Speaking of Kubishli, maybe not an old Premier League fan will not know, but this guy is an old fritter of the Premier League, since he joined Charlton in 1991, he has been in Charlton for 14 years, although he also left the Valley Stadium in Xiao Yu's previous life, but until now, he has no idea about this. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xiao Yu didn't have much impression of this old Premier League fritter in his previous life, but now, Alain? Kubishli, the name will be etched in his mind.

This round is known as the dark week of the leaders, not only the top three teams in the Premier League have all suffered draws, but also Barcelona and Real Madrid in La Liga, Juventus and AC Milan in Serie A have also suffered draws from their opponents, and Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga has also lost.

Ahead of the away challenge to Charlton, the Red Rebels received two good news, Liverpool were held to a draw at home to Birmingham, who were sent off in the 28th minute and Steven Gerrard also scored for Liverpool, but Alonso's late own goal helped Birmingham draw with Liverpool.

Chelsea were held to a close draw at Aston Villa and the two teams were in a tight battle and Chelsea were the first to score, but Aston Villa equalised at the start of the second half and could no longer organise an effective shot on target.

These two pieces of news have excited the Red Rebels, and according to the current situation in the standings, as long as the Red Rebels beat Charlton Athletic, who are 13th in the league, they can directly reverse Chelsea to the top, and at the same time throw off the points gap with Liverpool.

The Red Rebels were very excited, and Mourinho gave a must-kill order for this game in advance.

Well, I have to admit that the arrogant army will lose, but the Red Rebels are neatly staffed, except for Drogba and Essien who are absent because of their participation in the Africa Cup of Nations, the other players have started the game, among which Villa's strength is not inferior to Drogba, and De Rossi can completely replace the role of Essien.

You know, the Red Rebels slaughtered Charlton Athletic 6-1 at home, and although the Valley Stadium is a famous tough game in the Premier League in the past two seasons, Mourinho still has full confidence that he can win the game.

However, even if the Red rebels did their best to enter the field, they still could not break through the iron bucket formation set up by Kubishli for Charlton.

The 0:0 score was so shocking that Mourinho was so angry that he scolded on the spot.

Charlton Athletic has always been thrifty and has brought in a number of players this season, but most of them have been on loan and free transfer, and the most successful of these players are Smerkin from Chelsea and Darren from Ipswich Town for £2.5 million. Bent.

That's right, the fastest double 20 striker in FM!

Charlton's tactics this season are based on defense, attacking with Bent's speed and counter-attacking, Smerkin is excellent in defence, and Bent is very effective in attack, which makes Charlton's counter-attacking tactics can be called a unique landscape in the Premier League.

However, in this game, Kubishli completely gave up on the counterattack, Bent retreated to the midfield, his main task was to harass the Red Rebels' Beckham and De Rossi, while Charlton organized a defensive line of five players in the area between the back line and central midfield, plus four defenders in the back.

'I have to admit that Mr Kubishli started a record 10 back starts and drew at home and I was frustrated by that, but that's football, who made them bring in as many as seven defenders in one go in the summer?'

Jose Mourinho was helpless in his post-match press conference, what could he say?

Does he want to compliment Kubishli's iron bucket formation for its success? Or to attack Kubishli's conservatism?

No, none of that matters, but most importantly, Mourinho is well aware that he has missed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reach the top, and if the Red Rebels can reach the top of the league table, the situation may be completely different.

But who would have thought that Charlton would be so tenacious.

Sitting at the Valley Stadium, Charlton only had a pitiful 3 shots on goal and none on target, while the Red Rebels had 16 shots on goal and 5 on target.

Please, there are people everywhere, and you can't shoot it right!

Compared with Mourinho's depression, Kubishli is very happy, yes, with this game, his team has successfully reached a higher level, currently ranked 11th in the league, his coached Charlton record has risen steadily, he himself has become a daughter-in-law, Taoguang has been in obscurity for 14 years, he ushered in his second spring.

