The prince feels that there is no need to think so much now. Whether it is the European Golden Globe Award or the World Footballer, he will definitely not have a share for the time being. After all, he has just made his debut and has no outstanding results. Although his performance is amazing, but
Unfortunately, the attention of the Bundesliga is still too low, and there is no chance to appear in the European competition, so it is still developing honestly.
Prince's game against Newcastle cannot be counted as an appearance at all, so his Premier League debut cannot be counted as a performance. The next round will be January 1st, which is New Year's Day in 2008, when Chelsea plays away to Fulham.
Probably Prince's first game in the Premier League.
The recent schedule of the Premier League is very strict, even a little inhumane. For example, Chelsea has a game on the 26th, a game on the 29th, and another game on the 1st, and the three games are all relatively important league games.
, such an abnormal schedule made the miserable coach Grant scold him. But fortunately, the team's new core Callejon has no physical problems, and he also had a good rest during the winter break. This is the biggest good news.
The team had two days off after the game against Newcastle. The players were really tired, especially some veterans. Playing for 90 minutes sometimes really cost them their lives.
On the morning of the game day, the team gathered to start simple training and practice the lineup. As for the training game, it was skipped. Now if we play for dozens of minutes, then the night game will really be given up. Probably that is
After the players have stretched their muscles, they have to gather for the away game. Although it is not far away, it is definitely a torture for the players who hate the traveling process.
There was no time to adapt to the ground. When I arrived at the Kayun Farmhouse Stadium, I warmed up directly and adapted to the ground. However, this did not matter. The management of the Premier League is very strict, and the quality of the turf can definitely stand the test, so there is no need for it.
There is a question of adaptability.
Fulham currently has a poor record and is only ranked second from the bottom in the standings. The newly appointed former Inter Milan coach Hodgson is looking forward to using victory as a tribute to his first coaching game at Fulham. Before the game, the players of the two teams and the audience cheered.
A moment of silence was observed for O'Donnell, the Scottish Premier League player for Motherwell who unfortunately passed away on the field last weekend.
Chelsea are short of major generals in this game, Cech has a muscle strain, and Cudicini naturally starts the game. However, the performance of the Italian goalkeeper has not been very stable. If mistakes are made in this game, the result will be difficult to predict; Shevchenko
Due to lack of physical strength, Grant had no choice but to let Kalou replace Sheva as the forward. Although this Ivory Coast striker combination is full of impact, its ability to seize opportunities is not very satisfactory; the two defenders Ashley Cole and Ka
Vallo was suspended due to receiving a red card in the last round. Alex and Glen Johnson started the game. The strength of this backline combination is still good, not much worse than the main combination. If you include Prince's starting appearance and replacement, the original
With Wright-Phillips as the main force, Chelsea's strength has not declined much. Facing a weak team, it is natural to win the game. Not to mention the prince's debut, he will never let this game be messed up.
Don't forget that he has a killer weapon like a sure-fire goal.
After the start of the game, Fulham, who were playing at home, took advantage of their momentum to take the lead. After a few simple passes, Koncheski's diagonal shot from a small angle on the left side of the penalty area was saved by Cudicini. This may be the opening sneak attack tactic arranged by the opponent's coach. Good.
The Italian goalkeeper was focused and didn't make any mistakes. In the 7th minute, Fulham took a corner kick and no one hit the ball. Chelsea counterattacked from the right and Prince dribbled the ball into the penalty area. Fulham's defensive players thought he was going to directly
The two men blocked the shot from various angles. Unexpectedly, the prince passed the ball through the gap in front of the goal like a stroke of genius. As long as someone in front of the goal touched it lightly, Chelsea took the lead. But no one expected that Drogba
Although this rough guy appeared in the right position in front of the goal, the shot that was so close was actually kicked out of the goal frame by him. He was so annoyed that he almost hit the goal post with his head. The prince didn't care about this.
