After defeating Manchester City, Chelsea had no time to rest at all and ushered in the first round of the Champions League group stage two days later.
In fact, this is an ordinary game. Although it occupies the title of the Champions League, considering the level of opponents, it is not as intense as a Premier League game. However, this is Chelsea's first appearance in the European arena this season, so naturally it is
It's worth paying attention to.
The first focus of the media's attention is that this month is the 50th anniversary of Chelsea's first participation in the European competition. The club attaches great importance to it from top to bottom and hopes to celebrate this good day worth several years with a big victory.
Whether their wish can be realized?
The second focus is on coach Scolari. This game is the first appearance of the new Blues coach in the Champions League. This famous coach has never played in the Champions League. His debut in the Champions League is of absolute significance to Scolari.
Significant. Although the Brazilian deliberately emphasized before the game that "the Champions League is not as important as the League Cup in my opinion", the prince felt that Scolari still lied. The Blues have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League three times in the past four seasons, and
Boss Roman Abramovich’s preference for the Champions League trophy, coupled with the fact that he lost to Manchester United on penalty kicks in Moscow last season and finished second, Scolari would not dare to slack off in the Champions League anyway, otherwise his first season as coach of the Blues would be disappointing.
It is impossible to equate the word "success". Whether he can deliver a perfect answer in his debut, Scolari has had an outstanding experience in the Copa Libertadores, but such qualifications cannot be used in the UEFA Champions League.
If it plays any role, the fans are looking forward to the team singing and advancing under his leadership. This game is a touchstone.
Bordeaux coach Blanco is also a man with a story. Although he has not led his team to participate in this event, at least he has had experience in this event. In fact, until now, the Champions League has
The record for the oldest player to score goals is still held by himself, at 36 years and 339 days old.
In fact, this is a game without any suspense. The media can only find some topics to attract attention. The game itself is not that attractive.
The prince entered the list as expected. He was very disappointed with the failure of the Champions League last season. The beginning of the new season gave him the opportunity to continue to challenge. On the big stage of the Champions League, he vowed not to repeat the same mistakes.
This season's Champions League trophy. He must bring it back to Stamford Bridge. This is the vow he made.
At the beginning of the game, the prince was very active, as if he was very eager to score goals, which rarely happened before. Even if he scored a lot of goals in the game, scoring goals would come naturally, without any deliberate pursuit.
, but it’s different now. The prince is full of obsession with scoring goals. His obsession makes him feel as if he wants to eat the opponent’s goalkeeper alive, which is extremely terrifying.
Seeing how hungry the prince was, his teammates knew that there might be no suspense in today's game and began to play more freely. Whenever there was a chance, the first target of the pass would be the prince.
The core of the Bordeaux team is Gourcuff, a rising star who has just emerged in France. Although he is also a talented person, how can he withstand the ravages of Chelsea generals who are as wolf-like as a 40-year-old woman. After two fouls, he will be honest.
It is like a tiger without teeth. It only has the opportunity to show its teeth and claws, but in fact there is no threat at all.
Before the first half ended, Prince had already scored a hat trick. Coupled with his penalty kick, Chelsea already led the poor visiting team 4:0.
The first goal was a long shot from outside the penalty area. The prince retreated to the midfield to get the ball, broke out from between the two defenders, and kicked the ball hard before the defenders could get in place. The visiting team's goalkeeper's save was in vain.
.There is no way to resist the prince shrouded in the halo of the protagonist.
The second goal came quickly. Prince, Joe Cole and Lampard played a triangle. Finally, Prince entered the penalty area, received the pass and shot into the net.
The third goal was a free kick opportunity, but today happened to catch up with the chance of Prince's free kick error. The full moon scimitar finally hit the goal post and failed to go directly into the net. Fortunately, the ball bounced back into the court, and Prince
He has a keen sense of smell and senses the landing spot first to score.
In addition, the prince also made a penalty kick. It seems that the referee was a little dazzled. The prince was tripped when he broke through the penalty area. It was obviously a free kick outside the penalty area. Although it was not much different from the penalty area line, it was not difficult to distinguish it.
, but the referee was stunned and didn't care about the poor soul of the team that was already 3 goals behind, and selflessly awarded Chelsea a penalty kick.
If it had just started, the Bordeaux players would have protested to the death, but it is different now. They are 3 goals behind, and there is no hope of escaping anyway. As for losing a few goals, they will lose, so it doesn't matter.
It was Lampard who took the penalty kick. This guy was really happy to play today. The team was leading by a big score, and now he still had the opportunity to take a penalty kick. The happiest thing in the world is this.
The first half of the game ended so simply. Chelsea, playing at home, staged a unilateral massacre. Bordeaux was drunk and everything was wasted.
