Chapter 363 Fatal Assault

"Let's play like this in the second half. As long as we defend well, they won't have any chance to stop us. If we get another chance, maybe we can score another goal, and then we'll definitely win!!"

In the away team's locker room at Camp Nou, several people sat together and discussed the first half of the game. Wang Li's words touched the hearts of all the players. He spoke like a coach assigning game tasks: "However, we still have to be careful of the opponent's attack and we must defend well. As long as we defend solidly, we will be invincible."

After Wang Li expressed his opinion, he looked at the looks in his teammates' eyes and felt a little proud.

Just at this moment, the team's 'real' head coach Mourinho pushed the door open and immediately attracted the attention of all the players in the locker room. With a slight smile on his face, he looked at Wang Li with satisfaction and said, "Alan is right. We must defend well. You saw the game in the first half. The opponent's coordination was very strong, at least not worse than ours. Such an attack can easily penetrate the defense line."

When Mourinho came in, Wang Li sat down immediately and listened carefully to the Portuguese's explanation. In fact, he knew very well that in terms of football skills, he was definitely outstanding in the team, but in terms of tactics, playing style, situation and so on, he could not compare with the real big-name coaches.

"This is Camp Nou. They will definitely attack aggressively, and as long as they attack, we will have a chance, so we must defend well in the second half. Now we are leading, they will probably attack desperately, and then we will have a chance."

Mourinho didn't need to say much, all the players in the locker room knew the importance of scoring another goal. If they could score two away goals at Camp Nou and win or draw, Chelsea would almost certainly advance. Barcelona couldn't beat Chelsea at home, so how could they turn defeat into victory when they returned to Stamford Bridge! ?

At the same time, in the home team locker room at Camp Nou, Rijkaard was standing in the locker room with a sad face, trying to persuade the players.

In fact, he is not good at doing this, but if the morale of Barcelona players drops sharply in the later games, then it will become an "impossible task" to reverse the score.

"We must attack. Now they are leading, but we use offense to defeat them.

. "

"As long as we can score a goal at the start, the situation will be back in our hands. However, we still have to be careful of the opponent's No. 21. He is too fast and we have to watch out for his counterattack."

When the players of both teams returned to the field, it indicated that the second half of the game was about to begin. The fans who left the stadium at halftime returned to their seats one after another, and the huge Camp Nou returned to the state during the game.

Fans of both teams kept protesting against each other. Relatively speaking, the Blues fans, who were smaller in number, were much weaker, but they were very confident. Now that Chelsea was leading the score, they had no reason to retreat or be cowardly.

The war in the audience stands generally only lasted in one corner. Most Barcelona fans had no contact with Chelsea fans. When the players of both teams came on the field, the attention of the whole audience was focused on the green field and the performance of the players who got the ball.

…………The players of both teams were already standing on the field. The Chelsea players stood in a circle around them. After a uniform shout of "Come on!", everyone dispersed and stood in position on the field, waiting for the game to start again.

"Come on, brothers, they are no match for us!!" At this time, Wang Li was still shouting to cheer up his teammates.

As soon as the game whistle sounded, the fierce competition on the field began again.

During the halftime break, Barcelona coach Rijkaard had explained their tactics to all the players. This tactic was undoubtedly attack, attack, and attack! ! Now Barcelona was the lagging side, and they were at the Camp Nou, so they really had no reason not to attack aggressively.

So, right at the start of the game, the Barcelona players collectively pressed forward a lot. It was obvious that they wanted to take advantage of the opening moment to equalize the score and turn the situation back into their hands.

"Stand still and keep an eye on the men!" In the backcourt, the busiest person was obviously the captain John Terry. He was not only a defensive stalwart, but also had to act as the commander of the rear defense, which made him a little too busy.

Barcelona's offensive ability is indeed very strong. For a long time in the second half, they completely took the initiative. Even Wang Li had to admit in his heart that Chelsea's offense was simply not comparable to Barcelona. With this offensive ability, it was really easy to score another goal. Chelsea's backcourt situation became precarious.

In this situation, Wang Li had no choice but to run back from the backcourt to participate in the defense.

In the 47th minute, after receiving the ball, Deco shook off the defender and passed the ball straight to the right. Eto'o received the ball and got rid of Terry who was entangled with him. However, at this time, the double-team defense of William Gallas and Ricardo Carvalho made Eto'o, the top scorer of La Liga, helpless. With no angle, he shot the ball like a plane and kicked it directly out of the baseline.

Just two minutes later, at the front of the penalty area, Eto'o was tripped by Carvalho when he accelerated after receiving the ball. Barcelona got a free kick in a good position. Ronaldinho, who took the penalty, shot directly from 25 yards on the left, but it went over the crossbar.

