Chapter 71: The first round ends

"Willian took the ball forward, his speed was already fully up!"

"Now there are only two Atletico defenders left in front of him: Felipe and Juanfrán! And Atletico Madrid's two central defenders are still up front and haven't been able to come back! ”

"Torres is pulling in the run, two-on-two! Great chance for Chelsea to counter-attack! ”

Atletico Madrid's players chased back frantically, but in the face of Willian, who was already fully speeded, before they could catch up, Willian had already dribbled the ball to the outside of the penalty line.

Juanfran fought and retreated, he didn't dare to grab easily - if he was passed, William would be directly facing the goalkeeper's single knife!

Willian had slowed down slightly by the time he dribbled to the penalty line, and he had to make a choice right away – Atletico's defenders were almost back!

He didn't want to waste such a great opportunity, he made a series of feints with his left and right feet, confusing Juanfran, and then leaned his weight to the right!

Incision?!

Juanfran made a split second judgment, and then he leaned in which direction he leaned his weight.......

Bottom !!!!!!

After Juan Fran tilted his center of gravity, he was horrified to find that he had been deceived by William's feints!

William buckled with his right foot and buckled Juan Fran, who had already handed over his center of gravity!!

Courtois opened his arms and lowered his center of gravity to seal the near corner, and pressed towards Willian, who now had a small angle.

But the Brazilian didn't even think about shooting himself, as he got past Juanfran and crossed straight to Torres, who was cutting in at the back post.

This ball went over Felipe's interception!

"Empty Door !!!!!!"

Torres cut in at high speed and fell to the ground to shoot!!

This is an empty opportunity, and the Atletico fans at the scene are already in despair, they know Torres' ability best, and in the face of such an opportunity, the Spanish golden boy will never let it go.

The ball smashes on Torres' feet and flies towards the goal!

"Oh.........."

Atletico Madrid's fans collectively let out a voice of rejoicing, in the face of this empty goal, Torres's shot actually hit the post!

The frightened Courtois pressed the ball under him, and from the violent rise and fall of his chest, you could tell how nervous he was about the ball just now!

"Torres wasted an empty goal!! Atletico Madrid escaped!! ”

'But Chelsea didn't just get away with it. Li Qingshan's header from close range was blocked by Cech on the crossbar, and then Chelsea had a chance to counter-attack, Torres actually kicked the ball on the post in the face of an empty goal, and it has to be said that both teams had good luck in this round........ Now the score is still 0-0! ”

Jose Mourinho was very emotional about Torres' empty goal this time, and when he saw the football hit the post, he turned his back to the pitch angrily, and the words came out of his mouth.....

Torres lay on the grass in a bit of confusion until William reached out and pulled him up.

The Spanish golden boy has lost himself more and more at Chelsea, with a high number of low-level mistakes and empty nets taking a huge toll on his self-confidence. The confidence of the past is hard to see in his face...........

At this time, the TV replay showed Li Qingshan's powerful header from close range, and Cech reacted extremely quickly, reaching out to block and bounce back off the crossbar, followed by Willian's high-speed rush to Torres to strike an empty goal from close range.

This series of shots takes place in the blink of an eye. When the camera locked on Cech, it was already clear to the audience that Cech was the key figure in the attack - if it weren't for Cech's quick reaction, Chelsea would have fallen behind at this moment, and there would have been a counterattack later.

"Mourinho will have a happy worry next season, now the two goalkeepers of both teams, will play under Mourinho next season, now Atletico Madrid's goalkeeper Courtois is Chelsea on loan to Atletico Madrid, he has performed quite well in Atletico this season, not weaker than Cech half a point at all, next season Mourinho has made it clear that Courtois will play for the Chelsea first team after the end of the loan period. And look at the performance of Cech during this period, although Cech is 32 years old, but this age is the peak of goalkeepers, who of the two world-class goalkeepers would want to sit on the bench? ”

Indeed, both goalkeepers are very capable goalkeepers. What are some of the most tragic professions in the world? The substitute goalkeeper definitely has a chance to make the cut.

Aside from die-hard Bayern fans, will you remember who the Lion King Kahn's backup was?

Do you know what goalkeepers Buffon has been used as a substitute?

Many of the back-up goalkeepers have not even had many opportunities to play for the team in their entire careers........

Would you let Petr Cech be the back-up goalkeeper?

I believe that not many teams have the confidence to put a goalkeeper like Petr Cech on the bench to waste their time. Since his move to the Blues in 2004, Cech has been Chelsea's first choice on the goalline, especially since the arrival of Jose Mourinho, when Chelsea's original first-choice goalkeeper Carlo Kudinic completely lost his position, and Cech has been goalkeeper for the Blues until now.

He is tall, has incredible quick reflexes, and is very confident when attacking, and is a door god with a strong aura. And the helmet he wears on his head makes him very recognizable on the court.

And the 32-year-old Cech is at the peak of his career at the moment.

As for Thibaut Courtois, the young Belgian goalkeeper is only 22 years old this year, but he has already shown the style of a general, he does not look like a 22-year-old goalkeeper on the pitch at all, and he has shown enough ability for him to compete for the first goalkeeper position in any team in Europe.

Thibaut Courtois, who is on the rise, is also clearly reluctant to substitute for Cech.

The drama in the Chelsea goalkeeper position next season will have to worry Mourinho.

When the first half ended, the score was still 0-0, and Atletico's shots were cleared by Cech one by one.

After the start of the second half, neither side opted for substitutions. Petr Cech was in very good form for the game, as he made a high block and kept Atletico open in succession.

When Li Qingshan's long-range shot from the periphery was saved by Cech again, even Simeone, who was on the sidelines, couldn't help but scold his mother.

The most scary thing about the game is that you can create chances, you can even create chances continuously, but you just can't score goals - the opposing goalkeeper is really brave.

That's typical of a team with a good goalkeeper in the top half, and if it weren't for Cech on the goalline, Chelsea would have conceded a goal by now......

Petr Cech got up and shouted with a fist after saving the ball, boosting the morale of the Chelsea defence, and Atletico's ensuing corner was also headed high by Li Qingshan.....

Atletico Madrid's luck wasn't really good today.

In the 60th minute of the game, Diego Costa received Li Qingshan's header and shot angrily from the edge of the penalty area, and the Czech goalkeeper made another wonderful save and jumped up to lift the ball off the crossbar.

In the 64th minute, Li Qingshan took the ball with his back, resisted the impact of Terry and completed the turn, and shot slightly off the target.

But then John Terry sat on the grass – he did his best against Li Qingshan today, which wasn't easy for the England veteran.

Then the team doctor entered the field and made a substitution gesture after a little examination. John Terry suffered a sprained left ankle and couldn't continue the game, so Schurrle came on for John Terry and David Luiz dropped back to central defence.

Atletico also began to make substitutions, and in the 60th minute, Alda Turan replaced Diego.

It's just that Atletico Madrid were unlucky to score in this game, and their repeated attacks were denied by Cech one by one.

In the final moments of the game, the new Alda Turan was about to shoot on the edge of the penalty area and was tackled to the ground by Frank Lampard, who was shown a yellow card, and Lampard, who was suspended after accumulating yellow cards, will miss the second leg of the match between the two sides.

By this time, the game had reached the 93rd minute, but when Atletico's free-kick was saved by Petr Cech again, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game. [.]
