Seeing Ranieri hugging Lampard ecstatically, Jose shook his head. It seemed that Ranieri had a great prestige in the locker room, and Lampard was also a person who knew how to be grateful. When he was at West Ham United, he was just a midfielder. However, after Ranieri strongly introduced him to replace the meritorious veteran Poyette as the front midfielder, his performance really reached a level. At the beginning, he used a not-so-famous midfielder to replace the Uruguayan, who was known as the strongest attacking power in the Premier League.

Poyette (this nickname is not a false name. In his four seasons of playing for Chelsea, he scored double-digit goals in three seasons, and his first season of transfer to Tottenham also scored double-digit goals, which was one of the top attacking midfielders in the Premier League at the turn of the century), Lampard has been criticized for being a big critic because many of the tenacious goals, Boyette is a player that Chelsea fans like very much. His condition did not decline when he left Chelsea, which made Chelsea fans not very understanding.

However, Ranieri's persistence in using developed Lampard's offensive talent, which made him turn from a rookie to an England international in one fell swoop. Lampard is indeed a person who knows how to be grateful. This can be seen from the fact that Abu and Mourinho had a conflict in later generations, but he always stood on Mourinho's side - not every player has the courage to go against the boss for the coach, so that his relationship with Terry was not particularly good later...

Jose has no chance to have conflicts with the chairman, so he doesn't know whether his players will be so loyal to him, but this does not hinder his appreciation of Lampard.

But in this situation, no matter how much you appreciate, Jose still has to defeat this team in order to allow Mallorca to continue moving forward!

Chelsea, who was attacking frantically, only took six minutes to score a goal, and this goal made them settle down - now they only need another goal to equalize the total score, and if they score another goal next, it will also make them more beneficial!

This mentality has allowed Chelsea players to retain hope again. In the next game, they will welcome this game with stronger fighting spirit and look forward to the moment of the comeback!

Mallorca launched a counterattack, and they immediately caused a melee in Chelsea's penalty area. Deselli barely poked the ball out of the penalty area, but the ball flew to Kaka's feet. Kaka took the ball horizontally and then suddenly took a heavy shot to the goal!

The ball flew towards the goal, and then made a muffled sound. Marklei, who returned to the penalty area, blocked Kaka's long-range shot with his chest. The ball flew out of the baseline at a diagonal line, and Marklei also fell to the ground!

It is common for Marklele to use his own body to block the opponent's shot, but this time the blocking was too hasty, and the ball hit him just now, which almost knocked him out of breath. The team doctor ran into the court and massaged Marklele before he recovered.

Marklele's desperate obstacle this time is just a microcosm of Chelsea's defense. Five minutes later, another Chelsea player fell down - this time it was Glenshare who was replaced in the midfield. Ram's long shot after breaking through happened to hit Glenshare's head, and the team doctor entered the court again...

Jose looked at the time and it was now the 72nd minute of the game. If Mallorca could withstand the remaining twenty minutes, then he would be able to enter the semi-finals, but can he really withstand it?

The characteristic of the Italians is that they can tolerate being pushed to the 89-minute hit and decide the winner within one minute. The later, Chelsea's physical advantage will become more and more obvious. Chelsea's offensive ability is not bad, and no one knows whether they will equalize the score in the last minute.

Ranieri didn't think about scoring three goals in the second half. He now put his treasure in the last ten minutes of the game. If he scored two goals into overtime, it would not only be a physical advantage, but also psychologically they would also have the upper hand!

This is a tough team. Although Mourinho has brought them souls, Ranieri has laid a solid foundation for them. Four years after they lost Mourinho, they still won the Champions League in extreme harsh circumstances. Jose will never despise this team!

Thinking of this, Jose turned to look at the bench and called out the names of the two people.

"Andres, Fernando, go warm up."

Torres and Iniesta took off their coats at the same time and rushed out of the bench quickly. This action naturally failed to escape the broadcasting scene: "Oh! Torres and Iniesta are warming up! What do Jose want to do? Is he going to replace two offensive players? He is so... so confident! You know that even if they lose one goal, it's just that the game is entering overtime. It seems that it's not time to burn the boat."

"Do you have to go all out?" Jose smiled coldly. He never liked to replace people in a passive situation. All he had to do was to set the victory ahead of time!

It will be dangerous to defend like this, and launching an attack can reduce the pressure on the defense line. For Jose, he has only one choice!

