When the game reached the 80th minute, perhaps in order to take care of this "Moscow boy" and prevent him from losing too badly, at the 80th minute of the game, Mr. Mourinho replaced Wang Li, Lan Pad, Terry three, in the last time, neither team could score again.
In the end, Chelsea beat CSKA Moscow 4-0 away.
The result of this game was not beyond the expectations of the entire European media. Before the game, many foreign media said that Chelsea would win this game. After the result came out, these media immediately jumped out and began to criticize this game As a result, they criticized and talked about the game with shady scenes.
Especially the Portuguese media pointed out in the "News Daily" the next day: "This group match in Group H was a drama from beginning to end. Chelsea's goal was so easy. What kind of ability does the army have to enter the UEFA Champions League, whether it is offense or defense, they have done too badly, but this polar bear team has tied Porto at home!!"
Obviously, Newsday didn't finish their sentence, but their meaning was understood by everyone.
Facing Chelsea and Porto, the two different performances and the vastly different scores made these Portuguese feel ashamed, and at the same time they doubted the fairness of the game.
And "Express" even offered the argument that "the terrible thing is not the strength, but the ruble". They think that Chelsea's strength is not terrible. If the game is normal, Porto is fully capable of defeating Chelsea, but Mr. Abramovich's ruble It is the scariest, because money can buy everything, and declares that 'the Premier League is seriously shady'.
Obviously, "Express" believes that Chelsea's performance in the Premier League is too appalling, and there must be something tricky about it.
However, the remarks of "Express" were too extreme, which was already an act of slander, so that in the afternoon of the second day, officials of the FA publicly stated that they would be held accountable and took "Express" to court.
Now, although the Premier League seems to be dominated by Chelsea, Chelsea has gradually become the signature of the English team this season. The FA certainly hopes that the level of the Premier League will be higher and higher. It is best to surpass Serie A and become the No. A league.But now this kind of 'shady' remarks directly cast a shadow on the head of the FA, which they absolutely cannot accept.
Of course, this is just the words of the Portuguese media. Before Porto played against Chelsea at home, they were also trying to relieve the pressure on their own team in the Champions League.
On the other hand, the English media is full of joy and encouragement, because in the Champions League group stage, not only Chelsea has 4 wins and 4 wins with 12 points, they have already secured the qualifying qualifications, and the results of other teams are also very good. Manchester United has one round less With 2 wins and 1 loss, the qualifying situation is very good. Arsenal has 3 wins and 1 draw, and it has almost guaranteed its qualifying position. Liverpool has 2 wins, [-] draw and [-] loss, and is likely to qualify.
The four major teams in the Premier League have performed very well in the Champions League. Now some media even claim that this season and the UEFA Champions League will be dominated by English teams. This statement has been unanimously recognized by the English media. Of the 4 first-line teams, England has four of them alone. This kind of result is really good and dazzling.
Of course, this is only unanimous to the outside world. Inside England, the views of these media are not consistent. It should be said to be completely opposite. For example, the media in London is now divided into three factions——
Chelsea faction, Arsenal gang, and neutral faction.
The Chelsea faction, represented by The Sun and the Fulham Post, has always been full of cheers, praise, and contempt for their opponents.
After Chelsea returned from Moscow, the "Fulham Post" immediately made a detailed report on this oppressive victory, and declared that Chelsea's strength has surpassed all teams in the Premier League, even Barcelona, Teams like Real Madrid and AC Milan cannot be compared with Chelsea. At the end of the article, they also predict that Chelsea will win the Triple Crown this season --- League Championship, Champions League Championship, and FA Cup Championship.
The "Sun" started with Chelsea's various players and mocked Arsenal in a comparative way. In the article, they pointed out: "Alan Wang is undoubtedly the most efficient striker on the planet. Arsenal can't find it. Such a star, in comparison, the teenager Cesc Fabregas they have been touting is simply nothing. And this season Didier Drogba has almost equaled the number of goals scored by Henry, Frank Lampard, Alkin Drogba The midfield attack line composed of Robben and Damien Duff is definitely stronger than the attack line composed of Robert Pires, Patrick Vieira, and Jermaine Pennant. As for Bergkamp, he Already old!"
"...Leaving aside the offense, Arsenal are even more useless in defense. Last time they were defeated by Tottenham Hotspur in the London derby. This kind of defensive ability is really more than just mentioned. Maybe in next month's game, Allen can score four by himself."
Starting with The Sun, many tabloids in London began to follow suit, drumming up Chelsea's "invincibility theory" and Arsenal needing to stay away. This argument has been unanimously recognized by Blues fans and "Ai Fans".
The Arsenal faction, represented by The Guardian and The Daily Telegraph, is of course fighting back vigorously. They believe that next month, Arsenal will definitely end Chelsea's winning streak.
