One to zero.

Grant was quite happy to see the football fly into the goal on the sidelines. Although it was just a warm-up match, it was also a publicly broadcast game. Fans would see the game. At the same time, this was also his first game to coach Chelsea. If he couldn't win and played too poorly, then he would definitely be under a lot of pressure.

As long as you can score goals and win, you will be much better.

In fact, since becoming Chelsea head coach, Grant has been under a lot of pressure. Everyone in the club knows that the reason why he became the team's head coach is just because the team really can't find a good coach in the summer. In order not to delay preparing for the new season, he took this position.

How many people expect Grant’s abilities are?

Everyone thinks that the team is very strong, and it is natural to play good results. It is of course a problem with Grant's ability - leading such a strong Chelsea, the results are not good, is there anything else to say?

This situation was unexpected by Grant.

But now he has to face it. He knows that if the club and fans recognize him, they must achieve better results - better than Mourinho. It is not only the league champion, but also the Champions League champion.

The league championship must be won, and the Champions League final must be entered, otherwise by the next summer, he will have to pack up his things and leave.

It sounds very demanding, but in fact, more world-class coaches are eager to have such an opportunity. As long as they succeed, they can directly enter the ranks of world-class coaches.

Grant's chance to be the Chelsea coach.

An opportunity like this is inevitable, so Grant still attaches great importance to the first warm-up match, and he must explain to the fans with good results.

He was still a little worried at the beginning of the game, mainly because the team did not do much good in terms of cooperation. It was obvious that Zhang Tiehan was not very adaptable to the team, but it was understandable that Zhang Tiehan was only the first time he played against the team. But what he didn't expect was that in this case, only such an opportunity was that Zhang Tiehan pushed the ball into the goal.

Grant had to sigh in his heart - he is indeed a world-class striker shooter!

He had been thinking about how to arrange Chelsea's gorgeous frontcourt before, but now seeing this goal, he already knew that no matter how he arranged it, Zhang Tiehan would definitely occupy a main position, not just the main force of the rotation lineup. Most games have to let him start.

In Grant's heart, Zhang Tiehan has become a positioning player like Lampard.

The one who played the most Chelsea last season was undoubtedly Lampard. Lampard played all the leagues and was very few when he was substituted. In addition to Cups, Champions League and other events, Lampard played too much. Grant placed Zhang Tiehan's appearance on the same position as Lampard, which means that he has truly become the main force among the team's main players who often play in the new season.

...

A goal may not fully represent anything, but the players of the Major League All-Stars are still very depressed.

Even though they were a little mentally prepared, the Major League All-Stars still didn't expect the opponent's goal to come so quickly. Although this was just a commercial warm-up match, such a fast goal was a bit too bad, especially the goal was Zhang Tiehan, who was provocating before the game.

Facing Zhang Tiehan, they were a little powerless.

Just like their captain Donovan feels like this at this time, he keeps defending. He feels that the opponent is not in good cooperation, but with a simple opportunity, the opponent can grasp it and directly score the ball. This efficiency is really desperate.

Donovan understands the gap between American football and European football.

Now their team is equivalent to the American team. It is not first-class but not very bad. It is not surprising that it can enter the top 32 of the World Cup and qualifies in the group. But facing Chelsea, it is scored in just one chance in just ten minutes. This is the strength of the world's top team.

"Be serious and play well!" Donovan shouted and reminded his teammates.

He is still very appealing in the eyes of American players. After all, he is Captain America. Even in the Major League, Donovan is a very famous player. When he shouts like this, the morale of the Major League All-Stars players has been greatly boosted.

The game has just begun, and conceding a goal is nothing.

Soon under the leadership of the referee, the game started again. At this time, the American fans who came to watch the game were much more energetic. In fact, football is not very popular in the United States. Most of the American fans here are not pure fans. Many of them prefer rugby or basketball. Most of the football is just a fun place, and there are very few fans who support the team.

They came to the scene not to support the Major League All-Stars.

If you want to talk about the mentality of American fans watching the game on the spot, you can probably describe it in three points. A small number of fans are indeed here to face the All-Star team of the Major League. They also watch the Major League games on weekdays, so they come over to support their favorite stars.

