Chapter 380: 3 goals in 5 minutes!
Although Jose Mourinho was very dissatisfied with the performance of Chelsea players in the last minute of the first half, he did not yell at them during the halftime break.
"You should play according to the game tactics. If you continue to play like this, you won't win."
Mourinho knew this, even in a rage, his mind was still clear. The team was behind, but the game was only halfway through, wasn't it? AC Milan was very strong, but the first half of the game had proved that the long pass and Wang Li's personal ability could completely restrain AC Milan's regional blockade defense chain.
Thinking of Wang Li, Mourinho's mood improved a lot. He was most satisfied with Wang Li's performance in the team. Although this black-haired boy was very capable, he was very obedient, and who wouldn't like a star who could always score goals?
After thinking about it, Mourinho smiled and said to Wang Li: "Alan, if the defense in the frontcourt is too tight, you can step back a little, get the ball and then attack."
"You" Mourinho suddenly frowned and pointed at Drogba. The Ivorian Magic Beast touched the back of his head and stood up. In fact, Drogba had almost no performance in the whole first half except for assisting a ball, and he also wasted 2 chances. This heavyweight weapon was indeed a little weak in the face of the defense of AC Milan's veterans. "It's you, you better stay in the penalty area, don't always run to the sidelines, your task is to attract the defense..."
Drogba nodded in understanding, but he was still feeling dissatisfied.
Not only Drogba, almost all the players in the locker room were secretly discussing the difference between Mourinho's attitude towards Wang Li and Drogba was too obvious. Even though their performances in the first half of the game were very different, this different treatment still made the players feel a little unbalanced.
However, they dare not speak out or express any objection.
Who made Wang Li perform well and score so many goals?
There are several players from the privileged class in every locker room, and in the Chelsea locker room, Wang Li is the boss of the privileged players. Even captain Terry cannot catch up with him in this respect. At least the head coach will not give him a good face when he is unhappy.
"Ricardo, just sit on the bench and watch in the second half."
After calling out Drogba, Mourinho started to criticize Carvalho. In fact, in recent games, the former Porto player has not performed very well. In this game, his activity and performance on the field are not even as good as Wayne Bridge. Although Mourinho believes in his ability, he can't help but always play like this. Now is the most critical time of the entire season. Chelsea can't afford a failure, and they don't have the capital to pay for Carvalho's poor performance. "Geremi, I will let you play in the second half. Your task is to get the ball and find an opportunity to pass it to the penalty area. Understand?"
"Oh... OK, boss, no problem... I mean definitely no problem." Hearing his own name, Gremi stammered in disbelief.
Since Robben, Duff and Joe Cole have been performing stably, he has completely become a second-line substitute. Not to mention the current game that is related to Chelsea's Champions League progress, even in ordinary leagues, he rarely has the opportunity to play. Now in this game against AC Milan, even if he is included in the big list, Geremi has already prepared to sit on the bench for 90 minutes.
The other players also saw from this substitution that the head coach was determined to maintain the tactics. Replacing a defender with a midfielder was an obvious intention, and Geremi's long passes were also among the best in the team. Now the team's formation has almost become 352, and its purpose is naturally to supply ammunition and give Wang Li and Drogba in the frontcourt more opportunities to shoot.
After arranging the tactics for the second half, Mourinho walked out of the locker room. Only at this time did the players start discussing the game with each other.
…………
Compared to the dull atmosphere in Chelsea's locker room, the atmosphere in the visiting team's locker room on the other side was much more lively.
"Gattuso, you bully the newcomer too much. That Dutch boy is so unlucky, haha" Pirlo.
"Sheva, you have to score more goals, I have already scored one," said captain Makelele.
"Come to think of it, the black-haired guy on the other side is really powerful." Kaka.
"That's nothing. What's the use of a person being so powerful..." Stam.
…
In the noise, it is not difficult to hear that most AC Milan players are now full of confidence in the game, and they also have a little disdain for Chelsea. In the 45 minutes away from home, the score was 1:2, and it is no wonder that they thought "they are not opponents".
In fact, they were still a little nervous before the game against Chelsea.
Think about Chelsea's record this season. In addition to the tie with Manchester City at home, they won 30 league games and directly won the Premier League trophy. They also maintained a perfect record in other competitions, even in the Champions League, they won all 6 group stage games and easily defeated Barcelona to get a ticket to the quarterfinals, which is also impressive.
Even for AC Milan, it is not easy to agree to Barcelona led by Rijkaard.
But now, this tension has disappeared as the game progresses.
What will Chelsea do?
If you ask this question, most AC Milan players can directly say: "I can pass the ball and lob it."
In the first half, Chelsea scored a goal against AC Milan with a long pass, so they recognized the opponent's tactics, but as for other cooperation, they were completely useless.
But do you want to rely on this single offensive method to beat AC Milan? This is almost impossible.
Just look at the first half, we scored two goals and they only scored one.
