Chapter 99 The Brave Cech

Seeing that Codingho was about to approach the penalty area, Essien fell from behind him to tackle the ball and hooked Codingho to the ground. The referee Kim Hofer immediately whistled Essien to foul and ran to the scene of the incident, showing Essien a yellow card, because there were two Chelsea full-backs in front of him, so Essien's foul did not destroy a clear scoring opportunity for the Gosho team, and the referee did not show him a red card.

Essien accepted the yellow card and ran to the penalty area as a human wall. He has a good timing for this foul. If it is a little later, he may not be able to catch up at the speed of Kao Dinghuo. At that time, it will be really dangerous. In addition, if Kao Dinghuo enters the penalty area, he will not dare to foul casually, so it is still worth getting this yellow card, which also reflects his old man. Experience of team members.

Ribeiro went to the foul place to kick the free kick. The free kick is slightly to the right of the front of the penalty area, about 25 meters away from the goal, which is a good free kick opportunity.

Ribeiro carefully arranged the ball on the turf, and then stepped back a few steps, waiting for the whistle of the referee Kim Hofer. The position of this ball is very suitable for Ribeiro, the left foot player, and he is also very confident.

The whistle of referee Kim Hofer sounded. After Ribeiro ran, his left foot pulled his left foot on the ball. The ball soared into the air, drew a wonderful arc, and went straight to the upper right corner of the goal. The curvature, strength and angle of the shot were good. Ribeiro felt very good. He was ready to raise his hand to celebrate his goal, but at this moment, Cech's right foot kicked the ground powerfully and jumped high, and his left hand stretched as much as possible. Just as the ball was about to get into the goal, Cech's fingertips touched the ball. He added a force to his finger, and the ball was pulled away from the original trajectory, hit the junction of the beam and the column, and then popped up the bottom line.

Ribeiro raised his hands and hugged his head. He looked at the tanker's helmet in disbelief, which looked a little funny, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Duan Xuan roared: "Peter. Cech, he made a great save, and he threw Ribeiro out with a bound free kick! Just now, Ribeiro's shooting quality was very high, with good strength and angle. He went straight to the dead corner of the goal. It can be said that there will be no more than three people in the world who can save this shot. Of course, Cech must be among these three. Cech reacted quickly, with a long arm. The ball just now, if his fingers were so short by one or two centimeters, he might not be able to get the ball. He deserves to be the best goalkeeper in the Premier League in the past decade.

The Chelsea players surrounded Cech and slapped him on the back excitedly, thanking him for his wonderful save, which made Chelsea not fall into passivity soon after the start of the game, especially Essien. He was the most excited, because if it weren't for Cech, he would have been the culprit for the team to conce's goals. The yellow card he got is worthless at all.

Ribeiro is still distracted. Captain Avanzini walked to him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Hugo, you have played this ball well enough. Don't think too much. Go to the corner kick."

Ribeiro came to his senses and remembered that he still wanted to take a corner kick. He quickly ran to the corner area and said to Avanzini as he ran, "Thank you, captain!"

Ribeiro's corner kick was still very good. The ball went straight to the middle of the penalty area. Antunović jumped high and headed the ball to the goal. The ball went straight to the lower left corner of the goal. However, this header still failed to break through Cech's defense. He made an agile side attack and pressed the ball tightly under him.

After Cech stood up, he threw the ball to David. Louis, Louis Ma * gave the ball to Mata on the left side. Mata pushed forward at high speed with the ball. He broke through Hollensten's defense and made a cross. Torres grabbed a header in the middle of the penalty area. He held the ball very powerfully and had a good angle. He headed to the upper right corner of the goal, but Checarelli reacted very quickly. He Almost at the same time as Torres hit the ball at the top, he began to move to the right side of the goal. He pushed the ball out of the crossbar, and Chelsea got another corner kick.

The rapid offensive and defensive conversion of the two teams is dazzling. Only more than ten minutes after the game started, the two teams have several threatening shots, and the goalkeepers of the two teams have also played a very high level. It is their excellent performance that keeps the score on the field at 0:0.

Mata walked to the corner area to take the corner kick, but this time the corner kick he made was too strong and directly turned out of the bottom line.

Benitez has been standing on the sidelines and watching the ball. His hand is clenched into a fist and nervously looks at the situation on the field. This game is too important to him. If he can't beat Gosho at home, it will be even more difficult to defeat this powerful opponent on the road.

This round of confrontation with Gosho is related to whether he can stay at Stamford Bridge next season, so he must defeat Gosho, so that he can stay at Chelsea to prove his ability. A coach like him must stay in a team for a long time, so that his team can get through the run-in and the better it is. Just one season does not prove that he can't lead the Chelsea team well, but Abramovich is a person with little patience. If Chelsea is eliminated in this round, and it is Bramovich's most annoying Lin Fenglei was eliminated. Benitez could think of his fate with his knees, which he was unwilling to accept.

Seeing that Torres' header was saved by Checarelli, Benitez shook his head. Now Chelsea's forward line is too weak, which is a big problem for the team. Unfortunately, he has not been able to find a good striker, so he can only use his compatriot Torres. In fact, Torres was originally a world-class striker and spent a lot of money bought by Abramovich. But for some reason, Torres quickly degenerated into a defensive striker after coming to the Premier League. His goal rate was outrageous, and he often fell into a long-term goal drought, so now Chelsea's striker The line has become their weakest link.

Look at Egman on the other end of the court. Benitez is envious. If he had an Egman, then the Premier League champion can be said to be at his fingertips.

Abramovich is also sitting in the box to watch the game. He also value this game very much, not only because this game is related to whether Chelsea can enter the next round of the Champions League knockout, but also because he wants to defeat Lin Fenglei too much. Lin Fenglei's rejection of him hurt his self-esteem too much. He once vowed to defeat Lin Fenglei in the Champions League, and now he finally got a chance to play against the Gosho team. He secretly encouraged his players, hoping that they could score quickly.

Speaking of which, Abramovich is a good boss. He is willing to pay and does not interfere with the head coach's arrangement. Such a boss is what many head coaches dream of, but Abu still has some shortcomings. For example, he has to buy the players he likes, and for example, he doesn't have Patience, since he joined Chelsea, Chelsea has changed almost ten head coaches, which may be the reason why Chelsea has never been able to really establish its own dynasty.

The game is still going on. Although Chelsea's boss and head coach are secretly cheering for the team, Chelsea have never been able to break through the door of Gosho. Torres did not find any decent scoring opportunities after that header, but 36-year-old Lampard has a few powerful. He made a long-range shot, but failed to break through Chekareli's defense.

On the contrary, Gosho's attack is more impressive. The existence of the two strong centers, Egman and Kodinho, makes Chelsea's defense feel very pressure. Fortunately, Terry and Ivanovic's two central defenders are very strong and experienced. They have successfully cleared the siege several times, plus the state of Cech. Shen Yong, this is the only way to keep the goal.
