Football: Banned for life, forced to travel to Europe

Chapter 617 The beginning of a new legend

On the podium, every Chelsea player smiled brightly.

The gold content of the League Cup is that, but for Chelsea, this is the first of seven crowns, and they are naturally very happy.

Captain Terry is particularly happy. In the past few seasons, he has toasted more times than in his entire career. It is definitely something to be happy about receiving so many honors in his later years.

Terry called Wish to come and lift the trophy with him. He knew that if it weren't for Wish, Chelsea would definitely not have reached the current level. He wanted to celebrate with the team's biggest hero.

Most of the newspapers the next day used the photo of Wishing and Terry lifting the League Cup together, with a striking headline above the photo.

"The beginning of a new legend!"

In the eyes of others, Terry's behavior is Chelsea's captain handover ceremony, which is a moment worth remembering!

This title has another meaning. If Chelsea can really complete the feat of seven crowns this season, then this League Cup championship is indeed the beginning of a new legend.

After the game, there were also many discussions about the long-distance raid that made a wish.

The term "flash in the pan" has completely disappeared. Wishing has shown his extraordinary skills in three consecutive games, so it can't be a flash in the pan anymore, right?Reporters and fans also have to face...

However, many reporters and Xu Hei pointed their fingers at Wishing's performance in the second half of the game. They believed that Wishing wasted a lot of opportunities in the second half to prove that he could surpass others. This is not what a superstar should do. He should be more mature.

Even if Mourinho said after the game that he instructed the team to do this, it would not help. The reporters all thought that Mourinho was protecting the calf...

However, regarding Chelsea's strength, the media and fans have reached an agreement. They believe that other Premier League teams have no threat to Chelsea, and their main battlefield is the Champions League.

The next two games also seemed to validate this point of view.

In the fifth round of the FA Cup, Chelsea played against Hull City at home. Mitrovic performed another hat-trick. In the second half, Mourinho replaced three players, but Chelsea's offensive continued unabated. Willian scored a goal each to help Chelsea beat their opponents 5-0 and advance to the quarter-finals. Their opponents will be the winner between Crystal Palace and Tottenham Hotspur.

In the ninth round of League No.20, Chelsea ushered in the challenge of Stoke City at home, and wished to return to the starting lineup. Everyone believed that this game would be a "Chelsea-style" victory. Chelsea scored early and established the lead advantage, and then began to play their most accustomed and most comfortable defensive counterattack.

Although Chelsea's counterattack is not as good-looking as Barcelona and Arsenal's pass and cut, it wins directly.With Salah, Sanchez, Di Maria and Perisic and many other wingers, plus the big center forward of Wish, it is most suitable for Chelsea to play a quick counterattack.

Just like when he was in Real Madrid, Mourinho's counterattack is like mercury pouring down the ground. With a few kicks, he can hit the opponent's front of the penalty area from the backcourt, and the opponent has no chance to return to defense. It looks bloody, which is very beautiful.

But the actual situation is surprising.

Less than 10 minutes into the first half, Mourinho's old player Arnautovic gave him a fatal blow.

A Stoke counter-attack saw the Austrian striker dribble into the box, forcing Stones to trip Arnautovic with his leg.

Arnautovic not only won a penalty for Stoke City, but also allowed Stones to get a red card and be sent off.

Arnautovic took the penalty himself, and then Stoke City began to retreat and wait for Chelsea to make a mistake.

Chelsea pressed hard, but Stoke's defense was tenacious, much more tenacious than Man City's had been a few days earlier.

It was not until the No.80 second minute that Wishing found a good opportunity in the penalty area and broke the goal of Stoke City. In the end, both sides failed to score again, and the score of 1 to 1 remained until the end.

Chelsea's other title rivals have won and they are now just one point ahead of Arsenal and four ahead of Leicester City.

There are still nine rounds left in the league, and the title race is heating up. The FA is the happiest.

Chelsea are happy to earn points for the Premier League in the Champions League, but not happy if the league remains the dominant team.

Zhihong, who made a wish, failed to appeal, because the FA wanted to increase the visibility of the Premier League, but did not make a wish for Chelsea to win. The FA felt a little helpless, and some people even wanted to intervene artificially.

But it has never been put into action. Compared with the suspense of the Premier League championship, it is more important for a Premier League team to defend the Champions League for the first time after the restructuring of the Champions League. The FA does not want to affect Chelsea's status.

Who knew that Chelsea had lost the chain, then no wonder the FA...

The media is also hyping up the suspense of the Premier League title. Arsenal have indeed lost the chain this season, but they have adjusted very quickly. , That is, since the 03-04 season, it is the first time in 12 years to get involved in the Premier League championship again, which is definitely enough.

Not to mention Leicester City, they have never won the top league championship. From the odds of 1 to 5000 before the start of the season, it can be seen how surprising it is for them to win the championship.

If Chelsea wins the championship, it will be three consecutive Premier League titles. They will open up a new dynasty and are very likely to take over Manchester United's seat and become the next Premier League overlord.

As for Manchester City in fourth place, although they are only nine points behind Chelsea, no one regards Manchester City as a strong contender for the league title. Arsenal and Leicester City.

With only nine rounds left in the league, and Manchester City still playing Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United, no one will be optimistic about them.

So everyone's eyes are on these three teams, and they want to see how they will perform in the next game.

In the No.30 round of the Premier League, Leicester City took the lead. They won Newcastle United 1-0 at home, tied Arsenal, and temporarily ranked second in the league.

Arsenal, who played later, also withstood the pressure. With Pedro's brace, they defeated West Bromwich Albion 2-0 at home, temporarily overtaking Chelsea by two points, ranking first in the league.

The media generally felt that Chelsea was under a lot of pressure in the evening, because their opponent was Liverpool, and the game was still played at Anfield. For Chelsea, this game was very difficult to play.

Except for the Chelsea fans, almost everyone is cheering for Liverpool, hoping that they can block the footsteps of the big devil. It has the same flavor as the earth defense war when the teams played against Barcelona...
