Chapter 6: The Opening Phase

With the referee's whistle, the match that captivated all England fans finally began. In this game, Ferguson fielded a 4-4-2 starting formation. At the back, apart from Gary Neville, Silvestre and Heinze, Rio Ferdinand has finally returned to the starting line-up after a lengthy suspension. In the midfield, Ferguson still continued the configuration of last season's Champions League final, that is, Keane, Scholes, Ryan Giggs and Ronaldo's four diamond-shaped positions. The difference between the Champions League final and the Champions League final on the forward line is that this time there is one more white-haired player by Vanney's side, and that is Alan Smith.

After the start of the game, Lao Lei felt very good. Perhaps because the seats of the fans in the Premier League stadium were closer to the stadium, he felt the kind of fiery atmosphere that he had not experienced before. The passionate cheers of the fans erupted in his ears, and the deafening feeling of dizziness made him intoxicated. Lao Lei began to really slowly experience the atmosphere of Premier League football, which is different from other places, with blood and passion.

After the opening, it was Chelsea's possession first. With the ball in hand, Chelsea immediately began to show a completely different side from the previous Chelsea. Under the organization and guidance of Lao Lei, Chelsea controlled the football at their feet, and the clear and smooth transmission of the ball was constantly staged. The change immediately caught the attention of Chelsea fans and commentators, as it was the first game of the season. The tactical style of play in this game, if nothing else, will be the mainstream, fixed style of play for Chelsea throughout the season.

Chelsea fans are still in a wait-and-see state at this time. Only when this tactic really bears fruit can they fully support and embrace it. It's too early to say anything. The commentators also began to discuss Chelsea's new tactics. Because playing possession in the Premier League is a very rare thing. I'm used to watching fast-paced games, and I suddenly saw this kind of slow and methodical ball control play. Everyone's eyes will inevitably light up. 'Ali, what do you think of Chelsea's new tactics? Although the competition has only just begun, we can already see some signs of it. Jose Mourinho unsurprisingly brought the system he relied on to make a name for himself at Porto to Chelsea, what do you think of the prospects for this tactical system in the Premier League? “

"It's too early to say that, Gary. However, Mourinho's tactical system, since it was able to shine in the Champions League last season, naturally has its characteristics. But does this tactic really work for Chelsea right now? You know, they've been practicing together for less than a month. But now the key to this qiē lies with Chelsea's No. 13 Remaier. As the best player of the year so far, will he be able to dominate the Chelsea squad in such circumstances? You must know that Ferguson's team has never lacked strong impact. We'll see. Let's see if the transfer bid can show his best? “

The run-in problem may be a question for the outside world, but for Lao Lei on the field, this is not a problem. Because of the role of the commander's aura, Lao Lei actually has a good tacit understanding with these new Chelsea teammates. Although they are not at their peak yet, Manchester United's form is unlikely to be at their best in the first game of the season, which is enough. Moreover, in such a situation, playing this tactic is the most suitable for Lao Lei. Self-centeredness. Regulate the whole team, with Lao Lei's ability, he can try to bring out all the strength of this team. Fight with Manchester United as a whole, for this team. It's still early. After all, there is no way for Lao Lei to increase the tacit understanding between other Chelsea players.

After seeing Chelsea play possession, Ferguson immediately waved his hand on the sidelines. Started to let Manchester United's frontcourt players press heavily to rimulate Chelsea's ball-handlers at the back. this game. Lao Lei was not able to directly face Keane's defense, and he was still puzzled. How will Ferguson deal with himself. And soon, he knew that it was this white-haired Smith.

In the fifth minute of the first half, after receiving the ball from Cech's hand, Smith immediately accelerated to pounce. This time, the clash between Lao Ray and Smith drew the first exclamation and the first boos of the game at Stamford Bridge. Lao Lei first skillfully stopped the football volley with his right foot to his left foot, and then his left foot immediately followed up coherently, and flicked the football to his right back. This simple and smooth stopping of the ball coupled with the passing action suddenly made Lao Lei completely let Smith's ferocious robbery. However, when he was about to fully accelerate, Smith crashed directly into Lao Lei fiercely. In the face of this fierce impact, Lao Lei was suddenly unprepared and was knocked down directly from the side by Smith.

It was undoubtedly a ferocious physical contact, and the referee blew his whistle, but there was no more cards, not even a verbal warning. The Premier League's lax enforcement standards in terms of physical contact are what Lao Lei has heard. But after all, everything is only more profound after experiencing it yourself. This is like Lao Lei now, from the law enforcement standards of the Portuguese Super League to the law enforcement standards of the Premier League, even if Lao Lei knew the most before, it will take a process of adaptation.

