After the group mocking of Joe Cole, the game restarted with the intervention of the referee. For this reason, Drogba, who had just been favored by a beautiful woman, also received a yellow card because he had just teased Joe Cole.
He worked the hardest, and even continued to make trouble when others had stopped. As a result, he was given a yellow card by the referee with a black look on his face.
After the game restarted, Chelsea continued to control the situation of the game.

Chelsea expanded the score in the 25th minute. Malouda and Terry consecutively headed the ball into the right side of the penalty area. Lampard shot from a small angle and Nicopolidis missed. The prince naturally did not miss the opportunity to make a supplementary shot into the empty net.
His first goal in the Champions League. However, after scoring the goal, the prince strolled back to the midfield as if nothing happened. He showed no excitement at all, leading everyone to speculate that it was because he had not taken advantage of the beauty just now, which led to endocrine disorders.
The most basic human emotions are gone.
In the 33rd minute, Lampard made a breakthrough pass from the left. Kalou was tripped by Stoltidis when he shot in the penalty area. The referee did not give a penalty. Joe Cole followed up from outside the penalty area and shot higher.

At the end of the first half, Chelsea led Greek giants Olympiacos by three goals.
During the halftime break, neither team made any personnel adjustments. Grant felt that the situation was going very well and there was no need to make substitutions; while the visiting team's coach might have failed, and there was no hope for the game anyway, so it didn't matter.
After a short break in the midfield, the two sides continued to play. The situation was as boring as the first half. The offensive and defensive battle in the half was definitely uninteresting. If Chelsea's goals were not there to support it, this game would have been boring.
It will become completely useless.
In the 53rd minute, Kalou made a direct pass, and Lampard's low shot from 12 yards on the right side of the penalty area missed the far corner.

