[football] walk side by side

In the 38th round of the Premier League, Chelsea played against Liverpool at home.

"If we win this game, this season, do we have all revenge?" Powell heard the fans around him ask before the game started.

In fact, it's not surprising that he would ask such a question.

Chelsea is not like other teams in the Premier League, there is no deadly enemy.Even those who have been "resented" by Chelsea fans in recent years are more competitive opponents, and among them, Barcelona and Liverpool, which have frequently met in recent years, are the most popular.

Although there is no deep hatred, but after so many years of games, it can be regarded as a fire.

"How can it be... Isn't there Barcelona?" Powell whispered.

Although Chelsea fans did not pay attention to the live broadcast of the Barcelona VS Manchester United match, after seeing the exaggerated language in the British newspapers, adhering to the tactical spirit of knowing yourself and the enemy, many fans also found out the live broadcast to watch.And after watching it...

Powell himself has to admit that even as a diehard Chelsea fan, it is really difficult to have confidence in the possibility of "beating Barcelona".

Many fans were originally excited about the possibility of revenge against Barcelona, ​​but they were almost wiped out by this head-on cold water.

Can Chelsea really beat Barcelona now?

This may be the question that exists in the hearts of all Chelsea fans, but no one has asked this question except fans of other teams-although they themselves do not have much confidence in the team's victory over Barcelona, ​​but if they It is bound to be impossible to be soft on Barcelona like this.

Who knows what will happen in the finals?There is still a dream, what if it comes true?

Powell thought so comfortingly.

"Forget it, don't think about it so much, it's serious to win the league first." Powell said, waving the blue scarf that he carried with him: "God bless, I hope we can win the league championship smoothly!"

"Good afternoon, all fans and friends. This is the 2010th round of the 2011/38 Premier League season. It is also the last round to determine the title of this league. Chelsea is playing at home against Liverpool. At the same time, Manchester City is playing away against Arsenal. Narrative games will also be played simultaneously."

While the commentator Jimmy was talking, the Premier League standings jumped out simultaneously on the TV screen. He continued: "Chelsea and Manchester City have the same league points at the moment, and Chelsea are currently at the top of the list with three goals. If they can successfully win Liverpool , regardless of the result of another Manchester City-Arsenal game, the Blues will win the Premier League title this season. Of course, if Chelsea lose this game, then the Premier League title this season may only be handed over to It's up to Arsenal to decide."

In the home locker room of the Stamford Bridge Stadium, Di Matteo finished some tactical explanations and exhortations.His eyes swept across the scattered players in the locker room, with a hesitant look on his face.

Ever since that 3-1 Champions League semi-final, the atmosphere in the Chelsea team has been strange.

Whether it was 3-1 Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-finals or 7-1 Tottenham in the league, these games did not seem to bring any emotional changes to the Chelsea players-although at the end of the game, the players were still as usual, Use your favorite way of expressing excitement and celebration, but once it's time to get back to the locker room and practice routine, the team calms down.

Train peacefully, leave peacefully.Few people say any inappropriate words in front of the media - because most of them don't accept media interviews at all, and the whole team is surprisingly quiet, giving Di Matteo a kind of uneasiness before the storm.

If it's one or two people, it's fine, but most of the teams are almost like this.

There was some worry in his heart, but it was just worry.Frankly speaking, the Chelsea team's game status is actually quite good. They are not proud of winning or losing, and their mentality is stable. They have not been affected by any external factors. It can be said that they are in a serious state of preparation.

Di Matteo thought about it for a long time, and also tried to chat with the players individually, but the reactions of the players made him unable to tell the problem, and in the end he could only let it go.

I hope this state does not have any negative impact on the game...

He thought about it, didn't say any more, left the locker room with the coaching staff, and came to the coach's bench.

In everyone's imagination, this should be a close game.

Over the years, whenever Chelsea and Liverpool face off, there have been frequent heavyweight duels. This is largely due to the similar strength and temperament of the two.Whether it is Liverpool or Chelsea, the spirits of the two teams in the game are very similar, which is why the red-blue battle has been the focus of the past few years.

