[football] walk side by side

After a kick-off in the middle circle, Chelsea immediately launched an attack.

This time, Chelsea also played in the middle where Alonso was!

Lampard passed the ball to Cyril, the ball quickly passed Kaka's side, and was accurately controlled by Cyril.The two quickly moved forward one after another, Cyril mainly attacked the center, and Lampard's position was more inclined to the left.As the distance between Alonso and Alonso got closer, Cyril gradually slowed down, and Lampard continued to move forward without the ball, and the speed did not decrease.

Pepe is no stranger to the posture of Cyril and Lampard in front of him-this is a very common two-person coordination style on the court. Through the cooperation between the two players, a running without the ball cuts the opponent's defense Zone, the other is to quickly release the ball when being defended, and then immediately run to a strong position away from the opponent's defense.

Because the whole set of coordination is done, it is like a player with the ball kicking the ball to the wall and returning to his feet, so it is called "hitting the wall".

After realizing this, Pepe didn't immediately rush to help Alonso defend, nor rushed to Lampard's side rashly, hitting the wall and passing people, the football would only stay at the feet of players running without the ball for less than a moment Seconds, it is very difficult to successfully shovel from Lampard's feet at this time.

He ran towards Alonso a little behind.

If it is not hitting the wall, then he can stop Cyril one or two after Cyril breaks through Alonso, and wait for Alonso who catches up to catch the ball together; if it is hitting the wall, then he can stare Cyril without the ball, because according to the cooperation of hitting the wall, the football will return to his feet sooner or later!

Sure enough, facing Alonso in front of him, Cyril sent a horizontal kick to roll the ball. Without the ball, his speed was further enhanced. He directly changed direction and accelerated, and he dropped Alonso at high speed. Forward!

Pepe has been paying attention to the movements of Cyril and Lampard.

When Cyril passed the ball, from the corner of Pepe's eyes, he saw Lampard on the left side of the road without stopping the ball, and rubbed the ball directly.This made him give up on Lampard without hesitation, and chase after Cyril!His speed is not as fast as Cyril's, but his advantage is that he is faster than Cyril's.

1VS1 Pepe alone is not sure to stop Cyril, but he is sure to slow down Cyril, or push him to the border.

His idea was successful.

Cyril couldn't lose space at his close distance, so naturally he couldn't use the speed he was proud of, so he had to slow down.

However, when Pepe noticed that just when he made Cyril have to slow down, the ball that hit the "wall" had not returned to Cyril's feet obediently, which made his hair stand on end !

wrong!

Football did not return to Cyril's feet!This is not hitting a wall!

However, when Pepe suddenly realized this, it was too late.

Lampard did choose to pass the ball the moment he got the ball.

But the ball was not passed to Cyril, who broke through Alonso. Facing at least four Real Madrid players left in front of him, the Blues deputy team observed the situation for a while, and decisively passed the ball over the top. !

Now that both Pepe and Alonso were attracted by Cyril, the pass passed through Real Madrid's defense very smoothly, passed over Ramos' head, and then fell rapidly!

There, there was a Chelsea player who had already stood at the front of Real Madrid's penalty area and jumped up in place!

The pass was very sudden, and when Ramos took off, he was already one step behind Drogba, but this does not mean that he had nothing to do - Ramos, who jumped up one step later, took his shoulders and remained calm Hit Drogba's waist!

After making this foul, but absolutely concealed action, Ramos quickly withdrew from Drogba's side, pretending that the opponent's instability in the air had nothing to do with him.

With a foul like Ramos in front, Drogba naturally couldn't push the ball safely into the gate guarded by Casillas. Moved, misplaced, the ball changed from a direction and strength that should have been a header to a light and fell to the ground...

The narrator has not yet shouted out the words of regret.

Because another Chelsea player appeared behind Drogba!

From the moment the ball was passed to Lampard, Cyril, who had advanced at high speed, had caught up with him at some point.Originally just to distract Pepe, he immediately gave up on Cyril after the opponent discovered that Chelsea's offense had shifted, and chased Drogba desperately.Ramos kept away from Drogba after making a small move to prevent Chelsea from a penalty due to a concealed foul.

This made everyone find that when Cyril emerged from behind Drogba, he was completely unmarked!

And at this moment, Casillas, who jumped up to pounce because of Drogba's header, was still in mid-air!

Therefore, facing the almost open Real Madrid goal, Cyril just pushed the ball lightly under his feet and sent the ball into the goal.

