Chapter 238 The best start
After Ye Qiu's exclusive interview came out, he immediately attracted considerable attention in the English football world, but more of it was Chelsea fans' curiosity about the head coach, while Manchester United and Arsenal fans turned their attention to the Community Shield Cup at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff.
This event is called the Premier League warm-up, because the first round of the Premier League kicked off a week after the Community Shield Cup.
Although the game has nothing to do with him, Manchester United and Arsenal are both Ye Qiu's top competitors in the Premier League this season, especially Arsenal. If Ye Qiu remembers correctly, the Gunners should have won the championship unbeaten this season.
His arrival did not change much Arsenal. Ye Qiu didn't know whether Wenger's team would still be like in his previous life, but at least, the strength of the Gunners was not greatly affected. But unexpectedly, neither team obviously took this game seriously and did not send all the main players to play.
This disappointed Ye Qiu, who had made a special trip from London to Cardiff to watch this game. He saw a dull game, with a lot of fouls, and both sides obviously did not do their best to play. In the end, Manchester United defeated Arsenal and won the Community Shield, but this game can be said to be of no value.
On the contrary, after the game, I heard that Manchester United's poaching for Puyol had entered a substantial stage. Manchester United increased its offer from UU,000 euros to UU, and Barcelona's Puyol also said that it was not excluded from joining Manchester United.
Sometimes, it is difficult to tell whether Puyol really wants to join Manchester United or use Manchester United to put pressure on Barcelona. Perhaps, he is the one who stays is the pressure, and choosing to leave is the real thing.
Professional players are just soldiers who are free to play, whoever is serious will lose
Perhaps due to the influence of the Community Shield, Ye Qiu did not send all the main players in the away game against Sliner.
Goalkeeper Van der Sar, defense line Evra, Galas, Terry and Sun Jihai, and midfielders are Marklele, Edgar Davis, Lampard, Ronaldinho and Jocole are lying behind Goodjohansen.
Goodjohansen has something that Ye Qiu admires very much. He has a certain speed, a tall figure and strong style of a Nordic player, but he is also flexible and refined. His style is a bit like Ibrahimovic, but he is not as good as Ibrahimovic in all aspects. He is not as good as Ibrahimovic in diligence and fighting spirit, but he is much better than the Swedes.
Despite this, Goodjohansen's attacking and scoring ability is relatively average, which makes him missed a lot of opportunities in the first half of the game against Sliner. It's okay to do goals and support, but facing Sliner who is defending, he cannot play his height advantage.
It was not until the 43rd minute that Goodjohansen seized an excellent opportunity to break the deadlock for Chelsea.
After the second half of the game, Ye Qiu did not rush to make adjustments, but continued to observe. In the UU minute, he replaced Jocole with Van Persie. The team changed the team's 43 Ronaldinho and Van Persie both pressed to play the forward, but they swam more on both wings and Lampard's position.
In the 75th minute, Lampard received a return pass from Ronaldinho and scored another shot from the front of the penalty area, winning another goal for Chelsea. But after that, Chelsea never scored again, and the score of 0 remained at the end of the game.
Everyone thinks this is a matter of course for Chelsea’s away defeat to Slina, and it is strange not to defeat the opponent, so they did not pay special attention.
After the team returned to London, they repaired for two days and headed to Liverpool to play Anfield Stadium away.
The opening game of the first round of the Premier League in 034 is Birmingham vs. Tottenham Hotspur.
Tottenham's team no longer has the gorgeous and sexy football style it used to be. Even in the minds of many Tottenham fans, this team still represents elegance and romance, but reality cruelly deprives them of their final beliefs, especially the strong rise of their arch-rival Arsenal, which has forced them to face their own mediocrity.
At the beginning of this season, even though Hodel's team worked very hard, they eventually lost 0l away.
On the same night as the opening match between Birmingham and Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United scored twice at Old Trafford, with the goal of Scholes and Van Nisstrui, defeating Bolton 40 at home, making a good start.
Arsenal defeated Everton at his home court, Henry and Pire scored for Arsenal.
But neither of these teams are the most prominent, and the most surprising thing on the first day of the Premier League came from Sones' Blackburn.
This English coach who chose Ye Qiu not to choose him for this match. He was determined to prove it to everyone, especially for Abramovich to show him that he was not inferior to Ye Qiu at all.
Therefore, when he was against Wolves, he played offensive football, defeated Wolves at his home court, and went straight to the top.
After the game, Sones said in an interview with the media that Blackburn's strength made him happy and he hoped to lead the team to attack European events.
"Everyone knows that we were not far from the Champions League last season. I hope this season can make up for the regrets of last season and we will definitely get a good ranking after the end of the season."
As for the media's proposal, Blackburn's head coach was not optimistic about Ye Qiu at all about who would become the strongest contender for the Premier League championship this season. He felt that Wenger and Ferguson's teams were very promising, and even Hallier's Liverpool was more likely than Ye Qiu's Chelsea.
