Chapter 486 Ancelotti's Miscalculation

Chelsea and Newcastle originally had no grievances. In the past history of the Premier League, although they have had short-term brilliance, they have no grievances against each other. Moreover, the duel between them is neither a derby in the same city, nor a "red-blue duel" representing the middle class and low-income groups in England. not bad.

After entering the 90s, both Chelsea and Newcastle began to achieve relatively good results through the two chairmen. Chelsea relied on the Jewish Betts.

After entering the 21st century, the situation has changed. Pei Wei and Abramovich, two foreign tycoons who entered the Premier League strongly, chose Newcastle and Chelsea respectively, which immediately made the relationship between the two Premier League upstarts become incompatible. In the beginning, Pei Wei and Abramovich had a little sympathy for each other, but in order to gain honor and fame, the two teams inevitably had a head-on collision.

In the 03-04 season, Newcastle won the European Champions Cup, but the next season, Chelsea took away the Champions League, and it was Newcastle who were eliminated in the semi-finals. However, Newcastle's victory in the league made Newcastle fans ecstatic. In the 05-06 season, Chelsea took away the league championship from Newcastle...

When interests conflict, it is understandable that two teams that had a good relationship become incompatible.

This season is very important to Mourinho, but it is not very important to Ancelotti!

Newcastle failed to win any championships in two seasons, and Chelsea won two league championships after Ancelotti took over, but never made a breakthrough in the Champions League.
Therefore, the direct confrontation between these two teams in the tenth round of the league will undoubtedly be a contest like sparks hitting the earth, and it will also be an important game that will affect the trend of the league!
Manchester United and Arsenal behind them are naturally praying secretly. It is best to lose both sides, and the best thing is to also hurt a few important players, such as Newcastle's Messi, Chelsea's Torres...

So when Terry unceremoniously brought down his national team teammate Gerrard in the midfield just after the start of the game, it is estimated that Queiroz and Wenger were secretly happy in their hearts.

The game was very intense. The two sides fought fiercely in the midfield as soon as they came up. Ancelotti's signature tactic is the [-] Christmas tree formation. After coming to Chelsea, he perfectly replicated this formation in Chelsea. Fighting can be described as tragic.

For a full 10 minutes, both sides were fighting in the midfield, and scenes of people turning their backs on their backs continued to appear. Although the scope of fighting was still normal, fierce competition was everywhere.

Naturally, Long Bisheng was also a part of it. Instead, Messi and Baxter, who were supposed to be ambushing behind him, moved forward to prevent Chelsea's defenders from joining the midfield fight. Given the speed of these two, giving them a chance would be tantamount to suicide.

The fighting is fierce and the players work hard, but there are fewer exciting scenes. Sometimes such heavyweight confrontations are not so exciting.

****************************************
The ball Carrick passed to Long Bisheng was intercepted by Mikel. Gerrard stepped forward to block it. Mikel immediately gave the ball to the veteran Lampard. Lampard did not let the ball stay at his feet.

Bosingwa dribbled the ball along the side and started to break through. Bell went up to meet him. Bosingwa immediately gave the ball to Kalou in the middle. Kalou saw that no one was coming up to defend him, so he immediately kicked a long shot from the top of the penalty area!
Cech made a beautiful side throw, firmly pressed the ball under his body, then quickly stood up, and kicked the ball forward with his big foot.

Long Bisheng ferried the ball down in front of Ivanovic, Messi caught the ball, Ashley Cole immediately went up to meet him, Messi pretended to split the side, attracted the opponent's attention, and then suddenly dunked the ball to the middle—forcibly breaking through!
"Messi! Go! Messi! Go!" Newcastle fans shouted frantically in the stands. Cole kept interfering with Messi from the side, but Messi had already occupied the position on the inside, and his interference did not have a good effect.

