"Football never has only one choice. Some people choose to be appreciated, but I choose to be feared!"
"I have never denied that Barcelona's football is very gorgeous, but football that is respected by others is what we pursue!"
"Many people like to appreciate Barcelona's gorgeous football. At Stamford Bridge, I hope they can look at our football with awe!"
…
This is what Mourinho said in an interview with the media at the pre-match press conference.
Obviously, he has had enough of the outside world questioning his coaching philosophy, even if he tops the Premier League standings.
He said that Chelsea's Stamford Bridge had only been attacked three times in the Premier League this season, but the media reporter turned around and mentioned that Barcelona has two superstars, Sudong and Ronaldinho.
He said that Barcelona's defense was as fragile as tofu, but as soon as the media reporters turned around, they mentioned Drogba's embarrassing scoring efficiency as the team's center and his rough footwork.
He and his team have had enough of this!
The moment they walked into Stamford Bridge, their eyes were burning with fire.
They want to prove their strength to everyone, and they want the whole world to see them.
They are a team, a great team made up of great players!
…………
…………
Chelsea formed a 4-4-2 formation.
The goalkeeper is Cech, the defense is a combination of Gallas, Carvalho, Terry and Ferreira, the midfielder is Duff, Lampard, Makelele and Joe Cole, and the double forwards are Good Johnson and
Drogba.
Barcelona still continues its traditional four-three-three formation.
The goalkeeper is Valdes, the defense is Van Bronckhorst, Oleg, Puyol and Belletti, the midfielder is Marcos, Deco and Xavi are forward, and the front three is Ronaldo.
Jordinho, Sudong and Iniesta.
Barcelona youngster Iniesta continues to replace Giuly.
From the first minute of the game, Barcelona controlled the ball.
Technical advantages allowed Barcelona to control the ball with ease, but they failed to organize an effective attack.
But the first attack of the game came in the second minute. Van Bronckhorst fouled on the left side of his own half, giving Chelsea a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt. Lampard took the free kick and lobbed it into the penalty area.
Goalkeeper Valdez made a serious mistake when he went out to catch the ball. Terry's shot went high.
Although he failed to score a goal, this mistake made everyone tremble.
Puyol was shocked and roared at his teammates.
"Damn it! Please cheer me up!"
But sometimes, just shouting doesn't work.
In the eighth minute, Lampard intercepted Xavi and quickly sent the ball to the frontcourt. Drogba grabbed the first spot and handed the ball to Good Johnson, who got the ball in the penalty area.
When Legg quickly chased back, he couldn't hold back his momentum and actually slipped and fell in the penalty area.
Good Johnson easily hit the volley and opened the scoring for Chelsea!
The entire Stamford Bridge stadium suddenly burst into excitement.
Gudjohnson himself found it unbelievable. He was obviously blocked, but who would have thought that Oleg would slip on his own?
…
After conceding a goal first, Barcelona's performance still failed to improve.
Su Dong kept running in the frontcourt, but the ball in the middle and backcourt could not come out.
Chelsea's pressure was very strong, especially in the midfield and frontcourt. This put Barcelona's defense under pressure, and once the ball was intercepted, they quickly counterattacked.
In the 13th and 14th minutes, Chelsea made two consecutive quick counterattacks that reached Barcelona's penalty area. In one of them, Lampard had no one to defend him and it was he who hit the goal high.
There was a commotion in front of the goal, and everyone could see that Barcelona would lose another goal sooner or later.
Sure enough, just two minutes later, Chelsea quickly counterattacked. Joe Cole dribbled the ball away from Van Bronckhorst on the right, cut inside and fired a powerful volley. Valdes made the save in front of the goal, and Lampard easily followed up.
The follow-up shot was successful.
Two to zero!
crazy!
Totally crazy!
Conceded two goals in less than twenty minutes?
What was even more unexpected was that Chelsea attacked again two minutes later. Joe Cole still sent a direct pass from the middle. After Duff used his speed to get rid of all the defensive players, he broke into the penalty area and got ahead of the attacking Valdez.
, calmly scored with a low shot.
Three to zero!
But at this time, the time was only nineteen minutes!
…
Su Dong looked in the direction of the goal with some disbelief.
Duff had already started celebrating wildly and quickly rushed out of the stadium.
Chelsea players rushed out one after another, with excitement and pride written all over their faces.
In less than twenty minutes, they were leading 3-0. This was definitely a crazy slaughter.
What's even more terrible is that this is the first time Barcelona has conceded a goal like this?
Against Bayern Munich, against Real Betis, and now against Chelsea, we have all lost like this.
What's going on with Barcelona these days?
…
"Are you crazy?" Puyol roared furiously.
The Barcelona captain was going crazy.
What the hell is going on?
In just ten minutes, they conceded the ball again and again. Are they all playing match-fixing?
"This is the knockout round of the Champions League quarter-finals. What are you doing?" Puyol's eyes turned red.
