Chapter 038 Chelsea is here
After nearly two weeks of national team game suspension, the Premier League has rekindled its war.
In the upcoming fourth round of the Premier League in the 2008/2009 season, there was one game that attracted particular attention, that was Manchester City's home game against Chelsea.
In fact, the hype about this game started a week ago.
Before Manchester City, Chelsea was the real representative of gold and dollar football. Chelsea's boss, Russian super oil oligarch Abramovich, entered the Premier League, and the conservative British media once called for "The wolf is coming!". Indeed, Abramovich's arrival broke many so-called balance in the traditional sense. Whether it is the excellent players in the UK or Europe and the United States, there is another choice and an alternative choice when selecting clubs. During that time, during that time, the When Abramovich chose G14 alone, many giants were disgusted by his unparalleled game rules. Now, Manchester City is making the situation even more complicated and plays more excessively. No club in history will file an acquisition application with at least 6 top players at the last hour of closing the transfer window. Abramovich did not, Morati did not, and Berlusconi did not, but all this happened to Fahim's Manchester City.
According to the report of "The Whole Market", at the last moment of the transfer window, in addition to completing the signing of Robinho to Manchester City, Manchester City also launched a final attack on stars such as Buffon, Lampard, Terry, Alonso, Torres, etc., trying to convince them to join Manchester City. However, these players refused one by one. On the one hand, at the last moment of the transfer window, unless there is a reason to transfer and leave, players generally will not make a hasty decision at that time. In addition, Manchester City does not currently lack influence and attractiveness. Among them, Lampard and Terry are Chelsea's second and first captains, and the media also joked that perhaps the success of these two at Chelsea made Manchester City, who intend to take the same path Chelsea have taken, are very interested.
"Our goal is very simple. We want to make Manchester City the strongest team in the Premier League, and then win the Champions League in the next few years. The goal of this season is to enter the top four of the league." Manchester City's impressive record in the third consecutive victory in the first half of the season also made Manchester City senior executives very ambitious. Manchester City club chairman Alfasheim once again publicly expressed Manchester City's ambitions in an interview with the Times. The 18-year-old has entered the real estate industry and then obtained a doctorate from the University of Washington. Recently, he has become a Middle East real estate tycoon and oil giant, and looks quite energetic.
However, the English media are not willing to buy it. Alfaim just declared Manchester City's ambitions, and the Guardian poured cold water on Manchester City.
"Once upon a time, encirclement and suppression of the Blues was the absolute theme of the Premier League. After the 'special one' entered Stamford Bridge, both Ferguson and Wenger were both troubled by him. In the first year of Mourinho, he won the second top league championship trophy in the history of the Blues with the might of dominance, and in the following years, he made the whole of Europe list Chelsea as the number one rival. What about Manchester City today? Perhaps they have become the whole world. The league is still the most troublesome opponent in Europe, but that's not because of football itself. Look at the Welshman sitting in the position of Manchester City's coach. Not to mention Mourinho, even if we refer to Ranieri, his coaching level has many questions. Many people may not like to listen to this, but in fact, before Ranieri entered the Blue Bridge, the Valencia he coached made La Liga heroes frightened. Mark Hughes? Freshman!
It is undeniable that Abramovich was extremely high-profile at the time, but the Blues' heritage was relatively strong, which is also a fact. Abramovich's arrival only played a role in drawing a dragon and making a clear sky. Think about the Chelsea team of the Bates era, Viali, Gulit, Wiech, and Deselli are dazzling enough.
What about Manchester City at present? Zhang Yang is indeed here, and he is coming vigorously and unswervingly. However, red flowers need green leaves to assist. Look at the players around Zhang Yang. Who can reach the height of "support". Robinho is not weak, but at present, he seems not to be a good match for Zhang Yang. Modric is still too young and needs the hardship of the competition. If you want to build a strong team, red flowers are of course important, green leaves are also a must.
As for Manchester City who had already won three consecutive victories at the beginning of the season, let's look at Manchester City's opponents. Aston Villa, West Ham United and Sunderland are not considered strong teams. They cannot stop Manchester City, and there is nothing strange about them. Rather than saying that they were defeated by Manchester City, they were defeated by Zhang Yang. However, football has long been a game of one person. Facing a weak team, the ability of the star can dominate the game. However, when facing a strong team, the head coach's strategy is more critical. At that time, it is time to test whether Mark Hughes has combined this Manchester City team well. Of course, for Chelsea, Zhang Yang is also an absolute dangerous person and must be taken care of."
