190 The Giant Elephant Shakes the Tree
Robben had been gritting his teeth and chasing after Redondo, not daring to relax at all.
He also felt that Redondo was subconsciously taking care of him, but he also knew that it was based on absolute confidence in his own strength, and even so, he still had to continue to push it.
"Redondo is getting a little impatient now......" Frank frowned, "No matter how you look at it, I think Redondo doesn't seem to want to continue to entangle with Robben, do you think he will be angry and choose to use legitimate means to send him down?" ”
Dean was dumbfounded for a while, and actually felt that what Frank said made sense: "Although Redondo's temper has improved over the years, it doesn't mean that he can always tolerate Robben provoking him next to him......"
Before the words fell, Robben fell directly on the court, the expression on his face was very painful, and Redondo was already a meter away from him and passed the ball out at will, Riquelme received the ball directly not far away and continued to rush forward!
"Wait, what happened just now, why didn't Redondo do anything, Robben has already fallen?!"
"Let's take a look at the replay!"
During the replay, everyone finally saw what was going on between the two men, Robben chased after him again, trying to snatch the ball from Redondo's feet, but Redondo just glanced at him, and then made a very light gesture-
He knocked the ball with his heel, causing it to fly to the side, as if it was going to pass it, Robben immediately turned to pursue it, but when he turned around, the ball flew again to Redondo's feet as if it had been kicked by an invisible person.
Seeing the football fly into the arms of Lei Tongdu again, Robben turned around sharply again in a hurry.
Although his reaction and his speed have kept up, but after all, his body is not so bearable, Robben himself is not a player with strong bones, so after such a toss, he directly sprained himself on the court.
The referee looked at Robben and did not infer the question, because he was paying attention to the situation here The whole time Redondo did something, he saw it clearly, the game could not be stopped because of a person's injury, so the Chelsea team doctor could only avoid those players who quickly came on the field to see Robben's injury.
Mourinho, who was originally very happy, is now covered with dark clouds on his face, the possibility of Robben's injury will make him temporarily lack a big player, and in the next league schedule, although he has the possibility of winning the championship four rounds early, but that is in the case of beating the next opponent...... By the way, his next opponent is Manchester United.
But now was not the time to think about it, as the game continued and was particularly intense, with Riquelme rushing into the Chelsea box as soon as he got the ball
Go, this time he was very careful, Makelele did not take his football.
Riquelme looked at Chelsea's half and quickly delivered a long ball.
He knew that if the ball remained at his feet, he would be taken away by Makelele, and the best thing to do was to pass the ball before Makelele got up.
After the ball flew into the Chelsea half in a diagonal line, Belleron and Joe Cole directly fought for speed, and finally with the two men constantly colliding, Belleron overtook Joe Cole with his own narrow advantage and snatched the ball before him.
Joe Cole saw that the ball was about to be taken away by Belleron, and hurriedly took a risk to put a shovel, intending to shovel the ball out directly, the back of Belleron's head was like an eye, and the foot that was about to play the ball immediately kicked back, and the football flew in front of him like a naughty elf, and returned to his feet.
Joe Cole almost grazed Belleron's foot in front of him, but with so much force that it slid straight off the sideline and hit the billboard outside the stadium.
'Chelsea were fierce in this game! Let's all pay attention to the billboard in the scene, and now there are two pieces that have fallen, both of which were kicked by Joe Cole, and you say that if this kick is directly kicked on Belleron's body......? ”
Frank can't go on, he can't continue, because if he continues like this, he will cause a fight for the fans on both sides, and there were some unpleasant things on both sides of Deportivo and Chelsea before the start of this game, and it may not be good if this conflict arises again at this time.
But honestly, that's enough to that extent.
Fortunately, Belleron directly dodged the shovel wall, but this time it also slowed down its speed, seeing that Mark was coming, about to catch up with him, he directly gave up the idea of breaking through from the side, but looked around directly, raised his foot and passed to Morientes, who was plugged in.
As a top goalscorer, Morientes certainly knows how hard-earned the ball is and how easy it can be to lose in the eyes around him.
So, he took the ball forward a few steps as he received it, and before Terry could catch up, he knocked the ball directly to Portillo on the wing, and then quickly stepped forward himself.
Portillo's side often follows Bridge, and the ball naturally can't stay by his side all the time, so before the opponent's pace catches up, he only stops his steps, taps the football, and quickly turns around and passes diagonally!
