Chapter 317: Conflicting Moods

The game didn't go the way Mourinho feared.

Perhaps because of the two red cards shown by the referee just now, on the field, the movements of the players of both teams have converged a lot, although they are still small movements, but for a long time, there has been no high-risk defensive action like a back tackle.

For a professional player, being sent off in a game is a very serious punishment, and it is also very likely that he will be suspended for a few games if he moves too much. Especially for many players who have not yet established themselves in the team and whose main positions are not guaranteed, for them, every minute of the Champions League is extremely important.

For the Porto players alone, even if they lose the game, they may still reach the Champions League finals, and if they are suspended, then they will not be able to participate in the important finals competitions, which is really unacceptable to many people.

In that state of mind, the game was back to where it started, but the difference was that Porto's form became extremely passive, while Chelsea bombarded Porto's half.

At this time, Wang Li's role in Chelsea's attack is reflected.

When he wasn't playing, Chelsea relied on this semi-substitute line-up to draw with Porto, but once he came on, Chelsea's attack was much sharper and the players' responsibilities were evenly balanced.

At this time, the field was 10 to 10, and William, who was good at attacking in the backcourt. Gallas was a player on the wing, and in doing so, Chelsea became a 333 formation, which was a bit weak defensively, but it didn't show that at all in the actual game - there was a difference in mentality between the two teams!

In the group stage of Group H of the Champions League, Chelsea won the first five games with 15 points and already got the ticket to qualify in advance, but Porto is different, for them, as long as they hold on to one point in this game, they can let the team qualify, and rash attack, it is likely to create gaps for the opponent and concede goals, so they do their best to defend.

In this situation, the situation has become one-sided, and the Porto fans in the audience have been constantly dissatisfied, for most fans, the result is important, but the process is also quite important, in the Dragon Stadium, Porto turf, the game is played like this, they feel that the team has seriously 'lost face', and when Chelsea get the ball, the routine 'boo' has long since disappeared, perhaps because ' The fans who booed the whole game were tired, but more importantly, the situation on the field made them have no confidence to 'boo' their opponents.

Seeing this situation, Jose on the sidelines. Jose Mourinho was also relieved, but Porto coach Mr. Fernandez was secretly anxious.

The Spaniard's eyes were always on Wang Li, and he was afraid that he would be stunned for a moment, and this kid would score!

Fernandes knew very well that if the game went on like this, Chelsea would have scored, and it was probably the brunette who scored. It was only under the foul tactics just now that Porto were more likely to keep a draw, but this idea could not be made public, and he could only think silently in his heart, pacing back and forth on the sidelines, which reflected his current anxiety.

BBC TV commentator Mr. Smar also joked: "The Spaniard looks agitated. With Chelsea on the offensive, it will not be easy for Porto to hold on until the end of the game. ”

'In the Premier League right now, Chelsea are really outstanding, they are too strong in attack...... Oh!? Speaking of this, Lineker changed his words and said: "The opponent's head coach seems to be about to change his tactics, what is he going to do?" ”

On the sidelines, Fernandes watched Chelsea's smooth attacks and threatening Porto's goals again and again, and finally couldn't help but walk to the sidelines, wanting to tell his players to continue the tactics just now.

The UEFA Champions League is so important that even if you can't win the title, getting to the finals is directly related to the club's income and the influence of the team, and even if any player is injured because of it, it is definitely worth it.

However, it's too late!!

Just as Fernandes walked to the sidelines, Chelsea scored again!!

This time it was Wang Li, after receiving a pass from his teammates near the penalty line, he faced the rolling football is a strong long-range shot, directly blasted away Porto's goal, although the opponent's goalkeeper Nuno struggled to save, but the angle of the ball was too tricky, the ball flew into the king from Nuno's fingers, which made Porto's efforts for dozens of minutes come to naught!!

“gooooooal!!! Allan!!! At the same time, the BBC commentator Mr. Smar also took the case - "Alan . Wang, a brilliant long-range shot put Chelsea ahead of the scoreline!! It was also his 10th goal in the Champions League!! ”

"According to the data, since playing in the Premier League at Wolverhampton last year, Allen has scored every game, whether he is a starter or a substitute, and this efficiency has really terrified all opponents, and there is no doubt that he is now the top scorer in the whole of Europe!!"

