Chapter 114 The Premier League Years Chelsea Admirers

On February 2008, 2, the singing at Stamford Bridge was loud and clear, and the fans carried big banners, roared and walked towards the stadium. The fifth round of the FA Cup in the 16-2007 season will officially start in 2008 hours. Few fans will pay attention to Chelsea's opponent in this game. In the eyes of the Blues fans, this is from England. The first team is called Huddersfield, it’s just the country bumpkins who came to West London, and the warriors at Stamford Bridge will enjoy the pleasure of abuse on the ass of the Huddersfield people...

The game has not yet started, and the Chelsea team song has already sounded in the stands. The brisk and passionate main theme hovers over Stamford Bridge, just like the mood of this game! !
“Blue –is-the-COLOUR,
Football-is-the-game.
Were all together and-winning-is –our- aim.
So-cheer-us-on-through-the-sun –and-rain
Because- Chelsea- Chelsea- is our name.! ! !

Chelsea's bus drove slowly into Stamford Bridge, getting closer and closer to the stadium, and the singing of the fans could be heard more and more clearly. This was the first time that Xiang Nan really listened to the team's team song seriously, and took off his ears Putting on the earphones, leaning your head on the seat cushion, the singing of the fans entered your ears little by little, and the cheerful music was stirring in your mind——
Here –at- the -Bridge –whether-rain –or-shine,
We –can-shine –all-the-time.
Oh-for-a –way-come-and –see-us-play
Youre-welcome-any-day.
Hey, blue is the –co-lour! ! !

The bus drove slowly, and after a turn, it arrived at the internal parking lot of Stamford Bridge. The players got off the bus one after another and looked south towards the stadium. He could even feel the ground under his feet. Trembling, this is the prelude to passion...

The sound of the Chelsea team anthem could be heard more clearly.

"John, this song is very nice." Xiang Nan pointed his finger in the direction of the gate of Stamford Bridge Stadium.

Chelsea captain was taken aback, "Andre, what song?"

Immediately, Captain Chelsea saw Xiang Nan's finger and understood, "Yes, Andre, when I heard tens of thousands of people singing together for the first time, my heart almost jumped out!!"

Smiling south to Terry, he rang out the scene of his first game at the Stadio Olimpico in Turin——
The same grandeur, the same madness, the same passion! !
Football, the symbol of passion! !
This is the charm of football! !
*******
"Welcome to Sky Sports, I'm Wilson, you are watching a match in the fifth round of the 2007-2008 FA Cup, Chelsea vs Huddersfield at home, the game hasn't started yet, let's go first Take a look, the starting lineups of both sides!!"

As Wilson's voice hadn't finished, the big screen in the stadium displayed the starting rosters of the two sides' matches——
Chelsea (4-3-3):
Goalkeeper: 23-Cudicini;

Defense: 20-Ferreira, 22-Ben Haim, 26-Terry, 18-Bridge;
Midfielder: 12- Mikel, 9- Sidwell, 5- Essien,

Forwards: 7-Andrei Shevchenko, 16-Scott Sinclair, 9-Andre

In the starting lineup of this game, Cudicini unexpectedly appeared in the starting lineup after being absent for nearly 2 months, replacing Henrik Hillary who was expected to start this game Oh, and, this dude didn't even make the 18-man roster, and the substitute goalkeeper sitting on the bench is still Les Taylor.

"It seems that Taylor's poor start after coming off the bench in the last game did not make him abandoned, but the boy's beautiful big foot launched the attack really well, full of power , Great!! I bet if Taylor goes to play rugby, he will definitely be a star player!!" Mr. Wilson continued to chatter, the appetizers before the opening.

Uh... God, please, ask a question, um, is football played with your feet? ! !

"One of the interesting things about this game is that Chelsea have two Andres in the starting three strikers. The Ukrainian has a rare chance to start. As for Chelsea's three strikers, Scott Sheen Claire, who is also in attack facing Huddersfield's Frank Sinclair block!!"

Wilson began by joking about the three forwards in Chelsea's uncommon three-forward formation, and there was a good deal of good-natured laughter from the stands...

Huddersfield Field Lineup (4-4-2):

Goalkeeper: 27-Glen Long;
Defense line: 13-Frank Claire, 6-Clark, 29-Peggy, 10-Williams;

Midfielder: 4-Collins, 7-Blanton, 2-Hoddersworth, 22-Brett

Forwards: 18-Beckett, 14-Jevons

Uh... We noticed that Huddersfield's goalkeeper was not the S-Isle who was remembered by the Taylor brothers, but was replaced by No. 27 Glenn Long. What's going on?

Lineker quickly answered——
"Huddersfield No.[-] keeper Steve Ishwood slipped and sprained his left foot as he was getting off the bus this morning on his way to get used to the on-field training session at Stamford Bridge. Unable to participate in the game, Huddersfield's No. [-] goalkeeper Glenn Long got the chance to start, but on the Huddersfield bench, there is no substitute goalkeeper."

"Haha, God bless Huddersfield, maybe, in the future, players can consider asking some young nurses to help them when they get on and off the bus..." Mr. Wilson's voice sounded a bit ambiguous.

Uh... I have to say that Mr. Wilson's thoughts are really unhealthy. However, God testifies, if this suggestion of the old man is publicly voted by the players, it will definitely get enough votes of approval, just because——
There are too many werewolves! !

