Chapter 186 Christmas Party in Sardinia

Invincible for three fucking rounds again?

Okay, that seems to be the case.

Chelsea once again faced a difficult test in December. The Blues beat Southampton 3:1 at home on December 2, which was a good start. However, in the next away game against Sunderland, Chelsea and The opponent played a soul-stirring 3:3, and then Stoke City defeated Chelsea 3:2. Then they were tied 1:1 by Anderlecht in the last game of the Champions League group stage, and then returned to home to face Crystal Palace. , as the boss in London, he was educated by the new boss in London, and lost to his opponent 1:2 at home.

As of December 14, after fifteen rounds of Premier League games, Chelsea had only 22 points, with a record of six wins, four draws and five losses, ranking tenth in the standings!

The opponent in the next round is not only Arsenal, who just defeated Chelsea in the League Cup some time ago, but also Arsenal, who are currently ranked first in the league!

After fifteen rounds of the league, Arsenal ranked first with 35 points, five points ahead of second place Liverpool. Manchester City had 29 points, six points behind Arsenal!

In addition, Manchester United is also a bright spot.

Manchester United is currently ranked ninth, with the same points as Chelsea, but their goal difference is one more than Chelsea...

Chelsea, who had just reached their peak, and Manchester United, who had just bid farewell to their legendary achievements, have both fallen to this!

Arsenal and Liverpool, who were generally thought to be incapable of doing much before the season, have now become phoenixes and occupy the top two positions in the standings.

Rumors of Hiddink's dismissal are endless. The only consolation for the Dutch coach is that Manchester United's new coach Moyes is also about the same. At present, Wenger has become the highly respected one again. Since Ferguson retired, Wenger has become the current Premier League coach. The longest-serving head coach, and the kid "Wu Guan" who has been criticized all the time looks like he will be killed by Wenger this year.

However, Chelsea is currently in a relatively better situation than Manchester United. They still have hope and can wait. Zize has issued a statement that he will return earlier than expected, because Chelsea's official expected return time is probably in April, which is when he is recuperating. It takes about eight months.

But Zize believes that if everything goes well, he can come back when the Champions League knockout round starts or in the second round in mid-February or early March.

If we really have to wait until April, the day lilies will be really cold.

Zize's statement gave many Chelsea fans a glimmer of hope. Many people don't understand what's wrong with Chelsea now. However, Zize, who has experienced the past, understands that Chelsea is indeed not that stable. Things like winning last season and being mid-table next season are not things that happen to Chelsea. Happened to me for the first time.

Another important factor is that the Premier League schedule is too difficult.

Most teams are unable to maintain stability. In the second decade of the Premier League, the most stable team is Manchester City. This is due to Manchester City's strong economic strength. Chelsea's economic strength is naturally not weak, but overall the boss is not It is true that there is a lack of patience and decisiveness is good, but frequent changes of head coaches will also cause the team to fall into chaos for a period of time. If the head coach is not appointed appropriately, problems will arise.

Hiddink signed a two-year contract with the team, and the contract will expire this summer. This is considering that the Dutchman is older. Hiddink, who was born in 1946, will be 68 years old in 2014. He was only three years younger than Ferguson when he retired, so he was an elderly coach anyway.

In this regard, the Portuguese Jose Mourinho, who serves as a commentator on Sky Sports, criticized Chelsea's current state.

Yes, Sky Sports commentator Mourinho is the same Mourinho, the legendary coach Mourinho who once led Porto and Inter Milan to complete the Triple Crown.

Last season, Mourinho resigned from Real Madrid. He had a difficult time in Real Madrid last season. To put it bluntly, although a club like Real Madrid is not even one of the most prestigious football clubs in the world, but the most prestigious, it is You have to bear the corresponding pressure, and you have to deal with the corresponding interpersonal relationships here. With the management, the chairman, the fans, the players, the staff, no one who can be here is a creature in the pool. This is the temple of football. , is the palace, of course, you have to face the intrigues in the palace.

The three-year Real Madrid career exhausted the Portuguese madman, and the sharp edges seemed to have been smoothed out a lot. After leaving Real Madrid, he did not immediately look for a new home, but began to rest. Then Sky Sports gave Mourinho a job His job has allowed him to serve as a commentator for Sky Sports, and he often talks about the games of his old club Chelsea.

