When Su Yun entered the Stamford Bridge stadium, Chelsea fans gave Su Yun the highest cheers. All Chelsea fans stood up and applauded Su Yun.
And a huge banner appeared on the north stand.
There is a big portrait of Su Yun on it. It is a portrait of Su Yun raising his hands in the air and cheering after scoring a goal.
Next to it it says "You are the best!".
There has been a lot of criticism about Su Yun in the newspapers recently.
Two years ago, the newspapers said that Su Yun had no experience of winning a top league championship. He always failed at important moments, almost exactly the same as Kevin Keegan back then.
Many media said that if this continues, Su Yun's achievements will only stop here.
Of course, with Chelsea's strength in the Premier League this season, this kind of discussion has begun to disappear. But they can still find an excuse for Su Yun.
They now criticize Su Yun for being an expert in civil war but an amateur at foreign war.
I think Chelsea are a bastard.
The newspapers these days are like this.
They criticized Chelsea for losing face in the Premier League. It was worse than when Vialli was at Chelsea. Countless hats were placed on Su Yun's head.
But now the Chelsea fans at Stamford Bridge use this performance to give Su Yun their greatest support.
Su Yun is the best manager in Chelsea history.
Chelsea fans' support for Su Yun comes from the bottom of their hearts.
They do not allow the media to abuse Chelsea's head coach like this. Therefore, at this moment, all the fans at Stamford Bridge used this form to show their support for Su Yun.
When Topmüller shook hands with Su Yun, he looked at the fans at Stamford Bridge in surprise. It is normal for players to be cheered by fans, and of course it is not uncommon for head coaches to be cheered by fans.
But cheers like Su Yun's now are really rare.
Topmüller was surprised that the fans in the entire stadium gave their coach such cheers and support.
Su Yun is grateful for the fans' support.
So he waved to the fans and soon received even louder cheers.
Nearly three minutes.
Chelsea fans all stood up and applauded and cheered for Su Yun.
"It seems that Chelsea's poor performance in the Champions League has not affected Su Yun's status in Chelsea's mind."
Martin Taylor said with a smile.
"Of course. It has been less than two years since Su Yun came to Chelsea and he has already brought five championships to Chelsea. Of course Chelsea fans support Su Yun."
"Well. It should be."
Martin nodded.
"The game is about to start. Let's first introduce the lineups of both sides. The goalkeeper on Leverkusen's side is Bute. The defense is Placente, Lucio, Nowotny, Sebecen, and the midfielder is Bas.
Turck, Ballack, Ramilao, Schneider, and the strikers are veterans Kirsten and Neuville."
"Look at the lineup of the home team Chelsea. The goalkeeper is Cudicini, the defense is Solin, Terry, Desailly, and Panucci, and the midfielder is Zenden, Lampard, Williams, and Bobos.
Ki. The front line is Zola and Eto'o."
…………
Chelsea fans' support for Su Yun is just the appetizer.
The highlight is still in the competition.
Su Yun really wanted to avenge his shame. But Su Yun was not in a hurry. After so many years, Su Yun also summed up his own set of coaching methods.
The more tense the moment, the more important the game, the more you need to stay calm.
Especially as a head coach.
Once you lose your composure, it is impossible for the team to win.
Therefore, although Su Yun wanted to win this game, Chelsea did not take advantage of their home court advantage to attack their opponents after the game started.
And Su Yun doesn't have the capital to attack Leverkusen.
Leverkusen's midfielders are very strong.
Ramilao, Ballack, and Schneider are all players with very strong running ability. Their destructive power in the midfield is amazing. With Chelsea's current offensive capabilities, in addition to being able to do things on the wings, they are basically useless in the center.
Unable to effectively complete the attack.
Su Yun and others.
Su Yun analyzed Leverkusen's last fifteen games these days.
After analysis, Su Yun was absolutely sure.
Su Yun believes that there is no head coach in Europe who has analyzed Leverkusen like Su Yun. Even Leverkusen's coach himself has not analyzed his players so clearly.
The game passed by minute by second.
Chelsea neither attacked nor defended. Anyway, they opened up their stance in the midfield and started to struggle with Leverkusen's midfielder.
Various grabs for the ball, various coordination, and various fouls in the midfield.
Anyway, it was a mess.
Su Yun stared at Lucio.
Several Chelsea players are also eyeing Lucio.
Su Yun knows one thing. The more times like this, the more Lucio will move forward. This is a habit he left behind when he was a forward.
Su Yun's guess was correct at all.
Lucio is a very restless central defender.
Lucio played as a forward back then. Unfortunately, the most indispensable thing in Brazil is offensive players, and good forwards come one after another. Just look at the Brazilian forwards in this decade.
Needless to say, super forwards like Romario and Ronaldo.
