Four hundred and twenty-nine, a complex of contradictions
Boos rang out from the stands at the Camp Nou, which grew louder and louder.
Chelsea were unmoved, even if Barcelona stopped them through a foul, but then it was time to continue!
"Cowards who dare not move forward!" The Spanish commentator ridiculed the Chelsea players for not having the guts to move forward.
The Barcelona players finally couldn't hold back the deafening boos, as if it wasn't booing their opponents, but themselves.
They pounced on their opponents in a frenzy, completely deprived of their previous tight organization!
In fact, Chelsea are waiting for this moment!
Football is behind their defence again!
This time it's Anelka.
The French striker was successfully countered offside and he quickly approached Valdés' goal.
Unfortunately, when he was shooting, Puyol, who was chasing back, interfered and Anelka's shot slid past the goal
The final result was a 2-1 win at Barcelona away from home to Chelsea, a result that surprised many.
Surprisingly, Chelsea are still strong, even if Ronaldo, the first striker, went to Real Madrid, which did not make Chelsea weak.
At the press conference after the game, Lynn didn't stay long, just said that the game was fierce, the result was very satisfying, and then got up and left, of course, the reporters refused and protested.
"I'm in a hurry!" Lynn didn't look back, and left.
Of course he was in a hurry, and Dorai was still lying in the hospital, so as the head coach, he had to rush over as soon as possible.
Lynn is gone. However, the media discussion has not stopped, and no one expected a large group of reporters to be at the scene of the press conference. Loud discussion about what Chelsea tactics were.
It was Rijkaard, who was depressed by the loss, but when he listened to some professional reporters outside the door analysing Chelsea's tactics, he also stopped and listened carefully.
As journalists have said, Chelsea's tactics seem to be a mixture of contradictions. You can complete the free conversion of multiple tactical systems in one game, and you can't find any hard flaws. It seems like it just slid over naturally.
Rijkaard agrees, not that he was convinced, but that Chelsea did it. Even if it's an enemy. Rijkaard also saw this as a respectable enemy.
It is not a simple matter to use a variety of different tactics in a game to make the opponent feel at a loss instead of collapsing.
It takes a lot of genius thinking and a lot of hard work.
Rijkaard certainly could not have imagined that Lynn himself was a combination of contradictions, when he was training his own team. Different training in stages, relying on a large number of good players. With the advantage that the players are versatile in multiple positions, it is only by virtue of the success of such a Chelsea team.
Trying to replicate this model is an infinite number of times more difficult.
After the press conference, Lynn hurried back into the locker room, where the players were waiting for him.
"Guys, like you, I think this is the most comforting thing for Dorai, and Dorai will be happy with your performance, I have to say, you are doing better than me!"
"How's Dorai, boss?" Terry asked aloud, and the others looked at Lynn as well.
How serious Dorai's injuries were, they only had a rough guess, although the news that Dorai was not in danger stabilized the morale of the army, but what the truth was, everyone was skeptical.
Lynn looked stunned for a moment, and then forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, our Dorai will be fine, now, everyone pack their things, I'll go see Dorai, and we'll go home together in a while." ”
In the past, after an important victory, the players would have had a lot of fun, but today was different, everyone was a little dull.
Several of the players began to help Dorai pack his bags, and no one knew if Dorai would be able to return later, but everyone hoped that Dorai's equipment would go back with them
"It's a bit bad, but it's not desperate, Don't think he's back on the field right now, our biggest focus is to get him back on his feet," the doctor's report left Lynn's mind blank.
"Coco, he's only twenty-two" Lynn was a little flustered, he didn't know what to say.
"We'll do our best." The team doctor also knew how hard this incident would hit Dorai, but when it happened, they were helpless.
"Mr. Gibson means that it would be better to let Dorai settle down and transfer him back to London and let us take over ourselves."
Lynn nodded blankly, "Inform Dorai's family"
Dorai's serious injury made the event, which could end his career, the first major event of the week, and many organizations such as UEFA and the FA sent letters of condolence.
Of course, Lynn doesn't need to deal with that, Robin will do it properly.
"Well, sir, I can finally drink and smoke," said Dorai, though he said with ease, but Lynn found pathos in his evasive gaze.
He knew that Dorai was not reconciled, but Lynn knew that things were irreparable.
After returning to London, the team consulted Dorai's injuries several times, and the conclusions were very optimistic in the eyes of the doctors.
Dorai can return to a normal life, of course, which requires Dorai's hard work and multiple surgeries.
After rehabilitation, Dorai will have little impact on his life other than not being able to withstand the intense athletic confrontation.
It is already God blessed that such an injury can have such an ending.
Lynn also knew that no amount of comfort could be undone.
"Dorai, you're going to mess with Mr. Cox in the future, he's already booked you, and I can't refuse his insistence, so"
"Xiexie, sir, Mr. Cox is a good man!" Hearing that he could still engage in football activities in the future, Dorai's eyes finally had a glimmer of light
After the first leg of the round of 16, England's four teams were mixed, with Arsenal and Manchester United both losing to their opponents and Chelsea and Liverpool winning.
Bayer Leverkusen, as expected before the game, had a poor resistance against Liverpool, and it was inevitable that Liverpool would reach the quarter-finals.
Manchester United's home defeat to AC Milan also brought gloom to their Champions League journey, and it was difficult to turn the tables away.
Arsenal may have retained a glimmer of hope thanks to an away goal, but with a two-goal deficit, it's hard to say how many chances they have.
The top priority in front of Lynn now is to deal with the problem of Dorai, and there are people who can be qualified in this position, such as Zauri, Barzaretti, Sun Jihai and even Gallas, but Dorai is the player who best meets Lynn's needs.
If there is a major event, under normal circumstances, Lynn doesn't have to think about it, and it is enough to send Dorai directly
Stamford Bridge was littered with posters of Dorai's portrait and Blues fans were using the opportunity to pray for Dorai.
'Dorai, we are waiting for you! ’
The corners of Lynn's eyes were a little wet, the news of the end of Dorai's career was still being kept secret, Lynn didn't know when the news would be announced, what he hoped was that Dorai himself would say the best, which could be regarded as an explanation to the fans to Dorai himself.
Xeuri was in the left-back position and his performance today was satisfying, perhaps to prove something, Xwuri worked very hard and strengthened his contribution to assists, which is where he has the biggest gap with Dorai.
West Brerom are already deep in the relegation zone and no one will believe that they can survive relegation, even if Chelsea are in a bad shape, they are not something they can disrupt.
The course of the game seemed to confirm that, as Gudjohnsen scored the only goal to secure Chelsea's tally of 71 points and keep them eight points ahead of Manchester United!
At this time, Lynn doesn't want the team to have any twists and turns in the league, let alone the Champions League.
Chelsea still have a tough game to play next, and Barcelona will certainly not bow their heads and admit defeat, with only one goal to go, they still have a chance. (To be continued......)