A team needs soul, and Jose gave Mallorca the soul that he would rather stand and die than live cowardly. Chelsea is indeed a team that already has its own soul, but Mallorca, who has been trained by Jose for three years, also has such a soul!

It is precisely because of this that after seeing Jose replace Dakot with Iniesta and then replace Etoo with Torres, the players on Mallorca know what Mallorca's task is now - that is offense! Offense! Continuous attack, and completely lay the victory!

If Mallorca can score another goal, it will not only expand its advantage again, but also break the balance of the entire game - that is, the game will never enter overtime! To decide the winner, the winner will be decided within 90 minutes. This is also what Jose thought of, and the best way to offset Chelsea's physical advantages!

Maybe Mallorca will be dragged down by Chelsea in overtime, but within 90 minutes, Mallorca can still compete with the opponent in any case!

After Ranieri saw the two substitutions made by Jose, he was first shocked and then happy!

Although Mallorca's strengthening of offense will increase the pressure on Chelsea on defense, it will also increase the possibility of Chelsea making a contribution in counterattack. Dacott's fate will weaken the intensity of Mallorca's midfield defense, and reduce the resistance to Chelsea's counterattack!

So he immediately used up his third substitution quota, Mutu replaced Duff, who was already unable to run, and increased his counterattack ability and personal dribbling ability in the frontcourt.

In this case, a forward with personal counterattack power would be a good choice.

Jose's substitution against Ranieri was as if he hadn't seen it, just waved his arms on the sidelines, allowing the players to press the attack!

Old Alemani in the box above the stadium stand was already very nervous. His fat body couldn't help but lean forward, and he looked at the situation on the court carefully.

Abu, who was sitting in the same box with him, was also very nervous at this time. Even though he didn't know much about football, he knew that this situation was a moment of life and death!

Abu brought two bodyguards in the box, while Alemani did not have that big pomp, but it is obvious that Mallorca now has a much more status than Chelsea - the world of football is not just about having money. If a club wants to be respected, in addition to being rich, it also needs to have championships and honors! Chelsea also won two Premier League championships in a row and maintained competitiveness in the Champions League before gradually removing the hat of the nouveau riche. Chelsea fans sang in the stands "We are fucking rich" in the stands, which is certainly a counterattack against others, isn't it a self-deprecating self-deprecation in helplessness?

Abraham and his Chelsea still have a long way to go. Fortunately, Mallorca is not a team that suddenly has a large amount of money and becomes stronger. After Jose took over, he invested a lot, but Mallorca's status was established with his shrewd vision and excellent command. This position is of course more easily recognized in the football world.

After Torres and Iniesta took the field, Mallorca's offense became more and more fierce. The two new forces began to bear most of the offensive responsibilities. Iniesta organized more balls and then raided, and Torres also kept running and involved the opponent's defensive power. With these two new forces present, Mallorca's physical fitness and fighting spirit disadvantages gradually became less obvious.

Matthias, who was in the attack, made a long shot, but failed to hit the goal frame. Then he quickly returned to defense and blocked Lampard's long shot with his body in front of his goal. Two more minutes passed, and the game gradually approached the last ten minutes.

Iniesta got the ball in the middle, faced with Maclale's press, he turned around and passed the ball to Kaka, and then ran forward by himself. Kaka quickly handed the ball to Iniesta, and then Iniesta kept sending the ball out of the pass. Torres accelerated and grabbed the ball in front of Terry and then directly shot. The ball was blocked by Terry for a while, and Cudicini attacked and got the ball.

"Iniesta and Torres are very active after playing. These two new forces are constantly threatening Chelsea's goal... However, Chelsea's defense is still very tenacious. They only need one goal to drag the game into overtime. Now it seems that Jose is unwilling to let the game enter overtime... This is a very wise choice, because Chelsea gave up in the last round of the league, and their main players are all resting, while most of Mallorca's main players participated in a fierce game, and Jose looked very far..."

"It's true. Now it depends on whether Mallorca can score the goal that breaks the balance. If Mallorca can still score, the game will be decided within 90 minutes instead of delaying to overtime. Ranieri was playing this idea from the beginning, and Jose was trying to avoid this situation... The two coaches' grasp and judgment of the general trend are indeed worth learning."

During the discussion between the two commentators, time leisurely reached the 80th minute of the game, and the final ten minutes of the final game finally arrived.
