Volume 1 Chapter 312 Wenger, Can You Keep Up?

A lot of people say that Mark Hughes is a tough guy

Indeed, throughout Mark Hughes's career, there is indeed a certain tragedy, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a victim of English football hooliganism and football politics to some extent.

Mark Hughes reached the first peak of his life at Manchester United, but at that time, the Heysel tragedy caused the English team to be banned by UEFA, and Mark Hughes on the one hand because of the conflict with the then Manchester United manager Atkinson, on the other hand, also wanted to prove his strength in Europe, so he switched to Vinables, who was coaching Barcelona at the time.

An England striker moved to Spain, and the unaccustomed Mark Hughes was soon loaned to Bayern Munich, and after two years of wandering, he was recalled by Alex Ferguson to Manchester United, but Mark Hughes was no longer the sharp-edged striker he had been two years earlier.

Manchester United in the RU era is far less brilliant than Liverpool and other teams, Mark Hughes has never had a chance to win the league championship, even if he later switched to the super giants Barcelona and Bayern Munich in La Liga and Bundesliga at that time, but the two giants only won the league runner-up, and missed the championship, until he returned to Manchester United, to the 3rd season, when he was already 30 years old, he won the first league championship of his career, and the second year was successfully defended.

These are the only two league trophies in Mark Hughes' career, which is indeed a bit shabby compared to Mark Hughes as a legendary superstar, and as a Wales international, Mark Hughes has never been honored with the national team, and he has not even had the opportunity to participate in the World Cup and the European Cup.

After retiring from the professional league, Mark Hughes transitioned to become a head coach, which is also the development path of many Manchester United players after retirement, and Mark Hughes's first stop in charge was the head coach of the Welsh national team, and his goal was to achieve what he could not achieve during his playing career, which is to bring Wales to the World Cup and the European Championship.

But in the end, he failed, even though they performed well in the group stage, second only to Italy, but in the end they lost to Russia in the play-offs and missed out on Euro 04 finals.

Frustrated, coupled with a gracious offer from Blackburn, Mark Hughes left the national team for the Premier League.

As a player, Mark Hughes was instrumental in Blackburn's promotion from League One to the Premier League, so this time around, he hopes to lead the team back to the top of the Premier League as a manager.

But sometimes, ambition is like a big fat pig with fine skin and tender meat, but the reality is a sharp pig-killing knife.

Blackburn have not been in a good position this season, and the team has become very chaotic during the Souness period, and even in the last year, the conflict between the manager and the players has attracted far more attention than the attention that Souness's team has achieved on the pitch, which has to be said to be a very unsuccessful thing.

As head coach, it will be difficult for Mark Hughes to turn the tide in a short period of time, even

Standing in the away team's dugout at Stamford Bridge, listening to the sound of rain dripping overhead, watching the swampy turf on the pitch, and watching his team constantly being forced into the box by the home team, Mark Hughes was helpless.

He also wants a win and needs a win, but why should he beat Chelsea?

By strength? All the players under his command combined, not enough for Chelsea to see

By tactics? Even if Mark Hughes is very confident in his abilities, I believe that he will not feel that he can be comparable to Ye Qiu

At the very least, in the past few years, Ye Qiu has been the most premier tactician in European football, always leading the trend.

In fact, Mark Hughes didn't dare to despise Ye Qiu and his Chelsea at all, even if many people said before the game that Chelsea's current situation is very bad, not ideal, and may even collapse, but Mark Hughes knows very well that his Blackburn is not much better, fifty steps to laugh and a hundred steps, meaningless.

He wants to be stable at the beginning, not only because of the away game, but also because of the huge gap in strength.

But Ye Qiu's team told them very clearly from the beginning, why is this team called one of the strongest teams in Europe? Why is Ye Qiu known as the best attacking coach in Europe?

Blackburn's only chance to threaten after the opening, remember, was the chance, not the attack, and that was in the 7th minute, taking advantage of a mistake by John Terry, striker Dickov almost broke the ball, but Cannavaro quickly retreated, calmly defended, and stabbed goalkeeper Van der Sar to defuse the crisis.

As if reminded of this crisis, Chelsea soon formed an attack.

Makelele broke the ball in the midfield, Deco passed diagonally to the left, Ronaldinho suddenly cut inside after dribbling the ball from the left side, cut horizontally along the line of the big penalty area to the left side of the arc, a straight ball, diagonally passed to the right rib, Rooney quickly inserted into the penalty area from the gap between the left back and the left central defender, and directly stabbed the incoming ball, and the ball rolled into Friedel's goal neatly, 0

If it was a sudden blow, it didn't take long for Chelsea to give Blackburn's players a taste of what it means to be a catastrophe and what an absolute advantage is

Only 3 minutes later, it was Deco in the middle again, Drogba pulled out of the penalty area, used his body to carry the Blackburn central defender and received the ball, after pressing the opponent with his strong body, he turned and passed diagonally to the right, Rooney quickly inserted and passed diagonally into the left side of the penalty area.

