Chelsea's newsmaker of the last two months is destined to be Joe. Cole -- an excellent performance on the field, Mourinho's "strict requirements" off the field. Now, there's another off-the-counter news.

After a narrow 2-1 win over Hussfield Town in the FA Cup last night, Joe, who played the full 90 minutes, went to the third page of The Sun's Girl Keeley's party.

So The Sun grabbed the exclusive: in their third edition of Girl Kiri. Hazel held a team to "steal chickens and rice", and was beaten "beyond recognition" by "competitors", and finally jumped out of the window in a panic to escape. Not only was Cole disheveled, forgot to put on his shoes, but even lost his phone and wallet during the run, and could only "beg" a taxi driver to take him home and withdraw the money! But a qiē is nothing more than a scandal hype.

Chelsea will not penalise players who have been on leave for two days off for their behaviour during the holidays, not to mention that Joe was a 'victim' in this case. This Tuesday Joe. Cole attended the training session as normal, and although both the club and the agent admitted afterwards that there was "bloodshed", they both expressed a calm attitude. Cole is also not prepared to file a lawsuit on this.

Fortunately, Mourinho, who has been strict with him, now has more important things to do.

First of all, there is the dispute with the Ghana national team over the return of Essien to participate in the Africa Cup of Nations. After suffering an ankle ligament strain in the match against West Ham two weeks ago, Mourinho reversed his previous attitude of "cheering" Essien and refused to allow the player to travel to Egypt.

According to the Daily Mirror, Essien has left the infirmary and equipment room to start running laps and outdoor stretching. It looks like he will be able to recover within a week, but Mourinho is concerned that playing in the Africa Cup of Nations will make Essien's injury worse. Although, according to FIFA rules, the Ghana FA can intervene. Asking Essien to join the squad in Egypt or banning players from playing at Chelsea during the Africa Cup of Nations does not seem to be enough to affect Mourinho, and the Portuguese will be able to give Essien a restful rest at Chelsea, even after the two-legged Champions League tie with Barcelona.

However, it is not only Essien who is in trouble, another defender, Macalele, has also been implicated in a transfer "money laundering case" recently. In a Swiss court investigation into the bankruptcy of Geneva Servit FC (the team where Arsenal defender Sandros played). Macalele's move to Chelsea from Madrid in June 2003 was seen as a matter of doubt.

Le Parisien began by questioning the 78-year-old for making three fake receipts worth 2.5 million euros in this transfer. Swiss Judge Mark Brown. Tabolette later admitted that an investigation was underway to collect evidence. Felipe is the third suspect of the club, which went bankrupt early last year, along with former owner Mark Murphy. Logor and Director Olivier. Maas. But that certainly doesn't make Mourinho feel troubled.

Even, Mourinho did not shy away from recruiting the old player Maniche into the team. The Portugal international has joined Jose Mourinho's squad for the third time. In a column for his country's newspaper Record last September, Mourinho even singled out Maniche's painful move to Russia, "until the transfer market reopens, it will be difficult for him to play." If George. It would be nice that Mendes [the agent] could find a club for him to accept him. ”

Eventually, the agent who helped Mourinho negotiate with Chelsea Mendes found Mourinho for Maniche. The left hand finds the right hand. Rent first. It's a good choice for both parties! On the other hand, Chelsea have opened their doors to West Ham after refusing to sign Johnson on loan to Portsmouth, ready to accept a £5 million offer from Johnson's former club.

There are a lot of people who are popular, but Chelsea Football Club has a good record, everything has become extraordinarily noticeable, and aside from their own games, off-field events always like to find Chelsea. Whether it's a transfer or some news that seems to catch the wind, the club's popularity is not ordinary!

Back to the game itself. On January 15, in the 22nd round of the league, Chelsea challenged Sunderland away, and Sunderland took the lead in the 11th minute of the opening game, Alka's cross from the left, Terry's header in the middle was hastily cleared, and Lawrence fired a low left-footed shot into the near corner from 16 yards on the right side of the penalty area.

Mourinho stood anxiously on the sidelines and counted the time from beginning to end, what was the young coach calculating? The reason is simple, Chelsea are once again standing at the cutting edge of history: a win over Sunderland would see them break the club record with 10 consecutive wins.

The previous run of nine wins came at the start of the season, before the streak came to an abrupt end when Chelsea were beaten 1-1 by then-vice-league leaders Everton, who struggled to draw 1-1 with Everton from 1-0 down. This time, the nine-game winning streak began after the defeat to Old Trafond, and in the 10th game, they once again met Sunderland, the vice-leaders of the league, and the gap between the two teams reached a staggering 52 points!

