Ice Shooter of the Green Field

Returning to London this time, Qi Ce's huge mansion was finally not just his own. Eileen, who was on summer vacation, and Lin Xiaojia, who graduated, all moved into Qi Ce's new mansion. Qi Ce finally looked like a model. Had a decent birthday.

On his twenty-second birthday, six years have passed since Qi Ce set foot on the European continent at the age of sixteen, and the mysterious veil is about to be unveiled in the seventh year.

On average, human cells complete an overall metabolism every seven years. In other words, you and the person you were seven years ago are already two different people from a certain perspective. The seventh year of doing certain things is considered very critical. Of course, the year is more used to describe love, but in fact, some work and study can also happen easily.

After doing the same thing repeatedly for many years, it is inevitable that there will be boredom and slacking off. However, after resuming training, Qi Ce felt pretty good.

Chelsea also plans to go on a trip to Asia this summer. Zize's huge influence in Asia, especially China, has made the team salivate. This is the case in Dortmund. In fact, let alone Asia, he even went to Japan to play. The Club World Cup has allowed Dortmund to make a lot of money, not to mention going directly to Zice's homeland.

Now it's Chelsea's turn to taste the sweetness. On Wednesday, July 24th, the Chelsea team will embark on a week-and-a-half trip to China. This so-called trip to Asia is actually a trip to China. Chelsea plans to play three games in three cities. games, respectively, in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. In addition to Chelsea, some other European giants will come to China this summer. Chelsea will play two European teams in China. One is against Bayern Munich in Shanghai, and the other is in China. Guangzhou played against Manchester City, and in Beijing they played a friendly match against the host Beijing Guoan.

The Asia trip is actually a business trip. The team mainly focuses on making money, and it is impossible to say that they spend energy and effort on this game. As a traditional head coach, Hiddink is actually quite opposed to these commercial things, so there are no special tactics for the friendly matches. In terms of lineup, Hiddink also chose half-court young players and substitutes as the main half-court players.

The first game was Chelsea playing against Manchester City in Guangzhou. Zize started the game and was replaced by Drogba after half-time. The final score between the two sides was 2:2. Zize failed to score in the first half and Manchester City scored a goal. , and then the second half turned into a performance by the teenagers. Chelsea new aid Van Ginkel scored on his debut. The other goal was from the teenager Hazard. It was not the Hazard of the first team, but his younger brother, Torgan Hazard. Zal.

The second game was played in Shanghai. The opponent was Bayern Munich, the top team in the Bundesliga. Compared with Manchester City, Zize found that Bayern Munich took this kind of game more seriously, and almost all the main players started against Chelsea.

This season, Bayern Munich has undergone an important personnel change. Guardiola has officially taken over as Bayern Munich coach. He will inject a passing control system into the team. Bayern Munich, the strongest team last season, was blocked by Chelsea at the gate of the semi-finals. Meeting Chelsea for the first time in the new preseason, fans also want to see what Guardiola can come up with.

Guardiola faced European champions Chelsea in his first game as coach.

They played pretty well and finally defeated Chelsea 4:2, which made many Shanghai fans a little dissatisfied.

But the only consolation is that Zize scored twice. Zize came on as a substitute in the second half of this game. The score was 1:0. Zize scored the equalizer. Then Bayern scored two goals in a row and exceeded it again. Next Zize scored another goal in the 82nd minute, but the young defender had little experience and Bayern was very serious about this game. In the end, even Zize was unable to save the defeat on the court.

Finally, they went to the Beijing Workers' Stadium to challenge Beijing Guoan. Drogba served as the starting forward. Zize came on as a substitute for Drogba in the 62nd minute. In the first hour of the game, Beijing Guoan unexpectedly took the lead, but Drogba was The score was leveled in the forty minutes before Schürrle turned the score around.

After Zice came on the field, he scored in the 71st minute to expand the score to 3:1, which was also the final score of the game.

The trip to China actually doesn’t do much good for the team, specifically the first-team players. It can only be regarded as a group trip, but the schedule is quite busy, and the training is also very reluctant. After coming to China, the players Being busy running around and doing activities is actually not very conducive to pre-season preparations.

