Duff is left-footed.

But there is nothing wrong with his right foot.Although not as sharp as his left foot, Duff's right foot is not bad at all compared to other left-footed players in football.Most of the goals he scored at Blackburn were with his right foot instead.

At Blackburn, Duff often swayed people with his left foot in the penalty area and then shot the goal with his right foot.The balance between the left and right feet is a major feature of Duff.

So Duff faced Leboeuf with a dunk of his left foot, and after swinging out of an angle, he shot the goal with his right foot.

Duff was too fast from receiving the ball to passing Melchiot and past Leboeuf.Did not give Chelsea any chance to prepare.

And Duff's last shot was even more wonderful.

The ball just sticks to the ground and runs towards the near corner.

Although De Huye made an action, it was already very late.He couldn't stop Duff's goal at all.

"goooooooooooal!!!!!!!!! Duff! Damien Duff!"

"The game only started for 3 minutes, just 3 minutes. With Duff's wonderful performance in the away game, Sunderland led Chelsea [-]-[-]. It was too fast, and Sunderland was already [-]-[-] in a blink of an eye. ahead of Chelsea."

"Damien Duff, just 20 years old, brought us such a wonderful performance. He moved from relegated Blackburn to Sunderland this season. £760 million, Sunderland I really picked up a treasure. Just a series of performances just now, even if it is 1000 million pounds, I can’t get it.”

Martin Taylor is speaking highly of Duff.

In recent times, various powerful wide players in the Premier League have emerged one after another.

Including Manchester United's Giggs, Leeds United's Kewell, Arsenal's Overmars, Sunderland's Poborski and so on.

Seeing Duff's performance now reminds Martin Taylor of these famous players.

"1000 million pounds. Judging from the Sunderland built by Su Yun. Su Yun's ambitions are obviously great. If Sunderland's results this season are outstanding, then Duff's worth may more than double. Look at Sunderland Delan used to walk on one leg, and the wing attack was basically launched by Poboski on the right. Now with Duff, Sunderland's attack power will be greatly improved. I am looking forward to Sunderland performance this season."

Andy Gray echoed Martin Taylor.

If it was a few years ago, they would not dare to say 1000 million pounds casually.

After all, Shearer scored more than 500 goals in the Premier League for three consecutive seasons a few years ago, and when he finally moved to Newcastle, it was only [-] million pounds.But recently it's different.

Recently, the value of players has been rising in layers.

1000 million pounds is already a small amount.

"Well, what happened?"

Martin Taylor, who had just enthusiastically praised Duff, said unexpectedly.

Because after Duff scored.The Sunderland players who gathered to celebrate did not continue to celebrate.Instead, they stopped celebrating and stood there looking at the vicinity of Chelsea's penalty area.The Chelsea players have already run near the penalty area.

It turned out that Melchiot, who had just been knocked down by Duff, was lying on the ground and couldn't get up.

Chelsea's team doctor has already entered the stadium.

"What the hell is going on, let's watch the replay."

On Duff's second spike.Melchiot also made a sudden stop and turned.Duff is intentional, Melchiot is passive.So at that moment Melchiot's supporting foot was not able to turn the corner.From the screen, it can be clearly seen that Melchiot's supporting leg was twisted directly because he couldn't turn it around.

After that, Melchiot never stood up again.

"This kind of injury can be big or small. If it's a minor injury, it's almost enough to take care of it for a week and a half. But if there are many problems, then you may have to rest for several months, maybe even half a year or a season. Hope nothing big happens."

Melchiot fell, and the celebration of the Sunderland players came to an abrupt end.

Although a goal has been scored, you can't watch the opponent's player get injured and continue to celebrate there.

Vialli was angry on the sidelines.

Losing the ball is enough to bother him.

Now that Melchiot is injured, it makes him even more troubled.

Melchiot is a player he is very optimistic about.Young and aggressive, but not rash at all.Young but very old.If you defend well, you can go up when you are attacking.

The Spanish international Ferrer, who was bought last season, does not have a good sense of position.

Not that he was bad.

But in Vialli's view, Ferrer is not suitable for the Premier League.I have been in La Liga for a long time.Unsuitable for the open and close style of play in the Premier League.The wing play in the Premier League is somewhat different from that in continental Europe.Ferrer mainly defends wide players who walk on the ground in La Liga.

But the Premier League is different.

Premier League wide players are not as strong as La Liga players.But they are fast.

A direct long pass to find the side, and the side player either takes the ball with speed, or passes directly.This made Ferrer very uncomfortable.

