Legendary Godfather

Three days later, on November 17, 2013, Chelsea once again welcomed Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge.

This is the quarter-finals of the 2013-2014 English League Cup.

Chelsea will rotate in this game, and the starting lineup is as follows

goalkeeper schwarzer

Back four from left to right Ashley Cole, Luiz, Cahill and Azpilicueta.??.

Midfield three from left to right Oscar, Mikel and Lampard

The front three from left to right Schurrle, Eto'o and Willian

Chelsea's starting lineup has undergone very big changes. Most of the main players have not played and are sitting on the bench. I wonder if this was affected by Tong Yi's words before the game.

There are almost no adjustments to Crystal Palace’s starting lineup. The starting lineup is as follows

edouard

Four defenders from left to right: Alonso, Carvalho, Van Dijk and Zhang Linpeng

Double defensive midfielder Paulinho and Kante

Single attacking midfielder Pogba

The front three from left to right Salah, Lukaku and Mane

When he saw the starting lineup of Crystal Palace, Mourinho's eyes widened in disbelief.

What if Tong Yi doesn't rotate? Can these players physically handle it?

Also, as expected, the remarks this guy made before the game were a trap set up by him, and he was indeed showing weakness to the enemy.

Mourinho was speechless!

This Tong Yi's method is too bad.

Seeing Crystal Palace's lineup, Mourinho felt that their Chelsea team was stable in this game.

Because these Crystal Palace players just played a very high-intensity game three days ago, which consumes a lot of physical energy. If Tong Yi doesn't rotate and let them rest, isn't this looking for death?

Is it true, as Tong Yi said, that Crystal Palace really gave up on this game?

Obviously not!

If he really gives up, will Tong Yi send in these main players? If he really gave up, Tong Yi would have already asked these main players to rest and recover and prepare for the following games. How is it possible to continue to expend physical energy and play in this game?

Obviously, Tong Yi is ready to win!

Tong Yi wanted to play with all the main players and win this game.

However, Tong Yi thought too simply.

He overestimated the physical fitness of their players and underestimated the physical fitness and ability of Chelsea's players.

Mourinho thinks Chelsea will win this game!

Mourinho turned his head and glanced at Tong Yi, shaking his head. Stop struggling, you Crystal Palace can't win this game.

However, in the fifth minute of the game, Mourinho was slapped in the face!

Penalty kick!

The referee of this game awarded a penalty kick and showed a yellow card warning to Chelsea's main center back Luiz.

Because, not long ago, Crystal Palace suddenly intercepted the ball in midfield, and Paulinho sent a good through ball. The football directly penetrated Chelsea's defense, and Salah rushed directly into the penalty area, facing the ball and preparing to shoot.

Louis, who came from the diagonal to defend, suddenly stretched his legs and stabbed the football.

However, he did not stab the football, but directly stabbed Salah's leg.

Salah screamed and fell to the ground.

The referee saw it clearly and whistled the penalty directly. He was merciful and only gave Louis a yellow card instead of a red card!

Because Lewis’s movements still seemed quite big and dangerous.

If the referee wants to give a red card for this ball, Luiz and the Chelsea people will have nothing to say.

Seeing this penalty kick, Mourinho frowned.

No, is our Chelsea's luck so bad today?

Lukaku went directly to the penalty spot and faced veteran Schwarzer.

In this game, Cech did not enter the starting lineup or even the squad. He was completely rested.

To be honest, the Chelsea fans at the scene were a little worried when they saw Schwarzer.

The Crystal Palace fans were a little nervous.

No, Lukaku won't miss the penalty kick, right?

This is a good opportunity for Crystal Palace, and it can even be said to be Tianhu's start. Lukaku, you must seize the opportunity and send the penalty kick into Chelsea's goal.

We beg you, Lukaku!

Go score!

Lukaku made a quick start and hit the football hard with his kick. The football flew low and shot towards the upper right corner of the goal.

The speed of the ball is very fast, like lightning.

Schwarzer in front of the goal judged the right direction, but the ball was too fast, and the football flew into the goal just in front of his fingertips.

One to zero!

Just five minutes into the game, Crystal Palace took the lead.

The whole place was dead silent!

Chelsea fans found it unbelievable. Why did they concede the goal as soon as the game started? They can't accept it!

Of course, the Chelsea players on the court couldn't accept it either.

So after the game restarted, Chelsea's players played a little crazy and pressed a little higher.

This is actually a bit rare in Mourinho's Chelsea.

They rarely launch a crazy attack from the beginning of the game, and Mourinho didn't say anything, as if Mourinho had acquiesced.

Seeing this, Tong Yijiang rose slightly.

Not to mention, Chelsea's offense is still somewhat threatening. Oscar's pass directly found Eto'o on the striker.

Regardless of Eto'o's age, this guy is still very capable.

Fortunately, before the game, Tong Yi reminded the Crystal Palace players to pay attention to defending Eto'o, otherwise they would really suffer. With the help of his teammates, Van Dijk intercepted Eto'o's shot and the football was blocked.

