Zhang Gongzi saw that his teammates were caught in a meat grinding battle in the midfield, and after he couldn't get past the ball several times, he knew that he had to retreat to respond.

Rijkaard's side also demanded that Barcelona's four defenders could not be easily pressed, if he did not pick up his teammates in the midfield, then under the absolute disadvantage of the number of people in the region, Ronaldo and Xavi would be difficult to beat with two fists!

Originally, the combination of these two, coupled with Davis, who has excellent offensive ability, and Maniche, who can also play multiple positions, should not be at a disadvantage.

But Rijkaard made a bad move at the beginning, and this season, especially Davis, who has recovered from injury, has slipped to the level of "can't defend and can't attack".

In the 20th minute of the first half, Mendes himself did not expect a somewhat risky attempt, which directly caused Davies's dribbling error.

This time Chelsea broke the ball directly in midfield, and Mendes caught up with the football and found a long ball towards Drogba in front.

But in his eagerness, his pass was a bit difficult.

This "difficulty" does not refer to "passing", but to "catching the ball".

At this time, Drogba can see from the combat power value, in addition to being very awesome in terms of physical attributes, offensive and technical attributes, including consciousness attributes, all have obvious shortcomings.

This is also a common problem for some African players, mainly because they are exposed to football or receive professional training late.

Therefore, these players have a strong physical quality in adulthood, but in terms of consciousness and technology, they still need to rely on long-term acquired strengthening, and they must meet famous teachers, and these two elements cannot be played without one.

Drogba is a typical example, he is not young at this age, but he is willing to work hard, and he has met a lot of nobles along the way, so he can see that he has made a lot of progress every season, and he is a typical late bloomer.

But Drogba's big weapon is still far from big enough!

Mendes replaced Gudjohnsen with the ball and caught it steadily, but Drogba's stop was not much better than Li Yi's, and he stopped the ball directly to Alvarez.

"Thanks, stupid!"

After Alvarez snatched the football back, his heart was full of contempt for this stupid black big man!

He felt that Drogba was nothing but physically stronger!

Ronaldo came back to catch the ball and Frank Lampard chased after him from behind.

At this time, Ronaldo showed his demonic talent for space, and he could clearly sense Frank Lampard's position behind him the moment he received the ball, and could even anticipate the opponent's pause.

It's a talent, and the instantaneous reactions of many stars are actually made by the brain itself in a split second.

And these reactions, which are close to instinct and difficult to obtain through acquired efforts, are the so-called "spirituality"!

I saw that Xiao Luo first carried Lampard with his back, and this small action made the latter stand unsteadily, and the center of gravity of his body also had a small stiffness.

Ronaldo took advantage of this fleeting stiffness to quickly pick the ball to chest height, and then lifted his other leg to lift the ball over Frank Lampard's head as if he were dancing samba, and he turned in the opposite direction to complete an acrobatic man-ball pass.

"Boom!"

The Chelsea fans at the scene couldn't help but shout when they saw such a spiritual breakthrough!

This time the "Rainbow Person" can be regarded as Xiao Luo's signature breakthrough, and the whole process does not seem to be dancing samba at first glance, but like being electrocuted.

However, through the perfect control of the sense of space, ball sense, and explosiveness, Lampard's completely flawless defense was broken through by Xiao Luo's play.

It was definitely a huge blow to Frank Lampard himself, who was played by Zhang Gongzi last season with acrobatic moves.

Although this humiliation is not as severe as the last one, it is also destined to become a backdrop for many highlights.

Ronaldo didn't even give Lampard a chance to catch up and counter-attack after the ball had been split.

Ronaldo, who is now at the peak of his athleticism, has already picked up his speed when he gets the football, and Lampard can't catch up from behind.

Mendes, who was not far away, hesitated slightly, and actually chose to make up for the defense.

But like this, which can't produce a pincer effect, and the opponent has already rushed up to make up the defense, no one can prevent Xiao Luo in this period.

"Stupid!"

Mourinho naturally scolded on the sidelines, he clearly emphasized before the game, once he was broken through by Xiao Luo and formed such a high-speed breakthrough state, he would either foul directly, or shrink into the penalty area!

But Mendes actually wanted to make up for the defense, which was naturally Xiao Luo, who was dribbling at high speed, and broke through directly with a very exaggerated change of direction with a very exaggerated body movement.

