414 Half-time epic
readx;
"The Red Rebels made substitutions, Drogba replaced the injured Beckham as the team's striker, obviously Mourinho still wants to strengthen the attacking pressure on Chelsea, Ancelotti in the case of a two-goal advantage, it is natural to choose a safe contraction tactic, to avoid the Red Rebels' edge first!"
Martin? Taylor nodded: "The layout and changes of the managers on both sides can be said to have no loopholes, the only more risky is Drogba's play, and only a single midfielder is arranged in the back, Essien's ability is undoubted, but can he withstand the impact of Chelsea's midfield?" ”
Who knows Martin? As soon as Taylor's words were finished, Chelsea, who were the first to kick off in the second half, launched a wave of attacks on the heart of the Red Rebels. Kerr took the ball on the left side, but was forced by McCone and had to pass to Deco who was inserted in the middle, but Essien suddenly appeared in front of him and cleared the ball early. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Essien cleared the ball very strongly, Drogba leaned on Stam in the front, and gave the ball to Kaka, who inserted it in the back row, Kaka pushed the ball to the right side, Messi rushed forward, went directly to the bottom line, and crossed with his feet.
Cannavaro was interfered with by Villa and was in a forward position, but Messi's cross was aimed at the far post, and Xiao Xiaoluo stabbed it diagonally, stopped Ferreira behind him, and forced a kick hook shot under the interference of Ferreira.
A shot from close range, Hildebrand couldn't do anything at all, 1:2!
'In the 48th minute of the second half, the Red Rebels conceded a goal for Chelsea with their first attack, and it was a quick counter-attack, and the Red Rebels barely gave Chelsea time to organise their defence, from Essien's interception, to Kaka's split, to Messi's cross, all in one go.
After the goal, Xiao Xiaoluo seemed very excited, made a glider move, ran all the way on the field, and when he passed the coach's seat, he even stretched out his hand and patted Mourinho who ran out of the wild, ran to the Red Rebels fan stands, and made a gesture of listening, as if telling the Red Rebels fans, where is the cheering?
The fans immediately responded with the warmest applause in the audience, and the entire Red Rebels stadium seemed to be boiling.
After Xiao Xiaoluo came back from celebration, he continued to accept congratulations from his teammates, especially Messi, who gave him an assist, and the two hugged tightly and accepted the cheers of the fans together.
Chelsea looked a little flustered after a goal was pulled back by the tenacious Red Rebels, but Carlo Ancelotti quickly stabilized his players and began to fight the Red Rebels steadily.
Essien sat alone in midfield, and Chelsea took turns attacking his area, but the Ghanaian insisted on using his relentless running and tenacious fighting spirit to defuse the crisis again and again, and the attacking group of the Red Rebels in the front field not only actively participated in the counter-attack, but also formed a deterrent to Chelsea, so that Chelsea did not dare to press easily.
As a result, Essien stood alone as a wall in front of the Red Rebels' defence, with Patrice Evra and McCone taking turns to provide the assists, while Chelsea's counter-attacks barely penetrated Essien's defensive zone.
'Oh my God, it's Essien again, a good tackle, Lampard complained to the referee about the foul, but the referee showed it was a good tackle.
'Essien single-handedly stood up for the Red Rebels after Beckham's injury, and from the first 10 minutes of the second half, he was almost perfect, Chelsea struggled to get through the interception zone he had built, he was like an accelerated version of Makelele, and his lateral interception was excellent.
As soon as he finished speaking, Essien made another advance prediction, intercepting Veron's pass to Shevchenko, and then handed it to Kaka, who retreated to receive it, who played with Evra, who cut in on the left, and the latter went down to the bottom line to cross, Drogba headed the ball high under the interference of Stam.
'Obviously, at half-time, Jose Mourinho's task for Essien was to defend, to defend desperately, and he had to do what the previous two should have done. Martin? Taylor analyzed.
'On the pitch, though, the Red Rebels' front line pressed down well to thin out the defensive pressure on Essien, but the Ghanaian star was really impressive, he was almost ubiquitous, full of energy, fierce defensively, and with the centre-back combination of John Terry and Nemanja Vidic behind him, Chelsea didn't have a single threatening shot on goal from the start of the second half.
"The tactics of the Red Rebels are very clear, knowing that the Chelsea midfield is strong, they don't fight with you in the middle, they attack from the wing, the two full-backs actively step forward, and when attacking, they form a numerical advantage on the wing, and lo and behold, it was McCone and Messi who combined on the wing to pass Bridge."
Messi cut inside and passed to the bottom line, McCone observed the ball after receiving it, and crossed directly.
Drogba in the middle was firmly stuck in the position, and Stam could not take advantage of the physical competition with him, and could only continue to interfere behind him, but Drogba still grabbed the first point and headed the goal.
Hildebrand reacted quickly, put his hands together, saved Drogba's header, and then grabbed the ball in his arms before Villa, and lay on the ground with the ball in his arms.
"This time it was Hildebrand, Villa appeared in the most threatening place, he almost helped the Red Rebels to recover the score, but Hildebrand still reacted quickly after falling to the ground and defused the crisis!"
The German goalkeeper has shown great quality following his move to Chelsea, who have conceded just 10 goals so far this season, the fewest of any team in the Premier League.
