At the end of the 2007 English Community Shield, Iello conquered almost all Chelsea fans with his perfect performance, but it did not make Mourinho feel easy, as he used his notebook to write down his shortcomings in this game, and if not corrected, these shortcomings will also severely restrict his development in the Premier League.

Speed, skill and skill, but not good at using his body, which is very dangerous in the Premier League, so it is easy to attract the attention of other teams' defensive giants, after all, he came to Chelsea with the world's first price, and these players will definitely want to try out the level of the world's first value Elloh.

And the way to give it a try is naturally to use a strong body to crush Iroh.

The Premier League is the most physical league in the world, so physical confrontation is essential, and the rational use of one's body to play football is also one of the points that Iello must master.

There is also Mourinho found that Ailo has developed a habit in Valencia, and is not good at helping to defend, more often than not, it is eye defense, of course, this is except for the critical time.

At Valencia, Flores was not particularly strict in his defensive positioning, so Iello sometimes helped to defend without hindering his team-mates' movements, but Mourinho's Chelsea was different, he attached great importance to the defensive positioning between the midfielders, almost to the point of meticulousness, so sometimes Iro's aggressiveness would hinder his team-mates' defence.

Another thing that must be noted is the game time, many games in the Premier League are played at noon and in the afternoon, unlike La Liga, which is played in the evening, which is also a problem for Iello to adjust his form.

Of course, the most important thing is the pace of the Premier League.

However, the rhythm of this Premier League does not refer to the simple rhythm of the game, but the ability to adjust the state of the game throughout the season, because the Premier League is the most intensive league in the world, such as Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, these giants, in addition to the Premier League, League Cup, FA Cup and the key Champions League to play throughout the season.

But this is not the most crucial, the most important thing is that the Premier League does not have a winter break, and it has to be fast-paced in the close to Christmas, with two games a week and three games a week, which is very demanding for the players.

And he also heard that the chairman of the Chinese XX Football Association, who had been permanently expelled from the national team due to contradictions, was sentenced to prison for corruption, which means that Ailo will be very likely to be selected for the new Chinese national team and participate in the second phase of the Asian qualifiers for the 2010 South Africa World Cup.

When the time comes, the demands on his physical fitness will be even more demanding.

So in the Premier League's big four, sometimes it's not the strength that determines the title, but the deep bench, but it's not so easy for a player of Elo's level to find a substitute.

In order to allow Iroh to have enough physical fitness in the coming two-game or three-game week, after the Community Shield, Iroh practiced his fitness under the leadership of Fitness Coach Faria to prepare for the new season's games.

A week is ticking, which means that the 2007-2008 English Premier League season that fans around the world are watching will begin.

The opening match of the new season was between Lisanderland and Tottenham Hotspur.

In China, no Chinese fan has ever imagined that the new season of the Premier League will be watched by guòccav-5 like today, and it is not CCTV celebrity Huang Jianxiang who is responsible for commenting this game, nor He Wei, who has been responsible for commenting La Liga for a long time, and of course, it is not exclusive to the Bundesliga.

Since these three are not, it is even more unlikely that they are Liu Jianhong, who likes to tell the truth.

In charge of commentating the opening match of the 2007-2008 Premier League season is the famous football commentator Zhan Jun of the former ESPN! The popular commentator, who has been poached from ESPN by CCTV at a high price and has been commenting on the Premier League for a long time, will be responsible for most of the Premier League game commentary this season.

In the end, Sunderland beat Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 in the much-anticipated Premier League opener.

After the opening match of the new season, it also marks the full start of the first round of the Premier League.

Three hours later, at 6 o'clock in the afternoon local time in the UK, there were five games kicking off at the same time, West Ham 0:2 Manchester City, but unfortunately Sun Hai did not enter the 18-man squad, Middlesbrough 1:2 Blackburn, Everton 2:1 Wigan Athletic, Derby County 2:2 Portsmouth, Bolton 1:3 Newcastle.

At the end of those five games, Liverpool, who have a large number of fans in China, won the decisive victory away from home team Steven Gerrard with a free-kick and defeated the home team Aston Villa 1-2.

The other three remaining big club games will kick off tomorrow afternoon.

Chinese fans will not have to wait until 8:30 p.m. the next night to watch Ello play Birmingham City at Chelsea's home stadium, and it is said that the FA's schedule for the new season is completely based on the schedule of Chinese fans, so the kick-off will be at 8:30 p.m.

