Chapter 115: Andy Lau in Africa
In the first half, the two sides played to a 1-0 level, with Fiorentina taking a surprise lead at Stamford Bridge thanks to a goal from Degan.
Since the start of the season, the Purple Lilies have been working miracles every moment, first breaking Inter Milan's record of 17 consecutive league wins set last season, then qualifying from the Champions League group, knocking out La Liga giants Barcelona, 14 points ahead of defending champions Inter Milan in the league, and now giving the Ruble battleship a cannonball at Stamford Bridge.
When all the wonders come together, people are surprised to find that it all seems to be a no-brainer, with Fiorentina having a boss who is willing to invest, a talented manager, a group of talented young talents, and one of the most dangerous strikers in Shijie football, and there seems to be no reason why they should not succeed.
Fiorentina came off jubilant and Chelsea looked a little dejected, things shouldn't have turned out the way they were.
Back in the dressing room, before Grant could speak, Drogba was the first to be furious, don't look at Drogba who looks fierce, but he is the most popular in the Chelsea team, but once he loses his temper, even meritorious players like Terry and Lampard will still be silent.
This time, Drogba's target is John Terry, and although the two are friends in private, it doesn't mean that he can tolerate Terry's poor performance on the court.
"John! I don't know what that bastard said to you, but looking at your performance on the court today, I can't believe it. Terry. ”
Drogba's sudden outburst made Terry stunned, he was full of thoughts at this moment, and the in his crotch was almost stuffed into his head, so that now looking at Bridge, he felt empty.
Seeing Drogba roaring at him, Terry, who was already in turmoil, had a hot head and yelled: "You him. Mother. What are you talking about? If it weren't for you bastard, that shit Degan would be lying in a hospital bed by now! ”
Terry's roar made Drogba even more furious, and without thinking about it, he grabbed Terry's neck: "You him. Mother. What are you talking about? When will we only be able to win with such vile means! ”
"Stop! Stop! When head coach Grant saw Drogba make a move, he hurried over and flew the two people away, and other teammates also stepped forward to separate the two people.
When Terry was grabbed by Drogba's neck just now, he was also scared, and when he saw that there was no danger at the moment, he immediately trembled: "You bastard is not qualified to accuse me at all, what about your performance in the first half?" Where is the goal you promised, I only now understand that Weishenme Jose had to bring in that Degan, he is indeed much better than you! ”
When Drogba heard this, his eyes couldn't help but red, and he roared angrily and was about to step forward to PK with Terry, but was stopped by Lampard and Malouda, and could only shout: "You will see the goal, and when the time comes, I will use the goal to smash your bastard's head!" ”
Grant looked at the chaotic dressing room and felt a big headache, now he admires his predecessor Mourinho a little, how did the Portuguese do it, and he was able to tame these superstars with full personality one by one.
Seeing that without Fiorentina's action, the current Chelsea is about to collapse from the inside, and Grant has no way to change all this except for a headache.
But after the start of the second half, the team that Grant thought would definitely collapse, under the leadership of Drogba, launched a ferocious counterattack towards Fiorentina.
This game is completely out of Grant's control, originally according to Grant's jihua, this game should be based on defense, waiting for the opportunity to counterattack.
After all, Chelsea can only send Drogba as a striker in this game, Anelka was banned for this game, Shevchenko, the former Ukrainian nuclear warhead, has long been frozen on the bench by Grant, although Drogba's strength is strong, but it is not a simple matter to rely on only one Drogba to break down Fiorentina's backline.
But now Chelsea don't care so much, Terry will be banned for the next game, and if he loses at home, he won't have to play away from home.
Stimulated by the situation of the game, he had a big fight with Terry in the locker room, and almost made a move, and Drogba also went completely crazy.
Fiorentina were clearly ill-prepared for a massive comeback at the start of the second half, and the ball was easily pushed into the Chelsea half, with Malouda playing a wide pass.
Drogba yelled, and pounced violently, Kompany was forced by Drogba's fact, and subconsciously took a step back, and the result was this step, so that Drogba seized the opportunity, jumped high, pressed Kompany, and directly shook his head to attack the goal.
