Two consecutive wins cannot change the outside world's view of Chelsea's utilitarianism, but these critical voices have not affected the Blues' game momentum at all.

After defeating Manchester United and Birmingham at Stamford Bridge, Mourinho led his Blues to defeat Crystal Palace 2:0 away in the same neat and tidy way. He still had the kind of control that made people feel desperate. Crystal Palace did not get a decent chance in the whole game.

Even their head coach admitted helplessly after the game, "From the first second of this game, we had no chance to win."

This is not Crystal Palace showing weakness in front of Chelsea, but everyone who watched the game understood that the head coach's words were not discouraging.

One blockade after another, extending from the front court to the front of the goal, the steel defense forged by Mourinho is simply unbreakable.

Compact formation, super personal ability, and most importantly, every Chelsea player now has a spirit of a desperado. Under Mourinho's command, everyone must fight hard, otherwise, they will not even have the chance to enter the 16-man roster. This is Chelsea's discipline.

Anyone who dares to show slackness on the court must pay a high price. Smerkin, the unlucky guy, is about to get out.

Not to mention Mourinho is unkind, Ferreira performed poorly in the game against Birmingham and was also put on the bench in the third game.

If you are in good shape, you can play. If you are not in good shape, Mourinho will not care whether you are a big name or how many honors you have behind you, he will still take you.

With this guy's iron fist, Chelsea is now completely integrated into an army with only one voice. How can this defense be weak?

Even the offensive ability of Manchester United can't bite through the defense, do you still expect Crystal Palace, a team that often hovers in the relegation zone, to break through their goal? It's better to go to bed and stop dreaming. Even the fans of Crystal Palace didn't dare to expect their team to beat the Blues at home.

In the three games, only Manchester United caused some trouble to Chelsea in the second half of the first game, and it was only that little.

In the other two games, whether it was Birmingham or Crystal Palace, there was no threatening shot at all, and even the number of times they scored in the first half was limited.

Of course, many media have also objectively analyzed it. After all, the level of Birmingham and Crystal Palace can only be regarded as the middle and lower reaches in the Premier League. Their offensive ability is not strong to begin with. It is not surprising that they failed to break Chelsea's goal, and Chelsea did not earn too many goals from them.

Only four goals were scored in three games. This offensive intensity is not worth mentioning in the eyes of many critics, and can even be regarded as the middle and lower level.

Even a mid-level team like Manchester City scored five goals in the first three games. Chelsea's offensive ability has not been fully reflected.

They even scored fewer goals than in the first three games last year. Many people think that this is Mourinho's utilitarian and conservative tactics that limit goals.

"Even an Italian coach like Ranieri knows how to attack better than the Portuguese. Chelsea can only defend and counterattack now."

There are many such voices. The football sections of many newspapers have used different arguments to denounce the utilitarian football trend set off by Mourinho.

Many people believe that Mourinho's style of play is killing the viewing of football. He has made football games lose their passion and only physical confrontation is left.

But now Mourinho needs to consider not how to cater to the views of the mainstream media, but that he must solve the team's offensive problems.

For him, winning is the most important thing. Four goals in three games don't matter. As long as they can get nine league points, it's enough.

You know, now in the entire Premier League, only Chelsea and Arsenal have maintained a record of three wins, and the rest of the teams can only be a chaser.

However, compared with Arsenal, Chelsea is obviously at the other extreme. They have achieved three consecutive victories with extremely strong defense.

Arsenal, on the other hand, relied on its strong offensive ability in the frontcourt to destroy the defenses of other teams. In the first three games, the Gunners from the Arsenal scored a total of twelve goals, and in the second game, they completed a five-goal reversal.

Not only that, these Gunners also set another new record in the Premier League. They have remained unbeaten in the league for forty-three games.

The record of the English top league of forty-two consecutive rounds of unbeaten created by Nottingham Forest from 1977 to 1979 was broken by Wenger.

You rarely encounter Arsenal in such a strong state at the beginning of the league. They always seemed a little slow in the past, but this time Wenger did not let the team continue to heat up slowly. He even said in an interview with the French media that he hoped to be a leader this season.

This old guy really did what he said. In three rounds of the league, with twelve goals, they relied on the advantage of goal difference to lead Chelsea.

Because Wenger has seen the horror of Chelsea from the match between Chelsea and Manchester United, he doesn't want to fall behind at the beginning this time, especially since the two teams are both in London, losing to their city rivals is indeed not a pleasant thing.

Although Arsenal is now in a very strong state, Wenger knows very well that the derby battles between London teams this season will be very cruel. Tottenham, Chelsea, Arsenal, Everton, Crystal Palace, and Fulham, London looks to be heading for a big melee.

