Chapter 199 Attacking Chelsea
Ranked first in Europe, last season Chelsea gave many people the impression that they were an upstart, but after less than half of the new season, almost no one thinks that Chelsea is not a giant anymore. After the fourth round of the Champions League, many media and experts suddenly realized that they need to look at Chelsea with new eyes. After Chen Xiao arrived, Chelsea has undergone tremendous changes.

Fighting spirit, tenacity, and the ability to defend against iron barrels are all things that a rich team should have in the game, and Chelsea have marked Chelsea on the pitch since the start of this season. Moreover, since the beginning of this season, Chelsea have always insisted on their own tactics no matter what kind of opponent they face. This is also a sign of a rich team.

After Chen Xiao joined Chelsea, Chelsea's style of play was richer than before. In addition to maintaining a sharp attack in the center, the arrival of Chen Xiao not only made Chelsea's attack on the right unstoppable, but also activated Robben on the left.

This style of playing with both wings and the middle is also the reason why many teams clearly know Chelsea's tactics, but they just can't defend them, and Chen Xiao's free kick is also the magic weapon for Chelsea to win in many games.

After the match against Mainz, London's "Daily Mail" put a photo of Chen Xiao kissing the team emblem after scoring a goal on the front page, with the headline titled Champions of Europe, praising Chelsea in the article for having completely got rid of the temperament of a nouveau riche, and now Chelsea is full of aristocratic atmosphere.

Another point is that Chen Xiao’s self-discipline has made him a clear stream among professional players in the Premier League. The more Chen Xiao maintains this, the more he will be sought after in the eyes of Premier League fans. Some time ago, the Sun newspaper conducted a survey, one of which was the most popular Premier League player.

This also led to an increasing number of Chelsea fans in Country Y, but most of them were Chen Xiao's fans.

"This is the strongest Chelsea in history!" "The Times" issued such a headline on its front page. In the article, the reporter believed that although the season has not yet passed, only Chelsea and Manchester United can win the league title this season. However, Chelsea, which is 5 points ahead of Manchester United, has already taken the initiative. At the end of the article, Chen Xiao was also mentioned. The reporter said that Chen Xiao would become the best player in the history of the Premier League.

When all kinds of praise from the outside world came, Chelsea ushered in their first league game in December.

On December 12th, the 6th round of the Premier League will be rekindled. In this round, Chelsea will go to the St. Andrews Stadium to face Birmingham, which is deeply in the relegation zone this season.

At 5 pm on the day of the game, the game between the two teams officially began.

Facing the strong and thriving Chelsea, Birmingham could not stop Chelsea's iron hooves from leveling their home court. In the 90 minutes of the game, although Birmingham put on a defensive formation, Chelsea got the key to victory in the 21st minute of the game. Of course, Chen Xiao was the best weapon to break Chelsea's dense defense at critical moments. In the 21st minute, Chen Xiao used his dribbling ability to create a free kick about 27 meters away from the goal. The ball was sent into the opponent's goal, and this ball also made Birmingham's attempted defensive tactics fail.

Although Chen Xiao didn't score again in the subsequent game, Chen Xiao once again completed a hat-trick of assists.

In the end, Chelsea beat Birmingham at home 4-0 at the St. Andrews Stadium, thus raising their points in the league standings to 46 points. What surprised Chelsea was not only the victory, but also their opponents.

In this way, after the 16th round, Chelsea had 46 points ahead of No.2 Manchester United by 8 points.

As a result, various outside media praised Chelsea more enthusiastically, but these did not interfere with Chelsea's preparations at all. After the league ended, Chelsea once again focused on the Champions League.

On December 12, Chelsea will go to Portugal, and the fifth round of the UEFA Champions League group match against Porto will be at the Dragon Stadium. This game is also the first time Mourinho has returned to the Dragon Stadium as an opponent.

Although he was an opponent, the warm scene in the stands before the game still made Mourinho, who always appeared on the court with a tough attitude, shed tears. This is where Mourinho became famous and the starting point of Mourinho's career.

Although the actions of Porto fans moved Mourinho, Mourinho did not show any mercy.

Chen Xiao did not appear in the starting lineup in this game. This is not to say that Mourinho is letting the water go, but that Chelsea has already qualified ahead of schedule. There is no need for Chelsea to fight the opponent desperately in the group stage of the Champions League. Such a situation is also protecting the main players like Chen Xiao.

In the end, Chen Xiao sat on the bench for a full 90 minutes. Until the end, Mourinho did not use a nuclear weapon player like Chen Xiao, because Chelsea completely controlled the situation in this game. Although the final score was only 2 to 1, a small victory with one goal, but from the beginning to the end of the game, both offense and defense were completely controlled by Chelsea. As for the conceded goal, it was just a penalty kick given to the home team by the referee before the game ended.

After the fifth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Chelsea accumulated 15 points to secure the first place in the group one round ahead of schedule.

The second place in the group, Liverpool, also successfully defeated Mainz in the same group this round, and got the last qualifying spot in the group ahead of schedule. This also made the last round of the UEFA Champions League group match between Liverpool and Chelsea at home completely lose its practical significance, leaving only face.

After the match against Porto, Chelsea returned to London.

12月13日英超第17轮，切尔西继续自己的连胜之旅，回到主场的切尔西以3比0轻松战胜了到访的西布朗维奇，连胜积分榜积分50分。

This week, Chelsea will usher in a horrible week of three games. After 17 rounds of matches, Chelsea has ushered in its FA Cup round of 32 non-stop, and the most important thing is that Chelsea’s good luck seems to have run out. It may also be that Chelsea is destined to entangle with Liverpool this season until the end of the season. Next, Chelsea will face Liverpool twice at Anfield, namely the FA Cup round of 12 on December 15 and the final round of the Champions League group on December 32. Impossible, 12 to the team, so lucky to draw Liverpool for Chelsea, if this is God's will, then God must rest today.
