Chapter 266: Old man, you can’t do it anymore!
The second half of the game started with Crespo's volley.
Lampard sent a curved ball from the right, and Crespo volleyed the ball in front of the small penalty area, but this close shot was a little too high, and the Argentine striker regretted it so much.
From the very beginning, Chelsea relied on its numerical advantage to launch a fierce attack on Valencia.
The White Wizard Veron sent an overhead pass with his first touch, trying to hit the ball directly behind Crespo.
But Valencia's defense coordinated well and moved forward one step ahead, and Crespo was offside! Chelsea played smoothly at the beginning of the second half, controlled the situation, tasted the sweetness, and tried to launch attacks again and again.
Valencia was one man less on the field and was forced to defend more defensively.
Marchena replaced Rufete, and Vicente often retreated to protect the midfield flanks, leaving Su Dong basically alone in Valencia's frontcourt, standing alone at the front.
The tall and strong man is like a lighthouse, pointing the way for his teammates in Valencia!
As soon as they got the ball, their first reaction was to kick towards Su Dong.
Desailly was still talking a lot of trash, trying to interfere with Su Dong.
This guy's little thoughts are obvious. After Sissoko was sent off with a red card, Valencia will be helpless as long as they can deal with Su Dong.
But what surprised him was that Su Dong, who almost started a fight out of anger in the first half, became much calmer in the second half. Facing his sarcasm and ridicule, Su Dong ignored them all.
I couldn't stand it any longer, so I said to him disgustedly, "Can you please stop hanging around in front of me?"
"No, my job is to keep an eye on you!"
Su Dong snorted twice, "You know what? Your face really looks like a Shakespearean tragedy. I cry every time I see it!"
Desailly didn't react at first and thought Su Dong was praising his artistic looks, but after thinking about it, he realized that was not right.
"You swear, kid!"
"Did I scold you?" Su Dong asked with a sneer, "Tell me, which words did I scold you in?"
Desailly was speechless.
"How about I curse you?"
Before Desailly could react, Su Dong had already continued.
"Shakespeare said, I want to spit on you, but I'm afraid of tainting my spit!"
After saying that, Su Dong laughed twice, turned around and left.
Desailly glared at Su Dong from behind, his chest filled with anger.
This bastard curses without using any curse words!
Fuck, why are you pretending to be cultured?
…………

After attacking for ten minutes, they still couldn't break through Valencia's goal.
Ranieri on the sidelines was getting a little restless.
Chelsea now has one more player than their opponent and has an overwhelming advantage on the field. If they can't score an away goal, how can they leave the Mestalla Stadium with dignity? Besides, if they really go back like this, the second round of the Stamford Bridge battle will be very disadvantageous to Chelsea.
It's not only about skills and tactics, but also about the morale of the team.
With this in mind, Ranieri did not hesitate any longer and immediately made a second substitution.
Hasselbaink replaces Melchiot.
At this time, Chelsea's three forwards were all on the field and pushed to the front line.
Chelsea's formation was immediately adjusted from 4-4-2 to 4-3-3, with Parker retreating to the right.
…
As soon as Hasselbaink came on the field, Benítez walked to the sidelines and called out to the Valencia players, signaling them to hold their ground and defend their own half.
"They are getting anxious now!" Benítez said very confidently.
Yestdan also agreed that this is human nature.
With one more person on the field, the team has an overwhelming advantage. In this situation, if Ranieri does not dare to take the initiative, he will definitely be drowned in the saliva of his players, management and fans.
Ever since Veron came on the pitch, Ranieri had already made his decision and there was only one way to go.
So it was natural for Hasselbaink to come on the field.
For Valencia, the biggest test is whether they can defend.
As long as we can hold on, the rest depends on Su Dong!
…………
…………
Shortly after Hasselbaink came on the pitch, the two sides on the field clashed again.
Parker had a conflict with Baraha during a counter-steal.
After Baraja fell to the ground, he kicked the ball between his legs. Parker chased after him to grab the ball and kicked Baraja's legs twice in a row. The Valencia midfielder was also angry and kicked Parker directly, knocking the Chelsea player to the ground.
After getting up, Baraha was still cursing and almost rushed over to beat him up.
"Just try to grab the ball, he kept kicking my legs!" Baraha made a tearful accusation to the referee who was running over.
The referee showed a yellow card to Baraja and also severely warned Parker who was lying on the ground, hugging his legs and howling.
"Be careful!" Before leaving, Baraha said harshly to Parker.
The players on both sides have already shown a lot of tension, the field is filled with smoke, and the situation is becoming more and more tense.
Both Benítez and Ranieri kept calling on the players to pay attention.
