Chapter 500 God can't take it away(1/2)

The loss to Manchester United at home caused a big blow to Chelsea. In the 35th round of the game against Newcastle, he actually tied 0-0 with his opponent.

This is the second time that Chelsea has scored zero goals on all fronts since the start of this season.

At the end of the season, the sudden sluggish morale and state cast a shadow on the Blues' future. Fortunately, in the FA Cup, the three little ones exploded wildly, bringing the team to the final.

Manchester United is also in a hot state, with Rooney and Ronaldo shining, scoring twice to help Manchester United reach the FA Cup final.

"On May 19, the FA Cup final; on May 24, the UEFA Champions League final. If Chelsea and Manchester United can eliminate Liverpool and AC Milan respectively, they will meet twice in the final stage of the season, and both games are life-and-death battles."

"This afternoon, the Verpool team held a ceremony at its home court, Anfield, to mourn the fans who died 18 years ago in the Searsburg tragedy. Captain Gerald attended in a rare formal attire and was interviewed. He talked about the Champions League semi-finals preparing to compete with Chelsea. The Reds captain said that Kaka's comeback will not have any impact on them. Chelsea without Kaka is incomplete. The bravest fighter should challenge the strongest enemy. The league champion and FA Cup champion have missed Liverpool. He hopes to use a Champions League champion to commemorate the undead in the Searsburg tragedy..."

"Ancelotti: We have competed with Manchester United on all fronts this season. In addition to the domestic league and the FA Cup, we may meet them again in the Champions League final. Every game is very important, and we will of course give our all."

"Shevchenko: Of course I hope AC Milan can beat Manchester United and then meet Chelsea in the final. That will definitely be interesting. Of course, the premise is that we can pass this level of Liverpool and we have sufficient confidence to do this."

"Kaka: The final opponent? I don't want to meet Milan, that must be bad. No matter who wins or loses, it is a painful thing, but I still wish Milan can beat Manchester United... Yes, it's really contradictory... My injury? It's completely healed, I can return to the court at the best... How to play against Liverpool? Defend Gerald, Alonso and Villa, this is the key point... I can't break the record and be sad? Not at all, we have a lot of time and opportunity to create a more brilliant record..."

Before the Champions League semi-finals with Liverpool, the Professional Players Association of England (PFA) first announced the best in the 2007 Premier League.

Although there are three rounds of seasons left and even the final championship is still undecided, there are basically conclusions about the performance of all the players.

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Professional Players Association of England, so this award presentation is of special significance. PFA held an award ceremony at the Grosvenor Hotel in London, and almost all the practitioners who can name their names in England attended the ceremony.

There are not so many messy awards at this award ceremony. In addition to Best Player and Best Young Player, there is also the best team. However, this year is quite special and there is also a special contribution award.

Last year, Kaka won the most important player and best young player awards, becoming the second player in history to win the PFA Best Player and Best Rookie in the same season. The last one was Andy Gray, who set this record when he played for Villa in 1977. In the history of the PFA selection, only two other people have won these two awards in different seasons, namely Liverpool's famous scorer Ian Rush and Manchester United striker Mark Hughes.

This year, Kaka was once again selected as the shortlist for the best player and the best young player. However, because he just won two awards at the same time last season, he is not the biggest favorite. After all, there has never been a player in PFA history that has won two most important awards for two consecutive years.

There are fewer awards and more and more players, and you will take them all by yourself. What else will the organizer use to attract other players in the future?

Of course, this is the reason, but after all, the rules for the selection of awards are on the surface and the rules for professional Premier League players themselves voted for themselves. With the dominance shown by Kaka, it is not impossible to score twice.

The competition for the best player is very fierce. Apart from Kaka, the other five candidates are Ronaldo, Torres, Gerrard, Fabregas and Scholes. The media predicts that Ronaldo is likely to win the award. In Ferguson's words, "A player can score more than 20 goals on the wing in a season, which is a magical thing in any league."

Ronaldo himself was obviously very concerned about this award. He was too lazy to pretend, his fists clenched unknowingly, and his desire to stare at the podium all showed that he was not at all calm.

On the contrary, Kaka was very open-minded and was in a mood to tease Torres, "Don't be nervous, it won't be you anyway."

"..." If it weren't for the wrong occasion, Torres really wanted to take a picture of his forehead with the sole of his shoes.

"It's impossible that it's Gerald, Fabregas, and Ronaldo and Scholes have great hopes."

As soon as he finished muttering, PFA Chairman Gorton Taylor, who had created the atmosphere on the stage, announced the final result.

"The winner is... Kaka! Congratulations to Kaka!"

Kaka's smile froze, turned to look at Torres, wondering if he had heard it wrong.

So fair and just?

Torres quickly pushed hard on his back, "Don't you get up!"

Kaka quickly went on stage to take the trophy from Taylor and shook his hand.

"Thank you PFA, thank you Chelsea, thank you Ancelotti, this award is very important to me..."

Because he was not prepared to receive the prize, Kaka spoke in a bumpy manner at the beginning, but fortunately, he was so rich that he was so frustrated that he organized the language quickly. He stopped after a lot of polite words, which made Taylor, who had seen him speak concisely at the World Football Awards Ceremony, feel a little flattered.

"Okay, thank you Kaka... Wait, don't rush down now. You know, we have another award to be awarded. Maybe you will come up again?"

Everyone laughed.

