Chapter 592: Defeat is like a mountain
"Audience friends, welcome to the 2012-2013 (season, English FA Cup final!)
"I'm broadcasting live at Wembley Stadium right now!"
'The two sides are Southampton, who are currently second in the Premier League, Super Promoted Horses this season, and Chelsea, the Premier League's oldest powerhouse, who are currently fourth in the Premier League.
"Interestingly, both teams knocked out their rivals in the previous Europa League semi-finals to reach the Europa League final, which will be played in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, three days later!"
"So, today's game is seen by many fans as a preview of the Europa League final."
"But it's also a very big FA Cup title race!"
'Judging by the starting line-ups of both sides before the game, Southampton and Chelsea were all at their best!
……
'After the opening, Southampton quickly established the advantage and firmly controlled the midfield.
'Chelsea are keeping their formation tight and the Blues' strategy is clearly based on defence, but can Chelsea hold on against Southampton, who are known for their attacking prowess?
……
"Neymar appeared on the left side of the edge of the penalty area, Ibrahimovic passed the ball and hit the goal!"
'The ball hit the Chelsea player and bounced out, Toni Kroos, straight from distance!'
"Cech, Cech, Cech!"
"Oh my God, it's Southampton's third shot on goal in the opening five minutes, and it's all very high!"
'Chelsea are in jeopardy in front of goal, Zenden should hurry up and come up with an effective solution!'
……
"It's Neymar who takes the ball again, cuts inside to the middle, moves to the right with his big foot, Gareth Bale, crosses diagonally with his left foot into the box."
"Benatia grabbed the first point, cleared the ball with a header and went out of the box."
"James Rodriguez curling the ball, dangerous!"
"Benatia clears the ball with another header in front of the goal line!"
'Oh my God, there's a lot of noise in front of Chelsea, it's dangerous!'
……
'Southampton opened the game with a 10-minute bombardment and now it looks like they're starting to deliberately slow down.'
'Chelsea started the game well and held on despite the danger!'
'From the point of view of the game, we are all very strange, Chelsea's midfield is suppressed, Juan Mata is alone, why not the Oscars in this game?'
"It was previously revealed that Oscar has been sent off for the second team, and the specific reason has caused a lot of speculation among the media and fans."
"Some say it has something to do with Chelsea's previous accusation against Charlene Lahri, but then the abrupt drop of the charge."
……
'Southampton broke the ball and suddenly picked up the tempo.
"Javi Martinez, a long pass with a big foot directly at the back."
'Ibrahimovic stormed into the Chelsea box.
"One pick, pretty, turn, upside down golden hook, the ball goes in!!!!"
“goalllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!”
"Ibrahimovic!"
"Southampton opened the scoring in the 21st minute with a long pass from Xavi Martinez to Ibrahimovic, 1-0!"
"It's so beautiful, it's so wonderful!"
"That's the terrible strength of the Swedish centre-forward!"
"Ibrahimovic is like a crazy bull, three Chelsea players are around him, Terry and Benatia are dragging him alive, plus one Ivanovic, but he still can't stop the Swedish centre-forward!"
"It's so exciting, a subtle upside-down golden hook, Cech is quite good in this game, there is nothing you can do about it!"
"1-0, Southampton take the lead!"
"So handsome, Ibrahimovic!"
……
"With Ibrahimovic's goal just now, Southampton picked up the pace again and launched an attack."
"Here it is, the Southampton offensive is here again!"
"Toni Kroos got up front, picked up the ball, passed diagonally? Road. ”
Gareth Bale stopped the ball and scored again, and Danilo quickly cut in to answer.
"The two cooperated, it passed, Danilo, down to the bottom line, and suddenly knocked back!"
"Gareth Bale, on the right side of the box, diagonally with his left foot to the back post, Vidal, the ball goes in!!!"
“goalllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!”
'Oh my God, three minutes, just three minutes, Southampton have scored Chelsea again!'
Gareth Bale crossed diagonally from the right and Vidal cut in and headed a high ball into the top right corner.
'Cech looked very depressed, Branislav Ivanovic couldn't stop Vidal, and Chelsea's midfield couldn't keep up with the cunning Chilean midfielder!'
"2-0, Southampton have doubled the score again!"
'Chelsea have to wake up now!'
……
"Southampton scored two goals in one go, morale is high, continue to strengthen the attack!"
'It's another midfielder, Vidal and it's handed to Toni Kroos.
'The German himself took the ball forward and got into the 30-metre zone of Chelsea!'
"Mikel came up and defended, and Toni Kroos went straight behind him."
"Neymar plugged in quickly, no offside!"
"Terry tackles the ball on the ground, doesn't get it, mistakes!"
"Neymar formed a one-on-one, Cech attacked, knocked down Neymar, penalty !!"
"What, the referee said it wasn't a penalty?"
"Miscalculation, we look at it in slow motion, Cech did bring down Neymar, it was an indisputable penalty!"
"The referee not only did not give Southampton a penalty, but instead awarded Neymar a fake fall and gave a yellow card!"
