On the evening of March 24, Stamford Bridge in London.

When Sweden's referee Andres Friske blew the whistle for the start of the game, Vieri kicked the ball to Diego Forlan in the middle circle, who then passed it back to Frank Lampard.

Frank Lampard sent a long ball straight above the head of the Atletico defence.

Lucio quickly pushed the ball back.

This was clearly expected by the Chelsea players, who quickly formed a press up front.

In just 53 seconds or so, Chelsea had an attacking chance up front.

Vieri headed over to Diego Forlan and the former Atletico player fired a long-range shot from the top of the box.

Petr Cech flew to the side and held the ball firmly.

The fans across Stamford Bridge were cheered up.

Tonight, more than 40,000 people poured into this stadium, which can be described as a full house.

Not only that, but in the stands sat the head coach of the England national team, Christian Eriksen, and his little girlfriend.

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich and his wife also sat in the stands.

So a lot of people are speculating that this could be a precursor to Eriksen's takeover of Chelsea.

In front of the home team's coach's box, Ranieri is signaling the team to stabilize a little.

But on the pitch, the pace of the Chelsea players is like a wild horse that has escaped from the brings.

What's more, there is no one pulling on the pitch either.

……

Yang Hao walked to the sideline and called out to Xavi Alonso, signaling him to pay attention to Diego Forlan again.

The Uruguayan is Atletico Madrid, and Yang Hao knows his strength better than anyone else.

On the periphery of the penalty area, this is Diego Forlan's best scoring area, and it must be taken seriously.

Tonight's start is really a Premier League.

Chelsea went straight to the big as soon as they came up.

Lampard's long pass even gave Yang Hao a feeling that Chelsea kicked the ball directly to Atletico Madrid, and pointed to Atletico Madrid's nose and said: You control, labor and management not only want to steal your ball, but also shoot your goal!

Tonight, Chelsea's starting line-up is 442.

Goalkeepers: Cudicini;

Defenders: Bridge, Terry, Desailly and Gallas;

Midfielders: Duff, Claude Makelele, Lampard and Parker;

Forwards: Diego Forlan and Vieri.

Before the game, Yang Hao focused on asking players to pay attention to several points in defense.

Although Vieri is about to be 31 years old and his performance in the Premier League is not very ideal, but in the end, Vieri cannot be careless.

Diego Forlan's ability to shoot on goal.

In Yang Hao's previous life, Forlan did not play well when he partnered with Ruud van Nistelrooy as a two-striker at Manchester United, but this season at Chelsea, he has shone with Vieri and Gudjohnsson, and has performed very well.

Previously, the British media also reported the news that Ferguson praised Diego Fran, which made Yang Hao feel weird when he saw it.

In addition, Duff is very sharp on the left.

Finally, it was Frank Lampard's back plug.

Reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League is unquestionable, and Ranieri has also created a mature tactical framework for Chelsea, and the reason why he has been sticking to 442 is because he has several very good strikers.

Two of them are from Atletico Madrid, Diego Forlan and Hasselbaink.

Yang Hao's game strategy is to try to seize possession, slow down the tempo of the game, and use Atletico's advantage of passing possession to tear apart Chelsea's defence and create chances.

Ranieri's style of play was a bit surprising to Yang Hao.

It stands to reason that in the knockout round of the Champions League, it is the norm to grab goals away from home.

Shouldn't Chelsea, who are playing at home, have to settle their ground first?

Why did you put on a posture at the beginning, look like you want to play high, play shock flow, and directly fight Atletico Madrid?

It doesn't make sense, does it?

But the game began, and Yang Hao didn't care about guessing Ranieri's intentions anymore.

Anyway, it's all about scoring away goals, so let's die.

Yang Hao also made some tactical changes tonight, and one of the very obvious changes was that Reyes appeared on the right and Joaquin appeared on the left.

Drogba is still the center forward.

In midfield were Deco and Baraja, with Xavi Alonso lagging behind.

The backfoot winger is also not a new tactic, with Zinedine Zidane on the left and Duff occasionally on the right.

And Arsenal's Thierry Henry, Juventus' Piero, aren't they all very good at moving on the left?

Reyes played on the right and it worked just three minutes later.

Atletico's counter-attack was passed to the feet of Reyes on the right rib.

Instead of continuing to rush forward, Reyes took two steps horizontally and sent a diagonal pass with his left foot.

