Chapter 534: The league kicks off


At the end of the 2007 English Community Shield, Aiello conquered almost all Chelsea fans with his perfect performance, but this did not make Mourinho feel relaxed because he used a notebook to note down Aiello's shortcomings during the game. , and if these shortcomings of his are not corrected, they will seriously restrict his development in the Premier League.

He has outstanding speed and fine skills, but he is not good at using his body.

This is very dangerous in the Premier League.

This can easily attract the attention of other teams' defensive heroes.

After all, he comes with the world's number one worth.

When they arrive at Chelsea, these players will definitely want to try out for themselves the level of Aiello, the world's most valuable player.

The natural way to give it a try is to use his strong body to crush Ai Luo.

The Premier League is the league that emphasizes physical confrontation most in the world, so physical confrontation is essential, and rational use of one's body to play football is one of the points that Aiello must master as soon as possible.

Also, Mourinho discovered that Aiello has developed a habit in Valencia and is not good at helping defense.

He mostly defends with his eyes, of course, except at critical times.

When he was in Valencia, Flores was not particularly strict about defensive positioning, so Aiello sometimes helped the defense without hindering the movement of his teammates.

However, Chelsea coached by Mourinho was different.

He valued it very much.

The defensive positioning between the midfielders and backfield players can be said to be almost meticulous, so sometimes Aiello's enthusiasm will hinder the defense of his teammates.

Another thing that must be paid attention to is the game time.

Many Premier League games are played at noon and afternoon, unlike La Liga, which are all played at night.

This is also a problem for Aiello's state adjustment.

Of course, the most important point is the rhythm of the Premier League.

However, the rhythm of the Premier League does not refer to the simple rhythm of the game, but the ability to self-adjust the game state throughout the season, because the Premier League is the league with the most intensive schedule in the world, such as Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool.

In addition to the Premier League, League Cup, and FA Cup, there is also the crucial Champions League to play throughout the season.

But this is not the most critical thing.

The most critical thing is that the Premier League does not have a winter break, and it has to work hard during the Christmas period, with as few as two games a week and as many as three games a week.

This is very demanding on the physical fitness of the players. high.

Moreover, he also heard that the chairman of the Chinese xx Football Association, who had permanently expelled Aiello from the national team due to conflicts, was sentenced to jail for corruption.

This means that Aiello will most likely be selected for the new Chinese national team to participate in the upcoming competition.

The second stage of the 2010 South Africa World Cup Asian Qualifiers.

At that time, the requirements for his physical fitness will be even more stringent.

Therefore, among the four major clubs in the Premier League, sometimes what determines the championship is not strong strength, but a deep bench.

However, it is not so easy for a player of Ai Luo's level to find substitute players.

In order to allow Aiello to have sufficient physical fitness for the next double match or three matches a week, after the Community Shield ended, Aiello practiced physical fitness under the leadership of physical coach Faria to prepare for the new season. reserve.

A week has passed in a blink of an eye, which means that the 2007-2008 English Premier League season that fans around the world are paying attention to is about to begin.

The opening match of the new season is between Sunderland and Tottenham Hotspur.

In China, no Chinese fans have ever imagined watching the new season of the Premier League through av5 like today.

The person responsible for commentating this game is not CCTV celebrity Huang Jianxiang, nor is He Wei, who has been responsible for commentating La Liga for a long time.

Of course, Nor is Duan Xuan exclusive to the Bundesliga.

Since these three are not, it is even less likely to be Liu Jianhong who likes to tell the truth.

The person responsible for commentating the opening game of the 2007-2008 Premier League season is Zhan Jun, the famous former ESN football commentator.

This popular commentator who was poached from ESN by CCTV at a high price to commentate on the Premier League for a long time will be responsible for commentating most of the Premier League games this season.

In the end, Sunderland defeated Tottenham Hotspur 1:0 in this much-anticipated Premier League opener.

After the opening game of the new season, it also represents the full start of the first round of the Premier League.

Three hours later, at 6 pm local time in the UK, there were five games that kicked off at the same time.

West Ham 0:2 Manchester City, but unfortunately Sun Hai did not enter the 18-man squad.

Middlesbrough 1: 2 Blackburn, Everton 2:1 Wigan Athletic, Derby County 2:2 Portsmouth, Bolton 1:3 Newcastle.

After these five games, Liverpool, which has a large number of fans in China, used Gerrard's free kick in the away game to reverse the home team Aston Villa 1:2.

The remaining three games against wealthy teams will kick off tomorrow afternoon.

Chinese fans who want to watch Aiello's home game against Birmingham on behalf of Chelsea have to wait until 8:30 the next night.

It is said that the schedule arranged by the Football Association for the new season is completely based on the schedule of Chinese fans.

That’s why the kick-off is at 8:30 pm.

