    Since the beginning of this season, "Tinker" Ranieri has done a good job at Chelsea. Although they lost to Arsenal 1-2 at Highbury in the ninth round, they had eight wins and two draws in the remaining games.  Undefeated, which also includes overturning the "Red Army" Liverpool in an away game, now ranked second in the standings, only one point behind Arsenal and one point ahead of Manchester United.

    In the last Champions League match, they beat Serie A powerhouse Lazio 4-0 in an away game. The goals of Crespo, Gudjohnsen, Duff and Lampard made Lazio lose face and threatened the big team.  After winning, this game is at home. Chelsea hopes to defeat Newcastle and continue to maintain pressure on the top team Arsenal!

    An hour before the start of the game, Pei Wei appeared in a luxury box at Stamford Bridge. It is the practice of the Premier League that the chairman of the home team invites the chairman of the visiting team to watch the game in the best box, and Abramovich also  He was very interested in Pei Wei, a Chinese who had entered the Premier League before him, so he naturally strongly invited him, and Pei Wei had no reason to refuse.

    Seeing Pei Wei and Su Mei appear in the box, Abramovich, with two bodyguards behind him, immediately came up to him and stretched out his hand with a smile on his face: "Hello, Pei, I am Roman Abramovich.  "

    "I'm Pei Wei." Pei Wei also smiled and held Abramovich's hand, and then looked at this face that can often be seen on TV in later generations. To be honest, if Abramovich hadn't bought Chelsea in later generations,  Pei Wei wouldn't recognize his face, at least as an ordinary fan at that time.  I don't have much interest in financial oligarchs.

    "Is this your wife? Pei, I envy you very much for having such a beautiful wife." Abu let go of his hand, turned around and stretched out his hand to Su Mei.

    Su Mei also smiled and shook hands with him: "Nice to meet you."

    Abramovich seemed very talkative. After the guests and the host sat down, he kept talking about the good relations between Russia and China and the prospects after entering the Premier League at the same time as Pei Wei.  He even invited Pei Wei and his wife to go on a cruise on his yacht after the season - "I am a person who likes friends, Pei. I admire the courage and courage you have shown in the acquisition of Hong Kong and Google."  Style." These were his exact words.

    "The Chinese have always been a nation that likes to make friends. Roman, in the pre-season transfer market, we did not have any conflicts I am very happy to see you poached Duff and Veron from Manchester United.  "Pei Wei shrugged: "I think we should be friends right?"

    Abu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed¡ªat least on the surface, he was a generous man.

    "Let's enjoy the game." Pei Wei pointed to the players from both sides who had started to walk onto the field: "This is a game worth 200 million pounds No, it's even more than that. That's how football is now, rich clubs,  It¡¯s all built up with money.¡±

    In this game, Ranieri retained the main lineup from the last victory over Lazio, goalkeeper Cudicini, right back Johnson, left back Bridge, center back was partnered by Gallas and Terry, and midfielder Petty  Te, Veron, Lampard and Duff.  The forward is the partnership of Crespo and Mutu.

    Newcastle, on the other hand, seemed to be a little short of personnel. Dyer and Shearer both felt unwell before the game and could only sit in the stands. Woodgate was also injured and could not play, so Mourinho returned the lineup to 442.  Goalkeeper Given.  Defenders Kufuor, Dawson, Lucio and Hart, midfielders Makelele, Janas, Robert and Nie Fei, Ibrahimovic and Viduka appeared on the forward line.

    Bellamy sat on the bench with a face on his face. Newcastle's main player last season has only scored one goal since the beginning of this season and appears more often on the bench. This makes this weird-tempered genius shooter  Now I'm even more angry.

    Among Newcastle's four forwards, Shearer is the absolute main force. Ibrahimovic has firmly occupied a main position with his technical and organizational skills. In the competition for the first substitute, Bellamy has no temper.  Lost to Viduka - Viduka was diligent enough.  Can play with any forward on the pitch.  He can cover Ibrahimovic, and he can also do hard work for Shearer.  And what about Bellamy?  He needs to break through with the ball, but now Newcastle's Nie Fei and Ibrahimovic have the most ball. He has no header ability in front of the goal. He can't even find his place in Newcastle's offensive system, so among the four forwards  Bellamy, the only fast forward, has the least playing time.

    It's not that Mourinho didn't give him a chance. He has been paired with Shearer in the first few games of the season, but he has never integrated into Newcastle's offensive system. For the sake of performance, he can only let this speed shooter go.  On the bench.

