Chapter 169 The Origin of Pepe
It's not easy for Lampard to decide the outcome with Morris.
If you are a forward player, scoring a goal is the most direct way to decide the outcome, but as a midfielder, even if they are the core of the two teams, it is not easy for them to score goals. Depends on the outcome of the two teams.
Lampard knows that he is not as good as Morris, who has a strong sense of the overall situation in terms of organizational and offensive ability, but he believes that his personal ability is better, but on the field, there is no opportunity to directly compete with the two's personal abilities. Therefore, it is very difficult to prove this kind of individual ability comparison. It still depends on the whole game, and even at the end of the whole game, it is difficult to see who has the stronger personal ability. After all, we are in two teams. , the level of defense in the face is also different, unless there is a very special performance, it is very difficult to prove anything.
However, on the field, it is easy to decide the outcome of the other "pair", that is, the much-watched Andrei Shevchenko and the Manchester City defender, the young Koppelle Ferreira.
Shevchenko was the most watched player in this game. He is the most famous among the 22 players on the scene. This is also his first game in Chelsea, so even if he does not have the ball, the camera will frequently point at him. When he has the ball, almost all commentators will focus on what he did.
So Koppelle Ferreira, who was the main defender of Shevchenko's position, was also highlighted by the media commentator.
If Shevchenko performs well, Koppelle Ferreira will definitely be ignored, and various media commentators will loudly applaud Shevchenko's performance. Naturally, as a leafy foil, Koppeller Ferreira will be La has become a passer-by, and there is no need to say his name at all.
The point is, Shevchenko is not doing well!
When Shevchenko didn't do well. Some media commentators began to look for the reason. They quickly found Koppelle Ferreira who was guarding Shevchenko, and then paid attention to his defensive performance against Shevchenko.
Then many media narrators shouted --
"Koppelle Ferreira, he blocks Sheva's pass again!"
"Sheva was intercepted, it's Manchester City's central defender. Young Portuguese star Koppelle Ferreira!"
"He is only 23 years old this year. It is unimaginable that such a young central defender will mainly limit the famous Andrei Shevchenko in the Premier League!"
"Shevchenko was almost useless under Ferreira's defense..."
"The new game statistics, so far, Shevchenko has not successfully broken through Ferreira's defense once, whether it is a personal breakthrough or cooperation with teammates, there is no..."
"Shevchenko was completely restrained by the Portuguese central defender!"
"..."
Various media commentators said that Shevchenko was completely restrained. It's really not an exaggeration at all. Thirty minutes have passed, and Shevchenko has barely performed.
The support from his Chelsea team-mates is not bad, but he wastes chances more often.
Many times, when Koppelle Ferreira's point is not reached at all, Shevchenko will lose the ball due to coordination problems, or he can't get the ball at all in his position, and he has to face the ball when he gets the ball near the penalty area. Defence against Koppelle Ferreira. Then he found this 'unknown' young Portuguese central defender, between him and the goal. Insurmountable moat.
So far in the game, Shevchenko has been directly intercepted by Koppelle Ferreira twice and indirectly intercepted twice.
It's no exaggeration for the media commentator to say that he 'hasn't managed to break through Ferreira's defense once', he really failed to break through Ferreira's defense, the only shot was a long shot from the outside of the box, and he didn't even have the strength. Can play, not to mention the threat to the goal.
In short, so far, Shevchenko has not shown any performance.
So many media commentators found reasons for Shevchenko's poor performance. This is definitely not a problem of Shevchenko's ability.
As the main striker who has won the Ballon d'Or, has been awarded the Eastern European Footballer of the Year in a row, and was the main striker of AC Milan for several seasons, he has won various championship awards and is still worth 50 million euros in his late 30s. There is no doubt about ability.
So he is not suitable for the Premier League? This is for sure.
But the media commentator must not say the same, because the concept is too general and cannot be used as a direct cause at all, then the direct cause has been found, that is, the defense of Manchester City's main central defender Koppelle Ferreira is too good !
