Chapter 317 Champions League semi-final against Bayern, Wembley reappears in the London derby
"The ball is in! Leon's tricky spot-kick helps Chelsea go to the next level! The aggregate score has come to 2:0!
Juventus is on the edge of the cliff, and no matter what tactical backhand Allegri has, he must now reveal his cards in advance! ”
Zhan Jun suppressed his excitement a little, so that his commentary sounded, at least neutral on the surface.
However, General Fan, who went to the PPTV live broadcast room as a special guest today, is not so particular.
Li Ang scored two goals in two knockout games, and his ability in this key battle is simply outrageous!
Lao Fan and Director Zhang have always been quick to talk, and Li Ang played so well, they did not hesitate to give praise.
"The 10th goal in the Champions League! With 10 goals and 8 assists, Leon is still far ahead of all his opponents in the Champions League in terms of goals scored! ”
"This year, Leon has a chance to win the top scorer in the Premier League and the Champions League! It seems that the assist king is definitely not running at the moment.
In terms of goals, Leon is now only quietly behind Ronaldo, one goal short, and has a chance to catch up! ”
Director Zhang helped Li Ang set up a flag, and under the influence of Li Ang's current explosion of personal data, Chinese fans did not think that Director Zhang was poisoning milk.
Cristiano Ronaldo's goal efficiency in the Champions League this year has dropped much compared to previous seasons.
Real Madrid's midfielder Xavi Alonso is a year older, and after Matuidi suffered a major injury in the middle of the season, Real Madrid's midfield defence can almost only count on Casemiro alone.
Modric's form has been up and down this season, and the midfield has not been stable, so Ronaldo has naturally had far fewer opportunities to threaten than before.
In La Liga, it is very easy for Cristiano Ronaldo to score goals against many teams of mediocre strength.
But in the Champions League, especially when the opponent almost always chooses to target him, the midfield is not up, and Ronaldo is also difficult to beat with two fists.
And Messi and Neymar, who previously scored eight goals in the Champions League, have been eliminated by Leon and his team.
So now the opponent competing with Leon for the Champions League Golden Boot is actually only one Ronaldo, who is more difficult to score goals the further he plays.
Don't look at this round of knockout rounds, Real Madrid still won by a big score against Manchester City.
However, Ronaldo was limited enough by Manchester City in the two legs, scoring only one goal.
Manchester City would rather let other Real Madrid strikers play comfortably than give Ronaldo an easy chance to grab points.
Manchester City and Real Madrid stabbed each other not without a chance of qualifying, and their restrictions on Ronaldo have been in place.
However, Bale and Marcelo exploded in the second leg, and the two combined to contribute three goals to knock Manchester City out.
It can only be said that in terms of luck, Guardiola has been quite back in the past two seasons...
Cristiano Ronaldo's goal felt interrupted by Manchester City, and Leon certainly has the opportunity and the right to fight for the Champions League Golden Boot this season.
And the Chelsea and Juventus game is not over yet.
If Leon can score again in this game, then he will be tied with Cristiano Ronaldo for the top scorer in the Champions League!
The personal honor that can be pursued at hand, and Leon will not turn a blind eye.
If Juventus gives Chelsea a chance to counterattack again, then he still has a great chance of scoring goals, and he can give it a go!
After celebrating the penalty goal, Leon's eyes were still very confident and hot.
However, he will not change the game tactics developed by his coaching staff without authorization.
The game that has already been won should be won safely, and there is no need to take extra risks.
It's okay to score goals and win individual honours, but only if the overall interests of the team are not compromised.
Li Ang was clear about his priorities, and after the game restarted, he also took the initiative to call his teammates to give priority to consolidating the defense.
Juventus will eventually press hard, and with two goals down, they have no choice, and it will be up to Chelsea and him to seize the opportunity to switch between attack and defence.
Mu Shuai sat back in the coach's seat, and seeing that Li Ang was still calmly directing his teammates to shrink the formation, he nodded reassuringly and did not go to the sidelines to give any tactical instructions.
When it came to the game, it was okay to say that he was lucky, or to say that he was a successful tactical set-up, and it was an indisputable fact that Chelsea were in control of the game.
If this can still make Juventus turn the tables strongly, it can really only be said that fate is like this.
There are perhaps many neutral fans who believe that Chelsea should seize the opportunity to score a few more goals against Juventus to further extend their lead, which is the safest tactical way to play.
