“goooooooooooooooooooool!!!!!!”

“2:0!!!”

After seeing Zhang Tiehan's goal, the English commentator roared loudly, "Zhang, he scored the second goal for Chelsea, plus one previous goal, Chelsea has already led two goals! It's just the first half, and Chelsea has already led two goals away. Their advantage in the game against Valencia is too great..."

The English commentator is obviously talking about the two teams' game. Chelsea has now completed the advantage in the score. You should know that this is the Champions League quarterfinals 16 knockout match. In the first leg, Valencia scored two goals in the first half, which made Valencia's situation extremely unfavorable. ≥

Seeing Zhang Tiehan complete the goal, the Chelsea players on the court also reacted and ran towards Zhang Tiehan frantically. Zhang Tiehan had already scored two goals for Chelsea. Of course, they would be very happy in the Champions League field, which means that their game against Valencia will be much easier.

"Beautiful job! Zhang!"

"We have two balls advantage, and it's definitely quite easy to beat them."

"There's nothing to worry about!"

Everyone thinks this way, and if you relax, you will naturally be very happy.

But Zhang Tiehan was actually just joking with his teammates. He was not excited at all after scoring the goal and showed his style as a general. In fact, he had nothing to be excited about. He scored a goal and his opponent was Valencia, that's all. This goal was not difficult for him. The opponent still underestimated him, so the goal was natural.

Until now, it is difficult for him to feel anything when he scores a goal in the Champions League. Maybe he will be a little happy if he has the chance to score the third goal and complete a hat-trick.

0:2.

The score on the stadium scoreboard reminds Valencia fans what happened, referring to the reports of Spanish media before the game and Valencia fans' imagination of the game. This score is a bit ironic.

They originally thought that Valencia would play hard, but they still had a chance to defeat Chelsea. For example, if they led one goal at home and got a difficult draw away, they would eliminate Chelsea and enter the Champions League quarter-finals.

But the situation seems not to be like this now. They failed to lead Chelsea. Even when they played at their doorstep, they were still behind two goals. This was completely different from what they thought. As a result, the fans in Valencia are still a little confused. In addition, they also thought of some reports from Spanish media before the game.

"Didn't the team have a good chance? Why did they fall behind two goals in the first half?"

They remember that before the game, Spanish media reported a lot of Valencia's advantages and the reasons for eliminating Chelsea, including "Valencia's rise", "Valencia's strong defense", "Valencia's coordination", and some situations of the opponent, "Chelsea just experienced a change of coaches", "Boas is still too young", "The opponent's cooperation is chaotic", etc., many reasons. In short, the Spanish media's view is that "Valencia has a great chance to eliminate Chelsea."

But now Valencia fans don’t see the opportunity. What they see is that the team is behind two goals, so they all feel confused.

On Valencia's coach, head coach Flores was also confused. He has found that the game was different from his imagination, but he is a little unaware of what to do.

In fact, Flores is not a famous coach. He is still a novice in the coaching industry and has not achieved any great results. Before 1998, he was a professional football player and retired for a few years. In 2003, he found a coaching job in Real Madrid Youth A, perhaps due to his last two years of his career, and then he coached Getafe for another year before coming to Valencia. He was able to work as a head coach in Valencia, perhaps due to his career as a player - he was once a core star in Valencia and played for ten seasons in Valencia.

Valencia fans are not in conflict with this resume, but Flores' coaching performance can only be said to be average. This is his second season in coaching Valencia, and he only performed slightly better in the league. However, more reasons may be the decline of Barcelona and Real Madrid, so Valencia stood out.

Anyway, at this moment, Flores was a little unaware of what to do.

He suddenly realized that the game was different from what he imagined. At least the opponent's No. 9 was different from what he thought. As a former star, he thought that no matter how strong a player was, he could not reach this level. But he found that he was wrong. The opponent's No. 9 was indeed very powerful. This is a player Valencia needs to deal with it with all his strength. Even if he responded with all his strength, it would be difficult to truly limit the opponent's No. 9. In other words, if you want to defeat Chelsea, you must limit the opponent's No. 9, and the team's ability to perform better in the game.

This is a very difficult task, and you must do it.