    As soon as the game starts, the fans?Chelsea, who had a home advantage, launched an attack amidst the cheers of 40,000 fans at home. After taking possession of the ball in the midfield, Duff received a pass from Veron, crossed and got rid of Kufuor's defense in the penalty area.  Qianfeng volleyed, but the ball was saved by Ji Wen.

    Just two minutes later, Veron scored the ball in the midfield again. Lampard took a long shot thirty meters away from the goal. The long shot was of high quality and almost missed the right post.  After reaching the bottom line, Chelsea fans sighed, and then continued to shout loudly.

    After withstanding Chelsea's offensive, Newcastle launched a counterattack. After receiving the ball from Makelele in the middle, Nie Fei dribbled the ball across the right wing and knocked the ball to Jay who inserted in the back row under Petit's entanglement.  Nass and Janas passed directly to Ibrahimovic in front. No matter how beautifully Ibrahimovic knocked the ball to Robert on the wing, Robert still found a gap under Johnson's defense and passed the ball into the penalty area. Vidu  Ka jumped up to head the ball towards the goal, but Terry pushed the ball out first.

    The ball flew outside the penalty area. Janus shot directly from a long distance without stopping the ball. The ball was blocked by Cudicini. Then he reacted quickly and got up and suppressed the ball under his body, without giving Viduka a chance to make a follow-up shot.  .

    "Well, Cudicini is still a very reliable goalkeeper. He is loyal, capable, and can endure the loneliness of the bench Although Italy has no super goalkeepers since Buffon, there are still many trustworthy goalkeepers in general.  , except for a few that are not very reliable this is traditional strength. Italy produces goalkeepers, defenders and number nine and a half, England produces wingers and tall centers, Germany produces cores with leadership qualities, and Brazil and Argentina produce technology.  Genius We in China also need to add our own traditions," Pei Wei thought while rubbing his chin.

    After introducing so many famous stars, I have to say that Ranieri's transformation of Chelsea is quite successful. It is not an easy task to be able to severely defeat Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, although their current strength has dropped significantly.  , but it is still a strong team in Serie A.

    Veron, an attacking midfielder who has never shown that he can compete with Zidane in Serie A since coming to the Premier League, was entrusted by Ranieri with the important role of Chelsea midfield metronome, with Lampard in front.  Charged with Duff, protected by Pettit behind him, although he still has not adapted to the rhythm of the Premier League, since the beginning of this season, Veron has gradually restored his demeanor as the number one attacking midfielder in Serie A.

    In this game, Veron's right distribution of the ball in the midfield caused a lot of trouble for Newcastle's defense. Under his distribution, Chelsea's two full-backs frequently intervened, and Lampard's forward was in the middle.  Coupled with Mutu's retracement, their combination of wing and center play made Newcastle's defense a little difficult.

    The twenty-fourth minute of the game.

    Veron takes the ball in the middle and then looks up to observe the situation on the field. This is one of his characteristics. He must stop the ball at his feet and then organize the attack, and the entire team's offensive rhythm will unknowingly slow down.  Come down, maybe this is why Veron has never been able to adapt to the Premier League. After all, in the Premier League, which is famous for its fast pace, an attacking midfielder like Veron is simply an anomaly.

    ¡°At least Ferguson couldn¡¯t use such a midfielder, but obviously the Italian Ranieri would use such a midfielder.

    Jenas rushed toward Veron, but Veron easily controlled the ball, found a gap, and kicked it straight to Duff, who was pulling to the center.

    After Duff received the ball, he broke through into the penalty area. Hart pulled out from the wing to defend him, but Duff did not continue to break through. Instead, he passed the ball diagonally and handed the ball to the left back who was assisting in the back row.  Bridge.

    Bridge, who was unguarded, rushed to the bottom line with the ball and then made a pass!

    ¡°Keep an eye on them one by one!¡± Ji Wen roared. There are already three Chelsea players in the penalty area. Missing one may have a big impact.

    Dawson focused on Crespo, Lucio focused on Mutu, and Kufuor ran into the penalty area to focus on Lampard. Since the beginning of this season, Newcastle's defense has reacted much faster.

    Mutu jumped up at the front point and failed to hit the ball. Crespo jumped up in the middle and failed to hit the ball. The ball directly bypassed all the players in the penalty area and fell to the back point!

    Glen Johnson received the ball at the back point!  I don't know when the right back rushed into Newcastle's penalty area, and Robert missed him!

    Johnson, who was unguarded, stopped the ball with his chest, then immediately half-turned and volleyed!

    The ball flew past Given and hit the top of the net hard!