The pass cut through both Chelsea defences with pinpoint precision and landed on the left side of the box.

Joaquin stepped in diagonally, pushed his shot, and slid out the door slightly.

It was Atletico's first shot of the game.

Yang Hao applauded vigorously on the sidelines and applauded loudly for the connection between the two players.

At the same time, he also signalled the team to press up and try to keep the game in the Chelsea half.

Reyes is not a traditional winger like Vicente, but he still plays well on the right.

Previously, he was also a substitute for Joaquin on the right side.

Soon, Atletico created another chance up front.

Joaquín dribbled diagonally down the left flank, shook Gallas and crossed to the edge of the penalty area, where Baraja got ahead of Makelele and fired a long-range shot straight over.

But it was in the ninth minute that Chelsea played a quick counter-attack.

Diego Forlan played the wall and delivered a behind-the-back ball that Duff cut in with blistering speed.

Duff's speed was indeed fast, and despite carrying the ball, McCone couldn't catch up with him, so he could only drag Lucio at the end to rush over to help defend and block Duff.

And when Duff tried to cross to Vieri, Carvalho scrambled to clear the ball first.

There was a sigh from across Stamford Bridge.

Yang Hao signaled to the players on the sidelines to continue to move forward, don't be afraid.

This is something that has been expected for a long time.

Duff's speed is used to fight back.

Atletico will definitely give Duff a chance to fight back, and this is just the beginning.

If you are afraid of Duff's counterattack and dare not press it, what about Vieri's header and Diego Forlan's long-range shot?

Therefore, Yang Hao's choice is to press it up and let Duff fight back.

But at the same time, he also motioned to Lucio to pay attention to Duff's forward thrust.

At that moment just now, Yang Hao really remembered the game in the next few years that made McCone fall off the altar.

The difference is only from the guy who passed to himself three seconds later, to the current Duff.

The reason why that game was exposed was actually a multifaceted factor.

It's not just because of Benitez's high position, it's more about the organizational problems of the defensive line, which has exposed McCone too much.

Yang Hao also noticed this, so just now Lucio returned to protect McConn's back in time.

Defending is never a one-man business.

If you really fight alone, no matter how good the defensive player is, you will be abused by the offensive player to the point of collapse.

……

As the game progressed, Atletico gradually began to control the ball and rhythm on the field.

Especially from the 15th minute, Chelsea basically switched to the defensive counter-attack.

Ranieri doesn't have a good way to deal with this, and in terms of overall strength, Chelsea is still inferior to Atletico Madrid.

Especially with the Sheets Legion in control of the ball.

In the 19th minute, Atletico created another chance, Deco split the ball to the left rib to find Joaquin.

The Spanish winger dribbled diagonally into the penalty area and, facing Gallas's defence, crossed diagonally to the left side of the penalty area.

Patrice Evra stepped forward with great speed to get ahead of Gallas, caught Joaquin's pass and crossed with his left foot.

In the box, Drogba headed home under John Terry and Desailly.

But it failed to top the right part and rose again.

Three minutes later, it was Didier Drogba again with a long-range shot from the edge of the box.

Chelsea are also not fuel-efficient lamps.

In the 26th minute, Claude Makelele played a long ball and Vieri headed it wide and Parker fired a long-range shot.

Although he couldn't shoot on target, he also created a bit of danger.

The game was very tight, Atletico were never able to control the game smoothly, and were always interrupted by Chelsea, which made it difficult for Atletico to create chances.

The whole first half was a stalemate, no one was able to create absolute scoring chances, and they all stumbled.

Yang Hao also has to admit that Ranieri's ability to coach the team is really strong.

From Valencia to Chelsea, it's all the foundation he has laid down.

……

"It's okay, it's okay!"

At halftime, Yang Hao walked into the locker room and smiled and applauded his players.

Just now, at the entrance of the players' tunnel, he sent the players in one by one, and also gave encouragement and affirmation.

It's the same now.

"I told everyone before this game that it was going to be a difficult game and we were all mentally prepared for a tough fight."

Yang Hao's words were unanimously recognized by the players.

Long before the game, he had repeatedly told him that this battle at Stamford Bridge would not be easy.

Yang Hao once again stressed to the players that the more difficult times in this situation, the more they need to be cautious and patient.

Chelsea are now tightening up and defending on the counter-attack, which is really difficult for Atletico.

Especially in the midfield, it is quite difficult to advance.