"Chelsea still has a full lineup for the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final next week. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the 3-1 score gave them a sense of security..." After introducing the two sides Jimmy began to analyze the lineups of the two sides, but he couldn't complete the series of words.

because--

"Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

Jimmy's originally calm and analytical tone also paused, and he immediately became excited as if he changed his mode: "Ohhhh!! Unbelievable pass! Slade passed a very beautiful transfer ball! Liverpool responded to this The defense is not enough, we can only let Lampard put the football into the net!! Chelsea got a good start! 1-0!"

At this time, many fans didn't even find their seats, they only heard deafening cheers from the whole stadium in an instant, and when they looked at the stadium dumbfounded, Lampard, who scored the goal, was already holding The ball returned to the center circle.

Who can stop Barcelona?

Will Chelsea really be Barcelona's rivals?

For the Chelsea players, they haven't thought about this issue, and they don't plan to think about it for the time being.Food needs to be eaten one bite at a time, and the road needs to be walked step by step. Before defeating Real Madrid and advancing to the final, the battle with Barcelona is not within their consideration.

They think so and do it.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!! SECOND GOAL! From Cyril Slade! Fantastic breakthrough! I have to say it was too difficult to stop Slade who suddenly advanced, as time went on, He has rarely used those beautiful dribbles anymore, and his movements have become more and more streamlined, but they are just as effective! He can use passes to tear apart Liverpool's defense, and he can also use dribbles to tear Liverpool's defense to pieces !"

Although Liverpool striker Carroll soon scored a goal for Liverpool shortly after the opening of the second half, Chelsea responded immediately. Cyril received a long pass from Lampard in the frontcourt and locked it for Chelsea. Victory!

As we all know, Liverpool is a very strong team mentally.

No matter how disadvantaged the score is, it is not enough to affect its players to work hard until the last moment, but——

"It is undeniable that Liverpool performed very well in this game, but unfortunately, Chelsea are even better than them." The commentator Jimmy said: "They had a few chances to equalize the score and even overtake the score, but Chelsea was tough. The defense did not give them the possibility to realize it, and the last must-go goal was also stopped by Petr Cech's god-level save."

"Looking at Chelsea again—their players cooperate with each other tacitly. Whether they are leading or being equalized, their emotions are very stable. Before the game, many people thought that Chelsea was old, outdated, and not united. Chelsea's performance is undoubtedly the best proof to the outside world. It is the solidarity between each other and the persistence of veterans that make Chelsea come to the present with solid steps!"

“比赛结束，主场作战的切尔西以3-1的比分战胜了远道而来的利物浦，同一时间的另一场比赛中，曼城与阿森纳1-1战平。换句话说——恭喜切尔西！他们是2010/2011赛季英超联赛冠军！”

"Chelsea 3-1 Liverpool won the championship, Slade made two shots and one pass, Lampard scored. "

After the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final with Real Madrid, when most of the European media focused their attention on the terrifying Barcelona, ​​Chelsea turned a blind eye to it and always maintained a stable internal mentality. , The performance in the league is getting better and better.

It is this kind of calmness and calmness that has caused many media to turn their attention back to Chelsea.Unlike previous criticisms or criticisms, this time, more media began to analyze and discuss an issue of practical significance——

"Is Chelsea really a big team? "

"Since the Champions League semi-finals came out, Chelsea, which was deeply troubled by the internal conflicts between the head coach and the dressing room not long ago, has immediately become a team recognized as a 'big' team in the eyes of everyone, but it is such a 'big' team. , led the La Liga giants Real Madrid 3-1 at home, scored a 7-1 massacre in the FA Cup final, and even won Liverpool 3-1 in the last round of the league yesterday. defended the Premier League title this season."

"Is such a team that has defended the top league champions and won the double crown for two consecutive years really a 'fishy' team? The author believes that looking at the current Chelsea from the perspective of the past is not only good for Chelsea. Unfair, and unfair to its opponents."

"Counting down the Chelsea games this season, whether in the league or the cup, whether it was the early Boas period or the later Di Matteo period, Chelsea have achieved quite good results, except for the conflicts within the team in the middle. , leading to a series of low tides in the game, looking at Chelsea's performance before and after, they can be regarded as a strong European team, even in the semi-finals of the Champions League, they may not be worse than other teams."

"Now that Manchester United is close to being eliminated and it is difficult for other teams to support the Premier League in the Champions League, who can guarantee that this Chelsea team will not surprise us?"
