Xu Zhu's Successor's Football Journey

Chapter 331 17! ! !

Facing Chelsea's continuous ferocious offensive, the Portsmouth team was completely overwhelmed, and the confidence of many players became less and less.Of course, there are also some players who want to continue to attack and score a goal, saving some face for Portsmouth in front of many fans——
Fortunately, after a big lead, Chelsea's defense became a little loose.

In the 77th minute of the game, Portsmouth's Congo striker Lualua took advantage of a tactical free kick and finally made a contribution to the team with a header and scored a face-saving goal. After the goal, the The big black guy also did three backflips in a row like Wang Li, and this action seemed to be provoking Wang Li.

But in fact, this is just a celebratory move that Lua Lua, who practiced gymnastics since childhood, likes to do. Although in the Premier League, he is not a too dazzling striker, even many fans do not know his name, but when it comes to celebrating However, many people will remember him. This kind of celebration with some dangers is really rare.

"Alan, do you think he is provoking you?" Seeing the celebration of the Portsmouth team, Joe Cole walked up to Wang Li, pointing his finger in that direction and sarcastically.

Wang Li put two fingers on his chin, made a thoughtful movement, kept his eyes on that direction, and said after a while: "His movements are not standard. When he landed, his legs were stretched too straight. It's easy to cause muscle strain."

"I heard that kid was a gymnast when he was a child? Should this be a standard movement?"

"so what?"

"...Well, your movements are standard enough, and you will score another goal later, so that you will have the opportunity to demonstrate a standard backflip to that black kid." Joe Cole looked helplessly at the stubborn black-haired boy in front of him. , he spread his hands, and continued laughingly: "But it's best to assist me once, I haven't scored a goal yet!"

"Don't worry, I will pass it on to you if I have the chance, but your proposal is very good, haha!!"

The conversation between the two didn't last long, because Portsmouth's goal celebration didn't last long. Before the game started, coach Zajech had told them that the goal of this game was to score two goals. A goal, but now only scored one and did not complete the task. Besides, with a score of 1:5 in front of so many fans, even scoring a goal is really nothing to celebrate.

Except for Lualua, I am afraid that other players are not happy. Even celebrating a goal is just a formality.

However, after the game restarted, the morale that the Portsmouth players had accumulated just because of their team's goals disappeared in an instant. Chelsea's offensive was still fierce, especially the black-haired boy with number 21 on the other side. Almost omnipotent, no defensive player can stop him.

Last season, Portsmouth also played against Wolverhampton. Although they lost that game, they were still able to limit the performance of this black-haired kid. Portsmouth's lineup has not changed this season. Great, many players on the field are veterans of last season, but they found that the team's defense seemed to have no effect on Chelsea, especially the black-haired kid.

This also made Chelsea's offense almost able to penetrate Portsmouth's defense, which made the interim head coach Zayech on the sidelines look terrified, even if his goal was just to allow the team to score two goals. But 2:5 and 2:10 are by no means a concept. If Chelsea scores too many goals, even two goals cannot make up for it.

At this point in the game, Portsmouth had no chance of winning at all, which made many Portsmouth fans bored watching, but they did not choose to leave the field. It should be said that very few people exited the field now. Because many, many fans want to see Chelsea's performance and strength. Chelsea's record is really a miracle now. Even if they are opponents now, it is a rare opportunity to watch the game of this miracle team, isn't it?Besides, there are a lot of England players in the Chelsea team, so——
Think of it as a friendly match between Portsmouth VS England! !

Now, Portsmouth fans can only use this kind of words to comfort themselves. Seeing that their favorite team is behind by 4 goals, they really have no hope for the game at all.

Just like the thoughts of these fans, after 83 minutes of the game, Chelsea scored again, this time it was Joe Cole! !
Joe Cole, this English player is really inconspicuous in the star-studded Chelsea. Many people even forget that there is such a genius in Chelsea. They only know Wang Li, Drogba, Lampard, Alkin Robben..., but this time Joe Cole finally shined at Falton Park. Under the eyes of the fans and reporters, he took advantage of a corner kick to lob the penalty area, and he rushed to the top and scored for the team. 6th goal.

This goal was also what Joe Cole had been looking forward to for a long time. After scoring the goal, he ran all over the field excitedly, and finally fell down and glided towards the stands of the Blues fans. At the same time, he pointed his hands to the sky and kept shouting excitedly. It's an expression of excitement after scoring a goal, but how can it not be a vent of depressing mood! ?

