I am the king of football

Chapter 228 The tip of the needle versus the awn of wheat

The tense atmosphere began to build up from the morning of the match day, and the Blues fans in a corner of London had already turned the streets around Stamford Bridge into a sea of ​​blue.

When the Manchester United bus drove out of the hotel and slowly approached Stamford Bridge, they were like a red cruise ship sailing in the sea. Although the bus was not small, the endless blue sea forced them to close the car and boat and shrink into their respective positions.

It was not until the bus pulled into the parking lot at Stamford Bridge that the suffocating noise was forgotten.

Rooney didn't need to complain this time, as Qin Hu had already intuitively felt the fanatical atmosphere of Chelsea fans. Their voices and roars were no less than what Qin Hu encountered at Anfield.

As a new Premier League giant, Chelsea has continuously introduced batches of top players since Abramovich took over. After winning the first Premier League title in team history, it finally achieved a breakthrough in the Champions League title last season.

For this reason alone, it is no exaggeration to call the Blues a Premier League giant.

When the Manchester United players changed their clothes and walked out of the player tunnel and onto the field, the Chelsea players on the other side had already warmed up. The two sides stared at each other from a distance, and their abundant fighting spirit almost solidified.

From a distance, Qin Hu's main focus was on the man wearing the No. 9 jersey on the other side - the golden boy Torres.

This is also a player who became famous at a young age. He has been loved by a large number of fans since his debut, and Qin Hu is no exception.

When Qin Hu was still working hard in the youth training, Torres was dominating the Madrid and Liverpool teams and won the European Cup and World Cup titles as a member of the Spanish national team.

With a graceful figure, handsome looks, and a strong ability to fight that is completely different from his thin body, he is an unconventional striker who can obviously make a living with his looks and speed but prefers confrontation.

What is even more admirable is that although Torres loves confrontation, his small body is not inferior in strength at all. No matter which club he is in, he can burst out with extremely strong fighting power.

Torres, now 28 years old, is at his peak. In last season's Champions League final against Munich, it was he who won the last corner kick for the team, allowing Drogba to head the ball to equalize the score, dragging the game into a penalty shootout and eventually defeating Munich.

This season, his form is also remarkable. Although he has lost some of his drive compared to when he was younger, the experienced player can be said to be the striker who found his form the fastest after the team lost two finals in a row and entered the new league season. Chelsea was able to get 19 points in eight rounds, and Torres contributed greatly to this.

Feeling someone was watching him, Torres raised his head and looked over. Then he and Qin Hu had a direct eye contact. The Spanish striker cheerfully gave Qin Hu a polite smile.

Obviously, Torres also knew something about Qin Hu.

Before the start of this game, Di Matteo emphasized Qin Hu's terrifying threat countless times in Chelsea's preparations. The Blues' defensive players were almost tired of hearing it, and Torres, one of the forwards, was also deeply impressed by him.

Now, from a distance, with his sturdy figure, sharp eyebrows, sharp eyes and tough features, Qin Hu turned out to be a handsome guy who was no less handsome than himself, which made Torres even more interested in Qin Hu.

The two of them serve their respective teams and are the absolute core of their respective team's forward lines. The upcoming games seem to be very interesting.

"CCTV, CCTV, dear viewers, welcome to watch the ninth round of the 2012-2013 Premier League between Chelsea and Manchester United at home. I am the commentator Zhan Jun."

After the warm-up, everything speeded up. After a short break, the two sides followed the referee team back onto the field. Zhan Jun, who was at Stamford Bridge, also spoke the classic CCTV opening remarks that became more and more fluent. "What you are seeing now is the scene at Stamford Bridge. The two teams have divided the ball and the half. Manchester United will kick off in the first half."

Qin Hu and Van Persie stood in front of the ball, and beside them, the entire Chelsea team was staring at them intently.

“Sh ...

"The whistle blows, and the game officially begins!"

The ball was kicked forward, Qin Hu and Van Persie rushed directly into Chelsea's midfield. Behind them, the team's four midfielders began to control the ball quickly.

Both sides started the game very cautiously. After making sure that Manchester United had no intention of attacking at the start, Chelsea did not rush forward rashly. Only Torres slowly crossed the half court to carry out symbolic pressing.

"Manchester United used a 442 formation in this game, and their starting players were..."

In this way, Zhan Jun had enough time to introduce the starting lineups of the two teams. After quickly introducing the starting lineup of Manchester United who took control of the ball and began to slowly advance, he quickly read out the starting lineup of the home team Chelsea.

"Chelsea used the 4231 formation that Di Matteo usually uses, with Cech in goal, Ivanovic, Luiz, Cahill and Ashley Cole as the four defenders, and Mikel Mikel and Ramires as the double defensive midfielders."

Let me first introduce Chelsea's defense and defensive midfielder arrangement. Overall, Chelsea's defense is much younger than Manchester United's.

There is the shaggy-haired David Luiz, 25, Ivanovic, 28, Gary Cahill, 27, and only Ashley Cole is over 30.

This makes Chelsea's defense not only incredibly strong, but also extremely fast in returning to defense and its ability to make up for the deficit. Many teams find it difficult to find points of attack when facing the Blues' defense.

"The three midfielders are No. 10 Mata, No. 11 Oscar and No. 17 Hazard, and the golden boy Torres is at the forefront of the team."

The biggest contributors to Chelsea's good results in the first eight rounds of the league this season are the four strong players in the frontcourt. Mata and Hazard have broken through the two flanks of countless teams on the left and right.

Oscar, who was plug-and-play, performed as steady as an old dog, and occasionally made a long shot, not to mention Torres, who had a very stable goal-scoring efficiency, sitting in front.

When Zhan Jun announced the starting lineups of the two teams, he couldn't help but take a breath. After reading out all 22 names, he was familiar with the Premier League and knew very well that there were really no unknown people here.

"Both teams have sent out their strongest players, whether it's forward or defense, this match is a head-to-head match between the two teams. Let's look forward to which team will win in this match that is destined to be exciting!"

As the words fell, the first ten minutes of the game had passed and both teams were already getting into the groove.
