West London is worth every inch of land. This is London's financial district. Chelsea Club is located in West London, a prosperous area where celebrities come and go.

Chelsea is not just an ordinary club here. In the era before Abu, the ambitious Bates built the Chelsea village here. Unfortunately, Chelsea's record did not drive their popularity and their income was not optimistic. The Chelsea village, which has a huge business chain, was deserted. It was not until Abu took over Stamford Bridge that he slowly developed and utilized the legacy of the previous era, making the Chelsea village revitalized.

On the top floor of the largest commercial hotel in the village of Chelsea, it was converted into an airport.

On the evening of April 7, Abu's private plane landed here. Surrounded by bodyguards and entourage, the Chelsea boss headed to Stamford Bridge with a calm expression.

Ajax's bus has already entered the West London territory. The prosperity here cannot touch the minds of the players. They are not country bumpkins, Amsterdam is also full of flowers, and Amsterdam has a comfortable weather. London's gloomy sky and humid air will not make them feel too much favorable for this place.

Chelsea's status in England may not have been completely improved, but on this day, Chelsea's attention in England surpassed other local giants!

The reason is very simple. On the UEFA Champions League match day, only Chelsea is the only team left to represent the European team in the Premier League!

Newcastle United ended in the perimeter game unlucky, Manchester United lost to Porto at Old Trafford, and Arsenal was sent back to the league by Ajax, with the only remaining Premier League team. Only Chelsea!

It is precisely for this reason that Chelsea, who returned to London to fight, received grand attention from Fleet Street.

Ranieri's pressure on his shoulders was extremely huge. He has never been favored by Abram. When the league was no longer able to compete for the championship with Arsenal, only one front in the Champions League was left as a life-saving talisman. He knew very well that if the Champions League was eliminated, his fate of being dismissed at the end of the season would not be reversed.

The Ajax generals have a relatively stable mentality.

They have the opportunity to create the team's best record in the Champions League in the past eight years, which means that since the dismemberment of the previous generation of Ajax's King's Army, the substantial achievements of the new generation of the strongest Ajax.

Last year, he fell to the quarterfinals and was already amazing and beautiful, so European football has taken a step further this year. It is only 90 minutes away from the game.

When Qin Xiong walked into Stamford Bridge, he thought he had already understood the atmosphere of the British arena, but he was wrong.

Perhaps it is because of the different groups of fans. In Highbury, Arsenal fans should be "quieter" in the stands than the momentum created by Chelsea fans in the stands.

In the "little" Stamford Bridge Stadium, the fanatical Blues fans hoarsely cheered for the team. When they walked out of the player's passage, they could feel the provocation, excitement, and even humiliation from the fans who could poke out of the stands within a few meters from both sides.

The Blues' flags fluttered in the stands. There was only a small part of the Ajax fans who came to Stamford Bridge. It was not that they were unwilling to follow the team. Instead, there were too few tickets to the away team fans. Just like at the Amsterdam Athletic Stadium, there was almost no way to see many Chelsea fans. There was a strong contrast between the "straight people" advantages of home and away games.

When the players on both sides lined up in the stadium for the opening ceremony, the camera swept through the players on both sides, and each player had a very serious expression, even Ajax, who came to Stamford Bridge with the lead and the league championship aura.

Before the game, Van der Fate and Ibrahimovic kept reiterating that the team should improve their attention.

They don't want things that happened last year to happen again.

Never let go of your guard!

"The second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals at Stamford Bridge is about to begin. Ajax leads Chelsea with a total score of 3:1. This is a gap that cannot be ignored. If Chelsea wants to turn the tables at home, they must score at least two goals! Ranieri's coach position will depend on the result of this game. Although there have been rumors that the Chelsea boss will find a new coach to replace Ranieri, Chelsea senior executives stopped Abu. They advised Abu to wait and see, rashly fire a coach who led the team to the Champions League knockout stage and the coach who entered the Champions League quarter-finals will cause an incalculable blow to the team. The turmoil caused is a price that the team cannot bear. Now, Ranieri's fate has reached the moment of decision. The outside media are unanimously optimistic about it.

It is not unreasonable for Ajax to advance to the semi-finals. Ajax won the championship in the Eredivisie is a foregone conclusion. They can concentrate on dealing with the Champions League. Furthermore, follow up and observe their performance in the Champions League. No one can question this team with youth and immatureness. They reached the quarterfinals last season. They won one and draw against Arsenal in the knockout match this season, and destroyed Chelsea convincingly at home. Will they lose to Chelsea away? Not many people think that Chelsea can do this. Chelsea looks strong, yes, but in terms of overall strength, players such as Sneijder, Qin Xiong and Galasek, who are not as famous as Lampard, Crespo, Hasselbaink, etc., have formed Ajax that is stronger than people imagine!

Compared with the last matchup, Chelsea made a personnel change. Glenn Johnson, who had strong assist ability, replaced Melchiott. Ranieri needed to attack. Everyone on Earth knew that Chelsea needed to score goals, so he needed the team to have stronger offensive strength.

Chelsea starts 442.

Goalkeeper: Kudicini.

Defenders: Johnson, Terry, Galas, Bridge.

Midfielders: Glenshare, Lampard, Marklele, Duff.

Forward: Haselbaink, Crespo.

Ajax starts 433.

Goalkeeper: Lobant.

Defenders: Grigra, Heatinga, Escud, Maxville.

Midfielder: De Jong, Galasek, Qin Xiong.

Forwards: Van der Fate, Ibrahimovic, Sneider.

Well, the game is about to begin, with Ajax taking the lead in kickoff."

Although Ajax's starting lineup and lineup have not changed from the previous game.

However, there have been changes in tactics. They will not launch an offensive radically. After the game, they will focus on being safe and will not be led by their opponents. They will slow down the pace first and drag the overall formation backwards.

In fact, Koeman asked the team to come to Stamford Bridge today to instigate fast break counterattacks in the midfield.

Since Chelsea has to score at least two goals, the opponent will definitely attack or even attack wildly!

Then Ajax should focus on taking advantage of the opportunity after the offense and defense transformation to launch a fast, accurate and ruthless fatal counterattack.

Qin Xiong cooperated with his teammates step by step in the midfield, striving to unify the rhythm of the whole team and quickly enter the game state.

Chelsea mobilized the entire army, including the striker, to press frantically. They needed the ball and needed to race against time to launch offenses, make more offenses, and create more opportunities to score goals.

At the beginning, Crespo returned to Qin Xiong. Although Lampard was active, he did not dare to rush and attack. Once he was broken through by Qin Xiong in the midfield, then what would happen to the offense? The defense line would be in danger first.

Crespo's robbery could not threaten Qin Xiong. He protected the ball 180 degrees and turned around and easily avoided Crespo's pressing, and then passed the ball to Garasek, who had the loosest space to respond.

Ajax steadily controlled the ball with his skilled foot skills and team cooperation.

When Johnson stepped forward rashly to press Sneijde, Ajax launched the first threatening offensive in this game.

Sneider passed the ball back to Maxville, who then passed the ball to Qin Xiong. Qin Xiong made a straight pass through Ibrahimovic. Ibrahimovic passed the ball diagonally in the left side of the penalty area. Sneider counterattacked and got rid of Johnson and shot without hesitation.

Perhaps because of the injury, Lisso, Sneider's shot was a bit outrageous and flew into the stands directly.
Chapter completed!
