After the last two tough games, there is still an even tougher one, the Champions League game.
When it was time to play against Messi, Ren Jie realized how powerful and terrifying Messi really was.
When they learned that there would be a battle with Barcelona sooner or later, they added a new line to their daily training to deal with Messi's tactics.
This tactic is very simple. It is to send more people to watch Messi while trying not to leave others empty. Basically, it should be kept around three people. In extreme cases, it may be five.
But now there is a problem. Suarez and Neymar have been added in the past two years. Suarez plays the center position. He is a magic striker. The center back must always pay attention to him.
On the other side, Neymar, this guy is the only one who can possibly compete with Melo. If he wants to dance as a samba dancer, even three or five people can't hold him down.
The key is that it is impossible to take out three or five people to watch him.
These two teams, Real Madrid and Barcelona, are really scary. Such a dynasty team is really scary.
The day of the Champions League soon came, and they traveled a long way to play the first game of the Champions League group stage against Borussia Monchengladbach away from home.
In this game, Ren Jie was completely manipulated by Borussia's twelfth man.
Because of Barcelona, their group can only fight for second place, and the biggest competitor for second place is Chelsea. This is the first match day of the Champions League and it is their home court. They are determined to score points.
Therefore, this game was very fierce and the moves were very big. This was Ren Jie's first time participating in the Champions League. He admitted that he was really shocked by the intensity of the Champions League.
I was also shocked by the challenge of the inferior to the superior. What about you Azar, you Ren Jie, how powerful can you be?
They have studied the two people thoroughly. Azar and the others have no choice but to send more people. For Ren Jie, they have found a way, which is to get in the body.
In this game, Ren Jie was rolling on the green field.
This game was played for him. He wanted to have a fit but didn't dare. It was a Champions League game. In terms of technical level, this was the highest game in the world. He wanted to compete.
But his teammates don't care. They must help Ren Jie take the lead. Of course they can't fight. They fouled and Chelsea should also improve their actions.
This led to constant fouls on the court, constant suspension of the game, and the game was cut into pieces.
Ren Jie came off the field in the 70th minute. His whole body ached. He took a look at his shin pads. Fortunately, his one-time shin pads to protect against leg injuries were still there, which showed that he could still bear it.
The game continued fiercely for ninety minutes, and there was no goal scored in the ninety minutes. The two sides drew a draw, with each receiving one point!
Borussia's goal was achieved, they drew with their biggest rivals and got a point.
Under such circumstances, they have no chance of qualifying.
As long as the Celtics draw one game with Chelsea, they compete with the Celtics. If they win two games against the Celtics, they can even take the initiative to qualify.
In short, this is a good thing for Borussia, but for Chelsea, the pressure is great.
On the other side, in the game between Barcelona and the Celtics, Barcelona beat the Celtics 7-0, crazy, this Barcelona is crazy.
This is even better for Borussia, as they have a better goal difference than Celtic.
The situation in their group suddenly became chaotic. Who can qualify in second place?
Returning to the league, it is once again a strong dialogue game, a game between the big6, London derby, Arsenal vs. Chelsea.
But in this game, Ren Jie took a rest, which is good for a wealthy club. In a double match a week, he can still have the opportunity to take a rest.
What a coincidence, Ren Jie took a rest, and Chelsea, who had been winning consecutively in the league, suffered a 3-0 defeat against Arsenal in the London Derby!
Ren Jie was confused. Could it be that he still had the attributes of a lucky general?
After the league here, Ren Jie hurried to the national team to participate in a friendly match.
You still have to go to the national team games. The opportunity to build rapport with your teammates only comes a few times a year.
It's almost the year of the World Cup. The World Cup is Ren Jie's dream. His dream is to lead the Xia National Team to participate in the World Cup, but now he has no choice.
But playing in the World Cup and winning the Hercules Cup is every player's dream. This is also his mother's dream, and he wants to fulfill it.
In the World Cup, there is no rhythm, what lineup is not good, what tacit understanding is insufficient, four years to prepare for you, and no matter how bad England is, how bad can it be? There is only one word for going there, win! Win every game!
At the beginning of the month, on the second match day of the Champions League, against Celtic, Ren Jie knew the importance of this game and approached Mourinho, "Coach, don't you need me to do anything in this game?"
"Huh? What are you doing?" Mourinho turned to look at Ren Jie.
"It doesn't matter. Can't you win as a Celtic? Besides, what can you do if you can't win? If you lose two games, you won't be able to qualify? Ren Jie!"
Mourinho turned directly to Ren Jie and looked at Ren Jie suspiciously, "Edge! Are you still sharp? That's it, I don't understand! I don't think you should be like this!"
Mourinho pointed at himself emotionally, "Am I the only one in the world who thinks that we can win at Barcelona?"
Ren Jie was like a bolt from the blue. He was instantly awakened by his coach. Yes, why?
He was also affected by outside voices. What happened to Barcelona? Didn’t Barcelona have eleven people on the field? Are there many of them? Why do we have to lose to them?
Ren Jie took a long breath and said, "Okay, I understand, coach!"
Mourinho saw Ren Jie waking up and patted him on the shoulder. This was the coach's method. Everyone was afraid of playing against Barcelona.
But he can't let the players be afraid. Ren Jie has the quality of not being afraid. He can't let Ren Jie fall into the whirlpool of fear.
But I really didn't expect that Chelsea really became fat. The Celtics scored a goal at the last second to tie Chelsea. Mourinho was so angry that he kicked away the drink boxes on the sidelines.
He told Ren Jie that it was to forgive Ren Jie's heart. Who would have thought that he really didn't win.
After two Champions League games, and they haven't even played Barcelona yet, they have only scored two points. Now their qualifying situation is really very dangerous.
Next, they have to play Barcelona twice. If they lose both times, even if they win the next two games, they will only have a total of eight points.
Eight points is really not enough.
In terms of the league, entering October, they will first face newly promoted Hull City.
After defeating Hull City 2-0, it was very difficult for them to win 2-0. Then Hull City sent a 451 formation. If it weren't for Hazard's personal breakthrough ability, they would have been able to hold on to one point.
After seven rounds of the league, the big6 have all returned to their positions. Chelsea, Tottenham, Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, and Arsenal are ranked in the top six in the league. Leicester City, which created the miracle of the Blue Fox last season, is already ranked seventh. Famous.
In the eighth round, we faced our old club Leicester City in the league!
