Midfielder.

Chapter 226

Just like what that kid Lin Yi expected, his calf was not seriously injured except for a little bruise and swelling. Bowyer's kick did not make him miss the top spot due to injury. war.

But Bowyer, the perpetrator, had to accept a three-match suspension for such a foul. In addition, he had to lose money. This guy had to pay a high fine of at least [-] euros.

This is not that the executives of the league committee want to take care of Chelsea, but that Bowyer's behavior is completely discrediting the Premier League. If the high-pressure policy is not implemented, it will encourage such bad fouls to continue.

It can only be said that Bowyer committed the crime at the hands of Lin Yi, and he should be unlucky, who made it okay for him to mess with this little lunatic.
However, Mourinho still told Lin Yi, this little guy, to check his body carefully. After all, the season is still long, and he doesn't want to leave any troubles, especially in this kind of hard sports, which is definitely a fatal killer for football players. He is only 17 years old, and the days to come are still long, so there is no need to struggle with his body.

But after Lin Yi rested in the hospital for only one day, this kid showed up on the training ground at Stamford Bridge on time. He didn't want to waste time lying on the hospital bed.

Mourinho has nothing to do with this desperate kid, he can only let him go, except to tell Faria and the team doctor to report Lin Yi's physical condition to him at any time.

Before the war is approaching, Mourinho must also tighten the string in his mind and must not relax for a moment.

Now Chelsea's full attention has also been aimed at the "arsenal" that is closely behind him in the standings. This top battle may determine who can occupy a more favorable position in the standings before the start of the devil's schedule , Perhaps this will become a watershed in determining the ownership of the Premier League champion this season.

But it is obviously Arsenal's side that is under more pressure. They are not only going to be broken as chasers in the Premier League.

In the group stage of the Champions League, they also have to work hard every game to ensure that they qualify as No.1 in the group. They can't afford to lose a game in the remaining two games, otherwise, they can't guarantee that nothing will happen. Accident.

After all, dark horses ran rampant in last year's Champions League. Who knows if there will be some weird giant killers this year.

Originally, Arsenal's weak performance in the Champions League in recent years has become a heart problem for Wenger's old man, so now he doesn't want any surprises.

It cannot be said that he is now trying his best to fight for the Champions League, but it is obvious that after winning the league championship, his focus on winning the championship is indeed on the European arena. The championship that has not been won will always have endless appeal.

After all, being able to win the championship trophy in the Champions League may also be the most important bargaining chip for him to keep Henry. He doesn't want the apprentice he brought out by himself to choose to leave because of the team's performance, not to mention that there is no one in the team who can replace Henry. s position.

The boy Van Persie's ability is good, but he has been suffering from minor injuries since he joined, and the boy's hot temper is also a problem. The most important thing is that he lacks experience in some important games.

Compared with Henry's old-fashioned game experience, Van Persie is indeed a bit tender, and it is difficult to provoke a heavy burden.

Reyes, who was originally highly regarded by Wenger, has become a rare transfer failure case of the French old man in recent years. The Spaniard's state is always so ups and downs. Sometimes he can shine in the Champions League The whole game, but back to the Premier League, it was like an eggplant beaten by frost.

Now even the newly joined Flamini and rookie Cesc Fabregas are better than him. At least in terms of adaptability and confrontation, those two guys are far better than Reyes. Feel the psychological fear of this fierce confrontation.

Since the matchup with Manchester United, Reyes seems to have suffered from a phobia for the ferocious tackling of Premier League defenders. He often complains to familiar Spanish reporters that his opponent seems to be murdering.

Although Wenger can give Reyes guidance in many aspects, but cowardice is difficult to correct.

This is not Spain, there is no such emphasis on technology, England is like this, physicality and confrontation are fundamental.

This kind of psychological fear may only be overcome by Reyes himself, but looking at his current bad situation, it seems that there is no possibility of change at all, and Wenger seems to be a little ready to give up on him.

Otherwise, the French old man wouldn't have used Reyes as an extension when he was fighting for Lin Yi's transfer.

The only solution that Wenger can think of now is to quickly deal with this tricky trouble at a discount, but he must be mentally prepared to lose several million euros, which is definitely not profitable when buying and selling.

