Chapter 57 Super Team
In October, it was time for the national team to prepare for the 2006 World Cup qualifiers. There was only a group of substitutes left in Chelsea. Qiao Wanxian threw the team directly to Boas. Under the guidance of the beautiful agent Ye Xuan, he signed portrait authorization contracts with Coca-Cola and Barclays Bank respectively, all of which were three-year contracts, which brought about about 1 million pounds of income to Qiao Wanxian every year.
At this point, Qiao Wanxian no longer has any pressure on the economy.
On October 9, England won the second World Cup qualifiers with a goal from Lampard in the 3rd minute and captain Beckham in the 76th minute, winning the second World Cup qualifiers.
On October 14, England faced a weak team Azerbaijan away. In this game, captain Beckham was suspended, and Irving was injured and unable to play in the game against Liverpool. Chelsea captain Terry served as England's on-court captain. In the end, with Rooney's goal, England struggled to win three consecutive victories.
After three consecutive victories, Eriksson's pressure finally decreased a lot, but Qiao Wanxian's pressure was increased. On October 17, he will lead the team to challenge Blue Moon Manchester City away!
In Chelsea's lineup, Cech, Terry, Cannavaro, Galas, Marklele, Lampard, Kaka, Jokol, Rooney, Duff, Goodjohansen and others are the absolute main players of their respective national teams. The FIFA virus is spreading significantly in the team. Before the game, the physical fitness coach even said bluntly that Cannavaro, Kaka, Jokol, Duff and others can play half-court at most. Otherwise, under extreme fatigue, they may be distorted due to physical exhaustion and cause injuries.
However, even though Chelsea's lineup is now stretched, Manchester City coach Keegan still dares not take it lightly. Although Qiao Wanxian is young, he has received enough attention from him. After his research on Qiao Wanxian, he found that the reason why Chelsea has greatly tolerated Liverpool in defense is that Liverpool's head coach Benitez praised Qiao Wanxian in various public occasions and formed a very friendly relationship with him.
Keegan had some idea. Ten days before the game, he began to use Manchester City officials and the media to make various remarks of respect for Qiao Wanxian. His language was earnest and highly praised, which simply made Qiao Wanxian a myth in the world football world.
After a brief discussion with Boas, Joe Wanxian arranged the weakest lineup since he coached Chelsea.
Goalkeeper Cech, the two full-backs are Bridge and Ramos who did not play in the national team game, and the central defender is Terry and Garras. The biggest change is the midfielder, with Gremy, Parker, Lampard, Duff, Rooney, and Goodjohansen serving as single arrows!
When he saw Chelsea's starting list in the Times, Keegan finally let out a long sigh. It seemed that flattering was really useful to Joe Dapao.
In the 9th round of the Premier League season in 2004-05, Chelsea defeated Manchester City with a 2-1 away goal, achieving a 9-game winning streak in the league. However, in the standings, Chelsea only led Arsenal by 2 points. In the first 9 rounds of the league, Arsenal also achieved an impressive record of 8 wins and 1 draw.
In the next week, although we had a one-week double-game match in the Champions League, Chelsea played at home and there was no great pressure.
On October 20, the third round of the UEFA Champions League group stage started, and Chelsea played against the Russian Super League CSKA at home. Amid the tsunami of the tsunami of Stamford Bridge Stadium, Chelsea did not hesitate to do anything, with Rooney's double score, Terry's strong top, and Kaka's world wave, easily defeated CSKA Moscow with a score of 4:0.
In Group H, Chelsea won all three games and has secured a spot. What is even more gratifying is that Irving has made a comeback in this game. Although he did not score a goal, he was in good condition and his injury was fine.
In the 10th round of the Premier League, Chelsea will face Blackburn led by Mark Hughes at home. A few days before the game, Manchester City coach Keegan quietly called Mark Hughes, saying that he had discovered a weakness of Joe Cannon. As long as he said a few compliments before the game, he would definitely show mercy on the field.
Keegan and Hughes have a good relationship. When they hear this, Hughes thinks it makes sense when he thinks of the two games against Liverpool and Manchester City. So Mark Hughes kept praising Joe Wanxian through the media before the game, saying that Chelsea will definitely win the championship, and saying that Joe Wanxian is the best coach in the Premier League.
However, Mark Hughes has a poor influence, and in this round, all media focus has been on Manchester United's home match against Arsenal. Before that, Arsenal had maintained an unbeaten 49 games in the league, and Arsenal player Henry made a bold statement that he would beat Manchester United away!
Even Chelsea coach Joe Wanxian ignored the praise from Blackburn coach Mark Hughes and also focused on the game between Manchester United and Arsenal.
