Chapter 116 The Difference

Time has reached the 70th minute of the whole game. Since the beginning of the second half, Chelsea has been attacking. This open and extremely rough play has completely suppressed Fiorentina.

Since Prandelli came to power, the style of the Florentine team has also been influenced by Prandelli. Don't be afraid that you play carefully, and the opponent's playing style is also delicate. The more they have a way to suppress it, the more Barcelona is the ancestor of playing delicate football. When it meets Florence, it is still doomed.

But Chelsea's lifeless English football is not close to the delicacy at all. While fighting for life and gambling on luck, it actually makes Florence a little confused.

At least on the scene, Florence was indeed suppressed by Chelsea!

However, Prandelli on the sidelines did not look nervous at all. He still sat firmly on the coach's bench, holding his shoulders, and looked like a bamboo in his chest.

"Cesare! Should we change people? Ma Qiao on the side seems to be a little unable to hold on!" Antonelli reminded me.

I have to say that Maluda's performance today is really too active. Although he failed in defense, he became Drogba's best helper on the offensive end, constantly sending accurate passes on the sidelines, if it weren't for Compani and Tiago. If Silva's central-back combination has performed very well, perhaps Chelsea has completed the overtaking.

"No! There is no need to change people. The team is performing very well now!"

On Chelsea's side, Grant has played three cards, but Prandelli has not had any intention of substitution until now. Antonelli doesn't understand what Prandelli is thinking.

The situation on the court seems to be very unfavorable to Fiorentina, but in fact, Chelsea did not have a particularly good opportunity. Several shots were made by Maluda's side passes and let Drogba compete for the top.

Lampard and Joe Cole, which should have been very active, are simply invisible in this game. Lampard's iconic long-range shot is inserted in the back row, and Joe Cole's classic straight ball is completely invisible in this game.

Although the three midfielders sent by Prandelli today are not very strong defensive players, their ball control and passing skills are very good. Chelsea's desire to break the ball from the midfield and fight back has become an illusion.

On the forward line, Degan's impact is only stronger than Drogba and will not be weaker than Drogba. Mutu's speed advantage can also play a great role in Chelsea's defense.

So during this period, although Chelsea's offensive is very fierce, in the Premier League, the two sides that place great emphasis on offense can't be suppressed at all. Most of the time, they can only rely on midfield players to fight.

In addition to injury time, there are only more than 20 minutes left in the game. During this period, Chelsea has attacked fiercely and the consumption of physical energy is relatively large. At this moment, even Drogba, who has the best physical fitness, is a little tired.

Because Drogba not only has to attack, but also has to defend after losing the ball. In this game, Fiorentina did not defend with all his strength like the first game against Barcelona. When there was a chance to fight back, he was very resolute in his troops, so that Chelsea could not let go at all.

In addition, Florence's three midfielders all have the ability to organize attacks, so Chelsea must invest more troops in defense.

"Afland! I think it's time to control the rhythm. If it goes on like this, our defense line will be very dangerous!" Grant's assistant coach, his Israeli fellow Hubert, timely reminded, "A draw is not completely unacceptable to us!"

Hubert's advice is very correct, but at this moment, Grant's mind is full of victory in this game. Anyone can accept the draw, but he can't.

Terry will be banned from the next game, and the team's defense will be very troublesome. If he can't win Fiorentina at home, it will be difficult for Chelsea to play away.

"No! We must continue to strengthen our attack! Damn, if this time~~~~~~~"

Grant didn't finish speaking, but looked at the bench. Except for Shevchenko, he doesn't even have a substitute striker now.

Shevchenko noticed Grant's eyes and his heart was full of resentment, and he was going to be a bystander in this game.

The high transfer fee that set a record in the Premier League came to Stamford Bridge is a recognition of Shevchenko's ability and also a great pressure. Giving up everything in Milan at the age of 30 is all gambling. If he fails, he may lose everything he already has, but at that time he was still He chose to leave. What made him make such a choice? Some people say it's family, others say it's money. But regardless of the reason, Shevchenko's courage to challenge himself is still amazing.

Isn't it?

Look at Raul, the former golden boy has now fallen like a fighting dog and can only appear in a position that he is not good at. The striker who used to score goals is now can only give up his vocation to score goals for his loyalty, and he has won a good reputation for diligence at the expense of physical robbery and active defense, but Anyone can see that he is not happy. If Raul has the courage to give up everything and start all over again, the result may not be perfect, but at least he will be happier.

