Ball king grower

London! This ancient city seems to be full of life and vitality again. Various slogans and banners promoting the Champions League are hung on the trees on both sides of the street.

Even many stores have posted signs related to the Champions League, and some clothing stores have begun to carry out promotional activities for the Champions League. When it comes to joining in the fun, Westerners are actually no worse than the Chinese.

Because on the same day, two teams in London are about to compete in the Champions League group stage. One is Arsenal and the other is Chelsea. Both teams have high hopes from the entire English people, so they hope to see

Two wins.

Media from all over the world have gathered in London. It seems that this ancient city has become more lively than usual. You can see reporters everywhere with microphones interviewing some fans along the way.

Although the Champions League is different from the World Cup in that it is held every year, its influence is increasing year by year. In the eyes of professional football fans, the Champions League represents the highest competitive level of football, while the World Cup is more of a symbolic meaning and a

A grand festival.

In this strong Champions League atmosphere, the game between Chelsea and Bayer Leverkusen, a game that should not have been the focus, has become the focus of attention around the world.

The reason is simple. Those who hate Chelsea hope that Chelsea will be eliminated completely, and then they can celebrate with a beer. Who makes Chelsea have such an arrogant Lin Yu and such an arrogant Mourinho?

Those who like Chelsea hope that Chelsea can defeat Leverkusen in this game, show their true strength, and take the initiative to advance in their own hands.

The media's attention has not affected the players' condition. As the main forward in this game, Lin Yu is full of confidence. When he was interviewed, he said that this game must be won, and must be won.

Otherwise, he will slap himself in front of the media.

This is his pressure on himself. It is a strong hint to himself. He is afraid that he will give up and become lazy, so he must be tougher on himself before he can really get into the game.

After listening to Lin Yu's words, Chelsea fans naturally became more confident. They also believed that Lin Yu could score goals. They believed that Lin Yu could help the team win. After all, Mourinho was back. He was sitting on the sidelines, paying attention to every moment.

players, paying attention to this game.

However, their opponent Leverkusen seemed to have grasped Chelsea's eagerness to win, and they set up an iron barrel formation to deny Chelsea a chance to score.

To be honest, Mourinho's team does not have many ways to break the dense formation. Unless it is the individual performance of the players, it is difficult to get the ball into the penalty area and create excellent opportunities.

So almost forty minutes have passed in the first half, and the score on the field is still 0:0. Although Chelsea's offensive is overwhelming, they just can't penetrate Leverkusen's goal. Hyypia seems to have studied Chelsea's goal in detail.

The game is videotaped, so I made corresponding tactical arrangements. Today’s game is definitely not easy to win.

"Now that the game is going on, Chelsea has the advantage, but they still can't score. Leverkusen's defense is very tenacious! But I'm not worried, Chelsea has the advantage of home court. In addition, Lin Yu may break out at any time.

With the superstar effect, scoring goals may only be a matter of time, but I am more worried about the rough and frivolous Lewis. I hope he will not make mistakes just because he has not scored for so long. That is not a good thing."

"In this game, Louis was partnered with Varane as central defender. Although Varane has strong defensive ability, he lacks experience after all. Unlike Terry, who can wipe out Louis' defensive mistakes in time, this requires Louis to be more attentive.

Go and do what you should do. This kid is obviously a defender, but he has the heart of a forward. I really don’t know how he chose the position of defender when he was playing football."

Mourinho couldn't sit still on the sidelines. Although he also had confidence in his players, he couldn't afford to lose this game. He shouted to the court many times, just to let the players pay attention not to just care about

Attack and forget about defense, because Leverkusen's offense is still very powerful.

"Jose, you are too nervous!" The assistant coach is also an old friend of Mourinho. He came over and patted Mourinho on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"No, I'm not nervous." Mourinho shook his head.

"You said you weren't nervous. Look, your brows are about to turn into a flower. In fact, why are you so worried? You should believe them. They are champion players, and you are a champion coach. If even Leverkusen wins

If not, how can we talk about winning the Champions League in the future?"

Mourinho loosened his grip on his hand and took a long breath. He was indeed a little overly nervous. His suspension had just ended. He hoped that he could change Chelsea's embarrassing situation of losing the Champions League. To show such nervousness was not a good idea.

It is also excusable.

"Others say that Chelsea can't be offended in the second half. In fact, I think this makes sense. Most of Chelsea's players have very good physical strength. And have you noticed that Lin Yu usually doesn't score many goals in the first half?

Most of them were concentrated in the second half," the assistant coach added.

"I know this. I also talked to him about this matter. Lin Yu told me at that time that the reason why he scored few goals in the first half was because of two reasons." Mourinho recalled what happened that day.

.

"What two reasons?"

"The first reason is that he is observing the opponent's tactics and the opponent's playing habits! Sometimes tactics can be adjusted, but it is difficult to change the players' playing habits."

"What about the second reason?"

"He gave an example and said that if each player's physical strength is 100, his physical strength may be more than 100. In the first half, there is not much difference between them, and his advantage is not obvious, but in the second half,

The opponent's physical strength may be around 50, but he is still at 100. This way, it will be much easier for him to make some extraordinary moves, so he chose to explode in the second half."