No wonder all Europe thinks that Chelsea has the greatest hope of winning the championship... Flores understands why so many people recognize Chelsea. Even though their club has various problems and has just experienced a change of coaches, the odds of European bookmakers have not increased much, especially after the league's performance has stabilized, their odds have been lowered a little.

This Chelsea team is really powerful.

Flores didn't know what to do for a moment, but fortunately there was not much time in the first half, so he didn't have to worry about it. With a whistle, the two teams entered the halftime break. Flores also breathed a sigh of relief, at least he could rest for more than ten minutes.

......

During the halftime break, Flores made some adjustments to the team's tactics so that the team could have some offense while defending, but this adjustment is different from what they imagined. Perhaps the adjustment strategy is still the same, but the feelings of both Flores and Valencia players are different. Now the game is different from what they think, and naturally the mentality will be affected. What role can the same adjustment have? It is not certain.

The second half began soon.

After a half-time break, Chelsea's performance has not changed much. They are still very strong and suppressed Valencia at the beginning. Valencia hopes to fight back while defending, but they soon discovered that defense is a big problem. Although the team's tactical mountain has made adjustments, the offense always has to be at the expense of defense. No matter how it is adjusted, it is the case. Unless the opponent can be suppressed in the offense, they can achieve the so-called "offense is the best defense". However, it is obvious that Valencia cannot suppress Chelsea in all respects, so their defense is also a big problem.

In addition to tactics and performance, in fact, the mentality of the players of the two teams is also a big problem.

Chelsea players have no pressure at all. They scored goals in hand, and they were not afraid of even delaying time. If the game had a good mentality, they would naturally perform much better. On the other hand, Valencia players were different. They thought the team could win before the game, but it was really unexpected that the game would be like this now. They had an unstable mentality. Naturally, their performance would be slightly worse.

Compared with the two, Valencia seemed more passive.

In the 60th minute of the game, Zhang Tiehan and Lampard cooperated continuously and hit Valencia in the penalty area. Drogba received the pass and directly carried Valencia to turn and completed the volley. This shot scored the third goal for Chelsea and also changed the score to 0:3. With Chelsea leading three goals, it almost determined that they could eliminate Valencia.

In the next game, Valencia still has few opportunities, but their defense has improved slightly under the shouts of head coach Flores. It is not easy for Chelsea to continue scoring goals.

After the 80th minute of the game, Boas replaced Zhang Tiehan and gave Shepchenko some playing time.

This is also the only thing worth mentioning at the end of the game. After that, neither team scored another goal, and the final score was frozen at 0:3. The home team was in front and the away team was behind. Chelsea defeated Valencia three goals and won the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals. However, anyone knows that this score is fatal to Valencia. They want to go to Stamford Bridge to perform a comeback, which is really a miracle. However, the sky is very clear recently. It is probably true that Valencia wants to go to the sky... I can only think about it.

After the game, even the Spanish media mentioned that "Valencia has basically been eliminated."

The English media said that "Chelsea has entered the Champions League quarterfinals with two feet, with only one corner of the clothes still left behind..." This almost concludes Chelsea's advancement.

Anyone who sees the scores of both teams will think like this, "They lose three goals at home and expect to complete a return away game, that hope is too slim."

After the game, even Flores himself admitted, "We have little hope of advancing, but we will work hard..."

This may just be expressing reluctance.

Some media have also commented on the current performance of Chelsea players, and Zhang Tiehan is undoubtedly the best performer.

Zhang Tiehan scored two goals in the whole game, and his performance in the first half was undoubtedly the most outstanding. Valencia even had to adjust his tactics for his goal. He was the biggest contributor to Chelsea's victory.

Except for Zhang Tiehan, the player with the best performance in the "second" is somewhat unexpected.

In the winter transfer, there are many players closely related to Chelsea, but in the end, Chelsea did not sign up due to various issues such as negotiations, which is completely different from when Mourinho was the head coach. Mourinho became the head coach of Chelsea and immediately completed several large-scale signings - 24 million pounds to buy Drogba, 12 million pounds to win Ferreira, and 16.6 million pounds to sign Carvalho.

