Xu Zhu's Successor's Football Journey

Chapter 364 Adversity
"Blues, Chelsea, Blues, Chelsea, hooray!!"

"No. 304 minutes, Ivory Coast monster Drogba received a pass from Wang Li and scored a goal with an angry shot. Chelsea took the lead in scoring and took the lead!!" The court commentator who had been struggling with Wang Li and Ferdinand's fall just now turned his head and noticed Chelsea had already scored a goal, and he immediately reacted and started shouting, but this kind of 'afterthought' commentary made the fans watching the court TV sports channel feel nauseated.

"The shot was decisive and the American goalkeeper had no reaction!!"

"Wang Li's assist this time is really beautiful. From the slow-motion follow-up interview, we can see that he was still very calm when he was about to collide with Ferdinand in the air..." Next, there were a lot of praises for Wang Li If so, but this passage also increased the fans' favor towards him a little.

So far in the Premier League this season, few people have paid attention to the scorer list. Wang Li must be the champion of the scorer list. His goals are nearly 2 more than No.30 Henry. The two are not comparable at all. sex.

And Chelsea's other players, Drogba, Gud Janssen, and Robben also entered the top 10 scorers. In this way, 10 of the top 4 are Chelsea players. The ball efficiency is terrifying, but on the other hand, it also shows that Chelsea's goals are too concentrated.

Like a general team, midfielders tend to score more goals than forwards, mainly because of the flexibility of midfielders. In modern football, the main task of a center forward is to attract the opponent's defense and create a deterrent. Chelsea's Didier Drogba and Gud Janssen can both enter the scorer list, which is really unbelievable.

This also shows the strength of Chelsea's midfield support, which is inseparable from Wang Li's contribution.

Back in the game, although Wang Li didn't care about an assist statistic, he was already No.1 in the assist list, but Drogba, who scored the goal, was very excited. He and his teammates hugged each other, And yelling like crazy.

This picture is really not flattering. A monster writhes wildly on the field. If you don't know that this is a football game, others will think it is a safari park.

Wang Li couldn't stand it anymore, he ran over and patted Drogba on the shoulder to make him relax, and joked: "My God, you will scare people like this!!"

Didier Drogba didn't understand, so he silently turned his head back, and said in a somewhat ignorant voice: "Why??"

"That's because you look so scary!! Haha!!" Wayne Bridger next to him interrupted with a smile.

"Fuck!! Kid, stop for me!!"

As a result, it is easy to imagine that Brigitte was caught by a ferocious beast, rubbed hard, and then languished...Of course, this was just a joke, but Brigitte said sadly afterwards: "I just give You explain the meaning of Alan's words..."

At the same time, various media are also analyzing Chelsea's attack just now.

From Wang Li to Duff, from Duff to Wang Li, and then to Didier Drogba, the very simple offensive routine has caused a great threat and scored a goal. This cannot but be surprising! !
"Three passes!! Chelsea's attack is only three passes, and Allen played the most important role in it!!"

"Perhaps this kind of offense can only be played by Chelsea. Without a player like Allen who has reached the peak of his personal strength, how could he be able to play such a wonderful cooperation!!"

However, such a simple offensive routine, Manchester United players failed to defend, which is another way to illustrate the shortcomings of Manchester United's defense.At this time, the coach Sir Alex Ferguson was very dissatisfied. He stood on the sidelines and yelled at the Manchester United team: "What are you doing!! Cheer up!! We must score!!"

It can be seen that after seeing Chelsea score a goal, Ferguson was already very anxious.

…………

After the game restarted, Manchester United launched a fierce offensive towards Chelsea's half amidst Ferguson's roar, hoping to equalize the score as soon as possible.

This is different from the attack just now. Now that Manchester United is behind, in order to tie the score, they don't care so much. Losing one goal is a loss, and losing 10 goals is still a loss. This is true even for the youngest player on the field players understand.

