During the intermission, everyone felt differently.

Fifteen minutes passed very slowly for fans looking forward to the game, and they felt like they had been stuck for a long time before they saw the two-team players play again; On the contrary, for the players of both teams, fifteen minutes passed in a flash, they just walked into the dressing room and walked out, and the time had already passed.

But in any case, the time has passed, and the two sides are back on the field of play for the second half of the game.

Neither side made any personnel changes, and the game began after switching venues.

There is nothing to change in Chelsea's personnel, everyone can see in the first half that Chelsea's table is actually not bad, the players in all positions are also playing very well, and the reason why they are behind is that the Derby County table is too good.

Derby County had a two-goal lead and played a good first half, so naturally there was no need to make personnel changes.

In short, the two sides played the original game, and Chelsea took the initiative to attack from the beginning of the game.

Chelsea's tactics didn't change much, but it was clear that in the second half Chelsea were more disciplined, more targeted, and attacking a lot stronger, and their manager Jose Mourinho did a lot of work in the dressing room, and you can see the hateful looks on some of the players.

Chelsea's formation is 433, the three midfielders are Lampard, Makelele and Damion Duff, of which Makelele's defensive task is heavier, the attack is basically only organized in the backfield, Lampard and Duff are frequently inserted, plus the front Robben, Drogba and Joe Cole are still very intimidating, such a lineup is too gorgeous, not neglecting any top team at all.

To be honest, Chelsea's forward line and midfield are nothing compared to AC Milan and Barcelona, and the disadvantages are also obvious - they don't have really dominant players, such as Barcelona have Ronaldinho and AC Milan have Andrea Pirlo. Shepchenko on the front line is also the world's top striker goalscorer, Chelsea does not have this kind of player, such as Frank Lampard, no matter how famous he is, he is only in England, Makelele is a French general, but he is old, and he is not a good attacking player, in short, in comparison, Chelsea still lacks a dominant star.

But Chelsea have an advantage. That is, their players are not inferior in strength, all their players are stars in their playing years, and their value is not as good as the top stars of the dominant level, but they are also more than 10 million powerful stars, that is to say, their formation can be said to have no loopholes at all, because they have powerful stars in all positions.

That's why when Chelsea are playing and playing to their strength. It's a little frustrating.

That's the way Chelsea are at the moment.

With the support of the likes of Frank Lampard and Claude Makelele, Chelsea's attacking play was very smooth up front, and their experience and excellent individual ability kept the Derby County backfield at bay. As a result, at the beginning of the game, Derby County played a little passively.

In terms of individual ability, the Derby County players are indeed a little inferior to the Chelsea stars in terms of game experience. There is a huge gap between the two sides, and a group of young players in Derby County can be said to be a youth army. It's hard to compare to the Chelsea stars.

So Derby County was suppressed.

Young Alfred, young Osman, young Vidic, young Baines they can only rely on a hard work to play around with the opponent, if it weren't for Derby's better defensive tactics and the players' more physical fitness, Derby's goal is estimated to have been broken at the beginning of the second half.

Frank Lampard can win the cheers of Chelsea fans every time he catches the ball, and with these cheers, Chelsea's table is getting better and better, because this cheer is not only for Lampard, but also for the entire Chelsea team, in contrast, some neutral fans also began to expect Chelsea to have a good table, after all, if it is a suppressive victory, even if Derby County plays a wonderful game, there is no suspense in the score, and the game is not much exciting at all, anyone in a neutral situation, will always subconsciously sympathize with the weak, Obviously, Chelsea are the underdogs now two goals down, so many Welsh fans have started cheering on the cheers of Chelsea fans.

In the VIP box, Abramovich's face gradually improved.

Since the summer, he has believed in the quality of Jose Mourinho, a champion coach from Portugal, who has come to Chelsea to consolidate the team, the team is clearly better than last season's table, and of course the results are better, and he knows that Chelsea are now far ahead of the table if it were not for Derby's strong explosion this season.

