Chapter 286 Judo Master Ono Saburo
During the half-time break, Chelsea head coach Mr. Jose Mourinho did not make any tactical arrangements. He simply replaced Claude Makelele with Alexis Smerkin. Obviously, the Portuguese also believed that the opponent could not threaten Chelsea's victory.
In fact, Mourinho originally planned to use a defensive counterattack tactic.
Only after taking the lead, it is safest to deploy 433 formation and change to 351 defensive counterattack tactics.
But looking at the excited expressions of the players in the locker room and listening to the laughter of the Blues fans throughout the Stamford Bridge, he gave up the idea. Victory is important, but playing an offensive football that satisfies everyone while winning is the best of both worlds.
Now, Chelsea is leading by 2 goals. Even if they fight an offensive battle with CSKA Moscow for the entire game, what does Chelsea have to be afraid of?
The team's forward line includes the 'Magic Beast' Didier Drogba who makes many teams shudder, Icelandic superstar Eidur Gudjohnsen, and this season's undisputed top scorer, one of England's two stars, dancing master Alan Wong, plus the steady Frank Lampard and Dutch rising star Arjen Robben on the wing. This kind of offensive ability is definitely the strongest in the Premier League, without a doubt, and even with a wider range, even Barcelona and Real Madrid's offensive ability may not be comparable to Chelsea's.
Chelsea, the name of England's attack
………
At the beginning of the second half, CSKA Moscow launched an extremely fierce attack towards Chelsea's penalty area. Chelsea players saw these Nordic men, as if they were injected with chicken blood, attacking with red eyes, and even made people feel a murderous aura coming towards them.
This scared the Chelsea players. Without any instructions from the head coach, they immediately stepped back and stabilized their defense.
Taking advantage of the opportunity at the beginning of the second half, CSKA Moscow launched a smooth attack.
On the wing, Carvalho dribbled the ball and made a straight pass near the center line. The ball landed at the feet of No. 15 Odia, who then kicked the ball directly to No. 18 Chirkov on the wing. After Chirkov got the ball, Chelsea defender William Gallas immediately pressed forward, but Chirkov suddenly pulled the ball, then suddenly pulled it forward, shook off Gallas and instantly made a straight pass to the penalty area. No. 17 striker Krasic received the ball and turned to shoot, but the ball missed and flew out of the bottom line from the left side of the post.
Although no goals were scored, it still excited the hundreds of Russian fans in the corner of the stands who came with the team. At least this attack showed them that the team had not given up hope.
"Forward, Red Army"
"Show us our strength and let these Londoners see it"
"One goal gives us a chance to win"
…
Although Russian fans were not as fanatical as English fans, the sudden cheers of hundreds of people still reached the ears of the Blues fans.
This is Stamford Bridge.
How can we allow these Russians to be so arrogant?
Soon, tens of thousands of Chelsea fans booed loudly, making the Russians' cheers seem like a chat when their cell phones suddenly lost signal. No sound could be heard at all. The entire stadium was filled with boos. Even if the Russians wanted to resist, they were powerless. They could only shut their mouths and silently curse that all these Londoners would become mute tomorrow.
However, this is of no use at all, just as God is not a relative of Gazaev, they are not relatives of God.
Wang Li stood on the field and looked around at the enthusiastic fans, feeling a warm feeling in his heart. In England, the reason why football is so popular and why so many super-rich people are willing to invest in it is mainly because of the football atmosphere in England. In such an atmosphere, being able to play football that satisfies so many people is also an achievement.
"It would be great if every game could be played at Stamford Bridge." Aleksandar Robben couldn't help but sigh beside him.
This season, Robben came to Chelsea from the Netherlands and had deep feelings. In the Netherlands, except for clubs like Ajax, other teams simply cannot have so many fans. But it is different in England. Even for a second-tier team, it is normal to have tens of thousands of fans watching the game. Their love for a club is even so popular that no matter what job they do or how the team performs, they will continue to support it.
Similarly, when playing at home, the fans will support you, but when playing away, you will face greater pressure.
Facing tens of thousands of fans booing, yelling and cursing, despite having participated in so many games, Arkin Robben couldn't say that he could remain calm and perform at his true level under such circumstances.
"Oh, I think so too, but it's impossible." Wang Li continued the conversation, patted Robben on the shoulder, turned around and ran to the front court.
………
Chelsea goalkeeper Thomas Clarke kicked the ball out with a big kick. The ball drew an arc in the air and fell towards the center circle.
Wang Li leaned closely against the opponent's No. 15, ready to head the ball.
CSKA Moscow’s No. 15 Chidi O’Diar is a Nigerian player who became famous in a Moldovan team - Sheriff Sheriff. This summer, the 21-year-old O’Diar joined the Russian powerhouse. He quickly proved his strength with his performance and won the main position.