But in Mourinho's heart at this moment, stabilizing the defense, especially the midfield defense, is what he cares about the most.
And the more calm and steady he is, the more Chelsea put more emphasis on defense at the moment, and the more impatient the whole Juventus team becomes.
Andrea Pirlo and Gianluigi Buffon are still calm, but Juventus now has more young players in the team, and the whole team is impetuous, and they can't hold it back.
At critical moments, Allegri's hair dryer skills are useful.
Uncle Yu stood on the sidelines and scolded, and directly scolded Vidal and Pogba above him so that his mind was temporarily sobered.
Andrea Pirlo also took advantage of the situation to stabilize the pace of the game and no longer rushed to attack Chelsea's central and defensive defences.
But if we have to wait until halftime to adjust, we won't have enough time.
Allegri had an urgent exchange with the assistant coach and finally gave clear tactical instructions in the 30th minute of the first half.
They need to further improve the efficiency of their promotion on the wings, and it is not advisable to force the middle, at least against Chelsea's defensive system, which will not work!
Patrice Evra and Lichtsteiner both started to get involved frequently.
Koeman, who is not yet 19 years old, also took off his substitute vest and walked to the sidelines at the signal of the assistant coach to start warming up with his teammates.
It was a wise decision, as the teams that wanted to play Chelsea in the middle this season ended up losing badly.
Juventus have had success this season thanks to their excellent diamond-shaped four-midfield tactical design.
But when it's time to be flexible, Allegri thinks he has to change his formation, or he'll have to be led by the nose by Chelsea all the time.
After strengthening the attacking priorities on both flanks, Juve's offensive has really improved a lot.
At least Pogba and Vidal won't run headfirst into Chelsea's defensive wall again.
Juve's attacking hierarchy is also much better, with Andrea Pirlo in the middle, and they are also trying to pull Chelsea's defence laterally.
However, Chelsea's biggest hole card in the defensive end is not on the bench.
Li Ang saw that Juventus's offense was gradually gaining momentum, and he also suppressed his desire to continue scoring goals, and retreated decisively!
As soon as he came back, Chelsea directly came up with the strongest defensive form, and as soon as the three-back system was put out, it was simply the life of all Juventus fans!
Anyway, so far this season, no team has been able to break Chelsea's three-back defensive system and turn the tables on Chelsea's home turf.
The rhythm of the game was once again forcibly cut off, Uncle Yu wanted to speed up, and Mourinho and Leon just wanted to "cool down" the game.
So at half-time, the score was still fixed at Chelsea 1-0 Juventus.
And in the second half, even more trouble came to Juventus.
That's fitness.
Juve's midfielders are actually fine, but the main problem is in the midfield.
Let's not talk about Master Pi first, although he is old, the way he plays football now is more energy-saving, so he can still hold on.
The killer point is still Juve's two wing-back positions.
Patrice Evra is about to turn 34 and Lichtsteiner is 31.
Not only did these two guys have to watch out for the quick counter-attacks from the Chelsea wings in today's game, but they also have to make an important contribution in the attacking end, constantly pushing forward.
It's nothing in their respective prime, they're all very physical, but the biggest enemy of the players is time and injuries.
People have to obey the old.
Patrice Evra couldn't hold it first, and just after the 60th minute of the second half, he made frequent mistakes on the defensive end.
Salah doesn't respect the old and love the young on the pitch, so holding the ball is to force Evra!
stunned and dragged the former Manchester United captain down alive!
Allegri is really out of luck now.
Because in the second half of the season, Juventus's left side was injured, tender and tender, and apart from Evra, there was no qualified substitute at all.
Replace Patrice Evra at this time?
Then he would have to let Chiellini go up on the left flank, and then let Barzagli partner Bonucci.
But what is the difference between this tactical adjustment and outright surrender?
In desperation, Uncle Yu could only let Evra hold on a little longer.
Juve seized the time to launch a general attack.
In the 63rd minute of the second half, Alvaro Moratara, on the side, forced his national team team-mate Cesar Azpilicueta, but the cross he sent was cleared by John Terry.
After another two minutes, Morata switched to the right and cut straight behind Bertrand!
After receiving Vidal's over-the-top pass, he chose to volley directly into the far corner without stopping the ball!
It was a dangerous shot and Cech had to be on the safe side and punched the ball wide of the line.
In just 5 minutes, Morata stepped up and made risks one after another, but he still played his worth.
