Number one in the world again?

That’s right, it’s number one in the world again.

There is no way, Chelsea of ​​this era is just so strong.

Almost all the best players in football are under Abramovich's command.

Chelsea's left-back Ashley Cole is currently the world's best left-back, right-back Branislav Ivanovic is currently the world's best right-back, center-back John Terry is at the level of the world's best defender, and goalkeeper Petr Cech was the world's best goalkeeper in IFFHS points in 2005, UEFA's best goalkeeper in 2006, last season's Premier League Golden Glove, and the goalkeeper with the most shutouts in Europe.

Even Casillas was at his peak, he was only good at saving the ball, and in this era his statistics are still not as good as Cech's.

How could Abramovich's team not have a luxurious lineup? In particular, as a Russian boss, Abramovich really prefers top players from countries like Serbia and the Czech Republic.

Branislav Ivanovic is a world-class player who is severely underrated.

This may be because Ivan's personality is not so flamboyant and he rarely appears in media interviews, so his popularity is not as well-known as Gary Neville, Zambrotta, Thuram, Alves and Cafu.

But in fact, Ivanovic is not inferior to anyone in the right back position.

Especially compared with left-back Ashley Cole, Big Ivan has no scandals, has a harmonious family, lives a happy life, works hard in games, and is willing to work hard.

Big Ivan is 26 years old now. He is already the captain of the Serbian national team. He is 189cm tall and weighs 89kg. He is an absolute tank.

As a right back, Big Ivan is versatile, covering the Aurora during the game and is more like a free man.

Big Ivan can not only play as a right back, but also as a center back, defensive midfielder, wing forward, and even center forward.

Big Ivan also transformed from a forward to a right back.

Big Ivan is also a typical B2B defender who can rush from his own penalty area to the opposing penalty area in one breath and complete a cross or a shot.

There is a term called "Messi Corridor", which refers to the way Messi dribbles the ball across the penalty area as if he is in an empty space, just like he is returning to the corridor of his own home.

There is also a term called "Ivan's Corridor", which refers to the area on the right side where Big Ivan can dribble the ball into the space as if he were in an empty space, just like he was back in the corridor of his own home.

Just from this nickname, you can see how fierce Big Ivan is on the right side.

Big Ivan was just compressed on the right side like a spring. His confrontation, speed, burst, passing and crossing were all first-class. His shooting was even better than some forwards and center forwards in the Premier League.

In a team full of stars, Ivan, like Essien, is often restricted to the right side by the head coach. So even though he is very versatile, there are few times when he can really show his strength in each game. Only at critical moments can fans appreciate his role as a nuclear bomb that determines the outcome of the game.

Chelsea already has three B2B midfielders, among whom Essien has to play conservatively, and Chelsea also has a B2B right back on the right side. This configuration alone is enough to scare any European team.

Today, three world-class B2B midfielders all started, the left and right full-backs were both world-class full-backs, the two central defenders were also world-class and quasi-first-class, and the goalkeeper was the best goalkeeper in the world.

So, Ancelotti really doesn't care about his reputation anymore.

Chelsea's two central defenders are captain No. 26 John Terry, the protagonist of the friend's wife abortion scandal, and No. 4 David Luiz, also known as "Luponpon".

Captain Terry's defensive strength is recognized as world-class.

Terry's peak period was before the friend's wife scandal broke out in 2010. That was also the period when Terry's reputation was the highest. And often when one's reputation is high, it is easy to become arrogant.

Before 2010, Terry's partner as Chelsea's central defender was the world's top defender Carvalho. The back line formed by Terry and Carvalho was almost flawless, which was also an important guarantee for Cech to win the honor of the world's number one goalkeeper with the lowest loss rate for several consecutive years.

It’s a pity that Carvalho is gone and Terry has also stepped down from the altar because of the friend’s wife incident.

As the captain of Chelsea, nothing else matters to him, including getting in a bar fight and seriously injuring someone and letting his younger brother take the blame, cursing at his own fans in the parking lot, getting a card and being sent off on the field, etc., really nothing matters.

However, he slept with his best friend's girlfriend more than once and also asked her to have an abortion. This is really a problem.

Terry's reputation also plummeted because of the Vanessa incident. Not only did the Blues fans find it difficult to forgive Terry's behavior, even the younger brothers in the locker room who followed him every day began to keep their distance from Terry and did not invite Terry to their wedding banquets.

Although after this incident, Terry still worked diligently and devoted himself to the court and continued to display his iron-blooded defense, but... there is no going back.

Bridge, his younger brother who was hurt by him, was hurt not only because his girlfriend, who he was talking about getting married to, was slept with, but also because his faith that he had followed for many years completely collapsed. As a result, Bridge, who was once an iron man, became a glass man after transferring to Manchester City in tears.

Bridge is a Southampton native and made his debut in Southampton Club, so today all the veterans of Southampton are ready to go, vying to stand up for their old friend Bridge.

Of course, although Terry's performance began to decline due to the "friend's wife" incident, his peak period was very long. Therefore, even if Terry's form has declined, he is definitely better than Rio Ferdinand in this era. It is absolutely difficult for Southampton to get past Terry.

After the friend’s wife incident, another incident happened, which gave people who liked Terry some excuse to comfort him.

John Terry's older brother, Paul Terry, is also a player, but Paul plays in an amateur league.

Paul Terry cheated on his Rushton Diamonds teammate, goalkeeper Dale, by sleeping with Dale's 25-year-old fiancee Lindsey... for half a year, until Dale learned about the "friend's wife" incident in the newspaper and became alert. He looked through his fiancee's mobile phone and discovered it.

Throughout 2010, the news was almost entirely about the Terry brothers sleeping with their teammates' wives.

So, the Terry family has the gene to sleep with other people’s wives.

If you think about it this way, Terry can't be blamed entirely for what happened to Vanessa. It's just the root of the problem.
