Chapter 180: The Blues fell
Manchester United reversed Valencia and advanced to the Champions League knockout tournament with a winning record the next day. The remaining four groups of Champions League games continued to play. After their respective wins and losses, the UEFA Champions League group stage this season all ended, and 16 All the teams that advanced to the knockout are also born.
In Group A, Bell's old club Tottenham overwhelmed the defending champion Inter Milan and advanced to the first group. Inter Milan received another promotion quota; in Group B, Schalke 04 and Lyon advanced hand in hand; As for Group C, the final round of the game is actually just a passing game. Although the winning Manchester United and Bat Corps divided the victory and defeat, this does not affect their promotion, even the first group or the second group; Group D, Barcelona Undefeated record of 4 wins and 2 draws, the Danish team Copenhagen won the second group; Group E, Bayern and Rome won the promotion quota without suspense; Group F, Chelsea and Marseille ranked first and second, scored 9 points Spartak Moscow can only play in the UEFA Cup; Group G, Real Madrid 5 wins and 1 draw undefeated promotion, while AC Milan overwhelming Ajax thrilling qualifying by one point; Group H, Arsenal accident Lost the first place in the group, and the miners came out strong with 5 wins and 1 loss.
The top sixteen are all produced, and then we have to wait until a week later, the knockout draw at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, will determine who their respective opponents will be.
However, this year's group stage is generally normal. The giants have almost smoothly advanced to the group's first result. Only Inter Milan and Arsenal feel a bit out of touch. And these two teams have also become the first opponents in each group who are unwilling to face.
………………
As the end of the year approaches, the rest of the leagues are set to enter the 2010 finale and begin the winter break, but for Manchester United's Premier League, the most intensive time of the year is on the way.
Especially for Manchester United, they were strong to advance to the knockout round with a group victory, and they will soon face a continuous fierce battle in the league.
At eight o'clock in the evening, they will welcome Arsenal in the final game of the 17th round of the Premier League, which is also the match between the top two in the Premier League standings. Although Manchester United have already locked the Premier League half-time champion three rounds in advance after reversing Blackpool in the last round, they also have full reasons to win the game with Arsenal directly competing for opponents.
Of course, in order to continue to retain the hope of winning the first line, Arsenal also have a reason to have to defeat the Red Devils. Once they lose the game with Manchester United, they will be 13 points behind Manchester United after 17 rounds of league, then they have basically said goodbye to this season's league champion.
For Arsenal, there is also good news, that is, the Blues Chelsea is still in a downturn. After losing the final round of the Champions League, returning to the Premier League, the Blues’ performance has not improved. They are in the UK. On Sunday afternoon, local time, at the White Hart Lane stadium was lost 1:1 by Tottenham. This makes them one point less than Arsenal in the case of an extra round. After 17 rounds of the Premier League, they only scored 31 points, which is 25 points stronger than the 10 rounds of the Premier League at the beginning of the season. team.
1:1 away draw against Tottenham, Chelsea can accept this result with the recent strength of old Redknapp's team, but in the end Drogba missed a penalty and gave the defending champion only 1 point Not so willing.
Tottenham 6 rounds undefeated is worth celebrating, but Chelsea ushered in a wave of 5 rounds of embarrassing situation, 3 draws and 2 losses, only scored 3 points. Even if counted as a small win against Fulham, in the last 7 rounds, he only scored 6 points, averaging less than 1 point per game.
This is already the longest consecutive unbeaten record for Chelsea since the 2000-2001 season. The last time was Ranieri's lead era, with 6 wins, 2 losses and 4 draws, 7 rounds of the league with 7 points, 10 years ago.
In fact, in the Premier League era, Chelsea won 7 times over 5 rounds, all before 2001, before Abu entered Stamford Bridge. After being heavily armed, the Blues never scored an awkward record of 6 points in 7 rounds.
If it is Manchester United without Bell, the recent weakness of the Blues will not be so obvious. After all, in another time and space, Manchester United who have two fewer games at this moment is only evenly divided with them.
However, with Bell's move to Manchester United, this season makes Manchester United, who was in a normal state this season, unexpectedly strong, winning 3 draws, which is the best start since the establishment of the team.
In this way, the decline of the Blue Army became very prominent.
………………
For Abramovich, West London fans have mixed feelings. Without the capital injection of the Russian rich, Mourinho's great ability is also impossible for this half-century old decay ball without a championship to get a new life, leap into the top European giants. But it is also the same that Abu signed to Shevchenko to cause turmoil in the locker room and drove away the hero who was not in harmony with himself, Mourinho, and almost he personally ended the blue era of the Premier League. Come to Hiddink Ancelotti, it is a good move, but the stingy investment in the transfer market for three consecutive years has made the Chelsea lineup increasingly decayed and broken.
"Daily Mail" believes that Ancelotti may not be able to survive the devil's schedule in December. In fact, An Fat is also a clever woman who can't cook without rice. When the staff are in order at the beginning of the season~lightnovelpub.net~ When Terry, Lampard and Drogba had been troubled by injuries and had no suitable substitutes on the bench, Chelsea's league and cup results plummeted.
The vacuum left by Barak, Chocol, Deco, Carvalho, Belletti and others left, a Ramirez and a semi-residual Benayon are simply not enough to fill, switching to Leverkusen The captain of the German team made it very clear. It was Abu who drove them away to save money: "I talked to Ancelotti in the summer. He wanted me to stay, but others made a decision."
The focus of Abu’s eyes has long been away from Stamford Bridge, the on-site watching games are getting less and less, and the investment in the team is becoming more stingy. Wilkinson, Anesen and others have been fired one after another. At the beginning, there was almost no need to support the team by young people and free players. The invincible fleet built by one hand was almost desolate.
AC Milan fans will feel the same sympathy. Berlusconi's style in the past few years is almost the same as that of Abu today. "Daily Telegraph" said Abu will lock Pato Aguero and other big names in the winter market. In fact, people with clear eyes know that this is not realistic. All Ancelotti will ask for is a few more practical players to enrich the lineup. .
It is true that Abu’s net worth has shrunk, but it is not that he has no interest in football, but his focus has long shifted. For example, Russia recently obtained the right to host the 2018 World Cup. Behind it is Abu’s financial support. Where should Chelsea go from here?
