Chapter 206: Whose Hand Is the Deer Dead?
"In the second half, it was like that, the defense was in good shape, and they didn't have much to do. Take a chance, and the victory will be completely in our favor, and then we will win! ”
In the dressing room of the home team at Stamford Bridge, several people sat around and discussed the first half of the game with each other, but Jonker's words spoke to the hearts of all the players, he spoke like a manager assigning the task of the game: "However, we still have to be careful of the opponent's attack, we must defend well, as long as the defense is solid, we will be invincible." ”
After Jonk finished speaking, he looked at the eyes of his teammates looking at him, and felt a little proud in his heart.
After Mourinho finished speaking, Jonk said a few more words, and everyone also found out that this kid is particularly attentive to this game, which has not happened in previous games.
John Terry was the first to give him an approving look, as did Frank Lampard below, and everyone agreed with him, rather than being nagging or being shallow.
Makelle was a little excited, and he was secretly blaming himself in his heart, why can't he do it, he can't say such a thing, the gap, this is the gap off the field!
At the same time, in the away dressing room at Stamford Bridge, Rijkaard was standing in the dressing room with a sad face, trying to do the mental work of the players.
Actually, he is not very good at this, but if the morale of the Barcelona players drops in the later games, it becomes an 'impossible task' to try to get the opponent in the second half.
Of course, he also understands how the players feel at the moment, as a former superstar. He understands the mentality of the players on the pitch, Barcelona played hard in the first half and always took the initiative on the field. But when it comes to really threatening shots, it was the Chelsea attacking that made an impression, and in fact Barcelona didn't get a good chance to score.
After beating someone for a long time, they didn't do anything, and once they returned their arms, they almost knocked down the beater.
It's not a joke, that's sometimes the case in football. Rijkaard hates this feeling very much, and he has the ability to open up the attack, but Chelsea don't dare. It's good now, it's awkward for Barcelona, and the players are a little lacking in confidence in attacking.
'You have to attack, Chelsea are a bunch of bitches. And we are fighting like this. It's the same with other strong teams, like a pug, if you have to stick to it, you can't kick it away. ”
Rijkaard doesn't like to joke, but his morale-boosting words made all the Barcelona players laugh.
The coach who spoke was also a little confused, shouldn't he be the same enemy, yelling to beat the dog?
Anyway. The effect is still about the same.
'As soon as we can score a goal in the opening game, the form will completely fall in our side. However, you still have to be careful of the opponent's No. 25, his speed is too fast, be careful of his counterattack. ”
When the players of both teams return to the pitch, it is a sign that the second half of the game is about to begin. Fans who had left their seats at halftime returned to their seats, and the blue Stamford Bridge pitch was back to the way it was when it was played.
The fans of the twin serve are constantly demonstrating against each other, relatively speaking, the smaller Barcelona fans are much weaker, but they are full of confidence, Barcelona is the same wherever they are, and they have no reason to back down or cowardly when they play so that the opponent can't raise their heads.
The war in the spectator stand was largely only a corner, with most Chelsea fans out of reach of the Barcelona fans, and when the players from both teams came on the pitch, all eyes were on the pitch and on the performance of the players who got the football.
…………
The players from both teams were already standing on the pitch, and the Chelsea players stood in a circle around them, and with a neat 'come on', the crowd dispersed on the pitch to take their positions, waiting for the game to resume.
"Come on, brothers, they're not opponents" At this time, Jonk also shouted to cheer on his teammates.
As soon as the whistle blew, the fierce competition on the pitch began again.
At halftime, Barcelona coach Rijkaard has explained their tactics to all the players, this tactic is undoubtedly attacking, attacking, and attacking, there is no good way to deal with Chelseamen, unless they want a draw, but the Barcelona army that vowed to take revenge at Stamford Bridge does not want a draw, they want to conquer Stamford Bridge, they really have no reason not to attack, this is really Barcelona football, attack has been integrated into the blood of every Barcelona.
So, just at the beginning, the Barcelona players collectively pressed forward a lot, and it was clear that they just wanted to take advantage of the opening moment to equalize and turn the situation back into their own hands.
"Stand in a good position and watch the people" in the backfield, the busiest is obviously the captain John. Terry, who is not just a defensive titan but also plays the role of defensive commander in the rear, keeps him a little busy.