It's a pity that there was a Derby County this season, and there were 10,000 wins, and as a result, Chelsea could only compete with Derby County for the league title.

But now Chelsea are showing their quality.

Even with only 30 minutes left, Chelsea will be enough to score two goals, right?

Abramovich thought uncertainly.

At the same time, the pro-Chelsea commentator excitedly chanted, "Chelsea launched a frantic attack on the Derby County half!!" ”

'For Chelsea, the final is just starting from now! Derbyshire hillbillies wait! Let me show you now, the championship you are looking forward to will only be a dream! ”

The narrator was a little overexcited.

It's just a 'hillbilly' title, it is estimated that he will have a lot of trouble after the game, but in his heart as a commentator for Chelsea fans does not care at all, he can explain this game because the TV station is inclined to Chelsea Club, so no matter how he satirizes Derby County, he will definitely not make trouble for him internally, because they are originally supportive of Chelsea.

As if in response to the commentator's words, Chelsea finally pulled a goal back with the twentieth minute of the second half.

Frank Lampard played a one-two with Damien Duff in midfield to shake off Osman's entanglement, before opting to dribble the ball himself.

In front of the penalty area, Morris came up to meet him.

Frank Lampard has to be very cautious against Morris's defence, he is not the type of player who is very good at breaking through, in fact, even against smaller teams, Lampard rarely breaks on his own, he is more of a team-mate. It's like the collaboration with Duff just now.

Now he has made the same choice.

Frank Lampard handed the ball to Robben on one side, and Robben rushed to the Derby defence, Robben was very fast, and the Derby County defense was a little too late, they were rushed before they could fully adapt, and the entire Derby County back line was tense.

Robben suddenly dribbled horizontally and cut inside to the middle.

It was Robben's signature way, the Derby defender in front of the penalty area, rushing to stop him and intercept his shot space. However, Robben continued to dribble the ball and was not stopped, taking a few horizontal steps along the line of the penalty area, and after rushing past Lampard's position, Robben suddenly raised his right foot slightly.

The players who saw this scene were shocked, as if they saw that the next moment the football was about to rush towards the goal.

The next moment everyone saw that Arjen Robben was in front of the ball with his right heel, and the ball was pushed straight back by this back heel, spinning and rolling to the feet of Frank Lampard in the back.

"Wonderful heel!" The on-site commentator chanted!

This wonderful back-heel pass. Almost all of the Derby County defenders have failed to react, or even if they do, their bodies have been unable to keep up.

Lampard had a good chance next. Don't hesitate to pull out your legs and volley!

Boom!

The soccer ball swiped straight in, slammed headlong into the door of the Karachi handle, and slammed into the net with a wave of netting.

'Frank Lampard! Frank Lampard! ”

'Frank Lampard!'

'Frank Lampard scored with a volley from the edge of the area! In Chelsea's most critical moments, Frank Lampard stepped up again. He pulled a goal back for Chelsea! ”

"It's his signature shot! Frank Lampard has scored 11 goals so far this season, plus that. That's 12 goals, seven of which were from the outside, and that's what he does best! ”

The on-site commentator said excitedly that there was no doubt that Frank Lampard's goal had put the game in suspense.

The pro-Chelsea commentator said, 'Chelsea pulled a goal back!' Next time we're going to be cheering for an equaliser! ”

After the shouts of excitement, the pro-Chelsea commentator added: 'As I said, the game has just begun!' ”

Chelsea fans will certainly agree with this and are hoping that Chelsea will score more goals, equalise or even overtake the scoreline so they can win the Carabao Cup.

Although it is only a League Cup winner, it is still very good for Chelsea, who have not been exposed to the taste of heavyweight titles for a long time, and this is also a kind of proof - after Roman Abramovich arrived at Chelsea, they saw one star after another come to the team, but they did not see the team win any heavyweight titles.

This championship is naturally a kind of proof that the team has become stronger.

