Chapter 49: Bad luck

Jose Mourinho doesn't know what Wan Sheng thinks, he is very confident in his judgment, and now the game on the field is not out of control, it is going according to his ideas.

He believes Chelsea are invincible!

As for whether or not you can score, it still depends on some luck, after all, Chelsea is stronger than Derby County, and there is no Cheng dΓΉ who is strong enough to say that you can score a goal, let alone Derby County, even if it is a team on the verge of relegation in the Premier League, it is not easy to break through the defense.

However, Mourinho still believes in the team's attacking ability, especially the front several players - Robben, Drogba, Lampard, plus Damien Duff, Gudjohnson and others, these players form a front, the attacking ability is still quite strong.

Mourinho is most confident in Robben.

Arjen Robben has been in so good form since arriving at Chelsea that Jose Mourinho has thanked former Chelsea boss Claudio Ranieri for him, and after the win over Everton, Mourinho was delighted to say that Chelsea had nothing to do with Robben, and that it was Claudio Ranieri who brought the Dutch talent to Stamford Bridge.

'I must say I didn't buy him, it has nothing to do with me, but I was very happy when I found out that Arjen Robben was going to be a Chelsea player. Mourinho said: "I don't want honours that have nothing to do with me. ”… ↓

Arjen Robben was confirmed to join Chelsea in the second half of last season, when then-manager Claudio Ranieri single-handedly brokered the deal that brought him in.

'Arjen Robben is very quick, he has the speed to get behind the defenders, he has the ability to score goals, he has the quality of a good player and he can work with the whole team.

Mourinho praised Robben like this, which shows how good Robben's table is, it can be said that Chelsea's eight consecutive wins, Robben has definitely made a huge contribution, without Robben's play. Chelsea's winning streak has long been ended, and it was Robben's goals and assists that helped Chelsea win back-to-back victories

At this time, Robben also played to his heart's content on the field, but unlike Mourinho, he was in some trouble.

Jose Mourinho doesn't think Derby County have any players who can defend against the in-form Robben, especially since Robben's position is still a left striker, which is a position in the 433 formation that Chelsea now use, not a traditional striker. So Robben has a lot of room to play in the front court, and with such space and his state, it is indeed very difficult to prevent it.

The full-back on the right side of Derby County is Roussi, Mourinho has studied Derby County before the game, he has looked at the player's defensive table, but he does not think that he can make any difference to Robben one-on-one.

But now Derby County's starting left wing-back has become Leto Ziegler.

In fact, in the full-back position, Leto Ziegler is a bit of a hidden means of Wansheng, and he has not been able to occupy the main position. The number of appearances is not as good as that of Russi, but he is a player that Wansheng focuses on cultivating, and the reason why he does not play many times on weekdays is more because of his game experience and age.

Leto Ziegler is only 18 and a half years old after all!

When he came to Derby County FC. He was just over 17 years old, and a player at this age was still too young, even if he had good talent, and he had been training at Derby County for a year and a half. The strength has also improved a lot, but it is still a little worse than a player with rich experience and mature mentality like Russy. Therefore, he and Lichtsteiner can only be used as substitutes for the wing defense, and can even be said to be all-round substitutes, whether it is left wingback, full-back, central defender, Ziegler can be competent.

Wan Sheng also wants to slowly let Ziegler increase his game experience in this way, and slowly increase his confidence in the game, and after a little improvement, he will definitely become a defensive general in the backcourt.

But this one is different.

Compared to Russi, Leto Ziegler's personal defensive ability is much stronger, especially in the face of players like Robben, the strength is too poor is definitely not good, so Wan Sheng still decided to let Leto Ziegler play, and gave him a detailed advice before the game.

It worked.

At least for now, Robben has a headache for Leto Ziegler, this opponent who is younger than himself, the game experience is obviously lacking, but his personal ability is very strong, and he is very cautious, never lightly down, whenever he arrives in the front court, the opponent follows him, and the opponent is still difficult to defend and entangle, the speed is fast, and the explosiveness is not much worse, it is difficult for him to get rid of it directly.

In the face of such a difficult opponent, even Robben has a bit of a headache, but fortunately, the opponent is inexperienced, he can still find a chance to get rid of it, but even if he gets rid of the opponent, it does not mean that he gets a good opportunity, and other players in Derby County will soon make up for the defense, which also makes Robben realize the difficulty of Derby's defense.

The rest of the Chelsea players felt it too.

Although they have always had the advantage, it is not easy to really threaten the Derby County goal, but fortunately, the opponent has very few counter-attacks, there is not much pressure on the defensive side, and a few players in the front field can also let go of their hands and feet.

With this in mind, Chelsea's attack has stepped up a bit, and the situation on the pitch has become more passive.

'Chelsea have completely overpowered Derby!'

Seeing this situation, the pro-Chelsea media commentator couldn't help but shout with joy, but he noticed that Mourinho, who was sitting there, frowned when the camera pointed to the Chelsea dugout.

But before he could say anything, he saw a change on the field.

When Chelsea completed a wave of attacks, the players did not have time to retreat, and midfielder Morris received a pass and suddenly picked up the pace. He waved forward with the ball, which seemed to be a habitual move, but it made the Derby County attack suddenly speed up, and the Chelsea players did not expect the sudden acceleration of the opponent, and after a few passes, the ball was in front of the left penalty area, and Ribery, who had cut in on the wing, got the ball.