Unlike the situation where Arsenal was deeply mired in the Champions League, Chelsea had already used a sweeping posture to secure the first place in the group a week before the start of the top battle, but it was the unlucky Porto team that sent them to qualify ahead of schedule.

This Champions League winner, who shocked Europe last season, fell at the speed of light. During the entire group stage, they didn't play any decent games at all. The results were either tied or lost, which made people feel depressed.

Although Da Costa spent a lot of transfer fees, the Porto team that was black to the end last season has disappeared. They have long lost the kind of bravery that is not afraid of any opponent, and also lost a kind of soul.

Before they met Chelsea, they were already at the bottom of the group. Unless God comes, otherwise, they may not even have to play in the UEFA Cup.

This is also the first time for Lin Yi and Mourinho's old Porto players to return to the place where they fought after the transfer, and the way they are greeted has not changed. It seems as much as when we won the championship a few months ago.

Especially the sound of cheers for Lin Yi filled the entire airport. Although this kid has already left, the people here seem to have regarded him as their own child. voices cheered him.

"We are his foil every time. It's really unfair." When Ferreira saw this scene, he curled his lips and said to Carvalho. Although this guy was joking, seeing Lin Yi's kind The crazy popularity really made Ferreira very melancholy.

They all come from the same team, so the treatment is a bit too bad!Anyway, there are really not many voices cheering for Ferreira and Carvalho.

"This is the life of a defender. If you can go crazy like that kid in the Champions League last season, maybe you can also win so many applause and shouts. Anyway, I have long been used to it.", Carvalho said It is indeed true.

Even when the TV plays back the classic scenes of the Champions Cup, the shots of offensive players will always be the main theme, defender?It's better to stay where it's cool.

Besides, those crazy things that kid did last season, even now in retrospect, will make your blood boil, no wonder those Porto fans treat him like a god.

The Chelsea players also saw the madness of the Porto aunts' cheering group for the first time. When those turbulent aunts rushed up, even the security guards at the airport couldn't stand it. Maybe he will be ravaged again by those crazy women. Although Drogba and those guys are very envious of Lin Yi's treatment, Lin Yi doesn't want to enjoy this kind of rubbing.

But Lin Yi was a little surprised to see the crazy actions the city made for his return. After all, this time he came to the door as an opponent of Porto, but it was as if he had never left here, and the cheers remained the same. The shouts are still there.

"Maybe one day I don't want to play football anymore and I should come back here. Maybe this place feels more like home." Looking at the crazy fans outside the bus, Lin Yi whispered unconsciously.

But the cheers are all cheers, once Lin Yi's feet are on the turf, his eyes are only on the opponent's goal, and all he thinks about is victory.

Mourinho also had the same idea as him. Although he had a phone call with Da Costa the day before the game, when he stepped on the field, this guy only had the idea of ​​victory in his mind. It is estimated that no one can change his habit.

However, facing the old owner, Mourinho did not kill all for the first time. After leading 2:0, he plunged into the fence and did not continue to ravage his opponent.

Perhaps for Mourinho, he didn't want to hear the sighs in the Dragon Stadium. After he got the three-pointer, he chose to control the game.

Relying on Chelsea's strong personal ability and tough defense, if Porto wants to recover the two conceded goals, it is simply an impossible task.

And Lin Yi is also facing his old friends in the midfield, continuing to show his increasingly powerful organizational skills, but this time he rarely dribbles through. In this stadium, he does not want to hear those words There were voices of despair from the fans he was familiar with.

Although those two goals were also initiated from Lin Yi's feet, Lin Yi did not participate in the team's celebration when Drogba scored two goals in a row.

He just waved at the fans who were still holding his own jersey. When he was replaced, he didn't enter the locker room. He just picked up a Porto jersey he once wore and put it on his body. The fans who shouted for themselves roared dissatisfied with Porto.

Although Brito wanted to tell Lin Yi that doing so might attract some inexplicable reports, the expression on that kid's face made him choose to shut up, but just as he thought, Kenny who came with the team En is really a little uncomfortable with this nostalgic feeling.