He doesn't care, he also knows that Drogba is not a point-grabbing forward, otherwise his talent will really be wasted, and from the first few minutes, it is difficult for Fulham to pose any threat to Chelsea. There are many opportunities, if
With good luck, even winning by a big score is not that difficult...
But no one expected that the situation would change a few minutes later, and the person who made the mistake this time was another Cole. In the 10th minute, the Fulham midfielder controlled the ball and handed it to the right. Walls took the ball to the penalty area.
Joe Cole returned to the defense and tripped Walls in the penalty area. The referee decisively awarded a penalty kick. Judging from the slow motion, Cole seemed to have completely ignored him when he chased back. His head was hot, but his kick was clean and neat.
, but instead of grabbing the ball, he directly knocked down the Fulham player. A foul is a foul. No matter how the Chelsea players interceded, the referee still firmly awarded a penalty kick. After all, this is Fulham's home court, even if
If he wanted to favor Chelsea, he wouldn't do it so obviously, let alone why Mao wanted to favor Chelsea. Danny Murphy faced Cudicini and pushed a right-footed shot from the left side of the goal into the net, but the Italian judged the wrong direction.
This is not to blame on his head. As for penalty kicks, the probability of saving them is still relatively small. Failure to save them is not the goalkeeper's responsibility.
Joe Cole, who made the mistake, seemed to have lost his mind. Because of his mistake, the team fell behind in the away game. This made him feel so embarrassed that his head was almost stuck in his crotch in frustration.
"Okay, don't act like a girl. You just lost a goal. You'll get it back in a few minutes. Hurry, pass the ball to me later." The prince saw that this guy was not in a good mood and quickly comforted him.
After the restart, Chelsea finally got into the game, actively running and defending, and the midfielder gradually suppressed Fulham. In the 15th minute, Chelsea received a throw-in from the right frontcourt, and Essien sent the ball to the prince.
, the prince passed the ball through the middle of the frontcourt. Kalou got rid of the opponent's defender and then entered the penalty area to face the attacking goalkeeper and sent the ball into the door. However, the referee blew the whistle to indicate that Kalou had committed a handball foul. Now the Chelsea players were all
Quit, it was obviously a good goal that was blown away, and this was not the first time in this game that a penalty was favored by the home team Fulham. All Chelsea players on the field ran to the referee to protest.
Even Cudicini, who had been lingering near the goal, ran 70 meters to the opponent's goal to argue with the referee. The scene was completely chaotic. Chelsea coach Grant ignored his demeanor and roared at the fourth official on the sidelines, as if he found himself
As hysterical as being cuckolded, the unlucky fourth official was sprayed with saliva. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and shouted at the referee and kicked Grant directly into the stands. At this time, the Chelsea players completely exploded, like a
An enraged lion wanted to tear the damn referee into pieces, but the assistant coach saw the referee's conspiracy and quickly called the substitutes and other staff to stop all the players on the field. He didn't want to do it because of
The team had less than 7 players and was directly sentenced to lose. Under the obstruction of many personnel, the players finally restrained their emotions, but the referee did not let them go just like this, and separately punished Joe Cole, who was the most emotional just now.
It only took a yellow card from Ballack to settle the matter.
The prince originally thought that the Premier League, the most watched league in the world, should be relatively clean, but such a ridiculous thing happened on his debut today. The prince felt alienated and angry, but it was not his intention to take action directly.
Style, he likes to give others thunderous blows when they are most proud. The prince came to the referee, shook his finger, then shook his head in disdain and walked away, telling the players to get back to their positions and continue the game. The poor referee thought that the prince would
There was a scene of beating the referee. My heart was pounding. When I found out that the prince was just coming to provoke me, I finally plucked up the courage and showed another yellow card to the back of the prince who was walking towards his half.
.
