Olympic Stadium, Athens.

In the 63rd minute of the match between Millwall and Chelsea, the score became 2-1.

Millwall's lead was cut to one goal and Wes Morgan's own goal gave Chelsea hope of levelling.

Chelsea fans cheered wildly.

It was a whole game of emotion, and from the first minute to the first minute, they didn't see much hope, with Chelsea having a lackluster first half and a slightly better second, already two goals behind.

Now they can finally shout out.

When Chelsea caught up with a goal, the scoreline was immediately different, as it only took one more goal to equalise the scoreline.

Chelsea's morale is shocking!

Many Chelsea fans were looking forward to the next development: Chelsea equalised, continued to score to complete the comeback, or the game dragged on to a penalty shoot-out, where Chelsea beat Millwall to top the Champions League.

That's the regular pattern of classic wars.

Mourinho was a little relieved when he saw Chelsea score, and although there was still one goal to go, there was hope.

On the rostrum.

Abramovich's face also improved again, he nodded to Wilkinson with a smile on his face, turned his head to look at the Chelsea fans who were celebrating excitedly, and did the same as the fans, waving his hands high and vigorously forward, as if he had become a normal fan.

The camera caught this scene.

British BBC commentator Lineker also gossiped, "We can see that the chairman of Chelsea, Mr. Abramovich, is here to watch the game alone. Last year, when he had this kind of big game, he would appear in the stands with his wife. They are always together. ”

According to rumors, Mr. Abramovich and the famous Russian model Zhukova have been very close recently, and probably because of this, there has been a rift in the relationship with Yelena, and they are getting divorced again. This incident probably bothered him a lot. In the event of a divorce under English law, he would need to divide nearly $10 billion to his wife. But he was a Russian, and according to Russian law, his losses were much smaller. ”

"Daria Zhukova, as a third party in scandal, is a peerless beauty coveted by countless Russian men, with a strong temperament after graduating from higher education, and her father Alexander Zhukova is an oil, metal and banking tycoon......"

Abramovich's love life has become a spice gossip for fans in front of the TV after watching the game.

The game soon restarted.

The attention of the fans was drawn to the playing field again.

Millwall dugout.

Zhang Yang got up and stood up, and paced to the sidelines, as if he was relaxing, he was indeed a little tired from sitting down, but now was not the time to relax.

Chelsea's goal was a bit of a bit of luck, in fact, normal things can happen, the goal picture appeared in the perspective of 'foreknowledge', but it was scored by Drogba, Zhang Yang temporarily gave Graham a 'lucky blessing', the effect was very good, Graham blocked the ball with his body, but unfortunately, the football hit Wes Morgan's calf and bounced back into the goal.

In this regard, Zhang Yang was very helpless.

This is the result of 'changing the future', as long as it changes a little, the future will be completed and will change, instead of following a predetermined trajectory, anything can happen, and everything is out of control.

This is also the limitation of supernatural abilities such as 'Lucky Blessing' and 'Word of Words'.

After the restart, Zhang Yang used his 'foreknowledge' to get a sense of what was going to come, with Chelsea attacking fiercely but failing to find the Millwall goal within five minutes.

Although there are no goals, it does not mean that it is safe.

Millwall were very suppressed, goals could happen at any time, maybe in five minutes, it would not be easy to do anything at that time, and in addition, Millwall did not make a threatening counterattack in the next five minutes.

This situation is too passive.

Millwall's stiflation was the reason for the overall performance and also related to the performance of individual players, with some players getting worse in the second half because they were running less.

That's not not not trying, it's physical limitations.

One of the representative is Smitchell, who performed very well in the first half, but in the second half, his physical fitness was a little unable to keep up, and the running time on the field was reduced, which also made the midfield's defense a little sparse.

Zhang Yang decided to make adjustments.

If the game continues like this, the outcome will really be blocked by luck, he doesn't like everything to get out of control, and he has to make adjustments.

Zhang Yang glanced at the bench, and finally locked his eyes on a veteran--

Harman.

————

"Dietmar, go warm up and get ready to play!"