Confiscated after blocking.
In the 70th minute, Kalou passed the ball and Lampard fell down on the edge of the penalty area. The referee thought he had fallen and gave him a yellow card. This was the referee's unfair penalty for several times. Although it was Chelsea's home court, he
There was no care. Not only that, several penalties were given in favor of the visiting team. His behavior also caused dissatisfaction among the players. But fortunately, the team was able to ensure victory. There was no need to bother with him too much.
Everyone knows that it is not a good thing to have trouble with the referee on the court.
However, the fans at the scene didn't care about this. Seeing that the referee was so unreasonable, they booed loudly for a while. They wanted to boo him until he peed his pants or had a prostate attack and couldn't urinate. Of course, suffocating him to death would be the best.
In the 74th minute, Little Wright, who had just replaced Kalou, won a free kick in the frontcourt. This was a good opportunity to score. Everyone knows that Prince's free kick is a human weapon.
The free kick from 30 yards directly penetrated Nicopolidis' defense. This was already Chelsea's fourth goal. In the 77th minute, Essien replaced Lampard. Chelsea also started to shrink appropriately.
, and the substitution after two minutes directly announced the end of the game, and the prince was replaced by Anelka.
"I'm glad we made it to the next round, it was a good game. Olympiacos is a strong team and I'm very happy to beat them." Grant said in the post-match interview that he didn't spout any vitriol.
Evaluating the opponent, the game has been won anyway, so there is no need to offend too many people. "The players played very maturely on the field, and we controlled the ball most of the time. Sometimes we need to be patient during the game, and sometimes we need to let it go."
The ball moves quickly, we did all that."
In today's game, Chelsea's ball possession rate was as high as 77% and the number of shots was as high as 28, while the visiting team only had a pitiful 3 shots. These data also truly reflect the comparison between the two teams on the scene.
Although the main goalkeeper Petr Cech was out due to injury, the second goalkeeper Cudicini ensured that the team did not lose the goal. This also allowed Chelsea to last more than 600 minutes without conceding a goal in the Champions League. In Grant's view,
There are two things that ensure the team does not concede a goal: "First of all, our defense is very good. Secondly, in most games our ball possession rate exceeds 60%. This is the best defense."
.If the team can continue like this, then we will continue to keep clean sheets, then anything can happen."
In the next game, Chelsea is likely to encounter teams from the Premier League, but in Grant’s view, no matter which team they encounter, the game will be very difficult: “Any team that can enter the quarterfinals will be very difficult.
It’s not easy to deal with. We come from a difficult group, and both teams in that group have entered the quarter-finals (Chelsea and Schalke 04). I think there is no team that can enter the quarter-finals that is not very good.
Team.”
Chelsea has shown strong momentum in recent games, and Grant also expressed satisfaction with this: "I am very confident about the team. I have been quite confident from the first day I took over this team. So far, the team's performance
It's running well and I'm more happy with the team's progress than the game results."
"Hey, big man, how does it feel to be kissed by a beautiful woman? Isn't it very ecstasy?" There are always a few naughty people in the team. Mikel, who did not play, couldn't help but come over to tease the players after they came off the field.
Didier Drogba was just forcibly kissed by a naked woman.
"Of course, so be it, you are envious, but you can't be envious. Let's wait until you have a brother who is so handsome and handsome." This guy doesn't even look at what he looks like, so he has the nerve to criticize others.
"Okay, you are handsome and chic, let's see what you do when you go home!" Mikel silenced Drogba with just one sentence. Everyone knows that although the Elephant King is invincible on the court, he is a good boy at home.
Boy, he doesn't dare to chase the chicken even if his wife asks him to go east.
"Well, if you are a man, you will still be a man when you go home." Drogba argued forcefully.
"Well, I'll call Lala later and tell her about the manly man you are." There are always people who are not afraid of big things.
"Uh, there's no need. How about we talk about our feelings and treat you to a drink tonight?" Drogba flinched. A man whose fatal weakness is caught is miserable.
"You think you can get it done with just one meal? Today you have to invite the whole team to celebrate your goal, and tomorrow you invite me alone!" Mikel seemed to be pushing the envelope a bit, but he knew Drogba would not refuse.
"You're cruel, just wait!" Drogba must not bow his head in words, but he has already acquiesced to the fact that he wants to treat him.
Chelsea has finally eliminated the first obstacle on the road to the Champions League, but the draw ceremony for the top 8 matches has not yet been carried out, so it is not yet known which powerful team they will encounter. This time is in the middle of the month, that is, in the league
The day after the game against Derby County.
Different from the previous lottery rules for the group stage and quarter-finals, the quarter-final matchup situation will no longer have special regulations such as "avoidance of teams from the same country" and "avoidance of opponents in the same group", but will be completely random.
It will generate the quarter-final matchup situation, and will also draw out the divisional situation of future semi-finals and even finals. Theoretically, it is possible that the top four of the Premier League will face teams from other countries in the quarter-finals.
situation, there is also the possibility that they all appear in the same half area and "kill each other" continuously.
If there is a "Premier League civil war", then the most attractive matchup situation should be Manchester United vs. Arsenal or Chelsea vs. Liverpool. As the two most successful teams in the history of the Premier League, Manchester United and Arsenal have left countless behind in the domestic arena.
record of a classic collision, but they have never competed on the Champions League stage. Therefore, countless people expect Ferguson and Wenger to change the stage to compete. At the same time, this season's Premier League champion is likely to also compete between these two teams.
The situation arises between the teams and is expected to eventually evolve into a "two-line championship" situation between the two teams.
Contrary to the situation of Manchester United and Arsenal, the competition between Chelsea and Liverpool in the league has not been too fierce in recent years, but they have had direct dialogue in the Champions League in the past three seasons. Judging from past history, when
When Mourinho faces Benitez in the European battlefield, it is the latter who usually has the last laugh. Now that Chelsea's head coach has been replaced by Grant, people are also looking forward to seeing a new version of the "Red and Blue Hegemony"
.
In addition to the "Premier League Civil War", the draw ceremony may also produce other stimulating results. For example, Chelsea and Barcelona are also rivals who have met every year in the past three seasons. The collision between them will involve
Countless historical grievances. As for Roma, who suffered a 1-7 defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford last season, they may hope to face the same opponent again this time and get a chance to take revenge with their own hands.
