- "How long has it been since the second half?" After Stewart's long shot went over the crossbar, Mourinho turned to ask Pei Wei.
Pei Wei was looking at the court nervously, without even a chance to answer, but Kafuer replied: "Twenty minutes have passed We still have less than half an hour."
"Larsson, Walcott, Janas, go warm up!" Mourinho turned to call the last three offensive players on the bench. Among the seven substitutes, except for Stewart who came on the field and these three Apart from the offensive players, there are only two defenders Kufuor, Hart and goalkeeper Given left. It is obvious that Mourinho intends to strengthen the offense.
At this time, Benitez changed someone, using Gudjohnsen to replace Toni, whose physical fitness declined quickly on such a field. This substitution was to strengthen the defense. In addition to playing In addition to being a forward, he can also play as a defensive midfielder and his defensive ability is quite good.
In Benitez¡¯s eyes, the Champions League semi-final game has reached its final stage.
"Twenty-five minutes? That's enough for us to fight for!"
Mourinho gritted his teeth and said, and then changed two people in a row!
The young Walcott replaced Ibrahimovic, whose physical fitness had also declined greatly. Such a venue restricted the display of his skills. Moreover, in this game, Ibrahimovic also fought very hard, constantly getting into physical contact with the opponent's defender. After the collision, his physical strength also dropped equally sharply.
Another substitution is a bit strange. He did not replace Janus or Larsson. Instead, Bernard was replaced with Hart!
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off of a defender for a defender isn't it a waste of a substitution? And after using up these two substitution places, Mourinho didn't even have a spare substitution place in his hands!
Benitez saw what Mourinho was thinking.
¡°Want to take advantage of his free kick and passing abilities?¡± Benitez murmured.
really. Although Hart is still a bit worse than Bernard in terms of overall ability, his direct free kicks and crosses from the wing are among the best in the Premier League. After coming to Newcastle, his free kicks have improved. The ability has not decreased either! From this aspect, Hart can be regarded as the only "surprise weapon" in Mourinho's hands!
After Walcott came on the field, Newcastle's formation changed to a three-four-three, with Maicon taking the right midfield position, Nie Fei organizing the attack in the middle, Walcott and Stewart taking the winger positions. Roba became the only center forward.
Benitez called German teenager Huth. He whispered to him: "Notify others after coming on the field. When defending, be careful not to give the opponent a chance to take a direct free kick Newcastle needs to play on the wing and let them play. Just keep an eye on Drogba in the middle Also, let Deke take care of Nie Fei and don¡¯t give them a chance.¡±
Hut nodded and quickly ran to warm up, while Benitez returned to the coaching bench peacefully.
Now the initiative is in his hands. After replacing Huth, he still has the last substitution place. Now Benitez has strong confidence in spending the last 20 minutes safely.
Huth came on and replaced Gremi. Although Huth is slower than Gremi, his height and header advantage are much higher. Benitez wants to block Newcastle's high-altitude ball tactics.
Now Benitez is not afraid of what tricks Mourinho can play, because now all the initiative is in his hands. Being one goal ahead is because of the right time, and because he is familiar with the venue, it is because of the favorable location. There is also a substitution quota, which is about harmony - no matter how good Mourinho is, it will be difficult to regain the score in such a disadvantageous situation, not to mention that in terms of on-the-spot command, Mourinho is indeed inferior to himself. Woolen cloth!
??Besides, even if Newcastle is lucky and can score a goal, he still has room for adjustment. Unlike Mourinho, who can only watch from the sidelines now, no matter how good the tactics are, they have to be adjusted through substitutions.
After the formation was changed to three forwards, Newcastle was indeed more alive in the wing attack, but when Chelsea placed the defensive players densely in the center, and all of them headed the ball well. Newcastle's crosses also had no effect. Although Drogba had an excellent header, he was unable to do anything under the defense of Terry, Carvalho and Huth, three good header players. What's more, the other Chelsea defender, Gala, is also famous for his headers.
Faced with such a defense, Newcastle was in a helpless situation. They could have created some opportunities by relying on Nie Fei's personal breakthrough, but it was really difficult to form an effective breakthrough in such a venue, not to mention that Deco had been unwavering from the beginning. He stayed by Nie Fei's side. With his defensive ability and familiarity with Nie Fei, he was enough to block Nie Fei's breakthrough.
