Midfielder.

Chapter 417

Chelsea simply won Arsenal. This may be a complete disappointment for the fans of Arsenal. They were originally the rivals of London City, but now they are overwhelmed by the opponent.

Being overtaken by the opponent in the league last season and finally losing the championship title made Arsenal fans a little sad, but now they have also suffered a disastrous defeat in the first game of the new season.

Especially in the first 45 minutes of the game, the game was played, it was simply crushed and ravaged by the opponent.

Arsenal fans don't know how long it has been since they saw an arsenal where the full main lineup can lose so embarrassingly. Under the onslaught of Chelsea, it seems that Arsenal's defeat is a bit too fast.

It's not just the fans of Arsenal who are a little depressed. Teams like Tottenham Hotspur who are also gathered in London really have to weigh it now. After all, it is really dangerous to compete with Chelsea for territory.

To say something that makes these London teams very depressed, Chelsea's appeal in London has gradually surpassed that of Tottenham and Arsenal. Maybe one day they will become the most popular stadium in London. It seems that the days when London is proud and proud are not far away.

Although Arsenal lost so simply, many commentators still believe that this season's Premier League will not stand alone, especially when Chelsea need to fight on multiple fronts, it will distract a lot of energy.

And compared with last season, although the current Chelsea team has a strong lineup, it is dragged down by the World Cup qualifiers. It is estimated that their physical condition will not be very good, and they may even fall behind in the middle of the league.

This is one of the biggest hidden dangers of big clubs, not only Chelsea, but also the top four teams in the Premier League.

They didn't have a good rest throughout the summer, and they didn't complete the assembly until one month before the start of the game.

If in the middle of the season due to the intensive transition of the schedule and the national team's game tasks, there may be some kind of injury. If that is the case, the team is likely to lose its competitiveness.

Especially for a club like Chelsea, where almost the entire team is a member of the national team, if you are unlucky, there may be a large number of injuries, or many people may have physical problems.

Moreover, Chelsea's schedule this season is more frequent than in the past. They not only have to prepare for the double-line defense, but also compete for more trophies. This overloaded operation is likely to overwhelm the players.

For example, Mourinho made personnel adjustments in the second half of the Community Shield game, not only because they had a big lead and there was no need to slaughter their opponents, but also because he was protecting the main players.

After all, after a busy summer, even if Chelsea prepared for them to reserve physical training, but Faria is not God, all he can do is to help them recover as soon as possible.

Mourinho used the most practical method to protect the players as much as possible and prevent them from being overworked.

Especially for those main players who have experienced the national team competition, Mourinho tried to let them continue to bear the pressure during unnecessary time periods, and that kid Lin Yi is one of the key points for the team to protect.

Now anyone can see that after a season of running-in, Lin Yi has become the absolute core of this team. As long as there are no injuries, his main position is almost unshakable.

However, such an absolute core also has a problem, that is, after he is off the field, Chelsea's offensive blocking is always a little less agile. It seems that no matter who it is, it can't replace the role of this kid.

Obviously, Mourinho has realized what kind of test he will face this season. Before those difficult moments come, he does not want to make any mistakes. It is the best choice to reduce trouble.

However, most people can still recognize the fact that if Chelsea really go all out to compete with you for a certain championship, then your best way is to avoid them, otherwise you must be the one who suffers in the end.

Just like Wenger gave up in the second half of the Community Shield match, even if you fight with the opponent, you may not be able to win this confrontation. At this time, it is better to be single and admit defeat.

And before Chelsea wants to make history, if you really want to block him, it is very likely that you will be unlucky. When Wenger was on the sidelines, he had already seen this clearly, so he chose to avoid it.

It's not a cowardly thing to do, and the old Frenchman knows that this kind of competition is not worth fighting for.

The most important thing is that even if the Arsenal team fights against the opponent, it may not be able to really win the opponent.

The current Chelsea are not the upstarts ridiculed by those reporters and the media. After winning the Champions League, they can be regarded as the upstarts of the Premier League, and the explosive power of the upstarts is terrifying.

Even if they encounter a strong opponent like Arsenal, they can use their strength to suppress their opponents.

Although the French old man congratulated Chelsea on the quadruple crown at the end of the game, he did not give in in front of the reporters and maintained a high morale.

"The Community Shield game was just an outpost. This is a decisive duel. We lost today because the opponent's performance was indeed better than ours, but it doesn't mean anything."

"The cup is just a [-]-meter race, but the league is a marathon. No one can predict what will happen in the few months of the schedule, so Arsenal will not give up the championship."

