Chapter 520: The Gap in Frontcourt Efficiency

Ass goals, too!

The moment the football rolled across the goal line, the Olympic Stadium resounded with a huge cheer, and every Millwall supporter was celebrating excitedly, shouting various slogans to express their inner joy at the goal.

Of these slogans, one is the loudest --

"Bent! Bent! Bent! ”

Many people joined in shouting Bent's name, because the two goals in the game, both scored by Darren Bent, who had just scored his tenth Champions League goal, and there was no doubt that he would become the top scorer in the Champions League, and there was no player to compete with him.

In second place in the current Champions League scorer list is AC Milan's Kaka, who has scored eight goals, one of which is a penalty, and eight goals are enough to stabilize the second place.

There are more players in the third place in the scoring list: Liverpool's Crouch, Chelsea's Didier Drogba, Valencia's Morientes, all three players have scored six goals, and these players are determined by the time they play, and less minutes mean more efficiency and higher rankings.

When it comes to the final of the Champions League, only participating teams can compete for it, and Drogba still has a chance to fight for the top scorer, provided that at least four goals are scored in the remaining time.

Obviously, that can't be done.

So Bent can definitely become the Champions League scorer king, and his performance is indeed very good, the final was less than halfway through, and the two goals were enough to overshadow all the other players, even if Smitchell, Morris and others performed well, it was difficult to block the light of Bent's accumulation of goals.

Bent became the focus of the audience.

At this very moment, almost all the TV commentary media is talking about Bent, "Bent! Millwall's Number Ten! It is also the sharp knife of the whole team, he used one goal after another to help Millwall enter the final, and also helped the team to achieve a huge score advantage in the final! ”

"Maybe in the eyes of many fans, Bent is a bit of a name, in fact, he has been selected for the England national team."

"Bent is not only the Champions League scorer, but also the Premier League scorer, this season he ushered in an explosion, the league, the Champions League, are like a goal machine!"

"Bent averages 83 minutes in the Champions League to score a goal! That's amazing! ”

'Bent didn't play all the Champions League games, Millwall didn't play in two games in the group stage, but he still scored 10 goals!'

"It's an interesting ball, Bent scored it with his hips! Maybe it's the height, all he can use is his ass, and he's very quick to react......"

“……”

In the Millwall dugout, Zhang Yang and the others celebrated, and many people couldn't help but laugh, they were excited about the goal, but they also thought it was fun for Bent to score with his ass.

Zhang Yang thought of Bent's talent - shooting!

'Potential recognition' ability to see that Bent has only one talent - shooting, in fact, compared to other top strikers, Bent has no other characteristics, his speed is fast, but the speed of top strikers is fast, his skills are excellent, he can become a top striker, and his skills must be very good, so the only outstanding point of Bent, that is, the shooting talent that is difficult to detect, he can be said to be a natural shooter.

There is also a difference in the talent of the shooter.

For example, Josh Simpson has a talent for being able to have a keen sense of smell in front of goal, like a person's sixth sense, and he subconsciously feels that there may be an opportunity somewhere.

Bente's talent is his ability to shoot very well, and he can shoot in a variety of positions with fantastic movements.

The goals now prove it.

While Zhang Yang's mind was analyzing the goal, he had to praise his 'prediction' ability, the last time against AC Milan, Bent was affected by the 'walking the word', and his form became very good, so he stepped on the ball through the crotch goal.

At that time, Zhang Yang wanted to reduce the number of times he used 'words and words' for Bente, because when Bente's state broke out, it was easy to attract the opponent's hatred value, and Bente was responsible for a large part of the brawl and conflict with AC Milan.

Zhang Yang did not pursue it.

At that point, there's no way to say who's right and who's wrong.

Now the prophecy has come true.

Zhang Yang didn't use 'words and words' for Bent, he spontaneously completed the 'ass goal'.

Zhang Yang felt helpless.

Although Bent had no choice but to use his ass to score the ball, it was too much of a coincidence. This hatred attracted, and it is estimated that the Chelsea players all remembered him.

Maybe Chelsea fans don't care.

For Chelsea fans, it doesn't matter how the goal happens, they care more about the score on the field, and the fans who came to Athens with the team must want to see the team win the championship, but before the first half was over, they were two goals down, which was really a bit unacceptable.

In the past, it was the Premier League, and Chelsea were repeatedly unable to beat Millwall.

Now that it's the Champions League final, the tournament is different, the venue is different, Chelsea should have a chance, right?

Even if it is a draw and a penalty shoot-out at the end, it gives people hope of winning, but after scoring two goals in the first half, can Chelsea really catch up?

The fighting spirit and confidence before the game seem to have disappeared with the goal.

The Chelsea fans in the crowd became much more silent, not wanting to accept the fact that Chelsea were two goals behind.

Many fans have also begun to complain about the team.

In the eyes of Chelsea fans, Chelsea is not weaker than Millwall, the club's president Abramovich invests hundreds of millions of euros in the purchase of stars every season, and their stars are too many to count, much stronger than Millwall's squad, but against Millwall, every time is a failure, every time is a loss.

This is unacceptable.

