Torres immediately rushed into the penalty area and seized this fleeting opportunity. Facing Neuer, he did not choose to shoot directly. Instead, he used a deft dribble to pass Neuer and then pushed into the empty goal!
"The ball is scored! Torres!" He Wei immediately shouted excitedly.
"This is the sense and skills of a top forward. Torres caught the flaw in Schalke's defense! He played this ball very smartly. He knew that Neuer's defensive range was very large, and he calmly chose to pass Neuer. The goal was empty. Torres has been getting better and better recently. I think if we enter the final, Chelsea will definitely have the ability to compete for the championship." Zhang Lu explained Torres' goal to the audience.
"The referee Velasco just put the whistle in his mouth, but Xiao Yu passed the ball out, which was beneficial to the offense. And with such an inconspicuous opportunity, Torres helped Chelsea change the score. This is often the case in life. , a casual little thing is often a turning point of fate. A seemingly ordinary goodbye is actually a farewell! The fate ended abruptly at that moment. I hope the Schalke 04 players can work hard to stand up in the second half, otherwise, They are destined to miss Wembley." He Wei is known as the "football poet", and he explained such a goal to the audience very poetically.
"We saw that the referee first ruled that the goal was valid, and then showed a yellow card to Matip. As a result, both Schalke 04 center backs received yellow cards, and now they are one goal behind. The situation in the second half was very different. It’s really worrying for them.” Zhang Lu sighed.
"I guess Rangnick is under a lot of pressure right now!" He Wei joked.
"Hehe! That's for sure!" Zhang Lu also said with a smile.
After scoring the goal, Torres happily rushed towards Xiao Yu. At this time, Xiao Yu had just been pulled up by Matip.
The two hugged each other excitedly. In today's first half, it was indeed difficult for them to play.
But fortunately, they scored first, and the second half will be smoother for them.
Beep! ~Beep beep! ~
Just after Schalke 04 kicked the ball out, referee Velasco blew the whistle at the end of the first half.
At this time, the big screen in the stadium already showed 49 minutes, and the two minutes of stoppage time had already been exhausted. Torres' goal was also recorded in the 47th minute, which was indeed a half-time victory.
Entering the locker room, on Chelsea's side, Ancelotti praised Xiao Yu and Torres' last-minute goals.
Schalke 04 is not as happy as Chelsea. They are lagging behind at home, which is not good news for them.
Head coach Rangnick walked up to Atsuto Uchida, frowned at the young player, and reprimanded him seriously.
"Uchida, your defensive performance today is very poor." Rangnick said coldly, "Xiao is completely unaffected by your defense. He is simply flying freely on the court. What is going on?"
Uchida Atsuhito lowered his head and said nothing, his eyes shining with unconvinced light.
"Remember! Xiao is an important part of their offense. Whether we can guard him is the key to whether we can win." Rangnick continued, "I know you are very confident in your abilities, but you also have to admit that you shortcomings, so that we can better improve ourselves.”
Uchida Atsuhito finally spoke, with a hint of Chuni in his tone, "Coach, I admit that I have not done well enough. But please believe me, I will use my own way to affect the game."
Rangnick looked at Uchida Atsuto and couldn't help feeling helpless. He knows the potential of this young player, but also knows that he needs more experience and training.
"Well, I expect you to show a better performance in the second half of the game." Rangnick said, "Don't let your confidence turn into arrogance. What we need is your strength, not your rhetoric."
Uchida Atsuhito nodded silently, his eyes shining with determination.
Xiao Yu didn't know that he was deeply hated by this young player, but even if he knew, Xiao Yu would probably just laugh it off.
After all, since he came to this world, he has continuously scored goals, and there should be many people who hate him.
To use a popular European saying - Who cares!
Shortly after the start of the second half, Schalke 04 made personnel adjustments.
In the 53rd minute, Kluger came on as a substitute for Baumjohn.
Zhang Lu commented: "This is Schalke's attempt to change the situation on the field. It seems they want to strengthen their offense."
Not long after Zhang Lu finished speaking, Schalke 04's offense had achieved results.
In the 57th minute, Chelsea originally launched the attack. Lampard made a precise pass from the midfielder. Torres immediately started to prepare to receive the ball and complete the shot.
But Neuer reacted quickly and cleared the ball into the frontcourt with a big kick before Torres.
Zhang Lu praised: "Hey! Neuer is really brave and talented!"
"I was beaten by Torres and conceded a goal in the first half. Now you dare to attack like this. It's really impressive!" He Wei also said.
However, at this time, the situation on the court suddenly changed!
Neuer's big-footed clearance passed the center circle and was firmly caught by Raul——
"Raul!"
"This ball is caught really firmly!"
"Oh! It's over!"
"David Luiz didn't tackle!"
"Aha! Single-handed ball!"
"What a chance for Schalke!"
"Cech strikes!"
"The hanging door!"
"Oh my God! The ball went in!"
"Raul equalized the score!"
"The two teams are back at the same starting point again!"
"This is really a world-class lob. Raul's experience and skills are fully demonstrated at this moment!" He Wei said excitedly.
"Although Raul is 34 years old, he still relied on his rich experience and excellent skills to pass David Luiz, and then scored a clever lob alone. This goal is really exciting. Maybe the players from both teams didn't expect that they would get such a script." Zhang Lu also explained excitedly.
"Neuer's performance today was also a plus. In the first half, Chelsea was denied several must-goals with high passes. Although he still conceded goals in the final stage, this assist made up for the goals conceded in the first half. "
"The atmosphere on the court was instantly ignited. Both sides are back on the same starting line. The next game will be more intense and exciting!"
Raul's celebration is still his classic kissing ring.
Xiao Yu also sighed helplessly: The Lord of the Rings is indeed not a cover-up.
Chelsea kicked off, and Xiao Yu handed the ball to Toni Kroos behind him and quickly sprinted forward. After Cross received the ball, he saw Xiao Yu making the gesture they had agreed upon before the game.
The young German midfielder raised the corner of his mouth and thought to himself: Let me show you Brother Yu's special skills!
