Chapter 246: Do you dare to fight back?

After scoring in the first half, Leon did not catch Tottenham, who were almost half-crippled by the injury wave, to pick up the wool.

In the second half of the game, he almost stayed in his own half of the court to arrange and distribute the offensive ball.

It's Lukaku, who has no idea of being merciful in his head, and scored two goals in the second half, directly pulling the difference to five goals!

Chelsea also ended up handing Tottenham a heavy 5-0 defeat at home.

And after this game, it was not the Chelsea fans who were happiest, but the Arsenal fans.

Most of the people who ridiculed Tottenham on the Internet were Gunners fans, and their behavior quickly attracted all the anger and attention of Tottenham fans.

The two fans began to fight each other, but Chelsea, who started the game, stayed out of the way, moving around the bench with other neutral fans to watch the excitement.

It wasn't until the next day, when the 29th round of the Premier League resumed, with Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal all on the scene, that most of the fans' attention was turned to the Premier League.

Following the crotch-pulling defeat in the previous round, Arsenal played Swansea City at home for 90 minutes.

In the end, thanks to the team's top scorer Cavani's header in the 87th minute of the second half, Arsenal finally beat the Welsh powerhouse 3-2.

In contrast, Liverpool and Manchester City won much easier.

Sturridge, Steven Gerrard and Luis Suarez scored in quick succession to beat Sunderland 3-0 at home.

Manchester City quickly shook off the pain of losing the EFL Cup final, sweeping Aston Villa 4-0 at home.

And after this beautiful victory, Guardiola has once again received praise from many media.

No way, Manchester City's big wins are all good-looking, and the goals scored are more beautiful than the other.

In terms of the attraction to fans, in the entire Premier League, it is estimated that only Chelsea, which has let go of the attack, and Arsenal, which has a complete main force, can barely touch Manchester City in this part of the scene.

Chelsea's record is luxurious, and their attacking prowess is also strong.

But in the vast majority of winning games, Chelsea will be more inclined to pick up the three points consistently.

Even if there is a rare offensive football in some games, when the difference is stretched to two or three goals, Mourinho will basically signal his players to stop.

Scenes like the 5-0 win over Tottenham in this round of the league are really not very common in Chelsea games.

The look and feel that Chelsea have given to their neutral fans in the league has made them less interested in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final between Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain.

In the first leg, Chelsea beat the suspense of the knockout round directly 4-0 at the home of Grand Paris.

Even if Leon said to the camera at that time, they would pay attention to Paris in the second leg and attack with all their might.

But the vast majority of fans are not convinced that Chelsea will play attacking football against Paris Saint-Germain at home.

With Mourinho's urine, he can play most of the main players in the second leg.

Anyway, the opinions of the fans and the media have never interfered with him.

When he was at Real Madrid before, there was no suspense in the Champions League knockout round, and he was more energetic than anyone else when it was time to rotate.

There's no reason to go back to Chelsea, who are more supportive of him and the fans love him more, and he still changes his personality to please the fans to continue playing attacking football, right?

No way, something like this could never happen to Mourinho!

The vast majority of fans and the football media have already predetermined the match between Chelsea and Paris.

The French media also looked very low-key before the game.

After all, the first leg was so badly lost, there is nothing to say, and the second leg is at most less to lose.

Normal journalists and French fans had no expectations for the Paris comeback.

Maybe that's what the players in the Paris team think the same way.

On the afternoon of March 11, when all the members of Paris Saint-Germain arrived in London by plane and stepped on the field at Stamford Bridge in advance?

The photos taken by the local media are all photos of them being relatively relaxed and laughing.

Except for 272, who was still silent with his dead fish face, Ravitch and Khedira were even in the mood to take the initiative to greet the reporters in London.

As soon as these pre-match photos were exposed, the fans could only praise the mentality of the Paris players in addition to ridiculing the atmosphere in the Paris team.

However, similar news can only be regarded as an appetizer before the start of the second leg of the Champions League 1/8 knockout round.

On the evening of March 11, Western European time, and in the early morning of March 12, East Asian time.

AC Milan away to Atletico Madrid and Arsenal away to Bayern Munich started at almost the same time.

And the final result did not surprise the majority of fans before the game.

AC Milan and Arsenal both suffered defeats and failed to turn the tables back.

The only difference was that Milan lost 4-1 to Atletico Madrid, Europe's new giant.

