Drogba's return was a complete surprise.

Whether it's for the whole Chelsea team, for Jose Mourinho or for himself, it's a dream.

And it started with a congratulatory phone call from Mourinho at the end of the Premier League season.

The two had a good chat, with Jose Mourinho joking that he would take Chelsea to the Champions League next season, while Didier Drogba joked that he would ask Mourinho to give him a place to come back.

Neither of them took it seriously at first.

However, during a pre-season fitness exercise, Chelsea's in-house medical team suggested to Mourinho that Ibrahimovic should further control his playing time in the new season to ensure his fitness.

Mourinho immediately had the idea of bringing in another substitute centre-forward.

After all, Ibrahimovic is getting older, and he didn't get much injured last season, which is lucky, but Mourinho has to prepare for the worst first.

Should Ibrahimovic be injured during the season's title race and be unavailable.

With the current rotation of Torres and Romelu Lukaku, can Chelsea really keep their attacking system running smoothly?

If Lukaku had been brought out last season, then Mourinho would not have had any worries about this.

Lukaku, however, is now increasingly fond of playing on both wings, and his weight has been further reduced this offseason.

Coupled with the fact that Torres's form has been up and down, if Chelsea are going to sprint on four fronts in the new season, then bringing in a regular centre-forward is something Mourinho must consider.

In terms of Ibrahimovic's role in Chelsea's attacking side and the tactical load he has on him.

Chelsea's replacement centre-forwards are still preferably pivotal strikers with a tactical role.

Chelsea are not lacking in the ability to score goals from the back on the wings and in midfield.

So when it comes to replacing Ibrahimovic, the substitute striker doesn't have to take on too much of the scoring load.

It's better to have played in the Premier League before, have more experience, have a stronger confrontation ability, and be able to hold the ball steadily in the front court.

When Mourinho carefully sorted out these tactical qualities, he found that there was a ready-made suitable veteran, and he was talking to someone on the phone the other day...

As a result, Chelsea's official loan request was quickly sent to Galatasaray.

Galatasaray and Drogba's economic team only negotiated a new contract last week.

cut half of Drogba's salary on the basis of the original annual salary of 6 million, and renewed his contract with Drogba for another year.

Faced with Chelsea's loan fee of 5 million, coupled with the loan conditions of covering Drogba's entire salary, Galatasaray's management was moved.

Originally, they planned to let Drogba slowly withdraw from the starting lineup and serve as a substitute for the team's main center Yilmaz, and then let new signings Pandev and Yilmaz form a new forward duo.

Now that there is a chance to earn €5 million on loan, Drogba's departure will not have any impact on the team's preparations for the new season, so why not?

So on the third day after Chelsea made a loan request to Galatasaray, Drogba, who had no problems, simply packed his bags and flew straight back to London.

The return of the African Monster has more than just a lot of cheers and buzz among Chelsea fans.

Around the world, countless fans are looking forward to the possibility of Ibrahimovic and Didier Drogba playing together in the Chelsea squad for the new season!

Fans of the post-85 generation don't know how many of them have formed a dream double center forward combination of "Ibrahimovic + Drogba" in various football games.

Now it's a dream come true to see these two superstar centre-forwards working together – even if both are in their prime of their careers.

But for the fans, the feeling of this game being brought to life still makes them feel very excited and excited!

Drogba had also participated in the pre-season training camp at Galatasaray before, so his physical condition was very good.

Coupled with the fact that he is familiar with most of the players in the Chelsea team and Mourinho's tactical style of play, he has been able to integrate into the team very smoothly.

If you go back to 2010, Drogba and Ibrahimovic could be in serious competition in one team.

But in the summer of 2014, the two of them got along and trained together in an unusually harmonious manner.

Ibrahimovic's current starting role in the Chelsea squad is unassailable, he knows that and Jose Mourinho has given him clear assurances.

Didier Drogba is of course well aware of his tactical position on his return to Chelsea.

The most important point is that he can no longer compete with Ibrahimovic for the Chelsea starting centre-forward position.

Last season at Galatasaray, his stats had dropped significantly, and he scored in double figures throughout the season.

