The biggest fanatic in football

Chapter 49 Who wants revenge on me?

After a 9-0 bloodbath against Arsenal, the Chelsea team only rested for two nights before starting a new journey.

On September 20, the Blues sat at Stamford Bridge and welcomed their first opponent in the English League Cup this season, Nottingham Forest.

Nottingham, world-famous for Robin Hood, once had a glorious football history with Forest.

In the 1970s, this little-known team, under the leadership of legendary coach Brian Clough, successfully landed in the top league at the time - English League One.

This is just the beginning of the legend.

In their first season after being promoted to League One, they won the league and cup double championship.

In the second season, they went one step further and won the Champions League trophy!

In the third year, their momentum remained unabated, winning the Champions League for the second time and achieving an incredible defense!

After that, the halo of miracles gradually faded away, and the Forest team was up and down in the English Premier League and the second tier. Although there were occasional bright moments, they could never regain their former glory.

They also hold a strange record:

They are the only club to have won more Champions League titles than top domestic league titles...

And due to the existence of "The Godfather of Champions", they have also become the low-level team with the largest number of fans in China.

It's a pity that in Nottingham Forest in 2017, there was no Clough, no Tony Twain, and no Vashi. Even if Lee Polo did not play, Hazard led Batshua Yin, Christensen, and Kristo

, Rudiger, Golovin, Remy and other rotation players completed a massacre.

Batshuayin scored twice, Hazard made a pass and shot, Rudiger assisted Remy to score a goal, and even the 20-year-old Charlie Musonda, who was temporarily recruited from the youth training team, helped the team expand the score.

In the last ten minutes, Mount also got a valuable opportunity to play, but unfortunately the time was too short and he failed to score a goal or assist.

Looking at Mangbao running around the field, Conte and his assistants shook their heads:

"This kid seems to be very active, but his position selection is still too poor! He is not on the same page as his teammates at all!"

Lee Polo, who sat on the bench for 90 minutes, shrugged.

He can understand the coaches' thinking. If young players want to show their strength too much, it often backfires.

Mount is still far from occupying a place in this Chelsea team.

"Dip, drip, drip~~~"

5:1!

The Robin Hoods who came from afar were unable to take advantage of Chelsea, who had all their players rotated, and could only leave the city of London secretly.

Other main players got a rest, rotation players got valuable playing opportunities, Hazard once again proved that he can be a good deputy to Lipolo, and everyone at Chelsea was happy.

After checking Hazard's status, Conte finally nodded:

"He can start the next league game."

The King of Zhaqiu cried with joy after receiving the news!

[In order to lose these two pounds of fat and return to the main lineup, he has sacrificed too much! 】

[He doesn’t want to continue playing football with a bunch of substitutes!]

On September 23, the rhythm of double matches a week is finally coming to an end.

As long as they get past their last opponent, Chelsea will have a full week off.

But the last opponent is not simple.

In the sixth round of the Premier League, Conte led his team to the away game for another London derby.

This time, their opponent is Tottenham coached by Pochettino!

Wembley Stadium.

This is definitely one of the stadiums that Lee Poirot is most familiar with in the Premier League.

As early as the Mad Gang days, he visited here twice and led the team to lift two championship trophies, the League Cup and the FA Cup.

In October last year, he made his debut for the national team here, scoring 10 goals in a single game, announcing that he was about to become the new favorite of this stadium.

At the beginning of this season, he won the Community Shield with Chelsea at Wembley.

As of today, this is already his fifth official match at Wembley.

And he only played one warm-up match and two league games at Stamford Bridge...

Since Tottenham's home stadium, White Hart Lane, is under reconstruction, they can only temporarily rent Wembley, the home of the England national team, for the past two seasons. This has also added a long-term stable income to the Football Association.

According to an authoritative report from The Sun, Tottenham received significantly fewer yellow cards this season than before.

Perhaps under the wise leadership of the FA and the patient guidance of the referee committee, Pochettino's players began to play cleaner.

