Four hundred and eighty-seven, don't call
Reading did commit public anger, the FA just wanted to get out of the matter, players are a valuable resource of each club, or the assets of each team, and Reading's approach is to cut off people's money, which is no different from seeking money and killing people.
The FA can't sit idly by, however, the FA doesn't have a good way but to punish.
A fine of Β£80,000 for the club and a ban for up to three people.
It's a big hit.
Lynn also knew that there was only so much the FA could do, and he couldn't force Reading to change tactics.
As a newly promoted team, Reading's first priority is relegation.
Neither Premier League experience nor squad qualifications are available, and they survive by intimidating their opponents with brutal tactics.
However, Reading's approach is indeed too inferior, and it has caused a lot of harm to various teams, especially Chelsea, Cech will be reimbursed this season, and it will even affect a lifetime, if you don't teach them a lesson, you can't be honest.
Now Reading's owner, Madeiski, is a guy who made his fortune from used car magazines, and most of his wealth is concentrated in the stock market, and all Lynn has to do is do something, if nothing else, or a bad breath in his chest.
Lynn didn't plan to let Robin make a move, but through Robin's team in the United States, he attacked Madeisky in the stock market, shrinking his wealth.
These are all things that can't be put on the table, and Lynn naturally won't put much thought into it, and the main energy is to return to the arena.
In the tenth round of the league, Chelsea played Sheffield United away, and Lynn gave a must-kill order. Although they are about to travel to Camp Nou, Lynn and the team will not be easy. Manchester United are chasing too hard in the league.
In the first nine league games, United have picked up 22 points. With just one point off Chelsea, Jose Mourinho's Tottenham are third at 20 points, suggesting that this season's league battle will not be easy, so Lynn will need to grab as many points as possible.
With an away game against Barcelona in three days' time, Lynn made a big rotation of the starting line-up.
Many players who were originally speculated to be the main players were put out of the squad.
It was clearly a build-up for the next game, and even before the game, Lynn didn't do anything in training for this game.
The team's training is still for Barcelona.
But even so. Sheffield United want to win Chelsea at home, and it is indeed too difficult.
In the end, thanks to goals from Bent and Thuram, Chelsea won 2-0 at Sheffield United.
This victory was not a big deal, but Chinese fans attached great importance to this game.
Lynn was also amused for a while, the word derby is very solemn and is rarely used in general, but this time. Sheffield United's match with Chelsea was crowned a derby by the Chinese media.
The reason is very simple, Li Tie transferred to Sheffield United on a free transfer, and coincidentally, Li Tie and Sun Jihai both started today.
In the game, Sun Jihai's performance was still as steady as before, but Li Tie was not good. He didn't take advantage of Van Bommel in the slightest, with the midfield not playing as well as it should have done Chelsea's defence, and the result was a frantic assault by Ribery and Lennon on both flanks. Destroyed the Sheffield United defence.
And Li Tie was replaced shortly after the start of the second half because of his poor performance.
The Chelsea players are in good form. This is good news for Lynn.
Any manager wants to have as many in-form players as possible at his disposal.
With more players in good form, there is more room for the manager to choose. There are even more tactical applications and variations
There is one thing that cannot be avoided when you go to Barcelona to play, and that is the cynicism of the media.
No one knows how bad the relationship between Chelsea and Barcelona is.
Lynn's Chelsea are tantamount to a stumbling with Barcelona under UEFA's arrangement.
In the last round, Chelsea slaughtered Barcelona with four goals, making the super giants lose face.
There is no possibility of unraveling the bond between the two sides.
In fact, after Laporta's lightning resolution of Barcelona's internal conflicts, he waited for Chelsea to come to Camp Nou for revenge, and Barcelona had no other idea than this goal.
Rijkaard has also publicly stated that his team is back on track and that he and his players have decided to wash away the shame at Camp Nou!
Ronaldinho also apologized to fans for the first time in front of the media, saying that he would change his past mistakes and atone for his sins by beating Chelsea.
This gave Barcelona supporters a lot of confidence.
This is Camp Nou, it's their home stadium, the coach is single-minded, what else can't be done, win against Chelsea, it's better to give them a 5-0!
The local evening newspaper also openly called out Chelsea on the front page.
'The last time at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea were not convinced to win, they mainly ran into Barcelona's most vulnerable moments, taking advantage of the temporary internal contradictions, otherwise, with Barcelona's quality, it would be too difficult for Chelsea to win.
"It's different now, our Barcelona are back on track, the team is in good shape, they have the belief to win, the determination to wash away the shame! Chelsea are going to get out of Camp Nou - it's hard! β
Lynn didn't know the Spanish language, however, he had Spanish players, and it was always okay to catch them and read the newspaper to him.
"Harvey, what do you think? Does this bunch of idiots have a point? β
Alonso had some disdain on his face, pouted and said, "Who wouldn't say big things!" β
In Spain, Barcelona is the representative of the Catalan side, while Alonso is not, so there is little respect for Barcelona.
