Chapter 374 The Shooter Controversy

A week after finishing the first round of the league, Chelsea ushered in the second round of the league.

The opponent is Leicester City.

This is the first time for Chelsea to play at Stamford Bridge in the new season, so the whole team also pays special attention to it.

Gao Han made a slight adjustment to the game lineup. Ferreira at right back was replaced by England teenager Glenn Johnson. He hoped that the England teenager could play his own offensive advantages.

The game went smoothly, and Chelsea opened the scoring in just three minutes of the first half.

Deco's furious shot from the front of the penalty area hit the opponent's defensive player, bounced into the goal, and scored an own goal.

Before the end of the first half, Chelsea scored another goal from Ronaldinho.

The score of two to zero was finally maintained until the end of the game.

The Blues controlled the ball throughout the game, and the ball possession rate was as high as 61%, but the offense was not much of a threat, and the two players Ibrahimovic and Eto'o did not improve much.

On the contrary, it seems that Gao Han arranged them into a room, which actually affected their state.

But Gao Han is very open to this.

When Cantarero worriedly discussed the solution with him, he smirked and said, "Let them play by themselves!"

...

A week later, Chelsea away to Birmingham.

Former Manchester United captain Steve Bruce's team has always been known for being difficult to play, with relatively large moves. It did cause considerable trouble for Chelsea throughout the first half, making it difficult for them to spread and control.

Especially their three-five-two formation, which gathered five players to strangle Chelsea's midfield, made the Blues suffer a lot in this respect. In addition, the team's pass control system has not yet been fully formed, so the scene is very chaotic.

But in the second half, Gao Han adjusted his tactics and actively played on both wings, especially Ronaldinho's side.

It was Ronaldinho's excellent performance on the left, frequently creating threats, and when he dribbled the ball in from the left in the 52nd minute, he created a foul by Birmingham midfielder David Dunn, which led to the latter The player accumulated two yellow cards and was sent off.

With one player missing, Birmingham's situation is over, while Chelsea is like a tiger descending the mountain, and the offensive is like a tide.

In the 53rd minute, Ronaldinho took the lead in scoring directly with a free kick, opening the scoring for Chelsea.

After that, Birmingham fought hard, but only 15 minutes later, Veron scored again and scored 2-0.

After the overall situation was settled, Gao Han replaced Robben, Joe Cole and Good Johnson successively. As a result, Good Johnson calmly seized the opportunity in the 82nd minute, received an assist from Deco, and scored a personal goal. First goal of the season.

Just five minutes later, Robben forced a cross from the left and assisted Deco to score.

Four to zero, Chelsea won a big away game!

In the 38th minute, Ronaldinho probed into the penalty area and hit another clever shot, rewriting the score to 2-0.

But after changing sides to fight again in the second half, Chelsea frequently wasted opportunities, especially Eto'o, who was eager to score a goal, and even flew an empty goal, which made the entire Stamford Bridge wailing.

Chelsea also quickly learned their lesson for wasting chances frequently. Blackburn rewritten the score to 2-1 with the goal of Australian player Emerton in the 82nd minute.

Although Chelsea still won a victory at Stamford Bridge in the end, Eto'o failed to score in four consecutive rounds, which still caused him to encounter controversy from fans and the media, especially that single kick.

In contrast to Arsenal, the first four rounds of the Premier League also had four games and four victories. The main striker Henry scored one goal in each game, and currently ranks second in the Premier League scorer list with four goals.

The current top scorer in the Premier League is Newcastle striker Alan Shearer with five goals.

The England native striker can be said to be in hot form, scoring goals like a tide.

Because of this, after the end of this round of competition, many British media have hyped the agreement with Gao Han, and the Independent even published a headline, A Henry is equal to Eto Oga Ibrahimovic Multiplied by four, greatly ridiculed and ridiculed Gao Han.

For the time being, Gao Han has no way to fight back against this, so he can only bear it temporarily.

But after finishing the fourth round of the league, Gao Han went to Monaco non-stop to participate in UEFA's annual awards conference.

This time he finally got his wish, and won the title of Coach of the Year without any suspense.

Leading Atletico Madrid to win the Triple Crown, if you can't get this award again, it is really unreasonable.

However, Jose Mourinho, who led Porto to win the UEFA Cup, was also nominated. Because the two were also born in Barcelona, ​​they are known as brothers in the same school and have been compared.

But it is a pity that Mourinho was unable to attend the awards conference due to some special reasons.

...

After a fortnight of national team breaks, the Premier League is back on fire.

Chelsea welcome north London side Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge.

Because many players participated in the national team competition, Gao Han rotated the team lineup. As a result, the defense was unstable. In the first 15 minutes, Tottenham Hotspur forward Kanoute scored the goal.

