Chelsea, a team in south London, referred to as the Blues. Historically, their results are not as good as Manchester United and Arsenal, which won the Premier League championship, but the Blues are definitely one of the most powerful teams in England.

The two people who brought them strength were two people, the Italian Ranieri and the Russian Abramovich.

Claudio Ranieli, who led Fiorentina to success in his motherland, then led Valencia to success in Spain. In 2000, he was spotted by Chelsea and became Chelsea's head coach.

In his first season, he successfully led Chelsea to qualify for the European Games next year.

In the season, Chelsea’s top scorer Hasselbainke won the Premier League Golden Boot with 23 league goals, and also made his name along with his predecessors Hillsden, Bentley, Greaves, Osgood and Dixon, becoming the target of fans when discussing the great centers in Chelsea in history.

After achieving certain results, Ranieri began to make some moves in the transfer market. He drove away veterans such as Wise, Poyette and Leboff, spent a total of £42 million to buy defender William Galas, midfielders Frank Lampard, Emmanuel Petit, Slavisa Yokanovic, as well as wingers Jasper Glenshare and Bodwiin-Zenden.

It is worth mentioning that he also promoted a young man from the youth team, whose name is John Terry.

As it turns out, Ranieri's vision is very accurate.

Especially Terry and Lampard, both of them have become the main players of the team in just one season and are core players. One of them is in the back defense and the other is in the midfield, ensuring that Chelsea’s two fronts become the top.

Unfortunately, due to large transfer investments, the construction of the western stands of Stamford Bridge Stadium, large investments in the construction of auxiliary facilities, hotels, etc., these investments are not enough for Chelsea to make ends meet. Their results are good, but their wallets cannot keep up. The heavy debt burden makes the club need new investments to overcome the difficulties.

Russian Roman Abramovich is here.

On July 2 this year, Abramovich bought the debt-ridden Chelsea club. At that time, Abramovich, a 36-year-old Russian rich man, was a mysterious figure for the whole of England. As soon as the news of Chelsea being sold came out, the prospects for the club were still unclear at the beginning. But not long after, Chelsea's development intention under Abramovich's leadership was very obvious. The cost of Chelsea purchasing players before the season was unimaginable to any club before.

Glenn Johnson, Marklele, Peron and Joe Cole are all bought by Chelsea.

In just one summer, Chelsea invested more than 100 million pounds in the transfer market, and off the court, Abramovich successfully completely privatized the Chelsea club.

This season, Chelsea is terrible!

With so much fresh blood in hand, Ranieri quickly combined the team into a whole, and they defeated Liverpool at Anfield Stadium at the start of the Premier League, the first in eleven seasons since the start of the Premier League.

Just in the past game, Chelsea won two very critical wins.

In Rome, Italy, they defeated the mighty Lazio 4-0, setting a new record for foreign teams to win the biggest score in Italy.

In the Premier League, they defeated defending champion Manchester United and topped the Premier League standings.

Compared with Chelsea, Wigan Athletics is as fragile as a child. In the media, in the eyes of England fans, and even in the eyes of Wigan fans.

Perhaps, in the eyes of Wigan Athletics players, the same is true.

When the news was told to the players, Jewell looked at them solemnly, in their eyes, there was incredible and excited, but that kind of excitement should be due to being able to compete with a behemoth like Chelsea.

Javier was somewhat disappointed, although he didn't think the team had a chance to win the game at Stamford Bridge. "Next weekend, we will play football at Stamford Bridge. It's a great stadium. There will be tens of thousands of opponents fans at that time. I just hope you can adapt to the atmosphere and show the normal level of the team."

"It's very difficult for us to win, and that can even be described as a miracle, so I don't want you to have any pressure, play well, show the strength of the team, and don't let your opponent score easily."

"Winning is a bit unrealistic, but I hope to see a Vigan Athletico at Stamford Bridge that is excited and working hard to win!"

What Javier said to the players was somewhat pessimistic, but that's the truth.