At Old Trafford, nearly 5 Manchester United fans also burst into loud shouts to cheer for Manchester United.

As Manchester United players, they are very hostile to any team that threatens Manchester United's status.As fans of the 99 Triple Crown and the most outstanding Premier League club in the century, Manchester United fans have always had a sense of superiority, but this season, this sense of superiority has been on the verge of destruction due to the strong rise of Chelsea.

This is unacceptable to them.

Now, this team that threatens Manchester United's status still wants to win the league championship at Old Trafford! !

Unacceptable and unforgivable! !

After Chelsea scored a goal, the Manchester United fans became more 'enthusiastic', there was a huge noise inside the stadium, every time a Chelsea player got the ball, they used the noise to disturb, I have to say, the voice of one person The power is very small, even negligible, but the voice of tens of thousands of fans can move people's hearts.

The feeling of the Manchester United players is just the opposite. Amidst the cheers of the whole stadium, they are advancing bravely and full of motivation! !
At this moment, the home field advantage was fully reflected by Manchester United fans.

Although the game has been going on for 40 minutes, the Chelsea players are still somewhat unaccustomed to the loud noise, which makes everyone a little irritable. Even the teammates who are very close sometimes cannot hear the other party talking. something.

Even though they cooperated with each other tacitly, in this environment, the players couldn't give full play at all. This made Manchester United's offense completely suppress Chelsea at the end of the first half, and Wang Li, who was in the frontcourt, had nothing to do.

…………

Fletcher, as the youngest star in Scotland, at the age of 20, he has found his place in Manchester United. Because of his outstanding passing ability, Manchester United fans like to call him David Beckham's successor.

In the 41st minute, Fletcher finally showed his passing ability again. After Scholes made a small change in the middle and passed Drogba, he handed the ball to Fletcher on the wing.

Fletcher swept his eyes towards the frontcourt, and before Bridget came to defend, he moved a wide range and handed the ball to the left side of the penalty area——
C. Ronaldo's position! !

This ultra-long-distance pass stunned the audience, and even made the entire Old Trafford stadium quiet! !

"Danger!!"

Needless to say, all Chelsea players are aware of this.

Since the football was still on the right just now, C. Ronaldo was almost unguarded in the corner of the penalty area on the left, and Paulo Ferreira missed it! !
Mistakes on the court are inevitable. No one blames Ferreira but rushes to run there. However, C. Ronaldo can win a lot of reputation and support in half a season, and his strength is by no means easy. When he was in time to take the kick, he kicked the bottom edge of the football! !
The ball was about 13 meters away from the goal, not too far away, and the danger was quite high, but at the next moment, everyone didn't look at the goal, because C. Ronaldo, who was posing, was directly kicked by the French man who caught up with him Put it on the ground! !

"Beep..."

At the moment when Thomas Clark threw the ball, Riley, the referee of the game, blew the timeout whistle.

At this moment, C. Ronaldo was still lying on the ground and wailing.

But everyone knew that this time it wasn't a flop, he was actually kicked in the arms by Makelele.

Sir Alex Ferguson on the sidelines has already walked to the fourth official and began to complain...

Most of the Manchester United fans in the audience stood up, staring angrily, cursing in various strange ways while waiting for the referee's decision.

I have to say that the referees in the Premier League are still very sportsmanlike. Riley first went to C. Ronaldo's side to care about his injury, and then called the line referee to ask about the specific situation before turning to Mark. Lai Lai took out--
red card! !
penalty! !
Serious foul! !
In fact, this penalty is a bit harsh. Most of the red cards are for disgusting injuries on the pitch, and Makelele's kick is more because he couldn't stop his feet. However, the French man was originally on the FA's blacklist Players, it's normal to be strict.

But for the parties involved, it is unacceptable! !

Makelele's role in Chelsea's defense is unquestionable. Now that the game has not passed halftime, the game will be much more difficult if he is sent off. The role of the French big man is by no means comparable to that of Wayne Bridge! !
It can be said that he is the deterrent nuclear weapon on the court! !

