Midfielder.

Chapter 203

The two consecutive victories cannot change the outside world's perception of Chelsea's utilitarianism, but these voices of criticism have not affected the enthusiasm of this group of blues in the slightest.

After consecutive defeats of Manchester United and Birmingham at Stamford Bridge, Mourinho led his Blues to defeat Crystal Palace 2-0 in the same crisp manner in the away game. In one game, the Crystal Palace team did not get a decent chance.

Even their head coach admitted helplessly after the game, "From the first second of this game, we have no chance of winning."

This is not Crystal Palace showing weakness in front of Chelsea, but everyone who watched the game understood that what the manager said was not a discouragement.

A series of blockades stretched from the midfield to the front of the goal. The steel defense forged by Mourinho was simply unbreakable.

Compact formation, super personal ability, the most important thing is that every Chelsea player now has a kind of desperado spirit. Under Mourinho's command, everyone must work hard, otherwise, they will even enter the team. There is no chance of a 16-man squad. This is Chelsea's discipline.

Anyone who dares to show slack on the court must pay a high price. Smergin, the unlucky ghost, is about to leave.

Don't say that Mourinho is impersonal, Ferreira performed poorly in the game against Birmingham, and he was also placed on the bench in the third game.

If you are in good form, you can play. If you are not in good form, Mourinho will not care whether you are a big name or not, and how many honors you have behind you, he will still win.

Just relying on this guy's iron fist, the Chelsea team is now completely integrated into an army with only one voice. How can there be any weakness in this defense?

Even Manchester United's offensive ability can't be cracked, do you still expect a team like Crystal Palace, which is often in the relegation zone, to break through their goals?It's better to wash up and sleep, don't dream, even the fans of Crystal Palace dare not expect their team to win the group of blues at home.

Three games, combined, only Manchester United caused Chelsea a little trouble in the second half of the first game, and it was only that little.

In the remaining two games, whether it was Birmingham or Crystal Palace, there were no threatening shots at all, and even the number of half-time goals was limited.

Of course, many media have also analyzed objectively. After all, the level of Birmingham and Crystal Palace can only be regarded as the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League. Didn't earn much goal difference on them either.

A total of four goals were scored in three games. This kind of offensive intensity is not worth mentioning in the eyes of many critics, and it can only be regarded as a mid-to-lower level.

Even a mid-range team like Manchester City scored five goals in the first three games, Chelsea's offensive ability has not been fully reflected.

Even they didn't score as many goals in the first three games last year. Many people think that this is Mourinho's utilitarian and conservative tactics, which limited the goals.

"Even an Italian coach like Ranieri knows how to attack better than that Portuguese. Chelsea will only blindly defend and counterattack now."

Such voices are not uncommon, and the football sections of many newspapers have used different arguments to reprimand the utilitarian football trend set off by Mourinho.

Many people believe that Mourinho's style of play is killing the enjoyment of football. He makes the football game lose its passion, leaving only physical confrontation.

But what Mourinho needs to consider now is not how to cater to the views of the mainstream media, but that he must solve the team's offensive problems.

For him, winning is the most important thing. It doesn't matter if you score four goals in three games, as long as you can get nine league points, that's enough.

You know, in the entire Premier League, only Chelsea and Arsenal have maintained a record of three games, and the rest of the teams can only be chasers.

However, compared with Arsenal, Chelsea are obviously on the other extreme. They achieved three consecutive victories with extremely strong defense.

On the other hand, the Arsenal team relied on their strong offensive ability in the midfield to wantonly destroy the defenses of other teams. In the first three games, this group of gunners produced by the Arsenal scored a total of twelve goals. Among them, in the second game, they even completed a big reversal of five goals.

Not only that, these Gunners have also created another new record in the Premier League. They have maintained an unbeaten 43 games in the league.

Nottingham Forest's record of 1977 consecutive unbeaten rounds in England's top league between 1979 and 42 passed away in Wenger's hands.

It is really rare that you encounter such a strong Arsenal at the beginning of the league. They have always seemed a little slow in the past, but this time Wenger did not let the team continue to slow down. He even accepted French media interviews Said at the time, this season, he hopes to be a leader.

This old guy has indeed done what he said, three league rounds, twelve goals, they rely on the advantage of goal difference, leading the Chelsea team.

Because Wenger has seen the horror of Chelsea from the game between Chelsea and Manchester United, he doesn't want to fall behind at the start this time, especially when the two teams are in London and lost to their own city rivalry. Opponents are indeed not a pleasant thing to do.

Although Arsenal is in a very strong state now, Wenger is very clear that the derby between London teams this season will be very cruel. Tottenham, Chelsea, Arsenal, Everton, Crystal Palace, and Fulham, London look set for a big scuffle.