"You know, it's hard for people who are not familiar with the Premier League to gain a foothold here." This statement is vaguely targeting Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu did not refute because he encountered a tenacious sniper from Liverpool at Anfield.
Hollier's team is no longer as strong as before. Facts have proved that the high-fast forward combination that the French insisted on is difficult to work anymore. In this game, Ye Qiu gave a special blow to Liverpool's style, and even directly pushed the defense line to Liverpool's half.
Irving's counterattack?
Not to mention that Irving now has no speed at his peak. Even if he can't pass the ball in the midfield, Irving can't do anything to be strong.
0 Lampard scored Chelsea's first goal of the season in the first half, and then Drogba scored in the 78th minute to secure the score. Chelsea had completely controlled the game and defeated Liverpool at Anfield Stadium.
Ye Qiu praised the team's performance after the game, "The first round of the new season will always be difficult, and we need to slowly find the state of the game, but I am very happy that my players finally won the opponent."
Hollier was disappointed with his team's performance in the game. "We are completely controlled by our opponents, and the game is always under the leadership of Chelsea. We are very sorry for this. We lost, but the league has just begun."
In the first round, Liverpool was won by the media, and the media focused on Ronaldinho.
The Brazilian performed very well in this game, with one direct assist and one indirect assist and two goals contributing to it. He also became the most threatening Chelsea's frontcourt offensive players, which also made many people who previously thought that Ronaldinho could not adapt to the Premier League difficult.
Many people are analyzing Chelsea's first league game. Ye Qiu's 43l lineup was lined up in this game, with goalkeeper Van der Sar, defense line Evra, Cannavaro, Terry and Macon, three midfielders were Edgar Davis, Marklele and Deco, frontcourt players were Ronaldinho and Lampard, and single striker Drogba.
Chelsea's lineup seems to be very tough, but its ability to create opportunities in the game is not weak. In the first league game, the Reds, who played at home, only got a shot opportunity, but Chelsea had 16 shots, more than twice the opponent's. Although they only scored goals in the end, the oppressive and control style displayed by Chelsea is impressive, especially the suppression of Liverpool in the midfield and frontcourt.
A week later, back at Stamford Bridge Stadium, Chelsea welcomed its first home game of the season, and this was the first time the team made its debut in front of Chelsea fans at Stamford Bridge.
The starting lineup is still the same as when he played against Liverpool a week ago, which made everyone understand that Ye Qiu didn't even take the second leg of the game against Sliner three days later. He wanted to ensure the stability of the league start.
A typical Ye Qiu style start, a typical fast-paced attack tactic, a typical offensive football
Only 3 minutes into the opening game, Ronaldinho got the ball after a Chelsea midfielder intercepted the ball and quickly dribbled the ball 30 meters away from the opponent's two players in a row. After facing the opponent's goalkeeper at the top of the arc from the front of the penalty area, he suddenly stepped on the ball and directly rubbed the crossbar into the goal.
All Chelsea fans at the Stamford Bridge Stadium rushed out of their seats. At this moment, they were shocked by the magical footwork of the Brazilians. They even shot the long shots after passing the two of them. The whole process happened in the blink of an eye. Many people may not even see clearly how the goal came about, but this did not hinder their appreciation of Ronaldinho's goal.
0Chelsea led Leicester City just at the beginning.
But just when everyone thought that Chelsea would take a short break after scoring a goal, Ye Qiu waved his hand on the sidelines and everyone pressed on him.
As a newly promoted team this season, Leicester City does not have much strength. Their goal is to relegate. They should not have too much ambitions when they play Stamford Hashimoto, but they tied Southampton in the first game of the group and almost reversed. This made Leicester City's ambition soar, and they even wanted to swallow Chelsea and become famous in one fell swoop.
This is also the way for all dark horse teams. Through an inspiring victory, they will completely bring together everyone in the team, twisting them from top to bottom, and then exerting the combat effectiveness of dark horses.
But Mickey Adams obviously ignored one thing. Ye Qiu was born in a dark horse. How could he give his opponent a chance to become a dark horse from himself?
The lessons from the start are not enough to suppress Leicester City, so Chelsea pushed up.
Mickey Adams and his team soon found out that they could not get out of Chelsea's control at all.
When the Blues pushed the entire defense line across the center and suppressed Leicester City in the half, they had no way to resist because they had to face a gap in strength and tactical mistakes.
On the contrary, Chelsea, because Leicester City wanted to survive the dark horse after the start, the defense was not very close, allowing Chelsea to constantly create opportunities and create threats.
In the 1st minute, the Dutch Wild Boar Davis came on his own. The midfielder intercepted the ball and cooperated with Deco with two and one. The Portuguese international passed Davis in front. Although the Dutchman was wearing glasses, he rushed on the court. There was indeed a wild boar sprinting posture, which forced the Leicester City midfielder to defeat Leicester City.
