I work as a coach at Stamford Bridge

Chapter 57 Defeat in Istanbul

After 31 rounds of the Premier League, Chelsea ranked first with 77 points, Manchester United ranked second with 72 points, Arsenal only had 2 points, 64 points behind Chelsea, and basically withdrew from the championship.

Now the most likely champions of the Premier League are Chelsea and Manchester United. Although Manchester United is now 5 points behind, many media believe that the final champion is Manchester United.Ferguson has repeatedly overtook his opponents at the last moment in the Premier League.

In addition, Chelsea is still fighting on the third line, the Premier League, the FA Cup and the Champions League, each of which has come to a critical moment. The young Yunqiao does not seem to be able to convince everyone that he can lead the team to success in the third line ability.

And the media gave Yunqiao an idea, saying that he would give up the FA Cup and, like Manchester United, only play in the league and the Champions League.

It's just that Yunqiao has always used substitute players to play in domestic cup games, and there has been no physical problem.It is also because of this that Chelsea's players are in very good condition.

A week later, on March 3, the last game of the month, the 30nd round of the league, Chelsea played Middlesbrough at home.In this game, Yunqiao also sent a large number of substitute players, such as Sheva, Wright Jr., Kalu and Malouda who have not started for a long time.

Middlesbrough's current ranking is not safe, they are in the lower reaches of the Premier League, and they are naturally going all out for this game.

It ended up being an ugly game against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, and until the very end, Chelsea's only goal was scored by Carvalho's header from a free-kick in the frontcourt.Almost allowed Middlesbrough to take 1 point away from Stamford Bridge.

The top four teams in this round all won the game. Arsenal defeated Bolton 3:2, and finally ended their embarrassing record of many invincible games before the start of the Champions League.Manchester United also slaughtered Aston Villa 4-0 at home.

The best coach of the Premier League in March was awarded to Ferguson. Although Yunqiao also had a record of unbeaten victory throughout March, the FA still awarded the best coach to Ferguson.Yunqiao just got the best coach from the FA last month. Naturally, they will not give Yunqiao this time.

In April, the major European football competitions have also come to the last two months. On April 4nd, the quarter-finals of the Champions League restarted. The first game started was the match between Rome and Manchester United. Play against Barcelona at the same time.

Needless to say the grievances between Rome and Manchester United, this time the Roman generals also hope to avenge their defeat.

It's a pity that sometimes the truth is so cruel. It doesn't mean that you can do whatever you want, and you can't get things done with determination.

Manchester United defeated Roma 2-0 in Rome. Ronaldo opened the scoring and also broke his record of not being able to score away in the Champions League knockout round.This season, Ronaldo is also fully fired, ranking first with 7 goals.Rooney scored another goal in the 80th minute to seal the victory.

In another game, Schalke 04 played the whole game around Barcelona at home and shot more than 20 goals. After watching the whole game, the two teams seemed to have switched positions.And Barcelona was besieged by the audience, and finally Henry assisted Bojan to score the audience's goal.

Fans who watched this game felt that Schalke 04 was the team that should win.

On the afternoon of the 3rd, Yunqiao also brought the team to the Sarajoglu Stadium in Istanbul, but the spirit of the entire Chelsea, from the coach to the players, was not very good.

can you?
Yunqiao felt very helpless when he thought of last night. Fenermache fans had been making trouble in the collapsed hotel of Chelsea last night. In the end, Yunqiao made Grant call the police, but drove away a group and came again.There is simply no time to rest.

The fans left in the morning, Yunqiao had to let the players continue to sleep, and he took the assistant coach to discuss how to play the game in the afternoon.

"Dean, how much physical fitness do you think the players can maintain in the afternoon?" Yunqiao asked the team doctor.

Dean yawned a lot, and he was not too young. Chelsea's coaching staff, Yunqiao, was younger than the players, and the others were naturally much older than the players.

"Yun, it's not bad to have [-]% of your physical fitness."

Yunqiao frowned, maybe he didn't feel it, since March, Yunqiao frowned more and more.

This afternoon is a difficult game, and this is the first time Yunqiao has encountered such a situation. No wonder the teams in the five major leagues say that Turkey's home court is the home of the Magic Ghost.

"Play defensively," Pochettino began.

"Yes," Brito agreed.

Seeing that several other people agreed, Yunqiao would not say that he must attack, but he liked to refer to other people's opinions.

"Okay, then the starting lineup needs to be adjusted." Yunqiao and the coaching staff began to study the starting lineup, and they didn't come up with the starting lineup until noon.

The goalkeeper is Petr Cech;
Defenders Terry, Ashley Cole, Paulo Ferreira, Alex and Ivanovic;
Midfielders Makelele, Lampard, Ballack and Joe Cole;
At the top is Didier Drogba.

It is worth mentioning that this is the first time Ivan started in the Champions League.

It's just that the result was not very good. Chelsea lost in the away game, and the players' condition was really bad.

Although Fenemache's player David scored an own goal in the first 4 minutes of the game, in the second half, Chelsea's players quickly ran out.

Kazim Richards, who came off the bench, got a good chance in the penalty area. After he got the ball, there was only one Alex next to him. He didn't dribble the ball anymore, and volleyed with a half-turn.The ball went straight to the lower left corner, and Cech was beyond his reach.

At the last moment of the game, Aurelio made a long pass from the midfield, which directly penetrated the entire Chelsea defense. Originally, Terry and the others were also planning to cause offside, but unfortunately, Makelele came back late.

David didn't stop the ball either, and drew a big and beautiful arc with his instep on the edge of the penalty area. Cech couldn't touch the ball even if he jumped up while standing in the position.

Now, the entire Sarajoglu stadium is hot.

Fenerbahce is a giant in the Turkish Super League, but in the eyes of European teams, they are just a nutritious boy. Their entire team history is almost lackluster in the European war.The last win against the European giants was a 2004-05 win over Manchester United in the 3/0 season.

Now they have a chance to take down a European giants again, can the fans not be happy?Don't your five major leagues look down on us?Now, it's not us who win.

Chelsea's defeat to Istanbul is the biggest football news of the week, Barcelona have not had a great season but they have won.

Since Yunqiao took office, Chelsea has been very strong in the Champions League. Seeing who will destroy who, sometimes they will be on the bench.

But now they are playing with all their main players, and they actually lost, losing to Fenerbahce 2:1.
