The biggest fanatic in football

Chapter 444 Who needs Li Polo?

At Stamford Bridge in the evening, the singing was loud and clear.

The game entered Chelsea's rhythm at the beginning. In the 5th minute, Hazard cut in from the left and came to the center. He passed the ball to his national team teammate Batshuayi on the right side of the penalty area. It was a pity.

The latter's shot was too angled and missed the crossbar and flew over the goal.

But this did not dampen the confidence of the Blues soldiers.

After only 5 minutes, they broke through the opponent's city.

Luis, who was the defensive midfielder in this game, suddenly dribbled the ball forward and tried to pass a through ball to Hazard, but was intercepted by Roma central defender Juan.

Lewis didn't give up, he grabbed the ball directly on the spot, and then shot with a lever!

I saw the football drawing an elegant arc in the opponent's half. Roma goalkeeper Alisson didn't even react, and the goal he was guarding was declared lost!

1:0!

-

"Louis is the defensive midfielder... Conte also likes to play tricks!"

Looking at the Brazilians with their hands pointing to the sky and praying devoutly, Li Polo couldn't help but laugh.

Lisanna, who was watching the game with him, focused on something unrelated:

"Luis, Willian, Marcelo from Real Madrid, Dante from Bayern...why do Brazilians like afros so much?"

Li Polo touched his short and delicate little head:

"Then I'll keep one too?"

Lisanna glanced at him and couldn't help laughing:

"Then it will take you an hour just to blow dry your hair every day!"

Li Polo immediately shook his head firmly:

"My time is so precious, how can I waste it on things like drying my hair?"

-

Chelsea's offensive didn't stop there. A few minutes later, Fabregas intercepted the ball in the midfield and quickly passed it directly to Hazard. After breaking through the double team, the latter chose a low shot and the football slid out.

In this game, Conte put up a set of 352. Lipolo was suspended, Moses was injured, and Pedro, Kanter and William were given a rest, so Louis was in a better position and temporarily played as a defensive midfielder.

Batshuayi and Christensen each got the opportunity to play in the Champions League, and the right wing-back position was also filled by new player Zapacosta from Italy.

Although he didn't want to rotate, Conte still made more than half of the rotation adjustments based on the actual situation of the players.

Roma almost equalized in the 31st minute. Stroman made a diagonal pass from the middle. Captain Nainggolan fired a low shot from the right side of the penalty area, but Courtois blocked it with his leg.

Chelsea seized the opportunity in the 37th minute. Hazard, the eldest brother on the field, personally retreated to steal the ball. Then he took the ball and passed the ball to Batshuayi, who was in front of the penalty area.

The blocking of the two central defenders could only be a matter of luck, but his shot was blocked by Fazio's toes and bounced to Hazard's feet.

Easily pushed the ball into the near corner, 2-0!

Stamford Bridge burst into cheers, and the fans almost sang loudly:

“Who needs Li·Polo!”

Who needs Lee Polo!

Azar performed a 15-meter-long sliding kneel, venting his inner passion!

[Isn’t it just a missed shot? Who can’t! 】

-

But as soon as Azar finished celebrating, the wolves of Rome came to his door.

Midfielder Gonalons passed the ball to the left back Kolarov who advanced forward to assist. The 32-year-old veteran faced the containment of Zapacosta and Azpilicueta and unexpectedly scored with a man-ball!

The football passed between Azpilicueta's legs, and Kolarov instantly turned into a gust of wind!

【Why me again?】

Azpilicueta's mentality is simply explosive!

In the last league game, he was successfully passed by Zaha of Crystal Palace 5 times. This time he thought that he could feel proud when facing a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people. He didn't expect that any 32-year-old man could defeat him.

Play like a monkey!

Kolarov, who successfully broke through, fired a shot directly from the left rib of the penalty area. The ball hit the leg of Christensen who stepped forward to block the ball and was deflected in. Courtois could only save it!

1:2!

The Blues players, who were originally prepared to enter the locker room with a score of 2:0, could only accept this result.