On the contrary, Chelsea had no objection to the penalty kick. The foul just now was indeed within the penalty area line, and a penalty kick was taken for granted.

Seeing the result of the penalty, Ferguson, who was complaining to the fourth official on the sidelines, changed Manchester United's distressed performance, and even flashed a smile on his face in an instant, but the veteran Scotsman immediately hid it and turned. And continued to put his face together, and silently returned to the Manchester United coaching bench——
As for what he was thinking, no one knew.

This time, it was Mourinho's turn to complain.

And the victim of this foul, 'Little Boy' C. Ronaldo has been carried off the field on a stretcher, and he has been ignored by everyone. Speaking of which, he is now more like a bargaining chip in a political transaction, which can be discarded when it is used up.

Instead, Ferguson waved his hand, Giggs on, C. Ronaldo off.

At the same time, on the court, Wang Li walked up to Makelele, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Claude, it's okay, we will win."

The French big man Makelele didn't seem to be disappointed, or he had been sent off too many times, and he was already immune to red cards. He turned his head, a smile flashed across his face, and a few big white teeth showed under his dark face: "Haha, it's up to you, Allen!!"

Although he has lived in London for so long, Wang Li seems not to be used to communicating with such a big black man, so he suppressed a smile, Wang Li put aside those imaginations, and said, "Okay, don't worry."

After speaking, he turned and walked towards his own half.

..........
On the court, Manchester United center Wayne Rooney was watched by millions of people because he stood on the penalty spot.

However, Rooney didn't care about these gazes. He just stared straight at the big white man in front of him, but he felt a little like a world away.

Wayne Rooney met Thomas. It was when the England team VS Bristol Rovers last year. In that game, Thomas Clark, as the goalkeeper, shone brilliantly, embarrassing a group of England's big stars.

At that time, Rooney was still thinking that when he returned to Everton, he would introduce this excellent goalkeeper to the team. It is true that after more than half a year, he was already in Manchester United, but Thomas was already in Chelsea. The goalkeeper of a small team.

And now, it's a real 1V1 between two people, a 1V1 between a striker and a goalkeeper.

"Beep..."

A light whistle from the referee interrupted Rooney's contemplation. He looked down at the football, took two steps back, trotted forward and swung his right foot forward, and slapped the bottom edge of the football! !
Everyone in the audience is staring at the trajectory of the football! !

…………

At this time, Thomas was extremely serious. In the team's daily training, he often asked his teammates to train himself with penalty kicks.

Due to his quick response and the fact that he has practiced the 'Tiger Fist' to speed up his body's reaction speed, if it comes to saving penalties in the team, Cech has no choice but to bow down.

And this opportunity is the time to really test yourself! !
Thomas has been standing in the middle of the goal. He didn't watch Rooney's movements at all. He just stared at the football 12 yards away. In his vision, the football suddenly flew to the right, and his mind didn't react at all. , but Thomas' body has already flown towards the head——
"My~~~ god!! The goalkeeper has made a contribution!!"

"He saved..." The words of the court commentator were stuck in his throat.

Thomas did save the ball, but the football bounced into the penalty area again. Rooney reacted and followed up with the nudge to the right, which brought a big turning point to the mood of everyone in the audience! !
…………

"Gill, you said that annoying Portuguese, is it possible to sell us a goalkeeper?" On the sidelines, seeing Manchester United scoring a goal, Ferguson finally calmed down. He turned to think of something and asked the Manchester United No. scout.

Jill looked at the big white man on the court who was annoyed by a goal, pursed his lips, and said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult, he won't sell it to a competitor, that kid and Petr Cech are both talented goalkeepers. Don't worry about selling it."

Ferguson took a long breath, turned his head to look at Howard in front of Manchester United, and sighed: "Why did this kind of genius go to Chelsea..."

