Chapter 96

Chapter 96

As halftime was about to end, coach Mourinho walked into the locker room and emphasized the same thing to the Chelsea players.

"It's already the second half of the season, we just need to win the game, there's no need to create unnecessary complications. If we get a red card or a foul by the opponent, causing a player to be injured and unable to play, then the championship we have worked hard for half a season will be far away from us."

Before he finished speaking, Mourinho had already set his sights on Lampard.

Lampard sighed in his heart and hid his head behind Endrit, shielding himself tightly: Damn, will coach Mourinho catch him and talk about this red card for the rest of his life?

The staff came over to remind the players from both sides to set off now. Mourinho gave a few final instructions and then walked ahead.

The game begins

In the 47th minute, West Ham United midfielder Noble's shot from the edge of the penalty area was directly caught by Endrit.

"Chelsea's attacking frequency decreased significantly in the second half. It seems that they had no intention of causing a tragedy at the Boleyn Ground."

In the 60th minute of the game, West Ham United striker Carlton Cole headed the ball and shot it into the goal. Just as Endritt jumped up to catch the ball, he saw John Terry appear in front of the goal in time, cleared the ball with a back hook, and kicked the ball to Carvalho.

The ball was passed to the feet of Chelsea players. After several passes, the ball was passed by Kalou. Cole received the ball on the right side of the penalty area and shot directly, but the ball was saved by West Ham United goalkeeper Green.

The football was saved and flew to the left side of the penalty area. Ashley trotted forward two steps and raised his foot to make a supplementary shot. The football spun and went into the net.

"GOALLLL!!! The ball goes in! Boleyn Tragedy! West Ham United conceded 5 goals at home!"

After Ashley scored the goal, he spread his hands and took a step back when the West Ham United players were looking at him: God is my witness, he just saw the ball there and thought he had a chance to make a follow-up shot. Who would have thought that the ball would actually go in!

He's a defender! Could he have scored the goal on purpose? ! This goal was his first goal after joining Chelsea. If he really did it on purpose, why would he wait three years until this moment? ?

Ashley thought so, but no one except him thought he was innocent. Ballack ran over and bumped into Ashley's shoulder, "Well done! That's how you score a goal!"

The concepts of losing a game and losing a game and conceding 5 goals to the opponent are completely different. Although both gave three points to the opponent, the latter will obviously be hung on the pillar of shame and talked about forever - not to mention that they were at home! On the Boleyn Ground!

After the construction started in May this year, they will soon move to the new stadium to play football. West Ham United players do not want to leave another scar on the Boleyn Ground which is gradually coming to an end.

After the game resumed, West Ham United's offensive was very swift. When they broke through with the ball, they went directly towards the people. The referee Walton blew the whistle and issued several yellow cards before the situation was barely under control.

The game gradually calmed down, but the West Ham United home team fans sitting in the stands could not bear the humiliation and left early.

In the final moments of the game, West Ham United finally seized another chance. West Ham United defender Upson headed the ball in the penalty area, but it went wide.

Referee Walton blew the whistle to end the game loudly, and Chelsea won today's game with a five-goal lead.

After the game, when he got on the bus back to Chelsea, Ashley was still emphasizing his innocence.

"The ball rolled towards me. If you were standing there at the time, believe me, you would have kicked the ball towards the goal! This offensive spirit is engraved in my bones!"

Other players tucked themselves into very comfortable chairs, closed their eyes and enjoyed the leisure time. Endrit poked his head out and looked at Ashley, "Oh, yes, we all understand. You can't control your offensive instinct at all."

"That's right!" Ashley clenched his left fist and punched the palm of his right hand, saying excitedly, "Ritt, you still understand me."

"If you can control yourself, the coach won't scold you all the time during training every day."

"Ritter!"

Ashley's face turned red instantly, the other players laughed, and the bus was instantly filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

…

On the 6th, the second leg of the 2007-08 UEFA Champions League quarter-final was held at Stamford Bridge.

"In the first leg, both teams made many low-level mistakes, but Chelsea took the lead with Endrit's assist."

"Chelsea have been in very good form recently and have rarely made low-level mistakes in the game. This game is Chelsea's home ground, so it will be difficult for Olympiacos to take the victory away from Stamford Bridge."

"We can see today that there are a lot of Chelsea fans here. Oh my god, who is that?! Coach Capello!"

"Everyone, Coach Capello showed up at the game. Maybe in the near future, we will be able to see Ritter in the national team's games!"

Because of the many low-level mistakes made in the first leg against Olympiacos that made him want to beat himself up when looking back, Mourinho still used a 433 formation in this game and let Drogba go at the front.

There were no changes to the other players.

Their opponent Olympiacos played in a 4321 formation in this game, and there was only one change in their starting lineup: Belletti was replaced by Stoltidis.

Is Olympiacos too confident? No, it's because the best lineup they can come up with is what it is now.