Compared to Ibrahimovic, who scored 35 goals and provided 11 assists for Chelsea in all competitions last season, the gap is huge.

However, Drogba, who is now 36 years old, has also relaxed his mentality.

Jose Mourinho invited him back to Chelsea this time and he knew exactly what he wanted him to do.

In the area of club honours, Drogba is also a personal winner.

He has no shortage of top-flight titles and English domestic cup titles, and the only regret is the Champions League.

In the summer of 2012, he and his old brothers were very, very close to winning the Champions League.

It's a pity that at that time, I met the formation of the army of Real Madrid...

Now that he talks about it, the regret in Drogba's mouth has faded a lot.

Chelsea are also strong this year, at least after the reinforcement, it looks like the strength on paper is not inferior to any of the giants on the continent.

These old boys also have one last chance to chase their dreams in the true sense.

And with the acceleration of the training and run-in process within the team, after feeling the strong strength of the current Chelsea midfield, Drogba's heart is becoming more and more confident.

Didier Drogba was amazed by the strength of Leon's prowess at both ends of the pitch.

Drogba even feels that among his teammates he has dealt with in the past, whether it is Frank Lampard in his peak form or Ballack in his tail, he is not as versatile as Leon is now.

In the past, the media always liked to use exaggerated words to promote the all-round offensive and defensive capabilities of a certain midfielder.

But the professionals who play on the pitch know that there are very few midfielders who can do that.

Now Drogba thinks that Leon has indeed achieved the perfect balance between attack and defence, at least on the training ground, and this is what Leon really feels about him.

In addition to his strength, Li Ang's diligent training can be regarded as another eye-opener for Drogba.

In the past, he at most read the media reports and knew that Li Ang liked to practice very much, and was a very diligent midfield talent.

Now that he has seen with his own eyes the "physical superman" that is contrary to his worldview, Drogba also has to sigh that endurance is really the best talent God has given to his favorite players.

However, he didn't know that Li Ang was diligent and diligent, but if it wasn't for the new unlocking of the upper limit of talent and the opening of the plug-in gift package, it would be impossible to toss himself so desperately on the training ground.

After all, even if Li Ang still wanted to improve his ability every day after completing the training camp, he couldn't stick to it without the support of a plug-in-like high-level physical recovery potion.

At the end of the season, Leon had earned a total of nearly 2,400 points.

Compared with last season, if you don't win the Champions League again, the income from these points will naturally be much less.

However, thanks to the explosion of personal data this season, Li Ang can also be regarded as making up some points from the other side.

It's no longer possible to unlock a diamond and two gold talent shard cards as you did last season.

After all, if you do this, the system needs at least 2600 points.

So after thinking about it again, Leon finally chose to exchange for three gold-level talent shard cards, and then enable the function of locking ability values, spending a total of 2,100 points.

This time, the stats he chose to lock on were Strong, Flexible, and Jumpy.

The three Talent Shard Cards that were opened were:

"Vieri's 04-05 Season Strength Talent Fragment, Talent Value: 93 (full value 100, host's current Strength Ability value 87); Comes with experience: scientific strengthening of core muscles. ”

"Ronaldinho's 13-14 Season Flexible Talent Fragment, Talent Value: 92 (full value 100, host's current Flexibility Ability Value 86); Bonus experience: samba steps enhance the exercise of body flexibility. ”

"Cannavaro 07-08 Season Bounce Talent Fragment, Talent Value: 92 (Full Value 100, Host's Current Bounce Ability Value 84); Comes with experience: the best way for short defenders to bounce and exert power. ”

And last season's Premier League title and EFL Cup title won the two first titles of the competition.

Leon prescribed the familiar high-level physical recovery potion that can be used ten times and a rare silver-level protective item:

A tight-fitting liner that protects the muscles of the upper body.

This is a protective item that Leon has not seen in the exchange shop so far.

Even if it is only silver-level, it can protect the muscle groups of the upper body, and can freely change the state of long and short sleeves and the appearance color, and Li Ang is very satisfied with this.

Taking advantage of the last period before the start of the new season, Leon grabbed another wave of ability points.