But judging from the competition, the gap is by no means that big......

Jose Mourinho fielded the strongest team he could put on the Northern Expedition, but although Frank Lampard showed his hunger for goals with frequent shots in the opening period, Chelsea did not really see any "light at the end".

Sunderland, on the other hand, used their simple and rough style of play to create more threatening opportunities. In the 12th minute, when John Terry cleared a cross from the left to the feet of Laurentian, the Sunderland number seven did not hesitate to send the ball into the door of the Cech. 1-0, like Everton, Chelsea are the first to fall behind!

Chelsea, who had already been conceded four times in the first half of the Premier League, did not panic and tried methodically and slowly, but it was Sunderland who gained confidence from the goal and kept moving quickly to the midfield to deliver the ball to goal. Frank Lampard swept the first three shots but seemed to have lost the feeling of scoring and Chelsea looked to have no hope of scoring.

But on 34 minutes, the accustomed Chelsea returned: Galla's cross from the right was headed back by Cole near the goal line, and Jonker in front of goal made no mistake to send the ball into the back of the net to equalise. An inaccurate cross – a midfielder struggling to turn an attempt into an opportunity – and the striker accurately slotting the ball into the back of the net is Chelsea's enduring way of scoring goals.

In this way, the score became 1-1. There has also been a subtle change in the tactical thinking of both teams. Chelsea, accustomed to settling battles in the second half; Sunderland, who were able to hold the leaders to a draw, were ready to fight to the end to keep the score. Thereupon. In the second half, Chelsea quickly took the initiative.

Frank Lampard cut in and Arjen Robben was active on the left flank, with both Joan Jonker and Arjen Robben having chances. But time and time again, Sunderland's goalkeeper Robinson was brave or lucky enough to keep the ball out.

Frank Lampard, who was oversized, looked to be trying to cede his accustomed position to Gudjohnsen, who became a true playmaker for Chelsea, while the former, as the latter often did, squandered chances, with the second-in-class World Footballer of the Year winner completing nine of Chelsea's 19 shots on target. Only four of them hit the target.

There was only one threat, far from the efficiency of his previous three times, when he always scored once. The real hero is Robben, 70 minutes. When tensions were starting to set in and Chelsea tried and couldn't find a solution, Arjen Robben and Gala combined down the right and fired a shot that bounced off the head of the opposition defender. 2 to 1.

But poor Robben was shown a red card by the referee for running over the billboard and celebrating with the fans because he was too excited. The Dutchman told reporters with a confused look on his face. "I didn't go into the audience, I just jumped over the billboards and celebrated with our fans, and I didn't deserve any warning." But the referee at the time told him: You led the fans to leave the audience.

Despite taking the lead, Mourinho did not make a passive substitution, but only used Carlton as planned. Kerr replaces Jonker.

Sunderland continued to attack Chelsea with their own high balls, while Jose Mourinho replaced Goodionsen with Hout in the final moments to strengthen his ability to defend high balls in the box. Defending well in the box and Chelsea held on to a 2-1 scoreline. But the image of the Premier League champions being pressed into the box by the vice-captain in the last 20 minutes also allowed the Sunderland players to walk out of the pitch with their heads held high.

Just like Mourinho's farewell words to McCarthy after the game: Good job!

After defeating Sunderland. Jose Mourinho changed his tune and said Chelsea could still make moves in the winter transfer. But it's not about bringing in reinforcements, it's about releasing people. "The transfer window is open until the end of January, anything is possible before that, new players? No, but if a player is going to leave and wants to find a better environment for himself to develop, it's still possible. I repeat, if someone very, really wants to go. ”

Who is the person who wants to leave? By all indications, England left-back Britsch is the most likely choice. Repeated injuries have dragged him down, and even after recovering from injury, Bridge has only started in the reserves, and Jose Mourinho has said he is looking forward to Bridge's return, but the situation is now that Orno and Gallas can both play at left wing-back, and the need for the English is no longer so desperate.

Bridge's situation is reminiscent of Parker, who left in the summer, and repeated injuries to the England midfielder caused Mourinho to lose patience and choose to let him go, and at Newcastle, Parker was once the most eye-catching midfielder for England and Eriksen, but now he is injured again and disappeared from the Magpies' squad.

Chelsea let go of left-back Baba Yaro last winter and now Bridge's departure is also possible. Although his position at Chelsea is no longer secure, there are still many people who want him.

