44. Chapter 44
Fifteen minutes passed quickly, and the two teams exchanged pitches and returned to the pitch to wait for the referee to blow the whistle for the start of the second half.
After an equaliser in the final stages of the first half, the Dortmund players were unhappy and prepared to release it on the pitch in the second half.
Yan Jing and Mourinho were both speculating with each other's inner thoughts, and they walked out of the players' tunnel and stopped amicably to talk again.
"Yan, your players are really good."
"Jose, you're going to be angry if you let the fans in the stands hear it."
After two short sentences, both men returned to their positions while the referee blew the whistle for the start of the second half.
At half-time, the Dortmund players had all their equipment changed and they appeared on the pitch in a fresh and new look.
In the first half, the use of long balls and rushing hoops due to the constraints of the field was never their best tactic, and Ribery stepped on the turf under his feet with his boots, which was indeed much tougher than in the first half.
Chelsea kick off, Didier Drogba handed the ball to Ballack, and the Dortmund players, who had resumed their original tactics, stepped forward to press for it.
However, it was not so easy to snatch the ball from the feet of German star Ballack, and Shaheen and Sneijder surrounded at the same time, but Ballack still let the ball out.
Claude Makelle received the ball and the Frenchman, who was not very delicate at his feet, did not hesitate to transfer the ball to Frank Lampard on the right.
Unable to get the ball from Ballack, Shaheen and Sneijder immediately returned to their positions, while Yaya Toure and David Silva surrounded Lampard.
Frank Lampard, the hero of Chelsea's goal in the first half, had planned to try again with a first-half long-range shot, but this time he was surrounded by two Dort players, making it impossible for him to get off the ground.
Assisted by David Silva, Yaya Toure managed to cut off the ball from Frank Lampard's feet with a decisive interception.
Due to the impact of the first half, the moment they saw Frank Lampard cut off the ball, the Chelsea players subconsciously moved closer to the position of defending the long ball and rushing tactics.
However, Terry, who was already running, suddenly found that Yaya Toure, who was holding the ball, did not raise the ball at all, but passed it to David Silva next to him.
Frank Lampard chased Silva, who was on the ball, and just as he was about to get closer, the Spaniard lifted his foot to pass the ball to Villa in front of him.
If there is one player in Dortmund's team who has the most tacit understanding of passing and receiving the ball, it is undoubtedly the double David.
The moment David Silva made a pass, Villa, who was slightly behind the Chelsea defence, pulled his legs and ran forward.
The Chelsea backline felt for a moment that Villa might be offside, so they moved a little slower, but they couldn't stop Villa before he could reach the back of the net.
Silva's well-placed pass made it easy for Villa to pick up the ball in high-speed runs.
He stopped the ball forward with the side of his shoe, and the ball changed direction and slid forward, while Villa continued to run, reaching out and holding the ball at his feet.
"No offside! David Villa has another chance since missing a solo shot in the first half! ”
The mood of the Chelsea fans was very different from that of Dikel, who nervously booed Villa in the hope of influencing the Spanish striker's shot.
Villa was not afraid to look at the goalkeeper who had saved his own must-score in the first half, and he still aimed at the bottom right corner and fired a more powerful shot at the football.
Cech looked at Villa's piercing gaze and had a hunch that he would shoot in the same direction, so he started his pace and moved towards the right of the goal.
Yan Jing and the rest of Dortmund on the sidelines stared with bated breath and stared intently at Villa, while Mourinho from Chelsea screamed badly.
Damn, Yan Jing, this guy has changed his tactics back!
Petr Cech felt he should have started faster than he had in the first half and had managed to get the right direction, but he found he couldn't get his hands on the ball.
The Chelsea goalkeeper's pupils shrank sharply as the ball flew past his hand and into the net.
"Villa! He scored a truly unstoppable must-score! Even though Cech tried his best to jump and pounce, he couldn't save it! ”
Dicker's commentary style of Mars hitting Earth will be very useful to Dortmund fans and neutral fans.
“Cuco!!!”
After seeing his goal score, Billy □□ couldn't help but run to Silva, who provided him with the assist, and hugged his fellow Spaniard tightly in his arms.
Silva was hugged and rubbed his head into Villa's ear to celebrate the goal with his compatriot amid the boos of the Chelsea fans.
"Guaje, perfect shot!"
Mourinho, dressed in casual short sleeves, moved to the side of the pitch and stepped on the turf of Stamford Bridge, and he immediately understood the reason for Yan Jing's change of tactics.
This cunning oriental fox!
Mourinho gritted his teeth and immediately called Terry again while the Dort players were still celebrating.
The Blues captain, who was still angry, was stunned when he heard Mourinho's words: "Sir, the tactics are going to be changed again?" ”
"Look, Chief, Terry was called again...... And there's someone warming up at Chelsea. ”
Yan Jing didn't notice this originally, but when he heard Coentron's reminder, he immediately turned his head to look over and sounded the alarm in his heart.