It wasn't until 15 August, two days before Chelsea's new league season, that Leon stopped his frenzied practice.

And his current stats have improved a lot from when he moved to Chelsea last year.

Leon's current abilities are as follows:

Strong: 88 (93)

Stamina: 96 (98)

Speed: 87 (93)

Acceleration: 88 (93)

Dribbling: 87 (93)

Ball Control: 87 (88)

Short passing: 91 (93)

Long Pass: 89 (93)

Crossings: 77 (87)

Archery: 81 (93)

Shot Power: 90 (93)

Long shot: 90 (97)

Flexible: 86 (92)

Balanced: 86 (87)

Headers: 88 (92)

Bounce: 86 (92)

Tackle: 88 (88)

Steals: 91 (92)

Field of view: 88 (97)

The remaining 300 points Li Ang didn't plan to move, and when he reached 1200 points in the back, he planned to lock in a diamond-level tackle talent card.

After that, the things to improve are ball control and balance, both of which he also plans to directly open a diamond-level talent card to fill up the talent value at one time.

The cap of 87 talent in the cross is completely enough for him, and he is practicing slowly at the moment, so let's take my time.

In the new season, he still has to seize the time to focus on his strengths.

Some of the technical abilities that are core to him are long and short passes, tackles and tackles, including long-range skills.

He also needs to devote a lot of time to find further breakthroughs and consolidations.

After all, his plug-in system is not just done with the ability value liver.

Even if he is lazy for a week or two and does not train seriously for the game, the specific ability value may decline slightly because of this.

So I still can't be lazy, I have to invest a lot of time in maintaining my body and the game.

Of course, Leon will not be slack and tired because of the hard training.

In the final analysis, what can make him embark on the road of professional football and persevere, is because of the sincere love for football in his heart.

It's always hard to do a job, especially one over a long period of time.

But if you have your own interests in it, you can do things that you like and are very interested in.

The so-called difficulty and boredom become "enjoyment" pain.

At least the current Li Ang, every time he clicks on the system panel, he sees that he has grown up in the ability value.

When he thinks that he is getting closer and closer to winning the Golden Ball, his heart will only be filled with the motivation to continue to fight and fight.

Ahead of the official start of the new Premier League season, Sky Sports collected the transfer information of all 20 Premier League teams and gave corresponding ratings.

Clearing redundant players, transferring Oscar, David Luiz, Essien, and bringing in Kroos, Thiago Silva and Drogba in succession in the transfer market, Chelsea naturally received an "S" evaluation.

Chelsea are also the only team in the Premier League to receive an S rating for transfer operations in the summer window.

Manchester City began by streamlining their squad, selling players such as Dzeko, Yaya Toure and Negredo who did not meet Guardiola's tactical requirements.

Midfielder Thiago was brought in from Bayern Munich and midfielder Rakitic from Sevilla.

Finally, Villa, who looked to be in good form, were brought in from Atletico Madrid.

This transfer operation can be said to further mark Manchester City with Pep Guardiola's football.

However, Manchester City's transfer operation in this summer window has only received an A-class evaluation from Sky Sports.

The rest of the teams, such as Arsenal and Liverpool, who have not invested much in the transfer market this year, will have to be even more behind Manchester City.

He only joined Chelsea last season, and at the end of the season, he was named the best player of the season by the English Players' Union, the Football Journalists' Association and the Premier League.

It was also selected by "Sky Sports" before the season, and the list of the most watched and anticipated players in the 2014-2015 new season was ranked first!

This is not a list of fan expectations that Sky Sports has imagined.

Instead, it collected the opinions and voting information of fans in the previous two months, which is supported by data.

Of the 100,000 English fans who participated in the vote, nearly 90,000 voted for Leon for the most anticipated player of the new season!

Whether it is the regret of being able to reach the Premier League double 20 plus by only one goal last season, or the amazing performance of Li Ang who has turned the tide many times in the league.

is enough to make him a superstar and the king of popularity in the current Premier League!

And now the biggest expectation of Premier League fans for Leon is actually a little.

When will he be able to represent the Premier League to the top of football and become another Grand Slam Mr. in the Premier League?!