The ball flew past Carvalho, who quickly turned to get back to the defense, but Morientes had already received Portillo's pass in the box!
Carvalho immediately pounced to block Morientes' shot, although Morientes was not very good in physical confrontation, but at least because of Juan's pre-match reminder, he was now well prepared, so in the face of the opponent's interference, he stubbornly resisted, and then raised his right foot -
“gooooooooooal! Fernando Morientes! A brilliant goal, the ball went straight to the ground, and it flew into the Chelsea door before Cech went down! I can't even find any way to stop this goal! ”
Frank went on to say: 'With Carvalho in the box, Morientes was still able to get the ball into the Chelsea net! Even before the start of the game, Deportivo La Coruna remained unaffected and it has to be said that they are getting better and better, and by the time Morientes started scoring goals, their attack was no less than that of any of the top teams! ”
Morientes shook his fist before turning and hugging Portillo, both of whom had scored in this game, so neither was burdened.
Because they have actually played in the same club for many years, the two men have a certain understanding of each other's styles, and Juan's large-scale practice has made them more comfortable on the pitch, and they can cooperate tacitly, whether it is passing or shooting, they can have their own choices.
After another five-minute stalemate, the half-time whistle blew and the first half of the game was over.
"The first half was over, the two sides played to a 2-2 draw, such a first half was indeed a wonderful, now the score is a draw, Chelsea used their own strong defense, Deportivo to death in their half, and Deportivo La Coruna is also not to be outdone, using their own methods, so that Chelsea's attack can not play at all...... Juan Dias, no one expected him to achieve such a result, play at such a level, this ability is enough to put most managers to shame...... I don't know what kind of performance they will bring us in the second half, let's wait and see! ”
Indeed, just looking at the current scene, it is really impossible to say who has the upper hand and who is beaten behind, and the second half of the game will be even more exciting.
In the midfield, the expression on Juan's face at the beginning was not very good, he had not yet entered the locker room, the players were drinking water and resting in the locker room at this time, if he went in at this time, it might affect everyone, he just stood in his coach's lounge, raised eyebrows and asked Alan next to him.
'Alan, don't you think there is any change in Chelsea's tactics and formation at this time?
The three assistant coaches and tactical analysts on the scene all lowered their heads, and cold sweat was about to drip from their heads.
They didn't see any change from the start, after all, Chelsea generally look like this – kite flying, everyone thought he would continue to use it.
However, the last half directly smashed a resounding slap on the face of all of them, Chelsea's pressing was very serious and positive, almost all of them were involved in the attack and defense of football, otherwise, Deportivo would not be so embarrassed.
'From the very beginning of the game, Mourinho was calm, but he actually looked like he was playing kite tactics, but he had switched to a full-pitched marking ......
Juan sighed and continued: "Just having a list of Deportivo La Coruna players five minutes before the game can make such a change, I have to say that Mourinho is indeed a genius. ”
Deportivo La Coruna's tactics in the last half were almost all based on Chelsea's starting line-up, but fortunately Juan kept an eye on him before letting everyone play, so that Belleron kept an eye on his direction, and also told Redondo to be sure to strengthen the defense, so that Deportivo did not lose badly in the first half.
"So what are we going to do in the second half......?"
Staring at the question of Ai Ai in front of him, Juan smiled.
"What to do? At least we had two away goals, and now we're tied 2-2 and overall we have the advantage here...... Don't be afraid, this game is not over yet, there are still 45 minutes to go. ”
Forty-five minutes is enough time to do a lot of things, and both Juan and Mourinho were almost unanimous as soon as they entered the dressing room.
"Attack and defend in the second half!"
In fact, neither Mourinho nor Juan knows that the best way to face a team that is as offensive and defensive as the opposing team is to play defensive counterattacks, but whether it is them or the opponent, they are good at playing defensive counterattacks.
Deportivo La Coruna and Chelsea players know how to easily break down the opponent's defense and know how to hit the opponent's counter-attack to the sky, so playing defensive counter-attacks at this time is a loss for the city, and it is better for them to have a face-to-face duel on both sides, especially in such a high-attack and defensive game.
While the locker rooms on both sides were urgently arranging the tasks for the second half, the outside commentary room was not at all peaceful, Frank and Dean were summing up the first half of the game, and as they summed up, their topic was tilted in an unknowable direction.
"Speaking of which, these two people seem to be sympathetic to each other, you see that when Deportivo arrived at the scene urgently, Mourinho took the initiative to apply for a 10-minute break, in fact, these 10 minutes should not have been, it was completely the precious rest time that Mourinho won for the opponent."
