Chapter 1129 Excited
The third round officially started on September [-], with Chelsea facing Reading at home.

Reading is a professional football team located in Reading, Berkshire, southeastern England. Founded in 1871, Reading Club is one of the earliest football clubs in the world. Registered as a limited company.

Reading was one of the founders of Group C in the 1957/58 season, but it was relegated 13 years later, that is, 100 years after the club was established. Reading, which fell to Group D, almost needed to be merged with Oxford United. In the following half a century, The team spent 45 years here, interspersed with a lift.Reading, nicknamed "The Biscuit Man" in the early years, was empty at home. The fans were not very enthusiastic about this team backed by a biscuit manufacturer. It has gradually improved in recent years, but the real fans are still there. many.

However, this game was played at Chelsea's home court, so Chelsea fans quickly occupied every corner of the stadium. Anyway, Reading didn't have any fans here to cheer, so everything was just that.

Reading doesn't have any famous players, most of them are second- and third-tier players from various countries. Their formation is also relatively conservative, focusing on defense. After all, they still dare not face a strong team of Chelsea's level in an away game. Made a mistake.

Goalkeeper Federici, back line Gantt, Pierce, Gorkes and Hart, there is only one midfielder Karakan, but the midfield still has four other people to strengthen the midfield competition, namely McCanuf , Leggettwood, Guthrie and McClery, only one striker is Pogrebnyak from Romania.

Compared with their Chelsea lineup, it is much simpler. The returned Terry replaced Luiz. This is also his 550th game for Chelsea, and Lampard also played, but these are small things , What really gave Mourinho a headache was the use of Ai Fan.

In fact, according to his original idea, Ai Huan should have a rotation, because Chelsea will enter the European competition at the beginning of the next game, and the performance of these players will be even more needed at that time, and this team is relatively easy to win. So putting Ai Huan on the bench is a very good choice.

But it is a pity that Ai Huan was replaced at halftime in two consecutive games, and because of this, there were many rumors from the outside world.Mourinho never cared about rumors, he always sneered at these things, but the problem is that these rumors are very influential, even Abramovich himself called to ask about Ai Huan's recent situation, although nothing else It didn't say it was interesting, but it was very obvious, which also made Mourinho feel a little stressed.

If Ai Huan is not used, it will not be good news for the team or the outside world, but if it is used, it will disrupt his plan. After all, he has always felt that Ai Huan has not been well since the end of last season. It's just a few days of rest in the middle, which is not a good thing for any player.

Don't look at Ai Huan's current state, but no one knows when he will suddenly lose his state. This is not impossible. No matter how strong a person is, he is still an individual. As long as he is an individual, his state will definitely fluctuate , and once the cruel war around Christmas comes and Ai Huan is no longer useful, it will be too cruel for me.You must know that all the leagues that Ai Huan played in before had a winter break, but England did not have a winter break. No one knows whether Ai Huan can adapt.

However, he didn't think about this issue for a long time. Anyway, Ai Huan's state is so hot now. If he really doesn't use him, then there will be many unimaginable things, so in the end he decided to use it. Ai Huan, if you make up your mind, there is nothing else to say.

The goalkeeper is still Cech, the defense is still a few people who have performed well recently, Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry and Ashley Cole, midfielder Mikel and Lampard are still as the back. The waist prevents the opponent's attack and organizes his own attack. Ai Huan, Oscar and Hazard form a brand new frontcourt trident. Mata is rested, and he sends Huntelaar who has not appeared for a long time as a striker. The Dutch striker's first start this season has been ten months since his last start. This is also quite embarrassing. Torres also took a rotation.

Ai Huan is in a strange mood today, not because of his opponent Reading, but because today is a special day, because today is the day of the UEFA Super Cup match, last year's Champions League champion Schalke played last year's Europa champion Atletico Madrid, think about this year's Schalke Erke almost sold all of his main lineup, so he can't help but feel sorry for them. Now the eyes of the world are almost focused on this game, but all public opinion is almost one-sidedly optimistic about Atletico Madrid. Everyone knows that they have lost Ai Huan's Schalke will immediately drop several grades, and now they have almost sold a set of main lineup, who can explain what their current strength is?In the recent league, they have a good record of one win and one tie, but the opponents they encountered are very average, and Atletico Madrid is their touchstone.

Fortunately, the two games did not start at the same time, and the other side would start about an hour after the end of the game, so Ai Huan still had time to watch the game, but it was just a look, after all, he was no longer a sandman. I am now a member of Erke, even if I have all my strength, I can't exert my strength.

So now he also regards his opponent as Atletico Madrid, and his whole body has been tense since the morning.Fortunately, he still has Taylor by his side, otherwise, he really wouldn't know where to vent his grievances, but also because Taylor, who had already agreed to come to the home court to watch the game, couldn't come, When he and Taylor called on the phone just before the start of the game, Taylor's voice was still extremely lazy, which made Ai Huan feel a sense of pleasure after a prank.

And he was as excited as Huntelaar and Oscar, both of whom were starting for the first time this season, so they were naturally full of confidence.

Today's Chelsea fans still fill every corner of Stamford Bridge, with blue figures and blue battle flags everywhere, and the fans have been singing their favorite cheering song "That Touch of Blue" " and "The blue battle flag flutters forever", in the singing, the players from both sides lined up to appear on the field, and the game officially started shortly thereafter.
