Chapter 146 Overtime Penalty!

() Vermaelen's strong shot stunned all the fans. When the kick was hit, the football flew about a distance of about one person's height. The kick was fast but the arc was not big. It looked very Like a rainbow after the rain, it is very beautiful; when the football is about to approach the goal, it suddenly falls, and the fall has completely exceeded the goalkeeper's expectation. At this moment, the arc stops abruptly, as if being pulled by something. Falling but forgetting the arc.

Cech has already thrown out according to his own prediction, but there was a time lag between the football bounced hard in front of him and Cech's thrown body. When the football bounced again, the Czech could only watch the football hit the net!

"goooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaallllllllllllllll!" Old Kewell screamed crazily: "This is a defender's footwork??!! Vermaelen kicked a wonderful goal that I have never seen in my life, even better than Playboy's three version girl!!!"

Li Cha waved his fist vigorously in the air when watching the ball go into the net in the crowd. The goal was really beautiful, and Vermaelen did save Burleigh by surprise at a critical moment.

The fans sang the team anthem loudly, and they celebrated that the team was once again pulled back from the brink of death.

At this moment, Li Cha immediately grabbed one of the fans and shouted loudly: "Calm down, calm down!"

The fans didn't understand what was going on, thinking that the team's head coach was celebrating with him crazily: "A goal, Mr. Coach, our team scored a goal!!"

"I know a goal is worth celebrating, but calm down now!" Li Cha yelled and said, "Call, make a call for me, the situation is urgent now."

The fans understood Li Cha's words. The shouts of more than 1 people might not be able to hear clearly even if they were talking face to face, but the fans took out their phones.

Li Cha quickly dialed a number, plugged his ears with one hand and held the phone in the other, and said, "Tell Allen to replace Diarra with Redondo, and tell Fernando to put all the team's frontcourt forces into the middle." , the distance between each person should not exceed five meters, use short passes at close range to mobilize the defense of Lampard, Makelele and Parker, as long as there is a gap, as long as there is an appropriate shot distance, immediately go far."

The team doctor who had been waiting to deal with the wounded on the sidelines held the phone in one hand and pointed his thumb in the direction of Li Cha with the other, signaling that he understood.

Subsequently, the team doctor walked to the coach's bench during Vermaelen's crazy celebration, whispering in Allen's ear.Listening to the team doctor's words, Allen glanced back at Li Cha in the stands, and then carried out the order without any doubt.

Redondo replaced Diarra, and at the most critical moment, Li Cha replaced a midfielder with a midfielder.

"This is a substitution that everyone can't understand. Our assistant coach replaced Diarra with captain Fernando... What does this mean? Even if you want to strengthen the defense, you should replace an attacking player. A midfielder for a midfielder? Lars is still very physically fit, and he can keep running..."

Kewell didn't understand, but Alan understood what Richard was thinking!

Allowing players to stand at close range, with a distance of no more than five meters, is equivalent to shrinking the formation. The shrinking formation means that the passing distance is shortened, so that it is not easy to make passing mistakes, but this must have a core, so Redondo can only Another advantage is that it can prevent pure defensive midfielders like Makelele and Parker from running, and they can't cover a larger area when they can't sprint.Replacing Redondo shows that Li Cha has considered further. First of all, he not only considered Redondo's long-distance shooting ability, but also considered the deterrent power that the captain's presence can make the players feel at ease when a penalty is kicked for a while!

What Li Cha knows is not just encouragement, his tactical quality is gradually improving after a year and a half of training.

beep.

When the whistle blew again, Chelsea played more anxiously. Parker and Joe Cole cooperated several times in succession and then handed the ball to Lampard. Lampard did not see that Drogba was on the better side position, directly three meters outside the penalty area and shoot vigorously.

bump.

This shot attracted the attention of all the Burleigh players, but Li Cha watched everything steadily, because he knew that Schmeichel would definitely confiscate this shot, and Rich Laverty did a lot on weekdays. Do long-distance training for Schmeichel.

Sure enough, Schmeichel just moved two steps to the left to catch the ball, and then threw the football on the ground to relieve the pressure. When the football bounced back in his hand again, this time Schmeichel did not kick the ball with a big kick. Instead, he threw the ball to Redondo.

From this second, Burleigh players began to surround Redondo, and the distance between each of them was no more than five meters. They seemed to be playing a game with a very large number of people... During the training of each team, Players will besiege the city in a circle and keep passing the football under their feet, and then find one or two players to fight in this circle. Stealing the ball means the defensive player wins, and the ball keeps passing, the attacking side wins. This kind of training can not only train passing Cooperating with the team can also exercise the ability to steal the ball... Burleigh is now playing this kind of multiplayer game.

The moment Makelele rushed up, Redondo quickly handed the ball to Baines, and when Baines faced Joe Cole's harassment, he handed the ball to Ashley, and Ashley returned the ball To Mata, Mata to Nasri... This is an infinite loop!

Ball control game, this is a ball control game, but Richard's ball control game is completely different from the ball control game used by Guardiola in Barcelona after that, Richard has shrunk his team into a very small team Spherical body, let this spherical body keep the ball under your feet through passing and receiving on the court. Barcelona played more beautifully and purposefully during Guardiola's time, and it was completely for playing a certain line. Passing the ball, which Burleigh can't do now.

Li Cha knows that his team is not good at passing the ball. They practice defense and counterattack every day. It is very dangerous for them to suddenly appear in front of the enemy with this kind of ball possession tactics. A pick pass can penetrate everyone's defense, and Joe Cole and Drogba will complete the lore.

