I work as a coach at Stamford Bridge

Chapter 117

Seeing the players returning to the club from the national team, Yunqiao was speechless. No wonder so many rich coaches always complain about the national team. Really, the players were already tired from playing in the club, and they had to go back to the national team If you kick, you will get hurt if you are not careful.

I didn't dare to arrange too much training with the ball. I mostly did some training to restore physical fitness and explain tactics. Chelsea and the eighth round of the Premier League are scheduled to go to the Riverside Stadium to face Middlesbrough on October 10.

Gareth Southgate, born in 1970, is only 38 years old this year. He has been the head coach for several years. Without Yunqiao, he would be the youngest head coach in the Premier League.

Yunqiao knew this person not because he was the head coach in Middles, but because he later became the head coach of the England national team and led a group of youth storms to rise to the World Cup.

But now Southgate is just the head coach of Middlesbrough.

In terms of the state of the two teams, Middlesbrough must be better. They have no European missions, and they have not been called up to a few main players on the international match day.For a small team, players naturally have fewer tasks.

Chelsea at Yunqiao is different, not to mention that the main players have been called back to the national team, besides, the team's wounded are still lying down, Cudicini is almost recovered, and Michael Woods has also started training with the team It's just that Terry and Cech are still recovering from their injuries.In this game, Ivan can't play again, so Yunqiao doesn't have many lineups for this game.

As for the goalkeeper, Hilario played for the first time this season;
Paulo Ferreira and Azpilicueta are separated on the back line, and the central defender combination is Carvalho and Robert Huth;

In the midfield, Arshavin and Joe Cole pull the sides, and Lampard and Ballack in the middle;
Drogba and Lewandowski are on the forward line.

With the current configuration of Middlesbrough to beat Chelsea, even Southgate dare not think about it. It depends on whether a tie can be made. Taking advantage of the fact that everyone in Chelsea has just returned from the national team and their physical fitness has not fully recovered.

However, he still thought too much. He was overwhelmed by Chelsea at the beginning of the game and took the lead in the 14th minute. Azpilicueta made a cross from the wing. The opponent's defender White failed to clear the siege. Ballack's shot was blocked by the goalkeeper. Come out, but the ball still fell in the penalty area, Drogba volleyed the ball from 8 yards, and the football went into the goal again.

In the 20th minute, Arshavin made a direct pass, and Lewandowski's 16-yard shot from the right side of the penalty area was blocked by the goalkeeper.Chelsea almost expanded the score at 24 minutes. Joe Cole made a cross from the right. Lampard shot from 6 yards in the penalty area. Unfortunately, the shot was more direct and was directly confiscated by the goalkeeper.In the 31st minute, Lampard made a direct pass, and Arshavin's long-range shot from outside the penalty area went wide. Next, Lewandowski, Ballack, and Carvalho's outside shots were all physically blocked by the opponent's defender.

At the end of the first half, Middlesbrough didn't even get a chance to shoot, and they were beaten by Chelsea throughout the whole process. If it weren't for better luck, they don't know how many goals they were poured into.

In the second half, Middlesbrough started to attack. In the 47th minute, Adam Johnson passed the ball, and Downing shot from 25 yards over the crossbar, followed by Chelsea's siege.

In the 49th minute, defender Glauders took the lead, and Lewandowski failed to seize the opportunity to break into the penalty area solo and was blocked by the goalkeeper.The only Middlesbrough player who played normally today was their goalkeeper Turnbull, who blocked Chelsea's must-have goals many times.

From 50 minutes to 53 minutes, Chelsea scored three consecutive goals in just 3 minutes. Joe Cole passed the ball from the middle, Drogba made a header pass in the penalty area, and the unmarked Lampard relayed the header and rushed into the net.Then, Paul Ferreira made a long pass from the backcourt, and Lewandowski went straight into the penalty area after receiving the ball, blocking the defender's return pass, Drogba followed up with a strong shot, the football hit the net, and Chelsea led 3:0.

Southgate looked at the players on the field with his hands open, and immediately substituted two people. The defender Glauders was replaced by John Johnson, and the midfielder Schockey was also replaced by Digard. One substitution, it can be seen that Southgate really can't accept their defense.

In the 60th minute, Drogba made a pass from the right edge of the penalty area, and Azpilicueta shot wide from the top of the penalty area. Immediately, Lewandowski made a cross, and Lampard's low shot from outside the penalty area was also confiscated by Turnbull.

In the 64th minute, Arshavin dribbled the ball down to make a pass, and only one defensive player followed Ballack to overwhelm the opponent. He headed the ball into the bottom corner, 4:0. At this time, the Middlesbrough players had already surrendered.

Yunqiao replaced Lewandowski with Royce, and in 75 minutes, Jimmy Smith replaced Ballack again.In the 80th minute, Chelsea scored another goal, Carvalho passed the ball, Drogba's strong shot from the edge of the penalty area was blocked by Turnbull and then hit the post and bounced back to the penalty area. Royce followed up and made an empty goal, 5: 0.
In the last 10 minutes, Yunqiao replaced veteran Carvalho with young player Kanter, allowing him to experience the atmosphere of the game.

"I am very dissatisfied with this game. The team did not play aggressively. I want to say sorry to the fans at home. This game is not a manifestation of our ability." Southgate said after the game The team's performance was very dissatisfied, and they immediately sprayed.

After the 8th round of the Premier League, the strong teams all won. Manchester United also defeated West Bromwich Albion 4-0 at home. Rooney, Ronaldo, Berbatov and Nani scored a goal for Manchester United .Arsenal also beat Everton 3:1 at home, while Liverpool beat Wigan Athletic 3:2 at home.

And to say that the team with the worst start in the Premier League is naturally Tottenham, which spent more than 8000 million euros in the summer. It was agreed to compete for the top four, and now it is hard to find a win.In the last three rounds, they lost 2:0 to Portsmouth, 1:0 to Hull City, and 2:1 to Stoke City.It is a foregone conclusion that Ramos will leave get out of get out of class. It depends on when Tottenham will finalize the new coach.Before the season, Ramos had the absolute trust of the team's management and spent so much money on him. After eight rounds of the league, the team is hard to find a win and ranks at the bottom of the Premier League. How can this make the team's management The level is satisfied, and I can't explain it to the fans.There is no other way except for the head coach to dismiss get out of class.

Chelsea's next round will be against Liverpool at home. Liverpool have been unbeaten at the beginning of the season, but their points are still not as high as Chelsea, which lost a game. Although they are unbeaten, they have many draws, which leads to their low points.Moreover, the main forward Torres was injured again in the national team, and his offensive firepower has not been high, let alone compared with Chelsea.Only eight rounds into the league, Chelsea has scored more than 20 goals, the most powerful team in Europe.

Fortunately, it is very frustrating. Chelsea's firepower is very spread out. The forwards can score goals, the midfielders can score goals, and the defenders can also score a lot. The goalkeeper has no goals. It is hard to guard against.
