For the Fiorentina fans in the stands, they were also a little surprised to be scored such a goal by Chen Long. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

They knew that Chen Long's personal ability was outstanding, but they didn't want to be able to stand out to this point.

Under the close marking of two people, he can still turn and get rid of it, and then run all the way to the ball and score the ball into the goal guarded by Colo.

Many Fiorentina fans looked at each other.

Chen Long's goal sent the Milan players a little crazy with celebration, and it wasn't until the referee stepped in that they were cleared up and returned to their own half.

The game restarted at the end.

After all, Fiorentina also fought for the championship and was not simply knocked down by such a goal.

They didn't panic after conceding the goal, but continued to hold the penalty area while picking up the tempo and using their physical advantage to bring down Milan.

Forced Milan to be exhausted.

In response to this situation, Mourinho immediately made adjustments.

He signaled the players not to follow the rhythm of the opponent, although the goal has just been scored at this time, the morale has improved, but don't think about scoring goals, it is better to hold the defense first and not lose the ball.

Everything will be further adjusted at halftime.

At this time, as long as you don't keep conceding goals.

Otherwise, if you concede another goal before the end of the first half, then there will be no adjustment at halftime.

In such a situation, the game was deadlocked, and no one scored again.

Fiorentina could see that they wanted to score, but at this time Milan were all shrinking their defense, and in the face of such an iron bucket formation, they didn't have much to do for a while, except for a cross from the wing. Wide crosses, in the middle of which there is a tall central defender like Si Wen, and air defense is his strong point

Far shè, because Milan pays a lot of attention to the protection and disturbance in front of the penalty area, so far shè does not have a very good effect.

Until the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, the score remained unchanged, it was still 1:1!

At the end of the first half, judging by the expressions on the faces of the players, the Milan players looked much better than when they had just conceded the penalty.

Chen Long's goal gave them some confidence.

Overall, however, the situation has not been reversed.

Because they are still few individuals, physical fitness is still a big problem, especially on the back line, Gomez, Khedira, Carvajal, plus the core of the midfield Rodriguez, the physical consumption of several of them is very serious. After all, on the one hand, their age is there, in such a high-intensity game, it is already particularly physically demanding, and now in addition, the team has one less person to fight, Fiorentina seized the opportunity to constantly consume their physical strength, so that their physical strength is now very serious.

They don't know if they'll be able to make it to the end of the race.

Is there only one Chen Long in the attack?

They also wanted to help Chen Long, but they didn't have enough power......

When I returned to the locker room, under the influence of such emotions, although no one was depressed, no one was talking and laughing, and the mood was not high overall.

That's when manager Jose Mourinho walked in.

He swept the locker room.

Then he walked to the zhongyāng in the locker room.

"I know it's harder than we thought. Although Chen Long's goal equalised, it wasn't the end of the game, there were still 45 minutes to go, and in those 45 minutes, anything could happen. Even if we are drawn now, we could end up losing this game due to lack of energy. ”

The assistant coach next to him, Faria, turned his head to look at Mourinho, not quite understanding why he said this, the experts highlighted the team's difficulties, is he still afraid that the players are not under pressure enough? Generally speaking, at this time, as the head coach of the team, you should encourage the players.

"We won the league title, so to speak, in the end, it was very easy to get it, but, as you know, the situation of our team is not very good in this period of time, because we have hardly faced any strong opponents during this period, our form, cooperation, and the most serious thing is our backline, fitness problems, I can see that many people are almost overwhelmed. The physical strength has declined, the pursuit of the soldiers has progressed, and now there are all kinds of unexpected situations, and there are still many voices in the media who are not optimistic about us...... But. ”

Speaking of which, Mourinho paused.

He turned his head to look at the players, who were already looking up at their manager, wanting to hear what was behind the "but".

"But is this beyond our capabilities? Does it make us feel miserable, feel powerless, think it's impossible? You know, we're the league champions, we can win the league, let alone the cups? We have beaten opponents in the league who are as strong as defending champions Juventus, let alone Fiorentina. Mourinho asked rhetorically, "Answer me, cup winners, is this beyond our means?" ”

After asking, he stared at his players.

Someone looked at him, someone looked at his teammates, looking at each other.

Chen Longluo stood up from his seat suddenly: "No, there is absolutely no cup champion, and no one is allowed to snatch it from me."

Glory's enthusiasm and simplicity led the rest of his teammates, and they all roared: "Never give it to anyone"

"The champion is ours, we want the champion"

"How old is Florence? We are the first team in the league, we are the strongest team in Serie A"

Everyone's howls rang out in the locker room.

