Chapter 82: Vera? Hey
In the 38th minute, Cahill received the first yellow card of the game.
Benteke forced a breakthrough with the ball in front of the field, and was about to burst into the box, but Cahill decisively fouled him.
Villa were awarded a free-kick on the right side of the penalty area, about 20 yards from goal, which was exactly the distance to shoot straight at goal.
N'Zogbia is in charge of taking the free-kick.
Facing Cech, N'Zogbia volleyed straight into the far corner.
The ball changed direction slightly as it crossed the wall, but it didn't deflect off the back of the net.
"Good shot." The narrator shouted excitedly.
It is indeed a good ball, and Enzobia's free kick is quite a bit of Ronaldo's style.
Unfortunately, the experienced Cech had already expected everything.
I saw him kick his feet and pounce towards the left side of the goal, blocking Enzobia's direct free kick with one hand.
"Oh, that's a pity." The narrator sighed.
Looking at Enzobia's free-kick, Jose realized.
In today's world, although free kick techniques are emerging one after another, they basically start from the aspects of power, angle and flight path.
If you can combine these characteristics, you will definitely become a master of free kicks.
In the 40th minute, the Chelsea midfielder made a successful tackle and the ball was handed to Uncle Mata.
Meanwhile, Fernando Torres was already in ambush in the Villa penalty area, with Frank Lampard standing near HLD waiting for an opportunity, with Eden Hazard and Cesar Azpilicueta roaming down the left.
Standing near the edge of the Villa penalty area, Juan Mata was in possession and pondering what to do.
At this moment, he took aim at Oscar, who was quietly slipping into the forbidden area.
Without hesitation, Juan Mata flicked with his left foot and the ball swept through the crowd like a delicate scalpel, slicing through Villa's backline and finding Oscar exactly into the box.
Oscar took the ball without making any adjustments and volleyed directly into the far corner.
It all changed so suddenly.
Few could have imagined that Juan Mata could pass the ball to his team-mates with such precision in a crowd.
Although Jose has a god's perspective, Mata's passing route still surprised him for a moment.
It's so subtle.
Is this the quality of a top midfielder?
It's not that Jose hasn't touched a midfielder who passes the ball well, such as Manchester City's David Silva, but they're still a little too rough compared to Mata's passing.
Of course, to José's good news, Mata was a bit slow.
As long as you are vigilant at all times, you can still deal with it.
Oscar's shot is a little different from that of a traditional Brazilian player.
As far as the Brazilian players Jose knows (such as Piazon, who he met in the FA Youth Cup), the way they shoot is always creative and has a unique charm.
Oscar's shot, although very sudden, did not feel in him the unique creativity of the Brazilian player, who was very different from Piason.
"Whatever, time and space pause."
Jose didn't think much of it and dealt with Oscar's shot threat first.
At the end of the first half, the two sides played 0-0, and although Chelsea did not score, their advantage on the pitch can be clearly seen even by pseudo-fans.
Intermission.
In a live channel in Huaxia.
"The first half is over, Chelsea are clearly better than the opposition, but unfortunately they can't score, what do you think about that?" Teacher Zhan, a famous commentator, said to his partner next to him.
'From half-time play, Chelsea were clearly better than each other, and you could see that, but the question now is how Chelsea can turn that advantage into goals. Director Zhang said.
"Yes, that's a problem." Teacher Zhan nodded.
'Juan Mata is a good spot, he can pass the ball well, the question is who will finish the final blow after he passes. At the moment, Torres is not good, and it is difficult for him to get a chance to get his feet under the marking of Villa's defenders; Oscar is also almost funny, his shooting is not as agile as that of South American players, and it feels more like the style of European players; Hazard was sharp on the break and his shot needed more practice. Director Zhang analyzed.
"After Director Zhang's analysis, this is indeed the case, I don't know how Benitez adjusted in the second half. In addition, Director Zhang, do you think there is any hope for Villa? Teacher Zhan asked again.
"Vera? Hey. It can't be said that there is no chance at all, the key is to see if they can hold it, and then let Benteke or Weiman seize the opportunity to steal one, then there will be a show. Director Zhang smiled, although his words were beautiful, but his tone had already told everyone that he was not optimistic that Villa would be able to win the final victory at all.
It's no wonder that Director Zhang thinks so, just because the 8-0 not long ago was too shocking, and the lineups of the two sides have not changed much, coupled with such a short time interval, Villa wants to turn over, which is really a bit of a fool's dream.
Of course, Jose didn't play in the 8-0 game, but no one thought that a change in goalkeeper would close the gap.
"Thanks to Coach Zhang's analysis, we continued in the second half."
……
In the second half, it was easy to play again.
Chelsea were the first to make substitutions.
Moses came off the bench and was replaced by Oscar, with Benitez trying to use Moses' speed to attack Villa's defence.
When Moses came on, Chelsea's formation dropped back a bit, with the aim of pulling out gaps up front and giving the two wings room to sprint.
Flying on both wings is what Chelsea do best.
Sure enough, the effect was obvious.
Moses used his speed to easily shake off Bennett, who was defending the left flank.
As for Hazard, he has already put Lowton into doubt.
In the 47th minute, after Hazard shook off Lowton, he made a long pass with a big foot, and the ball passed to the other side of the penalty area, and finally to the feet of Moses.
Moses did not choose to shoot because Jose was already moving towards the right side of the goal, and if he did, there was a high probability that he would be blocked by Jose Jose.
Glancing at his team-mate's position, Moses spotted that Frank Lampard had stepped into the box.
Inverted triangle pass.
With the god-level cooperation, the ball reached the feet of the magic lamp.
Frank Lampard didn't pause and fired into the bottom left corner as he saw Jose on the right side of the net.
Everyone only knows that Drogba is Chelsea's first centre-forward, but they don't know that Frank Lampard is Chelsea's top scorer.
Frank Lampard can become Chelsea's top scorer, not only because he is the team's first penalty taker, but also because of his nose in front of goal, and his ability to score from behind, which is also rare in the Premier League.
"Good shot."
Frank Lampard's shot was not usually fast and was extremely secretive.
Under normal circumstances, no goalkeeper can get from one side of the net to the other in the time it takes for the ball to fly in front of goal, and no one can easily catch Frank Lampard's trajectory.
Seeing Frank Lampard's shot, Jose's father, who was watching the game from the sidelines, was so nervous that he stood up on the spot, staring intently at the changes on the field, and Xia Guoyong, who had been calm and relaxed, also held his breath at this time, and his heart was full of hope.