Barcelona's attacking ability is really strong, for a long time in the second half, they completely took the initiative, even Jonker had to admit in his heart that Chelsea's attack could not be compared with Barcelona at all, with this offensive ability, it was really easy to score another goal, and Chelsea's backfield situation became precarious.
In this case, Jonker had no choice but to run back from the backfield to participate in the defense.
In the 48th minute, Ronaldinho passed straight to the right side of the penalty area, and Messi's shot was blocked by Carvalho in time. Ronaldinho then passed the ball and Eto'o broke away from Graimi and Carvalho before bursting into the left side of the box to lead Petr Cech and returning the ball, Ronaldinho's shot from the edge of the box was blocked by John Terry in front of an empty goal.
Just two minutes later, on the edge of the box, Samuel Eto'o was tripped by Carvalho as he picked up the ball and accelerated to break through, Barcelona were awarded a well-placed free-kick that Ronaldinho fired straight over the crossbar from 25 yards out on the left.
The two teams were in full swing, but the balance on the pitch was soon shattered, and it was not the goal that appeared, but the magic hand that hung behind Chelsea.
In the 52nd minute, Messi broke through Robben on the right and caught up with Del Horno knocked the Argentine over from behind, and the Barcelona players expressed dissatisfaction with it and caused a dispute between the two sides. Hauge sent Del Horno off with a red card.
Mourinho then replaced Joe Cole with Geremi to keep the defence intact. Ferreira switched to the left wing.
Jonker watched in amazement as he watched everything that had happened in just a few minutes, his mind went blank, and the red card and Joe Cole were gone. The only person who can form an effective cooperation with him is also gone, can this ball still be played?
Regardless of whether the red card was correct or not, all of a sudden Jonker felt that the game was going to hang, it was a feeling of no reason, but this feeling was very bad, and he had to score as soon as possible and let the opponent score. That might well have come true.
The Chelsea players were stunned to withstand the first five minutes of the game with one less man, and it has to be said that the team trained by Mourinho has a kind of outrageous stability. The morale of one and the other, they really withstood it!
During this time, Chelsea were pressed by Barcelona and had to retreat to their own backfield because the space became smaller. Barcelona's players have a harder time catching the ball. Ronaldinho and Deco and others felt this way, but they had to continue to attack aggressively, so Barcelona's attack pressed more and more.
In the eyes of fans, Barcelona's players seem to be desperate to score, this situation makes Chelsea's defense even more precarious, Jonk has even stood on the line of the penalty area to participate in the defense, this situation has not happened in the whole season, which shows the strength of Barcelona's attack. Indeed, Chelsea's toughest opponent since the start of the season.
At this time. Barcelona fans also kept shouting from the stands: "Score! Goal! ”
Yes, Barcelona are just missing a goal right now.
Jonker has been standing near the edge of his own penalty area, and his defensive task is to keep an eye on Ronaldinho, not allowing him to participate in Barca's attack, and looking for opportunities to break the ball.
For Jonker, it is really very simple to stare at an opposing offensive player, even if the opponent is the world footballer, and on the contrary, Ronaldinho is the most depressed person in the game, he can't receive the pass from his teammates at all, and for 5 minutes in a row, he hasn't even touched the football.
At this time, he realized that the black-haired kid next to him was not only a great threat in the attack, but also collapsed when he participated in the defense.
However, as the core of Barcelona's attack and the engine of the team, Ronaldinho has to work hard to get rid of Jonker's defense, and he can't just give in, which is not only a matter of face, but also a winning heart as the world's top footballer.
However, it is not so simple to get rid of Jonker's defense, and after nearly 10 minutes of communication, Ronaldinho even felt that the brunette next to him would have a better future to play as a defender.
At this time, Jonker's mind was not all on Ronaldinho, he had been observing Barcelona's attack, observing the position of their players, and constantly thinking about where to find a breakthrough if counterattacking at this time.
However, after 10 minutes of careful observation, Jonk did not find that Barcelona's defense had too many holes, but they pressed too forward, making the middle extremely dense, and Chelsea's attack could not pass through the blockade of the midfield, which made Chelsea have little chance to counterattack.
"Anti-offside?"
The word instantly popped into Jonker's mind, and it suddenly brightened his mind.
