Chapter 621 The Advantages of Both Sides

"Messi fell! Messi fell! After breaking into the penalty area, Messi fell to the ground under Essin's press! Will this be a penalty?"

Amid the commentator's shouting, the referee did not make a penalty. While signaling the game to continue, he waved to Messi to get up. Messi sat on the ground and spread his hands helplessly, and then he got up slowly. The booed Chelsea fans in the stands were overwhelming.

"Damn it, that guy obviously made a foul, it must be a penalty!"

Xiao Ming pulled the fourth official and shouted, and Mourinho also came to join in the fun: "That's obviously a fake fall! He should show that guy a yellow card!"

"Mr. Mourinho, you are not the referee!" Xiao Ming said with a sneer.

"As far as I know, Mr. Xiao Ming, you have never studied referee courses." Mourinho said tit-for-tat.

"Sorry, I have the amateur referee qualification certificate, and I have the right to speak in this regard." Xiao Ming was full of nonsense.

"Okay, two gentlemen! If you have any doubts, please file a complaint after the game is over. Now, please return to your position!" The fourth official said helplessly. The aggrieved look on his face made the fujokovic feel pity when he saw it - what a cute little feeling, you can't afford to hurt such a fourth official...

The two vicious attackers looked at each other, then walked towards their position angrily. On the field, Chelsea launched a counterattack, Joe Cole passed the ball from the side, and Barack, who was inserted, shot from a long shot outside the penalty area.

Leiden East immediately launched a counterattack. Ronaldo broke through from the left and made a diagonal pass. Gerald received the ball at the front of the penalty area and turned around and passed Fanny in the penalty area. He was intercepted by Carvalho's tackle.

"Chelsea's momentum is a bit different, and it is different from the League Cup finals." McDonald murmured.

"Chelsea has no psychological burden now. At that time, in the League Cup final, I'm afraid many Chelsea players would not pay much attention to it. It's different now." Xiao Ming nodded and replied in a low voice.

Although Leiden East's offense now accounts for nearly 70%, this advantage is not very big. Chelsea's defense is quite tenacious. At the same time, although their counterattack is not very threatened by the blocking of two players who are behind the side, it also involves Leiden East's offensive energy. If you continue to fight like this, although Leiden East has a great chance of winning, it is not ruled out that it loses the game due to luck.

Xiao Ming cannot bear the current failure. Although the FA Cup is not very important, the next league and the Champions League are more important than the FA Cup. However, after Xiao Ming proposed the concept of four-champion titles and used it to motivate players, the out-of-stage blow to Leiden Oriental in the FA Cup was also quite a big blow.

So despite the ease on the surface, Xiao Ming was still a little anxious. If he could score first, it would be much more beneficial to Leiden East.

But judging from the current situation, both sides have opportunities, but it is difficult to break through the opponent's goal. After all, both sides' defense and midfield interception are quite excellent. Leiden Oriental's offense prevails, but Chelsea's defense is tougher.

Messi took the ball on the right, and a huge boo immediately sounded in the stands. It was obvious that Chelsea fans were quite angry at Messi's "fake fall" behavior in the penalty area just now.

Bridge came up carefully. He had more concerns than he had just now. The shot of the foot made him feel scared. If you stick it, you still don’t stick it. This is a problem...

After stepping on half a bicycle, Messi forced a breakthrough!

Bridge took a slight step back and planned to strangle Messi's forward route. However, Messi took a step forward with his right foot, then secretly knocked the ball backward, and then suddenly accelerated and rushed into the penalty area.

The ball rolled to Pirlo, who was behind the back, and the Italian stopped the ball at his feet, then raised his foot and passed it!

The ball quickly leaped through Chelsea's entire defense line. At the same time, Messi quickly inserted it from the middle of Bridge and Terry, lifted his foot and removed the ball!

Messi ran over his head. When he stretched out his foot to remove the ball, he turned his back to the goal. Terry rushed over from the front, and behind him, Cech was already eyeing him.

The ball was removed from the right foot, and then Messi did not turn around, but twisted his body and pushed the ball directly to the other side with the outer instep!

"The scorpion swung its tail?" These four words flashed through Xiao Ming's mind.

He is very familiar with this move. In the history he has been in, we can often see Swedish center Ibrahimovic who has been practicing Taekwondo since childhood using this move to complete the pass or shoot. However, when did Messi, his small body, start playing such tricks?

But no matter what, Messi's unexpected action brought great benefits to Leiden East.

The ball flew backwards, and Ronaldo, who followed, rushed out between Diarra and Carvalho, and then kicked the ball first!

That's right, it's just a kick! After rushing into the penalty area, he saw that there was still a distance from the ball. Little Ronaldo jumped up, slid forward for a while before Essin and Carvalho made the move, and then stretched out his feet to kick the ball with the soles of his feet!

