Chapter 470: Dismissing the power

Gerald ran around the stadium with his arms waving his arms. Although the stadium is in Newham, although it will not be like Brisbane Road, whenever Leiden East scores a goal, even outside the stadium, the cheers of fans who did not buy tickets to enter the stadium to watch the game, he still seemed extremely excited.

After shooting a penalty kick in the Champions League final last season, it was obviously impossible to say that Gerald was not affected at all. The penalty kick he missed was probably the biggest blow he had in his career. Even in the quarterfinals of the Champions League last season, he would not have been so big - because Barack did show his peak state at that time, and Barack's performance in the next season was much worse than last season. Gerald was confident that if he met Barack again, he would not lose to his opponent. However, the situation in that final was different. He shot a penalty kick. Although he was not the only one who shot a penalty kick in Leiden East, he was his biggest blow and the biggest humiliation for Gerald, who had a strong self-esteem.

So this summer, Gerald, who was on vacation, was not only resting well, but also constantly training to make himself stronger. Players of his level and type basically had no weaknesses. If you want to become better, you are nothing more than slowly improving yourself in various technical links, while increasing your physical fitness to make your state more stable and become better when you explode.

It is obvious that Gerald's efforts this summer were not in vain, so he was the one who performed the best in the Community Shield and the first game of the league. Even players of superstar level such as Figo Ronaldo could not hide his brilliance.

Watching Gerald running wildly on the court, the cheers of fans of Leiden Orient in the stands suppressed thousands of Chelsea fans' voices. Abram, who was watching the ball in the stands, looked ugly. He spent 70 million pounds of transfer fees to enhance the team's strength. Is this the result that he has to wait for?

However, he was still sober and knew that it would take time to build a strong team. The team had just started the official game and the main lineup had been changed a lot. It was not good news to face a strong opponent like Leiden East at the beginning. At the same time, his team had not yet been built in place... These are all reasons.

But being suppressed by Leiden Oriental in this way is indeed a bit embarrassing...

"How could he be so bad!" Abu said gritting his teeth, looking like he was muttering to himself, but in fact he was asking Kennyon beside him.

He is not a boss who knows how to be a good boss. It is precisely because of this that the two of them cooperated well in the next few years after Mourinho took over. Abu showed the style of a boss who most satisfyes the head coaches of the world - he is rich, willing to invest, not know how to be a good person, and does not interfere!

However, a few years later, especially after Mourinho won two league championships but was unable to break through to the finals in the Champions League, Abu became dissatisfied and began to reach the club. Buying Barack and Shepchenko without Mourinho's consent was just the beginning. What made Mourinho most dissatisfied was that Israeli Grant became Chelsea's technical director. In Mourinho's opinion, he still needs someone to provide technical guidance?

In the final analysis, the conflict between Abu and Mourinho comes from Abu not only wants to be a person who pays money, but also hopes that he can become the God in the minds of Chelsea fans. This is of course what Mourinho, who is the first and second, cannot bear.

"It seems that Ranieri's request is reasonable. In other positions, we are not inferior to Leiden Oriental. Even if it is worse than Leiden Oriental, it will not be much worse. The main reason is that the two positions are not as good as the opponent - one midfielder and the other center." Kenyon is of course much more knowledgeable than Abbot. After thinking about it, he said: "Your compatriots are completely suppressed by the opponent. His poor defense in the middle forced Perron to retreat at the position. Goodjohansen is not a suitable single forward. He does not have the ability to fight alone. However, Leiden Oriental's performance today is also quite outstanding. Our performance is not bad. Except Leiden Oriental, perhaps no team in the league can play us like this."

"League? There are Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool. Even if we are strong in the league and the Champions League, can we only have such a little strength?" Although Kennyon said this, Abu was also very annoyed: "Kenyang, no matter what, a top midfielder and a top forward must get it for me."

Kenion agreed with a wry smile. It is not very difficult for top strikers. There are not many top strikers in the European arena now. Although no matter who buys them, they will pay a lot of price, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can still buy an excellent striker. What's more, Mutu will be able to play soon. The level of this poisonous snake is still quite outstanding, but the top midfielder - God, you are the top midfielder who is the cabbage in the field, and you can pick it if you want to?

Leiden Oriental has been very glorious in the European transfer market over the years, but look at their composition. The forwards are buying one by one, and the attack midfielder is also increasing one by one. Not to mention the central defender, he bought Marklele in the first year of entering the Premier League. He is still Marklele. Even finding a suitable substitute makes Xiao Ming very troubled. Another Real Madrid, which is also glorious, has only one Cambiaso in the midfield position, who has been loaned out by Real Madrid. For this reason, Bosque even transformed Mundeta, who was originally one of the best right forwards in the world, into an engineer's midfielder...

