Four hundred and forty-two, the opponent of revenge
When Zuihou plays away from home in the league, the public will find out that many of Chelsea's main players are not in the squad.
This has naturally attracted a lot of attention, and everyone understands that Chelsea are saving their strength for the upcoming Champions League final.
Chelsea's draw away at Newcastle United in Zuihou completed the club's entire season in England.
As the curtain fell on the Premier League, Chelsea naturally gained the most money, taking the league title and finishing 12 points ahead of second-placed Arsenal, which is almost the best record in the Premier League since '92.
Ninety-five points, which is a height that is difficult for others to achieve, and it is also a degree that Chelsea has achieved that is difficult for them to surpass.
Arsenal finished runners-up, Manchester United third, Jose Mourinho's Tottenham fourth, David Moyes didn't let Everton go forward, only fifth, and Benitez was a complete failure, sixth in the league, almost meaningless, beaten out of the Champions League semi-finals by Chelsea, he can only hope to go for more results next season.
Jose Mourinho's results at Tottenham are not bad, at least they have qualified for the Champions League, which is a good start for Abou, and Mourinho's performance at Tottenham is considered to be firmly established. Although they have not completely broken the old pattern, Tottenham have actually achieved impressive results.
To reach the final of the Champions League for three consecutive seasons is also a good result in the history of Champions League football, and Chelsea are in the limelight.
'Thank you Chelsea! We are so proud of you! ”
"The Blues are doing well!!"
"The flag of English football! Advance! ”
Perhaps it was Zuihou who played away from home and Lynn's Chelsea did not perform too well and were held to a draw by their opponents. After the game, though. Lynn pretty much used the opportunity to give a summary of the team's season.
'Chelsea are still on our way and we haven't lived up to the expectations of our fans. Fortunately, we have one more chance to redeem it."
'In the near future, the Blues can proudly tell their supporters that we will never stop moving forward'
In fact, Lynn already has a new plan for the future in his mind, and if he wants Chelsea to remain competitive, he must be renewed, and Chelsea are about to reach the top of this team, and if he wins the Champions League this season, then Lynn can expect it. This Chelsea team has reached the point where it has to be rebuilt.
The players are very realistic, maybe they can get together and fight for glory before they succeed, but now when Chelsea can't offer more, that's when they leave with glory.
All the while, Lynn has been maintaining the consistency of the team's lineup. However, it will take enough of the foundation to be the first to disappear and that will be the beginning of Chelsea's rebuild. Every dynasty goes through this process and Chelsea are not immune to it.
It's not that Lynn wants to kick these veterans away, but many people need a new platform to re-attack the highest honors.
Lynn had a lot on her mind. However, he could not tolerate the gradual decay of the team without realizing it. Enter into reincarnation in the laws of nature.
Lynn, then, has to pay more to help Chelsea keep moving forward if they don't want Chelsea to go on a trajectory that everyone is aware of.
No one knows that Lynn is not only the manager of Chelsea, but also the actual owner of Chelsea, a local club.
Therefore. Lynn can do without that tough indecision in many ways, and he can create more space for Chelsea in many ways.
Title, in Lynn's opinion, is the medicine for Chelsea.
As soon as the league ended, Lynn fully felt the commotion of the players, which was expected by Lynn, and the teams would not tolerate Chelsea's long-term dominance of the Champions League, and the easiest and most effective way for them to do so was to wave money to lure out of motivation for Chelsea players, like Ronaldo last season.
These people may offer Chelsea a price that is almost impossible to refuse, but, in Lynn's view, it is not the key, the key is whether Chelsea can use this opportunity to consolidate their status as a giant.
Don't look at Chelsea's rapid development in recent seasons, and even have Champions League titles, Toyota Cup, and Super Cup, but compared with those old giants, Chelsea still seems a little immature
After a league game in Zuihou, all Chelsea's focus was on the Champions League and all eyes were on Istanbul.
Fang Haojie,In so many days of experience, I also discovered the advancement of Chelsea in many aspects,He made his own web forum,Keep expressing his detailed views on Chelsea,Naturally, it has also attracted the attention of countless Chinese fans。
'In the subtleties, I can sense that Chelsea Weishenme will be the new shili to be noticed in the short term, they are ahead of Shijie in many ways, and even things that I didn't even think about when I imagined, Chelsea are already doing'
Maybe some of Fang Haojie's views are not enough to cause too much thinking,But,People like Fang Haojie have led a large number of people to discover a fact,That is, Chelsea is becoming a giant。
Chelsea and Milan arrived in Istanbul on almost the same day.
Carlo Ancelotti spearheaded the press conference on behalf of Milan, which is a hard and fast rule for UEFA.