The Daily Telegraph started with two coaches who said: "The Portuguese is just a bluster, he always offends a lot of people with his bad mouth, but rarely does anything, even This season, his good luck allowed Chelsea to get England's super talent like Alan Wang, but it is not easy to beat Arsenal."
"On the other hand, Coach Wenger is a pragmatic coach. In the last season, Sir Alex Ferguson, like Mourinho, was also very strong when facing the media, and Manchester United's results have been very good, but in the end they were surpassed by Arsenal. Mr. Wenger never spat, he just spent his time in the team's training, such pragmatism is the premise of the team's strength."
In contrast, the "Daily Telegraph" report is already very sensible, at least they also recognized Wang Li's strength, and pointed out that he is the strongest among the young players in England, but the "Guardian"'s argument But there is a tendency to show their teeth and claws ---
"Alan Wang's performance is indeed perfect, but he has a fatal weakness, that is, the problem of cooperating with the team. Although this problem has improved this season, it is still Alan Wang's weakness in comparison. Perhaps in other teams that Chelsea have encountered, it is difficult for any team to grasp this weakness, but Arsenal is completely different. In the next month's game, Allen is likely to have no performance."
"And Alan's character is a major weakness. According to some Chelsea players privately, Alan's interpersonal relationship in the team's locker room is very bad. The conflicts between Chelsea players are on the verge of breaking out. Maybe we should pray for their winning streak. Can last until next month."
After reading this report, the Chelsea players were all stunned, and looked at each other who 'privately' disclosed this news to the Guardian, making them actually resort to the 'Chelsea dressing room contradiction theory'.

In this kind of mutual war of words in the media, it is not all smooth sailing for the Chelsea club.
After returning to London from Moscow, Wayne Bridget and Alkin Robben both caught a cold. Bridget even took sick leave on the second and third days in a row. Obviously, his condition was getting worse. See He is not suitable to play in cold places. For example, he also fell ill when he came back from Poland last time.
However, perhaps it is a combination of misfortune and blessing, but Bridget has rejuvenated his second spring in life.
Because, Nelly Furtado flew directly to London to see his condition, and then the two went shopping together and were hit by many media. In an interview, Furtado publicly stated that she and Bridget were in love. Bridger, who turned from a playboy to a pure boy, turned the sky upside down, and made Chelsea players feel jealous from the bottom of their hearts in training——
They were training hard, but that kid was picking up girls, and he succeeded!
The same is true for Wang Li. He is now considering whether to pretend to be sick, and then let Angela fly back from the United States to visit him, so that he can live a sexual life for a few days. Of course, this is just a thought. Wang Li would not really do this, even though he missed the world of two people in his heart, he would not use this method.
In the past two days, Chelsea's training life has been very irritating. Yes, almost all players have felt it, because the head coach Mr. Mourinho has been standing on the side of the court recently, which makes many players feel an invisible pressure. They have to put in 120% effort in training, and this is even more so for Lampard and Duff, because in recent days, most of the tactical training has been carried out around new tactics. , Wang Li is very serious every time, that is to say, they need to work hard to keep up with the rhythm of the team's offense.
If there is no Wang Li, then Chelsea's offensive rhythm is not too fast, but Wang Li's scoring speed and reaction ability are too fast, but when he becomes the core of the offense, he directly drives the offensive rhythm of the entire team. Even the experienced Lampard is a little uncomfortable with this fast pace.
Not to mention physical exertion.
However, Mr. Mourinho doesn't care so much. There is no doubt about the ability of such a black-haired boy on the court. As long as this tactic can be successful, then Chelsea will not be afraid to compete with strong teams in the future. The goal has greater confidence.
Moreover, the offensive rhythm is fast, not only the incompatibility of one's own players, but also the opponent will be even more inadaptable. This is also a sign of Chelsea's enhanced offensive ability.
.........
Chelsea's November schedule does not have much free time. On the third day after returning to London, that is, November 11, which is the 11th round of the Premier League, they will play against Bolton at home.
Bolton Football Club was founded in 1874.As one of the seven founders of the English Football League, it is the only club that has not won the Premier League championship.
Their history has been tumultuous, having spent most of their nearly 30 years in the lower leagues.
However, in the last season, Bolton became a team that cannot be underestimated. They turned from a relegation underdog to a headache for strong teams. Reaching the final in the League Cup, coach Allardyce's ability has also been widely recognized.
In the new season, several veterans they introduced are particularly eye-catching. Former Real Madrid defender Hierro will bring experience to the defense, while the everlasting Les Ferdinand will strengthen the team's offensive firepower.
