Midfielder.

Chapter 488

Lin Yi laughed, but this time he was lying on the turf. Senna's fierce shovel directly overturned him. The moment Lin Yi completed the pass, his supporting leg was kicked fiercely. kicked.

Fortunately, Lin Yi's reaction was fast enough. His whole body flew up with that force, but he fell heavily to the ground. He didn't lie down on the turf until he saw the ball scored.

This kid laughed a little unscrupulously. He really wanted to fight, but he failed. The pain in his right calf made him a little weak, but it didn't prevent him from seeing the football roll into the net.

A crucial goal, allowing Crespo to complete the goal under the strict defense of the opponent, Lin Yi used himself as a bait, not only deceiving the opponent's defender with the pass, but also with the Throwing Cena's foul under the referee's nose, that guy must be getting a card.

Although Chelsea's goal was scored, the referee couldn't let go of Senna's obviously hurtful foul. What's more, the place where Senna fouled was less than five meters away from the referee.

It is estimated that even if the referee intends to show mercy to him, he will not be able to do it, and what makes Pellegrini most depressed is that Senna already has a yellow card on his body, and now two yellow cards have turned into one red.

Conceding the ball, and then someone was sent off, the effect of this double blow made the stadium of Love Songs silent, except for his players who were still surrounding the referee and arguing about Senna's foul.

"It was an unconscious foul, just because the speed of the taxi was too fast, he didn't come and brake, hell, it wasn't a malicious injury!", the on-site commentator seemed to have the intention to join in the fun.

But his call will definitely be ignored by the referee, even if there are [-] fans responding.

However, such a voice was not enough for the referee to take back the red card that had been raised high. Senna could only walk to the sideline with his head down. Lin Yi, who was set up by Faria and the team doctor, also exited the field with him.

Although Lin Yi escaped most of Senna's direct kick to his leg, the impact still made him unable to get up immediately, and the pain from his calf also made him frown.

When Crespo and the others saw Lin Yi's expression, they hurriedly called Chelsea's team doctor to come up. Compared with a goal, they didn't want to see Lin Yi injured. This kid is the absolute core.

If he hadn't cheated the opponent's defender with fake moves, Crespo would definitely not have picked up such a bargain. Seeing that the kid didn't get up, the Chelsea players didn't even have the mood to celebrate.

In particular, Crespo, who has been playing as a substitute since this season, can score goals in the semi-finals of the Champions League. Whether he stays in the team next season or leaves, it will be beneficial and harmless to him. Foot shot, not to mention whether to score or not, he is fully capable of kicking in that position.

But at the last moment, Lin Yi still chose to pass the ball, and it was a very beautiful ground ball, passing through everyone's interception, allowing Crespo to pick up a leak in front of the goal. The Argentine is also the kind who knows how to be grateful People, so after this guy scored a goal just now, he wanted to drag Lin Yi to celebrate together, but when he saw the kid lying on the ground unable to move, Crespo almost raised his fist at Senna.

Not only him, but a tough guy like Terry planned to teach the guy who kicked Lin Yi a lesson.

"How do you feel?" Faria and the team doctor looked at the shoe print on the back of Lin Yi's right leg and gritted their teeth. If this kid hadn't moved fast enough, the tackle might have been useless. drop him.

"It's okay, it's just a little painful, it should be a hard injury." Lin Yi tried to move his right leg, but it still felt a little painful, but compared to the feeling of powerlessness just now, it was much better.

"Substitution, now you are ready to go off the field and undergo a careful inspection." Mourinho stood by. Although Lin Yi said that there was nothing wrong, Mourinho did not want to take risks after the team led [-]-[-].

Whether you can win the away game or not, is absolutely two different things from abolishing your main core.

For a victory, the team's possibility of winning the championship will be ruined. Mourinho will not do this loss-making business.

Anyway, there is an away goal now, and there are more than 40 minutes left in the game, so there is no need to fight with the opponent.

What's more, even without this kid, Mourinho has the ability to command his team to keep the victory.

If this kid is brought on the field, there may be some bad consequences. If it delays the game later, it will not be worth the loss. Anyway, it is not that no one is available on the bench.

Cassano, Lampard, they can all play. Although they may not be as slick as this kid, there is no weak guy who can catch Mourinho's eyes, not to mention that now he just wants to keep the lead.

"I can still play, it's just that my muscles are a little sore for a while, it's okay." Lin Yi tried to convince Mourinho that he really didn't want to give up this fight with Riquelme, and the winning streak has not yet been decided. .

The second half just started. After scoring the goal, maybe the Argentine will start to counterattack. Lin Yi also plans to have a good arm wrestle with that guy. This kind of duel is far more interesting than a victory.

"Back at home, you still have nine 10-minute chances. Here, your task has been completed. What you need now is rest. I don't want to take an injured soldier to participate in the final battle of the Champions League."

Mourinho wasn't discussing with Lin Yi at this time, although he knew what this kid was thinking, and when he finally met an opponent he was interested in, he always had to decide whether to win or lose.