London's adventure started with a perfect start. Although Chelsea finally lost in the community shield that season, Shevchenko scored in the first official game of the season. Blues fans have reason to look forward to the next series of goal performances.

But the reality is not as good as dreams. The celebration of kissing the jersey after the first goal comes in exchange for the anger of Milan fans.

May this action is very exciting for most Milan fans, but such an overreaction was obviously unexpected by Shevchenko. After all, the goal appeared in England, and the opponent was Liverpool, the enemy who once destroyed the dream of reaching the AC Milan Champions League.

In fact, it is better to understand the celebration action as Shevchenko's declaration of loyalty to the Blues as the last nostalgia for AC Milan. If the close shot can be entered on Istanbul night, everything will be rewritten.

The anger of Milan fans undoubtedly affected Shevchenko's mentality. Manchester City, which had no intention to fight opposite the Premier League, gave a nuclear warhead to the embarrassing answer of zero shots. The stormy speed of the Premier League field was vividly reflected in this game. Obviously, Shevchenko did not adapt.

But he still didn't let Chelsea fans wait too long. He scored his first Premier League goal in the away game against Michel Shevchenko. Unfortunately, his goal did not bring three points. Chelsea was successfully reversed by his opponent before the end of the game and fell in the standings from then on. After Manchester United, and the curse of "Seva breaks the door, the Blues will be defeated" was also timely spread by the good media.

Next is the first goal shortage that Shevchenko encountered after landing in the Premier League. The poor performance at this stage should be the normal response of players to different leagues. Shevchenko is the most comprehensive striker in Europe, which is beyond doubt, but even the most comprehensive striker still needs time to adapt to the rhythm. . At the same time, the performance of Henry, the ace striker of the Premier League, was also sluggish, and the sequelae of the World Cup began to appear. You know, Shevchenko, who appeared on the World Cup, was just recovering from a major injury and did not reach its best condition. He barely played, which seriously damaged his physical fitness.

But Mourinho gave him absolute support and gave him a continuous opportunity to start to Shevchenko, who was in poor condition. The disappointment again and again made Chelsea fans begin to doubt whether his team was really a striker black hole, and even Sheva, the strongest goal machine in Europe, came here.

Mourinho is unwavering. After every game, you will hear his support and encouragement to the Ukrainians at the press conference. The Portuguese coach who loves rotation put his state theory behind and supports Sheva to look more like a crazy bet now. Anyway, he wants to turn on this goal machine. Mourinho knew very well that Shevchenko's strength was necessary for Chelsea to achieve a breakthrough in Europe. He bet his treasure on Shevchenko again and again.

But Shevchenko gave people disappointments again and again. Finally, Mourinho left, Grant took over, and Shevchenko's position became more embarrassing. At Chelsea, he even had to rank behind Droba, Anelka and young Kalu as the team's fourth striker. Even in this game Grant never thought of the former Mr. Golden Globe when the team needed to score goals.

Looking at Digan, a junior in Milan, who was majestic on the court, Shevchenko only felt that his heart was frozen on a cold and rainy night in London.

Shevchenko recalled the beauty of Milan at the beginning, and Grant was still stubbornly demanding the team to attack.

With the passage of minute and second of the game, it seems that Fiorentina is ready to accept a draw, and Chelsea has gradually slowed down due to physical energy consumption.

But at this time, Fiorentina suddenly exerted strength. Arteta passed the ball in the midfield. Degan, who was inactive in the second half, suddenly seemed to be like a different person. He accelerated under his feet. After shaking off the substitute Barak, he stopped the ball on his back and chest. Without waiting for the football to land, he directly picked the ball behind him and let Fei Leila pounced into the air and then turned to kill Chelsea's penalty area.

te li rushed over at the first time, but Degan did not intend to give him a chance to make up for the defense. After catching up with the ball, he shot directly and the football crossed an arc and went straight to Chelsea's goal.

At the critical moment, Cech made a wonderful save. His body was in mid-air, his arms were stretched out, and his fingertips looked at the football, but there was no way to stop the football from continuing to fly towards the goal.

"shoot! Degan's chance! ~~~~”

Bang!

A muffled sound interrupted the shouts of the commentator of Florence TV. Degan looked at it slightly and could only shake his head repeatedly with a wry smile.