As the first sky-high signing in the team, but put on the opponent's jersey when facing the old owner, in Kenyon's view, it is not in the interests of Chelsea, but with continuous victories, It is impossible for him to trouble Lin Yi because of such a small matter.

Even Kenyon knew that the kid couldn't be easily moved, no matter whether it was the team's competitive level or his appeal among the fans.

But this guy still communicated with Mendes once in an insinuating way, but when Mendes and Lin Yi talked about it, the boy's answer was just one sentence, "Let that businessman take care of his own affairs." , I don’t need him to worry so much about what I love to do.”

A guy who is a businessman from the bottom of his heart can never understand Lin Yi's feelings. Porto is the place where he grew up. This memory can never be erased by his vitality. Putting on that Porto jersey is what he misses Every day and night here, every drop of sweat falls.

Lin Yi only wanted to be responsible for those who cheered for him. As for the nonsense of a businessman, he selectively ignored it. Dare to raise the middle finger to the chairman of the club, so now he still cares about offending a businessman?What's more, he and that guy have never had any intersection.

2:0, such a score finally left a little face for the Dragon Stadium, at least they did not suffer from the crazy massacre of Chelsea like the other two opponents. Even if they lost, it was due to the disparity in strength between the two sides. Yes, there is no way to make up for it.

However, the loss of this game also means that Porto's dark horse color has completely faded, and they have once again become the second-tier European team. The European Champions Cup last season now seems to be just a passing cloud.

When all the glory is gone, there is only one kind of pain left for them. Their glorious moment has come to an end at this moment.

But fortunately, in that sea blue team, there is the little guy they are most familiar with, and they can still cheer for Lin Yi.

When leaving Porto, Lin Yi looked back at this city that was unusually quiet under the night, as if saying goodbye to a part of his life.

I didn't feel this way when I transferred to Lin Yi, but when I ended the legend with my own hands, too many things that happened here appeared in my mind, including the first league championship trophy, the first UEFA Cup , scored for the first time in the Champions League.

The first professional contract, the first meeting with Mourinho, and the first time frantically pulling the jersey in front of him, cheering and shouting.

Uh, I almost forgot, and the first time I met that little witch, at the moment of saying goodbye to the past, for some reason, Lin Yi thought of the little girl who is still busy with her studies and acting career in the United States, maybe That was also the first time he had ever experienced.

Of course, this kind of experience is really painful, and Lin Yi doesn't want to do it again. Although the two of them often talk on the phone now, Lin Yi is more afraid of that little witch. What kind of weird idea, he doesn't want to be punished again.

Farewell is sometimes a bit sad, but for Lin Yi, this is the time for him to take off his past honors and go on the road again.

Premier League champion, perhaps that is the first trophy he wants to grab in the top European leagues, anyone who tries to block his progress, Lin Yi will kick away mercilessly.

Chelsea's away game against Arsenal is estimated to be a rare highlight in the last five league rounds. Even in the entire European competition, this can be regarded as the most important focus confrontation.

TV stations in many countries are ready to broadcast the broadcast. It is conservatively estimated that at least tens of millions of people will watch this game at the same time. It is estimated that even the previous confrontation between Manchester United and Arsenal did not attract such a large amount of attention.

It has to be said that it is Abramovich's banknotes that have quickly accumulated so much popularity for Chelsea. Everyone may like to see this kind of collision between money and tradition. As for who wins and who loses, the only people who care about it may be their fans.

More people are still watching the excitement. If Chelsea wins, it means money is paramount. If Arsenal wins, it means traditional power. Anyway, neither side lacks supporters.

This time the broadcast lineup can be considered strong enough, including traditional media such as Sky TV and the BBC, which have begun to report overwhelmingly, and any newspaper has all kinds of warm-ups for this showdown. information.

It came from regular channels, from small trails. Anyway, before the war, this kind of disturbing news will always fill everyone's ears. This level of intensive bombing is to make people pay attention to this game, as if If you don't watch it, you will definitely regret it.

Arsene Wenger faced Mourinho, Arsenal's guns faced Chelsea's steel defense line, this kind of confrontation between the tip of the needle and the wheat can easily ignite the flames of war between the fans of the two sides, even those who are going to watch the excitement, they will not realize it plunged into this crazy atmosphere.