Especially with the support of Chelsea with a lot of money, this strong attempt to usurp power and seize the throne has been clearly revealed, and Wenger must play up his spirits.

Otherwise, the arsenal he created might be like the Manchester United team, which would be severely overthrown by the fierce and savage blue army.

When many people criticize Chelsea's utilitarian and conservative style of play, no one will find fault with the team led by Wenger, because they are too perfect.

Henry, Pires, Van Persie, Bergkamp, ​​all of these offensive players have supported the backbone of the Arsenal team. Even Sky TV has listed it as the most powerful contender for the Champions League this season. Wenger The attack lines trained by the beasts are indeed showing their sharpness.

"When Chelsea and Arsenal start at the same time, I have no doubts that I will choose to watch the Gunners show instead of going to see a group of muscular men."

Even the former England center Lineker, who has always occupied a neutral position in TV comments, said so frankly in his own program.

But only Wenger knows how dangerous the Chelsea team is. There are many offensive lunatics in the Premier League, but few are so solid defensively.

Being able to defend Manchester United is enough to make Wenger alert, and he has not conceded a goal in three consecutive games. This kind of control over the game really made Wenger break out in a lot of cold sweat, even he himself did not understand , In the end, can this group of gunmen in their own arsenal smash Chelsea's defense.

Perhaps such an assumption can only be resolved when the two teams actually meet, but now even Wenger himself has no idea.

The offensive line he built can be said to be a bit invincible now, but whether he can knock on Chelsea's goal still needs to be verified by the game.

But Henry and Pires, the main players of the Arsenal team, have expressed their views on Chelsea on different occasions, with a challenging heart and a sharp edge.

But now Wenger's hidden worries are not without. Behind his team's powerful attacking power is a not-so-stable line of defense. Although they scored twelve goals in three games, they also conceded four. The ball, and against a team like Middlesbrough, they still conceded three goals in a row.

If this were Manchester United or Chelsea, and Arsenal's defense performed so badly, even Wenger didn't know what would happen.

Although Wenger did not compliment his opponent, this does not prevent people from comparing him with Ferguson and Mourinho. It is just that the Portuguese who often chokes reporters at press conferences is not keen on those reporters giving himself In the game of finding an opponent, he still has many problems to face now.

Although he won the game, in these three games, Mourinho still picked a lot of problems for the team. Although there are not many defensive problems, they are not without them. It's just that compared to other positions, the defense line is considered to be a big problem. Worry-free, the main reason is that the striker combination he spent the most time on has a problem,

In the three games that have been played, the striker only contributed one goal. Only against Birmingham, Didier Drogba scored a goal in front of the goal.

In the game against Manchester United, Lin Yi broke the deadlock. In the game against Crystal Palace, it was Lampard who scored a goal in the first and second halves. Chelsea spent a lot of money to build a striker, and it seems that they have not fully entered the state, at least in the game. In terms of the number of goals, they did not show their worth of tens of millions.

Especially Drogba, who spent nearly 3000 million euros to transfer, in three games, he only scored one goal, and his state seems to be very average.

It's not that Lin Yi and Lampard have created good shooting opportunities for Drogba, but the African elephant always seems very impatient when it comes to finishing the goal.

In the game against Birmingham, although he scored a goal, the guy wasted a lot of opportunities in front of goal, missing at least three must-have goals.

Mourinho asked Brito to help Drogba adjust his mentality in private. He understood that the high price has now become Drogba's burden.

The worth of 3000 million euros is indeed a pressure, especially when seeing that kid Lin Yi perform well on the court, Drogba will feel that kind of pressure surrounding him, as long as he makes another mistake on the court, this guy's The expression will be very unnatural, which is really bad.

The more Drogba wants to perform well, the more likely he will go wrong when he is playing on the court. Sometimes, when he shoots with confidence during training, he will miss the goal because of his emotional imbalance. Mourinho can only I sighed that not everyone has the big heart of Lin Yi.

Anyway, that kid never feels pressured, as long as he plays, he will always be in a state of excitement, stage fright?Please, how is it possible.

For that shameless little bastard, the only thing he is timid is that Mourinho will not let him play, otherwise, no one can stop him.

Drogba's state is still being adjusted, but the rest of the strikers are also quite weak, which makes Mourinho a bit melancholy. Kezhiman doesn't even have a chance to play now, and Mutu is only in a short period of time. During his playing time, he occasionally showed his talents, but he also missed the goal.

Both Robben and Duff have repeated injuries, so in the last two games, it is best not to give them the task of activating the striker.

Now Chelsea's craziest attack is their midfielder, four goals, and the midfielder has arranged three of them. This offensive ability is really amazing.