"Now that you know, what are you worried about? Just sit down and watch the ball. As long as you don't concede the ball, just wait for Lin Yu to explode in the second half."

"Yeah, what do I have to worry about? I have an ace in my hand!"

Mourinho smiled and no longer stood on the sidelines, but returned to his seat and sat down.

Throughout the first half, Leverkusen was basically under the intense fire of Chelsea. It was a miracle that they could not concede a goal. They only had two shots in the first half. Compared to Chelsea's 15 shots,

This gap is really too big.

Perhaps Leverkusen people, including Leverkusen coach Hyypia, will think that being able to withstand Chelsea's fierce attack in the first half is already half the victory. Unfortunately, they don't seem to understand that in the first half,

Compared with Chelsea in the second half, it pales into insignificance.

When returning to the locker room to rest, both teams also learned about the situation of another game that was closely related to them. It was now AC Milan 2:0 Spartak Moscow. It seemed that AC Milan had taken advantage of its everlasting sword.

Actively recovering group points will be even more unfavorable for Chelsea. They have to win this game no matter what. Otherwise, after this game, they may even be directly ranked last in the group and have no prospects of qualifying.

It's a blur.

In fact, for Chelsea, it doesn't matter whether AC Milan wins or Spartak Moscow wins. They don't particularly care who the second place in this group will be, because they still want to compete for the first place in the group, as long as they win the next

In all competitions, the first place in the group belongs to them.

In the Chelsea dressing room, Mourinho didn't say too much. He told his players to just continue their suppressive attack in the second half and pay attention to the defense to avoid problems.

He actually wanted to ask Lin Yu a question, so he called Lin Yu aside alone.

"Are you confident of scoring a goal in the second half?"

"What's the meaning?"

"I still remember what you said to me before. You said you were more used to bursting out in the second half. Isn't that a joke?" Mourinho had to confirm, otherwise he would still be unsure.

"Of course I'm not kidding, coach, if I can't score within fifteen minutes of the second half, you might as well take me off. I don't care, and I won't blame you." Lin Yu's words were a little angry. After all, he was still a man.

Children, I really don’t like the feeling of not being trusted by others.

"You brat. You're still angry! Okay, this is my fault. You should play well and try to get kicked out of Chelsea. Play with your own momentum. I believe you can do it!" Murry

Neo kicked Lin Yu on the butt and cursed with a smile.

"Hey, that's right. Coach, who can you not trust? How can you not trust me? Just leave it to me in the second half. Don't think that there is no danger because the grass is quiet. I want Leverkusen to know that every day

There's a Galen in every bush! I'm going to scare them to death!"

"What Galen?"

"Nothing, the second half is about to start. I have to go to the toilet." Lin Yu stuck out his tongue, turned around and ran away.

Lin Yu, who was running, couldn't help gritting his teeth, and said to himself: "I dare not say that to you, but I swear that before leaving Chelsea, I must leave the most glorious record here and let Chelsea

Let the fans have a carnival and let Chelsea truly become a giant that can stand proudly in football! I swear! The group stage can’t stop us, and the knockout rounds can’t stop us either!”

Lin Yu really did what he said. In the second half, he also broke through intensive attacks, but Lin Yu was obviously more active than in the first half.

When it comes to breaking the tight formation, it is nothing more than set-piece tactics, long-range shots, and relying on players with excellent foot skills to bring the ball directly into the penalty area to create chaos, or relying on players with good footwork to pass the ball enough to let the opponent's defender

A beautiful pass that scared both the goalkeeper and the goalkeeper.

But this time, Lin Yu used a very simple method, which was a free kick.

There were also free kick opportunities in the first half, but Lin Yu failed to score. Three free kicks. The first time he kicked it away because it was too powerful. The second time he hit the crossbar and almost scored.

, the third time the force was a little weak, and the opponent's goalkeeper Leno saved him.

This was Chelsea's fourth free kick opportunity, and Lin Yu once again stood in front of the ball.

A free kick master does not need to score every free kick. What he needs is to score one free kick that changes the situation in a game. That is enough.

"Chelsea has a lot of good free kickers. Lin Yu's footwork seems to be not smooth today. It might be better to leave it to Lampard or Lewis to take the kick." The commentator no longer has any confidence in Lin Yu. After all,

There were no three free kick opportunities in the first half, no wonder.

But the commentators cannot represent the Chelsea players. For the players in the team, they have long recognized that Lin Yu is the best free kick penalty taker. Even Lampard has retreated to the second line. Although Lampard

He started the game, but he didn't compete with Lin Yu for a free kick, and he didn't even say a word. He believed in Lin Yu just like he believed in himself.

Standing in front of the ball, Lin Yu took a deep breath, and then stared at Leverkusen's goal. It was not a meaningless stare, but some calculations.

In the first three free kicks, his judgment was slightly wrong, maybe because of the wind today, but for this ball, he must learn from the experience of the previous three failures and kick the most beautiful free kick.

When Lin Yu was very young, he heard his teacher say "failure is the mother of success" all day long. At that time, he did not understand the meaning of this sentence at all, but today, he has completely understood it.

When the referee blew the penalty whistle, he started to take a run-up, and the collision between his feet and the ball attracted the attention of countless fans... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (.) to vote for recommendations.
