Chapter 215. Victory!
"This is my second time playing in England!"
Li Lin stood in the stadium of Stamford Bridge, looked at the blue sea of countless fans around him, and sighed.
The first time Li Lin returned to England, it was naturally the Champions League group stage against Manchester City, that time Li Lin led Ajax to victory, but I don't know what the result will be this time!
With that in mind, Martin Taylor and Alan Smith in the commentary box were discussing similar issues.
"Last time, Li Lin and Ajax almost defeated a somewhat chaotic Manchester City, I don't know how they will perform today!"
Alan Smith said expectantly.
"There is no doubt that Li Lin's performance in this game will be a portrayal of his performance next season, and I believe that many Premier League teams are now paying attention to this Li Lin game!"
Martin Taylor said lightly.
The two commentators were right, at this time, many club general managers and scouts were sitting in the stands at this time, to take a closer look at Li Lin's performance, although Li Lin had performed well enough in the previous game against Manchester City, but the more such performances appeared, the more convincing it became.
Li Lin didn't know that there were so many people paying attention to his performance in this game, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care, in his opinion, there was only one purpose in this game, which was to decide which team would enter the next round of the game, that's all!
"Today Coach Benitez can be said to be the main force, playing all the cards in his hand, but I don't know if the scattered state of Chelsea in the last game can be changed!"
Wright still had some doubts about Chelsea's form, but those doubts disappeared as soon as the game started!
Chelsea's front three men, Fernando Torres, Eden Hazard and Oscar came on as a midfielder, and all of a sudden, it was as if they had been brought back to life, playing smoothly on the pitch, and perhaps the only thing that remained unchanged was that Torres, although positive, still had some poor feeling in front of goal.
Standing on the field, looking at the once radiant figure, Li Lin can understand the anxiety and anxiety in Torres's heart, as a striker, if he loses his finishing ability, it is terrible, especially when his athleticism has not declined, it is even more terrifying!
However, under such a onslaught, Chelsea still knocked on the door of Ajax smoothly, in the 33rd minute of the game, Mata received Ramirez's through ball, with a light shot, to help the team open the scoring, and also made the aggregate score 1:1, but just one goal is not enough, they still need to score more goals, because Ajax is now away, even if Chelsea score another goal, if Ajax pull back a goal, In the case of a draw, Ajax will rely on the advantage of away goals to eliminate Chelsea, so you can understand why Chelsea are playing around Ajax with the banner of attack from the start of the game.
As time went on, the Chelsea players who had besieged most of the game were still tired after all, which gave Ajax a chance to fight back!
Before the end of the first half, Ajax found a chance to fight back!
"Lee, after receiving a pass from a teammate, he pushed forward at high speed, Ramirez chased after him, but he was pulled farther and farther away!"
Li Lin understood that there would not be too many such opportunities in this game, so when he had the opportunity, he did not hesitate to go full speed ahead, and almost in the blink of an eye, he entered the opponent's penalty area.
At this time, in the Chelsea penalty area, the experienced central defender Terry was like a wall in front of Li Lin, and at the same time pulled Li Lin's jersey with both hands, not much force, but played a role in interference, and at the same time, the opponent's left full-back also rushed up, trying to snatch the ball away.
And Azpilicueta, who was only looking at Li Lin in his eyes, didn't notice that a figure flashed behind him!
At the moment when he rushed up, Li Lin leaned on Terry and sent the ball forward!
Fisher, who slipped quietly from behind, received the ball alertly and did not hesitate to kick the ball before David Luiz could break it!
Czech goalkeeper Petr Cech was unable to save his team this time, it was too close, and the ball went into the net as soon as Cech tried to make a save.
1:1, at the end of the first half, Ajax equalized and completely pushed the opponent to the edge of the cliff, at this time Chelsea only scored two goals to eliminate the opponent, so that the pressure on the Chelsea players increased sharply, and also made Benitez on the sidelines frown.
There are some things, in fact, Benitez sees it very clearly, as if he knows that it is easy to be counterattacked by the opponent, but Chelsea, who is at a disadvantage in the score, can only take the initiative to initiate an offensive. Looking at the goals conceded by Ajax in European competitions, most of them are due to quick counter-attacks and the presence of strong center forwards, and Chelsea who cannot meet these two conditions can only attack! Otherwise, why would Benitez, who is known as a master tactician, face Ajax with such a desperate style of play!
In the second half, the Ajax players became more and more confident in their hearts, and continued to defend the opponent's counterattack, especially Li Lin, this shining knife has let everyone see how sharp he can be in the first half, and it is very helpless that Chelsea has been restrained by Li Lin alone A lot of attention.
As time went on, the game got closer and closer, and finally, as close to injury time, Chelsea scored a crucial goal through a free-kick opportunity by John Terry, which also gave the Chelsea players hope at this time, but there was too little time left for them, and Ajax managed to keep the aggregate score 2:2 until the end, which also meant that they eliminated Chelsea and successfully reached the last eight of the Europa League!
When the referee's whistle ended, Benitez shook his head in undisguised frustration, turned around and shook hands with Frank de Boer as he walked, and then looked back at the massive Stamford Bridge, and he knew that it was probably close to him leaving here!
At this time, Li Lin is celebrating the victory with his teammates, and their hopes are still continuing, and they still have a chance to get a little closer to that trophy, a little closer!
"I can't wait to see him in the Premier League, what about you?"
Alan Smith looked at Martin Taylor and smiled softly.
Martin Taylor nodded, expressing his attitude in this way.
