Chapter 270: The Decisive Battle of Grand Paris (Ask for Subscription)

Three minutes later, Chelsea opened the shot.

Willian passes the ball and stuffs it to Diego Costa in front of him.

Diego Costa picked up the ball on the edge of the box, shook off the defence in successive feints and fired a powerful left-footed shot.

The ball flew straight to the bottom right of the goal.

The home fans cheered at the same time.

Unfortunately, Costa's shot was saved by Trapp.

Chelsea failed to open the scoring.

2 minutes later, the Grand Paris was also in color.

Lucas Jr. broke through and found Di Maria on the right.

On the right side of the small penalty area, Jose attacked to block Di Maria.

In the face of Jose's block, Di Maria fired a low shot into the far corner.

He wanted to get past Jose and hit the far corner.

Di Maria had a beautiful idea, but he underestimated Jose's interception.

I saw Jose quickly stretch out his legs and block Di Maria's low shot with his right foot.

Gary Cahill cleared the ball out of the box just in time.

In this way, this wave of attacks in Grand Paris was defused by José.

The game continues.

Paris took the initiative to attack, while Chelsea organised their defence at the back.

In the 5th minute, Grand Paris got a corner kick opportunity on the right side of the front.

Lucas Jr. takes a corner.

Straight into the box.

The first drop was pushed out by a Chelsea player.

On the edge of the penalty area, the Grand Paris player won the ball and sent it directly into the box.

At this time, the players of both sides in the penalty area have not dispersed, and they are in a state of complete chaos.

From the penalty spot, Motta headed the ball into the six-yard box.

On the right side of the six-yard penalty area, Ibrahimovic won the ball and volleyed directly from close range.

Things changed so suddenly that José had time to make an instinctive save.

Jose touched the ball with his right hand, but couldn't stop it from flying into the net.

The ball went in.

However, Jose immediately realised that Ibrahimovic had just been in an offside position.

Jose looked at the linesman.

Sure enough, the assistant referee had raised the flag to signal that Ibrahimovic was offside, so the goal was invalidated.

Chelsea fans were shocked into a cold sweat.

The game continues.

Grand Paris took control of the field.

They consciously keep the ball at their feet and then slow down the tempo.

In terms of individual performances, the players in Paris are also much better than those at Chelsea.

With 23 points ahead of second place and only nine games left in the league, winning the Ligue 1 title is a certainty, so they put all their energy into the Champions League and they can be said to be determined to win this game.

Grand Paris continued to press and Chelsea's counter-attacks were difficult to fight.

In the 15th minute, the front court of Grand Paris continued to pass the ball, and the ball reached the feet of Di Maria.

Di Maria crosses to the right of the penalty area.

The unmarked Ibrahimovic got his hands on the ball with ease.

On the right side of the Chelsea penalty area, Ibrahimovic dribbled the ball to near the baseline.

The back was leaking, and Cahill started to make a tackle, but it was too late.

Ibrahimovic crossed low and headed straight to the left side of the six-yard box.

At this point, Rabiot had outflanked to the left side of the penalty area.

It can be said that as long as the ball is in place, Rabiot only needs a light touch to score from less than a meter in front of goal.

It was definitely a big mistake at the back of the Chelsea defence.

Without any hesitation, José directly used the "Space-Time Pause" and then flew out to attack.

There was no danger, Jose stopped Ibrahimovic's low pass in front of goal.

"It's a pity, it's a pity." Teacher Zhan sighed.

"Jose is still strong, other teammates leaked, but Jose can attack and intercept in time." Director Zhang praised.

'yes, Jose has done it again, and if Chelsea can win this game, Jose will be the first one.' Teacher Zhan said.

'The main responsibility for this goal is Azpilicueta and Eden Hazard, Azpilicueta failed to get to Di Maria and Hazard didn't come back to fill in, you see him walking there slowly, it doesn't look like he wants to play at all. Director Zhang watched the video playback and said angrily.

Eden Hazard has yet to score in the Premier League or Champions League this season, with only two goals coming in the FA Cup.

The game continues.

Chelsea fought back, but there weren't many chances.

With possession and pressing in Paris, Chelsea have more often to rely on the individual quality of their players.

