But it wasn’t until ten minutes into the second half and the score was still 0:2 that everyone at Chelsea realized something was wrong. Middlesbrough’s offensive was in full swing, and the team was united and excited. Five midfielders scored.
He can attack, retreat or defend. The defensive ability of Gudjohnsen, who replaces Makelele as a defensive midfielder, is simply incomparable with the Frenchman. He is an orthodox forward after all! The forward plays a winger, and the attacking midfielder is still barely there.
The skills and habits of playing as a defensive midfielder on the field are much different. Similarly, Essien, who switched to playing as a left back, also repeatedly lost his position. For this reason, Carvalho had to frequently step forward to cover the defense. As a result, he and Terry
The gap between them is too large.
Since Gallas had to come off the field with a thigh strain in the 17th minute of the first half, during the intermission, Jose replaced Joe Cole with Wright who was not performing well. Therefore, at this time, he was left with
One substitution.
Losing one is a loss, losing a hundred is also a loss. At this juncture, Jose did not hesitate and directly called Wang Ai and warmed up quickly. It was too cold. But when Wang Ai was running hard on the sidelines,
Chelsea actually conceded a goal again on the field. This time it was Carvalho who stepped forward to cover the ball. He failed to compete for the top when he retreated. The distance between him and Terry was too large, which resulted in the opponent's forward breaking in from the ribs.
Progressive.
At this time, Wang Ai had just stood up for less than two minutes, but Jose couldn't wait any longer and called Wang Ai directly and asked the fourth official to raise the substitution card!
Wang Ai replaced defender Gremi and played as a shadow forward. Chelsea once again resorted to a betting style of falling behind and adding a forward!
The last time they scored three goals dates back to last summer, and the last time they were three goals behind without scoring a single goal was in 2002. Apart from Terry, Lampard and a few other people, Chelsea didn't even know about Chelsea's three goals.
What it feels like to be behind with the ball, especially in the hands of the omnipotent Jose.
how so?
Wang Ai came on the field and chatted with Crespo, Robben, Wright and Lampard respectively. When Chelsea's defense failed and they were forced to retreat to increase defensive density, Chelsea's frontcourt had too much impact and insufficient creativity.
The problem was exposed. Gudjohnsen, the only creative player other than Wang Ai, was pinned to the midfielder position and could not move. Therefore, Wang Ai had to use the top of the penalty area as his shadow forward as his main position.
Position, you can communicate with the lone forward, left and right fullbacks, and attacking midfielders, and try your best to tap your creativity.
Wang Ai thought of Ronaldinho, and tried hard to squeeze out a smile, trying to relax from the outside in, but as soon as he smiled, the smile condensed on his face. In the 72nd minute of the game, Middlesbrough's 10 Rosenback
Through the ball in the middle, No. 20 Yakub shot with a single shot. Although the linesman raised the flag to indicate offside, the penalty was quickly revoked.
0:4!
The Riverside Stadium went crazy, and the anger in Jose's heart was rising.
From Terry to Lampard, everyone was waiting in solemn silence for the restart. They needed to go home and sum up why they lost so miserably.
Wang Ai was in the cold wind, and the number 13 on his jersey was shaking in the wind. When he kicked off, he looked at the frowning Robben, then looked at the absent-minded Wright, and sighed in his heart, what if this was in Depor?
, he can let Belleron understand his feelings with just one look, and Depor has never been psychologically defeated by his opponents. Chelsea has risen too quickly, and the team's foundation is far from enough. With good results, they are proud of themselves.
, being hit hard suddenly, you will have self-doubt again.
It seems that we can only do it alone, at least for a while, so that everyone can come back to their senses.
Crespo pushed the ball to Wang Ai. Wang Ai tiptoed back a little and gave it to Gudjohnsen. Then he ran forward and turned back and gestured to Gudjohnsen. Fortunately, the Icelander was looking up at this time.
Looking around, seeing Wang Ai's "instruction", he subconsciously raised his toes and the football flew towards Wang Ai's side.
Wang Ai suddenly stopped and turned while running, unloaded the ball with the arch of his left foot and pushed it to the right. Then he turned again, blocked Mendieta, broke through, and was pulled by Mendieta, knocking him across the wing.
Wright dribbled the ball forward and pressed forward. Faced with Parnaby who was oncoming, he did not dare to make a move, so he had to knock back. Wang Ai, who had been prepared for a long time, was already ready to meet him. Facing Mendieta in front and behind, Liget
When pressing forward, without stopping the ball, he tilts his body sharply and passes forward with his right toe.
This move was extremely fast and accurate. Crespo grabbed the first point next to Southgate, and then calmly pushed the shot into the far corner next to the attacking goalkeeper Schwarzer.
1:4!
After scoring the goal, Crespo briefly high-fived Robben next to him. Just as he was about to speak, he saw that Wang Ai, who was assisting, had already bent down to pick up the ball in the goal. The two immediately turned around and ran back.
Jose on the sidelines is still like an owl standing on a branch on a snowy night.
Middlesbrough kicked off and this time completed a low-quality long shot, which was saved by Cech. A backhand throw was given to Terry. Terry passed the ball diagonally to Robben. Robben quickly reached the bottom and won.
A corner kick. Terry, Carvalho and others all ran forward. Robben seized the time and sent the ball from the back. Parnaby cleared it, but Wang Ai from outside the penalty area grabbed the first point. He
After taking the first shot next to Tangning, he entered the penalty area next to Terry who quickly got out of the way. Facing the double defense of Doriva and Parnaby, Wang Ai moved laterally with the ball and tried to find an opportunity to hit the goal, but was unexpectedly blocked from behind.
Tangning, who was catching up, pushed her and lost her position.
The referee awarded a penalty kick without hesitation.
Usually the penalty kicker is either Lampard or Drogba, but now that Drogba is away and Lampard is in poor condition, everyone is subconsciously looking at the creator Wang Ai. A man who can score difficult goals
Shouldn't a player who takes a direct free kick take a penalty kick?
Unexpectedly, Wang Ai gave the ball to Crespo.
Crespo nodded, and after the referee blew the whistle, he used his stable mentality from competing in competitions for many years. After choosing the landing point, he didn't care about the actions of the opponent's goalkeeper, and directly shot with a heavy head! Schwarzer's judgment was correct, but
There was nothing I could do, this kick was too powerful and too fast.
This was the first time Crespo scored two goals in one game this season, but instead of celebrating, he was the first to run towards the goal, pick up the ball and run back!
Chelsea's morale finally recovered from the defeat.
The spectators in the stands of the Riverside Stadium all had dull expressions, but they still tried their best to shout for their team.
The game has reached the 81st minute, and Chelsea is still trailing by two goals. This score has opened the eyes of users who were lucky enough to watch the TV broadcast of this game.
Regardless of the result, this game set a record in the Premier League this season. No one has dared to deal with Chelsea like this.
