At 5.30pm on 13 January, Chelsea fans began to flock in pairs towards their holy land, Stamford Bridge. In the afterglow of winter, Stamford Bridge is draped in a dazzling golden brilliance, like a vast ancient battlefield. Although it is not a real war, it will soon be a fierce battle here. A huge blue wave slowly poured into the stadium, and the loud slogans of the fans became its flowing sound. "United!" "We're going to Millennium Stadium!" “3:0！” ……

The fans are full of momentum, and the Chelsea team is also very serious about this game, with the determination to go all out and win resolutely. Although they will travel to White Hart Lane in two days to face Tottenham Hotspur in the 23rd round of the Premier League. The huge lead over second-placed Arsenal in the standings gives Mourinho the leeway and confidence to squander or give up appropriately.

In the pre-match line-up, due to the absence of Lao Lei's ban, Mourinho made some changes in the starting formation and list. The 4-3-3 formation will be Chelsea's starting line-up for this game, with Jose Mourinho making no changes to the goalkeeper and defence, with several regular players in the line. In midfield, there were two changes, with Thiago replacing the elder Ray and Claude Makelele in a back two. In the left wing-back position, Joe Cole also started in place of Robben, who was seriously injured and needed to recuperate for a long time. Given Arjen Robben's injury situation, it is believed that the England-born left wing-back will be more heavily used by Mourinho in the coming period.

Also, in terms of tactics. Mourinho has also made big changes. Chelsea will be dominated by counter-attacking tactics in this game, and Mourinho knows that in the absence of old thunder. This Chelsea team doesn't have the ability to play with delicate feet and control the ball. Frank Lampard's organisation is good, but it is not as good as Ray's control and delicacy. Moreover, there is no away goal system in the semi-finals of the EFL Cup. It compares the number of goals scored by both sides. The away goals system is only available after the two sides go to extra time in the second leg. In other words, in a way, for Chelsea, whose attacking power has been greatly reduced due to the lack of Lao Lei and Robben, the best tactical choice is to defend well and concede fewer goals.

As the time approached the official start of the game, both sides were nervously making final preparations in their respective dressing rooms. It's a hard time for someone. Today's Chelsea no.13 is no longer a warrior who receives cheers and adoration from the fans on the pitch. It's a cheerleading squad cheering on their teammates on the sidelines. The absence of a heavyweight opponent like Manchester United made the belligerent old Lei regret. Coupled with the fact that Kayla had already flown to New York, he could only come to watch the game alone today, which made him even more uncomfortable.

In the stands, sitting among the fans, Lao Lei had a depressed feeling like scratching his boots. However, it was a big surprise for Chelsea fans. Soon, there was no time for Ray to experience the frustration, and he was surrounded by Chelsea fans who had asked for autographs and photographs. waited for Lao Lei to finally finish serving the fans. Players from both sides have also begun to officially enter the stadium.

At this time, the commentators also got to work, detailing the situation of the game, the starting line-ups of both sides and the formation. Sometimes they even take the trouble to take out the historical numbers of the two teams to comment on them. This is perhaps the most boring moment of a game for fans watching the TV broadcast. But for the fans who watched the game, it was one of the hottest moments of the game.

That's the case at Stamford Bridge. When the Chelsea players were introduced on the spot, the fans were the same as ever. They shouted the names of their warriors along with him. "Our great captain, John Terry!" "The most trusted door god, Peter, Cech!" …… In such a fiery atmosphere, Lao Lei, who accepted the helpless reality, also shouted the names of his teammates with the fans. Since it is impossible to resist. Then enjoy, this is the truest inner portrayal of Lao Lei at this time.

"It's just that, no matter what, it's still a pity!" Lao Lei stared at Keane, Scholes, Ronaldo, Rooney and other people who were lined up on the field, and the depression in his heart would always come out uncontrollably. He drooped his eyebrows, and although he shouted hard, the depression and unwillingness in his eyes could not be hidden. The word depressed is clearly written on his face, which can be said to be a vivid and real live interpretation version of "I take off my pants, you just tell me to watch this".

At this time, the camera also happened to find Lao Lei sitting in the stands, and his depressed face appeared on the big screen at the scene. All of a sudden, the entire Stamford Bridge stadium erupted in good-natured laughter. It was only at this time that Chelsea fans discovered their core, and their king was indeed just a 23-year-old. Isn't that obviously straightforward mood revealed at this age?

Even Lineker couldn't help laughing when he saw this, and said, "Look at Reima's expression, it's the same as my son's expression when he couldn't get candy when he was a child." I think he's probably the most hungry player on this pitch right now, but he just can't play. This is undoubtedly a very difficult thing for him, who has always liked to fight against strong opponents. Well, I hope he can do his new job as a cheerleader and cheer his teammates on well. Hehehe. ”

Lineker's unscrupulous jokes about him, old Ray naturally couldn't hear them, and now he has begun to watch the game with full attention. After the start of the game, because Chelsea opted for defensive counter-attacking tactics, Manchester United got control of the game as soon as they came up. Knowing that Chelsea's counter-attacks were as sharp as a scalpel, that was nothing to intimidate the Reds. After seeing Chelsea's retreat, Ferguson on the sidelines unceremoniously came to the sideline and waved his hand, like a general scolding Fang Xuan, and gave the order to his disciples to attack. "Since you're so polite, then I'm not welcome!" After Ferguson glanced at Mourinho, who was expressionless beside him, he said proudly in his heart.