Therefore, Ferrer's performance at Chelsea has been very poor.Jean Vialli was very dissatisfied.

What about the main right back of the Spanish national team?

If the strength is not enough, it will be eliminated.

Ferrer's position in the Spanish national team was also replaced by Salgado.

It was because he was dissatisfied with Ferrer's performance that Vialli introduced Melchiot.

Unexpectedly, he was injured in the first game.

He anxiously waited for the team doctor's answer.

"How's it going."

Vialli looked at Melchiot who was carried out, and asked the team doctor.

Chelsea's team doctor looked serious.

Shaking his head at Vialli.Then he said to Vialli in a very low voice: "It's very serious. My preliminary estimate is that it will be difficult to play the game within three to four months. Of course, further inspections are needed. But if it is more serious than my estimate. Half a year, even ** months are possible."

"Three or four months? Half a year?"

Vialli lost his composure.

Can't play games for half a year, doesn't that mean this season is abolished?

It's August.It will be February in half a year.And after half a year of rest, it will take a long time to find the status.Well the season is over.

Vialli's face was a little livid.

Since Melchiot's injury, TV cameras have been capturing Vialli.Seeing Vialli's pale face, many people immediately knew that Melchiot's injury situation was not very optimistic.

"Melchiot is really unlucky. Today is his first official game for Chelsea. I didn't expect to be carried out on a stretcher after only playing for 3 minutes."

Martin Taylor shook his head.

The so-called unlucky should refer to this kind of time.

"Yes. You can tell from Vialli's expression that Melchiot's injury is serious."

Su Yun was also dumbfounded on the sidelines.

Melchiot was so unlucky.

That's it?

Everyone was stunned.

There are not a few players who end up injured after the start.After all, anything can happen in a game.But it is really rare for a new player to get injured just 3 minutes after playing for a new team.

Melchiot didn't even have time to feel the pain.

He was lying on a stretcher and looked at the Stamford Bridge with nostalgia.

When I came to Chelsea from the Eredivisie.Melchiot was ambitious.Although Ajax is a giant in the Netherlands, the Eredivisie has completely declined since the Bosman Act.Even a top giant like Ajax can only be reduced to a player output club.

Regardless of history, Chelsea is not as good as Ajax.But the appeal now is completely over Ajax.

He is going to conquer the Premier League.

Unfortunately what is this?

3 minutes?

He only spent 3 minutes in the official game at Stamford Bridge.It can only be carried down on a stretcher.

And seeing the team doctor's face, Melchiot knew that his injury must be serious.

Melchiot was sad.

3 minute only.

His first show at Chelsea ended like this.

Really sad Melchiot.

…………

Soon Vial replaced Melchiot with Ferrer.

Now is the opening 5 minutes, Vialli can only be forced to substitute.

"Ferrer came on. Chelsea can only make passive substitutions. Chelsea's luck is really bad. Melchiot's injury caught people off guard."

Melchiot Su Yun was not familiar with it.

His information, Su Yun, can only be known by learning about the Eredivisie League.But Ferrer was different.

Su Yun is very familiar with Ferrer.

This is a player with good skills at his feet and good defense at his feet.But it's not suitable for that kind of fast-paced, open-ended game.

Leading by one goal, Su Yun has more choices.

After Chelsea replaced Ferrer, Vialli kept gesturing from the sidelines to let Chelsea attack.

One goal behind at home is unacceptable for a strong team like Chelsea.Chelsea fans are also unlikely to accept.

Vialli therefore had only one choice.

It is offense.

He can't lose to Sunderland at home.

Unable to play on the side, Vialli chose to play in the middle.He has to pass the ball non-stop at the front of the penalty area and use the pass to create an opening.He still wanted to overcome Lucas Neal's reckless shortcomings.It's a pity that after one season, Lucas Neal has more experience than last season, and there are not many reckless cases.

In addition, Southgate's strength far exceeds Melville's.

Southgate was always able to help Lucas Neal block the gaps.So Chelsea's offense always fails to get in.

And because of the lack of wings, Chelsea's offense is concentrated in the center.

Let more and more people in the middle.

Couldn't find any contact points at all.Wise, Poyet, Zola and Sunderland's Williams, Robbie Savage and others are in the small space, and there is no room for you to pass the ball at all.

Instead, it is getting more and more crowded.

The game was a bit dull for a while.

But Su Yun on the sidelines likes this kind of scene.Only people all concentrated in the middle.Only then can we hit the sidewalk.

Su Yun suddenly felt that he could easily win this match. (to be continued..)
