The 2-0 home victory over Manchester United allowed Chelsea to defend the league leader again, and also triggered a new round of hype in the British media.

Especially in this game, Gao Han rotated the team's midfielder and let Joe Kohl replace Deco to start. The result was very good, and his overall strength did not decline at all, which surprised and appreciated all British media.

The British Times put the photo of Gao Han holding his fists and clenching his hands after the game on his front page cover, and attached a powerful title, the revolutionary declaration of the insurrectionists!

According to the report, Manchester United has always been regarded as a role model in the Premier League, winning the championship eight times in ten years and having an amazing resume.

But this season Chelsea is like a revolutionary. Gao Han not only brings more advanced technical and tactical styles, but also steadily surpasses traditional giants Manchester United and Arsenal in terms of performance.

In the two games facing the suppression of traditional giants, Chelsea delivered a nearly perfect answer, attracting more and more fans and people's hearts to themselves, and excited all fans who are tired of the dull situation in the Premier League.

In the strong dialogue, Gao Han used iron-like facts to tell everyone that Chelsea will completely subvert the traditional situation in the Premier League.

At the same time, the Times also published a sentence that Gao Han said at the post-match press conference.

"Beating Manchester United is more meaningful than leading the standings, because in the Premier League, everyone knows what it means to beat Manchester United. Although the league has not been halfway through, this game will profoundly affect the Premier League trend this season."

But the Times also published Ferguson's counterattack at the post-match press conference.

"It's just now entering December. Yes, Chelsea's lead is obvious, but I think it's too early to talk about winning the championship. If they can still maintain their current lead in March next year, then I will consider admitting that they have the ability to win the championship."

According to the Times, Ferguson's meaning is very obvious, and the winter break is a difficult problem for all Premier League teams.

If Chelsea wants to win the championship, they can, but they have to pass the winter break devil schedule first.

Gao Han responded in a low-key manner to this, and no matter how much he said it, it would be meaningless. The key is to prove it with actual achievements.

After the 14th round of the Premier League, Chelsea still leads the standings, with Arsenal and Manchester United following closely, and it is basically difficult for other teams to shake the positions of these three teams.

In this round, Arsenal drew with Fulham 0-0 at home, and Henry once again encountered a goal drought.

Looking at the entire game, the Gunners' performance was indeed very sluggish and they did not perform too well.

On the contrary, although Manchester United lost the ball on the court, they ushered in a great harvest outside the court.

The day after playing Chelsea, the Red Devils officially announced that they had signed a brand new sponsorship contract with sponsor Vodafone, with a sponsorship fee of up to 40 million pounds, which is the largest sponsorship fee in the history of the Premier League.

The Red Devils Manchester United once again defended their position as a club that was successful in European business operations, allowing everyone to see the business operation capabilities of the Red Devils Empire.

On the same day, Manchester United CEO David Gill also announced that American tycoon Malcolm Glazer further increased his stake in the club, which made many media speculate that Glazer is interested in acquiring Manchester United, but David Gill denied it, believing that this is just an ordinary deal.

Both news completely covered up Manchester United's defeat on the court, making everyone clearly realize that failure on the court will not stop Manchester United's success off the court, and the Red Devils Manchester United are still the most successful club in European football.

Three days after the 14th round, Chelsea ushered in the quarterfinals of the League Cup and challenged Reading in the League One away game.

The team's style is relatively rough, but Gao Han still arranged for young players and substitutes to play. In the end, he successfully defeated his opponent 3-0 away, and all three goals occurred in the second half.

On the weekend, in the 15th round of the Premier League, Chelsea went north and challenged Leeds United away.

This young guards, which once swept across Europe in the past, are currently ranked at the bottom and perform quite sluggishly.

Chelsea almost effortlessly defeated their opponents 2-0 away, with Ibrahimovic and Etoo scoring one after another.

Manchester United quickly got out of the shadow of Stamford Bridge's loss, defeating Aston Villa four to zero at home.

Arsenal continued to encounter a draw, drew Leicester City 1-1 away, and Henry continued to score a goal drought.

Newcastle drew with Liverpool 1-1 at home in this round, and center Hiller scored another goal, completely counterattacking Henry and topped the scorer list.

Arsenal finally got out of the embarrassment of unsuccessful victory, defeating Blackburn 1-0, and the goal scorer was Borgkamp.

In the middle of the week, Chelsea went to Birmingham to challenge Aston Villa away, which was the knockout match of the League Cup quarterfinals.

The Blues, who are still playing in the substitute and the young player lineup, conceded one goal away, but then scored two goals in a row, reversing Aston Villa without a risk, and successfully advanced to the semi-finals two-to-one.

Arsenal, Middlesbrough and Bolton are also entering the semi-finals.