A battle for the top spot will definitely not lack the smell of gunpowder, especially when many people are still fanning the flames. The atmosphere of this decisive battle has been heated up as early as a week ago. Even the old guy Ferguson is also being interviewed Add oil and vinegar from time to time to heat up the game.

"I think Arsenal will definitely defend the honor of Highbury. People like Wenger will never allow their opponents to win at home." It may be the first time Ferguson has defended his old opponent in public. say good things.

This old Scottish man is very shrewd in his calculations. Anyway, if Arsenal and Chelsea meet, if they want to decide the outcome, both sides may have to pay a certain price, especially Chelsea, who are playing away. Will hit the toughest Arsenal.

The gap is only three points, and this is a matter of one game, especially when playing at home, Wenger will definitely use this opportunity to even out the gap between the two sides in the standings. Will not let go of such a good opportunity to tie the opponent.

And if this game loses, it will be a disaster for Arsenal. After all, when the devil's schedule comes, Chelsea's thick bench will become their biggest advantage in grabbing points, and Arsenal don't have Such a luxurious bench lineup.

With Arsenal likely to be distracted by the European war, Chelsea's cunning Portuguese is likely to use this opportunity to grab points.

No one can guarantee what will happen in the future, just like Ferguson himself did not expect his team to hover outside the top three in the standings in the new season. In this chaotic season, anything can happen. It is not impossible to plunder the championship with funds.

And after losing the first game against Chelsea, Ferguson would not doubt this assumption even more. The Portuguese, who had been unbeaten in three games, put him under a lot of pressure. Now he can only It is hoped that Wenger, an old opponent, will hold back the opponent's progress.

Therefore, Sir Alex did not hesitate to say a good word for Wenger in front of the media. As long as Arsenal can win the game, he will never be stingy with words of praise.

It can be said that the Chelsea team has become a thorn in the side of many traditional strong teams because of its strong ability to grab points. If anyone can overthrow it, those who believe in tradition will be excited. Have such a view.

Perhaps in the traditional and rigid thinking of the English, it is still unacceptable that the Russian waved a lot of checks to buy their Premier League champions.

Before the start of the game, many people were cheering for Arsenal, including their former opponents and many who opposed Chelsea.

Anyway, Arsenal's home game against Chelsea this time has been regarded by many people as a battle for the league title. It is estimated that no one wants to lose such a game.

Perhaps this crazy atmosphere has aroused the subconscious madness of too many people. Wenger also provoked psychological warfare for the first time. This kind of practice is indeed relatively rare for this old French man, except for that old fellow Ferguson. In addition, few people can arouse the belligerence in his heart.

But this time Wenger chose to strike first, maybe this time he was playing on his territory, so Wenger appeared to be very active in the challenge.

"Although Arsenal are only second in the standings, I believe that after Sunday's game, we will regain the top spot and take back the place that belongs to us, and we, like Chelsea, are in the league. Just one loss, which is an excellent result."

"Sunday is bound to be intense, but at Highbury, Arsenal rarely lose and this time, I think, will be no exception."

This is also the first time Wenger has been so tough before the game after losing to Manchester United and ending his unbeaten record in the league. Maybe this old French man also wants to use such a game to cheer up the team. After all, in a brilliant After the season, the players will always have ups and downs.

Wenger also wants to use this method to stimulate his players, so that they have a desire for the league championship again, and they want to win that honor again.

But Mourinho has never been a vegetarian. After Wenger publicly expressed his desire to win, he also said in an interview, "I have only one goal when I come to Chelsea, and that is the championship trophy." , As for whether I can win all the opponents, I am not sure. When the league ends, it must be Chelsea who will lift the trophy. I believe in my players very much.

The coaches of the two teams have already ignited the flames for this game in advance, and the battle is imminent. . .

And Lin Yi was also in front of the TV, looking at the opponent he was about to meet, a dark and tall Frenchman, he was quite a fierce opponent. . .

(Is there any suspense in La Liga now??? 10 points, this gap, how embarrassing are you for Real Madrid...)
