Chapter 140: Crisis in Leverkusen!
Barcelona.
Cruyff lay weakly in his hospital bed.
Around stood a group of Barcelona executives in suits and leather shoes.
Among them, a middle-aged man with glasses and white sideburns said, "On the part of the Foundation"
He is Barcelona's current **: Bartomeu.
Before last year's ** general election, the Cruyff Foundation's philanthropy returned, and several Spanish banks built a number of stadiums in the Catalan region, which members mistakenly thought was Bartomeu's work!
Bartomeu won a lot of votes, which, combined with MSN's "treble", allowed him to renew his term.
It was only then that the Barcelona hierarchy realised the importance of this lifetime honour to the club.
Cruyff didn't answer the question, raised his hand and pointed to the TV and said: "I'm going to watch Bayer Leverkusen." β
Robert hurriedly picked up the remote control and turned on the TV.
Bartomeu added: "We will renew Messi's contract as soon as possible, he will live at Barcelona!" β
"The club has prepared a charity match and Ronaldinho will return to Barcelona as an ambassador for the club. And "
'There's also Juventus' Paul Pogba, who we got our first refusal last summer and who fits perfectly into Barca's midfield system.
Robert hurriedly made a hint: his palms quietly raised four fingers.
"La Masia's No. 8!"
Poof!
Several high-level executives with technical backgrounds couldn't hold back!
Bartomeu looked embarrassed and glanced at Robert viciously!
Fortunately, he was quick to think and quickly explained:
"Position 4! I'm referring to Pogba being able to match two No.4s."
In the ward, thunderous applause instantly rang out.
If he weren't involved in football, Bartomeu would be a very good politician.
He is the third generation of the Catalan chaebol.
Basketball player.
As a young man, he played for a few days against Barça's rivals, Espanyol.
Cruyff, who had brushed shoulders with death, was not annoyed, he stared at the television and waved for everyone to leave.
The Barcelona executives were relieved and hurriedly left.
"Ruhl stay."
Before leaving, Robert gave a hard look and signaled the youth director not to talk nonsense.
Ruhl nodded earnestly, with a humble face.
A moment later.
Only the master and apprentice were left in the huge ward.
"Mr. Cruyff, Barcelona is even sicker than you!"
"We can't get Lee back at Camp Nou, Robert and Enrique will take him."
On the TV screen, the score was 0:1.
Cruyff laughed: "Our crown prince of La Masia is about to experience a crushing defeat. β
Ruhr said seriously: "Mourinho's kid studied La Masia very thoroughly back then, no matter which club he coached, he was Barcelona's toughest enemy!"
Bayer Arena.
The game was at a stalemate.
Chelsea haven't started running buses yet.
Bayer Leverkusen's advance has been repeatedly blocked.
Li Kang didn't encounter any restrictions, but he couldn't find any way to get the ball forward.
Nemanja Matic and Cesc Fabregas formed a central barrier that completely stifled all passes that threatened the backline.
Many people have the false impression that the core of the organization like Cesc Fabregas and Andrea Pirlo are weak defensively.
Actually, it's not weak.
When they don't need to be a midfield dealer at some point in the game, their defensive and interception skills are among the best in their league.
Cesc Fabregas faced many key battles during his time at Chelsea and was even able to contribute more than 80 per cent of his tackle success rate.
Players with a single function have long been knocked down by the tide of the times.
The strength of the league is different, and the object of comparison is also different.
For example: throw Maguire into the Chinese Super League, he will be a top striker!
18th minute of the game.
Calhanoglu faced Willian's pressure and quickly passed the ball back to Papadopoulos!
The latter ball is not stopped yet!
The Oscars are coming as scheduled!
Syllable!
Stretch out your feet and poke it!
Take the ball and steal it with ease!
"Dangerous!"
"This mistake is too low-level!"
'Chelsea's attack is back!'
Although Oscar has a scummy character, he fits perfectly into Chelsea's tactical system.
The reason why he was able to squeeze out Juan Mata and De Bruyne is very important is the defensive ability and enthusiasm!
Thirty-meter area!
Papadopoulos wants to counter-attack on the spot.
Oscar's foot skills are excellent.
With a simple pull, you can easily shake off the passing space!
Syllable!
A straight stopper!
Break through the Bayer Leverkusen backline again!
Diego Costa took Van Dijk!
Hazard twisted his big butt and burst out with an extremely terrifying starting speed, riding in the dust!
Jonatan Ta didn't even have a chance to block with a foul!
"Single Knife!"
"Hazard!"
Pitchside.
Old man Toph slumped in the coach's seat.
Dino looked horrified.
Hiddink smiled and stretched out his arms, ready to celebrate.
Van Dijk immediately gave up on the Chelsea striker and rushed towards the goal!