It is reported that Fulham, also in London, has set Bridge as the preferred target for winter signings. Scottish Aberdeen's McNafton was due to try out at Fulham but was cancelled on an interim basis, with Aberdeen revealing that Fulham were eyeing Bridge.

'The trial was cancelled as Fulham resumed their pursuit of Chelsea England international Bridge. If he moves to Fulham, Bridge will be a regular player, which will be very beneficial for him to get into the England squad, and in a World Cup year, it will be very important for many internationals to be able to play, and Bridge has spoken to Mourinho about this, and the Portuguese has also expressed understanding.

Bridge had a glorious moment at Chelsea, scoring a crucial goal in Highbury in the Champions League 03/04 to knock out Arsenal, Arsenal, who had been pressing Chelsea all season, a goal that brought tears of happiness to Ranieri and a fateful moment that became a sweet memory for Chelsea.

Bridge wanted to go, another player was also caught up in transfer rumors, leaving the lace gossip, and Jonk was once again linked to the transfer rumors, this time not from the two giants of La Liga, but from Serie A, which was somewhat declining. According to the news from The Sun, Serie A giants AC Milan are interested in bringing in the teenage talent of Jonker.

The biggest possibility is to put the team's goalscorer Wang Shepchenko into this transfer, and it is not a matter of a day or two that Chelsea will be interested in Ukrainian nuclear warheads. Now that both teams have found players interested in each other, it is also a good thing for the media to see both teams taking what they need, and Shepchenko's value will definitely not be less than 50 million euros, and such a blockbuster transfer will definitely attract attention.

It seems that all the rumors released by AC Milan are testing Chelsea's attitude towards Joanke. In fact, it has been labeled as not for sale within the club early on, and everyone looks at it as a joke to treat this incident as a joke, and respond? Are you kidding. Not responding is the best response!

It seemed impossible to everyone, but Jonker himself had a ripple in his heart, not because of the team's problems, but because of his own training. Needless to say, Italian beauties. MM here in the UK is definitely not as good as Italy's, and the style of football, where is the strongest defensive intensity, of course, it is Italy, the originator of defense!

It was Campbell's words that started Jonker's idea of going out for a walk, and this seemingly absurd transfer rumor made Jonker move his mind.

Whether to go to Italy or not, in fact the club will not be too much of an obstacle to his relationship with Abu. Others can't go, but he says he can go. That's for sure, but it's not a good time to say goodbye because the Champions League knockout rounds are about to start and the season is just halfway through.

Transfer rumors aside, the unlucky England international and Chelsea midfielder Joe Cole has been in trouble recently, just because of a one-night affair with the coquettish third-version girl Keeley, he was violently beaten by Keeley's ex-boyfriend Miller, and his face was bloody. But Miller apparently didn't want to give up yet, and recently he sent Cole a series of death threats, claiming to cut Cole's throat, which scared Cole into the tremble.

Miller even drew a picture of him bleeding from Cole's beating, and sent it to Chelsea's training ground, with Kerr's name clearly written on the envelope. A Chelsea FC insider said Cole was "pale" after receiving the letter. Miller threatened Cole, "I'm going to cut off your legs, break your arms, and then cut your neck." On the day of your funeral, I'll celebrate it a bit. ”

Miller also attached a photo of a player in a blue striped shirt with a line drawn around the player's neck, suggesting that this was where Miller wanted to cut Cole. Cole was allegedly concerned about Miller's threat, but instead of calling the police, he tore the letter to shreds and threw it in the trash.

To say that Cole is really unlucky, in fact, on the night of the incident, he was just invited by Keeley to her house to sit down, of course, the two also had some affectionate actions, but it was just kissing and hugging, and before the matter had developed to a substantive stage, Miller suddenly broke in, and couldn't help but say that he punched Cole's head, and Cole was immediately knocked unconscious. Miller, 19, later said he hit Cole because he saw Cole being disrespectful to Keeley.

In the case of torn clothes, lost his mobile phone, and the money on his body was gone, Cole finally escaped from Keeley's house alive and took a taxi home, at that time he still had multiple scars on his body, Cole wanted to think that he was unlucky, but he didn't expect Miller to be unrelenting, and I don't know if Cole would consider going to court with Miller this time.

The transfer and gossip focus in the media reports, Jonk and Joe Cole are still in the starting lineup against Charlton.

No one expected that against the fish belly team, Chelsea, who were weak at home, only got a draw, 1:1, and Chelsea's only goal in this game had something to do with Jonker, it was his goal that helped Gudjohnsen to block the goal after the opposing goalkeeper got rid of it.