However, O'Dea is only 1.5 meters tall, which is considered a "dwarf" even in CSKA Moscow, and he is not good at heading. But looking at the black-haired boy next to him who is not tall and even a little thin, O'Dea, who is very confident in his jumping ability, thinks he can definitely grab the ball.
However, there is often a big gap between imagination and reality. Just as the football was falling and O'Dea was about to jump, he saw the black-haired boy in front of him was already in the air. He calmly lowered his chest and the football stopped steadily at his feet.
At this moment, Odia was hit hard. It was obvious that the black-haired boy in front of him not only had superb technical skills, but his jumping ability was much stronger than his. At this moment, he was even stunned.
Wang Like didn't care what the black man behind him thought. After he stopped the ball, he changed direction and attacked towards CSKA Moscow's half without paying any attention to O'Diego who was still in a daze.
This made the head coach Gazaev curse in his heart. He couldn't help but walk to the sidelines and shouted: "Qidi, what are you doing? Hurry up and defend!"
This sentence was very effective. Hearing the head coach's shout, O'Diego shuddered immediately, then turned around and ran back. He had just obtained the main position, and he didn't want to sit on the bench again because of distraction.
Wang Li just passed the opponent's No. 15 with the ball, and met No. 2 Semboras and No. 11 Love in front of him. This did not surprise him. He was confident in his own strength. He knew that with his performance, it would be strange if the opponent's defensive players did not pay attention to him. Relatively speaking, this was the first time that CSKA Moscow played against Chelsea this season. It was normal for them to neglect his defense because they did not know the team. This also made him play heartily in the first half.
But now, it is a bit difficult to continue to play freely.
With two people in front and one person behind, this double-team gave Wang Li a headache.
However, at this time, he remembered what the head coach said to him before the game: "On the court, you should not only trust your own skills, but also trust your teammates. More exciting cooperation is not only beautiful, but also more threatening."
So, Wang Li passed the ball without hesitation.
This time it was Lampard who followed him from the wing. After pushing the ball to Lampard, Wang Li ignored the two men who came to double-team him and rushed forward with his light steps.
Lingbo Weibu is the truly invincible footwork.
CSKA Moscow saw the black-haired boy in front of them rushing towards them. So, the two of them prepared to intercept him with their bodies. Even if he passed the ball, they couldn't let him run around the court to create a chance to catch the ball. This was the only way to effectively prevent the boy from threatening their goal.
However, their wishful thinking failed. Before the two of them could react, Wang Li had already run past them. They only felt a gust of breeze blowing, but the black-haired boy in front of them was already behind them.
This is really unexpected.
However, the game did not give them time to react. Just as the two were about to turn around and chase the opponent, they heard the annoying Englishman in the broadcasting room yelling, "A beautiful two-on-two combination. Alan and Frank made the opponent at a loss. They were completely dumbfounded."
Of course, Sembras, who didn't understand English, didn't understand it, but that didn't stop him from knowing that this was definitely not a good thing to say, as could be seen from the cheers of those annoying blue-shirt fans in the audience.
Wang Li's footwork is very good. With the help of his flexible physique and powerful martial arts moves, he is confident that no one can have more delicate footwork than him. He can easily do the so-called "bull tail swing" and "Marseille turn", but he just disdains to use them. You know, those passing methods are all thought up by ordinary people, so there must be loopholes and they may be directly intercepted by others. However, with his own "shadowless kick" and extreme change of direction, he is confident that there is no more than one hand in the world who can intercept the football under his feet with only these two methods.
This is the reality gap.
Just now, Wang Li could have used this technique to force a breakthrough, but it was definitely not worth the effort. Although he was confident that he would not lose the ball, it would inevitably waste game time. How could it be as comfortable as passing the ball with two feet and then dribbling past the opponent?
After passing two opposing players, Wang Li had already dribbled the ball to the penalty area line. Alkin Robben on the right side had already shaken off the defensive player following him and went straight into the penalty area. Wang Li glanced over there, then raised his foot as if to pass the ball.
CSKA Moscow defender No. 4 Ignasievich was shocked when he saw Wang Li's action. He hurriedly ran towards Robben, but this time he was a little suspicious. Wang Li did not choose to pass the ball at all but just moved lightly to the right and directly got rid of Ignasievich.
Carvalho next to him secretly complained in his heart. Just now, the two of them were preparing to block at the penalty area line, but Ignasievich's pause made Carvalho the only one defending. Facing this dribbling master, what should he do?
Carvalho was not sure that he could steal the ball from the "dancing master".
But at this moment, the black-haired boy in front of him did not continue to break through as he imagined, but made a precise heel pass, and the ball fell to the feet of Edur Gudjohnsen who was following.
Gudjohnsen got the ball on the edge of the penalty area and took a powerful shot with his right foot.