Although Frei made a timely save, Drogba's header was so fast that it was beyond his imagination, and after it hit the ground, it bounced directly into the net.
After the goal, Drogba was so excited that he ripped off his jersey and rushed to the camera on the sidelines, showing off his muscles.
It was only then that the Chelsea fans at Stamford Bridge realized that everything had happened so fast that before they could understand what was happening, the football had already been drilled into the net, and it was only then that they remembered that it was time to cheer.
The stands at Stamford Bridge exploded in an instant, and the fans cheered, kept waving their fists at the pitch, roaring loudly, and depressed for forty-five minutes, and now it was finally time to vent.
Looking at the big man who was showing off his dark muscles in front of the camera, he was now handsome in the eyes of Chelsea fans.
Although he is extremely violent on the field, the domineering nickname of Warcraft also makes him look "full of bestiality", but on the other hand, Drogba also has a cute nickname "African Andy Lau", which is the crystallization of the wisdom of Chinese fans.
Well, will he Weishenme get such a nickname?
Explanation 1: The hairstyle has never been messy, and the hair is "slippery"!
Why is Drogba called "Andy Lau of Africa"?
There are many theories, but the most popular one is that Drogba's hair is often shiny and shiny, so he is nicknamed "slippery".
Every time he competes, Drogba's hairstyle is always so smooth and smooth, very layered, and the homonym is 'slippery', so it is named 'African Andy Lau'.
Of course, Drogba's hairstyle is indeed very stylish, NBA star Garnett once said: "If I had hair, I would have a Drogba-style." ”
Explanation 2: Can sing and dance, music enthusiast!
Another explanation for Drogba being called "Andy Lau of Africa" is that his musical talent is outstanding. At the banquet before the departure of the Shijie Cup in 2006, he took the stage to sing a solo song for the President of Côte d'Ivoire, which shocked the audience. He has participated in the recording of charity songs many times, and even released an album of the same name "From Drogba", in addition to Drogba has also released a dance music album, "Drogba song" and "Drogba dance" have become cultural phenomena in Côte d'Ivoire.
Explanation 3: Influence Jeon Shijie, a teen idol!
Andy Lau was once one of China's most popular male stars, while Didier Drogba also enjoyed a strong reputation in Côte d'Ivoire. In 2007, at his appeal, Côte d'Ivoire ended its five-year civil war.
He was also selected as one of the "100 Most Influential People of Time" by Time Magazine, and he was the only one in the entire football circle.
An African journalist put it this way: "People sing his name in songs, young people imitate what he wears - sleeveless T-shirt, hairstyle with hairspray, he is a success model." ”
In Côte d'Ivoire, a popular one-litre stout is called "Drogba" because of its tall bottle, and a street in Abidjan has been renamed "Didier. Drogba Road".
Drogba's influence is constantly expanding, especially those fans in front of the TV, who are immediately fascinated when they see the African man who shows off his personality and strong muscles on the screen.
Fiorentina was also stunned, and before he could understand what was going on, the score was equalized, and Prandelli on the sidelines also stood up at this time, holding his shoulder to check the situation on the field.
The development of the game also exceeded his expectations, he knew that Chelsea would come back, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly, and a cross from the edge of the field actually went in.
The most unacceptable thing for Prandelli is that Kompany, the core of the team's defense, was powerless to fight back against Drogba.
After Chelsea's wild celebrations, the game resumed, and Didier Drogba's goal also woke up the spirit of the Chelsea team, and for a time the Blues were in full swing on the pitch, and Fiorentina had to retreat from defence.
Drogba also completely entered a state of madness at this time, staring at the Fiorentina backline, looking at his menacing appearance, he wished to finish Fiorentina in two or three minutes.
Digan can only be secretly anxious, under the stormy attack of Chelsea, Fiorentina's formation was pressed too far back, and if he wanted to reorganize the counterattack, he had to face Chelsea's crazy counterattack.
Especially Chelsea's on-field captain John Terry, who seemed to have a conflict with Drogba in the dressing room, made him sober up, and he had no scruples at this time, anyway, he was going to be banned for the next game, so he simply fought hard.
A thought flashed through the minds of Prandley and Deegan at the same time: I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with!
