Chapter 160: The Dream of the Blue Bridge
The Blues players didn't have time to celebrate.
Nemanja Matic immediately picked up the ball from the net and ran back to the centre circle.
Diego Costa frantically shook his hands towards the stands.
Stamford Bridge is no longer the quiet library!
Young Chelsea fans, shouting wildly.
“Chelsea!!!”
“Chelsea!!!”
“Chelsea!!!”
The score was narrowed to one goal, rekindling the hope of overtaking!
Bayer Leverkusen's defenders are bitter.
The alignment is crushed, and it is impossible to prevent it.
Leno kicked the post hard.
He played well tonight, but he couldn't stand the fragility of the backline, even Real Madrid's peak super goalkeeper - Navas, returned to the Costa Rica national team and could not escape the heavy result.
Van Dijk patiently encouraged Jonatan Tower: "Don't lose your position, learn to go back!" ”
Bender and Kramer felt guilty.
In the athletic defense, he was crushed by Ivanovic so easily.
VIP box.
Abu applauded vigorously and scolded with a smile: "Hiddink, isn't it over if you go to Diego Costa early?" Remy and Pato are only suitable for the minor league. ”
The staff nodded hurriedly: "The Super League's offer for Remy is 14 million pounds, and the one-time payment will be settled." ”
Hearing this, Abu was stunned for two seconds and said in surprise: "Don't they need to use their brains to buy people?" What a fool and a lot of money! ”
Ramirez for 28 million euros, forget it.
Can Remy still be worth 100 million yuan?
The staff added: "There is another Chinese Super League club that is interested in Oscar and the initial offer is 58 million."
The tone couldn't hide the excitement.
Chelsea are not only debt-free European powerhouses, they are also in a very healthy position.
If Remy and Oscar are packaged and sold to the Chinese Super League, it will take two years for nothing, and you can make tens of millions of pounds!
Abu was silent.
After a moment, he said: "Tell Skaia and ask her to respect the attitude of the player herself, Chelsea are not short of money. ”
Oscar is still very young, and even if he leaves Chelsea, he is fully capable of sitting in the main position in the top five leagues.
Pitchside.
Old man Toph urged Calhanoglu and Belarabi to warm up quickly.
Chelsea have been striking at this stage.
The intensity of the game will be high.
The physical exertion of the Bayer Leverkusen players will be intense.
Substitutions must be made in a time slot of 60 to 70 minutes.
Dino was nervous and asked, "Boss, is it useful to replace them?" I recommend changing Papadopoulos! ”
Old man Toph shook his head: "It's hard to hold on, we have to release Lee!" Kick around him! ”
The other side.
Hiddink regained his handsome demeanor.
Sit back in the dugout, fold your hands over your chest and smile.
There was no command.
Chelsea's group of players just have to play at their normal level
Overtake? Isn't that something to be taken for granted?
The lap was reopened.
Kiessling kicks off and crosses Son Heung-min.
The South Korean striker received the ball and immediately passed it back to Lee Kang.
God's perspective.
Diego Costa and Oscar went on a frenzied rush.
"First line of defense" composition.
Branislav Ivanovic once again crossed the centre circle.
Echoing Willian, Oscar, Hazard, and Nemanja Matic.
The "second line of defense" is no longer sandwich biscuits.
Then.
Mikel dropped back to fill the gap on the right flank.
The "third line of defense" has moved forward steadily.
Muslim buses aren't just for defense.
Chelsea's formation at the moment, in a form of overwhelming form, domineering towards Bayer Leverkusen's half.
Li Kang runs back and forth in the backfield, and in the gap between passes, he must also respond to teammates who are forced to rob, and look for opportunities to counterattack.
I want to break through the "second line of defense" of the Muslim bus.
You need to guide your teammates to run.
However, the current situation does not meet this condition at all.
Bayer Leverkusen's players are unable to maintain the triangle space in a high-pressure situation like the Spanish national team.
When Chelsea's bus ran over into the 40-metre zone.
Sudden mutations.
"Oops, Bender's mistake!"
"Oscar intercepts the ball with ease!"
'Chelsea's attack is here again!'
The blue bus suddenly picked up speed.
There is no need for any complex offensive tactics.