Ronaldinho received the ball and quickly went down to form a breakthrough, but was blocked by the opposing defender, and after a quick stop, Lampard cut in and directly hit a heavy shot less than 10 meters from the goal, but Fridel reacted quickly this time and flew to save the ball, but immediately after, Lampard followed up with a header to hit the shot, 0

The back-to-back goals shattered Blackburn's will, and with the rain and the enthusiasm of tens of thousands of Chelsea fans in attendance, the Chelsea players opened the game with a frenzied attack not seen so far this season.

After a wild attack, Chelsea began to stabilize the situation, Deco and Makelele controlled the tempo steadily, Blackburn was relieved, and Mark Hughes was keen to get the players to press out and play, at least to fight for control of the game and create some chances, but it was clear that Chelsea held control of the game in their hands and refused to let go.

After taking a 0-lead Chelsea, they patiently started a new round of rest and recuperation, but they kept an eye on Blackburn all the time, as if they were going to kill you again at any moment.

In fact, just when Blackburn thought they could breathe a sigh of relief, Chelsea seized another chance.

It was Ronaldinho's successive breakthroughs down the left flank, breaking free from the defence of two players and then crossing, Drogba nodded the ball back from distance, and Frank Lampard slotted in with a header to make it 0

In the 39th minute, Claude Makelele broke the ball and played a straight ball to Wayne Rooney, and the England golden boy won the ball and gently flicked it to Drogba, who was back to face the goal, who slammed it straight behind him.

It was all a touch of the ball, and Blackburn's defence was easily dismantled by Chelsea.

Ronaldinho himself this time, quickly cut into the penalty area from the left rib, won the ball and shook it past goalkeeper Friedel, and easily pushed the shot, 40

The whole stadium at Stamford Bridge went completely crazy

In an instant, all the Chelsea fans rose from their seats in a frenzy

Roaring, cheering, venting and swearing were all over the faces of the Chelsea fans

The end of the unbeaten run, the long period of falling behind, and the overwhelming media skepticism all of this has put a lot of pressure on Chelsea to fight back against all the doubts that they will need a hearty win

After Ye Qiu scored the fourth goal in the team, the whole person rushed out of the coach's bench and made a confident fist clenching action to all the players on the court, he did not have the strong muscles of Drogba, but he gave people a strong and powerful feeling, this feeling was more reassuring than Drogba's strength, it was an incomparably strong confidence

It was like saying to all the media and fans who doubted Chelsea, you doubt, that is your freedom, I can't argue with that, because I can't say you, but I'm going to use the facts, with my fists, to speak for me, to prove that I'm right

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, and Chelsea were like a hungry man, unable to eat enough.

In less than 5 minutes of the opening game, Rooney broke through on the right side and crossed, Drogba volleyed vigorously in front of the goal, the ball hit the leg of the opponent's central defender and rebounded, Deco inserted a deft shot, and the ball went straight into the upper right corner, 0

After that, Chelsea began a new round of brewing and adjustment, as if observing the changes in Blackburn's midfield, Ye Qiu did not make substitutions this time, but continued to keep all the starters on the field.

In the first minute, Ronaldinho burst into the penalty area with the ball on the left side, and in the case of the player who had broken through the opponent and formed a single knife, he picked up the back point, and Rooney quickly inserted a header to score, 0

And 10 minutes later, Ronaldinho chose himself again this time, a long pass from McCone at the back, when the opposing player had already won the ball in advance, the Brazilian did not seem to have any intention of stopping, forced the opponent's central defender Neil, and blocked the ball when Neil cleared.

After breaking the ball, Ronaldinho quickly formed a breakthrough and brought it into the penalty area, facing the attacking Friedel, Ronaldinho calmly pushed the ball into the bottom left corner, and then he rushed out of the penalty area, celebrating along the way, completing this wonderful goal feast.

"0 OMG, Chelsea went crazy on this rainy night"

"Two ribs, or the deadliest two ribs, Blackburn's two ribs were completely blown up by Chelsea, and now who else would say that Ye Qiu's Chelsea has lost their best attack? Who else would say that Chelsea would collapse after losing their unbeaten run? Go down in flames?

'On this rainy night, we saw a manic Chelsea team that couldn't stop pouring rain, and they were completely venting their anger and frustration over the past two months in the hapless Blackburn Rovers.

