Midfielder

Chapter 424

In the past five games, only one goal was lost, and the team has made a full-scale breakthrough in the Champions League and the league. Can anyone stop such a crazy Chelsea team now? Eight teams have been knocked down by them.

You know, there are only 20 teams in the entire Premier League. Excluding Chelsea itself, it has only 19 opponents, and nearly half of them have fallen under the iron hoof of these guys.

Expect the other 11 teams to stop Chelsea? The probability is actually very small.

Liverpool and Arsenal have both fallen. Last season, many people hoped that Chelsea would suffer in the strong dialogue. Now it seems that this method does not work. They rarely lose to their competitors.

Mourinho has long said that the game with direct competitors is worth six points. He even gave three points to others. Do you still expect him to give six points to others in such a key duel?

That is really no different from dreaming, so Chelsea has always taken the confidence of the opponent as its main purpose in such a strong dialogue, just like their rampage at Anfield this time.

Except for Gerrard who did not celebrate after scoring, the rest of the players ran and roared wildly after scoring, so that the loud song of "You'll Never Walk Alone" could no longer be heard in Anfield.

They were completely depressed, and even the commentator of Liverpool said helplessly that this game was really a big blow to Liverpool. It was not only a loss, but also a loss of the courage of the players.

They had not played smoothly at the beginning of this season, and now such a big defeat has crushed their confidence to stick to the end of this season. Chelsea did it too much this time.

After the game, no Liverpool player was willing to accept those damn interview requests.

It was also the first time that the Liverpool fans in Anfield booed the home team. What's more, they had torn all their season tickets to pieces and roared goodbye to the stadium.

"Damn the game! We are no longer the invincible team! Those players don't have the courage of Liverpool people to fight to the end! They are just a group of pretenders with the name of Liverpool."

When Lin Yi left the field, he accidentally saw the somewhat dazed expression on Gerrard's face. Perhaps at this moment, the guy was still recalling the good times he had spent in this stadium.

But now he can only temporarily seal this memory. In this game, he not only scored a penalty, but also played the highest level since joining the team in the whole game.

Interception, long shots, headers in front of the goal, including distribution and organization in the middle, and even this guy took away some of Lin Yi's work. He not only scored a goal, but also contributed an assist.

Maybe trampling on the memories of the past is also a way of saying goodbye, but it's a bit cruel.

But Gerrard is a professional player, and he hasn't forgotten what uniform he is wearing now.

The years in Liverpool, at this moment, have completely separated from his life, destined to be only a memory, just like first love, immature, passionate, but the result is often bitter.

But now he is enjoying the pleasure of victory in Chelsea, which may be what he is pursuing.

How strong is Chelsea? Perhaps the feelings of Liverpool people now are the most real and credible.

It is estimated that Dalglish's depressed face after the game has already explained everything. Arsenal has already fallen, and now Liverpool has fallen even more miserably. Perhaps they can only rely on Manchester United.

Liverpool's tragic defeat has completely defeated the so-called glory and dignity of this traditional giant. Not only that, but this big win has also completely turned Chelsea's image into a devil team.

Although they won three trophies last season, they were not as terrifying as they are now in the league. They also seemed a little at a loss in many games, and even prevented chaos.

But now it seems that those guys seem to have taken control of everything and are wreaking havoc.

Although Chelsea has maintained an unbeaten record in the first eight rounds of the game last season, because there were too many draws at that time, it also prevented them from catching up with Arsenal in the early stages of the league.

But now it is different. In the first eight rounds of the new season, Chelsea did not leave the opponent any chance of a draw. Even if they were ahead, they could continue to put pressure step by step.

They used this trick against Tottenham and Liverpool. As long as they let them score first, there would be almost no suspense at the end of the game. Chelsea's counterattack is not simply sharp.

Even many Premier League coaches said that Chelsea's counterattack can definitely be said to be textbook-level.

They have been pursuing such a tactical style since last season. Although some personnel adjustments have been made this season, it has not prevented these guys from continuing to improve their counterattack efficiency.

Even after Ashley Cole and Gerrard joined, this counterattack has become more layered.

Except for the two games at the beginning of the season, they performed a little abnormally because of their impatience. For the rest of the time, these crazy people in blue uniforms are accelerating at full speed.

Whether it is the league or the Champions League, including the League Cup and the FA Cup, which are not very important games, they are all running at full speed. No team can stop their crazy progress.

Although Mourinho has never said anything about winning four championships in front of the media, judging from his current behavior, this Portuguese man is more terrifying when he is silent than when he is speaking.