With the individual ability of the midfielder, he can break Leverkusen's defense to pieces!
Kramer, who came over to help defend it, resolutely counterattacked.
Oscar's shot angle is blocked.
Raise your right foot and knock the ball behind you.
Nemanja Matic came up on the ball.
He has a delicate technique that does not match his size.
There are no bells and whistles to dispatch and transfer, and there is no need to look for any flaws in the defensive line.
A sweep of the thighs.
The ball smashed straight into Bayer Leverkusen's backfield!
Because, there's Diego Costa!
"With a strong top centre-forward, it's a lot easier for the passer."
"That's why Hiddink removed Cesc Fabregas."
"Against the Bayer Leverkusen backline, you don't need too much passing accuracy."
"Diego Costa is a guarantee of impact!"
Stamford Bridge, Chelsea's anthem rings!
The soccer ball falls near the top of the arc of the penalty area.
Bounce high.
Van Dijk can't go back.
He observed that there were no other Chelsea reinforcements.
While jamming Diego Costa's position, he raised his hand to command Jonatan Tower, who is closest to the football, to clear the ball quickly!
It's a perfect defensive strategy.
But.
The Dutch centre-back faces the pinnacle Blues striker.
Since Didier Drogba's retirement, Chelsea's last reliable striker!
The beastly man who terrified the European line.
Diego Costa!
Accompanied by the shouts of Stamford Bridge.
Van Dijk collapsed on the turf in despair.
Jonata Ta's burst was slow, rushing to the ball and just as he was about to clear the ball, he saw Diego Costa killing red-eyed.
There is no suspense in the physical contest.
The Chelsea striker has a nimble pace that is contrary to his strong physique, with his right leg reaching out and firmly in control of the ball.
Ignoring the obstruction of the black centerback.
Launch a dash!
Leverkusen's defense line at this time has been turned upside down!
Old man Toph was dumbfounded.
Dino opened his mouth wide.
Hiddink shuddered.
"It's tough!"
"This is the striker that many teams dream of!"
"Good chance!"
"It's time to knock on the door!"
Diego Costa's shot was subtle, making it difficult for the goalkeeper to judge the direction of the save.
But it's different with Li Kang.
His leg swing is small, but he can blast extremely domineering bursts.
After all, it's the killer who competed with Mero for the Golden Boot.
Syllable!
Not a sky-piercing explosion.
The moment Diego Costa finished his shot, he stabbed the ball with one toe.
The ball flew off the line in a fluttering way.
Like a kite with a broken string.
Stamford Bridge, sighs are endless.
Tens of thousands of Chelsea fans were lamenting the missed shot.
Diego Costa looked confused: This is okay?
When you see the number of the opponent's jersey.
I was relieved.
He couldn't help but pat Li Kang's ass and give him a thumbs up.
"Oops! Can this also fly? It's not Diego Costa's normal level, his marksmanship."
"Let's look at slow-motion replay."
"Wonderful! Li Kang's left foot affected the opponent's contact with the ball when shooting! ”
"A contest between two Spanish teammates."
"Incredible!"
"Only a defender of the historical caliber of Maldini and Nesta can do that, right?"
"Such a god-level midfielder is too rare! The closest template to him in history, perhaps, is Gurlit? ”
Duan Xuan and He Wei worked hard to maintain an objective stance.
On the one hand, I was amazed by Li Kang's magical performance at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.
On the one hand, I feel sorry for him, this kind of hard work of being a father and a mother.
Li Kang had never been so tired as he was tonight.
In his field of vision, Nesta's phantom still refused to retreat.
"Red and Black Soul" magnifies the second personality of Super Shenwei.
Arrogant.
Susceptible.
Fierce.
Nesta wasn't as "elegant" as the news media portrayed him, he had a temper tantrum.
Pitchside.
Old man Toph did not rejoice for the rest of his life, and sighed: "Every time he returned to the penalty area, he gave up a lot of things"
Dino nodded vigorously in agreement, adding: "Lee seems to have spotted a flaw in Chelsea's forward press, but unfortunately his teammates can't give support on the counter-attack."
"If the backline can solve the problem on its own and then complete the counter-attacking transition, Lee can be up front."
