There is a dream called football

Chapter 444 The old friend of the Premier League

On December 10th, the 17th round of the Premier League, Arsenal challenged Chelsea away from home. This is also the most focus game worth watching in this round of the Premier League.

Since Mourinho came to the Premier League, the showdown between Chelsea and Arsenal has become particularly exciting. The two sides are going head-to-head. Not only is it fierce on the court, but the situation off the court is also full of sparks, especially Mourinho.

The war of words between Shuai and Wenger is one of the biggest highlights of the Premier League.

Before the 17th round, Arsenal had 29 points and Chelsea had 39 points, ranking third and second respectively. The gap was only one place, but the gap in points was huge, as much as 10 points.

Manchester United, who are ranked first, already has a full 44 points. In this case, Chelsea is even more unwilling to lose, because they still have a chance to compete with Manchester United for the league championship this season.

Mourinho looked arrogant again when he was asked questions by reporters before the game.

"Don't talk about the London derby anymore. I think we and Arsenal are teams of two levels."

Mourinho stretched out his two hands, one hand under the other.

Then he raised his lower hand and said with a smile: "If this is Arsenal, then this is us."

After saying that, Mourinho quickly raised his other hand high above his head, which amused all the reporters present.

"Do you think it's ridiculous? Haha, let's take a look at the gap in the standings. It's a full 10 points. Do you know what that means? That's a gap of 3 games, and the Premier League has only played 17 rounds."

"Jose, we understand that you have a big lead, but football is round and Arsenal's strength is also good. Do you think the London Derby is not interesting?"

"I don't think Arsenal is competitive in the Premier League. Their bench is not deep enough. It's enough for them to deal with the Champions League, so I think there is no suspense in this game."

"Then let's predict the score."

Mourinho arrogantly raised a finger and said, "1-0, we will get an economical victory."

Wenger is still elegant as always. He said he respects Chelsea Club, but he will not respect Mourinho.

"You know, that guy always likes to irritate his opponents. He will talk nonsense before the game, but he will often get slapped in the face. I don't know if he feels ashamed or if he doesn't know how to spell the word shame in English.

"

"I think a football coach shouldn't be like this. He can't take pleasure in attacking opponents. I think everyone can see the contribution I have made to the Premier League in the past 10 years. I deserve respect."

Wenger was holding his breath when he led the team to Stamford Bridge. It was indeed difficult for him to win here. Mourinho was arrogant, but his coaching ability was obvious to all, and he could always find a way to deal with Arsenal.

Na.

Coming to the locker room, the players were preparing, and Wenger was mobilizing, "The London derby is not just about three points, but more importantly, the team's honor. We used to be the best team in London, but

Now everything is shaking. I don’t know what you think, but I won’t agree to it.”

Of course the players didn't agree. This kind of game is just like the Champions League, and it feels particularly honorable to play.

"Go and warm up, boys, and prove yourself at Stamford Bridge."

****

Ashley Cole, once a gate on the left side of Arsenal, is now Chelsea's left back.

However, he still has a lot of affection for his old teammates. During the warm-up, he took the initiative to come over and say hello to everyone.

Wenger also shook hands with Cole.

Li Qiao was reminiscing with Carvalho. The two had a lot to talk about. No matter how long it has been, the scene of fighting side by side in Porto will never be forgotten.

"Li Qiao, our relationship is estranged. Let's spend Christmas together this year."

"Okay, you can bring your wife to my house."

"That's it."

Chelsea's lineup has not changed much, and it can even be said that it is strengthened to a certain extent every year.

There are still two big guys on the front line, Shevchenko and Drogba.

Midfielder, Ballack, Lampard, Makelele, Essien.

The defense is Gremy, Terry, Carvalho and Ashley Cole.

The goalkeeper position is now Chelsea's weakest position. Cech is injured and now uses Portuguese goalkeeper Hilario.

However, the strength of Chelsea's midfield conceals the problems in its defense. In most games, Chelsea's midfield can solve the problem without having to worry about too many things in the backcourt.

And if you look at Chelsea's substitutes, Wenger will drool with envy. Robben and Wright are both sitting on the bench.

So Mourinho is also a duplicitous person. He talks about looking down on Arsenal, but when he actually sends the starting lineup, the midfielders are all tough players, and they are all defensive players who can fight and grab. This also shows that Mourinho is still very concerned about his opponents.

Attention.

Before the game, the head coaches of both sides shook hands mechanically, and neither side looked directly at their opponents. It seems that those words before the game were really heartbreaking, and there was a gap between both sides. In the player tunnel, there was still a lot of tension between the players.

They were harmonious, talking and laughing, many of them were teammates of the national team, and some were old teammates.

When the players came out, there were huge boos at Stamford Bridge. Naturally, these boos were directed at the local rival Arsenal. The players are already very used to this kind of pressure, and even this kind of pressure can bring a little excitement.

After shaking hands and greetings, the two sides took their places. Such a focus battle naturally had a big-name commentator, and he was the BBC's Martin Taylor.

After introducing the team's starting lineup, Martin was still very concerned about Cech's situation. Cech suffered a serious head injury and was out for the season. This is also what many Chelsea fans are very worried about. Cech's importance to Chelsea is self-evident.

, everyone hopes he can get well soon.

On Wenger's side, Arsenal will play with all the main players, just like the life-and-death battle between the Champions League and Porto, because Wenger doesn't want to see the arrogant Mourinho win even if his team has no hope of winning the championship this season.

Thinking of winning the Premier League title is a sting to oneself. If Chelsea can be unseated, Wenger will also be very happy.

Martin Taylor also said: "If Chelsea loses, then there will be even less hope of catching up with Manchester United, and if Arsenal loses, they are likely to lose their top four position again. Look at the teams behind Arsenal, Puss

Mouth has 28 points, Liverpool has 28 points, Bolton has 27 points, Tottenham and Villa have 25 points, and what Arsenal’s 29 points means, I think everyone knows.”

Yes, not only everyone knows it, but Wenger also knows that he cannot afford to lose the game.
