Chapter 412 Abu, who left early
Chelsea fans also regained their vitality after the break, and they continued to cheer for their team loudly. Although Chelsea did not play an attractive attack after the start of the second half, they continued to tangle with Mallorca in the midfield.
"English fans are good, and they don't demand that the team play beautifully or something..." Jose couldn't help but sigh. Although Mallorca fans performed well in this regard, they still want to see beautiful games.
Although the two sides were still more entangled in the midfield after the start of the second half, the rhythm of the offense was significantly accelerated - this is also a normal thing. Even if Chelsea plays patiently, the rhythm must be accelerated. For Premier League teams, if the La Liga team slowly relies on technology to deal with it, the result will be very bad, and they must also speed up the rhythm.
Chelsea has an advantage in physical fitness and running, so after the start of the second half, they consciously accelerated the rhythm of the offense and expanded the range of pressing. Each player's running was quite active, which also made them gain the upper hand after the start of the second half!
Duff's forced breakthrough created a corner kick. Mutu's corner kick was cleared by Matthias. Kaka planned to force a breakthrough after receiving the ball in the midfield, but was forced into it by Deselli, who was the first to come, and then cut it down. After the intercepting the ball, Deselli quickly passed the ball to Marklele. Marklele again passed the side to Duff on the left. Duff stopped suddenly and turned around, and then passed the ball to the middle!
Lampard was fucked forward and received the ball! At this time, Mallorca's defensive formation had not been organized yet, and no one went up to defend Lampard for a while. Lampard led the ball forward two steps, and then suddenly took a long-range shot near thirty meters away from the goal!
Mallorca's defensive players did not expect him to shoot far from the distance immediately. For a moment, the midfielders were a little unresponsive. The ball flew into the penalty area quickly, and then a muffled sound rang in the penalty area, and the ball changed direction and flew out of the sideline...
Only then did people see that Matthias fell in the penalty area - he subconsciously blocked Lampard's long shot with his head, which made him feel very uncomfortable - after all, he used his face to block Lampard's powerful shot...
Fortunately, he was smart. When the ball flew over, he lowered his head slightly, allowing most of the power to be taken by his forehead, so he was not beaten to make his nose bleeding, causing it to break. However, his forehead was shaken, which made him faint, which made him fall into the penalty area.
Jose felt nervous when he saw this scene - because Matthias was not a player who would fall down casually, he must have suffered serious injuries when he fell to the ground. Until the team doctor ran to the court and took a look, then woke him up and asked a few questions, Matthias stood up, and Jose was relieved.
"What's wrong with this guy?" Jose asked the team doctor who ran away.
"It's nothing, maybe my brain was shocked a little, there's no big problem." The team doctor replied easily.
"Oh, that's good." Jose laughed, and then joked: "Anyway, the barrier to protecting his brain is thicker than that of ordinary people, so there should be no problem."
Everyone next to him laughed. Jose's words obviously meant that Mathias' brain capacity was relatively small...
But everyone knows that this guy, Mathias, has no brain capacity at all.
Mallorca launched a counterattack, Etoo took the ball from the corner of the penalty area, and then kicked a pass-through and shot. Drogba in the penalty area jumped up and failed to hit the ball. The ball that flew to the back point was confiscated by Ambrosio.
"They are not making any mistakes as substitute goalkeepers, it's rare." Jose said to Natal.
"Italian goalkeeper has always been reassuring, except for that Tebi," Natal said after shrugging.
Seeing that Natal, who was usually serious, began to learn to complain, Jose laughed: "Continue to watch."
Mallorca's bench now has a relaxed attitude. Jose's previous precautions and his relaxed attitude have made them feel relaxed. However, after a few minutes, Chelsea seized an opportunity that was not an opportunity to equalize the score!
Lampard passed the penalty area directly in the backcourt, and Cameni took the initiative to attack, hitting the ball with both fists before Mutu took the ball - however, this time the attack made a mistake, and the ball he shot fell directly to Goodjohansen's feet outside the penalty area!
Before Dacott pressed on, Goodjohansen had already shot the ball directly!
This shot from Goodjohansen, thirty meters away from the goal, controlled quite accurately. Although Cameni ran back desperately after landing, he was already one step slower. After he fell down in a panic, the ball flew into the goal from the top of his head!
The Chelsea fans in the stands were stunned for a moment, and then immediately made huge cheers!
This was an unexpected goal! To be fair, Cameni's attack was not wrong, but he failed to pay attention to the situation outside the penalty area when he cleared the ball and directly hit the ball at Goodjohansen's feet. Goodjohansen's long shot was not dragging at all, and he did not give Mallorca any chance to remedy it!
