In the 36th minute of the game, Chelsea completed the first shot of the game. It was from Kalau's long shot that was more than 30 yards away from the goal outside the penalty area. It failed to test Navas. Even if he hit the goal range, he was still easily hugged by Navas.
Chelsea, who reached the Champions League final this year, has no strong offensive ability.
In fact, facing opponents with strong ball-control ability, the data of Premier League teams has not been good in recent years. Taking last year's Champions League final as an example, the shooting ratio between Barcelona and Manchester United was an astonishing 19:4.
Manchester United only had 4 shots in the 90 minutes, and scored one goal within the goal range with just one shot, and finally lost 1:3.
Chelsea miraculously reached the Champions League final this year and was predicted before the game that it was impossible to have an advantage in the scene, but it was still somewhat unexpected to face Hamburg's big disadvantage of being almost passive to numb.
The Hamburg forward's active participation in defense is one of the main reasons for their overall efficient defense. In the 39th minute of the game, Reus actively returned to defense and destroyed Mikel's ball under his feet. Rakitic quickly passed the ball diagonally to the right side.
Azpilicueta assisted again, this time he quickly dribbled from Bertrand.
The young player Bertrand became heavier and he gradually fell into a state of loss on the court!
Azpilicueta quickly dribbled in front of Ashley Cole. When the opponent had to press head-on, Azpilicueta passed the ball short to Griezmann and continued to step forward. Ashley Cole was ready to turn around and press back immediately, but Azpilicueta stopped and dribbled the ball when he rushed over and then passed the ball diagonally in front of the penalty area to the right.
De Bruyne followed up and made a cross to deceive Lampard's defense center of gravity and then splashed the ball across the middle. When Mikel came again, De Bruyne and Giroud collided to cooperate to continue cutting across to the left in front of the penalty area.
The light and elegant De Bruyne touched the eyes of everyone in the Chelsea defense line. At this time, he suddenly passed the ball diagonally to the right rib in the penalty area. The pass selection with him was a counter-tangent line, making it difficult for Chelsea defense line to adjust quickly while moving.
David Louis barely jumped and ended up surging!
Griezmann made a forward pass without stopping the ball and directly stepped forward!
Giroud had already taken the lead in the goal lineup, but Cech was perfect in choosing the position, blocking the angle ahead when Giroud was shooting!
The football played by Giroud was directly blocked by Cech with his calf!
All Hamburg fans couldn't help but hug their heads and sigh!
"Incredible! Cech once again magically resolved Hamburg's must-have goal!
Chelsea's defense line seemed to be possessed by a god, and no matter how hard Hamburg hit it, it would not penetrate Cech's ten fingers!
If Chelsea had always been lucky, then they might really be able to seize Hamburger’s mistake to complete the final kill!”
De Bruyne and Reus were still the first to actively launch a counterattack and sabotage Chelsea counterattack offensive.
However, with the decline in physical fitness, the first half came to an end. At this time, Chelsea also began to focus on its strength, and Hamburg's offensive and defensive rhythm inevitably declined!
When Mata gave Drogba a precise pass in the backcourt, Drogba headed the ball to Karau, who was quickly inserted.
Matuidi immediately stepped forward to press Kalau, who wisely chose to knock the ball back to Lampard who followed him, and then the Blues midfielder commander accurately passed the ball to the front of Hamburg's penalty area.
Drogba was entangled with Van Dijk in front. At the moment of the key touch, Van Dijk was too focused on the football and was blocked by the experienced Drogba. Van Dijk, who was staggering, almost fell to the ground. Drogba touched the ball with one step back and faced Boateng and chose to pivot the ball and sway it to sway out of the angle, and then thrust his feet and shot angrily!
The football shot from Warcraft Drogba deviated from the goal, but it could be considered a shooting data.
Hamburg's defense line is in danger.
Van Dijk raised his hand to Boateng to signal that he had failed to keep his guard, with obvious apology on his face.
If he is not afraid of Drogba in terms of physical fitness, then in terms of the details, he is still left behind by Drogba.
If it were a normal game, after 40 minutes of the game, Hamburg would definitely shrink the formation and control the rhythm to increase the probability of not losing the ball before the halftime break.
But today in the Champions League final, they delayed the recovery time of the formation.
The long-term attack has not been ordered to change the mentality of the Hamburg generals.
In the 42nd minute of the game, De Bruyne stepped forward to the right in front of the penalty area and received a return pass from Griezmann. He first pulled the ball back and dodged Lampard's steal, and then knocked the ball across to Rakitic who was inserted behind. The latter made a move to Royce who was inserted forward, forcing Mikel to intercept and block, and then pivoted the ball in a direction and cut across to the middle, followed by a long shot!