This is the gap, the naked gap
Although Ancelotti kept reminding the players to stay calm and be careful in the second half during the halftime break, most people did not pay much attention to it.
In this mood, time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye the two teams were back on the field, and the fans in the entire audience were excited again.
…………
After the game resumed, the situation of the two teams did not change much.
AC Milan still insists on the tactics of half attack and half defense, which is the so-called balance between offense and defense, while Chelsea relies entirely on long passes in offense and all players return to defense in defense. From this point, it can be seen that Chelsea's tactics are much easier than AC Milan's for the midfield and backcourt players, which is also the reason why the tactics are too simple.
At this time, Wang Li had been running back and forth near the penalty area line, watching the fight in the backcourt while looking for an opportunity to receive the ball. As long as the ball could be passed to his feet, the chance to score would come. Now Chelsea was the lagging side, and Wang Li couldn't wait to score a goal to equalize the score.
In the second half, in order to limit Wang Li's performance, AC Milan specially sent Kaladze to cooperate with Nesta. The two of them marked Wang Li together, and the captain Makelele, who was exhausted, was substituted.
Although there were two defenders following him at all times, Wang Li felt that Nesta was still the biggest threat. The world's top defender posed a great hindrance to him. However, Kaladze was much different. Perhaps it was because he had just come on the court and he felt a little contemptuous. There were two times when Wang Li ran randomly, but the defender did not keep up, which made Wang Li look down on this kind of opponent.
In the second minute of the second half, Wang Li shook off Kaladze and ran quickly from left to right along the penalty area line. At this time, Lampard passed the ball from the backcourt.
While receiving the ball, the full-back Cafu also rushed up. The Brazilian captain was very fast. He bent his body slightly, but his body in his 30s was like a swift black panther. He had a ferocious expression and wanted to attack Wang Li together with Nesta. This predatory action might scare many players.
Because of Wang Li's stop, Kaladze behind Nesta also followed. It must be said that Kaladze was not completely useless. At least his running position was very good. He was directly stuck behind Wang Li, which made Wang Li's left and right sides and behind him be attacked from three sides---
So, tens of thousands of fans in the audience seats of Stamford Bridge saw the next scene. They also realized that it was so easy to break through the three-sided defense.
Facing the falling ball, Wang Li turned slightly to face Kaladze, and at the same time raised his left foot slightly from behind, which made the ball land directly on the heel of his left foot and bounce up. Many people thought that Wang Li made a mistake in stopping the ball, and even the Blues fans in the audience sighed, but the next moment, the ball flew over the heads of Wang Li and the other four and flew towards the AC Milan goal.
At the moment when the ball passed over everyone's heads, Wang Li started
At this time, all the AC Milan players who followed the field knew what it meant to be fast, chic and elegant.
In short, you can't use adjectives to describe the shocking scene on the court.
The fans clearly saw the moment Wang Li started, using a few extremely simple and handsome moves to calmly pass between the bodies of Kaladze and Stam. Logically speaking, passing between the two people would definitely hit one of them, but in the eyes of the fans, Wang Li's movements were so reasonable that this scene did not happen. He did pass through. At this moment, the so-called "the ball does not pass through" theory was completely invalid for Wang Li.
After Wang Li passed Kaladze and ran two steps forward, the football fell at his feet in due time. He stepped on it with his right foot and raised his left foot to shoot directly.
Brazil goalkeeper Dida had no reaction
It happened so quickly that the process from receiving the ball to shooting was only less than 3 seconds. Many people didn't even react in time. Even Ancelotti on the sidelines was staring blankly in the direction of his own goal.
"Beep..." The referee reacted the fastest. He blew the whistle at the right time to indicate that the goal was valid.
But the entire Stamford Bridge was silent at this moment. Almost 3 seconds later, Creed Pesvak in the live broadcast studio woke up all the Blues fans with a roar.
Following this roar, all the Chelsea fans in the stadium reacted immediately and cheered loudly at the same time. Happiness came too quickly.
"Alan's shot was amazing. He used only one move to get past three players including Stam, Cafu and Kaladze, and then shot the ball easily. Goalkeeper Dida had no reaction. I have to say it was really amazing. I was still expecting Allen not to lose the ball in the first few seconds, but the score changed a few seconds later. It's incredible."
Several AC Milan players involved were even more shocked.
If someone had said before the game that someone could get past the three of them without losing the ball, they would have absolutely not believed it. But that black-haired kid No. 21 easily passed the three of them with one kick. After experiencing this scene in person, they realized how incredible it was, and it was a serious blow to their self-confidence.
Among them, Kaladze is particularly outstanding. He is only 27 years old. Compared with the other two, his game experience and skills are simply incomparable.
So, his self-confidence has been severely hit.
But all this had nothing to do with Wang Li. After casually hugging his teammates to celebrate the goal, he immediately returned to the center circle with the ball. Everyone knew what this meant - Chelsea and Wang Li were not satisfied with the current score, they still wanted to score.