But no one knew what happened in the visiting team's locker room during the halftime break. Chelsea's generals noticed that the visiting team's players' eyes were obviously on fire when they walked into the stadium, and their hatred and angry gazes were about to melt them.
"Be careful, I think things have changed. Let's focus and don't give our opponents a chance to counterattack!" Terry has experienced battles for a long time and knows that the visiting team coach must have used some kind of provocation method. In this state of being about to go berserk, Terry
The enemy is the most difficult to deal with. Although we are leading by a large margin, who knows whether the situation will change suddenly.
However, the captain's reminder did not make the players be more vigilant. The players headed by the prince were still enjoying the fruits of victory leisurely and leisurely.
What awaited them was Bordeaux's violent attack.
Chelsea kicked off first, Prince passed the ball to Drogba, the Elephant King passed the ball back to Deco, Deco split the ball, Joe Cole just got the ball and before he had time to make a move, he was knocked down by a brutal tackle from his opponent.
.
The referee's whistle sounded very timely, but it could not change the fact that Joe Cole was injured by the shovel. There was a big gash in his leg. It was dripping with blood and his socks looked like they were stained.
The prince pushed away the opponent's player who was still pretending to be innocent after the foul, and the players from both teams also rushed to prevent their teammates from suffering.
The referee saw the bleeding on Joe Cole's leg and quickly asked the Blues medical team to come in for inspection and treatment. He called the player who had committed the foul and showed him a yellow card, and then pointed it at the prince who had just pushed someone.
A yellow card was shown to show fairness.
A yellow card doesn't matter to the prince. The key is whether Joe Cole's injury is serious or not. Chelsea's situation is so good this year. If they fall short due to injuries, the gain will not be worth the loss.
Fortunately, Joe Cole only suffered a traumatic injury. His leg was rubbed by a shoe spike, and no muscles or bones were injured. Fortunately, this game is not a big deal. Scolari quickly asked Malouda to warm up and prepare to play.
The game continued. Belletti handed a free kick to Deco. Just as the Brazilian was about to show his organizational skills, the Bordeaux players knocked him down with brutal moves. Although it did not cause any harm, it will leave a shadow on people's psychology.
.
In this way, Bordeaux went against the elegance of French football and used their strong bodies and muscles to speak for themselves on the field. Frequent fouls made it impossible for Chelsea to control the rhythm. The whistles on the field kept sounding, and the midfielders fell on their backs one after another.
This was the tactic arranged by the Bordeaux coach during the halftime break. Bronk was like a cunning fox, using conspiracy and trajectory to make Chelsea lose its sharpest weapon.
Bordeaux's ferocious fouls gradually made the Chelsea players feel a little helpless. After all, the body is their own. If they are accidentally disabled by their opponents, resting and recuperating is not a big deal, and it will not be worth it if they are taken away from their main position. So they started to become more
Be careful.
Slowly, the Bordeaux team began to take advantage, and soon the advantage turned into goals. Gourcuff's creativity was extraordinary, and he penetrated Chelsea's defense with a hidden through ball. He was substituted in the second half.
Kavinagy, who came on the field, successfully countered offside and succeeded in taking a shot from the attacking goalkeeper.
No one can do anything about this kind of ball. Sometimes a genius player has a sudden flash of inspiration, and no matter how strong you are, you may not be able to stop him.
After the goal, the morale of the Bordeaux team became even higher and they completely suppressed Chelsea. This happened for the first time in a Chelsea game this season.
Soon, the visiting team scored another goal, this time a free kick. Gourcuff, who is versatile and versatile, is also a good player at free kicks. His curved ball bypassed the wall and went into the goal.
Cech was humiliated.
The situation on the field began to go against Chelsea. No one expected that the opponent would suddenly explode in the second half and catch up with two goals in a row. Although there was still a two-goal advantage, if the game continued like this, no one could guarantee the outcome of the game.
You can still be ahead of the curve.
The prince counterattacked with the ball, but the opponent still adopted foul tactics and did not allow Chelsea's offense to continue at all. Although as many as seven players had been shown yellow cards, they were not afraid at all and continued to go their own way.
Scolari was also anxious off the court. He looked at Blanc, who was sitting on the visiting team's bench next door, and thought to himself that he was really a despicable guy. He didn't dare to compete openly and justly, and he only used dirty tricks.
But this trick happens to work well for Chelsea, or it is effective for every strong team. The players of the strong teams are all first-class stars. As long as they are not the kind of players whose willpower is due to an iron wall, they will be afraid of injury. Here,
Playing football in such an environment is definitely not going to be as easy as a duck in water.
