Chapter 854

The Champions League knockout is still early, but the battle between the league and Chelsea is just around the corner.

After Manchester United beat Arsenal 4-1, only the blues and Chelsea can compete for the league title.

At the beginning of the match, the performance of Chelsea was very eye-catching. For a time, they won five games in a row and scored more goals than Manchester United. But later, they fell behind and now their points are 11 points less than Manchester United. The initiative of defending the title is no longer in their hands.

In the last round, when Arsenal challenged Manchester United, Chelsea felt it was a good opportunity to narrow the difference between them. However, to their disappointment, Arsenal failed to complete the task of blocking Manchester United. Instead, they were kicked out of the championship team by Manchester United.

In this round of matches, the situation of Chelsea and Arsenal is similar. If Chelsea beat Manchester United and narrow the point gap to within two digits, there is still some suspense about the title race. If Chelsea draw with Manchester United, the hope of winning the title is very small. If this match is lost, there is only theoretical hope left.

If there is any advantage for Chelsea, it is that they are fighting at home, while Arsenal are fighting away. The home of Chelsea is terrible. In the era of Jose, there was a myth of 86 unbeaten games at home. So far this season, they have only lost one game. In the past eight years, Manchester United have not won a victory at Stamford Bridge.

Although Chelsea is 11 points behind Manchester United, Ancelotti's pressure is not as great as that of Arsenal. Last season, Chelsea won the league title. Now the boss Abramovich's goal is to win the Champions League. As long as they play well in the Champions League, it doesn't matter if they don't win the League title. Of course, if they lose the league title again, Ancelotti's fate will be very serious It's hard to predict.

Recently, there have been a lot of negative news about Chelsea, such as the contradiction between the French club and the local club, the dismissal of assistant coach Wilkins and the bombardment of Ancelotti by Anelka.

Before the battle with Manchester United, an article in the sun pointed out that the Chelsea players were afraid of Ancelotti leaving the team after the end of the season, suggesting that the French speaking players in the blue army were strained with other team-mates. Ancelotti finally came out to refute the rumours and face the team's many contradictions and problems, "will I stay at Chelsea until 2012? For now, at least until the summer of 2012. Did Abramovich and I have a discussion on the renewal of our contract? Not yet. It's a crucial moment to reshape Chelsea in the league, and I firmly believe that the team will be better and better than before. What's wrong with Chelsea? Injuries. It's not easy to replace Alex, Terry, Essien, Lampard and Drogba. Is there any trouble in the changing room? I have to say there is no problem in the dressing room, we have a very good relationship with each other

After a series of questions and answers, Ancelotti's tough stance was revealed. In the end, Ancelotti also announced that Lampard, the core of the blues midfield who has been injured for three months, is back from injury. There is no other accident. Lampard will definitely be included in the squad to play against Manchester United.

Lampard is the brain and magic lamp of Chelsea. He is also the most scoring midfield player in the history of the Premier League. Now the number of goals has exceeded 100. Lampard is also the most Chelsea player who has broken Manchester United's goals for four times. It's great news for the Chelsea fans that he can take part in the match against Manchester United.

Although the state of Chelsea is not good, the Premier League champion is the Premier League champion. Manchester United dare not be careless at all. Before the game, Ferguson even played a psychological war against Chelsea.

Ferguson said that the way of thinking of Chelsea was completely wrong, "they didn't renew their contracts with Ballack, Belletti, Deco and other veteran players. It's not wise for them to let Sturridge, mckeicklen and other young people take the lead. They can't win the championship with inexperienced players. Although there are young people in Manchester United, the team has always attached great importance to the role of veteran players. Scholes and Giggs have played here for so many years. They have rich experience in competitions. With people like them, it's never a problem for us to deal with strong dialogue

Speaking of the heavyweight duel and Lampard's comeback, Ferguson said: "the pressure on Chelsea is greater than ours. We have nothing to lose. We are at least eight points ahead. The initiative to win the championship is still in our hands. I don't worry about Lampard's comeback at all. Lampard is a great player with amazing attacking power. He has scored more than 20 goals for four years in a row, but now The midfield that can score the most does not belong to Lampard. Manchester United also have the midfield that can score the most, that is Gao Xiaodong. I believe that now the fans all over the world can't wait to see the two midfield that can score the most

In the view of the experienced Ancelotti, Ferguson just wants to create psychological pressure for Chelsea. He retorted: "Sir Alex should worry more about his new and old alternation, Gary. After Neville retired in the winter break, Manchester United couldn't even find a captain. I believe that my players will not be influenced by Sir Alex Ferguson. Chelsea is also a very experienced team. We will not give up any champion. Anyone who has been to Stamford Bridge knows that this is not a place where outsiders can be allowed to go wild. Starting with Manchester United, we need to get out of the trough, go back to the fast lane and start the process of winning continuously

"It doesn't affect us. We're very united now. We just care about whether we can stay focused on the pitch," the Chelsea Ironman told reporters. Although the points are not very good for us, we are determined to turn this disadvantage around Gao Xiaodong is a fantastic player. His attack is very strong. Manchester United are very dependent on him. I don't think this is what a champion team should be. As for me and Gao Xiaodong, whose attack is stronger, I don't think it's important. Winning the final championship is the most important thing"Lampard is a great player. He won the second golden ball award. This is the peak I haven't reached. Many people once called me Lampard of Manchester United or inter because I can score goals I don't think it's more important for me to play against frank and I, but I don't think it's more important for me to play against Frank The winner will be Manchester United. It has always been my dream to kick Chelsea out of the championship team
