Football No. 10: God's Perspective

Chapter 283: Finals with an Unbalanced Mindset

Lost the ball again.

Mount, who was holding the ball in the midfield, seemed a little hesitant. Bayern Munich's Kimmich decisively grabbed the ball and even put a foot on his body to intercept the ball.

Losing the ball in the midfield and losing the ball in transition from offense to defense are all taboos.

Chelsea was in a hurry in front of the goal, and the players on the defense hurriedly organized defense, but in the end Salah found the opportunity. Henderson picked it through, and the Egyptian Pharaoh understood it well, and succeeded in making an air cut. Salah got the ball in the penalty area and chested it. With a flick of the ball, without making any adjustments, he directly volleyed and scored.

2 to 0.

The game only lasted 15 minutes and Liverpool had already scored two goals. Everything was so wonderful.

It was a nightmare 15 minutes for the Chelsea players.

The head coach Tuchel on the sidelines had a dark face the whole time. He was also helpless with the poor performance of his players. It was obvious that his team was in trouble now. The tactical level was not the main one, but more of the psychological level. Want to win but fear losing.

A young team will encounter such problems. De Ligt and others experienced such psychological ups and downs when they were in Ajax, but they quickly adjusted back and finally won the Champions League that season.

When I was in Dortmund, after all, there were some old players in the team who had experienced the Champions League finals, so they were able to hold the scene.

But at the moment, only Thiago Silva and Wang Po are performing stably in the Chelsea team. The other players are completely out of order, which is the worst.

Moreover, this kind of confusion cannot be solved by substitution, but requires players to perform self-psychological massage and comfort.

However, after conceding two goals, the Chelsea players seemed even more panicked. Near the end of the first half, the third goal came. Salah accelerated to break through Thiago Silva and formed a single, one-kick Scored a goal with a push into the far corner.

3 to 0.

A pleasant score, with happiness written all over the faces of the Liverpool players. This score is enough to ensure that they can defend the Champions League title.

"beep"

The referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

The Chelsea players returned to the locker room dejectedly, with a look of confusion in their eyes, eager for someone to help them and point them in the right direction.

The Chelsea fans were equally devastated. This first half was almost a massacre. This was the first time in the past two years that the home team had such a bad performance, and it was also in an extremely important Champions League final. They couldn't afford to lose. ah.

In the past, Tuchel would have been furious in the locker room. This time he chose silence, looking at the dejected players without saying a word.

As time passed by, Chelsea's locker room became eerily quiet. You could even hear each other's uneasy breathing. They were ready for the head coach's storm of curses, but they were disappointed.

The silence is terrible.

When halftime came, the only sound was the assistant referee urging the players to come on.

At this time, Tuchel stood in front of the locker room door.

"You still have 45 minutes. This is the only time left before your dream is shattered. Cowards are not qualified to win the championship. Anyone who does not have the courage to play stays in the locker room. There is no need to play. I would rather have 7 A warrior doesn’t want 11 cowards.”

Tuchel's voice was not loud, but it was loud and reverberated in the hearts of the players for a long time.

Time seemed to have stood still.

No player moved forward and broke through the head coach's block.

"I came here just for the championship. Three goals are nothing. If Liverpool can score three in 45 minutes, I can score four."

Wang Po shouted and rushed out of the locker room facing Tuchel who was about to eat people alive.

With the first, there is the second.

"At this point, backing down? Impossible, I want the Champions League."

Thiago Silva shouted out his innermost thoughts. As the former most valuable central defender, the Brazilian central defender is full of honors. However, he has never been involved in the Big Ears Cup. This time he is infinitely close to winning the cup. , but very far away.

However, the Brazilians used their attitude to show their pursuit and never give up!

The eyes of all the players were radiant again, and their desire for the championship defeated their panic, and they followed each other onto the court.

"Du~!"

The second half of the game begins.

"There are only 45 minutes left, come on Chelsea."

The commentator in front of the TV sighed from the bottom of his heart. With the current score, he was really worried about these young men. Don't expect it to end up creating the biggest "tragedy" in the history of the Champions League final.

"beep"

The last 45 minutes of this season's Champions League final are about to begin.

"Huh? Is Tuchel confused? He didn't make any substitution adjustments." "Oh my God, three goals were hit in the half and there were still no changes in tactics or personnel. This coach What is the use?"

"After all, he is also the coach who led Dortmund to win the Triple Crown. At this level, it is really shocking and extremely disappointing."

Seeing that Chelsea did not make any adjustments, it caused strong dissatisfaction among Chelsea fans.

They vented all their anger on the head coach Tuchel when the team fell behind by a big score.

Blow when you win, black when you lose.

Fans at home and abroad are all the same.

However, Chelsea fans soon discovered the team's changes. They were no longer so cautious and timid. Too much defensive action? Yellow card warning? No problem, just keep staring and defending, and go all out.

On the contrary, whether they admit it or not, Liverpool players began to relax after leading by three goals, which was not only reflected in their attitude but also in their psychology.

Even if the head coach Klopp repeatedly emphasized this to the players during the halftime break, it was inevitable.

Chelsea's tactics and momentum of attacking at the beginning were expected by everyone. Even though Klopp repeatedly emphasized it, the players still slacked off.

At the most critical moment of the team, the man stood up again.

The breakthrough with the ball in the middle was violated by Henderson. 37 meters away from the goal, Chelsea got a free kick opportunity with a good angle and a little distance.

Wang Po stood at the penalty spot of the ball without hesitation. He was the undisputed first operator of the team.

Standing in front of the ball, Wang Po looked at it for three seconds, took a deep breath, and measured his steps. At this moment, the entire Istanbul Stadium was quiet and suffocated. The focus of the whole stadium was undoubtedly on Chelsea's No. 10.

Waiting, waiting.

Wang Po was waiting for the referee's whistle.

"Beep."

I don't know how long it took, and the harsh whistle sounded.

At this moment, Wang Po completely entered a state of selflessness, as if there were no fans, teammates, opponents, human walls, or goalkeepers on the court, only himself, the ball, and the goal.