Especially with Chelsea supported by a lot of money, this strong attempt to usurp power has become obvious. Wenger must be very energetic.

Otherwise, the arsenal he built may be like Manchester United and will be knocked to the ground by the fierce and brutal Blues.

While many people are criticizing Chelsea's utilitarian and conservative style of play, no one will find fault with the team led by Wenger because they are too perfect.

Henry, Pires, Van Persie, Bergkamp, ​​these offensive players have supported the backbone of the Arsenal team. Even Sky TV has included it as the most powerful contender for the Champions League this season. Arsene Wenger The attack line trained by the beasts really shows their sharpness.

"When Chelsea and Arsenal play at the same time, I will without a doubt choose to watch the Gunners perform rather than watch a group of muscular men."

Even former England center Lineker, who has always taken a neutral position in TV commentary, said so frankly on his own show.

But only Wenger knows best how dangerous Chelsea is. There are many offensive lunatics in the Premier League, but few are so solid defensively.

Being able to defend Manchester United is enough to make Wenger alert, and he has not conceded a goal in three consecutive games. This kind of control over the game really makes Wenger sweat a lot. Even he himself can't figure it out. , whether this group of gunners in his arsenal can break Chelsea's defense.

Perhaps this assumption can only be resolved when the two teams actually meet, but now even Wenger himself has no idea.

It can be said that the offensive line he built is somewhat indestructible now, but whether it can knock on Chelsea's goal still needs to be verified in the game.

But Henry and Pires, the main players of the Arsenal team, have expressed their views on Chelsea on different occasions, showing their willingness to challenge.

But now Wenger's worries are not without. Behind his team's strong offensive power, there is a not very stable defense line. Although they scored 12 goals in three games, they also conceded four. goals, and against a team like Middlesbrough, they still conceded three goals in a row.

If Arsenal's defense performed so poorly against Manchester United or Chelsea, even Wenger didn't know what would happen.

Although Wenger did not compliment his opponents, this does not prevent some people from comparing him with Ferguson and Mourinho. It is just that the Portuguese who often chokes reporters at press conferences is not keen on those reporters giving him In the game of finding an opponent, he still has many problems to face now.

Although he won the game, Mourinho still found a lot of problems for the team in these three games. Although there were not many defensive problems, they were not without them. It is just that compared to other positions, the defense is considered weak. The worry-free thing is mainly because there is something wrong with the striker combination that he has spent the most time on.

In the three games that have been played, the striker has only contributed one goal. Only against Birmingham, Drogba scored a goal in front of the goal.

In the game against Manchester United, Lin Yi broke the deadlock, and in the game against Crystal Palace, it was Lampard who scored a goal in each half. However, the striker Chelsea spent a lot of money to build did not seem to be fully in shape, at least in the game. In terms of the number of goals scored, they did not show their worth of tens of millions.

Especially Drogba, who spent nearly 30 million euros to transfer, only scored one goal in three games and his condition seemed to be very average.

It is not that Lin Yi and Lampard have not created good shooting opportunities for Drogba, but the African elephant always seems very impatient in handling the final kick.

In the game against Birmingham, although he scored a goal, this guy also wasted a lot of opportunities in front of the goal, missing at least three must-goals.

Mourinho asked Brito to help Drogba adjust his mentality in private. He understood that the high price has now become a burden for Drogba.

The worth of 30 million euros is indeed a pressure, especially when seeing Lin Yi perform well on the court, Drogba will feel that pressure surrounding him. As long as he makes another mistake on the court, this guy's The expression will be very unnatural, which is really bad.

The more Drogba wants to perform well, the easier it is for him to have problems when playing on the court. Sometimes he will definitely miss the goal due to his emotional imbalance during training. Mourinho can only She lamented that not everyone has a big heart like that guy Lin Yi.

Anyway, that kid never feels pressure. As long as he plays, he will always be in a state of excitement. Stage fright? Please, how is that possible.

For that shameless little brat, the only thing he's timid about is that Mourinho won't let him play. Otherwise, no one can stop him.

Drogba's condition is still being adjusted, but the rest of the forward players have also performed very poorly, which makes Mourinho a bit melancholy. Kežman doesn't even have a chance to play now, and Mutu is only playing briefly. In his playing time, he occasionally showed his talents, but he never scored a goal.

Both Robben and Duff have suffered recurring injuries, so in the past two games, it is best not to give them the task of activating the striker.

The craziest thing about Chelsea's attack now is their midfielder. They scored four goals and the midfielder took care of three of them. This offensive ability is really amazing.