If Ribery is still on the pitch, Newcastle willNie Fei's breakthrough cannot be accomplished by only Nie Fei, but now that he is injured and Ibrahimovic has been replaced, Nie Fei is the only one who has the ability to create a breakthrough in the middle.
Under such circumstances, Newcastle could only strengthen long-range shots from outside the penalty area, so Newcastle began to fire frequently from the outside. Unfortunately, most of them failed to hit the goal frame, and it was difficult for a few to hit the goal frame. Not blocked by defenders and goalkeepers.
As time passes by, Newcastle's hope of winning is getting slimmer and slimmer, but whether it's the players on the field or the fans off the field, they still haven't given up hope and are looking forward to a miracle.
After all, they only need to score one goal to eliminate their opponents and advance to the finals with the advantage of more away goals!
It is this faint fire of hope that supports them to continue playing.
But as the end of the game approaches, this flame of hope begins to grow dimmer and may be extinguished at any time. In the 83rd minute, Newcastle finally got a chance to equalize the score!
Nie Fei used an extremely difficult pick to turn around and get rid of Deco, but Deco immediately made a decisive foul and pulled him down with a backhand. The referee Mitchell showed him a yellow card and then awarded Newcastle a goal. Direct free kick from 27 meters.
The distance is a bit far, but it is still within Hart's range, and a free kick closer to the center is suitable for a left-footed player like him.
Hart carefully picked up the ball, wiped it with his jersey, wiped away the mud and water, then held the ball and stepped hard again and again near the penalty spot, stepping out of a relatively dry space.
Chelsea¡¯s defensive players were also facing a formidable enemy. Under the command of Reina, they formed a tight wall and blocked the left side.
Hart straightened up and looked at the opponent's wall arrangement.
He just stood there quietly until the opponent's wall was set up and the referee blew the whistle for a free throw, then he suddenly raised his foot and kicked the ball without a run-up!
The wall jumped one after another, but the ball went over their heads and flew quickly towards the goal!
Reina made a side dive, but everyone could see that he was a little late. At least, he couldn't touch the ball when it was close to the goal!
Everyone held their breath
¡°Bang!¡±
The ball hit the goal post hard and then bounced back into the penalty area! Drogba subconsciously stretched his foot to block, but the ball hit Terry. Then the Chelsea captain kicked the ball out of the sideline with an extremely awkward big foot!
Chelsea escaped!
"Damn, luck is really on their side!" Pei Wei shouted dullly, then sat back on the chair and covered his face.
Mourinho had no time to care about him, stood up and shouted to the court: "Attack! Keep attacking! We still have a chance!"
Benitez watched him yelling from the sidelines from a distance. It was rare to see Mourinho behave like this, but he had no intention of appreciating it. Although there was no expression on his face, Benitez just said Si's heart almost jumped out of his chest. If the goal was scored by such a free kick, then all his preparations for this game would be in vain!
Fortunately the goal didn¡¯t go in
In the next game, Newcastle's players continued to attack, but it was obvious that the missed goal had seriously damaged their morale, and so far in the game, their physical energy had been exhausted too much.
When the game approached stoppage time, Benitez finally used up the third substitution and replaced the exhausted Robben with Joe Cole, killing a little time again.
As the fourth official on the sidelines played the stoppage time minute on the electronic display, all the Chelsea fans immediately started counting down from 180, intending to use this method to disturb the minds of the Newcastle players.
Mourinho sat expressionlessly on the coaching bench, while Benitez and other Chelsea assistant coaches and substitute players all stood up, waiting for the moment the game ended.
finally¡¡
"Beep¡ª¡ª" referee Mitchell blew the whistle to end the game! Just as the whistle sounded, huge cheers rang out from the stands, and everyone on the Chelsea bench rushed out!
"The game is over! Chelsea won! They eliminated Newcastle with a score of 1-0 in two rounds and entered the Champions League final historically! Newcastle's dream of entering the Champions League final for two consecutive years was shattered!"
In the noisy environment, Mourinho closed his eyes.
Everything is over. After all, he still has not made history. However, Benitez, who has made sufficient preparations, has entered the final venue of European football's highest honor in a season. - Didn't finish reading?
