Chapter 418 He must have traveled from the future!(2/2)

height.

"The Times pointed out that if there is really no team to stop Chelsea, AC Milan's 58-game unbeaten record will soon be unstoppable.

What then?

Then Chelsea will continue the longest unbeaten record in the five major leagues...

For Pan Yi, there is another happy thing this week.

That was also on November 21, a key battle in the 18th round of the English League Two.

Lyton Orient vs York City at home!

York City fought back from a two-goal deficit and completed the reversal by winning three goals in a row.

After this round, the number one team in League Two has become Plymouth. They jumped up with 12 wins, 2 draws, 4 losses and 38 points.

In second place is York City, with 37 points.

The third place is Oxford United with 36 points, followed by Northampton with 34 points and Accrington with 32 points.

Leighton Orient, which has been at the top of League Two at the start of the season, is in a bit of a slump. It is now ranked eighth with only 27 points.

This is also in line with what Pan Yi said to Scaloni before. The English League B is fiercely competitive, but there is no absolute leading team, so anything can happen during the long season.

No, York City has already squeezed into second place.

As long as we can guarantee the top three positions, we can go to League One next season!

On November 25, Chelsea challenged Wolfsburg away. This was the fifth round of the Champions League group stage.

For Wolfsburg, this is a key battle that can determine whether they qualify, but for Chelsea, who have already won the first place in the group, it is just a warm-up match.

Pan Yi sent out most of his rotation players to deal with the Germans, but still achieved a 2:0 victory.

In the 34th minute, Moses succeeded with an inward shot after a side attack, and in the 67th minute, Christensen scored with a header.

There is no way, Pan Yi doesn’t want to kill Wolfsburg or anything, but their strength does not allow them to lose!

After returning to the UK from Germany, Chelsea ushered in the 14th round of the Premier League and went to an away game to challenge Tottenham.

Pochettino's team is actually in pretty good shape this season and has only lost one game so far.

But they are only ranked 6th in the standings. The reason is that the front line is a bit weak, there are too few goals and too many draws.

6 wins, 6 draws and 1 loss, scoring 19 goals and conceding 11 goals, this is the report card they handed over after 13 rounds.

It can be said that the introduction of Alderweireld and Trippier will greatly improve Tottenham's defense;

But the departure of Harry Kane is fatal, and the arrival of Son Xingmin cannot completely make up for the lack of the British Emperor Star.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Tottenham is facing a serious forward crisis.

Pochettino was very pragmatic when facing Chelsea. He knew that his team was defensively strong and offensively weak, so he used his strengths to avoid weaknesses and put on a defensive counterattack posture.

This resulted in Tottenham still holding on to a draw despite facing Chelsea's onslaught of attacks at home.

0:0, both sides shook hands and made peace.

Harry Kane returned to White Hart Lane for the first time after the transfer, but it did not cause too many boos. Perhaps the one Tottenham fans hate more is Levy!

But Harry Kane also did not perform very well in this game. One close shot failed to break through Lori's fingers, which ultimately contributed to the goalless draw.

This is also Chelsea’s second draw this season!

Three days later, the League Cup quarter-finals knockout rounds.

Chelsea had just finished playing Tottenham and immediately faced the challenge of Sheffield Wednesday.

Faced with this British Championship team that only advanced after a 3-0 victory over Arsenal, Pan Yi did not dare to look down upon it.

He fielded a lineup dominated by key players.

As a result, the two teams showed a clear gap in strength during the game.

Chelsea scored three goals in the first half, and then took advantage of the victory to score two goals in the second half. Finally, they eliminated their opponents 5:0 and easily entered the League Cup semi-finals!

In the other three quarter-finals, Everton defeated Middlesbrough 2:0 away from home, Manchester City defeated Hull City 4:1 at home, and Liverpool swept "fellow country" Southampton 6:1.

As a result, the four teams participating in the League Cup semi-finals are all composed of Premier League teams.