The ball shot in this almost shovel-shooting method will naturally not be too fast. However, when Cech was attracted by Messi and almost gave up most of the empty goal, it was enough.

Cech, who turned around, could only watch the ball rolling into the goal...

"Cristiano Ronaldo! Two young attackers from Leiden East jointly completed a wonderful goal! Messi assisted and Ronaldo scored! Of course, they have to thank Pirlo for his beautiful over-top... After the fierce attack, Leiden East tore open Chelsea's defense line in a head-on situation, one to zero, Leiden East led the away game! They took another solid step from the four-champion title!"

The cheers of more than 7,000 Leiden Oriental fans covered the entire stadium, and more than 30,000 Chelsea fans were silent at the same time!

Abu in the stands cursed swear words, then sat down without saying a word with a stern face, Mourinho's eyebrows frowned even tighter.

Diara and Carvalho waved their hands at the same time and cursed, "It was not that they had done their best just now. Diara even risked giving a penalty kick and pulled Little Ronaldo behind him, but this pull did not stop Little Ronaldo from moving forward. This kid's physical fitness is indeed a little better.

The most attractive thing is Xiao Ming on the sidelines. After seeing the goal, he jumped up, then spread his arms and ran 30 meters along the sidelines, and then shouted loudly at the court as if showing off. Until the Chelsea fans in the stands were about to throw things and smash the bastard to death, he ran back indifferently.

"Mr. Xiao Ming, pay attention to your actions. We can regard your behavior as provoking the home audience."

The fourth official told Xiao Ming seriously.

"Oh, sorry, I was so excited that I didn't notice this." Xiao Ming apologized sincerely: "You should know what it means to score a goal in such a difficult game... I will pay attention to my behavior next."

Seeing that Xiao Ming's words were quite sincere, the fourth official nodded and let him go, but did not notice that Xiao Ming's words seemed to be louder, and even the people on the Chelsea's coaching table could hear clearly...

"This bastard!" Chelsea's assistant coach roared in his throat. Mourinho raised his hand to stop him and said lightly: "That guy wants to irritate us... let's not be fooled by him."

Obviously, Mourinho remained calm enough at this time, which made Xiao Ming feel a little regretful - at this time the players on both sides had already reached the brink of excitement. If the coach at the leading position also began to become excited, it would easily fall into the abyss - players can play with high morale and passion, but the head coach must maintain absolute calmness and judgment. If it cannot be done, few teams can still win in this situation.

Leiden East's goal occurred in the 27th minute of the game. Chelsea still has a long time to get the score back. If they are impatient, it will undoubtedly be beneficial to Leiden East. However, now it seems that although Xiao Ming is constantly stimulating Mourinho, Mourinho still maintains a calm heart.

After the game re-started, both sides continued to get entangled in the midfield. At this time, Chelsea's offensive threat increased. After all, they still had the upper hand in midfield running and confrontation. After running in this area began to gain the advantage, their offense began to become more and more.

Lampard's two consecutive shots tested Yasquelenen's nerves. Lampard's organization is basically very good. He plays more of an offensive terminator. It just so happens that Gerald also plays such a role in Leiden East, so it's no wonder that Erikson and McLaren are all having great headaches about this problem - as long as they don't have the courage to put one of them on the bench, there will be no way to solve this problem.

In this game, Chelsea's wings were suppressed very well, so Lampard's shots became more frequent. One of these two shots was a long shot and the other was a grab in the penalty area. Fortunately, Yasquelenen quickly responded and saved the ball.

When the first half was about to end, Leiden East seized the opportunity to launch a very threatening attack. The continuous short passes in the frontcourt were both fast and beautiful, and they tore open Chelsea's steel midfield and solid defense line. Unfortunately, the last pass Messi gave to Van Nigeria was slightly closer to the goalkeeper, and Cech, who decisively attacked, rushed in front of Van Nigeria and threw the ball in his arms.

After rolling on the ground, Cech stood up, but instead of passing the ball out immediately, he waved his hand to signal his teammates to press on.

"Damn, the last pass was almost ignited. This kind of attack is not something you can do with just a fight." Seeing Cech's appearance, Xiao Ming was also a little paralyzed. He turned around and complained to McDonald. At this moment, Cech drove the ball forward and then kicked the ball with his big foot!

The ball was kicked directly by Cech to the front of the penalty area in Leiden East - this kind of footwork was already amazing. Lucio jumped up at the front of the penalty area and planned to push the ball out, but was blocked by Drogba, jumped up in front of him, and then shook his head and pushed the ball to Barack who followed him in the middle!

