Chapter four hundred and ninety seventh see coquettish footsteps again
The fierce battle between the two sides was far beyond ordinary competition.
In the first ten minutes, Xu Qi had been tackled twice by David Louis.
Moreover, the referee has not paid off the cards for David Louis in these two times.
This made the fans at the scene feel quite dissatisfied, and the players of Monaco also complained about the referee on duty.
However, David Luis didn't eat the cards, but Ramirez was the first to eat the cards.
It was Luo who brought down.
This scene made the fans at the scene feel very dissatisfied with Mourinho.
In their opinion, Chelsea’s way of playing football is not as good as a strong team. They actually put themselves in the posture of a weak team to compete with a team with a weak strength like Monaco!
From the scene, it seems like Monaco is like a giant team.
Subsequently, Xu Qi also actively returned to defense and assisted Fabinho in successfully stealing William's ball.
William failed in the first showdown between the two.
The scene was very intense, but the goal was not here yet.
In fact, there are not many opportunities for both sides.
Mourinho wants to play a defensive counterattack, but Italian coach Ranieri is not a coach who likes to attack.
Speaking of defensive counterattacks, Ranieri is probably still better than Mourinho.
Therefore, neither team took the initiative to attack, so naturally both sides could only entangle in the midfield.
In fact, the two sides are fighting now. Whoever is afraid to fight in the midfield and dare not fight anymore will lose the advantage of this game.
As a result, this game became a situation where both sides consumed a lot and were not very exciting.
The only highlight of this game is that when Xu Qi will play some very ornamental ball-handling actions, get rid of Chelsea's defense, and then help the team complete the offense.
Under such circumstances, the Monaco team with Xu Qi obviously has a greater advantage.
At least it seems that Monaco is closer to the goal scorer.
However, the goal has not appeared for a long time.
The whole first half could be said to have ended in such a situation, with Monaco taking out seven shots and two shots on the right track.
Chelsea shot three times and one shot directly.
Judging from this data, Monaco also has the advantage, but the first half of the game was still a zero-to-zero score. No matter what data, as long as the score is still zero-to-zero, these data are not very useful.
During the halftime break, Ranieli emphasized the team's offense. He felt that Chelsea's offensive ability did not seem to be strong. He believed that the team could make more proactive attacks.
After all, he has these talented players in his hands.
Xu Qi, Luo, Falcao, and Carrasco are all very creative players of the team on the offensive end.
For example, Falcao, Mourinho and Chelsea pursued him for a summer last summer, but unfortunately they were eventually signed by Monaco.
This is naturally because Chelsea's own forward line is not very reliable.
In fact, there is another striker in Chelsea team, Dembaba.
However, even if Dembaba appears, he may not be better than Torres, so Mourinho chose Torres.
The weakness of the forward line is also a problem for Chelsea.
This is also the main reason why Mourinho chooses to defend now, but he feels that the team's defense is not enough because Xu Qi is still threatening Chelsea's goal.
Therefore, in the locker room on the other side, Mourinho chose to set up the bus more decisively in the second half!
In front of the four defenders, Mourinho chose to let William, Lampard, Ramirez, David Luis and Mickel play the role of five midfielders.
In other words, except for forward Torres and goalkeeper Cech, other players will set up two defense lines in the midfield and backcourt.
This is like a bus in front of the door.
At this time, countless fans began to complain.
If you play a team like Barcelona, we will endure it. If you play Monaco, you still have a bus?
"Murinho has been scared by Xu Qi?"
Indeed, Mourinho did this because of Xu Qi's deterrence, which has now made him a little scared.
If he doesn't do this, he feels that his team will definitely break through the goal, and he can't do better with the team's offense.
After thinking about it, this method is more pragmatic and has a better chance to reach the finals.
After all, this is the Champions League semi-final and there is no need to lose.
In the second half, Chelsea's ball possession rate was once suppressed to 78. In this game, Monaco seemed to be a super technical team, and could actually control the ball calmly at the front of the Chelsea's penalty area.
Of course, it's all because Chelsea allowed them to do so.
Mourinho's negative tactics also made the fans on the scene give them considerable booing.
After all, from the exciting point of view of such a game, it is simply impossible to compare with Manchester United and Dortmund.
However, this is the semi-final match of the Champions League.
Facing such defense as Chelsea, Monaco has almost no way to find a way.
However, Mourinho made great efforts and did not figure out how much Xu Qi could break through intensive defense.
A scene that appeared in the 69th minute of the game, when Mourinho's heart began to drip.
At that time, Xu Qi was in the middle area. Facing David Louis, he took the ball with his back and used the inside of his feet to protect the ball within his control range.
At the same time, Lampard and David Louis both reached out to steal the ball under Xu Qi.
Xu Qi hooked the ball under his feet with the inside of his right foot, and used his left foot as a fulcrum, rotating like a compass, drawing a semicircle!
Then, Xu Qi broke through the past directly between the two.
This breakthrough is a bit like the turn around on the spot that Ronaldo once performed!
Gorgeous, ghostly.
Chelsea's first line of defense was ruthlessly disintegrated by Xu Qi.
Then, in front of him was the second line of defense composed of Gary Cahill and Terry.
Xu Qi's movements this time were not complicated, but they were really effective. He poked the ball with his toes completely with his super fast frequency, and then penetrated Gary Cahill through the crotch.
Terry didn't keep up with Xu Qi's speed, and he rushed in vain.
Chelsea's second defense line was also disintegrated by Xu Qi again.
The rest is Chelsea's last line of defense, Cech.
Seeing Xu Qi breaking through two defense lines in an instant and heading into the small penalty area, an experienced goalkeeper like Cech naturally had to attack immediately and try to narrow Xu Qi's shooting angle.
Cech could only hope that Xu Qi would shoot at this time, and he would never want to see Xu Qi calm down at this time.
However, the more Xu Qi was at this time, the more he could show his value. He was too calm.
He raised his toes and shot with one foot.
The ball passed through Cech, who was rushing toward Chelsea and flew into Chelsea's goal.
The ball has entered!
It’s Xu Qi again, and see Xu Qi’s coquettish footsteps again!
An almost unbreakable iron barrel array was torn apart by Xu Qi and torn apart.
Chapter completed!
