Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Away Battle of the Blues

After the press conference, Benjamin met the three girls again.

"Keep you waiting, those reporters have too many questions.

Let's go, I've booked a restaurant, let's go eat first. ”

"Don't worry, Leona has something to say to you."

Benjamin stopped and looked at the girl with a little confusion.

Leona turned her head to look at the two best friends behind her, and Luisa gave the girl a cheering look.

"Ben, can I be your own fan in the future?"

"What? When ......"

Benjamin chewed on Leona's words before coming to his senses.

recalled the bits and pieces since the two met, although they didn't meet much, they all remembered deeply.

On weekdays, I also chat through my mobile phone, and we have experienced the process from acquaintance to acquaintance to mutual affection.

Looking at the girl with slightly flushed cheeks, Benjamin replied with a smile:

"I do."

Seeing the excitement is not a big deal Luisa and Georgia coaxed on the side, "Great! Kiss one! ”

……

The afternoon sun was warm and warm, and the Tottenham players, who had just won Bayern Munich yesterday, were in a relaxed mood to warm up before training.

"I think you're all happy, you're pretty happy with your performance in yesterday's game, aren't you?"

Benjamin rushed to the post-match press conference yesterday and didn't have time to say more in the dressing room.

"The opponent was sent off in the first half, and then, how did you perform?"

After a glance, several players lowered their heads.

"We played 11 to 10, we had a numerical advantage, but we were also equalized by a goal from the other side.

To be honest, I'm not happy with your performance!

Starting with the weekend's game against Everton, we have three Premier League games in six days.

In addition to players who are not in good shape who will be rotated, I think players who don't have the right attitude will also leave the squad. ”

The more tense and critical moments come to this, the more we can't relax.

Benjamin is right, if they all perform like yesterday, they will basically not be able to make a breakthrough in the Champions League.

Your opponent won't give you a chance to adjust.

On the last day of November, Tottenham host Everton.

Benjamin directly changed all eleven people.

Although the visitors took the lead early on with a goal from Mirallas, the Lilies fought back.

Frank Lampard's long-range strike from the touchline of the box equalised.

In the second half, Adebayo assisted Son Heung-min to achieve a comeback.

In the end, Tottenham Hotspur won 2-1 against the visiting Everton and took all three points after a full rotation.

'Yes, I know, Tottenham have been in great form this season.

But we won't be afraid of any opponent and I'm confident that we will give them their first defeat of the season at Stamford Bridge! ”

Although they were held to a 0-0 draw away by Sunderland in the last round of the league, the gap between them and Tottenham Hotspur in terms of points was stretched to four points.

But Mourinho is confident that his side can beat the defending champions.

"Four points ahead of us? No, I think so.

The league has just begun, and there are still more than 20 rounds of matches to come, so it's too early to tell.

What's more, if we beat them in the next game, the gap will be reduced to one point. ”

With just two days to go, Tottenham are back to play away to Jose Mourinho's Blues.

Chelsea, who are also unbeaten in the league, are undoubtedly the Lily's biggest rivals this season.

Therefore, Benjamin is naturally very cautious about the next opponent.

"Compared to the first phase of Mourinho, Mourinho is now more focused on technique and multi-attack.

Led by technical players such as Cesc Fabregas, Eden Hazard and Oscar, their style of play is delicate and more enjoyable.

At the offensive level, the Blues' diverse attacking approach has also paid off.

So far this season, they have scored a lot more goals than us, so how to stifle their attack in the next game is our top priority.

After Jose Mourinho's return, there were two major innovations in Chelsea's tactics, one being to drive the back, allowing Cesc Fabregas in the central midfield position to drive the attack.

This adds depth to the Blues' attacking organisation and makes it difficult for opponents to lock down their attacks.

The second is to add a sweeping type of forward midfield, Oscar and Willian have done a good job.

This is actually the same purpose and effect as our high pressing, which is to strengthen the defense and start laying down the defensive line from the front.

But I think our players should be able to take it in stride when they press it.

Their four-two-three-one is recyclable against us, and the defense on the flanks is insufficient, so in the next game we will focus on their two wings.

Physically, we dominated the game and we rotated all the way in the last game, while Chelsea played almost as a regular in the squad.

What about their injuries? ”

"There is no news that they have any main players injured, only Diego Costa is suspended due to accumulated yellow cards."

'That's good news, so Mourinho should start Drogba?'

Diego Costa has been in excellent form since the start of the season, scoring 11 goals in 11 league appearances and topping the Premier League's top scorers' charts.

'In the previous two games that Costa was injured, Remy and Drogba started once each.

Benjamin took the information from his assistant and nodded.

"Jose Mourinho is very good at being on the spot, we have to prepare as much as possible, what other cards can he play?"

……

On December 3, 2014, the 14-15 Premier League season was the highlight of the 14th round of the Premier League, and the first and second matches of the league were played at Stamford Bridge.

In terms of starters, Diego Costa, the Blues' leading scorer this season, was suspended, but Jose Mourinho opted to continue with a 4231 formation.

Didier Drogba replaced Costa as the starting centre-forward.

Behind him are the attacking midfielders of Eden Hazard, Oscar and Willian.

Cesc Fabregas and Nemanja Matic were in the middle.

Azpilicueta at left-back, Branislav Ivanovic at right-back, Gary Cahill at centre-back and goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.

MuΓ±erio has largely followed his usual squad this season, with stars such as Salah, Schurrle, Mikel and Felipe on the bench on the bench.

Tottenham Hotspur, who are visiting Stamford Bridge, are also in full swing, with Benjamin aiming to win away from home.

A well-prepared Tottenham team after the opening kick-off gave the Blues a slap!

Sadio Mane's cross from the left was headed over the top by Cahill and Harry Kane's header from the edge of the six-yard box bounced off the crossbar.

Chelsea escaped.

Four minutes later, however, Gary Cahill made another mistake and stopped the ball wide.

Kane stepped up in time to steal the ball and then slammed into the left side of the penalty area and volleyed home from a tight angle in the face of Courtois!

1 to 0!

The visitors took the lead, with a goal from Premier League star Harry Kane giving Tottenham the lead!

After conceding the goal, the home team seemed to be suddenly woken up, and all three ways came out, all the players pressed, and launched an indiscriminate bombardment of Tottenham's penalty area.

Eden Hazard has shown great quality in attack, with half of Chelsea's attacks coming from his left.

Hazard and Drogba played a delicate combination in the frontcourt, the monster knocked on his back, and Hazard broke through to the penalty area and pushed from close range!

Lowry pounces sideways to block the ball off the line!

The crisis was narrowly resolved, and Tottenham goalkeeper Lloris quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, just as he was about to kick the goal kick with a big foot, Hazard not far away suddenly stepped up, and in the panic, Lloris made a mistake and the ball was cut off by the opponent.

The Belgian quickly passed the ball to Oscar after a steal, and the Brazilian midfielder immediately crossed diagonally into the box after receiving the ball, and Drogba followed up with a right-footed stab!

Now there is nothing Lloris can do, and the ball goes into the net!

One-to-one!

In the 22nd minute, Chelsea equalised to the cheers of Stamford Bridge supporters.

The two sides are back on the same starting line again!