Hamann was a little unresponsive for a moment when he heard the shouts, and he was probably the most marginal player in the entire Millwall team.

Last summer, Hamann moved to Millwall on a free transfer from Liverpool and signed a one-year contract, but due to injuries at the beginning of the season and a bit of age, he failed to break out at Millwall like Smitchell and Pire, but became the most marginal player, making only six appearances for the team this season, and all six of them were substitute appearances.

In this Champions League final, Hamann can enter the squad because Braniff and Livermore are banned and vacate the substitute position, otherwise he will definitely not be able to enter the list.

Hamann didn't expect to play either.

Millwall has a lot of good youngsters on the bench, such as Simpson and Barragan, but in comparison, he has a lot of experience and relatively good skills, and his energy is far less than that.

Now Zhang Yang has him ready to play, which is very unexpected by Hamann.

Harman was still pleased.

Although he is approaching the age of retirement, he has not retired after all, and the Champions League final is the most important competition for European clubs, and even if he can come on as a substitute for a minute, it will leave a deep memory.

Hamann immediately walked to the side to warm up, he seemed to be rejuvenated and couldn't wait to get on the field to fight.

When Haman was warming up, Zhang Yang looked at the playing field and was also thinking carefully.

The current situation is very unfavorable, the reason is still the problem of the back, Sean Davis's running can not cover too much range, and his defensive ability can not catch up with Livermore, replacing Hamann is for defensive considerations, so that Haman and Davis form a double back, covering a larger range of defense, and can also form a solid defensive line at the front of the penalty area.

This is actually a helpless choice.

Millwall has just a few players in the midfield, with four players on the field, plus the suspended Livermore, Braniff, and a Simpsons who can play all positions and has a surprisingly poor defensive ability, and the only thing left is Hamann.

Now that the team needs to defend, replacing Simpson is not a good option and may give a signal to others that the team is going to step up the offense.

Of course not.

So the only option is only Hamann, Zhang Yang is not worried about Hamann's appearance, Hamann is a veteran, it is difficult to stand out defensively, but he can have a stable performance, and he is much better than Smitchell, who is a little overdrawn.

In a word, no matter how bad it is, it's better than no substitution!

————

After Hamann came on the pitch, the game didn't change much.

Chelsea still have the initiative in attack, but Millwall have a double midfielder who makes it a little more difficult to break down the edge of the box.

However, Chelsea continued to press Millwall and remained in control, and the cheers from the crowd also gave the players on the pitch a lot of fighting spirit, and they put on the momentum to win the game in one fell swoop.

Millwall played against a constricted defence, looking for opportunities to play a wave of fast attacks whenever they got the ball, but because the formation was very deep, it was often difficult for the attack to play too well.

Zhang Yang looked at the game on the field and thought carefully.

When the game was in progress, it was rare to see Zhang Yang frowning and thinking, and the camera lens was frequently pointed over, and some media immediately pointed out, "Millwall is very unfavorable, and Zhang Yang also realized that he was worried about the game." ”

'If it goes on like this, it's normal for Chelsea to tie or even overtake the scoreline.'

It's really about the players.

Millwall had a brilliant first half, overpowering Chelsea with a sheer performance, and now it's the other way around, with Chelsea doing quite well, their aggressiveness and attacking intensity, and Millwall had to kick off the ball to get a respite.

The situation of the game has Millwall fans starting to worry.

At this point, Zhang Yang made another move, he asked Vardy to do a warm-up and prepare for the game, and two minutes later, Millwall made a substitution -

Vardy up, Pire down.

'Vardy for Pire? Is Zhang Yang planning to intensify the offensive? Lineker, the BBC TV commentator, was surprised by the adjustment, "What do you do with a striker now?" Jamie Vardy could play on the left flank, but he will struggle to contribute to the defence and should be replaced by a defensively good winger if he chooses to replace Pire. ”

Many people are puzzled.

"Vardy came out, it was probably to strengthen the attack, but maybe it was just a normal substitution, Pire, like Smitchell, was a little unable to run, and it was difficult to play a role in the attack when he participated in the defense, so it was a normal decision to replace him at this time."

