April 6, Stamford Bridge Stadium, London, England.
When the game reached the 26th minute, just three minutes after Chelsea broke the deadlock, Valencia planned an offensive on the right. After Rufitt broke through with the ball on the right side of the penalty area, he sent a low pass.
middle.
At this moment, there are five Chelsea players in the penalty area, and they have all returned to their defensive positions.
And there is only one person in Valencia.
That is Su Dong.
Right in front of the goal, Sudong leaned on Gallas with his body and the French central defender behind him. When he saw Rufitt passing the low ball, he quickly ran sideways to the right along the edge of the small penalty area.
, ahead of John Terry, the crowd suddenly fired angrily, directly hitting Rufitt's cross towards the goal.
Cudicini reacted quickly and jumped to save the ball, but was unable to reach it.
The ball was like a cannonball, drilling into the right side of Chelsea's goal at great speed.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"It's Su Dong's goal again!"
"One to one! Just three minutes after Valencia fell behind, Su Dong equalized the score for the Bats!"
"Compared to the first round, tonight's game is really exciting!"
"Both teams adopted a more aggressive tactical approach, especially after the start. Both Chelsea and Valencia adopted an offensive approach, which made the game very exciting and fast-paced."
"The score is now one to one, and the total score is three to one. Valencia is temporarily in the lead!"
…
There were loud boos at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea fans wildly booed Su Dong as he celebrated his goal.
The two head coaches on the sidelines had different expressions.
Ranieri had a heavy look on his face, looking as if he was several years older than in the first round and lacked energy.
This was not just because of the defeat in the first round, nor just because Sudong equalized the score and scored a valuable away goal, but also because before the game, Ranieri already knew that he was going to be dismissed!
He did not get the information from the club management, but was told by media reporters.
Chelsea are in contact with Porto manager Jose Mourinho.
His agent became a guest at Stamford Bridge today.
How does it feel when you know you are going to be dismissed from get out of class before the game?
Heartbroken?
indignant?
Or, there are still some who are unwilling to give in.
But no matter what, Ranieri can't change anything.
It was as if, after Su Dong scored this valuable away goal, the difficulty of Chelsea's comeback became several times greater.
Even though the total score was three to one, only two goals were missing, Valencia had an away goal and Chelsea had to score three more goals to win.
But is this possible?
…
possible!
Benitez always makes safe plans.
Therefore, after Su Dong scored, the first thing he did was to call Ayala and Albelda to the sidelines, give them instructions, and remind them to pay attention to defense.
"Then they're going to have to fight hard!"
"They have no other choice but to attack desperately, so we have to hold on, just like in the first round, guard our goal, and there will be opportunities to attack in the frontcourt!"
Valencia's players have no doubts about Benitez, and they all know that an away goal in hand is equivalent to pushing Chelsea to a dead end.
Now, they have no other choice but to attack desperately.
…………
…………
Sure enough, Chelsea began to attack desperately.
The Blues players were well aware of their situation and didn't even need to be reminded by the head coach as they all charged towards Valencia.
The Bat Corps retreated across the board and responded to Chelsea's offensive with a defensive counterattack.
Su Dong helps defend from the front and is also ready to counterattack at any time.
The wait lasted about ten minutes.
Seeing that the time was about to enter forty minutes, Chelsea's players began to become a little impatient.
Time is not good for them!
But at this moment, Valencia intercepted the ball in midfield and launched a quick counterattack.
Vicente quickly dribbled the ball forward from the left and just passed the center line, sending a diagonal pass with his left foot.
Sudong caught Vicente's diagonal pass between Gallas and Terry, and when he stopped the ball, he sent the ball directly behind the defense. He suddenly started and rushed between the two Chelsea central defenders as quickly as possible.
At this moment, Su Dong's speed is most vividly demonstrated!
Not to mention the tall and strong Terry, not even Gallas could keep up with him.
After rushing past, Su Dong caught up with him at the front of the penalty area. Before Cudicini could reach his attack, he lightly touched the ball with his right foot.
The ball passed over Cudicini's head and slowly fell towards the goal behind the Italian goalkeeper.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!"
"Two goals!"
"Su Dong! It's Su Dong again!"
"God, this is his twelfth goal in the Champions League this season!"
"He can do anything!"
"It's unbelievable!"
"Is he really only nineteen?"
…
It seems that Su Dong's goal also stimulated Chelsea.
Just three minutes later, Blues full-back Melchiot suddenly drove up with the ball. After completing a beautiful one-two with Good Johnson, he passed the ball diagonally to the front of the penalty area. Lampard stepped in from the back row and grabbed the ball.