In such a situation, one can only hope for a mistake in Grand Paris.

Sure enough, the opportunity came.

In the 27th minute, Parisian player Motta made a mistake in his own half.

The ball was cut off by Pedro.

Willian took the ball and teamed up with Pedro to kick the wall and shake off Motta's counter-attack.

Outside the arc, Willian played a through ball to Costa.

Costa dribbled into the box and flicked past Thiago Silva before firing low into the bottom left corner from 13 yards.

The ball went in.

Chelsea open the scoring.

It was a goal that relied entirely on the opponent's mistakes and the individual ability of the players.

After the goal, Costa looked extremely excited.

It was his second goal in the Champions League since joining Chelsea.

Now, the aggregate score is 2-1 and Grand Paris need to score more than two goals to advance consistently.

Of course, if Paris can equalize, the two sides will go to extra time or even a penalty shootout.

So, Chelsea are far from the time to celebrate.

The game continues.

Pedro's tackle gave Chelsea a glimpse of what to do with Paris.

Next, instead of shrinking their defence, Chelsea pressed high-end.

Chelsea's pressing spells caused problems in Paris' defence, with the Blues attacking directly after a number of midfield breaks.

It is a pity that it failed to break through the defense of Grand Paris.

In the 33rd minute, Grand Paris counterattacked quickly.

Lucas Jr. wins the ball near the baseline on the right.

Intercepted by Cesar Azpilicueta, Lucas Jr. sent in a high cross.

The ball flies straight to the left side of the penalty area.

Ibrahimovic beat John Stones with a header.

However, José seemed to have been prepared and appeared just in the line of Ibrahimovic's goal.

Ibrahimovic's header was easily confiscated by Jose.

As Chelsea's form picks up, Jose is less of a threat.

Jose kicked the ball in goal and passed it directly to Willian.

Willian and Pedro combined with successive passes and the ball finally reached Cesc Fabregas.

At the arc of the penalty area, Xiaofa shot low to the left of the goal.

Unfortunately, the angle was a little off, and it finally flew out of the bottom line from the left column.

In the 34th minute, Costa stopped on the side and was about to burst into the penalty area with a single knife, and Rabiot directly pulled him down.

Rabiot received the first yellow card of the game.

Willian takes a free-kick straight at goal.

It was directly confiscated by the opposing goalkeeper.

The counter-attack of Grand Paris.

Failed to get past Chelsea's defence.

Passing the opening stages, Chelsea finally settled into the rhythm of the game.

In the 41st minute, Cesc Fabregas picked up the ball at the back, and Motta tripped him directly with a sweeping leg.

As a result, Motta received his second yellow card of the game.

A minute later, Costa made a steal up front.

The first pass was made to Hazard on the left.

On the left side of the Paris penalty area, Hazard kicks in the goal.

The ball flies straight into the bottom right corner of the goal.

Unfortunately, it was confiscated by Trapp.

Eden Hazard has failed to score in the Champions League this season.

Trapp quickly took the ball in goal, and Grand Paris organized the attack.

Failed to threaten José.

As the two sides battled in midfield, Jose's chances of touching the ball were decreasing.

Jose had fewer touches on the ball, which was good for Chelsea's defence.

Before you know it, time is running out for the first half.

In the 45th minute, Chelsea came close to sealing the win.

Azpilicueta passes.

Diego Costa fired low from 25 yards and was narrowly saved by Trapp.

Pedro had a chance to make a second stoppage.

It's a pity that Marquinhos was the first to clear the siege.

In the half-time stoppage, Cesc Fabregas raised his foot too high when fighting for the ball, and was shown a yellow card by the referee.

At the end of the first half, Chelsea took a 1-0 lead and took the initiative to advance.

Half-time, in the Chelsea dressing room.

Mourinho said with a smile on his face: "Well done, continue in the second half, we are the ones who qualify. ”

"Boss, how do you arrange the tactics in the second half?" Mikel asked.

"Press high and press the ball in the opposition half as much as possible." Mourinho said without hesitation.

If an outsider is here and hears Mourinho arrange it like this, he will definitely think that he is hallucinating.

