Chapter 487: Lost Magic
Massimo. Charlie's unimaginable goal set the tone of the game. All sorts of incredible things happened in the ensuing matches, such as Thiago. Silva's inexplicable slip and a very bizarre counter-attack goal than Ho Xu, such as Sirigu's unexpected escape...... In short, the players were like obsessed with this game, constantly causing all kinds of unexpected situations, and in the end, Arsenal beat Paris Saint-Germain 4-0.
In He Wei's words after the game, "I think Arsenal has stepped into the Champions League semi-finals with one foot, maybe this year's Arsenal can win in their own three lines!" This is still worth looking forward to. ”
Arsenal are having a smooth day, while their arch-rivals Chelsea seem to be in a quagmire at this time. In the Champions League, they played against manager Jose Mourinho's old club Real Madrid. Ronaldo did a great job and didn't save any face for his compatriots plus the team of the former manager. Not to mention the hat-trick with an overhead kick, it also caused Chelsea centre-back Gary to score a hat-trick. A red card for Cahill. After the game, Cristiano Ronaldo, surrounded by his teammates, excitedly celebrated the victory, which was a bit hard-won, after all, Chelsea's results in recent years have also been good, and Mourinho's mentality here is much better than when he was at Real Madrid. At least Abu still supports him wholeheartedly, just like this time, although he lost the match against Real Madrid, Abu still didn't blame him for anything. It's just that, as always, a cheque was once again prepared for Mourinho and his scouts.
The defeat to Real Madrid was played at their home turf, while the subsequent league fixture was against defending champions Arsenal, who are currently top of the table. The most important thing Mourinho wants to do for such a schedule is to curse, and he really doesn't understand why his team has been in such a situation this season. It's like he doesn't understand why Arsenal can beat a strong opponent.
By this time, the league had reached the 31st round of the league and they were still a full eleven points behind Arsenal. If they can't win the next games, then Chelsea's season could be dangerous. They are likely to have a season in which the Blues fans are praying for the manager to show his magic. It's okay to bring your team a refreshment victory, even if it doesn't have a real effect!
Because next is to go to the Parc des Princes to play Paris Saint-Germain in the second leg of the Champions League. Therefore, Wenger gave his main players a rotational rest, and only He Xu still appeared on the pitch wearing the captain's armband, after all, there are still seven rounds of the league, and he needs to score more goals in these seven rounds to consolidate his position as the top scorer. But it looks like he clearly has more face for his former manager than Cristiano Ronaldo. He didn't score in this game. However, Chelsea fell at Stamford Bridge. The goal was scored by substitute Garrincha. The small man's streak of dribbles was talked about in the following seasons.
When Garrincha came on, the score was still 0-0, and he replaced Jack, who had a good performance in the game. Wilshere plays. He was a right-sided midfielder and after he came on, Chelsea captain Cui Jiantao came up to defend him. These two similarly sized guys had a very fierce fight here, and Cui Jiantao had a bigger advantage at first, because his body seemed thin but extremely strong. In the scramble, it is obviously a greater advantage, but these do not matter to Garrincha, after re-figuring out Cui Jiantao's defensive strategy, he played his greatest strengths, running left and right to avoid the opponent's squeeze, and cooperating with his teammates in the middle, the front of this field is Aaron. Ramsey, the Welshman stuffed the ball a little too big in a one-two, but it was this time that made the flight of "Little Birdie" Garrincha!
Garrincha turned around and opened it fiercely, and after Cui Jiantao tried to hold his hand, he accelerated and rushed towards the ball that was rolling away. After receiving the ball, he didn't rush to cut inside, and went down with the ball! It's in Gary. Cahill came up from the flank to get on the ball when Garrincha made a quick stop and took the ball away from Gary. Cahill poked between his legs and he quickly rounded his opponent from the sidelines! This time he took the ball and rushed into the depths of the box.