"That's right, and Juan can obviously take advantage of that and get the starting list for the next period without speaking, but he still sent his starting list directly, and Chelsea also received the list over there, so it can be said that the two teams are completely on a fair playing field, and I don't know what went wrong with Mourinho, obviously he doesn't like to win on the pitch the most?"
'Do you think Mourinho is that kind of person? In order to win, he can even water the lawn more and make the away team from afar feel uncomfortable! He's a triumphalist, and now you're telling me that he wants to play fair? ”
“…… Ahem, Frank, be careful what you say, Mourinho's huddle is not vegetarian, they are all as crazy as madmen. ”
"Okay...... At least in this game, I would like to give credit to Jose Mourinho for the way he did so in the fairest form of sportsmanship......
"Frank, you know what? If you continue to talk like this, you will be put in a sack on the way home. ”
"Speaking of which, in today's two games, where is the mascot in the midfield?"
"Uh...... If I'm not mistaken, it's on the side of the court, what are those two mascots doing, fighting? ”
Chelsea's mascot is a blue lion, while Deportivo LaCoruna's mascot is a pink boar...... No one comments on the design of these two pets that are close to the aesthetics of straight men, but these two mascots seem to be a little contradictory on the side of the court?
Originally, when the halftime was 15 minutes, the two teams should have rested, and some exhibition teams came to warm up, but at this time, the exhibition teams didn't know where they went.
After all the chatter, the camera could only turn its lens to the two mascots, and found something interesting.
…… For example, Deportivo LaCoruna's mascot this time is actually quite tall, a head taller than the Chelsea Blues next to him, plus his somewhat hideous and cute pink head, which suddenly makes people feel an inexplicable sense of absurdity.
What's even more ridiculous is that the pink pig of A Coruña actually wants to hook up with the blue lion of Chelsea.
Originally, the blue lion from Chelsea wanted to come over and make friends with his brothers, but I don't know what happened, and the two of them actually pushed on the side of the pitch?
People who don't know what's going on are watching the situation over there, and they soon know why, because Deportivo Mascot waved at the caddie on the sidelines to ask for the ball, and that action is quite skillful, and it looks like the master who usually asks for it.
The caddie didn't know why, but he handed him the ball, but when he received the ball, Deportivo mascot Little Pig immediately brought everyone a very wonderful performance.
He keeps the football on his toes – and it's worth mentioning that, because he's wearing a mascot suit, his toes are also the kind of piggy-like pointy horns.
But the football still stopped smoothly on his feet, without shaking at all, and when the fans couldn't help but exclaim, he had already lifted the ball, and the football fell directly on his huge head.
He caught the soccer ball with the bridge of his nose, and then picked it up one by one, and he took two steps forward, lowered his head, and directly lifted his foot backwards, a dashing back kick.
…… Okay, it's a bit silly to wear inside a mascot set like this, but let's not worry about the details.
To everyone's exclamations, the ball flew back again, and landed on his toes again as if it had made a beautiful rainbow.
"Wow, awesome fancy!" Frank whistled directly in the live broadcast room, "Deportivo is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, any staff member can actually play such advanced freestyle football...... If it weren't for the wrong height, I would have thought they had hidden Romario! ”
"I think you're right, Frank, but I think the chances of you're being put in a sack on your way home seem to be greatly increased......"
"What? I'm not wrong......"
After all the action, the little pig stomped the ball at his feet, and then the Deportivo mascot waved at Chelsea's mascot Blue Lions, which was self-explanatory.
You can do it, you go!
As if to see the contempt of the Deportivo mascot, the fans began to cheer for their mascot and assist, almost as enthusiastically as the players were still playing on the pitch.
The blue lion directly stiffened and covered his face there and didn't know what to do, after all, he really didn't know how to play freestyle football...... He's really just an ordinary staff member!
"Is it Leonel Messi again? I heard that he hid in the mascot suit last time and just arrived at the away game, which seems to be a game against Liverpool, right? ”
"Yes, I heard that a tabloid newspaper photographed him later, but he never admitted it...... It shouldn't be Messi, you see that this height is almost half the head of our blue lion! ”
"Uh, so does Coruna have a player that tall?"
"Yes......"
Height is actually a particularly obvious mark, for example, in the vast crowd, the first thing you see must be the tall person.
Deportivo really had a big stupid guy with shaggy hair and a heartless look, a Brazilian named David Luiz.