In Mourinho's coaching philosophy, isn't it good to defend when the score is ahead?

Jose Mourinho has changed, he is no longer the conservative madman coach he used to be.

In the second half, the two sides exchanged venues.

Chelsea continued to put pressure on Paris, as Mourinho had requested.

Grand Paris, on the other hand, still chose to slow down the tempo and then keep the ball at their feet.

From the arrangement of tactics, it can be seen that there is indeed a big gap between Brandt and the top coaches.

In the 48th minute, Chelsea broke the ball up front and launched a quick counter-attack at the first time.

Unfortunately, Diego Costa and Cesar Azpilicueta had their shots blocked in quick succession from inside the box.

Thiago Silva's defence alongside David Luiz is still very solid.

In the 52nd minute, Chelsea counter-attacked on the right.

Costa takes the ball and passes it back to Ivan.

Ivan passed it to William again as soon as possible.

Outside the box, on the right side of the arc island, Willian dribbled the ball and was brought to the ground by Matuidi.

However, the referee did not say anything, which drew a burst of boos from the fans.

Lucas Jr. wins the ball and launches a quick counter-attack on the wing.

At this time, Chelsea had just three defenders at the back.

Seeing that Lucas Jr. was about to burst into the penalty area with the ball, Mikel could only use tactical fouls on Lucas Jr.

"Beep, beep~" The referee blew the whistle for a foul.

Mikel was booked.

Such a scene made Mourinho's temper tantrum attack immediately.

Because the referee did not blow for Matuidi, he gave Lucas Jr. a chance to counterattack quickly.

Mikel did use a tactical foul, but the main blame should lie with the referee not making the correct decision to Matuidi.

In such an important game, a small mistake by the referee can lead to a major wrong result.

Mourinho's complaint failed to bring any results.

During these 90 minutes, the referee is a god-like being.

Mortals are not qualified to challenge the authority of the judges.

Grand Paris gets a free-kick on the right side of the pitch.

Angel Di Maria takes a free-kick opportunity.

Instead of opting to hit the goal, he hobbled the ball to the right side of the penalty area.

It's still the possession of the big Paris.

When Paris passed the ball into the box again, Ibrahimovic was offside again.

Ibrahimovic's mental strength can be unaffected by Jose, but he wants to score so much that he could easily fall into Chelsea's offside trap on multiple occasions.

Jose kicked off quickly and Chelsea launched another quick counter-attack.

Eden Hazard dribbled the ball on the left side of the opposition penalty area and was poked out of the line.

Chelsea were awarded the second corner of the game.

Willian takes a corner.

Unfortunately, it failed to pose a threat.

Grand Paris organized an attack on the right flank.

Failed to press through Chelsea's midfield.

In the 56th minute, Chelsea organised an attack.

Cahill through pass.

Eden Hazard slipped through and the ball went straight through the Parisian defence.

Costa won the ball and formed a one-on-one momentum.

Facing the big Paris goalkeeper, pick up the top left.

The ball went in.

Chelsea killed the game?

Not really.

The assistant referee raised the flag to indicate that Costa had just been offside, so the goal was invalidated.

In one game, there have been two offside goals.

It can be seen how hot the desire of the players on both sides is to win.

In the 57th minute, Paris made successive passes to open up Chelsea's right side of defence.

Ibrahimovic takes the ball and crosses it to the left.

An unmarked Maxwell takes possession of the ball.

On the left side of the Chelsea penalty area, Maxwell crosses with his feet.

Ibrahimovic, Di Maria, Rabiot and others have been outflanked and can form a very dangerous shot as long as any one touches the ball.

It's just that they all seem to underestimate Jose, and more precisely, José's bouncing power.

I saw Jose's figure move a few steps to the right side of the small penalty area, and then jumped high and directly picked the ball off the air.

José dismantled this attack of Grand Paris in advance.

Jose quickly took a goal kick and passed it directly to Willian on the left.

Willian won the ball and passed to Eden Hazard in front of him as soon as possible.

Hazard took the ball and was just about to accelerate to break through when he was brought down by Rabiot.

Chelsea were awarded a free-kick at the back.