Before Baraja took the shot, he accurately volleyed and hit the lower left corner, equalizing the score for Chelsea again.
The entire Stamford Bridge stadium burst into thunderous cheers.
At the same time, more and more Blues fans are calling on the team to score more goals quickly.
They must score three more goals!
This is an almost impossible task!
But as long as the game is not over, as long as the Blues can maintain their fighting spirit, who dares to say that this can't happen?
…
Just when Chelsea tried to give it a try and score another goal before the end of the first half, there was another quick counterattack from Valencia. Vicente passed Melchiot on the left and drove straight in.
A cross was sent from the left side of the penalty area.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Su Dong, Gallas and Terry rushed to the penalty area at the same time. Facing Vicente's pass, Su Dong jumped high.
, blocked Terry with his back, suppressed Gallas in front with his body, and under the attack of two world-class central defenders, he just grabbed the header and shook his head to attack the goal.
The ball was blasted into Chelsea's goal again!
Three to two!
The whole Stamford Bridge fell into a deathly silence!
All the Chelsea fans stared at the stadium with their mouths open, looking in disbelief at the No. 9 player who ran to celebrate the goal.
is this real?
How did he do that?
Why was he able to equalize or even go ahead when Chelsea was ahead, but then he scored again after Chelsea equalized?
How on earth did he do it?
No one can answer the doubts and shock of Chelsea fans!
Su Dong sprinted excitedly at Stamford Bridge and even rushed in front of the home team's bench.
He just wanted to let Desailly see it.
He saw Desailly's dark, stinky face, which was really, really interesting.
Angry?
I just like the way you are so angry that you can't kill me!
…
After Su Dong scored a hat-trick, Chelsea seemed exhausted.
Valencia's strategy is very clear, which is to defend and counterattack.
As long as Chelsea continues to attack, Valencia will defend to the end, and the Blues have no way to guarantee that their goal can still remain stable after a violent attack.
Therefore, after changing sides and fighting again in the second half, Chelsea's offensive slowed down a bit.
This made the Blues fans in the stands very dissatisfied, thinking that the team was too conservative.
Especially Ranieri, this old Italian man has always been criticized for his conservatism, and now it even triggered boos from the audience.
Not only did the management want him fired, but even the fans disliked him.
There are so many stars, but they still play like this?
If you don’t leave get out of class, who will?
…………
…………
In the presidential stand, Jorge Mendes put his hands in front of him and rubbed them constantly.
He was not nervous, but excited.
Even though he was sitting next to Abramovich, one of the world's top richest men, he was not nervous at all.
Because he has confidence!
Mendes' confidence came from Su Dong who performed a hat trick under the stands.
If Chelsea wants to introduce Su Dong, they must have a good discussion with his agent.
In this matter, money is not very useful.
…
"Jorge, are you really sure you can convince Mourinho to coach us at Chelsea?"
Peter Kenyon doesn't care about the game off the pitch.
As early as Su Dong scored the first goal, he already knew that there was no suspense in the game.
The offensive battle in the first half was nothing more than a fig leaf for Chelsea.
To put it bluntly, there is nothing the Blues can do against Valencia.
Especially Ranieri.
What Peter Kenyon really cares about is a coaching change.
Abramovich wants the best head coach, which is unrealistic because none of the best will come to coach Stamford Bridge.
Mourinho has a good record this season. Not only did he win the Portuguese Super League ahead of schedule, he also performed well in the Champions League.
In the group stage, they were inferior to Real Madrid, but after entering the knockout rounds, Mourinho's targeted tactics came into full play. First, they eliminated Ferguson's Manchester United, and now they eliminated Ligue 1 class leader Lyon, taking the lead in reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League.
According to the schedule, Porto only needs to defeat Deportivo to advance to the final first.
This young coach is not very well-known, but his coaching ability, especially the training system he created for Porto, has been highly praised in the European professional football circle. Many people believe that he is a good coach.
The success of the season comes precisely from the effectiveness of this training system.
Peter Kenyon believes that instead of blindly pursuing top coaches, it is better to choose a cutting-edge young coach like Mourinho.
They are more advanced, more thoughtful, and more eager to achieve results.
This is something that top coaches who have already become famous do not have.
"Don't worry, as long as you have no problem, I can convince him!" Mendes said confidently.
He is very aware of the current situation in Portuguese football. A group of people led by Mourinho are eager to escape from that place of right and wrong. At this time, Chelsea extends an olive branch, how can he refuse?
Peter Kenyon nodded, he believed in Mendes' strength.
At this moment, Abramovich, who had been silent, suddenly turned his head and stared at Mendes.