Chelsea club president Roman Abramovich is exactly the same as the Chelsea fans, he has a large number of supporters, but he has no intention of thinking about the fans, his face is cold and frightening, and he wants to leave the stadium early.

It was 2-0 in the first half, how did the game play?

In a few seasons, hundreds of millions of pounds of investment are enough to buy another top giant club, but now, Chelsea has won the championship, all that can be said is only one league title, and finally reached the final of the Champions League.

Abramovich couldn't help but look at Millwall's coaching box, he had been very optimistic about Zhang Yang before, thinking that Zhang Yang's coaching was more suitable for Chelsea.

Now he is more convinced.

"Zhang Yang!"

Abramovich sighed quietly, he felt that he should take the initiative and solicit with the greatest sincerity, maybe Zhang Yang changed his mind and planned to join Chelsea?

The goal was being replayed on the TV, and when the slow-motion was over, the camera shifted to Bent.

Bent was a little embarrassed to celebrate the goal in the 'friendly' mockery of his teammates, he didn't know if he should be excited or what, because he felt a little funny, and at that time there was just no way but to rub the ball in with his butt.

After a brief celebration, Bent did not make a celebratory gesture, his left and right hands stretched out his index finger and middle finger respectively, and then crossed together to form a 'tic-tac-toe'.

Bent did this action, which immediately attracted the camera's attention.

This time, there is no need to guess at all, they all understand what Bent meant, just now he scored a goal, it was a cross of the index finger, and now he has scored two goals, that is, the index finger and the middle finger are crossed together.

The meaning of Bent is too obvious!

"I'm in the second one!"

If you score five goals, won't you just be able to slap the face?

That's interesting.

Zhang Yang thought it was very creative, and there were similar ways to celebrate, but it was rare to express it so clearly and directly, and Bent was completely 'counting' with everyone and letting them know how many goals he had scored.

Well, it's creative, too.

Lineker, the British BBC radio commentator, was embarrassed, he swore to analyze the meaning of Bent's crisscross action, and now it is equivalent to a direct slap in the face, he can only murmur the wrong topic, "Bent's action is very interesting......

And then, there was no more.

Chelsea felt very unhappy, they were scored two goals in one half, and the opponent was still there 'counting the goals', but they didn't take Chelsea seriously at all.

Quite a few players were outraged.

After the game restarted, the Chelsea players defended much more tightly against Bente, and as soon as Bent received the ball from outside the box, it could be a flying tackle.

Fortunately, Bent has been off the ball for most of the time, he is the only striker in the team, and receiving a pass means threatening the Chelsea goal, and Chelsea will not be able to let Bent receive the ball easily.

The next time was short.

The fourth official raised a sign to announce two minutes of stoppage time, and the two teams suddenly played two waves of attack and defense, and the time was almost over, and the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half as Zambrotta kicked the ball off the field.

Both teams had a short break to adjust.

————

After the end of the first half, the media and fans were discussing the game, and many people couldn't believe the score, and Millwall actually led by two goals.

If it's an ordinary league, any team will have mistakes, there will be good performances and bad performances, no one can expect a team to perform well forever, and it is a common occurrence for the giants to lose to promoted horses in the league.

But this is the Champions League final!

Any team will become very cautious when it encounters this kind of competition, they will prepare in advance, spend a long time to do training for it, and they will become very cautious during the game, often in the final stage, the teams that are good at attacking will do a good job of defense, and there are occasional big scores, such as the 2005 Champions League final, AC Milan scored three goals in half time, provided that the gap between the two sides is relatively large.

Liverpool was unanimously not favored that year, and they were full of ups and downs all the way to the final, both in terms of lineup and record, which were very different from their opponent AC Milan.

This game is different.

From a squad perspective, Chelsea have the upper hand.

Although Carvalho, Shepchenko and other players are injured and cannot play, the impact on Chelsea is not as big as imagined, Millwall's squad is already at a disadvantage, Livermore, Braniff two core players are also suspended, and it is difficult to compare with Chelsea in the lineup.

Even when you take into account the results of both sides, Chelsea are not much worse than Millwall, who have always been strong contenders for the league title, as well as the English and European titles.

Chelsea are a top team and no team can say they are better than them.

From both angles, there is no reason for the game to play like this.

When the players from both teams returned to the dressing room, the media and fans were discussing the scoreline, discussing that Darren Bent had scored two goals.

The media commentators analysed the stats and analysed the form of the first half, and found that Millwall did not have the advantage, but Chelsea had a slight advantage.

What is the reason why Millwall can score?

"Frontcourt efficiency!"

Lineker said of the key words, "Millwall are more efficient than Chelsea. Chelsea's goalscorer Didier Drogba has scored a lot of goals, but his ability to catch chances in front of goal is not as good as Bent. ”

'There weren't many chances in the first half, he had four shots on goal and scored two goals, so the efficiency was enough to prove that Bent was so good, he was the kind of player who can score when he gets the chance!'

'Chelsea had eleven shots on goal and hit the woodwork just three times, while Millwall had nine shots, four of them and scored two goals.

"That's the difference in efficiency up front!"