Take a free-kick with a quick kick and hit the opposition defender directly behind him.

Costa sprinted desperately to get the ball and Thiago Silva was in hot pursuit.

Eventually, on the left side of the box, Thiago Silva poked the ball out of the line.

Chelsea were awarded another corner.

A short corner kick is taken and the ball ends at Pedro's feet.

Unfortunately, Pedro's long-range shot from outside the box was completely off target.

Pedro has scored five goals for Chelsea so far, which is hard to say how good it is compared to his time at Barca.

In the 60th minute, Costa went down to the ground and signaled that he could no longer hold on to the game.

It turned out that when I was fighting with my brother-in-law just now, I strained my right thigh muscle.

Jose Mourinho was forced to make a substitution.

Traore replaces Costa.

The crowd gave Costa a round of applause.

Although fans of other teams have repeatedly complained about Costa's dirty football, his role on the field is irreplaceable.

With Costa off the pitch, Chelsea's threat immediately dropped significantly.

The offensive of Grand Paris.

On the right side of the Chelsea penalty area, Matuidi takes the ball and crosses directly into the high.

In the penalty area, Ibrahimovic and Di Maria have been outflanked in place.

In the face of the opponent's cross, Jose attacked decisively, he knew very well in his heart that when Ibrahimovic and others hit the goal and then save, the threat would be great.

Jose blocked the cross with both fists.

The ball bounced back to the right side of the penalty area, still in possession of Grand Paris.

Facing the Chelsea defence, Paris had no choice but to pass back to the back for a kick.

In the 62nd minute, Rabiot was forced by three Chelsea players to complete the pass.

The ball reached the unmarked Ibrahimovic.

On the left side of the penalty area, Ibrahimovic burst forward with the ball.

Jose hurriedly attacked and blocked.

In the face of Jose's block, Ibrahimovic made a mistake in possession and took the ball out of the bottom line.

The ball touched Jose's toe the moment it was out of the line.

Grand Paris won a corner on the left.

Angel Di Maria takes a corner.

Straight into the penalty area.

Unfortunately, the power was not well controlled, and the ball flew directly from the top of the penalty area to the right.

At the same time, the referee blew the whistle for a foul.

The Grand Paris player was fouled in the box.

Jose whipped in a free-kick that went straight to Willian on the left.

Unfortunately, they failed to break through the opponent's defense.

In the 65th minute, Hazard burst into the box with the ball on the left.

Facing two Parisian players, Hazard passed back to Willian behind him.

Willian gets the ball and cuts inside.

In front of the left side of the box, Willian takes a long-range shot.

As a result, he was blocked by Trapp flying.

From 12 yards on the left side of the box, Hazard picked up the second.

Direct volley.

Speechless, Hazard's shot hit Trapp directly.

The ball lands at the penalty spot.

Willian followed up with another follow-up shot, but unfortunately it was missed.

Chelsea missed the best chance of the game.

It can be said that the God of this moment is on the side of Greater Paris.

Paris counter-attacked and won a corner on the left.

Di Maria's low ball from a corner was blocked by a Chelsea player from the near post.

Outside the penalty area, it was still Paris's possession.

On the left, Matuidi plays a lateral pass to the middle.

Rabiot misses and the ball reaches Motta.

Motta doesn't stop the ball and picks up the left side of the pass.

Chelsea on the left side of the penalty area let the unmarked Di Maria get the ball.

Di Maria dribbled directly into the left side of the penalty area.

At this point, the door was wide open at the back of the Chelsea defence.

Ibrahimovic and Moura have flanked and killed in the box.

Di Maria crosses from the left and the ball flies towards the middle of the box.

Such a scene was the same as Ibrahimovic's pass on the right in the first half.

The difference is that Di Maria's pass is not too close to the goal.

This time, of course, Jose couldn't have made a sortie to intercept.

Glancing at the positions of everyone in the box, Jose knew that the biggest threat came from Ibrahimovic.

It can be said that as long as Di Maria's pass is on target, Ibrahimovic can head the ball into the empty net.

José's figure quickly struck in the direction of Ibrahimovic, while preparing to use "Time and Space Pause" at any time.