Tens of thousands of people in the audience coaxed together, but the blue lion still failed one after another, and the mascot of Deportivo was originally standing on the side and watching him, and then when he saw the ball fall again, he finally couldn't bear to come forward and hug him to comfort him.
I don't know what they said, but the Blue Lion's staff seemed to have come out of their obvious frustration, patted him on the shoulder, and turned away, leaving the little pink pig of A Coruña standing there alone.
At this time, a few people in the middle of the field finally came up, and the camera reluctantly shifted away from the situation over there, paying attention to the beauties on the field.
Deportivo took the opportunity to quickly sneak back to the players' tunnel, and then, he took off the huge prop head on his head in the players' tunnel, and the whole person was directly relieved.
The person inside is indeed David Luiz, there is no starting list for him in this game, and he didn't even come in the 23-man squad, but he is still itchy and wants to watch this game, after all, according to Jorge Mendes, in fact, at the beginning, there was a shadow of Chelsea in the future planned for him.
He wanted to see what the team would be like, which might have been where he grew up.
I have to say that it gave him a big shock when he watched it, after all, he always thought that his team was simply invincible when he was training, but those two goals today directly shattered his illusions.
After all, it's true that no team can be invincible, can it?
Pompons thought about it with a wry smile for a while, wanting to go to the locker room to see everyone, but when he was about to knock on the locker room door, he suddenly remembered whether Juan was also in there at this time, and suddenly he felt a little weak, after all, he did not tell Juan when he went out......
As he stood in the doorway, uneasy about how to get in, there was some sound from inside, and David Louiston stopped and listened.
It was indeed Juan's voice, and he was talking about the points to pay attention to on the court and the next tactics without any impatience.
And just listening to his tone, David Luiz felt that this game was actually exactly the same as every game usually, no different.
Just like in the first half, the frantic strangulation in midfield was a complete delusion.
Pompons stood in the doorway, not noticing that the voices inside had stopped, and then he heard Juan say in a very ordinary tone, "You can come in the same way, the one standing at the door...... Although there is no surveillance footage at Stamford Bridge, I have a way of finding out who you are, so it's better for you to come in right now and there is room for manoeuvre. ”
Ponpeng came back to his senses, and subconsciously was stunned, he knew that Juan must have regarded him as a Chelsea staff member who inquired about the other party's secrets, and under a nervousness, he directly buckled the little fragrant pig's head on his head, and then walked in slowly.
All the players of Deportivo La Coruna were watching him, silent, all with a look of fame on their faces, and they all knew how important it would be to overhear each other's secrets at this time.
They also believe that Chelsea will never do such a morally corrupt thing, after all, if it is really discovered, then Chelsea is likely to be punished heavily!
…… So will Deportivo be able to lie down and win again?
But when they were thinking like this, they came in from the door, and it was their own mascot who came in, and everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief, their faces were full of disbelief, and after looking at each other for a while, Belleron was the first to speak.
“…… Fluffy? ”
"Karma?" A strange voice came out of the mascot suit, and when everyone thought that Belleron had guessed wrong, he was silent for a while and said slowly: "Captain, how do you know it's me?" ”
Belleron shook his head with a smile: "With your height, all Laco can recognize you...... Aren't you supposed to be training in the training camp at this time, why did you suddenly come here? ”
"I, I just want to watch the game......" Messi, who taught him this trick, said that if he used the same reason, the bonus coefficient would be a little higher.
"Then you can just walk in, why are you still standing outside sneaky, we thought someone was eavesdropping outside!"
"This, it's because ......" he can't say it directly, it's because he's afraid that Juan is still in it, right?
If that's the case, then when he returns to his own venue, his life will not be easy......
"Okay, well, I know you're all in a hurry to play, but it's really not the most important time for you to get on the field to gain experience......" Juan sighed.
Last time it was Messi, this time it was Ponton, so will it be Mesut Ozil next time? They're just messing around!
"Forget it, since you're all here, sit on the edge of the court and watch......"
Juan didn't feel anything, but now he really had a headache.
If the children are a little nervous when they see that the seniors in front of them are fighting here, then next season will have to consider the arrangement between them.
After all, these treasures are in their own hands, but if they are not used, then they will still quickly run to others, and then the gains outweigh the losses.
After putting the children's affairs aside, Juan raised his head and glanced at everyone in the locker room.