In the first leg, Olympiacos had many chances at home, but they still failed to score. And now they have come all the way to play at Stamford Bridge, and they have no confidence at all.

Olympiacos head coach Lemonis spoke passionately for a long time in the locker room, but when he found that he failed to arouse the fighting spirit of the players, he covered his face with his hands in annoyance and hated himself for organizing the players to watch the match between West Ham United and Chelsea.

The last time they played against Chelsea, the opposing players were obviously not in good shape, but even in such a bad state, Chelsea still won. Now that they are back in shape in this game, do they really still have a chance to win?

"We still have a chance to win," Lemonis said through his teeth, not quite believing it himself. "What if Chelsea makes some mistakes in this game? This time, as long as we seize this opportunity, we can win, right..."

Hahahaha, forget it, I’m tired, just destroy it, that’s it… Why doesn’t this damn game end yet!

What? The game starts now?

What made the Olympiacos players despair was that shortly after the start of the game, Chelsea pressed forward and put them under great pressure.

Less than two minutes into the game, Lampard lofted the ball and passed it to John Terry, who dived to head the ball into the goal.

The angle was a bit off and the ball didn't go in. Olympiacos goalkeeper Nikopolidis breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the ball go wide: Very good, very good, that's it, he has found the feeling of playing against Chelsea in the last game.

A minute later, Lampard quickly took a free kick in the frontcourt. Drogba broke into the penalty area, received the ball and passed it to the middle. Cole shot diagonally from 10 yards away from the goal. The ball hit the right post and bounced out.

Goalkeeper Nikopolidis, who was about to save the ball, curled his lips even more: Thank you, great Karaiskakis Stadium, your light illuminates our confused hearts, Amen~

In the 6th minute after the opening, Lampard made a cross from the left, the football jumped high, Ballack headed the ball in front of the penalty area, the football went into the net with a crisp sound, and Olympiacos goalkeeper Nikopolidis' eyes turned red: Where is your light at the Karaiskakis Stadium? Just for such a short time? Who the hell is going to use this?

Endrit, standing in front of the door, felt a little lonely.

When his Chelsea teammates were no longer making mistakes, it became difficult for Olympiacos players to break through the defense and carry the ball to him, the goalkeeper who stayed behind.

Not long after the ball reaches the feet of Olympiacos players, Chelsea will intercept it and launch an attack directly from the frontcourt.

In the 25th minute after the opening, Chelsea extended the lead. Makelele and John Terry headed the ball into the right side of the penalty area. Ballack received the ball and shot at a small angle.

Before goalkeeper Nicopolidis could even breathe a sigh of relief after twisting his body to push the ball out of the goal, Lampard stepped forward and shot into the empty net!

Chelsea 2:0 Olympiacos!

There was jubilation in the stands, and as the camera swept across, Capello, who was sitting among them with a serious face, stood out.

"Coach Capello came to watch Endrit in this game, right? No wonder he is so frustrated. Up to now, Olympiacos has not given Endrit a chance to perform!"

After the game resumed, Chelsea launched three more attacks on the Olympiacos goal, but ultimately failed and failed to expand the score.

Chelsea entered the second half with a score of 2:0.

Three minutes into the second half, that is, in the 48th minute, Lampard took a corner kick from the left. Carvalho headed the ball to Kalou, who scored from close range.

Olympiacos' first shot came in the 61st minute of the game. This shot was not from the opposing forward who broke into the penalty area and shot, but from Makelele who had just attacked and committed a foul in front of the penalty area, and was awarded a free kick by the referee.

Belushi, who came on as a substitute, took a deep breath and kicked the football hard. The football turned in the air and flew into Endrit's arms.

This was the only time Endrit passed the ball in the entire game. In the remaining time, Olympiacos failed to break into the penalty area and shoot - they didn't even have a long shot in the half!

“Beep, beep…”

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the Olympiacos players breathed a sigh of relief: Finally, it's over!

"Let us congratulate Chelsea for their 3-0 win and advancement to the quarterfinals!"

"In this game, Chelsea's two core players scored together. There was no problem between them that the media was worried about. They are Chelsea's new hope!"

[Mourinho's divine move!] The dual-core coordination problem has been solved, and Chelsea has ushered in an epic strengthening! 】

Capello threw the newspaper aside with a gloomy face, feeling angry in his heart: Which eyes of these newspapers could tell that Mourinho solved the dual-core problem in the just-concluded Champions League match? Isn't that just playing football normally? It was a surprise that there were so many mistakes in the first leg. This game was a normal performance. Even if the goalkeeper in this game was not Endrit, the game would have ended with a score of 3:0!

But a little bit can be seen from the game against West Ham United... Damn, why are Chelsea's opponents worse than the other? How can he learn from them, cough cough cough, how can he refer to them?

…

To: Olympiacos

I hope that you can become a real dark horse next time you come to the Champions League, so that I can see your growth and strength.

——Hate comes from Capello