According to pre-match reports, Iello has also entered Chelsea's 18-man squad, but whether he can start depends on Mourinho's on-the-spot arrangement, after all, Iroh has only played two games when he first joined Chelsea, one is the Community Shield against Manchester United, and the other is a teaching match against Tottenham, another team in London, which is not open to the public.

So Chelsea's home game against Birmingham City has become a concern for the pro-Chelsea media in London, as the Premier League is the most competitive league in the world, and it is widely believed that Iello will be able to score a hat-trick and assist in the Community Shield against Manchester United, because the games before the new season have not been taken seriously and his form is also adjusting.

Basically the media who watched Manchester United's game knew that Vidic and Hargreaves, who made frequent mistakes, were not in the best form, so ...... The first game of the new season will be the Premier League to test whether Iello is suitable for high-paced and high-confrontation.

Even if Iello has proven himself in the Champions League, if Abramovich pays 60 million pounds to buy Iello to play in the Champions League, it will seem a bit too extravagant, or that sentence, the league is fundamental.

It wasn't until the time of handing over the starting line-up two hours before the game that Mourinho made up his mind to put Arlo in the starting line-up, and now Chelsea only have three full-fledged wingers, Ello, Kalou and Malouda, Joe Cole is more of a technical midfielder, and Wright Phillips has been identified by Mourinho as a player who can leave the team as long as the price is right.

In the case of Arjen Robben's injury again, only Kalou, who has been very well with the team, can be used, so he occupies a first-choice winger position in Mourinho's mind, while the remaining position can only be chosen between Ailo and Malouda.

If in terms of strength alone, Iroh is naturally the absolute main winger, but the problem is that his value is too high, there are many players with red eyes, and the current players are generally not high, he doesn't want Iroh to be injured at the beginning of the season.

But then again, there are no flowers in the greenhouse, and it is impossible to protect them forever, and I believe that Iroh has found enough confidence in the first Community Shield match against Manchester United, and the ordinary Premier League should not affect him.

When Iroh learned that he had been placed in the starting list of 11 men, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Before the game, the British media interviewed Birmingham's new owner Yang Jiacheng and asked his team what would happen against Chelsea, where China's number one star is located.

'I know all of you are focused on Chelsea and not on us in Birmingham, but I'm confident that my team can win this game, even away from home, and I have a lot of confidence in them, right... I'm going to reward my team, £200,000 for a draw away from Chelsea and £500,000 for a win! ”

Yeung Ka Shing responds to media interviews at the Birmingham training base.

Suddenly, the scene was in an uproar.

For a team with an average weekly salary of less than £10,000, this is a lot of money, and if they win, it means they can get an extra two or three weeks' salary on average.

Birmingham City midfielder Nafti arrived on the edge of Stamford Bridge with the team's bus and asked a tricky question: "Everyone thinks we can't beat Chelsea away from home, but we don't think so, our overall quality is not worse than Chelsea, please don't compare the value of one person to our whole team, that's unrealistic, because one person can never beat a team, we will prove ourselves in this afternoon's game!" Sometimes courage and fighting spirit are an indispensable part of the game......"

Football is a war without gunpowder, and Nafti's words seem ordinary, but in fact, they are hidden knives.

Unlike Birmingham's rhetoric, Mourinho is very low-key this time.

Mourinho's low profile also surprised the media, because they had the impression that Mourinho would never give in to lip service, so should he be caught off guard by Birmingham?

In fact, it's not, but recently his mind has been on whether to sell Robben, and now he has a little friction with CEO Kenyon, according to Mourinho's intention to keep Robben and enhance the virtuous circle of the side, Kenyon believes that Real Madrid is now willing to spend 25 million pounds to buy Robben, which is undoubtedly an unjust behavior, and it is not sold for nothing.

Robben's glass physique has been difficult to stand in the fierce Premier League, plus it was only 12 million pounds when he bought it, and now three years have passed, and the championship has won the player's appreciation, when will it not be sold at this time?

Before you know it, the first round of Chelsea's 2007-2008 Premier League season is about to begin.

Chelsea are unbeaten in the last 13 meetings between the two sides, 9 wins and 4 draws, Birmingham's last win against the Blues was in the second division in March 1980, Birmingham won 5-1, but the two sides have met 8 times in the Premier League, Chelsea are unbeaten with 4 wins and 4 draws, and this is also the 88th meeting between the two sides, Chelsea have the upper hand with 39 wins, 24 draws and 24 defeats.
