Chapter 236: A Fiery Confrontation (2)
Werder Bremen's desperate attack brought the atmosphere at the Weser Stadium to its fiery peak, and the home fans gave the best they could help the team. However, Chelsea is Chelsea after all, and under the leadership of Lao Lei, Mourinho's team's standard strong fighting spirit has been fully stimulated. After withstanding Werder Bremen's fiercest three-board axe, Ray began to organise Chelsea to find opportunities to counter-attack, to press the opponent back before the next wave of Werder Bremen's fierce attack arrived.
In the 19th minute of the first half, Miku, who had already sent several threatening passes, received special care from Lao Lei. At this time, Lao Lei had already taken out the full strength posture when dealing with Zidane, and used all the small movements and everything. His dogskin-plastered defense worked this time, and it was the kind of defense that an artistic attacking midfielder like Miku hated the most.
Old Ray was behind him, and after pulling the hem of his jersey, he slammed forward and slammed into his back, which immediately caused a garlic tossed under Miku's feet. As a result, he was forced to stop his half-done technical movements, and instead wanted to protect the football first, and opened his arms to jam Lao Lei behind him.
But the panicked Miku forgot that there was still an undefended gap under his crotch. Old Ray's long legs played a key role at this time, and although Miku pouted his ass back to try to make him want to football, his toes still poked the football.
Then, Lao Lei suddenly exerted his strength behind Miku, detouring from the outside and trying to insert between Miku and the football. His sheer strength and body allowed him to achieve his goal, while Miku was a little limp under his onslaught, as if he didn't have any strength. A stab. Accelerating again, Lao Lei forced the football from Miku's feet. Broken under his feet. And also accelerated with the trend, leaving no chance for Miku to fight back.
But. Werder Bremen didn't make it so easy for Lao Lei to organize a counterattack. Without waiting for Lao Lei to adjust his pace, Bowman immediately greeted him and made a vicious gesture that the ball could not pass. Werder Bremen's players also know the urine nature of their own defense, and they know that if they let Lao Lei organize a counterattack, it will definitely pose a huge threat to the gate guarded by Wiese.
Therefore, at this time, Bowman was holding the idea of taking tactical fouls if the block was unsuccessful. But just after he and Lao Lei looked at each other head-on, Lao Lei, who was originally castrating quickly, suddenly paused, like a whirlpool in a torrent. And the football is also between his step, pull and collar. The trajectory was changed and it came to a range beyond Bowman's reach.
When Lao Lei's weightless Marseille slalom was made, Bowman, who was overpowered when he pounced, suddenly stayed in place like a wooden man, like a spectator who was fascinated by Lao Lei's dancing. Then, he reached out as a last resort, but he was also dodged by Lao Lei's twisted waist, but it didn't work.
After getting rid of Miku and Bowman in succession, Old Ray finally had the space and time to pass the ball at this time, and the Werder Bremen line, which had just been attacking too vigorously and pressing too much, appeared in front of him unsuspectingly. Faced with this kind of situation, which is already difficult for him to encounter now. Old Ray is once again taking out his Rui Costa-style long-distance straight stopper.
For the Werder Bremen defence, which was too far apart at this time, there was no pass more powerful and penetrating than this. After leaving Ray's right foot, the football was like a sharp scalpel, sharply cutting through the entire Werder Bremen defense and coming to Robben, who was sprinting with all his might.
Amid the horrific boos of the entire stadium. Peter Pan's speed was on display to the extreme, and he was like a sports car, completely leaving Werder Bremen's right wing-back Scholz behind with visible speed. It's too late to pull. In the end, Robben used his extraordinary speed to stride directly into the penalty area of Werder Bremen. Got a great one-on-one chance.
It's a pity, though. His last-ditch effort was blocked by Wiese before rolling off the far post and missing the best chance to extend the score. The moment the ball rolled off the line, the entire Weser Stadium was filled with ecstasy for the rest of the world. In the knockout round of the Champions League, if you are two goals ahead of your opponent at home, it is no different from being eliminated.
At this time, even the German commentator could not help but exclaim: "Hmm! Wiese saved Werder Bremen's Champions League prospects, and it would have been an impossible task to overcome a two-goal home deficit under this Chelsea side. There hasn't been a team that has been able to pull off such a huge comeback against them. Werder Bremen will have to take care of their attacking intensity, and if they continue like this, it will only be a matter of time before they are scored by Chelsea, who will not miss such an opportunity again. ”
Clearly, Schaff was thinking the same thing as the German commentator. Sharp offensive football and irrational offense are two different things, and Schaf, who was scared out of a cold sweat by Robben's speeding sprint, took advantage of this dead ball time to hurriedly come to the sidelines and ask his disciples to pay attention to protecting their backline and not pressing too blindly.
