The strongest winger

Chapter 685 Confidence from Liverpool?

After Chelsea defeated Middlesbrough in an away game, they achieved 2006 consecutive unbeaten league games from the 2007-2008 season to the 2009-57 season, which made the English media and even the mainstream European media quite amazed and focused their attention on them.

Among them, the Italian media has maintained a high degree of attention.

Because AC Milan's 58 unbeaten league rounds are the pride of Italy. With the overall decline in Serie A, they don't want Chelsea to break this sacred record.

When Wenger led Arsenal to 49 unbeaten league games, it caused a sensation throughout Europe, and was even considered a miracle in the 21st century. This shows how difficult it is for the 57 unbeaten records of top European leagues to enter the new century.

Especially the Premier League, which is known as the most competitive in Europe.

However, before this Premier League, which attracts the attention of the whole of Europe, there is another game that attracts the attention of the whole of Europe-the third round of the UEFA Champions League group stage in the 2008-2009 season.

What's interesting is that Chelsea's opponent in the third round of the group stage is Roma, a team from Serie A.

Therefore, the local Italian media began to talk about Rome, hoping that they could kill Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

This team can be said to be very familiar to Aiello. He had the experience of playing against Roma in the group stage in Valencia. The current Roma has not changed much from the previous two seasons. The team is still built with Totti and De Rossi as the core, and the head coach is still bald Spalletti.

Before the game, Roma coach Luciano Spalletti expressed his confidence in leading the team to Stamford Bridge: "Chelsea this season has continued the good form of last season, but in our eyes they are not invulnerable. I firmly believe that our wolf pack tactics can tear apart Chelsea's solid defense..."

When asked how to defend Aiello, Pasletti said honestly: "For a player like Ai Luo, what we consider is not how to limit him, but to allow our forward line to score more goals!!"

It was nothing to the ears of the English media, but when it reached the ears of the Chinese media, it felt like a bliss...

尽管比赛前罗马主教练帕斯莱蒂表达了充分的信心，但事实上来到客场的罗马对于在英伦比的赛极不适应，2006-2007赛季欧冠1/4决赛客场挑战曼联遭遇7：1血洗就是最好的数据。

Of course, Roma did not lose 7:1 at Stamford Bridge, but lost a 4:1, in which Aiello personally contributed two goals and one assist, which can be said to be the biggest contributor to this game.

The game was won, but Mourinho was not happy after the game, because the team had conceded goals in several consecutive games. As the head coach with the most momentum today, he has very strict requirements for the team.

The so-called defense determines the championship. Now that the league has just started less than two months ago, the team has conceded goals one after another. How can he feel happy?
Compared to a 4:1 victory, Mourinho prefers a clean 3:0
So... After playing the third round of the Champions League group stage at home, Mourinho did not give the team a day off to relax, but instead punished the players for their negligence and conducted additional training.

※※※

Three days later, he will face Liverpool coached by Spaniard Benitez at home again. Mourinho does not want to have any surprises in his appearance. Even if he is not undefeated in the upcoming 58 rounds of the league, he must not lose to Liverpool.

What's more, the team has Ai Luo, who has a goal guarantee, so how can there be a reason to lose?
The most perfect game result in Mourinho's mind is to score zero goals, win the game, humiliate Benitez, and 'revenge' for his friend!
On the day of Chelsea's additional training, the European mainstream media once again compared Aiello, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi together. Aiello scored two goals in the third round of the UEFA Champions League group match, bringing his own Champions League single season.

In another group match that was going on at the same time, Cristiano Ronaldo scored a goal in Manchester United's home victory over the Celtics.

Therefore, which team won the final Big Ears Cup has also become confusing.

The comment given by "French Football" is: "After the three rounds of the Champions League group stage, Manchester United, Chelsea and Barcelona played normally and won all the games. The core players in the team have contributed their own strength... It is worth mentioning that this season's Ai seems to have declined in terms of statistics, and only scored four goals in the past three rounds... For Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, this is the season with the most obvious progress. Will this represent a rebound for Cristiano Ronaldo's Manchester United and Messi's Barcelona? However, regardless of this season's The result of the Champions League and how far the three teams can go in the end are inseparable from these three players..."