At this time, Lineker was not willing to be lonely, he couldn't help but comment: "I am very optimistic about him, in the Premier League, he has scored 33 goals, maybe in a few days, the Premier League's single-season goal record will be broken, and he only took half a season, if this efficiency can be maintained, I think English football will be pinned on this young man." ”

"However, it's a shame that the Swede still didn't call him up for the national team." Speaking of this, Smar was clearly a little lost in his words.

Lineker smiled and joked: "If I were an FA official, I would definitely let Eriksen step down, this kind of striker can't play in the England team, it's really the biggest joke in world football." ”

……… At the same time, at the Parc des Princes in Paris, the final round of Group H between Paris Saint-Germain and CSKA Moscow was also underway.

“goal!!! ballondeserdanslefilet!! ”

There was a French roar from the headphones, which was heard by the manager of Paris Saint-Saint-Main, Halilozic, and even drowned out the shouts of the fans.

Obviously, this is the roar after the goal!!

This lifted his spirits and made him breathe a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face, and he slightly turned up the volume of his headphones while watching the game on the court.

"The ball is in!! It's Chelsea youngster Allen. Wang, who scored his 10th goal in the Champions League, will undoubtedly be the top scorer in this year's Champions League......"

'God forbid!! At this time, Halilozic couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart.

In Group H, Porto has three more points than Paris Saint-Germain, that is, if Porto loses this game and Paris Saint-Germain wins CSKA Moscow, then Saint-Saint-Germain can tie the points, and according to UEFA regulations, in the Champions League group stage, if there is a tie in points, then the qualification place will be determined by the results of the match, the difference in goals scored in the match, the goal difference between the matches, the goals scored in the away matches, the goals scored in the group and the goals scored in the group.

In the match between Paris Saint-Saint-Germain and Porto, the home and away scores are 1:2 and 2:0 respectively, and Paris Saint-Saint-Principal has an away goal advantage, which means that if the two teams have the same number of points, it must be Paris Saint-Saint-Main.

This season, in Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain's results have been terrible, and for Halilozic, the Champions League has become his last straw - "Thank you Alan!! ”

Thinking about these situations, Halilozic couldn't help but blurt out, and now he had completely forgotten the arrogant blue figure at the Parc des Princes two months ago.

Just as Halilozic turned his head with a smile on his face and was about to share the good news with the team's assistant coach Perdo, there was a 'boo' sound from the whole stadium, which startled him, and the moment he turned his head, he saw that the football was already bouncing in the goal of Paris Saint-Germain.

“oh,batard(**)!!” Harilozic jumped up in shock!

But this did not change the situation on the field, the bright red number on the scoreboard at the Parc des Princes has changed to '1:1', which made Halilozc's mood fall to the bottom again, he hurriedly sat down again, and watched the game on the field with a gloomy face, of course, at this time, CSKA Moscow was already celebrating the goal.

What the Bosnian didn't notice was that the assistant coach next to him, Perdo, saw his movements, a look of disdain flashed on his face, and at the same time he nagged in his mouth: "Waste! ”

There was a brief silence at the Dragon Stadium after Wang Li's goal, and it was obviously difficult for the Porto fans to accept the fact that the team went from leading to behind, so when the ball really flew into the goal, the whole stadium was quiet, and the Blues fans who reacted loudly cheered, although there were only more than 1,000 cheers, but in the quiet stadium, it was obviously very loud, and the Porto fans were holding their heads in their hands and sighing.

Many Chelsea fans opened their prepared beers to celebrate the goal, and many nearby fans hugged each other and cheered.

Wang Li's goal made them see the team's prospects, a bright future and the hope of winning the championship.

Historically, Chelsea's results have not been outstanding, many of them have been Blues fans for decades or even decades, and they have experienced a lot with this team, but the Premier League title and the Champions League are always out of reach, and last season's third place in the league was Chelsea's best result in nearly 50 years.

But with the quality and results of this year's squad, Chelsea seem to have touched the league trophy they haven't touched in 50 years, and they are also on high in the Champions League.

