Seeing Alonso's passing, Ferreira and Gala, who were staying in the backcourt, couldn't help but change their faces. As Chelsea's last line of defense before goalkeeper Akinfeyev, the two knew the importance of their responsibilities and knew even if they were fouled at this time, they would definitely not be able to seize the opportunity to fight a quick counterattack!

"Oh no! Paul (Ferrera), William (Gala)! You two quickly stop the damn ball for me!" At the same time, Mourinho, who saw this scene, was also screaming in his heart. The Portuguese did not expect that George would smartly combine set-piece defense and defensive counterattack, turning a Chelsea corner kick offensive defeat into a great opportunity for Tottenham to act quickly and counterattack!

Although the corner kicks and free kicks in the frontcourt gave Chelsea the opportunity to directly threaten Tottenham's goal, from another perspective, Chelsea, which invested a lot of troops in the frontcourt set pieces, even Tri and Carvalho were involved in it, wasn't it also in a state of empty defense at this time?

And Tottenham is seizing such an opportunity now. After all, except for setting-piece attacks, Terry and Carvalho will basically not go beyond the line. In addition, Mourinho is an expert in this field, so under normal circumstances, it is difficult to reach the top of the game to fight Chelsea!

Alonso's long pass accurately found Robben who was running forward along the left road. Faced with Ferreira's pressing, the Dutch Pan, who had already controlled the ball, did not engage too much with the opponent. He only used a simple change of direction and threw the latter far behind and ate ashes!

It was different from the two who met in the semi-finals of the European Cup last year. At that time, Ferreira had just won the Champions League with Porto, and her competitive state was at the peak of her personal career. At the same time, she relied on her team system and rich game experience to defend the fledgling Robben. Coupled with Edvocart's stupidity and stubbornness, Robben was at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Ferreira.

Now, in the past six months after joining Chelsea, Ferreira has not shown his style as the best right-back in Europe last season, and his condition can only be described as lukewarm; Robben has made extremely obvious progress after returning from injury, and his hot state has even squeezed Ribery to the bench.

As one goes up and down, the two of them naturally ended with Robben's great victory!

Although Robben has used the same trick again and cut inward and directly used a shot to win another goal for Tottenham, it is not safe to do so when it has formed a single shot. After all, Chelsea is not a master who doesn't have a memory. Since he has suffered a big loss on this before, he will naturally take strict precautions against Robben's move at this time. Moreover, compared with the right, Robben's inward shooting on the left is still obviously insufficient.

Therefore, for insurance reasons, Robben chose to dribble the ball and hit Chelsea's penalty area, and had a direct showdown with Akinfeyev, who abandoned the goal!

However, just when everyone was attracted by Robben's single sword, the Dutchman, who was about to confront Akinfeev head-on, made a false move to break through first. After tricking Akinfeev into moving the center of gravity, he shook his left ankle gently and knocked the ball across the other side of the penalty area - there, a white figure had already hit him!

It turned out that at some point, Ronaldo, who was still active in the center line when Alonso used a long pass counterattack, had already followed Robben's pace, and set up a gun mount when Robben passed the ball, waiting for the shells to be delivered!

Facing Ronaldo's close shot, Akinfeyev had no way to turn the tide even if he was possessed by Yasin. He could only watch the ball flew into the goal he guarded again, 2 to zero!

In this way, when Howard Webber blew the whistle to the end of the first half, Tottenham Hotspur, who played at home, temporarily led Chelsea with two goals in this list battle!

After the fifteen-minute halftime break, the players of both sides changed to fight again. However, neither George, who was the leading side or Mourinho, who was temporarily lagging behind, did not make any personnel adjustments to the team's lineup during this period. Obviously, neither of them believed that there was no need to make adjustments, or in other words, they did not think that making substitutions at this time would be of much help to the team's on-court situation!

There is no need to say much about Tottenham. Being able to take two goals in the first half is enough to prove the powerful power of this lineup. George naturally does not need to make adjustments before Mourinho changes his move. As for Chelsea, Mourinho did not choose to substitute, more because he believes that this is the strongest lineup he can send out. Although with Abraham's huge investment, Chelsea's bench depth is almost unbeatable among twenty British clubs, most of the players have no problem completing the tasks assigned by Mourinho step by step, but they lack sufficient creativity on the offensive end, and it is difficult to help the team reverse the decline by oneself.

He is tough but lacks spirituality. He is not easy to be defeated in the game, but he lacks a star who has the ability to break the deadlock on the court. This is the biggest problem with Chelsea now. Although Chelsea has made great changes in this regard after getting Ibrahimovic in this life, the changes that an immature Ibrahimovic can bring to the Blues at this time are really limited.

If it was the mature version of the Swedish God Tower in his previous life, then Vidic and Ridley King would never be so relaxed at this time. Because at that time, Ibrahimovic could not directly hit Tottenham's defense with his top center template body and master-level footwork, and also assist his teammates through outstanding overall situation and passing awareness. Although Ibrahimovic has a little prototype of his previous life under Mourinho's training and has also obtained the offensive autonomy he dreamed of, Rome City was not built in one day. The Swedes still need a lot of time to grow to the height of his previous life!

Therefore, in George's eyes, Chelsea, with Ibrahimovic as the main center, is not as strong as the iron-blooded Blues in his previous life in a short period of time. Because Ibrahimovic, three years younger than Drogba, does not have the defensive enthusiasm of the Côte d'Ivoire, the power of the offensive end has not been fully opened, and Robben was not able to be in place, which makes Chelsea's power on both offense and defense is much weaker than in previous life!

Of course, if Ibrahimovic matures and then equips with some qualified helpers around the Swedes and formulates a complete tactical system, then Chelsea will inevitably become Tottenham's most powerful competitor in the British arena!