Seeing everyone's emotions rising, Mourinho struck while the iron was hot, he waved his arms and shouted: "It's not too late, if Fiorentina thinks that this will crush us, then let's see, how strong Milan's desire for the title is, Milan's goal from the beginning of this season is the treble, the unexpected exit of the Champions League is not something we can control, the league title is already in our pocket, then, the cup title, of course we have no reason to lose it again." ”

"Yes—that's right—" The crowd looked up to the sky and roared, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

Of course, it is not enough to just shout slogans, and you always have to make practical tactical adjustments, otherwise the power of Jing God will not last long.

So after shouting the slogan, Mourinho made tactical adjustments to the team.

“…… Everyone thinks we have to win this game or it's a defeat. But what if we don't think so ourselves? Now we are a draw, is a draw acceptable? I don't think there's anything unacceptable. ”

Mourinho's words surprised everyone - he was still talking about winning the title before, why is he going to accept a draw now?

Seeing everyone's surprised eyes, Mourinho smiled: "Of course, the draw I am talking about here refers to regular time, that is, within 90 minutes, as long as we can hold on to the draw in regular time, then the next situation will be in our favor, players, you have to remember that we want to win from beginning to end, but in terms of mentality, you have to be relaxed, otherwise we will not win this game." Even if it's a draw for the time being, it's not a big deal. So for the rest of this game, we have to defend and counterattack. Even if we can't score again, we can't concede goals. If we don't lose, we still have a chance, and if we lose, it's really nothing. Players, you have to understand that Fiorentina also have limited fitness, it's a big deal that we play extra time or even points, you know, when the game gets to that point, we are the more dominant side......

It dawned on everyone...... That's what it meant

'We had one less man on the pitch than our opponents and from the final stages of the first half you could see that Fiorentina were aiming to speed up the pace of the game and force us to be more physical. So we can't go with them. They have to be fast, we have to be slow, shrink the defense and don't give them a chance to score...... We want to play a game that suits the current state of the team......"

Captain Rodriguez raised his hand: "Coach, what about the goal?" ”

Mourinho nodded: "That's a good question, of course, you can't just defend, but whenever there is a chance, we have to win, then, if you want to win, you have to score, otherwise we won't win the title." The task of scoring goals is left to ......"

With that, he turned his head and set his gaze on ...... Long Chen.

"Chen,"

He pointed at Long Chen.

Everyone turned their heads to look at Long Chen.

Chen Long pointed at himself back: "Me? ”

Mourinho nodded: "Yes, it's you." But unfortunately, for the rest of the game, your team-mates may not be able to provide you with much support, you have to face the entire defence of the opposition alone. Everyone else has to defend at the back, and even if we have an opportunity to attack, they won't go up. If you want to score goals like this again, can you do it? ”

Chen Long is very happy -- he has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, which is a full recognition of my ability and high hopes for me

Maybe in the eyes of others, this is something that takes a long time to frown and think before he can come up with an answer, but for Chen Long, this is what makes him the happiest, he doesn't need to think about it at all, he just stood up, raised his head with his chest straight, and replied loudly: "No problem, I guarantee it"

Mourinho smiled.

He liked the way this young man was always full of fighting spirit. At the same time, this is also one of the things he admires most about Chen Long.

In today's Milan team, and even in football, a man like him is simply too precious and we need him so much.

No difficulties can defeat him, nor can they affect him, he will always face those incredible difficulties with the most vigorous fighting spirit

"Very good" Mourinho was also infected by Chen Long's fighting spirit, he nodded vigorously and said loudly.

The other teammates did the same, and they sent their blessings to Chen Long: "Come on, Chen Long"

"You can do it, Chen, we all believe in you"

"Defend it to us, make sure you don't concede a goal before you score"

", don't concede a goal after you score"

Everyone laughed.

Varane, who has always blamed himself for being sent off with a red card, also expressed his gratitude to Chen Long: "Thank you, Chen, you make me feel better." I'll cheer you on in the locker room for the championship."

"Chen, try to do it, I will do my best to attract defense and make the ball for you in the next half of the game", Lukaku also came over and patted Chen Long on the shoulder.

…………

Facing the enthusiastic teammates, Chen Long patted his chest to show confidence: "Let's take a look"

This is his usual expression, which is used to express confidence.

The atmosphere in the locker room suddenly came alive.

After the start of the second half, assistant coach Faria asked Shaaf off the field: "Can Chen Long really score goals by himself?" ”

Mourinho shook his head: "To be honest, I don't know. There is no stat or evidence that he can score. But at this point, what can we do but believe he can score? ”

Mourinho's answer silenced Faria for a moment.

This is a rather helpless answer, it is completely gambling.

This is also the current situation of Milan, there is no other chance except to gamble.

In the second half, everyone, whether it was the Fiorentina fans, managers and players, or the Milan fans, the reporters in the media box, the commentators in the commentary box, the spectators in front of the TV...

