Chapter 169 The origin of Pepe

It is not easy for Lampard to decide a victory with Morris.

If you are a forward player, scoring goals is the most direct way to determine the outcome. However, as a midfielder, even if you are the core of the two teams, it is not easy for both of you to score goals. As core players, the outcome of both of you depends on the outcome of both teams.

Lampard knew that in terms of organizational offensive ability, he was not as good as Morris, who had a strong sense of the overall situation, but he thought his personal ability was better, but on the court, there was no chance to directly compete with the two of them. Therefore, it was very difficult to prove this kind of individual ability, and it still had to look at the whole game. Even at the end of the whole game, it was difficult to see who had stronger personal ability. After all, in two teams, the defense level faced was also different. Unless there was a very special performance, it was difficult to prove anything.

However, on the field, it is easy to decide the outcome of another "one-pair", that is, the highly-watched Andre Shepchenko and Manchester City centre-back, the young Kopelle Ferreira.

Shepchenko was the most popular player in this game. He is the most famous of the twenty-two players on the scene. This is also his first game to join Chelsea. So even if he doesn't get the ball, the camera will frequently point at him. When he gets the ball, almost all the commentators will focus on what he did.

So Kopelle Ferreira, who is the main defensive position in Shepchenko, was mentioned by media commentators.

If Shepchenko performed well, Kopelle Ferreira would definitely be ignored. All media commentators would loudly cheer for Shepchenko's performance. Naturally, as a foil of green leaves, Kopelle Ferreira became a passerby, and there was no need to say the name.

The key is that Shepchenko is not performing well!

When Shepchenko performed poorly, some media commentators began to look for the reasons. They soon discovered Kopelle Ferreira, who was defending Shepchenko, and then paid attention to his defensive performance in the confrontation with Shepchenko.

Then many media commentators shouted—

"Kopelle Ferreira. He once again blocked Sheva's pass!"

"Sheva was intercepted, it was Manchester City's central defender, young Portuguese star Kopelle Ferreira!"

"He is only a year old this year, and it is hard to imagine such a young central defender. He will mainly limit the famous Andre Shepchenko in the Premier League!

"Shepchenko has almost done nothing under Ferreira's defense..."

"In the new game statistics, until the current position, Shepchenko has not successfully broken through Ferreira's defense. Whether it is personal breakthrough or cooperation with teammates, there is no..."

"Shepchenko was completely restricted by the Portuguese central defender!"

“…”

It is not an exaggeration to say that Schepchenko was completely restricted. Three minutes have passed in the game and Schepchenko has almost no performance.

Chelsea teammates support him a little, but he wasted more opportunities.

Many times, if you can't reach Kopelle Ferreira's point, Sepchenko will lose the ball due to cooperation issues, or if you can't get the ball at the position at all. If you get the ball near the penalty area, he must face Kopelle Ferreira's defense. Then he found that this "famous" young Portuguese central defender has become an insurmountable barrier between him and the goal.

So far, Shepchenko has been intercepted twice by Koppel Ferreira and intercepted twice indirectly.

It is no exaggeration for the media commentator to say that he has not successfully broken through Ferreira's defense. He really failed to break through Ferreira's defense. His only shot was a long shot outside the penalty area, and he couldn't even hit the strength, let alone the threat to the goal.

Anyway, Shepchenko has not performed at all at the moment.

So many media commentators found reasons for Shepchenko's poor performance. This is definitely not a problem with Shepchenko's ability.

As a famous star with a Golden Ball Award and won the Eastern European Footballer for a row, she has won various championship awards for the past few seasons. Shepchenko's ability is not to doubt at all.

So is he not adapting to the Premier League? This is for sure.

But the media commentator definitely cannot say that. Because this concept is too general and cannot be used as a direct reason at all, then the direct reason is found, that is, Manchester City's main central defender Kopelle Ferreira's defense is doing too well!

It's really great!

So far, Kopelle Ferreira's defense has not made any mistakes, and he has stood at the most correct position to intercept Chelsea's offense again and again.

He not only succeeded in defending against Shepchenko. His overall offense performance against Chelsea was also quite outstanding. He performed more eye-catchingly than his partner, experienced Dunn!

One of the most powerful evidence is that many Manchester City fans who followed the team to London were shouting the name of Kopelle Ferreira. As a Portuguese player, the name of "kepler-laveran-lima-ferreira" was too long, so the fans directly called Ferreira's name "kepler", and then the tone changed again and again. In the end, even the pronunciation of the first 'k' was saved, and they repeatedly called 'pler'. This was like the Chinese world's swearing sound, which was quite exciting. Then more fans also shouted. For a moment, the shout of "Pepepe" had a place in the noisy stadium.

Listening to the shouts in his ears, Wan Sheng's expression was a little complicated.

In his previous life, Koppel Ferreira was intimately called "Pepe" by Chinese fans. He originally thought that this was the code name given to Pepe by Chinese fans, but now when he heard the fans' calls, it seems that the name "Pepe" has begun to spread.

Wansheng's feeling is very complicated, just like witnessing history.

But in fact, he is experiencing the process of the formation of the name "Pepe". The feeling of knowing the result and experiencing it again makes him feel a little complicated. But now, Kopelle Ferreira's ability to stand in the Premier League and represent Manchester City and Chelsea in the match.

So, is he the one who wrote this history?

Although this history does not seem to be very important, Wan Sheng still feels that his butterfly effect seems to be getting more and more intense. Kopelle Ferreira won the applause of the applause of the glamorous title of "Pepe" in advance. Will his future achievements become greater?

Surely!

After having his own training, it would be really abnormal if Kopelle Ferreira still had the same achievements!

...

Chelsea coach Mourinho was not in the mood to win. Thinking of history and other things, he didn't care about the shouting of Manchester City fans, but frowned at Shepchenko's performance.

