Chapter 338 1 7! ! !

Facing Chelsea's continuous and fierce attack, Portsmouth was completely unable to withstand it, and many players' confidence was becoming increasingly scarce. Of course, there were also some players who wanted to continue attacking and score a goal to save some face for Portsmouth in front of many fans----

Fortunately, after taking a big lead, Chelsea's defense became a little loose.

In the 77th minute of the game, Portsmouth's Congolese striker LuaLua took advantage of a tactical free kick opportunity and finally scored a header for the team, scoring a face-saving goal. After scoring the goal, the big black guy did three consecutive backflips like Wang Li, and this action seemed to be a provocation to Wang Li.

But in fact, this is just a celebration that LuaLua, who has been practicing gymnastics since he was a child, likes to do. Although he is not a very dazzling striker in the Premier League, and even many fans don’t know his name, but when it comes to celebrations, many people remember him. This kind of celebration with some dangerous moves is indeed rare.

"Alan, do you think he is provoking you?" Seeing the celebration of the Portsmouth team, Joe Cole walked up to Wang Li and pointed in that direction while sarcastically saying.

Wang Li put two fingers on his chin and thought for a moment, staring at that direction. After a while, he said, "His movements were not standard. When he landed, his legs were stretched too straight, which can easily cause muscle strain."

"I heard that boy was a gymnast when he was young. This should be a standard move, right?"

"So what?"

"...Okay, your moves are standard enough. Score another goal later, and then you'll have a chance to show that black kid a standard backflip." Joe Cole looked at the stubborn black-haired kid in front of him helplessly. He spread his hands and continued with a smile: "But you'd better assist me once, I haven't scored a goal yet."

"Don't worry, I'll pass it on to you when I have a chance, but your suggestion is very good, hahaha"

The conversation between the two did not last too long, because Portsmouth's goal celebration did not last long. Before the game started, head coach Zajec had told them that the goal of this game was to score two goals, but now they only scored one and did not complete the task. Moreover, in front of so many fans, the score was 1:5, so even if they scored a goal, there was really nothing worth celebrating.

Except for LuaLua, I'm afraid that other players are not in a happy mood, and even celebrating the goal is just a formality.

However, after the game resumed, the morale that Portsmouth players had just accumulated because of their team's goal disappeared in an instant. Chelsea's attack was still fierce, especially the opponent's black-haired boy No. 21, who was almost omnipotent and no defensive player could stop him.

Last season, Portsmouth also played against Wolverhampton. Although they lost that game, they were still able to limit the performance of the black-haired boy. This season, Portsmouth's lineup has not changed much. Many players on the field are veterans from last season, but they found that the team's defense seemed to have no effect on Chelsea, especially the black-haired boy.

This also made it possible for Chelsea's offense to almost penetrate Portsmouth's defense, which made the interim head coach Zajec on the sidelines terrified. Even though his goal was only to let the team score two goals, 2:5 and 2:10 are by no means the same concept. If Chelsea scored too many goals, even two goals would not be able to make up for it.

At this point in the game, Portsmouth had no chance of winning, which made many Portsmouth fans bored, but they did not choose to leave. It should be said that few people left at this time, because many fans wanted to see Chelsea's performance and strength. Chelsea's current record is really a miracle. Even if they are opponents now, it is a rare opportunity to watch this miracle team, isn't it? Besides, there are many English players in Chelsea on the field, so---

Just think of it as a friendly match between Portsmouth and England.

Now, Portsmouth fans can only use these words to comfort themselves. Seeing their favorite team falling behind by 4 goals, they really have no hope for the game at all.

As these fans thought, in the 83rd minute of the game, Chelsea scored again, this time it was Joe Cole

Joe Cole, this English player is really inconspicuous in the star-studded Chelsea. Many people even forget that there is such a genius in Chelsea. They only know Wang Li, Drogba, Lampard, Arjen Robben... But this time Joe Cole finally shined at the Farnham Park Stadium. Under the gaze of all the fans and reporters, he took advantage of a corner kick and headed the ball into the penalty area. He scored the team's sixth goal.

This goal was also what Joe Cole had been looking forward to for a long time. After scoring the goal, he excitedly ran all over the field, and finally glided to the ground towards the Blues fans' stands, pointing his hands to the sky and shouting excitedly. This might be an expression of excitement after scoring the goal, but how could it not be a release of suppressed emotions?