He knew he couldn't catch up with Hazard and tried to help the goalkeeper block the space!
'Judging by the rush line, as long as I seal the far corner, Leno seals the near corner.'
The train of thought was suddenly interrupted!
A magical scene has appeared!
Eden Hazard in front of the penalty area.
The whole person and the ball "brake" at the same time!
A pause!
Let Van Dijk not stop either!
Accompanied by the exclamations of fans on both sides.
Hazard swings his leg slightly!
Leno can't judge the shape of the opponent's feet and the direction of the goal!
Bang!
The ball sticks to the turf and sweeps towards the bottom left corner of the Leverkusen gate!
It's the space Van Dijk hesitates to block!
In the game from the Premier League to the Champions League, the Dutch central defender once again lost slightly!
Luckily, soccer eventually slipped off the bottom line!
The audience was in an uproar!
Hazard's expression was slightly regretful, and he raised his arm to signal that he had wasted his chance.
"It's too much for angles!"
"It's a pity, it's just a little bit!"
'The cheers of the Chelsea fans are getting louder and louder! They are confident of winning this game! β
Live room.
Barrage swipe.
-
[Worthy of last season's Premier League champions!] γ
-
[Chelsea is very steady, will not create a massacre, this game is 0:3!] γ
-
[The difference in strength is too big, unless there are two Van Dijk on the backline!] γ
-
γLi Minglantern's Spell. To be broken today! It's useless to call for rain, Chelsea prefer rain! Hey! γ
-
[With the development of modern football, the role of individual ability is getting smaller and smaller, waiting for Li Mingdeng to strategize to break the game! γ
-
[It is difficult to have a chance to break the game, the team built by Mourinho will "change form" at every stage of the game time! ] γ
Bayer Leverkusen fans felt the despair.
Old man Toph is like a defeated rooster.
In the face of the huge difference in strength, he couldn't think of any tactical adjustments.
Even with three central defenders.
Chelsea are still in the middle of the pitch with you!
The overall running speed is not a grade!
What if Li Kang is allowed to play Harvey's "slow push"? That would have been beaten even harder by Chelsea.
Dino paced back and forth anxiously.
"Boss, we may have to stop in the quarter-finals of the Champions League."
The other side.
Hiddink applauded in satisfaction.
As long as they don't command blindly, Chelsea can easily take away a victory from North Rhine!
Leno takes the goalball.
He didn't dare pass it to Papadopoulos and Jonatan Tower!
After Van Dijk received the ball, Diego Costa was menacing!
Chelsea's players on almost the entire offensive line, the ability to press is also a dimensionality reduction blow for ordinary powerhouses!
The Dutch centre-back can only pass back to the goalkeeper again!
Leno has the heart to die.
Not to mention the midfield advancement.
Now I can't even play the ball in the backfield!
The Bayer Leverkusen goalkeeper has just stepped on the ball.
Oscar frantically pressed forward again!
Syllable!
The soccer ball flew off the line!
"Oh, it's dangerous!"
'Chelsea's corners!'
"Although Oscar was transformed into a four-way by Mourinho, facing a team like Bayer Leverkusen, it is a dimensionality reduction blow!"
'There was no expectation of strict defending, Chelsea played a horrible aggressive game!'
Bayer Leverkusen's penalty area is full of players from both sides.
Cesc Fabregas raises his hand and sends in a corner!
Syllable!
Football doesn't fall straight into the box!
Instead, it was passed to the feet of nearby William!
The exploding head of the Chelsea wing, shake slightly!
Bella Rabi quickly grabbed it!
William's shoulders sank, leaned forward, and buckled the ball at his feet!
Easily shake off the Bayer Leverkusen winger!
Meanwhile.
The angle of the long shot is also out!
Bang!
Bang!
The football swirled violently, making a strange arc and roaring towards the door of Bayer Leverkusen!
Leno's vision was blocked by his teammates, and he couldn't make a save at the first time!
Bayer Leverkusen fans, all thoughts are lost!
It was a long-range shot that hung straight into the dead end!
Old man Top's expression was glazed.
Dino's legs trembled.
Hiddink laughed!
Football is not in front of the entry line.
Bayer Leverkusen No. 10 jumps high!
It's that unbelievable height again!
Bang!
Li Kang shook his head and pushed the ball out of bounds!
The phantom of the little goat, weakly kneeling on the turf, gradually dissipated
William almost couldn't help but give Li Kang a thumbs up.
The stands on all four sides of the Bayer Arena are permeated by two emotions.
Despair and hope.
Leverkusen's despair.
Chelsea's hope.
"It's dangerous!"
"Li Kang's header in front of the goal line is cleared, wonderful!"
"I have to say, William's footwork is outstanding! This kind of Chelsea's midfield has almost no shortcomings! The arc is so beautiful! β
"William's nickname is Mourinho's version of Ronaldo!"
