Li Tiancheng felt that as soon as his body recovered, Stamford Bridge was already in front of him.
In the eighth round of the Premier League, Liverpool challenged Chelsea away.
This game can be regarded as the focus of the battle. The upstart local tycoon faces the traditional giants, which is full of gimmicks.
It is a pity that Mourinho did not start a war of words before the game, which disappointed all parties.
The media and the public are looking forward to this madman continuing to speak nonsense.
In a short period of time, madmen attacking the sky, the ground, and the air have become a beautiful sight in the Premier League. Now that you can’t see it, it’s hard to avoid making people uncomfortable.
Stamford Bridge really needs to be adapted to, the turf is as bumpy as a vegetable patch.
"Abu is so rich, but he doesn't properly repair his home stadium. It really affects the image of a rich man!" Li Tiancheng secretly cursed, but he became more serious and wanted to walk around every corner ten times to make sure everything was perfect.
This game cannot be sloppy on both sides.
Also unbeaten, Chelsea have one more draw than Arsenal and are two points behind in second place.
The problem is that Arsenal seems to be a little weak now. The unbeaten record is certainly good, but it also puts heavy pressure on the entire Arsenal team. It seems that they are not in good condition. They only got one draw as a guest in Norway.
.
Arsenal may drop points at any time. What Chelsea need to do is very simple, ensure that the pace of pursuit does not stall and seize every opportunity to surpass them.
Liverpool is also eyeing the championship. It has been fourteen years since they won the league title. It has become a routine to sprint for the championship every year. They will never show weakness when facing opponents to win the championship. The pursuit of the top spot has become instinctive.
But this is not the most important thing. Liverpool's first seven league games were postponed by one game. They had four wins, one draw and one loss in six games, with a total of 13 points, which is not bad in theory.
In comparison, Arsenal only has 19 points and Chelsea has 17 points. The gap is not big, and the gap is even smaller including make-up games.
Compared with the pitiful nine points of rival Manchester United, Liverpool has an even greater advantage.
Coupled with the fact that the lineup is slightly weaker than its opponents, Liverpool should be basically satisfied with the current results.
But one thing is terrible. Everton is actually ranked ahead of Liverpool. They have five wins, one draw and one loss from seven games, with 16 points, ranking third.
As a rival in the same city, Everton has a pretty good record in the league this season. They only lost to Arsenal and drew with Manchester United. The record is quite valuable. Liverpool also struggled to draw with Manchester United.
This makes Liverpool quite difficult to accept. You must know that although they are in a downturn, Liverpool has been firmly suppressing this city rival, and now it has climbed to the top. This situation is quite rare and simply unacceptable.
In this round of the Premier League, Everton's game has ended. They lost to Tottenham by a small goal and did not score any points. This gave Liverpool a chance.
As long as they win, Liverpool will not only be able to defeat their title rivals and catch up with the gap at the top of the table, but also be able to tie the points with their city rivals. Considering that they have one game in hand, it is not an exaggeration to say that they will put Everton under them again.
The double stimulation cannot be achieved without Liverpool working hard.
Benitez analyzed these situations clearly at the pre-match mobilization meeting. Every Liverpool player is full of fighting spirit, and Li Tiancheng is certainly no exception.
It's just that before the game started, Li Tiancheng didn't analyze his opponent in every detail as usual, but focused on the magic bird.
For the first time, Li Tiancheng met the "madman" Mourinho himself, who complained about opponents, referees, media, and the sky, the ground, and the air.
Not to mention, compared to Benitez who went bald at a young age, Mourinho is indeed much more handsome. Coupled with his strong personality, no wonder Gerrard privately said that Mourinho is very charming.
"It is said that this guy likes to wear Armani trench coats, so Armani asked him to be its spokesperson. If it were Benitez, Armani would have to give him money to beg him not to wear it, right?"
This idea was so ridiculous that Li Tiancheng almost laughed out loud.
However, this magic bird just defeated his old club and the new Champions League champion Porto in the Champions League.
Different from 1:0 in the league, the score of 3:1 fully demonstrates that Chelsea's attack power is strong enough. It also shows from the side that this man does not control the team with his face and mouth. This magic bird definitely has real abilities.
of.
For such a group of strong players to be willing to work hard on defense is not something that everyone can do.
No wonder he likes to mention the verbal attacks and death threats from fans of his old club.
From another perspective, it shows that his ability and charm are indeed extraordinary, which is why the fans of his old club are so crazy. "Special one" is not just his self-promotion.
According to Carragher, this guy's autobiography is still very popular, "Mourinho, Forever Winner". Although it is common in Europe to make money from autobiographies, it is indeed rare for a head coach to be so young and qualified to earn such money.
money.
However, Li Tiancheng quickly turned his attention to the field. No matter how capable the head coach is, the game is still played by the players.
Benitez started young goalkeeper Kirkland in place of Dudek.
This brother's first start this season was the battle between the Red and Blue teams. It can be seen that Benitez was really pissed off by Dudek, and the constant rash attacks in the Champions League games were indeed a headache.
Also having a poor performance in the Champions League, Baros also lost his place in the starting lineup. Kewell took his place. This was a matter of course. Baros struggled in the deep forward position. Kewell and Garcia were both better than him.
Very adaptable.
Hamann's performance was actually okay, but he could no longer withstand the high intensity of double matches a week, so Diaw replaced him in the starting lineup.
The reasons for these three adjustments are quite sufficient, but not enough.
Traore replaced Finnan in the starting lineup, which is confusing. It can only be attributed to Benitez's desire for rotation.
Traore played at left back, Riise was moved to the left center midfielder, and Garcia returned to the right center midfielder.
Bennett seems to be planning to make full use of Rise's outstanding heavy artillery.
Five starters were replaced in one go. It is not known whether these people can bring the "more iron will" that Benitez believes Liverpool needs.
These were his exact words. In an interview before the game, he believed that Liverpool needed more iron will.
Unlike Liverpool, Chelsea hopes to maintain a stable lineup, and Mourinho hopes to maintain a winning streak with a winning lineup.
This is the third time in a row that they have fielded the same lineup.
I don’t know if the stability that Magic Bird hopes for can continue to be stable.
In addition, it is said that this highlight event attracted the England national team coach Eriksson to watch. It is not known whether this will stimulate the England players of the two teams.
But thinking about it, this guy has gotten rid of the influence of the triangle scandal. He is really lucky. The other two have all resigned.
The opening whistle interrupted his random thoughts, and Li Tiancheng began to focus.
Soon after the game started, Li Tiancheng's expression became serious, and the media criticized Mourinho all day long for burning a lot of pounds and playing "ugly" football.
Benitez also emphasized and practiced seizing offensive opportunities and breaking through Chelsea's defensive iron curtain.
But it seems that the first thing we have to do is defend!