That's great!
So far, Koppelle Ferreira has not made a mistake in defense and has been in the right position to intercept Chelsea's attack time and time again.
Not only did he successfully defend against Shevchenko, but he also performed quite well on Chelsea's overall offense. He was even more eye-catching than his partner, the experienced Dunn!
One of the most powerful proofs is that many Manchester City fans who followed the team to London are shouting the name of Kepler Ferreira. As a Portuguese player, the name of "Kepler-Laveran-Lima-Ferreira" is really Some were too long, so the fans called Ferreira's name "Kepler" directly, and then the pitch changed again and again, and finally even the pronunciation of the first 'K' was omitted, but instead repeated 'pler', It was like the swearing 'Bah' from the Chinese world. It was quite emotional to shout, and then more fans shouted, and the shout of 'Pepepe' had a place in the noisy stadium for a while.
Hearing the shouts in his ears, Wan Sheng's expression was a little complicated.
In his previous life, Koppelle Ferreira was affectionately called 'Pepe' by Chinese fans. He originally thought that this was the code name given to Pepe by Chinese fans, but now hearing the voices of fans, it seems that the name of 'Pepe' has already passed. It started to spread.
Wansheng feels complicated, like witnessing history.
But in fact, he is going through the process of forming the name 'Pepe'. This feeling of knowing the result and experiencing it again makes his mood a bit complicated, but now, Koppelle Ferreira can stand in the Premier League. The arena, representing Manchester City and Chelsea, was also facilitated by him.
So, he is the one who wrote this history?
Although this history does not seem to be very important, Wansheng still feels that his butterfly effect seems to be getting more and more violent, and Koppelle Ferreira won the gratifying name of 'Pepe' ahead of time. Will his future achievements become even greater?
definitely will!
After having his own training, if Koppelle-Ferrera is still the original achievement, it is really abnormal!
...
Chelsea head coach Jose Mourinho was not in the mood to be like Wansheng, thinking about history and things like that, and he didn't care about the little cries of Manchester City fans. Instead, he frowned at Shevchenko's performance.
before the game starts. He knew that Shevchenko would not have a good performance, because Shevchenko had not been fully integrated into the team, he was not so familiar with the team's tactics and coordination, and he had no tacit understanding with his teammates. Under the circumstances, the reason why Shevchenko was sent to play was due to the pressure from the chairman Abramovich. The second is that Shevchenko is famous enough. The individual ability is very good. As a striker, there is no problem in front of goal. Maybe he can play well.
Mourinho is still looking forward to it.
But now this little bit of expectation is completely gone, and Shevchenko's performance will only be worse than he imagined, not a little better.
Then Mourinho started to worry.
What should we do now? Replacing Shevchenko? No, it's too early!
Replacing Shevchenko at this time will definitely make Shevchenko dissatisfied and will have a great impact on Shevchenko. Maybe he'll take longer to get used to the Premier League, plus. Club President Roman Abramovich will also think that he has given Shevchenko too little time, and the pressure from both sides will not allow him to replace Shevchenko now.
So look at it like that?
The score has not changed, but it can continue to be like this. Chelsea's offense is difficult to play. It is difficult to break the opponent's tight defense by relying on Drogba to attack.
Mourinho didn't know what to do for a while.
This is rarely the case since Mourinho was in charge. Generally speaking, he is very decisive and never regrets his decision, but it is different now. At Chelsea, he has no chairman Abra Movic's absolute trust has also lost his absolute rights in the team, so when he makes a decision, he has to look ahead and back.
Mourinho knows this, but he can't help it.
Abramovich, who was sitting in the VIP box, also frowned. Unlike Mourinho, he would not worry about the situation of the game. That is what the head coach should consider. If he can sit here, it is In order to appreciate the game, he hopes to enjoy a winning game, and in this winning game, he also hopes to see his favorite players perform well.
That is Andrei Shevchenko.
