Chapter 205: First Departure After Injury (End)
Lao Lei's super defoliated goal in the 17th minute of the first half put the game into Chelsea's hands all of a sudden. The ↗ fact that they fell behind so quickly put Everton, who had planned to stick to defensive counter-attacking tactics, into a dilemma. After the restart, though, they calmly didn't allow Chelsea to make any chances to extend the scoreline.
But overall, it only kept their hopes of turning things around, and the situation is now completely in the hands of Ray and Chelsea. And as Lineker commented at this time: "There is one thing that is very scary about this Chelsea team, and that is that once they take the lead, they can hardly lose. "So, for Chelsea now, as long as they get the first goal and control the situation, they are almost invincible.
And as the game progressed, under the organisation and leadership of Lao Lei, Chelsea showed this trait without exception. Unhurriedly controlling the football, slowly dispatching the Everton defence to look for fighters, and if they can't find a good opportunity, they will pass back the football to reorganize, and the implementation of these strategies has made Everton completely passive at their home stadium. What's worse is that their excellent young marshal has no good way to deal with the current situation, and the gap in overall strength puts him in an embarrassing situation where it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.
In such a situation, Everton can only be in a passive wolf situation in the subsequent games. In the 23rd minute of the first half, Chelsea's attack returned. Arjen Robben's furious advance on the left side of midfield shifted the entire Everton defensive centre of gravity towards his side. In such a situation, he was in the middle of a pack against two Everton defenders. Calmly handed over the football from the gap and gave it to Lao Lei, who came to the front of the penalty area again.
And the old Ray after winning the ball. It is a direct toe pick with his right foot without stopping the ball, and the football is beautifully passed to the left side of the penalty area. No interference was given to the Everton defence. When the football gradually fell from the sky, Duff at the back point also happened to arrive with a horse. In the face of the falling football, he did not make any adjustments to stop the ball, and directly volleyed a powerful volley. Although the angle of this shot is not tricky, it is better because of the power and the distance, and Martin's save can only be useless.
“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!!! Damien! Damien!! Nice volley, Martin couldn't help it. Chelsea played a beautiful attacking combination on the edge of Everton's penalty area, after receiving an imaginative pass from Reima. Damien's calm handling brought the offense to a successful conclusion. With less than 25 minutes to play, Chelsea were already two goals ahead of the visitors. God, is this going to be another massacre?! ”
After Duff's goal, the excited Chelsea commentator couldn't help but shout the carnage slogan. The wishes were good, but Everton proved not as vulnerable as he thought. In the face of the imminent collapse, they stabilized the situation with a calm defense. At least if Chelsea don't invest more in attack, their door will be in a safe place for a while.
During this period, the old Ray and the Chelsea players did not try to continue to expand the score, but in the end they all missed the goal. Didn't take the chance. For example, in the 32nd minute of the first half, Lao Lei suddenly accelerated after winning the ball in the middle of the front court. Changing direction with a succession of high-speed dribbles past Arteta and Neville. Then, having already drawn Everton's defensive focus to the middle, he suddenly sent a beautiful unsightly right-footed through ball to the feet of Duff, who was cutting in at high speed on the right. It's a pity. When Duff then crossed in front of goal, Robben and Drogba did not touch the football. Missed a good chance to extend the score.
After this back-to-back goalscoring succession, Chelsea also began to rein in their attack. The situation on the field has also fallen into a dull situation. However, for Lao Lei, this game time is not dull, because he has another thing to do. Faced with Arteta, who was unwilling to accept the current situation, Old Ray showed the interested eyes of children when they saw the toys.
In fact, in terms of strength, the current Arteta is not enough for Lao Lei to be interested in him. But perhaps because of his first comeback after recovering from injury, Lao Lei was extremely excited in this game, and even had the idea of wanting to fight Arteta without too much trouble. It is no exaggeration to say that for Lao Lei, before the start of this competition between the two people, who wins and who loses has already been determined. And the only thing that can appeal to him in this game now is how beautiful he wants to win and how Arteta can lose in shame.