In the current Chelsea team, Joe Cole has to compete with Damien Duff, Alkin Robben, Lampard, Wang Li and others for his position. The latter's performance in the game is getting better and better, and Joe Cole's position is becoming more and more unstable. He even sometimes thinks about leaving Chelsea, because even Joe Cole is competing with these fans. Cole doesn't have much confidence in himself. Don't look at him laughing and joking all day long, but he sees his position very clearly in his heart.

But this time, he finally scored a goal! !
Although this kind of goal is not what he is good at, but a goal is a goal, which will also add a strong stroke to his position competition. As a winger, not scoring for a long time will definitely affect his mood.

"Chelsea scored again. This time it was Joe Cole, a talented player from Stamford Bridge. He scored the sixth goal for Chelsea. Now the score is 6:1. I feel a little sympathetic to Portsmouth now. Their players can persist until now, and they are still very energetic against Chelsea. I have to admit that they all have a big heart, but this is definitely not enough. I hope they can continue to work hard and don’t lose goals.” Graham's voice was a bit hoarse. At the beginning, he only liked Wang Li for Chelsea, but as he commented on Chelsea's games more and more, he found that he fell in love with Joe Cole, Ronaldo Ben and even Wayne Bridger, now, have fallen in love with what the media call the 'Sterling Team' because they have so many good players.

"Chelsea!! Chelsea!! Chelsea!!"

At this time, the Portsmouth fans in the audience were speechless, and only the Chelsea fans were shouting in unison. cheering for the team.If someone who doesn't understand football looks at it, he will even think that this is a match at Chelsea's home court.

At this time, Mourinho on the coaching bench seemed to feel that the team had already played well. This feeling was very strange. You must know that the game has reached the last moment. At this time, the players have not much physical strength. And Chelsea has already led by 5 goals. Under such circumstances, it is really strange to play in a state.

The Portuguese's sense is very keen, just 5 minutes later, Chelsea's arrival seems to have come.

Lampard cooperated with Wang Li at the front of the penalty area, but was directly put to the ground by Portsmouth's rear. Chelsea got a free kick. The ball was about 35 meters away from the goal. It should be said that the position was very good. It's not good, not only the distance is a little far, but the angle is also very small.

It was still Wang Li who took the free kick. He didn't think about how to cooperate with his teammates. In fact, now that Chelsea are leading by 5 goals, all the players in the field are playing freely. They are not so eager to score goals at all, so After hearing the referee's whistle, he slapped the lower edge of the football and chose to shoot directly.

This shot is really stinky, not only the angle and position, but also the power is not at all. This is mainly because Portsmouth's crowd is too tight this time, and Wang Li can't find him and him. The passage between the goals, but luck is really unstoppable, the football flew over the wall in the air and flew directly into the opponent's goalkeeper's arms, but the opponent's goalkeeper chose to pounce the ball stupidly, this may be Probably because he was really afraid of Wang Li.

Anyway, in the end the ball bounced off the keeper's calf and let Portsmouth lose for the seventh time, making it 7-1 in the closing stages of the game.

The Portsmouth players were dumbfounded. They reacted and immediately complained about the poor performance of the goalkeeper, but the Portsmouth goalkeeper was the most depressed. You know, these Premier League goalkeepers are most afraid of people Undoubtedly, it is Chelsea's No. 21 Wang Li. His shooting power is too great. They are even afraid that they will be kicked off the field directly, so they bid farewell to their careers in advance. This also makes many goalkeepers feel that when facing Wang Li's shot They were so nervous that they would rather fail to defend the goal than take risks with their bodies.

And Wang Li was also dumbfounded. When he kicked the ball, he knew that the ball must have flown, but he scored again. There are goal indicators in the contracts signed with many companies, and one more goal can even bring him at least 10 pounds in income! !

For Wang Li, who has now scored 44 goals in the Premier League, it doesn't matter if one more goal is not too many, or one less is not too many, but this is almost a lucky goal. Playing the lottery, and then finding out that you won a prize of 100 yuan a month later, it will make people feel a little surprise.

The Portsmouth fans at the scene can no longer describe it as a nightmare. Anyone who sees their favorite team playing a score of 1:7 at home will not feel happy. Seeing this goal Afterwards, they finally couldn't bear it and began to leave the arena one after another. In fact, the game was about to end soon.