In the current Chelsea team, Joe Cole has to compete with Damien Duff, Arkin Robben, Lampard, Wang Li and others for his position. The pressure is enormous. As the latter perform better and better in the game, Joe Cole's position becomes more and more unstable. He even sometimes thinks about leaving Chelsea, because even Joe Cole himself has no confidence in competing with these fans. Although he looks like he is laughing all day long, he knows his position very clearly in his heart.

But this time, he finally scored a goal.

Although this type of goal is not what he is good at, a goal is a goal, and it will also add a strong touch to his competition for position. As a winger, not scoring for a long time will definitely affect his mood.

"Chelsea scored again. This time it was Joe Cole, the talented player from Stamford Bridge, who scored the sixth goal for Chelsea. Now the score is 1:6. I feel a little sympathetic towards Portsmouth. Their players can still hold on until now and are still very spirited to fight against Chelsea. I have to admit that they all have a big heart, but this is definitely not enough. I hope they can keep up the good work and not lose the ball again." Graham's voice was a little hoarse. To be honest, at the beginning, he only liked Wang Li for Chelsea, but as he commented on more and more Chelsea games, he found himself liking Joe Cole, Robben and even Wayne Bridge. Now, he has fallen in love with this team, which the media calls the 'pound team', because they have so many outstanding players.

"Chelsea Chelsea Chelsea"

At this time, the Portsmouth fans were speechless, and only the Chelsea fans were shouting in unison. They wanted to mix all their excitement in these shouts to cheer for their favorite team. If someone who didn't understand football saw this, he would even think that this was a game held at Chelsea's home stadium.

At this time, Mourinho on the coaching bench seemed to feel that the team had already played in good form. This feeling was very strange. You know, the game has reached the final moments. At this time, the players should not have much physical strength, and Chelsea is already leading by 5 goals. In this situation, it is really a strange thing to play in good form.

The Portuguese had a keen sense and just five minutes later, Chelsea's move seemed to be coming.

Lampard cooperated with Wang Li at the front of the penalty area, but was knocked to the ground directly by Portsmouth's back. Chelsea got a free kick opportunity. The ball was about 35 meters away from the goal. It should be said that the position was very bad. Not only was the distance a bit far, but the angle was also very small.

Wang Li was still the one who took the free kick. He did not consider cooperating with his teammates. In fact, Chelsea was now leading by 5 goals. All the players on the field were playing freely and were not in a hurry to score. So after hearing the referee's whistle, he kicked the bottom edge of the football and chose to shoot directly.

The shot was really bad, not only in terms of angle but also in terms of power. This was mainly because Portsmouth's wall was too tight this time, and Wang Li could not find the passage between him and the goal. However, his luck was unstoppable, and the football flew over the wall in the air and directly into the opponent's goalkeeper's arms, but the opponent's goalkeeper stupidly chose to save the ball, perhaps because he was really afraid of Wang Li.

In short, the football hit the goalkeeper's calf and bounced into the goal, causing Portsmouth to lose the goal for the seventh time. In the final stage of the game, the score became 1:7.

The players of Portsmouth were dumbfounded. As soon as they reacted, they immediately complained about the goalkeeper's poor performance. However, the goalkeeper of Portsmouth was the most depressed. You know, the person these Premier League goalkeepers fear the most is undoubtedly Chelsea's No. 21 Wang Li. His shooting power is so great that they are even afraid that they will be kicked off the field and bid farewell to their careers early. This also made many goalkeepers feel very nervous when facing Wang Li's shot. They would rather not defend the goal than take risks with their bodies.

Wang Li was also dumbfounded. When he kicked the ball, he knew it would fly away. But he scored a goal. This was a blessing from heaven. Perhaps it was also a windfall for him. Because he now has goal-scoring targets in the contracts he has signed with many companies, one more goal can even bring him at least 100,000 pounds in income.

For Wang Li, who has scored 44 goals in the Premier League, one more goal or one less goal doesn't matter much. However, this is almost a lucky goal, just like buying a lottery ticket at random and then finding out a month later that you have won 100 yuan. It will make people feel a little surprised.

The Portsmouth fans at the scene could no longer be described as having a nightmare. No one would be happy to see their favorite team lose 1:7 at home. After seeing this goal, they finally couldn't bear it anymore and began to leave the field one after another. In fact, the game was about to end.

