Midfielder

It is well known that Mourinho is inhumane, especially to Lin Yi.

It is estimated that no one in Chelsea can train more intensely than Lin Yi. Even after a successful season, Lin Yi's usual training volume is under Mourinho's strict control.

Now it is not only Mourinho who is watching him, but also Aurelio Pereira and Faria are helping him. The intensity of Lin Yi's daily training is almost the same as the ascetic practice of an ascetic monk.

But this kid is really ruthless. Even when facing these three devil-like guys, he did not flinch and still managed to complete all the training subjects, but he was also exhausted like a dead dog.

This is also because Mourinho intends to let him adapt to this intensity as soon as possible during his physical development period. If he wants to survive in the Premier League, even if he does not train his body to be very strong, he must consider the ability to withstand blows.

After all, even if Lin Yi's body is strengthened for a summer, it is only normal, not enough to compete with those tough guys. Of course, Lin Yi's skills can completely reverse the disadvantage.

But in order to avoid unnecessary injuries, Mourinho still intends to strengthen Lin Yi's physical confrontation training within a reasonable range. After all, Aurelio Pereira has also made such a suggestion.

"Chris's physical fitness is popular in Portugal, but in the first year of the Premier League, he has always been at a disadvantage in confrontation. Lin Yi is often knocked to the ground by others. The body is indeed very important."

Aurelio Pereira is not worried about how unstandardized Lin Yi's wild skills are. According to the old guy, technology exists for passing.

There is no such thing as good-looking or bad, and there is no such thing as standard or not, as long as it is useful.

Lin Yi's passing skills are completely wild. He can use any tricks, regardless of whether it is the fancy fake moves of South American players or the concise and practical moves of European players.

Anyway, before Lin Yi's breakthrough, his fake moves were to complete the final breakthrough, so this kid always looked at the opponent when passing, and was rarely intercepted by the opponent.

Even Gerrard, the new teammate, said helplessly, "Last season, we were knocked down five times by Chelsea, not because we were not strong enough, but because there was the ghost of Lin Yi on the field."

It can be said that Liverpool had tried everything to limit Lin Yi's performance, including fouls. As long as they could get his feet away from the ball, they would rather choose to get a yellow card.

However, the final outcome also proved that all Liverpool's methods were ineffective. They could only watch Lin Yi wreak havoc in front of them, five games! That was a full five games! Four hundred and fifty minutes!

Not counting the extra time, Liverpool was also mentally tortured by Lin Yi for more than four hundred minutes, which was really torturous.

Even now, when Gerrard saw Lin Yi passing in the training match, he was still secretly glad that he finally didn't have to compete with this little lunatic, otherwise it would be easy to collapse.

Lin Yi's training consciousness is needless to say. Even if no one is watching him, he will not be lazy.

Sometimes Mourinho even needs to worry about whether this kid is doing extra training when he has nothing to do. In that case, it is indeed easy to cause damage to his body. After all, fatigue is also a kind of damage.

Fortunately, with a professional private doctor and Varia watching at any time, Lin Yi's physical condition has always been good in the Chelsea team. At least he has not been plagued by so many injuries this season.

But in the training session before the match against Aston Villa, Lin Yi was a little absent-minded.

For the first time, Makelele blocked Lin Yi's dribbling breakthrough in the confrontation match, and the kid's passing accuracy was not as sharp as usual, which made Mourinho a little doubtful on the sidelines.

"Are you feeling unwell?" After Lin Yi's regular training, Mourinho did not let him start extra training immediately, but dragged the kid in front of him. After all, this was his apprentice who he taught himself. Mourinho always paid close attention to the kid's every move. Today was indeed a little abnormal.

"Nothing, just thinking about something." Lin Yi himself couldn't explain why. Anyway, when he was training today, he always thought of the concert ticket he received in his backpack.

"If you can't concentrate, you can stop training for a day. Forcing it will only reduce the effect."

Mourinho is not a dictator, not to mention that this is his direct line, but Lin Yi's subsequent words made this tough guy speechless, because the boy actually said, "Can I take a few days off around Christmas? That, a friend hopes that I can go to the United States to watch her first concert. She sent me an invitation. I don't want to miss the appointment. It seems a bit rude to do so."

"I won't delay the official game, but there are two or three days of training sessions, and I may be delayed."

Although Lin Yi said it, he didn't say who sent the invitation. He was a little evasive when he said it, and even blushed a little. After he finished speaking, he scratched his head and seemed a little embarrassed. Of course, Mourinho is not stupid. He can guess who is calling this kid.

Not only Mourinho was speechless, but also Faria and the old man Aurelio Pereira beside him were speechless, because no matter how they looked at Lin Yi, it seemed like he was caught in a whirlpool of love.

