Football: the king of the Champions League

Chapter 0150 – The Devil’s Schedule Begins, Season Sprint!!!

When Jiang Hao left the court, the suspense on the court gradually disappeared.

West Bromwich Albion didn’t work miracles.

Despite their frenzied attack towards Chelsea’s goal in the last twenty minutes.

It’s a pity that under the Mu style iron barrel formation, West Bromwich Albion’s attack was all fruitless…

Victory belongs to Chelsea.

After the game,

Jose Mourinho also took the initiative to shake hands with every Chelsea player in the tunnel.

Although West Brom Albion is not a traditional strong team, because West Brom is currently in the quagmire of relegation, it has almost fought hard in this game…

Fortunately, Chelsea’s players have withstood the onslaught of their opponents again and again.

Firmly held the three points in his hands.

So, for Jose Mourinho, he is quite moved by the tireless running of the players on the pitch.

After the game against West Bromwich Albion,

Chelsea will then face another challenge with Manchester City.

It’s just that it’s not the Premier League, it’s the FA Cup semi-finals.

This season, the teams that have reached the last four of the FA Cup are Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal and Hull City.

If Chelsea want to reach the final, they must first cross Manchester City!!

The other bad news is that the venue is at the Etihad Stadium… Home of Manchester City!!

What makes Mourinho even more troubled is that two days after the match against Manchester City, Chelsea will face Everton at home, and then Inter Milan at home…

Within a week, consecutive FA Cup, Premier League and Champions League matches were played.

This is undoubtedly a huge test for the fitness of the players.

Playing three games in a week with a squad is undoubtedly unrealistic

Therefore, Mourinho has to make adjustments, but Chelsea currently have a thick bench depth and Mourinho has enough options.

The next day, the Cobham training base.

Jose Mourinho has announced his approximate starting line-up for the next game against Manchester City.

“On the forward line, Jiang, and Schurrle, you two will get the starting chance, the other players are to be determined…”

“……”

After such a long period of play, Mourinho also gradually understood Jiang Hao’s strength.

Mourinho is well aware that if Jiang Hao is excluded from the starting list against Manchester City, Chelsea will lose eighty percent.

Now almost the entire Chelsea’s offensive tactics revolve around Jiang Hao.

Therefore, no one can change Jiang Hao!!

This is enough to see how important Jiang Hao’s position is in Mourinho’s mind.

And the reason why Schurle appeared was mainly because he had the best tacit understanding between him and Jiang Hao.

Love House and Uma!

However, this made the Belgian gang led by De Bruyne and Hazard a little unhappy.

Before Jiang Hao joined the team, Chelsea originally hoped to develop Eden Hazard as the core of the team’s future building.

Earlier in the season, Chelsea did the same.

However, as time went on, Jiang Hao’s birth completely disrupted Mourinho’s plan.

“Head!”

“I want to play against Manchester City too!!”

After hearing that Mourinho did not pronounce his name, the young Eden Hazard chose to take the initiative.

Mourinho hesitated.

According to Mourinho’s plan, Eden Hazard will play against Everton.

“I’m sorry Eden, you’re not in my plans.”

After much consideration, Mourinho rejected Eden Hazard’s offer.

“The head… Believe me, I can help Chelsea win against Manchester City! ”

Eden Hazard hasn’t given up yet.

After all, Everton and Manchester City are no longer a rank at all.

The match against Manchester City is a strong conversation, and it is also the semi-final of the FA Cup, if you can play in this game and perform well, it will greatly improve the player’s status in the team, and it will also increase the value…

The game against Everton was almost a mere show, after all, Chelsea have essentially sealed the Premier League title this season.

Which is more important, Azar is still very clear.

“NO！”

But no matter what Eden Hazard said, Mourinho chose to refuse.

Hazard’s face showed dark disappointment.

Behind his back, he secretly said: “It’s really a stubborn old man…”

……

Two days later.

Etihad Stadium.

The semi-finals of the 13-14 FA Cup season are about to begin.

In his pre-match press conference ahead of the game, Manchester City manager Manuel spoke out again.

‘Although in the Premier League we have drifted away from Chelsea, Manchester City and Chelsea are on the same page in the FA Cup.

‘And, more precisely, we have to be more advantageous, after all, we are playing in the Etihad, so in this game, our goal is to win.

Pellegrini does have the capital of hubris.

After all, in the Premier League match against Chelsea, Pellegrini and Mourinho are evenly matched…

At this point, the Etihad Stadium was packed.

Blue Moon fans have been waiting for the start of the game for a long time.

Fifteen minutes before the start of the game, the starting lists of the two teams were announced on big screens in the stadium.

On the Chelsea side, Jose Mourinho continued to adopt his 4231 formation.

Goalkeeper: Petr Cech.

Four defenders: Ivanovich, David Luiz, Terry, Ashley Cole.

Two backs: Ramirez, Nemanja Matic,

Three forwards: Schurrle, Oscar, Salah.

Single striker: Jiang Hao.

It’s true that Kevin De Bruyne and Eden Hazard are not in the starting line-up or even on the bench.

On the Manchester City side, Pellegrini chose to send the strongest team to play.

Goalkeeper: Joe Hart;

Four defenders: Kolarov, Nastasić, Kompanisa Baleta;

Four midfielders: Keylor Navas, Demichelis, Yaya Toure, David Silva;

Two strikers: Dzeko and Sergio Aguero;

Compared to the last game, Manchester City have only made a personnel adjustment.

That was when Sergio Aguero replaced Negredo.

Inside the player tunnel.

The relationship between the players on both sides is quite friendly, and the teammates of the national team also greet each other.

And Aguero also took the initiative to come to Jiang Hao’s side to greet.

It’s just that Aguero’s pleasantries are more like a challenge to selfishness.

Jiang, I didn’t expect to fight again.

“Only this time, you are not as lucky as before.”

‘We at Manchester City will beat you at home and then reach the finals and win the title.’

Jiang Hao spread his hands and said without care: “Wait and see.” ”