The fourth official on the sidelines raised the extra time card, indicating that the score would be extended by 2 minutes. However, when the extra time had just begun, the referee blew the whistle to end the game by taking advantage of a sideline ball opportunity. From this we can see that the referee of the Premier League is still very humane. At least in this game, he is very considerate of the emotions of the home players. Ending the game early is a good thing for both teams---

Chelsea won an extremely big victory, and Portsmouth players also escaped from the pain early.

………

After the game, Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho shook hands cordially with the opposing coach Zajec with a big smile on his face, while the latter had a gloomy face, but he still forced a smile. For Zajec, although they are now both head coaches of Premier League teams, the gap between him and Mourinho cannot be measured with a ruler. He does not want to offend this world-class ace coach because of his attitude.

The Chelsea players also collectively bowed to express their gratitude to all the Blues fans. No matter how well a team performs, they all rely on these ordinary fans, which is the most basic thing. So we can't ignore these lovely fans just because the team's performance is good. Wang Li was among them. He scored a hat trick in this game and won the title of best player of the game. In the eyes of the Blues fans, he is obviously the most important person in Chelsea. Many fans on the stadium greeted him and raised their hands desperately just to make Wang Li look in their direction and smile. It can only be said that the requirements of these lovely fans are too low.

At the press conference after the game, Portsmouth interim head coach Zajec expressed extreme disappointment with the game. He said he had never thought the game would turn out like this. Although Chelsea was very strong, Portsmouth did not play to its true strength. The players' performance was a mess, which made the formation chaotic and the coordination was a mess. Conceding 7 goals to the opponent may be a wake-up call for these players. I hope they can perform better in the next league and help Portsmouth successfully complete the task of relegation this season.

However, Zajec's official remarks were obviously ignored by reporters. For Portsmouth Club, they are more concerned about how long Zajec can stay in office and who will be the new head coach?

These questions are indeed very direct and are what reporters are most concerned about, but it is inappropriate to ask interim head coach Zajec to answer them.

However, Zayec still answered the question with a smile, showing his gentlemanly demeanor: "I know my level is not high, and it is difficult for me to lead the team to complete the task this season. I will wait for the news of the new head coach. Now, the chairman is stepping up this work. It is really inconvenient for me to disclose the specific progress."

These words were as good as nothing. The reporters in the audience were obviously very dissatisfied and gave up hope of getting any information from this supporting coach. So they handed the microphone to Mourinho and Joe Cole who came with him to the press conference.

"At this moment I feel that we are as close as a machine. Although we played beautiful games, the team is actually tired. We described Arsenal in this way last season, and this season it is our turn. In the game against Portsmouth, we won a big victory. This ending is very good for us, but I hope this result can continue until the end of the season."

"Now, the most important task for us is not to be complacent or too satisfied too early. We still have to work hard to win all the subsequent games so that our good results in the first half can be continued."

"Perhaps now the forwards and midfielders are often the focus of attention, but the five players in our defense also deserve praise. No matter who the opponent is, the result is the same. In my opinion, Cech and Thomas are both among the best goalkeepers in the world, and I have great confidence in our defense."

After Joe Cole finished speaking, the reporters in the audience were concerned about this weekend's away game against Liverpool, which has been in good form recently. Regarding this game, Joe Cole said: "This game may be a little difficult. They have Alonso and Gerrard guarding the midfield. For us, it will be a battle, but we will continue with the way we play and be ready to face any opponent. I believe the final winner will definitely be Chelsea."

Compared to Joe Cole's low-key speech, Mourinho was much more direct. He directly affirmed the result of this weekend's game: "We will definitely be the winners, there is no doubt about it. You don't have to discuss the result of the game because we always win, don't we?"

Then, he talked about some of the difficulties Chelsea is facing now: "Our players are very tired. This is my first season coaching in the Premier League, and I have experienced the horror of this schedule. Now many players are facing physical problems, and some players such as Ricardo are still recovering from injuries. However, I still have the confidence to keep the team winning. As long as we show our best level, I believe that no team will be Chelsea's opponent. We not only have good players, but also a depth of competition, investment in the game and the desire to fight and win. This is why we can always win."

"2004 was a great year for Chelsea. The club did very well, reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League and finishing runner-up in the Premier League. In 2005 we hope to bring all the honours to Stamford Bridge. The Premier League is the one we deserve the most, but unless we win it, everything we do now will be meaningless."
