Chapter 183: Drogba's maiden goal

Chelsea fans, the most important thing they want to see is a team score.

Chelsea's attacking quality up front has been poor in recent years, and even last season, when Chelsea brought in Argentine top scorer Crespo, it didn't change much, as evidenced by Jose Mourinho's arrival at Chelsea and his loan move to AC Milan.

Although Abramovic has spent a lot of money in the past two years of transfers, most of the famous goalscorers on the front line have rejected Chelsea, which makes Chelsea's forward line the weakest link of the team, and fans are also very worried about this, so Abramovich has always wanted to get AC Milan's nuclear warhead - Shepchenko!

Only this kind of efficient striker can solve Chelsea's forward problems!!

Wang Li, of course, is also an efficiency striker. But when he first arrived at Chelsea, the fans didn't have much hope, after all, he is just a young player, even if he performs well, he is likely to fall like many new stars, and besides, in a star-studded team like Chelsea, the manager will not build tactics around him, so it is worth pondering how much he can play.

Chelsea's midfield is truly talented and extraordinary, and the team's defensive prowess is comparable to that of the top teams in Serie A. Therefore, as long as the team can open the scoring and score a goal, their probability of winning will increase by at least 30%.

After a hat-trick in 40 minutes in the warm-up game and a stunning strike in the open-up, Chelsea fans were immediately excited – and from now on, they probably won't have to worry about Chelsea's attacking problems!!

After Chelsea celebrated the goal, the referee's mouth blew a 'beep' whistle and Birmingham City restarted.

Bruce on the sidelines was in a hurry, the game was only 10 minutes, but now the team is already behind, and the opponent is the quasi-giant Chelsea team, how to play the next game?!! If you attack now, it will definitely give the opponent another chance to score, and if you concede another goal, there will be no suspense in the game.

"Hey!!" Bruce couldn't help but sigh, walked to the side of the court, and waved his hand to signal the team not to rush to attack, but to strengthen the defense first. Only by holding on to the first half will it be possible to tie the score in the second half.

In the next 20 minutes, Wang Li's performance was still remarkable, he has been receiving teammates on the right side of the penalty area, and then hoisting the ball into the penalty area to create a scoring opportunity for Drogba.

It is worth mentioning that Frank Lampard is not the best player in the Premier League for two consecutive years, with him in front of the command, so that Chelsea both defensive and offensive have been raised a notch, every time the Birmingham team counterattacked, just after halftime, it was directly tackled.

Since the start of the game, Lampard has made four successful interceptions and three shots, two of which came close to being goals. And in Chelsea's attack, Frank Lampard has been the initiator of the attack many times, he has a good big picture, a keen insight, and every pass seems to find a weak point in Birmingham's defence.

With strong teammates, Wang Li's performance is even more like a fish in water, which is completely different from when he was in Wolverhampton.

Last season, when he played for Wolverhampton, he was almost single-handedly responsible for scoring goals against some mid-table Premier League teams, which made him a lot of popularity, but more of a helpless, lonely pressure.

But at Chelsea, he doesn't have to worry about passing and receiving the ball in midfield, and his team-mates will provide him with support from midfield, so that he can feel comfortable looking for good opportunities to score goals. To sum up, on the court, Wang Li's main task now is to kick the door, and the rest of the work is done by his teammates.

Under Jose Mourinho's leadership, Chelsea are now like a sophisticated machine, with each player doing their own job, so Wang Li knows what he needs to do, and of course his performance is much more active!

………… In the face of a huge disparity in strength, hard work will always pay off.

In the 36th minute, Frank Lampard made a scalpel-like pass to the feet of Geremi on the left side of the box, who did not stop the ball, but pushed it directly against the incoming ball, and the ball quickly rolled past the feet of the two defenders towards the small penalty line.

At the moment of Geremi's pass, Drogba suddenly shook off the defender and ran towards the goal, in the run, he was dragged hard by the opposing team, making his body a little unbalanced, but the fierce Drogba took a big step with his right leg, or barely completed the shot, but unfortunately, the ball was rushed to make up for the goalkeeper Mike, who struggled to save the bottom line, and England won a corner kick on the right side.

23-year-old Joe. Cole, last season, was a substitute for Chelsea. It's not because of his quality, it's that Ranieri doesn't know his best position, how to make his game the most dangerous and how to integrate him into the overall style of the team, but after Mourinho's arrival, he got his chance, maybe that's the difference in coaching quality.