But if his body is fine, Mourinho is willing to let him do such an attempt, but no one knows whether his calf muscles are in danger now, and he doesn't want to take such a risk.

"Lampard, I'll give you 1 minute to warm up your body and get ready to play. Take Lin Yi's place. Nail me firmly to the opponent's penalty area and make good use of the gun mounts set up by the two center forwards."

If a person like Mourinho was placed in ancient times, he would definitely be a decisive existence. Lin Yi has nothing to say to this teacher. Anyway, if he is sure about something, even ten cows will not be able to pull it back.

Lampard warmed up and played. This move made many Chelsea fans a little worried. Just like those Chelsea players thought, compared with a goal, Lin Yi's injury is obviously more important.

"It's a bad situation. Lin Yi, who just completed the assist, has now been replaced by Chelsea. It seems that Senna's flying tackle still hurt his leg. This is not a good thing for Chelsea, who are preparing to defend their title. Good news, but we still don't know how his injury is, so we can only wait for the news."

When Andy Gray saw Lin Yi being replaced, his tone became a bit low. Although Lampard was replaced, he didn't feel at all that his fellow countryman could bring any excitement to the game.

The source of Chelsea's offense is currently being treated by the team doctor on the sidelines. The only good news is that the ambulance has not arrived yet. Maybe the boy's injury is not as serious as he thought.

Now I don't know how many fans' attention has shifted from the game itself to Lin Yi.

Maybe even Mourinho and Lin Yi didn't expect that the photographers on the sidelines had already aimed their long shots at Chelsea's sidelines, for fear of missing a detail. Personal concern, including those Spanish reporters, are also paying attention to Lin Yi's movements.

All this continued until the team doctor and Faria walked Lin Yi into the player tunnel. However, Pellegrini's substitution in the midfield did not even attract too much attention. Many people seemed to have forgotten , that kid's injury was due to Senna's foul, and the perpetrator has already been sent off.

One goal behind and one less player, this is undoubtedly standing on the edge of a cliff for the already disadvantaged Villarreal team. This is still at their home court, and the opponent has successfully scored an away goal. If Chelsea chooses to hold on, Pellegrini does not know whether he can equalize.

But at this time, he can only bite the bullet and attack, otherwise, if the opponent leaves the Love Song Stadium with victory, it will be a question of whether the next round of the game is necessary.

One of his defensive midfielders was abolished, and Pellegrini became bloody at this time. He directly changed his usual four backs to three backs. Venta, who performed poorly, was replaced, and Franco After being idle for almost five or 10 minutes, they went into battle, and the Villarreal team finally brought out their own three forwards.

Without Lin Yi's interspersed running in the frontcourt, Tacchinardi now only needs to concentrate on dealing with Lampard, and in order to guard against the opponent's double center forward, Pellegrini can only concentrate the defenders in the middle.

Alvarez, Aruabarena and Arzu who have a relatively large range of activities, although the loopholes on the two sides are more obvious, but without Lin Yi's ghostly pass, the pressure will not increase.

At this time, Pellegrini can only be desperate. He can only expect Riquelme to show the kind of magic he did against Inter Milan, using the impact of the three strikers to try to equalize the score.

The tactical arrangement that neither coach of the two sides will take a step back can be regarded as sweeping away the slightly dull atmosphere of the previous games between the two teams, and replacing them with an open offensive style of play.

Mourinho allowed the two wings to penetrate more, Drogba and Crespo firmly suppressed the opponent's central defender, not only they used air strikes to deter each other, Lampard can also perform back row penetration superior.

Perhaps Lampard does not have Lin Yi's ability to embroider with his feet, but his offensive ability has never been weak, otherwise he would not always be in the top three in the Premier League scorer list, let alone this time with him There were two other center forwards to set up guns for him. After 5 minutes on the field, Lampard had two long-range shots from the outside of the penalty area. If Barbosa hadn't reacted quickly enough, both shots would have scored.

Even so, the muffled bang on the door still made Barbosa's heart beat wildly.

They didn't choose to stick to it. Maybe it was Mourinho's tactical choice that gave Villarreal the hope of tying the score. Although there was always pressure on the back line, their offense never stopped, especially Riquelme also became ruthless in midfield after seeing the score rewritten.

It may be that seeing the little guy who is almost ten years younger than him, use such a calm choice in front of his penalty area to help Crespo score, Riquelme also has to prove his worth.

After nearly 10 minutes in the second half, Riquelme was brought down from behind by Essien in a breakthrough with the ball in the frontcourt. A free kick was nearly 30 meters away from the goal, but his curve ball was still heavy. It hit the goal post, which made Mourinho's heart skip a beat when he was watching from the sidelines. This was only his first free kick performance. After 10 minutes, he was 25 meters away from the goal. Another kick came in the place, this time the post didn't help, but Cech made a flying save.

But no goalkeeper likes to accept such a test. Cech doesn't want himself to appear in the best save shot every time. He would rather choose to have a mediocre process, and then win and leave.

