Chapter 316 Shit, chaos!!!

At this time, the Russian Alexia Smerkin and the Cameroonian Geremi, who were sitting on the bench, had wooden expressions on their faces. They looked at the black-haired boy on the field, the excited Scott Parker after scoring a goal, and then turned to look at Damien Duff who had just been substituted off the field, and thought about Joe Cole and Arjen Robben who were not included in the squad...

Even though Geremi's performance on the field is not inferior, it is still difficult for him to find his place in Chelsea, not to mention Smerkin who rarely gets the chance to play.

"Perhaps it's time to consider leaving?" The two of them thought at the same time with serious expressions.

Since coming to Chelsea in 2003, Ndkinap Geremi's performance has been very stable, but it is this stability that has always kept him on the edge of the team's main force and substitute. Since Mr. Abramovich has invested more and more in the transfer market, Geremi has become increasingly marginalized in Chelsea.

However, seeing Chelsea's performance getting better and better this season, Geremi is also very conflicted. For a player, especially a mid-level player like Geremi, honors are difficult to get. If he can stay in Chelsea until the end of this season and win the championship, then at least he is a member of the championship team, and his value and salary will naturally increase.

Honor is very important for a player, but playing time is also very important. Geremi is only 27 years old this year, which can be said to be the peak period of a player. In this case, always wasting time on the bench is definitely not a good choice.

In this case, how to choose between competition and honor becomes the issue that needs to be carefully considered.

Of course, for another Russian, his strength is really limited. What Smelkin needs to consider is not when to leave Chelsea, but when Chelsea will get rid of him.

………

After the game resumed, Chelsea's attacking momentum was even stronger.

In the eyes of most Chelsea players, the black-haired boy is really synonymous with goals. As long as he is on the field, scoring goals is as easy as taking candy from a bag.

For example, he only played for a few minutes just now and Chelsea equalized the score.

Time and again, Chelsea's morale was boosted, and the offense naturally became smoother, which forced Porto to become more and more passive. Their offense in the frontcourt was also quite unsmooth, and most of the time it was the players' mistakes that caused the offense to stop. This also shows their impatience on the other hand.

During this process, Porto players were also very unwilling. Even if we don't talk about the value of this game, this is at the Dragon Stadium, Porto's home stadium, with nearly 30,000 fans in the stands cheering for them. As Portugal's leading giants, if they lose the game when they are leading, especially to the team led by last season's "traitor", this will definitely make the fans very dissatisfied, and Porto will also lose the hearts of the people. This is a great shame.

Back on the court.

In the middle, after receiving the pass from Lampard, Wang Li chose to dribble the ball forward. Just when he crossed the center line, Costinha came to intercept him. Defender Sitaridis was making up for him not far away. It was obvious that the players on the Porto field attached great importance to Wang Li's defense, and they tried their best to limit his performance.

Wang Li had encountered this type of defense many times, so he did not pass the ball, but stepped forward and swiped the ball back and forth. The dynamics and frequency made all the fans who saw this scene open their eyes wide.

'Shadowless Kick' Cycling

Even though many Chelsea fans have seen Wang Li's way of passing the ball, they still feel the shocking visual effect every time, not to mention most of the Porto fans present. At that moment, the booing in the stadium stopped abruptly. This kind of personal football skill with serious visual impact is rare even in the Portuguese league which is dominated by technology. The speed of change of Wang Li's feet on the football has reached the limit of human beings. The shock cannot be described in a few words.

This was not the first time that Costinha encountered Wang Li's way of dribbling, and he had seriously thought about how to steal the ball. However, when he looked down and saw a dazzling array of "legs", the Portuguese man was still at a loss. He fell to the ground and tackled directly in a fit of excitement.

This would be the option most defensive players would choose when faced with this situation.

Seeing the actions of the Portuguese in front of him, Wang Li curled his lips, and at the same time pushed the ball forward, then took some light steps, and avoided Costinha's fierce legs by a hair's breadth, just chasing the ball.

However, the danger is not over.

Sitaridis shoveled the ball at the moment Wang Li passed Costinha. The Greek was very experienced and had a very accurate timing. At this moment, Wang Li hadn't even caught up with the ball. He glanced at Sitaridis who was shoveling the ball, and secretly hardened his heart. He also shoveled forward with all his strength. The ball was poked by his toes and flew directly to Thiago Mendes in front of him on the left. Wang Li quickly infused his internal energy into his right foot, waiting for this moment of collision.

The result was obvious. The Greek player's feet directly tackled Wang Li's right foot, causing Wang Li to fall directly on the grass due to his already unbalanced body. The Blues fans in the stadium felt distressed, and Mr. Mourinho in the coaching booth stood up nervously. Even though he knew that the black-haired boy would not be easily injured, the Porto player actually tackled the black-haired boy's leg. How could people not worry?

"Beep..." The referee blew the whistle to indicate a foul and ran over immediately.

