Chapter 75: Those who know the times are handsome
On November 24, in the fifth round of the Champions League group stage, Chelsea hosted Paris Saint-Germain. In his last appearance against Paris, Wayne Rooney made his first appearance for Chelsea and scored a hat-trick to establish himself as the absolute mainstay.
This time against Paris, Rooney played bravely again, as if he had played doping! Not...... In fact, he did use stimulants, but this stimulant came from the next 30 years, and it was pure Chinese herbal medicine, non-toxic and pollution-free......
In the end, Chelsea swept 5 goals at home again after sending 5 goals away from Paris! Wayne Rooney scored another hat-trick, Kaka and Joe Cole scored a goal each, and when the 90 minutes were over, Paris Saint-Germain manager Harry Hodzic looked ...... It's like a black man. In the two games against Chelsea, his side scored 0 goals and conceded 10 goals, and at Stamford Bridge, Mr Hodjic was eager to find a crack in the ground!
The 04-05 UEFA Champions League season has ended 5 rounds of group stage, and there is one award that has almost been locked - the Champions League Golden Boot! After 5 games, Rooney scored two hat-tricks and scored a staggering 9 goals! You must know that last season's Champions League Golden Boot Morientes finally reached the final, and only scored 9 goals.
On the Champions League scorer list, the second place is still a player from Chelsea, not a striker, but a midfielder - Kaka! In five games, he scored a brace and scored five goals; The third was Ronaldo, an alien from Real Madrid, who scored four goals, followed by AC Milan's Shevchenko, Arsenal's Thierry Henry, Barcelona's Samuel Eto'o, Manchester United's Ruud van Nistelrooy and others, all with three goals.
Looking at the entire scorer list, within the top 20, only Kaka is a midfielder, and the others are all leading strikers of European teams. And in the assist list, Kaka is even more dominant, with 5 assists in 5 games, which stunned the world even more!
In the 5 games of the Champions League, Kaka's average performance of 1 goal and 1 assist per game is undoubtedly the brightest star so far. The current Ancelotti, every time he sees the Champions League list, his old face turns blue with anger, and he can't figure out how Berlukosny could sell a young player with unlimited potential like Kaka.
However, Portuguese Rui Costa has been in the thick of AC Milan and is very pleased with Kaka's departure. In the Champions League, he has already put up an excellent performance of 1 goal and 3 assists, and has become the team's main force. He knew that if Kaka didn't leave, he would only sit on the cold bench.
On 27 November, Chelsea had a Zuihou game in November, away to Charlton Athletic. In the face of the weak team, Qiao Wan was a substitute at the Valley Stadium and easily won with a score of 4:0.
It is worth mentioning that in this game, Chelsea won two penalties for the first time this season! It's a pity that Cech missed the chance to score a brace and kicked a penalty straight away. Thankfully, Finnish striker Forssell was outstanding, scoring one goal and providing one assist to give Chelsea an easy November.
The title of Manager of the Month for November has finally returned to Chelsea boss Jovan. In four league games this month, Qiao Wanxian's team once again showed terrifying attacking ability, and did not reduce the team's goals in the slightest because of Owen's serious injury. Especially against Everton, led by David Moyes, the best coach of the month last month, 3-0 was not a big score for Chelsea, but it made all the "cannon fodder" addicted.
And Kaka, who has been named the best player for 3 consecutive months, has not performed badly this month, scoring 3 goals and 3 assists in 4 games, but the best player of the month is not this handsome guy, but England's wing genius Joe Cole!
As a player with an English hukou book, Joe Cole has been favoured by the media, and many have now compared him to England's greatest winger, Stanley Matthews. Throughout November, he came up with 2 goals and 6 assists, and he was elected the best player of the month!
Last season, Italian coach Claudio Ranieri didn't know how to use Joe Cole, and in the midfield position, Ranieri clearly trusted Frank Lampard more. After Joovan took charge of Chelsea this season, he directly pushed Joe Cole to the winger position, allowing him to finally find a sky of his own in the Chelsea team.
Speaking to the Player of the Month award, Joe Cole said: "I just want to thank one person, he's young, two years younger than me, but ...... He's so talented, he's the greatest coach I've ever seen! I don't want to call him by his first name, but it seems to me that calling him 'Chief' is what I want to do all my life......"
England manager Christian Eriksson also lamented: "Joe Cole looks much more mature than before, and in a wide position, he has shown a very different but equally talented ability from David Beckham. In this regard, I have to thank Joe Cannon for his contribution, Joe Cole's appearance has solved the problems of England on the left wing for the next 10 years! ”
Although Joe Cole is at Chelsea, he appears more on the right side, but Beckham is the best choice on the right side of the England national team, and Joe Cole can only return to the left position.
