Midfielder.

Chapter 227

The game between Chelsea and Arsenal was deliberately arranged in the last game of this round, which is intended to highlight the importance of this game.

Tickets for this game were also sold out two weeks ago, especially fans from Chelsea. This may be the first time that they have stepped into the gate of Highbury Stadium with full confidence. Say something to the strong team above your head, "Our Chelsea is ready to be the boss!"

It is the first time in the history of Chelsea that the four fronts are all red. The strong performance of the team has made the fans look a lot more confident. Now they can expect more honors.

Even in the pub, these guys are willing to bet on the weekend when they meet Arsenal fans. It may be the closest Chelsea have to the Premier League title, and they are more confident than ever at the moment. Fully capable of taking down any opponent.

Especially after Arsenal was under their own pressure and became the chaser of the standings, Chelsea fans can be said to be very elated. It was the first time they found such a cool feeling on the football field!

However, this top game is not good news for other teams, especially those who are still chasing behind Arsenal and Chelsea. They can only take three points. , it can be said that there is no other choice.

Now the leaders are under pressure, but the pressure on these chasers is also not small, especially the more stable Chelsea's performance, the more nervous they will be.

It was because of the pressure of chasing points that Manchester United let them lose their goal in the last minute when they faced Fulham, and once again lost the chance to get three points, which also made them lose in the Chelsea game. Before the game even kicked off, they were already 1 points behind the leaderboard.

With 9 points and three games, it is indeed difficult to recover such a big gap against Chelsea, which rarely makes mistakes. This result really made many Manchester United fans feel a little frustrated, even very depressed. The Red Devils fans who came vented their dissatisfaction with violence. They vented their depression with fights outside Fulham's home court.

Not only the fans can't accept such things, even Manchester United's own staff can't tolerate such things happening again and again. Ferguson almost couldn't control his fiery temper when he was off the field. On and on.

Complaining, this old man is complaining and cursing now, everyone who plays on the field has become the target of his curses, because this damn game really makes him very unhappy, this is Manchester United ?
Is this still the Red Devils that swept the Premier League and galloped across Europe?Fuck, shit, a bunch of idiots, these guys are sleepwalking!

The league has only been less than halfway through so far, but such a poor result is really an unacceptable fact for Ferguson. After the game, the old man almost refused all interviews with a black face. Know if he went back to the locker room to vent his anger.

But with Fulham's Boa Mott, Bonisel, Jensen, Crosley and Lee Clark all out due to injuries, the embarrassment of not being able to win the opponent is not worth it anyway. There is no way to explain Manchester United's continued weakness in the Premier League this season.

Although this is at the opponent's home court, a team like Manchester United has no other choice but to score three points, and it has no excuse for losing points at all.

But they played so badly in this game. Even the goal was scored by a controversial penalty. The referee did not give Fulham any care during the whole game. If it is really counted, Manchester United's goal The ball may be disallowed and a penalty may be awarded.

Even with the help of the referee, Manchester United's goal was lost at the last moment. Diop used a ground-breaking long shot to get Howard.

When the game ended, the unlucky referee was driven away by tens of thousands of people with curses. Everyone was saying that this guy was nakedly using the rules to help Manchester United. Otherwise, the Red Devils would never want to take a point from here.

But even this kind of help did not allow the Red Devils to take away the victory from here. Even in the game, they may still lose. This is really a very speechless thing, Fulham?Damn, such a team was still hovering in the British Championship a few seasons ago, but now it can grab points from Manchester United. How can Ferguson bear it?Can he bear it?

Not only did Manchester United suffer setbacks this weekend, dark horse Bolton also lost, and the gap between them and Chelsea widened to seven points. After nearly half a season of tempering, many people have begun to get used to Bolton's playing Well, the color of the black horse is fading.

The only one that can maintain the pursuit ability is Everton coached by Moyes. They used their tenacious defense to snipe the traditional giants Liverpool again at their home court. A header without aesthetic feeling opened the door of Liverpool.

Moreover, in the whole game, the Red Army did not find any good offensive method at all. Every pass they passed was either intercepted or blocked by the opponent's extremely fierce back line. Even Gerrard's long-range shot was blocked. Did not find a suitable kicking opportunity, which made the Red Army very depressed.

Strong defense, active steals, now Moyes has completely transferred Chelsea's set, he is using such a pure engineer style of play to torture the opponent's nerves, counterattack when there is a chance, and grind hard when there is no chance Bubble, this is the secret of Moyes grabbing points.

