Chapter 467: Flat......
"David Villa's beautiful heel knock! Mugwort!!! Shot!!!!! ”
Hyde shouted hoarsely, but his voice was noticeably muffled as Elo's shot was saved by Cech, but then he saw a white figure appear in the camera, "David Villa!!! ”
“objetivoooooooooooooooo――”
His guest commentator, Barry, shouted.
Immediately, the radio at the Mestalla Stadium also chanted, "goooooooaaaal-"
At the same time, the whole stadium seemed to be boiling at this moment, and countless fans were constantly waving their fists with the sound of goals on the radio, and they all knew that at least in this game, they were already invincible.
Mourinho, who already felt that he had escaped death, shook his head bitterly, but in the end he could not escape.
Although the captain Terry was still negotiating with the assistant referee at this time, signaling that David Villa, who shot up, was suspected of offside, but just now his vision was very good, and David Villa, who shot up, was not offside, because Terry's whole person slid to the line of the small penalty area, and David Villa was still two or three yards away from the line of the small penalty area when he made up the shot, so the offside was not established.
Sure enough, the assistant referee stood up to his judgment in the face of doubts from the Chelsea players.
In the end, the referee had no choice but to give Carvalho, a Portuguese man with a lot of fluctuations, as a warning, telling him that the dignity of the referee on the football field is inviolable!

Iello watched Cech fly to save his shot, a little surprised and a little disappointed, if this goal is scored, then he can set a new Champions League single-season goal record, but it's a pity.
But after seeing his friend David Villa score the ball, the whole person glowed again, and ran over excitedly to put his arms around his neck, and made a gesture of raising his arms at the Valencia fans behind the goal, signaling that their voices should be more enthusiastic.
Sure enough, after the fans in the stands saw Iroh's action, their voices were much louder than before, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a tsunami.
Everyone knows the significance of David Villa's goal.
It is now 3-1 on aggregate ahead of Chelsea.
In other words, if Chelsea are to regain their chance of progressing to the last four, they will have to score at least two goals in the remaining time to equalise the away goals and send the game to extra-time, but this score will only be established if they do not concede a goal.
So basically, the goal was a demoralizer to the Chelsea players.
But...... Just when the Chelsea players were looking confused, John Terry stepped up.
He yelled at his teammates who bowed their heads and were silent, "Losing the ball is not the end of the day, we still have a chance!" Because the game isn't quite over yet! Don't forget, we're Premier League champions!! ”
Terry's words immediately irritated the players on the field.
Yes, the game isn't over yet, there are chances!
The champion of the Premier League, dignity is inviolable!!
The England reporters standing in the press box also cheered for the Chelsea players on the sidelines after hearing Terry's words!
The game isn't over yet, there's still a chance, to hell with the damn Spanish team!
※※※
As the game resumed, the home fans in the stands soon discovered that Chelsea, who had conceded the first goal, had not completely lost confidence, but had become more and more courageous, taking advantage of the skill and speed of the two wings to create a killing chance while ensuring their defence.
Looking at the strength of Chelsea's counterattack, the Spanish commentator took out the script prepared before the game and read it out, "Although Chelsea's counterattack is very strong, but the recent record can tell a lot, Valencia has recently been unbeaten in 10 home games against England teams, and Chelsea have been in Spain in the last six times, without a win, it is clear from here that the promotion will likely be Valencia, who advanced to the semi-finals last season......"
Chelsea's counter-attack was built on a solid defence, but that solid defence had a fatal hole.
In order to minimise unnecessary wasted game time, they often choose to foul the football and leave the football in place, waiting for Valencia to open a free kick at the back or up front.
However, for this reason, Mikel, who defended Elo, also received a yellow card, and this yellow card also predicted that no matter what the result of this game is, Mikel will miss the next round of Champions League matches.
In any case, this is not good news for Chelsea.
As Chelsea's counter-attacks intensified, Valencia consciously increased their needless possession, putting more time on the ball in central midfield and only getting the ball to dangerous team-mates unless there were better passing opportunities.
Time passed quickly, and it was the end of the first half, and the Chelsea players were also actively fighting for the goal after conceding the goal, and their fitness was a little bit unable to keep up, so the tempo naturally slowed down.
After all, the Premier League is the most intensive league in the world, especially when other leagues are in the winter break, the Premier League has to speed up, basically two games a week, if you add the League Cup and FA Cup, the game is even more intensive, like Chelsea's giants, participate in a lot of games.
Whether it is a domestic league, a cup or a UEFA Champions League, it is a must, and it is even more important to ensure the results.
But there are only so many players, so often in the second half of the Europa League, the big teams are prone to injuries and lack of fitness, which is the biggest reason why England can't do well in international competitions.
The same is true for this Chelsea team, which is riddled with injuries and not many personnel available, which is why Chelsea have not had as much success this season as they have in the previous two seasons.
As there were no injuries in the first half, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half 45 minutes into the game.
Mourinho's usual expression, as if someone owed him five million, entered the dressing room early with a gloomy face, and he once again expressed his dissatisfaction with the team's first-half table.