In recent times, due to the strength of his team-mates at Chelsea, he has put more attention on the team, but it is undeniable that even if he can score in every game, it still limits his strength.
Even if I thought about this problem before, Jonk didn't pay too much attention to it, anyway, the team is also a victory, so what does it matter how you play?
However, now that the team is in crisis, if it continues like this, the opponent is likely to equalize, and Jonk can't help but gamble with the strength of his teammates and his personal strength.
As all Premier League teams know, counter-attacking has always been Chelsea's killer feature, but for what?
Because Chelsea have Jonker, Robben, and Duff, these three are very fast and cooperate tacitly, if the pressure is too high, then with Jonker's own strength, he can create a very threatening counterattack.
And now, Jonk is involved in defense in the backfield, which makes his strength unable to play at all, and it is really overkill to freeze Ronaldinho.
Thinking of this, Jonk couldn't help but feel a little emotional, he still attached too much importance to this game, and the authorities were fascinated. As long as he stands near the halfway line, it is a serious deterrent to any team, how can Barcelona let go and continue to play like this?
Thereupon. Jonker said hello to captain John Terry, gave up defending Ronaldinho and walked straight to near the halfway line.
If he had done so at the start of the second half, he would have been a source of great vigilance among the Barca players, but with so long on the line, Chelsea's occasional counter-attack was almost uneventful. There was no threat at all, which made the Barcelona players feel that Chelsea had to retreat to the defence, so even the Barcelona defenders standing near the halfway line saw this. I didn't pay much attention to it.
Isn't it normal for a striker to be at the forefront of the team?
In another attack from Barcelona, Deco was brought to the ground directly by Makelele on the wing, and Colina did not blow the whistle. Signal that this is a good ball. After the French fierce man Makelle won the ball, a big foot drove towards the front.
At this time, Barcelona's half was almost empty, and the location of the football was 10 meters away from the penalty area.
However, almost as soon as football reached its highest point and began to fall, the Barcelona fans in the audience became vigilant. Because they saw a blue figure, running ahead of them at a speed close to the limits of human beings. There is no need to go to who it is, now on the court, the only one who can run at this speed of the two teams is Jonker!
Seeing this, the Chelsea fans in the Stamford Bridge stands and the neutral fans all started to shout Jonker's name, while the Barcelona fans were so nervous that they let out even more frantic boos to silence the shouts.
In such a noisy environment, Jonker was lucky with all his luck and devoted himself to the 100-meter sprint, and those Barcelona players who were also running in the super backfield only saw a gust of black wind blowing by, and then they could only follow behind and eat ashes.
At this moment, everyone at the Camp Nou really understood what speed 1 second is.
2 seconds.
3 seconds.
The ball had fallen to the grass, and Jonk was still about 10 meters away from that point.
4 seconds.
Goalkeeper Valdés finally realized the danger and rushed out of the goal in a frenzy.
5 seconds.
6 seconds.
Under the incredulous gaze of everyone in the audience, Jonk finally felt that Valdés had chased the ball before, and turned to swoop hard, and the ball jumped over Valdés's head towards the goal, and at the same time Jonk also started to chase the ball again.
7 seconds.
Jonk stops the ball and heads towards Barca's empty goal.
8 seconds.
Jonker dribbled the ball into the Barcelona goal.
Sky TV, Lineker let out the longest roar since the start of the game, this goal is so relieved, Barcelona besieged Chelsea normally, but now it was taken less than 10 seconds by Jonker alone to bring the ball into Barcelona's goal, what could be sharper than this?
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO That's right, scored, Jonk scored! It was Chelsea's Jonker who scored and he gave us hope, fantastic, God would praise a player like that, how else could he praise him for a long run and a solo savior? ”
“1:0! Chelsea finally got the lead, and with one man less, Chelsea took the lead! ”
Ronaldinho stood on the line of the big penalty area and stopped, he looked at the black-haired boy in the goal and the football at his feet, and couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness, hesitation, and helplessness in his heart.
From the moment Makelle broke the ball and drove to the front, he realized the danger and ran hard to the backfield, but he only crossed the halfway line not long ago, but the ball had already scored, which was too fast Originally, before the game started, many media asked him what he thought of Jonker, in his opinion, the Chelsea kid is no different from Messi, just the little brother who follows his ass, and he doesn't need to pay attention to it!