Claude Makelle is like a ball-grabbing machine, and with a Frank Lampard, the midfield defence is really good.

And Yang Hao's strategy is still the same, that is, to fight patience and consumption with the opponent.

At this time, you can only rely on hard power.

"Pull more, transfer more, especially the two side lanes, you must live."

"When we have the opportunity, we create more opportunities, and if we can't do it, we will transfer."

Yang Hao also asked Joaquin and Reyes to move more around the ribs, let go of the wings, and plug in the back row for the full-backs, because Evra played quite well just now.

'We have the ball in our hands and the full-backs could have been a little more daring.

'And Reyes and McConn, you didn't put enough pressure on Bridge in the first half.

Yang Hao was not satisfied with this point.

In Chelsea's defence today, Gallas plays right wing-back, John Terry and Desailly are central defenders, and right wing-back Bridge is considered a relatively weak backline.

If you want to attack hard, Joaquín and Evra attacked on the left side a few times in the first half, and the effect was okay, but the right side was obviously a little weak, and the pressure on the defenders was not enough.

McConn's answer, he was a little worried about Duff's counterattack.

The winger is really fast.

Baraha, on the other hand, followed McConn's words and stood up and said, "I'll keep an eye on Duff in the second half." ”

Yang Hao thinks so.

To be honest, against Chelsea, the chances of shooting from distance are really not very good, it is better to free up McConn.

"Be a little more resolute in the second half, especially against Bridge!"

Reyes and McCone looked at each other, and both nodded.

"Deco."

Deco hurriedly raised his head, looked at Yang Hao, and listened to the head coach's arrangement.

'You were a little bit more conservative in the first half, but in the second half you had to be more aggressive, especially in the back, and if you look at Frank Lampard, he was very positive and you have to move forward a lot!' Yang Hao encouraged.

Decco nodded heavily, "I see." ”

The midfielder's play-back was effective in keeping Frank Lampard and Claude Makelele at bay and creating more chances for both flanks.

“OK！”

Yang Hao saw that everyone was almost communicating, and applauded vigorously, signaling everyone to cheer up.

"It's the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, it's away, so it's very difficult!"

'Normally, the first goal in this kind of game is the hardest because it will upset the balance of the game.

"But the more difficult it is, the more we have to stay focused and patient."

"You asked me if I had faith, and I answered you then, I had faith, but did you have the determination?"

"Now is the time to test our resolve!"

'Trust me, guys, Chelsea aren't scary, they're just tough, we've had a lot of teams like this and we're going to have a lot more and more tough teams than them.

"So, believe in yourselves, and believe in me!"

"Finally, in the second half, we need to pick up the pace a little bit and we have to score away from home!"

"Good!" The players responded in unison.

……

The second half of the game begins.

Yang Hao found that Chelsea tried to play a wave of attack.

The pace of the game was noticeably faster.

But in the 48th minute, after Atletico Madrid's own half-time break, Xavi Alonso quickly moved to the left side, Evra rushed forward with the ball, and after playing a one-two with Joaquin, he sent a diagonal pass in the left corner of the penalty area.

In the end, Reyes fell in the box and the ball was collected by Cudicini.

The Atletico players protested, believing it was a foul, but the referee signaled for the game to continue.

Judging from the slow-motion replay, both sides have action at hand, which belongs to the category of whether it can be judged or not.

Of course, Yang Hao still complained.

With this attack, Atletico continued to push forward steadily.

In the 51st minute, Frank Lampard sent in a long ball, but Cech decisively dropped the goal.

This time, the Czech goalkeeper attacked very far away, and even rushed directly to the top of the arc, facing the incoming ball with a direct header, which was headed to the retreating Lucio, and then distributed to the right for McConn.

McCone stopped the ball near the halfway line and turned, and Duff pressed it in the first place.

'Chelsea pressed more up front in the second half.

'Obviously, Ranieri also realised that when they were kept in the half by Atletico, it was really difficult to threaten on the counter-attack, and the most threatening attack tonight was the one from Duff, but it couldn't get on target.

'Chelsea are just trying to get out of formation now, at least stay close to the halfway line with Atletico.'

"It can greatly shorten the distance of their attack."

"Look at Duff, press on McConn."

"McCone passes the ball to Reyes who retreats."

"Reyes made a quick stop and turned, cut inside with the ball, and walked the ribs."

McCone, after seeing Reyes turn around, rushed forward as soon as possible, and very quickly.