"Slade! Slade! Slade!! Goal!!! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!" After witnessing the third goal, Jimmy, the commentator, couldn't help but hit the ball with his fist. Standing on the table in front of him, he blushed with excitement and shouted loudly: "Two goals! Two goals! At the start of the second half, Chelsea scored two goals in a row within 10 minutes!! We are now two goals ahead of the Royals. Madrid!!!”

"Chelsea played a series of very creative cooperation! A series of cooperation between Cyril and Lampard threw Real Madrid's defense around!"

Powell waved his arms and jumped up from his seat excitedly!

What does it mean for Chelsea to lead Real Madrid by two goals?It means that they have almost half a foot into the Champions League final!

This idea sounded in the hearts of countless Chelsea fans, and it quickly turned into huge cheers and shouts——

"Slade! Slade! — Slade!"

Two passes and one shot.

No matter how picky people are, they can't find anything wrong with Cyril's performance in this game.

In the background of the crazy shouts of the fans, Cyril was surrounded by his teammates and hugged each other.It's hard to say whether the Chelsea players were really over-excited, or they were deliberately dawdling and delaying the time. In short, when they finished celebrating, there were only 15 minutes left in the game.

Before Cyril, who was let go, had time to run back to his position, he was caught by the Stamford Bridge Stadium—to be exact, from the stand of diehard Chelsea fan Matthew Harding. The sound of his name attracted attention.

He looked back subconsciously.

What caught his eyes was the three words pieced together from the blue scarves in the hands of countless fans——

"CS6".

This is the abbreviation of his name and number, and it is also recognized and loved by diehard Chelsea fans.

Powell, who was also sitting in the Matthew Harding stands, did not join in.

As a diehard Chelsea fan and a core member of the Chelsea fan organization, Powell is often able to get tickets in good positions in Chelsea games, but this game is an exception.

Although he sits in the Matthew Harding stand, it is the farthest and highest perimeter from the field.But it was precisely because of this that when he and several other players unfurled the long string of banners high up in the stands, the string of English words appeared clearly in everyone's eyes:

"Every year, every month, every day. Thank you for persevering."

From 2004 to 2011.

When Terry, Lampard and others have been with Chelsea for nearly ten years, why didn't Cyril, as an "outsider", stay with Chelsea for six springs and autumns?

England is a very exclusive country.

This is evident even in the Premier League—foreign players are hard to compare with the local players cultivated by the club. In the eyes of many fans, foreign players are "workers", and only those produced by their own youth training camp Players are their "own people".

For a non-Englishman to be recognized by the fans, he has to perform better than anyone else on the team.It is even more difficult to gain the approval of the team's diehard fans.

When Cyril first came to Chelsea, at that time, Cyril was already a member of the Triple Crown team, but in the eyes of Chelsea fans, Cyril was more like a gift from Mourinho and could not be compared with Lampard compared.

In the year Mourinho left Chelsea, Grant lost Cyril to the reserve team. Although many fans were dissatisfied, they watched the whole England "Slade is about to transfer to Inter Milan and leave with his mentor" The news, and the team's initial string of victories, finally chose to remain silent.

Later, as Cyril's performance became more and more outstanding, more and more fans fell in love with this quiet, low-key, non-provoking player who always silently paid for the team.

This point reached its peak after countless stars came to Chelsea and each chose to leave because of no championship.

In 2007, Mourinho dismissed get out of class, but he did not leave.

In 2008, Portugal won the European Cup, and the teams pursuing Cyril were all over the top European teams, but he did not leave.

In 2009, the Stamford Bridge tragedy, the team fell into the lowest point, he did not leave.

In 2010, the Champions League was double-killed by Inter Milan. Facing Real Madrid, who had a mentor and teammates, he did not leave.

They have suspected countless times that Cyril will leave Chelsea for the championship or various other reasons like those stars. But he has been standing on the training ground for six years, training silently alone.

Will Cyril Slade leave Chelsea?

Once upon a time, countless Chelsea fans and non-Chelsea fans fought over this question, but at this moment, for the current Chelsea fans, the answer to this question is no longer important.

Powell thought silently.

If you stay, I am very happy that we can walk together in the days to come.It doesn't matter if you leave - I just hope that in the years to come, you can have stronger, outstanding and reliable teammates, and release all your talents and talents to the fullest.

Then, get what you want.

***

Abu couldn't help showing a smile.

He certainly deserves to be happy.

In various senses, this Real Madrid team is his goal for Chelsea. Although he doesn't understand football that much, he understands what it means to lead by two goals.Whether it's winning Real Madrid itself or finally defeating Mourinho, these two reasons are enough for him to breathe a sigh of relief.

