All members of Chelsea gathered together in a circle and bent their heads to touch each other. Captain Azpilicueta loudly encouraged his teammates.
"Brothers, we were not optimistic about us from the beginning. We have already reached the semi-finals. If we defeat the enemy in front of us, we will see the Big Ears Cup!"
"I know that brothers are very tired and their bodies have reached their limits. The spirit will lead you to the top, break through yourself, and complete the tasks of the coaching staff. Come on!"
"come on!"
Everyone chanted together, and before kick-off, the captain was tossing a coin with the opposing captain to choose a side.
Ren Jie stood on the court and sorted out his thoughts. This year, he was even busier and no longer as leisurely as he was at Leicester City.
He will be busier and busier in the future, and his mind can't stop. Looking back now, he has lived a more wonderful life in the past two years than in his previous life.
The star that he could only see on TV before was right in front of him. He even beat Messi. He never dared to dream about this before.
He hasn't met Ronaldo yet, and he can even imagine a day when the two of them can live in peace without taking action.
He doesn’t know much about Ronaldo, specifically what he learned from the media. Ronaldo is a person who has a strong desire to win and is extremely self-disciplined and wants to win all games.
He is the same, so he is called sharp. On the court, he has a defender character. Generally, only defenders can constantly provoke the opposing players like this.
He still remembers the first time he met Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi in his previous life. He was a person who came into contact with football relatively late. At that time, Gerrard and Lampard had all retired, and Mbappe Haaland was a rising star. Just about to show up.
At that time, it was the heyday of Melo's fame. Even if you didn't know football, you knew Melo.
My ears are full.
The feeling is unattainable, the reputation of the two people is like that of seniors who have been retired for many years and are respected by people.
When Ren Jie saw the two of them on the World Cup stage for the first time, he suddenly felt that the distance between them was getting closer.
The feeling at that moment was that they were still playing football, and I was the one who had watched Melo play. I can tell others in the future that I have watched Melo play.
This is a supreme honor. The two of them are still playing football. You can think of them retiring in the future. You brag to young people. Back then, I watched Melo play. That was called playing football. What a shame. Feeling good.
Then Ren Jie has actually met Messi now, and this feeling has become even closer. I have played with Messi and even defeated him.
At that time, Ren Jie said something to his friends, "I don't know if anyone is like me. No matter what sport, I never like the best one, I just like the person who has the hope of catching up with the first place!"
"Basketball, I like Adu, Curry, and Harden, but I don't like James. In fact, I also liked James when Kobe was here!"
"Football likes Neymar, Modric, and Premier League teams, but I don't like Real Madrid! I hope one day someone can shake the status of the two unparalleled champions, and a team can shake the status of Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Bayern!"
"I'm a boring person. I don't have any domineering spirit. Who doesn't like powerful people? I just like those who are suppressed!"
The friend shook his head, "It's really not the case. This is called a challenger's mentality. This is absolutely unwilling to accept it! If you were asked to be the first one one day, would you be willing?"
At that time, Ren Jie shook his head, "It's quite boring!"
"Then if you were given the opportunity to challenge for first place, would you be willing?"
"willing!"
"That's alright. It's not called cowardice. It's not called lack of overlord bearing. Don't forget, even overlords don't succeed! But everyone loves overlords!"
Ren Jie raised his head and looked at the court. Higuain had already sent the ball. Ren Jie grinned and ran forward, "I want to go to the finals and lift the Big Ears Cup in Moscow to tell the world that the Melo era is over." Got it!"
"Hahahaha, what do you call a boy? This is a boy!" Captain Azpilicueta responded with a laugh.
"He farts, I am definitely the one who wants to end the Melo era!" Azar said unconvinced.
"Are you a little too disrespectful of us as human beings? Did you beat us? Just go to the final?" Higuain also shouted.
Buffon waited until Ren Jie ran in front of him, and all the Chelsea teammates behind him were preparing to block his teammates. He kicked the ball away with his big foot.
I really didn't expect that Chelsea came up and pressed them from a high position.
This is obviously not in line with Chelsea's style of play, and the facts prove that this is the case, and the pressing can only last so long.
Chelsea soon returned to defending in their own half.
The two teams have not played against each other as much as Dortmund.
Both sides were still in the testing stage. After only two attacks, Juventus lamented that Chelsea's defense was indeed too strong.
Chelsea's defensive linemen are not actually very capable individually, but they work together as a team, dominated by the spiritual leader of azp, their tough style, and the complementarity between teammates.
If one person loses his position, the other person can immediately make up for it. If you don't have the ultimate passing and control like Barcelona and the tacit cooperation of the front three, you will never face an empty goal in a positional battle.
The opportunity to get a chance is less than a second.
In turn, Chelsea counterattacked, and Diego, a hexagonal warrior, could do anything in the middle.
Hazard is on the left, you have to invest a lot of troops,
In this way, Ren Jie on the right got a chance. Fortunately, this kid was quiet during this period and did not show any amazing performance on the field.
But this kid has all the basics, especially his speed, which is a weapon for counterattacks, and his passing allows him to accurately find defensive weaknesses.
There is also dribbling, so that others cannot grab the ball from him, and you want to grab the ball under his feet, unless you can predict his breakthrough.
This guy gives you the feeling that he really doesn't have much ability, but he has a few key abilities that are really difficult to handle!
If you send one person to guard him, as long as he is not one of the top defenders today, you will definitely not be able to guard him. If you line up two people, it is a bit wasteful.
In fact, Chelsea is such a team. Every position is not the strongest, but neither is it weak. If they are put together, it will be difficult for you to handle.
In the 33rd minute of the game, Chelsea had a chance to counterattack. After Hazard broke through, he was flanked by two people and passed back to Matic. Matic kicked the ball to Ren Jie who was advancing forward. Ren Jie took a step and directly hit the ball. in front of the door.
This pass was all done with care, and it is a pass that every player crossing the ball from the wing must learn.
Between the goalkeeper and the defender, the goalkeeper is still a little far away from attacking and may be pushed directly into the empty goal. The defender may get an own goal if he stretches his foot.
The goalkeeper also has to worry about his opponents and his teammates. He must be fully confident, attack by himself, and tell his teammates to leave it to him. But if it fails, his teammates don't stretch their feet, and the opponent scores the ball, the goal will be lost. It's all his responsibility.
These still need to be judged in an instant, and the human brain cannot react so quickly.
