Chapter 373 Reaching the Summit
The penalty kick scored by Wang Li changed the score to 1:2. All Chelsea supporters in the stadium were excited, and the morale of the players who were out of breath due to Manchester United's fierce attack in the second half was also boosted.
Head coach Mourinho sat more calmly on the sidelines. He chewed a piece of gum with great interest and talked with the assistant coach next to him about the performance of the players on the field. He also laughed occasionally. Seeing his performance, everyone's first feeling was that Chelsea had grasped the victory.
In contrast, Manchester United coach Ferguson had a gloomy face and stood on the sidelines, shouting and reminding the players to continue attacking.
There was a stark contrast in the physical demeanor of the two head coaches, which was also an outward manifestation of the two teams’ form.
However, there was a piece of news that made Ferguson feel much better. In another game, Arsenal was already leading 2:1 at the start of the second half thanks to goals from Henry and Bergkamp. That is to say, as long as Manchester United scored a goal and the two teams tied, Chelsea would not win the championship.
In this situation, the Jazz needed a goal even more urgently.
On the field, Manchester United had to continue to attack for the sake of their dignity. The players looked at the old Sir who was shouting on the sidelines, and they felt a little sad. In fact, Ferguson's authority in Manchester United was unquestionable, and all the players were a little afraid of this old man.
However, such a fierce attack just now failed to break Chelsea's goal. Is there really any hope if they continue to attack now?
This question made all Manchester United players ponder, causing the team's morale to drop a lot. After the game resumed, Manchester United originally planned to use offense to equalize the score, but Chelsea used a more fierce attack, which directly hit back the momentum they had just slightly raised, forcing them to defend.
Chelsea also opened up their attack
This made the Manchester United players a little uncomfortable. Although they knew that Chelsea, who had just scored a goal, would be very motivated, they did not expect that they would choose to attack.
On the field, Giggs broke through the wing, cut into the penalty area and passed the ball to Rooney at a small angle. Rooney forced a shot against two defenders, but the ball was firmly held in the arms of goalkeeper Thomas.
While Rooney was still upset about the missed shot, Thomas had already kicked the ball out.
"Oh, Shit, what are you doing?"
At this time, Sir Alex Ferguson's angry shout on the sidelines made Rooney wake up immediately. He ran back to his own half to participate in the defense with a sympathetic heart.
Frank Lampard received the pass and kicked it to Joe Cole, who dribbled past Fletcher and passed it to Wang Li. Wang Li took the ball through the middle, spotted the gap, and passed it to the Manchester United penalty area.
There was Damien Duff who had just run over. After the Irishman received the pass, he made a surprising small turn and shot directly at the angle. The football hit the left goal post and flew out of the bottom line, making the Manchester United fans in the audience break out in a cold sweat. Goalkeeper Howard was even more scared. He did not stand in the right position just now. If the ball had gone in, he would have been at least half responsible.
"Chelsea's attack is very fierce and their counterattack is very fast. Now the situation on the field is a little tilted. We can see that both teams are trying hard to launch attacks. I believe the scores will be even more exciting later..." At this time, even the commentator of the court TV station realized the situation of the game.
The attack just now lasted only about 15 seconds and it threatened Manchester United's goal. In the Premier League, this is a typical Chelsea-style counterattack. Without a fast central connector and accurate passer, it would be difficult to play such a smooth combination. This is the shortcoming of English-style football. Players often pay more attention to physical rather than technical skills.
As for the team itself, after such a long period of running-in, Chelsea's offensive thinking has become very clear. As the core, Wang Li can dribble and pass. As long as he is on the court, the movement of other players must revolve around Wang Li. This is the offensive routine formulated by Mourinho, and when Wang Li showed his terrifying offensive efficiency in a single game, his teammates were also convinced by this routine.
In fact, it is unrealistic for players in the same position to not have some jealousy. Competition within the team can easily turn into personal grudges. As a striker, many people are jealous of Wang Li's achievements.
However, this kind of jealousy often occurs between players of similar level. For example, the relationship between Rooney and Saha of Manchester United has always been bad. This is because of the competition between the two. When Saha is in good form, Rooney often has no chance. At Chelsea, the competition between many offensive players and Wang Li is of another form.
Wang Li scored too many goals and performed so well.
This made many players feel like they were looking up to a mountain.