But Mourinho himself knows why the midfield is so crazy. Although Lampard recognized Lin Yi's ability on the field, this guy will not willingly give up his main position. In the game against Crystal Palace, The guy justified his ability with two goals.

In the first two games, Lin Yi assisted and scored one goal at a time, while Lampard contributed two goals very simply, and the competition became more intense.

But the competition between these two guys didn't have any bad words or any discord. Most of the time, they still spent all their energy on the court.

But the kid Lin Yi still felt a little upset that Mourinho didn't throw himself on the field in the third game. He really wanted to compete with Lampard.

But Brito persuaded the little guy, "The Premier League schedule is too long. If you add the Champions League and the FA Cup, you will never have to worry about lack of opportunities to play. That guy Jose is also on the field. Find the best offensive combination for the team, let him be quiet."

In fact, Lin Yi was not really dissatisfied, but if he was not allowed to play for a few minutes, he always felt as if his body was rusted.

Although Lin Yi did not play consecutively, it does not mean that he will disappear from people's sight, beat Manchester United, and killed Birmingham with assists. Lin Yi has become the target of many fans with such an eye-catching performance, especially Those football pundits who sit in front of the camera and talk.

For them, this season is an era of endless newcomers in the Premier League, and they are happy to interpret these young people in a critical way.

Not only was Lin Yi shining brightly in his Premier League debut, many teams seemed to have discussed it, and at the same time launched their own new generation of players, and many of them performed very eye-catching. Like Arsenal and Manchester United, young players are now the absolute main force.

Lin Yi's excellent performance in the first two games has wiped out many people's doubts about his worth, although some people think that this is just his temporary outbreak, and it does not mean that he can continue to play so steadily , In the world of the Premier League, there have been too many such new stars who have become passers-by.

There are still many voices of criticism from the outside world, but these cannot obliterate Lin Yi's starlight. Among the newcomers in the Premier League, he is undoubtedly the most brilliant one.

However, Chelsea is still a team dominated by Mesozoic players. New recruits like Lin Yi are still in the minority, but there are many rookies in the rest of the team.

For example, in Arsenal's last three consecutive victories, Fabregas, a Spanish kid, has risen very fast. With veteran players like Pires gradually falling out of favor in Wenger's tactical system, this guy who was favored by Wenger The kid dug out from the La Masia training camp became the main force.

Moreover, this kid has indeed shown extraordinary skill in organizing the midfield. The only thing he lacks now is the ability to control the field.

Arsenal has more than one Cesc Fabregas. Recently, young guys like Van Persie have all begun to gain a firm foothold within the team.

If the current Arsenal team is still ruled by King Henry, then in the next two or three years, Arsenal's young people will become the masters of the team.

It is precisely because of the frequent appearance of these little guys that Wenger has the confidence to say that for those veterans over 30 years old, he only signs once a year.

Many British media also said in reports that it would not be uncommon for Arsenal to undergo a major change during the transfer period next year.

Because Wenger has hoarded enough talented boys, but Wenger knows that the kid he wants most has already been snatched away.

Compared with the rapidly growing young people at Arsenal, Ferguson is also the first time to use a large number of new players this season, including young players like Rooney and Ronaldo, who have begun to enter the main lineup. Fletcher, Fortune, etc. People, also began to gradually occupy the 16-man roster.

Especially Ronaldo, after his debut season, the explosive trend of this season is obvious. In the first three games, he sent a total of two assists, except for the first game against Chelsea. Completely at a disadvantage, he played well in the remaining two games.

Mendes knew why that guy suddenly exploded, because this kid lost to Lin Yi again in the first game, and he was very depressed.

"Damn, why every time I meet that kid, I have to watch him explode, but I have to be the background guy of the tragedy!"

This is the motivation for Ronaldo's explosion. He doesn't want to be the tragedy of being stepped on by Lin Yi again, so he needs to use his actual performance to justify his name.

Manchester United can be regarded as a blessing from Ronaldo and Rooney. It can win two consecutive victories precisely because of the strong performance of these two boys on the court.

These batches of novices began to explode in the early stages of the league. It seems that this season's Premier League will be a chaotic world. Lin Yi, Cesc Fabregas, Ronaldo, Rooney, who among these young people can stand On the final championship podium, it depends on their own ability.

The person who can break out from the crowd is the final winner. I don't know if that black-haired kid will become the new conqueror of the Premier League. . .

(Depressed, I lost the basketball lottery yesterday. I bet that the Lakers could win, but they would lose if they allowed 6.5 points. In the end...uh, he won by 7 points!!! I strongly protest, this is definitely a shady scene!!!)