Many people believe that after Hiddink's contract expires or he leaves midway, his successor is likely to be Mourinho, and the Portuguese will return to the Blue Bridge.

Mourinho may have been waiting for Hiddink when he didn't look for a new home at the first time. Even if the team wants to renew his contract with Hiddink after the end of this season, he may choose to quit quickly. He will lose all his teammates this season. Ce's poor record has also made the Portuguese and Dutch feel confident that Hiddink will definitely not be Chelsea's head coach next season.

Of course, Manchester United is also a possible choice.

Judging from the current record, Moyes, the Scottish fellow appointed by Ferguson, seems to have great shortcomings in coaching a giant like Manchester United. I am afraid this will be Moyes' first and last season leading Manchester United.

The controversial Hiddink led Chelsea to attack on Christmas Eve and went to the Emirates Stadium to challenge local rival Arsenal. This game was a disaster for Chelsea.

Arsenal are in very good shape this season. This summer they spent a lot of money to introduce the Spanish golden boy Isco. This transaction cost Arsenal nearly 40 million, which made the fans of the broken factory burst into tears. The 70 million deposited in the bank can finally be used. Take it out and use it!

And Isco has almost seamlessly integrated into Arsenal's system. His excellent dribbling skills and deft passing are what Arsenal need most. With the help of Spain's golden boy, Arsenal is now at the top of the list. Waiting for Chelsea to visit.

Zize invited many friends to play in Sardinia to celebrate Christmas together. However, the most important activity of the Christmas party was watching the game. This Greater London Derby also attracted the attention of many fans. This game is likely to It’s about Hiddink’s coaching position!

Although Roman Abramovich and Hiddink have a good personal relationship, it is impossible for this domineering president to sit back and watch Chelsea fall to the middle and lower reaches. If they lose this game, Hiddink may be fired directly.

Zice's friendship with Hiddink is far less good than that of Klopp, because Hiddink is indeed far older than him. The 67-year-old Hiddink is enough to be the 22-year-old Zice's grandfather. Klopp is young, and more importantly, he has a younger mentality and treats all players as brothers.

Hiddink's words are to treat the players as players. This kind of coach will not have a good relationship with the players, but at the same time, it will not be too bad. Everyone performs their duties and it is a colleague relationship.

But in general, Zice has a good impression of Hiddink. He will listen to many of his own suggestions. It is not easy to listen to suggestions at this age. There are many old men who are very stubborn. For example, Hiddink dislikes him and has some differences with him. The sociable Van Gaal, this guy is as stubborn as a rock.

Therefore, Zize still doesn't want Hiddink to dismiss get out of class. At least he will leave with dignity after finishing this season. A man who won the Champions League for the first time deserves to leave with dignity.

For today’s Christmas party, Zize invited many old acquaintances, classmates from high school and college, and members of the fan club. Irene also found a famous German music group to come and heat up the atmosphere. Zize also performed a piece for everyone on the spot. The ball-bumping performance showed the fans the results of his recovery, and the scene was very enthusiastic.

The relatives and friends invited by Zize were basically his own fans, that is, Chelsea fans. In this game, Chelsea was quite successful. Schürrle opened the scoring in the game to help Chelsea take the lead. In this key battle, Chelsea Playing pretty well.

But then, Arsenal forward Giroud received Isco's pass and got rid of Terry in the penalty area, and then scored a coquettish heel goal!

The king of heaven overpowers the tigers of the earth, but I am the great Jilu!

Giroud, the French striker who was criticized a lot last season, finally proved himself in a key match. This back-heel goal was amazing and boosted Arsenal's morale as they bombarded the Chelsea goal!

Zize and others who were watching the game in Sardinia were worried. However, in the 84th minute of the game, Chelsea launched a quick counterattack. Willian advanced with the ball into the half and then distributed the ball to the wing. This game Azpilicueta, who played as a left back in the game, assisted and passed the ball. The veteran Drogba, who came on the bench, stopped the ball in his chest and blasted a shot to kill the score!

The excitement of the entire party reached its peak with Drogba's winning goal. A few minutes later, the referee blew the whistle to end the game. Chelsea finally won this crucial battle!