Of course Taylor knew the result, but he still pretended to open the hand card, because everyone was prepared for his words.

"...The candidates include Chelsea's Kaka, Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo, Arsenal's Fabregas, Manchester City's Richards, Reading's Doyle, and Tottenham's Lennon."

Taylor paused and glanced at the card in his hand casually, "The one who won the best young player in the English Premier League in 2007 is Kaka."

Kaka next to him walked over and shook hands with him for the second time.

Taylor took the trophy from Miss Etiquette and handed it to Kaka, "Congratulations again."

"Thank you," Kaka grabbed a trophy in each hand and looked around, "To be honest, I'm surprised."

"No need to be surprised at all, Kaka, this is everyone's choice, your performance this year is worthy of any trophy."

The award speech this time is much simpler, just say "thank you".

Taylor also went to the next stage: the Premier League Outstanding Contribution Award.

There is no doubt that among the current coaches, only Ferguson is qualified to win this award.

"We are very happy to have Sir Ferguson come here as a guest of honor because this year is a special year. He is the best coach in British history and being able to coach Manchester United for 20 years is an incredible achievement. During this time, Sir Ferguson has won at least 19 trophies, including Premier League, Champions League, European Cup, FA Cup and League Cup, etc. If you add the nine championships he won in Aberdeen, you can understand why he is still the best coach at the age of 65."

Taylor then announced the Premier League All-Squad.

Best goalkeeper: Cech;

Best defenders: Macon, Terry, Ferdinand, Evra;

Best Avant-garde: Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo, Scholes, Gerald;

Best striker: Adriano, Torres.

Chelsea and Manchester United each were selected, becoming the biggest winners. Many media couldn't stand it and formed another team of other popular candidates, Fabregas, Rooney, Berbadov, Sneider, Essin, etc., to fight against PFA, but everyone's attention was attracted by the upcoming Red and Blue Battle. Who can still birds these guys who are all in the hot spots.

On the afternoon of April 25, local time in England, Stamford Bridge Stadium was once again full.

The Liverpool players were warmly welcomed by Blues fans, and the booing and middle fingers have been with them since the warm-up.

"Sadly, although Kaka appeared on the roster, he did not make it to the starter. After all, he has not played for nearly a month. Let's take a look at the starting lineup of both sides.

Chelsea: 4-3-3.

Goalkeeper: Cech;

Defenders: Macon, Lucio, Terry, Grosso;

Midfielder: Essin, Lampard, Figo;

Forwards: Bale, Torres, Reus.

Ancelotti actually arranged a center and two wingers. It seems that Bale and Reus' outstanding performance in the FA Cup has been recognized by the head coach. I hope they will not let Ancelotti down and deliver a satisfactory answer."

“Liverpool 4-4-2.

Goalkeeper: Reiner;

Defenders: Aberoa, Carragher, Agel, Riser;

Midfielder: Gerald, Alonso, Centen, Pennant;

Forward: Kuyt, Villa.

This game is Carragher's 89th appearance in the European arena for the Reds, tying the Liverpool European appearance record held by Callaghan."

This is the 14th meeting between Ancelotti and Benitez. Basically, An Pang has never lost since Kaka came, at least he has tied with Betu.

We are all old acquaintances, so we don’t have to do any temptations, and we just do it as soon as the show begins.

In the 3rd minute, Gerald made a cross from the right, Terry snatched the clearance at 12 yards in front of Kuyt;

In the 6th minute, Liverpool made a mistake in the backcourt pass. Figo forced himself into the penalty area and was knocked down by Carragher. The referee did not make a penalty, and Figo did not pass directly to Torres who was in front of the ball before falling. Chelsea missed the opportunity to take the lead;

Chelsea missed another opportunity in the 8th minute. Bale made a cross from the left, Reus headed the ball from the right side of the penalty area, Torres turned around and stopped the ball from 12 yards, Lampard followed up and shot and was saved by Reina.

With the cheers of home fans, Chelsea's offensive continued.

In the 9th minute, Reus broke through continuously and made a cross from the right. Reina attacked and barely shot the ball. Agre headed the ball not far away. Torres turned around in the penalty area and shot slightly higher.

In the 11th minute, Liverpool finally created a threat. Former Chelsea Dutch winger Centen made a cross from the left, and Terry slipped in the clearance, but fortunately Lucio successfully cleared before Kuyt.

In the 16th minute, Chelsea finally opened the situation.

Reese made a mistake in the frontcourt pass, Lampard accurately grabbed his loophole and handed the ball to Reus on the right with a diagonal pass.

Reus made a shot, but Torres in the middle was unmarked. He easily passed Reina and then pushed the ball to the empty goal.

1-0.

The DJ on the scene immediately started the rhythm and led the home fans to shout.

"Fernando—"

"Torres!"

"Fernando—"

"Torres!"

"The best striker in the Premier League is: Fernando-"

"Torres!"

Benitez looked at the energetic Torres and suddenly felt a little envious.

If this kid could be kidnapped and formed a forward line with Villa, wouldn’t it be so good that even Ferguson was jealous?

Chelsea did not slow down the offense after leading, but instead remained unforgivable and continued to aim at Liverpool's defense line and fired at full speed, but they played too much and soon suffered bitter results.

Terry cleared the midfield with big feet, and the two men fought each other, both sides were injured. Alonso picked up a bargain and hit Kuyt's head with a long pass over the top.
