v5 Chapter 167： Abu's expectations

Now is the time for Chelsea to be complacent. As in previous seasons, they have invested a lot of capital in the transfer market to supplement the team's lineup. 【..】

Shepchenko, Mikel, Bollaruz, Kalu, the names of these players are put together, even if the sale of Damien Duff and others have recovered 18 million pounds, Chelsea will be nothing. Undoubtedly became the largest player in the transfer costs of the Premier League and even Europe this summer.

Among the players coming, the most important ones are Shepchenko and Barak.

Shepchenko is undoubtedly one of the top strikers in the world football. He is the absolute core of AC Milan. He has been the best S player in Serie A for two seasons. Last year he also won the top honors of European players- Golden Globe Awards, which made his personal career peak.

He is undoubtedly the world's top superstar.

Barak is even more worth looking forward to than Shepchenko. He is the captain of the German team. Bayern Munich and the German national team are the absolute core players. He is the most outstanding star in Germany. His arrival makes Chelsea's midfield configuration leap. Top in the world.

Not only that, Chelsea is still striving for the entry of Ashley Cole. In the world, Ashley Cole may not be as famous as the first two, but he is undoubtedly the best side of England after 2000. The defender, even one of them, can be removed, especially when he is only 26 years old, and he is at the peak of professional players. The addition of such players can greatly strengthen Chelsea's ability to defend and attack on the sidelines.

Of course, Ashley Cole's worth is definitely not low.

If this transfer is finalized, then Chelsea ’s transfer fee investment and net expenditure will create a new record since Abramovich entered Stamford Bridge.

Under such circumstances, Chelsea's spirit is conceivable.

Their goals in the new season will undoubtedly charge towards the Premier League and the Champions League double-line champions, but at the same time they think that the previous results are also very uncomfortable. For two consecutive seasons, they lost to Wan Sheng in the league competition. The team can only rank second in the Premier League in the Champions League. Their performance was also unsatisfactory, once in the top four, once in the top sixteen, which is not even as good as Chelsea led by Russell in the 0304 season.

So before they can win the double impact champion, they must use the game to prove something.

This time against Manchester City. It can be said to be in the middle, they just want to avenge their hatred in the first game, let everyone around the world see, in the end is Chelsea strong, Chelsea strong. Chelsea is stronger! !

The first round between the two sides was at Stamford Bridge Stadium.

Before the game, the London media had tried their best to build momentum for the game and played the slogan of "foundation", "the battle of foundations", which laid the cornerstone of Chelsea's victory.

Then they did not forget to use the slogan of Wan Sheng to help Chelsea promote.

"Last season, also at this time, Wan Sheng said that Manchester City's goal is the league champion. Now it's Chelsea's turn to say this. Chelsea's goal is the league champion, the Champions League champion! The king of Europe! Now it is Chelsea The first step to winning the championship, the opponent, Manchester City! "

"Chelsea will use a starter victory. To prove to English fans, who is the strongest club in the Premier League! Manchester City have only won a league title, it is impossible to always have good results by luck and impetus, everything still has to be Talk by strength! This season has not yet begun, but we can already look forward to Chelsea's championship! "

"This is a good opportunity to prove! The first game will start with the defending champion, and the team will definitely have a strong morale!"

"Chelsea introduced a lot of superstars in the summer, and Barak's joining is already at the end of May. Now Chelsea has completed a transfer that shocked the world football. They introduced Ukraine from ac Milan for 50 million euros. ' 'Nuclear warhead'. Last year's Golden Globe winner Andre Shepchenko! Today Chelsea has gathered all the best stars on the planet! "

"Shepchenko, Barak, Drogba, Makelele, Lampard, Terry, Robben ..."

"A few seasons ago, Real Madrid liked to call them the Galactic Battleships, but now. Chelsea is the real battleship, but perhaps it is better to call it the 'Blue Battleship'!"