Fulham's goal kick, but now Chelsea's formation is very high, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a full-court press. The goalkeeper did not find a chance to pass to the defender, and could only send a big kick to the front. As for who
Getting the ball is what God should worry about. Unsurprisingly, Essien relied on his abnormal body to lean on the opponent's player to intercept the ball, and then handed it to the prince who came to respond...
Although the prince is still in an explosive state, his mind is still clear. If you want to take the initiative in this situation, you must quickly equalize the score, and the best way to score quickly is to score a sure-shot goal. But the prince is now too far away from the goal
, it doesn’t make much sense to always make lob shots from midfield. It feels like there is too much luck involved, so the prince chose to dribble forward.
Because the prince has never been in the Premier League, Fulham players only know that he performed well in the Bundesliga, but they don't know how much his true strength is. There is no focus on defense. There is only one
The midfielder swayed up to grab the ball, and his leisurely manner was outrageous. Faced with such an inconsistent defense, it was impossible for the prince not to pass even if he wanted to. There was no extra movement, just a sharp move forward, and that was it.
Having already thrown him away, he continued to attack forward.
The first step of Prince's breakthrough was so fast that few defensive players could keep up. Other Fulham players were also taken aback by Prince's explosive power. The other two midfielders exchanged glances.
He rushed towards the prince.
Facing the menacing two cheetah-like defensive players, the prince's pressure increased sharply. It was not that he was afraid of not being able to break through, but that he was afraid of being injured. Who knows what Fulham's players are worried about now. He didn't want to end up in his first game.
It was a sad ending. The prince knocked the ball to Joe Cole on the wing and quickly rushed forward. After passing two defensive players, Cole accurately returned the ball, a beautiful one-two match.
In the process of rushing forward, the football appeared accurately on the prince's sprint route. It seems that the England international is not a smooth talker.
"A sure-fire goal," the prince muttered silently in his mind, raised his right foot, the height was almost higher than his shoulder, and hit the center of the ball hard. The next second, the football had already appeared in the goal, and with such force
The ball passed through the net and went straight to the base of the stands. The players from both sides and the fans in the audience were dumbfounded, especially Fulham's goalkeeper Niemi, until the referee blew the whistle to indicate that the goal was valid.
I understand what exactly happened just now.
After scoring the goal, the prince stood on the spot and roared to the sky, venting his out-of-control emotions. Indeed, who would have thought that such a nonsense would happen in the first game. Other Chelsea players came over to celebrate with the prince. This was also the reason why the prince was
The first goal in the Chelsea era is very historic.
The role of the leader was finally highlighted at this time. Prince's goal and the momentum of celebration directly detonated all the Chelsea players, and the following game became a one-sided massacre.
In the 18th minute, Chelsea launched an attack with a long pass from the backcourt. Prince got the ball from the edge of the penalty area and defended it before passing it into the penalty area. However, goalkeeper Niemi got the ball directly.
In the 25th minute, Joe Cole passed the ball diagonally from the left into the penalty area. Prince got the ball directly and was knocked down by Niemi in the penalty area before he could make any move. However, the linesman signaled that Prince was offside and there was no penalty kick. This
The penalty is also controversial, but Chelsea no longer cares about how the referee makes the penalty. With their strength here, all small tricks are useless.
In the 31st minute, Essien intercepted the ball in the backcourt and counterattacked, passing it to Joe Cole on the right. Joe Cole broke through the penalty area and passed the ball in front of the goal. Drogba failed to fight for this point, and Niemi got the ball.
In the 32nd minute, Fulham's counterattack was directly destroyed by Essien's foul. Fulham won a free kick about 25 meters away from the goal. Davis's free kick hit the goal directly, and the ball was slightly higher than the crossbar.
In the 35th minute, Lampard controlled the ball in the backcourt and handed it to the right. Ballack passed it to Prince. Prince once again showed his impactful breakthrough, but this time Prince was disallowed in order to avoid scoring.