In the impression of Chelsea fans, Joe. Cole is a skilled left-sided player who is one of the few players in the England squad to break through with a technical dribble.

However, what many people don't know is that Joe. Kerr also has a very sharp free-kick technique and his passing is very accurate! When he played for Western Union Ham, fans saw him as a hopeful star, and in the game, he scored three goals for the team with free-kicks.

After coming to Chelsea, perhaps it was the suppression of many superstars that caused him to have no room to play at all, and when he saw this corner, he took the initiative to go to the right corner point, ready to take the penalty.

Wang Li stood in the big forbidden area and asked Qiao. Cole waved his hand and stealthily pointed outward with his right hand. In the Chelsea team, Joe. Cole and Wang Li have known each other for a long time, so when he saw this action, he immediately smiled and nodded, indicating that he understood.

Under the gaze of the fans in the stadium, Joe. Cole took a few steps back, then ran two small steps, followed up, and kicked the ball diagonally underneath!!

He didn't choose to hoist the ball into the box!!

It took a second for the Birmingham players to react that it was a tactical corner, but it was too late!!

The ball flew past a Birmingham player in a low arc and landed exactly on the right side of the box!

And Wang Li is in Joe. When Kerr swings his foot, he runs away from the defender to that point! He trusts Joe a lot. Cole's footwork!

Stop, turn, volley!!

Coherent!!

"Bang!" With a bang, the football hit the right post directly and bounced into the small penalty area.

Wang Li was stunned, but before he could react, he heard a whistle of "beep ......" from the referee's mouth!!

The ball went in!?

There was chaos in the penalty area just now, and after Wang Li shot, he didn't see what happened clearly, but the fans in the audience explained everything for him!!

"Didier!!" "Pretty!!" "Well done!!"

The Chelsea fans in the stands on the southeast side of the stadium burst into a burst of excited shouts.

At this time, the slow-motion replay on the big screen told what had just happened: after the football hit the goalpost, it bounced into the small penalty area, and there were too many people in the small penalty area, and almost everyone was a little flustered.

But Drogba still seized the opportunity, after the ball hit a Birmingham defender, after landing, Drogba stretched out his foot and rubbed his back heel when his body was unstable, and the ball rolled directly over the goal line!! Goalkeeper Mike was completely unresponsive, he didn't even know where the ball was!?

Of course, even if he sees it, it is estimated that Mike is powerless...... "gooooooo It was Didier Drogba, the Ivory Coast beast, who scored his first Premier League goal!! Look at the replay on the big screen, how vicious his expression was at the moment he scored, and he was not worthy of being a man known as 'Warcraft'!! "On Sky TV, there was that roar againβ€”" from Joe. Cole makes free throws, Allen. The king's turnaround volley, and then Drogba's follow-up shot! Chelsea's tacit cooperation is vividly vivid, this bloody reborn team is already on the road to the giants, they are unbeatable!! The narrator seemed to be overwhelmed with excitement.

However, Chelsea fans love to hear this kind of passionate commentary!!

The main reason is that this commentator is obviously a pure Chelsea fan!! Same with them!!

At this time, the big camera was given to Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho on the sidelines, and a smile flashed on the calm face of this 'madman', and it seemed that he was very satisfied with the current situation on the field.

Jose Mourinho was satisfied, he didn't expect it to go so smoothly before the game started, in his mind's mind it should have been 1-0, and yes, he didn't have much confidence in the attacking quality of the team.

Wang Li's outstanding performance was completely unexpected by Mourinho!! He didn't expect this brunette kid to be so good!!

However, this kind of surprise, it is estimated that all coaches in the world will not refuse...... After Chelsea scored the second goal, they still seemed to be dissatisfied, their attack played more fluidly, and Birmingham City coach Bruce on the sidelines intended to play a counter-attack, but Chelsea's defense must not be underestimated! Many times, the ball is cut off before it reaches the penalty area!

However, in the meantime, Birmingham still had two shots on goal, but they were not threatening. It also gave the already lethargic Cech on the pitch room to play – even if he only touched the ball...... Even the anchor of Sky TV couldn't help but joke: "In this game, the gap between the two sides is too big, Peter seems to have become a superfluous person, he should bring a music player before he plays... Well, if the referee agrees......"
