Chapter 199: Finally Welcoming the Comeback
With a crisp whistle from the referee, Chelsea's home game against West Brom in the third round of the 05-06 Premier League season came to an end. 4-0, a hearty scoreline, Chelsea scored a beautiful big win at home. West Brom, who were playing away, had lost their will to resist before half-time, with goals from John Terry, Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba giving them a sense of the huge gap between them and Chelsea, and that sense of powerlessness wiped out their fighting spirit.
And that brought Chelsea's big win at home. In the end, if Mourinho hadn't saved some face for West Brom, Chelsea wouldn't have been the only one Arjen Robben to score in the second half. Truth be told, though, a 4-0 scoreline is enough for Chelsea and there's no need to chase too much on goals. Four goals, four times between the old ray and the whole Chelsea team, it was already a complete and perfect game for Chelsea.
With this 4-0 victory, the media reluctantly made a 180-degree turn to Chelsea after the game. "Triple crown champion reinvigorates the champion phase!" 'My name will always be below Chelsea!' Remayr's moving oath! ”…… Reports similar to this have completely buried the news that was unfavorable to Chelsea in the past few days, and the small crisis that Chelsea encountered has also come to an end.
In this regard, while lamenting the dog-faced nature of the media, Lao Lei was also greatly relieved in his heart. * While he doesn't know how much his previous actions have benefited Chelsea, "it's better to do than not to do." He thought to himself.
After solving this little trouble. Old Lei once again focused all his attention on recovering his injuries. Two consecutive injuries to his right foot have brought him a far worse danger than he imagined. The expected time and situation of recovery were not as optimistic as he had imagined. Fortunately, the problem is not too strict. It just takes more time and more care to recuperate, and if the treatment is carried out on the premise of complete recovery.
While Lao Lei was working hard to heal his injury, the Premier League continued to be in full swing. After West Brom's game, Chelsea won 2-0 at home against Tottenham Hotspur and Black Cat Sunderland respectively, completing a perfect record of five consecutive wins in a row. The strong and steady performance of 15 points from all five wins, scoring eight goals without conceding a goal, has freed Chelsea from the unfavorable public opinion environment at the beginning of the season. Once again, he became the biggest favorite to win the league title this season.
However, as Sao Rai predicted in the off-season, this season's Premier League title is destined to be more intense and unpredictable than last season's. Because in addition to Chelsea, its main title rivals Arsenal and Manchester United are equally strong. Among them, Manchester United also maintained their unbeaten record since the new season with 4 wins and 1 draw, while Arsenal also won 5 consecutive victories, only to be below Chelsea due to the disadvantage of goal difference.
The equally strong performance of these two teams has comforted the unhappy Chelsea media and fans. Whether it's for the benefit of the Premier League or their own interests, there are many who don't want to see Chelsea repeat last season's strong form this season. At the same time praising Chelsea in a mixed heart. They have a strong hope that these two teams can step up and give the Chelsea upstart a hard slap in the face.
But while rejoicing in the performance of Arsenal and Manchester United, there is one team that has disappointed them greatly, even in anger. This team is the century-old Red Army of the Premier League, Liverpool, under the guidance of Benitez, Liverpool has an incredible record of 1 win and 4 draws in the first five rounds of the season. Although they are also undefeated. But that's a far cry from what Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United are looking for.
Liverpool's poor performance of scoring only 3 goals in 5 games is the main reason for such a poor result. Such a terrible offensive end table xiàn. Let the KOPs once again express their nostalgia for their former darling, the wind-chasing boy Owen. In such a situation. Benitez, who single-handedly led the sale of Owen, was once again criticized by most Liverpool fans and celebrities. Suffice it to say, now Benitez's Liverpool manager's throne has begun to catch fire. If it weren't for the fact that last season's Champions League was a pretty good watch. The Spanish fat man may have been looking for another job for a long time.
So in general, Liverpool's current situation can be said to be internal and external, worse than Chelsea some time ago. If it weren't for Chelsea's ability to attract firepower, Liverpool's public opinion environment would have become very bad a long time ago. However, everything can always escape the monk, not the temple, after Chelsea's cousin returned to the right track, Liverpool's target finally received strong fire from the media and the public.
At this time, even the senior management of Liverpool FC and some celebrities publicly spoke and pleaded for Benitez to no avail, and some media and newspapers have even begun to count down for the Spaniard's dismissal. At the same time, the name Rafael Benitez began to appear on the list of the first managers to be fired in the Premier League by major bookmakers, and showed strong upside potential.
