Chapter 411 End of the first half
"Oh, Shet!" The Chelsea fans present moaned in pain at the same time. The ball flew past Gala and landed half a meter in front of Ram. Ram stretched out his foot to remove the ball, and then easily broke into the penalty area from the left!
No matter how good Gala's physical fitness is, it is impossible for him to quickly land after the top, and then turn back to defend. Therefore, Ram was not disturbed at all during this series of movements, and he successfully dribbled the ball into the penalty area!
Although Ram is just a full-back, his footwork is not worse than that of an offensive player. He controls the ball well and then quickly moves forward two steps in the penalty area. Chelsea's overall defense line should become quite timely. Deselli moves over to block Ram's advance, and Marklele in the midfielder position also quickly returns to the penalty area to fill up and target Etoo. Terry follows Drogba's side. Chelsea's defense does not miss anyone in the penalty area.
However, Ram did not pass the ball to his teammates in the penalty area, but directly knocked the ball to the front of the penalty area. Kaka suddenly stepped forward and got rid of Parker's marking, and then rushed towards the rolling route of the ball!
Marklele's reaction was also very fast. After Ram passed the ball, he immediately determined the direction of the ball rolling and turned around and rushed over - however, no matter how fast he was, he was not as fast as the ball flew!
When he had just rushed to the penalty spot, the ball had already flew in front of Kaka, and Kaka had already swung his right foot against the ball...
Bend the bow and arrow, and then fire!
The ball, which was concentrated by powerful forces, deformed a little when it flew up, but instantly expanded to its original shape. Then it flew quickly into the air and flew straight to the upper left corner of the goal!
There is no change in the flight of the ball, only speed, strength, and angle!
A flash of white light!
Kaka's shot was not even able to keep up with the live broadcast camera. The fans in front of the TV saw Kaka swing his right foot and then the camera shook suddenly. The next moment, the net that began to tremble violently!
Then they saw Ambrosio who had no choice but to fall to the ground and the football jumping in the goal!
The next moment, the camera turned to Kaka at the front of the penalty area. The young Brazilian ran off the field with his fingers, his handsome face full of fighting spirit and indomitableness!
Kaka at this moment fascinated thousands of fans.
"Who dares to stand up to the point of being a saber, only my Holy Son Kaka."
Jose muttered in his heart, then raised his arms and stood up - the ball was also a bit of luck, Gala's header gave Mallorca the best chance, Mallorca attacked the left side with the first time, and achieved such a good result - but if that's the case, what kind of shot is not based on luck? Luck is very stingy, he will only patronize prepared people!
"Chelsea is not our opponent yet... Mourinho, I look forward to the Chelsea under your command! Chelsea of that Iron Army!"
*********************************************
Kaka's goal was undoubtedly a huge blow to Chelsea - at least in the box in the stands, Abu, who had always had a kind smile, no longer had any smiles, and his eyes were staring at Jose - this is not a person who knows football very well. His understanding of football is that I want to have the best player and the best head coach...
Last year's best coach, Jose, is undoubtedly the best head coach in his eyes.
But even if Abu doesn't understand football, he knows that Jose will not be able to coach his team. Jose is like a boss in Mallorca. Why does he work for others? Abu is helpless even if he is rich, let alone Mallorca's performance is not bad. Jose can get everything he wants here, so naturally he is even more reluctant to leave Mallorca to work for him.
So Abram settled for the second best. He is now secretly contacting the second place in the European best coach last year - Portuguese Jose Mourinho. Compared with Ranieri, Abram prefers this young Portuguese. At least he is very handsome and can enhance the image of Chelsea club better than an old man.
Seeing that his team was behind in this game, Abu looked at Jose even more gritted his teeth, but no expression appeared on his face - at least Ranieri's performance this season is not bad, and the announcement of a substitution at this time can only affect the morale of the army.
On the court, the Chelsea players were a little at a loss. After all, the previous tactic was to entangle the opponent and seize the opportunity. Now that I am behind, should I fight back or continue to entangle with the opponent?
Fortunately, Ranieri kept his mind at this time. He shouted to the players a few times when the Mallorca players celebrated. So after re-telephone, Chelsea was not in a hurry, but continued to tangle with Mallorca in the midfield, playing success rate instead of having to take a scene.
This situation surprised Jose. It seemed that the Chelsea players had a pretty good ability to execute tactics. He originally thought that Chelsea would attack fiercely after the kickoff, but now they are still so patient.
"It doesn't matter if you are patient, I'm more patient than you." Jose thought to himself.