In history, it was in this game that Ferguson defeated the unbeaten Arsenal 2-0 at home, breaking the opponent's 49 unbeaten golden body, and breaking Arsenal's momentum to dominate the Premier League. But now because of Qiao Wanxian's arrival, the conflict between Ferguson and Keane broke out early, and it was out of control. Can Manchester United still block Arsenal's iron hoof?
The game was held on October 24, and at 22:00 on October 23, Chelsea's home match against Blackburn officially started.
After 10 days of rotation and rest, the FIFA virus finally dispersed in Chelsea's team, and Qiao Wanxian also took the initiative to rank the strongest 11 players.
Cech, Bridge, Terry, Cannavaro, Ramos, Mark Lele, Rooney, Kaka, Lampard, Joe Cole, and Irving. Seeing these 11 people jumping on the court doing warm-up exercises, Blackburn's head coach Mark Hughes felt a little panicked, especially the overwhelming Stamford Bridge, which was like a hot pot, baking the head coach from Wales.
Just in the second minute of the game, the fans all over the court cheered, Joe Cole dribbled the ball from the side, made a quick cross from the horizon, Irving inserted lightning, and scored a goal, 1:0, Chelsea got a fantasy start!
Mark Hughes raised his brows and glanced at Chelsea's coaching seat. He found that there was no joy on Qiao Wanxian's face. He was holding his cell phone in his hand, as if he was sending a text message! He felt something was wrong. Could it be that he had not flattered enough before the game that he did not satisfy Qiao Dapao's vanity?
Sure enough, Chelsea had no intention of being modest, with a strong offensive and fierce defense. In the 20th minute of the game, the score was rewritten again. This time the goal was Chelsea's left-back Bridge! This was his first goal this season. After the goal, he was extremely excited and celebrating wildly.
Mark Hughes looked ugly, and the figure standing on the sidelines looked a little thin, and he sat on the coach's seat with a grudge, even Keegan was annoyed.
After the first half, on the electronic scoreboard in the center of the stadium, the red Arabic numerals were bright and dazzling: 3:0!
As the first half approached, Rooney was on the left side of the penalty area, and he slapped the world wave arc straight into the upper right corner of the goal! Blackburn had no hope of turning around. After only half of the game, there was no suspense. He won 10 consecutive victories! He set the longest winning streak in Chelsea's history!
In Premier League history, the longest winning streak is 14 games, which were set by Arsenal in the 2001-02 season and 2003 season. Can Qiao Wanxian's Chelsea break this record?
After Chelsea beat Blackburn 6-1 at home, media experts conducted various discussions on the momentum of Chelsea's winning streak. In the next few league games, Chelsea will challenge West Bromwich away, Everton at home, Fulham away, Bolton at home, Charlton away, and Newcastle at home.
It can be said that Chelsea's opponents are obviously weak in the next 6 games. According to Chelsea's strength and its current invincible momentum, it is definitely not a problem to win another 6 consecutive victories after 10 consecutive victories! The result is that Chelsea will set a record-breaking myth of 16 consecutive victories!
The reason why media reporters assert that Chelsea will achieve 16 consecutive victories instead of 17 consecutive victories is because in the 17th round of the Premier League this season, Chelsea will be a visit to Highbury and challenge the defending champion Arsenal!
Which team is the most eye-catching in the entire Premier League team now? It is not Chelsea led by Qiao Dapao, who is at the forefront of public opinion, but the invincible Arsenal led by Wenger!
In the tenth round of the Premier League, Wenger led Arsenal to visit Old Trafford Stadium, scoring with Henry's double score and Gilberto Silva's long-range shot, and defeated Ferguson's Manchester United with a 3-0 record, reaching 50 games!
In that era, the undisputed world number one giant was not Real Madrid, which won the Champions League in 9, but the Red Devils and Manchester United created by Ferguson. But such a team is currently experiencing the most painful time and is suffering from the embarrassing situation of not having a league championship for three years after selling Beckham. Especially in the current Premier League ranking, Manchester United has only 12 points and ranks 12th in the league.
Gradually, media reporters and football celebrities' views tend to be unified. In this era, Chelsea and Arsenal are two super teams. When other Premier League teams face these two teams, they can only resist and have no ability to deal with them. In this situation, people suddenly discovered that the current Premier League pattern is much similar to La Liga.
After Benitez left Spain, the La Liga once again became a two-way competition between Real Madrid and Barcelona, and what about the Premier League? Chelsea and Arsenal seem to be better than other teams.
Spain's national derby can often trigger the enthusiasm of fans from all over the world. So what about England's national derby? Is it Chelsea vs. Arsenal?