But it has to be said. Chelsea's backline is really solid. Although he lacks Lao Lei, Thiago is also an excellent midfielder who can attack and defend. He will have a negative impact on Chelsea from the absence of Ray. to a minimum. Defensively, in particular, his and Claude Makelle's two-man midfield combination has also made United uncomfortable. Manchester United's attacking firepower was fierce. Chelsea's counter-attacks from time to time were just as sharp and threatening. Coupled with the fierce competition of both hands on the field, the exciting and fierce game quickly attracted the attention of all the fans who watched the game.

Among them, of course, Lao Lei is also included. However, unlike the usual fans who watch the game, he habitually puts himself in the role of a player to watch the game. Think about how he would handle the ball if he was on the field, how he would defend and how he would choose the timing of the transition. Immersed in thoughts, time always flies. When the referee blew the whistle at the end of halftime, Lao Lei came back to his senses. In the first half, the two teams exchanged blanks and drew 0:0. In Lineker's words, "apart from the lack of a goal, it was a game that was undoubtedly a good game".

In the boring waiting of Lao Lei, the second half of the game came quickly. Obviously, at half-time, neither manager made any tactical changes first, and both continued the tactics of the first half. And when the time came to the 56th minute of the second half, the deadlock on the field was finally broken, and it was Manchester United who stormed most of the game to score, and the scorer was Lao Lei's old rival Cristiano Ronaldo.

Strictly speaking. It was a stroke of luck and not an absolute chance for United to create on their own. Ryan Giggs broke down the left and the ball was blocked by Ferreira on the way to a cross that gave United a corner. After Scholes' corner. The football flew to the front point. There, Vanney was carrying Terry, and with his height advantage, he grabbed the first landing point. But his header hits the net. It hit Ferreira on the back and didn't get to the goal.

When the football falls on the field. Carvalho was ahead of everyone and ready to clear the siege with a big foot. But at this time. His footing suddenly slipped, and his whole body was unbalanced. All of a sudden, this kick cleared the ball, and the kick was flawed. Football also coincidentally flew in front of Ronaldo, although Ronaldo himself was a little surprised. However, his second reaction was very quick, and as soon as he stopped the ball on his chest, he immediately fired a decisive volley with the instep of his instep. With Petr's view blocked, the ball flew straight into the near corner of the net, and he couldn't reach it.

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！！！ Cristiana Ronaldo - !! A golden goal, he helped the team open up the game. The pressure is on Chelsea to decide whether they will continue to defend and counter-attack or press out and attack with all their might, Mourinho has a choice to make. You know, once he and Chelsea go to Old Trafford with the score behind, they will fall into an extremely difficult passive situation on that pitch. I believe Sir Alex Ferguson will never miss this advantage. Oh! Ha ha!! See what Cristiano is up to?! What's he doing?!! Hahaha, I think if possible, Reima would jump right into the stadium right now and compete. ”

After Ronaldo scored, a camera immediately found Lao Lei with deep meaning. At this time, when Lao Lei was covering his head and regretting, his posture and expression were once again on the big screen of the scene.

And when Ronaldo celebrated with his Manchester United teammates after scoring a goal, he also saw Lao Lei's annoyed look on the big screen. Perhaps it is too rare to see Lao Lei's demeanor, which makes this Portuguese young genius who has been losing to Lao Lei very excited.

So, he directly stretched out his hand and pointed to the big screen. Then he shook his index finger proudly at the big screen. I don't know if it's a signal, but it was his first goal of the game.

In this regard, no matter what Lao Lei thinks, Chelsea fans are extremely dissatisfied with Ronaldo's actions anyway. The shrill boos immediately rang out at Stamford Bridge.

At this time, Lao Lei also saw Ronaldo's actions. He was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, a cold smile.

Then, suddenly, he stood up, turned his back, and lowered his upper body slightly. Then, he turned his head to look at Ronaldo on the field.

Then, suddenly, he stretched out his right hand and gently patted his buttocks.

At the same time, he pouted the corners of his mouth disdainfully and shook his head.

If Ronaldo was proud of what he did just now, then what Lao Lei did was to despise and despise him.

It's as if to say, "That's all you have, you only deserve to see my taillights." ”

Chelsea fans, who understood what Lao Lei meant, immediately let out a burst of laughter in cooperation. And because the camera at the scene has been staring at Lao Lei, this qiē was presented on the big screen at the scene as it was.

All of a sudden, Lao Lei did not intend to "steal the show" and succeed.

Successfully sitting in the stands draws all the attention to yourself.

At this time, Lao Lei and Ronaldo are like rookies and drama bully.

"Sample, if you want to be on the top, you are still tender!" (To be continued......)
