Xu Zhu's Successor's Football Journey

Chapter 194 God's spokesperson

After finishing the transfer matters, although Thiago Mendes has not been able to come to the team to report, but the head coach Mourinho also had to turn his attention back to the league.

Just like what Sir Alex Ferguson said, the next round of the league is likely to change the league points significantly, because Manchester United will face Everton, which has just reached a transfer agreement. Rooney has just joined Manchester United. Facing his old club in the game, this may be a good opportunity for him to declare his loyalty to Manchester United, while Chelsea's opponent is Aston Villa, a powerhouse in the Premier League for nearly a decade.

Even though Aston Villa has never won a top league title in the past 20 years, it must not be underestimated.Different from teams like Birmingham and Crystal Palace, Aston Villa is a very rare "mid-range team" in the Premier League. Between the top ten, there is no chance of winning the championship and no danger of relegation, but this kind of team has a very high chance of breaking out and defeating the giants.

Last year, under the leadership of coach O'Reilly, the team's lineup has been supplemented and its tactics have matured. Although it has not received any honors, it can perform like this without the injection of foreign capital. It has proved the strength and background of Aston Villa, that is to say, this game is also a test for Chelsea, which has just completed a major change.

In this summer, although Aston Villa did not spend as much money as the giants, they used their sincerity to impress the 27-year-old Danish international Martin Laursen and brought him from San Rossi. Pulling the Park Stadium, O'Reilly believes that the defense line composed of him and team captain Melberg will definitely make the team's lineup more consolidated.

In addition to the above reasons, for Chelsea, this game is also closely related to the league standings.Now after two rounds, Chelsea temporarily ranks first in the league with six points and a goal difference advantage, while Manchester United and Arsenal are tied for ninth and tenth with three points.

In the first six rounds of the league, Chelsea's opponents are Aston Villa, Southampton, Tottenham Hotspur, and Middlesbrough. Obviously, only Aston Villa is the only one of these teams. The strongest team, as long as they can win the next game, it will be much easier to play in the future. Before encountering a rich team with comparable strength, it is also Chelsea's time to grab points. In Mourinho's In my heart, of course I don't want to lose a single point.

Of course, the above situation is only for Chelsea. For Aston Villa, they are already gearing up to teach Chelsea, an 'upstart'. In Chelsea, they 'hate' the most 'The player is undoubtedly Wang Li, although Wang Li doesn't care about this situation at all.

To talk about the entanglement between Aston Villa and Wang Li, we have to start from last season.After Wang Li joined the first team of Wolverhampton, the second opponent he faced was Aston Villa team led by O'Reilly, and in that game, he conquered the The entire Molyneux Stadium has won the support of fans and the trust of coach Dave Jones with perfect performance.

Of course, this is definitely not good news for the players of the Aston Villa team. Because of the 'Dream Dance' video that was popular on the Internet last year, many people on the team became 'villain supporting roles', and only Wang Li is just a hero. Obviously, this is unacceptable to many people.Therefore, the name 'Alan Wang' has become an eternal 'pain' in the hearts of several Aston Villa players. Yes, these people are the supporting roles in 'Fantasy Dance'...

That game has always been regarded as a shame by coach O'Reilly-the team was actually defeated by one person, and had to bear the irony of the opposing coach after the game!Whenever thinking of that encounter, O'Reilly felt very uncomfortable.

And the player who beat the team and O'Reilly was in the Chelsea team. Because of this alone, O'Reilly had to pay [-]% attention to the Chelsea team. Besides, Chelsea still has many big names as powerful as Wang Li star.

"Are the current big-name players really so easy to use?" Aston Villa Club, in the head coach's room, O'Reilly was scratching his head at a tactical board "Plus Drogba, Lampard, Joe Cole, Carvalho... how do you defend? Two to guard Allen, three to guard Drogba, and two to guard Lampard? Hey, that stingy Iris, if the team also has A transfer fee of [-] million euros, no, tens of millions is enough, how could I be so worried!"

In fact, it's not just the team's defense that bothers O'Reilly. The defense led by Laurson and Melberg is not too bad, but the team's offense is different.In the first two rounds of the league, facing the two Championship teams West Bromwich Albion and Southampton, the game was only scored [-]-[-] and [-]-[-], although the result was four points. The results are not bad, but it also exposed a serious lack of team offensive ability.

