When asked if Lin Yu's return to Dortmund would be booed, Mourinho shrugged his shoulders and said: "This question should be asked to the Dortmund fans, I don't have mind reading." ”

"So do you think playing on a rainy day will have a bad impact on the team?"

"There must be an impact, but do you think we're afraid of it? We're Chelsea! Chelsea are known for their iron spirit! Nothing can stump us! Mourinho's answer was categorical, he did not deny that the rain would have an impact on the game, but he also affirmed that the team could overcome all odds.

Because they had not trained on the Westphalen Stadium before, before the game, although it was still raining, the team was arranged by Mourinho to adapt to the venue, not training, but simply adapting, so it seemed more free.

The players in spikes didn't even dare to speed up, because if they weren't careful, they would fall to the ground, and it only took ten minutes to get used to it, and the players were basically muddy, Lin Yu didn't wrestle, but the splashing muddy water also made his jersey dirty, and it felt like he had escaped from a swamp.

Faced with such a situation, the members of the coaching staff are worried.

Strength and conditioning coach Chris Jones sighed: "Playing in such an environment is not only a huge physical exertion, but also easy to get injured, which is really troublesome." ”

Mourinho patted Jones on the shoulder and smiled: "Don't be so depressed, as a professional team, what kind of bad conditions have you not encountered?" It's not like we've played games like this in the rain. There's no need to worry about it, they're all professionals. I'll protect myself and finish the game at the same time. ”

Despite Mourinho's words, Oscar's injury has more or less cast a shadow over the team. It can be seen that the players are very cautious and cautious during training, and sometimes they can run, but they must walk slowly, as if they are afraid of falling.

The training is still like this, I don't know how the game will be, Mourinho's brow is also slightly furrowed, the only thing that can make him smile. Or Lin Yu, Lin Yu doesn't seem to be affected by the rain, although he is covered in mud and water, but his running and running are still as sharp as ever, this kid is really a reassuring pill, with him, no matter who it is, he will be much more relieved.

About 30 minutes of acclimatization. It only lasted about 20 minutes before it was hastily done, and some of the players stood there shivering, and it looked like it was really a little cold in such a ghost weather.

Slightly frustrated, the Chelsea players returned to the dressing room to get ready to rest. While waiting for the official game to come, Dortmund's dressing room was talking and laughing, and it seemed very relaxed.

Klopp did not arrange the so-called acclimatization. Because there was no need for that, the players couldn't be more familiar with the stadium. And just yesterday and the day before yesterday, they were training here for two whole days. You can rest well today and give it your all when you prepare for the game.

'When I went out to see it, all the Chelsea players looked like they had fled and had no motivation to play at all. Aubameyang said with a smile.

"Really? That's really lucky, no matter what, as long as you can reverse the promotion, even if you don't win very brightly, it doesn't matter. ”

", why is it dishonorable? The weather is equal for both sides, and it's not just them who play in the rain, we are the same, and if we win, we win by our ability. Hummels didn't have a good breath.

"Haha, that's a good point, don't sympathize with the enemy because of this, that kind of thinking is unacceptable, and it's dangerous, because it is likely to mislead your actions on the field. It's like the battlefield, on the battlefield, the enemy is the enemy, and you can't have compassion, otherwise you might be shot by his bullets. Klopp also said with a smile.

……

Dortmund's ease is not without reason, and when the game comes, it does prove it.

Despite the rain, the stands at the Westphalen Stadium were still full, and the point was that this game was so important, because of the away loss, this game became Dortmund's only chance to qualify for the last four, and if it was missed, there will be no next time.

Lin Yu thought that he might be booed very badly, but when he saw that there were still fans on the court with signs welcoming him home, and even when he broke through with the ball, no one booed him, but some people cheered for him, he couldn't help but be moved.

It's just that he is moved, how to play the game and how to play, he will not be soft-hearted because of the fans, that would be too unprofessional.

What's more, the current situation of the team is not optimistic, and he has no reason to be soft-hearted. More than 30 minutes into the game, Chelsea had no coordination at all, and Borussia Dortmund changed the score with a goal from Reus just over 10 minutes later.

Now the aggregate score of the two teams is 3:2, Chelsea 3, Dortmund 2, but because Dortmund has away goals, so as long as one more goal is scored to ensure that the team does not concede, it can be reversed and advanced to the semi-finals, which makes Dortmund, who was already full of confidence, play harder.

To some extent, in this duel, Royce is at least temporarily ahead of Lin Yu, although Lin Yu's performance is still excellent, but the cruel reality once again tells him that football matches are not a one-person thing, even if he is alone, if his teammates can't keep up with the rhythm at all and can't cooperate, it will definitely be very troublesome.

Although Lin Yu said before the game that he would treat Dortmund's old friends regardless of whether he won or lost, if he really lost, he really couldn't afford to lose that person, especially once he was reversed by Dortmund and promoted, he felt that he had lost his face to his grandmother's house, where was there time to play?

The two-skin face also has a face.