Carlo Ancelotti wasn't too out of line, introducing his team at his press conference, but he was adamant about avoiding questions from reporters about the starting line-up.
As for Lynn, Carlo Ancelotti is definitely familiar enough, the two sides have played each other before, that is, in the Champions League final.
'I don't think Chelsea are the future of football, they are really strong, but in my opinion Chelsea still haven't developed their own style and identity, which is against the laws of football, they have been in the last few seasons. has made a lot of enviable achievements, however. I don't agree with some of Chelsea's approach. Some of what they are doing is actually hurting the development of football, and this season, that damage has done a lot of bad things."
Carlo Ancelotti's remarks made Lynn feel the cunning of this guy, and he expressed a lot of points, the core of which was that Chelsea were harming the interests of European football, and that the idea of being too realistic had downplayed the commercialisation of football.
Lynn absolutely believes that Carlo Ancelotti was influenced by the Milan club's top management to expand the space for Milan to survive from the perspective of interests.
To put it bluntly, Carlo Ancelotti is reminding UEFA that Chelsea are the epitome of conservative and utilitarian football, which European football hates. The real initiator of the unenterprising spirit was Chelsea.
For European football to continue to attract the attention of fans, it is in UEFA's interest not to indulge clubs like Chelsea to continue to run rampant, to attack Chelsea and make Milan champions.
Sinister intentions!
"I think Carlo Ancelotti got one thing wrong, when Milan played Chelsea for the first time, it was AC Milan who really hindered Ancelotti's football philosophy, they used Italian defensive football to delay Chelsea's championship time by a full season, I don't understand, Ancelotti would say that about Chelsea's tactics. Could it be that I remember the game wrongly? ”
Lynn's words were enough to spark a meeting with many people, who were desperate in the Champions League final, and relied on Zuihou's penalty shootout to make Chelsea's Champions League journey only hateful.
Now you Ancelotti say this. Did you wash yourself off first?
Lynn's point of view is undoubtedly something that Ancelotti can't avoid.
Skipping the topic, Carlo Ancelotti seemed to have generously revealed their starting line-up to the media, which in Lynn's opinion. It's all about shouting.
Even if Carlo Ancelotti doesn't say it, Chelsea can guess what Milan's squad will be. With the current trend of football development, it is unrealistic for Milan to come up with a squad that will surprise Lynn.
Goalkeeper Dida. It's almost an unquestionable choice, and Abbiati hasn't been given enough recognition.
On the back line, Milan actually doesn't have many options, Cafu, Maldini, Nesta, Stam, this combination of the back line is already a lineup that Milan has no way to strengthen.
The same is true in the midfield, with Kaka, Gattuso, Pirlo and Seedorf also a combination that Ancelotti can no longer strengthen, and the best option Milan can come up with is this.
Up front, Shepchenko and Crespo, who returned on loan from Tottenham, are also a combination that Ancelotti has to use without any conditions.
It's fair to say that even if Carlo Ancelotti hadn't been announced in advance, their starting line-up had no way to create a surprising freshness.
Lynn didn't want to quarrel with Carlo Ancelotti and he didn't let Chelsea out of the line-up.
The last time he played AC Milan was one of the few times Lynn had a sore spot to remember.
This time, Lynn has been instilling a concept in his players, and it's the perfect opportunity for revenge, a godsend.
'God forbid Milan to reach the final and we can prove ourselves again, otherwise even if we win more trophies at Chelsea, we won't be able to let go of that painful experience.' ’
Lynn's words were echoed by the vast majority of Chelsea players.
Chelsea's announcement of the starting line-up also gave Carlo Ancelotti a bit of a sense of confusion, and goalkeeper Petr Cech, which is understandable, is not news that Cudicini is losing his solid place at Chelsea.
On the back line, Panucci, Terry, Lucio, Gallas, this combination is not quite the same as the answer given by Milan's intelligence department, Milan's intelligence is more inclined to Sun Jihai or Zauri, and Lynn's arrangement is very unexpected.
The midfield side was even more unsettling for Carlo Ancelotti, with Alonso and Emerson teaming up as he expected, but the remaining three spots were incomprehensible to Ancelotti.
Cristiano Ronaldo starts, which can be considered normal, Forlan and Frank Lampard start at the same time, which makes Milan a little confused, which is not in line with the results of Milan's research.
If Chelsea were used to it, Palacio would have gone wide, Cristiano Ronaldo on the other side, Frank Lampard in Central Canada and Nicolas Anelka up front.
However, Chelsea's starting line-up now completely toppled Ancelotti's preparation.
'So the suspicion array? Or is there nothing to be done? This left Ancelotti very entangled.
The media also dared to baffle the two managers to release the squad in advance, which was the only one in the history of the Champions League final.
