I work as a coach at Stamford Bridge

Chapter 115
In the 7th round of the Premier League, the first start was that Blackburn lost 0:2 at home to Manchester United, while Arsenal drew with Sunderland 1:1. It was the young midfielder Cesc Fabregas who scored for Arsenal.

On the second day, Chelsea played against Aston Villa, which is third in the league at home, and Petr Cech was still the main goalkeeper in the starting position;

On the back line, Azpilicueta and Robert Huth partnered as a central defender, and Ivan and Ashley Cole stood on both sides. Azpilicueta, a pair of young central defenders, is the biggest hole for Chelsea in this game .Terry was still recovering from his injuries. Alex and Carvalho had just finished playing in the Champions League and flew back from Romania. Yunqiao had to let them wait on the bench for the old men.

However, the cooperation between them should still be possible. Since this season, Yunqiao wants them to focus on domestic cup competitions, so they will also pay attention to their cooperation during training.In addition to Ivan and Ashley Cole, their experience is also rich, and I will mention it.

In the midfield, Arshavin, Ballack, Lampard, and Joe Cole are all replaced by Kaka.

Kalu replaced Drogba's partner Lewandowski on the forward line.

As for Villa, they have no European missions, so they are naturally waiting for work. Martin O'Neill has a 451 formation.

goalkeeper Friedel;

Backline Luke Young, C-Davis, Laurson and Shore;

The midfield hoarded 5 players, Barry, Abanglaho, Ashley Young, Petrov and Leocock;

At the top is center Carew.

In this game, Yunqiao has already prepared the premise to compete with Villa in terms of speed. Joe Cole and Arshavin's speed is no worse than Abang Lahor and Ashley Young. From this point of view, Chelsea still has an advantage.

It's just that the process was unexpected. Martin O'Neill actually used Ferguson's tactics to win Chelsea's game, fouling, pulling people from the midfield, contradicting, and tackling.

Seeing the players on the field fall to the ground again and again, Yunqiao's face turned black. How much hatred is there to want to use this trick, let alone your Aston Villa players are worse than Manchester United when they grasp the scale a lot.

10 minutes before the opening, Chelsea's team doctor has played twice, although the opposite Barry and Ashley Young also received two yellow cards, but both Arshavin and Ballack suffered minor injuries.

"Hey, if they do this again, I won't do it!" Yunqiao shouted to the fourth official. The fourth official also felt that it was hard, so he communicated with Martin O'Neill and asked him to pay attention to the player's movements, otherwise , the referee's cards will not be soft.

At this time, a situation appeared on the field.

In the 13th minute, seeing that the team had no way to take the lead, but got two yellow cards instead, Barry was a little impatient. When Azpilicueta passed back to the goalkeeper, Barry also passed Cech. When Cech completely hugged the ball, Barry didn't stop the speed, and directly hit Cech's body, knocking Cech to the ground.

"Damn," Yunqiao swears off the field, calling the team doctor hastily.

The players on the field stopped doing it. Without Terry, Ivan went over to Barry, pushed Barry to the ground with both hands, and his right fist wanted to swing down the cloud. Fortunately, Robert Huth hugged him in time. He, but Barry was not so lucky, surrounded by Chelsea players.Until other Villa players came up to rescue him.

The referee was also straightforward, sent off Barry with a red card, and then gave Ivan a yellow card. The team doctor signaled for a stretcher to play, and Yunqiao immediately asked Cudicini to warm up and prepare to play.

Seeing Cech coming to the game, not very sober, Yunqiao asked them to go to the medical center immediately and find Professor Richard.

"This is your tactic?" Yunqiao returned to the sideline and yelled at Martin O'Neill. It seems that you don't want to leave Stamford Bridge. I don't know if I give an order, the fans of the whole team will jump down?

Martin O'Neill may have lingering fears, and did not reply to Yunqiao. The fourth official came over to let Yunqiao stabilize his mood.

It's been 5 minutes since Villa let Chelsea's main goalkeeper go down, but they were also sent off. Now the game has only started 20 minutes, and you have to play one less player. Facing the leader of the league, you With 10 against 11, there is no other way except to defend and counterattack.

Martin O'Neill commanded the team's defense line to pull back a bit, and the offense was left to the fast horses on both sides to charge. The other players returned to their own half, trying to defend against Chelsea's offense.

Just after a red card was issued, Villa's players didn't dare to foul. Now Chelsea's midfielder can finally transition to the frontcourt quietly. In the 22nd minute, Arshavin forcibly broke through Ashley Young's defense, and was stopped by Petrov just before the big penalty area, and Arshavin was stopped with his hand. Chelsea won a free kick 3 meters outside the penalty area on the right. .

