Chapter 82: The Dawn of the Champions League Final!

"Diego Costa stands in front of the ball!"

"He's up against Cech!!"

Duan Xuan's somewhat nervous voice came, which made the hearts of countless fans watching this game in front of the TV also tug.

Not to mention the fans, even the players on the pitch couldn't bear the pressure of the penalty. Torres crouched on the ground with his back to the Chelsea goal – he didn't even dare to look for a penalty.

The biggest pressure at the moment was Diego Costa in front of the penalty spot and Cech on the goal line.

Diego Costa took a deep breath and started running.

He opted for a powerful volley into the bottom right corner, and even though Cech had the ball in the right direction, it couldn't stop such a powerful shot.

"Penalty scored!! Atletico Madrid took it 2-1!! This goal was the goal that decided almost the entire game. ”

"Just look at Simeone's frantic celebrations on the sidelines and you can see what the goal means – it means that in the next game, as long as Atletico don't let Chelsea score twice, Atletico Madrid will advance!!"

When Atletico Madrid was celebrating wildly, Mourinho on the other side was very calm.

Jose Mourinho has so much experience in charge that he has never seen any storms and waves, and the team is now one goal behind, but it takes two goals to advance. As difficult as it is, it's not an insurmountable barrier.

When Diego Costa collapsed in the penalty area, the madman waved Demba Ba to warm up!

When Diego Costa scored the penalty, Mourinho signalled for a substitution.

Jose Mourinho is so calm and terrible in the face of adversity, he is a real fighter.

After Atletico Madrid finished celebrating, Chelsea also made a substitution!

Demba Ba replaces Torres!

Demba Ba is a high-impact striker, and Mourinho is also going to play a simple game.

After seeing Chelsea's substitutions made, Simeone also responded quickly, and he immediately asked Raul Garcia, who was sitting on the bench, to warm up!

Chelsea were quick to attack after the substitutions, pressing all over the board in an attempt to equalise as soon as possible.

However, Atletico Madrid did not press back into the penalty area, but began to encircle Chelsea in midfield, which is what Atletico Madrid does best.

Forced by Atletico Madrid, Chelsea were forced to play long balls.

It stands to reason that the English team should be very good at long pass and sling, after all, they invented it.

But now most of the Premier League teams are transitioning to technical streams, and there are fewer and fewer teams that stick to traditional English football, and most of them have poor results and can only be ranked in the middle and lower reaches.

Some people even attribute the poor results in England's major competitions to this - in England's huge football system, almost all the lower teams are typically English style of play, but at the top of the pyramid, the top teams in England are all playing with technical flow, so that the pedestal of English football is decoupled from their top professional teams - the players produced by grassroots clubs are not well adapted to the style of play of those top Premier League teams.

Jose Mourinho's Chelsea style is tough, with the likes of John Terry, Gary Cahill and David Luiz as strong centre-backs, and they have a very hard frontal defence.

However, their strikers do not have the traditional English big center forward, and even the physically strong Demba Ba is not particularly good at this kind of long-pass rushing British play, he is more likely to score through his speed and ability at his feet.

Needless to say, Eden Hazard, Willian and Samuel Eto'o, they are not tall and have good skills. Samuel Eto'o, in particular, is known for his speed – hence his nickname "Cheetah".

So when Atletico force Chelsea to play long balls, it often means that their defence has been successful.

Li Qingshan is still full of fighting spirit, constantly pressing and harassing Chelsea's ball-handling players in the frontcourt.

He sensed his danger in the first leg against Chelsea – and when they limited his aerial superiority, he found he had no weapons left to handle.

When he felt this, Li Qingshan did not feel depressed, but was immediately filled with greater fighting spirit.

He's going to get stronger!! Become more comprehensive!! Get stronger!!

As soon as he stepped on the pitch, he gave his all.

He has a fanatical desire to score goals.

Li Qingshan's fanaticism also drove the players of Atletico Madrid, and they saw that even Li Qingshan, who was a center forward, was so hard at the front court, and they were naturally not to be outdone.

For a moment, Chelsea were completely unable to pass forward through the ground.

When the ball was passed back to the feet of Cech, Li Qingshan continued to rush up, not giving Cech time to adjust his observation.

In desperation, Chel had to hurriedly kick forward. Mistakes can be made in a hurry, and this time Cech's big foot was cut off by Thiago before he even crossed half-time.

Li Qingshan hurriedly retreated - he was now in an offside position.

When Li Qingshan withdrew, Thiago passed the ball.

Li Qingshan jumped up, but instead of heading the ball, he unloaded the football with his chest.

After using his body to protect the football, he passes it to his teammates.

It's much more steady than using his head directly, and it's not easy for the opponent to guess his intentions - who he passes back with his header is basically known to everyone - the pass of the header is very difficult, so he will definitely give the ball to those teammates who are easier to pass, and the teammates who are better positioned will naturally become the focus of the opponent's attention.

Passing with your feet is different, and there are more possibilities with your feet.

He passed the ball to Gabi and then turned and ran straight ahead.

And Gabi quickly stuffed the football over!

A simple return pass gave Li Qingshan a chance to face the goal.

Li Qingshan didn't touch the ball twice, but when the football rolled to his feet, he suddenly came with a long shot!

Petr Cech made a flying save and got the ball off the line.

Corner kick!!

Chelsea, who had already changed two people at the beginning of the second half, did not play a threatening attack, but Atletico Madrid kept creating chances on goal!

I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet. When Li Qingshan received a corner kick from Cork and jumped high in the air, Cech, who had already saved Chelsea several times, had no choice but to do so.

"Pretty !!!!!!!!!"

"Iconic header !!!!!!!!!"

'Atletico Madrid lead Chelsea 3-1 away !!!'

"In this crucial match, Atletico have seen the light of day! Chelsea must score three goals to turn the game around!! ”

After the goal, Li Qingshan stood in place, stretched out his arms, and enjoyed the piercing boos on the scene with some intoxication.

What a beautiful sound...............

Jose Mourinho's eyes widened, looking at everything on the pitch somewhat unconcernedly. His heart was already in a bit of a trance at the moment, and he didn't even have time to care about Simone, who was running past him......

Simeone ran wildly in Stamford Bridge like this, and under the watchful eyes of the Chelsea fans at the scene, the fierce Simeone ran directly for more than 50 meters, facing the boos and curses of countless Chelsea fans in the corner flag area, clenched his fists and roared in celebration!