According to pre-match reports, Aiello has also entered Chelsea's 18-man squad, but whether he can start depends on Mourinho's on-the-spot arrangements.

After all, Aiello has just joined Chelsea and has only played two games, one of which is There is a Community Shield match against Manchester United, and the other one is a training match against Tottenham, another team in London, which is a match that is not open to the public.

Therefore, the game between Chelsea and Birmingham at home has become a matter of concern for the pro-Chelsea media in London, because the Premier League is the most competitive league in the world.

It is generally believed that Aiello can score a hat-trick and win the Community Shield against Manchester United.

He assisted a goal because he was not taken seriously in the games before the new season and his state was also in the adjustment period.

Basically, the media who have watched Manchester United games know that Vidic and Hargreaves, who frequently make mistakes, are not in their best condition, so the first game of the new season has become a test to verify whether Aiello is suitable for high-tempo and high-tempo football.

The Premier League against.

Even if Aiello has proven himself in the Champions League, if Abramovich spends 60 million pounds to buy Aiello to play in the Champions League, it would be a bit too extravagant.

As the saying goes, the league is the foundation.

It was not until the starting list was submitted two hours before the game that Mourinho made up his mind to include Aiello in the starting lineup.

Now Chelsea only has three official wingers, Aiello, Kalu and Malouda.

Joe Cole is more of a technical midfielder, while Wright-Phillips has been identified by Mourinho as a player who can leave the team as long as the price is right.

When Robben is injured again, only Kalu, who has a good run-in with the team, can be used.

Therefore, he occupies the position of the main winger in Mourinho's mind, and the remaining position can only be used.

Choose between Aiello and Malouda.

If we look at strength alone, Aiello is naturally the absolute main winger, but the problem is that his price is too high, and there are many jealous players.

Moreover, the quality of current players is generally not high.

He does not want Aiello to start the season at the beginning of the season.

He ended up injured.

But then again, flowers cannot be cultivated in a greenhouse and cannot be protected forever.

I believe Aiello has found enough confidence in the first Community Shield match against Manchester United.

The ordinary Premier League should not treat him cause impact.

Ai Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that he was put into the 11-man starting lineup.

Before the game, the British media specifically interviewed Birmingham's new boss Yang Jiacheng and asked his team what would be the outcome when facing Chelsea, where China's number one star is located.

"I know that all of you are paying attention to the giant Chelsea and are not optimistic about our Birmingham team, but I firmly believe that my team can win this game, even if it is away from home.

I am full of confidence in them, and I will Give my team rewards.

If they draw with Chelsea away from home, they will receive a bonus of 200,000 pounds, and if they win the game, they will receive a bonus of 500,000 pounds."

Yang Jiacheng responded to media interviews at the Birmingham training base.

Suddenly, the scene was in an uproar.

As the saying goes, there must be brave men under big rewards.

For a team whose average weekly salary is less than 10,000 pounds, this is a big bonus.

If they win, it means that they can get two or three more weeks on average. salary.

When Birmingham City midfielder Nafti arrived at the outside of Stamford Bridge with the team bus, he faced a reporter's tricky question: "Everyone thinks we can't beat Chelsea away from home, but we don't think so ourselves.

Our overall strength It’s not worse than Chelsea.

Please don’t compare one person’s worth with our entire team.

That is unrealistic, because one person can never defeat a team.

In this afternoon’s game we will prove that we sometimes have courage and Fighting spirit is an integral part of the game.”

Football is a war without gunpowder.

Nafti's words may seem ordinary, but they actually contain a hidden meaning.

Unlike Birmingham's provocative words, Mourinho seemed very low-key this time.

Mourinho's low profile also surprised the media, because in their impression, Mourinho would never give in on words.

Could it be that he wanted to catch Birmingham by surprise?

In fact, it's not the case.

It's just that recently he has been focusing on whether to sell Robben.

Now he has a little friction with CEO Kenyon.

According to Mourinho, he wants to retain Robben and enhance the benignity of the winger.

Cycle, but Kenyon believes that Real Madrid is now willing to spend 25 million pounds to buy Robben, which is undoubtedly an act of taking advantage of others.

Robben's glass body has already found it difficult to maintain a foothold in the fierce Premier League.

In addition, when he bought him, he only cost 12 million pounds.

Now three years have passed, and the champion has taken the players and their value has increased.

If he doesn't sell him now, how long will it take?

Before you know it, Chelsea's first round of the 2007-2008 Premier League season is about to begin.

Chelsea has remained unbeaten with 9 wins and 4 draws in the past 13 games between the two sides.

The last time Birmingham defeated the Blues was in the Second Division in March 1980.

Birmingham won 5-1.

However, the two sides have met in 8 Premier League games, and Chelsea 4 With 4 wins and 4 draws, they remain unbeaten.

This is also the 88th meeting between the two sides.

Chelsea has the upper hand with 39 wins, 24 draws and 24 losses