"And I believe that Chelsea are now under more pressure than Arsenal. Just like last season when we tried to defend the title, in the Premier League, those teams that want to defend the title will encounter a lot of resistance."

The French old man is very cunning, and Mourinho is very clear about this. After losing the Community Shield, Wenger did not forget to remind that Chelsea's current situation is the same as that of him last season.

They also had a strong momentum at the beginning of last season, but how did they end up?Many people have seen it.

This is the difficulty of the defending champion. Once there is any slack, it is likely to be lost forever.

Especially after a glorious season, there will naturally be a downturn. Not only is the opponent difficult to deal with, but there will also be inertia within the team. This is the most troublesome problem for Mourinho.

But fortunately, the guys in Chelsea all have a desire to defend their title.

The main reason is that Lin Yi's main players are not used to losing. When winning has become a habit, it is really difficult for them to accept defeat. No one likes to see themselves dejected.

But the challenges they have to face this season are indeed much more than last season. It is like this in the football world. When you dominate the world, there must be a bunch of people behind you who want to pull you down.

There are too many teams that want to overthrow the league championship, not to mention that Chelsea is still a four-time champion. Killing them is to prove themselves. In this season's league journey, there must be fierce battles waiting for the Blues.

Although Wenger congratulated Chelsea on winning the quadruple title at the end, everyone can see that this old guy is now ready to continue to follow Chelsea and be a cunning old wolf.

Just like last season, Chelsea have been following Arsenal and putting pressure on each other.

Now it's just a role reversal, with Chelsea the defending champions and Arsenal the chasers.

It is not that simple to be a leader in the league. Now Mourinho can also see a smell of gunpowder from the headlines of those newspapers after the game, which is a signal that the flames are about to be ignited.

You can say that Wenger is talking about the scene, especially when he is facing Mourinho, it is impossible to show weakness, but after watching the game, many people are not optimistic about Arsenal's prospects of winning the championship.

Compared with last season, Arsenal's situation has not improved much, especially the overall lineup is even weaker than before. The departure of Vieira and Cole has caused them a lot of damage.

Without Vieira, they lost a barrier in the midfield. How did Lin Yi torture Flamini in this game?If Vieira was there, maybe they would not be so passive in the midfield battle.

Although many people know that it is really not easy to restrict that kid Lin Yi now.

Let's take a look at Ashley Cole's performance in this game. The main left-back of the England team who finally got his satisfactory salary completely stared at his former teammates in the game against his old club.

Neither Pires nor Ljungberg took advantage of Ashley Cole's left. Even Henry's two breakthroughs were destroyed and out of bounds because of this guy's follow-up defense.

Mourinho gave Ashley Cole absolute freedom and trust, and this guy also repaid this trust with his eye-catching performance. I don't know what kind of mood Wenger was at that time.

Although Arsenal also got Gallas, compared to a veteran who had already started to decline at the peak, Chelsea's investment in Ashley Cole this time was not in vain.

Maybe Wenger really regrets not adding one more rule in the transaction, that he is not allowed to play when playing against the old owner, otherwise he would not have to watch himself train in the first half when he couldn't open the situation. The main defender who came out participated in assists on the wing as usual.

Many media have mentioned this issue in their post-match reports. Many people may say that Chelsea's buying policy is nothing more than plundering, and they do not have the so-called background of those rich clubs.

This kind of team supported by buying people will not last long. They have no history, and no one is willing to stay in the team when the team is in a low ebb. If Abramovich leaves, the team will fall apart.

However, many media also made another interpretation. Chelsea's buying policy is indeed a bit overbearing, but you cannot deny that Abramovich's large investment is a good thing for the team.

He can quickly build an iron army for the club. For this kind of non-rich team, only when the record is good, will people pay attention to it. Using the bought players to compete for the championship is the safest strategy. Big, but it's the best option to gather popularity for the club in the short term.

And don't forget, some media have noticed the changes in Chelsea this season before the start of the season, although Kenyon is still continuing his bloody acquisition battle in the transfer market.

But in terms of the construction of the reserve team, the Chelsea team has already started, and their speed of building the youth army is not slower than those of the old strong teams. The Chelsea team really wants to build a dynasty.

The arrival of the godfather of the Portuguese Youth Army can be said to have come as a surprise to many people, including the Portuguese media, who had not received any news before this. In terms of ambition, these guys actually think very far.

If Kenyon's turbulent toss in the transfer market is to confuse everyone's attention, then the arrival of Aurelio Pereira is to rob those giants of their future resources.

