It's cheating, but Hazard

Chapter 279: Charles takes over Stamford Bridge (I)

Ancelotti was also in great trouble.

Charles sat aside and stared at Ancelotti.

Ancelotti: o_0
Ciel: (ω`)?
Finally, Ancelotti sighed, "Stoke City is not easy to deal with, and Pulis is also a very aggressive coach."

"In the game against Arsenal last season, Stoke City broke Ramsey's leg with a tackle."

"Although this is related to the fact that Pulis hates Wenger's playing style, which is his rough defensive philosophy that makes the ball pass the opponent..."

"So, I was wondering, why don't you just wait until September?"

Ciel scratched his head, "Does he hate you, then, Coach?"

Ancelotti almost laughed out of anger.

"What do you think?"

"I don't think anyone would hate the coach, so let me play in the next game. I am still very capable of confrontation."

Charles said.

He had poor confrontational ability during his time at Barcelona, ​​so what does that have to do with him now?
Unable to adapt to the intensity of the Premier League?
He also wanted to see whether it was the defenders who gave him the pressure or he gave the defenders the pressure.

What else could Ancelotti say but to agree.

Soon, Chelsea's official website announced that Charles would make his Premier League debut ahead of schedule.

Instantly, all the media that were paying attention to Chelsea's official website forwarded the news. In less than ten minutes, basically the whole of Britain knew the news.

Chelsea's home game tickets, which had originally had mediocre sales, were sold out in an instant.

Fans who failed to get tickets even offered high prices to buy scalper tickets.

The seats originally reserved for Chelsea's media seats were extremely scarce in the face of the crazy number of media and could not accommodate everyone.

The phones at Chelsea's media office were ringing off the hook.

All the media that have cooperated with us before wanted a precious media ticket.

Even though Chelsea has been reducing the number of media tickets for each media outlet, there are still many media outlets that cannot get tickets.

After more than an hour, the number of calls to the office finally decreased.

Bob quickly took a sip of water to moisten his throat.

He almost lost his voice from answering the phone just now.

"It's crazy, it's absolutely crazy. I didn't know that the media from South America and North America have been stationed in Chelsea and have never gone back."

"Never mind the Spanish, French, Italian and German media."

"The scariest thing is the reporter from The Sun. I wonder if they live in the manhole cover in front of our training base."

Yunus turned around and said, "We don't have enough media tickets for all the big media outlets that want to attend. There are also many small and medium-sized media outlets that keep calling us."

"I think even if we urgently put a transparent glass cover on Stamford Bridge, there will be media willing to lie on it."

Tony Pulis paced around the office anxiously.

He never expected that Ancelotti said one thing in front of him and another behind his back, and that it was targeting him.

It was previously vowed that Charles would never play early and his starting time would be saved for September.

Now, it’s not even September yet, but Chelsea has already impatiently announced that Charles’ Premier League debut will be in the third round of the league.

What virtue does Stoke City have?

Wouldn’t it be better to leave the debut of such a great player to West Ham United?
"Tony, the information you need is ready."

The teaching assistant knocked on the door and walked in.

Priss stopped and took the information handed to him by the assistant.

This is the historical sports data of Charles that he requested.

After taking a few quick glances, Priss had a clear idea in his mind.

"Okay, I'll arrange targeted training later."

The assistant coach was a little embarrassed. Of course, he could hear the hidden meaning behind Priss's words.

"Tony, you don't think our players can really defend against Ciel, do you? This is something no defender has ever done before."

"He has just arrived in the Premier League. As his first team, we must give him a warm reception and let him know that the intensity of the Premier League is not something that a glass man like him can easily withstand."

Priss said with a smile.

……

Yunus's words are not without reason, because many media reporters who were unable to book tickets have begun to shift their targets and are waiting in front of the Stoke City training base, which was originally quite deserted.

Shaw Cross had just finished a day's training and was about to drive home. He had seen a lot of big scenes, but he was still shocked to see the entire road surrounded by reporters.

Could it be that Ramsey's injury has worsened?
Shorrocks unconsciously slowed down the car, and soon the media gathered on both sides of the road, armed with cameras and long guns, swarmed over like vultures seeing food.

"Ryan, Charles will start in the third round of the league against Stoke City. As the main defender, what do you think?"

Shawcross rolled down the car window.

"I don't have any ideas."

The media with their cameras and microphones don't want to hear only this answer.

It was another reporter who asked questions and quickly pushed the previous reporter aside.

"Will you defend Charles the same way you defended Ramsey last season? Or do you think you can defend Charles?"

Shawcross just laughed out loud.