The result of the draw is either good or bad for Chelsea.

Because they did not draw the strongest Manchester City, nor did they draw the weakest Everton, but they drew Liverpool.

They will have two rounds of knockout rounds on January 6 and January 27, and the winner will advance to Wembley Stadium for the final!

And this will also be another showdown between Pan Yi and Klopp.

After the League Cup semi-final draw, the Premier League ushered in the 15th round.

Chelsea faced Bournemouth at home, and Pan Yi also welcomed his old friend Eddie Howe.

Perhaps inspired by Tottenham's draw with Chelsea, Eddie Howe was very defensive at Stamford Bridge this time and actually adopted a tactic of five defenders and three midfielders.

But even this iron-barrel formation, due to the real gap in player ability, only lasted for thirty minutes. Then Harry Kane's goal completely shattered Bournemouth's confidence and determination to draw with Chelsea.

.

After a change of sides in the second half, Lukaku, Hazard, and Kante scored one after another, helping Chelsea defeat Bournemouth 4:0 and win another hearty victory.

Three days later, Chelsea still sat at home to face their last opponent in the Champions League group stage, Porto.

Since Porto defeated Lyon in the last round, they surpassed Wolfsburg and Lyon with 5 points and ranked second in the group.

The other two opponents have a total of 4 points and will face off in this round.

Then, if Porto can defeat Chelsea at home, they will definitely win the right to qualify from the group;

But if they lose or draw, they can only hope that the other game will be a draw, so that they can still suppress their opponents with a goal difference advantage.

It's just that the initiative is handed over to others.

Besides, for Wolfsburg and Lyon, their situation is very simple, that is, whoever wins will qualify - because Porto has a high probability of not beating Chelsea.

So it will be a fight to the death, and the outcome is a high probability event.

Therefore, even though Porto was playing away from home today, they still played very hard and launched a crazy attack towards Chelsea's hinterland, thinking that they could take advantage of Chelsea's rotating lineup to get an upset.

But in the first half, Mbappe's quick counterattack helped Abraham score a goal.

After changing sides in the second half, the tense Porto defense made another mistake. Chelsea seized the opportunity. Loftus-Cheek stepped in to receive Lingard's through ball to expand the score.

After that, the two sides failed to score again.

2:0, Chelsea defeated Porto again and completed the group stage journey with a victory in six games.

This record is just as Pan Yi expected, not favoring any opponent!

It is this kind of "non-partiality" that gives Wolfsburg the opportunity to qualify.

They narrowly defeated Lyon 2:1 in the final decisive battle, and Pan Yi's old player Xuerle scored twice!

Therefore, the final ranking of Group G is that Chelsea is first with 18 points, Wolfsburg is second with 7 points, Porto is third with 5 points, and Lyon is fourth with 4 points.

Chelsea and Wolfsburg qualify together!

The games of other groups have also ended, and basically there are no big surprises.

Group A qualified with Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain;

Group B is Manchester United and PSV;

Group C is Atletico Madrid and Benfica;

Group D is Manchester City and Juventus;

Group E is Barcelona and Roma;

The group is Bayern Munich and Arsenal; it is worth mentioning that Arsenal, who was originally at the bottom of the group, really won the last two rounds, beating Olympiacos and Dinamo Zagreb to qualify.

Group G is Chelsea and Wolfsburg;

The group is Zenit St. Petersburg and Gent.

After the group stage, we have to prepare to enter the top 16 showdown.

The draw ceremony for the top 16 knockout rounds of this season will be later, and will be held on December 27 after Christmas.

Before that, Chelsea will have to go away to play against Leicester City in the 16th round of the Premier League.

This will be the battle between the No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the Premier League!

And this is also the beginning of Chelsea's busy schedule.

After playing against Leicester City, the team will leave for Japan to participate in the 2015 Club World Cup.
Chapter completed!
