Midfielder

Chelsea defeated Arsenal in a straightforward manner. This may be a complete disappointment for Arsenal fans. They were originally the mortal enemy of London City, and now they are overwhelmed by the opponent.

Last season, they were overtaken by the opponent in the league and finally lost the championship title, which made Arsenal fans a little melancholy. Now in the first game of the new season, they also suffered a miserable defeat.

Especially in the first 45 minutes of the game, the game was simply pushed down and ravaged by the opponent.

Arsenal fans have not seen Arsenal lose so badly with a full lineup for a long time. Under the fierce attack of Chelsea, it seems that Arsenal's retreat is a bit too fast.

Not only Arsenal fans are a little depressed, but teams like Tottenham Hotspur, which are also gathered in London, really need to weigh it now. After all, it is really dangerous to compete with Chelsea for territory.

To say something that makes these London teams very depressed, Chelsea's appeal in London has gradually surpassed Tottenham and Arsenal. Maybe one day they will become the most popular stadium in London. The day when Stamford Bridge is proud of itself in London seems not far away.

Although Arsenal lost so easily, many commentators still believe that this season's Premier League will not be the only one to stand out, especially when Chelsea needs to fight on multiple fronts, which will distract a lot of energy.

And compared with last season, although Chelsea's lineup is strong now, it is dragged down by the World Cup qualifiers. It is estimated that their physical condition will not be too good, and they may even fall behind in the middle of the league.

This is the biggest hidden danger of big clubs. Not only Chelsea, but also the top four teams in the Premier League have this hidden worry. The arrival of the World Cup year has indeed made them a little overwhelmed.

They did not have a good rest throughout the summer, and they were not considered to have completed the assembly until a month before the start of the game.

If there are some injuries in the middle of the season due to the transition of the schedule and the national team's game tasks, there may be some injuries. If that happens, it is very likely that a team will lose its competitiveness.

Especially for a club like Chelsea, where almost all the players are national team members, if they are unlucky, there may be a large number of injuries, or many people may have physical problems.

Moreover, Chelsea's schedule this season is more frequent than in the past. They not only have to prepare for the double-line defense, but also have to compete for more trophies. This overload operation may overwhelm the players.

Mourinho made personnel adjustments in the second half of the Community Shield, not only because they were already leading by a large score and there was no need to slaughter the opponents, but also because he was protecting the main players.

After all, after a busy summer, even if Chelsea prepared training to reserve physical strength for them, Faria is not God, and what he can do is just to help them recover as soon as possible.

Mourinho uses the most practical way to protect the players as much as possible and prevent them from overwork.

Especially for the main players who have experienced national team games, Mourinho tries to keep them under pressure during unnecessary time periods, and Lin Yi is one of the key players to be protected by the team.

Now everyone can see that after a season of running-in, Lin Yi has become the absolute core of this team. As long as there is no injury, his main position is almost unshakable.

However, such an absolute core also has a problem, that is, after he left the field, Chelsea's offensive blocking always lacked a little agility. It seems that no matter who it is, it is impossible to replace this kid's role.

Obviously, Mourinho has realized what kind of test he will face this season. Before those difficult moments come, he does not want to make any mistakes. Reducing trouble is the best choice.

However, most people can still recognize a fact. If Chelsea really fights with you for a championship, then your best way is to avoid them, otherwise you will definitely suffer in the end.

Just like Wenger chose to give up in the second half of the Community Shield, even if you fight with the opponent, you may not win this confrontation. At this time, it is better to be single and admit defeat.

And before Chelsea wants to make history, if you really want to stop him, it is likely that you will be unlucky. Wenger saw this clearly when he was on the sidelines, so he chose to avoid it.

This is not a cowardly act, and the old French man knows that this kind of game is not worth fighting for.

The most important thing is that even if Arsenal fights with the opponent, it may not really beat the opponent.

Chelsea is no longer the upstarts ridiculed by reporters and media. After winning the Champions League, they are already considered the new upstarts of the Premier League, and the explosive power of the upstarts is terrifying.

Even if they encounter a strong enemy like Arsenal, they can use their own strength to suppress the opponent.

Although the old French man also congratulated Chelsea on the four crowns at the end of the game, he did not give in in front of the reporters and maintained a high morale.

"The Community Shield is just a prelude, a duel to decide the outcome. We lost today because the opponent's performance is indeed better than ours, but this does not mean anything."

"The cup is just a 100-meter race, but the league is a marathon. What will happen in a few months of competition is probably unpredictable, so Arsenal will not give up the championship."

