On October 23, at 19:45 in the evening, at 2:45 Beijing time the next day, the third round of the Champions League Group G group stage began at Stamford Bridge.

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

'You can see Chelsea, the home team in the blue jersey on the screen, attacking from left to right.

'The two strikers who appeared up front for Chelsea were Hernan, Crespo and Adrian Mutu, who were brought in this summer.

'Mutu has been in good form since he arrived at Chelsea, and if it weren't for the big money he spent on his purchase, Mutu would have been bought by Lazio this summer.

'Chelsea's four midfielders are Frank Lampard, Veron, Claude Makelele and Duff.

"At the strong demand of the Argentine before the game, Crespo finally started with his national team team-mates."

"The four defenders are Johnson, Galla, Terry, Bridge."

'With veteran Chelsea captain Desailly still unhealed from his injury, the captain's armband for this game was worn on John Terry's shoulder.

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

'Tang Wu joined Chelsea last year but only started a couple of times until this season.

"By the way, it is worth mentioning that this is the first official appearance of a Chinese player in a competition of this level in the Champions League, so let's congratulate Tang Wu."

In just one sentence, Huang Jianxiang said passionately.

A few simple words represent the beginning of Chinese football to get involved in the world's top competitions, how can this not make Huang Jianxiang excited?

Looking at the two sides on the screen who were testing each other, Huang Jianxiang adjusted his mood and continued to introduce.

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

"Lazio have been poor in recent years, with at least £5,000W in debt at the end of last season. It is for this reason that Lazio did not make a big purchase of players this summer. ”

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

'Inzaghi Jr. has been in great form lately, and it was because of his brace in the Champions League group stage that Lazio were not given three points at home to Prague.

'In midfield, Conceição and Zauri flew on the wings, with Stankovic and Albertini in the middle.

'With injuries to Cesar and Coto, the four defenders were Otto, Stam, Mihajlovic and Favali.

"The goalkeeper is still Peruzzi."

"Huh! Chelsea attack! ”

'Frank Lampard goes through.'

"Duff!"

"Duff fell in the box!"

"Is it a penalty?"

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

"It's a goalball." Huang Jianxiang was just as sorry as the Blues fans at the scene.

A total of 3,500 Lazio fans came to Stamford Bridge with the team. But for the huge Blues fans, it's drizzle.

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

"Stand back, stand back! Defend! Terry turned around first and shouted at Tang Wu not far behind him.

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

If the Lazio players had made a sudden attack at the back, Chelsea might have conceded the first goal due to Tang Wu's late return.

In fact, without waiting for Terry's reminder, Tang Wu began to slowly retreat as soon as Duff fell.

He had long expected this.

Or whenever the ball is converted, dead ball, etc., the first thing Tang Wu has to do is to retreat into the big penalty area.

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

Since he has chosen "aggressive defense", as for whether he will waste more physical strength because of this, this is also a choice for Tang Wu.

Soon, Tang Wu retreated to the line of the big penalty area and watched Peruzzi drive the goal.

After the ball flew through half the pitch, Frank Lampard leapt up in the middle and collided with Conceição.

Makelele is worthy of being the No. 1 defender in today's football, and his height of 170 is hard to resist Inzaghi, who is 15 cm taller than him, and stuck the opponent behind him.

The ball landed a little badly, but Makelle stayed where he was and didn't move a single step.

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

Terry looked up at Conceição, who was running towards him past the others, and subconsciously turned around and pushed the ball to Tang Wu, who did not hesitate to distribute the ball to Bridges on the other side.

At this point, Lazio's "attack" was completely defused by the Blues in a way that opened up space.

Seeing Bridge comfortably dribble the ball down the empty flank, Lazio had to adjust their formation and reorganize their defence.

Mancini crossed his shoulders on the sidelines, his brow furrowed slightly.

Before the game, he tried to analyse the current situation at Chelsea from Ranjeli's point of view, trying to guess what line-up the Italian would be fielding.

