Chapter 179 Warm-up Match 3
Before the start of this warm-up match, Wigan Athletic head coach Jewell, who hoped to win, had a detailed understanding of Chelsea's current team situation, so he knew very well that Wang Li and Drogba were definitely the top priorities of Chelsea's offense.
Although the league has not started yet, and this hot-tempered Chelsea head coach always makes some unexpected and surprising moves, Drogba and Wang Li, the most valuable forwards, will undoubtedly become the main players. This has been recognized by many media - although this has no effect on Mourinho's decision.
So before the game, Jevil also reminded the players: strengthen the defense, the two central defenders should keep an eye on the big guy at all times, and also, pay special attention to the kid No. 21 and don't let him have space to kick.
In Jevil's opinion, this black-haired boy, who is only a little over 17 years old, how strong can a player of this age be even if he has great talent?
This idea is not surprising.
As early as last season, when Wang Li first set foot in the Premier League, many of Wolverhampton's opponents had similar thoughts. Wang Li's appearance and age made him easily underestimated, but when the game really started, they realized how extreme and ridiculous their previous thoughts were!
Facing a player like Wang Li, if you don't really use all your strength to defend, the result will be really sad.
Obviously, Wigan Athletic has now experienced this feeling.
In just over 30 minutes, that 'young black-haired kid' scored two goals, which broke Javier's heart and forced him to face reality. The big '4:0' on the scoreboard at JJB Stadium made all the ideas of Wigan Athletic become a dream bubble! !
Perhaps, at this moment, Jewell should confess to God more faithfully and pray that Chelsea players would take off their shooting boots and score fewer goals, so that he could look better after the game.
Well, it would be best if Wigan Athletic could score a goal by chance, so that they can have some confidence... At this moment, looking at the black-haired boy who quietly walked back to his own half of the field, Jeville no longer had the high spirits he had before the game. He couldn't help but sigh: "This kind of talented player is really enviable. If Wigan Athletic..."
…………On the green field.
“Beep…”
The referee blew the whistle to restart the game.
Wigan Athletic restarted the game, and 'superstar' Jason Roberts kicked the ball to his teammate next to him, then quickly moved forward and prepared to attack.
In this game, the "superstar" of Wigan Athletic was very depressed. In the first thirty minutes of the first half, he was almost the most idle person except for Chelsea goalkeeper Cech.
Roberts had just joined the team, so he followed the instructions of head coach Jewell and had been waiting for opportunities in the frontcourt, but obviously, the results were not satisfactory. From the beginning to now, he had only touched the ball four times - three of which were kick-offs... Roberts accelerated a few steps, turned around and waited for his teammates to pass the ball. Unfortunately, the ball had just passed the center line and was intercepted again in a short pass from Wigan Athletic. This time it was Chelsea's fierce backcourt stalwart - Claude Makelele!
This player, who was a member of the French team in the 1998 World Cup, is an important bargaining chip for Chelsea's defense. In Mourinho's mind, he will also be the absolute main force in the new season. Perhaps, every coach likes this kind of defensive player who "is not afraid of hard work and is only interested in doing dirty and tiring work"!
I really don’t know why the Galacticos would give up such a strong player. Without Makelele, look at their current defense, it’s really a pile of shit!
…………At this time, the fans in the stands let out bursts of exclamations, as if reminding everyone to turn their attention back to the court.
Because a magnificent performance had just taken place there!
That’s right, a purely personal performance!
After Makelele intercepted the ball, he kicked it to Lampard. Lampard took the ball, took a few steps forward, looked at the situation in the frontcourt, and then passed the ball to Bridge who was coming from behind.
Bridge, the "romantic wanderer", seemed to want to show his romantic nature on the court. During a disguised dribble, he was closely followed by Wigan Athletic's defenders. In desperation, he chose to pass the ball.
The ball was passed at just the right time, but he himself gave his opponent a warm hug... Of course, this is not important.
Wang Li squeezed the defensive player behind him at the front of the penalty area, faced back in the direction where the ball was rolling, and swung his leg at the football along with the movement of his body. The ball went directly between the legs of the player, and Wang Li used the "Lingbo Weibu" technique, made a strange turn of his body, and went around it directly.
Before he could catch up with the ball, another Wigan Athletic player came from behind and kicked to clear the ball!