Although these news have nothing to do with Lao Lei, this has become Lao Lei's daily happy nourishment. Nothing could make him happier than to wake up tomorrow and see the news that his sworn enemy was in a bad situation. This kind of pleasure of not needing to take action himself, as long as he is appreciating the dilemma of his mortal enemy, makes Lao Lei unable to describe it in words. Whenever this time came, he could only shout "cool" three times in his heart to vent such pleasure.
After the first five rounds of the season, the time also came to the middle of September before you knew it, and Lao Lei, who had been recuperating, also ushered in good news, Chelsea's team doctor finally let him go, allowing him to return to the team for training and games. For Lao Lei, who feels that he is already rusty and has itchy spots on his body, there is no better news that can make him more happy.
Since the Champions League final, it can be said that he has been in the healing and recovery phases. For such a period of time, it was Lao Lei who started playing professional football. The longest time away from football and the pitch. When he had been playing games before, Lao Lei had not yet felt this feeling of leaving football. Although I expected that it could be very difficult. But he never thought that he could be sad about this kind of journey. Therefore, people are stupid animals that they don't know to cherish until they are lost. Lao Lei couldn't understand and agree with it now. "Shit football! I love you to death!! These are the words that Lao Lei couldn't help shouting out when he left the team doctor's office with the team doctor's certificate.
"Remaia is back from injury!" "Godzilla is coming back! The best of Chelsea is coming back! ”…… As the hottest player in today's football and the top name of the Premier League, the news of Lao Lei's return to the training ground is destined to be hidden for long. Before Chelsea's official explanation for this, major media and newspapers had already put the news on their headlines, and photos of Lao Lei training with Chelsea's first team were also impressive.
Soon after, the news that Lao Lei appeared in the first round of Chelsea's Champions League group stage at home against Belgian team Anderlecht to declare the squad also confirmed that he was really fully recovered from injury and wanted to make a comeback. Chelsea fans couldn't be happier with the news. While Chelsea's performance in the first five rounds of the Premier League remains solid and strong, Chelsea fans cheer the victory at the same time. It always felt like something was missing. Especially when the team is about to start the Champions League journey again, this feeling of lack of something is getting stronger and stronger.
So, they desperately hope that Lao Lei can come back and fill the emptiness in their hearts. And when hope does come true, outsiders can't understand their excitement. Of course, those who are happy and cheering for Lao Lei's efforts will naturally have curses and resentment. It's impossible to tell which of them are the most unhappy, but Anderlecht must be the most excited about it.
It turned out that even against Chelsea, who did not have old thunder. They are already feeling powerless, let alone facing the strongest Chelsea who once again have the old Ray. The Belgian feels a pang of emotion at the thought of Chelsea's strong form of treble-winning last season. According to the grapevine, on the morning when the news of Lao Lei's return from injury was exposed. There was even a crisp and loud sound of bottle slamming from the Anderlecht manager's office. Although this news is not necessarily true, it can at least prove how unoptimistic and gloating the outside world is about Anderlecht's prospects in this game.
However. I don't know if it was the public opinion that was too one-sided from the outside world that angered the Anderlechts, anyway, when the whole Anderlecht team walked on London soil. Their voices are tough and unyielding. Among them, the statement of the head coach of Anderlecht in an interview is particularly representative. 'We know Chelsea are a great team and their treble finish last season is something to be feared,' he said. But football is not a game where the strong side is guaranteed to win, no team is going to lose, and the same is true for us. For the sake of the dignity of Belgian football, we will definitely put our best foot forward and stop Chelsea away from home. Victory? That's what we're always after. At the very least, we're going to make Chelsea feel less good on the pitch. ”
Coach Anderlecht's words were well-founded and tough. It's a pity that his statement was not favored by the outside world, and people only thought it was his speech to save face. At this time, the focus of attention is no longer on how Chelsea will win, but how Lao Lei will make his comeback debut.
Although Mourinho has publicly stated in advance that he will only let Lao Lei play for dozens of minutes and let him find his form, I hope the outside world will not have too much pressure and expectations on him. But Mourinho's speech to relieve pressure on Lao Lei was not listened to at all, as last year's double footballer and this year's double footballer Mr. The biggest favorite candidate, Lao Lei can enjoy no relaxed, low-pressure environment in the convenient treatment.
This is the pressure that all football superstars must bear, and their performance must be consistently excellent, otherwise it will attract a lot of criticism and questioning, even if it is just a comeback like Lao Lei. It may sound unsympathetic, but it's a burden you have to take on before you want to enjoy the scenery.
However, fortunately, Lao Lei did not feel any pressure on this. At this time, there was only boundless and irrepressible excitement in his heart.

"Come on! Come on!! Come on!!! ”