"Good shot!"

At this time, Mourinho suddenly shouted, only to see Xiao Luo after breaking through Mendes, and it was obvious that the distance of the ball was a little larger when passing.

And this flaw was caught by Makelele.

Mourinho's most reassuring defensive stalwart took the lead in shoveling the ball before Ronaldo could control the ball again.

Xiao Luo had no choice but to jump over Makelele, and then turned around and gave a thumbs up to the other party.

This can make Zhang Gongzi angry enough, your quality is also good, right?

This one...... Xiao Luo's qualities...... It's really good.

Otherwise, he would have been depressed by his various calculations.

"Brazilian Elf", this is not just a ball skill, but Xiao Luo does have a kind of innocence that makes people feel good.

You say he's stupid or stupid, but this person just has an audience.

"Claude, thank you!"

Mendes' expression at this time was similar to that of Terry just now, and he knew very well that if Ronaldo continued to take the ball, their defense would probably be broken.

"Either flank or don't make up!"

Makelele also knew that this time was very thrilling, and he could no longer take care of the other party's emotions, and at this time there was already an obvious hint of criticism in his tone.

He came up to help defend this time, which actually went against the pre-game arrangement.

But when he saw that Mendes did not run back with him, but went up to make up for Xiao Luo, he knew that if he didn't follow him, then Chelsea, who was passed by Xiao Luo again, would not have enough defensive strength to limit so many threat points.

Therefore, his assistance in defense this time belongs to the forced "stud"!

If Ronaldo had been a little better in possession after getting past Mendes, the result could have been that his tackle was just for nothing.

Not only will Chelsea's defence collapse completely, but Ronaldo will likely stage a Maradona-style long-distance attack.

Such a solo ride to break the level, if the final goal is scored.

Chelsea's spirit will be wiped out for the whole round of the game, and it is possible to collapse directly!

Mourinho also knows that this goal is too dangerous, this Mendes is still not reliable enough!

He should have been more resolute in the first place, suggesting that Abu should fight for Deco at any cost, or at least buy another reliable midfielder.

In his eyes, Lampard is actually not as big as Claude Makelele, and he is not as good as Deco at both ends of the pitch.

Chelsea dodged and the game was back in an ugly grinder.

Harvey and Ronaldo started getting kicked down non-stop!

Today's Chelsea players really kick the ball in their legs as soon as they see them in their hands, not in the running for the football!

After Zhang Gongzi retreated to respond, he was also greeted on his leg as soon as he took the ball.

This kind of kicking is not about hurting people, but about using fouls to interrupt your rhythm and block your attack.

So as long as Barcelona's three dangerous players get the ball in a more dangerous place, the most cost-effective thing for Mourinho is to stop the game with a foul!

It's certainly not okay to play on the road, but at Chelsea's home stadium, as long as it's not a player who fouls in a short period of time, or if the foul is too big, the referee won't play lightly.

UEFA officials were naturally frowning as they watched from the scene, and they really didn't like this style of team as fans other than Chelsea.

Such a game is too boring, too ugly, too murderous ratings!

But the effect is really good, Zhang Gongzi couldn't help but feel a little angry after being put down several times as soon as he got the ball!

If you change to a player with an average mentality, it will be estimated that you will no longer be able to keep calm, and then your foot skills will naturally be affected!

"Toot!"

In the 26th minute of the first half, today's Swedish referee finally showed the first yellow card, which was won by Glenn Johnson, who later became known as the "Strong God".

"Not good!"

Mourinho was frightened when he saw this, because it was Zhang Gongzi who was deliberately moving closer to Johnson who was fouled this time.

"This kid is very silly!"

Zhang Gongzi was really shoveled lightly this time, but he almost laughed when he rolled around with his legs.

Because, he seems to have found a breakthrough!

This Glenn Johnson is indeed a breakthrough!

This kid's physical fitness is really top-notch, but his brain obviously can't keep up, and he doesn't even look very smart.

He deliberately went to the side road this time to try, and the result of this trial made him a happy discovery.

Mourinho naturally knows that this former disciple's ball quotient is very high, which is obviously a shortcoming, and it is estimated that a large number of points will be targeted at this next.

So should he just replace Johnson?

At this time, the magic bird finally knew how tangled the coaches of the teams that were defeated by Porto.