Lynn smiled and waved his hand, "However, their strength is really good, if they are fully played, we are not easy to deal with, in short, we still have to pay attention to the opponent, cheer up, don't forget, we are the champions, if we really let Barcelona play a few to zero, it will be too embarrassing." β
In response to these remarks, Lynn had no intention of responding, and his habit was not to engage in a war of words. It's about solving all the problems on the field.
However, some people can't bear it. Jump out and provoke.
Barcelona's main striker, Samuel Eto'o, is an idle master and said to the camera with a big grin. Chelsea really don't have anything remarkable, every time they use that kind of despicable means, otherwise how could they beat the great Barca?
'Maybe we have some problems, but now, everything is solved, we are in good shape, Chelsea are not worth mentioning in front of the invincible Barcelona!'
In Lynn's opinion, the brainless Eto'o won a lot of applause.
Except for Gudjohnsen, who remained silent. Most of the Barcelona players opened their mouths to say a few words to cheer themselves up.
Puyol concluded his remarks as captain: "This is the Camp Nou, our home stadium, Barcelona are aiming for the title and beating Chelsea will be our first step, last time we didn't play well away from home, but, this time. Must beat Chelsea! β
When everyone was talking, Gudjohnsen found that he was the only one left, and even the substitutes used various mediums to show their loyalty.
There was no way, he could only follow. "I want to contribute to the team in this game!"
"Their hearts are empty, and only the scared are barking everywhere! We don't learn from them. β
Lynn has given the team a gag order, and there is no need to follow the opponent to hype. It's a shame that Chelsea didn't get to where they are today. It's a real victory, defeating the opponent one by one. Only then did he go to the top again and again.
However, the next day, a Madrid newspaper published Lynn's response to the Barcelona players' speeches: 'A dog that bites never barks!' β
Many people can't understand it, but Sun Jihai knows this sentence best, and he is suddenly happy.
With his patient explanation, the Chelsea players felt the Chelsea players had a point.
The opponent was scared.
Lynn's words were very bad, and the choked Barcelona generals were speechless.
In the pre-match press conference, Lynn was still so silent, "It's just an ordinary game, in Chelsea's opinion, it's nothing special, as professionals we have to strive for the best result, nothing else." β
In this regard, Rijkaard agrees, the last time at Stamford Bridge, Lynn supported Rijkaard, and the black swan understands this, so his words are completely different from his players.
"Like Coach John, I also think it's an ordinary game, and if you give too much meaning to it, you lose the essence of the game, and the two sides are fighting for three points, and if you win, you have three points, and if you lose, you don't."
From the warm-up of the players, both Lynn and the Chelsea players could feel the ubiquitous hatred from the fans!
It's no wonder that most of the tears of Barcelona fans over the years have been stimulated by Chelsea, and Lynn himself doesn't believe it if there is no hostility.
Barcelona fans had no other means than to distract the Chelsea players with boos and name-calling from the stands.
This kind of sidelines have been seen a lot for a long time, and although it has an impact, it does not affect the Chelsea players.
However, the deafening boos were also really annoying, and Lynn frowned slightly, and turned back to the locker room without saying a word.
"The game is about to start, this is the 2006-2007 season, the UEFA Champions League group stage Group A, Spain's Barcelona home game against England Chelsea, in the last leg, Chelsea beat Barcelona 4-0 at home, the focus of this game is whether Barcelona can complete their revenge"
'Goalkeeper ValdΓ©s, defenders Zambrotta, Puyol, Marquis, midfielders Deco, Iniesta, Xavi, Ronaldinho, strikers, Samuel Eto'o, Gudjohnsen, Messi, let's talk about Chelsea"
'Almounia, Alves, Terry, Garas, Barzaretti, Alonso, Parker, Lampard, Ronaldo, Joe Cole, Anelka'
'Chelsea's squad is familiar, it seems that in last season's Champions League, it was the same starting line-up, apart from the goalkeepers'
Rijkaard was also surprised when he saw Chelsea's start.
From the very beginning of the game, Barcelona launched an onslaught at Chelsea's doors.
Nothing has changed in Barcelona's fighters, and nothing can be changed, that set has long been imprinted in the bones of the players.
After Messi's joining. Barcelona's tactics are indeed much stronger than before, and Ronaldinho has changed his ways. It also added a lot of help to the team's attack, at least much better than when they were away from home.
With his threading needle. Coupled with Messi coming back from time to time to help, Barcelona's attack is much smoother.
If Chelsea continue to play against Barcelona as they did last time, they will probably die an ugly death.
It's just that when did Lynn let the opponent get his wish.
Chelsea went straight on the counter-attack, and the focus of the defensive line was the midfield, and Lynn's command was to turn the midfield into a meat grinder for both sides.
In the stands, Barcelona fans went out of their way to cheer for the home team, and their greatest wish was to defeat the hated Chelsea team in front of them, if they could score ten or eight goals. That's how to get angry.
