The derby between the two Milan giants and the match between Chelsea and Bayern Munich started at the same time, but according to incomplete statistics, the number of fans watching the live broadcast of the match on TV was three times less than that of the Milan match.

This is only the statistics of Sky TV. If TV stations like ESPN are included, the gap is estimated to be even greater. Anyway, there is no need to be surprised at the difference of several million viewers between the two games.

Even English colleagues said privately that this is unavoidable. After all, the number of fans of the two Milan giants around the world is too large, and this gap cannot be made up in a day or two.

Especially in those areas where football is not well developed, the appeal of the two Milan giants cannot be underestimated. In Asia, their number of fans is more than ten times or even dozens of times that of Chelsea. This data is enviable.

Kenyon even considered whether to take the team to Asia in the summer because of this matter, especially because Chelsea also has Lin Yi in the team. This kid is really popular in Asia, especially in China.

If the huge Asian market can be snatched, it will definitely be a feast for Chelsea's promotion.

But this proposal was suppressed by Mourinho when it was first proposed. In Mourinho's mind, the commercial behavior of those clubs is not as good as the team's performance.

Anyway, if Kenyon wants to make money in Asia, Mourinho will not be able to pass this test, especially the idea of ​​this guy to get Lin Yi, which will probably be slapped to death on paper by Mourinho.

But now, apart from this method, Kenyon really can't think of any good way to improve the club's popularity.

Even Kenyon, who has always been arrogant, once said that if Chelsea wants to surpass such traditional giants in global popularity and influence, it will take at least ten years, or even longer.

There is no way, this is the club's foundation that determines everything. Although Chelsea just celebrated its 100th birthday a few days ago, compared with those old clubs, its honors are really thin and pitiful.

If Chelsea had not secured the league title and the League Cup this season, the club's Hall of Fame would have looked even more desolate, and the small number of trophies would have made Abramovich a little embarrassed.

But this is not something that can be rushed. Those giants have gone through hundreds of years of tempering to fill their clubs with trophies representing honor. Now Chelsea can only be regarded as the beginning stage.

However, according to the ferocious state of these beasts, Kenyon is confident that the club's Hall of Fame will no longer look so empty in a few years. Of course, this also requires Mourinho and the players to work harder.

So now Kenyon is in favor of any acquisition plan of Mourinho, and even this guy will be smart to supplement Chelsea, but he himself does not know whether the people he bought are really useful.

But those fans who are still watching the two Milan giants fighting on the field will definitely regret that they missed the battle between Bayern and Chelsea. This duel at Stamford Bridge was incredibly hot.

There is no need to say much about the lob shot at the beginning of the game. If it had gone in, it would have been one of the best goals in the Champions League this season. However, the climax of the game was not this shot, but the crazy confrontation that began afterwards.

Brito is the unlucky guy with the worst luck in the world. This is what he thinks. Of course, there is a reason for this. After all, Brito is not a person who likes to abuse himself. He is not crazy enough to despise himself.

But this damn game made him crazy, especially Bayern Munich's continuous attack, which had created three threatening shots in front of Chelsea's goal within five minutes. How could Brito still sit still?

It was a miracle that this guy didn't get angry. You know, even Mourinho, who was sitting outside the game, frowned. After all, Chelsea was rarely suppressed by opponents with such crazy attacks at home.

Even in the last round against Barcelona, ​​Chelsea and the opponent had offensive and defensive battles. Except for being at a disadvantage in ball possession, they did not suffer in the number of attacks. They have never been so embarrassed as now.

Such a passive situation made many Chelsea fans unconsciously reduce their shouting. Their eyes kept staring at the football that was always swinging in their own half, fearing that the damn football would get into the gate guarded by Cech if they were not careful. This feeling of tension was also the first time for them.

Of course, the craziest thing was definitely not this. Before Brito had time to make his first roar on the sidelines, Chelsea's counterattack had already made those fans who were still hanging their hearts burst into shouting.

When the first half reached the sixth minute, Bayern Munich's attack was in full swing, but Chelsea's second attack had already started quietly, and even the Germans did not notice it.

Perhaps only Magath noticed Chelsea's action on the sidelines, but before he could loudly remind his players, the opponent had already moved, and this move was a rush at a speed like the collapse of the sky and the crack of the earth.

Originally, it was an offensive opportunity for Bayern Munich. Hargreaves successfully intercepted Lampard's ball in the midfield, and no one came forward to interfere with him at this time, so he took the opportunity to dribble across the half court.

Before Thiago came up to interfere, Hargreaves made an accurate through ball to the top of the penalty area, creating a good shooting opportunity for Ballack, who made another fierce long shot.

But I don't know if this guy is going to fight to the death with Cech today. Anyway, his powerful shot was once again pressed firmly on the goal line by Cech's unbreakable hands.

And before Hargreaves retreated to his own half, Cech had already thrown a hand-thrown ball in the penalty area with a distance of more than 40 meters. This time his pass directly passed the midfield of Bayern Munich.

No one expected Cech to do this suddenly, because this guy rarely used hand-thrown balls to launch attacks. You know, that was generally Kahn's habit, but this time the Czech's sudden launch made Bayern a little confused.

Hargreaves, Frings, Ballack and Ze Roberto, these guys all passed the center circle without knowing it. Hargreaves was just defending Lampard and others in the backcourt.

But after he intercepted the ball from Lampard's feet, this guy also crossed the midfield to pass the ball. Now Bayern Munich's midfield suddenly became a vacuum zone, and even Magath was a little confused on the sidelines.

The midfield, which had always been dominant, suddenly had no one. Who to blame? They can only blame Bayern Munich for attacking too fiercely just now. They forgot that this is Stamford Bridge and Chelsea is also very dangerous.