It was obvious that Milan had adjusted their tactics.

They started the second half of the game with a rigid stance

Almost all of the players retracted into their own half, even the 30-metre zone, and defended Fiorentina's attack.

This makes a lot of people incomprehensible.

Milan are league champions, shouldn't they be looking for a win?

But how can they still win?

All of their strength is on defense...... How to attack?

How can you score without attacking?

Don't...... Mourinho saw that his team's physical condition was really poor, so he abandoned the unrealistic idea and just wanted to be able to keep the draw and not lose? And then play overtime? Or even a penalty? Perhaps this is Milan's strength.

That's fine. The team now has one less person, and they must shrink their defense, otherwise they will press out and attack, which is to think that they are dying slowly.

But before that, won't his team collapse due to physical exhaustion?

In the first ten minutes of the game, Fiorentina pressed Milan to play, and Chen Long was basically not seen on TV. So no one would have thought that Milan still had an attack.

They were just speculating on how long Milan could hold out like this.

'The half-time break gave the Milan players some fitness and they had a chance to breathe. But it didn't last long. When they have fitness problems, their defensive moves will go out of shape, and then maybe it's Fiorentina's chance."

Milan, who have one man less, will be able to shrink their defence, which is a relatively safe thing for them.

But Fiorentina can't afford to let Milan do that, and if they do keep them in a group, they can really stay through until the end of normal time.

Draw?

Fiorentina's players don't want it now.

And you must know that just before the game, Fiorentina's players also thought that a draw with Milan in regular time was also an acceptable result

But after a penalty and Milan were one man less, their ambitions began to swell.

A regular-time draw is no longer enough for them.

They want to win

If they don't win this game, they will definitely be very, very disappointed, always feel pity and unwilling.

Milan were not reconciled to that draw, and neither were they Fiorentina

Sousa made a change at half-time – he guessed that Milan would certainly shrink their defence. Because they are too small to press out and attack, he thinks Mourinho wants to hold on to a draw in regulation time.

So in order not to let Milan shrink too hard, and at the same time consume a lot of Milan's physical strength.

Fiorentina needed to run more aggressively in the second half, mobilizing Milan's players with passes and putting more pressure on them, putting them under double pressure, both physically and mentally.

As a result, Sosa believes that it will not be long before Milan's players will be under too much pressure and will eventually collapse due to excessive physical exertion.

That's when Fiorentina won

Fiorentina relied on their better fitness than Milan to speed up the pace of the game.

They also really mobilized Milan's defense to exhaust themselves.

But Milan's goal was not discarded.

Ten minutes into the second half, the score was unchanged.

After another five minutes, Fiorentina still couldn't find the back of the net against Milan.

After another five minutes, Milan's defence looked a little loose, but they still didn't concede a goal

Sosa frowned from the sidelines.

I didn't expect this Milan to be really tenacious. He originally thought that Milan, which was physically exhausted and had one person less, should not last long......

But......

How long can you last like this?

"The Milan players are already running out of energy, but now there are 25 minutes left before the end of the 90 minutes – which is exactly the time when the players are most tired in a game. So can Milan's players hold on? ”

Commentator Peta also raised such questions.

"It was really dangerous just now, if Stegen's second reaction was fast enough, maybe Fiorentina's Bakic's would have made up for it......" Zhan Jun also sighed in front of the microphone.

Fiorentina's barrage of onslaught just now looked like they were really going to score.

In fact, they were only close to scoring.

"Milan won't last long." Li Yi said.

In front of the TV, although many Chen Long's fans were scolding Li Yi for pouring cold water, he had to admit in his heart that this game had reached the most critical moment, and if he didn't want to do anything, maybe Milan would lose the goal. And they believe that if Milan concedes again, it may not be possible to get it back...... What if it gets it back? It's a draw, but it's not a championship yet.

Chen Long was very anxious when he saw his teammates so embarrassed in the front court. Looks like they're running out of it.

He wanted to run back and help defend.

Mourinho has used up the second substitution, removed the physically exhausted Khedira, and replaced it with the new force Cai Heng to continue to strengthen the defense.

But it still doesn't seem to work.

The ball just now, he was going to defend back. But as soon as he ran back to the half, he was yelled back by Sanchez: "Go back to the front, will you come back and make trouble?" ”

The tone is not good, and the attitude is vicious. But Chen Long knew that it was because the situation was critical at that time, and Sanchez didn't have time to say more to himself.

Sure enough, when the attack was over, Sanchez found him.

"You've got to stay in front for our defense to make sense, you know?" Sanchez walked up to Long Chen and said to him. "Otherwise, if you come back, we don't know who to pass the ball to, what if we have a chance to fight back? Now that they're looking at us defensively, they're going to do it again. I think they're going to press harder, their full-backs won't come back and that's our chance...... At that time, we need you in front, Long Chen"

Long Chen nodded vigorously.