Although the Chelsea fans shouted shrill boos at Alan Smith. However, Lao Lei himself seemed very calm, and he had long been mentally prepared for such a situation. And compared to dissatisfaction, he is now more comfortable in his heart. I have to say that Lao Lei was not a humble gentleman in the first place, for him who loved wrestling in his previous life, such an environment made him more adaptable and liking. "Oh, we saw Remaia very calm after being fouled by Alain. It seems that he is mentally prepared for this, which is good because it allows him to settle into the game more quickly. Wow, what's going on? I had imagined such a scene, but I didn't expect to come back so quickly! That's what we want to see!! Ali Hansen said in a tone that was not too big to see the excitement.

"Hey, boy. I heard that you are worth 80 million, so have you bought insurance for your legs? "White hair, in the eyes of Lao Lei. Alan Smith, who looked like a bad guy, had a threatening tone towards Lao Ray, who had just gotten up. Babbling. Look at Smith with a threatening look on his face if you dare to take the ball again, I'll break your leg. Lao Lei was a little helpless, and said in his heart: "Do I look like a rookie who is easy to bully?" “

After this kind of opening, first use fouls to calm your defensive small means, Lao Lei doesn't know how many he has encountered, he has long been used to it, and he doesn't care at all. And with the growth of fame and strength, Lao Lei has not been treated like this for a long time. Being made by Alan Smith like this, Lao Lei felt a little speechless, and at the same time, a sense of freshness rose in his heart. And it is precisely because of this freshness. is the biggest motivation for Lao Lei to leave the Portuguese Super League, and the game without freshness is really boring.

At this time, Lao Ray was interested and played with Alan Smith. Seeing Lao Lei's disdainful eyes and expression, he was already known as a "bad boy", and the hot-tempered Alan Smith chattered at Lao Lei even more relentlessly. Glancing at Smith, Ray turned around and turned his back to the referee. Directed his middle finger at Alan Smith. Then he smiled disdainfully, turned around and left.

Smith, who was given a middle finger, immediately wanted to rush to Lao Lei even more reluctantly. But at this time, the situation of the two of them. It has long attracted the attention of the referee. When Old Ray slapped Alan Smith's fingers poking at his chest, he immediately blew a quick whistle and ran to the middle of the gap between the two. This time. As the current captain, Terry naturally did not sit idly by and watch the opponent find trouble with his new team-mate, and he immediately rushed to find Alan Smith. And that's like a fuse. Within a few moments, Keane, Lampard and the rest of the group were all in droves.

Time. The field immediately became chaotic, and the smell of gunpowder, which was already not small, suddenly became stronger! "Oh, look at this middle finger. Although Remaier's stoppage was very exciting, it was still this action that could ignite our adrenaline. Looking at his nonchalan expression, we can announce that the Premier League has welcomed another bad guy! Vieira, Keane and the newcomer Remaier, the confrontation between the three current world's top midfielders in the future Premier League, really makes me look forward to it! “

After a verbal warning, the turmoil on the field passed. But looking at Alan Smith's fierce eyes, Old Ray knew that this matter was not over. But it's not over, it's not over, there is still almost a whole game, and Lao Lei has time to wrestle with Alan Smith. With Keane in the backcourt, Alan Smith is also an interesting opponent for Ray.

After the game resumed, Lao Lei began to try to push the football forward and organize an offensive. After a kick-and-wall combination with Makelele, Lao Lei flashed past Scholes and began to rush forward directly in the middle with the ball, and then immediately ushered in his old rival Cristiano Ronaldo. Facing him, Lao Lei and Robben played a reverse two-on-two. When Lao Ray received the football knocked back by Robben, he directly kicked a precise pass, past the top of Gary Neville, so that Robben began to show his speed perfectly in the Premier League for the first time.

Chelsea fans immediately began to cheer after an exclamation of "hmm", and Robben's unstoppable speed made their blood immediately pump. After turning around, Gary Neville was immediately distanced by Robben, looking at Robben's speeding back, the meritorious veteran of the class of 92 felt powerless. After forcibly overtaking, Robben immediately accelerated down after receiving a pass from Lao Lei. Then before Gary Neville could get back into place, Robben advanced a little distance along the baseline and sent a low pass directly to Drogba in the box.

At this time, Drogba also showed his invincible body in front of Chelsea fans for the first time. Manchester United's defensive backbone, Rio Ferdinand, the world's most valuable man, has no way to deal with him behind Drogba. Drogba's strong body made Ferdinand helpless all of a sudden. Drogba stopped the ball in front of Arjen Robben's pass and brought the ball in front of Frank Lampard. As soon as Keane was squeezed away, Lampard was immediately a violent long-range shot. Although the shot did not score, it went just wide of the post. But Chelsea's concise, fast and effective attack after three passes and two feet this time has already lifted Ferguson's spirits on the sidelines.

What he didn't know, however, was that the more scary aspect of Chelsea was not the attack.

Jose Mourinho's meticulously crafted Chelsea defence is beginning to show the world how terrible it is. (To be continued......)
