Chapter 296: The Red and Blue Army's Back-to-Back

After the make-up match with Arsenal, Chelsea won 5 games and 5 wins in this season's Premier League, continuing to play an invincible role, and in the standings, with Charlton Athletic accumulating 15 points, with a goal difference advantage of 5 goals!

This is the first time this season that Chelsea have been in the Premier League's top trade position, and if nothing else, Chelsea's top spot will be untouched for the next eight months.

This is not groundless, if this sentence had been said at the beginning of last season, it would have made a big noise and become the talk of the whole England after dinner, but at this time, after more than a season of madness, no one will doubt Chelsea and Joe's cannon.

Even if Qiao Wanxian said today that he can retrieve sunspots from the sun, as the North Korean media propagandized to the people, I believe that the general public will be convinced!

In the next few games, Chelsea beat Anderlecht 5-0 at home, Charlton Athletic 4-0 away to second-placed Charlton Athletic, and beat visiting Birmingham side Aston Villa 6-4 at home.

The pattern is almost the same as last season, with Chelsea continuing to sweep their opponents in the Champions League and league with pride, and have kept a clean sheet this season had it not been for the erratic performance of the players against Aston Villa.

Almost all of England gave praise to Chelsea, but Qiao Wanxian knew that there were many problems in the team.

With the support of Shengyuan No. 1, Qiao Wanxian once had the ambition to fight against the whole world, but later he gradually found out. Shengyuan No. 1 also has many drawbacks, Shengyuan No. 1 only provides the human body with a certain period of excitement and super explosive power, this is not an invincible potion.

Makelle was black. Lack of handsomeness, weak offensive ability, poor public relations and other factors led Jovan to play the role of the driving force behind Makellele's departure, because he hoped for Gerrard's arrival, and he hoped to form an invincible team with super platinum.

Just looking at the lineup, Owen, Rooney, Zidane, Gerrard, Lampard, Joe Cole, Cannavaro, Terry...... These players are singled out. are superstars in each position, but when combined, I have to say. The effect is reluctant.

Especially in the midfield position, Qiao Wanxian once thought that with the role of No. 1, the Chelsea midfielder could dominate Shijie. That's right, there is Shengyuan No. 1. Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, Zidane, Wayne Rooney and Joe Cole can indeed be laughed at in midfield. However, once you don't use Shengyuan No. 1......

Just like the game at home to Aston Villa, Gerrard and Frank Lampard were both strong in attack and weak in defence, brave in attack and ...... in defense The waist is too soft, and there is a lack of a hard-working engineer player like Claude Makelele, who has been beaten repeatedly by the opponent, and that is Chelsea's Achilles' heel.

At this moment, Qiao Wanxian finally understood.

Weishenme's previous life is full of real Madrid superstars. Without Claude Makelele, there was no champion.

In modern football, there is a tough "waist". Indispensable!

Even if it's Barcelona or Bayern Munich of the Cosmos team, there are players who are silently dedicated to the midfield position.

However, this Chelsea team is ...... It can't be said that there is no, the 35-year-old veteran Roy who is about to retire from the game. Keane.

But Qiao Wanxian carefully created a super platinum combination of "Zidane + Shuangde", obviously, the result was not satisfactory, at least not as good as Qiao Wanxian imagined.

"I just want to make a perfect football out of the No. 1, but it looks ...... Perfection does not belong on this planet. ”

Inside the Cobham training base, Jovin sighed and had to accept this reality.

It is also from today that Qiao Wanxian's football philosophy has undergone some subtle changes.

In the previous Chelsea games, Qiao Wanxian tried to make the team play a wonderful and smooth cooperation, smooth offensive routines, and finally defeated the opponent by a big score. But gradually, his concept changed, and he no longer demanded too "perfect" things.

Tomorrow, the entire Chelsea squad will fly to Liverpool for back-to-back games against arch-rivals Liverpool.

Chelsea will travel to Anfield on 29 September for the second round of the Champions League group stage, before returning to Stamford Bridge for a Premier League round eighth round clash with Liverpool.

