I work as a coach at Stamford Bridge

Chapter 105 Champions League Group Stage

With Didier Drogba's brace, Chelsea beat Manchester City 5:1 away, leaving Manchester City's coach Mark Hughes in a bad mood, maybe when he will dismiss get out of class.

However, the focus of this round of the Premier League is not the game between Chelsea and Manchester City, but another battlefield, the contest between Liverpool and the Red Devils Manchester United at Anfield.This England national derby is the focus of this round of competition.

There is a record that makes Benitez very unwilling, that is, he has been in Anfield for so long, and he has never defeated Ferguson in the league. He has only won him twice in the cup, but the cup naturally cannot match the league. compared to.If you fail to defeat your opponent, how can you regain the crown of the Premier League hegemony from your opponent.

In the Premier League era, the most important thing for Liverpool is to defeat the Red Devils Manchester United led by Ferguson and win their first Premier League title in Premier League history.

If Yunqiao remembers correctly, in 2019 when he traveled here, Liverpool almost had a chance to win the Premier League title under the leadership of Uncle Zha.

But a Liverpool game is not optimistic, because their captain Gerrard and striker Torres did not enter the starting lineup, they have just recovered from their injuries, and Benitez arranged for them to sit on the bench.Of course, on Manchester United's side, Ronaldo didn't even make the squad due to injury.

This national derby opened only 3 minutes, Carlos Tevez went down for Manchester United first, but his goal lead did not allow Manchester United to support until the end of the first half.At 27 minutes, Liverpool equalized. Alonso fired a shot from outside the penalty area, hit Evra, and flew towards the middle. This time Van der Sar was not prepared enough and forced the ball. Bounced on Brown.

There is no way to hit two Manchester United players consecutively for an own goal. This goal is destined to be scored.

After that, the two sides also played relatively restrained, probably because they were both concerned about the two-day Champions League match, and the intensity of this double-red match was not high.Until the 77th minute, with Babel's strong shot, Liverpool finally defeated Manchester United with a score of 2:1. This is the first time that Benitez has defeated Ferguson in the league in so many seasons since he came to the Premier League.

The fans may not be too happy. This game is not as exciting as the match between Chelsea and Manchester City. There were only 3 yellow cards in the game. Only Vidic was the only one who got two yellow cards and one red. Red card, this is also a rare peaceful double red game.

After the fourth round of the entire Premier League, Arsenal also defeated Blackburn 4-0 in the away game. Van Persie opened the scoring for Arsenal, and then Adebayor's performance time.In 90 minutes, Adebayor scored 3 goals with his head and feet to help Arsenal win this game.

Chelsea ranked first in the Premier League with a record of 4 victories. In the first 4 games, Chelsea scored 15 goals and conceded [-] goal. This kind of offensive efficiency and defensive ability made the whole of Europe eye-catching.Everyone thought that Chelsea would completely decline this season after going so far. Unexpectedly, Chelsea is now the team with the strongest offensive firepower in Europe and the team with the best defense.

Yunqiao led Chelsea to amazement again.

Ranked second is Benitez's Liverpool, with 3 wins and 1 tie with 10 points. It is also one of the teams that has remained unbeaten in the first four games since the start of the Premier League.

Arsenal is 3 wins and 1 loss, with 9 points, ranking third.And what about Manchester United?They played one less game, and now they have 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss, and they only have 4 points, ranking third from the bottom.

The season has just started, and no one would believe that Manchester United will not be able to enter the top four in the end. They have such confidence and ability.

Back in London, Yunqiao gave the team half a day off. There was no other way. On September 9, the Champions League group stage was coming.For Yunqiao, he is very used to this kind of schedule. England's cruelest schedule is yet to come. Crazy December is not just a matter of talking.

Chelsea's first opponent in the Champions League is Bordeaux from the Ligue [-]. After reading the full list of Bordeaux teams, no one knows them.Of course, Yunqiao will not look down on Bordeaux, but the starting list he announced before the game made Bordeaux very dissatisfied.

The starting goalkeeper is Cudicini, the back line has become a central defender composed of Terry and Azpilicueta, and the fullbacks are Robert Huth and Paulo Ferreira;
Midfielders Kaka, Ballack and Mikel;

The front trident is Kalu, Lewandowski and the young teenager Royce.

Let's not talk about other positions, just the forward position. Kalou has been Drogba's substitute since last season. It's okay, but what the hell is Royce?A young player who has never played in the first team, his first professional league game was arranged by Yunqiao in such a big scene as the Champions League.

Don't you look down on Bordeaux?
What's the end?Bordeaux at Stamford Bridge thought they could receive a victory, and they opened up with Chelsea and played offensive football.After the end, Chelsea sent Bordeaux back to France with a score of 4:0.

Kaka scored twice to tell everyone that the World Footballer is back, and Lewandowski and Mikel each scored a goal.And the most amazing thing is the young teenager Royce. Although he didn't score a goal, he also sent two assists. Fans who watched this game fell in love with this little player who dribbled the ball on the wing. .

In other words, Chelsea does have few such players.Arshavin and Joe Cole are more about supporting and passing the ball on the wing. Royce, when he gets the ball, runs regardless of the ball. The most important thing is that his speed is still so fast. The game was also knocked down by opponents many times, but his indomitable spirit really made fans like him.

After the game, Yunqiao also praised Royce in front of the reporters, and nicknamed him Little Rocket.

The media naturally praised Yunqiao's ability to see people again. From a small player that no one wanted, to him, he can start the UEFA Champions League. The performance is not bad. After a few years, this young player will also It may not be worse than the current Joe Cole.

In another match in the same group, Roma faced Cluj at home. This team from Romania did not give Roma face at all, 2:1. Even the Roman prince Totti was injured and could not stop the team. The result of defeat.

What about the team that agreed to send points?The Roman wept fainted in the toilet.

There were no such tragedies in the other groups. Mourinho's Inter Milan defeated the Greek team Pasinaikos 2-0. Ibrahimovic contributed two assists, and Mancini and Adriano scored one each. ball.Barcelona beat Sporting Lisbon 3:1 at home, Guardiola's team showed its teeth.Liverpool went to France, defeated Marseille 2:1, and retreated from France.

Arsenal and Manchester United drew with Dynamo Kiev and Villarreal respectively.In the first round of the Champions League group stage, the Premier League teams won two and drew two, and their performance was not bad.