The warm-up players were Chelsea wingers Joe Wenco and Wright Phillips, and Yan Jing rolled his eyes and immediately understood Mourinho's intentions.
Warming up the two wingers, it seems that Mourinho is planning to revert to the 4-3-3 he used in the past.
Yan Jing glanced at Coentrão, who had just finished talking to him: "Fabio, you should also go to warm up, and call Bastian by the way." ”
Coentrão was overjoyed when he received the order, and pulled Kyle to the sidelines to warm up.
The Chelsea players, who had fallen behind again on the pitch, were not content to rest on their laurels and immediately organised a wave of onslaught after the re-kick-off in the centre circle.
With most of the half-time experience, Dort's backline has begun to adjust to the rhythm of Chelsea's attack. And because Chelsea don't have wingers on the pitch, they don't push forward very quickly, so they can defuse the Blues' attacks one by one.
Yaya Toure broke off Frank Lampard's pass again when the fourth official began to ask for a substitution.
Mourinho has been waiting for this moment for a long time, and although Phillips is far less capable than Robben, he can still use his speed to rush when he goes up.
However, just when he thought the situation on the pitch was about to change, he found that Dortmund also had substitutes ready to make their debut.
"Chelsea made three changes in a row! Jose Mourinho replaced Geremi with No.24 Wright Filip, No.10 Joe Vinco for Ballack, and striker Karui for Claude Makelele, and it seems that Chelsea are ready to give it a go! ”
"There are also substitutions on Dortmund's side, Yan Jing replaced Sneijder with Kyle, and replaced Dede with Coentrão!"
Mourinho looked at the number on the fourth official holding up the sign, and it took a lot of effort to resist the urge to curse.
Dede and Coentrão were substitutions in opposite positions, but Yan Jing's move to replace Sneijder with midfielder Kyle was too targeted.
After the substitutions were completed, the formation on the field also changed.
For Chelsea, Essien dropped back to his former Graremi position at full-back, with Frank Lampard in the middle, Phillips and Joe Vanco on either side, and Drew Drew Aerial Drew on the left in a reverting to their usual 4-3-3 formation.
Looking at Dortmund again, Silva and Ribery are still separated on both sides, Toure and Shaheen moved forward, and Kyle, who was replaced on the field, retreated to the middle of Toure and Shahin, forming a 4-5-1 back three formation.
As soon as the players on both sides moved, commentator Martin Feye immediately noticed this.
Chelsea reverted to a 4-3-3 formation, but Yan Jing seemed to have spotted Mourinho's idea in advance, and he replaced it with Kehl. As a result, there were three midfielders defending in front of Dort's penalty area, encrypting their central defence. ”
Replacing Sneijder with Kyle would inevitably reduce the team's attacking power, but it would effectively curb Chelsea's attacks on both flanks.
Yan Jing's reaction speed is inevitably too fast!
I used up the three cards in my hand at once, but after playing it, I found that people immediately pressed you on the drug, and the mood of the nest of fire can be imagined.
It's just that Mourinho has no chance to regret it now, he can only bite the bullet and let the players on the pitch continue to attack, hoping to score another goal like in the first half.
Kele's arrival has allowed Dortmund to build a solid barrier in midfield, and even if Lampard is strong alone, it is difficult to break through the encirclement of three defensive midfielders every time.
On the wings, the new Joe Wingco and Phillips have not yet seen Dort's full-backs, and they are entangled with Dort's wings and defensive midfielders.
They did occasionally break through or cross well, but Coentrão and Lichtsteiner had plenty of time to prepare and once they crossed the halfway line they stepped forward to put out Chelsea's attack.
Chelsea dominated at least 70 per cent of the possession for the next half hour, but they struggled to break through the Dortmund defence, let alone feed the ball to the forwards in front.
Drogba, who has always overcome obstacles, is difficult to get the opportunity to catch the ball, and the striker Shevchenko, who Abou bought at a high price, has become invisible under the marking of Dortmund.
The official time of 90 minutes of play has expired, and the fourth official on the sidelines holds up a sign with three minutes of stoppage time.
The Chelsea stars were still at a loss in the face of Borussia Dortmund's steely defence, which was constantly breaking the ball out of bounds to stall for time.
In the first minute of stoppage time, Yan Jing also sent Di Maria to replace Ribery.
Franck Ribery, who scored a goal for Borussia Dortmund in the first half, feigned to be too tired to walk and walked slowly to the sidelines to hand over to Di Maria.
No matter how much the Chelsea fans booed, they couldn't stop Ribery from spending most of his stoppage time in this way.
When Frank Lampard's last-time shot went over the post and the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Dicker couldn't wait to announce it to the entire German crowd.
"From the beginning to the end of the game, the tactics used by Mourinho were completely seen through by Yan Jing!"