This made Carvalho jump up on the spot. It was obvious that he wanted to carry forward the spirit of the Russian Red Army to block the path of the football with his body. But this time he fell into the trap. Gudjansen did not shoot hard at all, but passed the ball back to Wang Li with a poke.
"Chance," Creed shouted as he saw the ball rolling towards the Dance Master.
Seeing that Wang Li was about to stop the ball with his left foot, the defensive players were about to step forward to intercept, but at this time, Wang Li didn't touch the ball at all, but directly let it pass.
On the left front is Drogba, the unguarded monster in the penalty area
Faced with this hard-earned opportunity, the Ivorian gorilla grinned and did not waste the opportunity. He gently pushed the ball with his right foot, as if he was comforting his wife. However, the final result made the players of CSKA Moscow deeply depressed.
The football flew into the blind corner of the goal
"Drogba, the monster, Drogba, the goal is scored" Creed seemed a little intoxicated
"Good shot! This attack was so wonderful. In the penalty area of CSKA Moscow, Chelsea made a perfect combination of passes and made several wonderful passes in a row, leaving the opponent's defenders helpless. Finally, Mr. Warcraft sent the ball into the opponent's net with a light push. It was so wonderful. Now the score is 4:1. Chelsea is leading by 3 goals. We have reason to believe that the team can score more goals. You know, there are still 30 minutes before the end of the game."
The hundreds of CSKA Moscow fans who came with the team from Russia watched the ball roll into their own goal with some despair, and their hearts seemed to stop at this moment. If they still held a glimmer of hope when they were two goals behind, hoping that the team could equalize the score or even overtake in the second half, but now they are three goals behind, what hope is there?
At this moment, they were all staring at the black-haired boy on the field, thinking that even if this boy was transferred to CSKA Moscow, he would have no chance, right?
Indeed, this attack was more than just a wonderful cooperation. Drogba's kick also directly smashed the opponent's hope of equalizing the score into the bottom of the abyss. Just look at the despair in the eyes of the opponent's players.
In their own penalty area, facing so many defensive players, Chelsea was able to play such a wonderful combination. Is this really a Premier League team?
If we tell them now that this team is a disguised Brazil and Argentina, I'm afraid many people will believe it.
However, do those South American teams have such a ferocious playing spirit?
………
After scoring the goal, Mr. Warcraft was obviously very excited. This was his first goal in two months since he scored a hat trick against Aston Villa, which broke his goal drought.
Even though Drogba has been performing well at Chelsea and the head coach and fans have always believed in his ability, scoring goals is the key for a center forward. Now, this ball has allowed Mr. Beast to prove himself again, and perhaps goals will come in large numbers in the future.
The excited Drogba gave Wang Li a deep hug. He knew that the black-haired boy who had the ball just now could obviously stop the ball and shoot by himself, and with his strength, scoring a goal would be an easy thing, but he still gave it to himself.
"Thank you." Mr. Warcraft grinned and said.
At this time, Wang Li was still in Drogba's arms. He pushed the beast away disgustingly, half-crouched on the grass, pretended to vomit, and said, "Please don't hug me after scoring a goal. I'm more interested in women."
After hearing this, Drogba was stunned and touched the back of his head in a somewhat honest manner. However, in the eyes of others, his expression was not honest at all, and could even be called ferocious.
………
Although head coach Gazzaev on the sidelines kept yelling at the players to play well, facing the score of 4:1, it was obvious that the players had lost their confidence. With a three-goal lead, Mourinho also started making substitutions. He replaced John Terry with Celestian Babayaro and replaced Wang Li, who had performed outstandingly, with Geremi.
The subsequent game was uneventful, Chelsea still maintained its attack, but without Wang Li, the efficiency was obviously much lower.
In the 79th minute, goalkeeper Thomas Clarke kicked the ball. After several passes, winger Arjen Robben cut into the penalty area and suddenly shot from the edge of the penalty area. The goalkeeper Achinfev saved it, and Eidur Gudjohnsen made a follow-up shot to change the score to 5:1 for Chelsea.
In the 85th minute, CSKA Moscow kicked the ball from the left. After Aldonin kicked the ball out, midfielder Carvalho headed the ball, but Thomas was unable to rescue it and the ball flew into the net.
This was also a face-saving goal for CSKA Moscow.
………
After the game, the head coaches of both teams shook hands in a friendly manner. No matter what, both teams have a great relationship with Mr. Abramovich, and the coaches and players below will also appear to be very friendly on the surface. This of course has its advantages, that is, the two teams will at least not fight to the death.
No matter what the domestic and foreign media think, this Champions League group stage is finally over. Chelsea took first place in two games and is in very good shape.
The next day, the media was more concerned about another upcoming Champions League group match between Manchester United and Lyon.
However, the training life of Chelsea players was not peaceful either, because on the second day of the game, in order to train the players' confrontation ability, Mourinho specially invited a famous Japanese judo master, Nosaburo, to be the team's confrontation coach.
