Football: Invincible starting from krypton gold

Chapter 186 Theoretical Hope
On October 10th, Chen Xiao returned to the capital again, and then went to the training base of the national team to report. After two games, Chen Xiao had a certain tacit understanding with the teammates of the national team.

For the qualifiers for the 06 World Cup, the current Xia Guo team can be regarded as walking on thin ice. The only remaining hope is finally in the hands of others, especially in the ninth round.

目前的B组的积分是：沙特20分、韩国14分、伊拉克11分、夏国8分、阿曼7分、乌兹别克斯坦4分。

This round of Group B games is: Xiaguo played against Saudi Arabia at home, South Korea challenged Uzbekistan away, and Iraq played away against Oman.

So this round of the Xia Guo team is really a glimmer of theoretical hope. This round of opponents is believed to be familiar to all Xia Guo fans. The historical grievances between the Saudi national team and the Xia Guo team can be traced back to the 1982 World Cup qualifiers. The Xia Guo team also hates New Zealand.

And history seems to have returned to the starting point again. This time Xia Guo encountered a similar situation, because even if the Xia Guo team realized their shame and bravely won the last two rounds, there is still a great possibility that they will be eliminated by the West Asian team in the end.

And the factual situation is developing as everyone fears.

On October 10, the ninth round of Group B of the 9 World Cup Asian Qualifier kicked off as scheduled.

In the Workers Stadium in Beijing, the match between Xia Guo and Saudi Arabia was held as scheduled. In the final 90 minutes of the game, Xia Guo relied on Chen Xiao’s two goals at home in the 43rd and 68 minutes, and finally defeated the Saudi team that had already qualified 2-1. In another game that attracted the attention of Xia Guo fans, the result of the match between Iraq and Oman also disappointed and even angered many Xia Guo fans, because in the end Oman tied with Iraq 1-1 at home. , Oman's central defender took off the top to allow the Iraqi striker to find a single-handed opportunity.

In another game, South Korea defeated Uzbekistan 2-0 in the away game, thus accumulating 17 points and got the second World Cup finals ticket in Group B one round ahead of schedule.

After the 9 rounds, the points of Group B are as follows: Saudi Arabia with 20 points and South Korea with 17 points advance ahead of schedule, Iraq ranks third with 12 points, Xia Guo ranks fourth with 11 points, Oman with 8 points and Uzbekistan with 4 points are eliminated early.

At present, Japan and Iran in Group A have also obtained tickets in advance, so the final suspense in the Asian qualifiers is who will get the half ticket. There is no suspense about the third place in Group A.

The last round of competition will be held on October 10. At that time, the Xia Guo team will go away to challenge their last opponent in the top twelve --- the South Korean team.

However, after this round of competition, many Xia Guo fans have recognized the facts. Everyone knows that the hopes of the Xia Guo team in the 06 World Cup are indeed relatively slim. Not to mention how difficult the game against South Korea is for the Xia Guo team, it is very hopeless to talk about the West Asian brothers' joint encirclement and suppression of the Xia Guo team.

Even Chen Xiao had little hope of entering the World Cup finals, but after this incident, Chen Xiao and other Xia Guo team members deeply understood what it was like to leave their fate in the hands of others. If possible, they would never want such a thing to happen again.

After finishing the 9th round of the Top [-], Chen Xiao didn't rush back to London immediately, but took advantage of the suspension to stay in Beijing to accompany Liu Yifei for a few days.

While Chen Xiao accompanied Liu Yifei to enjoy their two-person world with ease, Chelsea's winning streak was terminated by their opponents in the ninth round of the Premier League.

One day after the match against Saudi Arabia, on October 10, the ninth round of the Premier League rekindled the war.

In this round, Chelsea went to the Stadium of Light to challenge Sunderland. Due to the impact of the last round against Portsmouth, Mourinho, Aixin and Chen Xiao were all suspended in this round. Originally, for this round of opponents who were weaker than themselves, Chelsea fans felt that the game was a sure-fire match. Unexpectedly, the last moment gave everyone a surprise.

The start of the game was very smooth for Chelsea. In the 14th minute of the game, Arjen Robben from the left gave Chelsea a one-goal lead with a shot from a small angle in the penalty area.

But in the next game, Chelsea seemed to be cursed, no matter how many shots they could not break through the opponent's goal, and in the 87th minute of the game, they were evened by a long shot from outside the penalty area by the opponent.

In the end, Chelsea had no choice but to accept a 1-1 draw at the Guangmen Stadium.

In this way, Chelsea ended their winning streak in the league.

After spending three days with Liu Yifei in the capital, Chen Xiao took a special plane back to London. Because the Champions League battle was reignited again, Chen Xiao's suspension was only a game under the FA, so Chelsea's lineup for the Champions League is still very neat.

The second round of the UEFA Champions League group stage will officially start on October 10. This time Chelsea will face the challenge of Porto at their home court.

Chen Xiao, who returned to London on the 12th, returned to the club for the first time to report, and immediately put himself into the training camp. Although Porto's strength seemed to be weaker than Chelsea, and Chelsea was still playing at home, Mourinho did not dare to underestimate any opponent in the Champions League, let alone for Porto, he was the previous head coach.

So after Chelsea met their old club in the first round of the Champions League, UEFA's promotional focus on this game was still the old club, but it was transferred from Chen Xiao to Mourinho.In order to promote the Champions League, it can be said that it will do everything possible.