Veron, Lampard, and Duff all guessed eight or nine, but Tang Wu was the only one he never dreamed of.

In Mancini's opinion, is there still a goalkeeper for Chelsea today?

Who will they send other than Cudicini, who made a mistake a few days ago and is familiar with him?

However, reality played a huge joke on Mancini.

The thing he didn't care about the most, but Lajili sent a "surprise soldier"!

It was this "miracle soldier" that allowed the Blues to defuse several Lazio attacks in less than ten minutes of driving. The return pass just now is just a microcosm of Chelsea's tactical coordination at the back.

Exchanging space for possession may seem simple, but I didn't expect it to work so well in practice.

This is at a time when Premier League stadiums are generally on the small side.

If it's at Camp Nou, Lazio doesn't know how much physical strength will be consumed by the other party!

"The goalkeeper is so far away from the goal, isn't this old fox afraid of us to shoot?" Mancini thought hatefully, but never gave such instructions.

The first is that the difficulty of hanging shooting in the backcourt is too high, and the second is that Tang Wu's attention is very concentrated, and he retreats quickly as soon as there is a "wind and grass".

In this case, it's better not to do the things that divert the ball.

The game lasted more than ten minutes, and both sides were about the same.

The Blues have organised attacks from the back five or six times, while Lazio have never been on the edge of the Chelsea box with the ball.

Of course, it had a lot to do with John Terry and Claude Makelele's all-out pressing near midfield.

In the 17th minute, the Blues pressed again.

Frank Lampard shook off Stankovic up front and stabbed the ball behind Albertini with a soft poke of his toe.

Because Frank Lampard's pass was so hidden, Mutu was half a beat slower to connect the ball.

When Mutu sprinted towards the ball, Stam returned in time to make a flying tackle and shovel the ball out of the box.

Favali blocked the incoming ball with his chest at the edge of the penalty area and swept the ball into the air before it could hit the ground.

Looking at the ball flying towards midfield, the Blues midfielders moved back en masse, intending to take the ball down again in midfield.

Frank Lampard collided with Conceição again, and with his previous experience, he grabbed the corner of Lampard's shirt and kept him from jumping; Frank Lampard was also clever enough to keep his body in place and keep Conceição from moving.

In this way, the ball landed two meters in front of the entangled two, and bounced high again and bounced forward.

Looking at the ball bouncing a second time, Terry took a step back and gestured to his teammates to break over.

"Terry... The second point..."Huang Jianxiang explained unhurriedly.

"Header back!?"

"Terry made a mistake!"

With Wong's exclamation, the hearts of the 35,000 Blues fans were lifted.

Terry was going to give the ball to Tang Wu at the back, but he didn't expect the ball to bounce a little again.

The ball didn't bounce off Terry's prepared power point, but more like it "smashed" Terry's head and bounced towards his own penalty area.

You know, John Terry is Chelsea's last centre-back!

Before Terry could land, little Inzaghi, who was ready to attack, rushed out like a poisonous snake.

Although Inzaghi is 1.85 meters tall, he is closely defended by several Blues defenders, and even if he earns to the top, he can't control it.

Clever he has long since learned to stay on the sidelines and look for holes in the Blues' defence.

Luckily, the Blues' mistake didn't keep him waiting long.

The ball bounced backwards as Terry thought, but it was too slow!

If nothing else, after the ball hit the ground three times, the ball will be at the feet of Inzaghi.

At that time, the top Italian striker will single-handedly slash an unknown goalkeeper, and the result will be known with his ass.

Everyone raised their hearts to their throats, held their breath, and looked at the ball that bounced up again after hitting the ground.

Inzaghi Jr. had already pushed up to maximum speed, his eyes shining on the brilliance that followed his goal at Stamford Bridge.

"Tang Wu attacked!" Looking at the black figure that appeared on the left side of the screen, Huang Jianxiang only had time to squeak.