On the weekend, the 17th round of the Premier League, the last round before Christmas, Chelsea challenged Fulham away.

Gao Han's team encountered a tenacious sniper from the same city team. Although he had an advantage in the previous hour, he never found a way to break through the Fulham goal. In the 63rd minute, with an attack from Etoo, he defeated Fulham 1-0.

With the goal in this game, Etoo also scored eleven goals in the Premier League this season, only one step away from Henry's twelve goals.

The Gunners drew Bolton one-to-one in this round, and Henry's goal drought continues.

After this round, Alan Hiller ranked first in the scorer list with fifteen league goals. Manchester United's Van Nistruei scored thirteen goals, ranking second, Henry ranked third with twelve goals, and Etoo scored eleven goals in fourth.

Ibrahimovic scored eight goals and tied with three other players including Irving.

After the seventeenth round, Christmas is coming.

Since last year, most European football players have begun to tighten their pockets and have to pay attention to every penny. Even the annual Christmas carnival has begun to shrink significantly, or even cancel directly.

According to the tradition of the Premier League, in order to avoid the Christmas devil schedule, Christmas parties should be held in advance.

But I don’t know if the management lacked experience in this area because it was the first time that the team took over the team, and there was no movement in this area. It was not until before Christmas that the team was temporarily notified that there was no party this year.

This made everyone in Harrington feel disappointed.

If you don’t have the usual performance and financial difficulties, it’s fine if you don’t hold it. Now you are the leader of the Premier League. It’s a bit unreasonable to rely on the wealthy Russian boss.

At least, Tottenham Hotspur in North London has already been held, and Arsenal also held a Christmas dinner in advance. Only Chelsea has nothing, and it is deserted, which makes the players feel disappointed.

According to Gao Han's original arrangement, he was preparing to invite the coaching staff members and their families to have a Christmas dinner. After all, they have helped him a lot over the past few years.

But now, seeing that the players were not yet settled, they simply waved their hands and took a holiday on Christmas Day, and invited all the players, his family and children to attend his Christmas party in advance.

As for the location, it is arranged in a new high-end Chinese restaurant located in the south of Hyde Park and not long ago.

Gao Han's invitation was immediately appreciated by all the players. After receiving the invitation text message, everyone came to this high-end Chinese restaurant on time to attend the head coach's Christmas party the next day, that is, on Christmas Day.

At first, they didn't feel anything, but when they heard the waiter in the store politely calling Gao Han the boss and freeing up the entire second floor to decorate a Christmas party for them, they suddenly realized.

It turns out that this Chinese restaurant is named after the high and cold han.

After being discovered, Gao Han was not afraid to admit it honestly. He was indeed one of the owners of this Chinese restaurant. His partner was a top chef in a very famous restaurant chain in China. He was very familiar with Lin Xia's family and had always been interested in starting a business by himself. Gao Han also had a good impression of him and was able to negotiate, so he invested in and asked him to use his name.

But the Chinese translation is, Chinese.

This restaurant is located in the south of Hyde Park. It has a good environment and is decorated and designed by famous domestic artists. It has a very traditional Chinese flavor and a high style. Even the furnishings, tables, chairs and tableware are traditional Chinese, but it also adds a lot of Western food flavors, such as bars, open kitchens, etc., which look very Chinese and Western.

For Gao Han, investing in a restaurant is nothing, and he cares a lot whether he can make money, so he doesn’t care about business. He basically leaves it to his friends to take care of his partners, and even if there is something wrong, Lin Xia will come to take a look.

The Chinese restaurant has just opened not long ago, and the business is relatively average. In addition, Christmas is the reason, so there are fewer customers.

But Gao Han treats and Chelsea holds a Christmas party, which naturally attracts British media reporters to follow.

They all know that there are always some things happening in the Christmas party in the Premier League every year, and there are even some explosive scandals.

Seeing that they had worked hard, Gao Han kept squatting outside the restaurant gate, so he was so proud that he asked the hotel waiter to invite them all in and have a sumptuous dinner.

Such an open and honest way of letting the reporters participate makes the ulterior motives feel ashamed and embarrassed to dig out any inside information. In fact, there is really no strong information to shoot.

The only thing that is more eye-catching in the game is Gao Han’s Christmas greetings. He encouraged all Chelsea players to be cautious and continue to work hard, not only to win the Premier League championship this season, but also to win as many cup championships as possible.

"Not only this season, but next season, and the Champions League, we all work together and work together to strive forward. I firmly believe that no one can stop us!"

Gao Han's bold words also received unanimous support and response from most players in the game.

In the end, the Chelsea players asked a familiar reporter to take a group photo for them. Everyone surrounded Gao Han in the middle, showing the atmosphere of unity within the team.

Gao Han even joked that he wanted to enlarge the photo and hang it on the wall of his office.
