Chapter 500 Only forty-five minutes left

Stamford Bridge fell into lā some time before the start of the game

Players on both sides are conducting a silence ceremony for the newly-dead former Barcelona coach Biranova and former Real Madrid coach Boskov.

Everyone was in silence at this moment, including Mourinho, who had had many stories with Bilanova, also seemed particularly quiet on the sidelines.

Then, the competition officially began.

After all, Chelsea is playing at home and is the side behind. Now, they must play more proactively at home.

They must score as soon as possible.

At the beginning, Chelsea used their impact to start to make things difficult for Monaco's defense.

Hazard first completed his first shot for Chelsea, and his volley from the penalty area line kicked the ball into the stands.

However, since the ball was scratched by Fabinho, the referee gave a corner kick.

Afterwards, Chelsea used corner kicks to attack continuously, and Monaco was exhausted and gave Chelsea three consecutive corner kicks.

This third time, they finally cleared the ball and gave Xu Qi a chance to fight back with a ball.

However, as soon as Xu Qi got the ball, he immediately fell into double-teams between Aspiricueta, David Luis and Ramirez.

This time, Xu Qi did not find a chance to break the blood and the route to the ball, and the ball was eventually broken.

Chelsea started their strong offense again.

It seems that Mourinho is determined to attack, his team is also very imposing.

The game lasted for more than twenty minutes, and the score was zero to zero without changing.

However, Xu Qi just used a breakthrough to create a yellow card for Gary Cahill.

Mourinho had made arrangements before the game. In order to stop Xu Qi from making progress, he would be willing to pay the price of a yellow card.

Obviously Gary Cahill did a good job of playing cards.

On the contrary, Mourinho clearly asked Gary Cahill to eat cards on the sidelines, but he seemed very dissatisfied with the referee giving him a yellow card.

He always puts pressure on the referee at all times, making the referee think that he is really at a disadvantage.

However, when he was still angry that the referee gave the yellow card too arbitrary, Mourinho turned around and began to celebrate.

Twenty-three minutes, the score was rewritten.

Monaco made a pass error and was intercepted by William.

At this time, William showed his strong personal ability, and successively got rid of Tularang and Condobia, and then passed the ball to Aspiricueta's feet on the right.

Aspiricueta, who was inserted on the right, immediately made a cross and sent a low ball to the near penalty spot.

At this position, Monaco actually missed people. Perhaps they had no precautions for Chelsea's quick steal and counterattack on the spot, and even missed Torres, who had a low presence but extremely threatening sense of the opponent.

Torres immediately followed and kept shooting low and scored!

Of course he would not miss this opportunity.

One to zero, the total score equalized one to one, and it seemed that the advantage that Monaco originally had was gone.

The situation of the game seems to have changed.

Mourinho was naturally very excited, and he was under a lot of pressure this week.

This is his first season in the second trip to the palace to coach Chelsea. They basically declare that there is no hope of winning the Premier League. Therefore, Mourinho attaches great importance to the Champions League.

The fans were actually very satisfied with his ability to lead the team to the semi-finals, but when they saw that the opponent in the semi-finals was Monaco, these fans of course began to look forward to the finals again.

After all, Monaco doesn't seem to be a particularly difficult opponent.

Falcao's condition this season is obviously not as good as when he was at Atletico last season, and other players are basically difficult to compare with giant-level teams.

J Luo is still too young to carry a lot of things.

There is actually only one of the most threatening players in Monaco, which is Xu Qi who was loaned to them by Manchester City!

In the first round of the two teams, it was Xu Qi who broke the "golden bell cover and iron cloth shirt" placed by Mourinho with his own strength.

It can be seen that the power of Xu Qi's "Lingbo Weibu" and "Six-Meridian Divine Sword".

Of course, Chelsea fans are still full of confidence. After all, Monaco looks like Xu Qi alone.

How can this team defeat Chelsea, whose lineup is stronger and thicker than theirs with Xu Qi?

This is where Chelsea’s confidence comes from.

And when Torres scored a goal, Stamford Bridge was indeed infuriated, and they did see hope for the team to advance to the finals.

Then, Xu Qi kicked a set ball made by Falcao on the left.

However, although Xu Qi has practiced free kicks, his attainments are not very profound. The ball is bypassed by the wall and shot within the goal frame. Unfortunately, the ball is not fast enough and is held in his arms by Cech.

Afterwards, neither team was particularly conservative because the current situation was a balanced point and the scores were the same.

If such a score ends, there will be overtime.

But once the goal appears again, the winner will be decided within ninety minutes.

The advantage of Monaco is that if they score again, they can get the advantage of away goals.

Chelsea team is a home advantage, and they also want to gain a greater lead as soon as possible.

It's better to have a three-goal lead, because in this case, 2-0 is an unsafe score.

And at the end of the first half, this time, J Luo Lingguang found a good pass route.

He jumped the ball over the Chelsea defense line and sent it to the left rib.

In this position, Xu Qi happened to go forward. After a season of running-in, Xu Qi and J Luo had a very high tacit understanding.

Xu Qi was not very good at shooting directly after the goal, but his teammates responded.

Therefore, he directly swept the ball in front of the goal with his left foot, and Falcao rushed over again in the middle and knocked the ball into the goal.

One to one, the score equalized, Xu Qi assisted, and Falcao scored!

In this way, the total score becomes two to one, Monaco leads, and Monaco also has the advantage of away goals.

Chelsea now wants to advance, at least two more goals.

Mourinho, who had already achieved a good promotion situation, now saw that before the end of the first half, their promotion situation became worse.

This reality obviously makes Mourinho very difficult to accept, and he is very dissatisfied with such problems with the team's defense.

Therefore, although there was still time for injury time in the first half, Mourinho was no longer willing to continue watching. He turned around and walked to the locker room and began to arrange the tactical situation for the second half.

After all, it is a big crisis for Chelsea now, and he must adjust the offensive line in the second half.

In the second half, he had to attack.

Scoring two goals in the first half was quite stressful for him.

After Mourinho returned to the locker room, on the court, the game between the two sides was also blew the whistle to the end of the first half by the referee after a minute of injury time.

After the halftime break, the game will inevitably become more intense and cruel.

This is the last forty-five minutes that can determine who can enter the finals, overtime and penalty shootouts no longer exist!
