October 28th is the second match day of the 11th round of the English Premier League. There are two games on this day, one of which is played at Stamford Bridge Stadium, with the Premier League giant Chelsea playing Astonwea at home.

If the strength of the two teams is almost the same before this season, they are both teams in the second tier of the Premier League.

But last summer, Russian giant Abramovich invested 100 million euros in the transfer market and bought many players including defensive players Marklele, Perron, Glenn Johnson. Chelsea leaped to the top with Manchester United and Arsenal, becoming the real first-tier team.

Chelsea's lineup is strong, and it is home to play, so the advantage is quite obvious. As a result, in the 31st and 69th minutes, forwards Good Johnson and Perron scored one goal respectively, helping Chelsea defeat Aston Villa two goals.

He just defeated Manchester United and beat Aston Villa again, and Chelsea firmly secured the top spot in the league.

In the media's opinion, this game is not worthy of extensive reporting. Chelsea is strong and is a home game, so it is difficult for victory to attract fans' attention.

However, after the game, many Chelsea players were asked questions about the next League Cup in the mixed zone.

“League Cup?”

The Chelsea stars who were asked were stunned and then remembered that two days later, the League Cup match would be the League One team.

"That seems to be the Manchester area team, what's the name?" Joe Cole thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out.

"It's Wigan's team," Lampard said.

After listening to Lampard's reminder, Joe Cole realized that the question must be a reporter from Manchester, and they could not get the handle. He immediately affirmed, "Yes, it's Wigan's team... it's Wigan's team!"

"That's Wigan Athletic!"

John Terry came through the passage, he was only twenty-one years old, and just took over the team's captain's armband from French veteran Deserley this season.

"We will all go all out in the League Cup," Terry said to the reporter, pulled Lampard and Joe Cole and walked away.

Although Terry said this, anyone can see that Chelsea does not pay attention to the League Cup at all, nor does it pay attention to Wigan Athletics at all, otherwise Joe Cole would not have heard of Wigan Athletics name.

Wigan Athletics has been promoted to the League One for the first time this season. Compared with other League One powerhouses, the team's name is indeed much stranger.

Those players who have never been in the lower leagues have no idea that there is such a League One team.

But as an opponent, the game is about to begin in two days. Chelsea players don’t know the name of the opponent’s team, which is really unreasonable. Some reporters are ready to write these into tomorrow’s reports.

There are still some journalists waiting and watching.

They plan to report some content without commenting. If Chelsea can gain an overwhelming advantage in the day after tomorrow, these contents will be irrelevant. But if Chelsea encounters difficulties, these reports will be very useful. At that time, they can say, "Chelsea does not pay attention to their opponents after completing the game before the game, and the opponent uses his strength to warn Chelsea.'

As for other results...

Even the vast majority of reporters who came to interview did not think that when Wigan Athletic meets Chelsea, the League Cup is equivalent to the end and they will not have any other results.

What, you said Wigan Athletics will beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge Stadium?

It's dawn, wake up quickly!

If there is no press conference like this, in their eyes, it would be as crazy as the sudden outbreak of a world war. Of course, not all reporters are like this. There are still reporters who have a glimmer of hope, that is Colin John from the Wigan.

Colin John is a Wigan native and has been a Wigan Athletics fan since he was a child.

He was born and raised in Wigan, and now he works in Wigan. His love for Wigan has become an instinct. Wigan is the most powerful in history. They can achieve a certain position in the League One, have good results in the league, and the team has always been positive.

"Why can't Wigan Athletic win Chelsea?" Even though Chelsea is so strong, Colin still has hope for victory.

So Colin came to London.

After the interview in the mixed area, Colin followed a group of reporters to the press conference site, and the interview could only continue there.

Among these reporters, Colin, who represents the Wigan newspaper, seemed insignificant. He was arranged in the last row with several other tabloid reporters.

There are more press conferences in the Premier League than in the English League One. Because there are too many reporters coming, you must ask questions in an orderly manner. Only when the press officer designates it can you have the right to speak. Whether Colin can obtain the right to ask questions depends entirely on the face of the press officer.

Colin was lucky, perhaps because he was from Manchester County in northern England, and he was regarded as a representative of Manchester. The press officer believed that he would ask questions from the perspective of Manchester United and he got the right to ask questions.