And Arsenal finally swallowed the bitter result at Bayern's home 0-1, and fell in front of the Champions League quarterfinals again with hatred.

Compared with Milan's almost surrendering rout, Arsenal can be said to have died standing in this Champions League battle.

There was no shame in losing to last season's Champions League runners-up, with Sky Sports also taking the lead in praising Arsenal's tenacity.

If it weren't for UEFA's insistence on provoking trouble to draw lots, in fact, Arsenal in recent seasons has the strength to break into the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

In the past four seasons, Arsenal has drawn three teams from Real Sajen, and the first round of the knockout round of the 11-12 season is also AC Milan, where Yu Wei is still there.

So it's really not that they have a problem with their strength to fall in the last 16 of the Champions League for four consecutive seasons.

This sign, no matter which European powerhouse comes, it has to kneel!

Of the four teams in the Premier League, Arsenal were the first to exit this season's Champions League.

On 12 March, Manchester City and Chelsea continued to represent in the Champions League in the Premier League.

Compared with the waves on Chelsea's side, Manchester City, which lost to Barcelona by one goal in the first leg, must fight hard in Lockamp in the second leg!

Towards the start of the evening, the number of fans following the rematch between Barcelona and Manchester City was much larger than the number of fans following the match between Chelsea and Paris.

Because the game was played in the middle of the week, the timing of the start of the game was really uncomfortable for the fans of Huaguo.

In addition, there is no suspense in the game, so many Chinese fans today do not have the idea of setting an alarm clock to get up to watch the game.

At most, they get up the next day and go to work to watch the game highlights and news.

However, even so, the small number of Chinese fans who insist on getting up late to watch the game are still a huge group of spectators for UEFA.

On the other hand, it can't compare to the attention of fans around the world to the big battle between Manchester City and Barcelona, but it is also a small Super Champions League knockout round.

It was Mourinho's tactical arrangement of this game that made these small number of Chinese fans feel an unexpected "surprise".

On the sidelines of Stamford Bridge, looking at Chelsea who had opened a four, three, and three active offensive posture, Blanco, the head coach of Paris, looked extremely ugly!

"They really look down on people!"

The assistant coach of Grand Paris, who was standing behind Blanco, muttered indignantly.

Blanco, who heard his complaint, didn't say much, just hugged his arms and stared at the Paris Saint-Germain players on the field with a serious face.

The result of the four-goal defeat in the first leg left Paris Saint-Germain without much tactical choice in the second leg.

They can only attack as a way to save the dignity of the team.

Normally, Chelsea, who have achieved such a big advantage, will more or less lose face in Paris in the second leg.

It's just a matter of playing and defending and training young players.

There is no grudge between the two teams in the end.

Last summer, Paris Saint-Germain also fully respected Ibrahimovic's choice and did not open his mouth to the Chelsea Lions, allowing Ibrahimovic to switch to Chelsea smoothly.

So Blanco feels very unhappy at the moment, he and his assistant coach think about the same, but I feel that Chelsea, or Mourinho, look down on them completely!

But soon after the game started, seeing Li Ang on the field excitedly pounced on 272 holding the ball like a tiger going down the mountain, Blanco's mind suddenly brightened!

"Could it be that after the first round of kicking, Leon is still angry?"

The idea came to Blanco's mind, and at the moment more fans in Paris were nervous because of the aggressive defensive pressure of the whole Chelsea team.

Chelsea actually had a rotation today, such as Ibrahimovic, Nemanja Matic and John Terry.

In their place were Fernando Torres, Van Ginkel and Gary Cahill.

At the back and in attacking action in the middle line, Chelsea's quality has declined.

However, Leon and Frank Lampard combined to quickly suppress PSG in midfield.

And Hazard and De Bruyne's proactive forward pressure temptation made Paris passive in the defense of the wings.

Chelsea have no problem using such a formation to focus on high pressing and aggressive attacking.

First of all, in terms of fitness, there are now only two fronts to play, and with the proper rotation before, Chelsea have an advantage over Paris.

Secondly, at the midfield end, as long as Leon, the Blues' eye, does not rest, it will always be difficult to give full play to the technical advantages of the big Paris midfield.

272 had a good time dancing before the start of this round of elimination.

Not to mention blocking Li Ang in public opinion, he dared to put on a posture that was not afraid of Li Ang at all.