It was the front of the penalty area again, another long shot, and once again pierced Ian Walker's goal, 0
The entire Stamford Bridge Stadium went crazy again, from Ronaldinho to Edgar Davis, two consecutive goals were very exciting, and they all made the Blues fans see the team's desire to attack.
But before their excitement was over, Chelsea launched a wave of attacks on Leicester City. In the 17th minute, Maicon on the right quickly inserted the ball forward and passed it to the front of the penalty area. Drogba headed the ball a little, Lampard rushed forward quickly, stopped the ball in his chest and rushed into the penalty area directly. He didn't wait for the ball to land, and directly shot.
Ian Walker reacted but failed to organize Lampard's goal from behind him
The Blues' deputy captain rushed out of the penalty area of Leicester City excitedly, raised his hands high along the way, and like a big man, receiving cheers from the Chelsea fans in the stands.
0 Only 17 minutes into the game, Chelsea led the opponent with 3 goals, which could almost be said to have won this game ahead of schedule. This not only boosted the team's morale, but also made all Chelsea fans who came to the scene excited.
But it is obvious that Ye Qiu seems not satisfied with this score and still gives orders to the team to continue attacking and maintain pressure. Chelsea is also constantly rushing to the goal of Leicester City, but unfortunately he missed several opportunities.
With the confidence to win, Ye Qiu gradually slowed down the offensive. It was not until the second half that Chelsea got the ball from Ronaldinho on the left and then cut in. After Drogbarra got out of the opponent's central defender, he passed the ball to the back point. Lampard once again inserted it and headed the ball to point Ronaldinho's oblique pass into the goal of Leicester City.
Afterwards, Ye Qiu started to make substitutions. In his opinion, Leicester City has been suppressed by Chelsea for more than an hour and it is impossible to have the power to fight back. In the end, the game ended with 4, and Chelsea won two consecutive victories.
In the same round, Manchester United challenged Newcastle United away. Alan Shearer took the lead for Newcastle in the first half, and Manchester United only equalized the score and reversed the opponent until the second half.
Although Manchester United introduced Cristiano Ronaldo this summer, with the departure of Beckham and Perron, the entire midfielder of Manchester United has completely lost its balance. Without Beckham's long pass dispatch, the team's offense will be curbed. This game is the best example.
As Newcastle's head coach Bobby Robson said, Manchester United's ability to reverse the score depends on luck.
But no matter what, Manchester United won the game and also won two consecutive victories.
Arsenal defeated Middlesbrough away and won two consecutive games. This is also the only team to win three consecutive games since the start of the new Premier League season. Chelsea climbed to the leading position in the league standings with the result of scoring U goals and conceding goals in two games.
Blackburn, who was extremely glorious in the last round, was tied by Bolton away in this round. Sones felt that the reason for the team's poor performance was lack of luck, but the media soon mocked him, believing that Sones was not only lacking luck, but also lacking the ability of a strong coach as the minimum, because his team lost to Manchester City 3 at home in the third round.
Ye Qiu's Chelsea adjusted the schedule because they were going to participate in the second leg of the Champions League qualifiers, so they were earlier than other teams, and they finally defeated Birmingham 0 away games, and Ronaldinho scored his only goal.
This also made the Brazilian a favorite of Blues fans. Looking at his start of the season, his performance was very eye-catching, with abundant physical fitness, and his range of activities was very active. No matter which side he went, Lampard and Drogba would support him. Chelsea's front-court attack combination became the opponent's nightmare.
But Arsenal and Manchester United were not vague, and they all defeated their opponents. The three teams won three consecutive victories, and no one was willing to fall behind.
In the second leg of the third round of the Champions League qualifiers, Chelsea took the home court and, without any suspense, defeated Slina 40 with a half-substitute lineup, and finally entered the group stage with a total score of UM.
Back in the Premier League, Chelsea welcomed Sones' Blackburn in the fourth round.
The English coach, who once had anticipation and coveted for Abramovich's Chelsea coach, played an iron barrel-like tactic in the game, hoping to maintain his dignity at Stamford Bridge Stadium.
Yes, he no longer dares to defeat Chelsea now, just to retain his dignity.
But Ye Qiu always holds a grudge against his previous attack on him, for public and private purposes, and must win this game.
As a result, the Iron Barrel Formation, which Sones relied on the most proud, was only less than 1 minute at the beginning. No, strictly speaking, it was only 5l seconds before Chelsea broke the ball. Deco took the ball and passed it straight. Ronaldinho dribbled the ball from the left and made a cross. Lampard headed the ball in front of the goal, 0
After that, Blackburn defended to the end, and Chelsea was not in a hurry and always maintained offensive pressure on the team.
Until the second half, Van Persie, who replaced Drogba, won another goal for Chelsea in the opening attack.
In the 58th minute and the second minute, Lampard and Deco expanded the scores for the team, and finally defeated Blackburn 40, winning four consecutive league wins, ushering in the best start of Chelsea's century-old history.
Chapter completed!