When you have 10,000 yuan, you may envy someone who has 20,000 yuan, but you will never envy Bill Gates, because there is no comparison between the two of you.
Now, although the gap between Wang Li and his teammates is not that big, no one is jealous of him because they know that they can't have such high skills or such a stable and terrifying goal efficiency. Therefore, with Wang Li as the offensive core and leader of the team, not only is no one jealous, but everyone feels that the team's efficiency is higher.
………….
Back on the field, Chelsea's counterattack was indeed sharp, which made Manchester United coach Ferguson start to worry about defense.
The old Sir knew very well that it was not a wise choice to fight against Chelsea, and the best choice for Manchester United was to defend and counterattack.
But now that C. Ronaldo is injured, it is really unrealistic to expect veterans like Giggs, Fletcher and others to launch a quick counterattack and score a goal. In fact, even if C. Ronaldo is on the court, Manchester United's offensive speed is not very fast, and it is impossible to achieve the same counterattack speed as Chelsea.
Fortunately, Van Nistelrooy, who recently returned from injury, performed very strongly, which made Ferguson feel a little relieved. In this case, he really had to strengthen the defense.
Therefore, under the command of the old Sir, the game on the field has changed again. Manchester United's attack has slowed down greatly, and they have strengthened their backcourt defense. This defensive counterattack is more of a hope that Chelsea's back line will make mistakes in the continuous attack to give Manchester United a chance, but it is putting the pressure on the opponent.
This choice is unwise, but Ferguson has no other choice. The team's offense has lost its sharpness. Although they can choose to fight hard, the probability of winning is too low.
…………
Just as Ferguson was anxiously directing the team to fight, Manchester United's first scout Gill had received desperate news - in another game, Middlesbrough broke Arsenal's goal with a free kick, and the score became 2:2.
At the same time, Chelsea assistant coach Clark also received the news.
"Arsenal tied, haha, 2:2" Clark said to Mourinho excitedly in the Chelsea coaching booth.
"That Englishman is quite capable." Mourinho smiled nonchalantly, then asked thoughtfully, "I heard that he has been trying to gain support from the media recently?"
"Yeah, in England, he has a positive image wherever he goes. He's almost becoming England's coach ambassador." Clark laughed as he said this.
In fact, in the past month, McLaren has frequently appeared in the public eye. He constantly publicizes his tactical ideas and personnel ideas. He criticizes the mistakes of the Swede Eriksson whenever he has time, especially making a fuss about England's loss to Poland, and also talking about Wang Li's failure to enter the national team. In short, McLaren almost said directly to the English Football Association---
"Sack that Swede and let me be the head coach of the national team. Under my leadership, England will definitely achieve good results."
Speaking of this, Mourinho raised his head and looked at the black-haired figure on the court, and said silently: "It's not bad to change a coach. If Alan can participate in the World Cup in Germany next year, I think he may really become the most famous star."
"My God, Portugal's chances are even smaller then. Don't you care about that?"
Mourinho was slightly stunned and said: "Maybe, but even if Allen doesn't play, Portugal has no chance."
"You still care, right, Jose?" Clark asked, looking at the young man in front of him with a somewhat lost expression. Recently, many Portuguese media have labeled Mourinho as a "traitor". Although Mourinho acted as if he didn't care, Clark knew he definitely cared.
"Hahaha..., I think what I care about most right now is the Premier League championship trophy." When he said this, Mourinho's smile returned to his face.
Clark pursed his lips, silently watched the game on the court, and sighed: "Yes, the champion..."