, did not choose to stuff the ball into the penalty area, but continued to break through. With a realistic fake move, he knocked down the last defender and then faced the goalkeeper and pushed the ball into the far corner. In fact, the shot of more than 30 points was scored in this one-on-one situation.
It is basically very useful against the goalkeeper. Niemi's movements are very smooth, but it is just a good-looking appearance. Facing the prince's shot, he is helpless and watches the ball roll into the goal against the right post...
After scoring this time, the prince did not choose to celebrate. Instead, he continued to run towards the goal, fished the ball out and ran back. He wanted to continue scoring goals. This was not enough. Some people just need to learn a lesson, otherwise they will never
Don't know who I am.
The Fulham fans at the Cayun Cottage Stadium were angered by the prince's behavior. Although they felt a little embarrassed when the team was taken care of by the referee in previous games, if the team can win, they don't care what the means are.
The game continued, and Fulham's players were also offended by the prince. Although they were not very powerful, they were definitely not objects that could be easily humiliated. Each of their movements began to amplify. When there was time, everyone on the field turned on their backs and fell to the ground.
They are Chelsea players. However, these guys are still reasonable. They have heard that Prince's free kick is not easy, so they carefully control the location of the foul. It is far and away from the goal, so that Prince's free kick stunt cannot be performed.
The prince saw his teammates flinching. Yes, with such a brutal defense, it is very possible to get injured if you are not careful. In serious cases, it is not impossible to be reimbursed for the season.
"Michael, you don't have a red card. It's too arrogant to give these sons of bitches a hard time." The prince was carrying a yellow card, so he couldn't be the bad guy.
"Don't worry, I've failed if I don't let them break off their legs. Look at the show." Essien is not a good boy either, so the prince's words were exactly what he wanted.
Ballack was knocked down again in the midfield. The prince sent the ball to Lampard. As expected, Lampard was tackled. Fortunately, he was prepared. Although his leg hurt, it was just a bruise and he would be gone soon.
It doesn't matter. But what's annoying is that for such an obvious foul, the referee did not interrupt the game but allowed Fulham to continue attacking. At this time, Chelsea's formation was very high and they were counterattacked.
Essien did not attack this time, as if he was waiting for Fulham to counterattack. Facing Danny Murphy who was rushing towards him with the ball, Essien knocked down the opponent with a flying tackle. This action was real.
The unlucky guy who was tackled was now rolling around on the ground with his thighs in his arms. To be honest, such a dangerous move would definitely result in a yellow card. The prince did not hate Essien so much. Maybe he didn't hold back, but the referee didn't do it at this time.
Dare to give a red card. This is obviously a retaliatory foul. The foul just committed by Fulham was not awarded. If he is given a red card again, he will never even think about walking out of the stadium. These villains from Chelsea will make his chrysanthemums bloom.
of.
Under the unspoken rules, Essien only received a yellow card, and Fulham's players were basically frightened. Murphy looked in pain as if it was their tomorrow. They were afraid of the next one lying on the ground.
It was just me, so the next game finally went on the right track, even looking like a friendly match.
Even if Fulham gave up their brutal style of play, Chelsea would not let go of the opportunity to beat the sinking dog. Wave after wave of attacks completely overwhelmed Fulham, and finally scored again at the end of the first half.
One goal, rewriting the score to 1:3. Unlike the two goals scored by the prince before, this goal was entirely based on personal ability. This was a team goal. Chelsea passed more than a dozen consecutive passes in the Fulham half.
, Prince finally found a chance to pass the ball into the penalty area. Drogba suppressed the defensive players and headed the ball into the goal.
The first half of the game is over. Chelsea is still tenacious in the difficult situation where the coach has been sent to the stands. It can be said that Fulham has been defeated in half time. The second half can be said to be garbage time. Grant is in the stands.
, unable to direct the game, the assistant coaches discussed and let the prince play for a while in the second half. If he could score a hat trick, his Premier League debut would be perfect.
