Chapter 106 The Premier League Years Big List, Inner Ghost?

"Welcome Andre. I hope everyone will work together to win the next game. At the end of this season, I hope there will be some happy memories."

Terry's words were originally a routine to welcome newcomers, but Kalu's attitude towards Xiangnan just now, everyone is a discerning person, so this sentence is worth pondering.

However, when Terry said this, no one dared to refute. Drogba opened his mouth, wanting to defend something for his compatriots, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say anything.

Terry's status in Chelsea's dressing room is unshakable, and the outside world has been rumoring that the reason why Mourinho left Stamford Bridge is said to be because of the feud between the magic bird and the Chelsea captain.

Although this statement was flatly denied by Terry's agent, it also reflected Terry's unshakable position at Stamford Bridge from one aspect.

In the weekend's Premier League game, Chelsea will face Liverpool's challenge at home, which is also the highlight of this round.

However, Xiang Nan doesn't know whether he will play in this game, and, now, this issue is not what he has to consider——
Chelsea's whole team is doing joint training. Xiang Nan did not participate in the joint training because of his injury. He was asked to do strength training indoors.

After receiving this notice, Xiang Nan was preparing to participate in the joint training on the side of the court. Without the slightest hesitation, Xiang Nan immediately followed the team doctor, Mr. Bryan English, to the weight room. He knew that This is the scientific conclusion drawn by the club's team doctor after careful analysis. He must follow the team doctor's request unless he wants to get injured again! !
Xiang Nan's attitude also satisfied Grant on the sidelines, "It seems that he is not a troublemaker..."

Uh... God testifies, if Mr. Grant is lucky enough to visit the Walloon region of Belgium, the residents of the Walloon region will proudly tell him that there is a boy named 'Andre' who lived in the Walloon region when he was a child. How famous! !

Now, the housewives in the Walloon region are beginning to turn a blind eye to the naughtiness of their children, because they firmly believe that:

The more naughty the child is, the more promising he is, or to put it simply, he can become a football star! !
Ugh...God bless the kids of Walloon...

However, not everyone has such a good impression of Xiang Nan——
Looking at the back of Xiang Nan obediently walking towards the weight room, Kalu spit on the turf, 'Coward! ! '

Kalu's best friend in the team is his forward partner and fellow Drogba. The 'Warcraft' dude also looked at Xiang Nan's back, and didn't express any opinion on Kalu's words.

*******
Strength training refers to training indoors using various sports equipment to improve the body's ability to resist.

Chelsea's medical laboratory was established according to the model of the Milan laboratory. It has not been long since it was established. Based on Xiangnan's system and recovery from injuries, they have drawn up a detailed training plan for Xiangnan. The most important thing is body strength and confrontation exercises.

Even after Xiang Nan can participate in the team training, Xiang Nan must follow this training plan and come to the weight room to practice alone!
Xiang Nan also practiced physical strength when he was in Turin, but compared with the current one, it is incomparable. After all, Turin is a small club and does not have such good conditions as Chelsea.

According to Xiang Nan's body structure, Chelsea's team doctor also referred to the opinions of the club's psychiatrist on the physical and psychological structure of Orientals, and arranged another recipe for Xiang Nan. In the future, Xiang Nan's diet The structure must fully respect this recipe. The purpose of the club is to train the southward system to a rhythm and style of play that is more suitable for the Premier League in the shortest possible time.

After the initial strength training, the team doctor Brian found that the previous estimate of Xiangnan's strength was a bit off——
The benefits of Xiang Nan's hard training since he was a child were revealed at this time. It can be said that the two previous injuries to Xiang Nan were mainly due to the fact that the potential danger of his ankle was not discovered and taken seriously. Under such circumstances, Xiang Nan gave the impression that he was a glass man, but in fact——
The quality shown by Xiang Nan after his injury is much better than expected. Although the current state cannot be said to be able to face some strong defenders in the Premier League, such as Manchester United's Rio Ferdinand, it is already good. , After a period of training, Chelsea's team doctor fully believed that Xiang Nan could become a nightmare for all Premier League defenders, 'Let the damn Sun curse go to hell! ! '

Bryan's team doctor has every reason to express his indignation. After the "Sun" and Xiang Nan completely turned against each other, they publicly stated in their own newspaper: Xiang Nan will not score at most 5 goals for Chelsea in the remaining half of the season. , will be injured again, and if he fails, he will be served by the pure man defenders of the Premier League and retire early! !