The game that made the goalkeeper shine can only be said that his team's defense line is too useless. Although Riquelme did not single out Chelsea's entire defense line, his free kicks are enough.

"When will I be able to practice his accuracy?", when Riquelme continued to put pressure on Chelsea with free kicks, in the dressing room of the visiting team, there was a kid lying on a medical bed, very interesting Discussing the accuracy of Riquelme's free kick with Faria emotionally, this made Faria who was frowning at the side speechless. This kid didn't seem to care about his leg at all.

"You seem to be injured now, can you turn your attention to healing instead of keeping those eyes on the TV? I've asked you three times where it hurts!"

Faria was completely at a loss for this guy who turned on the TV from the moment he entered the locker room.

Compared with the bruise on his right leg, that kid seems to be more concerned about the progress of the game now.

And there is nothing wrong with pulling out the opponent's free kick, that is a look of envy and hatred.

"Uh, I'm just talking casually, yes, the place you pressed just now hurts." Although Lin Yi agreed with his mouth, his eyes never left the broadcast screen, especially when Riquelme was on the 20th. Three free kicks were taken in a row within a few minutes, and each time Cech made a difficult save.

"Your uncle! It was your knee that I pressed just now! It's your fucking left leg! You hurt!"

Faria is about to go berserk now, but Lin Yi has been watching the TV broadcast all the time except for a sneer on his face, but his attention has completely shifted from the score to Riquelme's free kick. He has also practiced hard for almost a year, but in the game, he has not personally taken a penalty.

"Maybe I should suggest it to that guy, and if I get another chance, I should try it."

Lin Yi is now a little obsessed with this kind of game that is similar to shooting a moving target, especially Riquelme's free kick arc is low, fast, and the angle is especially tricky, just like a work of art.

Maybe he is not as good as Beckham's full moon scimitar and Lampard's long-range heavy artillery, but Riquelme's murderous intentions in every movement and silence are unassuming, but they can always threaten your goal.

"Now I really want to go on the court to see his free throw state up close, alas." Lin Yi no longer cares about whether his right leg has a hidden injury, he cares more about whether he can observe it up close The opponent's performance and face-to-face observation are always more intuitive than watching those so-called videos.

But it seems that such an opportunity can only be saved at Stamford Bridge. Now he can only stay in the dressing room and be ravaged by Faria and the team doctor. In fact, the impact on the calf is nothing. Just treat it as a post-match muscle massage. Now, Lin Yi also knows that now it is more like a protected animal, and it is Chelsea's treasure.

Lin Yi was still lamenting in the locker room, but the hot scene on the court did not become silent because of his absence. Just because the opponent wanted to equalize the score, the pace of the game gradually became faster.

Riquelme's slowness also began to become more aggressive in this atmosphere, but Essien had already received Mourinho's order, either to use his body to block the opponent, or at all costs.

From Lin Yi's dismissal to Villarreal's change of formation, in these 40 minutes, Riquelme, under the defense of Essien, won a total of four free kick opportunities and also allowed the opponent to get a yellow card.

But Villarreal's offense is always close to the last breath. Whether it is a double striker or the current three strikers, they want to break through Chelsea's defense. It always looks close but it is difficult to do.

Terry, Carvalho, Bosingwa and others, firmly guarded their own area, and did not leave any opportunity for the Villarreal team. Even if they have three forwards, they cannot rush indiscriminately. .

Whether it's air combat or melee combat on the ground, in front of this squeezed defense, there is not much room for Fran and the others to dodge and move, and only Riquelme can always maintain the suppression of Essien, but one person is missing. For the Villarreal team, there are only so many troops that can be invested in offense.

Even Sorin can't push up sometimes. Although the two lunatics Robben and Ribery don't have Lin Yi to deliver the through ball behind them, the opponent has transformed into a three-man defense, which gives them two opportunities to gallop on the wing. Opportunity, either a pass from the bottom, or a dribble inside after a breakthrough, is arbitrary anyway.

Especially Franck Ribery, that guy is not tall but has a strong body. Every time he breaks through, he can cause a lot of trouble for the opponent. Among them, he knocked back from the bottom twice on the wing, almost letting Drogba in. Score in front of the goal, if it wasn't for Aruabarena's quick reaction, the score might have been rewritten.

After more than 40 minutes of confrontation, Chelsea failed to continue to expand the fruits of victory, but Villarreal also failed to save the defeat. Although Riquelme frequently threatened the gate guarded by Cech, the Czechs' hands Like a big net, firmly holding down the shells fired from Riquelme's feet, Pellegrini's three-forward tactic was overshadowed by Chelsea's steel defense, although there were more than 2 The fans were shouting for them, but the final result was still one to zero.

Taking away a victory in the away game, although it was only [-]-[-], was enough. The only regret was that when Chelsea left Spain, Lin Yi had a layer of protection on his calf. . .

(How come the men's basketball team can't play when the score is close?)
