Chapter 92: It's Too Cruel
Osman blocked Lampard's pass in front of the penalty area, he did not rush to clear, but steadily crossed the ball to Morris, Morris stopped the ball, Lampard came to press, Morris lay the ball slightly to the left, and shook off Lampard, he made a pass, Lampard was deceived, and Morris went straight through.
This wonderful achievement in his own backfield caused many fans to shout.
"Lee Morris, he's done a great job in front of his own box!" A commentator also shouted.
It's not something to be praised, it's very dangerous to go past people at the back, especially in front of the penalty area, and it's dangerous to get a tackle.
Fans only watch a wonderful thing, and the players are scared.
Morris has the confidence to fool Frank Lampard, and he's not bad at passing now, but he doesn't put the team in danger because of his confidence, and he's the kind of player who looks at the big picture.
So when Wan Sheng saw Morris's excellence, he knew that he must have his own ideas.
Sure enough, the next moment, Morris passed diagonally to Kluivert in front, Lampard was left behind, Makelele was on the other flank, Terry had just cut in before he could go back, and Kluivert received the pass with almost no blockage.
Everyone realized that this was a great opportunity!
"Look! Derby County fight back! ”
Osman's pass was too sudden, Lampard was shaken a little suddenly, the ball was passed to the halfway line with two feet, and when Kluivert received the ball, Chelsea had no time to go past and defend.
Kluivert stepped over and stopped the ball.
Looking at that sophisticated appearance, it can't help but remind people of the wonderful goal just now, and no one in Chelsea at this time dares to underestimate Kluivert anymore, because they have already seen the results of underestimation, they were overrun by Kluivert The whole line of defense, so now the only thought in their hearts is-
"Stop him!"
Maurice's pass was a stroke of genius and completely panicked the Chelsea defence. Frank Lampard desperately chased back, John Terry also ran back and Claude Makelele sprinted sideways, but Kluivert wasn't slow and there was still some distance left to catch up.
At this time, Chelsea's back is very empty, and there are large gaps everywhere!
"Derby's counter-attack is dangerous! It's dangerous! The London commentator who supported Chelsea exclaimed about the situation.
Many had been expecting Chelsea to score a pressing goal to equalise, but in the blink of an eye, Chelsea's defence was in danger, which made them a little flustered, and instead Derby County supporters cheered loudly. All of a sudden, I was excited because of the counterattack.
The situation was as Kluivert raced forward with the ball and the Chelsea players frantically retreated to chase the ball.
However, after running more than ten metres, Kluivert also had to slow down, because there were still players who could have time to defend: Chelsea's central defender Carvalho, and full-back Paolo Ferreira, who had not been inserted just now.
At this point, there is no longer any position to care about, Paolo Ferreira was originally a full-back, but now he has run sideways to the middle to intercept. He came before Carvalho, who also had to defend Bolton-Reitt at the same time, so he slowed down when he saw Ferreira passing.
Ferreira presses Kluivert. Beware of being thrown off by the other party.
After the goal, Chelsea's defenders are starting to take notice of Kluivert's pass, especially now if he is easily shaken past Kluivert. Then Chelsea's goal is really dangerous.
Especially thinking about the goal just now, Kluivert has beaten Carvalho twice, in the hearts of many Chelsea players. Carvalho must not have been able to stop Kluivert, after all, he was passed twice, and it is normal to be beaten a third time.
Maybe coming to Chelsea with Carvalho, the table is not as good as Carvalho, and Ferreira, who has been criticized by the media, is not qualified to say this about Carvalho, but many Chelsea players do think so in their hearts.
But immediately he knew why Carvalho was shaken so lightly!
In the face of Ferreira's defense, Kluivert is still very cautious, he slows down, and his eyes pay attention to the position of his teammates, in fact, at this time, only Bolton Reiter has the opportunity to receive the ball, Reiter's position is higher than him, but there is a Carvalho between him and Reiter, and it is not easy to pass the ball.
Kluivert wasn't the type of player who was good at passing, he was better at using his ability to find opportunities, so he immediately decided to break through on his own.
He half-bent over, lowered his center of gravity, and stared carefully at Ferreira in front of him.
He has been carrying the ball normally, but when the two are close, he accelerates violently, and the football is firmly protected on the right side of his body, Ferreira wants to intercept, but there is no way to kick out, and when he reacts, he should be close to the opponent and block the opponent from dribbling the ball, but the speed can no longer keep up.
