Chapter 733 The Champion Sent to Your Door
Back in London this time, Qi Ce is not the only one living in that huge mansion at last. Irene, who is on summer vacation, and Lin Xiaojia, who graduated, all moved into Qi Ce's new mansion. Had a decent birthday.

On his 22nd birthday, six years have passed since Qi Ce set foot on the European continent at the age of 16, and the seventh year is about to lift the veil of mystery.

On average, human cells complete an overall metabolism every seven years. In other words, you and the you seven years ago are already two people from a certain point of view, and the seventh year of doing certain things is considered very critical Of course, it is more used to describe love, but in fact, some work and study are also easy to happen.

After doing one thing repeatedly for many years, it is inevitable that there will be boredom and slack, but after resuming training, Qi Ce feels pretty good.

Chelsea also plans to visit Asia this summer. Qi Ce's huge influence in Asia, especially China, makes the team salivate. This is the case in Dortmund. In fact, let alone travel to Asia, even a trip to Japan The Club World Cup has allowed Dortmund to make a lot of money, let alone go directly to Zize's home country.

Now it's Chelsea's turn to taste the sweetness. On Wednesday, July 24th, the Chelsea team will start a week-and-a-half week trip to China. This so-called Asian trip is actually a trip to China. Chelsea plans to play three games in three cities They are Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. In addition to Chelsea, some other European giants will come to China this summer. Chelsea will play against two European teams in China. One is against Bayern Munich in Shanghai and the other is against Guangzhou. Manchester City, in Beijing, played a friendly match with the host Beijing Guoan.

The Asian tour is actually a commercial tour.The team is all about making money. It’s impossible to say that it takes effort and effort to spend on this game. As a traditional head coach, Hiddink is actually quite opposed to these commercial things, so there are no special tactics for friendly matches. In terms of lineup, Hiddink also chose half-court main half-court young players and substitutes.

The first game was Chelsea against Manchester City in Guangzhou. Qi Ce started the game and was replaced by Didier Drogba at halftime. The final score of the two sides was 2:2. Qi Ce failed to score in the first half and Manchester City scored a goal. , Then the second half turned into a performance by the teenagers. New Chelsea aid Van Ginkel scored in his debut. The other goal was the teenager Hazard. zar.

The second game was played in Shanghai against Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga champions. Compared with Manchester City, Zize found that Bayern Munich took this kind of game more seriously, and almost all the main players started against Chelsea.

This season, Bayern Munich has ushered in an important personnel change. Pep Guardiola is officially in charge of Bayern Munich. It is the first time to meet Chelsea in the preseason of the new season, and the fans also want to see what Guardiola can come up with.

Guardiola faced the European champions Chelsea in their first match. They played well and finally defeated Chelsea 4:2, which made many fans in Shanghai a little dissatisfied.

But the only consolation is that Qi Ce scored twice. In the second half of this game, Qi Ce came off the bench. The score was 1:0. Zize scored another goal in the 82nd minute, but the young player in the back line had little experience, and Bayern was very serious about the game. In the end, even Zize was unable to save the defeat on the field.

Finally, he went to Beijing Workers Stadium to challenge Beijing Guoan. Drogba served as the starting striker. Zize came on as a substitute for Drogba in the 62nd minute. An hour before the game, Beijing Guoan unexpectedly took the lead, but Drogba scored 10 points in four. Minutes equalized the score, and then Schurrle reversed the score.

After Qi Ce played, he scored in the 71st minute to expand the score to 3:1, which was also the final score of the game.

The trip to China is actually not very beneficial to the team, especially the first-team players here. Just being busy with traveling and activities is actually not very beneficial to pre-season preparations.

However, Manchester City, the biggest competitor of the Premier League in the new season, has also come to China, which makes Hiddink a little more balanced. He knows that Manchester City will be Chelsea's biggest competitor in the new season. It may not appear in the championship ranks in a short time.

Several other competitors such as Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham, these are difficult to threaten Manchester City and Chelsea.

After the Asian tour, the whole team returned to London for real preparations for the new season. They invited a Championship team to play a friendly match in Charlton in London, and then played against Roma and youth teams in Serie A. In the two practice matches, facing Charlton, Chelsea was in poor form and tied 0:0 with their opponents. Facing Roma, they regained some form and beat their opponents 2:1. In the last game, against the little brothers at Cobham, the Chelsea first team beat the youth team 4-1.

In the new season, Chelsea will participate in the England Community Shield Cup and the UEFA Super Cup. Their opponents are Wigan Athletic and Basel from the Swiss Super League.

These two teams won the FA Cup and the Europa League respectively last season, and their championship journey is also quite interesting, because neither of these two teams is an absolute favorite for the championship, and they were very passive in the final One side, but they are the ones who won the crown in the end.

Wigan Athletic beat the powerful Manchester City 1-0 in the FA Cup final, which directly led to the resignation of the famous Italian coach Mancini. The cup was also upset, which made the oil daddies who were still a little bit embarrassed to make an immediate decision. Mancini dismissed get out of class, effective immediately.

What's more interesting about the champions Wigan Athletic is that they were relegated from the Premier League last season. Participants of the Community Shield.

Another team, Basel, is more interesting. On the way to the final, they defeated the powerful Liverpool. In the semi-finals, they drew 1:1 with Liverpool in two rounds. They finally eliminated their opponents in a penalty shootout. Facing Benfica in the final, many people thought that Benfica's Gutman curse would be broken today, because they took a two-goal lead from the opening 10 minutes, but they were eventually dragged into overtime by Basel. In 108 minutes, Basel's Egyptian teenager Mohamed Salah won the lore and won the intercontinental championship for the first time in history!

This made Benfica fans dumbfounded. Unexpectedly, Gutman's spirit still hated Benfica, and the curse is still valid!

Gutman's curse comes from Hungarian coach Bella Gutman, who led Benfica to the top of Europe twice 50 years ago. He has coached AC Milan, Sao Paulo, Porto, Benfica and other giants.

The Hungarian who was born at the end of the last century described him as arrogant and aggressive in two words. He is a bit similar to the later Portuguese madman Mourinho. He rarely coached in a team for more than two seasons, but he was full of honors. , the most well-known one now is the famous Gutman curse. When he led Benfica to the Champions League twice, Gutman asked for a salary increase but was rejected. The Hungarian resigned angrily and said so in an interview with the media One sentence: "Benfica will not win the European Championship for the next 100 years!"

Half of this sentence has been fulfilled. In the following 50 years, Benfica entered the intercontinental finals seven times and all failed. AC Milan, Inter Milan, Manchester United, Anderlecht, Eindhoven and now Basel are all stepping on their footsteps. Shoulders win.

Gutman himself died in 1981 at the age of 82. In order to break the spell, before the 1990 Champions League final against AC Milan, Portuguese legend Eusebio even visited Gutman's grave to pray for forgiveness, but in the end he still Failed to win AC Milan.

Last season too, many Benfica fans came to Gutman's tomb to pray and enshrine, hoping that he could take back the curse, but in the end Salah's lore left Benfica fans speechless.

To put it simply, the opponents of these two finals are not very strong. There is a lot of luck and even curse in them to win the championship last season. Wigan Athletic and Basel are the weak sides in the finals. Chelsea may not need to beat them It took too much effort, it can be said to be a door-to-door experience package, and won two championship medals with little gold content.

Of course, don’t miss the champion that comes to your door. In the new Wembley Stadium, Chelsea defeated Wigan Athletic, who had been relegated this season, with a score of 5:1, and easily won the England Community Shield!
