The clock had reached the 70th minute of the game, and from the beginning of the second half, Chelsea had been attacking, and this kind of wide open and close, unusually rough style of play, completely suppressed Fiorentina.

Fiorentina's team, since Prandelli came to power, the style has also been influenced by Prandelli, not afraid of you playing carefully, the opponent's style of play is also delicate, the more they have a way to counter suppression, Barcelona can be regarded as the ancestor of playing delicate football, and it will be finished when it meets Fiorentina.

But Chelsea's lifeless English football is not close to delicacy at all, fighting for his life and gambling on luck at the same time, which actually made Fiorentina a little confused.

At least on the field, Fiorentina was indeed suppressed by Chelsea!

But Prandley on the sidelines did not look a little nervous on his face, and he still sat firmly in the coach's seat, hugging his shoulders, looking like he was in his chest.

"Cesare! Isn't it time for us to make a substitution, Macho on the side seems to be a little unable to hold on! Antonelli reminded.

I have to say that Malouda's performance today is too active, although defensively, completely failing, but on the offensive end, he has become Drogba's most helper, constantly sending accurate crosses on the wing, if it were not for Kompany and Thiago. If Silva's centre-back duo is doing well, perhaps Chelsea have completed the comeback.

"Nope! There is no need for substitutions, the team is doing very well now! ”

On Chelsea's side, Grant has already played three cards, but Prandelli has not had the slightest intention of making a substitution until now, and Antonelli does not understand what Prandelli is thinking.

The situation on the pitch seemed to be very bad for Fiorentina, but in fact Chelsea had no particular chances, with a couple of shots coming from Malouda's wide cross for Drogba to go for the top.

Frank Lampard and Joe Cole, who were supposed to be very active, were simply invisible in this game, with Lampard's trademark long-range shot cut in from the back and Joe Cole's classic through ball completely invisible in this game.

Although the three midfielders that Prandley sent out today are not very strong defensive players, their possession and passing jishu are very good, and Chelsea's desire to break the ball from midfield and counterattack has become a fantasy.

On the forward line, Degan's impact is only stronger than Drogba's, not weaker than Drogba's, and Mutu's speed advantage can also play a big role in Chelsea's backline.

So during this time, although Chelsea's offensive was very fierce, in the Premier League, the two wings that emphasized the attack were completely unable to press, and more often, they could only rely on the midfielders to fight.

Counting the injury time, there are only more than 20 minutes left in the game, during this time, Chelsea attacked fiercely, and the physical consumption was relatively large, and at this moment, even the most physical Haode Drogba was a little tired.

Because Didier Drogba not only has to attack, but also has to defend after conceding a goal, Fiorentina did not defend as much as they did in the first game against Barcelona before, and when there is a counter-attacking opportunity, they are also very resolute in their investment, so that Chelsea simply can't let go.

Add Fiorentina's three central midfielders all have the ability to organise attacks, so Chelsea have to put in more force when it comes to defending.

"Afran! I think it's time to control the tempo, because if it goes on like this, our backline will be very dangerous! Grant's assistant coach, his fellow Israeli Hubert, duly reminded him, "A draw isn't entirely unacceptable for us either!" ”

Hubert's suggestion is very correct, but at the moment Grant is full of thoughts about winning this game, and a draw is acceptable to everyone, but he can't.

John Terry is suspended for the next game, and the team's backline will be very troublesome, and if they can't win Fiorentina at home, it will be difficult for Chelsea to play when they are away from home.

"Nope! We must continue to intensify the attack! Damn, if this time ~~~~~~~"

Grant didn't finish speaking, but looked at the bench, who now doesn't even have a backup striker, except for one Shevchenko.

Shevchenko noticed Grant's gaze and was full of resentment, he was going to be a spectator again in this game.

The high transfer fee that set a Premier League record when he came to Stamford Bridge was not only a recognition of Shevchenko's ability, but also a huge pressure, giving up everything in Milan City at the age of 30 is all a big gamble, if he fails, he will probably lose everything he already has, but at that time he finally chose to leave, what made him make such a choice? Some say it's family, others say it's money. But whatever the reason, Shevchenko's courage to challenge himself is still admirable.

Isn't it?