Manchester United has been worrying about the goalkeeper problem for more than a season, while Chelsea are good goalkeepers emerging one after another. It's no wonder Ferguson's mouth will be sour.Although Rooney scored the goal just now, everyone knew that the tricky angle penalty was saved. From this, it can be seen that Thomas' strength is definitely the top in the world.

At this moment, Ferguson is not the only one thinking about Thomas, as far away as Madrid, Spain, Milan, Italy, etc., many football giants are considering this issue.

…………

After the game restarted, Chelsea failed to fight back at all, but became even more embarrassed.

On the one hand, this is related to the fact that Makelele was sent off, and Manchester United just equalized the score, and the momentum was like a rainbow. On the other hand, it has a direct relationship with the atmosphere at home. In this extremely noisy stadium, many veterans are a little uncomfortable , For a while, Chelsea fell into a big disadvantage.

Seeing this situation, Mourinho didn't care that the first half was coming to an end. He walked to the sideline and asked the team to make adjustments, signaling all the players to return to the defense and stabilize the defense. Don't rush to counterattack and finish the first half. Let's talk.

At this time, the Manchester United team is in full swing. They continue to attack Chelsea with home court advantage and the prestige of scoring goals. They don't care that Chelsea will counterattack. At this time, all Manchester United teams are thinking about scoring another goal.

Now, Chelsea's players can't play their true level at all. This is the most difficult away game they have encountered, even crazier than the Nou Camp with 10 people. At least Barcelona fans are much more 'gentle' than Manchester United fans. It's also much quieter. England has always been popular with 'gentlemen', but these 'gentlemen' who come to the football field have completely become the craziest group of people in the world.

Only 3 minutes had passed since Manchester United's goal just now, and Manchester United almost scored another goal.

A corner kick.

Giggs, who had just come off the bench, took a corner kick from the left side. With the assist, Ferdinand beat John Terry in front of the goal and succeeded in grabbing the goal. Fortunately, Thomas was in the chaos and hit the ball with both hands. out.

But the penalty area was in chaos, the football was bouncing back and forth among the crowd, and the hearts of the "onlookers" Chelsea players raised their hearts to their throats.

After a few 'indiscriminate shots', the ball was finally cleared out of the sideline by Lampard with a big foot, and it was announced that Manchester United's attack was over.

Wang Li, who was standing at the front of the restricted area, frowned tightly as he looked at the chaotic restricted area.He wasn't happy with how his teammates had played in the last few minutes.Although the stadium environment makes it difficult for people to show their strength, as a professional player, if they can be beaten by fans, that is really the biggest joke.

After this defense, he couldn't help but turned around and shouted to the backcourt: "Be serious!! This is a game!!"

As he said that, he pointed to the fans in the surrounding stands, and continued: "They are just scared!! As long as we do our job well, we can win!! What are you all doing!!?"

After this yelling, Wang Li instantly attracted the attention of all Chelsea players. They looked at the black-haired boy who kept reminding themselves, and felt ashamed in their hearts. Young people are not as good, which is really unreasonable.

And seeing Wang Li, they found the backbone again. In fact, Wang Li has become the spiritual leader of Chelsea now, mainly because he scored too many goals. "As long as there is Wang Li, Chelsea can score", this idea has been deeply rooted in the hearts of many players.

After finding the backbone, Chelsea's defense became much more stable. Even Mourinho on the sidelines nodded in satisfaction with Wang Li's 'off-field' performance.

When the team is in a panic, he can take the initiative to take responsibility and lead the team to victory. This kind of player is really rare. This is much more important than just good skills.

"Beep..."

With a whistle, the first half of the game ended, and the Chelsea players breathed a sigh of relief. In their opinion, these few minutes of the game were even more tiring than the entire first half. Feeling passive.

And Wang Li also sat directly on the grass, and he finally found out that it is not an easy task to beat Manchester United, which has exploded with full strength.