Keep the possibility of getting one point first, and then go for three points, absolutely don't be greedy for success, Moyes started to grab points in such an unambitious way.

Anyway, as long as he doesn’t lose, Moyes can accept any result, even if the newspapers the next day say how ugly and disgusting his team is playing, it doesn’t matter. It’s because of this practical way to the bone that the Everton team is now stable. This may be the first time they have grabbed such a good ranking in the Premier League.

This also made many Everton fans shout the slogan of participating in the European War for the first time, but they are not participating in the UEFA Cup, what they want is the Champions Cup!
Moyes' team has given them this desire, and if Everton can keep playing with such tenacity, maybe this is not a luxury.

In addition to not having the terrifying offensive efficiency of the Chelsea team, Moyes' Everton team has also performed the defensive counterattack to an extreme.

It can be seen that although Moyes has not commented on Mourinho's tactical arrangements in public, he has already used practical actions to support this outsider. It doesn't matter whether the tactics are good-looking. Winning is the last word. No one likes flamboyance, especially professional coaches.

It’s no wonder that some people said after the game that Mourinho has now influenced the Premier League with his actions, his conservative tactics are being sought after by more and more teams, and pure physical confrontation games are beginning to flood in the Premier League.

"The strangulation battle of killing inspiration with muscles is being staged more and more. This is the result of the Portuguese." Those anti-Chelsea critics criticized Mourini with such unabashed words The utilitarian style Austria brought to the Premier League.

"Are there many coaches who make the team give up defense in order to make the game better? It's a damn theory." Mourinho scoffed at those voices of criticism. For him, the only role of the head coach It is to lead the team to win the game.

As for what tactics to use, what does it matter?When fans become more and more eager to win, only winning is the way for the coach to survive.

"There are always some moralists who criticize others to show their intelligence or justice, otherwise they will lose the audience." Lin Yi has long been used to the nonsense of those people, just like those people would think that he was The Premier League will perform poorly as well.

A dog that bites will never keep barking. Those dogs that bark often will not show their teeth easily. This is the truth.

After Liverpool's loss in this game, the Red Army has dropped out of ten in the league standings. Perhaps the question that those fanatical Liverpool fans should consider now is not whether they can still win the Premier League, but to consider Is it time to shout the slogan of relegation?

Based on Liverpool’s continued slump, no one can guarantee that they will suddenly wake up. Even Gerrard himself said that they must cheer up to cope with the league now, otherwise, they may even participate in the UEFA Champions League next season. No qualifications to fight.

That would be a disaster for a traditional giants, especially for Gerrard himself, if there is no decent honor added.

There is no guarantee that he will not choose to leave the Red Army. After all, loyalty pales in comparison to a blank career. Ending his career empty-handed is probably unacceptable to any star. Gerrard also hopes for his honor The titles of champions are written all over the book.

Although Gerrard has not expressed his disappointment with the team in any public places, in private, the Liverpool leader has complained.

Poor results, chaotic staffing, turmoil at the top of the club, as well as pressure from fans and the team, all made this guy look very depressed, and some people even took the initiative to break the news, Gerrard also said in a party with friends It is only unconfirmed that he will leave Liverpool.

This kind of gossip that frequently appears in newspapers will always be used by some people. Kenyon, who is afraid of chaos in the world, is going to start thinking about the transfer of the spiritual leader of the Red Army when Liverpool is gradually sluggish this season. Chances of meeting Chelsea.

A player who can definitely be called an idol and a capable player. The most important thing is that Gerrard is a leader in the UK. Field collocation, it does look a bit attractive.

He even talked unscrupulously about the core midfielder of the Red Army in public, thinking that such an excellent player should not always miss the Premier League championship. If he can join Chelsea, then the Blue Army will create a team that is famous all over Europe. A luxurious teacher who can be proud of one side.

It could be a pretty good future, and Kenyon dared to say in front of anyone that he would give Gerrard a salary worthy of his worth.

This is definitely not good news for Liverpool, which itself is in the process of transferring shares in the team. This kind of money offensive is not only a naked show off, but also puts a lot of pressure on them, not only the current management but also the future. The receivers feel the crisis.

They warned Kenyon in a very stern tone in public, telling him not to get involved in his core, Gerrard is absolutely not for sale.

But Kenyon doesn't believe in evil, and he doesn't care what others think of him. Anyway, he will always try his best to achieve what he wants to do.

Not for sale?There are not many people in the football circle who are really not for sale. This is a very realistic circle. Loyalty has become more and more rare here. As long as the price is high enough, most players and clubs will end up only Could be a choice to compromise.