It was this attacking tactic that made the Chelsea fans look at each other.
The live camera also focused on Lukaku, who was sitting on the Chelsea bench at the moment, glaring at Lukaku, who was scratching his head.
Morata has speed, and he can also eat full-backs in terms of confrontation, which is really exactly the same as Lukaku's advantage!
But Chelsea's response was quick.
Leon switched positions directly with Kroos and went to the right side of his own half.
In this way, he and Nemanja Matic split the midfield between the left and right, and the defense radiated exactly two flanks.
Morata wants to play a misplaced attack again, and they are about to make a move.
It's a pity that Chelsea's side just changed formation, and before Morata could continue to exert his strength, Juventus's backfield was the first to have problems.
In the 67th minute of the second half, Evra fell to the ground with cramps and couldn't hold on.
Allegri had a calm face and could only choose to change the formation in advance.
However, after replacing Evra with Barzagli, Uncle Chiellini did not let Chiellini play on the left wing.
Instead, he made a series of substitutions, replacing Marchisio with Koeman, and then switching to a 352 formation!
Koeman became a left wing-back after coming on, and Juventus can be regarded as having full attacking ability.
But it was just when Juventus lifted their tactical chassis and wanted to make the final blow.
On the bench at Chelsea, Mourinho called out Callas, Maguire and Ramirez.
This scene saw countless Juventus fans break the defense directly!
Fans who are used to watching the Premier League are smiling "as it is" in front of the TV.
The final 20 minutes of the game were almost entirely a rehearsal game between Juventus and Chelsea.
Jose Mourinho and the Chelsea players can really pull down their faces, that is to say, to defend to the death!
Li Ang also had no intention of playing Juventus on the counterattack to score goals.
After a thorough squatting, Chelsea put on one of the most luxurious defensive buses in Europe at Stamford Bridge.
Even if Allegri was replaced by Llorente at the last moment, Juventus' battering ram failed to break Chelsea's reinforced concrete defence!
As soon as the 4 minutes of stoppage time arrived, the referee on duty blew the whistle for the end of the game!
Stamford Bridge celebrates their second consecutive season in Champions League semi-finals at home to the roar of cheers!
And this time, they all believe that their team will not stop there!
Chelsea beat Juventus 2-0 on aggregate over two legs to secure their final place in this season's Champions League semi-finals.
Two minutes earlier, Atletico had beaten Arsenal 2-1 and eliminated Arsenal 3-1 on aggregate, leading Chelsea into the last four of the Champions League.
At this point, the final Champions League top 4 teams of this season are finally unveiled.
The Madrid duo have a chance to re-defend the dignity of La Liga, and the defending champions Bayern Munich are aiming for two consecutive Champions League achievements!
Chelsea, on the other hand, have reached the last four of the Champions League for the second season in a row, and this time, they vowed to win it all without regrets!
The quarter-finals of the Champions League came to an end, and just three days later, the draw for the Champions League semi-finals was held in Switzerland as scheduled.
This year's Champions League knockout draw will continue until the end of the semi-finals, with no divisions in advance, and the opponents in each round are unknown.
This undoubtedly adds to the excitement of the second half of the Champions League competition.
However, once again in an interview with reporters before the lottery ceremony, Li Ang learned to be obedient and no longer spoke to pull hatred.
"I don't want to draw Real Madrid, except for meeting Real Madrid on the final stage, I don't want to be against Real Madrid in advance, that's all."
Leon was very clever enough to avoid the reporters' question traps.
And UEFA did not rush to let Real Madrid and Chelsea collide in the semi-finals.
The final draw resulted in a civil war between the two Madrid giants, with Bayern Munich and Chelsea once again colliding in the semi-finals!
The last thing Bayern fans want to see is the draw happen, but for Chelsea fans, it's their best chance to get revenge!
Last season, Chelsea couldn't do the Bayern of the universe, and they hated to dream of the Champions League semi-finals.
This season, Chelsea has made up reinforcements, so naturally they have to get up where they fall!
Li Ang was also quite satisfied with the results of such a draw.
It is to play the champions of the major leagues, and if they can meet Real Madrid again on the final stage, it will be the best result.
On 26 April, the FA Cup semi-finals kicked off with Chelsea away at Aston Villa.
In a decisive situation, Chelsea went all out and went straight to the final 4-0!
Their opponents in the FA Cup final were none other than their neighbours Arsenal.
Wembley Stadium is set to play its second London derby of the season!
