Chapter 84: Taking down the Blues

Lao Lei was very satisfied with the team's performance in the first half, so at the beginning of the second half, he did not make any adjustments to the Tottenham lineup. But Ancelotti was very dissatisfied with Chelsea's performance in the first half. At the end of the intermission, he made two consecutive personnel adjustments, replacing Ferreira who made a mistake in the first half with Ivanovic , replaced Joe Cole with Anelka, and at the same time let Zhirkov and Malouda move a little later, changing 352, or 3142.

As a result, Ancelotti's three substitutions were all used up at the beginning of the second half. This is very unfavorable for Chelsea's response in the second half, because once something happens to the players on the field, Ancelotti will have no way to change.

The consequences were highlighted before the second-half whistle was blown.

After the fourth official made a substitution sign and Ivanovic and Anelka came on the field, the referee hadn't blown his whistle, but Drogba was accidentally injured, but Ancelotti had no substitutions in his hands , the Ivorian can only stay on the court and persist, otherwise Chelsea will fight with ten people throughout the second half.

Ancelotti's brows were all wrinkled. He really didn't know how long Drogba could last, and how much strength he could display on the court. If he can't hold on at some point, leaves early, or if he can't play his strength, then Chelsea's game will be over. Similarly, Chelsea's road to the championship this season has almost come to an end.

………………

Ancelotti was obviously not the only one affected by Drogba's injury. The mood of Chelsea's players also fluctuated. Under such circumstances, they performed very poorly in the first few minutes of the game. situation.

Tottenham took advantage of this opportunity and made several threatening shots in a row.

In the 50th minute, the two generals on the Tottenham striker line cooperated. The tall Pavlyuchenko made the wall for Defoe. He jumped out of the bottom line.

Bale's corner kick was cleared by Chelsea defenders, but the clearance was incomplete and was intercepted by players outside Tottenham, and then the ball was passed into the penalty area. Pavlyuchenko's half-volley ball from the right side of the penalty area Missed.

It wasn't until eight minutes into the second half that Chelsea stabilized their position, but they managed to move the ball to the frontcourt, and Anelka kicked it into the stands, ending the attack in a hurry.

The overall passivity on the field made the Chelsea players a little angry, and the game gradually became more active.

In the 55th minute of the game, Huddlestone dribbled forward and was knocked down by Lampard, but the ball was pressed by Huddlestone. Deco rushed over to stab Huddlestone from under him. He took the ball, but kicked Huddlestone in the stomach, which made Huddlestone very annoyed. He got up and pinched Deco, and the scene fell into chaos instantly.

The chaos ended with Huddlestone and Deco each receiving a yellow card, and the referee Dodd chose to play 50 boards to both sides.

Tottenham sent a free kick from the backcourt, and the offense was quickly blocked by Chelsea. Chelsea took advantage of the situation to attack. Drogba was limited in running after being injured, but he still played the role of a bridgehead. He passed the ball to Malouda. , Malouda took advantage of the situation to break into the penalty area, but missed the goal and the ball missed the post.

Tottenham continued to suppress Chelsea and continued to create threats. One of the biggest threats was a pass from the right back Kabul who assisted and sent out after going down the bottom. Pavlyuchenko received the pass before the point,

He turned around and hit the goal, but was saved from the bottom line by the brave Petr Cech.

………………

Under the pressure of Tottenham, Chelsea's defense went wrong, captain Terry misjudged the line of the ball, allowing Pavlyuchenko to break through him.

Because once Pavlyuchenko is allowed to pass, it will be single-handedly, and this single-handedly is still in the middle. Pavlyuchenko can make many choices, and the threat is too great. Stabbing a free kick in an excellent position, he also got a yellow card.

Bell came to take the free kick. Bell had scored many goals through free kicks before, so the Chelsea players seemed a little nervous, and they were all ready to fight.

But Bell is using Ashley Cole's experience card today, the free kick ability has not been added, it is only Bell's own level.

Although Bell's free kick level has been greatly improved in the past few months due to the continuous use of free kick expert experience cards, and he already has the demeanor of a free kick expert, but he is still far behind the real top free kick expert In the end, his shot went slightly wide of the goal.

………………

Although he received a yellow card for this foul, it prevented the opponent from scoring a good opportunity, which made Terry greatly relieved.

After all, if the team trails by three goals in the sixty minutes, then there is really no chance at all.