"Charles? I admit that he is a very good football player, but as a player who is often injured in La Liga, I think it will be difficult for him to adapt to the intensity of the Premier League."

"I have also read the comments of many famous players and commentators, and there is one point of view that I still agree with very much."

"Joining the Premier League may seem like the right move, but it will ruin his future career."

The media, which was already very enthusiastic, became even more excited after hearing such words, like a shark smelling blood.

They don't care how outrageous the comments of someone whose net worth is not even a fraction of Charles' are. What they want is all kinds of explosive news.

"As a central defender for Stoke City, do you think you can completely block Charles?"

"I'm already studying the opponents for the fourth round of the league."

The reporter couldn't stop laughing.

In other words, he was not selected for the England national team, otherwise he could have changed his sentence to mean that he was already studying the opponents in the European Cup qualifiers.

"How do you do this that no other defender can do?"

The reporter continued to ask.

"This is the difference brought about by the different league styles. He can get the world's number one value because he is invincible in La Liga, but the intensity of the Premier League is far from comparable to La Liga."

"It's normal for our Premier League defenders to be able to defend him in such a fierce confrontation."

"So Charles' joining did not improve Chelsea's strength, but instead became Chelsea's weakness, right?"

"There is a saying that goes, the strongest is also the weakest. He does seem to be a big trump card for Chelsea now, but it can easily become a weakness."

The reporter was thoughtful.

The other media surrounding him did not just stand there and watch.

Instead, start writing your press release directly.

Stoke City player says he will make Charles regret joining the Premier League

"Premier League players still believe that La Liga is not the best league in the world, and the best La Liga players cannot compete with Premier League defenders"

"Will Charr repeat the Ramsey crisis in his debut?"

Reporters from all over the world were very satisfied with today's interview.

Did they misrepresent anything Shorrock said?
No, they just learned journalism very well and put it into practice, making some artistic processing on these speeches.

The next morning, Charles arrived at Chelsea's training base and began to prepare for breakfast.

He discovered that it seemed that top coaches liked to have breakfast with their players.

Although there is no gourmet food in the UK, there are a few British dishes in Chelsea restaurants, so the breakfast is quite delicious.

He had just walked to his seat with his plate when Malouda came over. "Have you seen the interview with Shawcross? He's really too arrogant. He hasn't played a minute for the national team yet and his net worth is less than a fraction of yours, but he's already started to make big claims."

Charles swallowed the mashed potatoes carelessly. He had been trying to learn English in the evenings recently and had hardly any time to read the newspaper.

"What interview? I don't know."

Lampard also sat over and said, "He is just bragging to attract attention, don't take it to heart."

Drogba shook his head and disagreed, "There is still one thing to note. He tackled Ramsey last season, although he didn't do it on purpose."

"I don't think he would dare to do that now," Malouda said disdainfully.

Now that the Premier League’s position as the top league is no longer secure, even he knows that with Charles around, the Premier League’s revenue and influence will increase, which will also indirectly increase the income of other clubs and players.

At 2:00 pm, after lunch, the entire Chelsea team went directly to Stamford Bridge.

Logically speaking, normal league matches do not require starting so early.

But today is special, as there will be a ceremony for Charles to appear before the game starts.

After changing his jersey in the home locker room, Charles waited in the player tunnel.

Neymar, Ramirez, Dragic, Benayoun and Callas, the five new signings this season, have already appeared in the debut ceremony of the first round of the league, so this game can be regarded as a special game for Charr.

This time, Abu replaced the original host and stood in the middle of the makeshift stage.

"This summer, I bring back the most legendary No. 7 for you. Charles is ready, how about you?"

In an instant, Stamford Bridge erupted like a volcano.

"Ciel——"

"Ciel——"

"Ciel——"

Amid the cheers of the crowd, Charles lowered his head and trotted out of the player tunnel, running towards the center stage to the Chelsea team song.

The fireworks set up along the way as he ran also exploded at the same time.

Today's Stamford Bridge was packed with people. The blue sky was rarely covered by dark clouds. Charles stood in the center of the stage with his arms open and looked around the audience.

After looking around, Charles took the microphone from Abu with a smile.

"Thank you so much Chelsea for letting me join us this summer to help us win the Champions League!"

As soon as Charles finished speaking, the cheers from the audience once again sounded like a landslide and the sea boiling.

"The unknown is scary, but let's work together to create the most beautiful and fantastic Chelsea miracle, okay?"

"it is good--"

Even Abu, who was standing aside, couldn't help but clap his hands and say yes.

Then, Charles took the ball thrown by Ancelotti, bounced it several times, and finally held the ball in his arms.

