The strongest winger

Chapter 749 Lore Chance?

The fans of the home team in the stands were very satisfied with the referee Stark's penalty, so they also gave the referee practical applause.

Suddenly, the referee has become an ally in the hearts of the fans of the home team.

Modric's playing gave Mourinho a taste of sweetness. He made a second substitution adjustment in the No. 80 minute. Joe Cole replaced Mikel, who had a yellow card on his back, and continued to enhance the possession of the ball in the center.

This substitution adjustment had an immediate effect. The ball-handling abilities of Joe Cole and Modric made Chelsea not at a disadvantage in the process of switching from defense to Barcelona's high press.

In the 82nd minute, Ballack fell to the ground to block the football passed by Iniesta to Messi's feet, and then poked the ball to Lampard before Henry and Messi made it up.

Seeing this, Harvey and Bojan rushed to Joe Cole who was holding the ball one after the other, trying to intercept the ball and organize a second attack, but Joe Cole did not give them this chance. The football did not stay at his feet for even one minute longer. He was trained by Mourinho before playing.

Joe Cole cleverly knocked the ball with the heel of his left foot to the unmarked Modric not far behind him, and he was kicked to the ground because Xavi had no time to stop his foot.

Modric took the ball and turned to face the direction of Barcelona's gate, while Drogba and Aiello advanced at the same time.

Three against four!
But what people didn't expect was that the referee's whistle sounded, calling for Harvey's foul.

According to football rules, if the offense is favorable, the referee should allow the offense to proceed smoothly, and even give Harvey a yellow card when the ball is dead, but what is surprising is that the referee just blew the whistle when the home team's offense was favorable.

Although he gave Harvey a yellow card, it was incomparable compared to Chelsea's quick counterattack.

The three-on-four situation can easily lead to goals, especially Chelsea has a counterattack master like Aiello, and the scoring rate is much higher than other teams!But even though the Chelsea players were angry, they didn't complain too much. The referee blew the whistle back and showed Harvey a yellow card. According to the relevant rules, it is also possible.

Mourinho, who was standing in the visiting team's command area, slammed the water bottle in his hand on the turf angrily, venting his dissatisfaction!

Compared with a dog-fart yellow card, he is more willing to choose a quick counterattack!
However, with the controversial penalties for most of the second half as psychological preparations, Mourinho was not too angry, but pointed at the referee viciously at his temples with both index fingers.

With Chelsea's offensive coming up, Barcelona, ​​which is playing at home, shrank again. The midfield combination of Yaya Tourega Xavi and Iniesta could no longer defend against the powerful Chelsea offensive group. He decisively chose to replace Henry, whose physical fitness had already declined significantly, with the offensive and defensive Hleb, and strengthened the team's defensive level in the middle, because Guardiola had already seen that the team was at a disadvantage.

Although he would like to eat Chelsea at home, he does not want to lose to Chelsea at home, and there will be no suspense about going to Stamford Bridge in the second leg.

Goals are always based on a solid defense to achieve results.

When there were 5 minutes before the regular time, Barcelona made a second personnel adjustment. Hleb replaced Henry, who was physically exhausted, and Messi was placed in the center position, but his position was very flexible and not fixed.

Not long after, Chelsea took advantage of a dead ball opportunity to replace Drogba with Anelka to strengthen the attacking power of the center.

"Oh? Barcelona replaced Henry with defensive midfielder Hleb, while Chelsea replaced Drogba with declining physical fitness with Anelka. This...are these two teams making a mistake??" Looking at this substitution adjustment, the neutral commentator was a little confused.

"Who will dare to say that Jose Mourinho is conservative in the future? Look at Barcelona's substitutions and then look at Chelsea's substitutions. Who is going to admit defeat at home?"

Clive Walker clenched his fists and shouted.

Two minutes later, the controversy on the field reappeared.

Anelka received a precise cross from Aiello in the center after breaking through from the wing, and overwhelmed Barcelona captain Puyol to head the ball into the goal. When the Chelsea players were about to celebrate, the referee blew his whistle and made a movement of pressing his left elbow from top to bottom at the puzzled Chelsea players, which meant that Anelka, who was heading the ball, fouled first.