Hearing the whistle, Wang Li stood up from the grass, jumped a little, turned around and waved to his teammates to indicate that he was fine. Then, he looked at the Greek man who was holding his right leg and crying in pain, but in his heart he couldn't help but give him a thumbs up for the ball grab.

The referee and some Porto players nearby looked at Wang Li with suspicion. They were all a little confused as to why the black-haired boy was not injured. When they saw that Wang Li was really intact and even stretched his legs and jumped twice on the spot, they reluctantly checked the condition of Sitaridis lying on the ground.

At this time, Fernandez, the coach of Porto, also became anxious. He stood up and walked directly to the fourth official, and then kept complaining to him that the opponent's '21' must have some secret tricks. Indeed, this process and result had to arouse suspicion. Even the fourth official had this suspicion. At this time, the big screen on the field was also replaying the collision just now. In the video, only Sitaridis's foul could be seen, which left Fernandez speechless---

The Spaniard can only complain about the 'perversion' of Chelsea players

After a long while, with the help of the team doctor, the Greek man stood up from the grass. He didn't seem to have suffered any serious injuries. His legs limped a few times to adapt and then returned to normal.

But what everyone didn't know was that at this moment, Sitaridis was the most shocked. It was not until now that he knew why Van Nistelrooy of the Premier League was injured for several months after he tackled Wang Li.

The Greek man felt as if he had just knocked down an iron pillar.

If that black-haired kid had stood up, Sitaridis felt that he would most likely be carried away on a stretcher and spend a few months in the hospital, or even his career would be over. Thinking of this, the big Greek man broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that he was very lucky, and decided never to tackle that kid again in the future games.

What does winning or losing a game matter?

No matter what, nothing is more important than your own legs. Although it may seem selfish to think so, this is the truth.

………

The game resumed three minutes later. Although Sitaridis had learned a lesson, it was only directed at Wang Li. Besides, the other Porto players did not have that standard in their minds. So, as Chelsea's attack became more and more fierce, the Porto players' defensive movements became more and more aggressive, and the cheers from tens of thousands of fans in the stands gave them more motivation.

The Chelsea team of Premier League 'big men' were clearly unwilling to lag behind in this regard. Even though they knew that doing so would cause dissatisfaction from head coach Mourinho, they were so excited seeing their players falling on the field one after another that they didn't care about these things at all.

This made the scene extremely "exciting" for a while, and the football field was almost turning into a "hand-to-hand combat battlefield".

The competition in the midfield is the most intense. All players know the importance of striving for control of the midfield. As time goes by, the area near the center line gradually becomes the most brutal battlefield, with people falling down from time to time.

The offense of both teams could hardly pass through the midfield smoothly, and the game was repeatedly terminated due to continuous fouls.

During this period of time, the referee became the busiest person in the stadium. His whistle sounded like a flute, ticking non-stop. The attacks of the two teams were constantly terminated with this ticking sound. The game seemed to have changed.

At this time, Mr. Lineker, a special guest of BBC TV, could not help but comment: "Now the players on the field seem to have given up everything. They are too reckless. It has to be said that this kind of game is very dangerous for professional players. When I was playing football, I also encountered this kind of game. They couldn't defend me and directly fouled me. I was injured many times and spent a long time in the hospital. This had a great impact on my future game state."

Lineker's words obviously aroused the interest of the commentator Small, who asked: "I heard that you have never received a red or yellow card in your career. Why don't you fight back when your opponent keeps fouling you?"

"I think the best counterattack is to score a goal with my feet on the football field. As for fouls? That's useless. Even if the opponent is injured, it will only cause more trouble for me."

At this time, Lineker suddenly remembered something and joked: "I think Chelsea's No. 21 is really amazing. He can stay unharmed when his opponent commits a foul. If I were still playing football, I would definitely learn this method from him."

………

At this time, Mr. Fernandez on the sidelines was very happy with this situation. He knew very well that if the game went normally, Chelsea would probably continue to score goals in the next period of time. Only such a scene could allow Porto to win in the chaos. Even if it was a draw, 1 point would allow Porto to appear in the group steadily.

Mourinho was a little worried. In his opinion, a draw was enough. After all, winning was not a must. The score of 2:2 was enough to save his face, and it could also serve as a warning to Chelsea players, which would be helpful in future games.

Unfortunately, the Portuguese player could not just sit there and watch his opponent foul his players, or even restrict his own players' actions. Therefore, he could only support his chin with both hands and look at the court expressionlessly: on the one hand, he could keep himself calm and increase the team's confidence, and on the other hand, it would give the media a false impression that he was calm and unhurried.

It has to be said that although Mourinho usually appears sloppy in terms of his dress and even often appears to not care about media comments, in fact, he still cares a lot about what the outside world says.

In the 62nd minute of the game, Chelsea attacked. Lampard kicked the ball near the center circle to the full-back William Gallas who was making a run forward. The latter stopped the ball a little too far and immediately stretched out his foot to hook the ball. However, Porto midfielder Maniche next to him kicked it hard and failed to grab the ball but stepped on Gallas' right foot, causing Gallas to fall to the ground while running. The referee showed Maniche a yellow card.

