King of Competition

Chapter 451 October League 1

On October 1, this National Day, which has a special commemoration for the Far East, at two o'clock in the afternoon, the match between Newcastle and Portsmouth in the eighth round of the Premier League was held at Flatton Park, and Newcastle United challenged Portsmouth away.

In the summer, the front line of Portsmouth was almost hollowed out.

Yakub went to Middlesbrough, and Fleur and Camara also left the team one after another. The striker Mbezuma, who was introduced from the South African chief, finally got the labor license, but his strength is still unknown. As well as Caradas from Benfica, who will break the goal for Portsmouth in the new season, Palin needs to calculate. In the midfield, the range of blood changes is not small. The veteran Borg and Stone left the team, and Newcastle's Robert joined. The team was less stable and more uncertain.

What is worthy of Palin's delight is the defense line. Last season's lineup remained unchanged, with Obrien of Newcastle. Before the game, the Sun commented, "This may become the capital of Portsmouth's hope of victory."

Michael of Newcastle United in this game. Owen was absent due to a leg injury. According to the historical record, the two teams have scored in 19 encounters at Fraton Park since 1950. But in the end, when the final whistle sounded, the game finally ended the game with zero.

Portsmouth people laughed to the end!

Now there are two teams that are strong in the Premier League: Chelsea and Newcastle United. The former has won seven consecutive games of the season, while the latter only has to make up games with Blackburn, and all the remaining seven games have been won. Even if Don Jack did not play, Newcastle United defeated Manchester City in the last game. This performance made Portsmew It is difficult for people to see the hope of victory.

However, because Don Jack and Owen did not play, Newcastle United lacked effective offensive means and failed to score in the end.

After the game, Portsmouth coach Palin frankly admitted that the team was lucky: "They don't have a complete lineup. We saw Newcastle United's diversified offense in many game videos, but we didn't see it in this game. It was good for us, so we defended the goal. The draw is so simple.

"Jack and Owen have a great influence on the team." Sones said, "We're not Chelsea, just Newcastle United. Without the game between Jack and Owen, we have to cheer up to ensure the results."

Soness's depression can be imagined that the two star players of the team can't play. However, the draw made the team depressed, but Sones didn't take it seriously. Instead, he thought it was very good. "Winning all the time is a pressure on the players. They will think 'can't lose' and 'can't lose the ball', which makes them not You can maintain the best competitive state, and the opponent may not care at all.

"A draw is the best result, and we will relax and play." Sones finally said.

Don Jack has been prepared for the team's loss, but he is also concerned about Chelsea's game. It's not casual to say that he wants to win the championship. Chelsea can be said to be Newcastle United's biggest competitor in the league. If he wants to win the league championship, he must score more than Chelsea. If he cuts Ersi has been winning, and the team's performance is average, so even if you want to win the championship, it's just a dream.

But Chelsea still won...

In the focus of the eighth round of the English Premier League, Chelsea's away victory over Liverpool -4, and the match at Anfield against Benitez's Liverpool was a tragedy.

Throughout the game, the turning point was in the 27th minute. Troure fouled Drogba. Lampard scored a penalty to help the Blues take the lead. Gerrard's goal once equalized the score, but Drogba assisted Duff to score before the end of the half. In the second half, Drogba first assisted Joe. Cole captured the third city, and the last goal scored by Robben's assist Gremi was also created by Drogba's offensive.

Chelsea, who started with an eight-game winning streak, is still far ahead of the table, and the second-ranked Newcastle United is also five points behind Chelsea.

In fact, Chelsea and Liverpool have just played against each other. The two teams played against each other in Anfield in the Champions League in the middle of the week, which is considered to be a match again.

1 to 4, a losing score reminds many Liverpool players of the glory of last season. Last season, Liverpool were not afraid of Chelsea. On the contrary, they were looking forward to playing against Chelsea. The second half and Chelsea's league were even more memorable. Among them, the No. 10 brunette boy's performance made Liverpool a lot. People remember it deeply. But now the team's two Anfield games, a draw and a big defeat, are too much worse than last season. Many Liverpool media have also questioned Benitez's sale of Don Jack, because Liverpool is no longer a strong contender for the league championship this season. The team has fallen straight from a high place and now seems to be over. Without the mentality and strength of the champion, he returned to the situation where he could only fight for the top four.

"When will Jack come back!"

The Liverpool Morning Post used such a headline to report the game. They think that the team has lost the spirit of a strong team, and it is difficult to play the role of Don Jack even if there is a Gerard. "Jack can't come back, but where is the next Jack?" The Liverpool people are looking forward to the team's return to the road of honor.

However, losing did not make Benitez depressed after the game. On the contrary, he prefers to see positive things in the game. After all, as a head coach, he must be the first person to raise his head from a big defeat. The season is still very long, which is not the end of the world.