Barcelona, ​​Cocu, who is more than 30 years old, is still the main player, and is one of the few people left by the Netherlands after Van Gaal was dismissed. AC Milan, Gattuso, who originally made AC Milan look down on him, became the main player of AC Milan and the most indispensable person in the midfield. Inter Milan until last season, Di Biagio, who is more than 30 years old, was still the best performer. Manchester United has Keane, Arsenal has Vieira, but they are also the kind of players that are completely irreplaceable...

Kenyon knew what the top level Abu said was, of course he knew, but can he buy that level of back midfielder easily with money? Just stop kidding.

After taking the lead, Leiden East's offensive slowed down, and Chelsea's offense gradually organized. After all, they are still quite outstanding in the offensive strength in the middle and wings.

Veron's long pass created a chance for Duff to break through. The Irish winger forced his way into the penalty area and shot, but Daniel stepped forward first. Five minutes later, Veron's accurate midfielder created an opportunity for Goodjohansen to be a nearly one-on-one. However, under the attack of Campbell and Lucio who were returning to defense, the Icelandic striker obviously weakened his feet. Although the ball he shot was very strong, the angle was not tricky. Jasqueline flew over and threw the ball under him.

Leiden Oriental also created many opportunities. Ronaldo's shot after breaking through and Figo's free kick made Cudicini use his fastest reaction before saving the ball. At the end of the first half, the score was 1-0 and the number of shots was 11-5. Leiden Oriental's advantage was quite obvious.

However, Xiao Ming could also feel that although he seemed to have an advantage on the court, Abu's tens of millions of pounds were indeed not spent in vain. At least Glenn Johnson, Wayne Bridge, two young players who already have the strength of the England national team made Chelsea's already aged defense line more energetic. Although these two fell out of favor after Mourinho took office, that was because Mourinho had a better choice, not because their strength was problematic.

Although Gremy is not a star, he has been playing a substitute for Real Madrid for several years. His offense and defense are quite balanced, and he has excellent running and physical fitness. Duff is one of the few Chelsea's worthwhile introductions this season. Although Peron's performance at Chelsea this season is as tragic as when he was at Manchester United, his ability is still quite good, at least in this game, he performed quite well.

Compared with Chelsea, which had a good performance last season but mostly veterans, although Chelsea is still very immature, its development momentum is quite considerable.

"Chelsea must try to counterattack in the second half... Although Ranieri is very steady, with a new boss taking over, he must be more active no matter how he takes it. In the second half, they may replace Joe Cole, and may replace Hasselbaink. No matter who is replaced, they will definitely replace offensive players. So in the second half, we have to strengthen our defense a little, and we cannot give up the offensive. We cannot give up the advantage of the wing. Steven, in this way, your pressure in the middle will become very large. Do you have confidence?"

"No matter it is Perron or Lampard, I will not let them suppress me in the midfield." Gerald said firmly.

It was also seen that Gerald was in good condition today, so Xiao Ming nodded with confidence, turned to laugh at the other players: "We are lucky today. Steven is in such an excellent condition, so our victory will be much easier."

The players laughed one after another, and Gerald was not angry, but just shrugged. It was a good state that he was in good shape, and there was no need to be pretentious.

"Okay, I'm not too worried about defense. Their main players have changed half of the players, and there are big problems with their cooperation, and our defense is not paper-based, so what we have to do is continue to score goals. Although Gala has excellent physical fitness and good defense, he is not stable. He is far worse than Marcel and Toulam in defense! Terry is a young man, but Gala is a point we can use to attract him from the penalty area, and Chelsea's defense will be vacant. Ronnie, maybe you can choose to pull out the penalty area and then shake that guy over."

"Okay, look at me!" Ronaldo said confidently.

"That's all. Be careful of their counterattack, attack if you have the opportunity, control the ball more frequently in the midfield and strengthen your running. I don't want you to be a group of lazy guys, and you don't need to worry that no one will replace you after you lose your energy. There are many members of our first team this season, and you have to let your teammates get more opportunities to play." Xiao Ming said at the end.

After the second half began, Ranieri was indeed substituted.

Although he has always been a very steady coach, falling behind Leiden Oriental in the first half of the away game is not a shame for any team, but no matter what, a new rich boss has come, who can be satisfied with anyone he wants. After spending so much money in the transfer market, if he is willing to lose a small away game, then let alone Abram, even Ranieri himself feels that he can no longer have the face to stay in the position of Chelsea head coach.

