Xu Zhu's Successor's Football Journey

Chapter 201 Four consecutive victories (1)

Unknowingly, in the Premier League, Chelsea has won three consecutive victories at the start of the game, and has firmly sat at the top of the league standings. In contrast to other qualified competitors, Manchester United has won three games, one draw and one draw. With four points from a loss, they are ranked No.10 in the league. Arsenal have two wins and one loss with six points, ranking No.3 in the league. Liverpool have five points with one win and two draws, ranking No.6 in the league.

It is worth mentioning that in the previous rounds, Everton, which had just sold Rooney to alleviate the club's financial crisis, performed surprisingly strong. In the first three rounds, they won two and drew one, accumulating seven points. Second only to Chelsea, leapt to second place in the league.In comparison, Everton's schedule is not easy. In the first round of the league, they even encountered Manchester United. Under such circumstances, it is really impressive that they can still achieve this result.

However, compared to Chelsea's results, these teams with some outstanding performances are really nothing. Three games, three big victories, 1 to 5, 1 to 4, 5 to 0, 14 goals in three games, This scoring efficiency is really embarrassing.Although in the face of the praise of many media, the arrogant Portuguese said "modestly" that "the team's overall lineup system is not yet perfect", but even this lineup without a "perfect" offensive ability is really speechless explain.

Among them, the performances of Chelsea's striker 'Dancing Master' Alan Wang and Côte d'Ivoire's 'Warcraft' Drogba are absolutely remarkable. Among these 14 goals, these two people scored 11 of them. Efficiency makes strikers of other teams feel at a loss when they look at this season's top scorer in the Premier League and the European Golden Boot. Among them, he still maintains a high efficiency, and the efficiency of three goals in three games has to be convincing, but he only ranks third in the Premier League scorer list with Manchester City's Anelka, while Wang Li, who is the first But scored twice as many goals as him...

After three rounds, in the evaluation of many media, Chelsea, the forward line led by Wang Li and Didier Drogba, has undoubtedly become the first striker in the Premier League. real Madrid! !
Of course, the Spaniards may scoff at this statement, but at least many gentleman fans with a "Great England plot" have agreed with this view, so the newspapers and magazines that made this statement are very popular, yes , For these media, they only need to cater to the appetite of the English.

Daily Telegraph: "Three consecutive victories, who can stop Chelsea's footsteps?" "

"The league has just gone through three rounds, but Manchester United's weak performance, Everton's strong rise, Arsenal's continued stability, Aston Villa's excellent performance, etc., all seem to indicate that the Premier League will usher in a combination of heroes. The era! And all these things can’t hide the brilliance of the ‘Sterling Legion’ Chelsea, three games, three big victories, they played a perfect start, now, who is still laughing at the Portuguese’s arrogance?”

The Sun: "The magical 'dancing master' leads the scoring frenzy again"

"Three games, [-] goals, Chelsea's forward line, explained to us what goal efficiency is! The barbaric Dutch beast? The proud French emperor? No, no, no! Now, we only know England's New star, yes, it is a new star, but this new star is more brilliant than those "old predecessors" who claim to be emperors, legendary shooters, etc. Alan Wang, two passes and six shots in three games, laugh Proud Premier League!"

............... ..
All kinds of compliments from the outside world can't affect the internal training of the Chelsea club. Mourinho still insists on his iron fist and doesn't let go of these big-name players.

For a club, especially for a team like Chelsea that competes for the league championship, it is not uncommon for them to win three consecutive league victories. In the three rounds at the beginning of the season, Chelsea just happened to be ranked first in the league.

As a championship-chasing coach, Mourinho will not be fooled by these praises. Before he really wins the championship, he will not relax in the slightest about himself and the team.

Now, the entire Chelsea team is ready for the next round of the league. Their opponent is the newly promoted Southampton team known as the 'Saints'.It is said that in order to adapt to the offensive capabilities of the Premier League, the Southampton team spent 700 million pounds on the defense. It seems that they intend to use a stable defense to stabilize the team's position in the Premier League.