The rest of the first half continued to be in a stalemate. Goodjohansen's shot was blocked by Mex with his body, while Mutu's header missed the goal. Mallorca was not without a chance. Alonso quickly took a free kick in the midfield. Drogba ferried the ball in the penalty area, but was held in his arms by Ambrosio who was attacking. When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, Mallorca led his opponent to the halftime break with one-to-zero!
“Now our advantage is getting bigger and bigger.”
Jose snapped his fingers in the locker room, with a confident and calm look on his face: "Now Chelsea has encountered a very difficult situation, that is, should they attack... If they continue to play in the first half, we will continue to fight with them. No matter what, our ability to seize the opportunity is better than them, and this will be beneficial to us. As for them to press the attack, it will be even better. If you have the chance in the backcourt, you will give the ball to Alonso and let him organize the attack. Alonso, use your long pass to become the first landing point of counterattack - Etoo wanders on both wings, Kaka meets in the middle, and Drogba is at the front - do you know the route of passing the ball?"
"Of course I know, boss." Alonso said dissatisfiedly, feeling very unhappy that his major was denied.
"That's good." Jose nodded: "When defending, start from the midfield and pay attention to the protection of the front of the penalty area. We did a good job of defending against Lampard in the first half. His long shot was excellent. Cameni, if he catches the ball, you must pay attention. And when they break through the wing and pass him forward, you must be careful at this time. I don't want to be knocked down by a world wave, do you understand?"
"I understand!" Cameni nodded vigorously.
With the test of the main players and the game over the past six months, Cameni feels that he was back two years ago, and the state of the game can be found in the game. Under Mallorca's not bad defensive system, he can perform more!
"The next thing to note is the two wings. The assists on both wings can be reduced. However, in defense, be careful of Duff's forced breakthrough. However, his speed is top-notch and his skills are average. His main offensive methods are still mainly cross-blocking. This aspect only requires interference. If Mutu gets the ball on the wing, he must be more careful. He is a player with breakthrough ability. If such a player dribbles into the penalty area, he will have great lethality. Our goal in the first half was created through such a penalty area breakthrough. We cannot follow their footsteps. In this game, I will return to Mallorca with a victory. Do you understand?"
"Of course, boss, that's what we think!" Matthias laughed, then raised his arms and shouted: "Do you think so?"
"That's right! Go back to Mallorca with the victory and then enter the semi-finals!" Mallorca's players shouted at the same time.
"Stay a break and prepare for the second half of the game... Although the conditions in this place are a little worse, you can barely rest." Jose complained about the environment of the visiting team locker room at Stamford Bridge: "I heard that their new boss is quite rich, and he doesn't say he should take the money to repair the visiting team locker room. This is also the face of a team."
"Boss, don't you say that the visiting locker rooms of Premier League teams are like this?" Torres asked curiously.
"Yes, I thought it would be better if I changed to a foreign boss." Jose shrugged.
The players of Mallorca laughed at the British who thought they were gentlemen and didn't have any gentlemanly demeanor at all, and then they started to rest on their own. They ran a little tired in the first half, which was the time to save their energy.
Jose looked at the players with a smile, but he was thinking that he had a problem with Ranieri. What are the pot maker thinking now?
"We can't be anxious now. If we are anxious, we will hit Mallorca's dream." Ranieri explained to the players the decision he made in the first half: "Mallorca started with defensive counterattack. Although Jose is now known as the most enterprising young coach in Europe, Mallorca also won the double championship last season through offense. But don't forget that when he debuted, he was famous for Cooper's disciples... and Mallorca's frontcourt players have always been very suitable for counterattacks. A high center forward with heading ability and a fast forward is their basic mode of team formation. It has always been like this. They are definitely familiar with the tactics of defensive counterattack. If they are eager to attack and let them score the second goal, then our pressure will be greater... The second half continues
We can be more aggressive in offense, but we must never relax our defense! In such a knockout match, defense is the most important thing. Last season's Mallorca was just an exception! Mutu, you have to get more balls to make breakthroughs and try to disrupt their defense. At the same time, you must be more active in the back row. The attack of the two wings requires support from the middle. We must never relax in this regard... Don't make a rash move, even one-to-one is not an unacceptable result, but we must score goals, do you understand? It is also important to get a draw at home, because Mallorca will play more openly at his home court... The two rounds of game will be a game that tests patience. Patience, be patient! When confronting a team like Mallorca, patience is necessary, do you understand?"
"I understand!" Chelsea players answered in unison. Ranieri nodded, and then looked at the players who did not play in this game.
Joe Cole and Crespo are his last two aces. Joe Cole's skills can increase Chelsea's offensive ability in the frontcourt, while Crespo is the best scorer. Unfortunately, Joe Cole is not good at confrontation, and Crespo has some minor injuries, otherwise he will be even more sure.
