Chapter 30: A Fresh Feeling

As interim acting head coach at Blackburn, Mark Hughes was originally a nobody in English football. However, this qiē changed dramatically after the match between Chelsea and Blackburn. Basically, as long as you follow the fans of the Premier League, you know that Blackburn has Mark Hughes. Of course, this is not a good reputation, and almost everyone in England knows about the fact that he was taught by Old Ray in person. While all the reporters couldn't help but step forward and step on it, they were also secretly vigilant in their hearts and made up their minds that as long as they were not completely sure, they would no longer take the initiative to provoke Lao Lei. From the Anfield incident to this time Mark Hughes, in addition to his football skills, Lao Lei used his unique personality as quickly as possible to make a name for himself in the Premier League.

In the Premier League standings, after 10 rounds, Chelsea continue to be at the top of the table with 9 wins and 1 defeat, accumulating 27 points, three points ahead of Arsenal, who continue to hold an unbeaten record. Although the season is not yet halfway through, the media have already given the Premier League title alternates to these two teams. There is a reason for this, for example, Manchester United, who are currently third in the table, are already 10 points behind Chelsea. The two teams have become separate leaders, leaving the teams behind them completely behind. What's even more frightening is that this gap is gradually widening. In this regard, the "Daily Mirror" commented: "Maybe before Christmas, we will only see two teams competing for the title. ”

With such a dominant result in the Premier League, Chelsea are now naturally at their peak. Now Chelsea fans are confronted with the sarcasm of other teams that 'you only have money'. is already able to hold his head up and respond without showing weakness: "We are rich, we are the first!" 'Chelsea's market is starting to get better and better, and every time it's Chelsea's turn to play at home, Stamford Bridge is the norm. At the same time, the atmosphere within the Chelsea squad is remarkably harmonious, and after the Blackburn Rovers game, it was time for the Chelsea team to come together.

However, Chelsea, who have all been good, are also beginning to usher in a test, and a busy schedule awaits them. Played 4 games in half a month. This is for any team. It's a tough test. Although Chelsea's bench is thick enough, Mourinho is not lazy, and if he stumbles during this period, it will be a very bad situation for Chelsea.

First of all. They're going to be in the middle of the week. Away to Paris Saint-Germain, opponents in the second round of the group stage. It's a game for Chelsea. It's not difficult. Since Ronaldinho's departure from the Ligue 1 giants, PSG has embarked on an inevitable period of turbulent slump that has not eased up to this day. Although by virtue of their own wealthy status. It's still a good time in Ligue 1, but it's not the same in the Champions League. In Group H, they are the favourites at the bottom. So for this game, Mourinho has already given the order that he must win. With no winter break in the Premier League, Mourinho will need to decompress his team as much as possible before the most difficult fixtures arrive.

In this game against Paris Saint-Germain, Mourinho started his own rotation. In this starting formation, he lined up in a 4-4-2 formation. Bridge replaced Galla as the starting left wing-back. In midfield, Lao Lei and Makelele, who has recently returned from injury, are paired with two midfielders. The two of them form a midfield four with Joe Cole and Frank Lampard, with Gudjohnson and Didier Drogba ahead of them. However, this formation can actually be said to be 4-4-1-1, because Gudjohnson's position is more like a shadow striker than a pure striker.

In this formation, Mourinho's request to Lao Lei is to let him press more and participate in the attack, dominate the opponents at the Parc des Princes, and completely suppress Paris Saint-Germain. The biggest difference between this lineup and the regular starters is that with the addition of Goodjohnson and Joe Cole, the technical content of the frontcourt attack line has increased significantly. After the old ray stepped forward, Chelsea will have a big improvement in terms of suppression ability in the front court compared to before. If the regular starting lineup is more focused on impact, then this lineup is more focused on control. The strength of both sets of lineups is not bad, but considering the characteristics of the Premier League's style of play, Mourinho chose the former.

However, in the Champions League, the second set of squads just happened to have a place to play his strengths. Unlike the league, cup competitions require more stability and control, and in terms of team explosiveness, the requirements are slightly lower. And this lineup did not live up to Mourinho's expectations, and at the Parc des Princes, Chelsea came up all of a sudden, and it was successfully reversed.

It's a stadium where Chelsea are on full display of their possession of the ball. Shortly after the break, they completely pressed PSG's formation into their own half, while Chelsea began their own siege career. In the fifth minute of the first half, Chelsea had their first shot of the game. Lao Lei stepped forward to the front, and in the face of Paris Saint-Germain's three-back interception formation, he directly and strongly chose to break through from the Chinese army.

Facing the Parisian defender Elder, the old thunderbolt took control of the football and slowly moved forward. Facing a Ligue 1 team that focuses on ground coordination and foot skills, Lao Lei finally has the space and time to calmly show his footwork, without worrying about the situation of the Premier League.

