There was actually only one football club in the Premier League throughout the 1990s, and that was Manchester United.
From the 1992 to 1997 seasons, Manchester United, who were in Class 92, won four Premier League championship trophies in five seasons. The only season they finished second was only one point behind their opponents.
However, since a man named Wenger joined the Premier League from Japan, Manchester United's dominance has been broken.
Arsenal under Wenger not only snatched the double crown from the powerful Manchester United in 1998, broke Manchester United's dream of four consecutive championships in 2001, and then created an unprecedented undefeated championship season in 2004. .
Starting in 1998, the Premier League entered a six-year era of two heroes. However, as football developed more and more rapidly, capital began to intervene.
After Abramovich took over Chelsea in 2003, he spent a lot of money to buy people and hired the Champions League champion coach Mourinho. Last season, he won 29 games, drew eight and lost one, and won the Premier League championship with a record 95 points.
Since then, the Premier League has become a three-legged structure, and now, the first round of the new season is Arsenal versus Chelsea!
On one side is Chelsea, who won the Premier League title with a record 95 points last season and advocate defensive counterattacks.
On one side is Arsenal, who ranked third in the Premier League last season but won the Champions League and advocates offensive football!
The strongest spear and the strongest shield!
Even though there are still several days until the game starts, this matchup still affects the emotions of countless fans. In addition, although the Premier League is relatively exclusive, it is a business league after all, and making money is the first priority.
They also keenly grasped that this was a huge promotion opportunity, especially since behind Chen Mo stood the huge Dragon Kingdom, Argentina, and Japanese markets!
Japan is a small country, but it has a population of 120 million. Although Argentina is wider, its population is actually less than 50 million!
As a result, an overwhelming propaganda campaign soon swept across Europe and spread to Asia and South America!
[Mars hits the Earth! Can the rebuilt Arsenal defend their Champions League glory? ! 】
[Ms. Kate, the heroine of Titanic, made a bet. If Chen Mo’s post-game rating could not reach seven points, she would kiss the donkey’s butt lightly on the show! 】
[He Wei, a famous football commentator from Longguo, was interviewed: I am an Arsenal fan, but to be honest, Arsenal ran into Chelsea in the first round of the Premier League. This schedule is still a bit too cruel for Arsenal.
Obviously, whether it is Mascherano or Di Maria, or Chiellini and Bale, they are all very talented players, but it is not easy to adapt to the Premier League. There have been so many mature stars. Players will be acclimatized after moving to the Premier League and it will take time to adjust.
As far as I know, the only player under the age of 20 who can immediately perform at a phenomenal level as soon as he lands in the Premier League is Chen Mo. However, Chen Mo’s level of talent, whether it is skills or mental maturity, may take ten years or two. It takes ten, or even fifty years to encounter one, so I just hope Arsenal can withstand the pressure in this game. 】
[Japanese football legend Hidetoshi Nakata: Hay, yes, I believe every midfielder will be attracted by Mr. Chen Mo’s terrifying creativity and super smooth organizational skills, and I am no exception. After the Champions League, I repeatedly watched Mr. Chen Mo’s instep through ball, well, but in the end I gave up, haha.
No matter how you practice that kind of weird and beautiful arc, it is difficult to achieve stability. Moreover, there is another important reason why Mr. Chen Mo's kick was repeatedly publicized by the news media after the game. It was the Champions League final!
Just standing up will face huge pressure, and Arsenal was still lagging behind at the time. At that critical moment, Mr. Chen Mo dared to make such an amazing move, which made me sincerely admire him.
As for my views on Arsenal's first game of the season, as I just said, I am a fan of Mr. Chen Mo, but I still think this game will be very, very difficult for Arsenal.
Not only because Arsenal are rebuilding, but also because their shortcomings happen to be Chelsea's strengths. Chelsea will fly on both sides when counterattacking, especially Robben. If you have watched his game, you will know his The lethality is terrifying.
If Chelsea puts Robben on the right in this game and lets him face Bale, Arsenal will be very, very passive. 】
As the competition day approaches, the publicity campaign from the outside world becomes more and more intense. Various celebrities will be interviewed every day, and even some big stars will be interviewed across borders.
In such an atmosphere of great anticipation, soon the time came for the game day.
