Chapter 285 Classic Free Kick Cooperation
While dribbling the ball, Arkin Robben was knocked to the ground by the opponent's defender Ignasievich, and the referee awarded Chelsea a free kick.
The ball was not in a good position, and the Blues fans in the stands did not expect much from it, nor did Chelsea's teammates. On the contrary, CSKA Moscow's players were very nervous, as they were afraid that Chelsea would make a free kick or something, thus finding a chance to score.
Wang Li didn't care about what other people thought. He just walked to Frank Lampard.
The ball was a bit far from the goal, and the angle was not good, so it was indeed difficult to get the ball over the wall and into the goal.
But at this time, Wang Li suddenly had a brilliant idea.
Wang Li told Lampard about this idea, wanting him to cooperate with him in a free kick.
At this time, Chelsea's teammates saw that Lampard's face suddenly became a little aggrieved. After confirming that Wang Li's footwork was very accurate, he reluctantly walked towards the opponent's human wall.
So Wang Li stood in front of the ball.
Frank Lampard didn't do anything earth-shattering. He just turned his head to look at the position of the football and the goal, made a gesture, and then inserted into the wall of people formed by CSKA Moscow.
Lampard ignored the strange looks from the CSKA Moscow players next to him. He just slowly adjusted his position in the middle of the wall, and did not try too hard to squeeze in, which even disappointed the opposing players who were ready to resist. However, the sudden appearance of a blue player among the white players still made the opponent a little nervous. However, in this position, the possibility of assisting in scoring a goal was too low, so they relaxed a little.
At this time, Chelsea's teammates all felt that they knew the reason why Lampard changed his expression. Standing in the human wall, it would be difficult to have the opportunity to shoot, which was equivalent to losing an opportunity, which was indeed a pity.
But that’s okay, isn’t it?
In the end, everyone dispersed and stood near the penalty area, ready to respond to emergencies at any time and look for opportunities to score goals.
Seeing the black-haired boy standing in front of the ball on the field, the mood of the Blues fans in the audience suddenly changed from indifference to anticipation.
Although Frank Lampard is also very popular, after all, his number of goals is not that high. Whether it is his skills or creativity, it is within the range of ordinary people. If he takes a free kick, the fans really won't feel anything. Wang Li is just the opposite. His creativity is well known. This black-haired boy always brings hope and expectations to the fans. Therefore, all Chelsea supporters in the stadium, including head coach Mourinho, are looking forward to the next shot.
.
On the court, Wang Li stood in front of the ball, calmly looking at Lampard who was inserted into the opponent's wall, calming his mind and looking at the direction of the opponent's goal. However, Lampard didn't think so. He felt that the black-haired boy was looking at him, and even had a smirk on his face, which made him feel even more uneasy.
Finally, the referee blew a light whistle, indicating that it was time for a free throw.
Wang Li jumped a few times on the spot, looked up at the direction of the goal, swung his right foot, and was about to hit the football.
At this moment, under the puzzled gazes of all the fans in the stadium, a strange thing suddenly happened in the human wall: Frank Lampard, who was in the human wall, suddenly squatted down and held his head with his hands, and perhaps because he was too nervous, he even fell flat on the grass.
His movements were so strange and funny that even the CSKA Moscow players laughed. It was rare to see a big star of Frank Lampard's level in such an embarrassed state.
At this moment, even the big screen in the stadium showed Lampard. It is estimated that this video will be very popular after the game. But the next moment, the fans' attention immediately shifted to the goal.
Because on the big screen, a flash of white light suddenly flashed across Lampard's embarrassed figure, which even made many fans unable to see clearly what it was! !
The white light appeared with a 'swish' sound and disappeared with a 'swish' sound. Even the minds of the CSKA Moscow players who were forming the human wall were stunned for a moment.
Then they heard a huge cheer coming from all directions!!
The Moscow Central players reacted quickly and immediately turned to look at their own goal, just in time to see goalkeeper Igor Achinfev fall to the ground after trying to catch the ball, while the football had already hit the net, creating a wave of ripples.
"The ball...goes in!! The ball goes in!! The ball goes in!!" The commentator of the game, Creed Pesvak, did not expect that the ball would go in. He was still recalling Lampard's actions, but he immediately saw that the ball had reached the opponent's goal.
"gooooooooooooooal!!! Chelsea scored again, this time it was Alan again, a free kick, oh my god, this is his second goal of the game!!"
Now, Chelsea players finally understand why Lampard looked so painful.
In fact, this kind of free kick is not uncommon, but if the shooter becomes Wang Li, it will be a disaster. Think about the power of his long shots. If he makes a mistake and the ball hits someone, the consequences will be unimaginable. At least they don't want to try it.
