Winning the Carabao Cup will give Chelsea a sigh of relief as the intense fixture schedule is finally over. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

March was the easiest month since the start of the Premier League, with only three league games, an FA Cup and a Champions Cup to play, which is much easier than the usual density of six or seven games a month.

While the media was still arguing about Chelsea's 'refusal to be interviewed' incident, on February 28, the best coach, best player and best team for February were announced.

Chelsea didn't play too well in the league in February, drawing one of their three league games, so this time Jose. Jose Mourinho was not voted Manager of the Month, but the usually low-key Middlesbrough boss McClaren won the honour with three wins. The award for the best player went to Manchester United centre-forward Van Van Brown, who had just returned. Nistrooy has been unanimously praised by all the media for his excellent performance of six goals in three league games.

However, Chelsea don't care about the accolade, and since the start of the season, the best coach and best player have been the best Chelsea players, and it is really nothing to give it to another team once.

In the best team of the Premier League in February selected by the media, Chelsea is still a bumper harvest, Wang Li, Lampard, Gallas, Makelele, Thomas 5 have been selected, which occupies almost half of the sky, so that all Premier League teams have to admit Chelsea's strength.

Thomas. Clarke was also named to the All-Star team for the first time, which made him excited, and now in the big Chelsea game, head coach Jose Clarke. Jose Mourinho tends to put more trust in the experienced Peter. Petr, after all, all the games except the league are knockout rounds, and there is no room for loss.

In a league that doesn't matter to Chelsea, Thomas has always been given his chances, and it's clear that Mourinho is doing so to gauge the quality of these two men and make the right choices at the end of the season.

"Oh my God, Thomas, you've made the All-Star team!!"

In the Chelsea FC restaurant, Wayne, who has just recovered from a cold. Bridget ran over with a newspaper in hand.

On a small table in the middle, Wang Li and Thomas were eating the nutritious meal prepared by the club one-on-one, and both of them did not look very good, mainly because the nutritious meal was too difficult to swallow.

“what？ Wayne, have you eaten? Let's eat a little together. Thomas didn't pay attention to what Brigitte said, but with a smile he pulled a seat next to him and put it beside him, and said with a sincere expression on his face, which was really unbearable to refuse.

Hearing this, Bridget pinched the newspaper in his hand, waved his hand and said, "No!! no！！ Don't even think about it, let's enjoy it slowly. ”

Wang Lileng looked at Brigitte and said with a wry smile: "It seems that I will get sick next time." ”

"Don't!! If you're sick, I think it's even worse, the Portuguese might call in all the doctors in London, and you'll not just have a nutritious meal. Bridget said with a wicked smile on his face.

Imagine that kind of scene, Wang Li felt that what Bridget said was very likely, his important surname in the club was undoubted, and the trick of pretending to be sick would definitely not work, he suddenly remembered what Bridget had just said, raised his head and reached out to grab the newspaper, and said, "What did you just say?" ”

"Oh, yes, Thomas, you've been named in the Premier League Team of the Month."

"The best team? You said...... I? Thomas stopped eating, looked up and pointed to himself and asked.

Wang flicked the newspaper with his hand and said, "Really, Thomas, you should have a great meal!" ”

"Click!" Thomas raised his hand and snatched the newspaper in Wang Li's hand, but at this time, the newspaper could not bear the torture, and it was torn open from the middle, Thomas looked at the corner of his hand excitedly, and said, "Sure enough, there is me, hehehehe......"

The obscene smile on his face made the two people next to him break out in a cold sweat.

………… Ever since Chelsea scored twice at the Camp Nou, the Barcelona have been dreaming of revenge in London, so in March, the Spanish media couldn't wait to start building momentum for Barcelona, with the headline 'Revenge' to attract the attention of fans.

The Barcelona players have also publicly expressed their refusal to admit defeat, and they attribute the reasons for the loss to many objective aspects of 'carelessness', 'too many injuries', 'not knowing the opponent', 'bad luck' and so on.

In this case, they played a very hazy game, and it was pure luck that led to the loss.

However, having played each other in the first leg, they already have a comprehensive understanding of the top and bottom of Chelsea, and they will never make the mistake of underdog again, and everything will change after the familiar White Hart Lane. They only need a 3-0 win to have any hopes of qualifying and progressing to the quarter-finals.

After 5 consecutive years of slump, Barcelona is always imagining the glory of the team, and the Champions League is the best stage to show the team, before the game against Chelsea, many media even called the current Barcelona a dream team, this kind of big toution, if directly in the Champions League round of 16 qualifiers, it is obviously not acceptable to Barcelona.

If you talk about the history of the Champions League, although Barcelona has only won 2 titles, they are obviously much more brilliant than Chelsea, if you talk about the history of the league, the two teams have nothing to compare, Barcelona has always been a strong contender for the La Liga title, and what is Chelsea!? In this season, it can only be regarded as an upstart, with no results, no foundation, how can such a team be compared to Barcelona!?

