Chapter One Hundred and One

'Congratulations to Doyle, who took the most important step of his career and scored a goal, and it couldn't have been more perfect than his professional debut. At this time, Reima should be the person he is most grateful for. However, I think the reason Reima did this was not just to help Doyle, but also to fight back against the Chelsea media who were skeptical. Either way, he succeeded, with Chelsea leading and Doyle netting his first career goal. Looking forward to the second half of the game, both sides can continue to bring us excitement! ”

With Lineker's words, Ray and his Chelsea team-mates walked into the tunnel in twos and threes towards the home team's dressing room. The next 15 minutes will be a big one for Chelsea. Even if they are leading now, this game cannot be said to be won at this time. The situation on the field between the two sides is still five-five. In the final stages of the first half, Birmingham played a very dangerous attack, and if it weren't for the beautiful break at the end of the box by Lao Lei, the score would have been equalised, and it would not have been impossible. So after the first half of the game, I believe that Mourinho will have a lot to explain and arrange.

So in the dressing room, Mourinho didn't spare a minute, and hurriedly began to explain the tactical arrangement of the second half. The one-goal lead in the first half gave Chelsea a lot of tactical freedom. Considering that Chelsea started a lot of academy players in this game, in terms of tactical choice, Mourinho still chose a more conservative and stable defensive counter-attacking tactic. With the organisation and control of Lao Lei, coupled with the momentum of a young newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, Mourinho feels that the defensive counter-attack is the most suitable tactic for Chelsea at this time.

15-minute break. It was not long before Mourinho's briefing. It's coming soon, at this time. Conventionally, it's a morale-boosting time. This time, Mourinho handed over the task to Lao Lei. As a successful young player. and the leading brother on the field, he thinks Lao Lei should be the most suitable candidate. And Lao Lei also took over this task as a matter of course, and he was no stranger to it. Although he has never officially captained a team, he has always been a catalyst and atmosphere driver for the team.

Under the gaze of his teammates, Lao Lei slowly fought and came to the middle of the locker room. After looking around at the crowd, he said: "Before the game, a lot of people were not optimistic about us. After looking at the starting line-up, they couldn't wait to even make some foolish statement that 'Chelsea gave up the FA Cup'. I'm upset! Very upset!! Even if it's not the best Chelsea team. But it's also a strong Chelsea team! We are strong, there is no doubt about it!! So what should we do if others doubt us?! There's only one way, goal! Goal!! Score again!! With a victory, plug their foul mouths! And then, give them a hard slap!! That's the only way! Only!! ”

His tone was firm and steady, his voice went from slow to fast, and at the end he spat out the last word in a roaring manner. After Lao Lei's passionate mobilization, all Chelsea players couldn't help but raise their hands and say yes. Thereinto. In particular, Connor, the five young men, were the most energetic. When young people come to their senses, they are the ones who should not be taken lightly. The green tendons on their necks show the fierceness that belongs to young people.

After 15 minutes of power storage, both sides looked menacing as soon as they came up. I think it came at halftime. The players at Birmingham City should have been scolded by Clarke. After all, losing to such a "Chelsea youth army", Birmingham, who are all the main players after the game, will definitely receive sarcasm and ridicule from the media. At the post-game press conference, Clark will presumably be the focus of media questioning and ridicule. I think of this scene. Clarke, who was angry and angry, was rightfully at halftime. Poured out that anger on his players.

In the face of Chelsea, who took the initiative to recycle, Birmingham were unceremoniously the first to attack. In the 49th minute of the second half. Birmingham have again moved the battle to the left. This time, it wasn't Gerry who made a mistake, but he suffered in his physical ability to fight, and was forced to squeeze by the opponent's left midfielder. In the end, he had to use fouls to stop the opponent's advance. As it were, Birmingham were awarded a well-placed free-kick on the edge of the left-hand corner of the Chelsea box shortly after the start of the second half.

While everyone was waiting for the referee's whistle, Birmingham's two centre-backs had already arrived in the Chelsea penalty area to prepare for the aerial battle, and for a moment they were crowded together. After the corner kick was issued, in the melee, it was Terry who took the lead in grabbing the first landing point and shook his head to clear the siege. Then, Lao Lei, who was outside the penalty area, grabbed the second landing point, and in the face of the falling football, it was a chic volley. After gently rubbing the ball behind him, turn around the opponent's top grabber. Then they were ready to launch a counterattack, and this was when the Birmingham defence was empty.

However, as the Chelsea fans cheered for Ray's brilliance, their voices immediately turned into a panicked exclamation of concern. Because there is a player from Birmingham who has already shown his spikes behind Old Ray. A vicious sliding tackle, at first glance, it belongs to the type of tackle that passes the ball. In any case, Ray's injury was the most unacceptable outcome for Chelsea fans, but before they could utter their curses and boos, they turned into cheers.

