Midfielder

West Bromwich Albion originally wanted to learn the style of play of Wigan Athletic and Arsenal, and was ready to take one or even three points from Stamford Bridge, but in the end, they only got five goals that made them helpless.

They obviously forgot that no matter how hard the first two games were, Chelsea was the winner in the end.

Even a team as strong as Arsenal would make mistakes at the last moment when facing Chelsea's siege, although they did have some luck in the last moment.

But don't forget that in those two games, it was Chelsea who dominated the offense.

Chelsea's victory is not news now, but in the midst of doubts, they swept away the obscure offense in the first two rounds of games, and defeated the opponent's defense system like crazy at home.

Maybe these guys were almost crazy in the first two rounds, so they started to explode in this game.

It can only be said that West Bromwich Albion came at the wrong time. Not only did they encounter a group of crazy people who were going crazy, but they were also on the opponent's territory, which was actually the most troublesome thing for them.

Amid the shouts of tens of thousands of Chelsea fans, don't expect the terrifying Blues to show mercy to them.

Although West Bromwich Albion is not a strong team, their performance in the first two rounds of games is not bad. At least in defense, they rarely let the opponent take advantage of them, and they can be regarded as playing very stably.

But after Lin Yi's pass played a lullaby for Lampard, Chelsea began to hold the midfield and was not in a hurry to eat up the opponent. They kept looking for a fatal opportunity in the back and forth.

Stable is stable, but in this stability, there is always murderous intent, and every pass is purposeful.

Chelsea played so hard in the first two games because they did not open the scoring account for a long time, which gave the opponent the opportunity to deal with them based on defense, but now everything has changed.

They scored first, and when the opponent's defense was torn apart, don't think that this wound can be healed.

Chelsea's offense will only become more fierce, putting more pressure on West Bromwich's defense.

Lin Yi's effort made the game turn to Chelsea's side from the beginning. They didn't care whether they had an absolute advantage on the field. Anyway, they were leading and it was okay to keep this score.

Anyway, since last season, I don't know how many people have criticized their one-to-zero policy.

But Mourinho had told his players long ago that there was no need to pay attention to those boring voices. Scoring a goal would win, and there was no need to continue attacking. The league standings could only record three points.

After two rounds of games, Mourinho had warned his players more than once in training that there was no need to rush to destroy the opponent. It was enough to take the initiative in the game, and there was no need to attack desperately.

Although Chelsea's control ability in the frontcourt is very strong now, at this time, there is no need to keep expanding the results for the sake of a good score. It is not necessary to win a big victory every time.

This kind of counterattack is what they are best at. Moreover, their midfield interception ability has been greatly enhanced. They do not need to let the opponent attack their defense line to complete the defensive counterattack.

Mourinho's temporary change of 3-5-2 also provided sufficient support for the midfield. Although the back seemed a bit empty, Chelsea's ability to intercept the opponent's attack began to show in the midfield.

Lampard and Gerrard had a wide range of activities behind Drogba, and they could retreat at any time to rob the opponent's back waist, including Drogba, and they could counter-rob on the spot.

And guys like Wright and Robben who were active on the wing could also create trouble for the opponent's full-backs on both sides. Lin Yi could not only pass the ball, but also harass the opponent.

Although this kid's interception skills were still so bad, his sudden tackle could still scare the opponent's offensive players, not to mention that there was Makelele behind Lin Yi to protect him.

This game was also the first time that Mourinho chose to change the formation. In the past, Makelele always wandered behind Lin Yi alone. In this game, Mourinho also threw Essien, the transfer king, to the field. With the protection of Essien and Makelele, the two defensive midfielders, the interception ability of the midfield was further enhanced.

Makelele's interception ability is self-evident. Even with Keane and Vieira last season, the Frenchman could still sit firmly in the main position of the defensive midfielder in the best lineup at the end of the season.

And Essien, the transfer king in the summer, did not live up to his transfer price of nearly 25 million pounds. Although his defensive skills in the defensive midfielder position are not as sophisticated as Makelele, his strong body is enough to support him in the Premier League level confrontation and strangle those who try to surpass him.

Although this is Essien's first appearance in the Premier League after two rounds of games, and it is still at Chelsea's home, this guy is not stage-frightened at all, and he is even more active than Makelele.

This is the physical strength of his prime years. Makelele is known as an iron lung. Now looking at Essien's running distance and physical condition, even if Makelele retires now, Chelsea will not have to worry about not having a defensive midfielder.

Moreover, when attacking, Essien's ability to get in is obviously better than Makelele. This guy also has a good long-range shooting ability. Although the team does not need him to destroy the city, this is also a backup weapon. Maybe it will come in handy at some point, at least it will cause some trouble for the opponent.

