Chapter 244: After Injury
For the arrogant old Lei, Barcelona fans naturally did not hesitate to boo, and the entire Camp Nou stadium was filled with their noisy voices for a while. However, they actually have no bottom in their hearts now. Lao Lei's header reminded them of the scene when the two teams played each other on this field last season, and a sense of uneasiness arose in their hearts and could not be eliminated.
Fortunately, the Barcelona players on the pitch did not have this mentality, and the goal only aroused their fighting spirit, and the slogan of shame before the game was not just casual words. Shortly after kick-off, Barcelona's frantic comeback immediately. At this time, the situation on the pitch between the two sides was completely reversed, and when the football was controlled by Barcelona at his feet, the Chelsea players, including Lao Lei, could not easily break the football.
However, Chelsea are not entirely out of the question. In terms of absolute attack power, they may be slightly inferior to Barcelona. However, Chelsea are not without their advantages, at least in terms of the variety of tactical options and the balance of attack and defence. Since it is impossible to take back control for the time being, it is good to retreat and base itself on defense, and Chelsea's efforts to set up a dense defensive line are also a must. And with a one-goal lead, they also have the confidence to swing ......
In this way, the situation on the field has calmed down temporarily. Because unlike Werder Bremen's sworn attack, Barcelona at this time did not mess up because they were behind, but controlled the football and slowly looked for gaps and loopholes in Chelsea's defense. The reason for this surplus style of play is due to absolute confidence in their attacking firepower, and they believe they can break through Chelsea's steel defence.
In such circumstances, the end of the first half was a little uneventful. But Barcelona, who have been in control of football during this period, is not without opportunities. They had a great chance in the 43rd minute of the first half. After receiving a pass from Andres Iniesta on the edge of the box. Ronaldinho was in the midst of everyone expecting him to kick the wall and play the ball to Andres Iniesta, while the Brazilian was facing the Chelsea goal with his back to him. Suddenly, he stealthily knocked the ball into the penalty area with his backheel.
At this time, even Lao Lei didn't expect him to do this, only at this time can he experience how sad it is to pass the ball without looking at people. Fortunately, at this time, the system's passive skills were suddenly triggered, allowing Lao Lei to react dangerously and stab the football with his toes. It didn't completely disrupt the pass, but it did add extra trouble to Eto'o, who cut in forward. He had to readjust his body and course. Missed the chance to go straight to the goal. It was for this reason that Cech was able to keep Samuel Eto'o's shot under him and defuse Barcelona's last-ditch first-half chance.
At this moment, Chelsea fans are not only frightened, but also can't help but rejoice at the brilliant defense of Ray and Cech Sr. But what they don't know is that Lao Lei also paid a lot of price for this. Without turning on the Devil's Flesh Man, his body is also very strong. But after all, it is a mortal child. This sudden outburst caused some damage to his right thigh muscle.
Although he could still insist on playing the first half, the discomfort did not end until Lao Lei returned to the locker room to rest. After reporting the situation to Jose Mourinho. It also sparked a collective agitation in the Chelsea dressing room for a time. The irreplaceable importance of Ray to Chelsea is now deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Without the old thunder, Chelsea may still be a strong team. But they couldn't imagine how they would face Barcelona in the second half, and they were very uncertain.
Luckily. After a short period of treatment by the team doctor, there was no major problem. Although there is definitely a gap compared to the state when it was completely healthy. But allowing Ray to play through the second half normally is what Chelsea are most concerned about at the moment. With his right foot, Lao Lei could still feel a trace of discomfort, and there was also a trace of uneasiness in his heart. He now only hopes that the team and him can withstand the onslaught of Barcelona and Ronaldinho before he turns on the devil's muscles.
But that hope was dashed just five minutes into the second half. Just like the duel of peerless masters, any slight flaw will become a fatal flaw. Ronaldinho held the ball on the left side of the penalty area to face Lao Lei is, and suddenly threw out an extremely wonderful bulltail with his right foot. But this is not enough to please a healthy old Lei, if in the past, Lao Lei could still keep up with his strong explosiveness, and it would not make Ronaldinho live so easily.
But at this moment, just as he was about to exert his right foot, the discomfort suddenly hit again, making Lao Lei's figure stagnate. It was this lag that allowed Ronaldinho to successfully cross the ground, while Lao Lei was half a step slower. The Brazilian's pass was smartly directed towards the edge of the box, not in front of goal. Due to his successful bottoming, Chelsea's defense also had to retract into the penalty area, so there was a gap in the front of the big penalty area at this time.
