Chapter 207: The Result of the Sadistic Heart
Barcelona played away at Stamford Bridge, according to the rules of the Champions League knockout round, 1 away goal is as precious as gold, not to mention that now Barcelona people don't want a draw, not just an away goal, but to take away a victory!
Mourinho frowned, watching Barcelona complete another substitution, Iniesta replaced Deco, he will not be a stranger to the young talent in the Barcelona team, and he has to strengthen the attack, where does Chelsea go?
Wright. Phillips replaces Robben and replaces an attacker with a player who can attack and defend, this is the choice Mourinho has been thinking about for a long time, obviously Mourinho does not want to give up, he still wants to give it a go.
At this time, the media commented on the game in this way, and they also felt that Chelsea were hanging.
The camera camera also gave the big boss Abu a few shots from time to time, looking at the big boss in the camera, how cold he was, and you knew how dangerous Chelsea was on the scene at the moment.
When Russia moved to Chelsea, they always expected the team to play attacking football, but now the scene they see is on their doorstep, which is ironic, isn't it?
After spending so much money, in exchange for losing face, it is no wonder that Abu has such a look.
In fact, it's no wonder that Abu will be like this, and if you think about it with your toes, you will know what kind of tone the media will use to evaluate this game after the game, Chelsea played ugly and practical, but it still can't stop the pace of Barcelona's gorgeous football, you will feel uncomfortable thinking about it, how can you still laugh as a big boss.
Jonk couldn't laugh at the moment, his brows furrowed. The mistakes that the Barcelona people have made once will not be made again, and it is impossible to sneak up on them again for a long distance. Now while Barcelona is pressing the attack, he has two big bodyguards next to him, Puyol and Van Brondhorst are not dry meals, as soon as the ball comes out, the two cooperate tacitly, one blocks Jonker, and the other handles the ball. Of course, you have to use some fouls when blocking.
There is no way, there is only this one routine, once it is targeted to death by the opponent. It's hard to get back into effect, Wright. Phillips was brought in to let him do both, and now he is completely stuck in the quagmire of defense and can't help.
Jonk himself was in front. There was no echo at all. I can't get the ball, I can't help it, I have to go back and try to kill myself.
It was a joke to go and grab the ball alone, but Jonk did it anyway, and he did it thoroughly, because he was not willing to fail, at least he couldn't attack. It also takes some of the pressure off your shoulders.
After waiting for a long time, I finally had a chance in the 79th minute. Frank Lampard broke the ball down the left and played the ball straight on, Gudjohnsen played a precise pass, Jonk stepped forward quickly without stopping the ball, and stabbed the ball before Puyol, and Valdés pounced on the ball with a side pounce.
The opportunity came out, but in fact, Jonker also grabbed his feet, there were not many options, Puyol's defense was very large and limited Jonk's shot, and the ball did not go in, and he was still a little annoyed.
But before Jonk could come out of his frustration, the sudden calm at Stamford Bridge made him realize something, and soon a whistle sounded, and the score on the big screen became 1:2!
Hell, was the pace of the game specifically designed to destroy Chelsea?
Just had a threatening attack, and in the blink of an eye Barcelona scored?
XXOOO!
Finally couldn't help it, and Jonk scolded this time.
It turned out that Valdés threw the ball to attack, Ronaldinho quickly counterattacked and broke through and passed straight to the left, Larsson passed back to Marcos, the Mexican made a precise cross, and Eto'o scored with a header from 5 yards in front of the goal on the right side of the small penalty area.
The precise two-foot pass was taking advantage of the space left behind Chelsea's attack, and if Jonk had scored the ball, it had already happened, and if it was worthless.
Jonk felt that this game was too TND bizarre, but one thing cannot be denied, Barcelona does have strength, and it is stronger than the last time they met.
I don't want to admit defeat, but if I lose, I lose, and there is the next round, just look at the shape on the field now, Chelsea can't attack, there is no power, but Barcelona is slowly slowing down the rhythm, the final outcome of this game will not change anymore, you can only wait for the next round!
1:2! Chelsea were eventually beaten at Stamford Bridge by visiting Barcelona, and after the game, Abu was no longer visible in the cameras, and the big boss had left early, and it was unknown what would await the Chelsea players.
Jose Mourinho's face is gloomy, he knows what it means to lose, those media will jump out and make irresponsible remarks, and he needs to think about more than that, how difficult will it be to turn the tables at the home of Barcelona at Camp Nou next game?