In Brian's view, this is a great disregard for the entire medical staff of Chelsea. He wants to prove that under the coaching and training of Chelsea's medical team led by Brian, Xiangnan can achieve greatness in the Premier League. success! !
Obviously, today is Xiang Nan's first massive strength training session after recovering from injury, and the result was good, which made Brian overjoyed! !
Sweat slowly rolled down Xiang Nan's chest. He also knew what the "Sun" said, but Xiang Nan didn't intend to fight with this tabloid that has always been known for biting people. The ball hits back all doubts and doubts! !
However, Xiang Nan does not intend to pay attention to it. It does not mean that the Chelsea club will tolerate the constant harassment from the three-page tabloid, especially Chelsea CEO Kenyon, who regards this as a great doubt about his acquisition. The official website of the "Sun" expressed great indignation at the almost vicious curse.

However, the "Sun" apparently did not intend to pay attention to the protests of the Chelsea club. In England, a country with extremely free media, the elites of Fleet Street are like a fish in water. Sten' guy, no good career prospects, most of the time is battling various injuries" mantra to back up his rhetoric.

However, the increasingly unscrupulous remarks of the "Sun" finally aroused great disgust from Chelsea fans. This three-page tabloid in England has once again achieved the feat of causing public outrage, and it seems that they still enjoy it and plan to continue. this way…

*******
This is the second day in a row that Xiang Nan has participated in the team training.

After Brian's team doctor adjusted Xiangnan's training plan according to Xiangnan's strength training results, he also submitted his latest analysis report to Chelsea's coaching staff. He believed that Xiangnan's physique was completely fine. Having adapted to the requirements of joint training, Brian even joked to explain Xiang Nan's current situation——
'This kid, he might even get a kicker under John's pressure...'

After the Chelsea coaching staff analyzed Bryan's report, Grant finally made a decision to allow Xiang Nan to participate in the team training. He has already been introduced, and he has no problems with Xiang Nan, and Xiang Nan's serious attitude in training can satisfy any picky coach, so Grant also decided to give this winter transfer bid king a chance, After all, it cost 2350 million euros to buy, and Grant dared not use it, after all——
The decision to buy is a decision made by Chelsea CEO Kenyon and owner Abramovich together! !
At Chelsea, there is only one boss whose decisions must be obeyed, and that is Abramovich! !

After receiving the pass from Belletti, Xiang Nan leaned on Terry's body, tapped his chest, and quickly half-turned. To win the ball was a volley. After the ball was drawn, he spun towards the back of the goal with great speed. Go, the ball passed Petr Cech's fingers and swayed a snowflake on the net.

3:2! !
The team where Xiang Nan was on the bench once again overtook the score, and Xiang Nan made a pass and a shot for the team to achieve a big reversal from 0:2 to 3:2.

At this time, Grant on the sidelines couldn't help applauding this beautiful goal. From stopping the ball to using his body reasonably, blocking the world's top defensive general Terry, and then shooting, it was done in one go, almost impeccable of! !
Grant quickly recorded something in the notebook in his hand.

If there is anything else that satisfies Grant, it is that Xiang Nan ran more reasonably in today's training match than in yesterday's training match, and handled possible dangerous balls better to avoid Irregular movements resulted in injuries, and the only thing that made Grant uneasy was——
Xiang Nan's physical fitness just after recovering from injury.

This is also one of the reasons why Grant is now hesitating whether to put Xiangnan in the squad for the match against Liverpool.

'Should I let him play against Liverpool or be safe and wait until the FA Cup against Hursfield on February 2? '

Uh... I have to say, for the Israelis, this is really a happy trouble...

The ball that was assisted by Xiangnan was passed to Shevchenko. The two Andres achieved a wall-hitting cooperation, and Shevchenko scored the ball with a push.

