Chapter 590
Before the game, Mourinho told the team not to rely on Aiello's personal performance to solve the game as before, but to rely on team football to win the game. Otherwise, the league against Arsenal at home in four days will definitely be very difficult!
However, Mourinho did not expect that once a habit is formed, it is difficult to change it again.

Therefore, this is also the most fundamental reason why Chelsea did not score a goal half an hour into the game.

According to usual, this Tottenham defense line, which is full of awe of Ai Luo, has already been broken by him.

In order for the team's treasury to adapt to the way he played in his absence, Aiello had to play like Kalou and Malouda, constantly breaking the bottom line and making crosses.

Letting a player who is accustomed to take the ball and cut inside to hit the goal suddenly changes his style of play and makes a pass from the bottom. It also takes time to adapt. At the same time, the players who outflank the center must also slowly adapt.

So the score at the end of the first half is 0:0
In the second half, he changed sides and fought again. This time, Ai Luo switched from the left to the right, and continued to consciously increase the number of bottom crosses.

Although the Tottenham players don't know what kind of medicine is sold in Ai Luo's gourd, the first choice of the defense line is to beware of Ai Luo's inward cut route, because Ai Luo who cuts in is the most dangerous Ai Luo.

As for Ai Luo in the bottom pass, it is equivalent to cutting off his arm, his skill is greatly reduced, and his power naturally drops geometrically.

As the game time slowly passed, Aiello also regained the feeling of crossing from the side. In the 68th minute of the game, he suddenly changed the route of passing the ball when he went down the right.

Five minutes later, Wright Phillips replaced Joe Cole and played right winger, and Aiello returned to the familiar left.

Wright Phillips made a threat after only 1 minute. He used his impressive speed to break through the bottom line and forced a pass. The football crossed the front point and the center. Aiello, who followed up at high speed from the left, jumped high and smashed the football sent by Wright Phillips into the goal. Chelsea led Tottenham 2-0.

This goal also heralded that Chelsea basically won the game.

After Aiello scored the goal, Sky TV commentator Andy Gray and CCAV-5 Premier League commentator Zhan Jun said almost in unison: "Goal! Ai Luo (Ai) scored his 34th goal in the Premier League this season, so he also tied Cole and Shearer's single-season Premier League scoring record!"

After scoring the goal, Ai Luo rarely rushed to the coach's bench to give Mourinho a warm hug and said, "Thank you!"

The ensuing game didn't go as the commentators in the studio said, and Aiello didn't seize the opportunity to score another goal in the remaining time, thus breaking Cole and Shearer's Premier League single-season scoring record in one fell swoop.

In the subsequent games, he seemed to return to the ordinary Ai Luo before.

In the end, Chelsea defeated Tottenham 2-0 away in this game.

※※※

The media after the game were quite surprised by Aiello's performance in this game, and also made many speculations. For example, Aiello had a conflict with Mourinho, but this speculation was quickly dispelled, because Aiello hugged Mourinho after scoring the header.

So... out of shape?
But the problem is that you can still score goals in poor form?Can you pass the deadly ball accurately?

It is obviously unexplainable!Because Ai Luo has tied Cole and Shearer's Premier League scoring record in a single season! !
Could it be... is it to practice new tactics against Arsenal four days later?
Thinking of this, many reporters were surprised by their excellent thinking, because they thought of many possibilities, and only this can explain Ai Luo's low production performance when he challenged Tottenham in the away game.

The next day, apart from reporting that Aiello tied Cole and Shearer's scoring record, the British media also focused on Aiello's "sluggish state" during the Tottenham match.

Because the first actual combat drill tactics will always have an impact, right?so……

Even Arsenal head coach Arsene Wenger believed it.

But at this time, Ai Luo had already taken a direct flight from London to Hong Kong.

At this time, except for the Chelsea players, no one knew that Ai Luo had already boarded the flight home from London.

……

It was already early morning on the 22nd when Ai Luo arrived at Hong Kong International Airport. Because it was too early, he did not contact his friends in Hong Kong, Ah Heng and Lin San.

I took the flight from Hong Kong to Kunming at 57:[-] in the morning, and it was already [-]:[-] noon when I arrived at Haigeng Training Base, No. [-], Hubin Road, Dianchi National Tourist Resort.

This time, apart from the injured Hao Junmin and Gao Lin who did not return to China to prepare for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers, the other overseas players have come to the Haigeng training base for a meeting.

※※※

When Aiello started training with the team at the Haigeng National Training Base in Kunming on the 23rd, the reporters in London discovered that Aiello, the strongest attacking point of the Chelsea team, had returned to China to participate in the World Cup qualifiers.