Kenyon used money to plunder those famous stars and break up the golden combination of those competitors.

But Aurelio Pereira has done more than Kenyon in Chelsea. In addition to continuing to train Lin Yi, he also listed a large number of young players he has been paying attention to in recent years.

Many of them are far away in other continents, and many European clubs are also eyeing them.

However, the conditions and generous treatment offered by Chelsea are the most difficult for those young talents to resist. Even many potential stocks that the rich and powerful are looking at have been poached by Chelsea without any scruples.

Aurelio Pereira isn't going to conjure up a ton of talent for Mourinho right away, but he's picking those players at an age group that could give Chelsea a squad that lasts a decade.

"If I can persist in this position for ten years, then I will let Chelsea have a team like Manchester United's '[-]. As long as there is time, I think this is definitely not just a fantasy."

When Aurelio Pereira said this to Mourinho, the list in his hands had accumulated to more than 170 players of the right age, and there was a possibility that there would be a second Lin Yi.

"I dare not assure you that there are lunatics like Lin Yi, but the little guys who have walked out of my hands are not many cowards, and they must all be very good."

Mourinho doesn't need to examine the credibility of Aurelio Pereira's words, because from the day he decided to invite the other party, he has never doubted the other party's ability.

Chelsea want to create their own era, what they need is such a reserve force. Buyers will never be able to sharpen a dynasty, but such a reserve force can definitely create a piece of history.

When Arsenal and Manchester United have already felt the pressure, other opponents in the league may not pay attention to his echelon construction at the moment they see Chelsea, because when this team comes in front of them By the time, they had no energy to think about anything else.

As Chelsea's first league opponent this season, the newly promoted Wigan Athletic has publicly stated before the start of the game that even if they are playing at home, there is no guarantee that they can keep the goal.

The six players made their debut in the Premier League. The combined value of the whole team is not as high as that of Wright alone. This is the current situation of Wigan Athletic. Their most expensive player is worth just 300 million.

But this kind of worth may only be half of Lampard's salary. Faced with such a matchup with such a disparity in strength, even the gaming companies seem to have little interest, and the outcome is actually only the final score.

Including many Chelsea players also said before the game that they will use the victory to start the defending journey for the team, and they will use practical actions to tell those opponents that Chelsea will continue to occupy the Premier League championship.

Before the start of the game, nearly [-] Chelsea fans rushed to the away game. For them, this game is the starting point of the new season and an important moment for them to witness the start of their defending journey.

It is estimated that no one will think that there will be any accidents in such a game, and winning is a sure thing.

But it was such a duel. After 10 minutes of the game, the score on the big screen was only 26-[-]. Chelsea took [-] shots, and only Crespo succeeded at the last minute.

It was still stoppage time, and Lin Yi used his ankle as a price to give Crespo a chance for a lore. Otherwise, the defending champion's first game of the season would probably be a draw.

No wonder after the game, Mourinho walked up to the opponent's coach Jewell and whispered something. After the game, someone broke the news that the Portuguese said, "The result is not fair. I was lucky to win."

Not only did he say such a thing to the opponent's coach, but in an interview after the game, Mourinho also admitted that his team did not show the calmness it should have in this game, but was very impatient.

"Normally you lose a game and it rings alarm bells for you, and today we were alarmed as well, although we didn't lose points, this game has put us on the alert."

Although Chelsea has always had the advantage in the whole game, Mourinho has discovered that this damn defending champion not only makes the opponent full of energy, but also puts pressure on his players.

Including that kid Lin Yi, who was a little impatient when he organized an attack on the field, as if he would be sorry for the championship title on his head if he didn't eat his opponent in one bite. This kind of emotion was terrible.

However, it was because the Chelsea team had such a madman like Lin Yi that they were able to make a fatal blow in stoppage time, but the price was a bit high. Lin Yi's ankle had already been shoveled by the opponent.

According to the words of Faria and the team doctor, this kid must rest for more than ten days, otherwise, this damn ankle will cause no one knows what kind of trouble it will bring. Chelsea's defending journey does not seem to be as simple as they thought Well, the newly promoted has already taught them a lesson, and the road ahead will be even more bumpy.

Defending the title has never been an easy task, but the three-pointer Lin Yi gritted his teeth and won back with Chelsea's viciousness, "It was fine last season, and we'll be fine this season."

Lin Yi's words when facing the camera can be regarded as resounding, just like what he said, don't say I can't do it, otherwise, on the day you regret it, the little lunatic's counterattack is not only fierce.