Jose shook his head helplessly. Large-scale control and timely attacks are Cameni's strengths, but such a practice will inevitably make mistakes from time to time, but sometimes he will lose the ball, and sometimes he will not lose the ball. Since he is used, he has to bear such a price.
However, the current situation is not unfavorable for Mallorca. A draw with a goal away game can be calculated no matter how you calculate it, but what Jose thought was not just a draw.
Facing a Chelsea that is not strong, they feel that Mallorca is invincible in advance, so that Mallorca can play more easily in the next game!
So he made a completely opposite strategy from Ranieri before. He stood up and made a gesture to the field - a firm attack and quickly win the score back!
This is the biggest difference between him and Ranieli. Ranieli is mainly stable because he knows that Chelsea is still in a gap with Mallorca in terms of strength, but Jose has sufficient confidence. He scored an away goal before. Even if he scored another goal by the opponent, he would only lose 1-2 away. In the two rounds of the game, this score is not passive at all, but what if Mallorca scored a goal? Winning away from home by 2-1 basically means one foot to the semi-finals!
Jose can afford to bet, but Ranieri cannot afford to bet! The schedule of the host and then the away is good, so it's good to be here.
Two minutes later, Alonso, who had assisted, tested Ambrosio's reflex nerves with a long shot at the front of the penalty area. Then Mallorca launched two tides of offensives, making Chelsea run around and clear the ball!
Etoo's heels from the edge of the penalty area were cleverly passed the ball to Kaka. Kaka's shot was saved by Ambrosio. Drogba inserted into a volley and shot was cleared by Deselli!
However, the outstanding performance of the Chelsea defenders failed to support them for too long. In the 60th minute, Ram, who had assisted, forced his breakthrough through Gala's defense and made a cross. Eto Audroba also jumped in the middle and attracted the attention of two Chelsea central defenders. Kaka, who was inserted in the back row, threw Bridge away during the run, and directly raised his foot to shoot in the falling ball!
"goooooooooooool! Ka-ka! Scoring twice! He decided this game! With both main strikers being targeted by Chelsea defenders, Ka-ka decided this game with two goals! Terrible Ka-ka, terrible Mallorca! There are always people who can stand up!"
Kaka, who continued to point his hands at the sky, was hugged by two big black men in Drogba Etoo, and almost stopped breathing. Hundreds of Mallorca fans in the stands clapping and cheering while laughing. The situation in the stadium is so funny now, white and black sandwiches...
"Well, it's not suitable for children. Will anyone complain about us?" Jose thought shamelessly in his heart, and cheered with his arms open...
If Abu's face could still remain calm before, his expression is now very ugly - if he doesn't play well, he will still be led by others if he doesn't look good, and if he doesn't look good, he will see who is attacking! What is this Ranieri doing? Why can't I have a head coach like Jose who can play beautifully and win!
Of course, Jose didn't know that a man who was envious and jealous was already in pain. In the following time, he began to command Mallorca's players to retreat and prepare to fight back. The away score was basically enough, and even if he barely attacked, it would only be a waste of physical fitness. Mallorca's illusion of "I can score as long as I attack" must have left a deep impression on the minds of Chelsea players, which is obviously quite beneficial to the next game.
Ranieri, who had no way out, replaced Parker and Mutu with Joe Cole and Crespo, successively, and strengthened his attacks. However, now he is very disgusted with Abu. He doesn't like him. He is behind you and you still change forwards? Send a few more forwards to the field to strengthen the attack and can die...
Jose replaced Beletti with Campano to strengthen the defense. In the following time, Chelsea created many opportunities, but was saved by Cameni, who was annoyed by the mistakes, including Goodjohansen and Crespo, volleys in the penalty area one by one. Mallorca was not without a chance. Ambrosio's attack mistake gave Drogba the opportunity to hit the empty goal, but Drogba's shot was cleared by Terry, who was returning to the defense at the goal line.
When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Chelsea fans could not hide their disappointment - the result of losing one-to-two at home makes it difficult for them to play away. Although it draws the team's best record in the Champions League, it seems that it is just a draw, and it is unlikely to break the record...
“It was a great game.”
Although disappointed, Ranieri maintained his demeanor. He walked up to shake hands with Jose: "You concealed it well. Although I was prepared, I didn't expect that the goal could be scored so quickly when the wing attack was attacking."
"There is a component of luck." Jose nodded: "If it weren't for Gala's protrusion, maybe our first goal wouldn't have come so quickly."
"Our goals also have luck, and the defensive players' mistakes are inevitable." Ranieri shrugged: "But there is still a second round, we won't give up easily."
"I haven't lost at my home court." Jose laughed haha.
Ranieri shook his head, then let go and left. As he walked into the player passage, he looked up at the box above the stage. Abu, who was originally there, was no one there.