'Hey, Andre, save me some face too, don't be so excited just because of Brian's words. '

Although Xiang Nan leaned against him and scored a beautiful goal, Terry was very dissatisfied with himself, but he still put his arms around Xiang Nan's neck and said in Xiang Nan's ear that Brian used to prove Xiang Nan's body The joke about recovering from the team captain Terry is now known to the whole Chelsea team, and it has become a topic of discussion during the team's training.

"Hey, John, I can't help it. It's a natural reaction. It's the ball."

Xiang Nan spread his hand, and blinked at Terry. This fart made Terry very angry. However, assistant first-team coach Ray Wilkins, who was in charge of training next to him, didn't let him have his way, blowing the whistle for the end of the game after South's goal.

The rule of this group confrontation in the team is that as long as any side scores 3 goals in the opponent's goal, the game can be ended early.

What if it has not reached 3?

Uh... Well, let's play the full 45 minutes of the training match! ! !
The training is over, and Xiang Nan and Lampard exchanged the training experience just now. In the training match just now, Lampard's iconic long shot broke through the ten fingers of the goalkeeper Taylor on the substitute team. The goal was almost unresponsive.

Lampard is also interested in the new teammate in front of him who is 11 years younger than himself. Xiang Nan and the whole team have only practiced twice, and they already have a tacit understanding. Take the training match just now, he As for the cooperation with Shevchenko, the tacit understanding between the two forwards who both played in Serie A makes people have to applaud. I believe this scene will also make Grant on the sidelines shine.

After the training, everyone continued to do some individual training with a relatively small amount of exercise on the sidelines. Kalu was talking to his compatriots, and looked towards Nan from time to time. Obviously, Xiang Nan showed in training today. The good condition made the Ivorians feel a little threatened.

Xiangnan also felt Kalou's gaze, but he ignored it. He didn't want to freeze the relationship with the Ivorian. After all, he just came to the team and didn't know much about the locker room. There's no need to make enemies because of his personality. Moreover, Drogba obviously belongs to a small group with Kalu and Malouda, who is also from Ligue [-].

To be honest, Kalou's performance in the training just now was mediocre. Today's Ivorians want to express themselves too much. They want to prove that they are better than the rookie on the bench. The vest that symbolizes the main force on their body is not blown out.

Uh... I don't know, has Kalou heard such a sentence: There is no need for a truly capable player to be so nervous! !

After the simple small-scale training, the whole team returned to the locker room, and the members of the coaching staff went out. Everyone knows that the coaches are going to discuss tomorrow's squad list. If there is no problem, it will be announced later 18-man roster.

This also makes players like Xiang Nan and Ivanovic who transferred during the winter break a little absent-minded. Ivanovic is okay. In the last round of away game against Portsmouth, he already He came off the bench and didn't perform too well, but as a defender, in his debut, he was quite satisfactory and not bad.

At this time, Shevchenko also took the initiative to come over to communicate with Xiang Nan. Although Shevchenko has been in the UK for almost 2 years, his English is really not very good, so the two of them mostly communicated in Italian. Knowing if this will give the Ukrainian the feeling of being back in Serie A, back in Milan, back in his prime.

However, obviously, the beautiful cooperation between Xiangnan and Shevchenko today is also one of the reasons why the Ukrainians took the initiative to come to communicate.

On the football field, whether it is to win the respect of teammates or opponents, the only weapon is your strength! !
As long as you are strong enough! !

You'll get the respect and trust you need! !

A former super shooter like Shevchenko, who has fallen to this point, wants to prove himself again more than anyone else.And because of the same Serie A background between him and Xiang Nan, Xiang Nan was even hailed as the 'New Basten', which also gave Shevchenko, a former Milan striker, a rare person to talk to at Stamford Bridge.

At this time, the door of the locker room was pushed open, and everyone saw the head coach Grant coming with a notebook, and the locker room suddenly fell silent. Everyone was attracted by this notebook, because that Yes—the big list for tomorrow's game against Liverpool! ! !
Grant glanced at the sudden silence in the locker room, picked up the notebook in his hand expressionlessly, and read out the names one by one following the Israelis' English with a strong Tel Aviv accent:

Goalkeepers: Petr Cech, Lace Taylor
At this time, Taylor, a young player born in 1990, took a breath of excitement when he heard that he had been selected for the first time. Grant stared at him, and immediately obediently dared not move.