So, change people!

Joe Cole came on, and replaced Smertin who performed extremely embarrassingly in the first half. Ranieri ignored the Russian midfielder who was the boss's compatriot. After Joe Cole came on the court, he appeared in the right forward position, while Gremi served as the midfielder defense. The Cameroonian was originally a versatile player, and he could play in all positions on the right and back midfielders.

Another Chelsea player Good Johnson, who performed the worst in the first half, also ended. It was not that he was not strong enough, but because he faced too strong and could not get any support in the midfield, he performed extremely poorly. The only time he played a single shot without any threat.

He was on the bench and Hasselbaink, a Dutch veteran, is a well-known scorer. One of his big characteristics is that he can always get a very good position in the scorer list, but his team cannot go further - Chelsea and Leeds are fine, but they just haven't won the championship. However, in Atletico Madrid's season, he was second only to Salva in the La Liga scorer list, but Atletico Madrid was relegated...

His technical characteristics are difficult to describe. His speed is not particularly fast, his body is not very strong, and his skills are not very outstanding, but he can score goals anyway - from this point of view, he is an opportunistic shooter similar to Da Inzaghi.

His appearance brought great trouble to Leiden Oriental's defense. Lucio and Campbell were both central defenders who were not afraid of confrontation, but they did not have the ability to defend without leaking the water like Deselli at their peak. Hasselbainke was a forward who did not fight against the defender but ran around looking for opportunities, so his running brought a lot of threat to Leiden Oriental's defense.

Unfortunately, Leiden East's victory is often not achieved through defense, but rather by offense.

Although Hasselbaink has caused a lot of trouble for Leiden East's defense, Leiden East has caused a little more trouble for Chelsea's defense.

In the 51st minute, Cole, who assisted forward, made a cross, and Fanny from the middle headed the ball and missed the far post.

In the 56th minute, Ronaldo's pass created a long-range shot for Gerald, but Gerald's powerful long-range shot was saved by Cudicini from the baseline, Figo took a corner kick, and Campbell headed the ball high under Terry's defense.

In the 63rd minute, Chelsea counterattacked. After Perron broke through, the baseline was passed back. Haselbainke, who followed, made a kick, but Lucio flew to block the ball from the baseline. Chelsea's corner kick also failed to create any threat. Campbell's cleared ball was taken by Marklele. The Frenchman passed it horizontally to Lucio who suddenly inserted it. Lucio dribbled the ball straight to Chelsea's half. It was not until the 30-meter area that he handed the ball to Ronaldo. Ronaldo quickly cut into the penalty area. Bridge, who returned to defense, was forced to reach out and pull the alien to the ground. The referee decisively awarded a penalty kick!

"Beautiful job!" Xiao Ming and McDonald celebrated. It was Gala who rushed out rashly just now that he was tricked by Ronaldo outside the penalty area and had this penalty kick. No wonder Gala, a top-notch physical defense versatile player, has never been able to maintain the position of the main center back at Chelsea, and can only occasionally have bright spots at the full-back position...

Figo gave the penalty to Ronaldo. Ronaldo was not polite and directly hit the penalty he created into the goal. Cudicini saved the wrong direction.

2 to zero, Leiden Oriental secured the victory!

After gaining a two-goal lead, Xiao Ming began to substitution, Ronaldo replaced Figo, while Pirlo replaced Ronaldo, who scored, and Leiden East changed its lineup for 451, and began to use counterattacks to entangle the opponent more.

Chelsea, who was two goals behind, launched a fierce attack, but Leiden East, who had already begun to move into defense, kept using midfield steals to interrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm. After getting the ball, it was handed over to two Ronaldos on the side of the frontcourt to allow them to play freely. With enough space, Ronaldo and Ronaldo's personal breakthroughs were fully played. Even if they could not directly pose a threat to the opponent's goal, each attack forced Chelsea to have to return to defense to grab the ball.

Although Hasselbaink calmly scored and scored a point after receiving a straight pass from Perron, two minutes later, Ronaldo broke through on the wing and was saved by Cudicini. Fanny shot into the net like lightning, expanding his leading advantage to two goals again.

In the end, Leiden Oriental, who was at home, defeated Chelsea three-to-one, and achieved a good start to the season, verifying the analysis that Leiden Oriental had the advantage that most media identified before the game...

When leaving Upton Park Stadium, Abu's face was so heavy that water was about to drip. Although Xiao Ming did not see this scene, he could almost guess what Abu was thinking.

Mr. Abu, you should know that the Premier League is not that easy to do, right? But then again, I will help you understand the Premier League faster...
