In the end, in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League Group G group stage on September 29, Chelsea relied on goals from Ribery, Zidane and Owen in the first half, and goals from Zidane and Frank Lampard in the second half to win all three points 5:0 away.

In the Group G rankings, Chelsea won both games with a score of 5:0 and topped the table, although Real Betis and Liverpool are tied on three points, but the Spanish team has not yet met Chelsea, so it occupies the advantage of goal difference, beating Liverpool to occupy the second place in the Group G table.

Three days later, inside Stamford Bridge, there was another fierce exchange of fire between the Blues and Reds. This time, Qiao Wanxian's team rotated significantly.

Cech, Glenn. Johnson, Terry, Vidic, Roy. Keane, Gerrard, Van der Vaart, Gareth. Bale, Torres and others all appeared.

And Benitez, because he knew Chelsea's starting list early, gritted his teeth and put out a lineup that was almost the same as the previous game, in order to take the opportunity to get points from Chelsea.

At Stamford Bridge, Benitez has no illusions of winning, but a draw would be a game that could go down in history!

In the end, the process of the game was full of ups and downs, and the result was a bit of a surprise, 2:1!

Chelsea won at home, but it was a rare narrow victory!

Especially at the junctures of the game, if it weren't for Villa's bad luck and a shot hitting the post, Liverpool would probably have upset and drawn away to Chelsea.

At the end of the 90 minutes, the more than 40,000 fans at Stamford Bridge breathed a long sigh of relief. This game was a rare shock.

Chelsea's performance is not spectacular!

Especially the young Gareth. Bel. At left-back, he has been attacking but can't attack, and his defence is dwarfed, giving Liverpool many opportunities to find flaws from here.

Fortunately, in the second half, Qiao Wanxian replaced Benzema, who used Shengyuan No. 1, and made his debut and scored a goal to overtake the score.

Although the process of the game is not very beautiful, Qiao Wanxian's mentality has changed a lot at this moment. He no longer demands too much perfection in the process, and in football, it is impossible to achieve perfection in every game. The key is to give the fans enjoyment during a long season.

What's more, after Ribery, Qiao Wanxian skillfully borrowed Shengyuan No. 1 to give Benzema a chance to show himself.

After this game. The national team is about to start training again to prepare for the European qualifiers for the Shijie Cup. Benzema's goal also blocked a lot of verbal criticism that prevented him from being selected for the national team.

But......

Three days ago, they swept Liverpool 5-0 away and won 2-1 at home three days later, and such a huge difference in the game still caused a wave of discussion in English football.

Among them is Liverpool famous Alan . Hansen's long review in The Guardian was the most brilliant and the most reprinted.

'Yes, Chelsea are a very strong team, but it is more down to the money invested by oil tycoon Abou. In comparison, the young Qiao Wanxian has experienced more than a season of sharpness. began to reveal his youthful restlessness and lack of experience. ”

"Two games, only three days apart, weishenme such a big gap? Take turns? I don't think it should be rotated! The so-called rest and tiredness, it's just a psychological problem, as a manager, when you tell the players that you can rest when you're tired, they get tired, but if you tell them, bite the bullet and win all the games, we can do it, then there's no doubt that they will want to beat themselves. ”

Although Qiao Wanxian has begun his second season in charge of Chelsea, it has to be said that he is still an out-and-out rookie in front of the century-old Premier League. If he wants to continue his success at Chelsea and continue to play the role of last season's dark horse, he will have to be more integrated into Chelsea Football and English football. You know, the football here is completely different from the football of any league on Shijie! ”

Face Alain. Hansen's questioning of the team's captain, John Brown. John Terry was the first to stand up for the manager's authority.

