As Huang Kaiwen sang the first line, Stamford Bridge erupted into a full stadium singalong.
Queen is a British band.
Almost every Brit can hum their songs.
Performing Queen’s songs live also made the British fans very happy.
Everyone in the stands was shouting at the top of their lungs.
Huang Kaiwen’s singing was only slightly better than a karaoke level, but that didn’t matter.
His confident and passionate stage presence made Chelsea fans even more fervent.
The song started to spread across West London.
"We will, we will rock you, We will, we will rock you..."
As the final line ended.
The fans shared knowing smiles.
But the band didn’t give them any rest; the intro again resounded.
Stamford Bridge was plunged into absolute frenzy!
No English song is more suited to the green pitch, more suited to a player performing it.
Like a gentle stream, the lyrics resurfaced, a few lines later, suddenly bursting with passion.
"But I’ve fought through it all, I’m going to keep going. We are the champions, my friends. We will keep fighting till the end, We are champions, We are champions..."
Stamford Bridge Stadium.
More than 42,000 people, loudly singing along over and over.
"...We are champions, We are champions."
As the final line ended, Huang Kaiwen raised his right hand, holding the microphone in his left and shouted, "Next, join together to support the team, support my teammates and me, let us win all the championships!!!"
Cheers mixed with all types of screams sounded again.
The atmosphere was more than ten times more heated than before.
Huang Kaiwen headed directly back to the tunnel, took his jersey from the staff.
Then returned to the locker room.
It’s still too early for warm-up.
Commentator Martin Taylor said with a laugh, "Today’s introduction ceremony was really good, Kevin easily stirred up the fans’ emotions, and the song he chose was very fitting, but he should know, the Premier League is a very tough league."
"Yes, not having a winter break alone makes it difficult for players from other leagues to adapt, an additional domestic cup also tests a player’s stamina. Winning all championships in the Premier League isn’t as simple as in other leagues."
His partner Andy Gray nodded.
"Joe Hart wasn’t wrong; many players can’t adapt to the intense competition and pace of the Premier League, but Kevin’s skills are indeed outstanding; he might not find his shooting boots today, but setting up assists for teammates is good too."
Pre-match press conference.
Today’s match was dubbed the Money Battle.
The proud Brits didn’t think there was any difference between the White Turban and Abramovich.
After all, Russians aren’t Europeans, nor are the White Turbans Europeans, and those poor people from Eastern Europe aren’t Europeans either.
Manchester City’s manager is former Manchester United captain Mark Hughes, who played for Chelsea in the later stages of his career.
Mark Hughes said, "I know Chelsea has become much stronger than when I played, but Manchester City is different now, they found me to coach City for this reason. Today’s game might be challenging, but we are prepared."
A black suit-clad Mourinho.
The press conference room quieted down before he began speaking, "Our previous draw with Tottenham has nothing to do with Kevin starting today, I reiterate, Chelsea will not overly rely on any individual player."
The journalists nodded along.
Let’s see what you say later.
"John, tell us about Kevin!"
"Yes, tell us about Kevin during training."
Chelsea captain Terry spoke, "I don’t know how to put it, Kevin has only been training with us for a few days, but you have to admit, some people just look stronger than you all, even when they’re not trying."
"So, you mean Kevin is better than each of you?"
Terry nodded and said, "Although saying this is embarrassing, I must tell the truth. During training, Kevin got past all the defensive players, he turned and dribbled past us again, we had no solution, if he hadn’t stopped himself, I think he could keep getting past us repeatedly."
"How’s your relationship with Kevin? Van Nistelrooy always said Kevin is difficult to get along with."
"That’s nonsense." Terry shook his head and said, "Kevin is more easygoing than typical stars."
"Alright, today’s press conference ends here, he still needs to warm up."
Mourinho stood up and said.
Terry nodded and left with him.
"During warm-up, Kevin’s condition looked really good."
Martin Taylor said. "Yes, but these flashy tricks might not work in the Premier League."
"Both teams have completed their warm-ups, let’s look at the starting lineups."
Chelsea 442 diamond midfield:
Defenders: Ashley Cole, Carvalho, Terry, Bosingwa,
Midfielders: Huang Kaiwen, Ballack, Deco, Joe Cole,
Forwards: Malouda, Huntelaar.
Manchester City 433 with double defensive midfielders:
Goalkeeper: Joe Hart,
Defenders: Michael Ball, Micah Richards, Kompany, Zabaleta,
Midfielders: David Dunn, Dietmar Hamann, Stephen Ireland,
Forwards: Wright-Phillips, Jo, Robinho.
"Drogba not starting shows Mourinho doesn’t really consider Manchester City as a major threat."
"Robinho was Kevin’s teammate at Real Madrid, this player is also the fourth most expensive transfer this summer, and all top four are connected to Real Madrid."
