Chapter Seventy-Six: Knocking on the Mountain and Shaking the Tiger

At the beginning of the race, the rain did not decrease, and even became heavier.

The drainage at Stamford Bridge is very good and there is no problem of water accumulation on the pitch for the time being, but in such heavy rain, the strength and accuracy of the pass is a test for the players.

After kick-off, Diego Costa flicked back to Koke and the ball rolled on the grass much slower than usual, leaving him with a menacing Chelsea player on the verge of receiving the ball.

In order to cope with the resistance of the soccer ball running on the grass in the rain, he used much more force than usual, and as a result, the ball jumped on the grass and the soccer ball in the air became fast. Let Godin, who received the ball at the back, stop the ball and stop his hands.

At this time, Torres had already rushed up, and Godin had no choice but to look at the situation in front of him, so he could only kick forward blindly. In such a rainy situation, try not to let the football linger too long in your own half.

After completing the serve, Li Qingshan began to run forward, as a center, he was naturally the one at the front. He looked behind him as he ran.

When he saw Godin kick forward, he suddenly increased his speed - he already knew where the ball would land!

So when the Chelsea players reacted, Li Qingshan had already occupied the landing point in advance. Godin's casual clearance was equivalent to launching a long pass attack!

The surrounding Atletico players were already running around Li Qingshan, with Diego Costa slotting in from the left and stirring up the Chelsea defence, with Koke and Gabi cutting in front of the other side and smashing towards the heart of Chelsea.

They have taken most of the Chelsea defence with them, and it is Gary Cahill who is now in charge of keeping an eye on Li Qingshan – Terry's injury has not fully improved since the last leg and he is now playing with an injury.

Therefore, Li Qingshan's hard-fought confrontation can only be another central defender, Cahill. And to the right of Cahill, David Luiz also came to help defend!

Although Li Qingshan was unable to break through Chelsea's goal in the last leg, there is no doubt that Li Qingshan is the Atletico Madrid player who has brought the most pressure to Chelsea, so Li Qingshan is naturally the focus of Chelsea's defense in this game.

Cesar Azpilicueta, who played on the right side of midfield, did not press with Torres and Hazard at all after kicking off, but stayed in his own half, so he can now be involved in the defense of the penalty area in time, and from the current situation, it seems that Chelsea have arranged manned all the Atletico players who have invaded their own danger zone.

Jose Mourinho started the game with as many as six defenders - in addition to the four at the back, David Luiz in central midfield and Cesar Azpilicueta in right midfield are both serious defenders, which shows how much Mourinho takes defence.

Li Qingshan faced the confrontation with Cahill relatively easily, and Cahill put far less pressure on him than Terry behind him. So he still has time to look around at his teammates' movements.

Mourinho's integration of the defense is really good, because Atletico Madrid does not have too many players at this time, if the ball is passed to the feet of the Atletico players in the danger zone, it is not a very good choice when the Chelsea players around them are close and the number is not dominant.

The raindrops fell, and some of them hit his eyes directly, so that he could only squint and observe the situation around him.

He decided to come on his own!

Godin's kick was high and floating, and it was unusually long in the air.

David Luiz tried to squeeze Li Qingshan away from the side, the Brazilian central defender has good physical fitness, but compared to Li Qingshan, it is nothing but nothing!

Li Qingshan saw the opportunity, strode forward directly, and pinned him behind him!

By the time David Luiz reacted, Li Qingshan had already padded the ball to the other side with his chest, and the football was unloaded.

The football passed through Li Qingshan's chest from the air and fell on the grass, and the grass that had been filled with water had become soft at this time, which was a good unloading pad. So when the ball fell to the grass, it was like it was sticking directly to the ground, and it didn't bounce at all.

Li Qingshan, who had been in England for almost a year, was prepared for this situation, and he deliberately unloaded the ball to this side. There were no Chelsea defenders on this side, and David Luiz and Gary Cahill were pinned down on the other side.

His next coherent moves are very fast! His shooting machine training in the past few months has not been in vain, stop-turn-shoot is like instinct, and the connection is very smooth.

Of course, there is a reason why he wants to be so fast - he wants to use this time difference to temporarily get rid of Cahill and Luiz's interference, if he doesn't move fast enough, the opponent will soon post up, and then the opportunity to shoot will be lost!

In order to shoot faster, Li Qingshan didn't even swing his thighs, but directly swung his calves a little after turning around. The strength of the calf muscles is naturally not as great as the strength of the thigh muscles, but the advantage is that the leg swing amplitude is small, and the shooting action can be completed quickly.

And even if Li Qingshan uses his calf muscles to drive the foot to shoot, the power he emits is not to be underestimated!

The soccer ball was stabbed on tiptoe, accelerated abruptly, jumped up from the grass, and flew towards the goal!

"Li Qingshan turned around and shot directly!!" Duan Xuan exclaimed!

Cech squinted his eyes at the flying football, his attention was very concentrated, and when Li Qingshan stopped the ball and turned around, he had a premonition that the opponent was going to shoot directly!

He didn't dare to lose his position, and when the ball flew towards goal, Cech made a save!

The ball is very fast, and poking the ball with your toes has such an effect that it can make the ball accelerate in an instant.

Cech struggled to get his hands out, stretching his body and trying to widen his defence.

The angle of the shot was too tricky, so when Chel plucked the ball out with the tip of his fingers, he put his hanging heart down.

It was only then that he felt the pain in the palm of his hand - the injury of this hand was not completely good, and the tip of his finger just now made some of his old injuries recur.

But he can't do that much now, because the next corner is Atletico Madrid. Cech gritted his teeth and stood up, shouting at Chelsea's defensive position from corners.

Koke's corner kick was not well controlled, and he was hugged into his arms by Cech at the front point, and Li Qingshan, who grabbed the front point, was also blown for a foul on the goalkeeper!

"As soon as the game started, Atletico Madrid launched a blitzkrieg, and Li Qingshan's shot forced Cech to make a wonderful save! Jose Mourinho's side are careless at home. 'As an England commentator, Andy Gray is naturally biased towards Chelsea's side.

"It seems that Li Qingshan has improved a lot compared to a year and a half ago, you must know that when he first entered our field of vision, he was just an amateur player who could only head the ball, but you look at the shot he just completed, the standard center forward turned and shot when he turned his back to the goal, in one go, very coherent!"

Due to the foul on Li Qingshan, Cech, who was about to launch a counterattack with a direct hand throw, could only put the ball on the ground, and he pressed down with both hands to signal the Chelsea defence to steady.

Li Qingshan's shot just now knocked on the mountain, causing the Chelsea back line to immediately sound the alarm.