"I see, Renato"

Sanchez looked at him so seriously and laughed again: "Take it easy, Chen." You're in a good place. ”

With that, he turned and ran back and continued to participate in the defense.

As Sanchez said, Fiorentina almost scored on this attack, which greatly stimulated him

Like a traveler who had been groping his way through the darkness and finally saw the lights burning in front of them, they suddenly burst out with tremendous energy, intending to finish their work and completely defeat Milan in the next attack

Their back line as a whole pressed a little further, and the full-backs really became full-backs, and after attacking, they didn't go back, but waited in the front for the next chance to attack.

Fiorentina are going to create a sense of continuity in the Milan penalty area, leaving them in disarray

In the face of Fiorentina's overwhelming attack, Milan's players still persevered.

But it was definitely not Mourinho's words during the break that made them insist so much.

The reason why they have persevered until now despite the rapid depletion of physical strength and almost exhaustion is only because they believe in their teammate - Chen Long

They believe that they are defending so desperately in the backfield, and Chen Long in front will definitely have a chance to score a goal for them and completely reverse the situation

Just like he did in the first half.

At that time, who would have thought that they would be able to equalize?

Chen Long believes.

So now...... We also have to believe in Him

Fiorentina attacked again, this time opting for a wide cross. However, the football that went in the cross was grabbed by central defender Cai Heng and pushed it out in front of Bakic.

Fiorentina's attack was not over, they mastered the second landing point. Fiorentina's other striker, Harry Maguire, chested the ball off and fired it with his foot

With a bang, the football slammed into the chest of the captain, Rodriguez

Rodriguez fell on his back, but the ball bounced out.

Rugani fought with Fiorentina's third player, risking being kicked and injured by the opponent's kick, stabbing the ball out first, and then colliding with the opponent.

The ball that was poked out by Rugani landed right in an empty space, surrounded by players from both sides.

So the players on both sides rushed to the football at the same time

Sanchez and the opposing Lexa face each other.

It looks like everyone has a chance to steal football.

Sanchez made a decisive sliding tackle when he was about to get to the ball

The same is true for the other party.

Even if you can't grab the ball, you have to destroy and disturb the opponent.

Almost in the blink of an eye, two people fell foot to foot and collided together......

The scene was tragic.

But everyone is not concerned with whether anyone is injured or not, but more concerned with another issue......

What about balls?

Chen Long has been standing on the halfline, even if this position is still a little away from the opponent's central defender, he did not go any further to try to get closer.

He remembers how Djuric explained the offside rule to him when he was in Cesena - as long as he didn't cross the halfway line, there was no such thing as an offside.

So this place is the safest.

Chen Long didn't want to let his teammates' hard-earned chances fall into Fiorentina's offside trap and go down the drain.

He is not afraid of being far away from the other party, he has absolute confidence in his speed, even if he starts later than the other party and runs a longer distance, he is also confident that he will come first

He just stood on the midline, watching closely what was happening in his own half of the place.

Then he saw Sanchez and the opposing Lexa colliding together.

What about football?

Instead of flying into Milan's penalty area, the football ...... It flew in the exact opposite direction, towards the Fiorentina half

Isn't this an opportunity?

Although the route of the soccer flight is not in the position where Chen Long is now.

But it doesn't matter, I can run

When Chen Long saw the football flying to the front court, he started on the spot, accelerated, crossed the field diagonally, and rushed to the landing point of the football

Sanchez fell to the ground, and he collided with the opponent hard, but at this time he didn't bother to see if he was injured somewhere, he propped up his upper body with both hands and looked up for the ball.

He wasn't sure if he had played the soccer ball first, as it seemed to be flying towards him first.

But he knew very well that he was playing football.

So where does football end up?

He quickly found the soccer ball - right in front of him, and the ball was flying in the air, in ...... direction Fiorentina's half

He turned his head sharply and went to find Long Chen again.

Does that kid have a chance to get this ball?

He then saw a bolt of blue-black lightning streak across the area in front of him, chasing the football

It's him

It's him

Sanchez's hands clenched violently, pulling up a lot of grass from the turf......

It's up to you, Long Chen

He maintained this position, his eyes kept staring at Long Chen's back.

"The football unexpectedly flew to Fiorentina's half, and Milan managed to clear the ball and the crisis was resolved...... Nope."

Peta's tone was normal before, but this sudden roar startled many fans in front of the TV.

Because it was really, really loud and very, very sudden......

Soon everyone saw what made Peta so excited - on the TV screen, a blue-black figure crossed the pitch and appeared in the camera's field of vision, and he chased the football

"The crisis in Milan is over, but ...... Crisis ...... in Florence Coming---(To be continued.) )
