Midfielder

Winning all the league games and unbeaten in the Champions League, if this result is applied to other teams, it may be a bit shocking, but it seems nothing abnormal to Chelsea.

That is a group of animals, which is the most realistic interpretation given to Chelsea by most English fans.

Especially Mourinho and Lin Yi, as long as they are there, everything will be fine.

At least in the eyes of those media, such results are nothing to boast about, unless these guys can really defend the title in the Champions League, otherwise, victory is really too common for them.

However, after dealing with Barcelona, ​​even the bookmakers may have adjusted Chelsea's odds of winning the championship to a historical low, but at this moment, Chelsea lost in the league.

And they did not lose to strong teams like Arsenal or Manchester United, but to the unknown Sunderland team. Although the score of 0 to 1 is not big, the result is amazing enough.

Many people have been wondering whether the second series will win the championship with all wins, but just after they beat Barcelona away, they broke their unbeaten record in the league, which made many Spaniards feel very happy.

But Mourinho seemed to have nothing to say about such a failure. Even in the press conference after the game, he did not show any frustrated expression, but just said lightly, "We lost."

Is that the end? Many reporters are still eagerly waiting for Mourinho to get angry, because these guys have also seen what happened on the field. This game can be said to be Chelsea was tricked.

With a double match schedule in a week, plus a deadly battle with Barcelona, ​​Mourinho used a full substitute lineup in the league, but even with a full substitute lineup, they can still surpass their opponents.

But this bizarre game process is confusing. Less than a minute after the start, Essien, who returned from the African Cup, knocked down the opponent with his strong body in the midfield, and the referee blew the whistle immediately.

This was a foul, nothing to say, but no one could have expected that the referee would show Essien a red card, and without hesitation, basically everyone was stunned at this moment.

Including the players of the Sunderland team, they didn't know what was wrong with the referee, but the red card was raised high enough for many people to see, and no matter how the people around him begged, he didn't intend to take it back.

Mourinho didn't appeal on the sidelines this time, only Brito was arguing with the fourth official.

However, the fate of the red card cannot be changed, although the fourth official also looked confused.

A red card, one less player, although it was strange that a midfielder was missing at the beginning, Chelsea's attack was still like a tide, Cassano and Anelka took turns to attack the opponent.

But Sunderland's goal seemed to be protected by magic. No matter how fierce Chelsea's attack was, the shot either flew past the goal or hit the post and the crossbar.

Chelsea had a total of 17 shots in the whole game, but the damn shots always failed at the last minute. Sunderland only had one shot on target in the whole game, but this shot went into the net.

"God's will." Mourinho whispered after the game.

But Mourinho and Lin Yi in the stands could see that this was definitely not God's will. In addition to damn luck, the referee's enforcement standards determined many things.

But Mourinho did not fire recklessly after the game, although he was never afraid of getting into trouble.

But at this time, he understood why. Losing may be luck, but the Premier League definitely doesn't like to see a game that is far ahead of the competition. If Chelsea can win the championship with a perfect record, it would be a weird thing. Once any league has this level of domination, it is definitely not a good thing.

Although it cannot be said that this was instructed by the Premier League management, at least Chelsea's winning streak did make many people embarrassed. After Arsenal won the championship unbeaten, there is no need to keep a record.

Mourinho can understand what is behind the penalty scale of this game, which may be a kind of unspoken rule.

Kenyon did clamor to find trouble with the referee, but Mourinho chose to remain silent.

You will never win this kind of lawsuit, not to mention that even if you get rid of this referee like you got rid of Fricks, what can you get in return? Anyway, Chelsea's points advantage is enough for them to squander.

However, Mourinho's silence does not mean that he does not understand the tricks here. At least his few words can make those who hope Chelsea lose understand that he is not afraid of trouble.

Just like Essien's excited performance when he was sent off, many people think that this guy should be punished, but Chelsea Club still took the initiative. They don't want others to take advantage of the loophole.

Regarding Essien's misconduct, the Premier League's disciplinary department only issued a painless ticket. For Essien, who makes a fortune every day, that little money is just like going out to refuel the car.

This kind of punishment, which was a big stick raised and then lightly dealt, indirectly shows that some people feel that they lack confidence.

But such a failure may let the players who are a little bit arrogant know that they are not invincible. If their luck is bad enough, they will also fall to the weak team.

After the game, Mourinho's face was calm, but internally, he also publicly emphasized his attitude towards future games. If he relaxes himself too much, he will definitely suffer in the top league competition.