In a word, the Guardian believes that the main reason for Manchester City's previous three consecutive wins is that the strength of Manchester City's opponents is not strong, and Zhang Yang's outstanding form, if they meet a real strong team, Manchester City will become difficult and their true colors will be revealed. In addition, the coaching ability of Manchester City's current head coach Mark Hughes is also questioned. The media believes that Mark Hughes' ability is at most the level of coaching the mid-range team. Suddenly, he was asked to coach a team with Zhang Yang and Robinho's ambition to reach the semi-finals. Mark Hughes' ability is obviously insufficient, and this deficiency will be more obvious as the league deepens, the later it goes.
This time, Manchester City will welcome the opponent Manchester City at home, is definitely the opponent of Manchester City that the Premier League media most desires and likes the most. It is definitely a good show to deal with the new nouveau riche from the old Jinyuan team that has already made a giant god.
Manchester, September 13, 2008.
Thousands of people are empty.
The whole city is paying attention to two focus battles.
Manchester United fans are worried about their team that the recently poor Manchester United ushered in Liverpool, which started the season well at home.
And this brand new Manchester City ushered in the first real strong rival they encountered in the league, Chelsea.
With more than an hour left before the start of the game, there was already a crowd of dark people outside the Manchester Municipal Stadium. They were all Manchester City fans waiting to enter the game. Manchester City fans were extremely enthusiastic about this game. Although England was not optimistic about Manchester City and believed that Chelsea would win an unsurprising victory away, Manchester City fans firmly believed that their team would not disappoint them.
Or, to be precise, they believe that Zhang Yang will bring them good results.
The fans held various banners, most of which were related to Zhang Yang. One of the big "Zhang Yang comics portraits" was particularly eye-catching. In just three games, Zhang Yang completely conquered Manchester City fans and completed the process of cheering for his fame from the beginning to sincerely worshiping him.
Two police officers stood beside their police cars and watched the crowd of fans roaming past them. One of them heard the loud noise in the air and looked up at the air, where a helicopter hovered in the air.
This is a helicopter rented by Sky TV. In the two peak matches between Manchester United and Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea, Sky TV unexpectedly chose to focus on the match between Manchester City and Chelsea. They believe that although Manchester United and Liverpool may be better than the exciting level of the game, if the topic and attention are mentioned, Manchester City and Chelsea will be particularly good. Many people want to know what kind of performance Manchester City can have against Chelsea's strong opponent, and what kind of performance Zhang Yang can have.
This is different from when he was in AC Milan. At that time, Zhang Yang had many top stars around him, including superstars like Kaka and Pirlo. Now at Manchester City, it is not an exaggeration to say that Manchester City is Zhang Yang's team alone. The quality of his performance is directly related to the result of the Manchester City team's game.
This situation has not happened for a long time. Many years ago, on the Apennines, there was a player named Maradona.
Bi Ke, Bi Ke... "Attention, Chelsea fans are here." The intercom rang.
“Received, received.”
A group of Chelsea fans were walking towards an entrance to Manchester Municipal Stadium. The fans seemed to be drunk and acted a little arrogantly. Some Blues fans raised four fingers to Manchester City fans, meaning that Chelsea will kill Manchester City four to zero in this game.
"Hehehe, Manchester shit, this game will let you see the real wealthy family." A drunken fan shouted.
Chelsea has been attacked by fans of other teams for a long time, and fans of Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal do not recognize Chelsea's status as a giant.
Now, facing Manchester City, a new nouveau riche, Chelsea fans can really stand up straight, because, whether it is the glory the team has won or the strength and influence of the team now, Chelsea is completely better than Manchester City.
"Battlemen in London, get back."
"Don't be too arrogant!"
"Zhang Yang will teach you a lesson for us!"
For Manchester City fans, the only weapon they can take now is Zhang Yang. As one of the top scorers in football, Zhang Yang will not be able to beat him just because he transfers to Manchester City. On the contrary, in the first three games, Zhang Yang has announced to the world that no matter where he is, he is still so powerful and can score goals.
Seeing that the fans of both sides were likely to have a conflict, security personnel quickly dispatched to separate the two sides and brought several obviously drunk Chelsea fans into the police car to wake up and sober up.
Watching Chelsea fans pass their 'defense zone', a local policeman from Manchester City said, "Chelsea, here."
Another policeman smiled, "Yes, Chelsea is here."
