Midfielder.

Chapter 455

Chelsea's frenzied buying, such a move may have become commonplace in the eyes of many Premier League teams.

If these guys stopped buying people one day, that would be something worthy of attention. As for who they bought and how much they spent, few people would really care about these trivial things.

Even if you care about it, you can only be greedy. There is really no team in the Premier League that can spend as much money as Chelsea. Maybe when those oil tycoons with a lot of euros enter the Premier League, Chelsea will meet real opponents. At least so far, no one has been able to stop their takeover.

The scary thing about Chelsea now is not only the money they save, but also their results.

There are many players looking for a transfer. In addition to salary requirements, they value the team's ability more.

If it is said that when Chelsea bought people in the past, Kenyon could only take the checkbook and swipe at the big-name players, and he had to yell like a kiln girl, "There is money here, a lot of money!"

But if it is put into the present, Kenyon will start to become awesome as the team's performance is getting better and better. Every time he talks about the transfer issue, this guy will have the confidence to say, "We won Teams that have won the European Champions Cup, think carefully, here, not only the annual salary, but also the honor."

With the team's ferocious results as the backing, Kenyon now has the confidence to publicly seduce anyone.

It's just that after buying Campbell and Ribery, Chelsea's checkbook is temporarily closed.

Kenyon is now saying that Chelsea have bought enough people, which makes many teams put their hearts back in their stomachs.

They finally don't have to worry about their leading star being spotted by Chelsea, but it's only for half a season. Who knows if that lunatic Kenyon will stare at his players again next season.

At least this winter, Kenyon doesn’t want to open it up and continue to search for those stars. For Chelsea’s reinforcement task, his job as CEO has already been done, and the rest depends on how Mourinho handles it. It's not an easy task to defend the title on multiple lines.

In addition to the dense schedule, Chelsea also have to deal with those wolf-like opponents, especially the Champions League. There are many tough bones in the top sixteen, and there are several teams that are their old enemies.

If he wants to complete the first defense of the Champions League after the restructuring, it seems that Mourinho has to go through a few hurdles.

But that is the task of the head coach. Now Kenyon can put his hands behind his back and concentrate on calculating the income of this season. However, Chelsea have calculated expenses in the past three years, but they have not had any income.

However, this situation may change in two years. The Chelsea youth team is also flourishing now, and under the guidance of the Portuguese old man, it has begun to burst out with amazing energy.

In the league, Chelsea have stepped on Manchester United and Arsenal. In the confrontation of the youth army, Chelsea also let the opponents do nothing. If this continues, the cost recovery may be just around the corner.

"These two Portuguese are capable enough." Kenyon also sighed in his heart. Although the way of dismissing Ranieri was scolded by others, it now seems that that move was really wise.

If that good old man hadn't been vacated, perhaps Chelsea would not have been as brilliant as it is today.

How many people still remember what Ranieri's coaching at Chelsea brought to the team?But Mourinho's five crowns have been written into Chelsea's history, and latecomers cannot be erased at all.

Sometimes, taking risks is worth it, at least looking back now, Chelsea still made money.

However, compared with Chelsea's subdued transfer battle, the integration speed of the new players is even more astonishing.

The lively drama that the media was looking forward to watching did not take place as scheduled. Although the two thorns were under Mourinho's men, although they were not well-behaved, they both behaved very professionally and showed no signs of taking the initiative to cause trouble.

Moreover, Cassano and Anelka can now obey the arrangement of the head coach and seriously prepare for the game.

Even though they knew that they couldn't start every game, these two thorns were very quiet.

This cannot be said to be that Mourinho's iron fist is ruthless enough, but that this guy can know people and use them well. A head coach who knows what players really need can better control these talents on the green field.

Mourinho is obviously this kind of person. He has had unsuccessful professional player experience, worked as a translator, and worked as an assistant coach. This can be regarded as climbing up step by step. He knows everything about the team.
Want to see his jokes?It's better not to make such extravagant hopes, unless his own brain is short-circuited.

Otherwise, it's best not to pray that such a lunatic will voluntarily give up the chance to win.

How much Chelsea’s digging campaign can bring to their overall strength? This question may take a while to see. Now it just makes their multi-line battle more secure, like Lampard and the others There is enough rest time, but the people who are dug are very depressed.

Arsenal, who were already ranked third in the standings, were not only successfully poached by Chelsea this time. Campbell was also successfully poached by Chelsea. In the subsequent round of the league, they were also tied by a weaker team at Highbury.

Blackburn, a middle-lower team that has been spinning around the relegation circle this season, was able to take a point from Highbury safely, and they also led by more than 60 minutes in this game.

