Chapter 559 The necessary price

The league has passed nine rounds and is close to a quarter-quarter schedule. In a face-to-face match, Chelsea led the league's strongest opponent, Leiden Oriental, by eight points. However, after this round of league, no one in Chelsea could be happy.

With two goals leading, there was one more person on the court. In this situation where it can be said that it was too good to be better, the opponent scored two goals in the last ten minutes of the game, losing a good game. This draw was even more unpleasant than a loss.

Xiao Ming's key substitution in the game made Leiden East snatch a point from Stamford Bridge, which made people's evaluation of Xiao Ming surpass Mourinho. For the English media, they naturally hope that the best coach in the league is the British, even a Chinese with a British passport - who made the current local coaches in England lack? The two best ones are Scots...

However, although the fans of Leiden East left Stamford Bridge with their heads high, the members of Leiden East coaching team were also happy for this difficult draw, but Xiao Ming was a little unhappy.

Chelsea left eight points away, and Leiden East will face a series of powerful opponents next, plus the huge fines to be issued... Xiao Ming knew that Leiden East would probably encounter a lot of trouble during the next period of time.

Sure enough, less than half a day after the league ended, Leiden Oriental immediately received a ticket from the FA.

In response to the fight at Wigan Athletic in the eighth round of the league, the FA issued a ticket comparable to the battle between Manchester United and Arsenal a few years ago. Five players from both sides were punished, with the total amount of fines exceeding 200,000 pounds. Among them, Wigan Athletic, as the home team, was fined 120,000 pounds for poor maintenance, and Leyton East was 80,000 pounds. Mascherano was suspended for five games because he was the first player to take action. Ronaldo, as an accomplice, was suspended for four games. After the game, Lucio, Ashley Cole and Gerrard were identified as participating in the fight. They were suspended for two games each. In addition to the last game, Bentley who had red cards and injured Ronaldo and Jinklaze, the number of people who could use in the first team of Leiden East was suddenly reduced to 16, including three goalkeepers...

However, this is good news for members of the Leiden Oriental Reserve and Youth Team. Rodwell and Sturridge were transferred to the first team to enrich the team's staff.

Xiao Ming felt that he was a bit unlucky. He did not have such a large-scale suspension last season when he was strong. This season, he just started to reduce the first-team members and encountered such a thing, especially on the wing side, where none of the three wing side assaulters could play. Fortunately, there was also Messi...

Fortunately, Leiden Oriental does not need to bear this loss in the Champions League.

Leiden Oriental, who was lightly equipped, flew to Greece and tied with Panasinakos away to zero. Xiao Ming consciously allowed all the suspended players to play and used new players in other positions, but the effect was not very good.

After returning to the league, Xiao Ming could only send out such a lineup - goalkeeper Jasqueline, defenders Daniel, Heipia, Campbell, Sun Jihai, midfielder Marklele, Pirlo, Holland, forwards Fanny, David White and Bent, and Messi, although he had a stunning performance after coming on as a substitute in the last game, Xiao Ming still didn't want him to play in such a hasty appearance before he fully adapted to the Premier League.

You should know that no matter what league, there are situations targeting new players, especially for the World Youth Championship Golden Ball Golden Boot member like Messi. Although Saviola performed well in his first season at Barcelona, ​​he was always targeted by the opponent. In addition, he himself was not very adapted to the intensity of the European League, so the worse the game, the less confident the worse the game, the less confident it became, causing a vicious cycle.

Xiao Ming doesn't want this, and he doesn't want to cause any problems to Messi's future development.

The only thing that made Xiao Ming feel a little lucky is that the next few opponents are not strong. Arsenal will have to meet in the 15th round, and all the players will be able to release the ban.

Leiden East, who was at home, still showed its strong strength. Although they lost seven main players, they were still not something West Bromwich could shake. White, who played center, rushed in the frontcourt, and a full-energy Bente also attacked in the frontcourt, which quickly slammed West Bromwich's defense line. Fanny scored the first record for Leiden East in the chaos. Pirlo secured the victory with a free kick in the second half. Leiden East defeated his opponent 2-0 at home.

Next in the Champions League game, Leiden Oriental players who were unable to play in the league spread all their anger on their opponents. The five-to-zero score made Panasinacos cry without tears. Ronaldo played a hat trick in the game, and Ronaldo and Jin Clarze, who returned from injury, also scored one goal each. After four Champions League games, Leiden Oriental won three wins and one draw. The other three opponents' points were unexpectedly four points. Although Leiden Oriental still has the possibility of being eliminated, everyone knows that it is only a matter of time before they qualify from this group.

