180:Never let the League Cup champion fall by the wayside?
Substitutions: Mourinho made substitutions at the beginning of the second half.
He was replaced by Azpilicueta, who was injured and has not fully recovered from his injury.
He couldn't stand Felipe Luis anymore.
Luis, who was sitting on the bench, looked very ugly, but there was nothing he could do. In this game, he really performed very poorly, whether he was on the left or switching positions to the right, his performance was very poor.
??
Yes, the two full-backs in Chelsea's defense often switch positions.
It's a pity that whether facing Mane or Salah, Luis seems a little irritable.
This puts Chelsea into a passive position in this round of competition.
Trailing 2-0 at halftime.
To be honest, Mourinho did not expect this.
Naturally, he didn't dare to put Lewis on the court anymore, so he had to make substitutions.
I hope Azpilicueta will not disappoint him.
At the beginning of the second half, Chelsea launched a ferocious attack. After passing the ball continuously from the wing, the football came to the feet of Azpilicueta who was advancing forward.
Azpilicueta immediately swung his legs to pass the high ball, but instead swept the football close to the turf toward the center.
In the penalty area, Van Dijk and Laporte reacted quickly, but Costa reacted faster.
Costa slid forward and tackled the rolling football.
He scooped up the football first and shot it directly towards the Crystal Palace goal.
Danger.
The football shot towards the Crystal Palace goal at high speed. Edward jumped out of the side but did not touch the football.
clang!
The football hit the outside of the goal post hard and then bounced off the baseline.
The Chelsea people were not very lucky and the ball missed.
oops!
The Chelsea fans at the scene sighed with Mourinho and were filled with regret.
To be honest, this opportunity is really good, but it's a pity that it's just a bit unlucky.
It seems that this substitution is correct, and Mourinho is relieved. He hopes that Chelsea will continue to play like this. Then Chelsea will still have a chance to compete with Crystal Palace in this game.
When the game restarted, Crystal Palace obviously increased the intensity of their high-pressure, which made it more difficult for Chelsea to pass through the midfield. The game suddenly became very anxious, and the two sides fought for a long time in the middle of the stadium.
The confrontation was so intense that people were often on their backs.
This competition looks very fierce, but it is not exciting enough!
During this period of time, the two teams almost didn't have any great opportunities, and instead they focused all their attention on the midfield struggle.
Seeing this, Mourinho frowned. This is something he didn't want to see. .
After all, they are now two goals behind. If they keep struggling in the midfield, when can they equalize the score?
Now the Crystal Palace people are definitely very happy to spend time in the midfield. As long as it does not threaten their team, the Crystal Palace people can do anything.
In fact, struggling in the midfield confrontation is Tong Yi's tactical purpose.
Therefore, Mourinho immediately made adjustments.
He had to prevent his players from consuming too much physical energy and wasting time in the midfield. Therefore, he instructed the Chelsea players to play long passes directly from the backcourt as far as possible to find Costa in front. Then use Costa as the fulcrum to attack.
, allowing Hazard and Cuadrado to attack around Costa.
Even Cesc Fabregas and Oscar followed suit.
Therefore, the Chelsea people are somewhat leaving the field open, fully deploying their forces at two extremes.
Some people defend in the backcourt, and some go to the frontcourt to attack.
The midfield will be vacated for you.
What should you Crystal Palace people do? If you continue to press high, then almost all your players will be pressed near Chelsea's penalty area. What will you do with your backcourt defense?
If you Crystal Palace players don't press forward and stay in the backcourt, then Chelsea's defensive players can boldly press forward and get closer to your Crystal Palace penalty area.
Therefore, by making such an adjustment, Mourinho threw the problem to Tong Yi.
After Tong Yi saw Mourinho's adjustment, he raised his eyebrows slightly and also made adjustments.
The Crystal Palace frontcourt is still pressuring Chelsea's waiting players from a high position, making these Chelsea players in the backcourt less calm and easy to pass long balls forward. In this case, Chelsea flocked to the attacking players in the frontcourt.
On the contrary, there is no threat and there is no need to pay attention to it at all.
If, at this time, the Crystal Palace people press and steal the ball in the frontcourt, they will be more likely to launch a threatening counterattack.
Therefore, Tong Yi still signaled the Crystal Palace players to press forward.
Seeing this, Mourinho frowned. He really didn't expect this guy Tong Yi to be so aggressive. Crystal Palace was already two goals ahead, and they were still pressing so high. They invested so many troops in the frontcourt to actively press high.
.
This Tong Yi is really a lunatic.
With a bang, Chelsea's backcourt forced a long pass to Costa in front. But as soon as the football flew out, Ignacio blocked it with his body, and the football immediately bounced to Costa on the side.
In front of Lach.
Salah immediately held the ball and looked at Zuma in front of him. Suddenly he pretended to change direction to the left, then quickly spiked the ball to the right and passed Zuma directly. Zuma's center of gravity was deceived and he had no time to turn.