In 13 days, 13 days later, the fate of Chelsea's third attempt at the top of Europe in the 'Abu era' will be decided. The Blues were on the brink of death after the defeat at home, and the conditions for a comeback were demanding: a win was not enough, and a 1-2 scoreline meant that Chelsea would have to not only win but also score at least two goals if they were to knock out Barca.
To put it more clearly, if Chelsea win 2-0, the Blues will be reborn and Barcelona will be out; If Chelsea win 2-1, the game will go to extra time; If both sides play higher, Chelsea will advance as long as they win. However, it will not be easy to pull off a big comeback away from home. There has been only one precedent in the history of the Champions League in the last 10 years: in the 1995-96 semi-finals, Ajax were beaten by Panathinaikos by a single goal at home, and the defending champions then won by three goals away to reach the final. Ten years on, there is no team that has come back from home after a home defeat in the knockout stages of the Champions League.
With 13 days, there are only 13 days left for Jose Mourinho and his Chelsea army to break the 10-year record. Do the Blues still have a chance? The answer is yes.
First, after 13 days, it is no surprise that the Blues defence will welcome the return of key player Gallas. The French Magnum suffered a thigh strain in the Premier League and missed the opening game. Officiating Orno, who replaced him, was mercilessly teased by Messi, and a red card of more than 30 minutes in the first half set the tone for the outcome of the game. Jose Mourinho can not worry about this red card. Because Gallas's comeback can make him forget about the hapless Orno.
Secondly, three of Chelsea's main players with "cards" Terry, Arjen Robben and Frank Lampard kept their "clean sheets" in this game. The core of the third line sits in place, once one or more of them explode on the spot. It will be a fatal threat to Barcelona.
Thirdly, how much energy can be expected from Chelsea who have thrown off their burdens, miracles are happening all the time on the football field, and who can say that the next miracle maker will not be Chelsea?
Mourinho has all the questions on his mind, but he still has to adjust to deal with another game, media interviews and press conferences after the game.
Once again, the referee was the focus of the game. Chelsea capsized at home. The key turning point of the match was undoubtedly the red card for a foul on Messi by Del Horno. Famous mouth Andy. Gray described it as a "terrible" decision.
At that time, Robben did not break the ball in time when defending Messi on the left side of his side. As a result, the Argentine snatched the ball back. Arjen Robben put his shovel into the air, and Del Horno rushed up from the front, and although he raised his foot, he still retracted his foot on contact. Knocked the Argentine teenager to the ground with his body. A number of players from both sides came forward to argue for the foul. The game was delayed for a while, and the referee Haug directly showed a red card to send Del Horno off, which undoubtedly seemed a bit harsh.
Public opinion suspects that the referee may have counted the new and old accounts of a hurtful action by Del Horno four minutes before the collision. At that time, Del Horno kicked Messi's knee with a pedaling movement, but Hayug did not say anything, strictly speaking. The foul deserved a yellow card. In the third minute of stoppage time in the first half, another time the referee was suspected of finding a balance. Max's shot was blocked by Geremi's outstretched arm, but the game went on.
After the game, Sky TV reporters just wanted to ask Mourinho what he thought of the loss, but the latter actually asked: "What do Sky guests think?" The journalist replied: "They all agree that it is not a red card." Mourinho immediately humorously said: "Then you can repeat this scene 200 times a day for a week, as you did last time for a foul on Essien [against Liverpool], so that UEFA can revise the suspension decision." Can you help me with this? ”
Mourinho said: "That kid (Messi) is not only a good player, but he will do something else. It wasn't a red card, the second time we had to play 55 to 60 minutes less. I shouldn't talk about this game because it's not a game at all. After the red card, it wasn't a clean game. ”
Mourinho fired again, and before he even entered the scene of the post-match press conference, he had already fired a few shots, which undoubtedly excited the media.
Sure enough, the red card was the focus of post-match contention, with the Champions Cup clash between Chelsea and Barcelona repeating last season's rivalry: the first leg was 2-1 with a remarkably similar scoreline, a refereeing controversy after Del Horno's red card, and even hot-headed Blues fans intimidating referee Hauger on duty.
