"Oops! What a shame this ball is! Courtois actually saved Leon's powerful shot!

Chelsea's counter-attack at the start was ferocious, and it seems that Mourinho does not intend to crouch conservatively at the Calderón Stadium, and they came to Madrid today with full aggression! ”

"It's the right way to play, and we talked more than once before the game about what tactics are best for Mourinho today, maybe it's the most defensive, but let's be honest, the team that plays away from home in the second leg will be able to put pressure on the opponent better.

It's also a good calculation, for every away goal you score, your opponent will have to score two more goals to get a chance of promotion, otherwise they are likely to be eliminated due to an away goal disadvantage!

Chelsea opted for the bravest style of play today, and they want to take the initiative of promotion firmly in their own hands, which is also the most prominent style of play for Chelsea in recent seasons! ”

Seeing that Chelsea came up with a dazzling attacking performance in the opening stages of the game, the two commentators in the live broadcast room of Sky Sports also spared no effort to hype up!

However, some of the statements in their words are also very plausible.

At least Chelsea supporters are now sympathetic to the idea of attacking at Atletico's home stadium.

In the past few years, what can determine the fate of a team's promotion in the Champions League is often not the victory or defeat of a game, but the away goal system that countless fans love and hate.

In the Champions League knockout round, it is not uncommon to lose 0-1 in the first leg, win 2-1 in the second leg, and be eliminated in the end with an aggregate score of 2-2.

If you really want to judge from a neutral point of view, it is actually fairer for two teams like this to play overtime and then divide the winner.

But it can't be helped, the existence of the away goal system is to force all teams participating in the knockout rounds of the Champions League to grit their teeth and attack when playing away.

In the end, the team that is really eliminated because of the low number of away goals cannot be wronged, because this rule applies uniformly to all teams in the Champions League.

You can be eliminated because of the away goals system, or you can profit from other teams because of this system.

Situations like Atletico's last semi-final away game without scoring a goal are a bit of a death to be honest.

Even if Simeone still gave a more positive tactical response in the second half, he still had too few offensive back-to-back players and was too stiff in his offensive adjustments.

If Jose Mourinho had led his side to play away in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, then attacking favourites would have been the tone of Chelsea's tactics in that game.

After all, scoring an away goal is equivalent to scoring 1.5 goals against the opponent!

With this good thing, what are you waiting for if you don't attack vigorously and take advantage?!

Even if the home team will fight back after attacking, what if you lose?

A 1-0 defeat was bad, but a 2-1 defeat was a good result for teams like Atletico and Chelsea, who were at the top defensively.

But Atletico Madrid didn't seize the opportunity, the attack was too hesitant in the first half, and the second half couldn't come up with too many offensive back-ups, and finally failed to score at Stamford Bridge.

Atletico's current predicament is also a wake-up call for the whole Chelsea team.

Simeone has already set the wrong example, so how could Jose Mourinho repeat the mistake of reaching this season's Champions League final?

So Chelsea started this game without hiding and playing against Atletico Madrid!

Chelsea, who are more physically fit and mentally dominant, have no reason to crouch and defend and hand over the initiative of the game.

For Chelsea's on-field players, today's clash will be a matter of who can better capitalise on their chances in attack.

If they meet on a narrow road, they will be able to stand on the dream stage of the Champions League final again!

What else needs to be kept?

What else do you need to worry about?!

They now just need to go all out to attack the Atletico backline, and even if they concede first, it doesn't matter, they still have a valuable goal difference.

All of the Chelsea players on the pitch also remembered Leon's impassioned motivational speech in the pre-match dressing room.

"From the first second of the race, we gave it our all! Until the final whistle, believe in each other, believe in our coaching staff and believe in ourselves that we can do it!

Don't think about the result anymore, today we will only get one result, and that is to win against the damn Atletico Madrid and double them to reach the Champions League final!! ”

The stirring statement seemed to be echoing in the ears of the Chelsea players at the moment.

They were scrappy and focused, and after almost stabbing Atletico's defense in the opening stages, they launched several quick attacks to penetrate the heart of Atletico's defense!

Within 10 minutes of the game, Suarez and Kevin De Bruyne also had their attempts inside and outside the box, in addition to Leon's threatening volley, which hit the range of goal with a threatening target.

