Ice Shooter of the Green Field - Vol 4 Chapter 179

Back in London this time, Qi Ce’s huge mansion was finally not only for him to live in. Irene, who had summer vacation, and Lin Xiaojia, who graduated, all moved into Qi Ce’s new mansion. Qi Ce was finally like a model. Had a decent birthday.

On her twenty-second birthday, six years have passed since Qi Ce set foot on the European continent at the age of sixteen, and the seventh year is about to reveal the mysterious veil.

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

Doing one thing repeatedly for many years will inevitably lead to boredom and slack, but after resuming training, Qi Ce feels pretty good.

Chelsea is also planning a trip to Asia this summer. Qi Ce’s huge influence in Asia, especially China, makes the team salivating. This is the case in Dortmund. In fact, let alone the trip to Asia, even a trip to Japan The Club World Cup has made Dortmund a lot of money, not to mention going directly to Zice’s home country.

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

The Asia trip is actually a commercial trip. The team is mainly making money. It is impossible to say that it takes effort and effort in this game. As a traditional head coach, Hiddink is actually quite opposed to these commercialized things, so there are no special tactics for friendly games. In terms of lineup, Hiddink also chose young players and substitutes for the main half of the half.

In the first game, Chelsea played against Manchester City in Guangzhou. Zize started and was replaced by Drogba at halftime. The final score between the two sides was 2:2. In the first half, Zize failed to score, and Manchester City scored a goal. , and then the second half turned into a performance by the teenagers. Chelsea’s new aid Van Ginkle scored on his debut, and the other goal was the teenager Hazard, not the first team’s Hazard, but his younger brother, Torgan Azar. zar.

The second game was played in Shanghai, and the opponent was Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga squad. 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 ushered in an important personnel change. Guardiola officially took over as the coach of Bayern Munich. He will inject a system of passing control into the team. Last season’s strongest Bayern Munich was blocked by Chelsea in the semi-finals. The first meeting with Chelsea in the pre-season of the new season, fans also want to see what Guardiola can come up with.

Guardiola’s first game coached against European champion Chelsea, they played well, and finally beat Chelsea 4:2, which made many fans in Shanghai a little dissatisfied.

However, the only consolation was that Zice scored twice. In this game, Zice came off the bench in the second half. At that time, the score was 1:0. Qice scored an equalizing goal, and then Bayern scored two goals in a row to exceed again. Qi Ce scored another goal in the 82nd minute, but the teenagers in the back line had little experience, and Bayern was very serious about this game. In the end, even Qi Ce was unable to save the defeat on the field.

Finally, they went to Beijing Workers Stadium to challenge Beijing Guoan. Drogba served as the starting striker. Zice replaced Drogba in 62 minutes. In the first hour of the game, Beijing Guoan unexpectedly took the lead, but Drogba was in the lead. Forty minutes to equalize the score, and then Xuerle reversed the score.

After Zice played, he broke the goal in 71 minutes to expand the score to 3:1, which was also the final score of the game.

For the team, especially the first-team players here, the trip to China is actually not very beneficial. It can only be regarded as a collective long-distance trip, but the schedule is relatively rushed, and it is difficult to say that the training is difficult. After coming to China, the players Just busy with running and activities, in fact, it is not very beneficial to the pre-season preparations.

However, Manchester City, the biggest rival 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 rival in the new season. Manchester United is due to the retirement of Ferguson and the instability of the lineup. It may not appear in the championship ranks for a short time.

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

After the Asia tour, the whole team returned to London for the real new season preparations, invited a British Championship team, played a friendly match in Charlton in London, and then played against the Serie A Roma and youth teams. In the two practice matches, facing Charlton, Chelsea was in poor form, and they were tied 0:0 with their opponents. Facing Roma, they regained some form and defeated their opponents 2:1, and the youth team was pre-season. In the final game, facing the little brothers at the Cobham base, 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 European Super Cup, the 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 journey to the championship is also more interesting, because neither of these two teams are absolute title favorites, and they are very passive in the final. One side, but in the end it was them who took the crown.

Wigan Athletic defeated the mighty Manchester City 1:0 in the FA Cup final, which also directly led to the dismissal of the famous Italian coach Mancini. This year, the Blue Moon four led by Mancho got nothing, and the FA was originally considered a sure-fire FA. The cup was also upset, which made the oil fathers who had some reason to make a decision immediately. Mancini was dismissed from get out of class, effective immediately.

The more interesting thing about the champions Wigan Athletic is that they were relegated from the Premier League last season. They are a British Championship team in the new season, but because they won the FA Cup, they still have to play in the Europa League. Community Shield participants.

The other team, Basel, is more interesting. On the way to the final, they defeated the mighty Liverpool. In the semi-final, they drew 1:1 with Liverpool in the two rounds. In the end, they eliminated the opponent in a penalty shootout. In the final against Benfica, many people thought that Benfica’s curse of Gutmann would be broken today, because they took a two-goal lead from the opening 30 minutes, but they were eventually dragged into extra time by Basel. At 108 minutes, Basel’s Egyptian teenager Mohamed Salah won the lore and won the intercontinental championship for the first time in history!

This made the fans of Benfica dumbfounded. Unexpectedly, Gutman’s spirit in the sky still hated Benfica, and the curse is still valid!

The curse of Gutman comes from Bela Gutman, the famous Hungarian coach 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 used two words to describe him as arrogant and aggressive, similar to the later Portuguese madman Mourinho. He rarely coached a team for more than two seasons, but he was full of honors. , Now the most well-known is the famous Gutman curse. When he twice led Benfica to the Champions League, Gutman’s request for a raise was rejected. The Hungarian resigned angrily and said so in an interview with the media. One sentence: “Benfica will not win the European Championship in the next 100 years!”

Half of this sentence has been fulfilled. In the following 50 years, Benfica has entered the finals of intercontinental competitions seven times, and all of them have failed. AC Milan, Inter Milan, Manchester United, Anderlecht, PSV and now Basel stepped on their shoulders to win the championship.

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, the legendary Portuguese star Eusebio even personally visited Gutman’s tomb to pray and ask 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 make offerings, hoping that he could take back the curse, but in the end Salah’s lore left Benfica fans speechless.

To put it simply, neither of these two final opponents is very strong. They had a lot of luck and even curse in winning the championship last season. Wigan Athletic and Basel are both weak sides in the final. Chelsea may not need to beat them. It takes too much effort. It can be said that it is an experience package that is delivered to your door, and you can get two championship medals with little gold content.

Of course, don’t give up the champion that comes to your door. The new Wembley Stadium, Chelsea beat Wigan Athletic, which has been relegated this season, with a score of 5:1 in this blessed land, and easily won the English Community Shield Championship!