If Fabregas hadn't sent Henry a very beautiful through ball from the back row at the last moment, it is estimated that Wenger would have been very depressed watching Blackburn take three points from here.

But this kind of redemption with a life hanging by a thread did not get cheers from the fans. More people questioned after the game, "Why did Arsenal become like this? Has that undefeated team disappeared?"

This was a question asked by the local media in London to Wenger after the game, but the professor chose to remain silent in the face of such a question. Maybe even this wise old man couldn't understand what happened to the team.

But many discerning people can see that Arsenal, which can only get [-] wins, [-] draws and [-] losses in [-] rounds, is no longer the group of invincible gunmen. They are falling into a terrible downturn.

Not only is the invincible vigor of two seasons ago gone, but more is a little hesitant to move forward.

Arsenal players often have more hesitation and less confidence in the game. For Highbury fans, this is an abnormal Arsenal team. They don't have the confidence to win.

Moreover, this damn draw allowed Everton and Tottenham, who had been chasing behind Arsenal, to complete the overtake in points. After one game, the team led by Wenger can only rank fifth in the league. An awkward position for Arsenal fans, who fell out of the top four for the first time.

And they are already 24 points away from Chelsea's top position. If someone can predict this difference at the beginning of the season, it is estimated that that person must have traveled back directly in a time machine.

With a gap of 24 points, Arsenal may not have experienced such a humiliating retreat in the past ten years. Chelsea is now a deadly rival in the same city, but they are clearly riding on their heads.

Even those fans who support Chelsea are ridiculing Arsenal supporters, "Your unbeaten record will be rewritten by us, you are undefeated, we want to win all! You can only watch enviously!"

"We are five-time champions, your undefeated record, what is that! You will only lose now!"

You must know that in London, Arsenal has always been the boss in the past ten years, but now the feng shui has changed, and Chelsea has gradually gained the upper hand in the two-season duel.

And Tottenham also began to take advantage of Arsenal's downturn, and now they can overwhelm Wenger's team. Although this is not the final ranking at the end of the season, it is simply a symbol of shame for Arsenal. The long-established arsenal was almost completely robbed this time.

As a wise manager, Wenger has indeed built a solid foundation for Arsenal.

Without this old French man, maybe Arsenal would not be so brilliant, but it was also Wenger's certain decisions that made this undefeated arsenal gradually heading for a terrible downturn.

"It's time to rebound", "It's time to get out of the trough", all Gunners fans are looking forward to this turning point, but is it easy to get out of the nightmare now?Many commentators have analyzed that it is not easy for Arsenal to get rid of the current downturn in the current situation.

Arsenal's game against Blackburn showed many problems. First of all, it was the midfielder. After Vieira left, Cesc Fabregas did rise very quickly. His football IQ and foot skills are good.

But it is not an easy task to stand up for Arsenal in his first season as the main force. More often, Wenger still needs to rely on veterans like Gilberto to guard the middle.

Fabregas' offense may be better than Vieira's, but his defense is obviously much worse.

At least he doesn't have Vieira's vicious viciousness now, and he often suffers from confrontations.

If there are still people available in the midfield, then Campbell's sudden transfer has left a gap in the central defender.

Although Wenger has always insisted that the Senderos he cultivated is fully qualified for this position.

But it turns out that the Swiss central defender has only a good body, but lacks the wisdom on the football field.

Rough technique, often making mistakes while busy, although this is a necessary process in the growth of a central defender, but what the current Arsenal team needs is stability, not a gate that often makes mistakes.

The goal that Blackburn scored was because Senderos was too hesitant to play the ball in the backcourt, and was successfully counter-robbed by the opponent's forward, and his next move turned out to be a stupid back shovel.

A penalty plus a red card is a punishment that is not negotiable. Lehmann's roar and Wenger's curses on the sidelines can't change the fact that Arsenal will always be behind because of this penalty.

If Campbell is in this position, maybe there will be no such problems. At least the experienced guy will not be hot-headed and kick the opponent's back. It is really a stupid choice.

I wonder if at this moment, Wenger will regret letting go of the core of the defense so early.

Now that Arsenal are running back and forth in the defense with only one Toure, I really don't know how long they can last.

Besides, that guy is about to ask for leave to go back to participate in the African Cup. The next month will be the most difficult time for Arsenal. Who can rely on to tide over the difficulties?Do you still count on Xigan?
Forget it, maybe that French defender will be sent away by Wenger after the end of this season. Now Arsenal have fully realized what it means to be in dire straits. Compared with Liverpool, they are not easy.