Kenyon's seduction plan did not stop. Even if he was described as a devil by Liverpool's management, it would not prevent him from flirting with Gerrard.

This time Mourinho did not stop Kenyon's move. When Makelele began to gradually decline from the peak, he really needed someone who could also help the team in the midfielder position, and Jay A player like Ladd who can attack and retreat is indeed very attractive.

Think about it, Gerrard, Lampard, Lin Yi, Robben, Duff, if there are so many guys in the midfield at the same time, what a powerful offensive force it will be, even if only one single player is left Forward Didier Drogba, Chelsea will not lack goals.

But in the face of such public seduction, Kenyon once again became a thorn in the eyes of Liverpool fans and the club, and someone even sent him death threats on email, "You bastard, you better stay away from our Gerrard ! Or you're going to hell!"

Although Kenyon has always caused all kinds of troubles in the Premier League transfer market, it has never been this serious, and he doesn't seem to intend to stop there. Maybe this guy will really transfer in the winter When the door opened, an offer was officially made to Liverpool.

Abramovich's statement on this matter also seems very straightforward, as long as Gerrard has the possibility of coming, then this time he doesn't mind creating another sky-high transfer.

Being able to poach the core of competitors, this kind of plundering business, Abramovich has always been very handy. Anyway, except for Chelsea fans, he rarely finds people to be seen. It doesn't matter if he creates more enemies or opponents now. He I don't care.

This world is like this, as long as you are strong enough, many mistakes will eventually be rendered into very wise decisions by the reality of success.

Abramovich is used to being such a successful person. Anyway, under the feet of every dynasty-level club, there will be many losers. There are rich and weak, but history can only record who is the most successful in this era. people instead of caring for those who fell.

This secret transfer battle that started in early December is just another prelude to the small-scale cleaning and signings within Chelsea, but before that, what Abramovich hopes to see most is that the team can completely Crush Arsenal's block and further consolidate the top position.

And Mourinho is going to defeat another legendary coach in the Premier League club, a wise and elegant French old man, a guy who is shrewd in his bones.

Only by defeating the former legend can you become the next legend. This is an impact of the new generation on the old tradition, and it is also a hurdle that Mourinho must overcome in order to rule the Premier League.

Manchester United lost, Liverpool lost, can Arsenal be far behind?Undefeated champions, a great team, a pretty good opponent.

When Mourinho and all Chelsea players stepped into the dressing room at Highbury Stadium, Mourinho wrote a sentence on the blackboard, "Here, beat the champions and let them completely become part of history." , we are the newest page of the Premier League!"

Drogba, Lampard, Lin Yi, Robben, Duff, Makelele, Terry, Gallas, Carvalho, Ferreira, Petr Cech, when facing a strong player, Mourinho does not I will leave room for the big ones, "Use the strongest Chelsea to defeat the opponent here, this is my request!"

The answer to Mourinho is the roar of a group of beasts, even if it is Highbury here, they will tear their opponents apart with their strength!
Wenger will also not neglect such an important game, Henry, Bergkamp, ​​Pires, Flamini, Reyes, Vieira, Lauren, Toure, Campbell, Ashley Cole Well, all these strong players are also on the stage, and it can be seen that this old man is ready to have a hard time at Highbury and Chelsea.

Just like what Ferguson said when he provoked the anger of the coaches of both sides, Arsenal can't afford to lose this game.

If he is still unable to beat his opponent while occupying the advantage of the home field, then Wenger will miss the best opportunity.

Fortunately, the gap between the two sides is only three points. A victory in one game is enough for Wenger to regain the disadvantage. At home, win the game. This is the feast that Wenger is preparing to welcome Chelsea at Highbury.

He wants Arsenal to show that kind of toughness that is rare, to let the opponents understand whose territory this is. Anyone who comes to Highbury must be a man with his tail between his legs, even when the Manchester United team visits. !
The moment the coaches of the two sides met before the game, the camera captured a very interesting shot. Neither Wenger nor Mourinho had a smile on their faces. They didn't even hold hands.

Such scenes are rare for Wenger, who has always paid attention to etiquette. Even when he meets his old enemy Ferguson, such embarrassing scenes will not appear.

The smell of gunpowder has permeated the entire stadium. The 22 people in the player tunnel looked at each other with a fierce fighting spirit. . .

(The Heat have been reversed again. This... the little emperor should be very depressed today. If they play the playoffs like this, it will probably be a tragedy...)