Now, many Blues fans are even starting to imagine how they will celebrate after winning more trophies!!

Premier League Champions!!

UEFA Champions League Champion!!

These, for the original Chelsea, are almost a dream-like existence!!

"Champion! Champion! Chelsea will be the champions! Score, score, Chelsea always score! The Blues fans began chanting from the stands.

……… After the game restarted, under the anxious command of coach Fernandez, Porto tried to use the attack to move back a goal, but let go of the attacking ability of Chelsea, which was not comparable to Porto at all, you know, the current Porto is not the champion team last season.

Porto's players knew that Chelsea were attacking and imposing, but they never knew they were so imposing, and that they were still maintaining the same attacking intensity while leading the way, which seemed a little unbelievable to them.

On the pitch, Porto striker McCarthy had just finished a cold shot, but the football was firmly held in Thomas's arms. McCarthy made 29 appearances for Porto last season, scoring 19 goals, and the South African was undoubtedly the top scorer in the entire Portuguese league.

Frank Lampard received a pass from Gallas and passed it to Wang Li, who ran forward with the ball two steps later, saw a hole in Porto and played a long pass directly to the edge of the penalty area, Drogba caught the pass, turned and burst into the box with his physical advantage to shoot, unfortunately the football went high.

But this kick also made Porto coach Fernandes on the sidelines break out in a cold sweat.

This attack was very fast, Thomas, Gallas, Lampard, Wang Li, Drogba, five people connected, 4 passes but only took about 10 seconds to threaten the goal guarded by Nuno, this is the real fast counterattack!!

This pace of counter-attacking has become a hallmark of Chelsea.

Although Mourinho's 433 counter-attacking formation has not played much of a role this season due to Chelsea's strength, in fact, almost all teams that have studied Chelsea will notice their defensive counter-attacking speed, which may also be the impact of Wang Li's arrival at Chelsea, of course, this is a good influence.

After many games of running-in and usual tactical training, Wang Li has become more and more accustomed to the position of the forward midfielder, and this adaptation has also made his attack more and more influential for Chelsea, and the team's style is also developing towards an attacking focus.

In reality, there is no inherent style of football at all.

Due to Abramovich's huge funds, Chelsea are spending money frantically in the transfer market, and the main squad of the entire team has almost been renovated, even if there was any style before, it is no longer there.

Therefore, as the core of the attack, Wang Li's style of play in the forward position has a great impact on the team. For Chelsea right now, it's not that Wang Li is adapting to the team, but the whole team is adapting to Wang Li, which may seem strange to others, but it is actually the case.

If in a small club, such as Wolverhampton, the manager will definitely consider changing tactics, because the club does not guarantee that this kind of player will still be retained next season, then the impact on the team after his departure must be profound. Jose Mourinho obviously doesn't think about that, and in his opinion, if a player like Wang Li leaves Chelsea, he will definitely leave, and then everything after Chelsea has nothing to do with him.

On the pitch, under Chelsea's sharp attack, Porto's attack quickly lost its sharpness, and they had to think more about the back, so the attacking intensity naturally decreased.

Now, they can only hope that Chelsea will make mistakes and get their chances.

……… In fact, Porto coach Fernandes, who is now on the sidelines, is the most confused in his mind.

On the one hand, he had just heard from his assistant coach that the other game had ended in a draw, which made him feel a little relieved, and on the other hand, the game was fast-moving, and this feeling of not being in control of the game made him very uncomfortable.

Therefore, Fernandes has been standing on the sidelines, hurriedly directing the team's attack.

But at the same time, he had to make the team more defensive, which was really busy, and even many of the Porto players on the pitch didn't know what to do.

With the 85th minute played, Chelsea's relentless attacking play finally paid off.

Wang Li dribbled the ball over the halfway line and passed the ball to the left side of the penalty area. Gallas received the ball diagonally and burst into the box, but was defended by Jorge. Costa went straight to the ground, and this time, the referee didn't hesitate to blow for the penalty!

The decision caused dissatisfaction among the Porto players, and the veteran Maniche continued to explain to the referee and insisted that Gallas was a fake fall, but the referee obviously only insisted on his own opinion, although Gallas did not fall to the ground, but he saw clearly just now that it was indeed a serious foul, and even he felt that not awarding Costa a red card was lenient enough.