"Mark Hughes once again played a tragic role, it doesn't matter about him, Blackburn's strength is there, I believe that even Ye Qiu can't lead this Blackburn team to make a difference, this shouldn't be too harsh Mark Hughes has two big defeats in a row, the only thing that can be said is that he was unlucky and met a crazy Chelsea"

In the shouts of the on-site commentator Andy Gray, and in the frantic shouts of all the Chelsea fans on the scene, Chelsea still launched wave after wave of attacks on Blackburn, but Ye Qiu immediately made substitutions and adjustments, and successively replaced a number of players including Cesc Fabregas, Messi and Van Persie, saving strength for the main players.

The first two goals of this game can be said to be in Ye Qiu's calculations, both of which are targeted arrangements for the weaknesses and weaknesses of Blackburn's defense, coupled with the recuperation of players such as Ronaldinho and Drogba, Chelsea's outbreak in this game is not surprising.

On the contrary, Drogba failed to score, which made Ye Qiu feel depressed

It's not that Drogba didn't contribute to this game, on the contrary, perhaps in the eyes of many people, Drogba played a small role, but in fact, his ravages on Blackburn's two central defenders played a significant contribution to the team's attack.

Deco and Ronaldinho's form has also improved greatly, McCann's attack on the right has begun to work, and his partner with Wayne Rooney has gradually developed a tacit understanding, while Lampard is as stable as ever, and there will even be doubts that Lampard's almost perverted stability is comparable to that of a robot.

All of this created a crazy football feast on this night

As if to thank the fans, after the game, captain John Terry and Frank Lampard led their team-mates to the stands on each side, waving to the fans in the stands to thank them, although many Chelsea fans have been doubting them and Ye Qiu since the beginning of the season, but the vast majority of them have always been unwavering in their support for the team and Ye Qiu.

For these people, the players and the coaching staff need to be grateful

Even Ye Qiu made an exception and allowed the players to be interviewed by the media after the game, which is rare.

'We never doubted our quality because we knew how far we could and for a long time we felt that it wasn't the real Chelsea and we couldn't do it as well as we thought we could do the way we thought we would.

Speaking to the media, vice-captain Frank Lampard expressed his thoughts on the team's past performances.

'A lot of people say we're not happy with the manager's tactics, it's fake, I swear it's in our dressing room, we don't say two, it's like this game, he told us before the game, don't think too much, go up and attack me, we did it and you see, 0 The biggest win in the Premier League so far this season"

"The head is a very special person and the more critical moments we get, the more we trust him because he never lets us down, and this time is the same, and I believe that after this game, all the words that think we will be depressed by this can disappear because we have come out of the shadows"

The team's captain, John Terry, also confidently promised in an interview with the media, "Lost to Arsenal in unbeaten games? It doesn't matter, I'd like to make an appeal here and I hope Arsenal can accumulate a few more unbeaten games because we will catch up again soon and this time we will be stronger than ever."

Veteran superstar Cannavaro also said in an interview with the media, "There is no team that does not have problems, the season is so long, there will always be some problems, the team did encounter a lot of things at the beginning of the season, the national team matches are very frequent, there are many internationals, and there are some trivial things like this, but we have survived"

'It's not a big deal to lose our unbeaten streak, on the contrary, we can take it easier to meet the next challenge, we are only five points behind Arsenal, oh no, the coaching staff just told us that Arsenal drew away to Manchester United and we are only three points behind them, one game'

Ronaldinho, who was elected the best player in this game, shouted a provocative slogan with confidence.

"Please convey it to Arsenal, we have awakened, let them run faster in front, don't be so easily caught up by us, otherwise this game of cat and mouse will not be fun at all"

This is very in line with Ye Qiu's style, the team's performance is not good, and when he is questioned, he adopts a relatively low-key strategy, but once he performs well, he needs to make some changes and adjustments to boost the morale of the team and fans as much as possible.

After all, a combative fan is also able to motivate and encourage the team in many cases

At the post-match press conference, Ye Qiu also said in a high-profile manner that the battle for the league championship has just begun.

'We're going to get better and better, as I said before, we're going to work on it, and the winter break and the second half of the season are when we're out of shape, and the good performance in this game is not an accident, it's an accumulation.'

'It's not the time for the best Chelsea yet, all I can say is that Chelsea are still in the adjustment phase, and then we will get better and better, and our results will be more and more consistent, and I hope that the team can play on all fronts, because no team will say anything about the title."

Ye Qiu's self-confidence comes from the team itself, because the next Chelsea will not meet a strong opponent before meeting Arsenal, plus the Chelsea players are in good condition, there is no pressure from the national team game, he will be fully exerted, and even he unabashedly shouted his ambition.

"I hope to be able to keep winning all the way until I meet Arsenal, but I wonder if Arsene Wenger can keep up?"