"And I believe Chelsea is under more pressure than Arsenal now, just like we tried to defend the title last season. In the Premier League, teams that want to defend the title will encounter a lot of resistance."

The French old man is very cunning, and Mourinho knows this very well. After losing the Community Shield, Wenger did not forget to remind him that Chelsea's current situation is the same as his last season.

They were also very strong at the beginning of the season last season, but how did it end? Many people saw it.

This is the difficulty of defending the championship. Once there is any slackness, it is likely to be doomed.

Especially after a brilliant season, there will naturally be a decline. Not only are the opponents difficult, but there will also be inertia within the team. This is the most troublesome problem for Mourinho.

Fortunately, these guys in Chelsea have a desire to defend the title.

It is mainly because Lin Yi and the main players are not used to losing. When winning has become a habit, it is really difficult for them to accept failure. No one likes to see themselves dejected.

But this season they have to face many more challenges than last season. This is the case in the football world. When you are the king, there will definitely be a bunch of people behind you who want to pull you down.

There are too many teams that want to overthrow the league champion, not to mention Chelsea is still the four-time champion. Killing them is to prove themselves. This season's league journey will definitely be a series of fierce battles for the Blues.

Although Wenger still congratulated Chelsea on the four-time champion in the end, everyone can see that the old guy is now ready to continue to follow Chelsea and be a cunning old wolf.

Just like Chelsea followed Arsenal last season and put pressure on the opponent.

Now it's just a role reversal. Chelsea is the defending champion, and Arsenal is playing the role of the chaser.

It's not so easy to be a good leader in a league. Now Mourinho can also see a kind of gunpowder smell from the headlines of those newspapers after the game. That is a signal that the beacon is about to be lit.

You can say that Wenger is just talking nonsense, especially when he is facing Mourinho, he can't show weakness at all, but many people are not optimistic about Arsenal's prospects of winning the championship after watching the game.

Compared with last season, Arsenal's situation has not improved much, especially the overall lineup is even weaker than before, and the departure of Vieira and Cole has caused them great harm.

Without Vieira, they have one less barrier in the midfield. How did Lin Yi torture Flamini in this game? If Vieira was there, maybe they would not be so passive in the midfield battle.

Although many people know that it is not easy to limit Lin Yi now.

Let's take a look at Ashley Cole's performance in this game. The main left back of the England team, who finally got his satisfactory salary, completely stared at his former teammates in the game against his old club.

Neither Pires nor Ljungberg took any advantage on the left side guarded by Ashley Cole. Even Henry's two breakthroughs were destroyed because of this guy's defense.

Mourinho gave Ashley Cole absolute freedom and trust, and this guy also repaid this trust with his eye-catching performance. I don't know what Wenger was feeling at the time.

Although Arsenal also got Gallas, compared with a veteran who has begun to decline at the peak, Chelsea's investment in Ashley Cole this time was not wasted.

Maybe Wenger really regretted not adding one more rule in the deal, that is, he was not allowed to play against his old club. Otherwise, he would not have watched the main defender he had trained personally participate in assists on the wing as usual when he couldn't open the situation in the first half.

Many media mentioned this issue in their post-match reports. Perhaps many people said that Chelsea's policy of buying players is just plundering, and they don't have the so-called foundation of those big clubs.

This kind of team supported by buying players will not last long. They have no history. No one is willing to stay in the team when the team is in a low ebb. If Abramovich leaves, the team will fall apart.

But many media also made another interpretation. Chelsea's policy of buying players is indeed a bit overbearing, but you can't deny that such a large investment by Abramovich is a good thing for the team.

He can quickly build an iron army for the club. For such a non-giant team, only if the record is good will people pay attention to it. Using the bought players to compete for the championship is the most reliable strategy. Although it costs a lot, it is the best choice to gather popularity for the club in the short term.

And don't forget that some media have noticed Chelsea's changes this season before the start of the season, although Kenyon is still continuing his bloody acquisition war in the transfer market.

But in the construction of the reserve team, Chelsea has started, and they are no slower than those old strong teams in building a youth army. Chelsea really wants to build a dynasty.

The arrival of the Portuguese youth army godfather can be said to be unexpected to many people, including the Portuguese media who did not get any news before, but when this poaching action was exposed, many people have smelled Chelsea's hidden ambitions. These guys actually think very far.

If Kenyon's endless tossing in the transfer market is to confuse everyone's attention, then the arrival of Aurelio Pereira is to rob the future resources of those wealthy clubs.

