Chelsea players are proud.
When they saw that the media and public opinion put them on the same level as Malaga, almost all Chelsea players were unhappy.
Yes, Chelsea also rose because of Jinyuan Football.
But they started to rise ten years ago. Although they are not considered "old money", they are not a traditional giant.
But it’s much better than Malaga anyway.
At least.
Chelsea once dominated the Premier League.
Malaga?
What cattle and horses in Malaga.
Are you worthy of being on the same level as us?
That's what the contempt chain is.
Even if they are all cows and horses.
There are also differences between high-level cattle and horses and low-level cattle and horses.
When players from both sides come out.
Chelsea's players held their heads high and looked very high-spirited.
Ye Luoke felt his opponent's fighting spirit.
However, he didn't care.
This is a game related to who can enter the semi-finals of the Champions League.
no matter who.
You won’t take it lightly!
The game begins.
Chelsea won the kick-off and launched an aggressive attack.
For Chelsea.
They can't counter-attack low like they do at home.
Because after being tied one to one at home, Chelsea had to score at the Rose Garden to avoid being eliminated.
The first minute of the game.
Chelsea completed a very threatening shot in the frontcourt.
Lampard's long-range shot from the arc of the penalty area was refracted as it hit Matteisen's thigh, grazed the post and went out of the bottom line, knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger.
This shot also set the main tone of the game.
The game started less than a minute ago.
Chelsea got a corner kick.
This time in the corner kick attack.
Terry, Gary Cahill, Drogba and other high points showed Chelsea's advantage in high-altitude balls.
Drogba jumped high and beat Demichelis to hit the goal with his head.
The football stuck to the crossbar, hung on the top of the net and went up out of the baseline.
The shaking of the net made many Malaga fans' hearts beat.
The Rose Garden stadium was filled with exclamations.
After everyone saw clearly that football had reached the bottom line, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Chelsea created threats in two consecutive attacks.
Pellegrini couldn't sit still anymore. He stood on the sidelines and pointed his hands at his temples, signaling the players to calm down.
"Drogba!! Oh oh oh! Almost!! Beautiful!! Chelsea players are very motivated and they quickly got into the game!"
England's commentator said excitedly.
This is what they want to see.
Chelsea got into form early.
This is likely to leave Málaga on a shaky footing.
If a goal can be scored as soon as possible, Chelsea can tie Malaga's away goals, which is very beneficial to Chelsea.
"Chelsea looked very excited in the opening stage. Malaga must be more energetic!"
In the commentary box.
Andres, the commentator of Corbe Radio, frowned slightly.
Lampard, Drogba, Mata, Kalou and other players.
Chelsea's offense is actually not much weaker than their defense.
On the sidelines, Chelsea's acting head coach Di Matteo was very excited.
He clapped his hands vigorously and praised the team's offense this round.
Before the game, Chelsea's strategy was to start with an attack!
The total score is now a one-to-one draw.
Cue an away goal for Malaga.
So for Chelsea, scoring goals is a must.
Chelsea were also eliminated in a zero-0 draw.
They must get away goals to offset Malaga's away goal advantage.
Chelsea's attack is so fierce now.
This made Di Matteo quite excited.
After eliminating Malaga to enter the semi-finals, they entered the semi-finals.
Chelsea even have a chance to get involved in the final championship.
Won the Champions League title as acting head coach.
Just thinking about it is exciting enough.
Under Chelsea's fierce attack.
Malaga's goal was eventually lost.
The 12th minute of the game.
Mata cuts inside and crosses into the back post.
Drogba leaped high and passed the ball to Lampard who advanced into the penalty area.
Lampard's arch shot!
Caballero did everything he could. He quickly got down to the ground and subconsciously blocked the shot with the handle of his foot.
But when the football bounced back into the penalty area, it happened to land in front of Drogba.
Warcraft Drogba was not polite about this.
He took a step, pressed Demichelis behind him with his strong body, and then pushed the ball into the empty goal with the arch of his foot.
"Lampard shoots Drogba!! Beautiful!!!"
shouted the England commentator in the commentary box.
"A goal worth thousands of dollars!! The total score is 2-1 for Chelsea, and they also scored an away goal!!"
"Drogba! It's still Drogba! The veteran Drogba started to show off his power as he entered the knockout stage!!"
"This strong body still works!"
"Demichelis was crushed by Drogba in a power confrontation!"
Drogba was extremely excited after the goal, and the Chelsea players celebrated wildly in front of the boos in the Rose Garden.
"In the twelfth minute of the game, Chelsea scored! The total score. Chelsea leads 2-1!!"
"Now it's Málaga's turn to have a headache. Their away goal advantage is gone and they conceded a goal at home, which is really bad."
“Malaga is in trouble!”
Andres, the commentator of Corbe Radio, said with a frown.
"From the beginning of the game, Chelsea entered the game earlier than Malaga!" he said, shaking his head.
"Malaga must cheer up and can't keep conceding goals now!"
"Drogba is too much of a threat and must be restrained."
Say so.
But it is too difficult to restrict players like Drogba.
