Chapter 177: The Premier League is in a league of its own
Chelsea have shown formidable fighting power on all fronts they have played, and their steadfastness has made all opponents fearful, counting on the Blues to make mistakes? Don't even think about it!
Who can stop Chelsea has become a major theme in the Premier League, and of course Chelsea will inevitably be pushed to the forefront.
They did not keep a low profile, nor did they compromise, in the face of pressure from all sides, Mourinho rushed to the role of a pioneer warrior, and always transferred most of the pressure to himself, in the eyes of the outside world, the Portuguese young coach is an unruly and eccentric coach who spreads conspiracy theories when he has nothing to do, but the players admire their manager.
With Chelsea's rise and more players eager to join the group, Ryan Giggs has expressed concern that the days of good players eager to go to Manchester United are over, and Chelsea are now the first choice for transfers.
Arjen Robben is a case in point, after visiting Carrington's base, the Dutchman chose Stamford Bridge instead of Ferguson to join the Red Devils, and in response to this, Robben spoke about his motivation for the move, and that Chelsea was not all about money.
"I've been very careful about every transfer option," Robben said, "and the factors that influenced my decision were whether it would be good for me to go to this team, how well this team was going, what kind of positioning I would get in this team and what the atmosphere was like there. After a comparison, Robben finally chose Chelsea, who had risen rapidly in the past two years, over Manchester United.
"I always choose what I want, and this way will never betray me. I'm very happy at Chelsea right now, I'm living in London and I feel like I'm in heaven right now. Let's be honest. Nowhere else in the world can the atmosphere of football compare to England. Actually, it doesn't matter where you play, it's important that I have complete freedom at Chelsea and that's what I value. ”
Robben also revealed that he became independent at an early age, which helped him in his career development. "I became independent very early on, and maybe that's why I'm more mature than my age. In other ways, though. I'm still who I am and professional football hasn't changed me. I still have a lot of friends who are still in school, and I'm playing football. That's the only difference we have. ”
Injuries have always been an issue for Robben, but he says he is not afraid of them right now, but rather a motivator. "It's unfortunate. Injuries are part of the game of football. But injuries can only motivate me to perform better when I come back. ”
Arjen Robben's team-mate Frank Lampard, on the other hand, expressed greater confidence in the development of the team, believing that the criticism the Blues are now facing is actually a means of trying to smash the opponents to shake them. 'The criticism comes from our success,' said Lampard, 'but we're not bothered and people are saying something now. To hit us with this, all we have to do is keep the momentum going. Answer them with a table xiàn on the field. ”
The signing of Arjen Robben is just another example of Chelsea's charm, and at the same time, Chelsea's determination to recruit talented young players has never stopped.
Roman Abramovich has claimed that Chelsea want to build a century-old dynasty and while they are making a big splash in the Premier League, another of their goals is to recruit the best young talent from around the world, and Ajax are known for developing great young players, and now the Blues have reached out to them.
Chelsea's new sporting director, Arneson, has been busy scouring talent lately, having just watched the Under-17 World Junior Championships in Peru and has set two targets: 17-year-old John Goosens, a striker, and Jeffrey Sapang, a midfielder who has been produced by Ajax and is considered the best player in the Netherlands at this level.
Arneson has been in contact with their agent, Søren Leby, in an attempt to persuade them to sign a professional contract with Chelsea, which has come under fire from Ajax.
"What is happening now is simply insane," said Ajax's sporting director Eden, "and we are thinking about how to stop this from happening. We can't give all the young players professional contracts at once, and somebody has to take advantage of the loopholes. ”
According to FIFA's transfer rules, Chelsea only need to pay around £200,000 to get the two youngsters, which Ajax is very unhappy with, they think that it is a clear injustice that the talent they have worked so hard to develop is poached in this way, and they are currently trying to persuade the player to sign with their parents and Ajax, but for the two young men who are eager for a better future, the temptation on the Chelsea side seems difficult to refuse.
In fact, the two Ajax players are already thinking about overseas development, and they have their own goals.
Sapuon has said he wants to go to London, but his preferred club is Arsenal. 'My favourite team is Arsenal, I love the Premier League because of the rhythm and the way it is played, and I like to watch Barcelona play. Goosens said that his idol is Robben, and he is looking forward to the opportunity to play with his idol.
It is also reported that Chelsea have also set their sights on Borussia Dortmund's young midfielder Shahin, who has just turned 17 and also played at the World Youth Championships in Peru, finishing fourth for Turkey. However, Dortmund made it clear that they would not sell Shahin. "So far we haven't received any official offer," said Borussia Dortmund's director Wazek, "Sasin is our future and soon he will be able to shock the Bundesliga and we have no plans to sell him." ”
Of course, all of Chelsea's actions may not be as expected, but the determination of the show is sideways, and let's not forget that the player who is in the limelight is still an 18-year-old, and Chelsea have tasted wonderful things when it comes to talented young players.