Atletico, who did not expect Chelsea to play so aggressively, could only opt to shrink their formation first and defend in a slightly awkward pit.

Originally, today's game should have been the first to take the initiative to attack and press the Chelsea defence, but at the moment, the attack and defense are directly changed, and they have become the suppressed side.

Many neutral La Liga fans are also secretly stunned to see Atletico Madrid, who have a tough style in La Liga, being so embarrassed by Chelsea.

When Leon set off Chelsea's fourth shot of the day with a long-range strike from outside the box in the thirteenth minute of the first half, Simeone finally couldn't sit still!

The bandit shuai rushed to the sidelines, using exaggerated body language and a roar of dissatisfaction to constantly signal his disciples to expand the defense line as soon as possible!

Don't talk about whether you want to attack and suppress Chelsea, at least don't be like Chelsea is now, and you have four shots on goal in the early ten minutes!

The Atletico Madrid players, who had been stunned by Chelsea's stormy attack, were now able to adapt to the rhythm of the game and gradually cleared their heads.

The disgruntled roar of their own manager was enough to make them feel ashamed, and the sporadic boos from the home fans at the moment made them feel even more ashamed!

This is Calderón, their home stadium, and the famous Devil's Stadium in Europe in recent seasons!

When have they ever been pressed like this by their opponents on this stadium?!

I can't bear it!!

Atletico Madrid, who was ashamed and brave, soon broke out with extremely strong combat effectiveness.

They launched a tougher and more aggressive press at the back, and the conversion of possession between the two teams reached an astonishingly fast point at this point!

Chelsea responded strongly, without half a point of softness, Atletico Madrid grabbed fiercely, and they grabbed it fiercely after losing the ball!

As soon as the tempo of the game was disrupted, Chelsea were certainly affected in attack and were no longer able to play fluid, fast attacks.

But correspondingly, Atletico's counter-attacking moment is also far away, and Atletico Madrid, who can't play a smooth attack, will always have to bear the huge pressure of pressing the equaliser.

Come to think of it, Chelsea still have the upper hand in such a balance of power, and Chelsea fans are more than comfortable with the game as it is.

Simeone knows that time is not on Atletico's side, so he can only keep putting pressure on his disciples, hoping that they can burst out stronger and tenacious.

The chicken soup tactic works very well a lot of the time.

But at the end of the season, especially when the fitness of most of the team's main players is affected, this kind of mental motivation can easily make the players feel even more tired.

Leon was quick to notice subtle changes in his opponents' cadence on the court.

He believed he wasn't alone in feeling this at the moment.

After all, every time the running speed of a player on the field drops a little, it will eventually be reflected in Atletico's overall offensive and defensive performance will be very different from before.

The defensive completion rate is worse, the defensive coverage area has become smaller, and the offensive forward penetration is not frequent enough......

How can Atletico compete with Chelsea at both ends of the pitch?

Li Ang had the result in his heart, but he was not in a hurry to call his teammates to increase their efforts and break down Atletico's defense in one fell swoop.

The reason is also very simple, Atletico Madrid at this time due to various factors such as mentality and physical fitness, which led to a decline in the state of the game.

But this state loss can still be compensated for by the mental explosion.

Chelsea continued to press forward aggressively at this time, and perhaps it would have the opposite effect, pressing out a common enemy who was in better form.

So Li Ang quickly signaled that his teammates didn't need to increase the offensive end anymore and just maintain the previous offensive rhythm.

Frogs boiled in warm water won't resist too violently.

What Leon has to do now is to lead the team to add firewood to the game little by little, and trap Atletico Madrid, a "frog" with limited physical fitness, in the pot.

When the whole Atletico team can't hold up physically, Chelsea will make another wave of reaping the game is the safest way to win.

Holland's choice to stabilize the rhythm and play with Atletico Madrid made Holland a little puzzled, but Mourinho quickly understood the thoughts of his proud disciple after carefully observing the situation on the field.

He continued to sit firmly in the dugout with a smile and no sign of any tactical adjustment.

And with Simeone's tireless encouragement over and over again, the Atletico players on the pitch finally regained control of the game after the 25th minute of the first half.