No matter who it is, you can't imagine a new team in the League One to compete with the top of the Premier League. What's more, the game is still played on the opponent's territory. Such an opponent almost means that the road to the League Cup of Wigan Athletics has come to an end.

Every player yearns for the game because it is a competition with England's top teams. As for victory? It's too difficult. What they think is more about performing more in the game. Maybe they can become famous in one battle? Maybe they have a chance.

It's not that the players are pessimistic, and the gap in strength between the two teams is there. In front of Chelsea, Wigan Athletics is like a child. A child fights an adult. Even with a weapon, it is difficult to win. The absolute power can suppress everything.

What's more, it was at Stamford Bridge Stadium, Chelsea's territory, and only Chelsea were holding weapons. Are they a child or against the enemy with empty hands.

Zhang Tiehan and everyone have similar ideas.

He wants to perform at Stamford Bridge. Facing opponents like Chelsea, if he can perform at Stamford Bridge, for example, he steals those big-name stars more than a dozen times in a game, or creates several defenses for the savior, by the way, he may be a forward... If he can score a goal, it would be perfect!

Two, scoring twice...

"Weigang Athletics has scored two goals. The goal is still the number one player Zhang, the number 13 player of Wigan Athletics! This is his second goal in this game. He is less than nineteen years old and scored twice at Stamford Bridge! The score has become 0:2. The whole Chelsea team has been sobbing for the young player. They all kneel on the ground and make a worship posture, like worshiping the king. Look! The fans in the audience stood up and cheered for the goal. Zhang conquered the Stamford Bridge Stadium and conquered the fans here. Listen, what are the Chelsea fans shouting, 'Come to Stamford Bridge, the new king'... God..."

Yes, God!

Zhang Tiehan thought happily, and he didn't know what Jewell said later. That kind of worship would be a bit extravagant, but if he could score a goal, it would definitely feel very good!

That will definitely attract the attention of England!

Then more people know themselves, know themselves, and more media will interview themselves, so that they will really become famous in one battle.

You will become famous in one battle! Who doesn’t want it! No one doesn’t want it!

Zhang Tiehan thinks this way, and other Wigan Athletics players have similar ideas. Everyone has a ** and hopes that they can become famous. This inspires their fighting spirit. Even if Jewell doesn't say anything, they will work hard to face opponents like Chelsea.

But before that, there is another midweek league match, with Derby County.

Derby County, England's Derby County Derby team, was founded in 1884 and was a founding member of the Football League. From the 1980s to the first half of the 1990s, Derby County only played in the second-tier second-tier second-tier second-tier second-tier second-tier league matches. In 1996, after six seasons, he failed to relegate and was relegated to the English League One in 2002.

For Derby County, the game was originally a game that had to be won.

Their results are really bad. They only won two games in the first twelve rounds, and now they rank last in the league with nine points. Perhaps for them, every game next is a must-try. When they encounter Wigan Athletics, who is in a state of unstable shape recently, they still play at home. Derby County hopes to win three points.

So they learned a detailed understanding of Wigan Athletics and also learned about the simple defensive tactics of other teams when dealing with Wigan Athletics.

They arranged the same arrangement and felt that there was no problem in winning the game.

"We are confident of winning at home!" Derby coach Collins said with a smile at the pre-match press conference, "Our players are all very fighting spirit, and they are confident of regaining the team's honor."

Unfortunately, Collins' confidence only lasted until the players entered the field.

Seeing the starting lineup of Wigan Athletics, it should be said to be the starting lineup, Collins was immediately stunned, "Why is that No. 13, the forward? Did they make a mistake?"

The other reporters who came to interview were also very surprised. They didn't know that there was anything else. This was obviously a new tactic of Wigan Athletics, or they just wanted to play a trick to win? But that young man wouldn't score at all. What's the point of his appearance?

The media didn't understand, the fans didn't understand, and Collins was even more confused, but he was definitely dizzy about his opponent. The No. 13 would not attack, so what else should the team worry about? His team was equal to eleven to ten at the beginning, and it would be better if one less player on the opponent.