But after being rubbed hard by Leon almost with his head in the last game, he was completely wilted.

Fortunately, Verratti's performance is still relatively good, and there are no problems.

He and Motta still ensure the rhythm of PSG's entire team.

Leon pressed 272 one-on-one, making the Turks lose face at the beginning.

272 repeatedly held the ball but did not dare to boldly step forward, as long as Li Ang pressed over, he could only pass back frequently.

Seeing this, Verratti decisively distributed more of the ball to the wingers on both wings, presumably because of Blanco's tactics before the start of the game.

Ravic was very active on the left flank today, and in the first ten minutes he took the ball twice to one-on-one Azpilicueta, and the results were good.

As the team's second-leading scorer after Gonzalo Higuain in goals this season, Ravic is also a threat to the Chelsea team.

So when he tries to open up the situation from the flanks, Chelsea's entire backline will slowly lean towards him.

There is nothing wrong with such defensive options, and Gary Cahill has been signaling Kalas to keep an eye on Higuain's movements.

As long as Ravic and Higuain don't link up well, the Parisian attack won't be much of a threat to the Chelsea backline.

But in the 14th minute of the first half.

Ravic received the ball again and forced an inside cut, but he didn't cut inside like he had done the previous times, and Azpilicueta continued to stick to the ball and make a bottom-up attempt.

This time, he took two steps inside and picked up the ball and picked it up to Higuain, who pulled out of the box to meet him!

And just after Callas trotted out of the penalty area with Higuain, Higuain jumped up against the incoming ball, and then gently shook his head back!

It was a pretty standard centre-forward drop-back header ferry.

Since Higuain's transfer to Paris Saint-Germain, he has rarely taken the initiative to act as a tactical green leaf and play the ball for his teammates.

So at the moment, the change in his style of play can be regarded as a surprise to the Chelsea backline!

At least Kalas didn't get back in time enough, and Lucas Jr., who cut forward on the right side of the Chelsea penalty area, also seized on such a fleeting defensive gap.

He didn't stop the ball, he just took Higuain's header and volleyed it!

Faced with such a close-range far-angle push, Cech was also a beat slower to react.

He didn't touch the football, and Lucas Jr.'s spiritual push shot hit a very tricky angle, and finally the football wiped his mouth and the far corner post of the goal went headlong into the net!

More than 3,000 Parisian fans cheered in surprise!

Little Lucas was also very excited, constantly patting the team emblem on his chest, and running around the bottom line of the court to celebrate!

Maybe it is true that many fans of Grand Paris and even the players did not have confidence in this game before the game.

But little Lucas is not part of that group!

He still wants to fight, he still wants to fight, even if the hope is very slim, he wants to resist on the court until the last second!

For PSG fans, being able to score a goal so quickly at Chelsea's home stadium is something they can be excited and excited about.

But Chelsea's supporters are feeling bad, even if they are still confident that the team will win in the end.

But at this time, they don't want to see their opponent's fans cheering and celebrating in their own stadiums.

Mourinho was on the sidelines, but he was not in a hurry to make any tactical adjustments.

But he looked at the Chelsea players and raised his right index finger and tapped his temple.

This action speaks for itself.

Leon didn't look at the cheering PSG players.

He first came back and pulled Van Ginkel who didn't seem to be in much of a groove to explain, and then he looked at Gary Cahill again.

'My command was wrong, it was my mistake, but they don't want to use the same tricks to keep threatening our goal, I promise!'

Gary Cahill decisively admitted his previous command mistakes, and Leon nodded lightly after hearing the defensive assurances he gave.

At this time, the most important thing between teammates is trust.

Defensively today, at least in the first half, Leon couldn't give much help to his team-mates.

However, he believes Van Kinkel will be able to wake up and get into the game as soon as possible, assisting Gary Cahill and Kalas to disrupt the attacking rhythm of the next big Parisian attack on the edge of their own penalty area.

As for himself, he naturally has to make further efforts on the offensive end, and also drives his teammates to make further efforts.

"I'm very upset that they dare to fight back!"

While waiting for the big Paris players to finish their celebrations and the game to restart.

Leon crossed his hands on his hips and said this to Hazard and De Bruyne.

The Belgian wings looked at each other, and then nodded to Leon very tacitly.

They understood what Leon meant.

