The ball raced towards the bottom left corner of the goal, but the Trapani fans also saw Petr Cech pounce and fall to the left of Messi unmistakably.

Messi's shooting angle is very tricky, but the strength is still a little insufficient, Cech predicted in advance, the ball was touched by his palm, changed the original direction, and flew out of the bottom line!

Didn't go in!

Didn't go in!

Hugo hugged his head, oh my god didn't go in!

"Oh no! My God! Victor let out a wail.

The Trapani players are also a little incredulous, Messi's penalty shooting rate has always been high, and the penalty miss rate is relatively low, but he missed it in such an important game.

The Chelsea players were yelling for catharsis, Cech was as excited as he was scoring a goal, his team-mates high-fived him in celebration, and Gary Cahill was even more grateful to him.

"Peter, you saved me!" Cahill exclaimed heartily.

"We are a team and we can win!" Petr Cech hugged Cahill to cheer him on.

Ashley Cole received a special hug from Cech, and after interfering with Messi, Ashley Cole gave Cech a look and asked Petr to pounce to the left, and he really guessed right.

Messi, who was standing in place, was a bit confused, and he really couldn't explain why he listened to Ashley Cole and really shot the ball into the bottom left corner.

The comfort of his teammates brought Messi back to reality from his distraction.

"Leo, it's okay, don't take it personally, we're definitely going to get another chance, we're going to win!" You'll score goals too! ”

Messi laughed so embarrassedly, "Ashley Cole asked me to shoot left, I really shot left!" I'll go, I'm really fucking listening to him! ”

Boateng was there at the time, and I really don't know whether to cry or laugh when I think about it.

"You ......, forget it, it's not a big deal if it's just a penalty! We're going to score for sure, they're just going to shrink, I don't believe they're going to make mistakes! ”

……

"Trapani missed a great opportunity! Messi's shot power is still a little smaller, but we can clearly see from the slow motion that Cech has moved ahead of time when he saves! Sacchi also sighed for Trapani in the live broadcast room, "Missing a penalty in such an important game will also have some bad effects on the team's morale!" Hopefully, this penalty won't affect Messi's performance and won't bring any sequelae to Trapani! ”

To be honest, Sacchi's prediction was confirmed afterwards, although the players all tried their best to comfort Messi and reassure him that the team still had a chance, and Messi seemed to be normal in the conversation with his teammates, but in fact they were more impatient in the subsequent performance.

Ashley Cole seems to have become Messi's enemy, Messi always wants to find trouble with him, Ashley Cole is very experienced in defending Messi, and Di Matteo has also formulated a detailed tactical strategy for Messi, that is, a few people to surround it, Bertrand does not need to think about attacking at all, that is, to help defend in his own half.

There is also Frank Lampard in the middle, Lampard's main task today is not to plug in at all, but to defend in the half, he is a more versatile player, in the England national team he and Gerrard are a double German, but there is a big problem with the integration of the two of them, what is the main reason?!

It's because they're both too strong and cover too much area, and the two of them can't do the finesse of Ronaldo, but they are also versatile midfielders, so that England's manager can't arrange their positions well, and there is too much overlap in their roles.

But in their respective clubs they can play more fully, for example, Frank Lampard, he is very attacking and if you ask him to defend, he is also the kind of player who can take on big responsibilities.

Di Matteo's task today was to defend and play his long balls, so Lampard was positioned further down.

After conceding the goal, Chelsea played a defensive counterattack, Drogba and another wide player, Kalou, and perhaps it was the proof that Cech saved the penalty to bring to the Chelsea players, which made them a little excited.

Drogba is not young, but today he seems to have returned to the era of his peak years, very confrontational, and Drogba is not easy to mess with in the Premier League all year round.

Many of the Premier League's power-based strikers like to fight very much, and they often take the initiative to provoke defenders, and Drogba is frequently looking for trouble with Boateng at this time, he said to Boateng, boy, you are still a little tender, Chelsea's many long passes are not to play behind the Trapani backline, but directly to Drogba, let Drogba fight.

Arsene Wenger also left a hand in the defensive arrangement today, Mertesacker's slow turn is a hidden danger, so let him drag back and give him a buffer time to react and start, and Boateng is the defender who is responsible for keeping a close eye on Drogba.

Having said that, this arrangement is right for Drogba, and even if Wenger doesn't arrange it this way, Drogba will go to Boateng for trouble.

Boateng is not short, but Mertesack is taller than him and strong enough, Drogba is still very good at picking people, Boateng participated in two Champions League finals as the main force, and he is experienced, but he is a young man after all, without Mertesacker oil, Drogba feels that he is the easier person to deal with in the Trapani defense.

Drogba's choice is not wrong, Drogba is looking for Boateng, the young Boateng was really deceived by Drogba, and was overshadowed by Drogba's small actions, which made him extremely unhappy, and collided with Drogba in the confrontation, which made him feel that this guy was even more terrifying than Ibrahimovic.

In the 29th minute, Boateng lost his mind and was directly shown a yellow card by Proenka for too much action in defense, and Drogba was considered a treacherous plan.

"Damn, this is a yellow card?! Cahill was handball in the box just now, and he didn't get a card! Is this Proenka funny?! Victor yelled.

"Hmph, the screaming child has milk! The child who didn't scream was hungry! Hugo smiled coldly, Trapani was the dominant side, the players were too civilized on the pitch and did not put too much pressure on Proenca, on the other hand, the Chelsea players, as soon as something was wrong, immediately surrounded Proenka and put pressure on him.

Cahill's handball was supposed to be a red card, but the Chelsea players were emotional, and the Trapani players were indifferent, allowing Cahill to escape the red card.

"Steady! You guys are terrible on the pitch! Don't press the formation too much, recycle! Arsene Wenger called out to the Trapani players on the pitch from the sidelines.

His hissing finally had some effect, Trapani was no longer in a hurry to pass the ball to the front, the transmission at the back began to increase, and the climax of Chelsea's just wave of counter-attacks was over, their tactical thinking was very unified, and they did not adopt the tactics of pressing high at all, Kalou and Drogba were more like the front court.

The time in the first half is getting less and less, Chelsea's remnants are really amazing, their defensive strength is not as good as Real Madrid, but the success rate of this defense is much higher than Real Madrid, not so much the credit of Di Matteo, but the fact that these players have finally regained the mental willpower of the iron-blooded Blues, many times they have tried their best to clear the siege, fight for every sideline, every bottom line ball!

Trapani slowly adjusted his mentality, and the situation on the pitch slowly returned to what it was more than ten minutes ago, and Chelsea had to revert to their own half-court defence, leaving only Didier Drogba in front of him as a striker.

"If it were me, Torres should have been put on the pitch before this game! Torres is more effective on the counter-attack, he's fast! Lombardo began to evaluate the employment of his compatriots again.