'In the first half, we all showed what we were capable of, and to be honest there was no technical content in this game, we were only a few months old as our team, and the same was true for Chelsea on the other side, so we didn't have any more tactical changes on either side, so it's all about our performance and performance......
'Chelsea defended very well and protected the edge of the box very well, but we could still be bold and play a little bit more on the flanks and break through the middle.
"That ......" the curious baby Fluffy raised his hand directly, "May I ask what does this mean?" What does it mean to work a little bit more on the side and then break through from the middle? ”
Juan touched the child's head approvingly: "Before answering your question, we must first make it clear that Deportivo LaCoruna's middle is indeed stronger than the opponent, since the beginning of this season, Deportivo is now almost all relying on the attack of the midfield to break through and score goals, although the two wings are also powerful, but not as successful as the middle." ”
'So it's as simple as working a little bit more on both flanks to get the attention of a couple of Chelsea defenders and then we break through from the middle, you know?'
"Got it!"
The Deportivo players were quite happy to watch someone tease the child......
On the other side, Mourinho's speech did not stop, the man was surprisingly calm in the dressing room, and his eyes were shining with a faint fire.
This is his desire to win, this is his disapproval of Abramovich, this is his anger at his own incompetence that has no intention of changing the status quo today!
"At this time, although there is nothing else to compare, then we will compete with Deportivo to score more goals."
His voice was soft.
'No matter what team you're up against, we're very dominant in attack and defensively, so don't worry, just go straight to the attack.'
The second half of the game started quickly.
There was a fierce collision between the two sides at the beginning of the game, and Deportivo La Coruna learned directly this time, quickly cutting off the ball and quickly passing it into the box.
Chelsea obviously thought that Deportivo would play like this, but they definitely didn't expect Deportivo to come so quickly!
Ferreira was desperately running to make up for the defense, and at this moment Riquelme was about to meet him from the penalty area, and he was about to receive the ball, so he decided to take the risk and let go, even if it was a foul!
Ferreira, running at high speed, went straight to Riquelme's feet!
Not the right person, not the ball!
It was clear that a red card was about to be shown at the man's feet, and the whole Stamford Bridge pitch was a little discoloured.
Jose Mourinho has completely lost the smile on his face on the pitch.
This is the most reckless choice!
Riquelme obviously didn't want Chelsea to earn a red card, and when the opponent let go of the tackle, he only noticed his movement with a slight tilt of his head, so Riquelme easily deducted him and burst straight into the box.
The Stamford Bridge crowd was actually a bit depressed, because they all knew how lethal Riquelme was on the pitch, and almost all of the last two goals were directly or indirectly related to it......
If only Ferreira had succeeded in shoveling just now!
Most people thought so maliciously, but that was a thing of the past, and Riquelme was now stepping into the box with the ball.
The Colora players seemed to see hope of scoring, and at that moment, a mere 3,000 men seemed to overwhelm the Chelsea crowd.
After shaking off Ferreira, Riquelme immediately raised his foot to cross, and he now saw the best chance -
Chelsea don't have too many defenders in front of goal, so it's easy to get the ball if you have one man attacking!
And the one he chose to attack was Morientes!
However, this time it may have been bad luck, the ball did not reach the feet of Morientes, but was kicked out by Galla.
"Deportivo had already won a corner just two minutes into the second half, and they seemed to want to play against the visitors, but it was understandable, after all, this is Juan's team!"
A Coruna's corner kick was taken by Bellerón.
Ferreira, who had just been easily denied by Riquelme, was looking to make amends, however, he failed and the Chelsea players did not receive the ball, when Portillo, who was lying in ambush outside the box, volleyed straight into the ball and tried to take advantage of the chaos.
The ball hit Terry and bounced again, this time with Aimar receiving the ball, and Larman was about to pass the ball to Riquelme on the wing, only to be pushed to the ground and slid several metres on the grass before he could turn around.
- The man who toppled him was Makelele.
Almost at the same moment, the referee's shrill whistle sounded, which was a very direct and public-wide push, and there was almost no need for Chelsea to appeal!
It's a foul!
The Stamford Bridge crowd was waiting with bated breath, but they were understandably about trading a foul for a playmaker.
After all, Deportivo La Coruna's attack is so ferocious, how can they do it if they don't guard against it?
Of course, it's nice to be able to stop a goal without fouling, but it's good enough to be able to organise an attack, especially when you're only 30 metres away in front of goal.
…… Deportivo La Coruna's players are nervous to be so close to the goal with the ball. 166 Reading Network