-

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, and the show really started.

In the 57th minute, Conte replaced Luis with Pedro. The Brazilian expressed his strong dissatisfaction on the spot. He walked to the sidelines, cursed and even made gestures with Conte who was standing on the sidelines.

This scene was clearly captured by the camera, and the commentator in the live broadcast room couldn't help but feel worried for Chelsea:

"Luis's performance was not that bad. Rather than letting him off the field, it would be better to replace Zapacosta. The Italian is obviously not suitable for the team's rhythm!"

After removing Luiz as the defensive midfielder and replacing him with Pedro as the sharp winger, Chelsea's offense was not only lackluster, but also lost control of the midfield, allowing Roma to frequently seize the ball.

In the 59th minute, Nainggolan kicked the ball directly from the top of the penalty area. In order to save the football, Courtois almost hit the goalpost and became the second "Tank Man", which shocked Conte and all the fans.

Breaking out in a cold sweat.

Just 2 minutes later, Roma once again posed a threat. Stroman made a pass from the left. Even though Gerson was double-teamed in the small penalty area, he still completed a header, but it missed the goal slightly.

In the 63rd minute, Nainggolan stole the ball from Cesc Fabregas and transferred it. Peretti made a curved kick from the left side of the penalty area, trying to hit a dead corner, but because the ball was a little slow, Courtois reached out to pick it off.

.

Courtois threw the ball vigorously, but Chelsea's midfielder failed to grab the landing spot and was blocked by the opponent's right center back Fazio.

Fazio did not hand the ball to other teammates, but took the ball forward himself, and then sent a diagonal pass of more than 30 meters to find Dzeko who had just stepped into the penalty area.

The 31-year-old Dzeko got rid of Christensen who was marking him and volleyed directly from the left rib of the small penalty area from a small angle!

The football grazed Courtois' face and rushed into the net!

2:2!

Conte was stunned on the sidelines, and Luis on the bench couldn't help but sneer.

But it was not over yet. Five minutes later, the Red Wolves once again created murderous opportunities. The 32-year-old Kolarov broke through from the left and caused a foul. He personally took a free kick. The 31-year-old Dzeko was protected by Christensen.

He still rushed into the penalty area and scored at the 12-yard point!

3:2!

Roma scored two goals in five minutes in an away game!

Conte punched the leather chair!

Stamford Bridge suddenly fell into a dead silence! -

"Why!"

Lisanna sighed:

"This Christensen's defense is not very good! Does he have 25 million at this level? He is not as good as Sakho of Crystal Palace..."

Li Polo did not remind her, "Don't criticize my teammates casually." After all, Lisanna is his wife.

But when he looked at Chelsea's somewhat scattered formation, he didn't understand it for a while:

"Why did Conte remove the only defensive midfielder?"

"Even if you think Lewis's performance is too poor, he can definitely let Golovin take his place!"

"As an Italian head coach, isn't it common sense to prioritize solid defense when you are in the lead?"

While he was talking, Chelsea's offensive came to the opponent's penalty area again.

Batshuayi retreated from the penalty area and completed a position change with Hazard. Fabregas, who was holding the ball, separated and Pedro from the right took a pass.

Although there were four defensive players in the penalty area, no one was close to Hazard, who had just changed positions, allowing the Hazard to score with a header without anyone watching!

3:3!

"Good guy, Hazard can even header the ball!"

Looking at the excited Hazard, Lee Polo shrugged his shoulders and glanced at the final statistics.

Shot ratio 17:15, shots on target 4:7, saves 4:1, corner kicks 1:4, fouls 9:7, ball possession rate 40%:60%, passes 346:521...

Chelsea, ranked first in the Premier League standings, was suppressed by Roma, ranked fifth in Serie A, for 90 minutes at Stamford Bridge!

Li Poluo frowned slightly.

After last season's success, Conte's tactics have hit a bottleneck. If they can't adjust in time, Chelsea... may be in big trouble!
