Chapter 192 Right Attack Storm (1)

Selhurst Park, home of Crystal Palace in London, England.

"Didier, score!"

"Alan, come on!"

"Come on, let them know how powerful Chelsea is!"

...Chelsea fans in the audience cheered loudly, and the sound of cheering and encouragement was endless. This not only expressed their thoughts but also explained their excitement. Given the current situation on the green field, they had every reason to do so.

Although Chelsea has not scored a goal so far, the ball has been flying in and out of the opponent's penalty area, leaving Crystal Palace almost powerless to fight back. Repeated shots, shouts, and wonderful performances have made the fans' hearts soar. Yes, for all Chelsea supporters, one more goal would make it even more perfect!

In this derby, starting from the 15th minute, Chelsea players seemed to have found their form. The attack and penetration brought by the continuous passes in the front court put the Crystal Palace goal in danger. Mr. Dawe, the coach of the Crystal Palace team, stood anxiously on the sidelines, staring at the offensive and defensive battles on the field, but he was extremely anxious, but he had no good solution. The gap between the two teams was too big.

During this period, Wang Li also completed two long shots outside the penalty area, but it seemed that he was affected by something and both shots failed to hit the goal frame. Crystal Palace defenders Popovich and Hudson still stuck to Wang Li, although they didn't think it would have any effect.

In fact, they were deceived by Wang Li's performance.

It is impossible that Daowei's tactics were completely ineffective. Although Wang Li was able to receive more passes with his Lingbo Weibu body movement, it was by no means to say that Popovich and Hudson's defense on him was useless. If it weren't for these two players sticking to him all the time, Wang Li wouldn't have been able to perform just this much in the past 20 minutes of the first half!

In other words, if Dawes had not arranged this "shameful" defensive method, Crystal Palace might have lost the ball long ago!

Now, it seems that Chelsea has a great advantage on the field, but the goal is still not coming.

In the 25th minute of the game, Lampard got the ball in the center circle and kicked it to Wang Li next to him again. Wang Li got the ball, did several bicycle kicks in a row, dribbled past Hudson, and quickly moved from the right side to the bottom line. Popovich followed from the side and wanted to stretch his foot to steal the ball near the bottom line, but Wang Li used his right foot to pull the ball back from behind his left foot, then twisted his body to catch up with the ball and kicked it into the small penalty area.

Defender Ricardo Carvalho, who had just followed his mentor to join Chelsea from Porto, also assisted the team into the penalty area this time. In the dense crowd, he was the first to catch Wang Li's through ball from the right side of the penalty area. He lightly touched the ball with his right foot, and the ball changed direction and rushed towards the goal.

This time, Crystal Palace's central defender, Emerson Orlando Boyce, a Barbadian player who joined Crystal Palace on a free transfer in August, made a great contribution to the team: the black player blocked the right corner of the goal with his body, making the coordinated shot by Wang Li and Carvalho useless because the angle of the goal was completely blocked!

The result was obvious. The ball hit Boyce and bounced out of the penalty area, and was cleared by Hudson to the front court. However, the suspenseful plot of the game was not interrupted. Hudson's unintentional clearance just happened to kick the ball to the feet of Rodriguez, the only "idle man" of the Crystal Palace team!

As the absolute main striker of the Crystal Palace team, although Rodriguez's strength cannot be compared with the super strikers of the top clubs, he can also be said to be a powerful star. After he got the ball, he didn't think about it, and he used all his strength to move the ball towards the Chelsea goal.

There was a cry of surprise from the audience. Chelsea's attack just now was a little forward. Defenders Carvalho and Bridge even advanced to the opponent's penalty area. At this time, there were only Makelele and Huth in the backcourt. Moreover, Makelele was still a little to the right of the penalty area, a little farther away from Roderick's position.

It has to be said that in terms of personal ability, the level of those world-famous superstars is unquestionable, but in terms of seizing scoring opportunities, perhaps the main strikers of such small teams will be better, because their scoring opportunities are very few. If they want to stand out in the fiercely competitive Premier League, they must cherish every hard-won opportunity. This may be the motivation under pressure.

Rodrić changed direction twice with the ball, and although he did not dribble past Huth, he also protected the ball on his left side, making it difficult for Huth to steal the ball while running. After entering the penalty area, goalkeeper Cech was about to attack, but Rodrić kicked the ball into the left corner of the goal, causing a wave of waves in the net!

After Chelsea's crazy attack for more than ten minutes, Crystal Palace scored the first goal, one to zero, and took the lead at home.

Suddenly, Selhurst Park was plunged into a carnival. Crystal Palace fans were almost suffocated for a full thirty minutes. They watched helplessly as their players were destroyed by their opponents again and again, but they were powerless to do anything. In a derby battle, Dawes lined up this formation, which made them have no confidence to cheer for the home team.

But now, the team scored the first goal! What a surprise!

It seemed that the Crystal Palace fans wanted to vent all their frustration and turned all their excitement into shouting. In this wave, the "boo" of Chelsea fans seemed so pale and powerless.

This is how it is on the football field. A good-looking field does not necessarily mean victory. The Crystal Palace team proved this once again with their performance. Even Dawe on the sidelines could not believe that his team had scored a goal. After a long while, he finally reacted and excitedly focused his energy on a mineral water bottle at his feet, venting his anger by spitting out an English curse.

Wang Li shook his head helplessly. This game was really weird. Chelsea seemed to have no effect no matter how they played, and the opponent scored a goal with just a counterattack. His straight pass just now was aimed at Carvalho, but it still failed to go in. On the right side of the penalty area, he saw clearly that Boyce was squeezed to the right post. This was really shit luck.

At this time, Bridget slowly walked over and said, "This is weird. They scored first."