In the 39th minute of the first half, Lao Lei and Arteta had another direct conversation. This time it happened in the Chelsea half, when Ray was on the ball and faced an aggressive press from Arteta's sudden increase. According to the past practice, Lao Lei will pass directly back to the defenders in his team at this time. Because after all, it was already the final transition stage of the first half, and there was no need for him to struggle with his opponent anymore. But this time, because he had already made up his mind to fight Arteta, he did not pass the football in time, but fought with Arteta with the ball.
Facing Arteta, who was born as a Spanish player, Lao Lei planned to deal with him this time with the delicate work that Spanish players are famous for. Truth be told, the technical moves he takes are not fancy, but they are easy and natural.
With the left foot as the axis and the right foot leading the ball, the whole person is spinning in place like a spinning top. In this way, he defused Arteta's ferocious pressing in four or two. Then, after giving Arteta a playful look of disdain, he dared to split the football before the rest of Everton's frontline players arrived. Then, without looking at Arteta's ugly face, he turned away.
Afterwards. Old Ray "teased" Arteta a few times in the same way. Finally, before the end of the first half. Arteta finally broke out again after being deflated in front of the old ray again. In the case of seeing that you can't grab a football again. He was so anxious that he knocked Lao Lei to the ground directly from behind. This time, if the referee hadn't been merciful for the sake of the home team, he might have been sent off directly and paid the price for his uncoolness.
Although Chelsea was very dissatisfied with the referee's inaction this time, Lao Lei personally didn't care, and said: "It's okay, you can play a little longer in the second half." At the same time, the outside world finally discovered the mismatch between Lao Lei and Arteta. One of the first to discover was Lineker, a die-hard fan of Lao Lei, who was familiar with Lao Lei's playing habits. As soon as the camera swept over Ray's playful gaze at Arteta's back, he immediately sensed that something was wrong. So, soon after, when there was almost no suspense about the outcome of the game, everyone had a different expectation for the second half.
The 2-0 scoreline remained until half-time, which was more than enough for Chelsea. Therefore, Mourinho did not set up anything at half-time, just routinely reminded the Chelsea players and let them rest on their own.
Like any other Chelsea player. It was also an unusual halftime break for Lao Lei. That didn't change until it was time to get back on the pitch and Jose Mourinho kept him. A few extra words. 'You only have 15 minutes in the second half and then you have to come off. Before that, you have two tasks. One is to guarantee the team's victory, while the other is to play can. But be careful not to hurt me. Otherwise, you'll see when you come back from injury the next time. It will take a few games to get back into the starting line-up. ”
Faced with Mourinho's seemingly threatening words, but in fact he was concerned, Lao Lei was stunned for a moment, and then smiled. "Don't worry, head, I'll be done soon." After giving Mourinho a look that you can rest assured, I have a count, Lao Lei waved his hand to play. This time, once again, he didn't notice Mourinho's gaze that was a little different from his usual gaze.
"Well, the second half is about to begin. In addition to focusing on goals, I think fans can focus on Reima and Arteta. My hunch told me that something very interesting was going to happen between these two people in the second half. Before the second half had officially begun, Lineker said with amusement and relish.
And he was right, as the duo of Lao Lei and Mikel Arteta began an interesting exchange soon after the start of the second half. In the 48th minute of the second half, Everton, who were trying to fight back, suddenly increased the speed and intensity of their pressing at this time. In this way, they also temporarily suppressed Chelsea, who were a little unresponsive, and began a rare continuous attacking scene in this game.
At this time, Arteta, who is the core of Everton, is facing Lao Lei again. In the case that two consecutive wing attacks did not achieve any effect, he also had to carry the ball and once again try to break through Lao Lei's defense with his personal ability.