After 50 minutes of the game, Barcelona's attack was finally blocked by Wang Li's steal, and Chelsea finally had its first counterattack in the second half. Unfortunately, after Joe Cole received the ball, he passed it directly to Drogba from the wing, but it was directly intercepted by the opponent's defender Puyol. Then in Barcelona's attack, Deco's straight pass to Eto'o was also intercepted by William Gallas. The two offensive contests between the two sides were evenly matched.

As the game time passed, every minute and every second became very important, but Barcelona's attack had not yet achieved any results. At least Chelsea had defended the opening attack. The score on the field was still one goal ahead for the visiting team Chelsea.

During this period, Chelsea was pressed back in the backcourt. Because the space became smaller, it became more difficult for Barcelona players to receive the ball. Ronaldinho, Deco and others all had this feeling, but they had to continue to attack in a big way, so Barcelona's attack pressed closer and closer.

.

In the eyes of the fans, Barcelona's players seemed determined to score a goal at all costs, which made Chelsea's defense even more precarious. Wang Li even stood on the penalty area line to participate in the defense, which had never happened in the entire season. It can be seen that Barcelona's offense is so strong that they are indeed Chelsea's toughest opponent since the start of this season.

At this time, Barcelona fans in the stands kept shouting: "Goal! Goal!!"

Yes, Barcelona just lacks a goal now.

In the 57th minute, Thiago Mendes, who was called a super fake by the English media, made another mistake. In the penalty area, he kicked the ball away but failed to kick it hard enough, and the ball went directly to the feet of the opponent's midfielder Xavi. Then, Xavi volleyed the ball from 25 yards in the middle. Fortunately, the ball went directly into Cech's arms, allowing Chelsea to escape again.

In Chelsea's counterattack, Wang Li quickly dribbled the ball away from Van Bronckhorst and faced the double-team of Barcelona players. He looked for a gap and made a cross from the right, but unfortunately Drogba failed to keep up. Barcelona's Belletti chested the ball and passed it back to Valdes.

At this time, a dramatic scene appeared on the field. Drogba rushed over and kicked the ball in the small penalty area as a demonstration, shaking it towards Valdez who was already holding the ball in his arms. This demonstration even made the Blues fans whistle, but no one expected that the bald referee Collina from Italy would blow the whistle! !

Trampling foul!!

This penalty made Mourinho stand up angrily on the sidelines. He hurried to the fourth official and began to protest. You know, if he had watched the foul, Drogba would undoubtedly get a yellow card. In the first half, Drogba had already received a yellow card. Two yellow cards turned into one red card, and he was sent off directly.

Then, Chelsea will have to fight with 10 men.

Moreover, after receiving the red card, Drogba will definitely miss the second round of the two teams' match at Stamford Bridge, which is very unfavorable for Chelsea.

Unfortunately, Collina was apparently very stubborn and his decision could not be changed.

…………“……Oh my God, Drogba was sent off, and Chelsea will have to play with 10 men. This game is becoming more and more difficult, and Barcelona may really be able to end Chelsea's unbeaten record. However, I still hope Chelsea can win. Before the game, Ronaldinho said that all Premier League teams will be eliminated. This provocation is really unacceptable. Although I am an Arsenal fan, I still hope Chelsea can win the game." - British BBC TV station.

"Barcelona's chance has come!! I have always been optimistic about this team, they are very strong. Chelsea's previous performance was indeed very good, but given the level of the Premier League, such performance is not surprising. From the whole game, Barcelona has always taken the initiative, all they lack is goals..." - France Sports TV.

"Collina's decision was somewhat controversial. It will be more difficult for Chelsea to play in the following games. However, judging from the second half of the game, if Chelsea defends with all their strength, they still have a chance to maintain the score. After all, they are now in the lead." - Sports Channel of the Ancient Oriental Country Chaoting Station.

…While various media outlets were reporting on the incident, Wang Li was also explaining next to Collina, “Didi just couldn’t stop his feet, he ran too fast…” “This wasn’t a real foul, he didn’t do it on purpose.”

Wang Li's face was obviously not helped. Collina even warned him that if he continued to pester him, "don't blame him for being rude." This made Wang Li angry, but he helplessly spread his hands towards Drogba.

In the 59th minute, Drogba was sent off after accumulating two yellow cards. The game became 11 vs. 10, which boosted Barcelona's morale. They naturally thought that this would be the turning point of the game, so after the game resumed, their attack became more fierce.

.

Wang Li has been standing near the front of his own penalty area. His defensive task is to keep an eye on Ronaldinho, prevent him from participating in Barcelona's attack, and look for opportunities to steal the ball.

For Wang Li, it is really very simple to keep a close eye on an opposing offensive player, even if the opponent is the new World Footballer of the Year. On the contrary, Ronaldinho is the most depressed person in the whole stadium. He can't receive the pass from his teammates at all. For 5 consecutive minutes, he didn't even touch the football.