Two meetings with Liverpool in the space of a week have been looked forward to by countless neutral fans, and the Blues fans are also excited, but the Reds fans ...... Some couldn't laugh anymore.

"Bao Qi is the result of being killed again!"

Liverpool coach Benitez reluctantly confessed in an interview, probably because he realized that this sentence might hurt the feelings of fans, and quickly added: "Chelsea are very strong, they are the favourites to win the title, but Liverpool is not weak, and we have the ability to create some difficulties for them at home." ”

In this season's Champions League group stage, Chelsea and Liverpool, two teams from England, were placed in the same group, which caused many fans who did not know the truth to be curious and questioned.

The league of the same country avoids, this rule is fake?

But UEFA's explanation is enough to silence all doubts.

Yes, Chelsea and Liverpool are in the same group, but that doesn't affect the Champions League group stage rules, because it's ...... for Liverpool to be in the Champions League this season An accident!

In other words, Liverpool is playing with a "wild card".

In the Champions League qualifier at the start of August, Liverpool, who finished fourth in the Premier League last season, face a challenge from Bulgarian powerhouse CSKA Sofia.

Liverpool won 3:1 at home, but lost 0:2 away, and finally due to the lack of away goals, Liverpool was eliminated and entered the League Cup.

When this news appeared, all Liverpool fans were simply heartbroken, especially the new signing Makelle and others in the team, who were simply teary-eyed. Lao Tzu came to Liverpool to play in the Champions League, how did he directly enter the League Cup?

Benitez was once known as a cup master because of his outstanding achievements in the cup. As we all know, in addition to being more exciting and thrilling, the difference between a cup and a league is also very important.

This time, for example, the heavens favored Benitez again!

Just three days after Liverpool's exit, a collective gambling scandal broke out within CSKA Sofia, which even included the club's team leaders, coaches and several managers, causing a huge shock in Bulgarian domestic football.

UEFA strongly condemned the scandal, imposed heavy fines, and disqualified CSKA Sofia from participating in the Champions League this season, replacing it with Liverpool, a Premier League team that it eliminated.

In three days, the hearts of Reds fans fell from heaven to hell, and suddenly returned to heaven!

That night in the city of Liverpool, full of excited drinking fans, "You Won't Go Alone" resounded in football bars for almost the entire night.

Returning to the Champions League, Liverpool is the most special one.

Playing with a "wild card", a tradition that can only be found in tennis, was used for the first time in football. To put it bluntly, Liverpool participated in this season's Champions League, and the quota occupied by CSKA Sofia, so when the group stage was grouped, it was the Bulgarian team, not the English team, so Chelsea and Liverpool were placed in the same group, which did not violate the principle.

When asked how Benitez felt about returning to the Champions League, Benitez said something meaningful: "It's like crying in a BMW......"

When Qiao Wanxian heard this, he suddenly hahadaxiao, because this classic line was mentioned by Qiao Wanxian to Benitez during a casual chat, and he understood the meaning.

Rafael Benitez is showing bitterness, and being in the same group as Chelsea is not something to be happy about.

At the Cobham training base, assistants Villas-Boas and Blanco were guiding the players in training, while Jovin waved to Franco's rising star Francois Ribery and called him to his side.

Ribery has yet to feature in a competitive game since the nightmare game against Arsenal, and he has been in the same league as Karim Benzema and Gareth. Bell, David. Silva, like Macalambi, was sent to the reserve squad to play in the reserve team.

In three games, Ribery played 235 minutes, scored four goals and completed three assists, and the statistics are amazing.

This time, Qiao Wanxian felt the need to talk to Ribery and give him a few first-team games.

Not only should the star be cultivated, but more importantly, the national team competition is about to start again, and in any case, Ribery will be brought back to the national team, and Jowan has to hurry up and get him back to a good state.

I had to take Liverpool to train my troops...... (To be continued......)

PS: The status of the codeword is really not good, it is estimated that the number of updates in the near future will not be too much, and the adjustment is being made......