Lao Lei kept making subtle feints, changing his center of gravity, testing Held's defense. However, it is obvious that this Elder is still a more experienced midfielder, and he has not been deceived by Lao Lei so simply. Of course, Lao Lei didn't think that he would succeed so easily, his killer weapon was behind. Just after Elder had reached a position where he could not retreat, Lao Lei's left foot suddenly buckled the football between his feet, which immediately deceived Elder into moving his center of gravity. However, this was just a feint, and Lao Lei's left foot stepped directly over the top of the football.

At this time, Elder also immediately forcibly stabilized his center of gravity. Re-settling. But the center of gravity, in front of the dribbling master, as long as the defender moves, it will be difficult for him to stabilize it. At this moment, Lao Lei, who had just put down his left foot, suddenly moved with all his strength, and his left foot moved towards the football again, looking like he was going to walk from Elder to the right. This made Elder have to move his center of gravity again, but this time he has no ability to force it back again. And it was at this moment that Lao Lei was waiting for, and his left foot crossed the football again.

By the time Elder wanted to turn his weight around again. He could only watch Lao Lei carry the football in a chic manner. Quickly pass guò from your own right. His helpless eyes clearly told the fans in front of the TV a word, that is, he couldn't help it. Without a stable center of gravity, people cannot run and walk smoothly. And Lao Lei's skillful feints shook people this time. It was a burst of exclamation from Paris Saint-Germain fans. The simpler the moving action. The harder it is to succeed on the pitch. The amount of time spent on practice and the basic skills required are very demanding.

Fans of Ligue 1, not fans of the Premier League, pay attention to technology. After seeing the gorgeous expressions of the players, whether he is his own player or not, as long as he is not a mortal enemy, they will applaud and marvel. And Lao Lei's weightlifting this time is light, and his calm and elegant feints are shaking people, so he can naturally get such treatment. Although the exclamation in his ears made Lao Lei a little uncomfortable, he did not let go of himself to beg others to scold him and boo himself.

The slight discomfort in his heart did not affect his progress with the ball. After breaking through Elder's defense, PSG's midfield interception line was immediately broken. Due to the pull of Joe Cole and Frank Lampard, the other two midfielders did not have time to have any impact on the fast-moving old ray. Soon, he was on the edge of the Paris Saint-Germain penalty area with his football, and Drogba was already swimming and running in the box, just waiting for the ammunition delivered by Lao Lei.

Perhaps it was the exclamations of Paris Saint-Germain fans that aroused Lao Lei's interest and made him suddenly have the desire to play more flowers. Facing Paris Saint-Germain central defender Armand who pressed out of the penalty area, Lao Lei suddenly accelerated, and it seemed that he had no idea of continuing to break through and shoot, and was about to pass the ball. At this moment, behind him was also a Paris Saint-Germain defender Coridan who was quickly returning to the defense.

In this case, Lao Lei made another feint of dialing the ball to the right with his left foot. This caused Armand to have to stretch out his foot to block, because as long as Lao Lei's pass passed, Gudjohnson over there was in a position where he could shoot directly and dribble directly into the penalty area. However, this time it was just Lao Lei's feint. And at this time, Coridan was also about to arrive, looking at Lao Lei's feints, he was already ready to release a shovel to sabotage this attack.

However, at this time, Lao Lei's right foot suddenly went backwards, and then together with his left foot, he clamped the football. Immediately afterwards, Lao Lei is waist and abdomen exert force, and while the whole person rotates with the trend, he also hooks the football high, so that the football passes through the top of his head, and also dodges Coridan's sliding shovel. The football, on the other hand, was handed over to Drogba in the penalty area. Although he was also a little shocked by Lao Lei's passing action this time, the shooter's instinct still allowed him to complete a high-quality powerful volley. Faced with a powerful volley from near the line of the six-yard box, Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Letici had nothing to do. Chelsea's first shot of the game in the sixth minute opened the door for PSG, and it was spectacular.

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!! A magician's show! Magician's Performance!! Remaier's showed off his superior foot skills, and his feet literally danced on a postage stamp. While Didier's shot was just as spectacular, Remaier's previous series of escapes were just too eye-catching. It was perfect! Now we can proudly say to others that this is Godzilla, who can dance ballet, and that it belongs to Stamford Bridge!! ”

While the Chelsea fans in London cheered for Ray, he was also amazed and applauded by the Paris Saint-Germain fans at the Parc des Princes.

This kind of treatment is very unfamiliar to Lao Lei.

However, he has to admit that this feeling of being flattered by the opposing fans is not bad.

Although he didn't say it, the corners of his mouth raised showed it without a doubt.

At the same time, Lao Lei in order to maintain his "master" demeanor.

He was very reserved and did not celebrate excitedly, but greeted Paris Saint-Germain in the stands around him in a very stylish manner.

"Good feeling, I like it!"

Of course, don't think that Lao Lei will change his temperament, and suddenly the prodigal son will turn back.

It's just that I'm used to eating spicy and greasy big fish and meat, and occasionally have some vegetables and fruits to change the taste.

Godzilla, all carnivores.

It's nature. (To be continued......)