But I don't know what they think of choosing such an opponent to end Chelsea's winning streak. Mourinho didn't say anything, but this didn't stop those reporters from writing nonsense in the newspapers.

Conspiracy theory, bribery of referees, anyway, all kinds of weird speculations can be put in the newspapers.

But Sunderland, who won the game, didn't feel excited, because Lin Yi had already said in an interview with reporters, "I will collect the debt when we meet next time."

This kid is not tall or strong, but he always keeps his word.

There is no need to say more. Lin Yi can let go of this sentence, which means that he has taken this defeat to heart. Think about what happened to Newcastle United and Manchester City. It is definitely bad to be targeted by this kid.

The three points were definitely a reminder of fear, but compared with Lin Yi's words, the curse of the bookmakers after the game may be more serious. They may never dream that Chelsea would lose to Sunderland.

But there will always be gamblers who don't know how to live or die and want to challenge the high difficulty, and this time someone actually bet right, and the bookmakers have to worry about this unexpected loss for a long time. The amount is not large, but it is very depressing.

However, a league defeat did not make teams like Manchester United and Arsenal happy. After all, Chelsea is leading by too much, and such a small defeat is definitely not a serious injury.

At least their gap in the standings is still double digits, and looking at the group of Chelsea players who gritted their teeth and left the field, they may not easily lose any game again. For the pursuers, it seems to have no meaning at all except to make Chelsea's substitutes a little angry.

And in the next League Cup, Chelsea immediately let those who expected them to lose in a row taste the bitterness. Middlesbrough was directly blasted into a pile of powder by Chelsea's crazy attack in the League Cup.

Six to zero, and five to zero at halftime, even though Lin Yi and half of the main players were not on the field. Ribery and Cassano alone could have won the game with their strong performance.

Ribery scored three goals in this game, and Mourinho regarded him as a surprise.

He finally began to take root in Chelsea with his performance, and by the way, he became the focus of the circle in Domenech's notebook, and it was just around the corner to enter the national team.

After defeating Middlesbrough and advancing to the final, Chelsea's strong momentum in the League Cup has gradually approached their first possible trophy, and their opponent is only Tottenham.

Tottenham, who is still struggling in the middle of the league and trying to squeeze into the European quota, doesn't know how many trump cards they will have to fight Chelsea to the death. Many commentators and fans have already given the trophy to Chelsea in advance.

Mourinho did not comment on such speculation, but he never stopped preparing for the game. I wonder if Tottenham, as a team in London, will be a little nervous when seeing its rival in the same city.

At least for Chelsea, Mourinho will not easily lose to its rival in the same city. Not to mention dominating the entire Premier League, at least in the PK battle in London, whether it is Arsenal or Tottenham, Mourinho will not give the other side a chance. In the war for fan resources, no one will take the initiative to bow their heads.

Tottenham may not even know how likely they are to win the League Cup, but it is obvious that Chelsea is definitely planning more than just this trophy. In the FA Cup, they also successfully advanced to the semi-finals. This time, it was poor Bolton who fell under their iron hoof and was also ravaged.

Although it was not as exaggerated as the 6-0 against Middlesbrough, the score of 4-0 was enough to embarrass Bolton. They also failed to withstand the strong impact of half of Chelsea's main lineup.

Ribery had a lot of fun in the last game, and this time it was Lampard and Drogba who got the chance, especially Drogba. This guy finally broke his fast again, and he scored three goals in the first game. This efficiency is really high.

League Cup final, FA Cup semi-final, compared with that defeat, it seems that many teams subconsciously think that it is better to let these guys continue to win in the league.

This time, the battle for the FA Cup and League Cup will become more cruel, especially Manchester United. Now they can only focus all their energy on the FA Cup, otherwise they will really be empty-handed. The unexpected elimination of the League Cup has always annoyed Ferguson, and no one dares to provoke him.

The game with Barcelona made many people see the terrible offensive of Chelsea, but if it is really reflected in the specific data, the effect may be more intuitive, such as their rapid progress in the scorer list, Drogba ranks first, and five others are also in the top ten.

Anelka, Drogba, Crespo, Lampard, Gerrard, and Robben, all six of them are on the list, and Drogba is able to surpass Henry and Van Nistelrooy who have dominated the scorer list in the past two seasons. This result is not amazing, but it is already shocking enough.

The rest of the list, in addition to Henry, the king of Highbury, there are Van Nistelrooy and Rooney, but they can only rank in the awkward position of eighth and ninth. Hasselbaink is also a surprise selection.