"Mr. Ranieri, what do you think of your next league opponent, Wigan Athletics from Wigan, Manchester City?" Colin stood up politely and asked.

Everyone was stunned at the press conference.

“League Cup?”

“Wigan Athletic?”

Ranieri frowned and looked at the young man asking questions, then smiled slightly, "That's a League One team. It is said that they are the Premier League One team this season, and their results are not bad. I think with their performance, there is no big problem to complete the relegation, and we can even strive to further stabilize the ranking in League One."

"As a League One team, it is not easy to get to this point in the League Cup, and it also proves their strength on the one hand. My team will take the game seriously and strive for the final victory."

Ranieri's answer was very gentle and had a completely sincere attitude. Anyone who didn't understand Wigan Athletic would be deceived by his performance.

But there are still many reporters on the scene who know about Wigan Athletics!

Wigan Athletics, a newly promoted team in the League One, can be described as "there is no big problem for relegation" in this season. With their results, they can completely compete for the league upgrade quota.

It is obvious that the Italians have never learned about Wigan Athletics at all.

Colin smiled. He was extremely annoyed by Chelsea's contempt, but he felt that he didn't have to say anything more, "Mr. Ranieri, thank you for your answer."

Ranieri felt inexplicable, and he had no idea that he had missed it.

When Colin asked a question just now, he was a little overwhelmed. After all, neither he nor the team were preparing for the next League Cup because their opponent was an English League One team, but these could not be told to reporters, as they would think that Chelsea was arrogant.

Ranieri only knows that Wigan Athletics is an advanced team in the League One, that's all.

In his opinion, the goal of a newly promoted team in their first season is naturally to relegation, so he said, "There is no big problem with relegation." Such sleek rhetoric often makes people unable to find faults, and they also feel that he has a certain understanding of his opponent.

In the following question session, Ranieri always felt that the reporters looked at him strangely.

He didn't know why, but it was because of the young man's question. After the press conference ended, he immediately searched for information about Wigan Athletics.

"So that's what it is..."

Ranieri, who finally knew the reason, smiled bitterly, probably in a little trouble.

He doesn't care, he is Chelsea's head coach.

As long as you lead Chelsea and defeat Wigan Athletics with an overwhelming advantage, this little trouble will not be considered trouble at all.

So what if he doesn't care about his opponent?

Is an opponent crushed by Chelsea worth caring about?

...

Chelsea players and coaches’ contempt for Wigan Athletics is just a small episode before the game.

Except for some reports made by the local Wigan newspaper on this matter, no other media made any noise.

Chelsea is the top of the Premier League, while Wigan Athletics is a Premier League team. The two teams are not comparable at all. No one rashly criticizes Chelsea's approach. If it goes over, they will be the same as Chelsea.

As long as you perform normally, Chelsea's victory over Wigan Athletics at Stamford Bridge Stadium would be easier.

At the same time, Wigan Athletics training has been underway.

Even if no one mentioned it in the team, everyone has this sentiment - we are a strong team in the League One, a team that can compete for the Premier League upgrade quota. Each of our players works hard, so what if the opponent is Chelsea?

If your opponents despise us, they must pay the price!

With this idea, every player performed surprisingly seriously in training. They completed the training tasks assigned by the coach and took the initiative to communicate and seek some surprising tactical styles. For example, Brekin came up with a "trick move".

"After we dribbling the ball to the bottom line, we can kick the ball to them without a chance, and it is best to pop out of the bottom line so that we can have more corner kick opportunities."

"You see, Zhang is doing better and better in the penalty area. Jenson and I have no good idea. If there are more corner kicks, Zhang will have more opportunities. Maybe he can bring a lot of goals! Yes, many goals, Zhang, the task of scoring ten goals for Chelsea will be given to you!"

Brekin said with a serious face.

But what he said was really unreliable... Ten or eight goals were not a basketball game.

Zhang Tiehan smiled beside him and said, "That's really good. I will have more opportunities. I can't wait to try Chelsea's defense."

Such joking voices during training also brought some relief to the team's atmosphere.

Jewell is very happy to see the team facing a strong opponent. He hopes that every opponent can arouse the fighting spirit of the players, so that his team will be getting stronger and stronger. He feels that it will be very easy to continue like this and win a Premier League place.

It’s a pity that there is not much training time.
Chapter completed!
