Chapter 494 Courtois' Worries

Chapter 74 Courtois' concerns
"Are you hungry?"

Hiddink's words made the Chelsea players raise their heads.

Terry, who was inserting his own shin guards, stiffened for a moment, and then he looked up at Hiddink.

Seven years ago, when Hiddink walked into the Chelsea dressing room for the first time, he also threw this question to the players.

This is certainly not an attempt to understand how efficiently Chelsea's kitchen works.

Hiddink walked into the locker room and asked such a question. He wanted to know whether the players had any desire for honor. He wanted to know clearly whether these players hoped to succeed under his leadership. He needed affirmation from the players. answer.

Seven years ago, Hiddink got a satisfactory answer-at that time, Chelsea players still had the desire to win.

Seven years ago, Chelsea had Drogba, Petr Cech, Lampard, Terry, and they still had the desire to win.

Now, Chelsea still has Terry in the lineup, but without Lampard, without Cech, and without Drogba.

But now Chelsea has Hazard, Pedro, Willian and Courtois.

They all raised their heads and looked at Hiddink.

"I'm still hungry, boss!"

Terry stood up, looked at Hiddink and said.Just like seven years ago.

"Me too!"

Azpilicueta stood up too.

Immediately followed by Ivanovic, Matic, Courtois...  
Until all the Chelsea players are on their feet...

..........
At this moment, in the locker room of the home team, Ancelotti is also making the final mobilization of the team.

In the end he put Rooney in the starting lineup, but before that, he had a long talk with Rooney.

Ancelotti euphemistically pointed out to Rooney that the core of the team's offense now is Li Qingshan, and he hopes that Rooney can cooperate with Li Qingshan to move and pass the ball as much as possible, and change his previous playing style as much as possible.

After all, the team is no longer based on Rooney's offensive system.

Rooney is also aware of this, he was silent for a while, between the starter and the substitute, he still made a compromise.

He promised Ancelotti that he would do what Mata could do.It is unfortunate that Mata is injured, but for Rooney, this is also his chance to compete for the starting lineup, and he doesn't want to just give up.

"According to the starting list before the game, Rooney still appeared in the starting lineup. It seems that Rooney has not completely lost Ancelotti's trust. I just don't know how he can perform in this game." Sky Sports Ace commentator Andy Gray is sitting in the commentary booth at Old Trafford at the moment.

In this game, both sides can be regarded as sending the strongest lineup. Although Chelsea performed poorly this season, it does not mean anything. Manchester United does not dare to underestimate it.

Except for Diego Costa, who was suspended for accumulating yellow cards, Hiddink really sent the strongest lineup he could send.

The goalkeeper is Courtois, the two central defenders are Terry and Gary Cahill, the left back is Azpilicueta, and the right back is Ivanovic.The two defensive midfielders are Matic and Mikel, the left midfielder Pedro, the central midfielder Oscar, the right midfielder William, and the arrow at the front is Hazard.

Such a lineup, if you don't consider their poor record this season, no opponent dare to take it lightly.

The live broadcast at Old Trafford was introducing the starting lineup of the home team, and the names of two people were called, which was the loudest cheer.

One of them is captain Wayne Rooney.The other one is Li Qingshan.

Although Rooney has declined in the past two seasons, his contribution to Manchester United is obvious to all. He is destined to become a legend of Manchester United.

And Li Qingshan has only been in the team for less than half a season, and he has already won the hearts of the fans with his actual performance.

In the jersey sales list, Li Qingshan's No. [-] jersey is even higher than Rooney's No. [-] jersey. Of course, there are many reasons for this because of Li Qingshan's domestic fans.

When it comes to Di Maria, although the boos have basically disappeared now, when it comes to enthusiastic cheers... that is really pitifully rare.

It seems that the Argentine wants to repair the relationship with the fans, and there is still a way to go.

...........
When the players from both sides shook hands with each other, when Li Qingshan passed by Courtois, the two hugged each other very friendly.

After all, he has been a teammate at Atletico Madrid for more than one season, and the relationship between the two parties is not bad.

After all the players walked by, Courtois looked serious.

He turned his head and said to Captain Terry next to him.

"Captain, we must be very, very, very vigilant against Li Qingshan."

Courtois used several extremes in a row to show how serious he was.

Having been teammates with Li Qingshan for more than one season, Courtois knows Li Qingshan's strength best.Moreover, his impact on Li Qingshan's progress over the past season is quite profound.

Li Qingshan was already quite good in La Liga, but now in the Premier League, Li Qingshan looks even stronger than in La Liga.

Terry tidied up his captain's armband, and seeing Courtois' serious expression, Terry smiled and said: "Don't worry, he is very good, and he is just a player."

Terry has never fought against Li Qingshan, so he doesn't have any intuitive impression of how powerful Li Qingshan is.

He knew that Mourinho wanted Li Qingshan very much in the past, and Mourinho even said that Li Qingshan was the closest to Drogba.

The media has been exaggerating how strong Li Qingshan's body is, as if he could score goals as long as he is physically strong.

Terry is also very confident in his physical fitness. Although he admits that his physical fitness may be slightly inferior to that of Li Qingshan, no matter how strong his body is, he must use it reasonably to exert his power. Not as good as Li Qingshan.

And Drogba is his former teammate, Drogba is very powerful, but Terry also knows that Drogba is not a god, as long as the defensive tactics are arranged reasonably, it is not surprising to block Drogba.

As for the virtue of "the young player closest to Drogba" in Mourinho's mouth, Terry naturally regarded it as proof that Li Qingshan is not as good as Drogba.

Since Li Qingshan is not as good as Drogba, it is not impossible to defend Li Qingshan.

As an experienced central defender, Terry is still quite confident in his ability.

Seeing that Terry didn't seem too alert, Courtois couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

However, his status in Chelsea is obviously not as good as that of Terry. Since Terry thinks it doesn't matter, he can't make any demands on Terry.

It seems that I am busy with this game.

Kurtuku looked at Terry who was going to pick sides before the game, thinking with some worry.