He just carried out all the plans in his notebook step by step, slowly eroding the remaining courage of his competitors, and Chelsea also steadily won every victory.

It is estimated that the only one who is not so stable is Lin Yi, his existence is to be crazy.

This is also the task given to him by Mourinho, "The team's style of play is stable, but someone needs to lead everyone crazy. Lin Yi is the best choice. He is a madman."

This is Mourinho's evaluation of his apprentice. Chelsea's style of play is a fully mechanized advancement.

Lin Yi is now the brain of this steel army, and he has given this team a crazy gene.

Sweep, what Chelsea people want now is to sweep all opponents! Let those people understand what surrender means! Just like Manchester United and Arsenal, Chelsea also needs others to feel fear!

Eight consecutive wins, this result has almost made the pursuers behind them a little desperate. Although Ferguson is reluctant to admit Chelsea's strength, the two teams have already had a six-point gap in the standings.

Although the league has just started and it is not possible to draw conclusions so early, it is almost impossible for Chelsea, a team that rarely makes mistakes, to collapse and collapse.

Last season, they were stable and made people feel pressure. This season, in addition to being stable, they are even sharper.

Facing such a defending champion, this stubborn Scottish old man really feels some pressure. The opponent is indeed a little difficult to catch up now. It is really difficult to stop them.

Last season, Chelsea stopped its running pace in the ninth round of the league, but that was also because Manchester City relied on the lucky halo given to them by God to complete the feat of defeating Chelsea.

But in the second half of the season, Manchester City also paid a painful price. That game seemed to be a bloodbath. Even now, Manchester City supporters have not been able to forget it.

However, that was the only time Chelsea lost a game in the league. This one defeat was indeed terrifying. Now Mourinho needs to let the team spread this terror to every corner.

Eight consecutive wins is not the goal. Mourinho wants to get rid of those pursuers in the standings. Chelsea must be prepared before shouting out this crazy idea.

However, just like Mourinho's idea of ​​getting rid of his opponents, those pursuers are also waiting for Chelsea to make mistakes. Only when these crazy guys make mistakes can they have a chance to overtake.

Now many media are looking forward to the ninth round of this season. Will there be anyone who will stand up to block Chelsea's progress? After all, Chelsea's ninth opponent Bolton is not bad. It's just that after seeing Chelsea ravage Liverpool so crazily, this wish is a bit difficult.

However, people in the English football circle are more or less superstitious, especially some so-called vicious circles, which always inadvertently prove that there is a magical power in the world.

For example, Lineker never shoots during warm-up. He is afraid that his luck will run out.

Defoe must have his hair cut before every game. In his words, if he doesn't cut his hair, he will be plagued by injuries.

This superstition is only among the players. There are more among the teams. It seems that this has become a tradition in the Premier League. Just like now, many people are waiting to see if Chelsea will fall again in the ninth round of the league. This idea is like a hint to manipulate your mind.

In fact, Bolton performed well last season. Even in the first dozen rounds of the league at the beginning of the season, they have been firmly in the top four. It's just that they were a little weak in the later period and finally got seventh place. However, Bolton's reputation as a strong team killer "fast horse" has been completely played.

Last season, whether it was Arsenal or Liverpool, including Tottenham and Everton, they all fell on Bolton. Their attack was accurate and extremely sharp under the training of Allardyce.

In the three games before the encounter with Chelsea, Allardyce also led the team to an unbeaten record of two wins and one draw. To say that Bolton is in its current state, it has the potential to be a sniper.

Although the opponent is in good form recently, Mourinho doesn't take the duel with Allardyce too seriously. The two encounters last season have already proved the gap between the two teams. As long as Chelsea doesn't make mistakes, it will be difficult for the opponent to take advantage, even if they now have the home advantage.

Mourinho is not worried about those unfounded speculations and predictions. Instead, he is more worried about Chelsea's recent consecutive away games. Although the winning streak continues, playing away games continuously will eventually make people a little mentally exhausted, especially the endless verbal harassment from the opposing fans.

I don't know if the guy who arranged the Premier League schedule is deliberately looking for trouble with Chelsea. Anyway, this consecutive away trip does make them feel less at home, and the noisy noises made by away fans make them a little annoyed, because they are all offensive language.

Continuous victories have brought hostility, especially for those teams that have been poached by Chelsea. Their fans are unscrupulous in harassing the Chelsea team's rest and warm-up. Maybe in their eyes, this team is full of players. The Devils not only plundered the wins, but also robbed their players.