Under this public opinion, the Barcelona club is united in a battle of revenge at Stamford Bridge!!

In London, there is a relaxed atmosphere at Chelsea Football Club, which has just won the Carabao Cup and has been doing very well in the other thirds, so there is no reason to be nervous.

This relaxed atmosphere also affected the team's performance.

On March 6, in the 29th round of the English Premier League, Chelsea went to Norwich City to challenge the Premier League promoted team Norwich City away.

Norwich is the central city of the East Anglia region of the United Kingdom, and two hundred years ago it was the second largest city in England after London. It is located in the far east of England, adjacent to a scenic seaside and surrounded by the UK's largest wetland reserve (thebroad), which is recognised as the greenest city in the UK. Norwich is also recognised as one of the most liveable and attractive cities in the UK, and is known as a 'finecity'.

But a beautiful city does not represent the strength of the team, as a promoted team, Norwich is still facing a relegation crisis, the strength of this team can be imagined.

This game was followed by a confrontation with Barcelona, so Mourinho just put out a substitute lineup, but even so, Chelsea still won a complete victory, Gudjanssen, Joe. Cole, William. Gallas scored a goal each and the blossoming of the third line was a delight for all Blues fans who came with the team.

After this game, the whole Chelsea team returned to London to prepare for the second leg of the European quarter-finals at Stamford Bridge, and even though Chelsea already had a two-goal advantage on away goals, they still had to play 12 points seriously against the world's top giants Barcelona, who are known for their attack.

Barcelona also arrived in London the day before the game, and they rushed to Stamford Bridge to warm up that afternoon, which shows that Rijkaard is bound to win this game.

In order to recover two goals, Rijkaard made some adjustments to Barcelona's lineup, and in the all-attacking and defensive formation, the back line retreated slightly, which was mainly to prevent Chelsea from counterattacking. Due to the return of Andres Iniesta and Gerrard from injury, veterans Albertini and Giuli did not get another chance to start, and at the back, Oleg also replaced Marquis as a central defender, which is very close to Barcelona's main lineup at the beginning of the season, which is probably another reason why Barcelona is full of confidence.

However, Barcelona has not changed much in terms of formation and tactics, and the reason why this world's top club is chased by many fans is because they can play pleasing football, and Barcelona, which is based on possession, has always adhered to the traditional style of play of 442 or 433, and they mainly use possession to tear apart Chelsea's defense and try to find opportunities to score.

Of course, these are the problems that the head coach needs to consider, it is the game between the two coaches, and the real game has little to do with it, anyway, football is still played with both feet, and when it comes to the real game, it still depends on the performance of both sides, even if there is a tactical advantage, in the real battle, there may not be an advantage.

Even Blues fans have to admit that Barcelona football is very good-looking, their players are much better at passing the ball than Premier League teams, and there are always some creative ways to pass in attack, which makes the game even more watchable.

Of course, these have nothing to do with the result of the game, Barcelona want to win Chelsea in one fell swoop, they need to score at least three goals, and they can't let Chelsea score, they need to take care of too much, so the attack is not smooth at Camp Nou.

However, perhaps Barcelona's luck was much better in this game than last time, and in the 11th minute, Ronaldinho shook two Chelsea defenders in quick succession, and a very creative back-heel allowed Andres Iniesta, who started the game, to open the scoring with a low shot from seven yards out of goal.

After the goal, the whole stadium was booed, and these Blues fans wanted to boycott Barcelona in this way, but in fact, they were not feeling good at this time, knowing that it was the first time since the start of the season that they had seen a team play so passively at home.

Seeing the team's goal, Barcelona coach Rijkaard, who was on the sidelines, couldn't hold back the joy in his heart and hugged Gyuli on the bench next to him. Now that Barcelona have scored a goal, as long as they score another goal, then the two teams will be on a level again, which makes Rijkaard see the hope of advancing again, how can he not be happy.

However, after the resumption of the game, Chelsea did not seem to be affected by the goals conceded, but instead defended more solidly, and the Barcelona players have been looking for opportunities near midfield, but it has been difficult.

In this case, many people, including Blues fans, thought that Chelsea wanted to hold on to the scoreline, and as long as they held it until full-time, then Chelsea would be able to advance with the first leg, much to Rijkaard's confusion, which he felt was a trap.

But Barcelona don't have much to do, they are on the underdog, even if it is a trap, they can only attack.

It's a race against the clock, with Barcelona having to secure their position with a second goal before Chelsea can make a difference, and if they can score two goals, then the two teams are on the same level and Rijkaard can go head-to-head with Jose Mourinho without worrying about Chelsea's petty machinations.

At this time, all the Barcelona players were in high spirits, and they seemed to have seen the hope of victory, but alas, they lost this race.

