Qin Xi didn't expect it.

Club tour of the Balkans.

Not only returned to the base with victory, but also fished a wave of high-quality word of mouth.

For a while, the world's sports media were amazed by Chelsea's fair play spirit.

No one will deal with those rumors from a few days ago.

After four rounds of the Champions League group stage, the team reached the last 16, which also paved the way for the next rotation.

But just three days after the Red Star, Chelsea had to face Tottenham Hotspur at home.

The other team in North London also has a special meaning for Qin Xi.

After all, when he first arrived, he was crowned the best player in China.

Even if he has not yet won in the national team, his evaluation has been discussed by major Asian media.

Tottenham Hotspur in north London has some of the best players in Asia so far.

Sun Xingmin.

Last season's Premier League Golden Boot, Europe's hottest striker.

Tottenham's coach and former Chelsea manager Antonio Conte is also known for his strong tactical adaptability.

Tottenham are currently fourth in the Premier League table, seven points away from Chelsea at the top.

However, due to a one-day delay in Belgrade in midweek, the physical condition of the team was worrying.

The good news is that the players are almost all healthy, which gives Tuchel more options.

........

During Saturday's training session, Tuchel laid out his tactics in detail.

Unlike strong teams like Manchester City and Liverpool, Tottenham's main tactic is not to press the game.

So how to deal with their counter-attack has become a question for Tuchel to consider.

Son Heung-min and Harry Kane are the best attacking combinations in the Premier League.

Who to keep an eye on the two of them also sets Tuchel a difficult question.

In the training session, Qin Xi's state was not outstanding.

After all, in two away games, he has played almost all the matches, and his physical condition is worrying.

However, Qin Xi did not want to miss the opportunity to face off with Sun Xingmin.

.......

The

Times made headlines on Sunday morning.

Qin Xi was excited.

Although at this time he is not comparable to Son Heung-min, who has proven himself in the Premier League.

But when he came to Japan, no one knew where the achievements of the Chinese midfielder would be fixed.

London derby, on the verge of Stamford Bridge.

I don't know when it started, Tottenham and Chelsea have forged a deep bond.

So much so that Tottenham chairman Levy once threatened, "None of our bacteria will be sold to Chelsea." "

So even if it's home to Chelsea.

Tottenham fans are still shouting loudly from the sidelines.

They didn't buy the Blues' news a few days ago.

For them, Chelsea's trip to Belgrade was like a show.

Qin Xi is still in the starting line-up and will be paired with Jorginho.

Long-lost teammates, long-lost combinations.

Tottenham Hotspur fielded their strongest squad.

Shortly after the start of the game, Tottenham Hotspur demonstrated the skillful cooperation of Son Heung-min and Kane.

Kane pulled back to get the ball and shoved it straight to Son Heung-min.

The latter got his foot on the edge of the box and fortunately Mendy reacted quickly to save the ball off the line.

This shot also sounded the alarm for Chelsea's defence.

Qin Xi is responsible for cutting off the connection between Sun and Kai, but this is undoubtedly a world-type problem.

"Qin Xi, you stick to Kane, I will find a way to appear on his passing line. "Jorginho felt the pressure from his teammates.

"Okay, Wakatori, I'm glad you're finally back. "Qin Xi admires Jorginho's experience, he is the only player in the Chelsea squad to finish in the top three of the Ballon d'Or.

But although it is simple, it is not easy to keep an eye on Kane and Son Heung-min.

With the help of the top three centre-backs in the box, Chelsea managed to control the back.

This wave of high-pressure pressing in the opening game also made Tottenham Hotspur team physically exerting.

After 15 minutes, they also lowered their posture.

Chelsea gradually took over control of the midfield.

The front court trident Havertz, Mount and Timo Werner cooperate very tacitly.

Plus the escort of Qin Xi and Jorginho.

In the 28th minute, Chelsea finally broke the deadlock.

It was still Kai Havertz who scored.

German youngster, in hot form.

The goal was made possible thanks to the trident up front, with Mason Mount assisting and Kai Havertz scoring.

After conceding the goal, Tottenham looked a little impatient.

If they lose points again in this round, they will be overtaken by Arsenal behind them.

After all, they also played a Champions League game in midweek, and Tottenham's fitness is not ideal.

In the 42nd minute of the game, Tottenham defender Dyer tackled Mount from behind and Chelsea were awarded a free-kick opportunity.

This position is about 35 meters from the goal, and it is still a bit difficult to hit the goal directly.

At present, there are only a handful of players in the Chelsea squad who are good at taking free kicks.

James stood in front of the free-kick and motioned for his teammates to enter the box.

The tall Qin Xi stood next to the opposing defender Romero.

With a free kick, Romero takes the lead and clears the ball.

Without taking advantage, Qin Xi could only grit his teeth and return to the backfield.

Instead, Son Heung-min gradually found his form at the end of the first half of the game.

After all, Qin Xi and Jorginho are slower, while the nimble South Koreans used a beautiful man-to-man ball to overtake Jorginho's defensive position.

Fortunately, Qin Xi assisted in defending in time and destroyed the ball with Torres.

After this beautiful relief, the Chelsea fans on the sidelines stood up and applauded the club's No.13.

The game ended at half-time and the score was fixed at 1:0.

Back in the dressing room, Tuchel made a difficult decision.

He planned to replace Qin Xi.

"Coach, there is no problem with my physical condition. "The Hua midfielder didn't understand.

"Listen to me kid, you've done a good job, and it's tactical reasons to replace you.

Qin Xi could only do so, but he did not return to the bathroom to take a shower in advance, but listened intently to the coach's deployment.

Even though his half-game is over, the team still has 45 minutes to give their best.

Tuchel sent Ngoro and Gallagher on the pitch to replace Qinxi and Mount.

......

"The coach is here to protect you. Sitting

on the bench, Kovacic on the side said to the two players who had just left the pitch.

"Protection?" asked Qin Xi.

"Yes, you are playing against Tottenham for the first time and they will definitely be big in the second half. Mount quickly echoed.

Before the words fell, the whistle sounded on the field.

Ngoro, who had just come on the field, fell to the ground.

Painful expression.