At the same time, the Chelsea players also celebrated excitedly, until the goal just now, the Chelsea players actually doubted that the team could win against Derby County, after all, the team was two goals behind, not to mention, the last time the two teams met, Chelsea also lost the game.

They couldn't think of a reason why the team could win.

Another point, in the first half of the game, they also showed good, but they were still scored two goals by Derby, the outside media said how strong Chelsea is, how many reasons Chelsea have to win, but when it comes to the game, really playing against Derby, you can feel that this opponent is not easy to deal with, they even feel that it is more difficult than playing against Manchester United.

But the goal proved that there was still hope for the team.

People always go for hope, and the Chelsea players see hope, so they have more confidence in the game and their morale is shocked.

This is what is seen on the surface.

Chelsea supporters also want to see Derby County lose the Carabao Cup after losing the Carabao Cup after their morale was low due to the goal conceded

In the VIP box, Abramovich's face was back on his face.

When Frank Lampard scored, he clapped and said, "Frank is such a good player. ”

"Congratulations on your goal." Gentleman Apuyabi complimented.

"Thank you." Abramovich smiled, "I think there will be goals in a while, it's too early to congratulate." ”

Pearson frowned disapprovingly.

Apuyabi's face remained unchanged, in fact, for him, befriending Abramovich is even more important than winning the League Cup, the League Cup title is just an honor, it can't bring much income at all, and the so-called 'UEFA Cup place', Derby County, who are currently second in the league, do not need it. So for Abramovich to say that he wants to score, he doesn't care at all.

Pearson is not.

He was an English native and a Derby County fan as a child, which is why he was able to act as an agent for the GSE consortium in its takeover of the Derby County club.

But he is just an agent, in front of the chairman of the GSE consortium Apuyabi is nothing at all, if he does not do well, Apuyabi can be replaced by an agent, Pearson's dream since childhood is to lead the Derby County club, and now the opportunity will not be missed.

So he can only keep his dissatisfaction in his heart

Wan Sheng stood on the sidelines. Watch Chelsea celebrate.

He wasn't like the commentators who said he was panicked by the Chelsea goal, the expression on his face didn't change at all, just stern and a smile on his lips.

Chelsea's goal was not unexpected.

Chelsea are already a strong team, the best team in Europe, what is so unusual about playing against such a team and scoring a goal? Before the game, Wan Sheng even thought about the possibility of Chelsea scoring in a row, but the game was ninety minutes. The outcome of the game depends on the number of goals scored by both teams in 90 minutes, as long as Derby County scores more goals, it doesn't matter if the opponent scores one or two goals, he needs to win the Carabao Cup. It's not like the big win we did last time we played against Liverpool.

So Wan Sheng just gestured to the players, telling them that they would play more steadily next, and if they found an opportunity, they could launch an attack appropriately.

Of course. When to attack, it is up to the players to judge.

After all, the manager is only a coach and cannot replace the players on the field, but he believes in Morris, Ribery and others. He will know when a good opportunity is, and Wan Sheng also believes that as long as he plays according to the tactics and plays at a normal level, with a one-goal lead, Derby County will be the winner in the end. ‘

After Chelsea's goal, a number of Derby County players were looking to Wansheng.

Wan Sheng is the backbone of the team, and it is also the object that they rely on in the game, many players are a little worried when they look at Wan Sheng, they are worried that Wan Sheng feels that they are not good, so they will feel afraid, Wan Sheng is still very dignified in the team.

However, they didn't see any particular annoyance on the part of Wan Sheng, but Wan Sheng was gesturing and telling them what to do next.

Everyone can understand the meaning of that gesture, which is to continue the game according to the original tactics without any adjustments, and the other thing is to strengthen the attack a little bit and try to seize the opportunity.

Everybody gets it.

In fact, it doesn't matter what gestures Wansheng makes, the important thing is that the players know that the coach didn't care about the opponent's goal just now, so that they can breathe a sigh of relief and participate in the next game more relaxed

After expressing his intentions, Wansheng was ready to make a substitution.

