Chapter 158: Time is running out for Chelsea
With his head down, Cesc Fabregas ran down the pitch towards the nearest perimeter and slowly walked back to the bench along the touchline.
Where do you still have the heart to run to the middle circle and high-five and hug Matic.
Even when Chelsea were two goals down, there were still scattered applause.
He turned his head to look at Bayer Leverkusen No.10 on the field.
There was a hint of envy in his eyes.
It's like seeing myself when I was 18 years old.
He suddenly remembered one thing: he also had to help his 16-year-old stepdaughter, Maria, and ask Lee for an autograph!
Forget it, she's not worthy.
The lap was reopened.
Remy ignored Pato's gesture.
A backfoot kick-off kick-off and a return pass to Nemanja Matic.
Lao Ma is the most trustworthy person.
You Pato can't even hold the ball in a minute.
Ay!
What's going on?
Leverkusen doesn't press?
"Bayer Leverkusen has changed from the previous crazy and aggressive style of oppression."
"The formation retreats deeply!"
"The game is going to move to the positional warfare stage."
Bender conveyed the coaching staff's tactical adjustments to his team-mates.
Bayer Leverkusen's formation methodically retreated to the 30-metre zone.
Only a physically energetic Son Xingmin was left in the frontcourt.
The South Korean striker may not be able to play positionally, but as long as he has space to sprint in a counter-attacking campaign, he can cause problems for Chelsea.
Chelsea quickly pushed forward to the 30-metre zone of the Bayer Leverkusen half.
Still not being forced.
Virgil van Dijk directed his team-mates in central midfield to shrink and retreat.
Brandt and Kai Havertz split between the left and right flanks to harass Chelsea's ball-handlers.
What about Li Kang?
He didn't go anywhere, as if he was out of the system, following Hazard closely.
Mikel was a little confused: his task was to stick to Li Kang and complete the "redemption tactic", but Li Kang ran to restrain Hazard.
"Bayer Leverkusen's defense, it's very Chelsea!"
"William, do you have a chance to get on your feet?"
Right side.
Willian received Nemanja Matic's ball.
After all, Lao Ma was the core of the attack at Benfica, and his small skills and organizational skills were first-class.
Brandt's defence was timely, blocking the Blues' path forward.
But it didn't work.
Willian didn't need to slow down at all, and his left foot stepped over the ball.
Brant didn't eat this trick "pedal bike" gesture!
As a result, William didn't step the second hit at all!
Push the ball to the outside with your right foot!
Speed!
Dash!
Got rid of the North Rhine chubby!
"It's so simple and efficient!"
'The once awe-free samba genius has found the best way to play at Chelsea!'
'Chelsea's attack is coming!'
William is unbeatable!
Look up at the crowded Leverkusen penalty area.
The idea of the cross was a little shaken.
Then see Pato's "walk on the ground" gesture to ask for it.
The idea of the cross is suddenly firm!
Professional football is very realistic, and when you can't get a passing performance, even the best teammates will distrust you.
Brandt chased back frantically.
It's late.
Willian adjusts and completes the kick-off cross!
The soccer ball rises off the ground.
It set off an extremely tricky micro-arc in the air.
Fall into the penalty area of Bayer Leverkusen!
"Nice low cross!"
"It's full of force!"
"Look at the ball!"
Willian's low cross was a stunt.
Ball speed and power.
Tricky lines can always get away from the goalkeeper.
Sharp diagonal spin makes it easy for defenders to score own goals when their headers clear.
Some Chelsea fans couldn't help but stand up with excitement!
They were hungry for an equaliser soon!
Bayer Leverkusen penalty area.
The head is staggering.
Van Dijk and Cahill continue their aerial conversation!
No one hit the ball!
"Rear point!"
"If you're not afraid of 10,000, you're afraid of Ivan!"
Ivanovic, who didn't know when he got in, jumped high!
No one can stop him!
Shake your head and hit the goal!
Bang!
The ball roared like a cannonball into the top right corner of the Bayer Leverkusen goal!
The hearts of all the Chelsea fans at the scene seemed to be pinched!
They look forward to it, they look forward to it
Blood boil!
But
A pair of yellow gloves extinguished all expectations!
Lionel.
His body stretched to the extreme in mid-air!
Pounce with both palms!
The domineering head hammer, the moment it was about to jump to the front line, the power came to an abrupt end.
"Heroic Divine Fight!"