The fourth official on the sidelines raised the stoppage time card, indicating that the score was 2 minutes stoppage time, but when the stoppage time had just started, taking advantage of a sideline kick, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game. It can be seen here that the referee of the Premier League is still very humane. At least in this game, he is very good at taking care of the emotions of the home players. It is a good thing for both teams to end the game early——
Chelsea had an extreme victory, and the Portsmouth players came out of the pain early.

.........

After the game, Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho shook hands with the opponent's coach with a smile on his face, and the latter's face was so gloomy that he was about to drip, but he still forced a smile , for Zayech, although he is now the head coach of the Premier League team, the gap between him and Mourinho cannot be measured by a ruler at all. He does not want to offend the world because of his attitude. Class ace coach.

And the Chelsea players also collectively bowed to all the Blues fans to express their gratitude. No matter how good a team's performance is, all they rely on are these ordinary fans. Ignore these lovely fans with good results, and Wang Li is among them. He performed a hat-trick in this game and won the title of best player in the game. In the eyes of the Blues fans, he is obviously Chelsea. The most important thing is that many, many fans on the court greeted him, desperately raising their hands to let Wang Li look in their direction and smile. It can only be said that the requirements of these lovely fans are too low.

At the post-match press conference, Portsmouth's interim head coach Zayech expressed his extreme disappointment with the game. He said that he never thought the game would turn out like this. Although Chelsea's strength is very strong, But Portsmouth did not play the true strength of the team, the performance of the players was chaotic, which made the formation chaotic, and the mutual cooperation was also a mess.Being scored 7 goals by the opponent may be a wake-up call for these players. I hope they can perform better in the next league, so that Portsmouth's relegation task this season can be successfully completed.

However, Zayech's official remarks were obviously ignored by the reporters. For the Portsmouth club, they were more concerned about how long Zayech could stay in office and who the new head coach would be! ?

These questions are indeed very direct, and they are also the most concerned by the reporters, but it is a bit inappropriate for the interim head coach Zayeqi to answer them.

However, Zayech answered the question with a smile, showing his gentlemanly demeanor: "I know that my level is not high, and it is difficult to lead the team to complete the tasks of this season. I will wait for the news of the new head coach Now, Mr. Chairman is stepping up this work, and it is really inconvenient for me to disclose the specific progress."

These words are equivalent to not being said. The reporters in the audience are obviously very dissatisfied, and they don’t want to report the news from the mouth of this out-of-the-box head coach. They handed the microphone to Mourinho and followed him to participate. Joe Cole at the press conference.

"At this point in time I feel like we're as close together as machines, and while we're playing beautifully, the team is actually tired, that's how we described Arsenal last season, and it's our turn this season. With Ports In the Mouth game, we got a big win, which is a good ending for us, but I hope that this result will continue until the end of the season."

"For us now, the most important task is not to be complacent and prematurely satisfied. We still have to work hard to win all the subsequent games in order to continue our good results in the first half."

"Perhaps the strikers and midfielders tend to be the focus of attention now, but our five big players in the back line are also commendable. No matter who the opponent is, the result is the same. In my opinion, Petr Cech and Thomas are the world's top players. One of the best goalkeepers in the world and I believe in our defense."

After Joe Cole finished speaking, the reporters in the audience were concerned about this weekend. Chelsea will challenge Liverpool, which has been in good form recently. Regarding this game, Joe Cole said: "This game may It will be difficult, they have Alonso and Gerrard in midfield, it will be a battle for us, but we will continue the way we play and be ready to face anyone, I believe in the final victory It's going to be Chelsea."

Compared with Joe Cole's low-key speech, Mourinho is more direct. He directly affirmed the result of this weekend's game: "We will definitely be the winners. There is no doubt that you don't have to worry about the result of the game." Let's discuss because we always win, don't we!?"

Later, he talked about some of the difficulties facing Chelsea now: "Our players are very tired. This is my first season in the Premier League. I have experienced the horror of this schedule. Now the players are facing a lot of problems. Physical problems, and some players such as: Ricardo and others are still recovering from injuries, but I still have the confidence to keep the team winning. As long as we show the best level, I believe that any team Neither will be against Chelsea. Not only do we have good players, but there is a depth of game, commitment to the game and a desire to fight and win and that's why we always win."

"2004 was a great year for Chelsea. The club did a great job, reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League and finishing runners-up in the Premier League. In 2005 we hope to bring all the glory to Stamford Bridge. , the Premier League title is what we deserve most, but unless we finally win him, everything we do now will mean nothing."
