Chapter 284: Gone forever
Chelsea's seven-minute goal set the pitch boiling over Stamford Bridge and the Blues fans in the stands were thrilled, and the fact that the team were able to score in such a short space of time in the first home game of the new Champions League seemed to be a sign that Chelsea were still doing well in the Champions League.
Although Chelsea's goals have been going on and on lately, the fans will never be satisfied, and they can't wait for the team to score one minute at a time.
"Alan!!"
"Our Dancing Prince!!"
"Super shot!!"
…… In the audience, there was a cheer, which made the atmosphere of the audience reach a **, and the commentator Creed, who was in the anchor room, also adjusted the atmosphere in a timely manner: "What is the score now!?" Chelsea—"
"One!!"
"CSKA Moscow!?"
"Zero!!"
'We need a couple more goals !?'
When this sentence was asked, the answers were not neat, some said 3, some said 4, and some said 10, and the fans in the audience laughed themselves.
Amid the laughter of tens of thousands of Blues fans in the audience, the CSKA Moscow players on the pitch did not feel angry, but had a feeling of envy.
CSKA Moscow has not had its own stadium for all these years, and CSKA is currently the only team in the last 32 of the UEFA Champions Cup to borrow a stadium to play.
The club's Old Stadium on Shajie Street in the north of Moscow has only two stands and can only accommodate 10,000 people, which is far from meeting the requirements of European competitions, so it is basically abandoned in normal times. CSKA generally rents the Dynamo and Luzniki stadiums in the domestic leagues, while in European competitions they rent the Lokomotiv home stadium. But rents aren't cheap, with an annual rent of $800,000 for a pitch.
It is worth mentioning that in April this year, under the coordination and efforts of Russian Defense Minister Ivanov, the Russian Federal State Assets Management Agency agreed to CSKA to rebuild a standard stadium capable of accommodating 30,000 to 35,000 people on Sand Street in the north of Moscow. The cost of building the stadium was estimated at 120 million euros.
However, CSKA Moscow still doesn't have its own stadium, so even at their home stadium, it is difficult to have so many fans come to watch the game, let alone these fans who are all wearing the home team's uniforms and cheering on the team all the time.
The atmosphere in the Russian league is obviously too far from the English league.
……… On the pitch, captain John Brown ran over from the backfield to celebrate. Terry and Wang Li hugged each other, and said with a jealous face: "Alan, you can't always score goals, give me one." ”
John. Terry is particularly envious of these players who can score, although he is the captain of the team and a defender, but because of this, he has no chance to score, you know, even Brigi has scored two goals this season, and Terry, who has a good header ability, has not scored any goals.
Wang Li smiled and said, "Then you have to insert an assist, otherwise you won't have a chance to enter!" ”
"It's decided, I'll ask Makelle to pay attention to the back line in a while, and I'll go forward a few times, and then don't be stingy." Terry patted Wang Li on the shoulder and said jokingly.
At this point, the most resentful were Didier Drogba and Gudjanssen, two of Chelsea's tank-level players up front, one of whom failed to take his chance at the start of the game, and the other who 'conceded' the opportunity to Wang Li, but both failed to score.
Especially Didier. Didier Drogba, the Man of Monster, has not been able to score since he scored five goals in the third round of the league and has been unable to score due to various problems, and many Blues fans are questioning the Ivorian quality.
Of course, this is just a performance phenomenon, in fact, Drogba's deterrence in the front court is unmatched, that big man and menacing face, looking at him makes people think that he is a time bomb, even if his surname is very gentle............... Chelsea took the lead seven minutes into the game, much to the headache of CSKA Moscow manager Gazaev. He wasn't unaware of the situation before the game, and he was well aware of how strong Chelsea were at the top of the Premier League with a winning record, but as the situation now goes, he still underestimated the attacking quality of this team.