Shevchenko is a superstar in football and a friend of Abramovich. The two have a very good personal relationship, or this is also thanks to Abramovich's wife Irina and Shevchenko's wife K. Ristin's best friend relationship.
Since joining Chelsea, Abramovich wanted to introduce Shevchenko, and it was not until now, a few years later, that his idea was realized. Shevchenko joined his Chelsea, so he began to look forward to Shevchenko. Section's performance.
Now Shevchenko's performance is not good, everyone on the scene can see it, and Abramovich can also see it.
He frowned, then looked at Mourinho, who was sitting on the sidelines.
In fact, Abramovich knew that Mourinho did not want to bring in Shevchenko, and he was very unhappy about signing Shevchenko. What few people know is that there was an argument between the two about this, although In the end, the strong Abramovich won, but Mourinho's attitude towards the introduction of Shevchenko was also very clear.
So Abramovich could only force the Portuguese to accept this fact.
After that, Mourinho welcomed Sheva's arrival with duplicity and said to the media, "Today is a day when my dream comes true. When I first arrived at Chelsea, I was looking forward to Sheva as my starting center. He is very Great, ambitious, disciplined and highly tactical, he's a great striker without a doubt." But this is a superficial job for the media, and Abramovich is well aware that Mourini O did not welcome Shevchenko.
In the current game, Shevchenko's poor performance seems to prove that Mourinho is right, so, is he wrong? Like the Portuguese said, Shevchenko is not for Chelsea?
Do not! Certainly not!
It must be that this damn Portuguese can't use people, otherwise why would Shevchenko perform well in AC Milan, but not so well in Chelsea! ?
Abramovich looked at Shevchenko running on the field, and silently made a decision. If Mourinho could not use Shevchenko correctly and let Shevchenko adapt to Chelsea and the Premier League, Then next year he will find a head coach who can use Shevchenko and can make Shevchenko perform well.
In Abramovich's heart, Shevchenko is more important than Mourinho!
...
But no matter what Mourinho and Abramovich think, Shevchenko's performance on the field will not be of any use.
Shevchenko's time at Chelsea is still too short. He needs to adapt to Chelsea's tactics, to adapt to the cooperation with his teammates, and to adapt to the Premier League.
In conclusion, he needs time.
As a successful star, Shevchenko knows this, but even so, he is still very unwilling to show no performance, especially... especially this damn young Portuguese central defender in front of him, who is unknown, but can prevent himself?
Shevchenko can imagine what the media will say after the game!
They must have raved about this Portuguese central defender, and it was his mediocrity on the field that made the opponent famous. As a famous star, he is not reconciled to this.
So this time, when Shevchenko got the ball at the front of the penalty area, he saw Koppelle Ferreira right in front of him, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he dribbled the ball towards Koppelle Ferreira.
He wants to pass this young boy to prove that he was not killed by the opponent!
...
When Wan Sheng stood on the sidelines and saw this scene, he almost laughed out loud. It was obvious that Shevchenko was a little dizzy.
Manchester City's defense at the front of the penalty area is very tight, not to mention Shevchenko, even Ronaldinho, Messi, or even Maradona in his prime, if they want to rely on technology to rush into Manchester City's penalty area in that position, they are all is very impractical.
That's not something ordinary players can do.
Just like the most glorious moment of Maradona's personal career, the performance against England in the World Cup, and only with that kind of miraculous performance, can he complete the feat of breaking through to Manchester City's penalty area now.
In other words...it's impossible, at least Shevchenko doesn't have that ability.
really!
Just as Wansheng thought, Shevchenko was stuck in front of Koppeller Ferreira before he was pressed by Joey Button next to him. Then Koppeller Ferreira stepped forward, and the two of them. One left and one right closed the door. Facing this kind of defense, Shevchenko had nothing to do. He could only grit his teeth and watch Koppelle Ferreira completed another successful defense against himself, and then the latter put the ball away. Kicked forward to Morris.
Then it's Man City's turn to fight back! (To be continued ~^~)