"How did we lose 1-4? It's incredible. In fact, in the first 25 minutes, we controlled the game very well," Benitez said after the game. "In that time, we played good football, and I was very satisfied with the performance during that time."

"In my opinion, this is just a game lost. Any wise person should be able to realize this. It doesn't matter how big the score is. It's just a game. We have to look forward. Now that this game is over, we need to start thinking about the next game. We need to improve. Our performance is actually better than the score.

So what made Liverpool lose 1-4? Benitez had to admit that the team made some mistakes, which ruined the whole game. On that penalty, we made a mistake and then equalized the score, but they finally scored again. In the second half, we planned to use the oppressive style, but in the end we were mistakenly destroyed. Look at the third loss of the ball, and the fourth one was caused by an out-of-bounds ball, which was unbelievable.

"In the first half, we played at a level comparable to that of our opponents, but if you lose the ball, you have to play it in an adventurous way, so that you may lose another ball." Benitez said. In fact, the opponent's coach Mourinho also said after the game that he expected Liverpool to fight at halftime, which gave Chelsea room to counterattack, which Liverpool had never given to Chelsea before.

In addition, Benitez also admitted that Chelsea has a strong ability to grasp the mistakes of their opponents, which is their terrible point. We lost because we made mistakes, which is also Chelsea's way of playing. They contracted a lot and were ready to fight back. They could punish any mistake. That's what happened today.

But anyway, this is also regarded by the media as a way for Benitez to cover up his mood.

Everyone will compare the current Liverpool with last season. The result is no comparison between the two. No matter what Benitez says, the team's results are here. Chelsea in two home games, the result is a complete defeat, which is difficult for the media and fans to accept.

In this round, Chelsea's Warcraft Drogba became the best player in this round.

The beast is the most appropriate description of Drogba. His weapons come from nature, strength, speed and explosive power, which are all gifts from God to the Iodivians.

"In all four goals of Chelsea, Drogba has made a key contribution..." This is the evaluation of Chelsea's high striker after Sky Sports. This is a very high evaluation. Although the Io d'Ivoire did not score, he is worthy of the best in the game. Drogba rushed to the defense line with strength and fearless running, while Duff, Joe Cole and Gremi followed and picked up the opportunity..." The British news agency sighed that this statement vividly depicts Drogba's role in the big victory.

Only the battle between rich families can create a real hero!

In the face of Liverpool, Mourinho wants to be ashamed, and all the members of the Blues want revenge. What can be better than making Benitez speechless, making Carragher bow his head, and making Gerrard cry without tears? Drogba seized this hard-won opportunity. He made all the Chelsea people laugh and all the Liverpool people cry. Mourinho will definitely "reward" Drogba. There is only a small note in the gift box with two big words: the main force.

Manchester United forward Park Ji-sung is also one of the best candidates. His assist hat-trick helped Manchester United narrowly beat Fulham. Unfortunately, this is not a big team duel. It is difficult for Park Ji-sung to beat Drogba in the big team to become the best player, but the assist king has become the hottest title in the Premier League, and selfless people deserve to be respected.

In this season, Wigan Athletic's goal can only be to relegation.

"As a team with no experience in the Premier League, they will be doomed to face a hard battle in the new season. Head coach Javier has had the experience of the Premier League. He once led Bradford to the Premier League and successfully relegated in the second year. Obviously, he hopes to replicate his experience and lead the new team to stay in the Premier League." - The Sun

In the summer, Wigan Athletic head coach Javell made several good deals: he signed former Liverpool Swiss central defender Henkutz, which brought the team the most needed experience. Last season, Norwich's midfield scorer Francis also came, and it is also worth mentioning the Senegalese international Heng from Wolverhampton Wanderers. Li Kamala, who won two yuan in the South Korea-Japan World Cup against Sweden, became famous. He also showed good strength on loan to Southampton last season.

However, more media believe that for the weakness of the team's overall strength, these deals may not be enough to save the fate of Wigan Athletic, and Javier needs to continue to explore its potential from the inside.

In a word, at the beginning of the game, Wigan Athletic was the biggest favorite for relegation in the Premier League.

However, in the first meaningful Premier League in Wigan's history, the match against the defending champion Chelsea was eye-catching for everyone. Although they lost in the end, Wigan Athletic forced Chelsea coach Mourinho to admit frankly that 'the result does not represent the process, and Chelsea should not be the winner', and it is indeed It's great now.

Surprise is far from over!

Four wins, one draw and three losses in eight games. At the end of the eight rounds of the league, fans can't find the name of Wigan Athletic in the relegation zone of the Premier League. If you want to find this name, you can go to the eighth and ninth places in the Premier League... A strong new army in the Premier League!

On Friday night, the day before the game, the Premier League officially announced the best candidates for the Premier League in September. Among them, Wigan Athletic coach Jeville overwhelmed Chelsea coach Mourinho and became the best coach in October. The title of best player was won by Charlton player Murphy.