The second point is to watch Chelsea.

The ratings of the World Cup are still very high in the United States. Even if you are not a pure fan, you will watch this world's top event. In fact, the ratings of the World Cup can catch up with most of Europe in the United States, and the United States is a considerable market.

I just experienced the World Cup, and many American fans have known Zhang Tiehan. Zhang Tiehan is definitely one of the most important topics in the World Cup. Zhang Tiehan is in Chelsea, and Chelsea has many other fans participating in the World Cup. In the eyes of many fans, even if you look at these world football stars on site, it is enough to get the ticket price back.

The last point is to watch the fun.

These are not fans. They just heard that Chelsea, a big European team, came to Chicago to play a game with the Major League All-Stars. They don’t know the name of Chelsea, and they don’t know what stars they have. But they know that they know, so more than a dozen teams in the Major League will select outstanding players to form a team and then play football with the European teams that come.

It can be imagined that this European team must be very strong.

So they came and came to see the fun of the game. They also killed the time...

No matter what the reason is, American fans actually have one thing in common, that is, they hope that the game will be more lively and more beautiful. In the eyes of many American fans, the more intense the game, the better. What should I rely on for intense? That is the goal!

Zhang Tiehan didn't know what Grant was thinking. Of course, this was not important. It was more important that the game was still very easy for him. This was not a major event. Naturally, he was not in the mood to retreat to defend. If that would not help the team, it would probably disrupt the team's formation.

It's also good to be a forward who is lazily in the frontcourt who is at the forefront of the formation.

In comparison, Drogba is a bit busy. He has been at Chelsea for more than two seasons. Even if he doesn't have any defensive tasks in the game, he will also retreat appropriately in terms of positioning and other aspects. In this way, the two forwards who were originally side by side, but in terms of formation, Zhang Tiehan was at the forefront, and Drogba was a little behind.

But no one said anything more about it.

In the eyes of most people, Zhang Tiehan and Drogba are actually repetitive. Both are tall players and are very strong. Zhang Tiehan has more comprehensive abilities, but when he thinks about his height and figure, he subconsciously feels that he is most suitable for playing high center forward. He is also good at heading the ball, so it is not surprising that he is at the front.

This time, Zhang Tiehan got a chance at the forefront.

The strength of the Major League All-Stars is not very poor, and in fact, their offensive threat is not small. This time they completed excellent offensive cooperation, made a quick breakthrough on the wing, and found an opportunity for the players who were inserted into the back to cross. The captain Dovano in the penalty area headed the ball and directly hit Terry.

The football flew out.

Joe Cole was near the penalty area and directly cleared the frontcourt with big feet.

The ball is very powerful and plays very well, so it will be sent directly to the major league penalty area, as if waiting for the opponent's goalkeeper to attack and get the ball. But many people did not expect that Zhang Tiehan, who had been "idle" in the frontcourt, rushed forward after Joe Cole kicked the ball with his big foot.

When the football landed, Zhang Tiehan was only more than one meter away from the football.

But he still didn't catch up. Seeing the football bounce high and about to fly into the penalty area, Zhang Tiehan was still running and chasing the ball. His speed was really fast enough to catch up with the football's speed. However, the football still rushed very quickly, and the goalkeeper of the Major League All-Stars also attacked.

This time it's a confrontation between the two!

The goalkeeper of the Major League All-Stars was still a little panicked. Because the football was talking loudly, he wanted to find a position to hold the ball, but when he was optimistic about running forward, Zhang Tiehan had already rushed to the ball.

The two rushed towards the football almost at the same time.

Zhang Tiehan jumped high, as if he wanted to head the ball, while the goalkeeper of the Major League All-Star team had to hold the ball with both hands. Everyone in the game looked over and paid close attention to the confrontation between the two. However, in this case, it is difficult for offensive players to have any chance, mainly because the goalkeeper can use his hands. The offensive players can only use their heads, which is too big. Raising their hands high and then jumping up can take advantage of it. If an offensive player has physical contact with the goalkeeper, it is easy to cause a foul on the goalkeeper.