You must know that there will be a league match with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge the next afternoon.

Arsenal's current Premier League ranking has reached No.4, and they are 15 points away from Chelsea at the top of the list. If they can't win Chelsea, then this season's league championship is basically gone, and they can only maintain their seats in the Champions League.

This is a very unacceptable result for the former Premier League traditional giants Arsenal. You must know that they were still the Premier League champions four years ago...unbeaten for the entire season!
Just thinking about this achievement is very exciting.

But...these are all past achievements. If you want to make a change, you must act. Wenger's reaction speed is very fast, and he decisively chooses to choose to attack in the next day's game!

Chelsea's home game against Arsenal will be played at four o'clock in the afternoon on the 26th, which is 11 o'clock in the evening BJ time.

Originally, this period of time is already falling asleep for the national football team in the training camp, but as the saying goes, there are policies above and countermeasures below, and the coaches of the national team will not squat at the door of the players one by one to listen to the voices of the players in the room.

Besides, there are not so many people and not so much energy.

Ai Luo watched the live broadcast through the TV provided by the base dormitory, but he shook his head again and again.

Although Chelsea made the most of their main force, they couldn't help Arsenal's fast conduction counterattack, especially Walcott's cooperation with Van Persie was quite tacit, and then something unexpected happened. Chelsea, who were playing at home, conceded the ball first...

In the words of the commentator Zhan Jun: "Hey... If you compare Chelsea to a well-equipped weapon, then Ai Luo is the one who uses the weapon. Only he can show the full strength of Chelsea!"

Had it not been for Drogba's savior at the last moment, Chelsea would have lost at home, and perhaps this was the first home defeat since Mourinho's coaching career!
Chelsea drew 1:1 with Arsenal at home, but Manchester United, who was chasing behind, noticed a chance to overtake the points before the end of the league!
After the kick-off, Manchester United beat Liverpool 3-0 at home with goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Rooney!
No one expected this result!

The result of the Double Red Meeting turned out to be one-sided...

After Manchester United won, the points gap with Chelsea has narrowed to 5 points. If this gap continues until the 36th round, it will be the most direct confrontation between the two teams!
And the most important thing is that there are two rounds of the Champions League semi-finals before and after this league game. As long as the performance is stable, Chelsea must be anxious!

According to Ferguson's thoughts, Mourinho is indeed a little anxious at this time, but... what is anxious is not the league championship, but the hope that Ai Luo will finish playing the national team game early, return to the club to report, and prepare for the next consecutive fierce battles.

3月30号跟米德尔斯堡的第32轮联赛,4月2号是欧冠1/4决赛首回合较量,4月5号又要前往曼彻斯特挑战曼城,两天后的7号在主场跟卡迪夫踢一场足总杯的半决赛,接着三天后的10号又要踢一场欧冠1/4决赛第二回合的比赛。

With such a dense schedule, without Ailuo in charge, it is really difficult to win these opponents, especially in the knockout stage.

Although Chelsea has an absolute advantage in terms of the strength of both sides, football games are often not analyzed according to strength, especially in the final stages of league and cup matches. No mistakes can be made, otherwise all previous efforts will be wasted!

※※※

In the first round of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, the top 20 teams in the Asian region, the Chinese team beat Iraq 5-0 in an away game, which shocked the whole of Asia, and they all shouted, "The sleeping lion has woken up!" ', and many foreign media gave the Chinese national team the first place in Asia to enter the World Cup in South Africa in advance.

Therefore, Qatar, who challenged the Chinese national team in an away game before the game, was not favored by anyone at all. Even Qatar's head coach Ali also said that their goal of challenging the Chinese national team this time was to draw.

The Chinese reporters who heard these words were very happy. You must know that two years ago, these words were spoken by the head coach of the Chinese national team when he went to the away game. Now, in the 30 years of Hedong and 30 years of Hexi, it is the turn of other national team coaches to speak.

In fact, the process and results of this game also made the Chinese sports media proud.

Although both Hao Junmin and Gao Lin missed the second round of the national team's World Cup qualifiers due to injuries, the presence of captain Ai Luo was enough to make Qatar feel extremely uncomfortable. The gap in strength and the inability to adapt to the climate in Kunming caused a lot of loss of combat effectiveness, so this game scored another big score.

After Ai Luo scored twice in the game, he scored twice again in this home game against Qatar, helping the Chinese national team win Qatar 4-0 at home, thus winning two consecutive victories in the World Cup qualifiers and topping the list with the advantage of goal difference!