The London media supporting Chelsea desperately wanted to prove that today's Chelsea is enough to beat any team encountered, which naturally includes Manchester City.

Chelsea thinks so too.

The club's chairman Abramovich was very eager for the new season. The first two seasons disappointed him. His expectation was originally to "conquer Europe", but Mourinho led the team without even conquering England. While annoying Mourinho's lead, Abramovich knew that he had thought too simple before. , European football clubs, especially European giants, are not easy to deal with. It ’s not that putting together a few stars and bringing a top coach, the team can have good results. What Chelsea lacks is that kind of heritage, like The season of Arsenal and ac Milan, Arsenal's strength is also good, they can enter the UEFA Champions League final with a rush, but in the final is not easy to lose to ac Milan?

This is the gap between the two teams in terms of strength!

Last season's Chelsea, it seems that there are excellent players in all positions, but in fact, they are not better than other teams. As far as the league champions Manchester City are concerned, Anelka is not weaker than Drog in the frontcourt. Pakistan, Morris is not worse than Lampard, Distin, Dunn, etc., nor is it much worse than Bitri and Carvalho. Even if the Chelsea players are expensive, a transfer will raise the player ’s worth. In the second case, Chelsea introduced players who had a 'championship aura' and were in the year they were playing. In the real game, they are not necessarily much stronger than the blue-collar players in the top games.

This may also be an important reason why Chelsea cannot conquer England and Europe with absolute strength.

So the introduction of several real superstars is the key, like Barcelona, ​​they have the famous Ronaldinho, like ac Milan, they have Shepchenko, Kaka, Pirlo and other superstars, like Bayern Munich, they have Barak and almost all of the German football market, almost all German players will want to join Bayern Munich, they will not lack excellent players.

In contrast, who is Chelsea?

Lampard, Drogba? No, there is still a gap between them and the real top stars.

So this summer. Abramovich took great care to bring Barak and Shepchenko, this time Chelsea is no different from the top giants! ?

The generosity of summer is enough to explain to fans. The rest of the work will be this season.

Now Chelsea will use the game to prove that the rise of England's new giants!

...

Abramovich is full of confidence in the first game against Manchester City. He was proud of the joining of two superstars, Shepchenko and Barak, and he had planned to watch the game in person.

But Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho has a headache for the team.

The main thing is Shepchenko.

Shepchenko was not the player he needed. Chelsea bought Shepchenko. This is the idea of ​​the club's chairman Abramovich.

No one could c-handle his team before, but it is different now, because two seasons failed to lead the team to an ideal result (League first), Abramovich has not trusted him so much, and then It is inevitable that the strong chairman will point the finger at the team.

Shepchenko can be said to have been plugged into Chelsea by Abramovich, but Mourinho still welcomes Shepchenko on the surface. After all, this is the world's top striker. But the arrangement of this s hand became a problem.

First, can Shepchenko adapt to Chelsea tactics in a short time. Whether it can be quickly integrated into the team is a headache.

Chelsea's tactics are not so complicated. The formation is 442 and 433. Either of the two is chosen. Mourinho claimed that "whichever form is easy to use", in fact, he thinks so, but even tactic Not so complicated, it also needs to adapt. Some small tactics and the like need to come step by step, especially Shepchenko has just entered the team, and there is little tacit understanding with his teammates. He wants to play on behalf of Chelsea, it will take a while.

In addition, even if the Ukrainian adapts to Chelsea, can he adapt to the Premier League?

This is a critical issue.

The Premier League is different from Serie A. The league's confrontation ranks first in the world football. Many players from other leagues are unable to adapt to the Premier League. This is also one of the top players in other leagues, but one of the important reasons why English clubs like to use English players.

Shepchenko has played in the Italian league for several years. It is not easy to adapt to the Premier League, but the key problem is that Mourinho cannot put him on the bench for a long time, because this is Abramovich's optimistic player. He even had a good personal relationship with Abramovich, he was also a heavyweight star that Chelsea spent 50 million euros introducing.