But even so, Chelsea still did not give up the possibility of seizing the opportunity to switch between attack and defense to play Atletico Madrid's counterattack.

Chelsea's contribution to the back line hasn't been much today.

When attacking Atletico Madrid in a big way, Chelsea almost pressed a full eight players in front!

It seemed like they had lost control of the game, but Chelsea had set up a double defence in the middle, just waiting for Atletico to dive in and start the strangulation tactics!

In short, how to consume the physical energy of the Atletico players as much as possible, Chelsea will play.

The second half of the first half of the game also became an unusually tragic midfield strangulation battle between the two teams!

Neither the Chelsea and Atletico midfielders were in good temper, with Koke being shown a yellow card by the referee for hitting Kroos in the ankle during a counter-attack.

Leon, who was protecting his teammate, received a stern verbal warning from the referee for pushing down Koke.

After that, Matic and De Bruyne, who returned to the defense, received yellow cards one after another because of excessive defensive actions!

The atmosphere of the game gradually became restless, and near the end of the first half, Diego Costa, who finally couldn't hold his temper, was also with Li Angdingniu, who had just tackled and brought him down!

The two violently "greeted" each other in Spanish, but the top cow returned to the top cow, and the old oilman on the two courts put his hands behind his back, and he didn't mean to fight at all.

In the end, under the persuasion of their respective teammates and the stern warning of the referee, the two still withdrew.

This made many neutral fans who were waiting to watch the clash have fun.

The game also entered the halftime period.

Although neither team scored in the first half, they were not conservative today, and the game was still very good to watch.

And the exciting physical confrontation and physical confrontation between the players in the first half of the game can be regarded as adding a lot of "passionate color" to this game.

The hundreds of millions of fans in front of the TV are still quite enjoyable to watch.

It's a pity that in the second half of the game, there was a lot less exciting confrontation between the two teams.

It's not that Chelsea are instigated, but Atletico Madrid is visibly tired again.

Atletico's players may still want to be tough with Chelsea, but their fitness doesn't allow them to continue doing so.

As the first 20 minutes of the second half passed, the game continued to turn irreversibly in Chelsea's side.

Li Ang even held a steady hand, and it was not until the seventieth minute of the game that he took the initiative to exert his strength and led his teammates to press and storm the Atletico backline!

At this awkward point in time, Atletico Madrid is really more than capable at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.

Chelsea, who has taken advantage of physical strength, doesn't know what humility is, and brutally crushed Atletico Madrid and transformed the physical advantage into a victory!

In the 76th minute of the second half, Suarez received a diagonal ball sent by De Bruyne in the rib area and successfully entered the Atletico Madrid penalty area, and took the lead in breaking Courtois's ten fingers with a low shot!

This goal almost completely destroyed Atletico Madrid's hope of a comeback, and also made the morale of the whole Atletico team plummet!

Just five minutes later, Chelsea, who had made a comeback in attack, broke through the Atletico backline from the left and sent a pinpoint cross from Azpilicueta down the ball.

Suarez and Savage, who were battling for the ball in front of the penalty area, collided head-on, and the ball eventually flew outside the box.

Kroos, who had taken the first two points outside the box, just took a moment to observe and then hoisted the ball towards the back of the Atletico goal!

This time, Leon, who competed for the top, was not polite, and directly pressed Felipe Luis to push the football into the upper right corner of the Atletico goal!

Courtois broke down emotionally and clenched his fist and slammed the goalpost!

Gabi couldn't hold it anymore and sat down on the turf painfully motioning to his teammates to help him press his calf, and he was cramping for the second time in the game.

Godin opened his mouth with a slightly bitter look on his face, but he didn't say anything, just silently patted Juanfran on the shoulder, who was already red-eyed.

Against the backdrop of the frantic celebration of the whole Chelsea team, the Atletico Madrid players at the Calderon Stadium had a look of loss on their faces.

They did their best, but fate was the way they did, falling at the feet of Chelsea for the second year in a row, much to the pain and helplessness of all the Atletico players and fans.

When the referee finally blew the whistle for the end of the game, the frustrated Atletico players collapsed on the turf.

And as the victor, Li Ang rushed to his teammates excitedly after calming a few nearby Atletico players a little!

They're going to San Siro!