However, these are irrelevant to the players of the Chelsea team. Although the head coach Mr. Mourinho also carefully checked the opponent's game information before the game, facing a newly promoted polo team, even if they Excellent, how strong can it be?
"At Stamford Bridge, we don't allow failure!" At the press conference before the game, Mourinho said: "We will use our best in this game, which is also a kind of respect for our opponents. It’s going to be a great game.”

And Southampton's coach Stroker also said optimistically: "We will try our best to make the game interesting. Although we are a newly promoted team and always know our position in the Premier League, the brilliance of the 'Saints' makes the game more interesting." Our team has always been motivated to strive for glory, and we will try to play every game!"

Having said that, the game between the two teams did not 'become interesting' as Stroker said. At this time, at Stamford Bridge, Southampton was more like a team shrunk into a shell. The old tortoises, they seem to be running on the principle of 'keeping one point'.

In the current game scene, the Chelsea team is completely attacking with an overwhelming advantage, but facing Southampton's 910 tactics, this kind of offense seems very weak.Obviously, after studying Chelsea's games this season, Southampton's head coach Stroker knew that the team had almost no chance of winning in a normal offensive and defensive battle with Chelsea, so he has decided to put most of his energy on On the defensive.

It is worth mentioning that the performance of Southampton's strengthened back line is indeed remarkable. More than [-] minutes of the game have passed, but Chelsea have almost failed to attack the opponent's small penalty area, with nine shots and eight misses. , only one shot into the range of the goal frame, and it was easily captured by the opponent's goalkeeper Andy Niemi.

In this game, Mourinho still insisted on the 433 formation, and Wang Li returned to the position of right midfielder. In fact, although he was more helpful to the team as a right back, facing a newly promoted , Chelsea need a striker who scores goals more than a midfielder who breaks through the offense. Mourinho's arrangement is also reasonable.

Looking at the bus-style defense composed of dense white figures in the penalty area, Wang Li felt a little tingly. After Chelsea showed a strong offensive ability, the opponents they faced would try their best to prevent their goals. In this case, Wang Li can only continue to wander on the right side of the penalty area, looking for opportunities.

In the 68th minute of the game, Lampard dribbled the ball in the middle and passed it diagonally to the outside of the penalty area. Joe Cole took the ball and turned around to hang the goal, but Southampton defender Klaus Lundekwan used a fierce tackle, causing Joe Cole to fall directly to the ground.

Joe Cole was rolling around on the grass with his legs hugged, and Wang Li hurried over to check his condition.The referee also rushed over, and did not make a judgment in a hurry. Instead, he squatted down and looked at Joe Cole's injury. It seems that the referees in the Premier League are also very 'humane'.

At this time, Joe Cole's sock on his right leg was scratched by the opponent's spiked shoe, and there were obvious blood stains inside. The referee waved his hand to signal the team doctor to enter the field, and carried Joe Cole down on a stretcher.

Mourinho anxiously went to the team doctor to inquire about the situation. In the heart of the Portuguese, Joe Cole is undoubtedly an important weight for Chelsea's frontcourt attack. His injury will have a great impact on the team. , During the long time of getting along, Joe Cole's hard work has left a good influence on Mourinho, and he doesn't want Joe Cole to have any problems.

After a simple examination, the team doctor confirmed that Joe Cole could not play, but he also indicated that there was no major problem, which made Mourinho feel a little relieved. Then, he walked to the bench and let Adrian Mu Figure to warm up.

In this case, Mourinho is still very rational. In order to strengthen the team's offensive ability, he replaced a pure striker on the field.

The referee showed Klaus Lundekwan a yellow card and awarded Chelsea a free kick from outside the penalty area, about 30 meters from the goal.

A free kick at this point is very dangerous, and a direct shot is likely to score a goal. Therefore, under the command of team captain Neil McCann, the Southampton team hastily formed a four-person wall and sealed it tightly. The angle of the shot, while other players also stayed close to the Chelsea players to prevent them from finding an opportunity to make a follow-up shot.

