Chapter 98 Chelsea

It is completely understandable for Benitez to say such harsh words, because Abramovich gave him a death order. If he can't defeat Gosho, he will have to find another job next season. However, this secret outsider doesn't know it, so many people are a little puzzled that Benitez, who has always been gentle, suddenly become so strong.

Gosho captain Avanzini commented on Benitez's words: "You should know that we are the defending champions. If you want to defeat us, you must first ask us whether to agree. Many people have said this before, but now they have become our losers."

And 36-year-old Chelsea captain Lampard responded to Avanzini: "They have really achieved good results in the past two years, but their luck is also quite good. Now that they meet us, their luck is over."

Egman retorted: "Are you lucky? By luck, we can get the 'Five Champions' for two consecutive years. This is really the funniest joke I've heard this year.

Chelsea generals also wanted to refute Egman's words, but they really didn't have a good record in the past few years. Finally, Chelsea striker Torres stood up and said, "We don't talk so fast. Let's come to the court to see the real chapter."

Before the game started, the two teams began to fight, and it was full of gunpowder. This duel suddenly became the most eye-catching one in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

On the evening of March 24, Chelsea's home game against Gosho officially began at Stamford Bridge Stadium. CCTV broadcast the game live as usual. Duan Xuan is introducing the game to the audience: "Dear viewers, now we are broadcasting the quarter-finals of this season's Champions League. In the first round of the game, the Premier League strong Chelsea played against the defending champion Gosau at home.

"Gosao eliminated the Russian Central Army of Moscow with a score of 7:2 in the first round of knockout, while Chelsea eliminated Inter Milan by 3-2 in the first round of knockout. The promotion process of the two teams is completely different. The Gosau team has a smooth journey, while the Chelsea team has stumbled all the way. Now the outside world is also more optimistic about the victory of the defending champion Gosho team. Of course, the Chelsea team is still very confident in this match.

"The two teams have never played against each other in history, so this is a complete encounter. In today's game, Chelsea boss Abramovich also came to the scene to supervise the battle in his special box. It seems that Abramovich is bound to win this game.

"Now the players of the two teams have entered the court. Let's introduce the starting lineup of both sides. First of all, Chelsea's starting lineup. Their goalkeeper is Cech and the left-back is Ashley. Cole, right-back Azpilita, central defender is Terry and Ivanovic, and the five midfielders are David. Louis, Lampard, Essien, Mata and Oscar, and the striker is Torres.

"The starting lineup of the visiting team Gosho is goalkeeper Checarelli, left-back Ribeiro, right-back Gugelman, central defenders are Salihovic and Chevally, left winger Avantini, right wing Hollensten, double backs are Antunović and Ivanovic, and forwards are Egman and Couddinho."

"Interestingly, there is an Ivanovic in both teams. Chelsea's Ivanovic's name is Branislav, a Serbian international and a famous central defender in the world today; and Gosho's Ivanovic's name is Ninad, a A Swiss international of Croatian descent is a world-renowned midfield star today. Of course, in the former South, Ivanovic is a very common surname, but it is rare for these two famous Ivanovics to meet in a Champions League quarterfinal.

"With the whistle of the referee on duty, the German Kim Hofer, the game officially began. In the first half of the game, the visiting team Gosho started the ball first, and they attacked from right to left in the first half.

After the referee's whistle, Egman knocked the ball to Codingho, and then ran forward. Chelsea's midfielder suddenly forced the Gosho player. Codingho passed the ball back to Antunović, and Antunović passed the ball back to Chevali, who divided the ball to Ribeiro's feet on the left. , Avanzini in front of Ribeiro's long pass. Avazzini took a few steps and handed the ball to Egman at the front of the penalty area. Egman kept the ball and made a long shot directly, but he did not press the ball, and the ball was higher than the crossbar.

The Chelsea team was not willing to show weakness. After they opened the goal ball, after a few passes, Lampard also made a long shot 35 meters away from the goal at the front of the penalty area. The 36-year-old Blue Army's long feet were still very hard. His long shot went straight to the lower right corner of the goal. Fortunately, Checarelli was very focused. He fell to the ground and threw the ball out of the bottom line.

Chelsea got a corner kick. After Mata made a corner kick, Terry jumped high in the middle of the penalty area and headed the ball to the upper left corner of the goal. Checarelli soared into the air, took off the ball in the air, and then pressed the ball tightly under him. Chelsea players withdrew from the penalty area like a tide. , each ran back to their own positions.

Two teams that have never met collided with fierce sparks at the beginning of the game, which made the fans in front of the TV shout, because it meant that the game would be very exciting.

Indeed, the battle between the two teams before the game made them want to overwhelm their opponents in this game, and no one was willing to show weakness in front of their opponents.

In the following game, the two teams competed from the midfield, tit-for-tat, and had a lot of physical contact, which made the game full of strong gunpowder. Fortunately, the competition between the two teams was still running for the ball, and there was no intentional hurtful action, so that the game would not become a hand-to-hand fight.

In this game, Terry, Lampard, Ashley. Cole and Essien have played at a very high level. They are all over 30 years old, and they are all veterans of Chelsea during Mourinho's time. They are no longer the main players this season, but Chelsea have been injured more frequently recently, so Benitez had no choice but to play in this game. I sent them to make the debut, but I didn't expect them to play so well.

However, this is not surprising. Players are more experienced when they are older. Because there are fewer competitions, their physical fitness is not a big problem. When they focus on such a game, it is normal for them to play a high level.

The game lasted until the 10th minute, Ashley. Cole inserted the ball with the ball at high speed on the left, and then passed the ball to Lampard in the middle. Lampard strode with the ball advancing in the middle. Seeing that it was getting closer and closer to the penalty area, he had entered Lampard's range. Antunović, who was defending Oscar, rushed over and knocked Lampard to the ground and stopped Cher. A West team's attack, but Chelsea also got a free kick in the front court, and referee Kim Hofer also showed Antunović a yellow card.

Chelsea's free kick did not pose much threat. Mata's free kick was a little strong, and the flight route was too close to Gosho's goal. After the attack, Checarelli jumped high and directly confiscated the ball.

Then Chekaleri threw the ball and launched a counterattack. Ivanovic got rid of Lampard's entanglement after receiving the ball, and then he sent a direct pass. Kaudingho plugged in at high speed. After receiving the ball, he advanced with the ball in the middle. The two wingers of Gosho's Avanzini and Hortens also inserted at high speed on the left and right sides, and they were moving forward. Egman, who ran before, had four players participating in the Gosho team's counterattack.

Chelsea just took a free kick, and the two central defenders ran to the front court to fight for the header. There were only two full-backs and midfielders Essien in the backcourt. At this moment, Gosho formed a four-to-three situation.
