Two hundred and twenty-four is a good abacus
Craven Farm has stood in Fulham for more than 100 years, and the River Thames flows quietly beside her.
In addition to the fact that the stadium facilities meet the requirements of the Champions League, the main reason for choosing Craven is that it is very close to the Chelsea fan gathering area, which is convenient for fans to come to the stadium to cheer for the Blues!
Being able to accommodate 25,000 fans is destined to make Blues fans full of regrets, the previous 42,000 seats were disappointed by fans, and now they have almost halved all of a sudden, and tickets have become even more difficult to obtain, but fortunately, fans understand and know that the new Stamford Bridge will be back in the hands of fans next season, more than 60,000 seats, will definitely make Blues fans super happy!
On the way, Lynn also saw the blue flow of people flowing towards the stadium by the river from outside the car, and also sighed in his heart for the persistence of Premier League fans.
Even though the economy is sluggish, it still can't stop the enthusiasm of the fans.
After entering the stadium, Lynn was still not at ease, and went to the side of the stadium to check the state of the stadium, which was still more than an hour before the start of the game, but most of the seats in the stadium were already crowded with blue fans, although they experienced the Shijie Cup, but the enthusiasm that had been held back for a summer was also perfectly released today.
Fans who have already entered the stadium have begun to celebrate the start of the new season with the Chelsea anthem being organised by fan groups, which will be Chelsea's first home stadium.
The fans are certainly happy, and since the departure of the old Bates, Chelsea have gone from strength to strength, narrowly missing the league title last season, and the new owner's reckless investment has given fans a glimpse of how strong Chelsea are in the future.
Although there are no championship trophies yet to enter the Hall of Honor. However, the fans were convinced that Chelsea would have it. Not to mention the league championship that has been going on for almost 50 years, even the Champions League championship has been taken out by many fans.
They all know what Lynn teased reporters last week. Even if what Lynn said is very unreliable, it also shows that he is already paying attention to the two championships, although he does not say anything about the League Cup and the FA Cup, which means that Lynn does not look down on these two awards at all, and some fans are a little difficult to let go, but if there is a more haode choice, everyone will not care.
Of course. The premise is that Lynn can bring enough accolades to the fans.
If you win the league championship and then win the Champions League, many fans dare not imagine how happy they will become, and maybe at that time, Chelsea's glory will really come.
In the past, the Blues' poverty and current wealth were reflected in the ambivalence of the fans, but some of the club's actions still made the fans straighten their chests and sing their hearts more loudly
After a crisp whistle, the game begins
Manchester United's tactics today were very different from usual. In the past, Manchester United's tactics were to control the midfield, advance layer by layer, and play completely jishuliu.
And today it seems to be a little different, if it weren't for the fact that it was Manchester United on the pitch. It's hard to believe that this is the Red Devils, who have dominated the Premier League for many years, looking more like a team in League One, quickly passing through midfield. Take every opportunity to get the ball straight into the box and leave Ruud van Nistelrooy and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to fight with Chelsea's defenders.
In defense. Starting from the midfield, he pressed fiercely and ran at all costs. does not hesitate to foul, and the sense of beauty is gone.
Neither Ruud van Nistelrooy nor Ole Gunnar Solskjaer are masters of scramble, but they are definitely examples of opportunists, especially Ruud van Nistelrooy, the king of the small penalty area.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer seems to be sacrificing some of his characteristics, willing to be a green leaf, and he is not strong, he repeatedly collides with Terry, Gallas, etc., his mind is flexible, and the impact is even more powerful, which has disturbed the Chelsea defence every time.
Lynn could see that Ferguson's calculations were very good, and he wanted to force Chelsea to give up his dominant style of play and fight brute force with his Manchester United.
Fortunately, Lynn's team tactics are not constant, and he has put the same amount of thought into preparing for this game.
Ferguson was frowning after 10 minutes, Chelsea's two wings were fast, Jishu was good, and he was able to easily dodge United's Liliang trap with the help of other team-mates, and Chelsea's routine was not very complicated compared to United's simple attacking style.
However, the damage caused made Manchester United gradually a little overwhelmed, which in turn suppressed the release of Manchester United's attacking energy.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has worked very hard in front of him, but Terry has been more of a general under the baptism of the Shijie Cup and Desailly's words and deeds, even if Desailly did not start, he and his partner Gallas still let Manchester United return again and again.
"Edwin! Control! Range! Lynn continued to add to the demand, asking Van der Sar to expand his range of movement, and the goalkeeper has more control in this situation than the opposing striker who relies on bounces and headers.
According to commentator Mortensen, Lynn was a bit bold in the ranking and even started Alonso, who is also a newcomer.
However, no one expected that this young Spaniard was not stage frightened at all, he was very calm in defense, accurate in positioning, and more importantly, Lynn directly gave him greater authority, that is, to control the direction of football, and even directly control the rhythm of Chelsea's game.
Aside from being a little rusty and uncomfortable in the first few minutes, the next command will make those who have been skeptical have to admit that this damn Lynn seems to have made another great deal and made a lot of money!
"Stomped on shit! Luck can't be stopped! Someone complained sourly.
Lynn was triumphant, he could see that Ferguson wanted to win by surprise this time, but he didn't want to fall into Chelsea's trap, and it is estimated that the old man did not know how annoyed he was at this time.
Compared to last season, Lynn's demands on the team are also constantly changing, he has tried his best to play down the constraints of his position, he has become more tactical and flexible, creating chances has become the core of the tactics, and everyone can be the key to the outcome of the game, so that the defense side will be more difficult against Chelsea.
In the past, all shijie football is about discipline, each player has their own clear tasks and activity areas, everything is arranged before the game, and the player's task is to perfectly implement the manager's tactical arrangement, give full play to their own strength, and do their own work.
This is not the case at Chelsea today, where Lynn is asking for more freedom for the players to play, and on the basis of the team's big tactical framework, every player can play freely, either in attack or in defence.
Unless the core of the special tactics is concerned, Lynn will set some rules and regulations, and forcefully require the players to carry out his requirements, but will not interfere too much with the players' autonomy in playing.
Lynn believes that this is the general trend of football development, and the principle of everything is to encourage players to reach their best potential!
In the 22nd minute, Manchester United's hypocrisy was torn apart by Zola's goal.
Palacio received a clever pass from Frank Lampard on the flank, broke through the United defence in one fell swoop, and the ball was beautifully bowled, but Anelka did not go directly to Ferdinand, but skillfully avoided the trajectory of the football and deceived the Manchester United defenders who had been staring at him.
While the Manchester United players were looking for football, Zola, who had been roaming around the perimeter, suddenly entered the penalty area.
With his skillful jishu and rich experience, he dodged Neville's blockade, suddenly cast cold arrows, and sealed his throat with a sword!
Craven Stadium immediately boiled over, and more than 20,000 fans made a noise that was no less than Stamford Bridge!
"Ferguson got the wrong idea today and now he's paying for his mistakes" Mortensen was equally aware of United's tactical failures.
Old and dead is a thief, Ferguson is an absolute thief, he calculates Chelsea, if it weren't for Lynn who also made major changes for Manchester United, then it may be Manchester United who are cheering now.
Now that the game is played, Ferguson should also realize that he made a mistake and maybe it will change, Lynn is very sure of this. (To be continued......)