Chelsea fans in the stands and fans from Valencia booed the referee loudly, but under the influence of the home fans, there was only cheering in the air above the Nou Camp.

In their visual cognition, the Chelsea players must have fouled first.

Messi stood frowning at the arc of his own side. Apart from assisting Iniesta to score throughout the second half, his performance was sluggish. Obviously, he was dissatisfied with his performance during this period, so he clenched his fists and made up his mind to overtake the score before the end of the game.
Of course, the most unacceptable thing for him is to lose to Aiello again at the club level, which is unacceptable for Messi, who is more ambitious than the sky.

Along with the slow motion playback, the narrator in the live studio also gave his own insights.

"The referee's penalty is really incomprehensible to me. I have commented on football games for so many years, and only now do I know that such a jumping and header is a foul!" Sky TV ace commentator Andy Gray sarcastically said.

"The first half was so fair, but in the second half the situation changed suddenly, and the penalties were unfair many times. Is it really okay for the referee to be like this?"

Lineker shook his head.

He Wei also frowned again, and said: "The referee Stark's penalty this time is really disappointing. Anelka completely relied on his physical advantage in the air to overwhelm Puyol to head the ball into the goal. How did it become a pressing foul in the referee's field of vision? What makes me even more incomprehensible is that the referee's position is directly in front, and there is no visual obstruction..."

At this time in China, as a netizen named Ghoul posted a post "Barcelona is in godfather mode?" appeared on the post bar, and countless Chinese netizens also quoted this term.

Immediately, there were endless posts about Barcelona turning on the godfather mode, which can be said to be dazzling.

While the commentator in the live studio was still giving his opinion on the previous penalty, Barcelona had already organized a wave of offensive. However, as Eto’o and Henry went off one after another, Valdez did not blindly kick, but took advantage of Chelsea players not paying attention, and fell from the backcourt to the frontcourt.

The Chelsea players were very focused, and Messi faced Chelsea's entire defense after receiving a pass from Harvey.

Messi's personal ability is indeed strong, and the combination of man and ball is very good when he dribbles and breaks through at high speed, but as the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat with four hands. In addition, which of Chelsea's defensive players has not suffered from Aiello's breakthrough training?Facing the weakened version of Aiello, I still have some experience. Ashley Cole took advantage of Messi's physical fitness and quickly found a body contact. Then Terry knew a reasonable position and blocked the ball.

In the last few minutes of the whole game, many of Barcelona's players were in poor physical condition, and they will challenge Real Madrid at the Bernabéu this weekend. They don't want to waste their energy in this game that seems to have no chance of winning.

Therefore, no one made a high-position press, but slowly retracted the formation and waited for the next attack.

Therefore, Chelsea quickly passed through the midfield, and Modric also organized an attack, but Anelka's last shot was weak under the interference of Puyol, and was easily held by Valdés, but he was very active.

Valdez, who was about to kick the ball forward, had to stop his forward momentum abruptly, and patted the ball on the ground.

After the interference, Anelka did not leave the penalty area quickly, but shook twice in front of Valdes before leaving.

Messi, who raised his right arm to ask for the ball, swung his arm down angrily, obviously very dissatisfied with Valdez for not driving the ball!
But the depressed Valdés naturally ignored Messi's complaints. Just now Anelka suddenly appeared in front of him. If he insisted on kicking the ball with a big kick, the football would most likely fly to the goal behind him.

After shooting the ball, he observed his teammate's running position, and then threw the ball to Abidal on the left, but after completing this action, he regretted it, so he then shouted: "Eric, be careful!"

However, it was obviously a bit late. Abidal caught the ball and turned around to see the energetic Joe Cole rushing over. He was so scared that he turned to the left on a conditioned reflex and made a big foot clearance.

It's just that the effect of the big feet of this conditioned reflex doesn't seem to be good.

An exclamation erupted at the scene.

Anelka and Puyol looked at the football that started to fall in mid-air and kept squeezing for positions, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that the former, who was taller and more outstanding, had an advantage.

really!

Even if Puyol had already strangled Anelka's jersey, he couldn't let him grab the football, and the football was rubbed behind Anelka.

Max ran over to help, but was a little too late.

As the footage was broadcast, Lineker in the live studio became excited and chanted: "Is this a chance for a lore?"
