"Frank, I have a question, just a question.

As the captain said, we can't lose to Tottenham in London.

If you really have to lose to Arsenal later. Is it a normal result?

The captain won't be angry, will he? ”

After the team's mobilization speech, Leon warmed up on the training ground and asked Frank Lampard curiously.

Lampard raised his eyebrows at the "bold" question of Leon, then smiled and patted Leon on the back of the head.

"Hey, hey... You tell me? Why don't I ask John for you? ”

As soon as Leon heard Lampard's tone, he instantly understood, and shook his head again and again!

Well, he kind of got it, maybe Terry was really sincere when he scolded Tottenham.

But that slogan was indeed just a pre-war mobilization phrase.

Today Terry can say that he can't lose to Tottenham Hotspur, and next time he can naturally say that he can't lose to Arsenal if he loses to anyone.

In London, the derby is nowhere near as much as the current Manchester derby and Merseyside derby, which have attracted the attention of the media and fans.

But it still won the name of a derby.

Don't talk about playing Arsenal in the back. Even if you play Crystal Palace, then the whole Chelsea team has to stand up!

Correspondingly. Crystal Palace and Fulham will also try to score points against the three London powerhouses when they meet Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham.

It was in the last round that the Fulham team had a flurry that annoyed Leon.

Anyway, he didn't work out in the end, and the kid was by Li Ang in the half.

The Crystal Palace players would not have done such a stupid thing if they had watched the last round of Chelsea and Fulham.

On 24 September, Jose Mourinho went away with a rotating squad to challenge Swindon FC.

This is the third round of the EFL Cup, and the opponent Swindon Town is just a League One team.

That's why the number of Chelsea's main players who started today was small.

However, after learning the lesson of almost overturning in the Champions League against Basel, Mourinho still put Leon in the starting line-up to press.

Playing this kind of team in the lower leagues, Mourinho did not choose to start Van Ginkel, but Ake and Kalas were given the opportunity to start.

Chelsea's tactics were not delicate, but rather a little rough.

Swindon originally wanted to play with two wings flying together, infiltrating the side or something.

As a result, Chelsea's side was Leon and Oscar looking for an opportunity to pass the ball behind Swindon, and Lukaku ran a good run today.

Anyway, Romelu Lukaku is the main Indian striker for Chelsea today.

He likes to rush in the middle or to follow him, and the coach has given Lukaku the most tactical freedom on the field.

Two passes and one shot, this is also the last stat Lukaku handed over.

His impact on the lower leagues is indeed a random kill.

Leon went down after half the game and picked up an assist.

With Oscar's brace in the second half, Chelsea secured a 4-0 win on the road and progressed to the next round of the EFL Cup.

Leon looked at the fixtures and they are now in the round of 16 of the EFL Cup.

This means that if they are not unlucky enough to play extra time, they will only need to play four more games (the semi-final is a two-legged one) to reach the final of the EFL Cup.

And compared to the experience of playing in the Copa del Rey at the beginning, Leon feels that the schedule of the English League Cup is not bad.

At least not the kind of underworld schedule where you play the game in front of you, and then you have to play the final for two or three months in the middle.

This year's EFL Cup final was held in early March, and Leon's mind was also alive.

The goal of Chelsea's base this season is to finish consistently in the top three before going on to win a cup in England.

As for the Champions League?

It's a competition that both Abou and Jose Mourinho take very seriously, so Chelsea's goal in the Champions League is to fight to the end and go as far as they can.

If you look at it this way, the FA Cup, which will only be the turn of the Premier League teams in the winter, will not have much value to fight for.

Although the Premier League teams still attach more importance to the FA Cup, this competition also overlaps with the Champions League.

In addition, if the FA Cup is drawn in the first round, the play-offs will be played, and the final will not be scheduled until mid-May.

Personally, Leon thinks that it is better for Chelsea to give up at this stage of the cup competition.

He's good at playing in the fourth line on his own, and the young players in the Chelsea squad can be rotated properly. Maybe it can survive.

But what do the veterans say?

It's the veterans who are the big players in the Chelsea backline right now.

When the time comes, if you get injured in the winter schedule, it won't be a one-line collapse.

In the league and in the Champions League, Chelsea's results are likely to fluctuate a lot.

Of course, how to play in all competitions is something that the coaching staff has to arrange and decide.

However, Leon can also talk to the big brothers in the team privately to see what they think of this FA Cup.

If it is convenient later, he can also find Mu Shuai in time to talk about this multi-front battle in private.

After the EFL Cup has come to an end, the Premier League has rekindled the flames.

Coincidentally, Tottenham's London derby with Chelsea was placed in the only early time for the sixth round of the Premier League.

This time period is very friendly for fans in China and even the whole of Asia.

At 12:45pm local time in London, Tottenham and Chelsea will be in full swing.

Therefore, Huaguo fans can watch this Premier League focus game on time at 19:45 that night.

It's a great arrangement for the fans, of course, but it's not particularly comfortable for the players from both teams.

Chelsea's players started to settle for an earlier pre-practice meal two days in advance, bringing training straight forward to 1 to 3 p.m.