Anyway, this is the case for Chelsea when they go to away games now. The boos and abuse have become the norm. Applause? Come on, can you expect Chelsea haters to applaud them? Don't forget, these guys tear each other apart every game and show no mercy.

I guess this is due to opposing emotions. Since you don't like us, then I will play a crazier game. As for the boos and abuses you make, they can only become your shouts after defeat. There is no way to save the defeat. , Chelsea team is like this, making enemies everywhere.

However, just as Mourinho was worried, due to continuous away games and a round of the League Cup in the middle of last week, their state was not so exciting during the warm-up. This somewhat sluggish state was obviously due to It affected the intensity and persistence of pressure they put on the opponent after the opening.

The forward line may be better, but the main reason is that the guys on the defense are a little absent-minded. It may be that the repeated big wins in the previous games have made them a little relaxed, especially after winning against Liverpool with a big score, they met Bolton. When he was in the team, he did not show a high level of concentration.

Although Mourinho had reminded them before the start of the game to pay attention to every move of their opponents, Ferreira was still a little unfocused, especially when he was marking Okocha and gave the opponent too much space. That Nigeria The former winger elf suddenly activated inadvertently.

Only two minutes into the game, Chelsea had already fired two shots, but Drogba's two shots were both over the crossbar and did not constitute a fatal blow, as if everything was under their control.

But Okocha's simple breakthrough after receiving the ball in the frontcourt caused big trouble for Chelsea.

Maybe Okocha didn't think that such a simple stop could bring such an offensive opportunity. He just stopped with the instep of his outside foot, but Ferreira's collision behind him caused him to lose control of the football. This was originally a very successful defense, at least it didn't look threatening.

But the next scene made Mourinho roar on the sidelines. Ferreira originally planned to control the football, but he somehow let his foot slip past his feet.

Okocha is considered a battle-hardened man, and he will not let go of such a sudden opportunity.

He pushed off the ground and accelerated to directly overtake Ferreira. By the time Ferreira reacted, he had no chance to get stuck on Okocha's cutting path. He could only follow the opponent and chase after him.

Originally, such a cut-in action from the wing, with only one striker in the center to respond, may not necessarily cause any trouble for Chelsea's defense, but Ferreira may have felt a little embarrassed because of the nonsensical mistake just now. So he was a little anxious to stop Okocha.

A tackle from Okocha's side was definitely not a wise defensive move, but Ferreira didn't seem to care much at this time. He only thought about giving the guy before he cut into the penalty area. Knocked down, but he obviously forgot one thing, that is, his speed could not keep up with the opponent's sprint.

Okocha can become famous in Nigeria. In addition to his gorgeous skills, his speed is also his trump card. Ferreira's tackle can only be exchanged for Okocha's rolling in the penalty area.

There was also the harsh whistle blown by the referee. When this guy heard the whistle, he already understood how stupid his decision was. All he could see when he raised his head was the red card that the referee had held high. There was also the finger pointing towards the penalty spot, including the cheers from the fans in the surrounding stands.

"Damn foul! This stupid defensive move is still used near the penalty area!" When Mourinho saw the referee calling a penalty kick, he really wanted to drag Ferreira over and give him a good scolding.

But such anger can't solve any problem, the referee's decision will not be changed, a penalty kick plus a red card.

Ferreira didn't even dare to look at Mourinho's face when he came off the field. He knew what kind of temper his boss had. His careless defense not only caused the team to face the embarrassment of being behind in the score, but also For the next eighty minutes or so, only ten people could continue to fight.

In the face of a penalty kick, even Cech could not save the team. Faye's penalty shot accurately went into the lower left corner of the goal, but Cech could only helplessly watch the opponent start celebrating, and the entire stadium Those cheers began to spread as Chelsea were trailing in the game for the first time this season.

"Perhaps the ninth round will really be a curse for Chelsea. Last year's Manchester City and this year's Bolton may become stumbling blocks in attacking Chelsea. Now Mourinho has to face one less player than the opponent. It’s trouble, I don’t know if he can still find a way to equalize it.”

The TV commentators in charge of the broadcast seemed to be waiting for a joke. They seemed impatient to see Chelsea stumble. After all, the consecutive victories had made many people feel boring. Only watching them lose would be a new one. Exciting, and it seems like it could all come true.

Behind by one goal and one man less, perhaps this situation is the best opportunity for Chelsea, who are in a bit of a bad state, to defeat them. . .
