At St. James' Park, Chelsea are undergoing training to adapt to the venue. For tomorrow's game, the Chelsea team is very cautious. Newcastle has not been completely relegated, so tomorrow's game is bound to be a fierce battle.

At the end of the analysis of the report, Bryan pointed out that Xiang Nan's physical reserve has reached its limit. Second only to Joe Cole, who has just returned from injury.

Therefore, after a brief consideration, Grant made a decision that Southward and Joe Cole, as well as Ashley Cole, who has hardly been rotated, will not appear in the roster of the game, but in the starting lineup , Grant also made a substantial rotation.

And sitting on the bench for 90 minutes, Ballack was also replaced by Sidwell at the beginning of the second half.

Of course, there is also good news that in such a game that concerns the opponent's relegation, none of Chelsea's stars were injured.

Cardiff is the seaside city of Wilson, a beautiful city. Although Wales is also a member of the Commonwealth, its relationship with England is more like an aria narrative novel.

In the first century AD, after the Romans established the city in Wales, Wales was occupied by foreigners many times.

Edward I of England invaded Wales in the 13th century and wanted to occupy the land permanently.The nobles of Wales put forward four conditions to him, and only by meeting these four conditions can he become the king of Wales.The nobles said that our future king must first speak neither English nor French; second, he must be a Welsh nobleman; third, he must have no bad records during his growth; fourth, he must be born in Wales.The meaning of the nobles is very clear, that is, to establish a Welsh-speaking noble who was born in Wales.

The cunning Edward I agreed to these conditions and quietly brought his pregnant wife from England. When the child was born, he announced that his child fully met the four conditions.

Thus, the child became the first Prince of Wales in British history.

Uh... I have to say, can this be said to be a precedent for pregnant woman diplomacy?

Later, the eldest son of the British king was crowned Prince of Wales, such as the Duke of Windsor in 1911 and Prince Charles in Cardiff Castle in 1969 as Prince of Wales.

The Millennium Stadium is one of the landmark buildings in Cardiff. It is built next to the beautiful TAFF River. Every weekend here is a festival for local fans. The owner of this stadium is no stranger to the south. Chelsea is here In the semi-finals of the FA Cup, they defeated Cardiff City and were able to advance to the final venue——
The home of Cardiff City, the Millennium Stadium! !

Uh... After killing the master, finally, I was able to pick the most precious golden apples on the master's territory, er... I have to say, this is really an interesting story.

For the English, the most important thing about the FA Cup is the feelings of other countries' cup games. It is incomparable. This oldest cup game embodies the spiritual sustenance of English fans for a century. Almost every boy in England, When I was a child, I had two dreams, one of which was to represent my hometown team, lift the FA Cup champion high, and engrave my name on the cup of honor in my hometown forever! ! !

Another dream, as mentioned earlier, is to become a member of the England national team, play at Wembley Stadium, and become a national hero of England! !

This is the dream that almost every boy in England had when he was a child. The difference is that some boys, or a very small part of boys who worked hard, realized this dream. But, for the vast majority of boys Said, this is just one, when you are old, when you recall it, a lovely childhood memory, but you can cry for it...

On May 2008, 5, the second day after the Premier League ended, the whole Chelsea team landed at Cardiff International Airport from Heathrow Airport.

As soon as we got off the plane, a large number of Welsh fans appeared at the airport. They held up the portraits of Chelsea's stars and shouted the names of their favorite players frantically. Compared with Chelsea's opponents in the final, the West London team obviously, It's more popular here.

Of course, this kind of situation is only possible in Wales. In Scotland, the Scots don't need to boo to welcome the English team, which is not bad.

"Andre!!"

"Andre, I-LOVE-YOU!!!"

Many Welsh beauties are holding the name of Chelsea No. 9. As Mr. Wilson said, His Royal Highness the Prince of Stamford Bridge is now the favorite of many girls. The calmness and bloodthirsty on the court, and the politeness off the court, undoubtedly have a huge lethality.
