Chelsea's February schedule starts with the league with Blackburn on the 1st, which is the focus of the 25th round of the English Premier League. Blackburn has performed quite well this season, and they are currently ranked seventh in the league, but Chelsea finally beat Blackburn 3-0 at Stamford Bridge Stadium.⊥

In this game, Lampard assisted Zhang Tiehan to score the first goal, then Drogba shot a heavy shot and scored the second goal, and Karau added icing on the cake to score the third goal.

The three players played in the frontcourt and each scored one goal, and Chelsea showed an extraordinary form.

After playing against Blackburn, Chelsea began to face the complicated schedule. The first thing they had to face was the FA Cup opponent Ipswich. This was the fifth round of the FA Cup. Chelsea was lucky. At that time, the winners of Blackpool and Ipswich were drawn. The two teams were going to play extra games, so the draw was still before the game, but in any case, it was difficult for both teams to pose a threat to Chelsea. The only suspense was who Chelsea’s opponent was.

Ipswich finally defeated Blackpool, so they met Chelsea. Just like those football commentators and various media thought, Ipswich really hardly poses any threat to Chelsea. This English Championship team that is good at defending really only knows how to defend. They performed well in defense in the whole game, but it is far from enough to defeat Chelsea in this way. Moreover, no team in the world dares to say that they can face Chelsea and defend the goal, so Ipswich naturally cannot do it. In the end, they lost two goals to Chelsea. This was the result of Boas replacing Zhang Tiehan in the second half.

Next is the League Cup semi-finals, with Chelsea's opponent being Tottenham Hotspur.

Tottenham has achieved good results this season. They have made a breakthrough in the League Cup. The semi-finals of the League Cup are two rounds. The first round will be played at Stamford Bridge Stadium. This home game. Chelsea won 3:1. Drogba helped Chelsea break the deadlock, and Zhang Tiehan scored the next two goals for the team. However, Tottenham Hotspur is a team that is good at attacking in England. They have very strong offensive ability. They got a lot of opportunities in the second half. They finally broke the goal of Cech's handle. The final result of this game was 3:1. The two teams had to play the second round at White Hart Lane to determine which team advanced to the final.

However, the public opinion is that Tottenham has little chance.

"Unless Boas does not allow Zhang to play, Tottenham Hotspur will not have a chance." Former famous England star Gascoin commented on the game between the two teams.

As you can see throughout the game, Zhang Tiehan has a strong deterrence against Tottenham Hotspur. For teams like Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur who are good at offense and have always used offensive tactics to play. The biggest trouble for stars with very strong personal abilities is because their defense is difficult to limit the personal performance of these stars, which may be the helplessness of offensive football.

So Zhang Tiehan performed very actively throughout the game. He alone restrained the entire Tottenham Hotspur's defense and offensive rhythm, forcing Tottenham Hotspur to take into account the defense while attacking. In this case, if the offense is not allowed to be free, the performance will be even worse.

This is also the biggest reason why Tottenham Hotspur lost.

On the contrary, Chelsea's overall performance was not very good, and Lampard and Barack both made many mistakes in the game. Shepchenko, who replaced Drogba in the second half, performed very mediocrely and had almost no gains, but Chelsea still won, so they defeated Zhang Tiehan.

But the game is over and nothing is meaningless. Tottenham Hotspur probably wants to seize the opportunity in the next round. But even they themselves know that their chances are really not great.

Next are two league games.

On February 10, Chelsea challenged Charlton away and finally won the game 1:0 with a difficult 1:0; on the 13th, Chelsea faced Middlesbrough at home. In the end, the two teams played 2:1.

Both victories came in a difficult situation.

Many media also complain about Chelsea's performance, but at this time some media discovered something amazing - since Boas took office as Chelsea coach, Chelsea has been winning and not even a draw!

This is quite surprising.

In Chelsea's game, it is difficult to see the difference between this team Chelsea and Grant coached, but Chelsea has been in the whole game until now. They still tied Manchester United's points in the league and narrowly beat Manchester United to return to the top of the league with a slight advantage of goal difference.

This is really amazing!

It is hard to imagine that after a series of internal problems arise, the change of coach suddenly broke out. Many media also discussed this issue, but it is difficult for them to come up with any results, so they are preparing to interview Chelsea players and ask the results of this question.

But in fact, the Chelsea players were also confused.

They actually felt that Boas did nothing, but the team was winning all the time.

