Chapter 23: Sitting on the bench

The starting line-ups for Manchester United and Chelsea were in the media spotlight ahead of the game.

Jonk knew that his starting ceremony was not playful, and it would be good to be in the squad.

In the eyes of the media, Mourinho will definitely put centre-forward Drogba in the starting line-up.

Jonker was the least likely of any Chelsea striker last time, after all, it was a surprise to the media that he could stay in the first team without being loaned.

Whether you make it to the list or not, no one will pay attention.

When the Chelsea squad appeared, the media found out that Jonk had squeezed into the 16th squad, 5 substitutes, with Jonker's name, and Chelsea's No. 25 squeezed out Kezman.

Of course, Mourinho is not only considering the problem of the striker, Jonk can also play a cameo in the midfield position, the young coach is also taken into account, the Premier League is still using the rule of 5 substitutes, there must be some jack-of-all-trades players on the bench, Jonk can play midfield and striker, and it is not surprising that Mourinho chose Jonker.

Gudjohnsen became Drogba's partner, forming a physical forward line to attack United's backline.

Fortunately, he is a substitute, he has been the absolute main force in Ajax for half a season, and when he became a substitute at Chelsea, Jonker has no complaints, and when he meets a manager of his own family who seems strange to him, there is nothing he can do, waiting to seize the opportunity to play.

The first time I boarded the pre-match Chelsea bus, I could see Chelsea fans in blue shirts everywhere along the way, and they noticed that the Chelsea bus was all very enthusiastic after the Chelsea bus, and Jonk didn't know if Lu Dao was waving to him, and he waved out of politeness.

Chelsea vs Manchester United, the London police also take it very seriously, and the closer the bus gets to Stamford Bridge, the more police officers can be seen.

As soon as you get around the stadium, you can see the mounted police patrolling back and forth.

This formation is much bigger than that of the Netherlands, how to say that the Netherlands is only a big city, and there are as many teams as there are in London alone.

What is a blue ocean, worthy of the Blues Chelsea fans, outside the stadium at this time is already a blue ocean.

Before the official game was played, there were already people among the fans who held up Drogba's placard to express their support, and Jonk looked at it for a long time, anyway, his No. 25 jersey was not worn by the fans, judging from the club's emphasis on recruitment, it can directly reflect the player's position in the club.

Low-key, Jonker can only use this word to comfort himself, since joining Chelsea, the media has not been officially interviewed, it is not valued at all, and it has nothing to do with low-key.

Stepping off the team bus, the fans outside shouted the names of the players in high-pitched voices every time they saw a player get off the bus.

When it came to John Terry and several other players who were absolutely the main players last season, the voices were even louder, and with the flickering magnesium lights, the players walked into the stadium in turn.

It was Jonker's turn to get out of the car, he was Lampard before, and when Jonk came out, the sparse shouting really made Jonk embarrassed, mainly because the contrast between the front and back was a little too big, and he was still calling very loudly just now, and suddenly he took a sharp turn to make Jonk, a latecomer, embarrassed.

The slightly embarrassed face also stepped into the court under the same scarce spotlight.

Many media still don't know the specific details of Lu Dao Jonck, "Who is this kid!" It shouldn't be so strange to be selected for the list! ”

"Tick, I said you were unprofessional! You don't know what to do, you run the Chelsea training ground every day! The one who comes to train in a taxi every day, Chelsea number 25! ”

"Come to think of it, if you don't say it, I always thought he was a staff member of the training base!"

If Jonker, who is really unhappy, hears the conversation between the two, the reporter named Tick will be unlucky, what a look, staff!

The Chelsea players stepped into the dressing room and the starters quickly changed their clothes and went on the pitch to prepare for the warm-up.

As a substitute player, Jonk is not in a hurry, but the warm-up substitute players also have to participate, but when I go back to the dressing room to listen to Mourinho's pre-match arrangement, there will be no such thing as Jonker!

At the beginning of the warm-up, the stands behind the goal of the Manchester United warm-up half were extremely eye-catching, and the blue sea of the whole field was blocked by a section of red, which was the location of the away Premier League giants Manchester United's goal.

Don't look at it as just a warm-up, the fans of the two teams also don't give in to each other, and the Manchester United fans infuriated the home Chelsea fans with a neat shout, and Manchester United described Chelsea as nouveau riche.

The Chelsea fans who were still singing together to cheer for Chelsea immediately stopped singing and began to fight back piecemeal, they turned Manchester United into a broken house, Manchester United was pressed by Arsenal in the second place in the league in recent years, and was surpassed by Chelsea last season, only ranked third in the Premier League, and it is not an exaggeration to break the giants.

The fans of the two teams went to war with each other, setting off the atmosphere of the game extremely warmly, the fans almost made their moves, and the warm-up players in the game felt the same way, and the first round of the competition will not be dull.

Sky TV's helicopter was filmed in the air to record the most crucial matches of the Premier League.

"Hello everyone, I'm Sky TV commentator, Lineker!"

'The Red-Blue clash can be the highlight of the first round of the Premier League and we have one person to thank, Chelsea owner Abou!'

At this moment, with the voice of the commentator, the camera turned, Abu in the top box was watching the players in the field at the moment, in fact, he was looking at Jonker, and he could see that Jonk was warming up, Abu felt that his conversation with Mourinho was not in vain, although he did not pick out Jonker's background identity with Mourinho, but with Mourinho's Portuguese, he should know more or less, which is enough!

Abu doesn't look like the person who almost died before, he is still the one who looks very kind with a smile, a suit makes him look very energetic, and it is not surprising that he came to watch the first round of the game, everyone knows Abu's love and ambition for football.

Chelsea host Manchester United, and for such an important game, Abbou was of course there.

After the warm-up of the players of the two teams was over, the starters quickly took the coats handed by the staff and walked into the locker room.

Jonker took his coat and walked straight to the bench, and as the music played, the Chelsea fans were singing "Blueisacolor" in unison in the last hours before the kick-off.