Only then did he realize that the black-haired boy next to him was not only threatening in offense, but also frustrating when involved in defense.

However, as the core of Barcelona's offense and the engine of the team, Ronaldinho had to try hard to get rid of Wang Li's defense. He couldn't just give in. This was not only a matter of face, but also the winning mentality of one of the world's top football players.

However, it is not so easy to get rid of Wang Li's defense. After nearly 10 minutes of interaction, Ronaldinho even felt that the black-haired boy next to him would have more prospects to play as a defender.

At this time, Wang Li's mind was not entirely on Ronaldinho. He had been observing Barcelona's attack, the positions of their players, and constantly thinking about where to find a breakthrough point if they counterattacked at this time.

However, after more than ten minutes of careful observation, Wang Li did not find that Barcelona's defense had too many loopholes. However, they pressed too far forward, making the middle extremely crowded. Chelsea's offense could not get through the blockade of the midfield at all, which made Chelsea have no chance to counterattack.

"Offside!!"

This word instantly appeared in Wang Li's mind and made him suddenly enlightened.

In recent times, as he is at Chelsea and his teammates are very strong, he has focused more on cooperating with the team. However, it is undeniable that even though he can score goals in every game, it still limits his ability to play.

Even though he had thought about this question before, Wang Li didn't pay too much attention to it. The team won anyway, so what did it matter how they played? ?

However, the team is now in crisis. If things continue like this, the opponent is likely to equalize the score. Wang Li can't help but take a gamble with the strength of his teammates and his own strength.

All Premier League teams know that defensive counterattacks have always been Chelsea's trump card. Why! ?

Because Chelsea has Wang Li, Robben and Duff, these three are very fast and have good coordination. If they are pressed too far forward, Wang Li's own strength alone can create a very threatening counterattack.

But now, Wang Li is participating in the defense in the backcourt, which makes it impossible for him to bring out his strength at all. Just freezing Ronaldinho is really a waste of his talent.

Thinking of this, Wang Li couldn't help but sigh - he still took this game too seriously. As long as he stood near the midline, it would be a serious deterrent to any team. How could Barcelona let go and continue to play like this! ?

So, Wang Li said hello to captain Terry, gave up defending Ronaldinho, and walked straight to the center line.

If he had done this at the beginning of the second half, it would definitely have aroused the strong vigilance of the Barcelona players. However, the game had been going on for such a long time, and Chelsea's occasional counterattacks were almost calm and posed no threat at all. This made the Barcelona players feel that Chelsea could only retreat and defend. Therefore, even the Barcelona defenders standing near the midline did not pay too much attention to this.

.

Isn't it normal for a striker to be at the forefront of the team?

In another attack by Barcelona, ​​Deco was knocked to the ground by Makelele on the wing. Collina did not blow the whistle to indicate that it was a good ball. After the French fierce Makelele got the ball, he kicked it towards the front court with a big kick.

At this time, Barcelona's half was almost empty, and the football landed just 10 meters outside the penalty area. This kind of long-foot clearance-like kick did not arouse the Barcelona players' vigilance at all.

However, almost when the ball reached its highest point and began to fall, the Barcelona fans in the audience became alert, because they saw a black figure running ahead at a speed close to the human limit. There was no need to know who it was. On the field, the only one who could run at this speed was Wang Li! !

When the Chelsea fans and neutral fans in the stands saw this scene, they all started shouting Wang Li's name, but the Barcelona fans were very nervous. They booed even more crazily to suppress the shouting.

In such a noisy environment, Wang Li used all his inner strength and devoted himself to the 100-meter sprint. The Barcelona players who were also running in the backcourt only saw a gust of black wind blowing past them, and then they could only follow behind and eat dust.

At this moment, everyone in Camp Nou truly understood what speed is! !

1 second.

2 seconds.

3 seconds.

The football had fallen onto the grass, and Wang Li was about 10 meters away from this point.

4 seconds.

Goalkeeper Valdes finally realized the crisis and rushed out of the goal.

5 seconds.

6 seconds.

Under the incredulous gazes of everyone in the audience, Wang Li finally felt that Valdes had caught up with the ball, so he kicked it upwards with force, and the football flew over Valdes' head and jumped towards the goal. At the same time, Wang Li started to chase the ball again.

7 seconds.

Wang Li stopped the ball and headed towards Barcelona's empty goal.

8 seconds.

Wang Li dribbled the ball into the Barcelona goal.

On Sky TV, Graham let out the longest roar since the start of the game. This goal was so satisfying. It was normal for Barcelona to besiege Chelsea, but now Wang Li used less than 10 seconds to bring the ball into the Barcelona fans. Is there a more sharp counterattack than this! ?

"Alan!! The king of Stamford Bridge, the saint of English football, the pride of English football, at this moment, you are not fighting alone!! All English fans are supporting you!!"

"Two to zero!! Chelsea has extended the lead!!"