50 million euro star, sitting on the bench for a long time? Even Mourinho felt unreasonable.

It is about to enter the league now, and Manchester City is about to fight. How to arrange Shepchenko has become a problem. Mourinho carefully considered it, or he can only choose to put Shepchenko on the big list and put it In the starting lineup, after all, Shepchenko's ability to adapt is only in doubt. This has not been confirmed. He also hopes that the Ukrainian star can perform well.

...

Wan Sheng didn't know that Mourinho was worrying about Chelsea's 'superstar'. If he knew it, he would also smile bitterly, because he also hopes to have this 'happy trouble'.

He wouldn't care about his opponent c, but before the game, he saw a smile when she saw Shepchenko on the starting list of Chelsea.

As a passer-by, especially a passer-by who loves football in his previous life, Wan Sheng knows nothing about Shepchenko ’s performance after moving to Chelsea. , Return to a Milan are not willing to spend any transfer fee to buy him.

It can be said that Shepchenko joined Chelsea, which is the beginning of his career towards the end, then how many performances he will have in the first league of the Premier League can be imagined.

The outside media all said that Manchester City needed to "beware" Shepchenko's outbreak, but in fact, when Wan Sheng arranged the team's defense, the player he focused on was still Drogba.

Compared to Shepchenko, Mr. Warcraft, who is getting better and better, is more terrifying.

In the locker room of the Stamford Bridge away team, Wan Sheng put down the starting list and then said to all the players, "You have to pay attention to Drogba, how to defend him?"

Kopler Ferreira and Dunn nodded. They are no strangers to Drogba. They played Chelsea twice last season, enough to give them the experience of defending Drogba.

"What about Sheva?" Joey Barton asked.

"Also pay attention, but do not need to focus on marking, I think their midfield will be more threatening." The midfield composed of Lampard and Barack is of course threatening!

In fact, there is no way for Wansheng to do this. Chelsea have too many stars. For example, Drogba, Lampard and Barak all need to focus on marking. Even if it is a wing, Chelsea also has Robben and Wright Phillips Such a genius, they can't focus on staring at each other's stars. In this case, they must have selective marking.

What Wansheng said is that when defending Drogba and Shepchenko at the same time, focus on defending Drogba and letting Shepchenko go. This is related to the choice of players on the field. It is probably directly related to the safety of the goal.

...

Abramovich sat in the VIP room early to wait for the game to begin.

Waddell sat with him.

The two can only count as knowing each other. For several seasons, Chelsea and Manchester City have met. Sometimes they catch up with them and they will sit together. After all, they are the presidents of their respective clubs.

In the first few seasons, Abramovich will laugh to the end, because Manchester City is not Chelsea's opponent at all.

Last season was different. Manchester City and Chelsea played twice, winning one and averaging to gain an advantage. When Abramovich saw Wadel again, the expression on his face was not good.

But Abramovich still smiled because he believed that the victory belonged to Chelsea.

Vardel also smiled.

Manchester City was the league champion last season. This was Manchester City ’s first league game. It was hard to say who won or lost against Chelsea. He believes in victory, but probably the young Chinese can win without 100% certainty? So he came with a failed mentality ~ www.novelhall.com ~ lose and lose!

Waddell has been the chairman of Manchester City for so many years. He has lost too many games, and it doesn't matter at all. He came with a mentality to appreciate the game and also wanted to see the specifics of Manchester City's new season.

This mentality will relax a lot, so his smile is sincere.

The two shook hands politely, and then returned to their seats, looking at the playing field through the window.

At this time, both players are playing.

Abramovich's smile is even stronger, because he saw Andre Shepchenko in the starting lineup, the best 'comrade' in European football, he spent 50 million euros, not just buying one The superstar can also bring the most admired 'community' to Chelsea and establish a dynasty with him, which also makes him think that the money is very worthwhile.

Now he is already looking forward to Shepchenko's performance. (~ ^ ~)