Grant was pleased to see Taylor's reaction, and he enjoyed the sense of the manager's lethal majesty. What the old coach Harry Redknapp didn't experience when he was the head coach of the Israeli national team was also a different feeling. Why?
Uh... this, because the Israeli national team doesn't have so many big names! !
Grant took a look, and then read out the candidates for other positions——
Defense: Ricardo Carvalho, Rodrigo Alex, Giuliano Belletti, Ashley Cole, Paulo Ferreira, John Terry
At this time, Ivanovic's face changed slightly when he heard that he didn't have his name.

Midfielders: Makelele, Frank Lampard, Michael Essien, Michael Ballack, John Obi Mikel, Joe Cole, Florent Malouda

Forwards: Didier Drogba, Salomon Kalou
After reading this, Grant paused, coughed, and looked up at his team members, who still had the last spot.

Xiangnan felt his heartbeat suddenly speed up at this moment. At this time, Shevchenko was as nervous as Xiangnan. The Ukrainians knew that now Xiangnan's joining made the already fiercely competitive striker even more nervous.

Grant glanced at Xiang Nan who was sitting on the side, seeing clearly the longing eyes of this winter's transfer bid king, and slowly read out the last quota——
"Andre!!"

As soon as the words fell, Xiang Nan was really taken aback, because Shevchenko who was sitting not far from him was also called Andrei, and he didn't know who this 'Andrei' was.

At this time, Terry came over and whispered in Xiangnan's ear, "In the team, we generally only call the Ukrainian Shevchenko..."

It was only then that Xiang Nan realized that he had been selected for the squad for the match against Liverpool. He also captured a message from Terry's words, that is, Shevchenko's situation in the locker room did break the news with the media. Came out of the same, very embarrassing situation.

The arrival of the Ukrainian was actually completely caused by his super fan - the owner of Chelsea - Abramovich, and the reaction to Shevchenko in the Chelsea locker room was very flat, but it all took a while. After more than a year, the Ukrainians still haven't changed much in the locker room...

I glanced at the lonely Shevchenko not far away to the south. During today's training, Shevchenko's condition was better than Kalu's to be honest, so I won't get a chance. I can only say- ——
The days of the Ukrainians at Stamford Bridge are coming to an end! !
Although he regrets this former super-scorer, Xiang Nan knows that this is his opportunity, it is time to prove to Chelsea fans and the club his own strength, to prove that every penny the club spends on him is worth more than what he deserves. worth it! !
Uh... I have to say, the days of the winter king are not easy! !
Yes! !It's time for those guys who maliciously doubted themselves to shut up completely! !
Uh... But, the prerequisite is that I can get the chance to play in the game! !

Grant is now obsessed with the Christmas tree formation. If there is no accident, the starting striker in tomorrow's game will undoubtedly be Drogba.

Although the relationship between Grant and Drogba is still a bit stiff, the strength of the Ivorian is there, and there is no problem with the cooperation with the whole team. Therefore, Drogba's starting position is still stable for a while. Of course, If the Côte d'Ivoire again repeatedly votes for other giants, Drogba's future will be in question.

In this case, only one of Xiangnan and Kalu on the bench could play.

At this time, Xiang Nan saw Kalu's provocative eyes, and returned a glance without fear, 'Just wait and see! ! '

"This is the list of 18 people. The specific starting list will be announced again after tomorrow's training!!"

The Chelsea coach put down the last sentence, "I don't want to. Before tomorrow's game, I read in some third-page newspapers that some people have been fooling around all night, although the girls in London are better than Yorkshire. Girls with Portsmouth open up!!!”

After saying this, Grant turned and left.

At this time, the locker room was eerily quiet, and Xiang Nan also noticed a change in Kalu's face. Grant's words were clearly referring to the words in the locker room two days ago, which proves that someone in the locker room will The news told the coach, and now it seems that Kalou was the one who said that.

Although Kalu's popularity in the team is mediocre, the secret of the locker room is sacred to the team. At this time——
'Is there a ghost in the locker room? ! ! ' Immediately the thought popped into everyone's mind...