From the beginning to the present, in 7 minutes, 2 consecutive attacks, the opponent easily penetrated the team's defense, and made two excellent shooting opportunities, this offensive ability really made Gazaev speechless, especially the opponent's No. 21 kid who needs attention, almost regarded the defender as nothing, at least until now there has been no mistake.
After a few minutes of play, the Russian has already seen that the pre-match media evaluation is correct, whether it is technology, coordination, creativity, the two teams have no comparable surname.
Now, how do you play when the team is behind? Despite Gazaev's headaches, he has no plans to change his tactics yet, as he had already decided before the game to play against Chelsea, and he had to play against Chelsea to win, and now that the score is behind, it is even more important to attack.
Therefore, the big screen showed that the Russian was sitting firmly on the bench without any movement, and this calmness also made the players of CSKA Moscow a little relieved.
That's another kind of presence for the head coach.
……… After the restart, CSKA Moscow's formation remained unchanged, and they still adopted a large-scale attacking approach.
Both teams used attacking tactics, which made for a lot of excitement in the game.
Chelsea.
Led by Frank Lampard, the midfielder William Murphy was led by defender William. Gallas, Frank Lampard and Dutch teenager Alking. Arjen Robben was always able to play a good game, and the Blues fans who watched were pleasantly surprised.
On the front field, Wang Li's passing is still sharp, he frequently breaks through in the middle, and every action that is unbelievable for ordinary players has been used on the pitch, which makes the players of CSKA Moscow deeply feel the technical gap, even if they try their best to defend, it is difficult to have any impact on Chelsea's attack.
Of course, Chelsea's imagination is also rich when it comes to link-ups, especially in front of Eduar. Gudjanssen, Drogba and Wang Li cooperate in a small area in the penalty area, and always make short passes from under the noses of the opponent, which is thrilling and full of football art, which is even more pleasing to the eye.
Although they have not been able to find a good chance to score since the seventh minute, the Blues fans have been enjoying the art of football and they are not bored at all.
CSKA Moscow.
Even though the team doesn't have any superstars and is much worse than Chelsea, the team's attack has been smooth under Gazaev's leadership.
Even though Chelsea have Claude at the back. Makellele, Frank. Frank Lampard, John. Terry's three iron men, but CSKA Moscow's offense can still be called sharp, and their 343 formation really played at a good level.
In the fourth minute after Chelsea's goal, the forward line led by No. 11 Love directly penetrated the Chelsea defense through cooperation, No. 17 striker Krasic went straight into the penalty area on the wing, and No. 8 Gusevf followed up with a volley from the middle, shocking the Blues fans in the audience into a cold sweat!
……… After a short period of tentative battle, it was already clear to the Chelsea players that the core of the opposing attack was the big man Yevgeny. According to the club's pre-match information, Aldonin was the best newcomer in the Russian league in 2002 and has since occupied the position of the main midfielder of the national team, and he has also been dubbed the "iron man" by fans because he rarely misses games.
In the minds of the Chelsea players, Aldonen must have belonged to and Frank. Frank Lampard has the same type of midfielder.
But this view is wrong, as Aldonen's feet are much more delicate than Lampard's, at least in the first 10 minutes he has done a few fancy maneuvers on his bike.
The game went to the 23rd minute.
CSKA Moscow's offensive.
Yevgeny. After a one-two with the backfielders, Aldonen shook off Frank Lampard's entanglement in the middle of the pitch with two successive changes of direction before passing to Zerkov on the wing.
A thin but fast left winger, he is a very light player and has a great big-picture vision that few players of this type have, and he is the representative of the new generation of players in the Russian national team. Robben left behind.
By this time, CSKA Moscow's attack had already crossed the halfway line, and after being intercepted by Makelele, Ryrkov kicked the ball directly to Cavalho, who was inserted in the middle, who in turn turned to the midfielder Aldonin.
