Chapter 296: Empiricism Kills People (2)



This season, Chelsea's record is undoubtedly astonishing. In the past 14 games, they have won all the games and are the most impressive team in the Premier League. This has forced all the teams that have played against them to carefully study Chelsea's game videos before the game.

In various match videos, Chelsea's No. 21 black-haired boy will undoubtedly be the highlight of the game. ?

After analyzing Chelsea's lineup, the first thing these opponents have to do is to consider how to defend against this black-haired boy. ?

The same is certainly true of Porto. ?

Before the game, after careful study, Fernandez decided to use zone defense to stop Wang Li from playing. As an outstanding football coach, the Spaniard knew that if he wanted to really defend a superstar like Wang Li and prevent him from playing at all, the cost would definitely not be worth it, and even then, it might not be possible to really defend.

Therefore, at the beginning of the game, he did not assign anyone to defend him. ?

However, what Fernandez did not expect was that in this game, Chelsea actually let the black-haired boy act as the core of the attack. Under this style of play, the black-haired boy's personal ability would definitely be suppressed. In Fernandez's view, this is definitely not worth the loss. ?

However, after more than 40 minutes of the game, the first half was about to end, and the red letters on the scoreboard on the field flashed, indicating that the current score was 2:0, and Porto was two goals behind! ?

What does this mean!? ?

Porto's defensive counterattack tactics failed, Chelsea still played smoothly, and the black-haired boy still performed well in the attacking midfielder position. ?

And now, after several minutes of Porto's massive attack, they still failed to score a goal. In this situation, Mr. Fernandez even wanted to give up the game?

However, although the Spaniard was very disappointed, he did not do nothing. Taking advantage of a throw-in, he replaced Postiga with Luis Fabiano.

Even though the first half was only a few minutes away, Fernandez could no longer tolerate Postiga's poor performance.

"He was almost sleepwalking!" Fernandez couldn't help but complain to the assistant coach after signaling the substitution.

…?

Contrary to Fernandez's idea, in the eyes of Porto players, the black-haired boy from Chelsea is indeed excellent, but not as amazing as the rumors before the game.

What you hear is not as good as what you see. ?

In the first 40 minutes, Wang Li only showed his outstanding passing, coordination and long-range shooting abilities, and did not show much in terms of dribbling, passing and speed, so the Porto defenders felt that he was not that great, at least not as impossible to defend as the head coach said. ?

Especially the young player Ricardo Quaresma, he is still thinking that after getting the ball, he must dribble past the black-haired boy to save face. ?

But in fact, the reason why these players are still motivated to continue playing is more because Porto has many young players, such as Sitaridis, Quaresma, Fabiano, Diego, etc. These players all need to prove themselves in the European arena, so as to attract the attention of European giants, increase their own attention, and lay a good foundation for their future careers. ?

After all, the Portuguese A League is not one of the top five leagues. All these young players want to leave the team and find a better home. Even if Porto can win the Champions League, it cannot change its position as a springboard club, just like Ajax and PSV Eindhoven in the Netherlands.

In the tense match, the 45th minute had already passed and the fourth official had raised the extra time card, indicating 2 minutes of extra time.

At this time, Chelsea's players began to deliberately waste time. ?

But the Porto players obviously disagreed. They rushed to the front court frantically, trying to find a chance to score a goal in the last minute. On the two sides, Quaresma and Maniche's quick passing was indeed very threatening, and Fabiano, who had just come on the field, was full of energy and very active, which put Chelsea, who wanted to drag the game to the halftime break, in a passive position for a time. ?

Seeing this, the Blues fans in the audience were also nervous. They didn't want to see the team lose the ball in the final stage. Mr. Mourinho on the sidelines didn't do anything. He just sat there and watched the game on the field. He looked like a spectator. Even Creed took advantage of a sideline ball to tease...?

"...Look at Mr. Mourinho, he is sitting upright, even with a smile on his face. It is obvious that he is very confident in this game. Perhaps in Mr. Mourinho's eyes, Porto's current counterattack is as ridiculous as a circus monkey!"?

"He said before the game that he wanted to achieve an absolute victory, and now the score is moving in that direction. Well, time is passing by bit by bit, and we are ready for halftime. Yes, the fans also need a break,... Oh, God!! Danger!!"?

The sudden turn of events made by the commentator Creed also confirmed the situation of the game at that time. ?

It was Quaresma who dribbled the ball again. He dodged Lampard and then tangled with Makelele on the wing. The Frenchman suffered this time. He fell to the ground and made a mistake in the tackle. Quaresma pushed the ball forward, then jumped over him and then kicked a high ball into the penalty area. ?

In the penalty area, Fabiano, who had just come on the field, was tightly blocked by Brigitte. This match was the first time for the Brazilian to play against a Premier League team since coming to Europe. In the tight defense of Chelsea defenders, his performance was really unsatisfactory. It was obvious that the Brazilian had not yet adapted to this fierce physical confrontation.