Just one minute later, during Porto's attack, young player Diego was tackled to the ground by Frank Lampard and was carried off the field on a stretcher. Lampard also received a yellow card.

Fernandez replaced Diego with Cesar Pessotto. It was obvious that the young player had been tackled by Lampard and could not continue the game.

In the 69th minute of the game, Thiago Mendes collided with the opposing defender Jorge Costa while running. Mendes was stunned and after temporary treatment by the team doctor, he stood up and waved his fists, wanting to hit Costa. Fortunately, he was stopped by Wang Li and others. Seeing the gloating smile on Costa's lips, it was obvious that the two had conflicts in the Portuguese league before, and this was by no means a simple unintentional collision.

However, the referee did not notice any foul by the opponent. He just awarded the ball to Chelsea and waved his hand to signal the game to continue.

In the 73rd minute of the game, Wang Li dribbled into Porto's half, dribbled past two defenders, and made a precise through pass into the penalty area. Drogba stopped the ball a little too far and was cleared away by the opponent's defender. Porto counterattacked.

In this situation, it is obviously difficult for both teams to play any smooth cooperation. Porto is of course the same. Their offense relies entirely on breakthroughs on the flanks, and many times they are directly terminated by Chelsea's tackles, pulling and small moves. However, this attack was very sharp, and after a lot of bumps and bruises, the ball was still passed to the edge of Chelsea's penalty area.

Cesar Peixoto, who just came on the field, is only 24 years old, but he is one of the champion members of Porto. With the team, he won the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Cup, Portuguese League and Cup championships.

When he came to Porto, Pessotto once said: "I came here to help Porto win the championship. Joining Porto has fulfilled my dream. This is a team of very high level."

But perhaps Fernandez felt that Pessotto did not meet his tactical standards. Now in Porto, he has become a versatile substitute in the midfield. But this time, Pessotto still played his experience and strength. After receiving the ball in Chelsea's penalty area, he saw Chelsea captain John Terry next to him making a tackle, so he quickly pulled the ball back, changed direction and dodged to the left. Terry made a tackle and then turned and shot.

However, Thomas' goalkeeping ability has been greatly enhanced now. If it was when he played for Prague Rangers last season, perhaps this kind of ball would still be very threatening, but now his game experience is no longer comparable to last season. This tricky long shot was directly caught by him with both hands.

However, this is not the point, because near the front of the penalty area, Pessotto, who had just completed a wonderful shot, had an argument with Terry. They were pulling each other and soon attracted the attention of the whole audience. Of course, Wang Li also ran over, but he was still late.

While cursing, Pessotto directly elbowed Terry, causing him to fall to the ground. Just as the referee who was trying to resolve the dispute was about to take action, Bridget, who was standing next to him, pushed Pessotto to the ground.

This led to greater disputes between the two sides.

After a long while, under the mediation and warnings of the referee, the players from both sides separated from the entanglement, and then the referee showed a red card to Pessotto and Bridge without hesitation.

Obviously, this is a deterrent.

At this time, all the fans in the stadium were watching the process of the conflict just now. In the slow motion, we can see that after Terry made a tackle, he fell to the ground and tried to hook the ball with his left foot, but it happened to hook Pessotto's right leg, almost causing Pessotto to fall to the ground after he had just shot. Fortunately, this scene was not seen by the referee, otherwise, he would definitely show a yellow card to Terry as well.

"It's okay, the boss won't blame you." On the court, Wang Li patted Bridget on the shoulder and comforted him.

Bridget put his hands on his head to shake off the sweat, gave a wry smile to Wang Li beside him and said nothing, then turned and walked out of the court. Wang Li couldn't help but smile and gave him a thumbs up from behind.

What Bridge did just now was very smart. As the team captain, Terry's prestige in Chelsea is unquestionable. If Bridge didn't do that, the conflict would have been even bigger. He obviously wanted to ease the conflict. However, this approach also led to him being sent off the field directly.

Now, the situation on the court has become 10V10.

In fact, Mr. Mourinho on the sidelines was the most annoyed. You know, today is December 8th, and just 5 days later, they will go to Highbury to challenge Arsenal away. This game is also Chelsea's most important game before Christmas.

But now, the last game of the Champions League group stage has turned out like this. Fortunately, no Chelsea players are injured now, but it is hard to say what will happen in the future. Mourinho watched the game on the field with his chin in his hand, but his heart was in a mess. No matter which player on the field is injured now, it will be a huge loss for Chelsea.

At this time on the court, Wang Li stood near the center line, staring at Porto's goal, and felt a little anxious. Although Chelsea did not suffer any loss in the fouls between the two sides, it became very difficult to launch a smooth attack in this situation.

“Shit”

When the referee blew the whistle and turned around, Wang Li said a swear word at his back in an unhappy mood, then ran towards the Porto penalty area.

It was obvious that he was still very upset about Bridge being sent off.
