Chapter 61 Killing the Game
In the second half of the game, the situation on the field suddenly had a 180-degree reversal. While the Chelsea fans in the stands were still singing loudly and cheering for the team, Fiorentina suddenly scored, making all Chelsea fans and their players on the field unprepared.
A very simple tactic. Beckham pulled across the right side. After receiving the ball in the middle, he made a pass. Degan deliberately missed the ball in the middle, and Mutu, who was ambushed at the back point, easily headed the ball and scored.
After Mutu scored, his resentment, which had been squeezed in his heart for several years, was completely released. At this moment, his jersey was removed by Mutu, revealing his strong muscles. At Stamford Bridge, he ran to his heart's content and shouted at home court. Even Digan looked sideways at him.
"Mutu! It's Mutu! A talented player from Romania broke through the goal of his old club, and Mutu was once the favorite of the stadium, but after that incident, he was ruthlessly abandoned by Chelsea.
If that's the only case, Mutu may not have such a great resentment against Chelsea. After all, he did something wrong at the beginning, but some of the following events almost broke Mutu's future.
Shortly after Juventus announced Mutu's joining, Chelsea once again provoked a conflict with the former team's striker. The Premier League team threatened to prevent it from landing in Serie A because Muto did not officially apologize to the club, and Juventus did not hand in the transfer of players. Conference fee.
At that time, Juventus said that Mutu signed a contract with the team as a free agent, and the old woman did not pay a penny to Chelsea.
However, Chelsea asked Juventus to pay a transfer fee to compensate for the loss of the Blues when they bought Mutu with 13.7 million pounds. Chelsea claimed that they still hold Mutu's transfer contract. If Mutu does not publicly apologize to the club for his negligence, the team will not hand over the contract, and Chelsea will set up obstacles to Mutu's transfer.
Since Mutu was found to have been taking cocaine, Chelsea has taken a tough attitude towards Romanians, even claiming to terminate the contract with him in advance before the FA announced the punishment for Mutu.
At that time, Chelsea even claimed that the FA's 7-month suspension was too "magnific" and asked the team's lawyers to prepare a lawsuit for compensation.
When Mutu was preparing to join Juventus, the Blues' attitude was still very resolute. If they couldn't get the transfer fee from Juventus, they would claim the team's losses back.
It not only prevented Mutu from joining Juventus, but then when Mutu transferred to Fiorentina, Chelsea appealed Mutu to the International Court of Arbitration for Sport. Mutu broke the contract with the team due to drug inspection violations, and then had a series of negative effects on the team. In this regard, they asked FIFA to make a relevant decision to urge Mutu to give some compensation to the Blues.
Final ruled that Mutu should compensate Chelsea Club 17.17 million in compensation in accordance with the FIFA judgment. The irretriable Romanian striker almost retired at that time.
Chelsea will ask Mutu for compensation, otherwise they will appeal to FIFA for a global ban on Mutu and even disqualify his professional players.
Although Chelsea finally reduced the amount of compensation, this matter has always been a thorn in Mutu's heart. Last season, Fiorentina and Chelsea met in the Champions League semi-finals. At that time, Mutu missed the two games due to injury, but this time, Mutu will not miss the opportunity.
After losing the ball, Hiddink immediately took measures to move the positions of two players, Barak and Essien, to protect the two sides.
However, in this way, the interception ability of the midfield is bound to decline. Seeing this, Degan immediately waved to his teammates, giving up the side road and attacking head-on.
This time, Hiddink's magic was completely broken in front of Degan's adaptability and Florence's strong overall strength.
After Mutu scored, through a small range of cooperation in the middle, Degan took the ball in. Although Terry followed closely and tried to intercept it, he was stuck by Degan, and then shot, conquered the Blues goalkeeper Cech and expanded the score to 2:0!
Hiddink began to be a little anxious. He made the first substitution adjustment of this game and replaced Essin with Nigerian young player Mikkel in an attempt to strengthen the creativity of the midfield.
However, this substitution was criticized by countless media as a big move after the game. Although Essien's attack ability is average, his defense is indispensable in Chelsea's middle road. After Macclelet left, Essien was Chelsea's middle iron gate. Now this iron gate has been removed in exchange for a ball wind. The soft Mikkel was even more sought when Florence attacked.
For a while, they attacked the sidelines, suppressed Chelsea's two full-backs in their own half, and then attacked in the middle, making Chelsea exhausted.
Although Drogba scored a goal for Chelsea in the following game, before the horn of Chelsea's counterattack was completely sounded, Fiorentina completely killed the suspense of the game by scoring two consecutive goals through two side combinations.
4:1!
This score can basically be said that Chelsea's way to advance to the finals has been completely blocked. Even if Chelsea can win in the second round of the two teams, if they can't score four goals, they will still be eliminated from the Champions League.
"I am very sorry for the result of the game. My players played very well, but our opponents performed better. There is nothing to regret. It has been a great success to get to this point. This is worth celebrating. We still have a game, although I know that the promotion will be very difficult. It's difficult, but we won't give up hope!"
Hiding's attitude of refusing to admit defeat is good, but unfortunately, if you want to reverse the turnaround, it can only exist in the fantasy stage.
Four goals, since Degan came to Fiorentina, not to mention at home, even on the road, they have never experienced such a fiasco.
After the game, Mutu, who opened the door to victory for Fiorentina, was also very excited: "It's so exciting to score a goal. For so many years, I have finally been released. All this is perfect. Second round? I believe it is us who have won the victory!"