He began to feel that quitting Boas and replacing him with the unknown Di Matteo might not be a helpless choice.

Don't care about famous coaches or not, wouldn't it be nice to win?

Since they can lead Mourinho's Real Madrid 3-1 at home, then why is Chelsea not able to make it to the end this year?

Thinking of this, he could hardly suppress the joy in his heart.Looking at Di Matteo and the Chelsea players on the field, it can be described as pleasing to the eye.

When he resigned Boas, didn't the media say that he didn't value the head coach?This time, he wants to see what those paparazzi have to say!

Florentino, who is in the same box, can be said to be completely opposite to Abramovich at the moment.

It's just that even though he was in a bad mood, he still maintained his demeanor, and he didn't show that frustration on his face.

Compared with being eliminated in the quarter-finals in the past, this year's Real Madrid has actually performed well.At least they once again entered the Champions League semi-finals, but this does not mean that he can tolerate Real Madrid being eliminated by Chelsea.

Judging from the results in recent years, Real Madrid is actually very similar to Chelsea.

If it weren't for Chelsea's never having won the Champions League, strictly speaking, Real Madrid would be even worse than Chelsea. Although Chelsea has been knocked out repeatedly, it is a regular visitor to the semi-finals, and even won the double last year.

What about Real Madrid?Let alone the Champions League Sixteen Langs in recent years, they have been repeatedly overwhelmed by Barcelona in the league in recent years.

But judging from this game, this year's Chelsea seems to have been completely reborn.All three goals were played very well, whether it is the cooperation between the players or the performance of a single player, they are all very good.It is no longer the "fish belly team" in the media's mouth.

Why did this change happen?

Does Di Matteo really have such magic power?Or...Florentino's eyes swept across the Chelsea players on the field one by one, and finally fell on the midfielder, the young player who was smiling and waving at the stamford bridge stand.

Chelsea's crazy celebration lasted a full 3 minutes.

It wasn't until the referee asked them to continue the game that they reluctantly walked towards their own half, but their movements were slow, obviously starting to delay the time.

This caused angry boos from the Real Madrid fans in the stands.

Mourinho stood on the sidelines, his expression became serious.

Two goals behind.

This situation cannot be worse for Real Madrid.

Although they still have one home game left, but this two-goal lag...the gap is too big.Right now, there are only 15 minutes left for Real Madrid. If they could deal with Chelsea without haste, they have no choice at this moment.

It can only be offensive.

Not only that, after Chelsea succeeded in the two-goal sneak attack, they will inevitably change their tactics. The two-goal lead will also make them more calm in the next round at the Bernabeu, and their tactical choices will also be more favorable.

After the game continued, Mourinho saw the scene he least wanted to see.

After leading by two goals, Chelsea began to do what they did countless times under Mourinho - Cyril directly switched positions with Lampard and returned to the midfielder. The whole team made an obvious retracement and put on the Mourinho bus that Mourinho is all too familiar with.

In the stands of the Stamford Bridge Stadium, the faces of the Real Madrid fans suddenly became very ugly.

Chelsea's posture clearly intends to keep the score until the end of the round.And Chelsea fans-Chelsea under Mourinho used to come here many times. Seeing this scene again at this time, Chelsea fans will not be annoyed by the team's iron barrel formation, but laugh out loud.

They thought it was a good choice.

As long as this score is supported until the end, Chelsea will only be closer to the Champions League final-Chelsea fans are more eager for the championship than whether the game looks good or not.

Under the devastation of the UEFA Champions League defeat in recent years, Chelsea fans will never have the same requirements for the scene of the game as Real Madrid fans.As long as they can win, they don't care about the team's style of play.

"Oh, oh, Chelsea put up the iron barrel immediately after the game continued. It seems that they are determined to stick to this score until the end." The commentator Jimmy also explained with a smile. Tactics also have no opinion, but highly appreciated: "It is worth mentioning that Slade once again switched positions with Lampard and returned to the midfielder position he often played. Maybe this is a counter attack. The bus?" He said in a joking tone.

"As we all know, Real Madrid is a strong attacking team, and I hope our players can hold on until the end."

The game continues.

Mourinho began to realize that the Chelsea team in front of him was no longer familiar.

The defensive formation is a typical Mu-style bus. In addition to simply retracting the defensive line, the defensive method also includes the possession-style defense of the Porto period. Robba and Sturridge still cruise around the middle circle from time to time, occasionally waiting for an opportunity to launch an attack.

Gee.

What's the matter with the feeling that the apprentice of the church starved to death of the master?

