The score ended 1-0 in the first half, with Barcelona taking the lead.
During the halftime break, Chelsea made a substitution adjustment and replaced Essien with Good Johnson.
After the substitutions, Chelsea adopted a 4-4-2 formation.
Robben and Duff are still separated on the wings, with Lampard and Makelele forming a double midfielder in the middle, and Good Johnson and Drogba in front. It is not difficult to see Mourinho's tactical intention.
He didn't want the game to drag on like this.
Sure enough, at the beginning of the second half, Chelsea took the initiative to launch a wave of offensive.
Lampard, Drogba, Robben, and even Ferreira all created some threats and shot three shots, but only Ferreira's long shot from 30 meters away was aimed at Barcelona.
The goal, which was too far away and had no power, was easily confiscated by Valdes. This is Chelsea's only shot on Barcelona's goal so far.
Although Barcelona's defense is still unstable, the presence of Marcos Senna has qualitatively improved Barcelona's defense level, and the overall performance has been greatly improved compared to last season.
After successive rounds of offensives failed to achieve results, Chelsea began to slow down its offensive pace.
But Barcelona is very good at controlling the situation and rhythm, and at the same time holding the ball. When they saw Chelsea's wild attack but failed and wanted to slow down and take a breather, Barcelona decisively increased the pace and created threats one after another.
First, Su Dong picked up the ball from the outside of the penalty area and passed it back to Messi. The Argentine teenager took off directly and shot a left-foot arc shot, but Cech held him.
After that, Su Dong dribbled the ball into the penalty area and almost created a shooting opportunity. Ronaldinho and Deco's continuous cooperation on the outside finally created a kick for Su Dong near the penalty spot and hit a goal.
Remember the powerful and heavy volley.
Cech was very steady and made a side dive. The tall and long-legged Czech goalkeeper directly saved the ball.
Soon, Deco himself came up and took a long shot, but he failed to pose a threat.
Ronaldinho got the ball from the left wing and cut in. With Su Dong's support, he hit a curve ball with his right foot, which barely missed the post and flew out of the baseline.
The two teams went back and forth. Barcelona had the advantage in passing and controlling the ball, while Chelsea defended steadily and fought equally well.
In the 61st minute, Messi took the ball and forced a breakthrough from the right, shook off Gallas, rushed into the right side of the penalty area, and forced a breakthrough through Carvalho, passing the ball across the goal.
Su Dong quickly followed up from the front point and hit Messi's pass directly.
At the critical moment, Terry fell directly to the ground and made a sliding tackle. With his body already out of balance, he blocked Su Dong's shot with his hand.
Su Dong immediately raised his hand and signaled to the referee Hauge that this was a handball.
However, the referee Hauge waved his hand towards Su Dong. He thought this was just Terry's subconscious action and did not blow the whistle to call a foul.
"From the slow-motion replay, we can see that this was indeed a handball, but Terry fell to the ground and made a sliding tackle. It is barely acceptable to say that this was a subconscious action. It can only be said that Chelsea escaped."
…
Barcelona attacked very fiercely, while Chelsea focused on defending in their own half.
Ronaldinho did not fix his position on the left at first, but actively retreated and frequently appeared in the center.
Su Dong pulled to the left when Ronaldinho retreated, trying to open up Chelsea's defense.
He didn't mean to stay away from the penalty area, but he wanted to open up the defense and then rush back.
During a retreat, Ronaldinho was pressed by Lampard. He could only bring back the ball with his back to the goal, handed the ball to Marcos Senna, and ran towards the center.
When Su Dong saw it, he immediately left the center and moved to the left to fill Ronaldinho's position.
When Ferreira saw him, there was obviously some dodge in his eyes.
In the Portuguese Super League back then, he suffered a lot from Su Dong, and was even taken advantage of by Su Dong and Ronnie in turns. This left an extremely deep shadow on him, and he has not yet come out of it.
Today's Su Dongke is far more powerful than before, which makes Ferreira feel uneasy.
"Don't be afraid, I'm just here to take a look." Su Dong said with a smile.
Ferreira looked ahead. After listening, he turned back and glanced at Su Dong, as if to say, I believe you are a big-headed ghost.
It feels like a boyfriend and girlfriend are hugging each other on the bed. No matter how much the man swears, no one will believe him.
These days, is Liu Xiahui still able to stay calm?
Sure enough, just a few seconds after Su Dong finished speaking, he saw Ronaldinho cooperate with Iniesta in the middle, and the Brazilian superstar got the ball in front of Chelsea's 30-meter area.
When Su Dong saw it, he immediately raised his hands, threw away Ferreira as quickly as possible, and rushed directly to the goal behind Terry.
Ferreira was shocked, and secretly cursed in his heart: Damn, just now I was talking about you and me, tenderness, and tenderness, but in the blink of an eye, he turned his back and became ruthless. These days, men... no, if a man like Su Dong is reliable, even sows
Can climb trees!