Before the game started, he knew that Shepchenko would not perform well. Because Shepchenko had not been able to fully integrate into the team, he was not so familiar with the team's tactics and cooperation, and had no tacit understanding with his teammates. In this case, the reason why Shepchenko was sent to play was from the pressure from Chairman Abramovich, and the other was that Shepchenko was famous enough and had very good personal abilities. As a striker, there would be no problem in front of the goal, and perhaps he could perform well.

Mourinho is still looking forward to this.

But now this little bit of expectations is gone, and Shepchenko's performance will only be worse than he imagined, and will not be a little better.

Then Mourinho began to worry.

What to do now? Swapchenko? No, it's too early!

Swapchenko at this time will definitely make Shepchenko dissatisfied and will have a great impact on Shepchenko. Perhaps it will take him longer to adapt to the Premier League. In addition, club chairman Abramovich will also think that he has given Shepchenko too little time, and the pressure from both sides will not allow him to replace Shepchenko now.

So just watch like this?

The score has not changed, but continue to do so, it is difficult for Chelsea's offense to achieve results. It is difficult to break the opponent's close defense by relying on Drogba alone to attack.

Mourinho didn't know what to do for a moment.

This is a situation that has rarely happened since Mourinho's coaching. Generally speaking, he is very decisive and never regrets it after making a decision. But now the situation is different. At Chelsea Club, he has no absolute trust from Chairman Abramovich and no absolute rights in the team. So when he makes a decision, he has to look forward to it.

Mourinho knew this, but he had no choice.

Abramovich, who was sitting in the VIP box, also frowned. Unlike Mourinho, he would not worry about the situation of the game. That was what the head coach should consider. He could sit here just to appreciate the game. He hoped to enjoy a winning game, and in this winning game, he also hoped to see the players he was optimistic about could perform well.

That is Andre Shepchenko.

Shepchenko is a superstar in football and a friend of Abramovich. The two have a very good personal relationship, or this is also due to the best friend relationship between Abramovich's wife Irina and Shepchenko's wife Christine.

Since joining Chelsea, Abramovich has wanted to introduce Shepchenko. It was not until a few years later that his idea was realized. Shepchenko joined his Chelsea, so he began to look forward to Shepchenko's performance.

Shepchenko's performance is not good now, everyone can see it at the scene, and Abramovich can also see it.

He frowned and looked at Mourinho sitting on the sidelines.

In fact, Abramovich knew that Mourinho did not want to introduce Shepchenko. He was very unaware of signing Shepchenko. What few people know was that the two had an argument about this. Although the strong Abramovich won in the end, Mourinho's attitude towards introducing Shepchenko was also very clear.

So Abramovich had to force the Portuguese to accept this fact.

Afterwards, Mourinho welcomed Sheva's arrival with a verbal sarcasm and told the media, "Today is the day my dream comes true. When I first arrived at Chelsea, I hope Sheva can be my center. He is great, ambitious, disciplined, and has high tactical qualities. There is no doubt that he is a great striker." But this is facing the superficial work of the media, Abramovich knew very well that Mourinho did not welcome Shepchenko.

Now in the game, Shepchenko's poor performance seems to prove that Mourinho is right. So, is he wrong? Just as the Portuguese said, Shepchenko is not suitable for Chelsea?

No! Surely not!

It must be this damn Portuguese who doesn't know how to use people, otherwise why would Shepchenko perform well in AC Milan and not perform well at Chelsea!?

Abramovich watched Shepchenko running on the field and made a decision silently. If Mourinho cannot use Shepchenko correctly and let Shepchenko adapt to Chelsea and Premier League games, then next year he will find a head coach who can use Shepchenko and make Shepchenko perform well.

In Abramovich's heart, Shepchen Kobe is more important than Mourinho!

...

But no matter what Mourinho and Abramovich think, it will not be of any use to Shepchenko's performance on the field.

Shepchenko's time at Chelsea is still too short. He needs to adapt to Chelsea's tactics, to adapt to the cooperation with his teammates, and to the Premier League.

To sum up, he needs time.

As a successful star, Shepchenko knew this, but even so, he was still very unwilling to show no performance, especially... Especially the damn young Portuguese central defender in front of him, he was unknown, but he could be defensive to himself?

Shepchenko could imagine what the media would say after the game!

They must have praised this Portuguese central defender, and what made the opponent famous was his mediocrity on the court. As a famous star, he was unwilling to accept this.

So this time, when Sepchenko got the ball at the front of the penalty area, he saw Kopel Ferreira right in front of him, gritted his teeth and rushed towards Kopel Ferreira.

He wants to pass this young boy to prove that he was not guarded by the other party!

...

When Wan Sheng stood on the sidelines and saw this scene, he almost laughed out loud. It was obvious that Shepchenko was already a little dizzy.

Manchester City's defense at the front end of the penalty area is very strict. Not to mention Shepchenko, even Ronaldinho, Messi, and even Maradona at his peak, it is very unrealistic to rely on skills to rush into Manchester City's penalty area at that position.

That's no longer something that ordinary stars can do.

Just like Maradona's most glorious moment in her personal career, she can only achieve the feat of breaking through to Manchester City's penalty area when she performed against England in the World Cup.

In other words... this is impossible, at least Shepchenko does not have this ability.

really!

Just like Wan Sheng thought, before Schepchenko rushed to Kopelle Ferreira, she was blocked by Joey Patton next to her. Then Kopelle Ferreira stepped forward, and the two completed the closing goal one left and one right. Faced with this kind of defense, Schepchenko had no choice but to grit her teeth and watch Kopelle Ferreira complete another successful defense against him, and then the latter kicked the ball forward to Morris.

Next, it's Manchester City's turn to counterattack! (To be continued.)
