Chapter 501 Who told you to raise your hands and surrender?

On January 20, after a week's rest, the 24th round of the Premier League resumed.

At the American Express Community Stadium in East Sussex in the southeast, Chelsea launched a fierce attack on "Seagulls" Brighton.

"American Express Community Stadium", with a name like this, does not sound like the home ground of a wealthy club, but a low-level small team like New Wimbledon.

This is indeed the case. This team has been playing in the third and fourth tiers since 20 years ago. During this period, it was promoted to the English Championship in 1999, but soon fell into the English Championship again due to financial problems.

A, it was not until 2011 that they were promoted to the Championship again.

After that, they ushered in a long journey to the Super League:

In the 2011-12 season, they moved into a new home stadium, ending the embarrassment of renting stadiums everywhere.

The following year, they finished fourth but lost to Crystal Palace in the promotion play-offs.

In the third year, they made a comeback and finished sixth before losing to Derby County in the play-offs.

In the fourth year, they appointed Hyypia as their coach, but the Red Army captain not only failed to bring passion and transformation to the team, but instead fell directly into the relegation zone...

Panicked, Brighton quickly fired him, and then relied on a more pragmatic style of play to successfully avoid relegation at the end of the season.

In the fifth year, they led the standings for a long time, but lost points one after another in the final rounds of the league, and finally lost to Sheffield Wednesday in the promotion play-offs, missing out on the Premier League again.

It wasn't until the sixth year, that is, last season, that they relied on the outstanding performance of Leicester City's discarded player - Conoket, and locked the top two in the British Championship 3 rounds in advance (ultimately the runner-up), the first in history.

Promotion to the Premier League for the first time!

The story of the "Seagulls" is certainly very inspiring, but they met Chelsea!

The two sides have met a total of 9 times in history, and Chelsea has 7 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss!

The last time we lost to Brighton was in 1933!

At that time, Li Polo's grandfather was not even born!

Queen Elizabeth was only 7 years old at the time!

In order to commemorate the 10th meeting between the two sides, Chelsea used all their main players to kill with full firepower!

After all, after a week's rest, the players who were in poor condition before have made a comeback.

Hazard scored twice with both goals and assists.

Fabregas assisted the hat trick.

William, Moses, and Pedro were not far behind and made great achievements one after another.

Lee Polo did his part, scoring a hat trick in the first half, scoring twice in the second half, and scoring five goals in a row.

10:0!

Looking at the Brighton players lying on the ground, Conte on the sidelines even slapped a pair of hands so that their hands were swollen!

"This is the game I want!"

Only goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois was sitting on the goal line in a daze:

【Can someone find me a coat to put on?】

[This ghost stadium looks like it’s newly built, but why is there air leakage everywhere!]

-

After swallowing 10 goals at their home court, Brighton fell directly from 13th in the middle of the standings to 17th, only one place away from the relegation zone...

In the second half of the season, in addition to the competition for the championship, the competition for the Champions League and relegation zones is also fierce.

For example, the competition for Champions League qualification.

Arsenal, ranked 7th, finally got rid of its previous decline. It defeated the "King of North London" Crystal Palace 4:1 at home and took the opportunity to overtake the losing Burnley and return to the 6th position.

Burnley, the dark horse who was previously ranked sixth, unfortunately lost to Manchester United 0:1. It was Martial who scored the only goal for Mourinho.

Tottenham, ranked fifth, did not live up to expectations at all and was tied 1:1 by Southampton in the away game.

Liverpool, ranked 4th, was even worse. It completely failed to live up to the expectations of the Saints "fellows". It was defeated by Swansea at home with a goal and missed a great opportunity to widen the gap with Tottenham...

Only the second and third ranked Manchester City duo performed stably and defeated their respective opponents respectively.

But the next week, the league will make way for the cup again...

The first thing to take place is the second leg of the League Cup semi-final between Chelsea and Arsenal.

After the 1:1 draw at Stamford Bridge in the first leg, Arsenal once wanted to fight back at home.

But Wenger ultimately rejected this plan because although the League Cup semi-finals were two-legged matches, there was no concept of away goals and defensive counterattacks did not make much sense.

Moreover...Li Polo has already spoken out in advance:

"Arsenal didn't go all out in the league before, which was extremely disrespectful to me, so I'm going to the Emirates Stadium to get back the dignity I deserve!"

Therefore, when Chelsea arrived at the Emirates Stadium on January 24, what stood in front of them was a group of youths with an average age of just over 20 years old!

Holding, Akpon in 1995, Iwobi in 1996, Niles in 1997, Mavropanos, Pregzuelo, Tutu in 1998, Da Silva in 1999

Years of Nelson, Nketiah...

The third goalkeeper Matthew Macy, who was born in 1994, is already the oldest among the starting 11!

Li Polo, who was also born in 1994, felt no respect at all in front of these little brats!

He scored four goals in a row in the first half, killing these lambs to the slaughter, and then took the initiative to ask to be dismissed during the halftime break...

The final score of this game was fixed at 6:0. Arsenal only resisted for 10 minutes from beginning to end, and then allowed Lee Polo and his substitutes to humiliate them wantonly!

When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Wenger made a point of shaking hands with Lee Poirot.

The embarrassment from the last confrontation could no longer be seen on the face of the famous French coach.

Instead, he said with great appreciation:

"Maybe your suggestion is right."

Li Poluo, who was originally angry, was stunned for a moment before reacting.

The "suggestion" Wenger was referring to was what Lee Poirot first said, asking him to give up domestic competition and go all out to win the Europa League in order to qualify for the Champions League next season!

But...he just said it casually to show off!

Who told you to raise your hands and surrender!

-

When Chelsea defeated Arsenal, the other semi-final also had a winner:

With a score of 2:1 at home, 3:2 away, and 5:3 in the two rounds, Manchester City defeated their opponents with some difficulty and joined Chelsea in the final.

They only won one goal in each of the two rounds. For Guardiola's team, it was indeed not glorious enough, especially since their opponent was just a team from the English Championship...

The name of that English Championship team is called New Wimbledon.

After learning the news, Li Polo couldn't help but be heartbroken!

He swore viciously to head coach Neil Adderley, assistant coach Neil Cox, Akinfenwa and other old teammates who had discovered him:

"I will definitely avenge you!"

"If I don't beat the shit out of Guardiola, I will no longer be a member of the Kuang Gang!"