After returning to the league, Leiden East won two consecutive games. They first took three points from the Valley Stadium with a golden goal from Messi who came out of the bench away. After returning to home, Leiden East defeated Tottenham with a goal of 1-0 by Ronaldo and won three consecutive games. Just after the main players released the ban and returned, they unexpectedly lost to Birmingham 0-1 away. They continued their home wins this season, but their results were only considered ordinary.

After the 13th round of the league, Leiden East ranked third with eight wins, two draws and three losses. Manchester United is above them, but Manchester United is only one point higher than them. Although Chelsea was tied by Leiden East and lost to Manchester United away, they achieved a record of complete victory in the remaining eleven league games. Now they have 34 points, ranking first, and continue to maintain a seven-point and eight-point lead over the two strongest pursuers behind them.

But what makes Chelsea fans unhappy is that when the reporter asked Xiao Ming and Ferguson about Chelsea's strength this season, Xiao Ming smiled and said, "We have reversed two seasons." Ferguson said with a stern face, "We have all won the championship after 12 points behind." Anyway, the meaning inside and outside is that Chelsea's lead is nothing now. If you want to say it's awesome, it depends on them...

However, the league has only thirteen rounds, and the entire league still has a long time, and eight points is not a particularly difficult point gap. The two opponents, Leiden Oriental and Manchester United, have never lost to them in the face-to-face competition...

The league has indeed not started yet. Mourinho wants to lead Chelsea to win the first league championship in 50 years, and he still has to win one game after another.

In the fifth round of the Champions League, Leiden Oriental, who was at home, defeated Bremen three-to-one and took the lead in winning the first place in the group. Next, they can put all their energy into the league, win one by one, and wait for Chelsea to make mistakes - their existence is enough to make Chelsea dare not feel any relaxed in the league.

In the 14th round of the league, Ronaldo finally released the ban and returned. He recently performed extremely well in the Champions League and brought his good form to the league. One goal and one assist to help Van Nicht score, Ronaldo became the best player of the game. With his efforts, Leiden East defeated Fulham and fell off 3-1, 3-1, 2-0, Chelsea defeated Portsmouth 2-0 away, and Manchester United also defeated West Ham United 2-1 away. The top three points rankings have not changed at all.

In the 15th round of the league, after all the players of Leiden Oriental came back from the ban, Leiden Oriental welcomed Arsenal at home.

Arsenal's performance this season is not very good. They have lost four games in the league so far. However, because of the relatively high winning rate, they are only three points behind Leiden East. If they can beat Leiden East, they will surpass Leiden East and become the third in the league - but since the beginning of this season, Leiden East has won all the results in the new stadium, which is enough to make any strong opponent feel scared.

"Because we are going to participate in the first World Club Champions League, we will postpone the 17th round of the league. Before that, we will win all the leagues so that Chelsea will not be left behind too many points. This is my bottom line. Can you do this?" Xiao Ming encouraged the players in a unique way.

To win a complete victory before participating in the Club World Cup, the minimum requirement is to win this game - do the players of Leiden East have any hesitation about this issue?

"Boss, look at us!" Little Luo waved his fists and showed his loyalty to Xiao Ming, while another culprit of the suspension, Mascherano, nodded silently to Xiao Ming.

"Okay, prepare to play. I won't say much about some things, but sometimes men need to have some blood on the court. Football is a sport for men. If you can remain indifferent when you see your teammates being violated on the court, no one will like this kind of person. Although your impulse last time caused some losses, the club will still support you if this happens in the future! However, you must understand the difference between toughness and intentional injury. Our Layton East does not have the honor of playing and fighting. You must distinguish this boundary."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Ming also mentioned the fact that he had been dealing with the FA ticket in a cold manner. After all, a thorn team may benefit at some point, but they will never benefit forever.

Moreover, Xiao Ming knew what kind of head coach Wenger was. Although his Arsenal had always played gorgeous offensive football, he was never a soft persimmon in terms of fouls. For several years, Arsenal's number of cards was at the forefront of the Premier League. Although Vieira, the red and yellow card king, has left and replaced the more technical Fabregas, they will not decline too much in terms of fouls.

If the players were not given vaccinations at this time, Xiao Mingzhen didn't know whether Wenger would use fouls to arouse the anger of Leiden Oriental players.

Sitting in the visiting team coach's seat and looking at the 60,000 Leiden Oriental fans around him shouting collectively, Wenger couldn't help but feel a hint of envy in his eyes.

