Chapter 1009 How Unpopularity Was Born

Almost everyone in the world guessed wrong.

Except for Chelsea fans.

With a [-]-[-] draw with Bayern Munich at home in the first round, Chelsea played in an extremely embarrassing manner. Except for defense, all other statistics were lost to Bayern, and the gap was very different.

So much so that even many British media ridiculed that Chelsea played like an amateur team in front of Bayern.

Strictly speaking, this is true.

Even not only in the first leg, Chelsea was still in a mess when they were a guest at the Allianz Arena in the second leg.

There is no need to say how much Bayern attaches importance to this season's Champions League. All you need to know is that the final of this Champions League will be held at the Allianz Arena.

Before the second leg was played, the German media was building up momentum. They wanted to beat Chelsea by more than three goals at home, and they had to teach the Premier League Blues a lesson in order to repay the humiliation of being tied away in the first leg. The morale of Bayern was like a rainbow.

It can be said that before the game, except for Chelsea fans, everyone's predictions for this game were one-sided. Even the odds offered by all bookmakers were Bayern handing over a goal, which shows how obvious Bayern's advantage is.

The Champions League semi-finals all the year round, once won the triple crown for three consecutive years, Bayern's strength is comparable to that of a dynasty, and they attach great importance to this game. It is not surprising that everyone is so optimistic about the German giants.

The trend of the game also seems to confirm this view of the outside world.

In just 3 minutes of the opening, Thomas Muller took advantage of a mistake in Chelsea's defense and received an assist from Modric to open the scoring for Bayern and open the door to victory.

Bayern fans at the Allianz Arena also cheered wildly.

Afterwards, the game completely entered a one-sided situation where Bayern attacked and Chelsea defended.

The iron blood and tenacity of the Blues won unanimous praise in the first round, but in the second round, even if they conceded a goal early, they still took strict precautions.

Cech was stationed in front of the goal, Terry was the pillar of the defense, Lampard was in the midfield, Drogba was at the top, Chelsea's entire central axis supported Chelsea's iron wall, no matter how Bayern Munich attacked, they still failed to break through Chelsea's goal again.

Under the wave after wave of Bayern's offensive, in the crisis after crisis in front of the goal, Chelsea seemed to be precarious, but they just refused to fall. Every player on the pitch was doing their best and condensed into an unbreakable whole.

That kind of spirit, that kind of momentum, really makes people feel moved.

This is the Jagged Blues!

……

"It's really ironic to say that."

Pepe clicked his tongue in surprise, sneered and shook his head.

"Barcelona, ​​coached by Mourinho himself, was forced to play against us, [-]-[-] at home and [-]-[-] away. However, the Jagged Legion he left behind has insisted on defending until now under the strong offensive of Bayern."

Today's Chelsea team is still dominated by the team from the Mourinho period, which no one can deny.

Drogba, Lampard, Terry and Cech are all the central axis of the Mourinho period. These veterans have straightened Chelsea's backbone and at the same time kept Chelsea's spirit.

This is definitely not simple, one or two sentences can make it clear, but a kind of precious wealth accumulated over the years.

It may gradually dissipate with the departure of this group of veterans, and it may not even appear again in the future.

But at least for now, at this moment, when facing Bayern Munich, it is still the core combat power of this Chelsea team.

It is also the most admirable place for Chelsea.

As for whether the veterans created Chelsea's spirit or Mourinho created this spirit, there is no need to dig into the horns.

"Bayern still have to try to score one more goal, otherwise it will be dangerous." Su Dong reminded.

Gomez played fairly average tonight, in front of Terry and Cahill, he didn't get too many performance opportunities.

In addition, Ribery and Robben also lost their threats. Thomas Muller also performed, but failed to score again.

Today's Bayern Munich's offensive is very strong and fierce, but the efficiency is not high, which is a big problem.

Everyone only remembers that Capello is a typical one-to-zero doctrine, but many people forget that Capello also said that one-to-zero is the most dangerous score in the world, which is very unsafe.

Does this sound contradictory?

Actually not.

Capello's one-to-zero doctrine is not not to attack, but to give priority to defense, first to ensure that he does not lose the ball, and then to attack, so the investment in the offensive end is very small, and scoring is more difficult, so he often only scores one or two goals.

So why is it said that one to zero is the most dangerous?

Because the score could be equalized at any time.

Especially in the current situation like Bayern Munich, which occupies an overwhelming advantage, but has not been able to expand the results for a long time.