Diego Ribas Cunha's adaptability is much stronger than Fabiano's. This young player is also an excellent striker that Porto bought from the Brazilian league this summer. But at least he has a certain position in Fernandes' heart, and now, his performance in the penalty area has also proved his ability to adapt to the game.

Chelsea's defense was very tight, and at this time the ball was also hanging between Diego and Fabiano. Diego used his agility to retreat a little, and then secretly pushed forward with force. Chelsea's Portuguese defender Ricardo Carvalho was directly knocked off balance. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Diego had already headed the ball! ?

Although Diego Ribas Cunha is only 173cm tall, which is considered a short player even in a football match, his jumping position was very good this time. John Terry, who jumped at the same time on the other side, was unable to head the ball. The ball hit Diego's head and flew towards the goal.

The ball didn't hit with much force, but this kind of sudden header on the field is definitely a major test for the goalkeeper's reaction ability. Fortunately, the angle of the ball was not tricky, and Cech blocked the ball out of the penalty area with both hands. ?

"Danger!!!" Creed exclaimed...?

Alberto, who was unguarded, followed up with a shot! ! ?

Immediately, there was a cheer from the audience. Alberto's follow-up shot was too hasty, and he kicked the ball directly into the arms of goalkeeper Petr Cech.

When the ball was already in Cech's arms, he was still a little confused. After he came to his senses, he quickly swung his arm and passed the ball to Claude Makelele outside the penalty area.

Makelele received the ball and kicked it directly to William Gallas next to him. Gallas received the ball and made a long pass, and the ball flew to Wang Li near the midline. ?

"Oh my god, chance!!" Creed Pesvak, who had just put his heart at ease, looked up at the court and immediately became excited.

At this time, due to Porto's attack just now, there were only three defensive players in the opponent's half. When they realized that the ball had changed hands, everyone started running towards their own half, but...?

In the blink of an eye, the football was already at the feet of Wang Li who was at the midline! ?

At this moment, everyone in the audience once again saw the combination of speed and art in dribbling the ball! ! ?

"Dreamlike, perfect..."?

Many fans were immersed in this dancing football scene and couldn't extricate themselves. At this moment, all the media and reporters' cameras were pointed at the black-haired boy with the ball on the field. Obviously, he was now the undisputed protagonist of the whole game.

If you ask an ordinary Blues fan what Chelsea's No. 21 black-haired boy is best at, he will definitely tell you that it is a quick counterattack! ?

This is not only because Wang Li has a fast dribbling speed and high counterattack efficiency, but also because when there is enough space on the court, he can perform the beautiful scene when he dribbles the ball, which is simply not possible to experience in the game video.

Or was the commentator Creed more professional? He was stunned for only 1 or 2 seconds before reacting and saying, "Opportunity! Allen dribbled the ball towards Porto!"?

This shout also made many Blues fans react. At this time, Wang Li had already dribbled the ball to the Porto penalty area line.

There were only two Porto defenders left in front of Wang Li, Pepe and Sitaridis. These two were Porto's main defenders. They were not good at attacking at all, so during the attack, they stayed in their own half to prevent Chelsea's counterattack. Obviously, their approach helped Porto's defense?

When they saw the black-haired kid dribbling the ball into the Porto penalty area, they both thought of the long shot just now and panicked. Obviously, with this kid's long-range shooting ability, he would probably shoot right here, and his goal-scoring efficiency would be extremely high.

So, when he saw the black-haired boy in front of him waving his right foot, Pepe jumped up directly on the spot. It was obvious that this defensive general who had just joined Porto from Maritimo wanted to use his body to block Wang Li's shot. ?

Seeing this scene, Frank Lampard, who had just run across the center line, was already imagining what was going to happen next.

'Body blocking Allen's goal, isn't that really suicide? '?

At this time, this is what most Chelsea players think, and even Mourinho on the sidelines was sweating for this Brazilian player. ?

After observing this game, the Portuguese found that the 21-year-old Pepe's performance in Porto's backcourt was indeed outstanding, and his performance in the central defender position was also very experienced. If he can grow up normally, he may have a chance to join the Blues next year! ? However, if he is injured by this kick, it is not certain. ?

At this moment, many people had some thoughts in their minds at the same time, but it happened so fast that Wang Li only had time to swing his right foot. He did not choose to shoot at all, and his right foot just touched the ball. Because Pepe jumped up, Wang Li almost effortlessly dodged him.

This even reminds many people of the fake shot in basketball games. ?

Vitor Manuel Martins Baia, who is 36 years old this year, is the best goalkeeper in Portugal in the 1990s, no doubt about it!! ?