It was a passing error, and the starter Eduar. Gudjanssen cut off the ball directly from the halfway line and handed it to Wang Li to attack, and he himself made a quick run to Barcelona's half.

Wang Li did not disappoint all the fans, he single-handedly connected three Barcelona defenders, and finally in the penalty area, and Gudjanssen passed the ball three times in a row, making goalkeeper Valdés very brainless, and finally, Wang Li gently pushed the ball to equalize for Chelsea.

In fact, this goal did not have much impact on Barcelona's situation, and they could still have won directly if they had scored two more goals. However, the impact on the momentum cannot be ignored, in the case of their own side just scored a goal, the opponent easily returned a goal, how easy is it to score two more goals!? This is not a basketball game.

However, Barcelona has been forced to a dead end, in addition to stabilizing the lineup and continuing to attack more frantically, they really don't have a choice, but once they choose to attack, like the big picture attack in the last game, then the defense will be empty, but in this case, they can't take care of it.

However, there must be gaps in the attack, especially in a team like Barcelona that tears up the defense with passes, and the players are bound to make mistakes between passes, and before the game, Mourinho's tactics are fundamental to play counter-attacks.

In the 37th minute of the game, Barcelona made another passing error, this time it was Wang Li who was standing in the center circle.

After winning the ball, he kicked the ball to Joe. Cole, on his own, raced to Barcelona in the half, and after receiving the ball at the edge of the penalty area, he shook off Van Bronckhorst with a simple change of direction, and then faced Valdés's attack, he lightly fired a shot for Chelsea to score another goal, and the score became 2-1.

This goal even made the Barcelona players a little desperate!! If they want to win, then they have to score 3 more goals!! With only half time remaining, it was almost impossible to score three goals at Stamford Bridge.

However, the Barcelona fans in the stands did not despair, they still cheered fiercely for the team.

With this encouragement, Barcelona finally got back into the game before the end of the first half with another goal from Ronaldinho, and the score became 2-2 draw.

The shot was so beautiful that even Graham, an absolute Chelsea supporter, exclaimed: "Ronaldinho!!" Ronaldinho!! This foot is beautiful, he is so good!! This attack gave them hope again, and although I didn't want to, there was a lot of suspense in the game!! ”

The goal also gave the Barcelona players a bit of confidence back and they returned to the visitors' dressing room full of fighting spirit to prepare for the second half.

At half-time, Jose Mourinho asked the Chelsea players to be sure to stabilize their defence first, and added an additional player in midfield to block the midfield, put pressure on Barcelona, increase their mistakes, and find counter-attacking opportunities for Chelsea.

And Rijkaard's request for Barcelona is simple: attack!! Offensive!! Or offense!!

There is no way back for them now.

In the 56th minute of the game, Barcelona, who attacked aggressively, scored another goal, which excited all Barcelona supporters, because as long as they scored a goal, the qualification for promotion was in hand. And now Chelsea, under Barcelona's big attack, seems to have become a toothless tiger, and can only cower in their own nest.

So, the morale of all their players is high!!

One Ball!!

Just one more goal!!

However, it seems that Chelsea are not in a mess on the field, the team is still sticking to the opening tactics, in fact, after so many games, all the Chelsea players have found the backbone on the pitch, that is Wang Li, as long as Wang Li is still on the field, they believe that the final winner will be Chelsea.

In fact, in the 71st minute, Wang Li stepped up and calmed the hearts of all Chelsea supporters with a ferocious long-range shot, and also told Barcelona: Your efforts are meaningless, and it is Chelsea who wins in the end!!

Sky TV's Graham shouted: "Goal!! It's Alan again!! He scored a hat-trick!! ”

The pressure is back on Barcelona.

If you want to win, you have to score two goals in the next game, but there are less than 20 minutes left in the game, and it is too much to score two goals in such a short period of time.

Just when the Barcelona players were at a loss, Chelsea took advantage of a missed opportunity to play a steady attack. The combination of Kerr and Gallas put on a brilliant and fluid combination for the fans, and under the cover of Gallas, Joe Gallas. Cole's calmly cross gave Gudjanssen a chance, who got ahead of Puyol and poured the ball into the Barca goal, which also turned the last bit of Barca's morale into dust.

Barcelona played very hard in the final game and they did not seem to give up their last bit of hope, but the effort did not always lead to success, and with the Blues' cheerful singing and the referee's whistle, the score was fixed at 4-3 and the attacking battle at Stamford Bridge was over.

In the tears of many Barcelona players, the Chelsea players enjoyed the joy of promotion, as soon as the whistle sounded, Mourinho, who had been sitting in the coach's seat with Erlang's legs, stood up directly and picked up his arm, this scene was photographed by many reporters, they can imagine how excited the Portuguese are at this time!!

"Chelsea!! Chelsea!! 6:3 over two legs, they defeated Barcelona to advance to the quarterfinals!! They are one step further on the road to the Champions League!! ”