In the September game, Wigan Athletics left a profound impact on people. They beat West Bromwich Albion 2-1, Everton 1-0, and Ellsbrough 2-1. It reminds me that Chelsea beat them by one goal after a hard battle in the opening match of the Premier League. The performance of Wigan Athletic is worthy of respect. The August's best candidates listed in the Premier League are Mourinho, Javier, Allardyce and Sonnes, but Allardyce's results are not popular. Newcastle United also missed the opportunity because of the game with Blackburn, which is full of violence. The final result is that Javier has become Wigan's history. The first to receive the title of Best Coach in the Premier League.

Why didn't the Premier League official choose to lead the team to eight consecutive wins and beat Arsenal and Liverpool's Chelsea coach Mourinho in a row?

The official believes that "Jeffell is trustworthy. He led the team to achieve excellent results at the beginning. His aggressive style ensures that he has won a lot of points and has the unanimous support of fans and the media."

This Premier League romp has met Newcastle United in the new round.

In this game, Wigan Athletic hopes to win three consecutive home games, while Newcastle United hopes to remain unbeaten this season.

Both teams were eager for victory, but the game was very fierce---

In the 10th minute, Roberts got rid of Elliott after receiving a long pass, but he hit the near corner post with a low left foot shot 16 meters on the left side of the penalty area.

In the 25th minute, Bowyer's low shot from his right foot at 23 yards in the middle also hit the left post, and Newcastle United returned the color.

In the first half, the two teams fought very fiercely in the midfield, and neither side had a good chance after that. However, Wigan won first, and the Athletic took the lead in the 40th minute. Francis passed directly to the right rib of the penalty area in the middle. Roberts shot at a small angle from 10 yards. The ball hit the goalkeeper Geven and rolled into the gate.

"The goal is scored! This is an oolong..." The goalkeeper Jiwen's own goal.

However, Roberts, who shot, still celebrated loudly. The ball was a little lucky, but the goal was always on Roberts' head. Newcastle United launched a big attack under the backward situation, but as Soness himself said, without Owen and Don Jack, Newcastle United's attack was too monotonous, and as a result, Newcastle's attack was fruitless in the second half.

In the end, Newcastle United suffered their first defeat since the start of the game.

In another game at the same time, Chelsea beat Bolton -5 at Stamford Bridge. Jenna Coplos's goal made Chelsea fall behind at the beginning, but then Lampard and Drogba both scored twice, and Good Johnson also scored a goal, locking the score at 5 to 1.

The impressive record of nine consecutive victories also makes it difficult for other teams to match...

Such a strong Chelsea makes other teams seem to have no competitiveness at all. With one less game, Newcastle United and Chelsea have opened a gap of eight points, which is the same as another Charlton team that has just been promoted to the Premier League, ranking second and third in the league, and then losing two games. Forton, Manchester United, Aston Villa and Liverpool, which have tied for three games, can be imagined how strong Chelsea is now. In the face of the proud record of nine consecutive victories, other teams can only look at it with no thought at all.

In a low tide, the Premier League ushered in the tenth round, and Newcastle United's opponent is Sunderland.

Newcastle United's lineup at home is not complete. Don Jack can't play, not to mention Michael, who can only be described as fragile. Owen hasn't recovered from his injury, Alan. Shearer was also absent due to a thigh injury, and Ameobi started instead of him. Such a lineup makes Newcastle United media very worried. Coach Sones said before the game: "Our morale is very good. I believe that the young men will perform well in front of tens of thousands of fans!" This is a boost to morale.

Similarly, Sunderland also hopes to win Newcastle United, which has been in poor shape recently.

But obviously neither the media nor the clubs on both sides expected that the game would be so fierce! After the game began, the two teams began an offensive competition, and the scene fell into an extremely fierce situation. The pace of the game was very fast, which made the fans overwhelmed. Ameoby, who started the game, was extremely active. In the 34th minute, Emre made a left corner kick, and Ameobi scored a strong header, which was his first goal of the season.

Just a minute later, Sunderland's midfielder Lawrence made a low shot from 25 meters and went straight into the lower right corner to equalize the score.

In the 37th minute, Carl made a cross from the right side, and Nzobia hooked the ball back from a distance. Ameobi pressed Cadwell and headed the ball into the net again and scored twice.

In the 41st minute, Elliott's left foot shot from the edge of the penalty area and scored in the upper left corner to equalize the score again.

In the first half, the two sides drew. After the break, in the 63rd minute of the second half, Cadwell fouled Ameobi in the backcourt. Emre took a free kick 28 meters from the left and shot directly into the net to lock the victory.

Newcastle United finally won the offensive battle!

These three points are very important to Newcastle United. After the low tide of two games, the team's morale is generally weak. A victory is very important to improve the confidence of the players, especially such a smooth victory. Any real fan will like such a four-shot game.

A more important piece of news is: Chelsea are in a draw!