Cursing secretly in his heart, Ferreira still pestered Su Dong immediately.
Terry's reaction was a little slower, but he turned around immediately.
Ronaldinho made a long pass over the top and accurately saw the ball behind Terry.
Su Dong slanted into the penalty area from the left rib and rushed behind Terry. After judging the landing point of Ronaldinho's pass, he jumped high and proved to have hit a far corner.
Cech's position was originally in the middle. When he saw Ronaldinho's long pass to the left side of the goal, he immediately moved to the left, but Su Dong deliberately pushed a far corner, which made the move
The Czech goalkeeper felt very painful.
His reaction was not unpleasant, but his inertia and center of gravity made it difficult for him to make a save.
The ball went from the bottom of the crossbar and into the upper right corner of Chelsea's goal.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!"
"Sixty-sixth minute, Barcelona wins again!"
"Another goal from Su Dong, two to zero!"
"Two goals!"
"My God, Su Dong has shown an amazing performance. At the end of this season, he has scored every game. Tonight, he seized two key opportunities and scored two goals for Barcelona."
After Su Dong scored, he rushed out of the stadium quickly, ran all the way to the corner kick area, and kept waving his arms. All the Barcelona fans in the audience rushed out of their seats in an instant, shouting wildly.
with Su Dong's name.
Two to zero!
This is almost a desperate score!
Especially when Barcelona controlled 70% of the ball throughout the game, it would be extremely difficult for Chelsea to reverse the situation.
The Barcelona players also knew this very well, so after Su Dong scored, they all followed him, rushed out of the stadium, went to the sidelines to celebrate the goal with Su Dong, and congratulated him on scoring the key goal for Barcelona.
.
"This is really the key goal to seal the victory!"
"Judging from the current data, Barcelona's ball possession rate is as high as 71%, while Chelsea's is only 29%. There is a huge gap between the two teams' possession time. More importantly, in terms of manufacturing
In terms of threat, Chelsea only had one shot on target, and it was a long shot from Ferreira 30 meters away."
"It can be said that Barcelona has completely controlled the situation on the field until now. Chelsea, apart from attacking for a while at the beginning of the game, spent most of the rest of the time passively defending."
"Now, trailing 2-0, Mourinho doesn't know if there is any good solution."
…
On the sidelines, Su Dong quickly gathered around his teammates after celebrating excitedly.
"It's not the time to celebrate yet. There's about half an hour left. We have to keep working hard, keep up the pressure, and don't give them a chance to breathe. Especially don't forget how we won the Champions League last season!"
Su Dong reminded his teammates seriously, with a very serious expression.
The Champions League last season was won by a miraculous comeback, and Barcelona knows it better than anyone.
Because of this, Barcelona's players know better than anyone else what they should do at this moment.
"Su is right, we must continue to maintain pressure, continue to control the ball, and continue to attack!" Captain Puyol also shouted.
The surrounding Barcelona players also followed suit.
For them, they are now only one step away from defending the Champions League, and they cannot give Chelsea a chance to counterattack under any circumstances.
"Come!" Puyol took the lead and stretched out his hand.
The other players also extended their hands and joined hands.
No matter what their relationship is with each other on weekdays, no matter what their impressions of each other are on weekdays, or whether there are conflicts, at this moment, they are teammates fighting side by side and must work together.
"Come on!" Puyol shouted.
"Come on!" Others responded one after another.
…
Rijkaard watched silently from the sidelines. Originally, he wanted to remind his players loudly, but now it seems that this is not necessary.
He found that at this moment, Barcelona players were more awake than anyone else.
This is not surprising, because they had just reversed AC Milan in last season's Champions League final. How could they easily give Chelsea a chance to reverse themselves now?
…
Mourinho's face dropped.
He's letting Joe Cole and Wright Phillips warm up.
Tonight, Duff, who played on the right wing, was not very active, while Robben on the left was very good. This made Mourinho not very satisfied with Duff and wanted to replace him with Wright Phillips.
.
The winger from Manchester City is very fast, but his position at Chelsea has never been very secure.
Mourinho was a little hesitant because Joe Cole was also a good candidate.
If Wright-Phillips is good at wing breakthroughs and has a very obvious speed advantage, then Joe Cole's creativity is also what Chelsea's offense needs now.
The combination of Lampard and Makelele makes the midfield somewhat lacking in creativity and relies too much on Robben on the wing.
But when Robben is contained, Chelsea's offensive threat is greatly reduced.
In other words, replacing Wright Phillips and Joe Cole is both possible, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
This makes Mourinho very difficult.
Who should be replaced?
On the court, Barcelona will not give Mourinho time.
After the game restarted, Barcelona continued to maintain offensive pressure on Chelsea.