This makes the 48-year-old but already gray-haired Kubishli's face smile like a blooming chrysanthemum, and Mourinho is as angry as if he has just been blown up.

But that's not the most frustrating, as Manchester City, who started at the same time as the Red Rebels, beat Newcastle 3-0 at home, and Louis van Gaal's side once again showed a surprising form in this match-up.

Manchester United's away challenge to Blackburn Rovers kicked off 15 minutes later than the Red Rebels, and as a result, Blackburn led at home three times, Manchester United stubbornly pulled back the score three times, and then the game entered a stalemate, but with the news that the Red Rebels also drawn, it seemed to inject incomparable courage and fighting spirit into Manchester United, Vanney's crazy volley at the last moment, Incredibly scored the winning goal for Manchester United, 3:4, Manchester United narrowly won!

As a result, after 24 rounds of Premier League games, Chelsea are still at the top of the table with 59 points, followed by the Red Rebels with 58 points, Liverpool with 57 points, Manchester City and Manchester United with 56 and 54 points respectively.

Arsenal, who were ranked higher, lost 2:3 at home to West Ham United, while De Roysden drew 1:1 at home to Everton, and the two teams gradually widened the gap between them and the champions.

Judging from the current situation, there are 14 rounds left in the Premier League, Chelsea, Red Rebels, Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United all have a chance to win the title, and the gap between the top and fifth is only 5 points, which can be rewritten at any time, especially Manchester United currently only have the league to play, they just lost to Wolves in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

After the 24th round, almost all the world's football experts had to shout, the Premier League season is so exciting, no one thought that the round that should have completely broken out after rest and adjustment has completely become a funeral song for the leaders.

However, they also agreed that although the opponents in the first three rounds of the league all adopted conservative tactics, from another point of view, the strength of the Premier League team is still quite strong, at least even Birmingham in the relegation zone can draw Liverpool away, Charlton Athletic and Aston Villa in the middle of the table can draw the Red Rebels and Chelsea who aim to win the championship, and it is impossible without a little strength.

Meanwhile, everyone is looking forward to the 25th round in three days' time, as there will be a highlight of Chelsea's hosting Liverpool.

…………………… Jose Mourinho was annoyed by his team's defeat in the 24th round, but he analysed the results and losses of the game with the coaching staff, and everyone realised that Charlton's tactics were similar to those of Werder Bremen, with them setting up zone defences in midfield to limit the Red Rebels' attacks.

The difference is that Charlton is more thorough and resolute than Werder Bremen.

The whole world has a headache against the bucket formation, including the Red Rebels, but Mourinho has to start thinking about how to deal with this tactic, especially the opponent's regional defense in midfield.

At the same time, Mourinho is well aware that Chelsea against Liverpool is another chance for the Red Rebels, who must win at home to Blackburn Rovers in order to put pressure on Chelsea and Liverpool.

Mourinho told his players in training that he had decided to punish them for the draw against Charlton Athletic, but now the penalty has been postponed and the penalty will be reduced if the team can win at home to Blackburn.

This immediately excites the players, as everyone knows that Mourinho's devilish training can be very unbearable.

Once again, the Red Rebels played with their main force, and this time the Red Rebels won cleanly 3-0 at home to Blackburn.

Kaka broke the deadlock for the Red Rebels just five minutes after the opening kick, and then the Red Rebels continued to control the situation on the field, and in the 33rd minute, a kick from the edge of the box broke through the door of Blackburn Rovers again.

In the second half, after the two sides changed sides and fought again, the Red Rebels continued to put pressure on Blackburn, Blackburn was adjusted, based on defense, and effectively curbed the Red Rebels' offensive, the situation has been stuck until stoppage time, Kaka forced a breakthrough in the middle, using his personal ability to make a low cross to the right side of the penalty area at the front of the penalty area, and Messi, who substituted Robben, performed well and scored a single knife.

The Red Rebels beat Blackburn Rovers 3-0 and Arsenal beat Birmingham City 0-2, but Droysden drew 1-1 at Bolton Wanderers to once again overtake Arsenal in the table, while Manchester City won 0-1 away at Everton.