Full-scale outbreak, unstoppable, no words can describe Chelsea now.

It is no longer news that they are close to the trophy in both cup competitions. In the next home game against Barcelona, ​​Chelsea will put all its main lineup on the table.

It is a dream to beat Chelsea 3-0, even 2-0 is out of reach. Such a problem is insurmountable for Rijkaard, and the result also proves it all.

Maybe Rijkaard is self-aware. Before the game started, he said in an interview, "The game at Stamford Bridge is very difficult, we can only do our best."

As for the estimate of the result, Rijkaard politely refused. This guy certainly doesn't want to make such a boring prediction, because even he knows now that they are only 90 minutes away from being eliminated. It is basically impossible to reverse at Stamford Bridge.

However, the opponent's low profile will not make Mourinho show mercy, and he may even avoid such a thing.

Mourinho did not put out his usual defensive lineup at home. With two goals and a psychological advantage in his hands, he continued to use the pure offensive lineup in the last game.

With both wings flying together and the middle road rushing forward, Lin Yi, Robben and Ribery have also had enough offensive addiction at Stamford Bridge. Moreover, Mourinho was bold enough to leave only three defenders in the back, and the midfield has consolidated enough weight. Even if he plays an offensive battle with the opponent, Mourinho must play a magnificent atmosphere.

However, such a magnificent attack does look very exciting, but there are also hidden dangers, just like Messi and Ronaldinho's breakthroughs, which often make Cech a little flustered, but the whole rhythm is always under the control of Chelsea. Occasionally, mistakes will not change the situation of the whole game.

After delivering fatal shells in the last game, Lin Yi finally opened a meat in this home confrontation. He suddenly shot with force at about 20 meters and scored in the lower left corner of the goal.

Valdez's sight was blocked by his teammates. When he found that the shot was rubbing the grass and flying towards the goal, it was too late. When the football hit the net and caused the white net to shake.

The first half of the game lasted less than 20 minutes, and Rijkaard's team fell behind again. In this case, Barcelona could only fight to the death with the opponent. In a breakthrough before the end of the first half, Messi, who had been holding back for nearly 45 minutes, finally got a chance to shoot.

And the shot of this little Argentine was indeed tricky. Cech's side dive was fast enough, but it was still a little slower than the speed of the football. Barcelona equalized the score before the end of the half.

But such a goal did not bring Barcelona's recovery, but Chelsea's attack was more fierce in the second half. Lin Yi also played a midfield breakthrough in front of Ronaldinho.

What was the effect of two consecutive bull tail passing actions in the middle? Both Van Bommel and Motta were shaken into idiots, and even these two guys forgot about tactical fouls.

Drogba received Lin Yi's signature through ball in the penalty area and shot with Puyol.

The distance was close enough and the angle was tricky enough. Drogba's foot was in good shape recently. He shot from less than seven or eight meters away. No matter who was the goalkeeper, it would be out of reach.

A classic offensive battle was won. The score of 2 to 1 almost broke Barcelona's courage to continue the game. Even Rijkaard sat back in the coaching seat after this goal was scored.

In the end, the score on the big screen of Stamford Bridge was 4 to 2. Ronaldinho finally showed off his free kick skills in the second half, but Chelsea was already leading 4 to 1 at that time. As for whether this ball was scored or not, it would not affect the overall situation. It could only be regarded as a goal for Ronaldinho to save face, but the result would not change. They lost.

Robben and Gerrard's two goals also had the same effect, but they destroyed the pride of Barcelona. This rich team, known as the Dream Team II, was helplessly defeated, and this was the second consecutive year. I really don't know if they regretted choosing Chelsea.

But there is no regret medicine in this world. Once you choose, you choose. There is no way back.

After the game, no Barcelona player chose to exchange jerseys with Chelsea players. For them, this knockout experience is absolutely bitter. Watching the deadly enemy step over their bodies and continue to move forward is really painful for those guys who are determined to take revenge!

But the result can no longer be changed. In the most intense peak showdown in the knockout round, Chelsea defeated a stumbling block on their way forward with a score of 6 to 2 in two rounds.

This is definitely not the last one, but Chelsea, which has entered the quarterfinals of the Champions League, has become unstoppable.

Who will be the next team to pounce? Maybe even those opponents are hesitating. What kind of method should be used to organize such a crazy team? Are they just going to let them wreak havoc?

Who knows, maybe not running into them at this time is the wisest choice. . .

But who can escape? Maybe we really have to ask God. . .