Paulinho, who was at the front of the penalty area, pushed the football directly to the wing, without giving Lampard any chance to rush behind him. Zhang Linpeng on the wing did not stop the ball and directly pushed the football to Pogba who turned and advanced.

Pogba saw Salah advancing at high speed in the space on the left wing. Without saying a word, he made a precise diagonal pass and passed the football into Salah's path.

Tell the forward Salah that there is no need to slow down to stop the ball. He can take the football away and rush towards Chelsea's penalty area at high speed.

Chelsea fans and Mourinho were both terrified. This was too dangerous. ??

Boom, there was no way Azpilicueta could only use a rough foul to stop Salah.

If Salah is allowed to enter the penalty area, Chelsea will be in danger.

Yellow card!

The referee showed Azpilicueta a yellow card and warned him.

Tong Yi was very dissatisfied and angry. This ball should have been a red card. Azpilicueta's foul was really bad, and after Salah passed by, it was a one-man attack. Shouldn't this foul deserve a red card?

The commentators on the scene also believed that the referee was merciful, otherwise Azpilicueta would have been dismissed.

However, Chelsea fans were still criticizing the referee crazily.

They believed that the referee was too biased in favor of Crystal Palace. This was a match-fixing and a black whistle!

Alonso passed the ball into Chelsea's penalty area with a curved kick. Lukaku beat Cahill to header the ball. The ball was slightly higher than the crossbar and Chelsea escaped.

After experiencing this incident, Chelsea still did not restrain themselves.

Obviously, they wanted to equalize the score immediately, so they continued to attack.

At the front of the penalty area, Lampard, who came in from behind, happened to be in the path of the football blocked by Carvalho. He didn't stop the ball and directly swung his leg to hit the goal with his signature heavy kick.

With a bang, the football roared out, grazing the crossbar and flying out of the baseline.

Chelsea fans are so sorry, what a pity!

Mourinho also felt very sorry. What a great opportunity this was, but it was a pity that they just lacked luck.

Go ahead, keep attacking me.

Xuerle from the wing continued to advance, and then the football was intercepted halfway.

Kanter, Kanter stole the ball!

Everyone was shocked. Why did Kanter get to this position?

Kanter's coverage area is also large, right?

hiss!

Many Chelsea people took a breath. They now understand why Mourinho is interested in this guy and wants to do everything possible to introduce him.

Chelsea fans are also tempted and hope the club can win Kante as soon as possible.

After stealing the ball, Kante directly passed the ball diagonally with his big foot and quickly passed the football to the feet of Salah who was advancing.

After Salah received the ball, he did not break through with the ball, but gave a little control to the attacking opponent.

Time to plug in. Then he quickly pushed the football back to Alonso who was following.

Alonso glanced at Chelsea's penalty area, then without stopping the ball, he directly faced the rolling football and crossed with his left foot. The football immediately drew a wonderful arc, quickly flew into Chelsea's penalty area, and flew accurately towards Lukaku.

Beautiful, beautiful cross!

Mourinho's eyes lit up, this full-back has good footwork!

Lewis in the penalty area was very nervous and worried. He immediately leaned over, trying to defend Lukaku!

When the ball arrived, Lewis quickly took off and headed towards the football.

With a bang, Lukaku hit the football, and the football immediately changed direction and hit Louis' open upper right hand hard.

beep!

The referee whistled for a penalty kick again and showed Louis a second yellow card. Two yellows turned into one red, and Louis was sent off!

hiss!

Chelsea fans were stunned!

This referee must have taken money!

However, if you look carefully at other people's penalties, there is indeed nothing wrong with them.

Although Luiz didn't seem to have intentional handball, he clearly opened his arms, expanded the defensive area, and intercepted Lukaku's header shot right in the path.

This is not a penalty kick. What is a penalty kick?

Seeing this, Mourinho was speechless.

Lukaku once again went to the penalty spot. Facing Schwarzer, he made a stop and easily sent the football into Chelsea's goal.

Two to zero!

Crystal Palace leads by two goals!

Chelsea fans were instantly desperate. They felt that Chelsea were really in danger in this game.

Mourinho did not admit defeat. He made crazy adjustments on the sidelines and inspired the Chelsea players to continue playing seriously. They would definitely win.

Chelsea did have more offensive opportunities, but they did not score.

At the end of the half, Crystal Palace led 2-0.

In the 15th minute of the second half, Tong Yi made a substitution and replaced Pogba with Goretzka.

A minute later, Crystal Palace got a direct free kick at the front of Chelsea's penalty area.

Terry, who came on as a substitute, fouled Lukaku in order to prevent Lukaku from turning around.

Goretzka, who came on as a substitute, stood in front of the football and deceived everyone at Chelsea with a direct kick to the ground. The football rolled past the feet of Chelsea's jumping wall and got into Chelsea's goal.

Three to zero.

By this time, everyone in Chelsea was too late, and their team was now at their wits end.

Chelsea will definitely lose this game.

In the 88th minute of the game, Salah got a chance. He received Zhang Linpeng's cross from the back of the penalty area and pushed the ball into Chelsea's goal.

4-0, Crystal Palace massacred Chelsea at Stamford Bridge away from home.