This round of Chelsea's game was scheduled to be played in the afternoon of the first match day, so their preparation time was very hasty.

Before they entered Wembley Stadium, Manchester City, which started earlier, had already defeated Crystal Palace, known as the "King of North London", 5-0 at Intihad.

Another Manchester team, the Red Devils Manchester United, relied on Lukaku's lightning goal to defeat the "Saints" Southampton 1:0 in the away game.

The Manchester City duo scored 16 points and 15 points respectively, passing the pressure on Chelsea, which currently only had 12 points.

Chelsea and Tottenham are not mortal enemies. At least the Blues do not hate each other as much as Arsenal. However, due to the previous conflicts between Lee Poirot and Ali, this game was also hyped by the media as "Ali's revenge battle"...

Lee Polo dismissed this statement.

In the season entrance interview, he expressed his attitude:

"Among Tottenham's midfielders, Eriksen is undoubtedly the most important part. As long as he is restricted, more than half of Tottenham's offense will be wasted!"

"Dele Alli?"

Li Polo pretended to have lost his memory and thought for a long time before suddenly realizing:

"It turns out he's on the starting lineup!"

He smiled ashamedly at the camera:

"My coaches didn't ask me to pay special attention to other people."

Just three minutes later, he received a gift from his opponent:

[Negative sentiment from Dele Alli, 94!]

Li Polo couldn't help but cursed:

"These bullshit reporters who are afraid of chaos in the world!"

Then he walked out of the locker room with a smile, ready to line up like this.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, there is still a trace of heat at Wembley Stadium.

However, compared to the morning game, this competition environment is much more comfortable.

At least they don't have to face the scorching sun or even the strong and dazzling direct sunlight to play.

Lipolo still stands in the last position of the team, behind Hazard who is making his first league start this season.

Since joining Chelsea in 2012, the teammates standing next to him have also changed several times, whether it is Torres, Drogba, Mata in the early stage, Willian, Oscar, Demba Ba in the mid-term, Cuadrado later,

Pedro, Diego Costa, and Salah and Schurrle who stayed briefly did not give him this feeling.

Having played for Chelsea for five seasons with the Blues, he has long since become the core and leader of Chelsea, and has also become the number one player and spokesperson of the Premier League. At his peak, he was also known as the "third best player in football after Melo"

"People", formed the "Third Person Alliance in Football" with Neymar, Suarez, and Bale, but today he felt a little nervous in his heart.

He has been mentally prepared to be a green leaf for Li Boluo. In the past few days of training, the coaches have also consciously let them cooperate with each other, but they are still far from creating a chemical reaction.

Azar secretly complained many times in his heart:

[After all, Li Polo is really not a technical player...]

[Although he is very fast, he cannot keep up with my consciousness at all!]

[Even if his eyes and legs can keep up, his skills can’t keep up!]

Just as Azar took a deep breath nervously, he heard a burst of brisk footsteps behind him.

Then Lee Polo's voice sounded:

"Hey, Ali, it's the first time today!"

Azar moved forward slightly, then turned his body sideways.

Ali pursed his lips, but there was no expression on his face.

Li Polo didn't care, but continued to provoke:

"I heard that the media is hyping it up a lot. It's all a mess, such as a revenge battle or a battle to clear your name. Don't be affected by these hypes. The most important thing is to compete well."

Ali was stunned for a moment. Kane, Eriksen, and Hazard and William next to him all looked like they had seen a ghost.

No one thought that Lee Polo, a recognized "butcher" and "evil man" in football, would teach young players to avoid detours.

Ali felt a little moved in his heart.

[This guy doesn’t have a particularly dark heart! 】

[If it really doesn’t work, I’ll just bow my head and surrender!]

[You can’t just turn 20 and not play for the national team...]

Then he heard Li Polo continue:

"Perform well. You can only play one club game anyway. There is no need to conserve your energy for the national team game ten days later."

Ali's thick eyebrows suddenly stood up!

【national team?】

[You old boy, you won’t pick up any pot!]

He was so ashamed of being touched just now!