In December, in the early morning of the 1st, London ushered in the first snow of this winter. It was still a cool climate in autumn, but it seemed to cool down in an instant.
It was in this snowflake-filled, somewhat romantic atmosphere that one of the semi-finals of this season's League Cup was played at Fulham's Craven Farm Stadium.
Fulham vs Chelsea!
Fulham's manager Coleman is only 34 years old this year, making him the second-youngest manager in the Premier League after Joe Wanxian. In the 13th round of the Premier League, Fulham hosted Chelsea, and in that game, Coleman fielded the most attacking lineup, and was still unable to fight back against Chelsea's semi-main and semi-substitute lineup, and finally lost 4-1.
After learning through the Times that Qiao Wanxian would be the main force in this game, Coleman was a little unhappy. Fulham also struggled in the relegation zone last season, relying on Zuihou's strong performance to successfully land; Fulham are now 15th in the table, just two points clear of the relegation zone, and in three days' time, Fulham will travel to Norwich, who are second in the league.
They are also weak teams, and the two teams will definitely fight hard in that game, striving for three points to relegation.
After a few days of thinking and figuring out the momentum of Chelsea's stormy attack over the past few months, Coleman finally made a painful decision: keep the league and abandon the cup!
Those who know the times are Junjie!
Fulham don't have the strength to compete for honours at the moment, and keeping a place in the Premier League is the most important thing. In particular, reaching the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup is already a breakthrough in itself, and there is no need to fight against a team like Chelsea.
So in this game, Coleman hid most of the team's main players, and most of the players were young players and substitutes who rarely had the opportunity to perform, intending to save their strength to face Norwich in the league.
And Qiao Wanxian is also very prescient, since becoming the head coach, for the first time, he did not use Shengyuan No. 1 in a game, and let the players play on the field.
The attacking mentality instilled by Joovan for months has created an atmosphere within the Chelsea squad that is "artillery attack"! Not only to attack, but also to give the opponent a chilling effect. In particular, the 11 people on the field, except for Ramos, who did not play with a slight calf strain, are all main players, and they implement this offensive idea very resolutely.
Fulham's manager Coleman gave up his resistance, but the players on the field wanted to prove themselves through this game, they had no intention of winning, but hoped that through such a game, they could prove their quality, such as breaking the ball from Kaka's feet, intercepting Frank Lampard's pass, completing a dribble, making a good pass, and even ...... Complete a shot.
The Chelsea players on the pitch are very professional, they don't care if you are a child substitute or not, they have only one responsibility - to score!
In the 16th minute of the first half, the long-awaited goal of Chelsea fans finally arrived, when Joe Cole took a free-kick near the right flank, which was headed wide by Cannavaro in front of him and deftly pushed by Wayne Rooney in the back.
There wasn't much celebration from the Chelsea players, there wasn't much chagrin from the Fulham players, and even Coleman was calm on the sidelines, as if the goal was ...... It's not a goal, it's a touchline ball......
Seeing that Fulham looked numb from the fans to the players to the coach, Qiao Wanxian felt a little uncomfortable, returned to the coach's seat with a calm face, and sat down sullenly.
Boas was very strange and asked in a low voice, "Wan Xian, what's wrong with you?" ”
Qiao Wanxian shook his head and sighed: "I finally know that Dugu Daxia Weishenme has returned to the mountains and forests......"
"Huh?"
Qiao Wanxian glared at Boas, and said helplessly: "Boas, you say...... Am I too inhumane? ”
"Huh?"
Qiao Wanxian glared at him again, and sighed: "It is said that high places are not cold, but why do I think high places are not cold enough?" ”
"Huh?"
Qiao Wan was impatient, and snorted coldly: "Are you dumb, can't speak?" ”
"Wan Xian, what the hell are you talking about?" Boas looked at Qiao Wanxian in a daze.
Qiao Wanxian looked around the Craven Farm stadium with his eyes, blinked and said pitifully: "Look at Coleman, look at the players and fans of Fulham, how do I feel, all of them are like puppets, and they have no ability to resist at all?" Passion, passion! ”
Boas finally understood, it turned out that Joe's cannon was being loaded with ...... His throat moved, but he didn't get a word out.
3:0 in the long half, 2:0 in the second half, the whole game, Chelsea won 5:0, and the atmosphere of the whole game was a little depressing.