I really don't know how Wenger will survive the tough battles in the next month, Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool, maybe this is the devil's schedule for Arsenal, if they lose, it will be a crushing defeat.

Perhaps the most sensible way for Arsenal now is to keep the top four positions in the league as much as possible, and then put all their energy into the Champions League. At least they can advance in the Champions League and bring some benefits.

Compared with Arsenal's embarrassment, Mourinho's life is very comfortable now. Arsenal are tied, and Manchester United didn't get much benefit. They won [-]-[-] at Old Trafford.

If it weren't for Ronaldo's quick and successful cut from the side before the end of the first half, allowing Lu Xiaopang to respond in the middle, I really don't know if they would have a very embarrassing draw.

However, Manchester United is not as unlucky as Arsenal. Although they did not buy too many people during the winter transfer period, the few transactions made Manchester United's defense much more stable, especially compared with the previous stage. With La's joining, the Red Devil's right side also has an extra security guarantee.

This Frenchman has been coveted by Mourinho for a long time, but Kenyon has not competed with his old club this time. The promise of the main position and the sincerity of Ferguson finally moved the Frenchman.

This is also a rare case of Kenyon's check being invalidated during the winter transfer period. For this reason, Mourinho still feels a little regretful. If the Frenchman can come to Chelsea, he can make the defense more stable.

Compared with Evra's joining, Ferguson may be most proud of Vidic's deal. The price of 700 million pounds can buy such a value-for-money central defender. This business is too worthwhile.

The Serbian has been nearly perfect in the three games he has partnered with Ferdinand.

Even Ferguson said proudly, "Compared with those big-name guys, Vidic performed better. He will be an important member of Manchester United's defense line. His performance is world-class."

It is estimated that the old man is so elated because he has made two good deals, especially seeing that his old enemy Wenger is now more than ten points behind him in the standings, so he feels really happy.

"Two good deals." This is Mourinho's evaluation. Although it is a pity to miss such two guys, he also knows that it is impossible to own all good players. In fact, there is a strong There is no harm in the opponent, at least it can make people alert.

However, whether their opponents are now stronger or weaker, they can't change the fact that Chelsea is leading. They still haven't given those competitors a chance to narrow the points gap in this round of competition.

Even if Lin Yi, Gerrard and Drogba did not play, with the performance of Cassano, Lampard and Anelka, they also won the away game with a score of [-]-[-]. Mulian.

But Lampard and Joe Cole are the protagonists of this game, facing the old owner who has been in poor form recently.

These two guys finished the game with the boos of tens of thousands of people, and they both scored goals.

Although the booing has never stopped, Chelsea's tide of offense also drowned out the opponent's roar.

With a goal scored in less than 20 seconds, they used their methodical offensive rhythm to complete the reversal by scoring three consecutive goals within 15 minutes of the second half.

In fact, if it weren't for bad luck in the first half, maybe the score would have been equalized or even overtaken.

Those West Ham United supporters at Upton Park, although they have been booing Chelsea.

But the result they waited for was only the team's four-game losing streak, which was slipping to the brink of relegation step by step.

And those two guys who transferred from West Ham United became an important contributor to defeating them.

But the roars and boos cannot hide the fact that West Ham club is weakening day by day. It used to produce guys like Lampard here, but in the next few years, they can only struggle to avoid relegation.

The decline in economic conditions and overall strength made their supporters only boo to fight against the enemy.

This is the cruel side of professional football, no matter how brilliant you were, you will eventually fall.

This is the case with West Ham United, and Arsenal are not having a good time now. Maybe Chelsea will go on this road in the future, but this may be a kind of history, which has precipitated the rise and fall of many teams.

Mourinho will not care about the flaws in the victory. For him, training the lineup is the most important thing. As for how to win or how much to win, it is not a problem for Chelsea at all.

There are only a few teams that can really cause trouble for Chelsea in the game. For the rest of these opponents, Mourinho can tell everyone arrogantly that if he wants to lose, he will definitely not lose.

Compared with winning, Mourinho now needs to race against time, and the lineup must be polished quickly. Before meeting Barcelona in February, he needs everyone to integrate into the team's tactics.

Especially for those new players, Chelsea's tactical changes also originated from them, catching the opponent by surprise, this is a feast prepared by Mourinho for the old opponents, it is best to choke them to death.

As for who is the first person to suffer, it is not important. What is important is, who is buried in this trap that is being dug deep, Arsenal?Or Barcelona?The answer is not predictable.

But there is only one thing that is certain. The pit dug by Mourinho will never be empty. Someone will definitely jump into it without hesitation and become a stepping stone for Chelsea's journey to defend the title. . .