The emergence of Jonk broke the talent of many times in the media's perception, and England's genius Wayne Rooney has shown extraordinary talent since he was a child, and along the way, it was with the attention of the media that the club's focus on cultivating finally became a talented young superstar.
This is true of most talents, who have shown great football talent very early on. The same is true of Cristiano Ronaldo, but Jonker is different from everyone else, he was unknown in his youth. He couldn't even get into the eyes of the first-team manager at the time, and was forced to leave the Netherlands, only to usher in the opportunity to prove himself.
The different path to fame makes people feel that Jonk is so different, and it is a bit inappropriate to describe him as a late bloomer, which only shows that the original coaches are looking away, and gold will shine sooner or later.
Jonker read the article, but his face was a little hot. What if he wasn't a journalist, and he could say that Jonk was a treasure that was almost dusted, in fact?
Not at all. At that time, the coach definitely saw that there was something wrong with Jonker, at least in terms of attitude.
Let the media say it, Jonk is a little embarrassed, but he is a little proud in his heart. Two years. It's only been two years, and he has caught up with the absolute genius of the same period in Portugal at that time, Ronaldo, and he still has that pride in his heart.
The media has been much more honest recently, the scandals have been reported less, and many articles have appeared, and the media has unconsciously changed its attitude, and the reason for this is that Jonk has made a lawsuit against the two media.
Everybody knows. Jonk's team will not let the two media outlets go lightly, claiming £2 million. It is absolutely possible to get the tabloid that first reported the news to go bankrupt, and the most important thing is that the tabloid has no chance to reconcile at all.
The player was able to fight back so sharply that other media had to readjust, and the tabloid was also a bit blinded by lard, daring to publish anything, and if it were the truth, a player would probably disappear.
As for the other "Sun", it is completely active to find a draw, and if there is a chance, it will not take advantage of it, and now it is too late to regret it.
Look at what appears on Jonk's team, the lawyers' group?
That's right, the reporters covering the trial saw the best team of lawyers in the UK, and the royal counsel was not the chief of the family.
Abu found the best team of lawyers, and The Sun thought that it could increase its exposure, and with the help of its own professional lawyers, it was both advantageous and famous, and now it seems that it is beyond remorse.
There will be no results in a day or two, and the two media, no matter how big or small, are now getting not a chance to be in the limelight, but a complete humiliation.
In Jonker's team, all the false reports of the "Sun" were taken out one by one, and for a while, the reputation of the "Sun" fell to the lowest point, and now it is concentrated by big moves, and if you want to reconcile, what should you do earlier.
The lawsuit over there is lively, but as a party Jonker has a very easy time, training, going home and making phone calls between lovers porridge, immersed in the feeling of love, he also seems to feel a kind of responsibility, for Kerr's responsibility, the number of times he goes out is much less, and Joan Ke also changed to the boutique route, but he doesn't ask for it, many times he just goes to play, and he doesn't really do it at all.
Mourinho doesn't think so, a qiē indicates that the young man is beginning to mature, starting to stabilize and learn to restrain himself, although he has not said it before, Jonck's private life is more or less problematic, he still has some personal opinions, and now it is good.
The biggest benefit of the manager's recognition is obvious, the successive starts.
Jonk couldn't believe it, and in the ninth round of the league, he also repaid the manager's trust with a senior win.
A sad Bolton became the pathetic man for Chelsea who trembled under the iron hooves, and yes, that's how the media described the game.
In the face of Chelsea's attack, Bolton did not show the fighting spirit of a Premier League team, and after only four minutes of scoring a goal, they began to tremble under the iron hooves.
A goal not long after the opening, but it was himself who was unlucky, what a terrible Chelsea, what a terrible dominance, the tiger's ass can't be touched, and Chelsea's door can't be broken.
9 wins in a row! As we approach Tottenham's 11-game winning streak 50 years ago, Chelsea's pace is getting stronger.
Continuing to win and scoring crazy goals, the label "boringchelsea" pales in at the moment.
Chelsea have scored nine goals in their last two games and Jose Mourinho is finally proud to be part of his post-match press conference after the last league fixture.
In the last game, he shattered Liverpool's dream of winning the title; After this round, Arsenal, who are 14 points behind them, are basically out of the championship squad.
Gala's boast of "winning the championship in January" does not seem to be an exaggeration.
Neither Liverpool nor Bolton Wanderers are underdogs, as evidenced by the fact that they both scored a Chelsea goal.
But the scary thing is. A goal did not beat Chelsea, but rather gave Chelsea's self-esteem and self-improvement an instant explosion.
'We're not a boring team, but sometimes it's for the result. We don't mind being bored. "Mourinho's speech made people laugh and cry. With this win, Chelsea's odds to win the title have dropped to the lowest 10 to 1 in Premier League history, and even in next season's odds to win the title, Chelsea are only 13 to 8, Manchester United and Arsenal are 1 to 8 and 16 respectively.