Di Maria's pass was met by Ibrahimovic.

On the edge of the small penalty area, Ibrahimovic did not pause and headed straight at the goal.

If the goal is scored, then the two sides could go to extra time as they did last year.

At that time, Grand Paris will have a chance to knock out Chelsea for the second year in a row and reach the quarter-finals.

Normally, the story should develop this way.

But today it was Jose who was guarding the door.

At the moment when Ibrahimovic pushed the ball, Jose used the second "timeout" of the game.

A one-second pause was enough for Jose to complete the block.

In this way, Ibrahimovic's header was directly confiscated by Jose.

"Jose, Jose has done it again." Teacher Zhan screamed.

'Jose reacted too quickly and when Di Maria passed the ball, he started moving closer in the direction of Ibrahimovic. Director Zhang said.

"Yes, a goalkeeper like Jose has too good awareness in front of the goal and quick reactions." Mr. Zhan agreed, and then continued to ask: "Coach Zhang, do you think Jose is likely to lead Chelsea to win the second Champions League title in team history this year?" ”

"It's a bit hard. There is absolutely no problem with Jose's ability, the key problem is the rest of Chelsea, these Chelsea players this season, except for Willian, no one else is in good shape. Director Zhang said without hesitation.

"Thanks to Chelsea's introduction of John Stones in the winter window, otherwise Ivan would have been asked to play as a central defender in the absence of John Terry and Kurt Zouma through injury." Teacher Zhan said.

"Ivan's performance this season is not good, mainly because he is older, his physical fitness can't keep up, he can't come back if he can attack, so it's easy to be beaten behind him by opponents, and the problem of letting him play as a central defender shouldn't be big, the real question is that Ivan plays central defender, who will play fullback? Neither Baba Rahman nor Kennedy had enough experience. "Coach Zhang has analysed the situation of Chelsea with a sharp analysis.

The game continues.

Ibrahimovic missed the goal and dealt a big demoralizing blow to Grand Paris.

In the 74th minute, Ibrahimovic won the ball on the left side.

Shaking off the Chelsea defenders, the low ball was played down the middle.

In the box, from 12 yards, Di Maria shoots with a backheel.

There is no strength at all, let alone Jose, even if it is just an ordinary goalkeeper, he can easily take it.

Once again, Paris missed the opportunity.

Jose kicked off quickly and gave it to Azpilicueta.

Unfortunately, Chelsea's attack failed to break down the Parisian defence.

In the 77th minute, Eden Hazard won the ball on the left side of the goal and failed to break through in the face of David Luiz's defence, eventually earning a corner for Chelsea.

Without waiting for a corner, Hazard signalled that he was no longer in action.

Chelsea made a second passive substitution.

Oscar came off the bench.

Hazard is very talented, but he has never been a player who is willing to work hard, and in daily training, Hazard has always been able to get by.

So, it is impossible to see Hazard rise in the face of adversity.

In Hazard's situation, everyone around him feels sorry for him, but this is his personal problem, and no one else can say much.

Chelsea replaced Eden Hazard and Paris made the same substitutions.

Pastore replaces Lucas Jr.

Willian takes a corner.

The first drop was pushed out by the big Paris players and there was no threat.

The fitness of the players on both sides dropped dramatically, and the pace of the game began to slow down.

In the 79th minute, Pedro made a mistake in the front pass and passed directly to the opposing player.

Grand Paris got a quick counter-attack.

Maxwell picked up the ball on the left, shook off Pedro's counter-attack and passed to Di Maria.

Di Maria takes the ball and passes to the side to find Maxwell.

Maxwell burst into the left side of the box with the ball and crossed low.

The ball went straight into the six-yard box.

Five yards out, Ibrahimovic followed up with a stab.

As a result, the ball hit the leg of Cahill, who was returning to the defence, and there was a deflection on the spot, and the ball rolled towards the right side of the goal.

Is there going to be an own goal?

Just as the Parisian fans were about to celebrate the equaliser, Jose pounced on the side and took the deflected ball steadily.

This is also due to the fact that the ball is not moving fast, otherwise Jose is really difficult to deal with.

With the current form of Chelsea players, extra-time is not a good thing.