Of course, he can't just replace the team's young talent because of a mistake, otherwise it will be a big blow to his self-confidence alone, and it will also affect the relationship between the two sides.

So, he could only take another look.

But when I looked at it, I saw that Harvey was also running for Glenn Johnson.

However, this time the 1V1 contest ended with Harvey being directly knocked over!

Zhang Gongzi was able to earn a yellow card from Glenn Johnson, in addition to the awesome skills at his feet, his explosiveness also played a big role.

But Xavi's explosiveness is obviously worse, which gives Glenn Johnson reaction time after being shaken, and combined with the advantage of the home whistle, Xavi seems to have been hit by a mud truck, and he didn't even get a foul.

"Stupid, just go around in circles, 1-on-1 eating is not your forte! If you TM have this ability, Barcelona will not first correct Xiao Luo as the core, and then I will seize power. ”

Zhang Gongzi really doesn't think very highly of Harvey, because this is a second or third master who can only add icing on the cake and can't send charcoal in the snow, which is basically the level of imitation and imitation of Deco.

Of course, this is viewed by his vision and standards, after all, even Xiao Luo is a 1.5 level in his eyes.

After Glen Johnson's side completed a brilliant defense, the flame of expressiveness began to stir in his heart.

Mourinho has actually been struggling with not letting him start, because it will be Glenn Johnson, who is only 21 years old, is too hot-headed and likes to rush up alone.

If it's in the league, they can afford it.

But in the Champions League, neither Mourinho nor Chelsea can afford to pay too many fees.

So I saw Zhang Gongzi force to the side again soon after to play against Glenn Johnson, and finally under Terry's back-and-forth attacks, it still seemed like a football firmly stuck to his feet, and finally after Johnson, who lost his balance, lost his mind and tripped from behind.

Mourinho's expression was completely uncontrollable, the panicked + panicked expression that lost his normalcy was like seeing a ghost!

"Made, don't give a yellow card here?"

However, the referee saved Chelsea!

The referee, after a moment of consideration, did not show Glen Johnson a second yellow card on a short period of time.

But this time, the meaningless kick from behind is a proper yellow card according to the rules.

Even if Zhang Gongzi is obviously suspected of cheating, it is at most a reasonable use rule.

Chelsea fans, who had already begun all kinds of foul language on the scene, didn't even dare to breathe for a while when they saw Johnson stretch out his feet to win before he lost his balance and fell to the ground, because they also knew that this fearless move was likely to be a yellow card symbolizing destruction.

Zhang Gongzi naturally got up and chased the referee all the way to question, and judging from the referee who kept retreating and did not show him a yellow card, it was obvious that he felt that he was at a loss.

But football matches are like this, no matter how big the star is, he can't escape the referee's hand.

Zhang Gongzi has already calculated, he has the biggest "Debuff" of "Chinese players", but he has never suffered much from the referee's troubles, and even often gets the star whistle treatment.

He chased the referee and questioned him just now, and he was not blown a yellow card, strictly speaking, he can be regarded as a star whistle.

Mourinho only felt that he was escaping death at this time, and then immediately motioned for Bosingwa to warm up.

He is still ready to replace the not too reliable Glenn Johnson early, and will let Bosingwa play left wing-back, let Ferreira return to his most comfortable right-back, or this two-sided defensive combination during Porto's treble winning period is more reassuring.

Glenn Johnson also apparently saw Bosingwa get up to warm up, which made his mentality a little broken, he didn't want to be replaced so early!

In the 32nd minute of the first half, when Bosingwa stood up and started to warm up, Barcelona was still pressing Chelsea's onslaught!

But the seasoned Gallas intercepted the diagonal ball to Gyuli and immediately split the ball.

Glenn Johnson's eyes lit up suddenly, because Harvey was not by his side at this time, and there was a large open field in front of him!

This discovery made him no longer able to resist the idea of rushing to a wave, and besides, he was going to be replaced anyway, so let's go crazy one last time!

Glen Johnson made up his mind, accelerated his dribbling and rushed forward down the wing.

This side-kick did catch Barcelona off guard, and Chelsea's backline was stuck in front of the penalty area today, the kind that couldn't be lured.

So Glenn Johnson suddenly burst out, at least the "suddenness" is full.