Buying Carvalho was Mourinho's last deal in the summer of 2004. In the first year of the Champions League, the Portuguese central defender was selected for the best team, and his value naturally increased. However, in the first two years of coming to Stamford Bridge, Carvalho's frivolous defensive problems were exposed, and the media also had voices questioning his value.

In 2005, Carvalho rebelled and had a quarrel with Mourinho, but was fined and scolded by the madman, "Galas and Terry's partner conceded much less goals than when you partnered with Terry. This is not philosophy, but mathematics that idiots understand!"

Two years later, Mourinho left Stamford Bridge and Carvalho became an indispensable magic weapon in Chelsea's backcourt.

Chelsea's injury is still very serious this season, including captain Terry, who are playing intermittently, but Carvalho has been doing so until now and has performed very stably.

After the game, Opta gave technical statistics, Carvalho's defensive data was amazing, and he also became the best player besides Zhang Tiehan.

The Sun commented on Carvalho, "There are many failures among the players Mourinho bought at high prices, but there are also people who gradually find their feelings, such as Drogba and Carvalho. Although the Portuguese's role in leading the defense line is difficult to compare with Terry, and its stability is not as stable as the captain. But it must be admitted that in the 2006-07 season, the pillar of Chelsea's central defender was no longer Terry, but the guy who has been with the current one is once regarded as a "high-priced parallel product"..."

......

After the first leg of the game with Valencia, the whole team returned to London and Chelsea for a day off.

For them, what they need to prepare for now is the League Cup final against Arsenal.

Chelsea's schedule is very dense, and the four-line battle puts pressure on the team, but there are also important and unimportant, such as the end of the first leg with Valencia. The second leg of the two teams naturally becomes unimportant, because Chelsea can easily win at home, and the FA Cup game is not very important, because Chelsea's opponent is a low-level team. Zhang Tiehan did not play in this game, and Chelsea also easily won. After the FA Cup, Chelsea only has one game left in February. That is the League Cup final with Arsenal.

Chelsea reached the League Cup final?

When many people hear this, they will have questions. The Christmas just passed is full of negative news about Chelsea. It feels like Chelsea is about to collapse completely. Then Chelsea experienced a change of coaches. But in this way, Chelsea actually entered the League Cup?

How is it possible...

But that's the case, Chelsea's performance before Christmas was still very good. After Christmas, they defeated Tottenham Hotspur in the semi-finals and reached the League Cup final. In the finals, their opponent was Arsenal.

This is England's first champion this year.

But in fact, after the game against Valencia, Zhang Tiehan himself didn't feel any fighting atmosphere. He went to Manchester on a day off and looked at his son. He returned to London that day. Life was really confused for him. This was not the worst. Keira Knightley often came to his house for a walk. Once, he almost met his mother Jiang Chen. This was the most headache for Zhang Tiehan. But thinking about Knightley's crazy appearance recently, Zhang Tiehan also felt a little relieved... With Knightley and Lola, that is really not something that ordinary people can have the chance to feel.

But Zhang Tiehan is not the kind of person who is addicted to enjoyment. For him, the most important thing is normal life and football. In terms of life, he has a family and a little son, and everything is pretty good. In terms of football, he has become the world's top star, but Zhang Tiehan still wants to pursue further. He hopes to reach the top, so he still has to work hard for it.

The outside world is still optimistic about him, after all, his performance has always been very good, and Chelsea legendary shooter Dixon commented on Zhang Tiehan's performance.

"Zhang is the craziest shooter I've ever seen," Dixon said. "He's much better than me, and he's hard to understand when he's in bad shape, but that's the truth. In the game, it feels like he's much better than everyone else, maybe this is the performance of his personal ability to reach a certain level. He's a great star and he's going to have a great success at Chelsea, and there's no doubt about it."

Dixon is a legendary killer in Chelsea's history. He scored 193 goals in 9 years at Stamford Bridge. His comments to the striker are convincing.

Dixon believes that in history, there are not many stars who can play their strength in the first year in England's top league, such as Drogba and Henry, but the two are now the pillars of their respective teams.

"Many foreign players are troubled by adapting to the Premier League environment. Even those who grew up in England, it is hard to say that they performed well in their first season. Look at Drogba and Henry, their first season was unknown. Zhang is a special one. He has almost never performed well. This is true in Liverpool and that is true when he came to Chelsea."