Now, as the slightly older Baya has more and more experience in the game, his performance is getting more and more stable. After seeing the opponent's No. 21 black-haired boy easily pass Pepe, he immediately left the goal! ! ?

At this time, Wang Li had Sitaridis by his side. This participant in Greek mythology had defensive abilities that should not be underestimated. However, Wang Li cared least about one person's defense, and Sitaridis was also a little dazed when Pepe jumped up just now. After Wang Li passed Pepe, he just used a simple "sticky" trick. When his left foot touched the ball, he did not move forward, but pulled the ball back. Perhaps, under normal circumstances, this method would be difficult to deceive the defensive players, but in the sensitive area of ​​the penalty area, Sitaridis had already panicked, and he could not make the most calm judgment in an instant. ?

As a result, after Wang Li pulled the ball back to his side, he moved to the left and passed Sitaridis' defense. Next, he had to face goalkeeper Baya...?

At this time, Baya had already rushed out of the goal, and was only about 2 meters away from Wang Li.

This distance means that the two people could collide with each other in almost one second.

But obviously, the fans' worries were unnecessary. At least on the field, he never panicked. With his Dao heart that was close to achieving minor success in the Xiao Wuxiang Gong, he would not be nervous about such a football match at all. ?

After passing Sitaridis, Wang Li looked up at Baya who rushed out, and then swung his right foot, as if he was going to shoot hard. Of course, Baya would not let him shoot so easily. The number one goalkeeper of Portugal kicked the ground with both feet and rushed towards Wang Li's feet! ?

Baya is indeed experienced in the game. With this dive, he almost blocked all the shooting angles of Wang Li. ?

However, Wang Li did not choose to shoot at all! ! ?

In front of everyone's eyes, the right foot that the media said was more valuable than gold, flicked lightly beside the ball, and then took the "Kun" Bagua step of Lingbo Weibu, and flashed past Baya's body. ?

The ball is passed!! ?

The man-ball split that made the impossible possible!! ?

'How did he get past it? ' At this moment, almost everyone had this thought, even the two head coaches who were staring at the court from the sidelines.

The referee has put the whistle in his mouth, ready to blow the whistle to indicate a goal is scored. ?

In this situation, Wang Li calmly brought the ball into Porto's goal. ?

"Beep..."?

“Beep…” “Beep…”?

Don't get me wrong, this is not the whistle that marks the end of the game. The first whistle means the goal is scored, and the last two whistles mean the end of the first half.

"Goal!! Goal!! Goal!! Oh my god, a perfect one-stop goal! I had forgotten how long it had been since we saw Allen perform like this at Stamford Bridge, but this goal has completely brought back my memory!!!"

"…In the last minute of the first half, Allen scored a perfect goal for Chelsea, 3:0. Maybe we can wait for the second half with appreciation. Just like the great Mr. Mourinho said, the game was obviously an absolute victory for Chelsea!"?

"…Chelsea! Chelsea! Only Chelsea!!"?

Obviously, Wang Li's last-second goal dealt a heavy blow to the Porto team. The first half of the game was over, and many Porto players were still sitting on the grass with bewildered looks in their eyes. ?

This goal was not only a lead in score, but also a mental blow. ?

When the Porto players discovered the passing ability of this black-haired boy No. 21, he also showed his long-range shooting ability. When they tried their best to prevent Wang Li's long-range shooting ability, he showed his outstanding ability to dribble past the opponent. Can the Porto team really defend such a player with such comprehensive abilities! ? ?

Moreover, this black-haired boy has such outstanding abilities! ! ? ?

This is the most critical point. ?

The team's main defender Areias was easily dribbled past. Pepe, who always performed well, was unable to delay the attack time. Only the experienced Sitaridis delayed his attack time for about a second, but he was still dribbled past. Even the soul of the team's defense, goalkeeper Vitor Manuel Martins Baya, was easily dribbled past by a single pass...?

Finally, the black-haired boy brought the ball into the goal. ?

How can they defend against a player whose skills are comparable to those of Maradona in his prime? Moreover, Porto is already three goals behind. Is there any hope of winning this game?

Perhaps, a few Porto players stubbornly believed that it was not that they did not defend well, but that they did not understand the opponent. The experience of the first half made them make wrong predictions. However, the team captain Maniche knew clearly that such a comprehensive offensive player was a nightmare for defensive players because you could not predict his next move at all.

Looking at the two Brazilian youngsters Fabiano and Diego walking towards the locker room, he shook his head unconsciously. He knew that it was almost impossible to expect these two youngsters to equalize the score.

At this time, he looked at the back of Chelsea's No. 21 walking towards the player tunnel and shook his head unconsciously, 'Maybe, I should leave too.'?

How many of the players who won the treble last year are still in Porto? ? ?

No matter how brilliant the team's past performance was, it is always a springboard for entering the European five-team league.