In order to make the body excited at this point in time faster.

Tottenham's preparation is much the same, with both teams taking this game very seriously.

Before the game even started, the fans of the two teams were already shouting and fighting outside the White Hart Lane stadium.

Fortunately, the nearby staff and police were more conscientious and did not allow Chelsea and Tottenham fans to fight outside the stadium before the game started.

Such a hot derby atmosphere made Leon nod in satisfaction as he looked around on the bus.

That's right! This special code can be called a derby!

The game between Chelsea and Fulham before, wasn't it purely Fulham's awkwardness and Chelsea ignoring it?

Listening to the constant shouting and taunting of the Tottenham fans along the way, the Chelsea team finally arrived at White Hart Lane before the expected time.

According to the plan, the Chelsea players will be on the pitch with the Tottenham players in the well, and each other will be vigilant and indifferent to complete their respective warm-ups.

But in this link, Li Ang first greeted a vote of "old acquaintances" in the Tottenham team.

He wasn't to blame for that, because he really saw a lot of old acquaintances, and these players weren't at Tottenham before.

Soldado, Eriksen, Paulinho and Vertonghen.

In the face of Leon's warm and friendly greeting before the game, all four responded with a smile.

Among them, Erikson felt the deepest.

After he moved to Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League this season, he thought he would have to play two or three more seasons before he had the opportunity to seek a transfer to several giants in La Liga.

It doesn't have to be Barcelona and Real Madrid, but Atletico Madrid, Valencia or Sevilla, Eriksen can accept it.

At that time, he will have the opportunity to play on the same stage with Li Ang, and he can meet at least twice a season, right?

As a result, he didn't expect that he came to Tottenham on his front foot, and Leon was poached to London by Chelsea on the back foot!

Now it's okay, he doesn't have to wait another two or three years, he can share a league with Leon in advance, and now the two are still in the same city.

Therefore, the teams and fans they play for do not deal with each other very much, but they both appreciate each other personally, and they have long turned off social media for each other.

However, today is also one of the hottest London derby games, so there was no more greeting after the two exchanged friendly greetings before the warm-up game.

In the midday sun, the players of both teams who had finished warming up each trotted back to the players' tunnel.

When the players on both sides followed the referee on the pitch again, the focus on the pitch was no longer theirs.

It's Mourinho and Boas, who are already hugging and greeting on the sidelines!

Villas-Boas, who has been away from Mourinho for a few years, is no longer skeptical and impatient with Mourinho in previous years.

The failure to revamp Chelsea's squad has taught him first-hand the difficulties of coaching at a big club and the obstacles to realising his tactical philosophy.

The little madman was also sacked by Chelsea. Only then did I realize the correctness of Mourinho's advice to be more patient and always maintain a learning attitude.

Now that he has said goodbye to his teacher, Boas, who has matured a lot, can only do to be grateful.

And before the bloody war officially began, the reminiscence of the master and apprentice of the big and small madmen was also a rare warm scene.

However, the two very professional managers and their players quickly put themselves into their roles after the game officially started!

"Okay, the captains on both sides have been selected, let's take a look at the starters of both teams today:

Chelsea's starting goalkeeper of the day is Czech Republic international Petr Cech.

At the back, Ashley Cole, John Terry, David Luiz and Branislav Ivanovic lined up.

Nemanja Matic and Frank Lampard played in a back pair, Leon played up front, and Eden Hazard and Ramires lined up to the left and right.

Ibrahimovic as the starting centre-forward. ”

"On the home side, Tottenham Hotspur, their starting goalkeeper today is France international Lloris.

The players who started at the back were:

Norton, Vertonghen, Michael Dawson and Kyle Walker.

In midfield, Dembele and Paulinho played in the back two, Eriksen played up front, and Sigurdsson and Townsend flanked Eriksen.

Spanish center Soldado burst forward..."

As soon as Zhan Jun's words fell, Zhang Luzhang, who was invited by Sina Sports to be the guest commentator of the live broadcast today, analyzed the intention of the starting arrangements of the coaches of the two teams with a smile.

'Ramires started today in place of Kevin De Bruyne at right midfield, and his main tactical task was not to be actively involved in the attack.

It's about keeping an eye on Tottenham's left-back Dembele, ah, a player who could be ready to push forward, and who has the best body and skill in the Premier League......"

After listening to Director Zhang suspiciously, the fans of Huaguo finally waited for the official start of the game.

With the whistle of the referee on duty, Tottenham, who took the lead in kicking off, kicked off the battle with an attacking long pass from Dembele, who received Eriksen's return pass!

Soldado, who has a more well-proportioned body, obviously can't take advantage of the top battle with Nemanja Matic.

After Tottenham's offensive long pass was pushed back, Leon and Eriksen, two old acquaintances, also staged a fierce point-grabbing confrontation in the center circle!

Eriksen naturally did his best, but he was certainly no match for Leon in terms of hand-to-hand combat.

In the end, he could only watch as Leon won the ball and began to turn around and push forward to make an offensive attempt.

Chelsea's attacking focus today was of course on the left wing.

Eden Hazard, who has been in good form recently, and Ashley Cole, who has been full of energy after being rested, were very active from the start.