The other side.
Hiddink looked at the time, and became impatient.
Damn, we've got to score two more goals!
VIP box.
Abu frowned and chattered:
"Bayer Leverkusen's coaching team is not as good as me knowing the ball!"
"How can they let a genius like Lee get back to the back line?"
"Modern football has developed to this day, and in the same timeline, if you let the midfielder do the work on the defensive end, you will inevitably lose a good opportunity to counterattack and connect!"
"They made Lee play such ugly football, they were eating Eskimo ice cream with a golden spoon!"
The staff chimed in.
I can't help but wonder: if Lee does join Chelsea, how will the team be built around him?
The minutes of the game passed.
All the audience became more and more nervous.
Chelsea's attacking style was simple and brutal, ravaging Leverkusen's delicate backline.
Virgil van Dijk led his team back into the box.
Li Kang was active in front of the big forbidden area, constantly running back and forth to make up for defense, and repeatedly resolved critical and dangerous situations.
God's perspective.
Chelsea's high defence, there are frequent flaws.
But he couldn't create counter-attacking opportunities in the changing possession and fierce confrontations.
It's just that Mikel, Matic, and Ivanovic are too dense in counter-grabbing.
Bayer Leverkusen's counter-attacking tandem was handed over to Calhanoglu, who came on as a substitute.
It's a pity that the core of the midfield lost the passing accuracy of a hundred steps when he was interfered with.
Fierce battles.
The intensity of the game was unusually intense, and the physical strength of all Leverkusen teammates was running out quickly.
Even Li Kang himself, his movements gradually couldn't keep up with his brain.
"Crumbling line of defense."
"In positional battles, the physical exertion of the defenders will be greater."
'Chelsea are one breath away from scoring.
"Li Kang's every clearance is crucial, but it is very, very physically demanding, and he is a mobile shield."
"The game is still full of suspense!"
Live room.
The audience was anxious.
-
[Chelsea is still fighting? It's almost 80 minutes, and now the score is 1:2, can they still score two goals to eliminate Bayer Leverkusen? 】
-
[I really hate this kind of scene, if Li Mingdeng continues to defend like this, the Chelsea players should have a broken will, lose morale, and give up the game. That's reasonable, don't watch his games in the future! 】
-
[You look stupid, right? What kind of ancient routine, can you still say stupid words like "loss of morale", professional players take money to work, and the whole world is staring at it! Lazy to try? 】
84th minute of the game.
Bellarabi, who came on as a substitute, defended Hazard!
But it's guarded by hand!
Left side of the front of the big penalty area.
Facing the unstoppable British superhuman king, the black striker couldn't help but put his arm around the opponent's waist.
After Hazard fell to the ground.
Beep!
The referee blows the whistle.
'Chelsea got a free-kick opportunity from a great position!'
"The tidal wave of offensive has finally paid off!"
"Bella Rabi received a yellow card for her pulling action."
"There is hope at Stamford Bridge!"
Pitchside.
Old man Toph covered his eyes nervously.
Dino's expression was entangled: "If Willian is allowed to punish this position, it is no different from a penalty." ”
The coaching staff took a closer look at Chelsea's set-piece characteristics before the game.
I don't know if I don't look at it.
I was shocked when I saw it.
Willian's free-kick percentage so far this season is as high as 22%!
The other side.
Hiddink couldn't sit still, and he excitedly walked to the command area.
Affectionately looking at the wall of people in the arrangement.
There's still a chance!
How can Bayer Leverkusen stop us!
Stamford Bridge, fell silent.
Leno stands in the far corner of the goal, directing the human wall.
Willian and Oscar covered their mouths and communicated, and then scattered on both sides of the football.
Beep!
Accompanied by a whistle from the referee.
William moved.
He is the freshest free-kick master of the season.
Four of five penalties in the Champions League.
The hit rate is up to 80%.
Take a free kick as a penalty.
I don't dare to write like that.
Bang!
After a three-step run.
The inside of the right foot of the samba genius hit hard under the football!
In a flash.
Bayer Leverkusen players are jumping!
The soccer ball is sticking to the turf and is about to pass under the human wall!
Li Kang didn't jump.