During the fifteen minutes of the break, the commentators in the live studio basically defined the game, that is, if nothing else, it must be Valencia who will advance at home.
Because whether it is from the performance of the players above this game or the comparison on the bench, Valencia is still much better than Chelsea.
It is very likely that as the game progresses, the Chelsea players will slowly feel the fatigue of their bodies, and with the loss of confidence in the game, there is a good chance that there will be a collapse at that time.
Of course, in this second half, when there is basically no suspense, Huang Jiaxiang is more concerned about when Ailo will be able to break his single-season goal record in the Champions League last season.
"According to Valencia's table in the Champions League this season, they still hold a winning record at their home stadium, and I believe that this game is also likely to end with this scoreline, so in the case of promotion, we should pay more attention to whether Iello can score a goal before the end of the game and refresh his Champions League single-season goal record set last season......"
Fans of all kinds will always be very sensitive to the word record, as was the case with Aylo's record of 16 Champions League goals in a single season last season.
In addition, Iroh equaled this record in the first leg of the 1/4 finals, which means that according to his current competitive state, there is still a lot of room for improvement in the record, so the Chinese fans have greater expectations for Aillo.
Whenever it comes to having a Valencia game, there will always be an explosion on the Chinese Internet, and there will always be one person to discuss, and that is Iro.
This was the case in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

The fifteen-minute break passed quickly and Chelsea were the first to make a change when they came on, replacing Kalou with Claude Makellele.
This substitution left many people scratching their heads, replacing a winger with a midfielder, which is usually replaced after taking the lead to strengthen the defence, but Mourinho replaced a winger with a midfielder when the team needed it most.
It's confusing, so many people are speculating about what kind of medicine is sold in his gourd.
This...... The substitution also annoyed Chelsea owner Zlatan Ibramovic.
With hundreds of millions of pounds invested every season, he wants more than just the Premier League, he wants to win the Champions League!
He felt that at this time he should replace a midfielder with a striker, and it was best to replace Shepchenko, but this substitution was completely opposite to himself.
At this moment, Ibramovic felt that this was Mourinho arguing with himself in the air knowing that the team had no hope of qualifying!
If you want to argue with me, that's fine! At the end of the season, I'll put a technical director in the dressing room!
Thinking of this, Ibramovich thought of a person.
……
In fact, Mourinho's substitution was to strengthen the attack, and after the Valencia defenders became familiar with Chelsea's attacking attack on both wings, it was better to switch to a central midfielder to completely free up Lampard, and also use Joe Cole's skills to find opportunities in the middle.
Kill more than one stone.
Sure enough, less than five minutes into the second half, the situation on the field changed dramatically.
The successive changes in Chelsea's formation left Valencia's defensive system a bit chaotic, and the liberated Frank Lampard was like a fish in water, and before Albelda could catch up to block it, he suddenly took a long-range shot from 30 yards out, Canizares was unable to react due to the view blocked, and by the time he saw the football, it was too late.
The soccer ball hangs in the top left corner of the goal.
After the goal, Frank Lampard habitually pointed to the sky and thanked God.
"Goal! Frank Lampard stepped up in Chelsea's most difficult time, and this goal was undoubtedly a shot in the arm for Chelsea in crisis! ”
The commentator in England said excitedly.
Mourinho was also very happy to see the goal, raising his arms and shouting.