But is there any other way for Li Cha?

Gone!

He can't play a defensive counterattack with a team that survives on defense. At that time, Mourinho will definitely let his team attack, Lampard, Drogba, Joe Cole and even Parker and Makelele once The flash can completely obliterate Burleigh, not to mention that there will be countless corner kicks after Chelsea's attack. Terry, a defender with a knife, is well known for his header ability, which is tantamount to sending his team to the cutting board. Cut to pieces!

Only to attack, Richard and Burleigh had no choice.

It is becoming more and more difficult for Burleigh to play under such passing and coordination. As Mourinho said, they gave up what they shouldn't give up and insisted on what they shouldn't.

Judging from the scene, Burleigh seems to have the advantage, but in fact Burleigh is the one who consumes the most energy!

The midfielders are better. The two central defenders have become the biggest loophole in Li Cha's new tactics. They all do the work of driving the ball forward with big feet. They are not like Pique and Puyol. Passing technique.

A press by Parker made Vermaelen almost make a mistake. Fortunately, Vermaelen was used to defending. He directly gave Parker his back and made a strong return pass near the center circle, which relieved the crisis.

Li Cha was in a cold sweat, he was risking his life!

Just when Richard was worried, the team showed a surprising scene. After Redondo passed the ball again, Nasri lost Bridge's blockade, interspersed in the middle and kicked the ball far away hit the goal.

Facing the cold arrow, Cech is very calm, jumping high will support the crossbar and corner kick.

Redondo stood at the corner and took a deep breath before taking the corner. Di Natale didn't expect that Gallas in front of him would fall to the top. When the ball fell, he was obviously stunned for a moment. , Let the attacking Cech kick the ball with a big foot in front of him...

beep!

The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game. According to the rules of the League Cup, if the two teams score the same number of goals after 180 minutes of home and away games, they will enter overtime. The away team's goals do not have any advantage.

In the locker room, Li Cha said as short as possible: "You guys performed very well in the second half. In order to save everyone time to rest, I won't talk nonsense... In overtime, Chelsea will definitely press wildly. They will not enter the penalty kick with us. It's a big fight, Mourinho can't afford to lose that man! So, Nasri, you rest in overtime, Fellaini, you play with Fernando to form a double midfielder; Ashley, you stand in the forward position in the second half, Dina Talay will be behind you and then we play the counter-attack that we are all too familiar with. We have no substitutions left, lads, and Chelsea's fights in extra time are bound to be tougher, especially when we have the ball , They will definitely use all means to snatch the ball away. At this time, while trying not to get injured, the quick counterattack we have been using is the best way to break the enemy."

"The first point after stealing the ball, Redondo, remember, everyone must find Redondo first; Fernando, it's up to you next, if Ashley is not entangled by the opponent's defender, then everything is easy to say , long pass to Ashley, if he is entangled, give the ball to Di Natale, Di Natale is the second point, when Di Natale has the ball, the defenders behind Chelsea will definitely jump , Di Natale, don't be greedy for merit at this time, you must send the ball, because this is likely to help Ashley complete the lore, this lore can send us to the final!"

"Now, rest!"

……

When the extra time whistle blew, Mourinho replaced Carvalho with Gudjohnsen as Richard had guessed, so Chelsea resumed the 433 lineup, with Drogba occupying the front line; Johansen and Joe Cole separated on both sides; Lampard supported... There were Makelele and Parker intercepting behind, this formation was clearly set up to suppress Burleigh!

In 95 minutes, Joe Cole broke into the penalty area directly after taking the ball, and passed the ball to Drogba on the edge of the penalty area. .This kick shot extremely fast, but unfortunately, it missed a bit.

In 100 minutes, under Mourinho's loud roar, the whole Chelsea team pressed up. Terry and Gallas had already pressed to the top of the center circle, while Burleigh retreated collectively to defend, except for Ashley who was set at the front In addition, only Di Natale stood in a relatively forward position, but he kept harassing the Chelsea players who took the ball.Makelele lost the ball under constant harassment by Di Natale. Redondo stepped forward to cooperate with Di Natale's sao to start a siege and successfully steal the ball, and then passed the ball to Di Natale. For a moment, Di Natale thought of Richard's, he kicked the ball out almost at the same second... Unfortunately, Ashley was offside because Chelsea pressed too far forward.

In the 103rd minute, Gudjohnsen cleverly rushed into the penalty area from the wing, and was shoveled by Thiago Silva when he was about to shoot the goal. The Chelsea players surrounded the referee like crazy and complained non-stop. As a result, the referee showed Gudjohnsen a yellow card for diving.

In 105 minutes, before the end of the first half of extra time, Joe Cole almost killed Burleigh with a long shot. The sound of the football hitting the goalpost rang in the ears of all the fans like a nightmare...

113 minutes into the second half of extra time, another thrilling moment came. Lampard got the ball from the edge of the penalty area and sent the ball into the penalty area. Drogba almost squeezed Thiago Silva's body to hook the ball. At his own feet, however, he had no chance to make the goal. Schmeichel rushed out smartly, risking losing the ball and threw the ball away at the most critical second. Makelele's shot directly hit an anti-aircraft gun ...

In 122 minutes, Burleigh finally made a counterattack at the last moment with only two points in stoppage time. Redondo stole the ball and sent the ball with a long pass. Ashley was about to move forward but was pulled down by Gallas... red card!Gallas was sent off, but it didn't help. The whistle sounded for the whole game, and the penalty shootout had begun! !