Even so, in this game, almost all the media are not optimistic that Bolton can beat Chelsea. This is not only because of Chelsea's strength, but also because this game is an away challenge for Bolton. It's easier said than done to win the victory under your nose!
In an interview with reporters before the game, Bolton coach Allardyce was also very low-key. When talking about this game, he said: "The most important thing for us to come to London is to learn experience, let these boys increase some and The experience of star confrontation. Winning or losing is secondary, Chelsea is not a team of our level at all, and losing is not embarrassing."
It can be seen that the England native coach is still very humble.
Allardyce has been coaching Bolton for more than 5 years. He is very aware of the strength of his team. Even if the players perform exceptionally well, there is still a big gap with the top teams in the Premier League. Coleman is similar. They all like to digitize the team's performance and look at the game rationally to strive for better results for the team.
Allardyce's remarks have nothing to hype at all. Surprisingly, Mr. Mourinho is also very low-key this time. In an interview, he only emphasized: "We will work hard to win the game, I believe this will be a wonderful game." But he didn't talk about the result, which greatly disappointed the media.
In fact, Mr. Mourinho is now thinking about Chelsea's tactics all day long, as well as the team's lineup and game rotation. A game that is almost guaranteed to win and wrangling with the media! ?
Yes, in the heart of the 'madman', this game is indeed a sure win, there is no suspense at all.
As a result, most of the media paid attention to the focus of this round of battle-Middlesbrough VS Liverpool.
This game is also a battle for league rankings. Middlesbrough, which has been greatly strengthened this season, has achieved very stable results under the leadership of head coach McLaren. They even rank one place higher than Liverpool, ranking fourth in the league. bit.
Therefore, this game was also called the 'Champions Cup Qualification Seat Battle' by the media.
As the name implies, the top 3 teams in the Premier League can securely qualify for the Champions League, while No.4 needs to play a play-off to decide whether they can enter the UEFA Cup. Even so, the difference between No. 4 and No. 5 is still Very big, so this game has become the focus of this round of the Premier League.
As a result, the Chelsea VS Bolton match seems to have become very deserted.
.........
George Scholes is the leader of a Chelsea fans association in the Fulham area of London. Every time Chelsea plays home games, he organizes the fans of the association to cheer for Chelsea, and plans ways to cheer and help the association Customize a variety of banners and more.
It can be said that George Scholes is a prestigious manager of the fans association.
Before the game between Chelsea and Bolton, he went to a small factory he was familiar with to order large banners, preparing for the game to play the momentum of the Blues fans.
In the minds of these England fans, of course there is a competitive relationship between clubs and clubs, but there is even more competitive relationship between fans and fans. Whether it is at home or away, they all hope that the cheering cheers of their own fans can surpass those of the opponent's fans, so , Before each game, they have to prepare various banners and other props to increase momentum, and organize many fans to shout slogans together, and even practice more than this.
This is the lovely traditional England fans, they even see these as their own must be done.
"George, you're here again. What do you need this time?" Seeing George Scholes walking in, the boss Fels, who was sorting things out, said with a smile.
This is a private factory with only 5 or 6 employees. Their job is to manufacture banners and pendants, and take some small printing jobs to survive. The leaders of these fan groups are also considered customers.
George Scholes smiled and said, "The next game is the match against Bolton. I want to make a big banner to let these bumpkins see our formation."
"Oh? How big do you want to be?"
Scholes thought for a while, frowned slightly, and said, "50 meters."
"Oh my God!" Fels was taken aback when he heard this. He is not a fan of faith, but since Chelsea fans always come to take care of his business, he has also become a Chelsea fan recently. However, after listening to the What this young man said, he was still so frightened that he covered his heart, and said: "The longest banner I made for the fan group was only 30 meters, and it looks very impressive when you pull it up like that."
"Haha." George Scholes smiled complacently, and said, "What we want is to be more imposing, otherwise it would be bad if the other party overwhelmed us."
Hearing what the young man in front of him said, Fels smiled helplessly, and then said, "But the price of such a long banner is definitely not cheap. Isn't it too extravagant to use it only once?"
In fact, most of the sources of funds for these fan groups are donations from various fans, and the funds are not sufficient. At the same time, these funds are used to hold events or purchase other props, jerseys, etc., so much money is wasted in every game It's a bit of a waste in other ways.
Hearing what Fels said, George Scholes smiled and said, "I think so too, so this time I plan to make a large banner that can be used many times."
"Could it be to cheer for Chelsea?"
George Scholes said: "Well, but I haven't figured out which words to write are more imposing."
"Haha, George, you still have a headache because of this, don't worry, I'm good at this!" Fels laughed and patted him on the shoulder, saying confidently.In fact, the same is true. In this regard, the well-informed Fels is definitely a professional.