Leon also decisively split the ball to the left wing after attracting the attention of Paulinho's defence.

But before Hazard could perform, he was left in place by Kyle Walker!

More crucially, Leon and Ashley Cole's gestures of raising their hands did not receive any response from the referee.

This Nima is not even a foul?

"CTMD Atkinson!"

Frank Lampard made a rare foul remark in the opening stages, and then he could only helplessly signal his teammates to return to defend first and withstand this wave of attacks from Tottenham.

"It's over, Atkinson didn't wear glasses today!"

"Alas, it's a good thing McDean didn't blow it in today's game, otherwise Chelsea would have been beaten harder."

"O my poor Zaza! Walker! ”

When the referee of today's game, Atkinson, showed his laxity in blowing the whistle, Premier League fans in China also posted and complained!

And for the Chelsea players on the pitch, anger and frustration certainly fill their brains at the moment.

Leon was also quite angry at first, but he thought about it, Atkinson's whistle is so loose today, it is impossible to completely favor Tottenham, right?

Thinking of this, Leon also did what he said, and saw that Soldado just distributed the ball to Sigurdsson who was on the side, and he went up with a sharp sliding tackle!

It was a ferocious sliding tackle from the front that made Sigurdsson not dare to be careless.

But his reaction was still a beat slower, and when he jumped, his toes hung on the soles of Leon's shoes, and finally he rolled and fell on the turf!

The football was shoveled to the right by Leon, and at this moment it was also Tottenham's turn The players began to raise their hands and roar loudly to signal referee Atkins:

Leon has a foul!

But Atkinson shook his head anyway, signaling Sigurdsson to get up quickly and for the game to continue.

Ramirez is very spiritual at this moment, and has already gone to the football, and sent a provocative pass directly to Tottenham's midfield!

Seeing that Ibrahimovic has beaten Michael Dawson to complete the header ferry.

Eden Hazard also had a quick shot from the edge of the Tottenham penalty area, and the Spurs fans sat in the stands clutching their chests and exclaimed!

Li Ang is finally comfortable this time.

If the scale of the blowing penalty is outrageous, then it doesn't matter, as long as it is about the same for both sides, Li Ang is completely acceptable.

And after the two offensive and defensive tests in the opening game, the players of Tottenham and Chelsea also let go of their courage and left no room for the rhythm of fighting!

However, Tottenham's defensive players are facing ruthless characters like Leon and Ibrahimovic, who will take revenge immediately if they have a grudge, and completely have the upper hand in the confrontation, and they are not afraid at all.

Chelsea's defenders, on the other hand, have more to do with Soldado and Christian Eriksen.

Well...

The skills and strength of the two are definitely not to be said.

But in terms of playing style, Soldado from La Liga and Eriksen from the Eredivisie still need to learn a lot from their teammates.

In short, after the hard fight, the completed squad changes, and Tottenham, who seem to have embarked on the technical stream, do not look like Chelsea's opponents.

And just when Villas-Boas was glaring at today's referee Atkinson, Mourinho had already made a fine-tuning of his attacking tactics.

The referee's whistle is very loose, and Chelsea's confrontation is just in the ascendancy, so things will be easy to do!

The rush of the hard bridge and the hard horse!

Leon plugged in from the middle back, Ramirez and Hazard advanced on the flanks, and then it exploded at 45 degrees!

Leon is still the first player to understand what his own manager means.

For Ibrahimovic, this familiar attacking mode does not need him to adapt.

The striker grabs the point under the chaotic battle, and the midfield rushes hard into the XJBT tactic!

Ibu looked back at the sidelines at this moment, and he wasn't even sure if he was seeing Uncle Bird or Uncle Embarrassment.

However, with Li Ang on the field, they can be said to be handy with each other.

And at this moment, the thoughts in the hearts of the two of them are almost exactly the same.

"It would be better if there was Kevin (Big Boateng) as a meat shield!"

After sighing, Leon and Ibrahimovic watched as Hazard finally managed to tear apart Kyle Walker's lone defense on the left flank.

They rushed into Tottenham's penalty area together very tacitly!

The two of them were resolute forward, and Hazard's wide-curling cross was also appropriate.

So much so that Michael Dawson and Vertonghen were both so slow to react!

And after forming a point-grabbing situation with a double ghost slamming the door, Ibrahimovic used more power to suppress Michael Dawson's jump.

He didn't jump very high at the front and began to fall around the same time as Michael Dawson.

So Leon, who has a very wide line of sight, relied on his stronger ability to stay in the air, and beat Vertonghen to complete a close-range head-shaking attack!

Vertonghen is also powerless at this time.

The main reason is that his position was stuck by Li Ang, and behind Li Ang, he couldn't occupy the initiative at all!

Lori tried his best to save his team.

But his arm span was still a little worse after all.

The ball almost grazed his fingertips in the end and went straight into the net at the far end of the Tottenham goal!

After landing on the ground, Li Ang confirmed that the football had crossed the line, and he excitedly rushed straight to the corner flag area!

Beat an old acquaintance or something, he Li Ang likes it the most?