The ones that restrict Wenger and Arsenal have always been funding issues. People often say that Wenger has a pedophile, but if he can buy stars, Wenger will never be ruthless. He also bought a lot of players who played. In the past, Vertod, Reyes, Heleb, and Arshavin in the future, he would not be too stingy when Wenger felt good and had a good deal. However, in order to build a new stadium, he had tightened his belt for several years. The new stadium could have been built this year, but it was forced to postpone due to funding. This has also caused countless speculations about whether the stadium was going to be stranded. In fact, if Dane had not found Emirates, the big sponsor, he might have really stopped working - and the construction time of the stadium was postponed for a season, so Arsenal also sold the naming rights of the new stadium.

Wenger never envied anyone, but at this time he was a little envious of Xiao Ming. If he could do it again, he might go to coach Leiden East, which is still in the League Two, and ask Xiao Ming to make money and buy people and help him build the court - as long as the other party does not interfere with his coaching...

But obviously, this is impossible.

After a little fantasy, Wenger quickly focused on the game.

In this game, Arsenal's main left-back Carlaze was unable to play due to injury, so Wenger could only send French veteran Nishioka as the left-back. This was immediately pursued and beaten by Xiao Ming as the key attack. After all, even Nishioka played as a central defender, he was just a central defender with a height and slow reaction like a wooden stake. Many media sarcastically said that he could stay in Arsenal only because he was Wenger's fellow villager...

Judging from Nishioka's performance in this game, maybe Wenger really took his money to let him play...

Since the beginning of this season, although Ronaldo played on two sides, he was more likely to rush in the penalty area. The number of goals he scored has increased significantly this season. However, in this game, he became the pure winger who had just landed in England, constantly breaking through from the right, torturing Nishioka's nerves.

Nishioka was not inferior to him, and his flexibility and speed were tortured in front of Ronaldo, who was two levels higher in flexibility and speed. Even if he was fouled, it was difficult for him to meet Ronaldo, forcing Gilberto Silva to retreat and fill up the position, which also affected Pire's assist. Pire's assist became weak and Daniel's assist began to become active.

If Toure and Sendros were not doing very well, Ronaldo's breakthrough on the wing would be enough for Arsenal's defense line to have a good time.

After twenty minutes of resistance, Arsenal's city gate finally broke. After Ronaldo broke through the side, he passed the ball to Daniel who had assisted. Daniel made a beautiful cross with his right foot. Arsenal's defense line was already in a mess. The defenders were all staring at the forwards of Leiden East, so that when Mascherano penetrated into the penalty area, it was Fabregas who was responsible for defending him. Although he was not much taller than Fabregas, Maschela piao astronomy in terms of strength...

After scoring the goal, Mascherano was extremely excited. He rushed to the bottom of the stands and shouted loudly, and the fans in the stands also gave him the warmest response.

"Javier Mascherano! Argentina's first goal in Leyden East! Perhaps it was five bans that made him so badly. In the first game of his return after being released from ban, Mascherano announced his return with a goal!"

After gaining the leading advantage, Leiden East performed more easily. They were considered to be with Nishioka Maki. Not only Ronaldo and Daniel, but even Kim Kraze often switched to join in the fun. Although he was a left forward, his foot was his right foot, and there was no pressure to play here.

In the 32nd minute, Leiden Dongfang expanded the score. Gilberto Silva made a serious mistake under heavy pressure. He hesitated when passing the ball in the backcourt. Ronaldo, who was inserted, quickly reached out and intercepted the ball successfully, and then transferred the ball into the penalty area. Fanny, who was already unpreserved in the penalty area, easily pushed the ball to score, 2-0.

After gaining a two-goal lead, Leiden East began to retreat to a limited extent. After the second half, Xiao Ming replaced Jin Clarze with Messi, and Ronaldo appeared on the left. A few minutes later, he replaced Fanny with Ronaldo. Leiden East played a running and shooting in the frontcourt - the three players were all players with speed, skills, coordination, and flexibility and strength. Arsenal wanted to attack, but it was difficult to tear open the opponent's defense line under the layers of defense. However, the counterattack of the three players in Leiden East always made their defense line go wild for a while...

Ronaldo, who continued to perform well in this game, scored a goal in the second half. Ronaldo received a pass from Messi and passed the ball to Ronaldo again. When Ronaldo received the ball, he was already in the penalty area without defending. Facing the helpless Lehman, Ronaldo put an end to his perfect performance in the game with a push shot.

Three to zero, Arsenal lost without saying anything away, and Wenger is still paying for his approach to reinforcing Fabregas. Although this is the right approach, there will inevitably be pain in the process.

The price of youth and the price of growth are topics that no head coach can avoid, just like sending away Figo and Ronaldo for Ronaldo for the sake of Ronaldo, Messi and Xiao Ming. It may temporarily affect the team's performance, but it is a price that must be paid.