Kenyon used money to plunder famous stars and dismantle the golden combinations of competitors.

But Aurelio Pereira has done even better things at Chelsea than Kenyon. In addition to continuing to train Lin Yi, he also listed a large number of young players he has been paying attention to in recent years.

Many of them are still in other continents, and many European clubs are also eyeing them.

But the conditions and generous treatment offered by Chelsea are the most difficult to resist for those young talents. Even many potential stocks that are favored by wealthy clubs have been poached by Chelsea without any scruples.

Aurelio Pereira won't give Mourinho a lot of talent right away, but the age group of those players he chooses can completely create an echelon for Chelsea that can last ten years.

"If I can stay in this position for ten more years, then I will let Chelsea have a team like Manchester United's 1992 class. As long as there is time, I think this is definitely not just a fantasy."

When Aurelio Pereira said this to Mourinho, the list he held in his hand had already accumulated more than 170 players of the right age. There is likely to be a second Lin among them. wing.

"I can't guarantee you that there are lunatics like that kid Lin Yi here, but the little guys who come out from my hands are not many cowards. They will all be very good."

Mourinho does not need to examine the credibility of Aurelio Pereira's words, because from the day he decided to invite him, he has never doubted his ability.

If Chelsea wants to create its own era, it needs such a reserve force. Buying people can never create a dynasty, but such a reserve force can definitely create a piece of history.

When Arsenal and Manchester United have already felt this pressure, other opponents in the league may not pay attention to his echelon construction when they see Chelsea, because when this team comes in front of them By the time, they no longer have any energy to think about anything else.

As Chelsea's first opponent in the league this season, newly promoted Wigan Athletic has publicly stated before the start of the game that even if they are playing at home, there is no guarantee that they can keep the goal.

Six people are making their debut in the Premier League. The total value of the entire team is not as high as that of Wright alone. This is the current situation of Wigan Athletic. Their most expensive player is worth just three million.

But such a worth may only be half of Lampard's salary. Faced with such a disparity in strength, even bookmakers showed little interest. The only thing left to win or lose is the final score.

Many Chelsea players also said before the game that they would use victory to start the team's journey to defend the title, and they would use practical actions to tell their opponents that Chelsea would continue to dominate the Premier League championship.

Before the game started, nearly 10,000 Chelsea fans rushed to the away game. For them, this game was the starting point of the new season and an important moment for them to witness the start of their title defense journey.

It is estimated that no one will think that anything unexpected will happen in such a game. Winning is a sure thing.

But it was such a duel. After the ninety-minute game, the score on the big screen was only 1-0. Chelsea had 26 shots in the game, and only Crespo succeeded at the last moment.

This was still stoppage time. Lin Yi sacrificed his ankle to give Crespo a chance to win. Otherwise, the defending champion's first game of the season would probably have been a draw.

No wonder that after the game, Mourinho walked up to the opponent's head coach Jewell and whispered something. After the game, someone broke the news that the Portuguese said, "The result is unfair, I was lucky to win."

Not only did he say this to the opponent's coach, in an interview after the game, Mourinho also admitted that his team did not show the calmness it should have in this game, but was very impatient.

"Normally, when you lose a game, it's a wake-up call for you, and it was a wake-up call for us today. Although we didn't lose points, this game has made us alert."

Although Chelsea has been dominant throughout the game, Mourinho has discovered that this damn defending champion not only makes the opponent motivated, but also puts pressure on his own players.

Including Lin Yi, when he was organizing an attack on the court, he was a little impatient, as if if he didn't eat his opponent in one bite, he would be sorry for the championship title on his head. This kind of emotion was terrible.

But it was because Chelsea had such a life-threatening lunatic like Lin Yi that they were able to hit a fatal blow in stoppage time, but the price was a bit high. Lin Yi's ankle had already been injured by the opponent's tackle.

According to Faria and the team doctor, this kid must rest for more than ten days, otherwise, this damn ankle will cause who knows what kind of trouble. Chelsea's journey to defend the title does not seem to be as simple as they thought. , the newly promoted team has taught them a lesson, and the road ahead will be even more bumpy.

Defending the title has never been an easy task, but the three-pointer that Lin Yi took back with gritted teeth also showed the fierceness of the Chelsea team. "It was okay last season, and we have no problem this season."

Lin Yi's words when facing the camera were very powerful. Just like what he said, don't say I can't do it, otherwise, there will be a day when you will regret it. The counterattack of the little madman is not only fierce.