Of course, these three guys were relatively honest. Although they had playful expressions on their faces, they didn't laugh. Although the expression on the boy's face was very interesting, it was a bit embarrassing.

But none of the three people answered Lin Yi's question, including Mourinho, who was silent.

This made Lin Yi very melancholy, because this was the first time he spoke to Mourinho about asking for leave.

Apart from injuries, he was almost a little prince who was always present, and he had never missed a training session. Now he said so bluntly that he would miss the game to attend someone else's Christmas concert. It did sound a bit unreliable, but imagining the ticket, Lin Yi could only bite the bullet and say it.

He was thinking about this issue during today's training session, otherwise he would not be so absent-minded, and even let the coach and others doubt whether there was something wrong with his body.

Well, what Lin Yi wanted to do most now was to catch the beasts in charge of the league in the English Football Association.

Then tie him to the goal at Stamford Bridge and let him shoot a hundred times with great force. Who told these beasts not to arrange a winter break for the Premier League? Damn it, especially around Christmas, there are often schedules of strong teams fighting in succession. The fans are happy, but the players are exhausted.

Among the five major leagues, only his grandma's Premier League team can't enjoy the winter break treatment. No wonder Lin Yi is a little crazy about those who are responsible for arranging the schedule. Damn it, there is no human rights!

Players in the other four major leagues can rest with their wives and children before Christmas, only these stupid old men in the Premier League have to fight hard with a group of the same kind on the field.

If there was a short vacation, Lin Yi wouldn't have to wait for Mourinho's reply so awkwardly.

Now he doesn't know how many times he has cursed those bastards who canceled the Premier League winter break in his heart.

But it's no wonder, England is an island country, and it doesn't have the same holidays as the mainland. If it were the same, it would probably only be able to enjoy a winter break, so island countries are treated poorly.

Not only is the weather unpredictable, the players are also more miserable than other leagues, and they can't even have a good Christmas.

Lin Yi doesn't know what kind of reply he can wait for, but he knows that around Christmas, it is generally an important watershed for the Premier League championship group, and the results depend on that stage.

Last season's points battle also started around Christmas. After Arsenal and Manchester United competed with Chelsea for almost half a season, they gradually fell behind during that period.

Multi-line operations, two or three games a week, this intensity is probably not something that ordinary teams can afford. Even giants like Manchester United and Arsenal can't withstand such a dense schedule.

If it weren't for Chelsea's bench depth playing a key role at this time last season, if they continued to entangle in the standings, maybe something would happen in the end.

Even Mourinho said after winning the championship that it was the players who sacrificed the joy of the festival to bring the league championship to Chelsea fans. It is indeed a bit unreasonable to ask for leave at this time.

Although it will not delay the game, such a long-distance flight back and forth will probably affect the state. Lin Yi is not blindly confident that his body will not be disturbed by such a long-distance trip.

"As long as it does not delay the game, this leave can be approved, and there will be no problem on the club side. Although the invitation you mentioned is really not a reasonable reason, I think no one can refuse it, but I have a request." Mourinho's answer surprised Lin Yi a little.

After all, this is during the league, and it is not easy to go out and deal with some personal issues.

If this is not Selina's invitation, maybe Lin Yi would have thrown the ticket aside long ago.

Since the kiss in the locker room after winning the Champions League, the feelings between the two little guys have been changing subtly. Lin Yi even thought about going to the United States during the summer off-season.

However, due to the unresolved issue of the national team game, the trip was forced to be cancelled.

Originally, Selina had sent a message to Lin Yi about her first public performance after the release of her new album, but at that time, Lin Yi had already gone to Moscow with the Portuguese national team to prepare for the World Cup qualifiers.

Selina didn't say anything, but the little girl didn't even call for the concert this time, she just simply sent a ticket. Lin Yi could imagine what the other party's expression was.

The calm volcano is the most terrifying, because you really don't know when it will erupt.

Lin Yi didn't want to be the unlucky guy who was sprayed to death, so he looked so melancholy after receiving the ticket, but Mourinho's answer did let him find a way out in the dark.

But then when the guy said the request, the expression on his face looked like a trap.

But in order not to irritate the little witch, Lin Yi still endured it. Although based on his understanding of Mourinho, the request made by the guy must not be good, but at this time, there was no choice.

"Boss, you tell me, I'll agree to everything except saving the world." Lin Yi could only agree reluctantly. After all, facing these three old foxes, he would never have any chance to play any tricks.

"Get rid of the pursuers behind you before Christmas. That way, even if you are affected by the long-distance flight, the team does not need to worry about being caught up by the teams behind you in the standings."

Mourinho did not dislike the American girl, especially seeing Lin Yi's absent-minded expression, he also knew that not agreeing to this kid might have a counter-effect.