"Bild" also talked about the state of the three: "After the three rounds of the Champions League group stage, Ai, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi have scored four goals, helping their respective teams to win three consecutive victories. But what we have to pay attention to is the personal data of the three of them. Ai's scoring ability has a clear downward trend compared with the previous two seasons, while Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi have improved compared to their previous data. This... Will it be an opportunity for Manchester United and Barcelona?"

While the European mainstream media discusses which of the three is the most popular, they also have to marvel at Aiello's super performance in the four Champions League seasons. From the 2005-2006 season to the 2008-2009 season so far, he has scored an astonishing 61 goals in the Champions League.

The headline of the "Turin Sports Gazette", which has always had a good relationship with Aiello, was: Incredible efficiency!

"The Dutch star Ruud van Nistelrooy only played in the UEFA Champions League on behalf of Eindhoven in the 1998-1999 season, while Ai played the first UEFA Champions League group match in the 2005-2006 season. What is unacceptable is that he scored an astonishing 61 goals in the UEFA Champions League in just four seasons, while the other number one Van Nistelrooy scored 10 goals in 61 seasons. Sometimes we have to question whether he belongs to Earth. If Ronaldo If it is an alien, then Ai is a person from an extraterrestrial galaxy..."

Similarly, the local media in London also have focused reports, especially The Times, which is very detailed.

“如果说克里斯蒂亚诺·罗纳尔多和莱奥·梅西有着追赶艾步伐的可能性，那么让我们回头看看艾在近四个欧冠联赛当中的表现，2005-2006赛季12场攻入16球，2006-2007赛季13场攻入21球，而2007-2008赛季13场攻入19球，本赛季欧冠小组赛3轮过去攻入4球，也就是说他41场欧冠比赛攻入惊人的61球，与皇马前锋范尼斯特鲁伊并列欧冠射手王……所以说，克里斯蒂亚诺·罗纳尔多和莱奥·梅西还有很长的一段路要走！”

China's domestic media even used a rare genius to describe Ai Luo.

After Liverpool's home draw against Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League group stage, Liverpool's local media quickly shifted their focus back to the league.

Liverpool performed well in the first eight rounds of the league, with five wins, two draws and one loss, ranking third in the league with 17 points, second only to Chelsea and Manchester United.

This result is acceptable to other teams, but compared to Chelsea, which has seven wins and one tie in eight league rounds, it seems to be two grades behind.

And as long as Chelsea does not lose to Liverpool in this round of the league, they can tie AC Milan's unbeaten record of 1991 European top league games from 1993 to 58, and their mentality is at an advantage.

In addition, Liverpool's rival Arsenal's opponent in this round of the league is the newly promoted Hull City, which means that they lose to Chelsea in this round of the league, and if Arsenal wins the game, then Liverpool will give up the third place in the league.

Now, Chelsea is about to create this magical record on Liverpool, which is an unacceptable result for the former European overlord Liverpool.

Regardless of the starting point, Liverpool is a game that they cannot afford to lose.

Two days before the game, when Benitez was interviewed by a local reporter outside the Melwood training base, he said excitedly: "We will win the league game at Stamford Bridge no matter what!" The excited expression and movement, almost said to the reporter that he lost the live broadcast of "eating Xiang"...

Robbie Keane, the Liverpool champion of the new season, also talked about this game in an interview with reporters. Facing the local Liverpool media, he was very confident: "I firmly believe that it is a very wise choice for Liverpool to introduce me to the team at the beginning of the season, and I will use my ability to repay the team's kindness. Liverpool is a great team, and I also firmly believe that I will become a great player with this great team..."

As the game day approaches, how can Mascherano be missing?
In his entire career, except for defeating the Chinese Olympic team led by Aiello in the Olympic semi-final penalty shootout, he has never had any victories against Aiello, but it is undeniable that Mascherano is a professional player with very high professionalism.

"Our goal this season is to break the monopoly of Chelsea and Manchester United in the league, so our goal in this game is to beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and enter the championship ranks!"

Even if the local media in Liverpool knew that the game was going to be bad or bad, they should at least show confidence in winning, right?