Makelele's yellow card will cause him to miss the second round of the game. If another key player is absent, it will be a big loss for Chelsea.
…
Soon after Hasselbaink came on the pitch he created his first threat.
Bridge's cross from the left bypassed the middle and went straight to the back point.
Hasselbaink headed the ball from the edge of the small penalty area, but it went slightly wide of the post.
As the three forwards pressed forward together, Chelsea's overall formation also pressed forward.
There is no doubt that they now have only one idea in their minds, that is to use the advantage of numbers to secure victory away from home!
The Chinese have a very true saying: If you want to get something, you must first give it.
If God wants to destroy someone, he must first make him crazy.
When Chelsea unconsciously and compulsively continued to invest manpower on the offensive end, they did not realize that the risks on the defensive end were also increasing, and Valencia was also brewing opportunities for counterattacks again and again.
The premise is that Valencia can defend against Chelsea's fierce attack.
…
Su Dong has been waiting! Waiting bitterly!
In the 69th minute, Ranieri made the third and final substitution of the game.
Tall German central defender Robert Huth came on to replace Parker.
After Huth came on, Chelsea's formation changed from 4-3-3 to 3-4-3. Bridge moved forward from the left back position to the left forward position in the frontcourt. Veron returned to the familiar center and the back line adopted three central defenders.
This shows a very clear signal that Ranieri is determined to beat his opponent away from home!
But just four minutes later, the opportunity that Su Dong had been waiting for finally appeared! And it was exposed from Robert Huth's side.
When Valencia successfully intercepted the ball, he quickly made a long pass and accurately came to the frontcourt to find Su Dong.
Su Dong was just past the center line, on the left side, and used his body to block Robert Huth. Facing the long pass, he kicked the ball directly to the left without stopping.
Vincent was running forward along the left sideline at the fastest speed. He stopped Su Dong's lob pass just before it went out of bounds, and then quickly chased after it, sending a behind-the-back pass with his left foot into the penalty area behind the defense line.
After Su Dong made the pass, he quickly turned around, exerted force with his legs, quickly shook off Huth, and rushed into the penalty area in front like lightning.
Desailly was at the back, aware of the danger from Su Dong, and went all the way back to defend.
At the front of the penalty area, Su Dong and Desailly arrived at the same time, but Su Dong ignored Desailly who was so close to him, and ran straight into him without slowing down.
Their shoulders collided heavily.
At this moment, Desailly seemed to have hit a mountain, and the rebound force almost made him lose his balance.
His African ancestry has given him strong physical fitness since his debut. Even when facing the strongest opponents, he rarely suffers physical losses. But unexpectedly, he failed to squeeze away this 19-year-old boy today.
As soon as Desailly stabilized himself, he chased after him again.
At this time, Su Dong had already caught up with the ball.
As soon as he stopped, Desailly rushed over and Su Dong hit him hard again.
This time, Su Dong pushed Desailly away, dribbled the ball forward, and without thinking twice, he shot with his left foot and let out a roar.
The ball, filled with endless anger, was kicked into the upper left corner of Chelsea's goal by Su Dong.
Desailly, who was completely knocked away by Su Dong, lost his balance while retreating, fell backwards and sat on the grass.
Then he heard a crisp whistle from the referee.
foul!
This brat committed a foul!
But the referee seemed not to hear Desailly's cry in his heart, and he directly awarded the goal! One to zero!
Su Dong clenched his fists and roared again.
All the Valencia fans in the stadium were shouting and cheering wildly.
The players roared one after another, venting their inner excitement and the pleasure of revenge!
Su Dong turned around and spread his hands helplessly towards Desailly who was lying on the ground. He shook his head with a sneer and waved his right index finger, as if to say: Old man, you can't do it anymore!
Desailly was so angry that he jumped up from the grass, but was stopped by Terry beside him.
"Calm down! Calm down!" Terry warned loudly.
Su Dong didn't care at all, as if he didn't take Desailly seriously at all. He turned around and celebrated the goal with his teammates who were chasing him.
Everyone, including goalkeeper Cañizares, ran to the Chelsea penalty area to celebrate the goal with Su Dong, while the Chelsea players could only watch helplessly.
One to zero!
Valencia, fighting with ten men, broke the deadlock on the field!
Even Benítez on the sidelines was dancing with excitement, not to mention the fans at the scene.
The entire Mestalla Stadium seemed to have turned into an angry ocean. The shouts and cheers of the fans gathered into turbulent waves, constantly hitting everyone in the stadium.
At the same time, it is also telling all the Chelsea people who have come from afar.
This is the Mestalla Stadium in Valencia! Not just anyone can act recklessly in this stadium!
Because we have a god of war here! His name is Su Dong!