After the game, Mourinho scolded Messi angrily: "How do you say acting in Catalan? Can Messi be an actor? Barcelona is a city with a lot of culture, and as you know, there are a lot of high-quality theaters there. Are we going to send our frontline team anyway? Or do you just send a second-tier team and focus on the league and the FA Cup? ”
Del Horno said: "Showbiz needs to perform, football is a sport after all. Messi is too young to learn these things, someone in Barcelona taught him badly. Gudjohnsen said: "We need a good referee for an important game like this, and that's not an exaggeration. It's a big decision in this game, look at the replay footage, where is this a red card? Ask anyone who has seen this qiē and they won't say it's a straight red card. Messi's rolling around on the ground obviously didn't help, but the referee should withstand the pressure. ”
But Messi immediately countered this: "From the first tackle Del Orno made on me, it was clear that he was coming at my knee. The tackle hurt more than the one he was sent off and immediately gave me a shoe print. It was even more evident in the second tackle, when I passed Robben and Del Horno immediately rushed towards me, his foot clearly lifted the ball, and he was going to take me off. So I jumped. He didn't hurt me. I didn't fake a fall. ”
Messi's teammates also cheered him on. Van Bronckhorst said: "I was far from the place of the incident, but the mark on Messi's leg was terrible, it was 20 centimeters long. Puyol also said: "If Mourinho has doubts. Just look at Messi's legs. Deco added: "I believe it was a very hard tackle. Eto'o said: "The referee is the one who makes the decision on the pitch and he thinks Del Horno deserves a red card. ”
Hauger also came out to defend his decision: "People will discuss whether it should be a yellow card. I think it's important to look at the incident in the way it was playing. If you watch a slow-motion replay, you'll be fooled by the camera and misestimate the strength of his movements. The red card was a pivotal moment in the game, but I felt good. It was a rough tackle and he tackled at this pace. I couldn't control myself anymore, I had no other choice but to show the red card immediately. This has nothing to do with Messi's reaction. Both I and the assistant referee agreed on this. ”
But last season's case of Swedish referee Frieske being whistled for intimidation prompted many Chelsea fans to immediately post threatening posts on the official BBS and a Norwegian fan site. For example, there is a post titled "Congratulations, this is your last game as an international referee".
Chelsea, who had been penalised by UEFA in the previous incident, immediately issued an official statement: "Chelsea fully condemns any threat to referees, officials, players and fans of any club or football organisation. After yesterday's game. There are some insulting posts posted on the official BBS. That's just a fraction of the 4,000 posts, though. The posts were deleted immediately after Chelsea became aware of them. ”
Chelsea have warned their fans that the club will take a drastic approach: 'If Chelsea can track down those who posted them, if they are Chelsea season ticket owners or members, then we will take immediate action against them. Chelsea have monitored posts on their official website before, but now we need to revisit those procedures. We would like to emphasise that it is not certain that these posts were posted by Chelsea fans at this time, as the forum is fully open to the public. Again, we have no control over other fan forums. Fan websites that claim to have links to Chelsea in the UK and abroad are also open to the public. ”
At the same time, Hayuge also received a lot of text messages and posts in support of him. UEFA have also indicated that they are likely to pursue Mourinho's words.
Of course, the perfect game is also inseparable from the performance of the superstar.
After last weekend's 5-1 home win over Betis, Ronaldo was ready to leave the pitch when he suddenly remembered something when he entered the players' entrance, retreated and hurried towards the stands. It turned out that Ronaldo had promised before the game that he would give the jersey to a young fan. When Ronaldo found him and handed him the jersey, the little fan also gave him a gift in return: a small box of yogurt endorsed by Ronaldo. Xiao Luo took it with a smile, and the child's father said to Xiao Luo seriously: "If you drink it, you won't be afraid of Chelsea's sweeping legs." ”
The Spanish media said that John Terry was the most "polite" person at Chelsea, but there were rumors that Terry had made a statement before the game to give Ronaldo a taste of the legs. For this statement, Xiao Luo laughed at it: "Want to kick me? Come on! I'm ready to get out of the way. Terry once said that he likes Xiao Luo's style of play, but "like" does not mean humble, everyone is a professional player, even if he really comes to sweep the hall twice, maybe Xiao Luo who drinks yogurt is not afraid.