On this occasion, Aldonin showed his strength as the commander of the team. When Terry ran over for a steal, he turned to protect the ball and slowly carried it forward, and then, inadvertently, an imaginative back-heel knock, the ball rolled between Terry's legs, straight across the penalty line, and to the feet of striker Krasic.
Milos. Krasic is a Serbian player, he has just been preparing for the 20-year-old, the youngster plays as a right forward, known as Sevilla's most potential rising star, and this time, he made a contribution to CSKA Moscow. In Johnson's entanglement, he suddenly fell to the ground and slid to shoot with a light movement!!
This made the starting goalkeeper Thomas. Clark couldn't react at all, he only had time to make a save to the left, but the ball was already in the net.
'The ball went in ......, Chelsea's defense didn't do a good job this time, Johnson was a little negligent, oh my God, let's take a look at the youngster's name.' Seeing the opponent's goal, Creed said a little disappointed.
"Milos. Krasic, the 20-year-old youngster, who helped CSKA Moscow get back on the scoresheet, is incredible, what a wonder boy, I don't know if he's coming to Chelsea next season, I'm sure Mr Mourinho will be interested in that kind of amazing youngster. ”
Seeing that the team finally scored a goal, Gazaev, who had just smiled, heard the words of the radio room, and no longer had any excitement, he was as disgusting as eating a fly!!
But in reality, the head coach Jose on the Chelsea bench. Mr. Mourinho didn't feel anything.
In Europe, strikers with this skill are really a big catch, and it's nothing to score a goal once in a while. With the backstage of Russia's big money Mr. Abou, Chelsea need a quality star of the playing year, not a potential new star who can't find a place even if they come to Chelsea.
……… It can be seen that the equaliser at Stamford Bridge was very exciting for these CSKA Moscow players, and they did have a reason to be excited about the gap between the two teams, especially Milos, who had just scored a goal. Krasic, who was surrounded by his team-mates and asked what it was like to score a Chelsea goal, kept giggling and Krasic himself seemed a little incredulous.
Although CSKA Moscow equalised, there were only a few hundred Russian fans in the stadium, which was nothing compared to the tens of thousands of Blues fans.
This made the CSKA Moscow players want to celebrate, but they can't feel any atmosphere, so there is no need for the referee to urge them, and the players of both teams quickly get back into their positions, and the game resumes.
After the equaliser, Chelsea's attack was more hearty, the players seemed to be unaffected, the coordination was still fluid, and the attack was still solid.
In the first wave of the restart of the game, winger Altyn . Arjen Robben made a through pass into the box and let Edul. Gudjanssen had a good chance as he took a few quick steps along the line of the box and volleyed from a tight angle that was blocked by defender No.2 Senbras.
Less than two minutes later, Chelsea attacked again, Wang Li went directly to the line of the penalty area after connecting two people in the midfield, looked at the opposing players too densely, did not choose to shoot from a distance but rubbed the ball into the penalty area, the monster Didier. Drogba found the right moment to jump up and flick his head at the goal, but was pounced on by goalkeeper Achinfef.
After the first 20 minutes of tentative attack, as Chelsea's attack became more and more ferocious, CSKA Moscow's 343 formation was difficult to resist, except for a counter-attack launched by the goalkeeper in the 29th minute to pick up Wang Li's header, they played more and more backwards, and they were about to be unable to resist.
……… In the 36th minute of the first half, after Wang Li and Frank Lampard made a one-two, they directly stepped up to the Limbo microwave past the opponent's No. 7 midfielder Cavalho and rushed towards the heart of CSKA Moscow again.
After these 30 minutes of play, the opponent increased the defensive intensity, so Wang Li's solo attack with the ball immediately provoked the interception of many defenders, and at this time, Wang Li's dribbling ability was revealed.
I saw a funny and ridiculous scene on the field, 3 Russian men were played by a black-haired boy on the field, they rushed up angrily to snatch the black-haired boy's football, but twice in a row the latter was not allowed to play, from the gap that ordinary people are not aware of the ball rushed out, and even No. 18 Zirkov's angry direct tackle was easily dodged by the black-haired boy.