In the field of vision, Nesta's phantom is manic, and Bergkamp's phantom struggles out!
Barrier + Stop the Ball!
It was a surprise to everyone.
Bayer Leverkusen's No. 10 stepped out of his right leg and stopped the passing football!
It's not a breakdown!
It's a stop!
The football obediently landed fifty centimeters in front of him!
The players on both sides didn't react at all!
"Supergod truncation?"
"It's horrible!"
"Chelsea's slash to the ground came to an abrupt end!"
"Li Kang!"
William held the exploding head, his eyes glazed.
What the is that? De Gea can't do it, right?
Dino snapped Old Man Topp's fingers.
Hiddink's face turned pale.
Abu was dumbfounded.
The tens of thousands of spectators at Stamford Bridge were jaw-dropping.
God's perspective.
Chelsea's backfield is like an empty aristocratic garden.
Syllable!
Li Kang took the ball and began to speed up!
Counterattack?
From in front of your own penalty area, counterattacking to the opponent's penalty area?
Is it possible?
Possible!
Bella Rabi was the first to react.
He ran wildly and quickly overtook Li Kang, who was advancing with the ball.
Mbappe's goal to fame in Ligue 1 at Monaco is not over yet.
In the speed rating of the five major leagues: Bella Rabi is the fastest black man!
Fourth in the world!
35.27 km/h without the ball!!
'Chelsea put all their forces into set-pieces!'
"Li Kang's speed is very fast!"
"There's Bella Rabi at the front court!"
"The opponent of the two, only Terry is dragged at the back of the formation!"
"Oh! William caught up! ”
The Leverkusen fans who went out with the army shouted wildly!
Suffered the whole second half.
Towards the end of the race, I finally saw hope again!
William's professional attitude is very good.
Didn't be shocked for long.
He used his strength to catch up with Li Kang.
Even if it is a foul, stop the counterattack of the North Rhine genius!
He reached out and grabbed the hem of the No. 10 jersey.
Syllable!
The football has left Li Kang's left foot.
Like an arrow.
Swift as the wind.
Passed behind Terry!
The Chelsea centre-back immediately turned around, only to see the white-robed black man passing by!
"Bella Rabi!"
"Single Knife!"
"Courtois has attacked!"
Tear and pull!
William froze in place, with a white cloth in the palm of his right hand.
He couldn't stop Li Kang's wild pace!
Lens elongation!
Chelsea half-time.
Only three people can be seen!
Bella Rabi, one dozen two!
Thirty-meter area.
The moment Bella Rabi touches the ball.
The speed slows down suddenly.
Facing the oncoming Courtois.
He was nervous.
Behind him was still Terry who was chasing closely.
How a T2.5 forward plays two T0 defenders.
Hanging shots and picks and bolts, there's no room.
He's got great physically, but he's most criticized for his vision and awareness.
The brain went blank.
I can't see the environment clearly.
The expression is dull.
Seeing Courtois about to destroy the ball!
The small braised eggs with an exaggerated receding hairline reflect the spotlight at Stamford Bridge.
A flash of inspiration.
It's a flash!
Right!
I'm going to learn Cazorla!
I can't see it though!
But Lee will definitely catch up!
In the eyes of everyone in the audience.
Long black legs, grab in front of Courtois's Nike sneakers, and sweep the ball!
"Diagonal passback?"
"Didn't you deduct it?"
"Waste. Pretty! What kind of vision and ball quotient does Bella Rabi have? ”
"Li Kang!"
Football is not given much force.
But there is nothing left for Chelsea's defence.
In the footage.
The figure of the number 10 in white has made all Chelsea fans despair.
It was an undisturbed location.
It's a long-range shot practice on the training ground!
Old man Top's eyes were red with excitement.
Dino was stunned.
Hiddink maintained the movement of lifting his glasses, and his hands refused to let go for a long time.
Li Kang turned to football.
In the field of vision, there is no longer any phantom of a legendary star.
All negative emotions dissipate.
The shadow from the brain curls into a black dot.
I don't have the strength anymore.
This time, the finishing blow.
There is no assistance.
His heart is as calm as water.
Bang!
Unremarkable inside instep thrust!
There are no exaggerated arcs.