The football flew straight to the lower right position in the middle of the goal. Cech jumped and rushed to block the ball with one hand. The blocked football happened to be stopped by Griezmann, who had just entered the penalty area. David Luis rushed to press. Griezmann immediately spiked the ball and dodged it. Then he followed with a shot and shot to hit the ball towards the lower left corner of the goal!
The ball seems to be pretty sure, because Cech just stood up on the goal line near the right post, and it was impossible for him to rush to the left post to save!
Even Griezmann was ready to celebrate and cheer, but at the critical moment, the audience of Allianz Stadium saw Bosingwa flying tackle in front of the left post and tackle the ball outside the penalty area!
The football flew outside the penalty area was just controlled by Mata, and Kante successfully intercepted it. Kante couldn't wait to shoot a shot, but the football was above the crossbar of the Chelsea goal!
Situ Yunbing closed his eyes and took a deep breath!
"Hamburg just couldn't score! Rakitic's long shot was blocked by Cech!
Griezmann's shot should have flew into the Chelsea goal, but Bosingwa saved the ball and tackled it out!
In the end, Kanter's shot exposed his mental anxiety!
Hamburg has shot 18 times!
But no goal!
This is definitely a situation that disappoints Hamburg fans, and maybe in terms of success rate, it is the game that Hamburg has played the lowest goal conversion rate this season!”
Di Matteo may have prayed silently in his heart and worked, or perhaps he had to accept luck in the dark. Chelsea was like being possessed by a god, and the city gate was hard to be broken!
Situ Yunbing was still calm. He calmly commanded the team to retreat to the defense line for rhythm control.
If there is anything worse than not being able to score a goal, it must be a loss, so this situation must be avoided.
Situ Yunbing didn't know whether Chelsea would have a sudden attack, but he didn't want to bet with the other party!
In this game, Hamburg is like a mountain of bargaining chips, while Chelsea has few bargaining chips left. Situ Yunbing wants to take advantage of his opponent, but he will not lose his mind.
After Hamburg retreated to defend and control the rhythm, Chelsea got a chance to breathe, but did not take the risk of trying to hit Hamburg's defense!
Perhaps for Chelsea, it is best to let them return to the locker room to relax now. Young players need to calm down, while veterans need to recover their strength.
When the first half ended, the fans of Hamburg and Chelsea in the stands of the Allianz Stadium finally stopped.
Situ Yunbing turned around and walked into the player passage as usual, and Dimatio breathed a deep breath.
I was worried throughout the first half, but fortunately the team did not concede the goal!
There are 45 minutes left in the game. If you decide the winner in the next 45 minutes, it is hard to say that Chelsea has no chance. And it seems that as long as Chelsea can score a goal, Hamburg will probably really hate it!
After returning to the locker room, Situ Yunbing first asked about the players' physical condition. Griezmann's side was not consumed due to the impact of Azpilicueta's impact and Bertrand's almost no threat, so the consumption was not too high, but Reus was a little too heavy!
Because Chelsea's counterattack is mostly about looking for Karau, Mata, and Lampard are tightly blocked, Mikel's excessive ball rights have increased. Reus will often sprint quickly back and chase back to the center line when counterattacking.
Although he was not the player who created the most threats in the Hamburg front line throughout the first half, he was definitely the one who gave the most physical strength.
Among the midfielders, De Bruyne is active in the front of the opponent's penalty area, and is also young and consumes a lot.
Hamburg coaches, team doctors, and masseurs are actively relaxing their muscles for the players, and they are obviously more hydrated than during the regular game halftime.
Situ Yunbing kept cheering the players in this gap!
Because it is still a draw, Hamburg's momentum cannot be revealed!
It still needs to bombard Chelsea's defense at all costs!
As for when someone can't hold on, Situ Yunbing will definitely choose to replace him.
But it cannot be said now.
When the two teams returned to the stadium and changed sides and fought again, the Allianz Stadium in Munich sounded again with a magnificent cheer!
Hamburg fans may also have some anxiety in their mentality. The situation of not being able to shoot repeatedly will definitely make people anxious, while Chelsea fans will eventually get the opportunity to kill Hamburg with the team!
With the cheers of fans of the two teams motivating the will of the generals on the court, the second half of the game began!
Hamburg immediately launched a strong attack after kicking off!
What caught Chelsea's defense a little off guard was that at the beginning of the second half, Matuidi directly went downstairs to collide with Reus and broke through Bosingwa's defense!
When Matuidi, who was dribbling along the bottom line to the penalty area, sent a cross, the football hit Cahill's arm and bounced out of the bottom line!
Matuidi immediately raised her hand to signal the opponent's handball, while Cahill signaled to the referee that he did not open his arms to expand the defense area. In the end, the referee did not award a penalty and only gave Hamburg a normal corner kick.
Chapter completed!