'Jamie Vardy is a young striker, he's in the same position as Bent and can be said to be Bent's understudy, but he's been outstanding, finishing in the top 10 of the league scorers' charts, scoring four goals in the Champions League, and it's worth mentioning that in the Champions League semi-finals between Millwall and AC Milan, Vardy was quite impressive, scoring two goals in the first leg.

"According to Vardy's performance, he even has a chance to be in the England national team, because his performance in the league and the Champions League can be compared to Wayne Rooney, and then it will be very interesting, England will have a number one striker, a number two striker, all from one team. Provided, of course, that McLaren reuses Millwall's players. For now, at least, Wayne Rooney remains England's leading striker......"

————

Before Vardy was on the pitch, the substitution options had already been analysed.

Some media guessed right.

Zhang Yang put Vardy on the field in order to increase the counter-offensive ability.

It's hard to say what level Vardy's defense is, there aren't many opportunities for a striker to get involved in defence, and before Vardy came out, Zhang Yang said to him, "You have to be involved in defense. But your most important job is to help the team play a counter-attack! ”

"As long as you get the ball, you keep moving forward, it doesn't matter if it's in the middle or on the wing, as long as you have the ball, you keep rushing forward, go to the front and find opportunities to cooperate with Darren, or find opportunities yourself, it's up to you."

"I need you to put pressure on the other team."

"Got it?"

That's where Jamie Vardy comes in.

Jamie Vardy is very fast, he's one of those guys who gets the ball forward and then chases it fast, and he's a good dribble, but mostly with speed.

When it comes to counter-attacking, Jamie Vardy is the most suitable player.

The current situation is that Bent has not been able to get the ball in front for a long time, and the central players are very backward in defense, so it is difficult to control the ball in front, and it is too difficult to rely on luck to find opportunities with a big kick alone.

Millwall were already suppressed, they didn't have many chances to get on the ball, and if they wasted many chances, Chelsea wouldn't have even the slightest defensive pressure.

If this continues, the situation is too dangerous for Chelsea to go on the offensive unchecked.

Zhang Yang hopes Vardy can make a difference.

But......

"Don't worry! Top dog! The game will definitely be won! Even if I lose the Champions League, I will stay in the team! Before Vardy came on the field, he said quite excitedly, which made Zhang Yang question the choice of substitution adjustment.

What the hell is this guy thinking?

Can he really do it?

————

Zhang Yang didn't expect that Vardy's appearance would play a key role.

When Vardy played, he was still conservative with the media's doubts, and Zhang Yang's heart was also full of uncertainty, but Vardy used his performance to let Millwall open a breakthrough in attack.

Millwall's situation was very passive, but the defense was not bad, but the attack was a little unplayable, and after Vardy came out, he rushed forward desperately when he got the ball.

Chelsea didn't care much at first, after all, he was just a freshman and he was a bit more physical than the players on the pitch and it was normal for him to be able to dribble the ball, but Jamie Vardy was very fast and when he was rushing with the ball, it wasn't easy for defenders to intercept.

For the first time, Jamie Vardy sprinted across the halfway line from the back and sent in a high ball, but Bent didn't get it in front of him.

The second time, Vardy rushed more than 30 meters and an anti-aircraft gun came from the edge of the box.

The third time, the midline was tackled.

On the fourth occasion, Jamie Vardy dribbled the ball from the halfway line down the left flank and into the box with his left foot, where Bent almost made the mark.

After several consecutive impacts, Chelsea also had to pay attention, because Vardy alone and threatening even caught up with the whole Chelsea, so that Vardy could break through the Chelsea goal again and again.

It wasn't until Chelsea realised they should keep an eye on Jamie Vardy that they realized there was nothing they could do.

Millwall made it clear that it was to play defensive counterattacks, and did not take the initiative to give up the attack at all, most of the players have been nesting in the backfield to defend, Chelsea is behind the score, and must launch an active offensive, pay attention to the backcourt defense, and definitely slow down the offensive.

But is it possible?

