Chapter 488: The Wolf Is Coming
The media's predictions for Chelsea's game have always been inaccurate, mainly because they looked at Chelsea with tinted glasses, but this time, they were right, and the away game against AC Milan was a nightmare from which Chelsea did not wake up until the end of the first half.
In forty-five minutes, AC Milan seemed to have taken drugs that could transform into the Hulk, one was crazier than the other, one was braver than the other, and I don't know why they didn't have this kind of momentum when they played Bayer Leverkusen.
Actually, Chelsea's defense is pretty good, but the problem is that none of AC Milan's damn goals were scored by normal means, and even if you defend in place, you can't prevent that magic shot.
In the opening 20 minutes, Balotelli penetrated the Chelsea goal twice, the first shot was a 35-meter long shot, which could have been saved, but the ball smashed to the top of the defender's head, and there was a strange refraction, even if Cech was a god, he could only look at the ball in the goal in a daze.
The second goal was even more bizarre, when Balotelli shot at goal, I don't know which fan threw a white smoke bomb into the pitch, the smoke bomb fell into the box, and Cech couldn't tell the direction of the ball at all, but when the referee blew the whistle for the goal, he was still looking for the ball.
The Chelsea players strongly protested against the goal, but because it was a smoke bomb thrown into the stadium by the fans, it was not done by the AC Milan players, and the referee did not rule that the goal was invalid. Coupled with the fact that UEFA was behind the scenes, it was natural that no matter how much the Chelsea players argued about this goal. That ended up counting.
A brace in 20 minutes was a blow from Balotelli to Chelsea. It also ignited the arrogance of AC Milan to extinguish Chelsea.
After the goal was scored, AC Milan's attack was still fierce, but Chelsea did not collapse, still trying to defend and looking for opportunities to counter-attack.
In the final minute of the first half, Kaka's long-range shot from outside the box once again opened the door for Cech.
All three goals were from distance, which was a bit too demanding for the defenders. What's more, the first two goals were a bit of luck.
"It's over, Chelsea has become a third-rate team without Mourinho's on-the-spot command, and they may not even be able to qualify for the Champions League group, this is a huge crisis, has Lin Yu forgotten his rhetoric at the Champions League awards ceremony?"
"With Lin Yu's character, he shouldn't wait for others to slap him in the face, he has to come up with something."
At half-time, Mourinho did not go to the dressing room to avoid suspicion. But he spoke to all the Chelsea players on the phone.
"If we lose this game, even if I return, our Champions League journey is over! Your problem now is that you are still not confident enough to be without my command. Don't you know how to kick? Don't be so restrained, don't be so cautious, show your courage to break the boat! Do you want to make the UEFA bastards see the jokes. Want to make Platini laugh in his dreams at night? ”
This passage may really be the reason for the reversal of the situation in this game. But maybe not, at the start of the second half anyway. Once again, Chelsea left those who thought they had no hope speechless.
Forty-seven minutes, two minutes into the second half, Chelsea stubbornly pulled a goal back!
"I said a long time ago, Chelsea without Mourinho, at least Lin Yu, he will not watch the team be eliminated! He finally showed his real skills again! Just two minutes into the second half, he went straight through three people and sent the ball into the net in front of the AC Milan defenders! ”
After the goal, Lin Yu also wanted to vent, the first half of the game was too bad, and he didn't find a sense of rhythm, mainly because Balotelli's two goals were too shocking, which made him feel a little bad, so anxiety and panic followed.
The more anxious he is, the worse he plays, coupled with AC Milan's own strong defense and tactical strategy against him, he feels very embarrassed that he has not been able to score.
So after the goal was scored, he jumped up and clenched his fist fiercely, in the Champions League last season, he scored fifteen goals, and won the Golden Boot of the Champions League for three consecutive years, but this season's Champions League, until now, he has only scored the first goal, which cannot but be said, it is too commendable.
"Finally a goal! Lin Yu broke the nightmare of zero goals in the Champions League! Now, he has begun to really catch up with Messi and Ronaldo, the two now have six goals, two hat tricks, one five goals, a hat, and two goals, all of which are full of momentum, and this round of the Champions League group stage, it is estimated that there will be goals, Lin Yu must start catching up, otherwise, he will really not be able to catch up. ”
Because of this goal, Mourinho in the stands couldn't help but stand up and cheer, no matter whether this game can be equalized or reversed, as long as Lin Yu can score, then it means that there is still hope for this team.
It's like the demon king who has turned on the slaughter mode, once he kills crazy, he can't stop. Lin Yu, who scored the first goal, couldn't stop it at all.
The Buddha blocks and kills the Buddha, and the god blocks and kills the gods!
It's such a rhythm!
The AC Milan manager was a little scared, so he chose to defend solidly, after all, the score is 3:1, and the game is already in the second half, as long as he can hold on to this scoreline, he will win, and it seems that it is not very difficult to hold on.
But in the face of Lin Yu, who killed the red eye, what is the use of a solid defense? It just gave him more determination to kill.