…………
随着比赛的进行，观众席上，切尔西球迷们的歌声越来越响亮，起初由于球场里声音的嘈杂，还有些听不清唱的是什么，可随着比赛时间的流逝，这整齐的声音却愈加清晰起来：
“嗨、嗨、嗨，蓝色，是我们的梦。
拥有蓝色，我们团结一致，胜利永远是目标。
请一直为我们加油，希望无处不在，
我们的名字是切尔西，切尔西，切尔西，
冠军只属于切尔西
伟大的切尔西”
此时此刻，就连贵宾包厢里的阿布拉莫维奇先生也激动的和球迷们一起唱了起来，很多人说他给切尔西投入更多的是为了名望，但和球队接触这么久，他早已爱上了切尔西。
“来看比赛吧，我们欢迎你，
穿上你的蓝装，看我们的比赛，
大声唱吧，清楚的唱吧，直到我们胜利，
每个人都唱着:切尔西”
“冠军我们是冠军”
而此时此刻，全世界所有支持切尔西的球迷，都不由得为这种气氛所感染，在老特拉福德球场里，曼联球迷的声音已经被蓝军的气势盖了过去。
只要球队的表现好，球迷们的气势也会足
…………
在霍芬海姆球迷们的歌声中，切尔西的进攻也在持续不断着。
现在对场上的球员们来说，却还没到庆祝的时间，他们需要不断的努力，争取让球迷们的庆祝，能一直持续下去。
球场上，切尔西对曼联发起了一波又一波的攻势，现在场上的情况，几乎和下半场开场的时候，完全颠倒了过来，但是曼联队在被动防守中的反击，却打的并不顺畅，足球总是还没经过中线，就又被切尔西拦截了回来。
这在很多人看来有些不可思议了，要知道，现在球场上可是11打10，曼联队比赛切尔西多一人
但是，这种情况却真实的发生着。
而现在真正看比赛的人都能注意到一个亮点，那就是几乎满场飞奔的黑发小子，他几乎是无所不在、无所不能的
此时，王利已经尽了自己全部的努力，他不仅仅在进攻中表现突出，当曼联队拿球的时候，他还会主动回撤参与防守，现在马克莱莱下场，切尔西少了个防守大将，在这种情况下，曼联队的反击很可能直接通过切尔西的封锁，那么就危险了。
为了这场比赛的胜利，王利已经竭尽全力去努力比赛了。
他已经很久很久没这么认真过了，而这场比赛过后，他就能拿到第一个联赛冠军，为了冠军，他动力十足
而此时，全场的蓝军球迷都在唱着歌声来欢庆切尔西的联赛冠军，反而是曼城球迷在疯狂的为王利加油着，每当他拿到球的时候，1000多名曼城球迷就为他大声欢呼起来。
如果说之前，对王利，这些曼城球迷还有些不屑一顾的话，现在，王利已经用自己的表现征服了到此的1000多名球迷，他的表现实在太出色了，即便对切尔西没什么感情，但单单对王利，他们真的是打心眼里信服不已。
全场第七十三分钟，乔.科尔接到王利的传球后，一脚直塞禁区，德罗巴接球转身抽射，被门将霍华德托出了横梁。
这次射门让主教练弗格森很不满，老爵士在场边不断大喊着提醒球员们要认真比赛，他的怒骂声甚至已经成了全场比赛的另一道靓丽的风景线。
显然，现在比赛的形势让曼联球员们多少都有些沮丧了。
作为英格兰最顶级的豪门，却让一个本赛季才崛起的‘英镑球队’在自己的主场嚣张，这种情况任谁都觉得不爽，但投入比赛中的他们知道，这支‘英镑球队’的实力确实要比曼联队强，对方那个21号黑发小子简直就是一个永动机般的超人
一次次的防守、一次次的进攻不利，让曼联球员们都有些想要放弃了，如果不是场边的怒骂声，他们早已经缴械投降了，作为一个职业球员，单单是曼联的荣誉，实在很难打动他们。
仅仅三分钟后，王利大禁区线上反抢成功，一脚低射直接抽在了海因策的腿上弹出底线。后者则呲牙咧嘴的抱着护膝，等半天才缓过来。
这一幕，让曼联球员更是心有戚戚然，尤其是有过这种经历的范.尼，简直就想走到弗格森面前，让他换下自己了。
全场第79分钟，曼联终于获得了一次反击机会，鲁尼凭借速度直接突破了切尔西的防线，面对出击的托马斯，他一脚在大禁区线上的吊门，让很多曼联球迷都已经欢呼出声。
可足球却还是被反应及时的托马斯，奋力跳起从空中摘了下来
“曼联队突破了切尔西整个防线，却突破不了托马斯的十指关这名19岁的小将的表现实在令人惊讶不已，或许他会成为英格兰未来十年甚至二十年的第一门神”BBC电视台的主播断言道。
对托马斯在这场比赛的表现，穆里尼奥已经满意的不能再满意了，可以说，切尔西能赢得这场比赛的胜利，有托马斯一大半儿的功劳，此时，在葡萄牙人的心里，天枰中托马斯的一方已经下沉了很多、很多。
比赛进行到底八十三分钟，切尔西持续不断的进攻，终于收到了回报。
王利在中路连续的带球，惹得曼联的后防大将费迪南德不由得再次把他放倒在地，主裁判莱利并没有出示黄牌，只是给了切尔西一个任意球，这惹得切尔西球员们严重不满，也让穆里尼奥不由得又去第四官员身边唠叨不已。
如果费迪南德能被罚下场，那么切尔西的进攻就好打多了，虽然这场比赛悬念已经不大，但是能再多一点儿机会，谁又会去拒绝呢？
关于由谁来主罚，切尔西根本不存在争议，球队只有两个任意球手，兰帕德和王利，现在只有在王利不主动罚球的情况下，才轮到兰帕德上场，这就是切尔西队内的事实，所有人都认可的事实。
