In recent times, Premier League giants Chelsea have not had a good time. The British government's sanctions on club owner Abu have made it difficult for them. However, in this case, the Blues still showed a tenacious fighting spirit, and after the 1-0 win at Newcastle in this round, they have won five consecutive Premier League games, which can be described as a headwind.
However, the next round 2 of the Champions League knockout match with Ligue 1 champions Lille is still a severe test for Chelsea, and the British government has limited their travel expenses to less than 20,000 pounds, which has a great impact on the travel of the Blues. In this case, however, Havertz, who scored a deadly goal in the match against Newcastle, touched the Blues fans, and the 22-year-old young striker said in the pre-match press conference that he was willing to go away at his own expense.
"I will, if needed (at my own expense), it's not a big deal, for us, playing is the most important thing. There's something harder in the world right now than taking a bus or plane to an away game, so I'll pay for it, without any problems. ”
Prior to this, Chelsea manager Tuchel also expressed a similar view, saying that if they could not fly to Lille, they would choose a train or a bus, which was really not possible, and he drove a seven-seater car to personally pull the players to Lille.
Chelsea is a team with an iron spirit, they use tough play and fierce style of play to become a beautiful landscape in the Premier League and even in europe, and Drogba, Terry and other tough players will be excellent representatives. Although they have become memories, fans are now pleasantly surprised to find that the young generation of the Blues has perfectly inherited the iron-blooded spirit of their predecessors, and even in the face of the most severe challenges, they have also interpreted the blue-blooded spirit with practical actions.
Last weekend's match against Newcastle, chelsea, who played at home, suffered a great challenge, the Magpies, who were struggling for relegation, used intensive defense to make the Blues helpless, and their counterattack repeatedly tested Senegalese international Edouard Mendy. At the crucial moment, Havertz stepped forward, and he received a long pass from Jorginho in the 89th minute, and the chocolate-like silky stop ball in the penalty area nudged through the Newcastle goal and completed the fatal blow. After the game, some Chelsea fans lamented: "This Blues is good at everything, they just don't know what to give up." ”
In fact, it is this spirit of not giving up and not giving up that makes the Blues stand on the top of Europe for the first time 10 years ago, and it is this spirit that has allowed them to win the Big Ears Cup again in Manchester City, which was invincible last season. And this time the struggle against adversity has also allowed Chelsea to gain a large number of new fans. At least the editor himself has made them his 3rd home team (Inter and Tarzan are irreplaceable). Good luck to them.