The opponent's body is too strong, and sometimes this physical advantage is almost unreasonable.
Pass the ball into the penalty area, and others can squeeze out of the way to gain space for shooting.
Otherwise, players like this type of center are hard to come by.
Malaga's players were also a little confused, and Chelsea's offensive was a bit difficult for them to withstand.
Moreover, after losing the ball, the players will inevitably have some ideological disunity. Some players are eager to attack and equalize the score.
Some players may argue that Chelsea's offense is too strong now and they should avoid its edge first.
As Chelsea players celebrate.
As the captain, Ye Luo needs to complete the task of stabilizing the team's thinking and gathering the consensus of the players.
Football is a team sport.
If everyone does not have the same idea and is scattered, then the ball will not be played.
"Don't be anxious. They are attacking very hard now. We don't want to press forward rashly. We need to pull back first, defend solidly, and see how they play. If they continue to press forward, we will hit them to counterattack. If they pull back, there is still game time. There are quite a few, and the important thing is, don’t rush and take your time.”
Ye Luo said loudly.
"What about them taking it back?" a player asked.
Yelo looked at Chelsea's coaching staff on the sidelines.
If Chelsea's coach was an authoritative head coach like Mourinho, then Chelsea might really shrink back after scoring a goal.
but now.
The one who has the final say in the Chelsea dressing room is not acting coach Di Matteo, but their team committee bosses.
So in this case.
Chelsea will most likely seek to pursue the victory!
"I don't think so. If it were me, I would definitely continue to pursue the victory." Ye Luo said.
"Yes, Chelsea will definitely not waste their offensive momentum and choose to shrink immediately."
"Their coach is not Mourinho."
"I heard that at Chelsea now a few dressing room bosses have the final say."
"Then they will definitely continue to attack!"
"Counterattack! Let's fight their counterattack!"
Soon, the Malaga players came to a consensus.
Let’s solidify our defense first.
Although conceding a goal at home.
But because there are locker room leaders on the court who can walk the talk.
Malaga did not panic.
After the game restarts.
Chelsea, who scored the goal, chose to pursue the victory.
They continued to press the attack.
However, Chelsea obviously made specific and targeted arrangements for defense in this game.
Malaga's counterattack did not go very smoothly either.
Especially the defense against Yello.
As soon as Yelo caught the ball, he was pulled to the ground by Mikel.
In this game, Chelsea's principle is to focus on the big and let go of the small, freezing all possibilities for Yelo to receive the ball.
Defensive players are basically ready for tactical fouls.
The goal is to commit a foul at the first opportunity, when Yello might get the ball, to disrupt Malaga's counterattack.
As long as Malaga can't counterattack, they will have to face Chelsea's iron-clad defense.
Just like this time.
After Mikel fouled.
Chelsea's players all returned to their own half.
A solid defensive system was established.
As a result, it becomes much more difficult for Malaga to score goals.
The referee only awarded a foul and did not give Mikel a yellow card.
This made the Malaga players quite dissatisfied.
"This is a tactical foul! Isn't there a card?"
"You are allowing them to commit a foul!"
For a while.
The Malaga players were all looking for an explanation from the referee.
Ye Luo got up from the ground.
He pinned the ball to the ground.
Prepare for free throws.
He has seen many such scenes.
In the simulation arena.
He will be targeted like this often.
So his mentality is as stable as an old dog now, and he will not get angry because of one or two fouls by the opponent.
and.
In Ye Luo's view.
The opponent can only block Malaga's attack in this way, and they are already inferior - except for fouling, they have no other way to stop themselves.
and
This time the foul was committed some distance from the goal.
What about next time?
Ye Luo was not anxious at all.
There is still plenty of game time.
Instead, Mikel came over and performed.
He apologized again and patted his chest to signal to the referee.
Enough drama.
Give the referee the impression "I didn't mean this foul".
After apologizing to Yello, Mikel retreated to his defense zone.
But after seeing the calmness on Ye Luo's face.
Mikel's eyes flashed with a bit of regret and admiration.
Regrettably.
He did not arouse Ye Luo's anger or make Ye Luo feel anxious or spread his hands.
Admire it.
A young man of nineteen years old.
Emotional management is so powerful.
It stands to reason.
A player was fouled continuously and was pulled to the ground before he even got the ball.
You will definitely feel angry, anxious, and helpless, and your mouth will definitely be dirty.
But Ye Luo didn't.
He is calm.
this person.
terrible.
He's almost like a robot.
His technical performance was completely undisturbed by emotion.
Chelsea's defensive strategy was originally intended to anger Yelo in this way.
Better to make him lose his mind.
But now it seems.
This strategy failed.
Mikel received a verbal warning from the referee.
But Malaga's offense did not end because of this foul.
Ye Luo was under great pressure.
Because no matter where he gets the ball, Chelsea's defensive players will stick to him, using their hands and feet to block his possession of the ball, even if they commit fouls.
Defense against Yello.
Chelsea is completely "fighting for every inch of land"!
Card passing lane.
Upper body.
Confrontation.
If things go wrong, foul immediately.