The ball was taken by Lampard. Lampard took a look at the goal and wanted to hit it vigorously, but the ball was not suppressed and it was higher than the crossbar.

Now Chelsea are the main attackers. As soon as Villa’s ball was passed to the midfield, Ballack and Joe Cole cut off the ball at Kalu’s feet. Stopping defender Luke Young, he headed back to Lewandowski who was following up. The latter volleyed the ball non-stop and hit the defender and bounced out.

Now Chelsea completely control the rhythm of the field, but their half is really too crowded, most of the shots are blocked, 20 minutes and 40 minutes, during this time, Chelsea took a total of 10 shots and were blocked by defenders Out of 6 shots, only two hits were within the goal range. Goalkeeper Friedel saved the ball, and the remaining two times were in the stands.

The cheers of the fans have never stopped from the beginning, especially after Petr Cech left the field, as long as Chelsea got the ball, the whole audience cheered, while Villa players got the ball, all kinds of insults came from all directions. However, there are only more than 1 Villa fans, and there is no disturbance at Stamford Bridge at all.

Chelsea's first goal was just a little short, but it was definitely not far from the goal just by pressing it like this.

In the 44th minute, before the end of the first half, Joe Cole rushed to the bottom line. Facing Xiao Lei who was following him, Joe Cole suddenly passed the ball under his gear. Give Joe Cole a hand.Let Chelsea get a free kick again. The ball is on the bottom line outside the penalty area. It is unlikely to shoot directly. It is better to pass the ball with words.

Joe Cole took the free kick himself, and Villa's penalty area was really crowded, all of Villa's players came back, and Chelsea almost passed half-time, except for the goalkeeper.

The ball was passed by Joe Cole to the back point, and Azpilicueta was ambushing the back point. I saw him facing the ball with his foot arch to the near corner. Even if Friedel jumped up completely, he would point the ball less than the ball.

Followed the dead corner into the net nest.Azpilicueta excitedly rushed to the corner flag and knelt with his legs to celebrate. This is his first goal in joining Chelsea. Can you be unhappy?
Yunqiao and Martin O'Neill are two emotions. Yunqiao was very happy to take the lead before halftime, but Martin O'Neill was depressed. This is a loss.

At the beginning of the second half, Martin O'Neill made a substitution. Leo Koke was replaced by Milner. What made Yunqiao speechless was that Milner stood on the back line after the field. It seems that Martin O'Neill made Milner Playing as a defender, and the formation changed to 531, it was completely defensive. Martin seemed to be satisfied with the 1:0 defeat and didn't want to win.

His thinking is also normal, one player less than others, and one goal behind, it is better to play defense, let the other team attack, see if he can find a chance to play defense, otherwise a one-goal loss is acceptable.

Facing such a shameless defensive team, Yunqiao had nothing to do with him for a while, and could only attack with set kicks. Next, Chelsea won free kicks and corner kicks many times, but they were always close to scoring. luck.

In the 70th minute, Yunqiao also made the first substitution. Jimmy Smith replaced Robert Huth, using a midfielder to replace the defensive player. Yunqiao still wanted to strengthen the offense, but then when Yunqiao collapsed arrive.

It is rare for Villa to rely on Abanglaho's speed to take the ball across the midfield. Facing Chelsea's defense, he first passed the ball and overtook Ivan. In the pinch between Ivan and Azpiqueta, He made a perfect arc and headed for the goal.

Cudicini was ready when he came over. Seeing the ball wanted to go to the left, Cudicini jumped up and hit the ball over the baseline, but when he fell, his left arm hit the goal post. Cudicini lay on the ground, clutching his arms and screaming in pain.

The referee waved for the team doctor to enter the field, Yunqiao turned around and asked Rogers beside him, "Do we have a third goalkeeper?"

Rogers gave him a blank look. Whoever has nothing to do with three goalkeepers, the team's roster generally only has two goalkeepers.

The team doctor waved at Yunqiao to signal for a substitution, and looked at the bench, "Carvalho, you go up and be the goalkeeper."

Carvalho looked confused and pointed at himself, "Am I the goalkeeper?"

"Yes, it's you, hurry up."

While helping him put on the equipment, Clark and the others told him the basic requirements of a goalkeeper. Well, how much can he remember at this time.

Then something happened that made the fans speechless. Carvalho replaced the goalkeeper Cudicini, and a defender became the goalkeeper.

PS: During the winter break, Chelsea's goalkeeper, defender, midfielder, and striker all need to buy people. I have searched for a long time for information, but it is not very easy to operate. Do you have any good suggestions? ? ?
