My name is Colani

The ball rushed to the lower left corner of the goal, but Trapani fans also saw Cech dive sideways and fell to the left side of Messi.

Messi's shooting angle was very tricky, but the power was still a little insufficient. Cech predicted it in advance. The ball was touched by his palm, changed its original direction, and flew out of the baseline!

It didn't go in!

It didn't go in!

Hugo hugged his head, my God, it didn't go in!

"Oh, no! God!" Victor wailed.

Trapani players were also a little unbelievable. Messi's penalty hit rate has always been very high, and his penalty miss rate is relatively low, but he missed it in such an important game this time.

Chelsea players shouted loudly to vent their emotions. Cech was as excited as scoring a goal. His teammates clapped their hands to celebrate with him, and Cahill was even more grateful to him.

"Peter, you saved me!" Cahill exclaimed sincerely.

"We are a team, we can win!" Cech hugged Cahill to cheer him up.

Ashley Cole got a special hug from Cech. After interfering with Messi, Ashley Cole gave Cech a look and asked him to shoot to the left. He really guessed it right.

Messi was a little confused standing there. He really couldn't explain why he listened to Ashley Cole and really shot the ball to the lower left corner.

The comfort of his teammates brought Messi back to reality from his trance.

"Leo, it's okay, don't take it to heart, we will definitely get another chance, we will win! You will score a goal too!"

Messi's smile was too embarrassing, "Ashley Cole asked me to shoot to the left, and I really shot to the left! Damn, I really listened to him!"

Boateng was there at the time. Thinking of this now, I really don't know whether to cry or laugh.

"You..., forget it, it's just a penalty, it's no big deal! We will definitely score, they will just retreat, I don't believe they won't make mistakes!"

...

"Trapani missed a great opportunity! Messi's shot was still a little weak, but we can clearly see from the slow motion that Cech had moved in advance when saving the ball!" Sacchi also sighed for Trapani in the live broadcast room, "Missing a penalty in such an important game will also have some bad effects on the team's morale! I hope this penalty will not affect Messi's performance, and will not bring any sequelae to Trapani!"

To be honest, Sacchi's prediction was confirmed later. Although the players kept comforting Messi and reassured him that the team still had a chance, Messi seemed to be normal in his conversation with his teammates, but in fact they seemed more impatient in their subsequent performance.

Ashley Cole seems to have become Messi's enemy. Messi always wants to find trouble with him. Ashley Cole is very experienced in defending Messi, and Di Matteo has also formulated a detailed tactical strategy for Messi, that is, several people surround him, and Bertrand does not need to consider attacking at all, that is, helping to defend in his own half.

There is also Lampard in the middle. Lampard's main task today is not to insert at all, but to defend in the half. He is a more versatile player. In the England national team, he and Gerrard are double D, but there are big problems in the integration of the two of them. What is the main reason? !

Because they are too strong and cover too large an area. The two of them cannot be as delicate as Ronaldinho, but they are also all-around midfielders, so that the head coach of England is not easy to arrange their positions, and there are too many overlapping roles.

But in their respective clubs, their roles can be more fully played. For example, Lampard has strong offensive ability, but if you let him defend, he is also the kind of player who can take on the big responsibility.

Today, Di Matteo gave him the task of defending and making full use of his long pass skills, so Lampard's position was relatively backward.

Under this kind of siege, Messi wanted to score more and more, and it became more and more difficult to rush in. After losing the ball, Chelsea played a defensive counterattack. Drogba and another winger Kalou entered the state. Perhaps it was the proof and encouragement brought to Chelsea players by Cech's penalty save that made them a little excited.

Drogba is not young anymore, but today he seems to have returned to the era of his peak years. He is very confrontational. Drogba, who has been in the Premier League for many years, is not easy to mess with.

Many power-type forwards in the Premier League like confrontation very much. They often take the initiative to provoke defenders, and Drogba is frequently looking for trouble with Boateng at this time. He told Boateng that you are still a little tender. Many long passes of Chelsea are not intended to hit behind Trapani's defense line, but directly to Drogba, so that Drogba can confront.

Wenger also had a trick up his sleeve in the defensive line arrangement today. Mertesacker's slow turn was a hidden danger, so he was left behind to give him a buffer time to react and start, and Boateng was the defender responsible for closely marking Drogba.

In other words, this arrangement was to Drogba's liking. Even if Wenger didn't arrange it this way, Drogba would still go looking for trouble with Boateng.

Boateng is not short, but Mertesacker is taller and stronger than him. Drogba is still very good at picking people. Boateng participated in two Champions League finals as a main player. He is experienced, but he is a young man after all, and he doesn't have Mertesacker's oil. Drogba thinks he is the easier person for Trapani's defense to deal with.

Drogba's choice was not wrong. Drogba went to Boateng. The young Boateng was really deceived by Drogba and was tricked by Drogba's tricks. He felt very unhappy. The confrontation with Drogba made him feel that this guy was even more terrifying than Ibrahimovic.

In the 29th minute, Boateng lost his mind and was directly shown a yellow card by Proenca for his excessive movements in defense. Drogba's evil plan succeeded.

"Fuck, a yellow card just now?! Just now Cahill handballed in the penalty area, but he didn't get a card! Is Proenca funny?!" Victor cursed.

"Humph, the child who cries gets milk! The child who doesn't cry goes hungry!" Hugo smiled coldly. Trapani was the dominant side, and the players were too civilized on the court and did not put too much pressure on Proenca. On the other hand, Chelsea's players immediately surrounded Proenca and put pressure on him once there was something wrong.

Take Cahill's handball, for example. It should have been a red card, but the Chelsea players were emotional and the Trapani players were indifferent, so Cahill escaped the red card penalty.

"Hold on! You performed too badly on the court! Don't push the formation too much, recycle, recycle!" Wenger called out to the Trapani players on the sidelines.

His hoarse voice finally had some effect. Trapani was no longer eager to pass the ball to the front court, and the backcourt began to pass more. Chelsea's counterattack climax just passed. Their tactical thinking was very unified, and they did not adopt the high-pressure tactics at all. Kalu and Drogba were more like pretending in the front court.

The time in the first half was getting shorter and shorter. Chelsea's residual formation was really amazing. Their defensive strength was not as good as Real Madrid, but the success rate of this defense was much higher than that of Real Madrid. Rather than saying that it was Di Matteo's credit, it was better to say that these players finally restored the mental willpower of the iron-blooded Blues. Many times they tried their best to clear the siege and fight for every sideline and every bottom line ball!

Trapani slowly adjusted his mentality, and the situation on the field slowly returned to the scene more than ten minutes ago. Chelsea had to retreat to their own half of the field to defend, leaving only Drogba as a striker in front.

"If it were me, I should have let Torres play in the early part of this game! Torres plays a greater role in counterattacks, and he is very fast!" Lombardo began to evaluate his compatriot's use of players again.