However, there are still people who know the reasons, such as Zhang Tiehan, who knows very well what Boas did.

Boas has had more knowledge about Chelsea than Grant has in his two and a half seasons. He knows very well that Chelsea is a very strong team now. Just relying on the team to play freely is enough to compete with top teams, let alone conduct the game in an organized and tactical manner. He just adjusts the internal situation, reduces conflicts, and follows the game lineup in the most reasonable way.

When arranging the lineup, Boas won't consider any stars or stars.

In fact, he didn't have to do this.

After Grant took over Chelsea, he really has no status in the team. Every time he arranges a lineup, he has to consider the stars in the team, such as Shepchenko. He needs to leave a place for the Ukrainians - even if the Ukrainians have been not performing well, he will do this, so this makes other players dissatisfied because the competition in the team is unreasonable.

But Boas doesn't need to do this. He is familiar with everyone in the team. He is not afraid of offending the stars. He is originally a temporary contract. If there is a problem, he can resign or stop. Is there anything worse than this? Don't talk about whether there is any problem. Even if there is no problem, he can lead the team to complete this season, or even win one or two championships. It's hard to say whether he can stay at Stamford Bridge next season. Naturally, he doesn't have to care what the players think. His idea of ​​leading the team is to do whatever it takes to win the game more easily.

This actually gave the team a fair competitive environment, and everyone was very satisfied with Boas.

Of course, there are also people who are not very satisfied. For example, Shepchenko, who has only won many 90 minutes of playing opportunities in recent league rounds. Some media have ridiculed him for being a fringe player when he came to Chelsea. Chelsea spent 30 million pounds to buy a fringe player, which is really luxurious.

But Shepchenko had no choice. He had already forced a Grant away. He couldn't have a conflict with Boas just because he couldn't play, right?

The result of doing that is almost certainly that he left, because Boas and Grant are different. Grant is a parachuted to the team, and Boas takes the position of coach with the situation. He is very familiar with many players. If he has conflicts with Boas, it is estimated that the entire club, even Abramovich, will not support him openly because it will lose people's hearts. However, Shepchenko can actually understand it in his heart. After all, the team must have a normal competitive environment. It is impossible for him to perform poorly and have enough opportunities to play. After all, the ability of his teammates is not worse than that of himself.

He needs to work hard for the main position.

This is also good news. At least those media will not criticize him in such a targeted manner - the number of appearances has been less, the number of attention has been received, and the number of criticisms has been less.

Shepchenko also wants to rely on his own efforts to compete. He is a top scorer. He is still very confident in his strength. He believes that he is just temporarily unaccommodating to the Premier League.

...

In this atmosphere, Chelsea ushered in the Champions League.

This is the top 16 match in the Champions League. Chelsea's opponent is Valencia. The two teams draw lots together. The first round of the match was at the Mestalia Stadium in Valencia, Spain.

The city of Valencia is the third largest city in Spain. It is known as the "Pearl of the Mediterranean Sea" for its excellent geographical location. It was extremely glorious as the financial capital of the Mediterranean Empire in history, and has its own unique traditions and language. The Valencians are famous all over the world for their individualism, sensibility and creativity.

Although Valencians today do not have as strong sense of division as the Basque and Catalans, many marks can still be seen locally from the inland Spain, and even the direction signs in English are written on the highway to Madrid.

In the 13th century, Jaime failed to fight with the local Moors in Valencia and led his team to a cave on the Bat Cliff. The Moors chased the Bat Cliff, but were scared away by thousands of bats, which gave Jaime a chance to regroup. He later became Valencia's first conqueror. In order to thank the bats for their protection, he listed bats as his guardian god.

From then on, bats had an indissoluble bond with Valencia, who was also called the "Bat Legion".

In the summer, the introduction of Morrientes and del Orno made Valencia an absolute "half-spanish national team", with Spanish national team players in the front, middle and back.

Although the promotion to the Champions League is not very smooth, as a giant team in La Liga, no one will suspect that they will target the semi-finals and even higher in the new season.

Now they meet Chelsea.

Valencia is a strong contender for the La Liga title this season. They are competing with Barcelona for this championship and also hope to reach the Champions League semi-finals. Now they meet Chelsea.

Soon as time approaches, the whole Chelsea team has flew to Valencia, and the city of Valencia has also spread the smoke of war. The first round of the Champions League in the quarterfinals of 16 is about to begin. (To be continued, please search for Piaotianyi, the novel is better, updated and faster!