王利接过队友踢来的足球，直接走到了罚球点，这个球距离球迷有24米左右，对他来说是非常近的距离，可实际上，王利并不喜欢这种球，因为位置离人墙实在太近了。
拥有内力加成的力量，20米和30米对他来说是一样的，可30米的任意球，弧线更小一些，所以，也更容易打进。
不过，王利还是稳住了心态，在站在罚球点上，原地舒展了两下，找找踢任意球的状态。
在主裁判吹哨之后，他根本没有助跑，只是看了球门一眼就直接起脚了。
由于王利射门的突然性，门将霍华德根本无法判断足球的防线，球速太快了，人墙刚离地足球已经吊向了球门，霍华德反应过来的时候，也只来的及伸出右手挡一下，但足球却已经旋进了死角。
“1:3，切尔西扩大了领先优势艾伦打进了这个任意球，这是他本场比赛打击的第二球，在84分钟，切尔西两球领先了”
“我们已经可以断定，还有几分钟切尔西就要拿到联赛冠军了他们创造了一个记录，用30胜1平战绩提前7轮夺得了英超联赛的冠军奖杯想想，这实在是个不可思议的结果”
进球之后的切尔西球员们进行了疯狂的庆祝，这不止是为了庆祝冠军，更是有意的在拖延时间……，直到主裁判制止，两队才重新站好位置开球。
不过，此时曼联队已经没多少士气了。
此时，很多蓝军球迷们已经不关系球场上的比赛了，眼看着切尔西第一个联赛冠军近在眼前，他们早已开始庆祝起来。
在赛前提前准备的庆祝道具派上了用场，在打进第二球后，蓝军球迷看台上转瞬间被鲜花和彩片所占满，球迷们在欢呼中也不忘振臂高喊着：“冠军切尔西切尔西冠军我们是冠军”
现在，切尔西两球在手，距离比赛结束也只不到5分钟里，所有人都觉得冠军已经属于切尔西了。
而此时，很多电视台的主播已经开始介绍起切尔西的历史，以及本赛季他们的疯狂表现了。
BBC电视台的解说员就是这样的，电视屏幕还是放着比赛，但解说员开始介绍切尔西冠军队阵容了。随着兰帕德、特里、乔.科尔、马克莱莱、王利等等一个个名字，和他们的经历历程从解说员的嘴里出口，很多不了解切尔西的球迷，也都对蓝军更多了一些了解。
而其他也有些媒体开始介绍切尔西联赛里几场经典的比赛，和阿森纳、曼联、利物浦的比赛更是被重点提及，这些话头里总是离不开王利的发挥，让人感觉在切尔西在获得冠军的路程中，王利起到了不可磨灭的重要性。
During this process, time passed quickly and the game was about to reach the 90th minute. At this time, the game was about to end. Chelsea players were also counting their feet, excitedly waiting for the whistle at the end of the game.
The fourth official held up the extra time card, indicating two minutes of extra time. It was obvious that the referee was also very rational and wanted to end the game as soon as possible.
Just as everyone was nervously waiting for the end, Rooney in the frontcourt completed a steal
Carvalho made a mistake when passing the ball to Terry. Rooney found an opportunity to steal the ball and went straight to the goalkeeper. Facing the attacking Thomas, he still chose to lob the ball, but this time he was much more stable and the football flew into the net without any suspense.
The score became 2:3.
However, this is no longer important. With the whistle for the goal, the whistle for the end of the game also came.
The game was over, and Chelsea players hugged each other excitedly---
"Congratulations, the new Premier League champions are born, they are --- Chelsea"
