jevier was somewhat pessimistic about what he said to the players, but it was the truth.

No matter who you are, you can't imagine a promoted team in League One going to wrestle with the top of the Premier League, let alone playing on the opponent's turf, which almost means that Wigan Athletic's League Cup road has come to an end.

Every player is hungry for the game because it's against the best teams in England, and as for winning? It's too difficult, it's too difficult, they think more about performing more in the game, maybe they can become famous by then? Maybe there's a chance.

In front of Chelsea, Wigan Athletic is naïve like a child, a child fights with an adult, even if he has a weapon, it is difficult to win, and absolute strength can suppress everything.

What's more, it was at Stamford Bridge, the Chelsea people's turf, and it would only be Chelsea who had weapons, they were children, and they were still empty-handed.

Zhang Tiehan and everyone else have similar ideas.

He wants to perform at Stamford Bridge, against opponents like Chelsea, at Stamford Bridge, if he can show something, such as stealing those big stars a dozen times in a game, such as creating a few saviors in danger, by the way, he may be a striker...... If you can score a goal, it will be perfect!

scored two goals and scored twice......

"Wigan Athletic has scored, they have scored two goals, and the goal, it is still Wigan Athletic's No. 13 youngster Zhang! It was his second goal of the game, and he scored twice at Stamford Bridge before he was 19 years old! The score was 2-0 and the whole Chelsea squad was already in love with the youngster, all of whom were on their knees in a gesture of worship, as if they were worshipping the king. Look! The crowd in the crowd stood up to cheer for the goal, Zhang conquered Stamford Bridge, conquered the crowd here, and listen, what the Chelsea fans were shouting, 'Come to Stamford Bridge, new king'...... God ......"

Yes, God!

Zhang Tiehan thought to himself, Jewell didn't know what to say later, that kind of bow worship would be a bit extravagant, but if he could score, it would definitely feel very good!

That would surely catch the attention of the whole of England!

When the time comes, more people will know about themselves, understand themselves, and more media will interview them, and they will really become famous.

The world knows how to become famous in the first fight! Who wouldn't! Nobody doesn't want to!

Zhang Tiehan thinks so, other Wigan Athletic players have more or less similar thoughts, everyone has **, and they all hope that they can become famous, which motivates their fighting spirit, even if Jewell doesn't say anything, they will work hard against opponents like Chelsea.

Before that, though, there's a midweek league game against Derby County.

Derbyshire, the team of Derby County in England, was founded in 1884 and is a founding member of the Football League. From the 80s to the first half of the 90s, Derby played only in the second division of the second tier, the second division, and were promoted to the Premier League in 1996, competing for six seasons before being relegated to League One in 2002.

For Derby, it was a must-win game.

Their results have been terrible, they have won just two of the first 12 games, and now they are bottom of the league with nine points, and perhaps for them, every game will have to be fought for, and against Wigan Athletic, who have been in inconsistent form recently, or at home, Derby will be hoping to win the three points.

So they got to know Wigan Athletic in detail, and they also learned about the simple defensive tactics that other teams use against Wigan Athletic.

They set it up the same way, and they decided that there was nothing wrong with winning the game.

"We are confident that we can win at home!" Speaking at his pre-match press conference, Derby County boss Collins smiled and said, "Our players are very motivated and they are confident to regain their legacy. ”

Sadly, Collins' confidence only lasted until the players came in.

Seeing Wigan Athletic's starting lineup, it should be said that it was the starting formation, Collins was immediately dumbfounded, "That No. 13, how can it be a striker?" Are they mistaken? ”

The other reporters who came to interview were also very surprised, they didn't know that there was such a thing as Lu Dao, this was obviously a new tactic for Wigan Athletic, or did they just want to play a trick to win? But that young man, who can't score goals at all, what's the point of him going forward?

The media doesn't understand, the fans don't understand, Collins is even more dazed, but he is definitely the opponent's head is dizzy immediately, the thirteenth will not attack, so what else does the team need to worry about, his team is equal to eleven to ten at the beginning, and it would be better if the opponent had one less person.

Victory is more secure!