And after the game finally resumed, the PSG players quickly experienced the "anger" of the whole Chelsea team.

Now, Torres may not be able to provide much tactical support to Chelsea's frontcourt players in the attacking end, as Ibrahimovic did.

But when he was needed to defend, he was more dedicated and committed than Ibrahimovic!

So the ball-possession playmakers at the back of Paris Saint-Germain had a hard time in an instant.

Behind him was flanked by two wingers from Fernando Torres and Chelsea, and in front of him was Leon who spared no effort to fight against the press.

Whether it's Motta or Verratti, the difficulty of their stable organization of the ball is suddenly several times more difficult than in the opening stage!

Even if 272 and Ravitch took the initiative to retreat to respond, the offensive rhythm of Grand Paris could not continue at all.

The feeling of being pressed by the opposition is exactly the same as when they faced Chelsea in the first leg!

In fact, if they honestly accepted their fate in this game, there would not have been such an encounter.

But now that they have fought back, they must be mentally prepared to withstand Chelsea's full high pressure.

When it comes to Chelsea's attacking routines, every player in Paris knows it.

Do you still want to press high and seize the opportunity to switch between attack and defense?

If you do tactical targeting, at this moment, Paris is fully defensive, and has an absolute advantage in the number of possessions in their own half, which can also fight with Chelsea's high-pressing tactics.

But Blanco didn't have that tactical determination, and PSG's players didn't want to put any effort into defending at all.

They just want to attack and keep taking chances to find the back of the net for Chelsea.

However, the ideal is always full, but in the real world, the big Paris, who don't want to invest too much in their own half, are quickly disrupted by Chelsea's high pressing.

In the 25th minute of the first half, Paris was completely out of control after Chelsea had been robbed for 10 minutes.

However, Chelsea's side did not take advantage of the threat in time after snatching the ball and turning defence into attack.

De Bruyne and Torres didn't threaten Sirigu with two shots on goal.

So after another break, Leon decided to plug in himself!

He was quick with the ball and almost instantly swept past Verratti and Motta's pinch defences.

However, Verratti's reaction was still very quick and the comeback was timely.

Li Ang didn't panic when he saw this, he calmly continued to hold the ball forward, he didn't believe that Alex could continue to calm down and Silva stick to the penalty area!

Sure enough, after seeing that Leon was about to enter the effective range, Alex took the initiative to attack and teamed up with Verratti to defend Leon.

After Leon saw Alex attacking, he was relieved to distribute the ball to Hazard, who was advancing with him on the left side.

Facing the right wing-back Yalai, who is not superior in the speed of Paris, the moment Hazard received a pass from Leon, he forcibly started to speed up and overtook on the outside line of the side to eat raw!

Yalai, who is over 30 years old, has a good confrontation ability.

But when he couldn't get close to Hazard at all, he just used his strength to feed, and he couldn't keep up with Hazard's advance speed at all!

In a blink of a blink of an airstorm, Hazard cut inward at the moment when he was close to the bottom line of Grand Paris, and directly dribbled the ball into the Grand Paris penalty area!

Seeing this, Torres went all out to fight with Thiago Silva at the back of the Paris Saint-Germain penalty area!

Alex, who hurriedly returned to the defense, had to leave Leon behind and reflexively to restrain Hazard at this time.

And seeing his slightly clumsy posture, Hazard calmly sent an inverted triangle pick-up pass!

Leon made a fierce last effort, completely shook off Verratti, kicked off the ground and jumped on the ground and shook his head to smash Hazard's pass towards the goal of Grand Paris!

The ball was almost instantaneously ahead of Sirigu's save and plunged headlong into the net behind him!

Nearly 40,000 Chelsea fans at Stamford Bridge also roared and cheered at this moment!

The previous little nervousness and apprehension were also swept away, replaced by a heavy steadfastness and joy in the heart!

Mourinho breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and before Holland hugged him, he turned his head and prompted Holland to go to the sidelines instead of him to remind the Chelsea players:

"Let these boys not get too excited, since Paris Saint-Germain still wants to fight back today, then we will beat them into the dirt!"

Holland heard Mourinho's domineering speech and nodded repeatedly.

On the court at this moment, after a little celebration with his teammates, Li Ang and his teammates also signaled them to follow him and trot back to their own half.

"Let them know the cost of fighting back!

Keep up the oppression!

Go on the offensive! ”
