Chapter 241: Sudden Change in Wind and Cloud (Broken Tone Dog)
Chelsea's dressing room.
Coach Antonio Conte was holding back his anger, but he didn't know who to vent to.
The goal conceded in the first half was not due to a mistake by a defender. It's just because that old lieutenant of Huaguo is too demonic.
There were a couple of good chances up front, and most of the reason was probably the damn rain.
The Chelsea dressing room was demoralized. The small ball club from the fourth division broke through its door. Even if they were to win the final victory, it would be a great shame.
On the other hand, morale is high in the dressing room in Coventry!
In a sense, no matter what the outcome of the game, it is a miracle in itself to be able to break through the door of Chelsea, the number one giant in the Premier League!
You know, Chelsea is the main force in this game!
Old George was very satisfied with the performance of his disciples. He habitually put the cigar in front of his nose and sniffed greedily: "The second half of the game is about to begin." I don't have much to say. Remember, the Lord is with you! β
Liu Yun is not religious, he only believes that as long as his teammates do their best, it will be possible to create a miracle in the second half.
"Fa Lang Sports, Fa Lang Sports. Audience friends in front of the screen. Welcome to the FA Cup final, the second half of Coventry City vs Chelsea. The first half was a 1-1 draw. The second half of the game is about to begin. Song Shixiong explained in his special voice.
The second half of the game begins!
Chelsea's stars don't seem to be able to tolerate a draw with League Two sides. They started with a big attack.
In the 51st minute, Hazard instigated an attack in the middle and he distributed the ball to Pedro on the wing.
The Sabres dribbled beautifully down the flanks past a Coventry City defender. He then dribbled the ball forward on the flanks and took it directly to the baseline.
Cross to the middle lane!
Costa leaps high and heads home!
The ball hit goalkeeper Ruan's leg and bounced into the box.
Hazard in the box with an assist at high speed meets the ball and shoots furiously! The ball hits the crossbar!
The ball bounces off Alonso in the box. Golden opportunity! Alonso catches the ball and shoots! The ball hit the right post of the goal. This time the ball bounced to the edge of the box.
Nemanja Matic, who was ambushed at the edge of the penalty area, shot directly from a distance! The ball went over the crossbar and off the baseline.
In the space of seconds, Chelsea had four shots on goal. And every shot threatens the door of Coventry! However, luck was not on the side of the strong. Once for the beam, once for the goalpostγγγγγγ The gates of Coventry seem to be possessed by a spirit!
The Chelsea fans in the stadium straightened up. The moment the ball flew off the baseline, they sat back in their seats in frustration.
George Sr. broke out in a cold sweat in the coach's seat. When Ruan kicked the goal, he thought to himself, is God really on the side of Coventry? Bless the lads of the Coventry team?
Such a good opportunity was not taken and it seriously affected the confidence of the Chelsea players. Since then, the Coventry City goal has seemed to be an insurmountable barrier. The superstars were firmly in control of the situation on the court, and they played exquisite combinations again and again, but always went wrong on the last kick. Either it's a shot on goal or Coventry goalkeeper Ruan hangs upγγγγγ
The game was already in the 68th minute.
Antonio Conte was secretly anxious off the pitch. If it goes on like this, will it be dragged into extra time by the underdog Coventry? In the FA Cup final, if the 90-minute draw is drawn, extra time will be played. If extra-time is also a draw, it will go to a brutal penalty shootout.
If he is really dragged into extra-time by the weak teams of League Two, Conte, the manager, will really lose face.
Conte snapped his nostrils and made a bold decision. He replaced Costa without shooting boots in this game and replaced it with the 93-year-old Michy Batshuayi.
Michy Batshuayi is a promising Belgian goblin. The ball is superb, whether it is dribbling or speed, it has the potential of a superstar. His only drawback is his lack of tournament experience.
Conte can't stand Costa's wasted chances again and again. Letting Michy Batshuayi play was a desperate move.
The substitutions are complete and the game continues.
It has to be said that Batshuayi's performance after coming on the field was really impressive. He was impressive on the right flank, with several breakaways and dangerous crosses.
However, neither Alonso's volley nor Hazard's far-corner shot was unlucky. The ball slid out again and again.
The game was already in the 75th minute.
Coventry attacked, and Qu Bai won the ball on the side. Azpilicueta appeared in front of him.
The 18-year-old Qu Bai was still a little stunned when he met Chelsea's defensive superstar. Suddenly, he thought of his idol Liu Yun. Since Uncle Liu Yun dared to make moves past Matic and Cahill, why didn't he dare to face Azpilicueta?
Thinking of this, "Son of the Wind" Qu Bai took a trip forward and started!
Son of the Wind, run!
Qu Bai used his excellent speed to break through Azpilicueta's defense! However, Chelsea's defensive system lives up to its name. Cahill stepped up to the flank and slid the ball off the line with a sliding tackle.
Song Shixiong explained: "Qu Bai, an eighteen-year-old player from Huaguo, used his speed to break through Azpilicueta. This is a promising youngster. β
Huang Jianxiang continued: "Yes, although his breakthrough was finally ended by Cahill, but he dared to fight Azpilicueta for speed, which shows that the experience of half a season in League Two has given him strong self-confidence. β
Liu Jianhong added: "Yes, it is said that the power of example is endless. According to Qu Bai himself, his idol is his big brother - the old lieutenant Qu Bai! β
How did Liu Jianhong know that Qu Bo is not only Liu Yun's little brother now, but also his "little son-in-law".
At this moment, Liu Yun's daughter Liu Xiaoyan was wearing a sky blue jersey and was sitting in the stands at Wembley Stadium with several female classmates.
"Wow, your boyfriend is so handsome." A female classmate with blond hair said.
Liu Xiaoyan heard her little girlfriend praise her boyfriend with a proud expression. But humility is an excellent quality of Chinese people. Liu Xiaoyan inherited this excellent quality: "Hmph, handsome, handsome." Compared to my dad, he was a third-rate player. β
The blonde female classmate agreed and said: "Mmmmmmmm, the old lieutenant is the soul of our Coventry team." So, can you introduce me to your father? β
It is said that it is fire prevention, anti-theft and anti-girlfriend. Liu Xiaoyan glared at her little girlfriend: "Introduce you to each other?" I'm afraid my dad's girlfriend, Ms. Isabella, will be upset. β
European girls are generally precocious, and the sixteen-year-old blonde girl said disappointedly, "Oh? I thought your dad was single. β
The game passed minute by minute. 80 minutes, 85 minutes. The regular time of the game has come to an end.
Conte is figuring out how to make a substitution. It looks like the game is going to overtime. Looking at Pedro's obvious decline in physical fitness, do you want to replace him and replace himγγγγγγ
Conte is sitting and planning, but the situation on the field has changed!
