Frost Shooter of Greenery

Chapter 741

After defeating Arsenal in an away game, Hiddink, who was in the center of public opinion, finally got a chance to breathe, but this breath will not give Hiddink a long breath, because December is the most devilish month in the Premier League, especially The days before Christmas.

Next is three games in five days. The opponents are Swansea City, Liverpool and Southampton. Liverpool is currently ranked second in the league, and it is also a difficult bone.

Chelsea boss Abramovich also found Hiddink to chat on Christmas Eve. Now this situation must not happen to the team that has just won the Champions League and Premier League double crown. Although Qi Ce's injury is a big reason for this situation, But it shouldn't be.

As a boss who knows more about football, Abramovich also knows that Chelsea without Zize will definitely not have the height of last season, but obviously, the current level is definitely not real.

The impact of Zize's injury on Chelsea's tactics seems to be not small, but if Chelsea does not have a lineup of Zize, no one in the mid-range team will believe it.

Looking at the lineup, goalkeeper Petr Cech is still one of the best goalkeepers in the world, Terry is still the best central defender in the Premier League, Azpilicueta is gradually becoming the main force at the left back position, Ivanovic is in the The right-back position has found the best form. Meyer has recently started the German national team. Ramirez has the most running distance in the midfielder in the Premier League. Hazard has the highest dribbling success rate in the Premier League. Older and more demonic, Drogba can still stand up at critical moments...

This lineup may not be the strongest, but where is the configuration of the Premier League mid-range teams?
Some media also pointed out that this is the short-term sequelae of losing Qi Ce. Qi Ce raised Chelsea to a height that did not belong to them in a short period of time. There is a sharp decline.

Although the middle reaches of the league are indeed exaggerated, this is also an inevitable situation caused by the instability of the army after losing the backbone. Whether it can be stabilized before Qi Ce returns depends on the skill of the old coach Hiddink and whether the players can survive this difficulty. Under the situation, he has played his due level.

The victory over Arsenal is a good start. The fans also hope that Chelsea can return to at least the Champions League as soon as possible, otherwise they will not even be able to play in the Champions League next season. This will have too much impact on Chelsea. Will Zize continue to stay? Going down is also a problem.

Around Christmas, Abramovich issued a death order to the team, which must remain in the Champions League area at the end of this season. For Abramovich, defending the Champions League is the best. As long as the Champions League can defend the title, the league will not be relegated.

Champions League defending...

How difficult!

Barcelona, ​​the most powerful cosmic team in recent seasons, is terrifyingly dominant, and failed to complete the feat of defending the Champions League. Real Madrid, the best club in the [-]th century, has not won the highest honor in the Champions League for ten years. The strongest Bayern in the past two years Munich were also close, but their dream was crushed by Chelsea.

In addition, Borussia Dortmund, which once owned Zize, is also one of the favorites. It is a pity that they were eliminated by Barcelona in the semi-finals in the second year of the championship.

Now Chelsea?
Qi Ce has been away for most of the season, and the status of his comeback is also unknown. This year, the major giants including Real Madrid and Barcelona are intensively strengthening their teams. These giants are all eyeing the Big Ears Cup.

But it is still too early to talk about these, and the Champions League knockout rounds will not start until February.

After defeating Arsenal, in the Battle of Boxing Day, Chelsea ushered in Swansea City at home. In this game, Chelsea finally won a big victory, defeating the opponent 4:1 at home. It seems that the game that beat Arsenal before Christmas is indeed Give Chelsea a shot in the arm. Hazard sent three assists in this game to shine in the audience. Schurrle, Willian and Lampard scored respectively, and the other goal was a direct free kick from David Luiz.

Subsequently, Chelsea faced another tough battle against Liverpool and won again. They beat their opponents 2:1 at home. Torres and Ramires scored goals. The winning streak, Arsenal and Liverpool, who are first and second in the standings, finally showed the style of last season's Champions League and Premier League double crown.

This should be the true level of Chelsea. It is actually quite surprising that Arsenal and Liverpool have achieved good results this season. Chelsea has no reason to be much weaker than them.

