Chapter 1478 Intimacy
Guardiola's words spread all over the world immediately, but few people knew whether his words were useful or not, because at least at this time, none of Chelsea's generals came forward to comment on it.

In fact, Ai Huan didn't want to be the captain because of the shadow left by Schalke and Fuchs. He really didn't want to do it again. Fortunately, Chelsea didn't have any troubles at this time, which also made Mu Rinho and Ai Huan both heaved a sigh of relief.

However, there have been some changes in the latter situation. First of all, Lampard responded positively to this sentence when he was interviewed, but what he said was "We enjoy the victory very much, and Ai Huan is the kind of person who can bring us victory , so why are we unwilling to admit this fact? In my opinion, he may have a larger proportion, but it is very good, at least I enjoy playing with him."

After he spoke first, many people immediately followed suit. Many people stood up and said similar things one after another. For a while, the outside world saw Chelsea's internal unity. Some people commented on Guardiola's miscalculation, but some people thought it was just a mistake Chelsea's response was just a response. There were different opinions anyway, but the person involved, Ai Huan, didn't say anything about it. This made many people feel a little disappointed, but there was no other way.

After this big battle, Chelsea ushered in the next opponent in the Carabao Cup, but in this game, Ai Fan didn't even appear on the bench. Since then, Chelsea won [-]-[-] with the goals of Lampard and Huntelaar defeated the opponent and successfully entered the next round.

In the subsequent league, Ai Huan appeared in the second half. In the first half, Chelsea and Newcastle scored [-]-[-]. It seemed that the Chelsea players were still a little tired, but the whole form changed after Ai Huan came on the field.

He first scored a long shot to stabilize the team's psychology, and then made two wonderful passes, respectively assisting De Bruyne and Diego Costa who had just recovered from injury. In the end, Chelsea defeated their opponents [-]-[-] in the course. Still going smoothly in the league, firmly occupying the top position in the standings.

Next is the UEFA Champions League group stage. Due to Chelsea's successive victories in the previous games, this also made them ranked first in the group stage, and this game is also the most critical game in this group. Chelsea vs. Schalke, their strongest opponent in the group stage.

Compared with last season, Schalke has changed beyond recognition. They have undergone tremendous changes from the head coach to the players, but what is interesting is that Schalke played well in the league or in the Champions League group stage .Even they ranked second in the UEFA Champions League group stage, and have already confirmed their qualifications for qualifying for the group as early as Chelsea. At this time, this battle is just an easy fight for the first place in the group, and Schalke is only a possibility. , so the outside world didn't pay much attention to this game at all, and everyone's eyes were still on other games.

Schalke played a 4-2-3-1 formation in this game, and the goalkeeper is veteran Hildebrand.Since Zhang Chong left, Schalke has been flustered, and the performance of the second and third goalkeepers is very unstable, which also gives the veteran Hildebrand another chance, and Hildebrand's recent The state is good, which also makes him firmly occupy the main position.

In the back line, the Japanese Atsuto Uchida, Metzelder, Schropp and Ogo appeared on the back line, and the last two of them appeared in the Champions League for the first time, which also made it difficult for the outside to stop this line of defense Chelsea's attack was skeptical.

The midfielder Jones and Neustadter take up this position. Just imagine that a few years ago, this team had a group of good midfielders such as Maputi, Gundogan, Paulinho Fuchs, etc., but now they can only use These people can't help but make people sigh.The front trident is composed of Clemens, Farfan and Draxler. Last season's midfielder was also dismantled into pieces. Clemens is still the Schalke who transferred from Chelsea this season, and the striker Shang Pukki took on the big responsibility alone, and even Demba Ba has left. Now this team can be said to have little similarity to the original.

Chelsea did not send all their main players in this game. After all, this game is not that important, and it is at their home court. Mourinho still made considerable reservations.

They also set up a basic formation of 4-2-3-1. The goalkeeper is England teenager Blackman, who needs game experience very much now, and this game is also very suitable for him.Ivanovic, Marcos, Terry and Cole played on the back line respectively. Most of the others took turns. Get plenty of rest.

The midfielder Cesc Fabregas has firmly occupied the main position, but Xiaofa caught a cold before this game, which also made Mourinho, who originally wanted to try dual-core again, had to use both Lampard and Luiz to start. The front trident has also been adjusted. De Bruyne, Oscar and Moses started together. It is very doubtful whether Mourinho did not take Schalke to heart at all.The striker Mourinho in this game once again sent Diego Costa, who scored a goal in the previous game, which gave him a certain advantage in the competition with Huntelaar.

It may also be because Schalke is really not at the same level as Chelsea now, so the attendance rate at Stamford Bridge is not high today. Looking up, there are many empty seats on the stage, but the diehard fan area is still full. Those who are willing to cheer for the team they support.

Before the game, Mourinho and Boas hugged each other warmly. Everyone knows that Boas used to be Mourinho's subordinate, and he was considered a student, so their personal relationship is still very good. Now they are playing as opponents. There is nothing unhappy about meeting on the field. On the contrary, the emotions of the two people are still very good. The two talked for a long time on the sidelines before they separated, but no one knew what they were talking about. The smiles are very sincere.

The players on both sides also seemed to have a harmonious relationship. Many of them were transferred from the opponent team, so they greeted each other enthusiastically in the player tunnel, and a few people went to the opponent's bench to meet themselves. I greeted familiar players, but none of this was unpleasant, because the relationship between the two clubs has been very close in the past two years.