Mourinho was a little irritable in his heart, but he was a little helpless about the situation in front of him.The iron barrel formation is the most annoying formation for every team that loves offense, especially for Real Madrid. In the face of this formation, Real Madrid has nothing to do except to increase their offensive firepower desperately.

In this current state, Mourinho can only hope that God will give Real Madrid good luck and break Chelsea's defense alone.

As time passed, Chelsea's goal was never broken by Real Madrid, and the Real Madrid fans in the stands suddenly became a little impetuous.On the other side of the home team's coaching bench, Chelsea coach Di Matteo also began to feel a sense of presence.

He started to do something that many head coaches love to do at this time-substitution.

When the team needs to buy time and last until the end of the game, substitutions are the best, justifiable, blatant way of delaying time, and can effectively interrupt Real Madrid's offensive state. Right now, Chelsea still have two substitutions Di Matteo has no reason not to use the quota.

With 5 minutes left in the game, Di Matteo used up the second substitution.Then [-] minutes later, Real Madrid's offense became more and more fierce, and they attacked again. When the ball was saved by Cech in a thrilling manner, he used up the third substitution.

At this moment, there are only 6 minutes left before the end of the game.

Seeing the Chelsea players making unhurried substitutions on the sidelines, the Real Madrid fans in the stands were about to explode, but there was nothing they could do.

This is indeed something allowed in football rules, and there is nothing they can do about it.

As the time ticked towards the end of the game, Real Madrid's offensive line was getting higher and higher. Judging from the scene, they almost blocked Chelsea in the half court and beat them violently.

At this time, the role of Cyril and Lampard's transposition emerged.

When Real Madrid's attack was interrupted by Bosingwa and an overhead pass was passed, Cyril glanced ahead, but he did not control the ball slowly as before.

Although Real Madrid didn't score a goal, their offense was too strong.From Real Madrid's strong attack to the present, the pressure on Chelsea's defense is also very high. Although the iron bucket formation is much safer, it also consumes the players' physical strength. Di Matteo has replaced two people. In addition to simply delaying time, there are also replacements□□ The meaning of players with insufficient strength is inside.

How to reduce the pressure on Chelsea's defense?

This answer Cyril can come to the answer without thinking - attack!

Therefore, when Bosingwa's overhead pass came, Cyril, who was standing in the midfielder position, immediately took the ball forward and ran all the way to the center circle. He did not move forward for a long time. He was the only player and without the cooperation of his teammates, Cyril could easily be intercepted before entering Real Madrid's penalty area. Therefore, as soon as he reached the middle circle, he immediately kicked a lob shot!

If it was half an hour ago, Real Madrid might not have to be afraid of this lob shot. After all, this is equivalent to a 50-meter long shot. Not to mention the accuracy, whether it can break through Real Madrid's midfield is a problem, but at this moment Real Madrid is Because of the offense, almost all players were concentrated in Chelsea's half.

Therefore, Cyril's sudden lob shot can be said to be close to Casillas!

The lob was finally accurately confiscated by Casillas in his arms.

However, the Real Madrid players present and the Real Madrid fans in the stands were really frightened by Cyril's lob and broke into a cold sweat.

At the Bernabéu stadium seven years ago, what skills did Cyril Slade rely on to amaze the crowd and win the applause from Mei Linger?

Two goals behind is enough to make people lose hope. If Slade scores another goal, it will not be as simple as a heavy heart. Three goals behind in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final is despair!

This time there is no need for Casillas to scold... On Real Madrid's defense, Abil Orr and Marcelo retreated from the front of Chelsea's penalty area in a tacit understanding. In the position of the circle, once Chelsea suddenly launched a counterattack, it would be convenient for them to deal with it.

In a word, Real Madrid has no choice but dare not block Chelsea's attack directly.

As a result, the pressure on Chelsea's defense suddenly dropped.

There is Cyril's ball-holding defense in the midfield, Terry takes the lead in supporting the defense at the back, and there is the Czech goalkeeper in front of the goal.

Under the desperate eyes of the Real Madrid fans, Chelsea insisted on the score until the end of stoppage time.

Di-

"The game is over! Chelsea successfully defended the score of 3-1 to the end of the game. Real Madrid had a lot of offensive means, but unfortunately they still failed to break through Chelsea's goal. After creating a big reversal from two goals behind, Chelsea gave it again. A similar score in Real Madrid. Of course, the Champions League semi-finals did not end here, they still have a second leg at the Bernabeu - no one knows, Real Madrid will become the fifth team to complete the reversal of the knockout round. "

"Let us wait and see the Bernabeu match in a week's time."