Kankan dribbled the ball to the vicinity of the penalty area, Messi suddenly stopped, and Cole, who couldn't stop, was thrown away a little distance, and he immediately posted it again, but Messi turned around and gently pushed the ball back.

Long Bisheng strode forward with astonishing momentum, swung his right foot while running, and was about to shoot directly from a long distance!

The 1.9-meter-four Serbian midfielder Makic made a fierce shovel from the side, and shoveled the ball from the front of Long Bisheng!

Long Bisheng withdrew his foot in time, so he didn't directly kick Makic's body that had already slid over.

The shoveled ball landed at Baxter's feet, and the young England boy didn't hesitate any longer, and fired a long-range shot directly on the left side of the penalty area. Reina showed his strength as Spain's No. [-] national goalkeeper, with a beautiful side throw, the ball was saved out of the baseline and a corner kick.

Long Bisheng shook his head, stretched out his hand and pulled up Majiqi who was still lying in front of him: "It was really dangerous just now, next time if you do this again, I will kick you down."

Makic's face changed. Although Long Bisheng stopped his foot in time, he could feel the power of the shot. If it was really kicked at him... Makic shook his head and replied: "If it happens again next time, I will still do it... Long, I heard Alexander (Kolarov) talk about you, even if you can't hold your foot, I won't resent you."

Long Bisheng smiled wryly, shrugged his shoulders, and ran into Chelsea's penalty area.

Bell took a corner kick, and Long Bisheng still grabbed the first point under the pincers of Markic and Terry, and went high under the interference of the opponent.

"Counterattack! Counterattack! Beat them back!" Ancelotti shouted from the sidelines. The Newcastle players on the field rushed back like a tide.

Reina directly passed the ball to the front, and Kalou grabbed the ball in front of Essien and gave it to Torres. The Spanish golden boy turned around and evaded Dawson's attack.

This was one of the few threatening attacks in the first half. In the first half, both sides consumed so much physical energy in the midfield fight that they seemed powerless after attacking the opponent's penalty area. Due to the overall lack of pressure, Long Bisheng did not get too many opportunities in the penalty area. Instead, Messi and Baxter got several good opportunities after he retreated. They used their speed and dexterity to create a lot of trouble for Chelsea's defense.

During the intermission, Ancelotti asked his players to keep an eye on Messi: "Ashley, you have to reduce the number of assists in the second half. Watching Messi is what you should do most. In the first half, he was very threatening and in good condition...and that Baxter, he has been in good form recently and scored a lot of goals. Bosingwa, he will leave it to you."

"Where's that two-meter tall man?" Captain Terry asked, raising his hand.

Ancelotti thought for a while: "Leave it to Ivan, but you can't be attracted by him. When he retreated outside the penalty area, Makic came to defend him. His performance in the first half was not very good. Although he ran actively, he didn't enter the penalty area many times. Outside the penalty area, just prevent his long-range shots. The rest of him can only be regarded as average."

Although he has never met Long Bisheng before, Ancelotti still knows him very well. This seemingly harmless fat man is actually an excellent tactical master, and he is a coach that makes the club president very worry-free.

But this time he miscalculated a bit.

After the start of the second half, Newcastle suddenly shifted the focus of their offense to Long Bisheng!
After a series of passes, Gerrard broke through with the ball. After attracting enough defensive attention, he did not distribute the ball to Messi and Baxter who were closely marked, but passed the ball to Long Bisheng who ran out of the penalty area.

Long Bisheng stopped the ball, but Ivanovic did not follow. Long Bisheng turned around immediately before Makic posted it. First, he made a fake shot to lure Makic to block, and then immediately dunked the ball to the side. After dodging the shooting angle, it was a long shot!
The ball roared and flew towards the lower left corner of the goal. Reina flew to save it, but the ball suddenly fell when it flew in front of his hand. After bouncing on the ground, it jumped over his hand and flew into the dead corner of the goal!
Only 3 minutes into the second half, Long Bisheng broke the deadlock with a long shot!