Such a double defensive midfielder combination did not make Chelsea appear to be biased towards defense, but instead allowed them to take the initiative in the midfield battle, and the oppressive interceptions made the opponent miserable.

Having two such gates was terrifying enough, and Mourinho deliberately moved Essien's position forward a little, allowing this guy to protect Lin Yi as much as possible and play the advantage of interception.

Lin Yi was a capable person, and now there is an extra Essien to help, and Gerrard and Lampard in front to support. You can imagine how much this kid is like a fish in water, and how happy he is. The opponent's midfield now has no good way to deal with the ghostly Lin Yi.

The miserable offensive players of West Bromwich not only did not stir up any waves at the beginning, but after losing a goal, they found that it was too difficult to attack.

The game has basically entered a vicious circle, that is, Chelsea attacked, but failed to score, and was caught by West Bromwich players. They could only kick the ball away, and had no time to organize an attack.

If the defender was a step slower, the ball might be snatched back by Chelsea players, but the accuracy of the pass can be imagined. The ball that was finally cleared would come back a few seconds later.

West Bromwich's midfield had no chance to control the ball at all. Either it was directly cut off by the opponent's pressing, or there was a mistake in their own pass. Anyway, there was no decent attack.

In the entire first half, West Bromwich's forward got a chance to shoot, but it was because Chelsea fouled and gave the opponent a free kick in the front court, but the shooting distance was more than 30 meters.

Unless West Bromwich can conjure a Beckham to take the penalty, it is not so easy to break through Cech's ten-finger barrier. Facts have also proved that their penalty takers are only suitable for kicking the ball away.

This kind of pressing from the midfield now looks not only terrifying, but also desperate.

This layer of defense can completely trap any opponent to death. If Chelsea can score first, then the game will be completely under their control, leaving no way for the opponent to survive.

And this kind of attack launched after counter-stealing on the spot has an amazing success rate. Less than ten minutes after the first goal, Gerrard scored a goal outside the penalty area after successfully counter-stealing.

One to zero is a blow, two to zero is a destruction, especially when facing such a fierce full-court siege by Chelsea, this kind of pressure can easily make people feel collapsed, and West Bromwich is like this.

The two to zero in the first half crushed West Bromwich's confidence to continue to resist at Stamford Bridge.

Even if their coach yelled at his players in the midfield with a loud voice that could be clearly heard through the door of the locker room, these guys did not have any outstanding performance in the second half.

And after they replaced three players, they did not improve at all. In the first thirty minutes of the second half, Lampard and Drogba scored three goals in a row, and the game became a massacre.

Although Lin Yi didn't score, his pass was a hat trick of assists in this game. If it weren't for the opponent's goal post, this number might have doubled.

Just like the fist he waved after the first goal, he now gave a blow to those who began to criticize Chelsea, and he hit them with a weapon like a mace.

With Lin Yi's crazy performance in the midfield, Chelsea was unstoppable. Losing five goals may be really lucky for West Bromwich. If they were unlucky, they would lose more miserably.

This was really a massacre. In the last fifteen minutes, even Ashley Cole ran into the opponent's penalty area and shot a shot for fun. He almost scored, but the goal post saved them.

But in the face of Chelsea's crazy attack, you really can't ask West Bromwich to do more, but it is really embarrassing to be scored five goals by the opponent so fiercely.

After the game, the head coach of West Bromwich Albion could only use the poor performance and the early goal to cover up his embarrassment, but anyone can see that this game is a standard defeat.

There is no reason to find, Chelsea just killed the opponent with their four-time champion performance.

And West Bromwich Albion should feel lucky that this is not a two-round cup match. They only need to endure the ravage of these 90 minutes and don’t have to think about the next encounter.

Even if there is a chance to meet in the league, it will be more than ten rounds later. Now they don’t have to consider the danger of running into this group of crazy people in the next game. The bad luck should be left to others.

As they expected, the Chelsea team, which has been killing, will not stop.

In the fourth round of the league, although they played away, Tottenham, a derby team in London, still failed to defend their own gate and was killed by Chelsea at White Hart Lane.

Originally, Tottenham Hotspur had been unbeaten in three games at the beginning of the season. Although their record of two wins and one draw was not as impressive as Chelsea's three consecutive wins, they were only two places behind Chelsea in the standings.

Before the battle at White Hart Lane, some Tottenham Hotspur fans even advocated that we should step on the heads of the four-time champions to top the standings! But the cruel facts eventually proved that this was just a delusion.

Although Tottenham's strength has been greatly enhanced after buying Defoe, Davis and England goalkeeper Robinson, they were passive from the beginning when facing Chelsea.