Since coaching Aston Villa in 2002 until now, O'Reilly is very aware of the current situation of the team. The reason why the offensive ability is insufficient is because the strength of the midfielders is generally low, and in the transfer market, the strength is strong. The price of a midfielder is still high, and the stingy club chairman will never spend more money to buy powerful players to fill the gap.

As for the forward line, the strength of England international Vassell is beyond doubt. His partner with Carlton Cole is also very threatening. Of course, this cannot be compared with Chelsea's offensive line.

On the night before the match, O'Reilly was full of confidence in the face of reporters' questions, jokingly said: "Many media believe that the next round of the league, that is, tomorrow's game, will be the battle for the Premier League standings. The point is, I very much hope that this happens, for example, if Aston Villa wins at Stamford Bridge, we are likely to become No.1 in the league, and that feeling must be very good."

"Then Mr. O'Reilly, can you talk about the team's defensive problems in tomorrow's game? You know, in the first two rounds of the league, Chelsea scored nine goals. This kind of offensive ability is famous in the whole world. It is outstanding." A "Guardian" reporter asked with interest.

O'Reilly smiled, "This is a team secret, and we don't want to reveal it to our opponents."

"Don't worry, we won't tell Mr. Mourinho!"

"But the newspaper will tell." O'Reilly spread his hands and shook his head with a wry smile.

At this time, the reporters began to interview the players who came out of the training ground. Facing the cameras of many media, the defender of Aston Villa, No. 3 Lloyd Samuel said aggressively: "Tomorrow I will definitely do my best. Go, try to play well for the team, strive for victory, and, I will let him know how great it is!"

What Samuel said made the media a little confused. Could it be that he would have a big conflict with a certain Chelsea player?With this idea in mind, these pervasive reporters immediately found out the origin of the incident.

The protagonist is still Wang Li! !

Maybe Wang Li himself has forgotten that in the match against Aston Villa last season, he was irritated by the opponent's tackle defensive tactics, and then used his internal strength to injure a defender who used a violent tackle on the opponent, and caused him to be injured--
That's right, that player was Samuel. After that game, he "rested" in bed for more than two weeks before returning to the court.

It was also the only injury last season for the burly Samuel, and he will certainly remember it fondly.In fact, Samuel is not a good man. In the team, it was because of his rough movements and decisive kicks that he was trusted by the head coach O'Reilly and became the main guard who could not move.

After the reporter found out the cause of the incident, they immediately rushed to London to interview the Chelsea team. The most important thing was to get Wang Li's response to Samuel's provocation.

"Actually, there's really nothing to say." Wang Li curled his lips and smirked, making the reporters puzzled. "I think his IQ is questionable. If I were him, I wouldn't say anything. , and then show it on the court, even if something happens, everyone will think it will be just a coincidence."

"And now, I don't worry about my personal safety anymore. I can play at will in tomorrow's game, because the FA will never watch a violent incident on the pitch happen under their noses and ignore it. Therefore, tomorrow's referee will enforce the law." The intensity may be very fair and strict."

Although Wang Li's words were very subtle, these reporters could hear the meaning clearly. They can already imagine tomorrow's scene. I am afraid that because of this passage, tomorrow's referee will have to take special care of it. That outspoken Samuel, not to mention, this is at Stamford Bridge!

Yes, Stamford Bridge!
This is also Chelsea's first home game this season.

In the warm-up training match the next afternoon, Wang Li deeply felt the home atmosphere of this quasi-rich team. There were still two hours before the start of the game, but the audience at the Stamford Bridge Stadium was covered by blue. Covering, due to the surprisingly strong performance of Chelsea this year, more fans came here to cheer for the home team. Wang Li looked around and saw that the more than 4 seats in the stadium were almost full!
"Alan, come on! After a while, scoring a few goals here will definitely feel great!" Thomas stared blankly at the blue waves around him, and said involuntarily.

Wang Li patted Thomas on the shoulder, and said excitedly: "Don't worry, you can just watch me play on the bench, those Birmingham players I kicked are shit."

"By the way, be careful of that Samuel, don't get hurt."

Wang Li made a gesture of prayer and said solemnly: "With God, the wicked will definitely be punished."

In fact, he also makes occasional guest appearances as God's voice...