It was no wonder that Lampard had made such an awkward move just now. He was definitely very nervous. However, although most of the players felt a little sympathetic in their hearts, they had a funny expression on their faces. Lampard's dog-eating-shit move just now was really a classic! !
When Wang Li saw the football fly into the goal, he clenched his fist and waved it vigorously. Then he ran over and grabbed Lampard who was still lying on the ground and said, "Frank, what are you doing?"
"Oh my god? The ball went in?" Lampard stood up in a daze, turned his head to look at the opponent's goal, and then reacted. He looked at Wang Li with resentment and said, "Next time if there is such cooperation, don't call me. This is terrible!"
Since the beginning of this season, Lampard has often imagined Wang Li's football hitting someone else. But now, the situation has changed and it is his turn to bear the risk of being kicked. It is really a tit-for-tat. He hummed in fear again, thought for a while, and said, "Also, this ball should be counted as mine, at least the goal bonus should be mine. I just risked my life!"
!”
Wang Li shook his head and said word by word: "Don't even think about it, I scored this goal!!"
“But it was me who took the risk.”
Wang Li turned and walked towards his own half, saying, "Anyway, I kicked the ball in. You didn't touch the ball from beginning to end!"
Lampard hurriedly caught up, grabbed his shoulder and said, "You are not short of money. The club is going to sign a big contract with you."
"But a little money is still money. You know how much money Anne spends..."
"It is said that Sir Edward has two companies. After you marry the little princess, won't they all be yours?"
"That's later. I'm still very poor now."
"…You are so stingy!"
………Just as Wang Li and Lampard were bickering, the commentator Creed was still intoxicated by the goal just now, "3:1, Allen's kick helped Chelsea expand their lead. However, half of the credit for this kick should be attributed to Frank. Although he... was a little... embarrassed, he dodged in time. We are very happy to see the Chelsea players cooperate so well..."
The Blues fans in the audience also cheered loudly. The goal came too quickly. Just when CSKA Moscow equalized the score, they were still worried about the team's condition, but in the blink of an eye, Chelsea scored two goals in a row. It was really enjoyable.
“Well done!!”
"Chelsea!! Chelsea!!"
"Alan, come on, score another one!!"
...The audience stands were filled with such cheers and encouragement, bringing the atmosphere at Stamford Bridge to a new climax.
On the field, the players of CSKA Moscow were silent. They didn't know how to play next. It was not easy to score two goals at Stamford Bridge. At this time, they could only hope that the head coach would have some new tactical arrangements during the halftime break.
………After the game resumed, Chelsea, who had scored two goals in a row, did not stop and continued to attack aggressively.
When playing against a team like CSKA Moscow, winning is not the goal, but scoring more goals is what the players aspire to and what the fans hope for.
The first half is not over yet, why not score a few more goals? 4, 5, 6... Who would complain about too many goals?
Therefore, at the end of the first half, Chelsea's offensive intensity did not decrease, but increased. As a result, CSKA Moscow's tendency to counterattack was directly suppressed. At this time, even Chelsea's captain John Terry ran to the frontcourt to look for opportunities. He wished he could score a goal and be happy.
And the poor CSKA Moscow team, which flew from faraway Russia across the entire European continent, ended up in such a game where they were beaten. They could only surround their own goal, like a weak girl who had taken off all her clothes, waiting for Chelsea's conquests one after another.
Fortunately, although Chelsea's attack was fierce, it was not easy for them to break the goal in a short time facing CSKA Moscow who were ready to defend until halftime.
In the first minute of stoppage time, Wang Li's long-range shot posed a great threat to CSKA Moscow. The ball was shot from about 35 meters away from the goal. Although goalkeeper Achinfev caught the ball, it almost slipped out of his hands. He shouted in his heart again: "Ferocious beast!"
!”
CSKA Moscow goalkeeper Igor Achinfev is a representative of the new generation of young goalkeepers in Russia. When he just turned 17 last year, he had already established himself in CSKA Moscow and became the team's main goalkeeper. Russians have always been considered the birthplace of goalkeepers, and Igor Achinfev is even considered to be the second Dasayev. Some people even compare him with the more famous Yashin.
And now, this goalkeeper who had been having a smooth sailing encountered the first setback in his life. The game was only half over, but he felt his hands were numb. The black-haired boy on the other side took a total of 5 shots in the first half, scored 2 goals, and 4 of them were touched by Achinfev's hands. Perhaps this shows his strength as a goalkeeper, but this strength also brought him some misfortune.
'Should I pretend to be sick and leave the field in the second half, and let Hinkle come on? ' Igor Achinfev thought to himself.
Finally, with the referee's whistle, the long and tormented time was over for CSKA Moscow and they could finally relax for a while. As for how to play in the second half, that would be a matter for 15 minutes later.