This time, his determination was still sufficient, but the effect did not change. First the physical confrontation, and then the right opportunity to stab the ball, the old Ray's previous pattern of defending Arteta worked again. However, this time the slightly different thing is that the stabbed football was not taken by others, and Arteta, who was the first to quickly retreat two steps, was again held at his feet. After he grabbed the football, he leaned on his back against Lao Lei, who was forced up again, and began to think about countermeasures.
"Hey man, why don't you try again?! Try again, and maybe you'll be successful. Does that make you lose the guts?! You've disappointed me so much, cheer up and try again, I'm sure you can. ......" As soon as he put it on Arteta's back, Ray kept talking crookedly. Although the content of the words was encouraging, the playful banter in his tone made Arteta understand it as soon as he heard it.
Arteta was already upset by the wolf bèi in the first half, and it wasn't until he was well-trained by David Moyes at half-time that his feelings calmed down a bit. But the suppressed depression was suddenly provoked by Lao Lei's words, and it suddenly broke out. Arteta, who is strong-blooded, could not stand Lao Lei's disdain in person, and gritted his teeth, he once again planned to break through Lao Lei with the ball himself, and forgot about his teammates who were waiting to receive the ball around him.
The second attempt, without any surprises, was the same as the process and result of the first attempt. But I don't know if it's a coincidence arranged by God, this time Arteta once again controlled the football, but the position was a little back. In this way, the two formed the third consecutive one-on-one confrontation in a short period of time.
At this time, the duel-like scene of two people taking care of themselves and throwing their teammates aside finally attracted the attention of the outside world and everyone. "Oh roar, look, what are these two guys doing. Arteta seems to want to be a dragon-slaying warrior to challenge the brutal Godzilla. Will the Warriors win?! Oh no, Reimaa made a nice abrupt retreat that left Arteta straight out of his centre of gravity and sat on the turf with his ass back. Well, I'll admit, it's a shameful showdown, and reality isn't a fairy tale after all. Godzilla completely defeated the 'Warriors' without saving him any face. Truth be told, the Spaniard should be glad this is not Stamford Bridge, otherwise he would face a complete taunt that he knows the game is over. He'll have the privilege of having the Chelsea fans make a song just for him. ”
The final result of this duel was that Arteta, who fell to the ground, could only watch Lao Lei walk away with the ball, and he knew that he had become a joke completely, in front of tens of thousands of people. Such a blow was unacceptable to the young Arteta for a while, and he was completely in a state of soul exodus for the next period of time, and even Moyes's roar did not regain his spirits.
In the 53rd minute of the second half, it was his careless pass that was cut off by Lao Lei, which allowed Chelsea to fight back and score the third goal of the game to seal the victory completely. The old man at the back clenched his fist lightly after seeing Frank Lampard score, and he knew that Mourinho's first task was complete.
The next thing that happened was to turn to Arteta behind him, and what came into his eyes was a completely distracted, numb face. Seeing this, Lao Lei suddenly took it to heart.
With his chest straightened and a haughty smile like an aristocratic lord, he approached Arteta, who had lost his mind.
"Hey, lad, thank you for your help! How much tip do you want?! I've got you covered! He said vividly with an attitude towards the hotel waiter.
When he said this, the outcome of the story appeared. Arteta, with a sudden anger in his eyes, pushed hard and knocked Lao Lei to the ground again. This time, the referee finally showed mercy and showed Arteta a second yellow card, which sent him off.
Looking at Arteta's lonely back, the old Ray, who had already gotten up, enjoyed the monstrous denunciation and boos at Goodison Park.
Under such circumstances, Lao Lei, who was once again in the limelight, got a close-up of the camera again, and his face appeared on the big screen of the scene again.
On the big screen, his trademark smug, playful smile reappeared on his face.
Then, with a slight blink of his right eye, he gave the entire court a big wink.
A wink full of disdain!
A wink full of banter!
Naked, naked!! (To be continued......) R527