Wang Li shrugged and said, "Don't think too much. The other team is ahead anyway. The real thing is to try to score a goal to tie the score. The game has just begun."

Bridge looked at the Crystal Palace players who were celebrating, turned around, raised his hand and clapped hands with Wang Li, "Come on, Alan, score a few goals in a row and let them know how powerful you are!"

"……come on!……"

The commentator kept shouting Roderick's name excitedly, and it took a long time before he calmed down. "Before the game, many people were not optimistic about Crystal Palace. At the beginning of the game, they also had a lot of words about the tactical arrangements of the new coach Mr. Dawe. But now the team has used goals to prove the correctness of the coach's tactics. Perhaps we should look at this game with a normal mentality. Facing the star-studded Chelsea team, Dawe's choice was indeed wise. At least the score on the field has proved this point now."

"And Chelsea's youngster Alan Wang has been boasting that Chelsea will definitely be the winner and that he will score in the game. So, where will his goal be? As a newcomer who has just shown his strength in the Premier League, he should perhaps be more rational."

After falling behind by one goal, Chelsea's attack became more fierce, and the commentator on the scene also shut his annoying stinky mouth and began to worry about the Crystal Palace team's goal. At this time, the scene of the game did not change because of the home team's lead. The ball was still passing near the Crystal Palace team's penalty area and was passed into the penalty area again and again, constantly torturing the hearts of the home team's fans, making them nervous again after just relaxing.

During this period, in order to get rid of the entanglement of Popovich and Hudson, Wang Li stepped back and launched an attack from the right. With his wonderful footwork and unparalleled speed, he launched wave after wave of attacks on the right. The wonderful scene made Chelsea fans give him all the good praise.

The speed was blazing and the technique was dazzling; this was the impression that Wang Li's dribbling during this period left on the fans.

Even James Richardson, the anchor of Setanta Sports Channel, couldn't help but praise him: "Many people are puzzled when they learn that fans call Allen Wang the 'Dancing Master' because they have never seen Allen dribbling the ball. And now on the court, Allen is proving the fans' judgment is correct with his performances time and time again."

"Last season, many managers called him a 'juggling player', but I think that Allen is more mature now than last season, and his 'juggling' has improved a lot. For example, now, I can't see what he does with his feet when he dribbles the ball, but the defenders of Crystal Palace are easily shaken off again and again, which has proved his usefulness."

In the 36th minute of the game, Wang Li took the ball again and moved forward from the right side. He and Lampard made two consecutive passes and easily passed two defenders to reach the baseline again. Granville ran over to make up for the defense. Wang Li's lucky shadowless kick made the opponent have no idea where the ball was. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Li did not choose to pass it straight, but passed Granville and continued to move towards the penalty area.

There were a lot of people in the penalty area, and the opposing defensive players were almost all gathered there. After passing Granville, Wang Li had no chance to shoot at all. He could only use dazzling feints to protect the safety of the football under his feet. At this time, Popovich and Granville also followed from behind, and Butterfield was in front. In other words, in a small space, he was trapped by three defenders of the Crystal Palace team!

At this time, almost everyone in the stadium thought that Wang Li must have lost the ball this time. Even Mourinho on the bench covered his face as if he couldn't bear to watch it any longer. His Chelsea teammates also thought that Wang Li was a bit "solo" this time and he should have passed the ball earlier.

However, how could Wang Li, who was calm and composed, make such a low-level mistake? Of course, he did it on purpose.

Just when Granville stretched out his foot again to block the ball, Wang Li turned his back, pulled with his right foot, and kicked hard with the back of his left heel. The ball went straight through between Granville's legs and rolled into the small penalty area at a very fast speed!

At this time, because Wang Li himself attracted most of the defensive pressure from the Crystal Palace team, Drogba was only surrounded by one defender. However, he had just felt that Wang Li was going to lose the ball, so he just stood there in a daze, not realizing that the ball was rolling towards him.

But the next moment, the ball hit his feet directly and bounced into the goal... "Beep..." The referee's whistle drew everyone's attention back. The football field was so ever-changing. The black-haired boy on the field was about to lose the ball in the previous moment, but the next moment, the ball was already in the Crystal Palace team's goal.

“goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!!!!!!” James Richardson, the anchor of Setanta Sports Channel, finally realized what happened - "The ball goes in! Chelsea has tied the score. Wait, let's take a look at the replay on the big screen... Is it... Drogba!!? Oh, that's right, it's Drogba. With a slight swing of his calf, he kicked the ball into the net!!"

This goal directly set off the anger of Chelsea fans! They used their actions to give the arrogant Crystal Palace fans a heavy blow in words, and cheered with all their might. Although the score was only tied now, after the first time, are they afraid that there won't be a second time?

At this time, the "ferocious" Drogba in front of the Crystal Palace goal was still touching the back of his head in confusion. The game was so chaotic that his teammates were almost all congratulating Wang Li, but it was clearly his goal.

However, in fact, he himself had no idea how the ball was scored... During the whole process, Crystal Palace goalkeeper Speroni seemed to be ignored. It was true that he did not play any role at all.

Anyway, Chelsea equalized the score just ten minutes later. The goal was scored by Drogba, the Ivorian "monster". But all the fans knew that the score was absolutely due to the black-haired boy on the field. From dribbling past the defense, to passing the ball and scoring the goal, he did almost everything by himself. Although there was some luck involved in the final goal, that was Drogba's fault.

Mourinho also sat on the bench in a daze. He could only understand what happened through the big screen playback. Because at the moment of the goal, he was covering his face and couldn't bear to watch any more... "It seems that I should have more faith in the players' strength." Looking at the cheering Chelsea players on the field, Mourinho thought secretly at this moment.