After the opponent scores a goal, the necessary substitutions still have to be made, not that the players on the field are not good, but by this time, some players are already a little tired, after all, Derby County's tactics are extremely physical, and players who are not too good in physical fitness are difficult to support the whole game.

Just like Kluivert on the field right now.

After a few years of sinking in Barcelona, Kluivert's state has declined extremely strictly, and it is Kluivert's off-field life that is inappropriate, coupled with his personality that has been burdened by his former fame, so his body has been greatly affected.

Players over the age of 25 want to recover after their bodies are dragged down, it is extremely difficult, and normal means are almost impossible, that is, the task of the football training master system, in order to make Kluivert return to some of his former state, but it is also impossible to fully recover, which is also the player that Wan Sheng intended to use Kluivert as a substitute from the beginning.

Fortunately, Kluivert's personality has changed a lot after this qiē, and he has begun to be positive and wants to return to the top, but unfortunately this positive idea is a little late, if it is not for Wan Sheng, Kluivert can only mix for a few more years, and will announce his retirement in his early 30s.

In this game, Kluivert broke out of strength, but his physical strength is not explosive, and his physical condition is there, and it is very good to persist in such a big battle until now.

After the start of the second half, Kluivert was significantly less running, so Wan Sheng planned to replace him.

Kluivert came off and Ian Taylor came on.

In the game just now, the obvious problem is that the experience of the players on the field in Derby County is too different from Chelsea, as an experienced star, Ian Taylor's appearance can definitely play a role in stabilizing the morale of the army, and Taylor's influence in the team is not weaker than Morris, and although his personal ability is declining rapidly, but the veteran is a veteran after all, his game experience, all-round ability and extremely stable mentality, the table on the field is not weaker than the more capable players, Sometimes the effect on the team as a whole is even stronger than that of Van der Vaart.

Derby's substitution didn't make waves.

Although Kluivert's first-half table was very good, this kind of substitution of players in the same position is quite normal.

Chelsea didn't take it to heart, and when the game restarted, they launched an attack with great momentum, and Chelsea felt more and more energetic as the whole stadium cheered.

It's like they're trying to take Derby County in one go!

Against it is Derby County's steady dìng, Derby County's defense is very solid, even if Chelsea have just scored a goal, Derby County's table has not changed, but it is Ian Taylor's appearance, which makes Derby County more solid in the middle line defense, after all, Taylor is more defensive than Kluivert, and many times the position will be a little deeper, which helps the whole team's defense.

Chelsea's attack looked fierce, but for a long time they didn't find much of a good opportunity, and the few shots on goal were helpless long-range shots.

During this time, the Derby County fans were very nervous.

They kept their eyes on the game, fearing that in the blink of an eye, the Derby County goal would be breached, and Chelsea's table was really good, and their combination around the midfield was so fluid that even the Derby County fans had to admit that it was difficult for the team to play such a smooth combination.

Chelsea were arguably in their best form since the start of the game, but even in that form they were unable to break through the Derby County defence.

This kind of wonderful game made the fans cheer for it.

But Mourinho, as the manager of Chelsea, frowned in his seat, of course he knew that the team's appearance was good, but even so, he failed to break through the Derby County defense, and in the long run, the situation will be unfavorable to the team.

There is no such thing as a 'one boom, then another, three times exhausted' in Europe, but there is a similar proverb and Mourinho understands it, so he is starting to worry about the situation of the game.

Especially looking at the time, another ten minutes have passed, and there are only ten minutes left in the game.

Now Mourinho is also very uncertain about whether the team can equalize, but he can't do anything, because the players on the Chelsea field are really good, in this case, he can't blame the players for the problem, and he can't change the situation through any adjustments, and more importantly, the defense of Derby County is really solid, even if he makes any adjustments, he can't figure out how to break through the defense.

It was at this time that Derby made another substitution.

Mourinho subconsciously turned his head to look over, only to see that Derby County replaced Osman and replaced a lesser-known midfielder named Peter Kennedy. (To be continued......)