In the 70th minute of the game, Lin Yu finally broke through AC Milan's goal again, this time, he used a more beautiful long-range shot than Kaka's long-range shot to pay tribute to the opponent, you can score that kind of world wave, I can score a more beautiful world wave.
From three goals down to one, it took Chelsea less than thirty minutes. And both goals were scored by Lin Yu, the essence of the core. The true colors of the killer are finally revealed.
Even the commentary on the scene couldn't help but say: "Chelsea who have lost Mourinho are like a group of stragglers." There is no organization, no attack, however, they have a terrifying existence with a strong individual combat ability, that is Lin Yu, this person is enough to rely on his personal ability to change the rhythm of the whole game! ”
Of course, the commentary was a bit of an exaggeration, and after being disciplined by Jose Mourinho's words, it was clear that Chelsea were much better overall than they were in the first half. Lin Yu's two goals came precisely from the wonderful passes of Oscar and Hazard, although his individual ability also played a big role, but the cooperation of his teammates must not be denied.
From 3:0 to 3:2, AC Milan obviously didn't know how to play, and now they are still leading by one goal, whether to attack or defend, even the head coach is a little confused.
If you continue to defend the advantage of one goal, it is really not safe, if it is equalized. That would be a wasted effort, but if you attack now, the defence will be more empty and will give Chelsea more chances. If it is reversed in the end, it will be a real joke.
Just when the players and coaches of AC Milan were in an ambiguous mood, Lin Yu once again woke them up from their dreams.
The game lasted for the 80th minute. Lin Yu scored again, this time through a corner. Oscar's corner found Lin Yu very accurately, and Lin Yu did not waste such a good opportunity. After the header, the ball fell directly into the far corner of the goal, rewriting the score to 3:3!
"It's equalized! Equalized! Powerful Lin Yu! Terrifying Lin Yu! , just said that he is a little late to catch up with Messi and Ronaldo now, but now it doesn't seem too late, he scored a hat trick in this game that was not dominant, and the game is not over yet, with his current state, even if he scores a few more goals, it is not impossible. ”
The desire to explain was good, but in the last ten minutes, AC Milan fought hard, and finally managed to receive two red cards to keep the score until the end of the game.
In this way, the two teams shook hands again, and the two games in the group stage were drawn, which cannot but be said to be a regret between the giants.
As a result, the two teams are now tied on three points, with Chelsea still ahead of AC Milan by goal.
However, it is interesting that Bayer Leverkusen, who have performed well since the group stage, lost 0:1 away to Spartak Moscow, so the situation in this group is even more incomprehensible.
The current situation is that Bayer Leverkusen has one win, one draw and one loss, with a total of 4 points, and is still in first place with a goal advantage;
Spartak Moscow, which was not favored before the game, also scored 4 points with a record of one win, one draw and one loss, ranking second;
On the contrary, Chelsea and AC Milan, the most favored in this group, have become a pair of fallen mandarin ducks, both of them have drawn three games, and the points are only three points, and they are in third and fourth place.
After three rounds, the top two teams in the other groups are basically clear, and the prospects for qualification can also be seen, but only this group, no matter how you look at it, I feel that all four teams are likely to advance, and they are also likely to be eliminated.
People say that the group of death deserves to be the group of death, and Mourinho's absence has made this year's group of death worthy of the name.
But the media also pointed out that Mourinho's suspension has ended, and when the next round of the Champions League group stage is rekindled, he will sit on the sidelines and command the whole team.
Mourinho also held a press conference after the game, telling the media that "the wolf is coming! ”
Although it is a simple statement, it is rich in meaning, and anyone who knows Mourinho and Chelsea's current predicament in the Champions League knows what Mourinho's words mean.
The wolf is coming, it's going to eat people, and it's a hungry wolf!
Back in England, the team was not discouraged by a three-game winless run, because they were able to equalise away from home, which is a manifestation of the spirit of not giving up, and with that spirit, what game can not be won?
What's more, the biggest good news is that Mourinho has lifted his suspension, and he can finally sit on the sidelines and direct the game.
How terrible a complete Chelsea, a complete Chelsea, is terrifying, I believe the next Champions League opponents will feel it.
However, there is still some time before the next round of the Champions League group stage, and at present, everyone should consider the domestic league and League Cup matches.
Now that the FA Cup has not started, Mourinho has tried to rotate the squad, and he must get the players used to this rotation of play, otherwise, when the FA Cup is ignited, at the same time, it will be really tiring to death if there is no rotation.
The head coach has returned, the morale of the whole team is high, and at this time, the domestic league has also encountered the strongest opponents at the moment, Arsenal.
This is a home game at Stamford Bridge, there is no doubt that even against Arsenal, Chelsea want to take all three points, in Mourinho's eyes, there is no point in not pursuing a game, so as long as it is a game, then you should go for the win, unless you have to give up in some special circumstances.
On one side is the combined army of Benzema, Mesut Ozil, Khedira, plus Ramsey, Wilshere, Flamini, etc.;
On the one hand, Lin Yu, Eden Hazard, Gundogan, Varane, Oscar, John Terry, Lampard and other champions, the whole world is watching. (To be continued......)
