Chapter 31: The East-West London Derby is coming!

'The difference in quality between the two sides was so great that it was like an exhibition match for Chelsea. Although Paris Saint-Germain are on their home turf, they have no ability to resist in front of Chelsea and Remaier. After the absence of Ronaldinho, the traditional giants of Ligue 1 are still in the throes. Look at the atmosphere in the stands at the Parc des Princes stadium right now, it's like a fan meeting between Chelsea and Remaier. This new Premier League powerhouse has shown us how competitive they are. A commentator commented.

At this time, the game time has come to the 21st minute of the first half, although the score is still 1:0, but the huge gap on the field makes everyone unable to see any chance for Paris Saint-Germain to turn the tables. If it weren't for Chelsea's attacking line in the front, if several good opportunities were not grasped, the score would have been 2:0 or even 3:0. Thanks to the presence of Gudjohnson and Joe Cole up front, Ray played a flashy possession of the ball during his time in Porto. Skillful ball control, as well as delicate coordination in a small area, played Paris Saint-Germain to death.

In the 29th minute of the first half, Chelsea had another great chance. In the face of Paris Saint-Germain's three-man interception system, Lao Lei, Lampard and Joe Cole played a continuous and delicate passing and cutting combination, and they broke through their defence. When Lao Lei slammed the ball back to the feet of Joe Cole, who was inserted forward, PSG's back line was once again exposed in front of Chelsea's attacking line.

As one of the few midfielders in English football with a good ability to break through with the ball, Joe Cole has always been a talent in the attention of the English media. Although for almost two years. There have been criticisms that he is just a "vase", but the expectations of English football are no less. After such a period of teammate relationship, Lao Lei also found that Joe Cole does have such strength, at least in the country of England. For the England national team, which has been criticized for its rough style of play, Joe Cole is a good addition in terms of technical ability in midfield.

At this time, facing another defender of Paris Saint-Germain, in the high-speed dribble, Joe Cole took out his best bicycle feint to change direction. In the process of pedaling a bicycle. A course twice in a row and a change of center of gravity. Let Joe Cole shake off his defender's Cana and dribble directly to the front of the Paris Saint-Germain penalty area. At this point, Joe Cole passed the ball to Goodjohnson and then continued to cut forward himself. I want to play a two-on-one cooperation with him.

But. This cooperation was not successful. Armand reached out in time to block. Instead of being able to get the ball to follow the line Gudjohnson had planned, it bounced back diagonally. At this moment, the football just bounced behind Lao Lei, who was inserted in front, and caught him off guard. If Lao Lei forcibly brakes sharply and turns around to stop the ball, it will make Paris Saint-Germain's defense rearrange and miss this good opportunity.

So, in an instant, Lao Lei decided to take advantage of the trend. He put his right foot on the ground and braked directly, while at the same time, he leaned forward and lifted his left foot back, slamming his heel into the ball that was still in the air. In the process of leaning forward, Lao Lei tensed his muscles all over his body and controlled his posture. Then, the back heel of his left foot hit the ball accurately, and the ball was passed back into the penalty area, and came to Joe Cole, who had stopped cutting, and by this time Joe Cole was already unguarded. After receiving a back-heel pass from Lao Lei, Joe Cole fired a powerful shot from a tight angle and once again broke through the door of Paris Saint-Germain.

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!! 2:0! Imagination! Genius imagination!! It's hard to believe how Remaia managed to complete such a perfect strain in such a short period of time. In this regard, the entire Paris Saint-Germain defense line did not react. That's the difference between a top star and a normal player, and Remaier is undoubtedly that kind of player. Not only do they dare to think, but they dare to do it, and most importantly, they are able to do it. It's really pleasing football! ”

After the assist from the old Ray, the Paris Saint-Germain fans at the Parc des Princes have already begun to turn against them. After an exclamation of enjoyment, they began to give Lao Lei a loud applause. For them, it was very frustrating not to see the team win. But being able to watch a good football game and individual performances is the best compensation for them. In fact, this is not to blame Paris Saint-Germain fans for being fickle, after all, they are still used to the days without Ronaldinho, and after not eating big fish and meat for a long time, they occasionally come to such a meal, which naturally makes them nostalgic. It can't be helped, who let Ronaldinho keep their tastes in their mouths.

Amid the incessant exclamations and cheers of the Paris Saint-Germain fans, the score of 2:0 was maintained until the end of halftime. It was a game that lacked gunpowder, and the irreparable gap in the quality of the two teams made it impossible for the PSG players to be able to lift the spirit of fighting to the death after falling behind by two goals, and it was a very friendly game overall. So when the players of the two teams left the field, there were also players from Paris Saint-Germain who took the initiative to come to Lao Lei to change their jerseys.

Due to this situation, Mourinho did not arrange any tactical changes at halftime, but only reminded Lao Lei and several other players in advance, and informed them in advance that they would be replaced in the second half. Although this is absolute, it will be a little disappointing for fans, after all, it will greatly reduce the spectacle of the game. However, Mourinho did not have the habit of making players pay more meaningless for the sake of watching the game.

