Chapter 1247
Although the outside world is going crazy about this challenge, UFC has remained silent. After all, they have never experienced such an event, and no one knows whether it can be approved.

But whatever they were thinking, the Chelsea game went on.In the Christmas game, Ai Huan led Chelsea to sweep Aston Villa with a 26-[-] record, causing the Premier League to fall into silence again, but two days later they immediately ushered in their next opponent, on December [-] in Carlo Chelsea host tenth-placed Norwich at the Road Stadium.

Chelsea has an overwhelming advantage of six wins and one draw. Indiscriminate massacre.

Goalkeeper Boone, defenders Martin, Turner, Bassoon and Garrido, midfielder Snow's Glass, Pilkington, Johnson, Tetti and Hulahan, and the striker only has Holt.

However, Chelsea still made a formation rotation. What's interesting is that this time Ai Huan was placed on the bench, but many people know that this is just a trick of Mourinho. Ai Huan will be sent to the field immediately.

The goalkeeper is still Cech. Although this general has played almost continuously, but fortunately, Chelsea's recent opponents are average, so there is no big test for Cech.The defense Azpilicueta was actually placed at the left back. He replaced Ashley Cole, and Ivanovic once again returned to his familiar right back position. The center back Cahill And Luiz once again formed the central back line.

Terry has recovered some time ago, many people think that he will come back in the near future, but who knows that in a training match a few days ago, Terry sprained his ankle again, this time he will start again vacation.The midfielder Lampard and Mikel, who was finally suspended, partnered. This is also a combination that Mourinho has been looking forward to. The front trident Oscar is in the middle, and Mata and Hazard are on the left and right. The striker is still Huntelaar. The Dutchman has performed well recently and has already grasped the main position.

Although Chelsea wanted to launch an attack after the game started, it felt like something was almost there. In the 5th minute, Snodgrass shoveled Oscar with both feet off the ground. The referee only gave a verbal warning, and Lan Pad's free-kick was also less of a threat.

The two sides have been stuck in a stalemate since then, and have not been able to create scoring opportunities. Norwich kept fouling in midfield to stop Chelsea's advance. This method seems to have worked well.

In the No. 308 minute, Chelsea finally broke the deadlock first. Mata received a pass from Oscar in the frontcourt, and suddenly volleyed with his left foot from the top of the penalty area. The Norwich goalkeeper missed the save and Chelsea led [-]-[-].

It was not until the No.401 minute that Norwich finally had its first effective attack. Norwich took a corner kick on the right, and Johnson hit the goal with a forward and backward kick over the crossbar. After that, there was nothing else in the first half of the game. Highlights.

During the intermission, Mourinho was not as angry as he imagined. He just had a relaxed and pleasant chat with the people around him, and he didn't immediately change to Ai Huan, but just kept this lineup and continued the game.

No. 408 minutes, Oscar took a free kick from the left, and no one touched the ball and flew straight to the goal. Fortunately, Norwich goalkeeper Boone focused and blocked the ball out of the baseline.

In 3 minutes, Norwich made a quick counterattack in the frontcourt. Holt received a pass from his teammate and made a single-handed shot, but was offside first.

In 5 minutes, Chelsea got another free kick in the frontcourt. Mata took advantage of the opponent's goalkeeper to set up a wall and shot suddenly, but Boone still reacted quickly and saved the ball.

Mourinho finally couldn't sit still anymore. He told Rui who was beside him, and then he stood up and walked to Ai Huan's side, "Get ready to play."

Ai Huan, who had just finished jogging on the sidelines, nodded, stood up and took off his thick coat, then took the prepared jersey from the assistant coach, and changed into his training clothes. His actions on the sidelines It immediately caused a commotion among the Norwich fans. In fact, everyone came to see Ai Huan. Now that he is finally able to play, it is inevitable that there will be such a commotion.

"After you play, you still have to pay attention to the sidelines, don't get entangled with them in the midfield, and pass the ball quickly if you can pass it quickly." Mourinho said simply, and he has been strengthening his training in this area recently. It made many people in the Chelsea team wonder why Mourinho started his new style of play in the middle of the season, but given his influence in the team, no one dared to raise objections.

The person replaced by Ai Huan was still Hazard, as if he had expected it, Hazard had already been walking off the field, but when he saw his number appearing on the sign, he still looked Very angry, he didn't have any form of communication with Ai Huan at all, so he went straight down, and didn't even pick up the coat handed over by the assistant coach.

Mourinho had already seen everything in his eyes, but he still didn't react at all. He turned around and didn't even look at Hazard, and someone immediately recorded this moment with a camera, and who I didn't expect that this was the last time that they appeared in a photo in this form.
