His hands were stretched out, and all the strength of his body was concentrated on those powerful arms.
He only has football in his eyes, and he wants to turn that almost impossible save into a reality.
The trajectory of the ball seemed to have locked Cech's goal, but at the last moment, Cech used all his strength to save the ball.
His body drew a beautiful arc in the air, and then fell heavily to the ground.
The moment the ball was saved, the air in the entire stadium seemed to freeze, followed by deafening cheers.
Cech lay on the grass for a while, then slowly stood up, his eyes looking into the sky full of determination and pride.
He knew that he had just completed an almost impossible save and finally kept the team's goal intact.
Terry also took a deep breath of relief at this moment. He almost became the sinner on the back line, albeit passively.
In the 49th minute, Essien, who has always been known for his stability, actually made a mistake when controlling the ball. McGrady of the Spartan team immediately grabbed the ball and kicked it out. The football flew to Kombalov on the left.
Kombalov took the ball and saw that Ivanovic had already stepped up. He moved to the left of the center several times and found that he couldn't get rid of Ivanovic's following. In addition, there was a big man Fan in front of him. Dyke, he had to find another way.
At this time, he also caught a glimpse of a red figure on the right out of the corner of his eye.
Having made up his mind, he made a cross kick.
Williton Suarez stopped the ball with one kick, adjusted in two steps, and finished the shot before Terry could grab it.
Still, the shot of the football was influenced by Terry.
In order to have his shot blocked by Terry as much as possible, Williton may have wanted to shoot with a falling leaf. However, after the football was shot, it flew straight into the sky and did not complete the step of falling.
Kombalov also sighed with regret. His ability to pass such an opportunity has already given Chelsea a great threat.
Then, Cech took a goal kick and the football was grabbed by Sparta players again.
This time it was their defensive midfielder Ibson. He took the ball ahead of Toni Kroos with one step, and passed the ball straight into the frontcourt without making any adjustments.
The football was passed directly to the area behind Essien. Seeing that he was about to face Essien and Terry, Brazilian forward Ali Da Silva directly chose to touch the ball and knocked the ball to the right winger. McGrady.
McGrady stopped the ball steadily, then moved the ball forward, one step ahead of Ashley Cole and completed a rub shot from the right side of the penalty area.
The football flew towards the far corner of Chelsea's goal with a strong spin.
The crowd at the Luzhniki Stadium had already started cheering. It was difficult for the goalkeeper to defend such a shot.
McGrady was full of confidence at this time. His eyes were widened, watching the flight path of the football, looking forward to the moment it hit the net.
However, the appearance of a pair of big hands shattered his expectations.
Chelsea's last line of defense, Petr Cech, relied on his transcendent performance to securely score McGrady's shot with a sideways dive.
After landing, Cech rolled a few times on the ground and quickly hugged the football tightly in his arms.
At this moment, the stadium suddenly became quiet. Cech's performance was really terrifying.
Then after just a breath of pause, Chelsea fans who came from all over the world burst into loud shouts.
"Cech's performance was outstanding."
"This kind of defense is equivalent to Chelsea scoring one more goal."
"Hey! Chelsea like this is really scary. There are super players in every position."
"And there's more than one person. Rotation and injuries are not big problems."
"At the beginning of the season, Ancelotti said that he wanted all the titles and we thought he was exaggerating. Now it seems that he was just telling the truth."
"Hehe! That's not necessarily the case. The cruelest devil's schedule has not yet begun. Chelsea has already injured nearly ten people. Whether injuries will continue to occur in the future is difficult to predict."
"Yes, what a club, even a wealthy club, fears most is widespread injuries, which will only strain the head coach's formation."
The discussion between the two commentators did not affect the action in the stadium.
Cech stood up and threw the ball to launch a counterattack. De Bruyne and Toni Kroos cooperated with ease in the midfield, allowing Sparta's midfield five to serve as a perfect backdrop.
After passing the center circle, Toni Kroos once again sent a through ball into the Sparta penalty area.
Anelka also started instantly and was about to have another single chance before the end of the first half.
But this time, Su Qi gritted his teeth and stepped forward. He tried his best to fall down and stretched his legs as much as possible. His feet were almost straight. Finally, his toes lightly touched the ball.
The football had a slight change in direction, and it was this change in direction that caused Anelka to miss the opportunity to get the ball.
The attacking Dickan made a forward rolling save to win the ball, and Anelka missed the opportunity to continue to expand the score.
In the 57th minute, Chelsea had a goal kick and Cech handed the ball to Terry.
Terry broke through with the ball, but because of the running of the Chelsea midfielder, no one came to defend for a while.
This was because he did not regard himself as a threat. Terry simply continued to move forward until the frontcourt was about 30 meters away from the gate, and then Parea came up to block it.
As the iron-blooded captain, Terry was not used to his opponents, so he simply kicked out from outside the penalty area and fired a long shot.
This shot was powerful and heavy, but unfortunately, the arc of the ball was a little outward, and the ball finally missed the goal.
Although they are still three goals behind, none of the Spartan players chose to give up.
In the 60th minute, Ibson passed the ball to Kombalov with a diagonal pass.
Kombalov caught the ball in front of the penalty area. After shaking continuously in front of Van Dyke, he suddenly kicked off and volleyed.
His shot roared towards the Chelsea goal with strong winds.
Perhaps it was blocked too tightly by the big man Van Dijk. Kombalov's shot was too direct. Although it was powerful, it was still secured by Cech.
In the 63rd minute, Sparta's attack came again.
Ibson, McGrady and Kombalov cooperated quickly in the frontcourt, and finally Ibson completed a powerful volley from outside the penalty area.
This shot combines power and angle, and is absolutely impossible for ordinary goalkeepers to defend.
Unfortunately, Chelsea has Cech, and the football is held by Cech with one palm.
Cech stood up and clapped his hands continuously and shouted to Terry and Van Dijk. He felt miserable. Even if he was really a "goalkeeper", he couldn't stand such a torment. His teammates should give some strength and express the blockade. Bar.