This is how upsets are often born.

"Drogba is very experienced and very tenacious at the same time. Once he is negligent and seizes the opportunity, he will be able to score every minute. At that time..."

Su Dong hadn't finished speaking, but Peipei and the others all looked up at him.

Since the team eliminated Barcelona and entered the Champions League final, everyone was very happy, so they decided to have a dinner at Su Dong's house and watch Chelsea's away game against Bayern.

At this moment, when everyone heard what Su Dong said, they were all reminded immediately.

In the first round at Stamford Bridge, the two sides shook hands [-]-[-]. If Bayern can maintain the current [-]-[-], they will naturally be able to advance to the final, but if they are scored by Chelsea in the later stages, the score will become [-]-[-].

The total score is tied, but the problem is that Chelsea have a valuable away goal, which is tantamount to a reversal.

Heynckes is obviously aware of this, so he keeps reminding the players on the field to be steady, not to let go of the kick, to slow down the rhythm appropriately, and to stabilize the rhythm and defense.

"Bayern is a little anxious now." Toni Kroos also realized the seriousness of the problem.

When he played football in the past, he really didn’t think too much about it. He just followed his temperament and habits, but after playing under Guardiola for two years, his level of control of the ball and rhythm in the midfield has really improved a lot.

In other words, so far in the game, it seems that Bayern is leading and has an advantage, but Chelsea may reverse at any time.

……

The more we got to the end of the game, the more nervous everyone became.

Not only the opponents on the court were nervous, but even the people watching the game were also nervous.

Everyone can see that Bayern has an absolute advantage in strength, but Chelsea is too tenacious.

The two teams are attacking and defending, but Bayern really can't chew Chelsea's tough bone.

At this time, the commentator of the live TV broadcast said, "At this critical moment, Bayern Munich fans must miss Su Dong very much, because in the past at such times, Su Dong stepped forward to save the team and turn the tide."

"After Su Dongyuan left Manchester City, although there are stars such as Ribery, Robben, Modric and Gomez in the Bayern Munich team, at this critical moment, no one can stand up and score another goal for the team, establishing an advantage, so that both teams are fighting for suspense."

When everyone in Manchester City heard this, they couldn't help turning their heads and looking at Su Dong, they couldn't help feeling admiration in their hearts.

The narrator is right, Su Dong's role is more obvious at critical moments.

Especially for the players on the court, this is a feeling that cannot be explained clearly to outsiders. Anyway, with Su Dong by his side, he feels at ease when playing football.

Time ticked by and Bayern still failed to score, but it looked like they were going to hold on to a one-to-nil scoreline.

But in the No. 808 minute of the game, Chelsea made a counterattack in the frontcourt and won a corner kick.

"I don't know why, but I always feel that this corner kick is very dangerous." Su Dong shook his head.

It's a scorer's instinctive sense of smell, a keen sense of danger.

Just when the surrounding Manchester City players were puzzled, Juan Mata took a corner kick, and there was chaos in the penalty area. Drogba burst out from the crowd, just ahead of everyone, and headed the goal from close range.

The ball was headed into Bayern's goal! ! !

Côte d'Ivoire is like the king going crazy and charging on the court!

All the Chelsea players were frantically chasing him, roaring and venting at the top of their lungs.

One to one!

At the last moment of the game, Chelsea reversed!
In front of the TV, everyone in Manchester City was stunned, especially looking at Su Dong like a magic stick, and wanted to ask, how did he know he was going to score a goal?

In the ensuing game, Bayern Munich counterattacked frantically and created consecutive opportunities, and even got a penalty kick at the last moment of overtime.

Robben personally took the penalty.

This was originally a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but as a result, Robben's penalty kick was directly saved by Petr Cech.

The entire Allianz Arena was in despair.

Many Bayern fans couldn't help crying.

They led by nine and 10 minutes, but at the last minute, they abruptly lost their qualification for the final.

Chelsea is indeed tenacious and persistent, but the problem with Bayern losing the game is their own, not others.

Whether it was a corner kick defense error, or wasting too many opportunities, or Robben missed a penalty kick in the end.

"As I said just now, Bayern Munich will miss Su Dong very much!" The live commentator said with emotion.

"Just like all the teams that have lost Su Dong, only when they lose will they understand the value of Su Dong, and will feel regret and regret."

"Maybe, no, it should be said, [-]% sure, Bayern fans will continue to miss Sudong for many, many years to come!"
