Two days passed.
After news broke that Li Luo had rejoined the squad, the major media outlets across Great Britain began building up the imminent Premier League showdown.
"Conte: Chelsea fear no opponent, including Manchester United."
"David Luiz: Chelsea lost to Li Luo last season? That was because I wasn't there."
"The Guardian column: How can Chelsea defend against Li Luo's Free Kick Kaleidoscope? A look back at his free-kick hat-trick that demolished Chelsea last season."
"The Times: Ten minutes to understand just how strong Conte's Chelsea are this season."
"Kicker: Ancelotti's 'donut' will counter Conte's three-centre-back Chelsea."
"La Gazzetta dello Sport: Ancelotti-'Li, leave this one to me. I'll take on Conte!'"
"The Sun: Nothing beyond friendship happened between Li Luo and German girl Erika. He remained innocent in China; the flames between them will ignite in Munich."

-[What does the donut system mean? Can someone explain?]
-[Ancelotti improved on Van Gaal's big circle system. Basically, the big circle is a 'chain of circulating passes,' while the donut wraps explosives inside that chain.]

-[Kanté and Matic as a double pivot-who can handle that? Even De Bruyne was shut down the last time he played Chelsea.]
-[Holy shit, the Kanté from Leicester City who had that epic showdown with Li Luo last season? He joined Chelsea this season?]
-[You've got it wrong. Why are Chelsea so strong? Because they're only fighting on one front!!! They don't have to play in the UEFA Champions League!]
-[So that's it! Everything makes sense now!]
-[Guys, listen to me. This match will be incredibly difficult, every bit as intense as Manchester United's recent Champions League quarterfinal against Real Madrid.]