"Be careful of that guy's long shot!" Yasquelenen shouted from behind, and Leiden's Eastern defense line also responded quickly. Hepia came from the front and Marklele from the side at the same time, intending to use his body to stop Barak's long shot as soon as possible.

However, Barack did not shoot from a long time, and he did not even stop the ball. Facing Drogba's ferry ball, Barack directly poked the ball and stabbed it into the penalty area!

Leiden East's defense did not make any mistakes. Joe Cole and Shepchenko were both stared by Daniel and Cole, but Barack did not pass the ball to the two forwards, but directly poked it to the unguarded Lampard!

Pirlo rushed over and planned to stop Lampard, but Lampard, who had always seemed to be incredible, spiked the ball and dodged Pirlo's defense, then dribbled the ball into the penalty area, facing Yasquelenen who was attacking, calmly stepped on his left foot, dodged an angle and pushed the ball into the far corner with his right foot!

The ball flew past Jasklenen's leg, then flew into the goal against the far post!

The roars of more than 30,000 Chelsea fans erupted like a volcano! Abu in the stands did not clap his hands with a graceful pat like he usually did, but jumped up from the stands and waved his arms to cheer with the fans!

"Beautiful job! Frank!" Mourinho shouted loudly, then waved his arms hard, then looked at Xiao Ming like a demonstrative look, turned around and hugged his assistant coach.

"Monday, I'm careless." Xiao Ming was a little depressed, but he quickly reminded himself not to be stimulated by Mourinho in reverse - he was equalized by his opponent before the first half was about to end, which was really depressing.

Seeing that he could enter the midfield with a goal lead, it has now become a draw. Xiao Ming felt that he was going to overturn part of his previous idea again - one time and another.

"Be steady, be careful of those guys rushing and beating hard at the last moment."

Just like Mourinho's move after losing the ball just now, Xiao Ming also made a downward gesture to the court. The ball has been lost, and there is no need to regret it. Now the important thing is to stabilize the position and never be pursued by the opponent to take advantage of the victory to overtake the score - that would be really tragic.

As soon as the kickoff was taken, Chelsea did block the midfield, and Leiden East used the advantage of possession to fall back and forth, and it was not until the end of stoppage time that it launched an attack. Gerald's shot missed the far post and did not give the opponent time to attack.

"There is still a second half." Xiao Ming thought to himself.

Maybe Mourinho has the same idea as him.

The players of Leiden Oriental who returned to the locker room felt a little uneasy. After all, Xiao Ming had always emphasized that he should concentrate at any time of the game, but Leiden Oriental was a little relaxed just now. After the attack, he did not return to defense in time, which caused him to be caught off guard by Cech's long pass. Only the defense line was fighting against the opponent's attack. If there were more players returning to defense at that time, maybe the ball would not have been entered...

However, what they were worried about did not happen. Xiao Ming did not blame them for this after returning to the locker room. After all, seeing Cech's possession of the ball, even he thought the situation in the first half had been decided. He, the people on the sidelines, had relaxed, why bother demanding the players on the field? Xiao Ming was not an unreasonable person either.

"The first half passed, and the score was not too bad. Just pretend that the whole first half disappeared directly. Let's start from the second half." Xiao Ming exposed everything in the first half in an understatement, and then began to talk about the tactics of the second half.

"We did a pretty good job in defense in the first half... While taking into account the offense, we also cut off most of their offensive opportunities. The last ball did not mean anything. You know the shortcomings of Daniel and Joe Cole. We continue to do this in the second half, but if they switch to Karau or Wright Phillips in the second half, then don't be used to defending them with your body... Although Phillips became a waste when he went to Chelsea, his speed and breakthrough ability were still good. Karau was also an excellent wing assaulter. If their two wings were alive, we would be in a little trouble."

Daniel nodded. Although he didn't think he would be freed from the two people Xiao Ming said, he was a player who never underestimated his opponent.

"As for offense... our efficiency in the first half was a bit low." Xiao Ming's face became serious: "Yes, their defense is indeed excellent, but is it necessary to fight them head-on? Dispatch, transfer, open their defense and loosen their defense. Also, Diyala is not a full-time full-back after all, and there are loopholes in the cooperation between him and Carvalho. This is where we can use it. Don't rush towards the dense defense places like in the first half. Do you understand?"

"I understand!" The players answered in unison. Both sides performed very well in the first half, and the players of Leiden East were also inspired by the opponent's condition and played a high-level game. However, as Xiao Ming said, the efficiency was a bit low, and he was completely stupid to waste his physical energy with the opponent.

"In short, they have certain advantages in physical possession, but we have the advantage in possession and cooperation. Avoid their advantages and play to our advantages! In the second half, we strive to solve them within 45 minutes and take the most solid step towards the four-champion champion!"
Chapter completed!