But Mourinho himself also knows why the midfielder is so crazy. Although Lampard recognizes Lin Yi's ability on the court, this guy will not willingly give up his main position. In the game against Crystal Palace, This guy justified his ability with two goals.

In the first two games, Lin Yi assisted and scored once, while Lampard contributed two goals very simply. The competition has become increasingly fierce.

But the competition between these two guys doesn't involve any bad words or discord. Most of the time, they still spend their energy on the court.

But Lin Yi still felt a little unhappy that Mourinho didn't put him on the court in the third game. He really wanted to compete with Lampard.

But it was Brito who persuaded the little guy, "The Premier League schedule is too long. If you add the Champions League and the FA Cup, you will never worry about lack of opportunities to play. That guy José is also playing To find the best offensive combination for the team, let him be quiet."

In fact, Lin Yi was not really dissatisfied, but if he was not allowed to play for a few minutes, he would always feel as if his body was rusty.

Although Lin Yi did not play continuously, this does not mean that he will disappear from people's sight. He defeated Manchester United and defeated Birmingham with assists. Lin Yi has become the target of many fans with such eye-catching performance, especially Football pundits who sit in front of cameras and talk.

For them, this season is an era of endless new players in the Premier League, and they are willing to interpret these young people in a critical way.

Not only did Lin Yi shine in his Premier League debut, many teams seemed to have negotiated and introduced their own new generation players, and many of them performed very eye-catchingly. Like Arsenal and Manchester United, young players are now the absolute main force.

Lin Yi's outstanding performance in the first two games has erased many people's doubts about his worth, although some people think that this is just a temporary outburst, and it does not mean that he can continue to play so steadily. , in the world of the Premier League, there have been too many such new stars who have become passers-by.

There are still many voices of criticism from the outside world, but these cannot erase Lin Yi's starlight. Among the newcomers in the Premier League, he is undoubtedly the brightest one.

However, Chelsea is still a team dominated by Mesozoic players, and recruits like Lin Yi are still in the minority, but there are many newbies in the rest of the team.

For example, in Arsenal's last three consecutive winning games, Cesc Fabregas, a Spanish boy, has risen very quickly. When veterans like Pires began to gradually fall out of favor in Wenger's tactical system, this Spanish kid was gradually replaced by Wenger. The boy Ge dug out from the La Masia training camp became the main force.

Moreover, this kid has indeed shown extraordinary skills in the midfield organizational skills. The only thing he lacks now is the control of the field.

Arsenal has produced more than one Cesc Fabregas. Recently, young guys like Van Persie have begun to gain a foothold within the team.

If the current Arsenal team is still dominated by King Henry, then in the next two or three years, Arsenal's young people will become the masters of the team.

It is precisely because of the frequent appearance of these little guys that Wenger has the confidence to say that for veterans over 30 years old, he only signs once a year.

Many British media have also reported that it would not be unusual if Arsenal undergoes a major overhaul during the transfer period next year.

Because Wenger has accumulated enough talented young people, but Wenger himself knows that the boy he wants most has been snatched away.

Compared with Arsenal's rapidly growing young people, Ferguson is also the first to use a large number of newcomers this season, including young players like Rooney and Ronaldo, who have begun to enter the main lineup, such as Fletcher and Fortune. People also began to gradually occupy the sixteen-man roster.

Especially Ronaldo, after his debut season, his explosive trend this season is obvious. In the first three games, he sent a total of two assists. Except for the first game against Chelsea, he Completely outclassed, he performed well in the remaining two games.

Mendes knew why the guy suddenly broke out, because this kid lost to Lin Yi again in the first game, and he was very depressed.

"Damn it, why do I have to stand aside and watch him explode every time I meet that kid, while I have to be a tragic background man!"

This is the motivation for Cristiano Ronaldo to explode. He does not want to become the tragedy of being stepped on by Lin Yi again, so he needs to use actual performance to justify his name.

Manchester United can be considered a blessing to Cristiano Ronaldo and Rooney. It can win two consecutive games precisely because of the strong performance of these two boys on the court.

These batches of newbies have begun to explode in the early stages of the league. It seems that this season’s Premier League will be a chaotic time. Who among these young people, Lin Yi, Cesc Fabregas, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Rooney, can stand on their own? The final place on the championship podium will depend on their own abilities.

The one who can break out of the crowd is the final winner. I wonder if that black-haired kid will become the new conqueror of the Premier League. . .

(I am so depressed. I lost the basketball lottery yesterday. I bet that the Lakers can win, but if they handicap 6.5 points, they will lose. As a result... uh, he won by 7 points!!! I strongly protest. This is definitely a shady deal!!!)