The 11-game winning streak in the league came to an end; The chance of equalling Newcastle's record with 14 consecutive home wins also came to an abrupt end. That's just because Chelsea drew at home to Charlton Athletic last Sunday. Since losing 2-1 at Stamford Bridge to Arsenal at the end of 2003, Chelsea have lost just once here in more than two years – a penalty shoot-out defeat to Charlton Athletic in the first leg of this season's Carabao Cup.

The last time it was Darren. Bent, this time, is Marcus. Bent. Chelsea were stopped twice by Bent and, thankfully, they were not eliminated after the draw......

A draw won't stop Mourinho's ambitions to build a 'home of terror', and the record of Stamford Bridge not conceding in 90 minutes in more than two years is chilling enough. But since Roman Abramovich's arrival, the terrifying home stadium has had a "mission" to be completed: to make more fans proudly here.

Chelsea's home attendance has been poor in the Champions League, but the league is almost full. Another problem arose: a Premier League champion team wanted to build an era, but the 42,500-seat stadium capacity did not seem to meet Chelsea's ambitions to build a superclub, so the expansion of the stadium became a topic that began to be on the agenda after Abou took over.

After Kenyon took office, he directly proposed to expand the stadium to more than 50,000 yuan, which would not only increase revenue, but also probably reduce the criticism that Chelsea's home ticket prices were too high. However, given Stamford Bridge's location in the heart of London, there is very little room for expansion, and Chelsea seem to be starting to relocate and build a new stadium.

Last week, The Independent reported that Chelsea were very interested in the Earls Court Convention and Exhibition Centre near Stamford Bridge (just a 15-minute walk from Stamford Bridge), which would cost Abou £400 million to buy the land, and £500 million from selling Stamford Bridge, which would be enough money for the construction of the new stadium.

But Chelsea Football Club denied the rumours the next day: "Chelsea are now going to be linked to any vacant space in London, from Wembley and the Olympic Stadium to Chelsea and Kensington Hospital, and we are doing everything possible to expand the number of seats in the stadium. But local senators believe 50,000 people could throw Chelsea's upscale neighbourhood into chaos on matchday, and the rumours off the pitch continue anyway......

But the most important thing for them at the moment is that on the pitch, the win needs to continue. Although Charlton Athletic have lost their last four away games, scoring 11 goals, they have come to Stamford Bridge with a fearless face, having taken out the Big Mac last time out and continuing to attack bravely.

Chelsea continued to be methodical, with Duff missing a first-on-one chance on 13 minutes, and six minutes later, Jonker's header was blocked by the goalkeeper before Gudjohnsen made a stop-up shot, and although Kiszchev blocked the ball on the goal line, the linesman nodded affirmatively that the ball had crossed the line. Two minutes later, Joe. Cole's right-footed freestyle pass almost set up Lampard to score on a backcut.

In the end, Chelsea threatened every free-kick in the first half and dominated the game, but the score was only 1-0.

Luke. Young knocked down his winger Romedalard on the first half, only to have to be beaten early by Marcus. Bent came on and Kobyshli changed the formation from 451 to 442, which quickly worked in the second half.

Almost every dangerous attack from Charlton Athletic has come from the space the Charlton striker has found between the centre-backs of the two Chelsea zones. In the 59th minute, Marcus, who had just changed his club. Bent had good luck when Ambrosse crossed the ball down the left and Marcus cut in from behind to head the ball in between Terry and Carvalho.

Mourinho quickly replaced Duff and Macalele with Wright Jr. and Manisi, but Wright Jr. couldn't find his way. The Portuguese made a desperate bet with Carlton in the final ten minutes. Cole replaced Orno to step up the attack, but Carvalho was sent off two minutes later with a second yellow card.

This is also the second game in a row in which a player has been shown a red card for Chelsea, and the third time since Jose Mourinho took charge! The defending champions were left with only two players at the back, and Cech had to make a save on Ambrosse in the 83rd minute.

Chelsea weren't without chances, as Jonker's solo shot was misjudged offside by the linesman – and in both games, Mourinho understood the referee but did not appear to have been reciprocated for mercy. Ferguson and Rafael Benitez, who were about to play the game, then received the good news from Sky TV reporters about Chelsea's draw: "We don't think about them, we have to be ourselves. The Spaniard doesn't care and knows that a draw won't be enough to stop Chelsea from defending their title...... (To be continued......)