But most of AC Milan's players didn't care about this. They were still recalling the goal they had just scored. After all, it was so amazing.
Especially the young Kaka, as the best newcomer in Italy, he has always thought that he is the best young man in the world. But now seeing the opponent's No. 21 black-haired boy, he even has a feeling of "Since there is Yu, why is there Liang?" Although he does not know this sentence, it does not prevent him from having this feeling.
But the game did not allow them to think too much. The players of both teams took their positions according to the referee's instructions. Shevchenko and Crespo were in the center circle, and the football was at Crespo's feet.
Wang Li stood a little behind the center line, his eyes fixed on the football under Crespo's feet. The score was now 2:2, but for Chelsea, who were playing at home, this score was not satisfactory. Wang Li certainly would not be satisfied either. Now he was extremely eager to score a goal.
Is there anything better than beating up one of the world's top clubs, AC Milan, in front of tens of thousands of Chelsea fans?
He stared at the ball closely, exerting his inner strength to the limit, ready to enter the game at any time.
With a whistle, the referee signaled that the game had started again.
As the whistle sounded, Wang Li suddenly started
In the center circle, Crespo casually passed the ball to Shevchenko next to him. The Ukrainian raised his right foot to meet the ball, and he wanted to use his heel to knock the ball to his teammate.
But when he knocked the ball, Shevchenko found that he couldn't touch the ball.
'Mistake?'
At this moment, Shevchenko looked down in confusion, but there was nothing under his feet. With the two actions just now, his body became unbalanced and he fell forward. Then he heard the laughter of the Chelsea fans in the stands.
At this time Shevchenko was still confused. He supported his body with his right arm and looked around, only to find that the ball had reached the feet of Chelsea players.
…………
After hearing the whistle, Wang Li immediately took a step forward and rushed towards Shevchenko. The latter was obviously careless. When Wang Li used the "Shadow Kick" to break the ball from his feet, he was unaware. Then Wang Li passed the ball to Drogba behind him and rushed towards the backcourt of AC Milan.
However, he did not run directly towards the goal, which was obviously unwise.
At this time, AC Milan's half was full of players wearing red and black striped jerseys. Wang Li didn't think he could catch the ball while being surrounded by so many players, so he changed direction while running and ran sideways from the left to the right.
When running without the ball, his speed is absolutely unmatched by ordinary people. At least three AC Milan players followed behind him, but they had no way to deal with Wang Li's disorderly and fast running.
While running, Wang Li did not forget to stretch out his right arm to ask his teammates for the ball.
Finally, when approaching the left side of the penalty area, the ball came over. This time it was Robben's pass. In fact, the Dutch boy's long pass was not accurate, but this kick was very good, and the ball landed directly in front of Wang Li about one meter.
With so many defensive players behind him, Wang Li didn't even think twice and just swung his foot and shot.
At this time, he was about 31 meters away from the goal, which was a very far distance, but with this force, the football was like a cannonball and rushed directly towards the AC Milan goal.
The shot came too suddenly.
This made Dida feel at a loss even after he reacted, and the speed of the ball was too fast. He jumped hard to the left to meet the ball, but he still couldn't touch the ball. The football passed between his hands and flew directly into the blind corner of the goal.
"The ball...goes in again"
"Oh my God, 3:2, Chelsea took the lead, and within 2 minutes, Allen scored another goal and performed a hat trick"
This time, the surprise came faster, and the Blues fans felt a little confused and at a loss, but when they reacted, they burst into even louder cheers.
Compared to the fans, AC Milan players were even more at a loss. They even felt like they were living in a dream. The team was leading by one goal just a moment ago, but now they were one goal behind. This huge difference between the two was really difficult to adapt to.
But they had to adapt even if they were not used to it. Just as AC Milan was in a daze, the game started again.
AC Milan was attacking, and Kaka was probably shocked by the two goals just now. He was dribbling the ball but was neatly intercepted by Makelele, who passed it directly to his teammate next to him.
After several passes, the ball reached the feet of Geremi, who had just come on as a substitute in the second half. The Cameroonian followed the instructions of the head coach and kicked the ball into the AC Milan penalty area without hesitation, just because there were two Blues players there.
Facing the flight trajectory of the football, Wang Li silently used his inner strength and jumped up with all his might using a "flying technique". Before Stam could reach him, he lightly touched the football and the ball flew directly towards the AC Milan fans.
Heading is not Wang Li's strong point, and the speed of this attack is not fast, and the angle is not tricky, but AC Milan has Kaladze---
The Italian defender, who was eager to make a contribution and fight for a starting position, jumped between goalkeeper Dida and tried to head the ball out of the penalty area, but he missed.
The football hit Kaladze's head, changed direction and flew towards the right corner of AC Milan's goal.
Dida was stunned and had no reaction.
The football crossed the goal line and flew into the AC Milan goal again. The dull sound of it bouncing on the ground was like a hammer hitting the hearts of every AC Milan player, making their hearts ache.