Ye Luo will never be given a chance to face the goal head-on.
Of course.
Chelsea's defensive strategy did not come without a price.
That is giving Malaga a lot of free kicks, as well as physical fitness!
As the game progresses.
Málaga, playing at home, gradually changed from passive to active thanks to Yello's efforts.
Started to get more offensive opportunities.
and
Yelo also began to intentionally drive up the team's offensive rhythm, speeding up the team's offensive rhythm, and mobilizing Chelsea's defense through faster attacks.
Only in motion.
Chelsea's defense may have holes.
Twenty-third minute of the game.
Ye Luo was pulled to the ground again.
But this time he got up immediately.
Stop the ball and kick it out!
Quick free kick!
Determined not to let Chelsea's foul interrupt Malaga's offensive rhythm.
Maintain a smooth offensive rhythm and continue to put extreme pressure on Chelsea's defense!
The price Chelsea pay for fighting for every inch of ground is their physical fitness.
They have to constantly move quickly.
At the same time, you must also maintain good discipline and defensive aggressiveness.
Any stagnation in attack is an opportunity for Chelsea to regain blood.
Malaga's offense was led by Yello.
The rhythm is getting faster and faster!
As the absolute core of the team.
He cannot be afraid or flinch.
Even if you are trapped in a tight situation, you must raise your hands and demand.
Even if you get kicked over and over again, you can't hide in a safe area.
He has to constantly appear in dangerous areas, keep picking up the ball, passing the ball, and running.
The core of the team.
Not just in status.
It also means responsibility.
in this case.
He must set an example and lead the team out of trouble.
Running.
Yello received the ball again.
He tried his best not to stop himself and avoid giving the opponent a chance to foul.
While running, Yelo did not stop the ball, but directly passed the ball diagonally to Isco on the wing!
Make full use of the width of the court to mobilize your opponents.
Let your opponent run too.
During this process.
The greater the chance that Chelsea's defense will have holes on the move.
After passing the ball.
Ye Luo continued to pull horizontally, and then suddenly thrust diagonally.
The first thing Isco looked at after stopping the ball was Yello's position.
really.
As soon as he looked up, he saw Ye Luo's running route.
Pass the ball diagonally back to Ye Luo with his right foot.
Ye Luo happened to be in position to catch the ball.
However, around him are Chelsea players.
They were less than three meters away from Ye Luo.
Once Yello stops.
will be surrounded.
so.
Yeluo once again did not choose to stop the ball.
Instead, the outside instep of his left foot moved the ball toward Joaquin, who was receiving the ball in front of him on the right.
With these two left and right crosses.
Chelsea can only shrink.
Ye Luo really wants to focus on defense, of course it is.
But that doesn't mean they dare to boldly allow other Malaga players to gain too much space.
Everyone is a professional player.
Not an amateur player.
Once there is an open shot opportunity.
No matter how powerful Cech is, it is difficult to defend such a big goal.
When Joaquin received the ball, Chelsea's defense also shrank back.
He did not choose to do it himself, but continued to do it.
Pass the ball to Cazorla.
Cazorla saw Yello's position before receiving the ball.
He faced the ball and kicked it out!
The football came to Ye Luo's feet.
In such a state of running and hitting the ball continuously.
Chelsea wanted to foul but couldn't seize the opportunity.
Yello is like water flowing in the gaps between Chelsea players.
Let Chelsea not catch him.
The run, the pass, the pace.
During this process.
Ye Luo's core role is fully reflected.
When he got the ball again.
Ye Luo could feel the oppressive wind behind him.
but.
Before the other party could rush forward.
Ye Luo pushed lightly with the arch of his foot.
The football was at Ruud van Nistelrooy's feet.
"nice shot!!"
In the commentary box, many commentators were shouting.
"Malaga played a continuous ball game, especially Yello's through ball at the end! Van Nistelrooy's chance!"
Van Nistelrooy received the ball from the side of the goal.
He stopped the ball on the outside of his right foot and then put Gary Cahill in front of him.
He is also under a lot of pressure and must handle the ball as quickly as possible.
Whether it's passing or shooting.
Because there are already Chelsea players rushing forward.
Ruud didn't look up. He stopped the ball briefly and then hit the ball with his heel.
He believes in Ye Luo's speed!
The football rolled between Gary Cahill's legs.
at the same time.
A figure quickly rushed into the restricted area.
"Ye Luo!!"
to the exclamations of the narrators.
Ye Luo goes straight into the penalty area! !
"Single sword!!"
The commentators jumped to their feet and stared at the court.
Ruud van Nistelrooy and Yelo's passing and running were just right. Yelo's direct penetration suddenly broke away from the defense and led the ball into the left rib of the penalty area!
Cech pounced.
Yelo was already ready to shoot after leading the ball in.
boom!
Right foot volley!
The football jumped into the air and flew over Cech's head.
Cech did not expect that Yelo would suddenly shoot at this time. He just instinctively raised his hand and the football passed through his fingertips.
brush!
When Cech turned to look.
What he saw.
It is the corner where the crossbar and uprights meet from the near corner.
Got into the goal!
