If Chelsea and Werder Bremen had aroused the excitement of the crowd in their first meeting since the kick-off, then in the following games, they not only kept that passion going, but even became more and more enthusiastic.

Lineker commented: "Oh God! Why am I here to explain the game, I should just watch the game with a beer on the couch at home. I have a hunch that one of the best Champions League games of the season so far is taking shape before our eyes. ”

For a game, Lineker's comment is the highest rating. However, this match does deserve such an evaluation, as evidenced by the lava-like atmosphere at Weser Stadium.

Although the temptation of the first round of the two sides after the opening made both sides feel a chill in their hearts, both teams tacitly did not flinch, and they sprinted at full speed and collided head-on. In the sixth minute of the first half, Ray again organised a dangerous Chelsea attack.

At this point in the game, Werder Bremen's defensive strategy has been spied on by Lao Lei, and it is a very risky offside strategy. "It's a team that goes off the beaten track, and even the defensive choices are so aggressive, and when they face a strong opponent ≥in the knockout rounds of the Champions League, they adopt such a risky defensive strategy. With this courage, I admire them a little. Lao Lei said with some admiration in his heart, "However, admiration is admiration, and this kind of thing has no effect on me." ”

The defensive tactic of creating an offside position is a tactic that requires a very high demand for the back line, which not only requires them to have a very good tacit understanding with each other, but more importantly, they must have a high degree of accuracy in judging the ball. If you succeed. Creating an offside is naturally a very effective defensive tactic, but it only takes one mistake. Then the team's gate security will be under great threat.

These are some of the recognized advantages and disadvantages of offside tactics, but if they are used on Lao Lei's team. Then there is a very large point to be added. That is, in the game, as long as Lao Lei thinks about himself, then his appearance line and timing will be very difficult for any defender to find, and his non-looking pass is the biggest weakness of Werder Bremen's offside tactics.

Although I don't know what kind of determination Schaaf made to arrange such a tactic, Old Ray didn't have any intention of not taking advantage of this point. At this time, he was cruising to the front court again and got the football. As Werder Bremen played a 4-3-1-2 formation in this game, in addition to Lampard containing one of the midfielders, there were two midfielders waiting for him in front of Lao Lei at this time.

It stands to reason. It's not a stupid trick to deal with Lao Lei with such a defensive arrangement. However, after the first few minutes of the game, Lao Lei has completely recognized the true face of the three defenders of Werder Bremen. Except for captain Bowman, who is still a defensive midfielder, the rest of the Frings and Borowski are far more attacking than defending, or the offense is what makes the two of them shine.

At this point, it was Bowman and Frings in front of Ray, while Borowski was on hand to defend Frank Lampard. In the face of the defense of these two midfielders, Lao Lei felt that he had no reason to retreat, and accelerated with one ball. He confidently faced the defense of these two.

First facing Bowman, Ray suddenly made a sudden stop, and lightly picked up his left foot twice, and picked the ball over Bowman's head. Went behind him. Then, he carried Bowman's body again, stretched out his right foot and picked the football back. This made Bowman and Frins, who had already begun to move their center of gravity, have to turn back on their center of gravity.

The two of them were like marionettes at this time, and they were played with by Lao Lei in the palm of their hands. Thereinto. Frings, in particular, was particularly embarrassed. Because of the separation between him and Old Ray, he could only be behind Bowman during the whole process. Passively follow the soccer ball. Originally, he and Bowman were supposed to be 1 plus 1 greater than 2 scenes, but they were divided and disintegrated by Lao Lei very smartly, making him a waste who worked the side, but didn't play a role.

After picking the ball back again, Ray didn't prepare to pick the ball again, but directly pressed his forehead against the ball, so that the ball left the range of their control through the gap between Bowman and Frins. At the same time, he himself was also a steep burst of speed, and after a forceful burst of Bowman's small interference, he accelerated from Bowman's left-hand side in a small arc.

Tricking young Frings to the other side, the older Bowman could not stop himself, and the old Ray's escape was exactly according to his script. After successfully getting rid of it, it didn't take a few steps, and Lao Lei had already arrived at the front of the penalty area of Werder Bremen.

Facing the home team's fierce defense, Lao Lei looked at Robben who was cutting forward on the left flank, but his feet pushed the football directly into the Werder Bremen penalty area. Drogba also had a good idea at this time, and the timing of the forward run was very good, and he played a beautiful direct pass and ran with Lao Lei. The Werder Bremen defense, which tried to create an offside position, made a mistake this time because they couldn't grasp the timing of Lao Lei's pass, and then led Drogba to get a one-on-one chance.

The disadvantage of an overly paranoid attack is on full display at this point, and Schaaf may have built an extremely sharp attacking system for Werder Bremen, but this was premised on a simple or even rudimentary defensive system. Although Lao Lei's breakthrough and passing this time were wonderful, the backline, as a regular guest of the Champions League knockout team, let the opposing striker get a single chance so lightly, which is a bit unspeakable anyway.