Barcelona fans are concerned about who Mourinho will send to "eat" Ronaldo. Last season's target was Patrick Ferreira, and when he heard that this time it might be Real Madrid's veteran Geremi, people joked with former Real Madrid coach Bosque: "Is Mourinho like you, who likes power players?" Bosque also smiled: "No, Geremi is certainly powerful, but Xiao Luo is crazy, and one or two people can't stand it." ”
Ronaldo is still cautious: "Chelsea are a strong team, you can't think too well about the first leg, and the right to qualify may be decided in Campano. The important thing is that we should stick to our style of play and try to win if we play well. ”
When it comes to physical fitness, Xiao Luo has reached 100%. The two league suspensions have long made him a refueling motor. In terms of cooperation, Xiao Luo is very skilled with Messi and Motta. Van Bronckhorst's assists are not as frequent as Silvinho's, and Motta's passes are not as many as Xavi and Iniesta, but Ronaldo said that these are not problems, and he can solve anything by running more and taking the initiative to receive the ball more.
After the start of the game, it was discovered that Mourinho was still using Ferreira against Ronaldo this time, and it was not until Del Horno was sent off that Gremi came on to take over the responsibility of guarding Ronaldo. After withstanding a wave of Chelsea's opening attack, Ronaldo's Barca attacking duo began to apply pressure. In the 24th and 30th minutes, Ronaldo's two shots were threatening.
Due to the large recovery of Chelsea with one less man, Ronaldo's space was compressed, and Ferreira and Geremi, who later replaced Ferreira at right-back, both pressed Ronaldo closely, and Ronaldo had to retreat to midfield to get the ball. Despite this, Barcelona still led the way in terms of possession and chances: at the end of the first half, Barcelona had 64% of the ball and had an 8-3 lead in shots on goal.
After Chelsea scored in the second half, Rijkaard brought on Larsson on the left and Ronaldo returned to midfield, a move that paid off immediately. Since then, Barcelona's two goals have come from Xiao Luo's planning: first, a free kick guide zhì Trie pendulum own goal (this is the third opponent's defensive "accident" caused by Xiao Luo in two games); He then started dribbling the ball from the back, drew all the defenders and played a clever pass to Larsson, which was eventually headed in by Samuel Eto'o.
Although he didn't score a goal and wasn't as radiant as Messi, Xiao Luo's performance in the midfield was still remarkable. In a PK against last year's individual award contender, Frank Lampard, Ronaldo once again had the upper hand.
If Ronaldinho is a superstar on Barcelona's side, Chelsea's superstar is undoubtedly Jonker.
Even the opponent Barcelona players agreed with Jonker's threat, not to mention that the Barcelona players said Jonker's name in post-match media interviews, he is the most dangerous on the field at Chelsea.
It's just that Jonker himself doesn't care much about the outside world, the game is lost, no matter what happens personally, the team still loses, he knows that Mourinho will stand up and take responsibility and attention as much as possible, this is no secret in Chelsea Club, players can not face the media after the loss, because the manager has led the media away.
The more this is the case, the more Jonker feels that what should be returned to the manager should be a win, a red card or something, he doesn't want to say, but it's true that the game is too bizarre, and it's true that Chelsea lack control of the game, what can control the game, Jonker doesn't know, is it to score more goals, or something else?
Anyway, it's better to not have the media to bother now, as for the regular goal, whatever you like to say, you can say it, he won't express his opinion, he is not in the mood.
Far away in the east of China, many fans seem to be able to understand Jonker's mood, the game is obviously very hard, there are beautiful and perfect goals, but the game just can't be won, this is not a personal responsibility, but the team's problem, Chelsea played very ugly, as a supporter of Jonk, should also support Chelsea, but after watching this game, many people feel aggrieved, it seems that Chelsea is not worthy of Jonck, a few poor shots on goal, if there are a few more chances, all believe that Jonk can still score, but unfortunately there is no!
Of course, these are just late-night boring people who discuss in the forums, but this does represent the voice of some fans, and attacking players should go to a team with a sharper attack and a more open style of play.
As for the next home, the fans didn't find Jonker, but the first thing Rijkaard did when he returned to Barcelona was to find Marcelo, who was in charge of contacting the players in the Athletic Department, and asked him to contact Jonker's agent and find out what the agent was talking about.
Privately contact the player's agent, any club often does this kind of thing, and many transfers are also made through the guò agent to get the player in advance, and then let the player put pressure on the original club to promote, Real Madrid often does this, and Barcelona will certainly not do less.
Talents are rare, do you strike first?
Jonker is the player Rijkaard wants to bring in the most, not one of them. (To be continued......)
