Chapter 259 The biggest upset!

Many Chelsea players have discovered the problem of Thiago Mendes, but they did nothing. One is that the players on the field perform their own duties. If they help others, there may be loopholes in their defensive positions. In addition, Chelsea's competition is very fierce. Some capable players can only sit on the bench. There is a teammate with a 'not very good relationship' who performs poorly. They are happy to see the result, as long as it does not affect the victory anyway .

Most of Chelsea's players still don't think there will be any suspense in the game.

Thiago Mendes was even more embarrassed.

When there was a problem with his positional defense, no teammates quickly came to support him. Every time he was afraid that the opponent would really create a good opportunity.

This time Fulham found a chance!

Andy Cole went right past Thiago Mendes and lobbed the ball high into the box.

"Danger!"

The commentator at Stamford Bridge exclaimed.

Chelsea's penalty area is very tightly defended. Even if the football flies into the penalty area, it is difficult for ordinary opposing players to find opportunities.

But no matter how tight the defense is, it is not 100%.

When the opponent's players performed well, the reaction is now that Fulham performed well in the frontcourt, and Chelsea's defense is also not very stable.

The football falls towards the middle of the penalty area.

John Terry is standing there. He is the mainstay of Chelsea and the absolute main force of the England team.

Everyone must face up to Terry's strength, especially his ability to defend high-altitude balls. Few people in the world remember him. Often when Terry is in the right position, it is easy to clear the ball.

McBride ran to Terry, a rare American who started last season for Fulham.

McBride is 32 years old, but anyone in the Premier League has to face his ability to tackle headers, and he is the United States' best hope when it comes to headers.

The evaluation of McBride by The Times last year was, "The old-fashioned center forward rarely misses in the air. And the ability to pay the price."

The "Times" evaluation is just an evaluation, but it also illustrates McBride's ability in a certain way.

Now McBride meets Terry.

Up to now, McBride has not played much, but he feels that he is in a very good state. This time, when he saw Andy Cole pass the ball, he almost subconsciously ran towards the middle of the penalty area.

Terry noticed McBride, but didn't pay attention at all, because he was in the best position.

But the moment the football fell, McBride suddenly got stuck in front of Terry.

Terry suddenly panicked!

When it was time to jump, Terry still squeezed and jumped up. He wanted to use the top of his head to clear the siege, but McBride rubbed the ball with the top of his head first.

Terry topped it off!

This is not over yet!

The two collided fiercely in the air, McBride fell unsteadily and fell to the ground, and Terry fell forward and lay on top of him.

At this time, no one paid attention to the chaos of the two people's movements, and everyone was watching the football flying towards the goal.

Cudicini in front of the goal was a little flustered. He thought that Terry would definitely clear the ball, but he failed to judge the route of the ball at the first time. As a result, when he saw the football flying over, he judged a bit late.

Cudicini subconsciously rushed to the left!
Cudicini judged the right direction, but the trajectory of the football was a bit high. When he jumped to the position, the football flew over his arm.

----

When the football flew into the goal, there was a moment of silence at Stamford Bridge. No one thought that it would be Fulham who scored first.

"Fulham scored?"

"That player seems to be called...Mike...Brad?"

"how could be?"

For a while, even the Fulham fans didn't react.

but!

After reacting, the Fulham fans broke out the warmest cheers at the beginning!
"Hula..."

At that moment, the shouts of Fulham fans completely became the mainstream of the Stamford Bridge Stadium. Graham, the British Sky Sports commentator who was in charge of live broadcasting the game, shouted, "Goal! GOAL! McBride, he headed the ball Help Fulham take the lead in breaking the deadlock! The score became 0 to 1, and the visiting team is leading—”

"—Fulham!"

The commentator at Stamford Bridge said in disbelief, "Goal scored? It was McBride, he scored! Andy Cole's high pass! Andy Cole threw Mendes away and kicked a quality kick Very high pass!"

"0 to 1, Fulham is leading..." The commentator almost didn't add the sentence "It's a pity" at the end.

Immediately following the Fulham team began to celebrate excitedly.