Lampard, who was just intercepted by the opponent, has now become the arrow of the attack. Cech's hand throw was directly given to his feet, and now there is no one around him to defend. In front of him, only Lucio and Kovacs, the central defender combination, are responsible for defense, and Sagnol, the restless guy, also assists.

In the backcourt of Bayern Munich, apart from a pair of central defenders, there was only Lizarazu still defending the wing, plus Kahn who was roaring in front of the goal, but Chelsea had four players starting to attack.

When the four Chelsea players rushed forward at the same time, Magath had a bad feeling. Three to four, Bayern Munich was definitely at a disadvantage. Such a thin defense line could not withstand the opponent's attack. Hargreaves and Frings were desperately chasing back, but the distance was indeed a bit too far.

The one who made Magath's heart tremble the most was probably the one who was dribbling the ball, Lin Yi! The kid who made Magath tremble with fear after the opening suddenly appeared in front of Magath again, and he was rushing towards the central defense line of Bayern Munich at a fast speed, and Lampard's pass was directly delivered to his feet.

Lucio was the first to react. The rich game experience made this Brazilian feel the danger. Moreover, with his hot temper, it was impossible for him to stand in the penalty area and wait for the opponent to rush over. He rushed out almost immediately.

Knock him down outside the penalty area! This was what Lucio was thinking when he rushed out. He knew that Lin Yi was a dangerous person. The lob shot at the beginning was a clear proof. Therefore, Lucio, with a fierce expression, did not intend to let Lin Yi have the opportunity to break through.

But at the moment when Lucio rushed out, Lin Yi suddenly stopped his forward steps. Before Lucio rushed over, he made a straight and flat pass to the left in an instant, although he was knocked down on the grass by Lucio's strong physique.

But the pass had been sent to the empty space after Lucio rushed out. When Magath saw this scene on the sidelines, Robben had already completed a high-speed cut in on the wing. Lizarazu, an experienced French veteran, failed to catch the running Dutchman.

Cut in, adjust, Robben shook off Lizarazu's pull, and after a slight adjustment, he used his left foot to make a signature beautiful arc in the penalty area. Kahn, who had already chosen to leave the goal, could only stretch his body in the air at this moment.

He hoped that his fingertips could reach the football, but he still underestimated the arc of Robben's shot. When the arc bypassed Kahn's fingertips and went directly into the goal, the Bayern Munich defenders barely ran into their own penalty area.

"A perfect goal! GOAL!!! Robben's shot opened the stalemate for Chelsea! Even Kahn had no chance to stop this beautiful goal!", the commentator on the scene roared, and tens of thousands of Chelsea supporters cheered with him.

After they were frightened for a few minutes, Chelsea used their signature counterattack to tear open the opponent's defense line, and the whole process was so neat that the Germans could not resist. From hand-throwing the ball to launch the attack to Robben's shot and score, they only took less than ten seconds!

This piercing blow made Magath's heart hurt a little. He even sucked his back teeth inadvertently. Chelsea scored the first goal in the first six minutes. This embarrassing start was really fatal.

But the blood from Chelsea's blow had not completely dissipated, and Magath had not had time to remind his players to cheer up, Lin Yi sprinkled salt on the wound that had just been torn.

Bayern Munich launched a fiercer siege in the five or six minutes after losing the ball. This time, Chelsea was like an iron fortress, shrinking the entire defense line tightly and leaving no gaps for the opponent.

But just when Bayern Munich's attack was pouring down like a storm, Chelsea counterattacked again!

When Ballack just received the pass knocked back by Guerrero in the center circle and had not stopped yet, he didn't even have time to look at the running positions of his teammates. The football he just stepped on was shoveled out by a figure.

This shovel was very fierce, and the inertia almost made Ballack fall on the grass. When he reacted, he only saw the back of a person wearing Chelsea's No. 20 uniform disappearing.

It's that kid again! Ballack barely stabilized his body, and while chasing back, he cursed in his heart. He was accidentally intercepted by Lin Yi in the midfield again, and was almost knocked down by the opponent!

Serial blockades. This time, Bayern Munich's backcourt players were not as weak as before. Frings, Hargreaves and others all stayed at their posts. When they saw Lin Yi rushing over, the two guys were already ready. They fiercely surrounded him from both sides. Judging from the posture, they were ready to close the door and attack directly.

Originally, this was a foolproof defensive formation. After all, in addition to the two of them, there were Lucio and his men waiting behind. Even if Lin Yi broke through, he would probably face the fate of being surrounded by many people.

But these people were obviously speculating according to common sense, but when did that ghostly kid play according to common sense?

Surrounded by four people, even when Lin Yi was surrounded by four people, he seemed to be able to see every corner of the court. When Frings and Lucio had already blocked in front of him, this kid could actually find a passing route!

With a low pass, Lin Yi saw a gap from nowhere. He found a suitable pass point in the crowd. The low pass went between Frings' legs, and Lucio also tried what it meant to pass through the crotch for free. The football squeezed out of the crowd like a ghost.

Drogba! When Kahn saw where the football was going, he first saw Drogba who had already cut into the penalty area. Although Sagnol was already pulling this guy, the physical difference made it impossible for the Frenchman to hold back the African elephant who had already rushed up. The strong Ivorian volleyed the ball.

When the football whizzed into the gate guarded by Kahn again, the German number one goalkeeper almost closed his eyes in frustration, twice! And all of them were shots only six or seven meters away from the goal!

How to save this! Damn defense! Kahn lay on the grass helplessly listening to the cheers from Stamford Bridge again.

Two to zero! A score that made Magath frown. . .

(Are the Lakers playing tightrope walking? Preparing to do the same as last year? Trying a thrilling game? I don’t know how serious Kobe’s injury is, but Paul’s triple-double is impressive, not bad!)