It's a bit of a shame to concede the goal, although Oscar is not as good as Juan Mata in terms of creativity and organisation. But his defensive ability is really much better than Mata's, which is why Mourinho would rather start Oscar. And for the sake of putting Mata on the bench.

Unfortunately, Oscar was injured before the game, so Mata came in for him. And it was precisely this first goal conceded because Mata failed to steal, but he was easily passed, and then refused to counter-rob, and finally formed a counterattack by Dortmund.

Of course, the mistake was not Mata's alone, and there were serious problems at the back, as the rash Luis had already cut off the ball from the feet of Reus, but at this time his feet slipped and fell to the ground. The ball, of course, was snatched away by Reus, who scored with a direct shot in the face of a huge gap in the middle.

In the end, this ball can only be said to be a complaint.

God is not beautiful, and it is useless for people to be positive.

After conceding the goal, Chelsea looked even more messy, and it can be seen that the players' eyes are a little confused, and they no longer have the fighting spirit of the past. It doesn't seem to know how to kick, no matter how to kick.

The situation of the game can be seen from the situation of the turf in the half of the two sides.

At this time, Chelsea's half, many parts of the turf were trampled into a mud swamp. Obviously it was because of the fierce scramble, and in Dortmund's half, the turf was almost good. Goalkeeper Weidenfeller even felt a little chilled, and the game played for more than thirty minutes. He didn't even get a chance to play.

"Sure enough, the sky is not beautiful, and Lin Yu is the only one in the Chelsea team who behaves normally. But he is now both a father and a mother, not only to defend, but also to take care of offense, very busy, he passed a few very threatening through balls, but unfortunately they were all wasted by his teammates, I feel that my teammates can't run, or dare not run, the situation is very bad. ”

Although Lin Yu didn't want to be shackled by defense, he wanted to attack and shoot! But the problem is that today's backcourt is completely unpowerful, if he goes to the front court alone to wait for the opportunity to attack, then the ball basically can't pass to his feet, so he can only choose to go back to defense, the result is back and forth, time is wasted on defense, even if his performance is good, it can only prevent the team from conceding again, and the offense is completely unexpected.

"Just need one more goal! What a ball! With just one more goal, Dortmund can reverse Chelsea and advance to the last four! The Dortmund commentator watched the game with excitement, and the team's performance made him a little excited, although the weather was cold, but his heart was warm.

It's just that Lin Yu is there, and his dream has not been realized after all, until the end of the first half, the score is still 1:0, Chelsea did not score, and Dortmund did not score again, even though Chelsea's attack is weak, but so many people are standing there, coupled with Lin Yu's help defense, still hold the advantage in the aggregate score, and do not let Dortmund expand the score.

At half-time, the Chelsea dressing room was devoid of its usual joy and became dead silent, with the players feeling depressed.

Nobody wants that, in fact, everyone wants to play well, but the reality is that the weather, coupled with psychological factors, has formed the current situation.

In fact, if the current score can be maintained until the end, it will be Chelsea who will advance, and Dortmund's efforts will be in vain, but even so, the players are still not happy, even if they really qualify like this, they will feel a little bit defeated, feel a little depressed.

Men, they always want to win beautifully, and playing such a bad game is a shame for the team and a disappointment for the fans.

The successive victories have made the Chelsea players think that the game must not be lost, even if it is an innocuous game, we cannot lose, we are a title team, we are a team that intends to win the treble, and it is simply unforgivable to lose, let alone such an important game.

"What's wrong? A light rain defeated you? How did you promise before the game? Don't you feel hot when you touch your face? 'Jose Mourinho broke the silence in the dressing room, as a manager he knew he had to change something, but he didn't know exactly how to change it, but if he didn't do anything, it wouldn't work.

The players all kept their heads down, and they didn't look very comfortable.

"Well, all look up, you're all manly men, and standing there, you represent the spirit of Chelsea! The first half was not good, and it was a bit of a problem with my tactics, so I shouldn't have thought you could play on the road, and I shouldn't have been presumptuous and let you attack. ”

"Coach, don't say it, it's all our fault."

"There's nothing wrong with you, let's recover it in the second half, all go back to your own half, and Van Ginkel will replace Mata on the field, Lin Yu, you just stay in front and wait for the opportunity to attack." Mourinho said with a grim face.

He doesn't deny Mata's skills, but when he needs to defend, Mata can't do it, so he has to be substituted, which is also a helpless thing.

"Coach, I don't want to go down!" Mata has always been a good boy, but he was a little unwilling to be substituted like this.

"And can you guarantee defense?" Mourinho asked.

'Coach, how about me and Mata switching places? I'll defend and he'll attack in front, and if he doesn't show up after 10 minutes, it's not too late to replace him, and I'll just make sure we don't let the opponent score. Although Lin Yu's relationship with Mata is not as good as Oscar, he also feels that replacing Mata so early is a bit too arbitrary, the team still needs to attack, Van Kingkel's defense is good, but the offensive side is not very good.