Duff was also stunned for a moment, and chased after him as soon as possible.

On the way into the 30-metre zone of Chelsea, McCone called out to Reyes.

And Atletico Madrid's entire formation is once again pressed forward, especially a few players in the front.

Reyes had just burst to the right periphery of the penalty area with the ball when he saw Bridge coming up, and he immediately distributed the ball to the right side.

McCone raced along the right-hand touchline, striding Reyes' pass towards the line and catching up with him himself, glancing sideways into the box along the way.

At this moment, Drogba was on the left side of the penalty spot, gesturing towards McConby.

Duff chased after him, but McCone took the lead and crossed the moment Duff caught up with him.

The Chelsea winger tried to block but couldn't reach it.

The ball landed at the back post of the goal.

Drogba and John Terry both held their heads up, judging where the ball would land, and kept adjusting their positions.

Terry is more likely to block between Drogba and the goal, not giving Drogba a chance to attack the goal directly.

The two jumped at the same time, with Drogba in a better position, but Terry got stuck on the line.

The Ivorian didn't hit the goal with a direct header, but faced the ball flying from the right and pushed it back with his forehead.

Header ferry!!

Didier Drogba's header didn't go in the direction of goal because Desailly had retreated far back.

He headed straight to the right of the penalty spot, right in the space in front of Desailly.

At about the same time, Reyes was already lying in ambush on the right side of the top of the arc after he had just distributed the ball to McConn, ready to step forward.

Seeing that Drogba had no chance to score, he quickly moved forward.

Drogba's header was deflected to the right of the penalty spot, and almost as soon as the ball was about to hit the ground, Reyes followed up and stopped the ball with his left foot towards the spot.

This stop happened to avoid Desailly, who was grabbing.

At this moment, Reyes's technical skills are thoroughly reflected.

In particular, this foot stopping the ball can really be said to be quite a test of footwork and technique.

Reyes stopped just right, with just the right amount of force, and the ball rolled towards the penalty spot as if at his command.

The Spanish winger quickly brushed past Desailly, chased after him, and fired a shot directly with his left foot.

The ball was straight and sticking to the turf, and the ball was very fast.

Goalkeeper Cudicini swooped in quickly.

With a height of only 1.84m, Cudicini is considered relatively short among goalkeepers, mainly known for his reflexes and very agile body.

But that was when he was younger.

At this moment, Reyes' shot was almost aimed at the base of the right post, and although he reacted, he was still a little slower.

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL！！！！！！”

"In the 52nd minute, Reyes !!"

'Atletico have scored against Chelsea!'

'It was a valuable away goal, Reyes opened the scoring for Atletico with a great shot!'

"1 to 0!"

Yang Hao clenched his fists excitedly on the sidelines, clapped his hands vigorously, and applauded the team's goal.

……

"This Atletico team is playing well."

In the stands at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich spoke to his wife, who was sitting next to him.

He doesn't particularly care about the outcome of the game.

In fact, he also knows very well that with Chelsea's current strength, it is still a little difficult to win the title.

In the Premier League, they met a strong Arsenal and a strong Manchester United, and in the Champions League, Chelsea also met teams like Atletico Madrid.

In terms of the game, Atletico played better than Chelsea and had more attacking opportunities.

What's more, their pass-and-possession style of play is pretty good.

It's actually a bit similar to Arsenal in the Premier League, different from those who make long passes at every turn.

Chelsea have been on the big foot this season as well.

"Pini, is it possible to bring in Atletico Madrid as a manager?" Abramovich leaned to the other side and asked with concern.

Sitting next to him was the well-known agent Pini Zahavi.

"You mean, Yang Hao?"

Abramovich sighed, "It turns out that he is Yang Hao." ”

He had heard the name in Russia, and it was famous in world football.

"Yes, he's not only a manager at Atletico, he's also a shareholder." Pini Zahavi said.

"It's still very difficult to dig him up."

"Is it possible?"

Pini Zahavi shook his head, "It's difficult, I think I can consider Portugal's Mourinho, his ability is not lost to Yang Hao, and he has also performed well in the Champions League this season." ”

'I've watched him play a game and I feel like he's playing more conservatively.

Roman Abramovich wants his side to play the kind of attacking that they did, just as they did when he watched Real Madrid play against Manchester United last year.

It was a really good game.

"Take your time, it's not easy to build a big team, it will take a long time."