Look at Raul, the former golden boy is now reduced to a fighting dog, can only appear in a position that he is not good at, the former striker who scored like a goal, but now he can only give up his duty to score goals for his loyalty, and he has earned a good reputation for diligence at the expense of physical steals and active defense, but anyone can see that he is not happy, if Raul has the courage of Shevchenko and gives up everything he has to start over, the result may not be perfect, but at least he will be happier.

London City's adventure got off to a perfect start, and although Chelsea lost in the Community Shield that season, Andriy Shevchenko scored in the first competitive game of the season, and Blues fans have reason to look forward to a flurry of goalscoring performances to come.

But reality is not as rosy as dreams, and the celebration of kissing the shirt after the maiden goal was met with the wrath of the Milan fans.

It may have been a great stimulus for most Milan fans, but such an overreaction was clearly something Shevchenko did not expect, after all, the goal came in England against Liverpool, who had ruined AC Milan's dream of winning the Champions League.

In fact, it is better to interpret that celebration as a declaration of loyalty to the Blues than to see it as a nostalgia for AC Milan's zuihou, and if that close-range shot could be scored on Istanbul night, everything would have been rewritten.

The anger of the Milan fans undoubtedly affected Shevchenko's mentality, and it was clear that Shevchenko was not used to the embarrassing answer of Manchester City, who had no intention of facing the opponent in the first Premier League, and the speed of the Premier League was vividly reflected in this game.

But he didn't keep Chelsea fans waiting long, and Shevchenko scored his first Premier League goal away at Myburgh, but unfortunately his goal failed to bring three points, and Chelsea were successfully reversed by their opponents before the end of the game, and since then they have fallen behind Manchester United in the table, and the curse of "Sheva scores, the Blues will lose" has also been spread by the media in due time.

Then there is Shevchenko's first goal drought after landing in the Premier League, and this period of poor performance should be a normal reaction to the players' adaptation and adjustment to different leagues, Shevchenko is the most well-rounded striker in all of Europe, there is no doubt about that, but even the most well-rounded striker needs time to adjust to the tempo. At the same time, the performance of the Premier League ace scorer Henry was also sluggish, and the sequelae of the Shijie Cup began to appear.

However, Mourinho gave him absolute support, leaving the starting opportunities to Shevchenko, who was in very poor form, and the disappointment after disappointment made Chelsea fans begin to wonder if their team is really a black hole for strikers, even Sheva, the strongest goal machine in Europe, has also crashed here.

Jose Mourinho did not waver, after every game you will hear his support and encouragement to the Ukrainians in his press conference, the Portuguese coach who likes rotation to put his form theory behind him, and supporting Sheva now looks more like a crazy bet, no matter how he wants to turn on this goal machine, Mourinho is well aware that if Chelsea want to achieve a breakthrough in the European arena, Shevchenko's Liliang is a must, and he bets on Shevchenko again and again.

But Shevchenko was disappointed again and again, and in the end Mourinho left, Grant took over, Shevchenko's position became even more awkward, and at Chelsea, he even had to be behind Drogba, Anelka and the young Kalou as the team's fourth striker, a game that Grant never thought of the former Ballon d'Or even when the team needed to score the most.

Looking at the junior dignitary Digan who was in Milan at the beginning, majestic on the pitch, Shevchenko only felt that his heart was frozen in the cold and rainy night in London.

Shevchenko is reminiscing about the good times of Milan, and Grant is still stubbornly demanding that the team attack.

As the clock ticked by, Fiorentina looked ready for a draw, and Chelsea slowed down due to physical exertion.

But at this time, Fiorentina suddenly made a force, Arteta made a long pass in the midfield, and Digan, who did nothing in the second half, suddenly seemed to be a different person, accelerated at his feet, and after shaking off the substitute Ballack, he stopped the ball with his back to his chest, and without waiting for the football to land, he directly picked the ball behind him, allowing Ferreira to save an air, and then turned and killed Chelsea's penalty area.

John Terry rushed in the first place, but Deegan didn't intend to give him a chance to make up for it, and after catching up with the ball, he fired a direct volley and the ball arced straight for the Chelsea goal.

At the crucial moment, Cech made a brilliant save, his body was in mid-air, his arms extended, and his fingertips looked at the football, but there was nothing to stop the ball from continuing to fly towards the goal.

"Shoot! Digan's chance! Ball ~~~~~~~~"

Boom!

A muffled sound interrupted the shouting of the Florentine TV commentator, and Digan looked slightly stunned, and could only smile bitterly and shake his head.