According to tradition. Both sides will leave their hole cards in Zuihou to reveal, and this time it is different. Both managers don't seem to care
The pre-match clash between the two managers was a bit of a no-brainer, which is not a bad thing for UEFA.
Chelsea and Milan are a clash between the new giants and the old Shili. The two managers have strong personalities and have been facing each other since before the game, which is very much in line with UEFA's requirements.
They even want Lynn and Carlo Ancelotti to go head-to-head so that the Champions League final can attract more attention.
Neither Lynn nor Carlo Ancelotti are actually managers who are good at using mental tactics, but UEFA's push has made the world think that these two guys seem to be too many.
Fang Haojie has been following Chelsea's large army in action these days,He will post news to the forum he manages every day。
The one who was most satisfying to him was Lynn.
Among his missions was to get several signatures from Lynn.
The result was beyond his expectations, and Lynn not only met his requirements, but even exceeded his expectations.
Upon arrival in Istanbul. Lynn also invited Fang Haojie to a restaurant to eat alone,During the whole meal,Lynn expressed his respect for Chinese fans many times,This surprised Fang Haojie,If it weren't for Sun Jihai who has been accompanying him,Fang Haojie would even wonder if the Lynn in front of him is really the head coach of Chelsea。
Before the start of the game,Fang Haojie and his equally lucky people were arranged directly into the stadium by the staff of Chelsea Club。
The position is just behind the Chelsea dugout.
Surrounded by die-hard Chelsea fans, Comrade Xiao Fang fully felt the great confidence of the Blues fans in their team's victory.
"Hey! Lynn, you promised us. No problem, right? ”
Just when Chelsea entered the field,A big fat man next to Fang Haojie suddenly shouted at Lynn in the coach's seat
Fang Haojie was a little puzzled, could it be that Lynn had any private contact with Chelsea fans?
Looking at Lynn's outstretched thumb, it seems to be true.
"Did you coach John talk about today's game?" Fang Haojie couldn't help but ask the big fat man.
"Nope! But. He understands what we want. ”
"Welcome to Istanbul, today we are welcoming you Chelsea FC from England and AC Milan from Italy. Chelsea won the Champions League last season, while Milan won last season. Interestingly, in the final of last season. The two sides are Milan and Chelsea."
'The game started when Chelsea kicked off first, Frank Lampard got the ball, he didn't rush it, he was very careful to get the ball back to the back.
"Oh, that's beautiful! Alonso's pass was unexpected! ”
It was only the first minute of the game, and before the Milan players were fully in the game, Chelsea took advantage of the kick-off to launch a surprise attack.
In the first tens of seconds, there was nothing special, but after Alonso got the ball, he suddenly passed the ball directly to Milan's penalty area.
Anelka's header will be on the spot, and Forlan will follow up and win the game is a furious shot!
"Diego--Fran! Shot! Oh! OMG! The ball is in! The ball is in! 1 to 0! Chelsea took the lead less than a minute into the game! Forlan's long-range shot from outside the box upset the balance"
When Fran scored, Lynn hadn't even been seated in his seat when he was pleasantly surprised by the sudden goal!
Milan fans were also a little overwhelmed by the goal, completely stunned by the unexpected goal.
The stadium erupted in cheers from 30,000 Chelsea fans.
'I can't believe that Chelsea can score in such a short period of time, and Chelsea have been claiming revenge after watching this game, but no one thought they could get it on the first attack after the opening kick-off.'
Carlo Ancelotti hadn't even been able to sit in his seat before he was stunned by the goal.
Milan's tactics were simple, which was to stabilize the first fifteen minutes and then compete for midfield, taking advantage of what Ancelotti believed was the advantage in midfield and gradually establishing an attacking stance against Chelsea.
Unlike the last meeting, Milan now feel that they are far stronger than Chelsea, especially newcomer Kaka, whose performance has given Milan plenty of confidence.
The opponent scored in the first minute, which made Milan's calculations mess up.
In fact, not only Ancelotti was also messed up, but Lynn was also a little confused by this goal.
In the Chelsea strategy, Lynn's intention was to launch a wave of aggressive attacks in the first few minutes, then stabilize his position and start fighting Milan from midfield.
Lynn agrees that Milan have a strong midfield and that Chelsea will have to take control of the midfield if they want to beat Milan.
However, scoring so early was completely beyond Lynn's expectations!
Forlan's goal was a surprise, and of course, in line with Forlan's characteristics, his attacking ability near the penalty line was absolutely superb.
In London, countless Chelsea fans are still asking for drinks from the bartender, waiting for a moment to cheer on their team.
Seeing that the score was suddenly rewritten, many people were dumbfounded, and after coming over for a long time, they burst into cheers.
'Nobody can stop Chelsea, nobody!'
"Champion! We have to be champions! (To be continued......)