"We all agreed in the dressing room that the boss was right and that the proper rotation would keep the squad productive all season," Terry said. ”

Frank Lampard, who has always kept a low profile, also stood up and said: "Yes, we didn't play well at home, but at least we won, Weishenme? It's because we always follow the right line of football! ”

Rooney's attitude was a bit more radical: "Alain. Hansen? Sorry, I don't know this guy, I heard he's a defender? Hehe, fortunately, he has retired, if he still plays on the football field, I will definitely vomit blood from him! ”

As former Liverpool heroes, both Owen and Gerrard have avoided answering all questions on the subject, but once Gerrard said something serious when pressed by a reporter from the Daily Mail.

"That's right, I grew up in the Kirkby Academy, and I've always been instilled in my head about Alain. Mr. Hansen's notion, but it was only after coming to Chelsea that I realised that Chelsea can be unbeatable in all competitions, while most teams can only struggle on one or two fronts. Rotation is a must-have choice for giant teams! ”

Unlike Gerald's cautiousness, Qiao Wanxian still shows the essence of his "cannon".

"Alain. Hansen? Hehe, it seems that Liverpool should have chosen this guy when choosing the manager of the team, he seems to know more about football than Rafa? He made a lot of sense, very much and I highly recommend Alain. Mr Hansen stepped out to coach Liverpool and built this traditional powerhouse into a giant team that is stronger than Chelsea. ”

……

On October 3, the French national team trained in Paris again.

This time, Qiao Wanxian recruited a list of 23 people that was almost exactly the same as last time.

Goalkeepers: Butters, Sebastian. Frey, Ugo. Loris;

Defenders: Abidal, Zimbonda, Thuram, Sagnor, Silvestre, Boumson, Giwe, Evra;

Midfielders: Claude Makelele, Vieira, Malouda, Ribery, Zidane, Diarra, Pire, Gyuli.

Forwards: Thierry Henry, Benzema, Trezeguet, Anelka.

In contrast, this time, Jovan replaced Gallas, who was expelled last time, with a central defender from Monaco replacing Gallas, and Cisse was replaced by veteran Giuli from Barcelona because of his lack of playing opportunities at Liverpool.

Looking at the entire team, there have only been two player personnel changes!

Such a list of 23 people, there is a great suspicion of duplicate copying!

Domenech, who has always been cold to Qiao Wanxian and laughing at jokes, once again stood up "bravely" and said unashamedly: "Nonsense, this is simply nonsense!" Joe Cannon puts all his energy into the governance of Chelsea, which is a completely irresponsible attitude towards French football! This is an insult to French football, this is an insult to the French nationals! ”

There is no need for Qiao Wanxian to express his position, and countless French fans have stood up to fight back.

"What are you? Can you represent French football, can you represent French nationals? Self-righteous stuff! ”

"Is this an insult to the French nationals? Hehe, why don't I think so? Mr. Domenech, I'm afraid this is an insult to you alone, right? ”

"It's always been a success, a prince, a loser, Domenech, you're still calling after class, don't you want to make a face? Okay, I'll see after the game! ”

……

This national team training camp is a national team training camp for Zuihou before the Shijie Cup, and it is also a two-round competition for Zuihou in the European group stage.

After this training camp, the eight teams that will directly enter the main match of the Shijie Cup will be produced, and for France, which is still ranked second in the group at this stage, this is the only chance to avoid entering the play-offs and directly enter the Shijie Cup!

Although for Qiao Wanxian, the play-offs are just a formality, and there is no suspense in entering the Shijie Cup main match. But the fans can't stand it, they don't want to put up with that kind of exhausting and worrying scene.

It's like a penalty shootout.

The fans on both sides know that penalty shootouts are more enjoyable and exciting, but no one wants to bear them.

Too much pressure!

Fortunately for France, the path to the top of the group is simple, and they will win the game against the group winners Switzerland away on October 8th!

As for the Zuihou game, the home game against Cyprus on October 12, I am afraid everyone understands that this ball is a goal performance by the French team at the Stade de France for the majority of fans.

Cyprus?

I'm afraid I don't even deserve to lift shoes in front of France.

From the first day of the national team's training camp, the focus of the whole country was on the crucial battle on October 8.

Away to Switzerland! (To be continued......)