Of course, it didn't last long, as Wang Li got the ball to Frank Lampard, who was cut in in the middle of the 'hard' situation, knowing that it would be a waste of attacking time to dribble and it would be difficult to get rid of the entanglement of the back three.
Because Wang Li attracted a lot of attention, so after Lampard won the ball, the opposing defenders were a little stunned, and only then did they react to defend, but it was too late by this time, after Lampard got the ball, in the absence of defense, swung his right foot is a powerful volley - the ball crossed a straight line in the air and quickly flew into the net.
Goalkeeper Achinfev simply couldn't do anything.
“goooooooooooooooooal!!!”
"Frank. Frank Lampard!! It was his second goal in this year's Champions League, one goal at a time, and he is one of Chelsea's most trusted players. Every season, he has been solid and he scored again when Chelsea equalised!! ”
Frank Lampard was also delighted after scoring and as Chelsea have been on a rampage to add players up front this season, his forward line has been greatly strengthened, and as a midfielder, he has naturally scored a lot of goals. It was his third goal for Chelsea this season and is indeed a cause for celebration.
At this time, CSKA Moscow head coach Gazaev on the sidelines was also uncomfortable, the team finally equalized, but only 10 minutes later, he was overtaken again, which made him feel a little powerless, and now, he can only silently pray in his heart that the team can still score.
……… However, Gazaev is obviously not related to God's old man, and the strength of CSKA Moscow's players is really limited, so the situation on the pitch has not changed much since the game resumed.
Chelsea continued to maintain this attacking intensity, and under this pressure, CSKA Moscow's defensive pressure increased, and counter-attacks were always anticlimactic.
In the 43rd minute of the first half, Chelsea attacked. Arjen Robben broke through from the left flank and when he was close to the edge of the penalty area, he cut inside in the face of the Russian defence.
But at this time, Ignasievic, the defender who followed up the defense closely, directly changed the line of Altyn. Robben fell to the ground, but before the Chelsea players could come up, Ignasievic reached out and pulled Robben from the grass in a friendly way, signaling that he had no ill intentions.
This also made Ghazaev on the sidelines breathe a sigh of relief.
Before the game, the president of the team told him that in the course of the match against Chelsea, no matter what the result is, there must be no conflict, in any case, Abramovich is the largest investor in CSKA Moscow and an important source of funding for the team's new stadium, and it is not good to have a conflict with Chelsea in this relationship.
The referee on duty ran over and gave Ignasievic a verbal warning before awarding Chelsea a free-kick.
The free-kick position was at least 40 metres from the goal, on the outside of the left corner of the penalty area, which was really not a good position, so when the opponent was lined up with people, Frank Lampard frowned as he stood and looked up at the goal.
At this time, Wang Li next to him looked at the other party's human wall, held his chin with one hand and thought about it, and suddenly a wicked smile appeared on his face, and he walked towards Lampard.
Seeing Wang Li coming over, Frank Lampard looked up suspiciously, and before he could ask, Wang Li explained: "Frank, I think we should arrange a free-kick tactic, like this...... That's how you ......"
Chelsea, who watched the two talk to each other, didn't hear what was being said, but saw Lampard's face darkening and eventually becoming a little resentful...... The upright man who played a game of changing his face, like a deep resentful woman, looked at Wang Li with complaining eyes, and those eyes could even melt the ice.
After waiting for a while, looking at the confident expression of the black-haired boy in front of him, Lampard nodded with a bitter face, and said in his heart: "Isn't this really a death?" ”
Then, the big man who had just scored a goal for Chelsea slowly walked towards the opponent's lined up wall with a desperate, helpless, and lonely face.
That poor back made even the fans in the audience feel that Frank Lampard was going to be gone forever.