"This may be related to his former membership of Manchester United, but it is undeniable that his personal ability is the key, and his ability is too outstanding."

Dixon finally cheered Zhang Tiehan, "We should not ask questions about the results of the League Cup final, but should look forward to Zhang scoring a few goals. I can say with certainty that I am already his fan now!"

Dixon's statement is the pure Chelsea fans' statement. They believe that the team will definitely win Arsenal and win the first championship of the year.

However, the outside world is still looking forward to a fierce battle of words between Chelsea and Arsenal. Unfortunately, Mourinho has left. Boas seems to be very low-key, but Wenger seems to have no intention of being low-key. Before the game, the French satirized Boas as a coaching rookie. He did not have the experience of leading the team to coach, so in the competition, Arsenal has a more advantage.

Boas couldn't let Wenger say this. Now he is Chelsea's head coach. He represents Chelsea. Wenger ridiculed him, which is naturally equivalent to ridiculing the entire Chelsea. So the "honest man" Boas had to stand up and pointed out that Arsenal had never beat Chelsea for three consecutive seasons.

"This time is no exception. They have not won since three years ago..."

This reveals Arsenal's scars.

Indeed, Arsenal has not defeated Chelsea for three consecutive years, both at home and away games, both in the League Cup, FA Cup, Champions League or the League. For them, playing against Chelsea seems to have a shadow in their hearts.

Wenger said on this point, "The previous results are irrelevant. It is important that we are confident of winning this time."

But the media that support Chelsea were very happy that Boas talked about the "key point". Some media said that they did not expect Boas's words to be so sharp, and a single sentence made Wenger suffer the consequences.

However, the battle of words is due to the battle of words. When Boas talks about this game, he still believes that the upcoming final will become a classic battle in the history of English football.

"If a team is only entering the finals of a certain event for the first time, or only having hope of winning the championship in a certain event the entire season, then the team may sacrifice the viewing of the game for victory. However, for Chelsea or Arsenal, there have been records of winning the League Cup before. Therefore, in this final, we will not only pay attention to the outcome of the game. Instead, we will pay more attention to the quality of the game, hoping to leave a classic battle for everyone."

In the 2005 Community Shield, Chelsea beat Arsenal 2-1 at Cardiff Millennium Stadium, when Boas followed the team as an assistant coach.

This is also his return to the Millennium Stadium.

Before the game, Boas appeared in front of the media and talked about Qiu Chan's turf. "I hope the stadium will improve compared to the past. When I participated in the Community Shield Cup, the turf was very bad, which would affect the team's normal performance."

In addition to the turf, Boas's other concern comes from the team's injury situation, because Terry will miss the game. "If everything goes well, he will not be on the field until next weekend as soon as possible."

Terry's injured ankle has been scanned, but the diagnostic report will take some time to come out because the injury is swollen and blood stasis, causing the diagnosis. There is no official news on the Chelsea official website, but the Sun analyzed that Terry will be rested for at least 4 weeks because he is injured in the ankle ligament.

For Chelsea, the most urgent issue is to find a partner for Carvalho in Sunday's League Cup final to deal with Arsenal's attackers.

However, the Wenger Army, who just lost 0-1 to Eindhoven in the Champions League, was not at peace. Arsenal's official website confirmed that both full-backs Hoyt and Klich may miss the game.

Hoyt has a thigh muscle strain, Eb's ankle injury has not yet recovered. Jolu and Gallas have both played guest-game right back. Left young player Traore is on standby. If Clich's foot injury cannot be healed, he will replace the big brother. At the same time, Wenger also confirmed that four generals including Henry will not play.

"Neither Rymbery, Galas, Henry and Lehmann will start. Eb has confirmed that he cannot play and he can participate in training, but I don't think the game can be played yet."

It is good news that both teams have injuries, but Chelsea is still worried about this. Recently, the team's injuries have indeed recurred. Joe Cole continues to recuperate, Terry is injured, and Marklele is also injured naked. Perhaps the only thing that has no problem is the Chelsea striker. Many people joked, "I hope someone on the striker will be injured, so that the position will be freed..." This also led to Shepchenko's playing time not much, and the Ukrainian's performance is no longer a question.
Chapter completed!