Although Chelsea's defence was tenacious, the Red Rebels attacked in wave after wave and soon made a comeback, again on the right, but this time Bridge got stuck in the position and Messi couldn't find the opportunity, so he could only knock back McCone, who watched for a while, and shifted the ball to the left.
Patrice Evra chested the ball and stepped forward.
Villa suddenly burst out of the penalty area, received a pass from Patrice Evra, and played back to Kaka, who ran out of space, who suddenly got up, but the ball hit the eye-catching Cannavaro, but Evra grabbed the ball before Veron and suddenly went through.
Xiao Xiaoluo's sharp inward cut, under the close interference of Ferreira, stopped the ball, although he lost his center of gravity when he got rid of it, but under the bump, he still distributed the ball to the middle, Kaka did not stop the ball, and hit the goal with his feet.
Hildebrand kept a close eye on Xiao Xiaoluo's movements, and when Kaka shot, he couldn't make a save, and could only watch the ball go into the net again, 2:2!
In the 67th minute, the Red Rebels completely washed away the slump of the first half, and with a mercury-like attack, relying on unremitting efforts, the score was almost unbelievable.
Kaka picked up the ball from the net and waved to his teammates along the way, signaling that the game would continue!
It was clear to every player that the Red Rebels wanted a win, not a draw, so after rallying the score, the Red Rebels became more aggressive, attacking wave after wave of attacks, and there was a lot of noise in front of Chelsea's goal.
Ancelotti clearly felt the changes in the Red Rebels, after the score was equalized, he knew that he could not let the arrogance of the Red Rebels grow, and he must be contained, so he replaced Veron with Carvalho, and the Portuguese played at the back, strengthened the interception in the midfield, and consolidated the backline.
This substitution did play a great role, the offensive of the Red Rebels was immediately contained, and the effective threat of the offensive decreased, but the offensive did not slow down in the slightest, but gradually played out the momentum.
It was already the best half game for the Red Rebels in almost a month, so when the team equalised, the more than 50,000 fans at the Red Rebels stadium cheered in unison.
With the support of the fans, coupled with the increasing excitement of the players, they even launched an attack on the Chelsea defense at all costs, and the momentum even Mourinho on the scene couldn't help but be infected.
In the 79th minute, the long-lost Red Rebels made another change, and Mourinho made another surprising decision, this time replacing centre-back Nemanja Vidic with teenager Cesc Fabregas, allowing Cesc Fabregas to play the role of a libero in midfield.
This tweak, it quickly paid off.
Fabregas, who had just been on the field for less than 2 minutes, took the ball on the right side of the midfield, and suddenly passed diagonally behind him, and accurately found the unmarked Evra on the left side, who inserted into the penalty area at 45 degrees, and pushed to the right side after receiving the ball.
The Red Rebels have achieved a stunning comeback, and it is likely to be the Red Rebels' first league win in almost a month!
Mourinho jumped high in excitement the moment Messi scored, but after landing, he continued to look at the players on the pitch, signaling them to continue to keep the pressure on Chelsea and try to score again.
Ancelotti was just about to adjust, and soon the Red rebels were on the offensive again.
After a beautiful match with Cesc Fabregas in the middle, the Spanish teenager suddenly kicked the goal outside the penalty area, Hildebrand was caught off guard and flew to save the ball, but the game seemed very silent, Villa, who wasted several great opportunities, did not let go of the opportunity this time, and stabbed the ball into the goal before Cannavaro, who returned to the defense, 4:2!
The fans in the stands were crazy with joy, and when the first half was almost over, they couldn't even bear to watch it anymore and wanted to leave the field early, but who would have thought that the second half suddenly turned around, and the Red Rebels poured four goals into Chelsea in a row to achieve a big reversal.
But that's not all, until the last moment of the game, the Red Rebels are still attacking, Fabregas's play makes the Red Rebels' attack reasonable, the Spanish youngster's ball and straight plug are very effective, especially in the second half after Kaka went off the field, he gained greater freedom in the front court, a straight kick before the end of the field, Drogba pressed Stam against offside successfully, and pushed the near corner to score, 5:2!
The Red Rebels fans rose from their seats in desperation, singing the Red Rebels song, and the loud singing spread throughout the stadium and beyond, infecting everyone.
Ancelotti was a little helpless, he had done everything a manager could do, but he had to admit that the Red Rebels' performance in the second half was absolutely great, especially when they were down 0:2, the team's state was sluggish, and the attack was weak, Mourinho dared to choose to press out and play.
Carlo Ancelotti was also on the lookout for this, so he asked his players to stabilize after the start of the second half, but who would have thought that the crazy Red Rebels would be so unreasonable, they showed enough strength to destroy all opponents, they dominated an epic comeback, staged a blood-filled counter-attack, and dominated the great game of the half.
"I'm sorry, but that's football!" Ancelotti said with a sigh at the post-match press conference.
Ancelotti shook his head when asked by reporters whether the Red Rebels deserved this epic turnaround: "I won't judge my opponent directly, but from this game, I saw more of the problems of our team, we were a little scrambling in the face of difficulties, yes, the Red Rebels did perform well, but it was because of our constant mistakes that led to their goals." ”
"We learned a lot from 0:2 to 5:2 and it was more valuable than the three points we got for winning the game!"
Mourinho next to him has always been a gentleman, once he wins, he is always in a very good mood, but the smile is very annoying, and when Ancelotti finished speaking, he also nodded and said, "Yes, we have also learned a lot!" ”
The reporters at the scene laughed in unison.
