The strongest winger

Chapter 457

Lampard's high-level non-stop ball also made Ai Luo break out in a cold sweat, although at this time he couldn't tell whether the water on his body was sweat or rain.

The crisis the team encountered immediately made Aiello realize that it was time for him to stand up and solve problems for the team, and the only way to solve problems for the team's defense was to use the offensive to hold Chelsea's players in their own half.

Ai Luo turned his head and glanced at Mikel, and Mikel also turned his head because of Ai Luo's gaze, and the two looked at each other.

Soon, Aiello looked away, not because he was afraid of making eye contact with Mikel, but... Canizares' goal kick came out, and as one of the fulcrums of the team's frontcourt, Canizares gave priority to driving to the left instead of the center when he kicked his big foot, because Aiello's height and jumping are very good, which is very helpful for protecting the first landing point.

Mikel didn't look down on Ai Luo's gaze, but immediately posted it. The two young talents will compete for the first time in this game.

In terms of the height and weight of the two, Mikel is taller at 1 meters and heavier, but in terms of speed and agility, Ai Luo is absolutely ahead.

As the football in the air began to fall, the entanglement between Aiello and Mikel became intense. Ailuo kept leaning back, while Mikel pushed forward, trying to squeeze Ailuo away, and then headed the ball forward. However, Ailuo was not as weak as he imagined. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make Ailuo move half a step.

At this moment, Ai Luo judged the landing point of the football, and slammed back with force. Caught off guard by Mikel, both feet exerted force, jumped high, and faced the football with his forehead.

Mikel, who reacted, naturally wouldn't let Ai Luo hit the football easily. With a slight force on his left elbow, Ai Luo lost his center of gravity in the air.

And he was waiting for the referee's whistle.

Ai Luo didn't expect Mikel to defend himself in this way, so he didn't have any protection after jumping up. Fortunately, Ai Luo's on-the-spot adaptability was very good, and he didn't let his neck touch the ground first. Instead, he used his strong waist and abdomen strength to make his body turn an angle when he lost his balance, so that his back landed flat on the soft turf.

But the fall made him choked enough.

"Are you murdering?" David Villa rushed to Mikel to question Ai Luo as soon as he landed.

Mikel faced David Villa, who was a head shorter than himself, and he directly chose to ignore it. Just when David Villa was about to get angry, the referee blew his whistle again hastily.

Then, the referee glanced at Aiello who was lying on the ground, then gestured to the sidelines for the team doctor to come on the field, and then walked towards the foul Mikel.

Hearing the warning from the referee, Mikel's attitude was very good, and he nodded again and again without any rebuttal, expressing his approval of the referee's decision.

Mourinho, who was sitting on the coach's bench, saw that the referee did not show his cards, and let out a long breath, otherwise this game will be difficult to play, and it will also leave hidden dangers for the next round of the game.

The referee turned around to look at Ai Luo, and Mikel also turned his head to look at the past. To his surprise, Ai Luo didn't do anything, just rubbed his shoulders, and there was no serious problem. With Ballack's support, he stood up and jumped twice, looking full of vitality!

"Are you okay?" Barack asked concerned.

"It's okay, it's a joke." While Ai Luo replied, his eyes were looking at Mikel who was not far away, but he said in his heart, "Is this what you call a showdown? Well, you have successfully angered me, damn muscular man!"

"It's fine..."

The game continued. Ai Luo didn't become as timid as everyone imagined after Mikel gave him the slap in the face just now. Instead, he took the initiative to ask his teammates for the ball many times.

Taking advantage of Mikel's tall stature and lack of flexibility in body movement many times, he successively cooperated with his teammates in passing and cutting, which made Mikel feel that he could not use his strength.

Aiello's increased vitality on the field also reduced Valencia's defensive pressure a lot at once. The super midfield composed of Ballack, Albelda and Baraja quickly took control of the midfield.

In the 17th minute, Aiello suddenly accelerated from the left side to bypass Mikel's defense and ran to Makelele's defensive area. At this time, David Silva's football, which was pulled to the second forward position, also passed over. In a short time, it attracted the attention of Makelele and Mikel.

Mourinho, who was sitting on the coach's bench, was shocked and stood up from the coach's bench.

Seeing that Ai Luo was about to catch the football, Mikel behind him and Makelele in front of him both smelled a hint of danger, so they both subconsciously ran towards Ai Luo who was about to catch the ball.