The first battle at the end of the year was also the No. 19 round of the Premier League. Chelsea scored 32 points, but the ranking only rose by two places. Most of the top teams have not lost the chain. Manchester United is also recovering. Arsenal, but now they have scored 42 points and have been overtaken by Manchester City. Manchester City currently ranks second with 41 points, Liverpool has fallen to fourth, and their city rival Everton is catching up.

Ranked fifth is Manchester United. Manchester United scored 36 points and is currently ranked fifth. Tottenham Hotspur ranked sixth with 35 points, followed by Newcastle ranked seventh with 33 points. Chelsea Currently ranked eighth with 32 points.

There will be a level difference in the future. The ninth Southampton currently has 27 points, which is still six points away from Chelsea.

Eighth in the Premier League half, this result may have been fired by Abramovich in the past, but this season is justifiable. Hiddink is basically sure to leave next season, so Abramovich has not done anything for the time being.

January, another new test.

The FA Cup is coming.

Chelsea have experienced two draws in the past two days. They have drawn Derby County in the English Championship in the FA Cup. It is not bad, but it is not good. The League One and League Two teams that are two levels lower are drawn, so that the youth team can be sent to train.

On the other hand, it is the eye-catching Champions League knockout draw.

This season's Champions League round of [-] has been released. Although Manchester United in Group A struggled a bit in the league, the Champions League ensured the group's first qualifying early. Together with them, Leverkusen of the Bundesliga qualified.

There were no surprises in Group B. The two giants from Spain and Italy, Real Madrid and Juventus, qualified without any suspense. In Group C, Paris won all six games and directly qualified. Schalke 04 and Paris joined hands to qualify. Group D It is Bayern Munich and Manchester City, no doubt.

Chelsea in Group E is grouped well, without too strong opponents, Chelsea ensured the first place in the group early, Benfica was a little surprised and did not qualify, and Olympiacos from Greece won the qualifying place in the last round.

Group F, Zize's old club Borussia Dortmund and Arsenal, who have performed amazingly this season, qualify together. Group G is Atletico Madrid and Zenit St. Petersburg. The last group is naturally Barcelona occupying the top spot, and Ajak who has a deep relationship with Barcelona For the first time in eight years, the Eredivisie giant finally broke out of the Champions League group stage and appeared in the Champions League round of [-] knockout rounds.

The results of the final draw for the 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League Round of [-] knockout rounds are as follows:
Manchester United VS Juventus, the Red Devils who are undergoing reconstruction face Juventus, which has basically completed the reconstruction, who will die is worth looking forward to.

Real Madrid VS Zenit St. Petersburg, Real Madrid likes to mention a spree.

Paris Saint-Germain VS Manchester City, the match between the two big local teams, UEFA has adjusted this again, who will win this time?Bayern Munich VS Ajax, he has long said that Ajax is very strong, you still laugh at him.

Chelsea VS Schalke 04, for Chelsea, this signing is neither good nor bad.

Dortmund VS Olympiacos, Zize's old club also likes to offer a big gift bag, what Klopp has to do is to prevent him from becoming a dynamite bag.

Barcelona VS Leverkusen, this Messi is relatively familiar. Last time in the Champions League round of [-], Messi scored five in a game. It is really not that enemies do not get together.

Chelsea in January was finally on the right track. At the beginning of 2014, Chelsea beat Southampton with three goals in an away game. Then in the FA Cup, Chelsea eliminated Derby County 2-0 to enter the next round, and then beat back with two goals in the away game. Hull City.

Unknowingly, Chelsea went from a three-round winless to a five-game winning streak, but the sixth game was terminated by Manchester United. The protagonist of this game was Robin van Persie. Manchester United's 2:2 draw with Chelsea, after which Chelsea announced an unexpected and reasonable news.

Spanish attacker Juan Mata officially transferred to Manchester United, the transfer fee was 700 million pounds, breaking the signing record in the history of Manchester United. Mata also scored a goal in the game against Manchester United, which became The last goal of his Chelsea career.

Knowing the news, Zize, who was about to leave for London from Sardinia, sent a message to Mata. He still liked the Spaniard very much. After the team, Mata's already embarrassing position became even more embarrassing, and he finally chose to leave.

　That's all for today
