Chapter 41 Chelsea's new goalkeeper

10月23日，傍晚19点45分，BJ时间次日2时45分，欧冠G组小组赛在斯坦福桥开始了第三轮角逐。

Huang Jianxiang wiped his face and introduced the lineups of both sides with a little excitement.

"As you can see on the screen, the home team Chelsea is wearing a blue jersey and attacking from left to right."

"The two strikers that appeared in Chelsea's frontcourt were Hernan Crespo and Adrian Mutu, who were introduced this summer."

"Mutu has been in good form since he came to Chelsea. If the boss Abramovich did not spend a lot of money to buy it, Mutu might be bought by Lazio this summer."

"Chelsea's four midfielders are Lampard, Veron, Makelele, Duff."

"Under the strong request of the Argentine before the game, Crespo finally started with his national team teammates."

"The four defenders are Johnson, Gallas, Terry and Bridge."

"Because the old Chelsea captain Desailly's injury has not yet recovered, the captain's armband for this game was worn on Terry's shoulder."

"The goalkeeper position is the Tang Wu we are familiar with."

"Tang Wu joined Chelsea last year, but he only had a few starting opportunities until this season."

"By the way, it is worth mentioning that this is the first time a Chinese player has officially appeared in a competition of this level in the Champions League. Let us congratulate Tang Wu."

In just one sentence, Huang Jianxiang spoke passionately.

A few simple words represent the beginning of Chinese football's involvement in the world's top competitions. How can this not excite Huang Jianxiang?
Looking at the two sides testing each other on the screen, Huang Jianxiang adjusted his mood and continued to introduce.

"Attacking from right to left on the screen, wearing a white shirt and black shorts is Lazio from Serie A."

"Lazio has been operating poorly in recent years. At the end of last season, there was a debt of at least 5000 million pounds. It is for this reason that Lazio did not spend a lot of money to buy players this summer."

"Lazio's two strikers in this game are Corradi and Inzaghi."

"Junior Inzaghi has been in a brave state recently. It is precisely because of his two goals in the Champions League group stage that Lazio was not taken away by Prague at home with three points."

"In the midfield, Conceicao and Zauri fly on both wings, and the two in the middle are Stankovic and Albertini."

"Oddo, Stam, Mihajlovic and Favalli are the four at the back due to injuries to Cesar and Cotto."

"The goalkeeper is still Peruzzi."

"Hey! Chelsea attack!"

"Lampard through."

"Duff!"

"Duff fell in the box!"

"Is this a penalty?"

Under the excited voice of Huang Jianxiang, the referee Hauge from Norway ignored Duff who raised his hands in the penalty area.

"This is a goal kick." Huang Jianxiang was as regretful as the Blues fans at the scene.

In this game, a total of 3500 Lazio fans came to Stamford Bridge with the team.But for the huge Blues fans, this is simply drizzle.

Ten times as many Blues fans as Lazio booed and put pressure on the referee.

"Back, back! Defend!" Terry turned around first, and shouted at Tang Wu who was not far behind him.

Due to Chelsea's offense, Terry, who was dragged at the end, almost stood on the center line.And Tang Wu also walked out of the restricted area at this time, keeping a fixed distance from Terry.

If the Lazio players suddenly shot cold arrows in the backcourt at this time, Chelsea might be the first to concede the goal because Tang Wu did not return to the defense in time.

In fact, without waiting for Terry's reminder, Tang Wu began to back away slowly the first time Duff fell.

He had expected this situation.

In other words, whenever the ball is switched, the ball is dead, etc., the first thing Tang Wu has to do is to retreat into the penalty area.

This is not only the consciousness of an excellent goalkeeper, but also Tang Wu's responsibility.

Since he chose "aggressive defense", as to whether it would waste more energy, this is also Tang Wu's choice.

Soon, Tang Wu retreated to the penalty area line and watched Peruzzi take the goal kick.

After the ball flew across the half, Lampard jumped up in the middle and collided with Conceicao.

Makelele deserves to be the No. 170 defensive midfielder in today's football. The height of 15 abruptly withstood Inzaghi, who is [-] cm taller than himself, and stuck the opponent behind him.

The ball landed a bit badly, but Makelele stayed where he was and didn't move a step.

After barely stopping the ball under his feet with his abdomen, he flicked his left foot and pushed the ball to Terry.

Terry looked up at Conceicao who was running towards him over the others, turned around subconsciously and pushed the ball to Tang Wu, Tang Wu met the ball without hesitation and passed it to Bridge on the other side.