"He was in Brazil and in the Ukrainian Super League, and he was a complete Ronaldo style! In the early days of joining Chelsea, under Di Matteo, he also liked to play tricks. β
"Jose Mourinho has changed his style of play to be more pragmatic!"
'We saw that Chelsea's substitutes were warming up! Everyone's name is thunderous! The bench is too thick. β
"It's good to be rich."
The minutes ticked by.
Chelsea didn't put a bus.
They are using the same way they are dealing with the lower teams of the Premier League, frantically besieging Bayer Leverkusen!
forced Li Kang to retreat to the big penalty area to assist Van Dijk and Leno to resolve the danger.
The 38th minute of the game!
Oscar sends a delicate cross from the top of the arc of the penalty area!
Van Dijk leaps high and clears with a header!
There is no far from the siege!
The football falls to the right side of the penalty area!
Li Kang and Diego Costa rushed to the penalty area at the same time!
The shadow in the brain spreads wildly!
The shadow of the foal suddenly emerges!
Bang!
There was a fierce hand-to-hand fight from the close-up sound device!
Diego Costa felt a terrifying strange force hit him, and he stumbled!
But at the moment when he fell to the ground, he exerted force on his heels, used the end of breastfeeding, and vigorously hugged Li Kang's chest!
What is it?
That's the experience!
Hugging the waist will be dragged away, and hugging the chest will interfere with the center of gravity of the other party's body!
Chelsea's confrontation ability is a super-first-class existence in the current five major leagues!
Not to mention fouls!
Li Kang seems to be a fierce beast trapped in chains!
Diego Costa's pupils shrank, and while the whole person was moved, he exerted his strength again!
The referee puts the whistle to his mouth.
But I saw the left foot of Bayer Leverkusen No. 10 and touched the football!
In the middle of the Bayer Arena, football leaps into the sky!
Li Kang lay heavily on his back in Diego Costa's arms!
"Bayer Leverkusen's counterattack!"
'Chelsea are going to pay the price for this period of onslaught!'
Near the middle circle!
Sun Xingmin quietly started!
He and Li Kang have a high tacit understanding.
Gradually, before Li Kang sends a long pass, he can find the most suitable counterattack route!
Bayer Leverkusen fans cheer wildly!
Old Man Toph and Dino raised their hands wildly on the sidelines, signaling the other attacking players to follow the rhythm! Increase your attack points!
They know that even if Son Heung-min wins, it will be difficult to break through the Chelsea backline!
Hiddink's expression was calm.
He lifted his eyes with his middle finger.
After all, he is a famous coach, and he has long known what Leverkusen is best at counter-attacking.
So.
Son Heung-min couldn't get the ball.
A tall figure stuck Sun Xingmin's forward line.
Gary Cahill!
A top-class centre-back who is seriously underrated.
Sun Xingmin tried to bypass the other party and increased his speed again, but it seemed to hit a city wall!
Where the ball lands.
Terry lifted his foot to stop the ball and gently pushed it to Courtois.
He couldn't help but sigh: Leverkusen's No. 10 pass is really high quality and comfortable to stop, but unfortunately no matter how good the pass is, it also needs teammates to be able to receive it.
"Terry was cautious in his choice!"
"Bayer Leverkusen's formation was out of order, he didn't choose to play the ball right away, but handed it to goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois!"
'There's no hurry, Chelsea are one goal ahead!'
"This move should be a signal to slow down the pace!"
The Bayer Leverkusen fans fell silent.
There was a round of applause from the Chelsea stands.
Old man Toph covered his forehead in pain.
Hiddink turned to the bench to talk and laugh.
"That kid is very good at spotting the weaknesses and vulnerabilities of his opponent, and then using his strengths to gain the upper hand in the game."
"It's a pity, what Mourinho left behind is too perfect."
"Even Habaib and Pirlo have suffered a lot."
Diego Costa stood up and pulled Li Kang up.
I slapped him on the ass.
"You have so much strength that you almost dislocated my arm!"
The referee stopped the game and gave a verbal warning to the Chelsea striker.
Live room.
The barrage floated.
-
[The central defender combination of Cahill and Terry is really stable! ] γ
-
[Immediately halftime, Chelsea's game really doesn't need to be watched, waking up is 0:2 at most!] γ
-
This game tells us that football is a team sport. Li Mingdeng is powerless to return to the sky! γ
-
[Why do Chelsea players always get back to normal after Mourinho's dismissal?] Whether it's Mu Phase I or Mu Phase II]
-
[To tell a horror story, last season's PFA Team of the Year, Chelsea started 11 men, and 8 of them were in the squad. γ
Didn't lick Chelsea, didn't lick any of the Blues, I'll watch the game when I'm done, keep it for a few days