"After I yell Chelsea! Chelsea! Chelsea! three times, let's yell Keep the Blue Flag Flying High together, okay?"

"it is good--"

"Chelsea!"

"Chelsea!"

"Chelsea!"

After Charles' three shouts, all the Chelsea fans in the stadium went crazy, and tens of thousands of them shouted together:
“Keep the Blue Flag Flying High——”

Charles slowly put down the microphone, but the blue flags waving in the stands did not stop, and the cheers in the stands did not stop.

Soon, after the initial discord, another unexpected singing voice quickly spread from one person's mouth to 10 people, 100 people and finally to tens of thousands of people.

"Hey Charles, don't hesitate
"With the sea breeze, the answer echoes in the questioner's ear..."

Not everyone has a heavenly voice. Some people's throats have been kissed by angels, but some people's throats may have been gnawed by huskies.

But this song that originated from the Club World Cup and spread to the Premier League along with Charles' goals and transfers, and after being poured with Chelsea's full emotions, it was obviously a melodious tune, but against the backdrop of the chorus of thousands of people, it became shocking.

"hey Charles, our dream-keeper
“Make Stamford Bridge better!”

As the last sentence ended, all Chelsea fans smiled knowingly, and many fans even shed tears of excitement.

At this moment, their joy was unmatched by anyone except the Chelsea fans at the scene.

“In the end, with the blue that never fades, let us create the future and miracles together!”

The Chelsea fans, who were already emotional, were ignited again.

This time, they could not say anything except shouting Charles' name madly in the middle of the stadium.

"Ciel——"

"Ciel——"

"Ciel——"

The fireworks at Chelsea Live have already gone off.

But the vibrant blue on the scene was even more dazzling than the opening fireworks.

After the debut ceremony, Charles returned to the locker room.

Neymar looked over with envy, "It's crazy, the songs I heard in the locker room are clearer than those on TV."

"And this song, they made one for you before you even debuted."

Ramirez couldn't help but laugh.

"Yes, this is not a new story. It already existed when he was in La Liga."

Torres nodded. "I didn't notice it when I was watching the Club World Cup. I saw it later when I read the reports."

Charles sat in his seat and also said with a smile, "You will also have fans composing songs for you."

Neymar looked up at the turned-off TV screen again, and his face was reflected on it.

“I hope there will be such a day.”

……

"Zhuangdianertai, Zhuangdianertai, you are watching the third round of the 2010-11 English Premier League, where the defending champion Chelsea plays against Stoke City at home."

"Chelsea have won all of the last six meetings between the two teams in various competitions. Chelsea have won all four meetings between the two teams in the Premier League."

"The last time Stoke City beat Chelsea was in the 1995/96 season, winning 1-0 away in the League Cup."

"In the league, Stoke City's last win over Chelsea was in the 1974/75 season, a 3-0 home win."

"Chelsea beat Stoke City 7-0 at home last season."

“Although the gap between the two sides is a bit big, the focus of today’s game is more on the Premier League debut performance of Chelsea’s new signing this season, the first billionaire in football.”

"Before the game, Stoke City defender Shawcross said that Charles could not adapt to the Premier League. He could also complete a task that other defenders had not completed: defending Charles."

"In addition, he also mentioned the difference between the Premier League and La Liga. Indeed, compared with La Liga, or any other league, the top teams in the Premier League can play seven different competitions in a season, and there is also a Christmas Express and no winter break."

"In addition to the more intensive schedule, the physical intensity of the Premier League is more intense than that of La Liga."

"In many ways, this is not only a test of Ciel's physical fitness, but also a test of his resistance to injuries and physical confrontation."

"He has won two Champions League titles in the past two years, but now the Premier League is crowded and it is more difficult to win a title, as can be seen from the fact that Chelsea has not won a Champions League title yet."

"If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight."

"As the most expensive player in world football today, everyone's expectations of him are higher than other players."

"If the expectation for other players is to score goals, then everyone expects Charles, in addition to scoring goals, to lead the team to victory."

"So this is a very severe test for the Shire."

"Anything that is less than perfect will attract a lot of criticism."

"Okay, let me introduce the lineups of both teams:"

“切尔西(4-3-3)：1-切赫/19-费雷拉、33-阿莱士、26-特里、3-阿什利·科尔/5-埃辛、12-米克尔、8-兰帕德/15-马卢达、11-德罗巴、7-夏尔。”

“斯托克城(4-4-2)：29-索伦森/4-胡特、25-阿卜杜拉耶·法耶、17-肖克洛斯、5-柯林斯/24-德拉普、28-威尔金森、18-怀特黑德、26-埃瑟林顿/9-琼斯、19-沃尔特斯。”