"Oh my God, this vision is really terrifying!"
……
'The first half was about to end and Southampton broke the ball again in midfield and played a counter-attack.
'Ibrahimovic pulls it out, catches the ball and passes it to Dahl, who is coming in behind.
"Vidal was assigned to the middle and handed it to James Rodriguez!"
"A precise through ball, Neymar rushed into the penalty area, received the ball, stabbed it, and the ball went in the !!!!"
“goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!”
"In the 43rd minute, Southampton scored another crucial goal by Neymar!"
"Three to zero!"
"Southampton almost won the game in the first half!"
"The defeat is like a mountain, who would have thought that the two teams that should be evenly matched would show such a situation of defeat like a mountain!"
'In the face of Southampton's furious attack, Chelsea's defence looks so vulnerable!'
'From the very beginning of this game, both in possession and in the rhythm of the game, Southampton was completely in control, and Chelsea couldn't do anything about it!
"This is Chelsea's acting head coach Zenden, and he is more about letting everyone see how important a manager who can stabilize the morale of the army is to a strong team!"
"I believe that if the manager standing on the sidelines at this moment is Rafael Benitez, the Spaniards may not necessarily be able to beat Southampton, but they certainly won't let Chelsea suffer such a heavy defeat!"
'The starting tactics set out before the game were completely wrong and untargeted, and during the game, they didn't know how to adjust the team's tactics according to the situation, and Zenden should be responsible for Chelsea's first-half defeat!"
……
'After the restart of the second half, Chelsea looked a little bit withdrawn and the players were clearly lacking in morale.
"At halftime, Cendon didn't make too many changes to the team, just replaced David Luiz and replaced Mikel, also to strengthen the defense of the midfield, but the effect was not obvious."
'The Chelsea players are starting to lose confidence!'
'Southampton, on the other hand, played very patiently.
……
"Southampton got the ball again, Vidal dribbled forward and handed it to Neymar!"
"Hey, the Brazilian switched to the right, got the ball, and forced Ashley Cole!"
"A feint, Neymar dribbled into the box!"
"The two players were entangled on the right side of the big penalty area, Ashley Cole broke the ball, Neymar actively counter-robbed, and the two were entangled together, and they were about to go out of the bottom line!"
"Neymar grabbed the ball and Ashley Cole was left behind!"
"The Brazilian dribbled along the baseline and knocked on the goal, Gareth Bale followed, pushed the ball back and it went in!"
“goalllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!”
"Four to zero!"
"In the 62nd minute of the second half, Neymar assisted Gareth Bale for the fourth goal of the game!"
"It's so exciting!"
"Southampton was full of fighting spirit in this game, and on the other hand, Chelsea's players were not only in a slump, but also lacked the fighting spirit of the game, which made people wonder if it was related to the sudden resignation of the previous manager Rafael Benitez!"
"Vidal was quite eye-catching in this game, both offensively and defensively, he made a very outstanding contribution to the team, and planned a very threatening attack on several occasions!"
"Southampton can dominate the midfield and Vidal is a great decorator!"
……
"We see that Southampton are still on the attack!"
"The Saints have been in very good form lately and have adjusted quite well in this game!"
"Chelsea are so wolf-guarded, they don't even have the idea of counter-attacking, they just want to keep the score!"
'It's 4-0 now, Chelsea should try to get a goal and save face!'
……
"Foul!"
'The referee signalled for a foul on David Luiz, booked and Southampton were awarded a set-piece at the edge of the 30-metre zone, with Tony Kroos in charge!'
'The German sent in a quick free-kick, James Rodriguez knocked it back with his back, Dahl stopped the ball, distributed it to the left and handed it to Neymar.
'Neymar dribbled the ball, faced Branislav Ivanovic and tried to cut inside to the middle, but Ivanovic kept it well.
"Seeing that there was no chance, Neymar knocked back to the left."
"Alex Sandro was very fast, forced his way past Ivanovic, went down to the bottom line, and crossed!"
"In the big penalty area, Ibrahimovic grabbed the first drop point, topped a reverse, and the ball went in !!!"
“goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!”
"Ibrahimovic scored!!!!"
"Five to zero!"
"Oh my God, Southampton played so well!"
'Chelsea can't do anything against Southampton, they can only be breached by the Saints again and again!'
'Petr Cech looked very angry, thinking that the goal was completely caused by his team-mates' absent-mindedness!
'Chelsea's form in this game is really bad!'
"In the whole game, they didn't create too much threat to Southampton, but were scored by the Saints again and again!"
'With a 5-0 scoreline, or in a big competition like the FA Cup final, what more can we say than say that Chelsea are not as good as others?'
"Perhaps, those brainless executives of Chelsea should reflect on why Benitez voluntarily resigned and banned midfielder Oscar before the end of the season!"
"Let's congratulate Southampton!"
"Although there are still ten minutes left in the game, the score of 5-0 can allow Southampton to win the FA Cup in advance!"
'Even, we can fully expect that with the Saints' excellent form tonight, there will not be much suspense in beating Chelsea in the Europa League final three days from now!'