However, Manchester City, the biggest competitor in the Premier League in the new season, has also come to China, which makes Hiddink a little more balanced. He knows that Manchester City will be Chelsea's biggest competitor in the new season. Manchester United will soon be in trouble due to Ferguson's retirement and the instability of the lineup. He may not be in contention for the title in the short term.

Several other competitors such as Arsenal, Liverpool, and Tottenham are difficult to threaten Manchester City and Chelsea.

After the trip to Asia, the team returned to London for real preparations for the new season. They invited a British Championship team to play a friendly match at Charlton in London, and then played against Roma and the youth team of Serie A. In the two practice matches, facing Charlton, Chelsea was in poor form after a long journey and tied with the opponent 0:0. However, they regained some form against Roma and defeated the opponent 2:1. It was the pre-season match against the youth team. In the last game, facing their little brothers at the Cobham base, the Chelsea first team defeated the youth team with a score of 4:1.

In the new season, Chelsea will participate in the English Community Shield and the European Super Cup. Their opponents are Wigan Athletic and Basel from the Swiss Super League respectively.

These two teams won the English FA Cup and the Europa League respectively last season, and their championship journeys are also more interesting, because neither team is an absolute favorite for the championship, and both were very passive in the finals. One side, but they were the ones who finally took the crown.

Wigan Athletic defeated the powerful Manchester City 1:0 in the FA Cup final, which directly led to the dismissal of Italian coach Mancini. This year, the Blue Moon team led by Mancho achieved nothing. The FA was originally considered to be a sure winner. The cup was also upset, which made the oil dads who were still a little bit embarrassed to make an immediate decision. Mancini was dismissed from get out of class, effective immediately.

What’s more interesting about champions Wigan Athletic is that they were relegated from the Premier League last season. They are a Championship team in the new season, but because they won the FA Cup, they still have to play in the Europa League. The new season is still Community Shield participants.

Another team, Basel, is even more interesting. On the way to the final, they defeated the powerful Liverpool. In the semi-finals, they drew 1:1 with Liverpool in two rounds. In the end, they eliminated their opponent in a penalty shootout, and then in Facing Benfica in the final, many people thought that Benfica's Gutmann curse would be broken today, because they took a two-goal lead from the opening thirty minutes, but were eventually dragged into overtime by Basel. In the 108th minute, Basel's Egyptian youngster Mohamed Salah scored a decisive victory and won the intercontinental championship for the first time in history!

This made Benfica fans dumbfounded. Unexpectedly, Gutman's spirit in heaven still hated Benfica. The curse is still in effect!

The Gutman Curse comes from Bela Gutman, the famous Hungarian coach who led Benfica to European championships twice fifty years ago. He has coached AC Milan, Sao Paulo, Porto, Benfica and other giants.

This Hungarian who was born at the end of the last century uses two words to describe him: arrogant and radical. He is somewhat similar to the later Portuguese madman Mourinho. He rarely coached a team for more than two seasons, but he is full of honors. , the most well-known thing now is the famous Gutman curse. When he led Benfica to the Champions League twice, Gutman's request for a salary increase was rejected. The Hungarian resigned angrily and said this in an interview with the media. Bottom line: "Benfica will not win the European Championship in the next 100 years!"

This sentence has been half fulfilled. In the following fifty years, Benfica entered the intercontinental finals seven times and failed. AC Milan, Inter Milan, Manchester United, Anderlecht, PSV Eindhoven and now Basel all stepped on them. shoulders to win the championship.

Gutman himself died in 1981 at the age of 82. In order to break the curse, before the 1990 Champions League final against AC Milan, Portuguese legendary star Eusebio even personally visited Gutman’s grave to pray for forgiveness, but in the end he still Failed to win AC Milan.

Last season was also the case. Many Benfica fans came to Gutman's tomb to pray and worship, hoping that he could take back the curse. But in the end, Salah's killer kill left Benfica fans speechless.

To put it simply, the two final opponents are not very strong. They won the championship last season with a lot of luck and even curse elements. Wigan Athletic and Basel are both weak sides in the final. Chelsea may not need to defeat them. It took too much effort, it can be said that it is an experience package delivered to your door, and you can get two championship medals with little gold content.

Of course, the championship that comes to your door should not be wasted. At the new Wembley Stadium, Chelsea defeated Wigan Athletic, which has been relegated this season, with a score of 5:1 and easily won the English Community Shield Championship!
