Chapter 361: Lore in Adversity

Kodic turned and walked straight to the dressing room, clearly unhappy with the performance of his players in the first half.

The Chelsea players also walked back with a depressed face, knowing that there was a storm waiting for them in the dressing room, while the Arsenal players over there were beaming. ”

As soon as Costa entered the locker room, he kept his head down, not daring to look at the figure standing in front of the tactical board, they were all waiting for the coach's fury.

Seeing that the team members all had this expression, Kodic also laughed angrily: "Look at what you have become now?" Are we losing now? The game is just past the first half? Do you still want to win this game and go to the League Cup final? "Kodic asked one question after another.

"yes, the game is not over yet, we are only two goals behind, we are now the first in the league, and we have not tasted defeat in the new season, are we two goals behind?" Azpilicueta stood up and said.

Kodic looked at Azpilicueta and smiled in his heart, and then said with a straight face: "In the second half, Segura and Ballack came on. Replace Moses and Pedro! ”

……………………

At the start of the second half, Chelsea began to attack frantically, and Arsenal began to play defensive counter-attacks, Wenger made up his mind to play the second half with Chelsea, and the scene was deadlocked.

However, Chelsea are now furious, and the football was quickly tackled by Chelsea, and then a blue whirlwind blew on the pitch! In the 9th minute of the second half, Chelsea attacked from the left, Bakayoko crossed diagonally into the penalty area, Barkley leaned on the opponent's central defender, stopped the football, and then there was a blast!

The ball flew towards the right-hand post and was so fast that Ospina had no time to react, and just when the Chelsea fans thought they were going to score their first goal of the game, the Arsenal post denied it and the ball bounced off the line.

"Come again!" Ross Barkley let out a long roar in the sky, it was his first Chelsea game and he naturally wanted to put in a good performance.

Chelsea fans cheered their players loudly in the stands: 'You can do it!' ”

The away fans applauded loudly for this wonderful combination, and in the second half, there was another great chance to score, and the unmarked Segura took a deep breath and ran quickly towards the football.

Segura wasn't very fast, he was quickly adjusting his pace to get a direct shot, and Ospina was quick to get the ball on the ball, trying to widen his range and compress the space for Segura's shot.

It was undoubtedly the right choice, and as the distance between the two men grew closer, the air in the stadium became tense once again.

Segura finally got the shot on goal, it was a burst of shots, Ospina dropped his center of gravity, he made a save, and his left arm was fast towards the ball.

However, the ball was very fast, Ospina was a little late, and the ball passed under Ospina's armpit and flew into the net behind him!

The ball is in! The score became 2-1!

"Ahh …… Chelsea! …… Segura ...... "The Chelsea fans in the stands also shouted loudly.

"Ball...... Entered! …… Chelsea pulled a goal back in the 16th minute of the second half! The Chelsea commentator yelled excitedly......

In the 16th minute of the second half, Segura's brilliant blast broke through the goal to make it 2-1, and after scoring this goal, Chelsea did not slow down the pace of attack, but became more and more violent, and soon Chelsea launched a fierce attack again.

Rudiger ran wildly with the ball from the back, then came to the edge of the box, he quickly passed the ball straight out, passed the ball into the box, Costa took the ball with his back in the box, and then quickly turned around and hit the goal with his right foot, but the ball was too far away, and Arsenal escaped.

One minute into the attack, Chelsea attacked again, with Tiemoue Bakayoko flicking past a one-on-one defender before latching the ball straight into the box.

Everyone in the penalty area was nervously arguing for the point, but no one noticed Barkley who was following behind, Barkley rushed into the penalty area and came directly with a volley, and the football flew directly to the goal, but the football flew high out of the bottom line.

Seeing Chelsea's onslaught to pull a goal back, Wenger was also a little anxious, he was in a hurry to replace No. 31 defender Kolasinac, No. 17 Iwobi, but this did not have any obvious effect, it didn't take long for Alonso to get a chance outside the box, he shot directly outside the box.

Ospina made a quick save, completely blocked the goal, Alonso's shot was saved by Espina, and Arsene Wenger replaced a striker with a defender, Kodic made the last move, replacing Willian with Michy Batshuayi, and it was this substitution that allowed Chelsea to score again very quickly.

After Pedro received the ball, he handed the ball back, ready to slow down the attack, and Arsenal also relaxed, but Barkley, who received the ball, did not have this intention, he received the ball, took the ball, and then shot directly at the goal from 35 meters away, the ball flew quickly to the Arsenal goal, and flew into the upper right corner of the goal in Ospina's surprised gaze.

2-2, Chelsea equalized the score with two long-range shots, the commentator on the scene didn't know what to say, this game was really full of twists and turns, he and the fans on the scene had an idea, that is, today's ticket is worth it, if there is such a good game in the future!

'Oh......' It was Barkley's turn to roar into the sky, and on his first appearance at Chelsea, he scored the equaliser, and Barkley quickly ran to the sideline and hugged Kodic.

At this time, the game was 85 minutes into the game, and the whole stadium erupted in huge cheers.

"The ball is in! 2 to 2! We equalized at the last moment, and now it's not certain who will die, but I guess the mood of many fans now, as nervous as me, can we get a ticket to the final! 'The Chelsea commentator couldn't have been more excited.

In this game, the tactics of Chelsea away are very clear, that is, to win, they did not hope for a draw, because this is the second game, and the winner must be divided, and now Arsenal wants to drag into extra time and compete for physical strength, Chelsea has been in the initiative in the second half of the game, but in the face of Arsenal's current turtle defense, there are no too good scoring opportunities.

Finally, with 89 minutes played, Chelsea capitalised on a set-piece when Costa stabbed home the golden winner in a scuffle in front of goal.

Costa was unusually excited after the goal, he rushed to the side of the stands, took off his shirt as he ran, and shouted loudly in his mouth, this time, he was too depressed, the team after Jones injury, tasted two consecutive draws after the win, made him criticized by the media.

Jones and several main players did not play in this key game, if they lost this game, I am afraid that they will feel that they are not suitable for this team, and now finally in the last moments of the game, scored this goal and beat Arsenal.