It's just that if they want to retreat and adjust, it will depend on whether Lao Lei and Chelsea give them this opportunity. Starting with this counterattack, Chelsea began to strengthen the offensive under the overall formation of Lao Lei. The fresh fat beating by Werder Bremen has brought the Chelsea players to the fire, and since the beginning of last season, they have rarely been beaten to the ground by their opponents.
Without giving Werder Bremen any time to adjust, Ray orchestrated another threatening attack in the 24th minute of the first half. This time, after winning the ball in midfield, he suddenly burst forward. After hitting the wall twice in a row with Frank Lampard and Duff along the way, he quickly took the ball to the right side of the Werder Bremen penalty area.
Facing the opponent's left full-back Owomoyela, Lao Lei slowed down slightly and started to make fancy moves on the bicycle. One, two, three, four, Lao Lei's unbridled footwork display ushered in the abuse and boos of a group of Werder Bremen fans on the sidelines.
However, he didn't care at all, just raised his head and looked at Owomoyela confidently with a look that was sure of you. After the German defender was dizzy and couldn't help but kick out, Lao Lei flicked the outside of his right foot and accelerated to the bottom line with the ball.
After coming to the bottom line, Lao Lei did not cross rashly, but directly dribbled along the bottom line towards Werder Bremen's penalty area. It wasn't until the opposition centre-back Farrenhorst pounced that he stopped the ball cross. Then, with a slight flick of the outside of the right foot, the left foot quickly wraps around the back, rubbing the soccer ball like an illustration. The sudden flower arrangement pass caught Farrenhorst off guard, preventing him from reaching out to block the football.
Subsequently, Drogba in front of the goal, after getting a pass from Lao Lei, stopped on his chest and directly shot with a fallen kick. But it's a pity that the shot on the line of the small penalty area was magically blocked by Wiese again with his outstretched foot and did not score. Immediately afterwards, Werder Bremen's other centre-back, Naldo, made a big clearance and denied Chelsea a chance to make a follow-up shot.
This shot was again in vain, making Lao Lei hold his head and sigh incredible. Drogba, who had fallen in front of the door, stared at Wiese even more blankly, wondering who this was. "The German goalkeeper is amazing! Unbelievable, he's at least saved two of Chelsea's must-have shots. Could it be that this game will be the one in which he stepped on Chelsea to make a name for himself?! ESPN's British commentator also said incredulously.
Compared to the extremely disappointed Chelsea people, the Werder Bremen fans in the stadium were already excitedly chanting "St. Wiese", and the two miraculous saves in a row brought them no less excitement than the goal. But unfortunately, this kind of thing is applicable not only in China, but also in the world.
After just 2 minutes, their St Wiese did not come back to save their goal. After receiving a well-landed free kick from Lao Lei, Drogba's full header shot from inside the penalty area sent the ball straight into the top left corner of the goal. This time, unless Wei Ze has octopus hands, otherwise, there is really no way to do it.
In this way, the Weser Stadium, which was still excited just now, cooled down all of a sudden. The 2-goal deficit gave them a very bad smell. In addition to their frustration, they also felt helpless about the strength of Chelsea's appearance. However, they soon became crazy again, as Werder Bremen pulled back a goal in the ensuing game with a speed far beyond their expectations.
Just when the fans at the scene were a little sluggish, Werder Bremen suddenly launched an attack as if they were not affected at all, while Chelsea was still immersed in joy. Frings received Miku's pass up front and sent in a pinpoint 45-degree cross.
It wasn't because Terry and Carvalho were still in the mood for the goal, but the two of them allowed Klose to easily grab the first spot, and also completed a powerful header to the top. This time, Cech had no time to react and could only watch the ball burst into the net.
"Boom !!" In an instant, the entire Weser Stadium shook. It can only be said that the goal 2 minutes after conceding the goal came too timely, so that Werder Bremen's desperate mood was suddenly greatly stimulated, and they saw a new glimmer of hope.
Looking at the Werder Bremen players celebrating wildly, Lao Lei shook his head, feeling a little incredible. Now he simply let the opponent pull a goal back, which makes him feel a little out of strength. On top of that, he's more worried about how he's going to play the next game.
Based on what he knew about Werder Bremen during this time, it was almost certain that a more fearsome Werder Bremen team would be ushered in.
Looking at Mourinho, who had a stern expression on the sidelines, the two masters and apprentices nodded slightly to each other and decided on the next Chelsea strategy.
Keep going on the fight!
Suppress your opponent's arrogance!! (To be continued......)