However, how could Wang Li lose the ball so easily? He quickly took two steps and before the player cleared the ball, he stepped forward with his right foot and rubbed the edge of the ball, causing the ball to deviate from its original rolling trajectory. The defensive player did not expect Wang Li to react so quickly, and when he wanted to turn around and chase the ball - it was too late!
In his haste, he lost his balance and fell directly onto the grass!!
Wang Li, who had already caught up with the ball, didn't care about that. There was only one defender left in front of him. On the left side of the penalty area, Drogba also shook off the defender and caught up. Jewell on the sidelines had closed his eyes. He could imagine the next scene - Wang Li knocked to the left, and Drogba shot!
Wigan Athletic...hit by another bullet!
In fact, the situation on the field was not what Jevil thought. Just when everyone thought that Wang Li was going to pass the ball, he moved the ball to the right. With a very simple disguise, he easily dribbled past the defensive player!
Unexpected!
Only in this case, passing people will become so easy!!
However, no one in the stadium was in the mood to think about these things, because there was only a lonely goalkeeper in front of Wang Li. Was there going to be another goal?
At this moment, Wigan Athletic goalkeeper Renoir had a tense face, but Wang Li saw a hint of cowardice in his slightly narrowed eyes. However, he would not show mercy. The desire to score a goal made him kill again!
Chelsea's commentator was so excited that he couldn't contain himself.
"Alan Wang!! Here comes our 'Dancing Master' again!! In the 39th minute of the first half, he once again presented a magnificent goal performance for the fans. At the JJB Stadium, he passed three people and was unstoppable!! Oh, this is already his third goal in this game, a hat trick! He scored a hat trick in his first game since he came to Chelsea!!"
"This kind of talent is worth even 100 million pounds!!"
After listening to his commentary, Abrahamovich might burst into tears... At the same time, Chelsea's players collectively ran to Wang Li's position! Even though this was just a warm-up match with a huge difference in strength, a hat trick was rare and should be celebrated.
Originally, Wang Li wanted to show off in front of the camera and then shout loudly: "Dedicate this goal to the lovely Angela", maybe he would get more "rewards" this way!
But unfortunately, before he could react, Bridget grinned and completed a gorgeous push, and then the other players pressed forward one after another.
Wang Li completed a hat trick and enjoyed a feast of human flesh full of stinking sweat...Hat trick! ?
At this time, even Mourinho, who always had a cold face towards the players on the sidelines, had a smile on his face. He was really satisfied with this No. 21 kid.
Because he is really outstanding!!
'Alan Wang may be Chelsea's most successful transfer this season.' Before the game, many media expressed this view, mostly because Wang Li's transfer fee was very low, of course, compared with Rooney's standard.
But, even so, Mourinho also disdained such statements. In his opinion, Drogba is the most ideal striker. As for the so-called "cheap" black-haired boy, he is just a potential stock.
And now, he has completely abandoned this idea!
"Maybe, sometimes, what the media say does make sense." Mourinho smiled and said to himself. If the media knew that this arrogant Portuguese would say such a thing, I wonder if they would be surprised and open their mouths.
Unfortunately, the stubborn Mourinho would never show weakness to the media because of this. He just said that he would refuse all media interviews! !
Mourinho will not show mercy to these pens until Chelsea's performance reaches a certain standard.
After the team finished celebrating the goal, Mourinho waved his hand and signaled the substitutes to come on the field. The score was already 5:0, and he was not interested in watching another completely one-sided game. He wanted to use the remaining time to carefully observe the abilities of other players.
Thomas comes on, Cech comes off; Johnson comes on, Makelele comes off; Gudjansen comes on, Wang Li comes off; Robben comes on, Geremi comes off.
Wang Li scored a hat trick and ended his first game for Chelsea... The subsequent games were uneventful.
Of course, this was for Chelsea. In the remaining fifty minutes, Chelsea calmly scored three more goals, making the score jump to 8:0, and also made the players of Wigan Athletic fully understand the difference between them and the world's top teams.
It is worth mentioning that in the final stage of the game, Chelsea's defensive players seemed to feel that such a score was a bit too ruthless, so the defense relaxed, and then - Jason Roberts scored a goal for Wigan Athletic... At the press conference after the game, Mourinho was still fulfilling his promise, leaving only one sentence: "I am very satisfied with the team's performance." Then, in the dissatisfied eyes of many media, he waved his hand, turned and left, leaving only a dreamy back.
When will this cold war end?