And his explosive 93 explosive power + 89 speed also made Barcelona a little unprepared.

It also has to do with arrogance, they actually had a detailed picture of Glen Johnson and knew very well that the full-back, who seemed to be a trumpet, Adriano, could not be ignored.

However, they just looked down on these so-called English geniuses.

"Phew, the genius of the English, it's all blown out!"

That's the general perception up and down Barcelona, and while it's not to be mistaken, it's not a reason to have your nostrils up.

As a result, Glenn Johnson, who was ready to go crazy before being replaced, dribbled the ball all the way through the midfield at high speed, and Barcelona's defense still failed to react in time.

After Van Bronckhorst missed the best chance to make up the defense, he didn't dare to go up and intercept at all, because he felt that it would be for nothing to do so, so he simply let go of the wing and ran back along the ribs, which was intended to cut inside.

However, Glen Johnson doesn't have much ability to cut inside yet, and what he's best at the moment is his breakthrough crosses!

So Glenn Johnson, who ran almost 60 meters, crossed directly from the wing.

"Stop him!"

Zhang Gongzi already felt that something was wrong, because Drogba was also running in front of the big penalty area at this time.

And when the football fell like a cannonball, Drogba ran just in front of the landing point.

At this time, I saw Drogba ignoring Puyol's hand-to-hand dragging, jumping high against the football, and actually grabbed between Alvarez and Puyol, and forcibly completed an earth-shattering high-altitude bombardment on the line of the big penalty area!

Valdés was directly dumbfounded, he couldn't judge the shooting route of the ball at all, and it was estimated that Drogba himself was blind by feeling.

As a result, he couldn't react at all to Drogba's header until he saw the ball flying towards the left side of the goal at high speed, and it was too late for him to make a save.

Drogba's ball has a huge forward momentum, and the top is extremely positive, and the football that was already smashed down at high speed has been strengthened on his head for the second time, and the ball speed is as fast as a world wave!

“Gooooooooooooal!!!”

"The score is 1:0!"

"Our Ivorian Tower!"

"He was like a flying buffalo in this moment, he educated these Spanish invaders fiercely and defended the honour of Stamford Bridge"

“……”

The British commentator was going crazy at this time, not only because Drogba scored this goal beautifully, but also because this goal is really valuable to Chelsea, who are good at defense!

At this point, just look at the Mourinho who was waving his arms wildly on the sidelines, shouting like crazy as he ran, almost coming straight to his knees, to see how important this goal is to Chelsea.

"Made, I knew I couldn't be trusted!"

Zhang Desheng was expressionless in the middle of the scene at this time, but he scolded the back line again and again in his heart!

Drogba is very loose in shooting and dribbling, and he is not very conscious.

But when encountering this kind of counterattack, it is true that there are not many backlines that can withstand it, after all, in terms of physical fitness alone, Drogba can barely be regarded as Haaland, who is one size younger.

Mourinho's celebration was a little longer than Drogba's, but when he finished celebrating and heard the home fans shouting clearly, the smile on his face immediately froze.

It wasn't that the referee ruled that the goal was invalid, but that the Chelsea fans at the scene got a little carried away and began to carry out a personal attack on Zhang Gongzi.

"Chinese guys, aren't you very good at scoring goals? Who is the lagging side now? ”

"Chinese guys, you're a soft-bastard who only plays where you're weak! Do you know what it's like to be hard? ”

"Chinese Yankee, when you see your British grandfather, your braids are leaking out again!"

“……”

To be honest, this kind of taunt is nothing, it's a normal away atmosphere!

But those statements that were clearly racist, and even turned to attack the flower growers, soon took over and took over, which made Mourinho feel that it was going to be troublesome.

He knew best that once this former disciple became angry, that combat power could not be described as terrifying, it was simply cruel!

"Frank, tell them that Didier is the only one left in the front court, and the rest are all back to defend!" Mourinho decided to get a shot quickly, and then something suddenly came to mind, and he almost reached out to pull Lampard, who was drinking from the sidelines, "Also, tell Glenn that he has run out of attacking quota today, and if he attacks again, I will replace him immediately." ”

After this arrangement, Mourinho finally relaxed a little.

No matter how good Zhang Desheng is, in the face of the dense defense of 10 people in the half, he shouldn't be able to turn the sky, right?