And now this ball really makes Ronaldinho speechless, at least, he knows that his speed is indeed very Jonker can not be compared, thinking about the speed just now, he even feels that there is no hope for this game.
As a player chasing victory, it is the most desperate thing to lose sight of the hope of victory.
Barcelona coach Rijkaard, who was on the sidelines, sat in the dugout with a calm face, and he watched the whole process of the goal.
Rijkaard already knew that his team's defense was not good. In the encounters with many low-level teams, Barcelona often conceded goals before the game started. He didn't want to win with defense, and Barcelona always relied on attack. But the ball just now, let the Dutch feel that they may be a bit of a dead end, football has always been offensive to win honor, defense to win, without a good defense, what is the use of scoring more goals?
Now the score on the pitch has become 1:0. It's not easy to tie the score.
With this scoreline, Rijkaard already knew that there would be no possibility of a draw in the game, either Barcelona would sink or Chelsea would be slaughtered. In any case, the prelude to the big battle was kicked off by this goal.
At this point, the whole of Stamford Bridge had its most lively moment since the opening kick-off, with Chelsea fans letting a tsunami sweep through the stands in a sea of blue and the roars of nearly 50,000 people. Crazy shouting. Such an effect is not what a tsunami is.
Look at the Barcelona players with their heads down, they are so helpless and pitiful in them, but they have not given up, in fact, they understand that the advantage is on their side, all they need is to turn it into a goal, as for the problem of conceding again, the Barcelona players automatically blocked.
Jonker was very happy after the goal. He's only just returned to the halfway line. But the opportunity came so quickly, which also surprised him. And now that the ball is in, he believes in his choice even more.
He was involved in the team's defence throughout the second half, but now he can score a goal after only a few minutes of attacking hard, and this difference has taught Jonker that what he is best at and what he should do is attacking, and unless he encounters stronger teams, Chelsea's defense really doesn't involve much of him.
But does a stronger opponent than Chelsea really exist? Perhaps? He looked at the Barcelona players who were preparing to kick off!
When the game restarted, the emotions of the players of both teams gradually calmed down, and at this time, Jonk found that many Barcelona players had indifferent expressions, and their performance in the attack was not timid at all, and they were all frantically engaged in the attack.
Oh, yes! A goal is not enough to destroy the fighting spirit and confidence of a team as strong as Barcelona!
They are still working hard, no matter whose home stadium it is, whose territory it is, they always show the attack of the Barça people.
It's a respectable opponent and a scary opponent, and of course Jonker wants that one-goal advantage to be maintained until the end, but now it looks like that feeling is about to come.
Sure enough, Barcelona equalised in the 72nd minute when Carvalho fouled Larsson on the edge of the box, Ronaldinho took a free-kick from 25 yards on the left, and John Terry scrambled to head the ball into the far corner.
Hell, this game is simply about destroying everything for the Chelsea people, first sending off a man, finally scoring a lead, but letting the opponent tie the score with his own goal from the captain, can you talk a little more nonsense!
Jonk was speechless, could it be more bizarre? Own goal! He almost wanted to scold!
There is no way, the pressure at the back is too great, and Terry is also busy making mistakes, no wonder the captain, I can only say that I am unlucky.
Anyway, the Chelsea players found a better reason to re-engage in the game with their own psychological comfort.
At this point, the score on the big screen has become 1:1!
As the leaders of La Liga, Barcelona clearly do not want to let Chelsea go.
So, under the watchful eyes of everyone in the audience, Rijkaard finally walked to the edge of the grass and called Ronaldinho to give instructions for the next tactics.
Speaking of tactics, in fact, Rijkaard has no good way, now Chelsea on the field is very tight, if you want to score goals, you have to think like just now, use the opponent's mistakes to create killing opportunities, what he said is to let Ronaldinhodo observe and remind Messi several attacking players to catch the opponent's mistakes.
It's very general, but the players know how to do it, to put it bluntly, it is to find a sick man to start, keep attacking a certain point, can you make mistakes without mistakes, there will always be mistakes when there are more opportunities, so that a good opportunity for Barcelona will appear.
Who should I look for? Terry?
Not against anyone, Ronaldinho is conveying against the entire Chelsea backline!
Chelsea are in trouble, Mourinho can't see it, but what can he do? (To be continued......)