If the offensive is slowed down, it means that the probability of scoring is low, and the consequence of not being able to break Millwall's goal is to lose.

It's also unrealistic to find a player who specializes in marking, Vardy is still involved in defense, he has been staying in his own half, it is impossible for the backfield players to go up to follow Vardy, Vardy's running is also very irregular, he is not staying on the side as usual, but the middle and the side are constantly running, just like letting the player defend the opponent's back, it is meaningless, only the opponent takes the ball to his own half, so it is good to limit the defense.

The limitations of the defence are evident.

If it's defending in their own half, when they want to defend, the opponent has already rushed up, and they can only intercept the nearby players, or that problem, they are taking the initiative to attack, and it is impossible to keep too many players at the back, and Terry has to defend Darren Bent, so he can only let the other central defender Bora Luz pay attention.

The Dutchman, can he do it?

This is where Chelsea are weak.

Millwall's weakness is in the midfield, Livermore and Braniff were suspended, and the impact was still very large, so that the midfield was not even available, and the veteran Hamann had to play, and the replacement of Pire also became striker Vardy.

With several Chelsea players injured and a stretched backline, Jose Mourinho couldn't find a suitable player to replace Bolaruz, who stayed on the pitch even if he didn't perform well.

"Let's hope he can stop Vardy!"

Mourinho thought.

Now we can only pin on Bora Luz to perform, compared to the two, Bolaruz has more experience, and the age is better than Vardy, and there is still calm.

Mourinho soon regretted it!

In the 77th minute, Vardy received another pass from Morris, frantically led forward from the wing, and after passing Mikel, who was unable to catch up, he rushed diagonally towards the goal.

Bora Ruz came to intercept.

The position where the two met, twenty meters away from the halfline, and more than ten meters back to the penalty line, Bolaruz faced Vardy, but by the time he realized that the opponent was very fast, it was already too late, Vardy only changed direction, took the ball forward, and then opened his legs to chase frantically, Bolaruz was immediately left behind, and he wanted to chase back completely too late.

After crossing Bora Luz, there was an empty space in front of Jamie Vardy, with just two players laterally, team-mate Darren Bent and Chelsea centre-back John Terry.

By the time Vardy raced past Borlaruz, there was already a frantic cheer in the crowd, with every Millwall fan chanting, eager to see the team's counter-attack and even more desperate to see the goal come in.

Amid the many cheers, Vardy continued with great momentum.

John Terry had to give up his mark on Bent and pounce on Jamie Vardy instead, and he was also very fast, running diagonally past and on the line of the box, without hesitation to make a flying tackle.

Everyone knew it was a tactical foul.

The referee was ready to blow the whistle to stop the game, and Vardy also swung his right foot, as if intending to shoot, but the next moment he realized that the shot would be blocked, and instantly changed his mind, changed his shot to a push, and gently moved the ball forward, and then stepped on the ground with his right foot and jumped hard, jumping over Terry.

"Hula......"

The arena was jubilant!

Jamie Vardy dribbled into the box.

At this point, there was no choice, Jamie Vardy had already faced goalkeeper Petr Cech, and the pass was sure to be offside.

Jamie Vardy fought back his excitement and glanced at the goal to find out how to shoot, feeling everything was under control, and after slowing down slightly to keep up with the ball, he swung his right foot hard.

"Bang!"

The collision between the foot and the football made a dull sound, and the football also completed its elastic deformation in an instant, randomly flew up from the grass, and rushed towards the goal at high speed.

Everyone was staring at the ball.

"Vardy—"

BBC commentator Lineker elongated his voice.

Goalkeeper Petr Cech rushed out of the goal, he was only five metres away from Vardy, he had already blocked most of the angle, the moment Vardy shot the goal, he opened his arms to block more routes, but the ball rushed past his ears.

The only reaction was for Cech to turn his head and watch the ball hit the crossbar and then down—

Bounce into the goal!

"Vardy—"

“Goooooooooooooooal！！！！！”

The shouting of the narrator became the only tone on the television, with the Olympic Stadium in the background, the wildest cheers since the opening.