At the beginning of the second half, it was basically a continuation of the situation of the first half, and the game was played to this point, and both sides let go of the big fight against the attack. In addition to the victory or defeat of the game, the high-tempo offensive and defensive transitions on the field and the wonderful scenes that often appear are all to keep this game in a very exciting way, which also makes this game have good ratings. In the 66th minute of the second half, Chelsea doubled their lead again.

This time. It was again Lao Lei's beautiful direct assist, piercing the entire Paris Saint-Germain defense. Near the center circle after crossing the center line, Lao Lei directly showed off his long-distance direct plug from Rui Costa after breaking the ball. After passing through the three Paris Saint-Germain players at a very high level, the football came directly to the feet of Drogba. Near the penalty line, with his physical advantage, Drogba led with his left foot, and then directly turned around strongly, followed by a powerful shot into the goal, after the football hit Pierre's body and changed the line. Knocking open the door to Legic again.

"Another world-class assist. There is a successor to the stunt of the Portuguese master. With Remaia here, the Portuguese will not need to worry about his place at the heart of midfield within a decade. God really favored the Portuguese, since the golden generation of Figo and others. Immediately, there was a super platinum generation led by Remaia and Ronaldo. Judging by the momentum of Remayr right now. I don't think anyone can upset at the end of the year. Beat Remaia to win the European European Ballon d'Or. Even the nuclear warheads of AC Milan, Shepchenko. In the outgoing year. No one dared to pat himself on the chest and say that he was better than Remaya. ”

Just when the commentator couldn't wait to put on the European Footballer of the Year hat for the elder Ray, he was already successful and was replaced by Jose Mourinho with Thiago, along with Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard. After the departure of these three people, Chelsea's attacking power cannot be said to have been greatly reduced, but at least it has lost its previous dominance table. The next game, although it was still exciting, neither side was able to change the score again, and the score of 3:0 was maintained until the end of the game.

After exchanging jerseys with his national team teammate Pauletta, Lao Lei did not leave the field immediately. As a courtesy, he also had to applaud the Paris Saint-Germain fans in attendance. He has a calm smile and a gentle attitude, and if Liverpool fans see it, they will definitely not believe his eyes, is this still the unrelenting and unruly Chelsea No. 13 at Anfield. Therefore, Lao Lei is a smooth donkey, and he has always eaten soft, not hard. After the game, the scene where he applauded and thanked was also put on the sports pages of major media, among which the "Daily Mirror" vividly gave this photo a title, "Look at this big star!" ”

Chelsea, who have won both games, temporarily leads Group H with a six-point advantage, ranking first. With a 2-0 win over defending champion Porto in the first round, Paris Saint-Germain is in second place with a three-point advantage. Porto and CSKA Moscow are both 1 point behind, in 3rd and 4th place respectively. Without the championship team led by Lao Lei and Mourinho, Porto was directly beaten back to its original form, and the defending champions suffered the embarrassment of possibly going out of the group season.

According to Portuguese media reports, whenever Porto plays at home, the voices of Godzilla and Mourinho will resound over the Dragons Stadium. However, soon the wishes of Porto fans will come true, and in the third round of the Champions League group stage, Lao Lei and Mourinho will return to the Dragon Stadium with Chelsea. In the same stadium they fought for, they will challenge their former club Porto. It's a more story-telling game than a win or a loser.

That's an afterthought, and the eyes are back on the Premier League stadium. After the clash with Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea will travel to West Brom on Saturday three days later. It was an easy game, at least for Chelsea. Although Lao Lei and others were on the bench, Chelsea still relied on their excellent bench strength to knock open West Brom's turtle shell and get a big victory again. At 4:1, Gudjohnson and Joe Cole both scored twice to help Chelsea win the game without blood, and once again get three points smoothly.

In this round, Arsenal were held to a draw by Southampton. Add to that the fact that their 49-game unbeaten run was ended at Old Trafford by their arch-rivals Manchester United in the last round, leaving them eight points clear of Chelsea at the top of the table. With Chelsea's fearsome steadiness, the English media have already put the title of half-way champion on Chelsea's head.

However, Chelsea don't have time to relax and celebrate. Because the EFL Cup has begun, and their opponent is not an ordinary opponent, West Ham United, known as the Hammers.

As one of West Ham's rivals, the duel between Chelsea and it is known as the "East and West London Derby". The rivalry between the two has been the history of almost all of the two clubs since their founding.

Although, it wasn't a difficult game for Chelsea right now.

But for Ray, it was indeed the first derby of his English football career.

The media is still very interested in this less important match.

Because they are very much looking forward to the confrontation between Old Ray and the Hammers fans, who have always been known for their hot tempers.

You must know that the Hammers fan group is notorious throughout England.

Given the fiery atmosphere of the derby, who could have predicted what would happen between Ray and them?

In contrast, Lao Lei's previous behavior, almost all reporters in England expressed great expectations for it.

The smell of gunpowder from the "East and West London Derby" began to permeate the sky above the foggy capital! (To be continued......)
