Chapter 391
The game reached the 80th minute and the score was zero to three.
Just three minutes ago, the wing player Messi had a very exciting performance.
After getting the ball on the right, the Argentine young player passed two players in a row, broke into the penalty area and shot, further expanding the score for Chelsea.
This wonderful goal also won the Argentine young player's applause.
In the Premier League, such delicate footwork skills are really rare.
Messi's wonderful performance also stimulated his teammates on the court. In addition, he led by three to zero, Chelsea players all relaxed their minds and became very playful, and had frequent personal performances.
When the game was eighty-three minutes long, Glenn Johnson made a cross from the right, and as soon as Fabregas received the ball, his old opponent Wernaza was once again close.
"Go past him!" Fabregas recalled the head coach's words, and coupled with the excitement of his teammate Messi just now, a bold idea came to his mind.
With a thought, the opponent approached, and after taking two steps to the right, he suddenly stopped and changed direction, turned around and pulled the ball to the left. His whole body seemed to be spinning around Wernaza.
At this moment, the Englishman was like a wooden stake that had not moved.
After passing Wernaza, Fabregas was still unsatisfied. Seeing another defensive player leaning over, he immediately made a move to break through to the left, but suddenly stopped and dunked the ball to the right, and passed another easily.
Fabregas showed surprising little skills after breaking through in a narrow range, and seeing him dribbling into Watford's penalty area, all the home team fans in the game were nervous and exclaimed.
The opponent's central defender rushed towards Fabregas at the first time, but the Spanish midfielder stopped the ball and turned around again, and he suppressed the opponent's central defender with his body. He turned around skillfully and pulled the ball past the opponent's central defender, and passed the opponent's central defender again.
Not to mention the fans of the game, even the Chelsea coaching staff on the sidelines were dumbfounded.
A sixteen-year-old player used his physical fitness to suppress the tall, strong and strong central defender of the opponent?
Fortunately, all this happened in the blink of an eye, and everyone was only surprised, but they all felt it was accidental.
After Fabregas passed three players in a row, he suddenly stopped suddenly, allowing one of the defensive players to pass, and then passed the ball across the penalty spot. Lampard inserted it and easily pushed the ball into the bottom of the net.
Four to zero!
The entire court became silent!
What else can they do when facing such a Chelsea?
The other party didn't even have the main lineup, but they just had a few substitutes and a few young players. But even so, they were still easily beaten by others to zero.
Let me ask, what else can they do?
Gao Han also cheered on the sidelines and applauded the players vigorously.
"That is the basic skills that Barcelona youth training players must train every day. They are simple but very practical."
Gao Han has been in Barcelona, so he naturally knows the content of youth training, and he also knows that it was the youth training system created by two generations of Dutch coaches from Cruyff and Van Gaal for Barcelona. As for who has made greater contributions, it is probably hard to say.
Of course, in terms of the status of Barcelona, Cruyff must be higher.
"It's a bit like going around." Emery laughed.
Cantalero kept nodding, "But it is really very practical, especially when you encounter a pressing."
"These three boys will definitely become great in time." Gao Han is very optimistic about the three young players from Barcelona. "When this season is over, I will find an opportunity to talk to Barcelona and buy them out."
In order to buy these three young players through official channels, Gao Han specially signed a contract with Barcelona, which contained a repurchase clause, allowing Barcelona to repurchase these three young players within two years.
But now, seeing these three young players performing better and better, Gao Han is of course reluctant to let it go.
As for Barcelona, they will not refuse as long as the price given is appropriate.
In European football, the least scarce thing is genius. A large number of young geniuses emerge almost every day, but not all geniuses can finally meet people's expectations.
This is also why Barcelona is willing to send these three players away. In the final analysis, they do not attach great importance to it.
What's more, they valued Quaresma, under Mendez at that time.

With a substitute and young lineup, Chelsea won unanimous praise from England football, especially the media praised it.
The Guardian highly praised the changes brought about by Gao Han in the title, especially the cultivation of young Chelsea players.
The comment stated that the youth team of Arsenal, the city's arch rival, has always been very strong and has good results. Relatively speaking, Chelsea's youth training is very bad. Over the years, no other player has been able to gain a foothold in the first team, and there have even been embarrassing cases where eleven starters are all foreign players.
However, Gao Han's arrival integrated Chelsea's youth training system, not only vigorously promoted local players, but also increased the introduction of outstanding young players from abroad and cultivated them. This is how players such as Messi, Fabregas, Van Persie, Robben, Pique and others came here.