"Unbelievable!"
"When Leno faces Chelsea, he always has a supernatural performance!"
"The crisis is not over!"
"Remy!"
Branislav Ivanovic's header was too powerful.
Even if Leno made a good save, it was difficult to avoid the consequences of getting out of his hands.
The ball bounced on the left side of the penalty area.
Remy strides, stretching out his long, black legs, and stabbing the ball hard!
Bang!
A white-clothed figure swept by.
Be one step ahead and get out of the way!
The ball fluttered out of bounds.
The audience sighed.
"Empty door!"
"Remy's feet only need to grow five centimeters longer to score goals!"
"Li Kang!"
"This solution is too crucial!"
"Bayer Leverkusen escaped!"
Remy slid a short distance on the turf, his ass aching hot.
Confused eyes: Isn't Li Kang's kid following Hazard?
Fack!
It turned out that Hazard's goods also ran in to grab points!
Li Kang bent over, pressed his hands on his knees, and gasped for air.
In the field of vision, Nesta's phantom refused to dissipate for a long time.
Negative emotions are spreading wildly.
He struggled to make the shadows in his brain shrink to calm his mind a little.
The achievement of the "Red and Black Soul" has increased the frequency of the appearance of the Milan star module, while also greatly enhancing the emotional load.
Pitchside.
Old man Toph hurriedly grabbed Kiessling, who had finished warming up.
The high-altitude defense of the positional battle still has to be replaced by the Bundesliga header monster.
After Dino finished communicating with the fourth official, he ran back to the bench, patted his chest, and said with palpitations: "Fortunately, we have more high points!" ”
The other side.
Hiddink's face is like a flat lake, and the waves are not alarmed.
But my heart is extremely impatient.
Quietly glanced at the time, and forcibly did not use the second substitution adjustment.
The scoreboard hanging in mid-air: 0:2 stung his heart.
The Dutch master's idea is very simple: there is nothing wrong with replacing Fabregas by himself, and in the face of a monster like Li Kang, he must use Mikel to complete the exchange
"Waist, you have to stiffen!"

[It's going to be an upset! 】
-
[Hiddink, Chelsea won't really be eliminated, right?] From having an away goal advantage to being two goals behind, it's terrible! 】
-
[I think Hiddink's tactical arrangement and personnel arrangement are not a problem, when playing against weak teams in the league, he often makes detailed changes, and the effect is obvious. 】
-
[It makes sense, Pato and Remy are also one notch higher than the average player of Leverkusen. 】
-
[I just met Li Mingdeng, and he tested the entire central axis in the first round, and I still want to play tricks in the second round? ] Doomed! 】
-
[Brothers, don't panic, Chelsea is very stable, overtaking every minute, remember to play the next game, Barcelona can advance with Atletico Madrid with your eyes closed, 100% stable! ] 】
-
[In tomorrow's Champions League 1/4 knockout round, Juventus will definitely be able to win Bayern, and Morata will be strong when he is strong! ] 】
-
[Real Madrid will not be the main force tomorrow, Manchester City will return to the home stadium and it is very likely to turn the tables and advance! ] 】
Stamford Bridge.
After Kiessling replaces Kai Havertz.
Leverkusen's high-altitude defensive pressure has plummeted.
The Bundesliga header monster is not only strong on the offensive end!
With the judgment of the ball path, the grasp of the timing of the jump, and the aggressiveness of the header.
Even William's low-level cross stunt was repeatedly defused by Kiessling's brain.
The timing of the game passed by the minute.
Chelsea didn't get any good fruit in the positional battle.
Hazard is getting more and more depressed, and he can't touch the ball at all.
He couldn't get rid of Li Kang, who was with him.
When his teammates saw Li Kang cruising nearby, they wouldn't pass the ball over at all.
Leno continued to resist highly, defusing the opponent's "weak" offensive again and again.
But there was no counter-attacking opportunity to shoot a fast goalball.
Chelsea's central midfield is solid.
Of course, the more the game goes by as time goes on, the more favorable it will be for Bayer Leverkusen.
Ultimately.
Beep! Beep~
The referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half!
'There are only 45 minutes left for Chelsea!'
"World coach Guus Hiddink must find a way to beat Bayer Leverkusen in the fifteen minutes of the break!"
"I believe that the majority of fans still have more confidence in Chelsea."
"Oscar and Diego Costa should be playing."
