I work as a coach at Stamford Bridge

Chapter 42
There is not much time left for Yunqiao to think. February 2 is the 2th round of the Premier League. Chelsea will be away at Fratton Park Stadium against Redknapp's team Portsmouth.

Yes, it was the old Lei from Tottenham.

This season, the team led by Lao Lei once ranked in the top four in the league. Although the ranking has dropped, it is still ranked in the middle and upper reaches, and may even grab a seat in the European theater.

Yunqiao didn't have much manpower, and there was no Terry and Ashley Cole on the back, so he had to send Bridge, Alex and two newcomers, Robert Huth and Ivan Ferret. Both La and Carvalho Yunqiao let them temporarily stand by on the bench.

The midfield has not changed, and there is nothing to change. Portsmouth is not a weak team. Yunqiao sent veteran Makelele. There is no way.

It's a bit troublesome to be a striker. Lewandowski is too young, and Sheva is really dying now. After thinking about it for a long time, Yunqiao still chose Lewandowski.

Lao Lei doesn't care about you, he now wants to lead the team to the European theater, so he will play with all his strength, and arranged for Defoe, who came from Tottenham, to become Portsmouth's starting striker.

Although Yunqiao couldn't command from the coach's bench, he followed the team to Fratton Park and sat among the Chelsea fans.

It was not until the end of the game that Yunqiao went down to join the team. It was a 1:1 tie. There was nothing remarkable about this game. Brito led the team a bit conservatively. After Wright Jr. scored in the first half Started to defend.But in the end, Defoe scored a goal and only scored one point.

Fortunately, this round of the league, Manchester United also tied Tottenham, Dimitar Berbatov and Carlos Tevez each scored a goal, Manchester United did not close the score.Arsenal, however, won against Manchester City and now have the same 57 points as Manchester United, 4 points behind Chelsea.

On February 2th, the 10th round of the Premier League, Chelsea faced Benitez's Liverpool at home. Before the game, many people said that this is Liverpool's opportunity. Chelsea, who is short of major generals, will definitely lose points on Liverpool.

In fact, even though Yunqiao made sufficient preparations before the game, Chelsea still only scored one point at home. 0:0 draw with Liverpool, Liverpool's main striker Torres was injured a while ago and was unable to play.But Chelsea injured another person after the game. Sheva sprained his ankle after coming off the bench, and it is conservatively estimated that he will be injured for another two weeks.

Chelsea drew two consecutive rounds of the league and only scored two points. The media believed that this was a chance for Manchester United and Arsenal.

Ferguson stumbled, and lost to Manchester City 1:2 in the Manchester Derby at home. Instead of scoring equally, he lost points.

The professor just accepted the gift from the two colleagues with a smile, and won two games in a row, surpassing Manchester United, but only two points behind Chelsea.

After the 26th round of the Premier League, Chelsea still retained the first position with 62 points, and Arsenal ranked second with 60 points and 57 points over Manchester United.Liverpool still ranks fourth with 48 points. His points cannot threaten the top three positions. Instead, his own position is a bit dangerous. Everton and Astonville are chasing after him.

After playing two league games, on February 2th, Chelsea will play the fourth round of the FA Cup as a guest at Wigan Athletic. Facing Wigan, which is under pressure to relegation, Chelsea easily defeated their opponents. It is worth mentioning that Ash Leigh Cole has finally lifted the ban, but Yunqiao still has two games, and Terry has four games.

After the fourth round of the FA, the fifth round will be on the 16th. This time, the opponent is the League One team Huddersfield. Yunqiao has arranged a large number of young players to play, Robert Huth, Michael Mann Sheen, Michael Woods and Jimmy Smith, this is the most Chelsea academy player has played in recent years.

Under the command of Lampard and Ballack, this group of rookies played 6:0 at home, discrediting the teams coming from League One.

The outstanding performance of this group of newcomers made Chelsea's youth training once again famous in the Premier League, and Jimmy Smith, the 21-year-old young midfielder who made his first-team appearance for the first time, contributed a goal and two goals in this FA Cup. assists.Excellent passing ability and powerful long-range shots were praised by the media after the game, thinking that he would be the next Lampard.

In Yunqiao's eyes, this young player is much worse than Lampard. Although he has advantages, his disadvantages are also obvious.His defensive ability is almost non-existent, and he doesn't even like to fight back after losing the ball. On this point, Yunqiao gave him up, which is not in line with his football philosophy.

There were also two surprises in this round of the FA Cup. Manchester United swept Arsenal 4-0, and Ferguson gave the professor another unforgettable night.It can’t be blamed for the professor’s lack of effort. It’s really because Arsenal have been working hard for the league’s results. Now the first team has 8 wounded, including goalkeeper Almunia, Rosicky and Walcott in the frontcourt, The professor gave up this round of the FA Cup.Maybe he didn't think that Ferguson would be so ruthless and play with all the main players.

And another strong team, Liverpool, was even worse, losing 1:2 at home to the British Championship team Barnsley.

After this game, the Africa Cup of Nations was finally over, and Drogba and the others returned to London.Yunqiao is happy. They came back in time. On February 2, they will play in the round of 20 of the Champions League. Chelsea's opponent is Olympiacos from Greece.

Now, except for Terry's suspension in the league, Chelsea's players are finally complete, and Sheva's limb injury is also healed, and he can participate in training.

Perhaps because he didn't play well in the national team, Drogba returned home to Chelsea and was extremely fierce. He scored two goals in Greece and helped Chelsea lead Olympiacos by two goals in the first half.It may also be stimulated by Lewandowski. During his absence, Lewandowski did a good job. Drogba must use better performance to tell Lewandowski that now, I am Chelsea's starting center forward.

In the second half, Olympiacos retreated completely and did not give Chelsea another chance. In the end, Chelsea defeated Olympiacos 2-0, making a step towards the top 8.This result was also expected by the media, Chelsea's strength is much stronger than their opponents.

这一轮其他英超球队踢得也不错，利物浦主场2：0击败国际米兰，阿森纳0:0战平AC米兰，曼联客场1：1打平里昂。

Chelsea and Liverpool have the highest chance of qualifying. Manchester United holds an away goal. Although Arsenal did not win, they have no opponents to score away goals. The chances are still great.

Back in London, Chelsea will start the League Cup final with Tottenham at Wembley Stadium on the 25th.

Yunqiao is still suspended for this match, and it is also his last suspension.