Amid the cheers of the Blues fans, Chelsea players laughed and talked, walking towards the locker room arm in arm. Looking at the backs of those blue players, the players of CSKA Moscow felt a little sad.
Is the gap between the two teams really so big that the opponent even beat us without any chance of fighting back?
All CSKA Moscow players were feeling bad. As a top team in the Russian Premier League, these players were more or less arrogant. Even though they knew there was some gap between them and the top teams in the top five European leagues, they could at least participate in the Champions League or UEFA Cup every year. But in this match, the strength displayed by Chelsea in the first half made them completely lose confidence, especially the black-haired boy No. 21 on the opponent's side - was that really a normal football player?
If we tell them now that Wang Li is a transformed beast, many people are likely to believe it. Not to mention his dazzling skills, his powerful yet extremely accurate long-range shots alone are enough to allow him to gain a foothold in the Premier League.
Besides, shouldn't a power player like him be physically fit? But why does he have such superb skills?
In the hearts of CSKA Moscow players, Wang Li is now the embodiment of harmony and contradiction.
This kind of player is really invincible! !
Although they had a lot of thoughts in their minds, they still had to stand up and slowly walk towards the locker room. Now head coach Gazzaev was the person they placed all their hopes on. They expected the Russian tactical master to find some good way to deal with Chelsea's attack.
………The CSKA Moscow players had good ideas, but in reality, did Gazzaev have any good tactical response?
For a head coach, no matter how fantastic the tactics are, they all have to be executed by the players. However, after watching the first half of the game, almost everyone knew that the gap in strength between the two teams was too big.
Moreover, the team is now two goals behind. If they want to win, they can only attack, attack and score goals. However, if they do this, there will definitely be loopholes in the team's defense line, and then the opponent will have another chance.
In this situation, Gazaev was helpless, but his heart was still filled with anger.
"Tell me, what did you do in the first half!?"
When all the players returned to the locker room, Gazaev said angrily, "Don't blame the opponent for being too strong. In fact, our strength is not much weaker than theirs. But look at your performance in the first half. How many shots did you make? How many turnovers did you make? I suspect that you put all your energy on the woman. Three people can't defend against the opponent's oriental boy.
! !? "
Head coach Gazzaev's words made the players in the locker room lower their heads and listen silently.
However, they are not without their own ideas. They even feel that this matter cannot be entirely blamed on them. You know, the opponent is Chelsea, which has scored 40 goals in 10 Premier League games, especially the opponent's No. 21. Is he just an ordinary oriental boy?
"No, it's a monster!" Igor Achinfev thought.
Gazzaev looked at the expressions of the players and did not refute anything. He also knew the gap between the two teams. In this situation, scolding alone would be of no use if he wanted to win the game.
"Our focus in the second half is still attack! Attack! Attack again!!"
After saying that, the Russian coach turned and said with confidence: "Our strength is not much worse than theirs. The reason why the first half turned out like this is largely because we didn't play well. As long as we keep attacking, we can score more goals like the first goal. Chelsea's defense is not good. They are a Premier League team, not AC Milan. As long as we score more goals than them, we will have a chance to win!"
"…Russian traditions cannot be discarded. We will not bow to difficulties. Look at the No. 21 kid on the other side. He is only 17 and a half years old, even half a year younger than Igor. Are you afraid of this oriental kid? If so, when you return to Russia, how many fans will laugh at you? Even the president will say: CSKA Moscow has abandoned the tradition of the Red Army! You are a group of cowards who bow your heads easily!"
Gazzaev was indeed good at creating momentum. His confident expression, coupled with a few words of encouragement, made these Nordic men excited. They couldn't wait to get on the court and compete with Chelsea players to see who was better.
Of course, Gazaev was not entirely motivational, he also talked about some tactical arrangements for the second half, but the overall point was attack, attack!!
Whether it is the beginning or the end, the offense must be maintained.
……On the other hand, Chelsea’s locker room was filled with laughter.
Leading by two goals in the first half made everyone feel relaxed. At Stamford Bridge, even teams like Real Madrid and AC Milan did not dare to equalize the score under such circumstances, let alone CSKA Moscow?
"Frank, that fall you had was truly epic. You deserve an Oscar!"
In the locker room, Claude Makelele, who usually doesn't like to talk, also joked that the Frenchman had never seen Lampard in such a miserable state at Chelsea.
Makelele's words immediately triggered laughter in the locker room. They thought of Lampard's action in the first half and found it funny.
The person involved, the upright Lampard, just smiled and didn't say anything more. However, he remembered the names of those teammates who mocked him deeply in his heart. If he has the chance in the future, he will never let these people go - it would be best to let them experience the feeling at that time.
"Wait, Alan likes money so much, I will bribe him and make him make a mistake on purpose..." Lampard thought about the scene in his mind, his expression did not change, but he was secretly worried in his heart...