The goalkeeper of the Major League All-Stars thinks the same.

He stood steadily, and when it was almost time to jump up and catch the ball, but at this moment, he suddenly realized that the guy in front of him was a little faster.

Just one point! But enough!

He almost watched the opponent push the ball to the side, but at this time his legs had already jumped up hard, but he received nothing. Zhang Tiehan passed by him, rushed to the goal, and stopped after crossing the goal line.

The audience was stunned.

Both of them reacted quickly, the football rolled to the side, the goalkeeper of the Major League All-Stars quickly went over to hold the ball, and Zhang Tiehan also turned around and rushed over, but Zhang Tiehan got the ball first, and the goalkeeper was about to save it. Just when everyone was thinking about how Zhang Tiehan would deal with it, they found that he shot with his heels almost secretly in an instant.

A kick back with a heel!

The football rolled over from the goalkeeper's foot and rolled directly into the goal.

Two to zero!

The whole game was in an uproar, mainly because the goal process was too ups and downs. Many players from the Major League All-Star team regretted not chasing back. They didn't expect the goalkeeper to not grab the ball. You know, the goalkeeper can use both hands... and the American fans don't have that much thought. They just thought the goalkeeper and Zhang Tiehan were very interesting just now, and the ball was very fierce, and it seemed to have turned into a game of rugby, not football.

Very interesting.

Then, many fans immediately burst into cheers.

They felt that their support was not in vain, let’s see! Now this guy scored another goal, and the two goals in the whole game were all this guy. He did it so beautifully!

So the shouts of "Zhang!Zhang!" at the scene became even more intense.

In fact, for many local Chicago fans, it is still difficult to pronounce the "Zhang" in the Chicago accent. "Zhang" has even been pronounced as "zang" or even "ang", or just a "ah", but this does not affect everyone's know whose name they are calling.

There are so many players on the scene, only Zhang Tiehan is the only one who pronounces the sound!

And he just scored the goal!

So the scene seemed to be completed and turned into Zhang Tiehan's home court... That's right, it was Zhang Tiehan's home court, not Chelsea's home court, nor the home court of the Major League All-Stars, or Zhang Tiehan's home court alone.

This very interesting thing made many players very jealous of Zhang Tiehan.

Even Chelsea teammates...

They came to the United States to participate in the commercial warm-up match. As a result, American fans supported Zhang Tiehan alone... This is really, well, it is difficult to accept, but the reality is that. No matter how jealous they are, they cannot stop American fans from being enthusiastic about Zhang Tiehan. As for other Chelsea players, they have been ignored by many fans.

...

The game started again soon.

The depression of the All-Star players in the Major League League is imagined. They lost two goals. They were originally a home game, but the fans all went to support the opponent's players. This game was really sad.

They just hope the team can recover some disadvantages.

At least catch up with one ball?

It has to be said that American players are very sportsmanlike, which may be related to their educational environment. No matter how passive the game is, they actually participate in the game. Enjoy more important than the real victory or defeat contest. Even if they are passive, they will not give up on the game.

So when they attacked again, they still kicked fiercely.

But at this time, Chelsea led two goals, and without pressure, everyone played very easily, so the Major League All-Stars could not play any advantage.

Compared to Chelsea, the two teams are similar in terms of physicality. American players are both strong, but Chelsea players are also strong. They are not weak Spain, Portugal, and South American players. They are all players who are in the Premier League, and their physical strength is a big advantage.

In terms of technology, Chelsea has some advantages.

Every Chelsea player has good skills, and the English player's skills are relatively rough, but compared to American players, they still have some advantages, especially many frontcourt players, such as Zhang Tiehan, Joe Cole and others, whose skills are much better than American players.

Chelsea’s biggest advantage lies in its technical and tactical aspects.

As a top-level team that Mourinho has "trained", Chelsea has played very well in his skills and tactics. Even though there are many new players in the team in the summer, Lampard, Terry and other core players are still there, and their skills and tactics are one level higher than the opponent.
To be continued...