McBride was surrounded by a group of players, and he still can't believe it now.

Before the game, various media were analyzing how difficult this focus battle was for Fulham. The media found a lot of reasons why Fulham must lose. Every reason was very convincing, but now they are ahead But it was Fulham.

Since we can take the lead, there is hope for victory!

Many players think so.

The same is true on the Fulham coaching bench. Coleman raised his fist and shouted excitedly. He has no longer maintained a gentlemanly demeanor. This moment should be celebrated excitedly.

Others also vented their emotions to their heart's content.

The team doctor Martins hugged Shen Yang, "Shen, we are ahead! The way you said worked!"

Shen Yang was also very excited, it was rare for him to experience the passion of football, "Yeah, I didn't expect that either."

Amid the excitement, Coleman couldn't help coming over and hugging Shen Yang's shoulders, "It's so beautiful! Shen, thank you for telling me how to adjust, otherwise I wouldn't even dare to imagine the team leading."

Everyone knew that the tactical arrangement just now was suggested by Shen Yang. Many people came to thank Shen Yang, even the substitute players.

If ordinary assistant coaches put forward tactical suggestions and were adopted, and then the tactical adjustments produced results, they would definitely not do this.

Shen Yang was different.

Everyone knows that he does not belong to Fulham, but is only temporarily a "guest" of Fulham. Tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, he will leave Fulham.

No one thought that before leaving Fulham, he could give such a constructive suggestion so that Fulham could take the lead in the game against Chelsea.

However, Shen Yang didn't think it was all due to himself, "It's because everyone played well, I couldn't even imagine that McBride could score a goal just now."

"really."

Coleman and Martins nodded in approval, and Martins said immediately, "But the players are in good condition, and it is also a credit to your team."

"Thank you." Shen Yang smiled, "I prefer others to recognize this. To be honest, I really don't know much about football."

Martins couldn't help asking, "Will your team still cooperate with Fulham in the future? For example, continue to do state training for the players? I believe that if this game can be won, Mr. Fayed will definitely not be stingy in inviting you. "

"It depends on the situation, I'm not sure, but the cooperation is two-sided. My sports center does not have this business for the time being, but there will definitely be opportunities to cooperate in the future."

Shen Yang said.

As for the training business of assisting football clubs to maintain the player's state, Shen Yang has not yet figured out how to operate it. This time, assisting Fulham Club in the ten-day state training, the effect is still very obvious. The sports center will definitely be able to play in European football. It has gained some fame, but the specific effect is not yet certain.

If a new business wants to maintain well, it is definitely not enough to rely on a club alone. First of all, the charging standard cannot be raised. A team of ten days of work only earns [-] euros in income, which is really too little. For expenses, Shen Yang had to lead the team himself, which was almost equivalent to not making any money.

Income is one aspect, and how to carry out cooperation is also a problem.

The cooperation with the Fulham club is just a trial, not a formal cooperation. There is a lot of room for maneuvering, and the position of the training team in the team is also very embarrassing.

Just like Coleman.

Coleman is the head coach of Fulham. He has little support for 'state training', so that he has to 'accommodate' unnecessary training time throughout the training. The lack of support from the head coach affects the 'state training'. Work properly.

If you cooperate with other clubs, other head coaches do not support or even hold objections, then the "state training" will definitely not go on, and the effect is naturally needless to say. The outside media and fans don't care whether the training is going on or not, they care about it. It's the training effect, and if there is no effect, it means smashing the signboard.

These all need to be considered.

When we cooperate in the future, we must discuss possible situations in advance.

Under Shen Yang's consideration, the game continued on the field. After Chelsea lost the ball, they launched a fierce attack on Fulham's goal.

Coleman hurriedly stood on the sidelines, shouting to raise the team's attention to defense.

At the beginning, they just paid attention to defense. After less than 5 minutes, Fulham had turned into a full-line defense. Even Andy Cole returned to his own half, leaving only McBride in the frontcourt.

The game proved that the state of Fulham players is indeed very good.