Uh... by the way, another second's silence for Steve Ishwood, who was cursed by the Taylor brothers, hapless guy! !In order not to be murdered by Chelsea No. 9, that guy who has been a little crazy recently on the pitch, he actually adopted such an extreme way of self-harming and retiring from the game...

Amen! !
Our Lady is with you! !
*******
It's Xiangnan's second game at Chelsea and his first start, so the kid who just tossed his 'Early Man' hat into the English Channel decided to do something to commemorate the occasion the match of! !
what to do !
Standing in the player tunnel, looking south to Huddersfield goalkeeper Glenn Long, this native of Huddersfield, the son of an honest wool mill owner! !
Glenn Long felt a chill running down his back, cursing in his heart, this unlucky London, the weather is like this, cold and humid, far worse than North Manchester...

Uh... by God, the weather in Manchester vs London is akin to arguing about 'Popeye' Lombardo's iconic road boar or Dutch boar Davis' iconic hairdo, which one is more stylish?
This is obviously half a catty, almost! !

Xiang Nan withdrew his convulsive eyes, and whispered something to Shevchenko next to him. Shevchenko, as a legendary striker in Milan history, moved to Chelsea. Although the current situation is relatively bad, However, no one can deny the strength of this former Ukrainian nuclear warhead. When Xiangnan was a child, he grew up watching Shevchenko play football, so he still maintains a certain amount of respect for Ukrainians.

Today, Shevchenko also got a rare chance to start, which also made the former head of the "Ukrainian nuclear bomb" hold his breath and wanted to rectify his name! !

As God testifies, among Chelsea's three strikers, there is an extremely energetic Xiangnan due to the estrus period, plus a rare starting player Shevchenko who is determined to sprout new shoots from an old tree, and another born in 1989. Seize the limited opportunity to prove yourself Sinclair...

Uh... I have to say, Huddersfield goalkeeper Glenn Long, this man who loves his hometown Manchester very much, really needs to be blessed by the Holy Mother...

*******
With the whistle of the referee, the game began.

After the start of the game, there was almost no suspense, no surprises, Chelsea compressed Huddersfield from League One in the half, and the besiegers had a poor goal for the visiting team! !
I want to say one more thing here. Although Huddersfield are now dawdling in the relegation zone of the League One, the history of this team is not much weaker than Chelsea. Huddersfield is the first to achieve three consecutive professional football league championships team.

This team, founded in 1908 and located in West Yorkshire, England, is also famous. It joined the Football League in 1910 and won the top league for three consecutive years (1923/24, 1924/25 and 1925/1926). The champion became the first team to win three consecutive championships. In 1922, it also won the FA Cup and the Charity Shield. It was known as the strongest team in Britain and the world at that time.

However, this former famous and noble lady has been wandering in the third tier of England for a long time now. The current players have long forgotten the ancient feat of three consecutive championships. In the fourth round of the FA Cup, with a home game Huddersfield learned that ---
My opponent in the next round is the defending champion Chelsea, who will come to Stamford Bridge to challenge Chelsea with John Terry, Lampard, Ballack and Didier Drogba! !
The club even gave a special half-day off to celebrate by going to the bar to relax! !
Uh... I have to say, this, is it an admirer of Chelsea? !

In the 4th minute of the game, Sinclair, after receiving a header from the south, slid the ball away, avoided Collins' tackle, transferred the ball to Shevchenko in the middle, and moved forward.

After receiving the pass from Sinclair, Shevchenko took two steps forward, pushed the ball with his right foot, passed the ball to the right of the penalty area, and suddenly started to the south, facing the ball, lightly knocked with his heel—— —
Sidwell, who was behind him, hit the ball with an angry shot! !When the ball was about to roll into the goal, it was blocked from the left post by a long leg that suddenly appeared! !
"GOOOOOAA——" the roar of the old man Wilson celebrating the goal was stuck in his throat by this long leg, "it's Huddersfield's No. 6 Clark, this Welshman uses a pole that can be compared to a bamboo pole." The long legs blocked Sidwell's shot. But Clark's long legs are more useful than that bamboo pole, he is Huddersfield bamboo pole, he became a hero, he saved Huddersfield, uh... Our Lady , you can bless him to save the second time!!"

Uh... I have to say that in such a match, Mr. Wilson still teased Crouch. If there is no old grudge between the two, God would not believe it! !
"However, the previous series of cooperation is really dazzling. Andre's appearance is like a lubricant that can be fired at any time in Chelsea's frontcourt. It's great!!"

A ready-to-fire lubricant? ! !
uh... what is this?Could it be that Lineker thought Southward was the legendary Transformers? ! !This, is there such a car man? !

corner kick! !
In the 4th minute of the game, Chelsea got their first corner kick since the opening.

Sidwell's corner kick was taken, the arc was not good, Shevchenko lightly rubbed the front point, and the ball flew towards the middle of the penalty area...

Clark hit the ball with his chest. The ball stopped a little too big and landed half a meter below Clark's feet. Clark was about to drive the ball forward and out of the danger zone. At this time, Huddersfield No. 6 only felt a fierce attack. The figure pressed towards him——
Xiang Nan's gaze was fixed on the ball in front of him, and he pushed his body forward very domineeringly, separating Clark and the ball. Without any hesitation, he swung his right foot, and the outer instep of his right foot hit the ball. In the middle and lower part, you can even see it in slow motion. After the drawn ball has undergone a sharp deformation, it makes a swishing sound and flies towards the goal——