On the flip side, however, this kind of backline is undoubtedly the most popular for strikers like Didier Drogba. After getting a pass from Lao Lei, Drogba stretched his foot and accelerated past the attacking Wiese, and he was already facing an empty goal. The angle of the next shot was small, but in the face of an empty goal, a scorer of Drogba's caliber would not be able to seize such an opportunity, even if all the shrill boos over the Weser Stadium were directed at him at this time.

“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal！！！ The perfect start! Perfect start!! Werder Bremen once again paid the price for their weak defence, and the goal came too easily. For Remaier and Chelsea, it really wasn't too difficult. ”

Scored in the opening seven minutes. At this point, some Chelsea fans are already expecting a big away win. This is not uncommon, and the vast majority of spectators have it. But anyone with a discerning eye knows it. Chelsea deserved to score against a Werder Bremen deserved, even if it was so early. Nor is it something that surprises them much.

They all know that the key to Chelsea's success is not whether they can take the lead, but whether they can carry a crazy comeback from Werder Bremen before they can take a big enough lead. Thanks to this defence, Werder Bremen already has a lot of experience in playing behind the game. Even Werder Bremen fans were used to this, and apart from some initial panic after conceding the goal, they quickly settled down. Their singing and cheers once again reverberated over Weser Stadium. It's a build-up for the team's upcoming counter-attack.

Lao Lei and Mourinho are also very clear about this. So after scoring the goal, Lao Lei's joy didn't last long, and he calmed down again, and he knew that the main event was still to come. Sure enough, just as he expected, the Werder Bremen players after the restart were not affected by the goal they had just conceded, and immediately launched a more violent counterattack than before.

This kind of counterattack also made Lao Lei and the Chelsea players realize why Mourinho, who has always been conservative, asked them before the game that they could not give up the initiative to attack even after taking the lead. Because there is only the initiative to attack. It is to give the Chelsea defence a little respite from such a counterattack.

In Lao Lei's view, Werder Bremen's attack may not be as delicate and beautiful as those of Barcelona, but it is definitely even better in terms of momentum, and wave after wave is like the sea. It has a strong momentum that will overwhelm the opponent from the front.

After the restart, with the excitement of the goal just conceded, Werder Bremen temporarily pressed Chelsea with attack. In the 11th minute of the first half. Miku picked up the ball on the edge of the box and cleverly denied Makelele before Ray arrived. Directly sent a beautiful through ball to Klose in the box.

After winning the ball, Klose also showed his increasingly refined foot work in addition to his header skills. After a shot feint. With a snap of the heel of his left foot, he was temporarily free of Terry's control. Although he still couldn't find any angle to shoot, he had room to calmly play the ball to his teammates. Facing Klose's cross, Krasnic completed a volley in the penalty area with an extremely awkward posture under the interference of Carvalho.

This time, Krasnic couldn't fully swing his legs, but he still managed to finish with a very high quality shot. It's just that he didn't get his full strength, and he was finally dragged off the crossbar by Cech's reach. In an instant, the sigh of regret became the main theme in Weser Stadium.

But the disappointment didn't last long, both among the Werder Bremen fans and among the players. It was as if the missed opportunity didn't annoy them, but like a doping shot, it made them even more excited.

A corner was followed and Klose once again showed his header skills, testing Cech again with a powerful header.

Just two minutes later, the frenzied Werder Bremen managed to counter-attack Pacos Ferreira in front of goal, and Frijns again fired a dangerous long-range shot into the house. So far, in less than 4 minutes, Werder Bremen has completed 3 very dangerous attacks.

And this was like a barrel of oil, poured on the Weser Stadium, which was already as hot as a fire, and instantly ignited a sky-high fire. For a while, the noise at the scene made Lao Lei and others unable to hear Mourinho's angry yelling on the sidelines.

However, without Mourinho's personal reprimand, Lao Lei on the field could no longer sit still. Werder Bremen's short and swift succession of attacks, even he didn't react for a while, and this time he fully understood what the consequences would be if the opponent played smoothly at home.

After kicking the ball that bounced out of the scuffle in the penalty area off the touchline, he immediately yelled at his teammates with all his might.

At this time, the image of his red face and thick neck was not because he was angry, but if he didn't, his voice really wouldn't be able to reach the ears of his teammates.

"Press out! Press it out!! Press them back! Press it back!! We're not a team that gets beaten passively! It's the same everywhere!! ”

He shouted and vibrated his arms, like an orator before the Great War.

Only the slight difference was that the fiery flames of battle in his heart were higher and hotter than those of his teammates.

Come on! Come on!! It's been a long time since I've encountered a competition like this!

Come on!!! (To be continued......)