The other central defender was Ivanovic, who wanted to rush towards Garrincha and block him, but who knew that behind him, He Xu suddenly shouted, "Pass!" Garrincha! Only then did Ivan think that if he went up by himself, he would leave this large area for the killer behind him...... What to do? Just as he hesitated, Garrincha dunked the ball and wiped Ramirez, who came in to defend him! Ivanovic finally made up his mind at this time and pounced on Garrincha. It's a pity that his hesitation gave Garrincha a lot of loopholes and opportunities, and it was precisely because of this that Garrincha had space to make a very wonderful rainbow pass in the penalty area against Ivanovic's defense! This time, even the opponent's fans had to cheer!
Courtois wanted to attack, but Garrincha went one step further and got ahead of Courtois and headed the ball into the back of the net with his head. 1 to 0! Arsenal took the lead and held the score until the end. Diego. Costa couldn't get on the scoresheet in the end, and Chelsea could only afford to hate at home......
At the end of the game, Mourinho, who already knew in his heart that there was no hope of winning the title this season, looked as if he had suddenly aged 30 years old. Standing in front of his seat with a haggard face, he listened to the boos from the home fans who didn't know it was their opponents. This guy nicknamed "Magic Bird" seems to have really lost his magic at this moment......
Wenger walked over and hugged him, I don't know if it was for comfort or for the sake of falling into the ground, in short, Mourinho looked at this opponent who had been suppressed by himself, and felt very uncomfortable.
He Xu handed his jersey to Cui Jiantao, and said to him with a mocking face: "It seems that we shouldn't be able to see each other in the Champions League!" So, as an enemy, see you next season! ”
Cui Jiantao gritted his teeth, "You wait for me!" Let's see how I beat that kid in Li Bo in my next game! ”
He Xu listened to Cui Jiantao talking nonsense there, he didn't destroy his beautiful YY, he was going to lose if he lost, wouldn't people be allowed to fantasize about it themselves?
Just like Arsenal's victory over Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid really didn't give Chelsea any chance, and although Mourinho made several arrangements and adjustments, but under the huge disadvantage, Chelsea's players were inevitably impatient and eventually lost the game. Say goodbye to European competition this season.
In this way, the semi-finals of the Champions League have become a battle between Barcelona and Bayern Munich, as well as Real Madrid and Arsenal. It is a matter of pride that each of the four teams has a strong Chinese player as a starter. This has obviously aroused the attention of Chinese fans even more, and at present, it seems that the team led by Liang Zhao, the captain of the national team, and He Xu, the leading scorer of the national team, are the favorites. In contrast, Bayern Munich, which has only one Chinese player, seems to have become less supportive this time......
As Mourinho watched the Champions League semi-final from the comfort of his home, he felt he had to regroup next season. This is not where I should be, maybe I should have been on the hill and directing my players!
There have always been a few happy and some worried, Arsenal's players are proud at this time, they are still moving forward in the league, and Real Madrid's form and luck seem to have run out of form against Chelsea before. Although they can still create a lot of threats, Mariano. Arini shouted and blocked high and low, apparently letting Real Madrid's attacks all go into the sea.
In the middle of the league, He Xu's goals did not completely stop after that game, on the contrary, since the game against Chelsea, He Xu's teammates began to frantically feed their captain, this time, He Xu's goals reached a new high, has reached thirty-four! At the moment it looks like with two rounds left in the league with Diego. Costa should have a hard time catching up with him.
Real Madrid failed to beat Arsenal in the end, perhaps Ronaldinho found the feeling of his peak when facing Real Madrid, he almost turned that game into his own personal show, so that the Bernabeu once again burst into applause for him, Li Bo faced Arsenal in such a hot form, can only sigh.
In the end, Arsenal secured a ticket to the Champions League final.
After the game, Li Bo didn't forget to grab He Xu and said to him, "Brother! Remember to help me defeat that kid Liang Zhao, I think he is now simply going to taunt me as a daily routine! This can't be fueled! Looking at it now, Yang Ruiqi may have no choice, so it can only depend on you! ”
Li Bo was right, Barcelona defeated Bayern Munich 6-0 in the first leg, and if it weren't for Yang Ruiqi's several goal-line saves, the result might have been even worse than this.
He Xu nodded, this is not what he needs to think about now, the next league defense is the top priority at the moment...... (To be continued......)