In their eyes, Lao Lei was like a long-eyed man behind his back, flicked the ball out with his right instep, and then jumped up with his left foot, just right to dodge the ferocious sliding tackle intended to keep people. When Ray managed to get the ball up to speed, Birmingham's entire backline panicked. Their two centre-backs began to chase back desperately, but it was too late to look at it. Chelsea's attacking line began to accelerate forward in unison, stabbing like a sharp blade into the Birmingham penalty area.

"Reima! Reima!! Keep accelerating, Chelsea's chance to counter-attack is here, and Birmingham's defence is empty! A 4-on-3 situation has been formed in the front court, a long pass! Football accurately found Dylan. Lad nice handling! On the edge of the box, Frank receives a cross. Opportunity! Shot!! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!! Nice long shot! Nice long shot!! At 2-0, Chelsea took their chance at home. Chelsea scored twice from five shots. And Birmingham had 6 shots on goal, but there was no result, this is the gap! In terms of the ability to take chances, the distance between the two teams can be measured in light years! 'Chelsea youth army'? Hmph, we just can win!! ”

When Frank Lampard's powerful shot hit the net, Clarke on the sidelines flew straight into a rage and kicked the mineral water bottle next to him away. The splatters of water soaked the turf on the side. But this didn't make him angry, he rushed directly to the sidelines. He yelled at the Birmingham players on the pitch. As far as the current posture is concerned, it is already quite a bit of a Ferguson hair dryer posture, but it is far from the same in terms of ability.

Lao Lei, who was standing near the middle circle, happened to see this scene, and the corner of his mouth smiled slightly. Then he slowly paced to the sidelines of Clark with great interest, clasped his hands on his chest, and stared at him as if he were watching a zoo animal show. After noticing the old thunder on the side, Clark's face suddenly darkened. At this time, though. He couldn't scold anymore, and this feeling of being watched was more annoying to him than conceding a goal. His eyes glared at Lao Lei, and then he turned around and walked towards the coach's seat.

Behind him. Seeing this, Lao Lei habitually spread his hands and the corners of his mouth downward. Laughed disdainfully. The smile that Clark showed before the game was cheap, but it made Lao Lei feel quite unhappy when he saw it. This time. It can be regarded as Lao Lei looking back for the field. This scene made the Chelsea fans laugh out loud. It has almost become a Chelsea home game. The fixed drama they were looking forward to. Some Chelsea fans are looking forward to the celebration after Ray's goal more than the goal itself.

The Birmingham players, who were scolded by Clark, were again aggressively attacking the Chelsea penalty area after the game restarted. It was only at this point that the tide had completely swung in Chelsea's favour. Although the difference in strength between the two sides on the field is not much different, in terms of psychology and momentum, it is undoubtedly Chelsea who have the upper hand. In such a situation, it is only natural that Chelsea's players will be able to play to their strengths, especially young players who are good at playing with the wind.

In the following games, several Chelsea Academy players were like chickens, constantly attacking the Birmingham penalty area. Although they are still lacking in experience and physical confrontation ability, with a momentum, they can occasionally make Birmingham's forbidden area chickens restless. At this time, Lao Lei was relieved. He knew that he could win this game.

When he was actually on the court, he knew how difficult it was to play with a group of rookies. In order to fill the hole for them at any time, Lao Lei played like Makelele in this game, except for a few occasional plays, rarely pressed to the front of the opponent's penalty area, and honestly stayed behind. However, the game came to this point, and he was happy to play the role of controlling the ball in the backfield with ease, allowing several tireless academy players to fight back and forth in the frontcourt.

But to be honest, Lao Lei enjoyed it very much at this time. Because he suddenly found that teaching people can have such a sense of accomplishment, and his heart said that it is difficult to change the previous Mourinho liked to train him so much. As a teacher for the first time, the joy of success has brought a new experience to Lao Lei's career. "That's why I don't give up football. You never know what it will bring you in the next moment. Lao Lei fell asleep with emotion in his heart.

The shape of the court did not change, and the game slowly went through the last minute, and the score of 2:0 remained until the end of the game. To the surprise of most, an atypical 'Chelsea youth army' made it to the next round of the FA Cup at home to Birmingham City.

At this time, looking at Lao Lei, who was thanking Connor and others in the field, the on-site commentary at Stamford Bridge said with feeling: "We used 80 million euros to buy at least the next ten years!" ”

"This will be the most profitable transfer deal of the century!!"

'Chelsea's number 13 shirt should be retired in the future!!

"!!! in this stadium" (To be continued......)