Ferreira almost subconsciously reached out to grab the Kluivert jersey.
Kluivert was pulled and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately he controlled his center of gravity, barely kept his balance, and ran forward two more steps, at this time Ferrei's pulled Kluivert's jersey was lifted, but Kluivert did not signal the referee for a foul.
Now it's him with the ball, the offense is advantageous, and as long as Kluivert doesn't stop, the referee won't blow for a foul.
It was a nice position, just in front of the penalty area, about 25 meters from the goal.
But Kluivert thinks that this opportunity is much better than taking a free kick, so he has been watching the position of Carvalho and Bolton-Reit, obviously Ferreira's foul made Carvalho a little careless, maybe the other party thinks that the referee will award a free kick to Derby County next, then it is nothing for him to defend, as for Ferreira will get at least one yellow card, it is really a small comparison to a goal.
Obviously, in the minds of many people, Ferreira's choice is very correct.
But just when most people were slackening, Kluivert poked the ball in front of the right, and the ball flew out against the turf.
That's when the on-site narrator realized-
"The offensive is not over yet! It's not over yet! Golden opportunity! Kluivert's pass! Let's see"
The ball flew diagonally to the ground.
Carvalho tried to reach out to stop the ball, but he was a little careless and ended up in a bad position, so he could only watch the ball fly to his side.
Behind Carvalho, Bolton-Reiter took a step forward and stopped the ball.
By this time Burton-Reiter was already standing in the Chelsea penalty area!
Chelsea are in danger!
Goalkeeper Cudicini strikes.
It was a one-on-one goal without any blockage, and Carvalho couldn't have chased it back, and the rest of the Chelsea players slowed down because they knew they had no chance at all, and could only watch the opposition striker and their own goalkeeper face each other.
Bolton Reiter took two steps forward, set the pace and swung his right foot!
When the two were close to about three meters, his right foot was pumped behind the football, and the football was directly lifted on the spot by this powerful impact, heading straight for the goal.
Cudicini showed a world-class level of save as he pounced to the right and his arm kept the ball out.
"Cudicini! Cudicini! He hit the ball! He's done for Chelsea! Nice save! World-class saves! Ahh
Just as the commentator exclaimed and the Chelsea supporters breathed a sigh of relief, soon with a turn in the commentator's voice, the hearts of everyone in the audience were lifted again.
I saw a figure appear in front of the football that bounced to the corner of the penalty area!
"Frank Ribery - !!"
The narrator hissed in a lengthened voice.
From the beginning of the counterattack, Ribery has been running forward, all he wants is to find an opportunity, even if the counterattack is likely to not catch up, but it is good to run two steps forward and see the result up close, not to mention, maybe there is a chance?
Now the opportunity has come.
The jackpot has just fallen from the sky!
Seeing that Bolton Reiter's shot was blocked by the opposing goalkeeper, he slowed down and was ready to retreat to the defense, who knew that the football bounced directly to his feet at this time the Chelsea goal was empty, this is a good opportunity that falls from the sky, and it is rare to encounter it once in a season.
Ribery suppressed the excitement in his heart and faced the football with a dull shot.
The ball flew back into the air, making a parabola and heading straight for the Chelsea goal.
It was a shot that really felt like it was in the hearts of Chelsea fans, who closed their mouths and noses and watched as the football flew into their own goal.
“Gooooooooooal!”
“Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! ”
The Derby County fans in the stands and many of the neutral fans shouted excitedly, while at the same time, it was unknown how many fans were doing the same in front of the television.
Then the narrator's voice rang out, "Gooooal!!" The ball is in!! Derbyshire!! Ribery!! 2:0!! ”
"The first half wasn't over yet, Derby County were already 2-0 up! Franck Franck Ribery's follow-up shot in front of him dealt a heavy blow to Chelsea! ”
The Chelsea fans in the stands were stunned, they didn't expect the team to be two goals down in the first half, is this still the Chelsea team that claims to be the best defensive in the Premier League? They found it incredulous and, more importantly, found that their hopes of victory had become smaller.
Trailing by two goals in the first half and coming back in the second half is too hard, so what are the chances of Chelsea beating Derby County to win the Carabao Cup?
2:0, it's cruel for Chelsea! (To be continued......)