Have to stand
That is, he pulled Salah hard from behind and knocked Salah to the ground.
Yes, it was a foul. Zuma used the foul to stop Salah's attack.
At this time, if he did not foul, Salah would go directly into the penalty area and face Courtois.
If this is not a foul, Chelsea would be doomed!
Mourinho, who was on the sidelines, not only did not complain about Zuma, but also gave Zuma a thumbs up, indicating that his reaction was quick and timely. If it had been later, the goal would have been dangerous.
Taylor still blew the foul whistle and showed Zouma a yellow card.
The Chelsea people were really embarrassed in this game!
It's just because there was a slight mistake in Louis' position that they are so passive now. No wonder Mourinho was so angry just now. It was really a mistake that caused the whole game to be lost! ??
Chelsea still have a chance now, but the chance is slim.
Haven't you seen how well the Crystal Palace players are playing now? Chelsea didn't give them many chances at all.
This is a strong team!
However, even so, neither Mourinho nor Chelsea gave up!
He does not believe that Crystal Palace can continue to be so strong. There will always be a nap in this game. As long as they seize the time and opportunity of the opponent's nap, Chelsea will still have the possibility of reversal.
Therefore, Mourinho still sits firmly on the Diaoyutai.
He stood quietly on the sidelines, called Fabregas beside him, and gave him instructions.
Fabregas looked at the backcourt of Crystal Palace and nodded from time to time. I wonder what tricks Mourinho gave him?
At this time, De Bruyne, Mane and Paulinho were all standing in front of the football.
The battle is huge!
Courtois felt a lot of pressure in front of the goal. These guys all have good shots and free kicks. Especially Paulinho, Courtois really can't predict this guy.
What kind of kick will you use and what kind of shot will you take?
However, Courtois still directed the defense very seriously to prevent the opponent from possible shooting angles.
beep!
At this moment, Taylor blew the whistle for the free throw.
Then Paulinho in front of the football quickly ran over the football and quickly penetrated into the penalty area.
Behind Paulinho, Mane took a slow approach, came to the football and suddenly swung his legs, gently pushing the football towards him. Then De Bruyne quickly rushed out from behind Mane and rushed towards
football.
Danger, this is a tactical free kick!
The Chelsea defenders in the penalty area were shocked. They immediately rushed out and rushed madly in front of the football, preparing to use their own He used his body to block De Bruyne's heavy long-range shot.
Chelsea's defensive players all looked at death as they gritted their teeth and rushed towards the football.
De Bruyne came very quickly and very fiercely. He looked like he was going to blast the goal directly. The Chelsea players naturally had to risk their lives and block the hole of the gun with their bodies.
Some people even rushed out, jumped up, and jumped towards De Bruyne.
However, to everyone's surprise, De Bruyne, who rushed forward quickly, did not take a long shot at all, but instead pushed the ball directly into Chelsea's penalty area.
The football unexpectedly rolled unimpeded to the feet of Paulinho, who moved forward into the space.
Courtois was shocked in front of the goal. He immediately struck out and quickly pounced on Paulinho in the penalty area.
Paulinho did not stop the ball, but pushed the ball directly to the far lower corner of the goal.
Although Paulinho didn't use too much force, he borrowed the power of De Bruyne's through ball, so the ball was still very fast and quickly passed in front of Courtois' outstretched legs to intercept.
It rolled over and then rolled straight towards the lower corner of the far goal.
"Beautiful! Beautiful free kick! Crystal Palace expanded the score again and changed the score to 3-0! There is almost no suspense in this game. Crystal Palace will win the 2014-2015 English League Cup! This is their
He has won this tournament for three consecutive years. Tong Yi from China is really amazing. He is the most powerful legendary godfather in the Premier League!" At this time, Mortensen began to flatter Tong Yi.
Everyone in Chelsea was completely silent!
Is the gap between Chelsea and Crystal Palace so big now?
There are more than 20 minutes left in the game, and Chelsea are actually three goals behind. Is this game still worth playing? Does Chelsea still have a chance?
Mourinho's face on the sidelines was gloomy, and he no longer had the calmness he had before.
This game was really beyond his expectation. He did not expect that the game would progress like this. The Crystal Palace people were in very good condition today and had good luck. Of course, the most important thing was that the Chelsea people themselves made mistakes.
If it weren't for Lewis's mistakes in the first half, the game would never have gone like this.
Mourinho immediately turned his head and looked at the Crystal Palace goal. I wonder what he was thinking?
"There are only about 20 minutes left in the game. I think Chelsea has no chance. Crystal Palace will definitely win this game. David is really amazing. He never lets the League Cup go.
Let’s lose the championship, that’s great!” Shearer was still the most loyal Tong Chui and started bragging crazily at this time.
However, two minutes later, the faces of Shearer and the Crystal Palace people became solemn.
