Now the choice in front of Mourinho is whether to attack or continue to defend, and it has entered the halftime break, and the first half also with Lin Dong's goal, Atletico temporarily led 1:0.

In the time that followed Lin Dong's goal, Atletico opened a familiar pattern, and when the team took the lead, Atletico immediately started a defensive counterattack.

But the result did not let Atletico Madrid get their wish, when Atletico Madrid turned on the defensive counter-attack mode, the opposite Chelsea did not cooperate with the performance, and did not rush because of the least.

This is the first time Atletico have encountered this situation, but Simeone was not slow to react and immediately signaled the players to follow the arranged tactics.

As a result, the rest of the first half became extremely dull, as neither side had any attacking ideas, and Chelsea and Atletico fans were not unhappy about it.

Chelsea started with this, Chelsea was able to change from a strong man to a giant Mourinho so quickly, as for Atletico Madrid, now in the hearts of everyone Atletico Madrid, winning the game and reaching the final is the most important thing, the game process? As long as you can win, you won't care no matter how ugly it is.

Compared with Mourinho's hesitation between attack and defense, Simeone on Atletico Madrid's side does not have such troubles, defense is fundamental, scoring goals is a surprise, and everyone knows the importance of away goals, so Simeone actually wishes that Chelsea could continue to defend.

Fifteen minutes passed quickly, and when the players from both sides returned to the pitch, Simeone was visibly relieved because he knew that Chelsea's tactics had not changed, Mourinho was still seeking stability, and there had been no change in the players on the pitch.

As the second half began, the fans on both sides were enthusiastic again, but the enthusiasm did not last long, because the game on the field was a little dull.

In the 50th minute, it took a full five minutes of the second half to finish the first shot of the second half, a throw-in from Chelsea, Cesar Azpilicueta tossed the ball to Frank Lampard, who chested the ball and blasted a long-range shot that Courtois made a beautiful save to get into the pocket with both hands.

It's Courtois' chance to prove himself, he's still a Chelsea player and if he doesn't want to leave Chelsea, then Cech is a mountain he has to climb.

Petr Cech has been the best goalkeeper in the world for the past decade, and even though he has been battered, he has been strong enough to return to the pitch and still have a world-class level.

So it's a very important game for Courtois, it's his chance to prove himself to Chelsea, to Jose Mourinho, it's his chance to challenge Chelsea's starting goalkeeper next season.

Of course, Courtois also has a big advantage over Cech, who is 32 years old, and although a goalkeeper at this age can still maintain a very high level, especially a goalkeeper of the type of Cech, Cech's injury has said it all.

Petr Cech is still in world-class form, but his fitness has already started to decline, not to mention the fact that he has suffered a lot before.

Still five minutes at centre-back, Courtois made a world-class save, and Ashley Cole's cross, although Ashley Cole's form has not been as good as before, but this time the insertion is still outstanding.

Seizing Juanfrán's negligence, he took advantage of his speed to go down and cut cross-cutting to deliver a low pass, and Torres was quite clever in his run, shaking off Miranda and rushing to the goal, and firing a shot.

However, a close-range effort was not enough to help Chelsea turn things around, as Courtois flew to the end of the line with his fist to keep the ball out of the line, and it was also the best chance of the game for Chelsea, before he went away from the ensuing corner and confiscated the ball.

Chelsea have achieved little in attack, and Atletico are actually similar, although Atletico's attack is much better than Chelsea's, but God was not on Atletico's side in the second half.

In the 67th minute, Diego completed a long-range shot under the cover of Lin Dong and Raul Garcia, which was of a very high level, but the old goalkeeper who came on as a substitute proved that he was not old with a world-class save and forced Diego's long-range shot that went straight to the dead corner.

In the 72nd minute, Raul Garcia had a good header and Felipe had a wonderful assist in the first half, which also stimulated Juanfran on the other side.

Raul Garcia's header came from Juanfran on the wing, Ashley Cole is indeed old, he used to be extremely fast, he was beaten by Juanfran with his speed, Juanfran combined with Thiago, the latter sent the ball behind him, Juanfran used his speed to catch the ball and complete the pass.

However, Raul Garcia's header was not on target, and Atletico missed the chance to extend their lead, which was also Raul Garcia's last chance of the game, as defender Simeone made a counter-change after two minutes, with Costa replacing Raul Garcia.

Simeone's substitution really surprised Mourinho on the other side, after all, it is Atletico Madrid who is leading now, and according to Simeone's substitution, it seems that he is not satisfied with this lead.

But even so, Mourinho remained unmoved, but soon, the unmoved Mourinho moved because Chelsea had another injury.

And the result is that Costa, who came on as a substitute, was still in a scramble, Costa collided with Chelsea captain John Terry, and then the Chelsea captain couldn't afford it.

"Damn it~~~" Mourinho suddenly scolded when he saw this, because there were no defenders on the bench, no, there was also a teenager Thomas Callas, but in this case, Mourinho could not arrange for this youngster to appear.

Oscar came on to replace John Terry, David Luiz moved back to central defender, although he was replaced by an attacking player, but Chelsea were still defensive and Oscar's appearance was only to increase Chelsea's control of the ball.

In the following time, Atletico Madrid still played the initiative, but the active Atletico Madrid still failed to change the score on the field, and the shots of Costa and Lin Dong were always a little bit away from the goal.

On the sidelines, Mourinho fell into deep thought, watching Atletico Madrid's successive attacks fail, Mourinho finally found his serious mistake.

He attaches too much importance to Lin Dong, indeed, Lin Dong is a perfect center, but no matter how perfect a center is, it is impossible to have a perfect performance in the game.

However, it was too late for Mourinho to realise the problem as the game was about to end