.
August 14, 2005, Stamford Bridge Stadium, Fulham District, London.
As an ancient stadium built in 1877 and opened in 1905, Stamford Bridge has been standing in London for a hundred years.
Speaking of the origin of this stadium, it is also legendary. In the early years, the owner of this stadium, Mr. Henry Mills, bought Stamford Bridge with the intention of renting it to Fulham. However, Fulham did not rent it because they thought the rent was too high. Ever since, Mr. Mills chose to set up a football club by himself after seeing a friend, and then Chelsea was born.
Stamford Bridge is Chelsea, and Chelsea is also Stamford Bridge. No Chelsea fan wants to see Chelsea defeated at Stamford Bridge.
"Be glad this is not Highbury! Otherwise you will suffer a big defeat on your own turf!"
"When you come here next time, your legs will tremble with fear! Poor Arsenal!"
"Strangle Chen Mo! He will be completely strangled by our invincible three midfielders!!!"
"Ugly upstarts!!! The Gunners will never lose to you!"
"Just wait and see! Xiao Mo will destroy you!"
"Cole! You traitor!!!"
"Tony, the atmosphere here today is really lively. I can feel the ground shaking when I stand here. Oh, I swear, if this game happens a few more times, Stamford Bridge might have to be renovated, haha. !”
In the corner of the stadium stands, Jack in the commentary box was very excited. Tony next to him picked up the microphone and made a weird look like he was listening: "What? What are you talking about? I can't hear it - haha, okay, the little joke ends here. , welcome everyone to the live broadcast room, I am the commentator Tony."
"Hello everyone, I'm Old Jack! The next game in the first round of the Premier League between 2005 and 2006, the opening game between Arsenal and Chelsea, will be brought to you by the two of us! Oh, to be honest, Tony, how I wish that now The person sitting next to me is not you, but Miss Kate.”
"Haha, you bad guy, do you really want to see a beautiful woman kissing a donkey's butt?"
"Oh? What you mean is that you don't expect Arsenal to win this game?"
"Well, actually, whether Arsenal wins or loses, I, as a Manchester City fan, don't have much feeling, but to be honest, their pre-season performance was really not good.
OK OK, I know there are many outside media saying that Arsenal's performance on the offensive end is still stable, but their preseason opponent is not Chelsea. In my opinion, it is not an exaggeration to say that Chelsea is the best in the world on the defensive end. , look at their lineup.
The left back is Ashley Cole, Arsenal's hero last season. His role on both ends of the offense and defense is much greater than that of Gallas last season, and he is facing off against him in this game, the Argentine teenager Di Maria. Only seventeen years old, I don't think he can perform well against Cole, the world's number one left back.
The center back combination is still Terry and Carvalho. In Arsenal's game against Chelsea last season, neither of them made a single mistake. Therefore, the only relatively weak player in Chelsea's defense is right back Ferreira. .
It would be difficult for Ferreira to contain Henry, but because Di Maria cannot attack Ashley Cole alone, Chelsea can tilt the entire defense towards Henry's side.
After talking about the defenders, let’s look at the midfielders. A big reason why Arsenal was able to break through Chelsea’s midfield last season was that Chelsea’s midfielder at that time was Makelele, Galampa, Thiago, and Thiago was a technical player. In the midfield, he couldn't guard Chen Mo at all and was directly beaten into a breakthrough. But now they replaced Thiago with Ballack, who is 1.89 meters tall and has good defensive ability.
Moreover, Arsenal also lost Vieira, and Mascherano's offensive ability is obviously much worse than Vieira. In this case, I think it will be difficult for Arsenal to break through Chelsea from the midfield. As for Arsenal's defense. The average age of the defense is 22 years old. When facing the strikers of Duff, Drogba and Robben, I just think Can say good luck to Arsenal. "
"Oops, it seems that Tony has indeed carefully studied the personnel configuration of both sides. Okay, now the two teams have flipped a coin to determine the right to choose sides. Arsenal players, attack from left to right, that's right!
I would also like to remind all viewers that this game is also the first time that Chen Mo wears Arsenal's number 10 and represents the first game for Arsenal as captain! alright! A wonderful contest is about to begin, let us show the camera to the players on the field! "