At this time, Lampard, Chelsea's first free kicker, stood in front of the ball. He took a long breath and jumped a few times on the spot, looking for the feeling of kicking a free kick, but at this time, he saw the penalty area In the middle of the day, Wang Li, who was closely guarded by an opponent's defender, gave him a wink.

Lampard hurriedly nodded calmly. After such a long period of cooperation, he has already understood the meaning of this black-haired boy. Although he really wants to shoot by himself, he also knows that the efficiency of such a goal is not high. , when the team has not yet opened up the situation, of course the overall situation must be the most important thing, but now, perhaps due to the negligence of the opposing coach, the black-haired kid is surrounded by only one person defending. Lampard knows that this is almost the same as no one defending. no difference! !

At this time, Drogba and Bridget were standing on the left side of the penalty area, waiting for a chance to score at any time, while Wang Li and Gremi were standing on the right side of the penalty area, and most of the other Chelsea players were standing near the center line. , Preventing the opponent's counterattack, after all, in Mourinho's tactical thinking, defense is the most important.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone in the audience, with a soft 'beep' from the referee's mouth, Lampard took two steps back and took small steps forward. In the running rhythm, he swung his right foot and directly hit the The lower edge of the football.

Under the watchful eyes of the fans, Southampton's human wall jumped up according to the reaction. To everyone's surprise, the speed of the ball was not fast, and it did not hang towards the goal, but towards the penalty area. Fly to the left.

That's where Wang Li and Gremi are! !
At this moment, Wang Li took a step forward in the direction of the football, luckily ready to jump for a header, this is the perfect opportunity, even though he is not good at headers!

Looking up at the sky, when the ball was about to fall, just to be on the safe side, Wang Li performed a light technique and jumped up suddenly, but at this moment, he felt his jersey being pulled by someone!
The defender defending Wang Li was obviously not going to let him head the ball so easily. After realizing that he couldn't grab a good point, he secretly pulled Wang Li's jersey hard, which made him jump in the air. Wang Li's body became unbalanced by the pull, and he knew that even if he attacked the goal forcefully, it would be difficult for him to exert strength.

In an instant, Wang Li, who was in the air, caught Gremi on the left side of his eyes from the corner of his eye. He tilted his head without thinking, and the ball hit Wang Li's head, and jumped towards Gremi in disguise. rice.

At this time, almost everyone in the audience was watching Wang Li. Gremi was obviously ignored. Even the Southampton defender who was guarding him next to him did not expect Wang Li to choose to pass the ball.

Faced with this opportunity, Gremi was very excited, but he still suppressed it, swung his right foot to face the flying ball, and directly volleyed vigorously——
"Goal scored!! Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo yeah, No 14, No 67, [-] I am ! In the [-]th minute of the game, Chelsea finally scored a goal, [-]-[-]!!"

The Blues fans in the auditorium cheered loudly with excitement. This game was obviously the most difficult game played by Chelsea in the new season. They waited for nearly an hour and a half for the goal to finally arrive, but they did not Complain, no matter what, the team finally scored a goal. For newly promoted players like Southampton, this is almost a death sentence for them! !
Stroker on the sidelines also closed his eyes helplessly. He thought his tactics would be successful, but this goal completely kicked him into the abyss. Perhaps compared to Aston Villa, Southampton has done well enough at Stamford Bridge, and at this time, he can only comfort himself in this way.

After scoring the goal, Gremi was obviously very excited. He hadn't experienced the feeling of scoring for a long time. With his hands tightly pressed against his cheeks, he walked up to Wang Li who was still falling on the grass, and stretched out his hand to pull him up.

"Alan, thank you!!"

After thanking, Gremi gave Wang Li a warm hug, followed by the Chelsea teammates, who celebrated enthusiastically in the way of "human flesh arhat", and it felt uncomfortable to lie under the crowd, but to Gremi Speaking, he hopes that every game can have this kind of "enjoyment"——
This may be another tragedy of professional players! ! ?