Pini Zahavi pointed to the stadium, "You see, like Atletico Madrid, Yang Hao took over in 2000 and won the League Cup treble, won the Champions League and La Liga double, but so what? Now it's still a cut away from the giants. ”

"Is it possible to join the G14 to become a giant?" Abramovich asked.

Pini Zahavi shook his head with a smile, "It's not that easy, you see, before you look, we deliberately released the rumors that we wanted to join the G14, but how did those football bigwigs respond?" ”

Not long ago, Chelsea said they wanted to join the G14 group, but they were rejected.

"But the teams they joined before, such as Arsenal, Bayer Leverkusen, Lyon and Valencia, did not have the Champions League, so why did they get in? Why can't Atletico go in? Abramovich asked rhetorically.

"Whether they can enter or not, the standard is also under their control, the four teams that joined later are all strong teams in the major leagues in the past few years, as for Atletico Madrid did not enter, there are different opinions outside, some people say that it is because of Real Madrid's exclusion, who knows?"

"At that time, it was Valencia or Atletico Madrid, who was more qualified to enter the G14, it was really difficult to say."

As for the more specific inside information, Pini Zahavi is also unclear.

From 2000 to the present, Valencia's achievements in La Liga and the Champions League have been very impressive.

What about Atletico?

The rise was the fastest and the result was better than Valencia, but at that time the G14 did invite Valencia, not Atletico.

There is also a theory that Atletico Madrid had not yet won the Champions League when the invitation was issued, so Valencia reached the Champions League final twice and looked better than Atletico.

Who knows?

As he was talking, he suddenly saw Atletico launch another attack.

After receiving the ball on the right rib, Reyes suddenly cut inside, shook off Makelele's defense, and fired a curling ball directly with his left foot.

Cudicini made a crucial side-saving save to keep the ball out of the net.

The whole Stamford Bridge stadium was shocked!

Everyone was stunned by Reyes' sudden shot.

Including Abramovich.

"Wow, is he Joaquin?" Abramovich remembers that Atletico Madrid's right-wing player is called Joaquin, who is a star that Chelsea has been eyeing for a year, and Pini Zahavi has told him before that Joaquí and Duff can form devil's wings.

"No, that's Reyes."

Pini Zahavi pointed to the other side, "The one on the left is Joaquin, they switched places tonight and Joaquín did a good job, creating a threat on the opening couple of times, but we had Gallas defending on the right. ”

Abramovich nodded, Gallas he knew, the strength was good.

"Atletico Madrid's players are still quite strong, that Diego Forlan is our top scorer this season, Hasselbaink is old, otherwise, he is also very good." Roman Abramovich is very recognizant of the quality of the players that Atletico have come out of.

"I think you can think about it." Pini Zahawi hurriedly chimed in.

Last summer, he made a lot of money on the land.

Now, he is also hoping that Abramovich will burn money again this summer, and it is better to go crazy to bring in reinforcements so that he can also get a piece of the pie.

Otherwise, what would he do to convince Abramovich to come to the Premier League for acquisition?

The two were in the stands, watching the game and discussing the players of both teams, especially the targets for this summer.

Roman Abramovich is not stupid, he wants to strengthen the recruitment according to the current needs of Chelsea, and build a team with the quality to win the championship as soon as possible.

And in the 65th minute, a Chelsea counter-attack, Duff dribbled the ball to the feet of Diego Forlan.

The Uruguayan striker's long-range shot from 20 yards out was saved by Atletico Madrid's goalkeeper Petr Cech.

But the ball was still in the big box.

Vieri was tangled with Atletico's centre-back, and chaos erupted in the box.

Carvalho scrambled to clear the ball first.

But just as Xavi Alonon was about to clear the ball again, Frank Lampard burst on, took the lead to stop the ball and fired a furious shot from the top of the box.

Cech was the first to get up from the ground but his view was blocked, and by the time he reacted and saved, Lampard's shot had already penetrated Atletico's goal.

1 to 1!

Flat!

The moment Roman Abramovich saw Frank Lampard's goal, he rose from his seat and applauded his players vigorously, just like Chelsea fans.

'This Lampard is really good!' Roman Abramovich is also very happy with Frank Lampard.

Pini Zahavi nodded busily and added, "My technical team has analysed that if we have a player in midfield to take the pressure off Frank Lampard, it will further unleash his attacking power. ”

"Oh?" Abramovich was taken by surprise.