However, Terry soon lost his joy. Because after three minutes, he fouled, and it was the opponent's foul after breaking through him!

This time it was Bell's breakthrough on the left flank. In front of the extremely fast Bell, Terry's speed and reaction were very slow. Seeing that Bell was about to enter the penalty area, Terry chose to pull Bell to the ground in a hurry.

However, he regretted it the next moment, because he remembered that he had only received a yellow card three minutes ago.

Sure enough, when Terry cast his eyes on referee Dodd, he saw him running towards him with his hands in his trouser pockets. And when Dodd came to him, he also had a yellow card in his hand.

Dodd showed Terry a yellow card, then pulled a red card from his pocket and waved it at Terry.

Terry didn't make much excuses. Like the foul just now, as long as the referee is not blind, it is impossible to escape a yellow card. He just silently took the captain's armband off his arm, walked up to Lampard, and put it on his arm. Then he patted Lampard on the shoulder, turned his head and walked to the sidelines.

Terry knows very well that now that the team is behind by two goals and he has been sent off again, Chelsea must have no chance in this game. Even the league championship this season is almost out of reach for Chelsea.

Terry felt that he was stupid, and he said that he would gain wisdom by taking a fall, but he actually received two yellow cards in almost the same way in just three minutes. What was going on in his mind just now?

Other Chelsea players did not bother with Dodd either. Terry's foul just now was too obvious and his intentions were too clear. Fouls and cards are inevitable.

In fact, the Chelsea players at the moment are a little desperate. Facing the championship opponent in the away game, two goals behind, the captain was sent off, how can this game be played? How can this championship be fought?

………………

In the next ten minutes, Chelsea, who was in a mess, was completely suppressed by Tottenham in the half-court friction. Although Ancelotti chose to pull Deco back to the back line, fill Terry's position, and let Chelsea change to 342, but the disadvantage in numbers is too fatal, and the opponent is a team with active running like Tottenham. Chelsea players are a bit exhausted one by one. And their defense is also ringing alarm bells, and there is a lot of panic in the penalty area.

First, Bell used a free kick to test the Chelsea players, followed by Defoe, Pavlyuchenko, Modric, Bentley and other Tottenham frontcourt players took turns and sent a wave of seven shots.

I have to say that Chelsea is really a team with extremely strong resilience. Under the disadvantage of numbers and the absolute disadvantage of the situation, although their defense has always been shaky, they have held Tottenham. Wave after wave of attacks did not let the goal fall again.

Even, when the game was close to 80 minutes, they took advantage of Tottenham's opportunity to catch their breath after a period of strong attack, and formed three threatening attacks. However, the attacks of Ivanovic, Drogba and Alex failed to create too much threat.

However, when Tottenham regained their breath, and at the end of the game, when they attacked again, Chelsea fell into a passive position and almost lost the gate again.

This time, it was Bell who made a breakthrough on the left and cut inside. After reaching the edge of the penalty area, he found that Chelsea's defensive attention was on him, and Pavlyuchenko near the penalty spot in the penalty area was in a sheep-herding state, so he chose decisively. pass the ball.

However, what made Bell almost vomit blood depressedly was that Pavlyuchenko was completely unprepared for Bell's pass, and he missed an excellent chance to score.

………………

After this attack, seeing that there was not much time left in the game, Tottenham also slowed down the pace.

However, no one expected that the game would usher in a real climax after entering stoppage time.

In the 92nd minute, Chelsea scored a goal as the game was about to end in a minute!

This was a sudden attack by Chelsea, taking advantage of the laxity of the Tottenham players before the end of the game. Ballack sent a pass to find Lampard near the penalty area line.

For such an opportunity brought to his mouth, the magic lamp will naturally not let it go, and a shovel shot easily sent the ball into the goal that Gomez handles.

After tying the score to 1:2, the Blues saw the hope of tying the score and launched the whole team to fight after kick-off. However, the Blues were at a numerical disadvantage after all. This desperate style of play did not bring goals, but almost conceded another goal.

Tottenham made a steal in the backcourt, and then Modric assigned it to the left. Bell rushed forward at high speed after receiving the ball. Coupled with Pavlyuchenko and Defoe who advanced in the middle, Tottenham formed a three-on-one in the frontcourt. situation.

However, Pavlyuchenko seemed to have forgotten to wear shooting boots today, and he missed Bell's cross again near the penalty spot.