The former "two tigers" have become complete "companions", which is a great sadness.
Now. What is left for Chelsea is not whether they can win the championship, but some pale numbers: 12 consecutive wins, 5 to 13; Breaking Arsenal's 49-game unbeaten run. 9 to 4; Unbeaten in the season, 2 to 11; Win all seasons, 50 to 1; 4 titles, 25 to 1. It looks like all the "horrifying" records are going to be taken over to Chelsea.
Duff needed to rest for 4 weeks for cartilage surgery. Arjen Robben also suffered a minor injury during a national team match. Chelsea's huge wing duo finally had a chance to get a completely different drill.
Although, it wasn't easy to get started...... Bolton took the lead in the fourth minute when Diouf received a throw-in from the left and chested the ball straight into the six-yard box, Del Horno failed to intercept the ball, and Ioannakopolos cut in to shoot, and the onrushing Cech could only look at the ball and sigh.
It wasn't Bolton's only chance in the first half, with Speed hitting the post with a header. And Chelsea. Although Wright Jr. made Petersen suffer, it didn't translate into goals. On the contrary, before half-time. Essien received only one yellow card for stealing Haim for a red-carded action, planting a bomb for the game.
Jose Mourinho hurried into the lounge just before the break. Chelsea made just one change in the second half, with Gudjohnson coming on for Del Hornou to attack, but Chelsea's formation was changed to 334, with the Icelander making strong contact with the overly far Cole and Wright.
Five minutes later, after Frank Lampard's free-kick was blocked by a goalkeeper, Jonker struck in front of goal, setting off Chelsea's four-goal run in 10 minutes. And Gardner's deliberate handball off on 52 minutes fueled Chelsea's cruelty.
Marcollale was blocked, Essien took the Frenchman's place and Frank Lampard was liberated. And when the exhausted Boltons relaxed their block on 71 minutes, the Frenchman was punished for setting up Gudjohnsson's final goal.
Arades complained after the game that Essien was not sent off in the first half, and Gardner was sent off to make a "difference" in the game. But as stubborn as he has to admit, Chelsea have struggled to catch up.
Luck can play a subtle role, but looking back at Chelsea's winning routes over the past two seasons, it's the same. For one, you have to stay focused from start to finish against Chelsea, with Bolton slipping for 10 minutes and conceding four goals. Which is not the case with Liverpool, Bayern Munich or Barcelona?
Second, don't let Chelsea take advantage of personnel, as evidenced by Everton last season, Tottenham Hotspur this season, and Bolton Wanderers after being sent off; Thirdly, if you want to win against Chelsea, it's best to solve the problem in the second half.
Otherwise, the changes Mourinho made at half-time often leave you in agony. Newcastle, Charlton Athletic and Fulham suffered last season, and this time it's Bolton's turn; Fourth, if you want to provoke Chelsea, score them a goal! Liverpool and Villa have both done this in exchange for six goals conceded.
Bolton did so, and the gates were breached five times.
At the end of the day, always be on the lookout for Jonker and Frank Lampard. The duo showed their might in Chelsea's key games last season and remain the same this season. In this game, Frank Lampard made two passes, and Jonk shot four times, and he was the protagonist again. However, there are also Robben, Duff, and even Ibrahimovic in danger, such Chelsea, is it really that people surrender without a fight?
Chelsea, who have won nine in a row, stand at a threshold - now, without the boring defensive football accusations; There is no doubt about the ability of Jose Mourinho, the "king of the dressing room"; There are no doubts about Jonker, Drogba, or Lampard's 'slow heat'.
In other words, Chelsea have never been so far without a way back. The home game against Betis, whether it's Cech or Jose Mourinho, is clear: try to solve the league and then focus on the Champions League.
That's Chelsea's strategy this season, tackling the league by January and then focusing on the Champions League. But is it easy to face a "lamb" Betis who is more excited than cowardly?
Dovres, Betis' goalkeeper, was interviewed this week by the newspaper Seville Daily.
Understandably, he has plenty of respect for Chelsea, 'Frank Lampard is the most dangerous player, but I like John Terry the most. Chelsea have been fantastic, they have averaged 18 shots per game and they have a very good manager. He rarely buys players in Spain and Italy, but he buys players who are practical and of very high quality. ”
Dovres is full of respect and it can be seen that he has studied Chelsea thoroughly. But instead, he said the most important thing, "We are not even afraid of Real Madrid and Barcelona, how can we be afraid of Chelsea!" It's a historic moment for us and we're all going to give it our all. Obviously, the Betis players will have the adrenaline at their highest level on Wednesday night, and it is not impossible for the La Liga dark side that has won against Barcelona and Real Madrid from time to time.
Chelsea, on the other hand, took it in stride. Yes, the more excited the lamb is, the calmer the butcher will be. That means the struggle under the knife will be very violent, but it will end quickly. (To be continued......)