"He's far underrated." Pini Zahavi affirms.

Abramovich nodded, knowing in his heart, "You make a list, and we'll study it." ”

"Okay." Pini Zahavi secretly rejoiced in his heart.

Is this the list?

No, it's money!

A lot of money!

……

After the game returned to a draw, Yang Hao made a very bold substitution.

Kaka replaces Xavi Alonso.

Tonight, Xavi Alonso's form is not very good, and it is not completely disturbed and limited by the other party, but more of a problem with his own form.

Yang Hao also had Marcos Senna on the bench, but he wanted to get on Kaka and grab an extra away goal.

"Control the ball and the tempo, be patient!"

"Let Reyes go back to the left, Joaquin back to the right, cross for Drogba!"

"Go ahead!"

With Yang Hao's latest instructions, Kaka quickly replaced Xavi Alonso and ran onto the pitch.

Yang Hao hugged Xavi Alonso and sent him to the bench.

Soon, the players on the court received Yang Hao's latest instructions.

Now it's time to attack!

With the adjustment of Atletico's tactics, they began to launch another offensive on the pitch.

First, Reyes broke through with the ball on the left side and shot straight high on the left side of the penalty area.

After that, Kaka also hit a shot on goal, which also failed to score.

The clock quickly entered 70 minutes.

Chelsea's fitness began to decline, while Atletico began to dominate, especially with their skillful passing and possession, once again suppressing Chelsea.

Reyes was still alive when he returned to the left.

In the 76th minute, it was Reyes' cross from the left that was given to the big penalty area.

Drogba's header was crossed to the back post, but Joaquin didn't grab the ball and was cleared by Bridge's header and headed it out.

On the edge of the box, Kaka and Claude Makelle battled for the ball at the same time.

Kaka is 1.86m tall and Makelele is only 1.74m, and needless to say, Kaka touched the ball first and gave it to Deco next to him.

At the crucial moment, Deco got rid of Frank Lampard's entanglement, stopped the ball and burst into the box, and in the face of Terry's up-and-forth, he pulled the ball sideways with his right foot, shaking a gap.

When people were in the penalty area, Terry didn't dare to foul at all, so he could only block with his body.

But Deco was quicker and hit a shot straight at goal.

The ball went through the gap in the penalty area and into the right side of the goal.

Cudicini made a flying save but couldn't touch the ball.

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL！！！！！！！”

"Deco !!"

"76th minute, 76th minute!!"

'Deco burst into the box with the ball and used his skillful footwork to shake off John Terry and put Atletico ahead again.

"2 to 1!"

'Atletico are taking the lead again at Stamford Bridge!'

"My God, tonight's game, Atletico basically controlled the game, Chelsea showed very tenacity, and the defense was very firm, but after all, it still couldn't stop Atletico's attack!"

……

With Atletico scoring again, Chelsea are starting to go crazy.

The cage that the Blues had been holding on to began to loosen up and the players pressed forward aggressively.

Claudio Ranieri first replaced Paco with Joe Cole to strengthen the team's creativity on the right and up front.

Then Hasselbaink was used to replace Desailly, and continued to strengthen the attack.

It was clear that Ranieri was not willing to lose at home to Atletico, so he signalled his team to attack.

At this moment, Chelsea have three strikers on the pitch.

The fans at Stamford Bridge were also excited.

When have you ever seen a tinker with such courage?

But Atletico soon dealt Chelsea a crushing blow.

After Atletico broke the ball in their own half, Lucio passed to Kaka.

Kaka dodged from Claude Makelele and dribbled diagonally to the left before splitting the ball to the left wing.

Patrice Evra dribbled forward along the left touchline and after entering the Chelsea area of 30 metres, he was handed to Reyes.

Reyes stopped the ball on the left side of the box and then passed to Deco, who was able to cut forward as fast as he could.

Deco understood the ball, did not stop the ball, and directly sent a diagonal pass to the left side of the penalty area.

Reyes slotted into the box at high speed, scrambled Gallas into the box before Gallas was in place, and fired a left-footed shot past the Chelsea net again.

"Scoring a brace !!"

"Oh my God!"

"The eagle of Iberia flapps its wings and flies high!"

"Reyes, in the 83rd minute, Reyes scored again, 3-1!"

'Tonight, the Spanish winger was brilliant and scored a brace!'

'Chelsea defended very well organised for most of the night, but Atletico were able to find a breakthrough in the Blues' meticulous defence with their excellent footwork and skillful passing at crucial moments!