Everton and Elber, who are now dominating the Bundesliga, can't even get into the national team. If they want to play in the World Cup in this life, they have no chance at all. This is the current situation of Brazilian football.
This is also the tragedy of many Brazilian forwards.
There are too many good players.
There is no future as a striker.
In desperation, he retreated. He retreated all the way and became a central defender.
But I couldn't suppress the restlessness in my heart to move forward.
So he scores a lot of goals.
This time is no exception.
Lucio watched the game reach a stalemate, and could not suppress the restlessness in his heart. Of course, Lucio was not the kind of brainless person. He would not go up hastily.
He also saw the opportunity.
This time is no exception.
He kept watching from behind, looking for an opportunity to intervene.
In the 32nd minute of the first half, Lucio finally saw an opportunity. Lampard had just passed to interfere with Ramilao, and Williams was pressed by Basturk in his own half.
.
There is some distance between Lampard and Williams.
There is a lot of space in the middle.
Therefore, Lucio, who received Ramilao's return pass, did not hand the ball to Ramilao as usual, but suddenly started.
Lucio's explosive power and absolute speed are very fast. Even Eto'o may not necessarily surpass Lucio's explosive power and absolute speed.
He is truly worthy of being a striker.
In just two steps, he surpassed Ramilao and Lampard.
He suddenly broke into the midfield forcefully.
Lucio's intervention was at a good time. As usual, Lucio's intervention was not just for a sudden attack. He also wanted to complete the entire offensive task.
"Lucio. He didn't stop. He kept going in. Lucio, he passed to Ballack... Ballack's pass, it was a one-two!"
Lucio is indeed very bold.
All the way to the edge of Chelsea's penalty area. Lucio had no intention of letting go, and he handed the ball to Ballack.
Because of Basturk's restraint, Williams was behind.
Ballack pushed lightly and played a one-two with Lucio.
Ballack's passing was perfect.
It happened to be passed near the Chelsea penalty area.
"Lucio...no, Terry's tackle!"
When Lucio came up, Terry was already waiting there. After seeing the features of Lucio's insertion edited by Su Yun, Terry had a deep understanding of Lucio's technical characteristics.
You can even guess Lucio's movement characteristics, running routes, etc.
When Lucio passed the ball to Ballack, Terry made a good judgment.
Lucio and Ballack were definitely going to play a one-two. So Terry was already prepared. When Ballack passed the ball, he stepped forward and made a beautiful tackle.
"Terry, shovel the ball to Williams."
It should be said that Terry's tackle went to Williams' feet, rather than Terry's conscious pass to Williams.
After Williams got the ball, Basturk quickly harassed Williams.
Williams' passing ability is very poor.
But it is very explosive.
He didn't get entangled with Basturk. Instead, he suddenly accelerated and passed Basturk, and then made a long pass.
What does it mean to be steady, accurate and ruthless?
Williams' long pass is sure and accurate.
Stability is the characteristic of Williams' passing. Accuracy is the ability of Williams to pass the ball. Ruthlessness means that long passes can always reach the weak spots of the opponent's defensive line.
What Williams was looking for was the gap left by Lucio's insertion.
It was in the huge space between Novotny and Placent.
"Williams, long pass... Eto'o, Eto'o. Leverkusen's position was empty, and they failed to close the space left by Lucio. Eto'o, he is very fast.
quick!"
Same as Terry.
Eto'o was roaming in the frontcourt, also looking for Leverkusen's space.
Therefore, when he saw Williams taking the ball, Eto'o did not hesitate at all. He did not consider at all what to do if Williams could not pass the ball? What to do if the passed ball was inaccurate?
This kind of thing is not in Eto'o's consideration at all.
In the Chelsea team, Williams is the best at medium and long passes.
Eto'o rarely even saw Williams make any mistakes in these passes.
Therefore, he directly inserted into Leverkusen's space.
Of course, Williams' pass arrived on time. Williams' pass was very comfortable, right in Eto'o's running route. Eto'o didn't need to slow down at all to receive Williams' ball comfortably.
.
Eto'o started running. Nowotny and Placent had no time to defend. Their speed was Eto'o's opponent.
"Eto'o, Eto'o! She door!"
"goooooooooooooal!!!!!!!!!!"
"Eto'o, Eto'o. He opened the scoring for Chelsea in the 35th minute of the game. Chelsea currently leads Leverkusen 1-0 at home."
Su Yun stepped forward excitedly and waved his fist.
marvelous.
It's you who will be beaten.
Su Yun looked at Lucio who lowered his head and went back. A smile appeared on his face. He said to Clark next to him: "What a good player."
"Samuel's goal is beautiful."
Clark responded to Su Yun.
Su Yun shook his head.
He smiled and said: "I'm not talking about Samuel. I'm talking about Eto'o. He is a good player. He has been trained for two years. He must be the best central defender in the entire European football world."