It is better to use Lin Yi's army at this time, let this kid be more crazy in the recent games, and try to widen the gap between Chelsea and Manchester United and Arsenal as much as possible, and take the initiative in the hands as soon as possible.

It is estimated that even if this matter is made public within the team, there is no need to worry about anyone talking behind the back. Lin Yi's popularity in the team is still good, although he never goes out with those guys.

But on the court, this kid has always been selfless. With such a core organizer who is not greedy for credit, it is estimated that no matter who partners with him, they will definitely be very happy, especially those offensive players.

Drogba and Gerrard may be the biggest beneficiaries this season, especially the former Red Army leader who has just joined the team. In the games that have been played, he has scored four goals.

This is only the result in the league. If the Champions League is included, the number of goals will increase. At this efficiency, it will not take many rounds for Gerrard to exceed the total number of goals scored last season.

In Liverpool, he has carried the team forward by himself for two or three years. This may be the most enjoyable state for Gerrard in recent years. It is precisely because of the existence of Lin Yi that the running-in period has been greatly shortened.

There were people waiting to see the joke that the two Drogba cannot coexist, but Chelsea has Lin Yi and Mourinho, which is not a problem at all. Lin Yi has made these two guys the strongest weapons.

Now the offensive triangle of Drogba, Lampard and Gerrard can not only mess up the opponent's defense in the penalty area, but they have also increased the distance of threatening the goal to about 35 meters.

With these two heavy guns, plus Lin Yi's ammunition depot, you can imagine how powerful it is.

Even those reporters said that it was a disaster that Eriksson failed to persuade Lin Yi to join the England national team. He let go of the opportunity for the English to relive the World Cup in 1966.

Gerrard and Lampard also expressed regret on different occasions, but that was before the season started. If they were interviewed now, it would not be regret, but crying.

If that kid was delivering shells behind them, the England team's offense would destroy all defenses.

But now it seems that they can only enjoy this treatment in club games.

From Gerrard's experience, it can be seen that Lin Yi is not bad in the team. It can even be said that in the whole team, only Kezman last season is a little bit out of tune with him.

Even if Lampard competed with him because of the position, it was only at the competitive level.

If any Chelsea player said that he didn't like Lin Yi, he would be buried alive.

So Mourinho has the confidence to handle this matter, but he needs Lin Yi to concentrate on dealing with the next game. After all, the four-line attack is still very stressful for the team.

"OK, it's a deal. If I can't defeat those pursuers, I won't go anywhere." Lin Yi did not hesitate to Mourinho's request and agreed directly. He also wanted to deal with those people as soon as possible. Several fronts were launched at the same time. Lin Yi also knew that he must get rid of the entanglement of the pursuers as soon as possible.

Otherwise, even if Chelsea has a solid bench foundation, it will be overwhelmed by such heavy game tasks. At that time, it may not be a three-line defense, but it may be a four-line empty.

Lin Yi has always said what he can do, just like he often relies on his performance in the game to severely beat those who criticize him. After finalizing the conditions with Mourinho, this kid began to explode.

The training the day before was still a little dazed, and in the game the next day, Makelele saw how fierce Lin Yi was, especially when facing opponents like Aston Villa.

O'Leary is the most courageous coach this season. When facing Chelsea, he dared to put on an offensive posture, and their impact-type play did bring certain results.

Less than a minute after the start, taking advantage of the coordination errors between Terry and Ferreira, Davis made a horizontal cross from the wing, and Barry completed the fatal blow to Chelsea's goal with a push shot in the center of the penalty area.

Cech, who had not been scored for nearly 600 minutes, failed to play God this time.

However, before O'Leary had time to put down his hands raised when cheering, Lin Yi launched a lightning counterattack in the midfield in less than 30 seconds. After passing Barry's interception, he made a precise long pass to the empty space of Aston Villa's defense, and Robben, who was inserted at high speed, launched a surprise attack.

Before the Aston Villa players recovered from the joy of the goal, Robben's shot had penetrated Sorensen's ten fingers, leaving only a group of stunned Aston Villa players.

Equalizing was not the goal. Less than five minutes into the game, Lampard's heavy artillery suddenly opened fire 25 meters away from the goal after receiving ammunition from Lin Yi.

Sorensen once again watched sadly as the whistling football brushed past his fingertips and flipped the net.

When O'Leary saw the score on the big screen at the stadium freeze at 4-1 after 90 minutes, he finally realized that he was playing against a group of crazy people, who were very cruel.

4-1! They were playing away! Will this never end! They won't leave anyone a way out, right!

However, Lin Yi didn't want to listen to O'Leary's roar. He just used his eyes to tell Mourinho, watch out, from now on, I will start to lead the team to advance rapidly. . .

Poor O'Leary, this loss was really unfair. . . He didn't know until his death that he fell into the hands of a woman. . .