Chelsea attacked very violently, and Fulham became extremely passive, but many players played well and made few mistakes on the field, so Chelsea had few opportunities. In addition, Van der Sar, who was in the "goal god state" in front of the goal, Fans can see the solidity of Fulham's defense.

This situation has been maintained until the end of the halftime.

During the half-time break, Coleman explained the tactics of the second half in the locker room. Generally speaking, it is to make all players pay attention to defense and rely on the personal ability of the frontcourt players to seek counterattacks.

This tactic is almost equivalent to giving up the offense.

All players understand Coleman's thoughts, and they actually hold similar thoughts-Fulham leads by one goal, there is no need to risk attacking again.

For this away derby, a point for Fulham is equal to victory. You must know that the opponent is Chelsea. The league is still unbeaten so far. To get a point at Chelsea's home court is already a very satisfactory result. .

So in the second half, Fulham continued to defend firmly. To borrow Mourinho's words, "the opponent drove a bus in front of the goal."

In football games, crowd tactics are the best defensive tactics.

Any team will have a headache facing crowd tactics, and Chelsea is the same, especially the Fulham players are in good condition. Chelsea players find it difficult for them to find loopholes, so they can only keep kicking around to find opportunities.

This kind of offensive play is too difficult to score.

Chelsea's strength is undoubtedly very strong. They got three good chances in the second half, and once they faced goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar.

Van der Sar's state is too brave!
Facing the crisis again and again in front of the goal, Van der Sar swung left and right and turned into Avalokitesvara to resolve the threats again and again.

In the end, Fulham persisted until the last minute of the game.

In the excitement of all Fulham supporters, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, "beep..." The long whistle became the most beautiful melody, driving all Fulham supporters The passion is surging, and it also makes all Chelsea supporters feel sad.

The media are all excited!
No matter which camp the media is in, big news is the key. Chelsea won Fulham, and there is nothing to report. Turn it around, and there is too much to report.

This is a big upset!

Not only because of Fulham's victory, but also because of Chelsea's undefeated before, the Blues certainly did not expect that their first defeat was at Fulham's hands, and they certainly did not expect that they would lose at Stamford Bridge .

Many media reporters are looking forward to the interview after getting up for a while.

Stamford Bridge has become the home of Fulham, Fulham players are celebrating the victory, they embrace each other to celebrate.

Some players do not forget to give Chelsea players a hug, such as Andy Cole, as a former Manchester United "black and white double evil" combination, he knows many players, and is very familiar with England players such as Terry and Lampard , he gave Lampard a hug.

Lampard smiled bitterly, "You played well!"

"Thank you!" Andy Cole grinned happily.

In fact, for Andy Cole, it is difficult to bring passion to how his team is doing. After all, no matter how good Fulham is, it is impossible for him to match the former Manchester United. It is difficult for him. What an honor to get in Fulham, but it is still very happy to win Chelsea, especially he contributed the only assist in the game, so he performed enough to be happy for several days.

Lampard couldn't help but said, "You guys have performed well recently. I watched your last game against Tottenham, and your performance was quite exciting. I find it very strange. Have you guys made any adjustments recently?"

This is the doubt in Lampard's mind.

Let’s not talk about Fulham’s last game against Tottenham Hotspur. Their performance this time is also great. Every player on the field seems to be in a brave state. Andy Cole can’t even defend. Well done, not to mention their goalkeeper Van der Sar, not only was solid in front of the goal, but also saved two must-go goals.

This performance is amazing.

Andy Cole laughed, "Didn't you read those reports? We have a team from China doing state training, which is very useful, really!" He emphasized a few words.

"Huaxia's team? What kind of sports center is it? I seem to have seen it. They have a team leader and are very famous."

"Yes, that's Shen, it's amazing!"

"Will it really work? I've never heard of any form of training." Lampard asked skeptically.

"Of course, look at the performance of me and my players!"

Lampard nodded solemnly. He felt that this should be remembered and told to the head coach when he summarized and analyzed after the game.

Would it have been better if Chelsea had also had a 'form training team' to help?