Anyone in their sanity knows it's wishful thinking and it can only be thought about, but beating Chelsea is not out of reach.
Ronaldinho is indeed a genius, with gorgeous footwork and incredible individual technical displays, all of which were cheered in the stands.
Lynn sat in the coach's seat, saw Ronaldinho's performance, and couldn't help but praise Ronaldinho in his heart for being indeed the existence of football elves on this planet.
But, in Lynn's eyes. Messi is the most dangerous one for Barcelona right now.
If Rijkaard had been more bold and had turned the heart of the team's attack into Messi, then Chelsea would be in real danger.
Fortunately, it is Ronaldinho, and it is much easier to deal with Ronaldinho. That is to find someone to mark close to the defense and let him dribble the ball, but not to give him the space to pass the ball calmly.
The task was given to Alves. It's easy to communicate with each other.
Just cut off Ronaldinho's direct contact with his teammates. The effect of his last pass was gone.
In the face of Barcelona's flood of attacks, Chelsea were well organised. There was no panic.
This has to do with Lynn's team-building philosophy, whether it's offensive football or defensive counter-attack, the foundation of any tactic is actually based on defense.
Therefore, in the usual training and games, Lynn has never relaxed the inculcation of the defensive philosophy of the players.
Deco and Xavi played at the same time, Lynn disagreed, the roles of the two of them are not much different, one is fine, and it is a waste to be on at the same time.
Now Deco's status is higher than Xavi's, he is responsible for passing the ball and threading the needle for the team, while Xavi mainly plays a supporting role to protect Deco from excessive interference from the opponent.
How could Rijkaard not know the harm of Xavi and Deco playing at the same time, however, he couldn't help it, Chelsea's defensive intensity was too great, and he was not sure that Deco could cope with it alone.
In the eleventh minute, Ronaldinho, after attracting enough of the defense, suddenly turned and handed the ball to Deco, who was inserting.
Deco directly kicked straight into the plug!
Football penetrated the Chelsea defence and went to the back.
Messi plugs in at high speed!
Huge cheers immediately rang out from the stands, and the sound drowned out everything!
Almunia had been on his toes, spotting Messi's movement before Deco passed, while Barzaretti was clearly trapped in a defensive position and couldn't respond in time, so he moved early.
"Nice pass! Messi -- uh"
Messi was one step behind, and the football was directly destroyed by the opponent's goalkeeper Almunia!
When did the other party come out, why didn't he pay attention, before starting, he was obviously standing in front of the door, how did he come out in the blink of an eye, he didn't have time to think about it, Messi shook his head in annoyance, turned around and retreated.
"He's not bad!" Clarke was full of praise for Almunia's brilliant performance, and in terms of defensive size and initiative, Almunia was better than Cech, which was more suitable for Chelsea's game today.
Lynn nodded naturally and Almunia's performance would give the Chelsea players a lot of confidence.
The goalkeeper is an extremely important position on the field, and the better he performs, the more confidence the players will have and the better they will play, and many times, a good goalkeeper is almost equal to half a team, which is not an exaggeration.
It has never been a Chelsea tradition to not fight back, Almunia was picked up by Parker, he did not hesitate, directly passed the ball to the side, Ronaldo took the ball in a circle, dodged Xavi's entanglement, and rushed towards the opponent's half.
Barcelona's defence was tense.
There is no doubt about Ronaldo's ability, he is simply a perfect combination of all kinds, outstanding skills, incredible speed, rich scoring means, passing and shooting skills, can solve problems alone, such a player can not be overstated.
The narrator shouted even more nervously, "Be careful! Cristiano Ronaldo! He got the football! He is charging towards the Barcelona defense and must be stopped! Don't let him get close to the goal! β
Chelsea fans are also looking at Cristiano Ronaldo!
This is Chelsea's chance to fight back and they will all be hoping that Cristiano Ronaldo can give them an exciting goal!
Cristiano Ronaldo's assault is fast!
Barcelona's defenders were equally resolute.
"Not good!"
The England commentator couldn't help but get worried.
However, Ronaldo didn't plan to be a dragon on his own at all, and the football flew out in a gap before the encirclement!
Joe Cole received a pass from Cristiano Ronaldo almost without being defended!
There's a big gap in front of him!
Joe Cole immediately bursts into the box!
Lynn also stood up and clenched his fists, who said he didn't care about winning, even if this game really had no impact on Chelsea's qualification, even at Camp Nou, Lynn wanted to win and would never admit to losing.
"Oh! Cristiano Ronaldo's pass! It's beautiful! Joe Cole! Golden opportunity! Barcelona is in danger! β
Puyol pounces straight at Joe Cole!
Joe Cole flicked his feet and dodged Puyol, however, the ball was dodged and the man was knocked down!
"Penalty!"
The English commentator shouted.
Backbite!
The referee's hand points to the penalty spot! (To be continued......)
