On the way to Reading, Berkshire, the Chelsea return looked relaxed.The opponent is a promotion horse in the Premier League this year, and it is not in the eyes of Chelsea people, even if Jose has reminded everyone that they are a difficult team.But no matter how difficult it is, it is also a promotion horse.As last season's Premier League champions and current leaders this season, there's no reason to be afraid of a promoted horse.Even if the opponent's home stadium, Madeischi, is unbeaten for 14 months, so what?
That's the Championship, try to change to the Premier League?
The joyful atmosphere spread through the team, relieving the fatigue of many players who had returned from the national team until the next day's game started at 17:15 p.m.Wang Ai and Arjen Robben started as left and right wingers at the same time, partnering Drogba, Shevchenko, Frank Lampard and Essien to form the attacking line-up, while John Terry led Bora Luz, Pacos Ferreira and Bridges to form the backline, with Cech still the main goalkeeper.But just a minute into the game, things changed.Reading midfielder No. 10 Stephen Hunt was chasing a long ball to the left side of the penalty area near the bottom line at the same time as Cech, Cech made the first save, but Stephen Hunt took a touch of luck and expected Cech to get rid of it, so his right foot was not raised until the two were very close, so he "swung" on Cech's head with a huge momentum.Wang Ai was still in the front court at this time, dressed in away black, and he didn't know what was going on until he saw the replay on the big screen on the sidelines.Until this time, Wang Ai didn't think anything about it, objectively speaking, the culture of British football is iron-blooded, there are many similar collisions, and the lower the league, the more rampant.Hunter's action has distinct characteristics of the low-level league: one is to scare the other party, I don't stop your feet to make you afraid, what if you grab it?
The second is that the low-level league teams are particularly energetic in playing giants, and winning is a million profits, and losing is unscathed.Even though Hunt has arrived in the Premier League at the same time as Reading, the habits of this lower league have not changed for a while.Wang Ai and Lampard were not fast when they walked back, and they told each other to be careful, at this time Cech had already woken up, but could not stand up, climbed out of the bottom line and made a substitution gesture to the sidelines before rushing to the ground, only then did Wang Ai and Lampard feel that something was wrong.The two hurried to the vicinity, and during the simple diagnosis and treatment of the team doctor, Cech remained motionless, as if he was dead, the team doctor was also stunned, and the four men carried Cech to the sidelines, and the Chelsea staff were busy and sent directly to the hospital outside the field.Although the exact circumstances are still unknown, the Chelsea players present felt that the situation was serious.Not long after Cech's shoulder injury was healed, Jose played his first substitution less than a minute into the game: Cudicini.The expressions of the players are very solemn, Cech is a good man in the team, although he is tall and strong, he is very gentle, and he is also a kind person in private, and the referee did not give Hunt any punishment, which also made everyone feel dissatisfied.Fortunately, everyone has been professional players for many years, and the game is still relatively peaceful.Wang Ai is in a more full mental and physical state today, so he has more chances to get the ball, but he has also been taken care of by Reading's defenders.As if he was inspired by the fact that he had just kicked and injured Chelsea's main goalkeeper without any punishment, he also made a very big move on Wang Ai, and Xue Qixuan, who was responsible for marking Wang Ai, did not have the warmth of his Asian compatriots at all, and pushed and rushed very hard.When Wang Ai broke through to the Reading penalty area, both Songko and Inji Marsen had a lot of side-kicks.In short, their low-level habits have not yet been completely changed, and they have been "encouraged" by the referee's softness, which has threatened the more technically dependent Wang Ai, Robben, Shevchenko and Frank Lampard.After all, these big names can't afford to fight against your unknown group of players in Reading, and it wasn't until the end of the first half that Frank Lampard scored from a free-kick.With a satisfactory score of 1:0, the Chelsea players walked off the pitch, and Robben smiled beside Wang Ai and said: "Why didn't you score?
How good was that pass I gave you in 25 minutes?
”Wang Ai laughed in a low voice: "Wait for the second half, they are not so strong, it will be my turn." ”Robben smiled and nodded, this is Wang Ai's habit, when the opponent is too brave and inclined to foul to intercept, he generally lures the opponent, and waits until the opponent's strength and heart are almost consumed before attacking, anyway, he is in good health.In the first half, Wang Ai didn't grab many balls that could be grabbed or not, and Robben was actually the same, he was too easy to get injured, and he had already developed this habit.The two of them walked into the locker room and realized that the atmosphere was not good.Jose's assistant Clarke looked grim on the phone, Jose faced the wall of the dressing room with his head bowed and said nothing, Terry stood next to Clark and listened to the sound of the phone, Lampard stood aside and rubbed his hands nervously, Drogba, Shevchenko, Essien and others all looked at Clark with concern.After hanging up the phone, Clara whispered in José's ear, but in the quiet locker room, where can she really "whisper"?
Everyone clearly heard Clark say, "Skull fracture, dangerous, under surgery." ”José shrugged his shoulders down, let out a low breath, shook his head, glanced back at the locker room, and walked out the door without saying anything.Terry sat down with his head in his hands after a swear word, and the atmosphere in the locker room was extremely oppressive.In Clark's repetition of the tactical arrangement, everyone bows their heads and is speechless, unlike the witty and passionate Jose's narration, even if it is boring, he can say that everyone loves to listen, and Clark is purely simple repetition.Returning from the second half, the atmosphere of the game changed abruptly, stimulated by Cech's serious injury and even life-threatening, the actions of the Chelsea side also became bigger, and the fierce collisions between the two sides were frequently staged, which made Robben suffer from the glass man, and as a result, before the start of the second half was 5 minutes, Robben was replaced by Jose, one was that he was injured in the collision again, and the other was that he had already carried a yellow card in the first half, Jose was afraid that he would be suspended from two yellows and one red.Mikel, who was brought on as an unorthodox winger, seriously hampered Chelsea's ability to link up on the wings, and he was shown a yellow card for a foul on Frank Lampard's free-kick just five minutes later.At the same time, Shevchenko was also seriously violated several times, which made Jose have to hurriedly play a third substitution, and Joe Cole came up and played 433 instead.Fortunately, Wang Ai, who had been silent for half the time, finally broke the deadlock after Sheva came off the pitch, and he used the speed advantage of the counter-attack to tear apart the defence and score from a tight angle under the guidance of Frank Lampard.()