In the evening, Manchester United were at home and beat visiting Fulham 4-2 thanks to a brace from Robinho and goals from Diego and Wayne Rooney, but Ferguson praised Quaresma after the game, believing that the Portuguese had gone through a period of adaptation, integrated into the team, and scored three direct assists and one indirect assist in the game, which was his best game since joining the club.

With rivals winning back-to-back, all eyes were on the highlight of round 25, Chelsea's pivotal clash with Liverpool.

Mourinho and Ferguson coincidentally chose to speak in the media before the game, one of them believes that Chelsea's strength is more stable, especially the arrival of Ballack, which completely liberated Deco, the Portuguese star has completely integrated into the Premier League and has become an indispensable member of the Chelsea team, and Ancelotti has successfully transformed Deco like Pirlo.

However, Ferguson felt that Liverpool's winter signings were more successful, with Kuyt's arrival strengthening Liverpool's wide range and freeing up Gerrard, Bellamy's performance in the forward line, and the signing of Raddaniel at the end of the winter break? Agg, which has made Liverpool's strength steadily improved.

It was a game in which both sides showed strong victories**, with Carlo Ancelotti at home, adopting Chelsea's most customary Christmas tree tactics of the season, and the starting line-up was also a regular Chelsea team.

Goalkeeper Hieldebrand, and the backline from left to right are Ashley? Cole, Stam and Carvalho, Ferreira; The back three are Ballack, Deco and Emerson, and the two forward midfielders are Joe? Kerr and Frank Lampard, the single striker is Shevchenko, and it can be said that this is the strongest lineup that Ancelotti can arrange in this game.

For Chelsea's lineup, Benitez made a certain adjustment to the starting lineup, removing Cisse, who has been underperforming, and using Aimar as a striker, and the two wings are Luiz? Garcia and Kuyt, Gerrard playing in the midfield position, Xavi behind him? Alonso and Sissoko, at the back are Reese, Hyypia, Carragher and Finnen, and goalkeeper is Reina.

Daniel who was introduced before? Ager was not deployed in the main position, but was deployed on the bench with Bellamy, with Kuyt being deployed as the main right winger and Steven Gerrard being transferred to play in central midfield.

Judging from the process of the game, Benitez consciously used Gerrard to limit Deco, while the Liverpool captain has a strong impact and long-range scoring ability, using him to impact Chelsea's back line and even the backline, while Aimar is a striker, but in fact, he is retreating almost every attack.

So judging from the scene, Benitez arranged a no-striker tactic this time, but once Aimar and Gerrard got the ball in front, Kuyt and Luiz? Garcia was very active on both flanks and was very prominent, cutting inside the box at any time to become a striker, while Gerrard's insertion in the back row was a fatal point for Chelsea.

In the 35th minute, Kuyt couldn't get a chance in the penalty area, knocked back to Aimar, who flicked horizontally, Gerrard pulled out his foot and shot angrily, Hildebrand made a save, but the whip was out of reach, 0:1!

Falling behind made Chelsea press hard, especially in the second half, Chelsea played more aggressively, even anxiously, but Benitez frequently signaled Alonso to steady, and then in the 68th minute, Liverpool broke the ball down the middle and handed it to Gerrard, who passed to Aimar under the interference of Emerson.

When the Argentine star faced Stam's up-and-forth, he turned around and passed Stam, and the beautiful passing action caused enthusiastic cheers from the Reds fans on the scene, and then passed to the right side, Kuyt rushed to the horse and stabbed the goal, 0:2!

The goal also ignited the emotions of the Chelsea players, and in the 83rd minute, Stam was sent off with a red card for a suspected elbow injury during a clearance, which Chelsea questioned and appealed.

But none of this can change the fact that Chelsea lost 2-0 at home to Liverpool!

And after watching this game, Mourinho and others in Xiao Yu's office were almost silent.

"He is truly an admirable master tactician!"
