CHAPTER XXXVII
While Lao Lei was waiting for his chance, the game was resumed. However, the situation on the pitch has not been very favourable for Chelsea. The players' feelings don't seem to have calmed down, they are caught up in the struggle with the Everton players, and their minds and emotions are not calm. On the football field, teams that are not calm will either burst out with extraordinary power or weaken their own fighting power. Chelsea's situation now falls into the latter category, and their attack is not as effective as it once was.
And Lao Lei, who sensed the state of his teammates, also had to temporarily reduce the energy that dragged into the offensive end, and put aside his plan to deal with Gravison. Because in this case, the most important thing he needs to do is to stabilize the situation on the field as much as possible, and not let Everton have a chance to fish in troubled waters. A strong team that has been provoked by a weak team is the easiest to be defeated by an upset by an opponent. And as the old Ray who hates failure the most, he will never allow Everton's plan to succeed. Can be the core of the top four teams in the Premier League, will he be a brainless reckless man? Old Ray doesn't think so, maybe Graveson's personality and temper are hot enough, but he is not unwise to this point. To say that his foul on Robben did not intend to provoke the whole Chelsea team, Lao Lei didn't believe it.
Seeing Lao Lei retreat and start to control the scene, Mourinho on the sidelines was also relieved. In this way, there is no need for special instructions from him. He is good at psychological warfare, and naturally discovered Everton's intentions. In his opinion, with the experience and mentality of the Chelsea players, it should not be affected too much. But people are not as good as heaven, who knew that Robben would suddenly be injured, and this became the fuse of the accident. Let the situation surprise him. However, Lao Lei's behavior made him feel at ease again. On the sidelines, continue to sit firmly on the Diaoyu Tai.
And Moyes saw it. Naturally, I felt a lot of regret in my heart. In the first few minutes, he also saw an opportunity to win in the chaos. But he didn't expect Lao Lei to react so quickly, and suddenly strangled this crisis in swaddling clothes. Looking at Lao Lei, who was commanding Ruoding on the field, he was envious and jealous in his heart. Although he himself did not publicly express his thoughts on the topic of his comparison with Mourinho before the game. But in fact, he did have a mind to compare himself with Mourinho. Because of Everton's excellent expression this season, he even had the idea that Mourinho was just luckier than himself. He felt that if he had such a good player and so much transfer money in his hands, he would definitely not be worse than Mourinho. looked at Old Lei. Moyes shook his head, letting those thoughts go away and getting back into the game. Regarding this game, he did have the intention of competing with Mourinho.
With Lao Lei's retreat to control the ball, the situation on the court began to stabilize. There was a bit of silence, but the ball was back at Chelsea's feet. After stabilizing the scene in time, Everton's idea of taking the opportunity to fish in troubled waters was completely blown up. Everton, on the other hand, were not content to do so. Their formation finally began to pull out slightly, and they began to press the Chelsea backfield players who were holding the ball.
However, it will not be easy to snatch football at Chelsea's feet, as evidenced by previous games. At this time. Ray is like a Chelsea fan who has shown his excellent handling of the ball. Successive kicks, tireless running, and almost no mistakes. The effort and time that Everton's players put in is completely worthless. He's like a high-speed ball passing machine. Before any catch, he had already thought about what to do after the next two or even three steps. The effect is revealed. is that Lao Lei is often able to lift weights and resolve Everton's tough pressing in a chic and freehand manner.
In the 22nd minute of the first half, Graveson at the back suddenly pressed to participate in the pressing. At this time, Lao Ray happened to be surrounded by the combination of Campbell and Kilbany, and after maintaining a continuous passing rhythm, he suddenly took a change and changed to a personal dribble to get rid of. After receiving a pass from Makelele, Lao Lei stepped on his right foot and pulled, and then led with his left foot. With the 180-degree rotation of the whole person with his right foot as the axis, he used a dashing Marseille slalom, and thus freehand got rid of the Campbell duo.
However, instead of the same exclamation as usual, the Chelsea fans exclaimed. Because they saw Graveson unleash his ferocious sliding tackle and rush towards the ball at Ray's feet. However, at this moment, as if predicting what would happen, Lao Lei made another Marseille maneuver, directly flashing Gravison's tackle. Two Marseille slaloms in a row made him look like he wasn't playing at all, like he was dancing ballet. The exclamations of the Chelsea fans had not yet subsided, and their exclamations of enjoyment were already resounding over Stamford Bridge.