There is no momentum to pull out a thousand pounds.
There is no such thing as a blazing ball speed.
The ball just clung to the turf and rolled towards the gate of Stamford Bridge.
Courtois didn't have time to chase back.
He turned.
Watch Chelsea's vaunted concrete defence.
I was pierced by an ordinary shot.
The ball silently skimmed across the goal line and lifted the net of white flowers.
Stamford Bridge, silent.
All hope is completely shattered.
It's like a dream again.
Chelsea fans are struggling to accept the reality of what is happening in front of them.
Hiddink didn't know when he sat on the turf.
Abu in the VIP box is mixed with joy and sorrow.
1:3!!!
"One arrow through the heart!"
"No problem!"
"In the 87th minute of the game, Li Kang killed the game!"
'According to the principle of away goals, Chelsea have to score three more goals to qualify!'
"Will there be a miracle at Stamford Bridge?"
"Tonight, Li Kang is a miracle in itself!"
"Bayer Leverkusen, hold on for the last few minutes and be able to break into the last four of the Champions League again!"
"He is the strongest barrier in North Rhine, and the sharpest blade!"
"Two shots, one pass, three goals."
"Li Kang has carried Leverkusen here, and he can go further and farther!"
Live room.
Barrage flies.
-
[Big upset! ] 】
-
[Chelsea was unexpectedly breached by Li Kang in the way of Ballack and Lampard! ] 】
-
[What Pjanic and Pogba go aside, I would like to call Li Kang the strongest midfielder of the new generation. 】
-
[Crying, why did Chelsea draw Bayer Leverkusen!] Isn't it okay to smoke Barcelona! 】
Pitchside.
Old man Toph and the players on the bench hugged each other tightly.
Dino wiped his eyes: "Boss, there is so much sand in London"
The other side.
Hiddink sat on the turf, his eyes glazed.
No matter how others shout.
He didn't want to get up either.
Wrong.
It was me who was wrong.
The proud Dutch coach is full of guilt.
VIP box.
The staff was silent.
Abu was not as angry as he had been.
"There's no shame in losing."
"It's not as bad as you think."
"Let Hiddink get back to the Premier League for the rest of his life."
Bella Rabi excitedly hugged Li Kang's shoulder.
"Lee, I've long observed your location!"
"Let's think of a piece!"
Teammates gathered around.
Leno ran all the way to the celebration site.
After the carnival.
It's like everyone is in a dream.
Even many teammates never dreamed that they would be so close to the Champions League semi-finals.
Epilogue stage.
Chelsea didn't give up.
They are still attacking the gates of Bayer Leverkusen.
No one counts how many goals are needed to advance anymore.
In the 95th minute of the game, the last minute of stoppage time.
Willian kicked a long-range shot from the arc of the penalty area and blasted the door open for Bayer Leverkusen.
2:3!!!
There was no celebration.
Stamford Bridge is like a quiet library.
Beep! Beep~
Eleventh hour.
The referee blew the whistle for the end of the match.
Some rejoice.
Some people are grieving.
'Bayer Leverkusen advanced, Chelsea were eliminated.'
"It was an outcome that most fans didn't expect before the game."
"Football is like this, the joy of one side sets off the sadness of the other, and the extreme emotions of human beings are fully reflected and released at this moment."
'Willian's face was covered with tears, Courtois buried his head deep in his knees, Hazard took the hamburger from the staff, and Cahill gently stroked Azpilicueta's hair.
"It doesn't matter if your favorite team wins or loses, as long as you feel what it shows on the field, the game is not in vain."
"Li Kang and his friends have continued their journey in this Champions League, and they may have to go to the Bernabeu, Etihad, Camp Nou, Calderon, Turin, Munich"
"Bless them, bless this fledgling talented midfielder, and hopefully he can reach the top of the Champions League in his best years and touch that big-eared trophy that countless players dream of!"
He Wei prepared two manuscripts early.
thought that Xiao Lizi would be eliminated, and planned to stir up sensationalism.
Duan Xuan was a little annoyed and couldn't interject.
Li Kang lost his strength and lay on his back on the turf.
The Thames wind, blowing the white jerseys.
Look at the starry night sky.
It's like being in a dream.
