Chapter 1581 The Third Champion
After this game, many European media began to laugh at Chelsea for their big talk, and some even asserted that such a team is not enough to call it an era, and Mourinho's words are nothing more than nonsense.

Chelsea has always kept a low profile, no one is willing to say a word, but some people broke out that Ai Huan's failure to appear was calculated by others, but Ai Huan and others kept silent about it, and no one published any comments.

A few days have not passed, and Chelsea ushered in the third championship battle of the season, which is the FA Cup in England.

The FA Cup is the oldest competition in the world, almost comparable to the history of modern football.Everyone thinks that this competition is a hotbed of upsets. There have been a lot of weak teams killing strong teams. The cup has become tasteless, and many strong teams don't care much about this kind of game, which is why this game is becoming more and more underestimated.

But in the past three years, Chelsea has reached the finals in a row, and has reached the top twice. Although this is not a huge achievement, it is enough to prove Chelsea's ambitions, and it also makes almost all other teams in the Premier League feel desperate. You don't even leave some soup for us?

No matter what others think, Lecce still successfully reached the final, which also means that they have won the qualification for the UEFA Cup next season, and everyone is happy. After all, everyone knows that Ranieri still needs certification, but This time the confrontation between the two sides was unanimously considered by the outside world to be a one-sided game. The reason is very simple, that is, Chelsea has already killed them twice this season. If the League Cup is added, it will be a triple kill. Chelsea is not willing to let go Lecce has not won any championships, so Lecce actually has no chance.

Wembley Stadium has always been the venue for the FA Cup final. Only when Wembley was refurbished over a decade ago were they forced to move to Cardiff's Millennium Stadium, and when Wembley was refurbished, the FA The cup is back here again.

Since this stadium is in London, Chelsea fans still occupy most of the stadium.

In this game, Lecce is still in a 4-3-3 formation. The goalkeeper is still Schmeichel, the back line is Simpson, Zhang Lindong, Morgan and Fox, and the frontcourt three are Delin Cowart, Kanter and Alb. Leighton, striker trident Mahrez, Dongfang Zhuo and Vardy.

Recently this team has been in the limelight and is known as the strong killer, and many players in their team have been targeted by strong teams. This is also a situation that no one can do, so now Lecce is almost a game One less game, because no one can guarantee whether this team will be able to keep these people in this team next season.

Among them, Zhang Lindong, Kanter, Mahrez, Dongfang Zhuo and Vardy have all been hooked up with some strong teams, and there are even rumors that several of them have initialed agreements with other clubs. It's hard to say.

Mourinho made a bold change for this game. He put De Bruyne in the midfielder position. In fact, this is not the first time De Bruyne has played this position, but it is It is the first time to start this position. It can also be seen from this that Mourinho also hopes to change the position of individual players. If he can turn them into the kind of person he wants, maybe he will have a better understanding of future games. There are many options and methods.

In the 8th minute, Drogba shot from a small angle in the penalty area and was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper. Oscar in the middle faced an empty goal, but before he could shoot, he was directly tackled by Kanter who squeezed up from behind to make up for it.