So far, Lazio's "offensive" has been completely resolved by the Blues by opening up space.

Watching Bridge comfortably dribble the ball across the empty flanks, Lazio had to adjust their formation and reorganize their defense.

Mancini hugged his shoulders on the sidelines, frowning slightly.

Before the game, he tried to analyze Chelsea's current situation from the perspective of Ranieri, trying to guess what lineup the Italians would send to face off.

Veron, Lampard, and Duff all guessed very well, but Tang Wu alone never dreamed of it.

In Mancini's view, does Chelsea still have a goalkeeper to send?

Besides Cudicini, who made a mistake a few days ago and they are very familiar with, who else will play?
However, the reality gave Mancini a huge joke.

What he didn't care about the most, La Nieli sent out "surprise soldiers"!
It is this "surprising soldier" that allowed the Blues to resolve several Lazio attacks by passing back in less than 10 minutes.The return pass just now is just a microcosm of Chelsea's backcourt tactics.

The tactic of exchanging space for ball possession seems simple, but I didn't expect it to be so effective in actual application.

This is in the case of generally small Premier League stadiums.

If it is at the Nou Camp, Lazio does not know how much energy will be consumed by the opponent!

"The goalkeeper is so far away from the goal, isn't this old fox afraid of our lob shot?" Although Mancini thought bitterly, he never gave such instructions.

One is that it is too difficult to lob shots from the backcourt, and the other is that Tang Wu's attention is very concentrated, and he retreats quickly when there is a "turbulence".

In this case, it is better not to do those things that transfer the ball.

The game went on for more than ten minutes, and both sides were about the same.

The Blues have organized attacks from the back five or six times, but Lazio have never brought the ball to the front of Chelsea's penalty area.

Of course, this has a lot to do with Terry and Makelele's full pressure near the midfield.

In the 17th minute, the Blues pressed on again.

After shaking Stankovic in the frontcourt, Lampard tapped his toe lightly and sent the ball behind Albertini.

Because Lampard's pass was very concealed, Mutu, who connected the ball, was half a beat behind.

When Mutu sprinted to chase the ball, Stam returned to the defense in time, fell to the ground and shoveled the ball out of the penalty area.

Favalli blocked the ball with his chest at the front of the penalty area, and before the ball hit the ground, he kicked out again and swept the ball into the air.

Watching the ball fly towards the midfield, the Blues moved back collectively in the midfield, intending to press the ball down in the midfield again.

Lampard collided with Conceicao again. With previous experience, Conceicao held on to Lampard's clothes to prevent him from jumping; Lampard was also very smart, he just stuck his body in position Don't let Conceicao move an inch.

Just like that, the ball landed two meters in front of the entangled two people, bounced high again, and bounced forward.

Looking at the second bounce of the ball, Terry took a step back and made a top gesture to his teammates.

"Terry, the second point." Huang Jianxiang explained unhurriedly.

"The header kicks back!?"

"Terry made a mistake!"

With Huang Jianxiang's exclamation, the hearts of [-] Blues fans were lifted.

Terry originally planned to push the ball vigorously to Tang Wu, who was at the back, but he didn't expect that the second bounce of the ball would still have a lot of rotation.

The ball did not bounce on Terry's prepared force point, it was more like "smashing" Terry's head, and then bounced towards his own penalty area.

You know Terry is Chelsea's last central defender!
Before Terry landed, Inzaghi, who was ready to go, rushed out like a poisonous snake.

Although Inzaghi is 1.8 meters tall, under the strict defense of several Blues defenders, he can't control it even if he earns the top.

Smart, he has long learned to wait on the sidelines, looking for loopholes in the Blues' defense.

Fortunately, the Blues' blunder didn't keep him waiting too long.

The ball bounced backwards according to Terry's idea, but the speed was too slow!

If nothing else, after the ball hits the ground three times, the ball will come to Inzaghi Jr.'s feet.

At that time, the top Italian striker will single-handedly attack an unknown goalkeeper, and the result will be like anyone can imagine with his ass.

Everyone raised their hearts to their throats, held their breath, and watched the ball bounce again after landing.

Inzaghi Jr. has already opened up the speed to the maximum, and his eyes are scattered with the glory after scoring at Stamford Bridge.

"Tang Wu strikes!" Seeing the black figure appearing on the left side of the screen, Huang Jianxiang only had time to squeak.

　It's 2-0, I'm going to watch the game first