In many people's minds, a penalty almost means a goal!

Who will take the penalty has become a topic of discussion among the Chelsea players, and in fact, the team's current number one set-piece is Wang Li, and after the referee made the decision, everyone in the team also looked at him.

But obviously, Wang Li doesn't want to play this goal, he feels that he has enough goals in his usual life, and one more Champions League goal is nothing, while the other players are different, which is very important for them. If this kind of opportunity is left to his teammates, at least he can get along with his teammates, and a goal is really nothing for Wang Li.

The relationship between the Chelsea players was really good, even though everyone wanted to take the penalty, but no one rushed to take it, and they humbled each other and finally pushed it to the captain John. Terry, Terry didn't shirk anymore, he walked directly to the penalty spot with the ball, ready to take a free throw.

Standing in front of the penalty spot, at the referee's whistle, Terry ran two steps and kicked the bottom edge of the football.

For this kind of close-range shot, the average goalkeeper can't predict the direction at all, and can only rely on his feelings, although the ball is in one direction, Nuno does the same, he chooses the left, and the ball flies into the Porto goal from the middle.

The score became 2:4.

……… After the game restarted, the Porto players were still attacking, but the whole team was no longer motivated, and even they themselves did not believe that the team could score two goals against Chelsea in the next few minutes.

Chelsea, on the other hand, are still in high spirits, and in this game, the team blossomed across the board. Duff, Wang Li, Scott. Parker, John. John Terry, it's fair to say that players on all three fronts have scored, but right now, they're still looking for a goalscoring opportunity.

Perhaps, now the Porto players can only pray to God to help them.

Unfortunately, they still lack luck.

The clock flew by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a stoppage time sign was held up on the sidelines, with a bright red '4' on it indicating that the game was going to have four minutes of stoppage time.

In the ninety-third minute, McCarthy had another good chance when Scott Chelsea attacked. Parker was dispossessed and then received a pass from a team-mate near the penalty area, perhaps because Chelsea had played too easily in the second half, or perhaps the two-goal lead didn't care about the counter-attack, when McCarthy was unguarded but the South African striker struck the ball over the crossbar...... Seeing that the ball didn't go in, McCarthy held his head in his hands again, his face was very tangled, but in fact, the ball had nothing to do with the overall situation.

The Chelsea fans in the audience were already standing up, waiting for the end of the game to celebrate the victory, while many Porto fans had already left the stadium early, and for them today's game was not a good memory.

Compared to last season, Porto's results this season are really far from the same.

On the pitch, the referee looked at his watch, waited for the second hand to point to the last moment, and after a while, he decisively blew the whistle for the end of the game.

'At full-time, Chelsea were victorious, and they qualified for the Champions League group stage with a winning record, which is undoubtedly a brilliant result!!'

"Congratulations!! Hopefully they can go further in the Champions Cup finals!! ”

At the end, Lineker also quipped: "Maybe it will go to the end, I hope it is, even though I'm not a Chelsea fan." ”

……… At this time, the big screen on the field pointed to Porto coach Fernandes.

Strangely, in the face of Porto's defeat, the Spaniard's face seemed to be very calm, yes, it was calm, and even some joy was revealed, which made everyone in the audience a little baffled.

After a while, the on-site commentator announced a piece of news that relieved everyone's doubts and re-excited the lost Porto fans - "Oh my God!! In the other group game, Paris Saint-Germain lost 1-2 at home to CSKA Moscow!! ”

There is no better news for Porto!!

In Group H, Porto have accumulated three more points than Parisian Germain and qualified hand in hand with Chelsea, and there is no doubt that this vigorous game has become completely meaningless, which makes Porto coach Fernandez happy but also depressed - because in the game, the team's new signing Diego was injured, which is absolutely a meaningless loss.

At this point, Fernandez didn't know what expression he should show to the public, and this feeling of losing the game and winning the right to qualify is indeed contradictory!!

Perhaps, Mr. Fernandez should be grateful to CSKA Moscow, a Russian team whose perseverance in the absence of qualifying not only earned face for themselves, but also gave Porto hope.