To the loud applause of Chelsea fans, Lineker also sighed: "What a super technology that is pleasing to the eye! It's so exciting!! It's no wonder that watching Remaier perform at Stamford Bridge every home game day has become one of the most enjoyable things for Chelsea fans. Although the position is different, Remaier's delicate and gorgeous technical movements and kicking style remind me of Zinedine Zidane and Bergkamp. Someone once said, 'If you want to see art football, go to the Bernabeu in Spain or Highbury in England, where the last art in the world of football is located.' But I think today, there should be a change in that sentence, and it should be added a place and a person's name. That's Stamford Bridge and Godzilla Remayr here, and art football here is no less than the other two. It's just that the art can sometimes get very rough and not always elegant. ”
And just when everyone was amazed by Lao Lei's outstanding foot skills, he was already rushing forward quickly with the ball. After getting rid of three in quick succession, he already smelled a great opportunity to attack. On the right side of the front, Everton's left wing-back Naismith was already directly exposed to Duff, and the official defensive strength was weak. Lao Lei sent a precise through ball to Naismith's back, and then pulled directly to the middle, ready to pick up Duff at any time.
Taking advantage of his unbeatable speed, Duff got a pass from Ray before Naismith. After a big stride, it went straight to full speed, and then near the baseline, it cut inside to the Everton penalty area. At this moment, Everton's central defender Jabo had to temporarily leave Drogba to Stubbs alone to help defend himself.
And it was at this time that Duff was waiting, with a kick back pass, he directly found Lao Lei at the front of the penalty area, and now Everton's defense was directly chaotic and became full of holes. In the face of Duff's pass, the old ray did not receive the ball, and before another Everton defender Carsley forced him, he directly knocked the ball with his right heel and handed the football to the feet of Frank Lampard, who was unguarded at this time.
After winning the ball, Lampard made a slight adjustment of his right foot and hit the goal directly with a powerful shot towards Everton. However, due to the angle too straight, the shot was blocked by Everton goalkeeper Martin and bounced out of the box. At this time, Old Ray turned around and stuck Carsley firmly behind him. And with that position so close to goal, Carsley didn't dare to foul Chelsea with such a dangerous free-kick.
But it was precisely because of his thoughts that Lao Lei stretched out his feet and stopped at the football with almost no difficulty. The strength of his own body made Lao Lei ignore Carsley's pushing and interference behind him. However, at this time, Graveson, nicknamed "Mad Dog", had already returned to the defense at full speed, and rushed towards Lao Lei. At a time when all Chelsea fans were worried, Ray once again showed amazing fundamentals.
The falling football stuck to Lao Lei's instep like glue. When Graveson pressed over, Old Ray stood on one foot with his left foot, swung his right foot, and then forced his body to turn. All of a sudden, it was a stop, and once again shook Gravidson's pressing. Without waiting for the exclamation to sound again, Lao Lei's right foot was directly buckled at the moment when the football landed, and the football was buckled through Carsley's crotch, and then he adjusted his center of gravity again, and a short body accelerated, and rushed directly into the penalty area.
"Opportunity! Opportunity!! Perfect to get rid of! What will Reima do with the ball? At this time, Everton's defenders have basically returned to their positions, and it is very difficult to shoot directly at goal. What will he do with the ball? In the previous series, the action has shown that he is in good shape today. Don't blink any fans, or you might miss the first goal of the game. ”
After stepping into the penalty area, Ray immediately put on a powerful shot, which successfully led to Gravisen's falling tackle again. But this time it was just a feint, Lao Lei faked a real shot, knocked the football to his left foot, and then directly volleyed a powerful shot. The ball hit the ground and drilled straight into the near post of the goal, and this time Martin did not save Everton again. The angle of the shot was too tricky, and it rolled straight into the Everton goal by grazing the near post.
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!! That's superstar! That's superstar!! Totally personal glitter, the ultimate match! Absolute personal heroism!! Reima's series of get-outs, shots, can be loaded in textbooks, it's perfect! Remaier, 1:0, Everton!! ”
In the tsunami-like cheers of Stamford Bridge Mountain, Lao Lei directly looked down at a big hand at his feet.
Suddenly, he raised his head, straightened his hands, and celebrated with disdain and domineering.
However, his right foot inadvertently stepped on that big hand.
"Ahh
Listening to this angry scolding, the corners of Lao Lei's mouth pulled out a trace of disdain!
"This is just the beginning!!" (To be continued......)