Deco, who received Ronaldinho's pass, also took advantage of this gap to complete a wonderful long-range shot that broke Cech's ten fingers. “GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!! Deco! Deco!! Deco!!! Where's the cheers?! Where are the cheers that can drive people crazy?!! Where is it?!!! Chelsea want to win this game, but it's too early?! ”
After witnessing the pass, the Camp Nou commentator couldn't contain his excitement. Led by his impassioned voice, even the entire Camp Nou entered a manic state. Although tens of thousands of people shouted and shouted different contents, their voices converged into one voice at this time, "Boom!!! ”
Feeling the huge sound that shook the air at this time, Lao Lei pursed his lips, lowered his head and touched his right thigh, his expression was full of resentment and unwillingness, this feeling of powerlessness he hadn't experienced for a long time. After taking a few breaths, he raised his head again, and his eyes were already full of burning fighting spirit. Without intention to blame the injury in his right leg, Lao Lei was only thinking about how to get this goal back at this time, and he had already blamed himself for the goal he lost.
Before resuming his serve, Ray saw Ronaldinho's meaningful eyes looking at him. However, he didn't pay attention, he was not a person who needed the sympathy of his opponent from beginning to end, losing is losing, winning is winning, very simple distinction, without any excuses.
After the restart, Barcelona stepped up their offensive and tried to complete the comeback in one fell swoop. In it, Ronaldinho did not have the slightest softness, he began to ask for the ball frequently, impacting Lao Lei's defense. This may seem like a bit of a no-brainer, but it's professional football, and the winner is the only thing here.
In this regard, Lao Lei himself did not complain at all, but was full of fighting spirit to deal with the impact of Ronaldinho. Where he falls, he gets up, and even if Ronaldinho doesn't look for him, he will take the initiative to find the door himself. Soon, he made Ronaldinho realize that even if he was injured, it was not easy to mess with.
In the 55th minute of the second half, after Ronaldinho stepped on a bicycle in front of Lao Lei, he repeated his old trick and tried to go down quickly again. This time, Lao Lei's turning speed was still a step slower, but the result was completely different from last time. After turning around, he endured the discomfort of his right thigh and forcibly exerted force, and came to a vicious falling sliding tackle.
"Well, it's a ferocious tackle. However, it didn't matter, although Ronaldinho was brought down, Reima tackled the ball very cleanly. He touched the ball first, so there was no problem. The Barcelona players should probably calm down, the Brazilian is not a woman, and he should not be sent to the emergency room yet. Looking at their excited looks, I really don't know where they learned the trick of besieging the referee. A commentator in England sarcastically said.
After Lao Lei got up, he didn't care about Eto'o, who was not clean in his mouth, but moved his right leg first. It was only after discovering that there was nothing to happen that he relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief, and then came back to deal with the unrelenting Eto'o. Compared to standing up for Ronaldinho, the Cameroonian shooter behaved more like venting for himself at this time, because his excited appearance made people look like they thought that Lao Lei had a vendetta against him.
At this time, Lao Lei was not in the mood to pay attention to the excited big black carbon in front of him. So, he raised his hands, glanced up slightly, and walked forward, as if he hadn't seen Eto'o. The angry Eto'o naturally wouldn't take the initiative to make way for Lao Lei at this moment, but he had to give in. Compared with Lao Lei's body, his body is still a little thin. As soon as Lao Lei exerted his strength, he could only passively retreat, his face ugly as if he was wrestling with a big truck.
Being forcibly pushed away by an opponent in full view of the public, and being powerless by oneself is an intolerable thing for any male creature. Just like Eto'o at this time, while a hot sense of shame burned in his heart, he suddenly burst out and pushed Lao Lei hard.
Yo, picked it up. Faced with such a windfall from the sky, Lao Lei naturally accepted it all unceremoniously. screamed, fell to the ground, covered his face, and then yellow carded, and after this whole set of smooth down, Lao Lei got up from the field neatly. At this time, Eto'o's mouth was still unclean, and the Camp Nou was still full of boos and insults at him, but his focus was no longer on them.
In his prediction, Barcelona will definitely slow down the attacking tempo a little in the next game to adjust their body. So, for the next period of time, it should be Chelsea who have the initiative.
Goal! Goal!! Still not forgetting the goal he conceded, he looked at the gate guarded by Valdés in front with burning eyes.
That's the kind of scorching heat that can burn football, burn the game!
Like a fire!! (To be continued......)