'Chelsea are in a terrible situation right now!'

But just before the end of the second half, Ranieri's three-striker approach paid off.

After Vieri and Hasselbaink drew the attention of the defence, Diego Forlan had a chance to get his feet on the edge of the box and the Uruguayan fired a straight shot past Atletico.

2 to 3!

At this time, it was already the 88th minute of the second half.

……

When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, Yang Hao shook his head from the sidelines.

It was a dangerous game.

A big problem is that Atletico Madrid's pass cut tonight didn't work well together.

Xavi Alonso's focus on this point and his own form are not ideal, which has led to problems in the entire midfield of Atletico.

However, the 3-2 away score is not bad for Atletico.

After returning to the home field, as long as you play steadily, there is basically no problem.

The current Chelsea team has done a really good job defensively, even better than Arsenal at the top of the current table, conceding only 19 goals in 29 league games.

By the way, in Yang Hao's previous life, Arsenal this season should be unbeaten, but due to Vieira's departure and Reyes did not transfer to Arsenal during the winter break, the current Gunners actually lost 1 game and did not maintain an unbeaten record.

However, this is quite a good palmares.

There are two teams in European football that are ahead of the curve this season: Arsenal in the Premier League and Atletico Madrid in La Liga.

Arsenal have lost just one game this season, while Atletico Madrid have lost just two.

"You guys played really well." Ranieri came over to shake hands with Yang Hao as soon as he finished the game.

"You too, it's dangerous." Yang Hao replied with a smile.

"See you in Calderón in those two weeks!" Ranieri is clearly not conceded yet.

With a score of 2-3 at home, there is still the possibility of a comeback.

It's just that Chelsea need to be able to score at least two goals away from home.

I believe that when the time comes, Ranieri should not be as conservative as he is now.

……

When Atletico narrowly beat Chelsea 2-3 away, the results of the other three Champions League semi-finals were also informed.

AC Milan beat Deportivo La Coruna 2-1 at home.

Although Capdevilla set up Pandiani to open the scoring, Carlo Ancelotti's side then scored two goals in a row to complete a 2-1 comeback at home, but the result was unpredictable due to the away goal given to Deportivo La Coruna.

Porto beat Monaco 3-0 at home and basically advanced to the semi-finals.

In the other game, Inter Milan beat Arsenal 3-0 away with Adriano's hat-trick.

Cooper's side were ambitious after winning the Champions League and Serie A double last season, especially with the introduction of Donny van der Meyde, the two wings were completely activated.

At Highbury, it was the assists of Van der Meyde and Keely Gonzalez that gave Adriano a hat-trick.

Once again, the Brazilian centre-forward shone and knocked Arsenal out of the tournament almost early.

When Yang Hao got the news, on the one hand, he was happy for Adriano, but on the other hand, he was also worried about the current Inter Milan.

It's really strong!

At the same time, he is also secretly glad that he did not sell Deco to Inter Milan last summer, otherwise, it is estimated that the Nerazzurri team will really blow up the sky.

If the order of the quarterfinals is followed, Inter Milan does not need Atletico Madrid to worry about it for the time being.

If Atletico do make it past the quarter-finals, their next opponent is likely to be Jose Mourinho's Porto.

When the time comes, it will be another tough battle.

Yang Hao is not worried about Xavi Alonso's condition, there are still two weeks, so let's adjust slowly.

Next, he intends to give Xavi Alonso a good rest, readjust his form and concentrate on preparing for the Champions League.

Back at the Calderón Stadium, he's going to have some more fun with Ranieri's team!

The Spanish media is in a doldrum.

They are now nostalgic for the last few seasons when La Liga teams were strong in European football, especially in the semi-finals, where they were often able to reach four teams.

But now?

Real Madrid is down, Valencia is not good, and even Deportivo lost the first leg.

Now, it seems that Atletico Madrid is the only one who can hold up the banner of La Liga.

But can the Sheets Army really carry the banner of La Liga?

I'm sorry, this state is really not right today, this chapter was written and deleted, deleted, revised and modified, until now, it always feels very wrong, there is no passion in the past, I watched some ball games, listened to a lot of songs, and people can't get excited. I know what the problem is, once this person relaxes a little, he will not be able to do anything! Please take a few days off, the next single update, I save some manuscripts, and adjust the status myself, sorry, everyone!