Mourinho did not give this city rival any chance to control the game. Chelsea fired six shots in the first 15 minutes, with Lampard's shovel shot and Drogba's header in front of the goal scoring consecutively.

In the 20th minute of the game, Lin Yi's forced breakthrough in the middle made the Tottenham defenders surrender directly. The kid rushed through the three people in the middle.

Before Robinson attacked, Lin Yi used a light shot that made the England goalkeeper want to hit the ground, completing the final attack, leaving only a very depressed Robinson in front of the goal.

Even Lampard was a little speechless when he hugged Lin Yi. Although Robinson was an opponent, he was also a guy who had been in the national team for so many days. Seeing him being ravaged by Lin Yi, Lampard really didn't know what it would be like if he became Lin Yi's opponent on the court one day.

This question really made his back cold. Lampard looked at Robinson's dejected look and didn't want to become like that one day. Lin Yi was a devil.

Three lightning-fast goals disrupted all the arrangements of the Tottenham team, and this score was maintained until the end of the game. After four rounds of games, Chelsea's steel defense line remained intact.

As many people said, Chelsea is not in its best form now, but such a team that is not in its best form has already made the opponents in the league scratch their heads.

Hayward, a columnist for England's Daily Telegraph, said after the game: In military terms, this is called overwhelming force. In close combat, Chelsea already has an advantage in terms of military strength, and the total value of the substitutes on the bench has reached 70 million pounds. What else can defeat Chelsea?

Natural disaster? Unless the team is destroyed, it is too difficult to knock them down, which is simply despairing.

Will they lose? No team can remain unbeaten all the time, but who can knock them down is really a question. If they can return to their best form, then will they let people live?

I guess this question is not asked by one person, but by all the coaches of the Premier League teams.

Tottenham and West Bromwich are really standard unlucky ghosts. They caught up with the moment when Chelsea needed victory to boost their spirits the most. Compared with them, Sunderland is much luckier.

After defeating Tottenham 3-0, Chelsea's away trip continued, but at the home of the "Black Cats" Sunderland, they did not play the crazy attack with such a big score in the first two games.

But the score of 2-0 is still enough for them to dominate the standings. They won all five games. Although it is not as brilliant as last season, this strong momentum makes those competitors frightened.

Moreover, Chelsea did not play with all the main players in this game. Makelele injured his ankle, but Essien replaced him. Duff was also absent due to injury, but Wright replaced him as the right winger.

Even Terry and Carvalho on the back line were not included in the big list, but this did not delay Mourinho's deployment of troops. The black cats' claws did not have time to scratch Cech this time.

With Chelsea rotating personnel, Lin Yi scored a goal in each half. As an organizer, he seemed to be telling others in this way, don't think that I can't score!

The day before, a few blind guys commented on the list of candidates for the World Footballer of the Year in the column.

They didn't find any fault with Lin Yi's organizational ability, but they thought that it was difficult for Lin Yi to help the team in offense. Apart from the goal in the Champions League final, he didn't have many sharp performances.

As a result, one day later, Lin Yi used two goals to slap these people hard.

When Mourinho saw Lin Yi's fierce performance, he turned his head and said to Brito, "Why don't we let the club pay a few gunmen to find fault with him in the columns of major newspapers? I found that this kid likes to compete with those people. Every time he is criticized, he will explode."

Of course, Lin Yi would never hear this sentence, but the lewd smile on Brito's face was indeed sneaky, and Mourinho's expression was quite improper. Alas, these two guys.

Five consecutive wins, when Chelsea topped the list with such a record, the criticism disappeared automatically.

There is a crazy helmsman who desperately steps on the accelerator of the blue chariot, expecting these bloodthirsty guys to take the initiative to put down their butcher knives? I guess even God himself can't deal with this group of lunatics.

Arsenal and Tottenham have already failed, and now Manchester United, led by Ferguson, is not sure whether it can put a brake on this blue chariot, but looking at the current situation, this problem is very troublesome.

With a record of five consecutive wins, Chelsea is far ahead in the Premier League standings, and now Mourinho not only wants to defend the Premier League, but also his ambition is to win the trophy again in the Champions League.

No team has successfully defended the title after the Champions League reform, but Mourinho and his Chelsea team never believe in evil, especially Lin Yi, who enjoys the pleasure of breaking certain records. No one has ever been able to defend the title? Sorry, that was once, and it doesn't mean forever.

Chelsea not only wants to defend the three championships, they also want to win more championships. This is the era of the Chelsea dynasty! No one can stop this group of dangerous people in blue uniforms. . .

(Neymar's performance in the America's Cup is not bad, but I always feel that he lacks the ability to hit the goal. I don't know why...)