But at the moment when Ai Luo's right foot was about to catch the football, under the unexpected circumstances of the two, they cleverly missed the football. This change made Makelele and Mikel lose their goal.

Taking advantage of the absence of the two, Aiello continued to accelerate forward. David Villa, who had retreated to the right of the Chelsea penalty area, pushed the ball with his foot, and the ball rolled through the gap between Terry and Carvalho.

Terry reacted quickly, twisted his right foot, turned his body, and turned around in embarrassment, just in time to see Ai Luo passing the football passed by David Villa into the penalty area. He knew that he could not hesitate at this time, and grabbed Ai Luo's jersey with his right hand.

The moment Ai Luo was about to enter the penalty area, he was held in place by the quick-responsive captain Terry, and the referee's voice also sounded.

While awarding Valencia a free kick about 20 yards from the center of the goal, Terry was also given a yellow card.

However, because the free kick at this position was too close to the goal, Aiello gave up this opportunity to David Villa, and finally ended the attack slightly above the crossbar.

**
After Valencia's exquisite cooperation just now, Chelsea's defensive players paid more attention to this aspect of defense, so the next time was handed over to the Chelsea players who were playing at home.

The Chelsea fans in the stands were therefore very excited.

Although Mourinho's defensive system is solid and amazing, it is always unavoidable to be frightened when defending, but now it is different, the ball is at their feet, they can release their passion to their heart's content, and then wait for the team to score. Dedicate the long-lost vitality to the beloved team.

But half an hour later, Chelsea's offense still hasn't improved. Both sides of the game belong to the kind of situation where I can't do anything to you, and you can't do anything to me.

Mourinho frowned slightly. He used double defensive midfielders in this game. He was naturally perfect on the defensive end, but it made the offense much weaker. Drogba and Shevchenko are the kind of centers who need strong midfield support to play their own level. Kalou is a good player who breaks through the wing, but he also lacks a good player who makes a breakthrough on the right.

Thinking of this, Mourinho was very regretful. After the World Cup, he talked with Abramovich. What he needs is a super winger who can play 30+ games in a season, not Shevchenko who has passed his thirties.

Now, the nuclear warhead Shevchenko, who spent 3000 million pounds to buy, only scored four league goals and two Champions League goals after more than half the season.

Otherwise, if this game can fly with both wings, how can the offense become so complicated?
Another 10 minutes passed, and the game had reached the end of the first half. The enthusiasm of the fans in the stands had dropped significantly, and the singing and cheering were not as loud as before.

David Villa sped up and ran forward, and Ballack made a straight pass without hesitation, but the intention of this pass was very obvious. Makelele, who was sticking to the middle, had already seen it through, so he moved ahead of time and left the ball at his feet.

As an experienced defensive midfielder, Makelele passed the ball to Lampard in front of him as soon as he cut off the passing route, and he launched the attack.

Kalou on the left cut in at high speed, and Lampard sent a long diagonal pass over 50 meters directly. Miguel knew that his speed was not as good as Kalou, so he blocked his inside line and handed over the outside line.

But this one just hit Kalou's arms, because with Drogba and Shevchenko following up in the middle, the team's counterattack tactic is to let him take the defender away as much as possible, and then kick the pass.

At high speed, Kalu looked as if the ball was still ten meters away from the bottom line. He suddenly swung his left foot to make an illusion of a cross, which made Miguel subconsciously block the ball, and then used the change in rhythm to pass a ground ball.

Albiol finally got stuck in front of Drogba, and then fell to the ground trying to shovel the ball out of the bottom line to ease the team's crisis, but just when he was about to shovel the football, the football suddenly bounced and accelerated, which caught him off guard.

Moretti thought that Albiol's clearance would be sure. He didn't pay attention to Shevchenko who was squeezed behind him just now. When he realized that Albiol made a mistake, it was too late to react.

Shevchenko drew a long trail on the slippery turf, then tiptoed the ball. Canizares didn't react. The ball changed direction and flew into the arms of the goal net.

At the same time, the cheers at the Stamford Bridge Stadium, the roar of the mountains and the tsunami were shocking.

Shevchenko, who scored the goal, climbed up excitedly from the slippery turf, pushed Moretti away who was blocking him, and then ran to the corner flag, roaring non-stop, as if to scream out the grievances of the past half of the season.

He transferred to Chelsea with a £3000 million Premier League price. Unexpectedly, he only scored 4 league goals and 2 Champions League goals in half a season. This made him the title of the largest parallel import in the history of the Premier League.