Through this game, everyone saw how amazing the potential of the Chelsea youth team is. Whether it is Messi, Fabregas, Van Persie, or even Pique and Robert Hutt as central defenders, they all performed well on the backline.
Watford's head coach Ray Livington comes from Chelsea's youth training. In an interview after the game, he highly praised Chelsea's Messi.
"I have never seen a genius as good as him, at such a young age, with such outstanding skills and courage, and being able to shoulder heavy burdens in the Elimination Cup. What's even more rare is that he performed so well, which is so shocking."
Even the head coach, who is known for training players in English football, joked with Gao Han on the spot that if Chelsea were willing to sell, he would buy Messi to Watford without hesitation.
But Gao Han smiled and refused to respond.
At the same time, the Guardian also affirmed Gao Han's use of local English players.
Joe Cole, Parker and Glen Johnson have performed well this season. Although they do not have the main position to challenge the main players for the time being, they have also seen their progress and the direction of their long-term development in the future.
What's even more rare is that they are very in line with the mainland transmission and control system that Gao Han insists on.
Only Lampard scored twice in this game and was elected as the best player in the game, which left an extremely deep impression on people, but the player seemed to feel disappointed that he had lost his main position. There were even rumors that he would leave Chelsea during the winter break, and there were many teams interested in him, including Manchester United.
This also made many Chelsea fans feel disappointed, because Lampard was an important member of Chelsea in the past, but it seemed to be very incompatible with Gao Han's tactical concept, which made him lose his main position.
What makes him even more desperate is that his competitors are too strong. Not to mention the recovering state of Perron and Deco, even the rising star Joe Kerr seems to have a better chance than him.
Therefore, Chelsea fans are also very sorry for Lampard's desire to leave the team, but they are also difficult to keep.
However, Gao Han said in an interview with the media that the club has no plans to sign and sell players during the winter break.
This also means directly denied the rumors of Lampard's transfer, and indirectly clarified the outside world's rumors that Chelsea will introduce Crespo and Shevchenko heavily during the winter break, further stabilizing the morale of the army.

In England, the FA Cup is a very important traditional cup match, and its influence is not even inferior to the league. This can be seen from the fact that it was scheduled on weekends and forced the league to be postponed to the mid-week.
After playing the FA Cup, the 20th round of the Premier League was ushered in the mid-week.
Chelsea welcomed Liverpool at home.
Hollier's team has not performed well this season and is currently ranked sixth in the Premier League. Judging from its strength, it is close to Newcastle, and even with Aston Villa, Charlton and other teams.
This is also in line with the current situation in the Premier League. Manchester United and Arsenal are far higher than other teams, so these two teams have long monopolized the Premier League championship, while Chelsea has emerged this season. With the large investment of Russian wealthy people and the integration of Gao Han, they quickly caught up with the two giants.
As for Liverpool, no matter whether it is investment or its own strength, it cannot catch up with the top three.
Therefore, in this game, at Stamford Bridge Stadium, after many days of rest, Chelsea, who sent all the main players, cleanly and neatly, knocked Liverpool down 2-0.
Just twenty-five minutes in the first half, Etoo was the first to score for Chelsea. Ibrahimovic won another goal in the second half, and finally sent the Reds away from Stamford Bridge 2-0 and continued to defend the leader.
Manchester United defeated Bolton 2-1 with Van Nisstrui's goal away, keeping the second place in the standings.
Arsenal lost points again, drew Everton 1-1, and Henry scored no more goals.
But three days later, in Arsenal's home match against Middlesbrough, Henry scored the first record for the Gunners in the first half, helping Arsenal win over Middlesbrough four-one at home.
But just a few hours later, Chelsea played away and beat Leicester City four-to-zero. Ibrahimovic scored twice in the first half, and Etoo's goal led three-to-zero.
Ferreira scored another goal in the second half, helping the team beat their opponents with four goals.
Only Manchester United, who was tied by Newcastle by zero to zero.
On January 18, in the 22nd round of the Premier League, the Blues welcomed Birmingham at home.
Etoho scored the first record for Chelsea in the 36th minute. Ronaldinho and Robben, who came on the bench, scored goals one after another in the second half, defeating Birmingham three-to-zero.
It was also with this goal in the first half that Etoo finally caught up with Henry on the scorer list.
But just when Gao Han was preparing to ridicule the British media after the game, Henry scored twice away, helping Arsenal defeat Aston Villa 2-0, and then pressed Etoo under him.
Well, I was happy in vain!
This made Gao Han feel depressed, especially Henry's second goal was actually a penalty kick. Even the referee was helping him score, which made people kneel down!
It seems that the idea of counterattacking the British media can only be temporarily delayed.
Chapter completed!