But ten minutes later, Ronaldinho forced a cross from the left, and Ibrahimovic scored with a header in the penalty area, one to one.

Only two minutes later, after Ronaldinho dribbled the ball in from the left, he suddenly hit a curve ball, broke through the North London team's goal again, and reversed the score. one.

After changing sides in the second half, Deco received a through ball from Ronaldinho in the 71st minute, passed the defender in the penalty area, and then made a low shot, extending the score to 3-1.

And when the game reached the 80th minute, Gao Han finally arranged for Cheetah Eto'o to come off the bench.

As a result, this time, Eto'o finally lived up to expectations, and calmly seized the opportunity in stoppage time. After receiving a cross from Robben's forced breakthrough from the left, Eto'o scored a point from close range in front of the goal, 4-1.

In the end, Chelsea reversed Tottenham Hotspur 4-1 at home and won the London derby.

After the fifth round, Arsenal, which also started with four consecutive victories, finally stopped and ushered in a draw.

But Henry scored his fifth Premier League goal of the season.

This also made the British media cheer again.

Because in contrast, Chelsea's two strikers Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Eto'o all added together and only scored three goals.

...

On September 20th, in the sixth round of the league, Chelsea challenged Wolves away.

This time, the Blues in the away game did not show any mercy, and they pressed the Wolves in the half from the beginning of the game.

Terry, Eto'o and Veron scored successively in the first half.

In the 70th minute of the second half, Gao Han reserved his strength for the UEFA Cup in midweek and replaced Good Johnson.

As a result, Good Johnson scored two goals in just 20 minutes, expanding the score to 5-0.

This also allowed the Icelandic striker to become the team's top scorer with three goals, overtaking Ibrahimovic and Eto'o.

In this round, Arsenal challenged Manchester United in an away game, and the two sides finally drew a zero-to-zero tie.

However, a number of British media reported after the game, calling on Gao Han to support Goodjohnson, because the Icelandic striker's three goals this season were all scored from the bench, and the efficiency is amazing.

Some media even joked sarcastically: "If Gao Han wants to win the bet with the media, then he should make Good Johnson the main striker!"

But more still feel puzzled or even dissatisfied with Gao Han's continued trust in Ibrahimovic and Eto'o.

Especially in the middle of the week, Chelsea went to Slovenia to challenge the Olympia team away. As a result, the Blues were unable to score for a long time even though they had a firm advantage throughout the game and created quite a few chances.

In the end, relying on the goal of Joe Cole, who came off the bench, he beat the opponent 1-0.

This made Gao Han furious in the locker room after the game, and even severely punished Ibrahimovic and Eto'o, thinking that they should reflect on their performance in the game.

But three days later, I returned to London, returned to Stamford Bridge, and ushered in Aston Villa.

As a result, Chelsea's forward attack still did not improve much.

Finally, in the 88th minute of the second half, Good Johnson saved the team again, 1-0, and Chelsea once again kept the victory.

But this time, Gao Han didn't get angry, but calmly said a harsh word in the locker room.

"I have to reconsider whether all players are worthy of this starting qualification."

This simple sentence sounded like a thunder in the locker room.

…………

…………

Although Chelsea's performance has been mixed, at least it has continued Gao Han's consistent excellent record, starting with seven consecutive victories, allowing the Blues to become the undisputed leader of the Premier League standings.

In second place is Arsenal.

The Gunners' record this season is also quite good, with five wins and two draws in seven games, scoring seventeen points.

Manchester United is temporarily ranked third, with six wins and one draw in seven games, and 16 points.

Steve Bruce's Birmingham are fourth with fourteen points.

Further behind are Manchester City and Southampton with 12 points, and Liverpool and Fulham with 11 points.

Tottenham Hotspur and Leeds United are even worse, ranking eighteenth and nineteenth respectively.

Liverpool's Owen scored six goals, tied with Bolton's Anelka and Southampton's James Beatty.

On the contrary, before the season, Ibrahimovic and Eto'o, who were highly hyped because of a bet in Gao Han, have scored two goals each so far. Compared with the first group army, the gap is still quite obvious.

This also made the British media generally ignore Chelsea's impressive record, but focused on hyping the shooter battle.

The Independent, in particular, put a score of seven to two in red on the sidebar of the front page to show their support for Henry and their satire and sarcasm for Gao Han.

At the same time, the news about the strengthening of Gude Johnson and even the introduction of Shevchenko during the winter break is once again clamoring.

A week later, Chelsea challenged Middlesbrough in an away game. Alpine finally made a decision in response to public opinion, arranging Icelandic striker Gudjohnson to start. Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Eto'o didn't even enter the squad.

As a result, the Icelandic striker scored a goal to help Chelsea beat Middlesbrough 2-0 away.

As a result, the voice for righting Good Johnson is even louder.