Immediately Chelsea was nervous.

Before the game, Chelsea still took the game very seriously, and Mourinho pointed out several outstanding players, including Frank Ribery, even Chelsea's big stars, few people would not care about Ribery, after all, it was specifically pointed out by the manager Mourinho.

What does it mean for a player who was specifically pointed out by the coach to receive a pass in front of the box on the left?

Threat!

Chelsea were a little flustered by Derby's fast attack, and two players rushed up to grab the ball, and everyone in the stadium was staring at that side, which was the opening kick-off. Derby County's rare sharp attack.

Alf, the on-site commentator, also shouted, "Frank Ribery! He got a pass in front of the box and it was a good chance! ”

Wan Sheng also has his eye on Frank Ribery.

He had already enlightened Ribery many times before, and Ribery was not so stubborn in training to put on a 'solo show', but at this point he really didn't know what Ribery's options would be.

Is it passing? Or do you look for your own opportunities?

Wan Sheng didn't even know what Ribery was doing right, he was not a player on the field after all, and he couldn't accurately judge how much chance he had to pass the ball and how much chance he had with the ball, so he stared at Ribery cautiously.

What's next for him?

Many people also raised the same question as Wan Sheng, and at this moment Ribery became the focus of everyone's attention. Meanwhile, Franck Franck Ribery used his skills and body to protect the ball, while also attracting two Chelsea defenders.

If he didn't make a move, he would be caught by the two.

"Ribery is surrounded!"

Alfi said with a little pity, but as soon as the words fell, Ribery suddenly wanted to poke the ball to the right, and the ball went directly under the feet of Carvalho, who was defending.

Carvalho didn't react for a while!

Few others reacted, and even a few of the players next to them didn't know where the football went, but someone reacted. That is Morris who runs according to tactics, this wave of attack is driven by Morris, and he is also running with rapid advancement, he didn't expect Ribery to pass the ball. And it's such a subtle good ball, but he still rushes towards the football as soon as he runs according to the tactics.

Next, Morris was barely defended. Received a pass from Ribery on the left!

In front of him was a large void.

Chelsea have two centre-backs, one defending Bolton Reiter and the other defending Ribery. The other players who retreated, including Frank Lampard, were also behind Morris, keeping an eye on Van der Vaart as he rushed forward, and at this point, Morris was unable to defend at all.

He didn't shoot straight at goal, but chose to burst into the box!

Seeing this scene, Wan Sheng clenched his fists and was excited.

That's what he wanted!

If you don't attack, you have to kill with one blow, this is the tactic of playing Chelsea, as long as you can score a goal, the balance of victory will be greatly tilted in favor of Derby, and then the situation will be in his hands.

"Maurice! Maurice! He burst into the Chelsea box! ”

With the shouts of the on-site commentator Alfi, the defender Paul Ferreira, who was closely defending Bolton Reiter, finally woke up from a dream, and he overtook Bolton Reiter and rushed directly towards Maurice.

When Morris saw his movements, he raised his foot.

I don't know if Morris wants to shoot or pass, Ferreira directly stretched out his foot to intercept, and his body also hit it with inertia, and Morris didn't react and was knocked to the ground directly.

Wan Sheng stood up for the first time.

Mourinho's eyes widened on the other side, and his attention was in the direction of the referee who ran past.

"Penalty! Penalty kick! ”

There were many cries of fans in the stands.

Wan Sheng is also very happy, the penalty is almost equivalent to a goal, if he can really take the lead in advance, the situation will be too wonderful for Derby County, but as the referee enters the penalty area, there is no next move, Wan Sheng's smile is gone, and he looks at it solemnly.

Sure enough, the referee ran into the box and did not signal a penalty, but told Morris to stand up, then signaled for the game to continue, awarding the ball to Chelsea.

What does that mean? Wan Sheng was a little dazed.

The defensive action of the opposing defender Ferreira just now was definitely too big, not that he did it on purpose, but the direct collision in the penalty area, the amplitude was so large, it should have been a foul, and the foul must have been a penalty.

"Grass!"

Wan Sheng was quite annoyed, and couldn't help blurting out a national scolding.

The on-site commentator Alfi was also annoyed, "No penalty? How could there not be? The referee made a mistake! This is a glaring mistake! Just now, the opposing defender hit Morris head-on in the penalty area! It was supposed to be a penalty! ”

That action was too obvious, obviously it couldn't hold the strength, and it hit Morris directly, which led Morris to lose his balance all of a sudden, which is too lenient if it is considered a reasonable penalty for the Premier League.

"But the referee has already made a decision, and it can't be changed," Alfi said regretfully.

That's a penalty!

A penalty could have made the difference between winning and losing a game, especially in a situation where Derby County is so passive, and a goal is even more important, but the referee's decision cannot be changed, even if it is wrong, it is a post-game problem, and it is no matter what it is now.

A lot of people know that, but this is the Pride Stadium, and the Derby County fans are clearly not going to accept such a bad penalty for the team, with constant 'boo' sounds from the crowd, mixed with all sorts of name-calling, yelling and even intimidation.

These are all for the referee!

If you don't know about football, you will definitely think that Derby County fans are 'inferior', but in fact, Derby County fans are definitely quite good-tempered when they are treated like this at their own home stadium, and it is not surprising that if it were another stadium, it would be a fan who rushed into the stadium and beat the referee.

But in the end, Chelsea escaped