The teammates around him lowered their heads, each of them ashamed.
Against Bayern and Real Betis, they had already conceded enough goals, but this game was even more outrageous.
I know Barcelona’s defense is terrible, but it’s not as bad as this, right?
Even if a relegated team from La Liga were to compete with Chelsea, it wouldn't be like this, right?
"Do you really want to be humiliated and bloodbathed by your opponents at Stamford Bridge?" Puyol asked everyone angrily.
…………
…………
No one wants to be humiliated by an opponent.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After conceding three goals in a row, Barcelona seemed to have woken up from a dream. On the basis of controlling the ball, they began to organize a counterattack.
First, Ronaldinho hoisted the ball into the penalty area, but Cech abandoned the goal and got the ball.
Soon, Deco came in from the left rib, received Ronaldinho's counterattack, and sent the ball to the front of the penalty area.
Su Dong stopped the ball sideways at the top of the arc in the penalty area, turned around, blocked Carvalho's quick attack with his body, and fired an angry shot with his right foot.
This shot was very sudden and powerful, and the angle was even more tricky, going straight into the upper right corner of the goal.
But Cech was so stable that he turned over and lifted the ball over the crossbar with one hand.
Stamford Bridge broke into a cold sweat.
When Su Dong saw that his angry shot failed to hit, he roared angrily, but quickly regained his composure and clapped vigorously.
"Come on! Don't be discouraged! Don't be discouraged! Try to be the first!"
After finishing speaking, Su Dong quickly ran into the penalty area.
…
"This is Barcelona's first shot of the game."
"It's unbelievable, isn't it?"
"I have to say that Mourinho's high-pressure tactics were very effective against Barcelona, and the counterattack was very sharp, especially after the opening round of the game, which was a whirlwind and made Barcelona dizzy."
"But now, Barcelona is gradually starting to find its own rhythm."
"Su Dong's shot was very beautiful. Unfortunately, Cech was also very good and guarded the goal perfectly."
"Chelsea has only conceded three goals at home this season, and Petr Cech has contributed a lot to that."
"Look at this corner kick."
"Xavi ran to the corner kick area and prepared to take the corner kick."
…
After Harvey placed the ball, he slowly backed away.
In the penalty area, Barcelona's header experts all stepped forward.
Puyol is at the front, while Sudong is ambushing on the left side of the small penalty area. This is obviously a signal to attack the back.
Chelsea also attaches great importance to Su Dong, who is 1.95 meters tall, and arranged for captain Terry to take care of him personally.
Terry stood in front of Su Dong and tried to stop him behind him. Su Dong kept adjusting his position and direction.
Harvey raised his right hand high, sending a signal to Su Dong in the distance.
This is from Barcelona's usual set-piece coordination.
When Harvey quickly took a corner kick, Su Dong made a gesture to rush towards the left post, tricking Terry into rushing forward as well. Unexpectedly, Su Dong just made a feint shot, stopped suddenly, and turned towards the center.
Sprint past.
After avoiding Terry, Su Dong ran two steps, and after judging the location of Harvey's corner kick, he jumped up high.
Terry also reacted very quickly and followed Su Dong immediately, but Su Dong had already jumped up.
The burly body of 1.95 meters jumped up and stood in front of Terry. The Chelsea captain didn't even think about taking off.
Harvey's corner kick came to the head of Su Dong, and Su Dong directly faced the ball and shook his head like a lion.
After the ball was hit by Su Dong, it quickly turned in one direction and went straight to the upper right corner of the goal.
Cech stood in the middle of the goal, reaching out with one hand as much as possible, trying to lift the ball over the crossbar again.
This time, his hand did touch the ball again, but the ball was not lifted out as he expected. Instead, it turned slightly and still entered the goal line and hit the side netting.
Beep!!!!
The bald referee Collina's whistle immediately sounded to confirm that the goal was valid.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
As soon as Su Dong landed, he heard a crisp whistle, jumped up on the spot, and roared.
When he landed again, he quickly rushed towards Chelsea's goal.
Before anyone could react, he quickly picked up the football, turned around and ran towards the center circle.
"Su Dong's fighting spirit seems to be very strong."
"His recent form has also been very good. In the La Liga match three days ago, Barcelona also conceded three goals, but Su Dong scored a hat-trick to help Barcelona save face 3-3."
"Also in the previous two rounds against Bayern Munich, Su Dong performed very well."
"He seemed to be in very good shape tonight."
After running to the center circle, Su Dong threw the ball to the kick-off point and quickly backed away.
"Cheer up, everyone!"
"What they did to us just now, we will do to them again now!"
Su Dong roared loudly.
Barcelona's players were also inspired and their morale was rekindled.
In terms of strength, each of these Barcelona players is a famous star in the world. Although the defense is a bit poor, if you really have to attack with all your life, you don't know who will win!
Anyway, we have already conceded three goals, who is afraid of whom?
