NOVEL WEB Chapter 170 (page 12)
Chelsea penalty area
Essien stood up and then pulled Terry up and patted his butt apologetically, making Terry feel quite embarrassed. After all, it was he who knocked down Essien, not Essien who hit him.
The reason why Essien felt apologetic was because he failed to hold Xia Qi back. It was so embarrassing that he didn't even commit a foul.
A depressed Essien threw the "rag strip" in his hand out of the stadium.
Cech put his hands on his hips and looked into the distance with empty eyes...
Other Chelsea players also looked depressed and at a loss.
on the network,
[Wow, Xia Qi, what a goal! He was so domineering that Essien even resorted to foul tactics. 】
[Essien, Terry, and Cech looked confused. This goal was a huge blow to Chelsea’s morale. 】
[I feel sorry for the Blue Army. I finally saw an opportunity to tie the game, and in a blink of an eye I was back before liberation. 】
[An unreasonable goal, Drogba's body + Inzaghi's movement + Van Basten's shooting skills, even Buffon and Kahn have to kneel in goal! 】
...
...
After the game started again, Chelsea's morale was obviously affected by this conceded goal.
The most intuitive reaction was that they began to double-team Xia Qi.
Double-teaming Xia Qi can indeed limit his activity, but the pressure on other Arsenal players has suddenly been reduced.
Under such ebb and flow, Arsenal players began to take control of the game. Not only did Chelsea fall behind, the situation was also quite embarrassing.
The live broadcast camera seized the opportunity to give a close-up of Mourinho on the sidelines, and his face was full of solemnity.
Then he gave a close-up of Chelsea owner Abramovich in the box.
The most outstanding owner in the history of Chelsea looked calm, and it was difficult to guess his mood at the moment. However, when he found himself appearing on the LED screen at the scene, he showed an expression that looked worse than crying, revealing his mood at this moment.
Chelsea fans saw their boss appear in the camera, and the Stamford Bridge stadium burst into warm cheers...
Chelsea's phoenix rebirth started with Abramovich on the screen, and the fans still recognize him very much.
Abramovich's appearance gave Chelsea players motivation, and it seemed that it also gave Xia Qi motivation.
Xia Qi's running range in the frontcourt was wider than in the first half. Terry, who was guarding him, really wanted to grab him and ask:
That's my boss, why are you so excited?
Then he thought that Xia Qi had been promoted to captain by Arsenal, and he seemed to understand something again.
Xia Qi doesn't know about Xiao Jiujiu in Terry's heart, otherwise he would have scolded him and told the truth, purely because this is my first game...
Terry and Essien are both excellent defensive players. Even though Xia Qi's running range has expanded, he still did not miss a chance.
Xia Qi felt like a headless fly, but he had no other choice. If he wanted to be "happy", he still had to keep running.
Opportunities come out of nowhere,
It's not okay to just sit back and wait.
Suddenly,
The stands at Stamford Bridge suddenly erupted into huge cheers as Essien and Terry teamed up to steal the football from Xia Qi's feet.
Seeing Xia Qi getting up from the ground in a slightly embarrassed manner, the Chelsea fans cheered.
Xia Qi spat angrily and chased the football without giving up.
The football was passed to Mikel by Essien, and Mikel passed the ball to the frontcourt before Xia Qi counterattacked.
The football was in the air, heading straight for Arsenal's penalty area.
Under the football, Torres was flying on the ground.
Behind the Zonda is Mertesacker, who is chasing after him.
In front of the Zonda is Mertesacker's partner Umtiti.
Speed has always been accompanied by passion!
Abu rushed out of the VIP box, rushed to the balcony and transformed into a disciple of the Holy Infant, pumping his fists and shouting,
Fans from both sides in the stands frantically called for their own players.
Mourinho and Wenger, the rivals on the pitch, each stood up from their seats in shock.
on the field,
The speeding Torres is like Xiaomi Su7's zero-hundred acceleration, but Umtiti cannot achieve zero-hundred acceleration, helplessly letting the latecomers take the lead.
The two were neck and neck.
Torres was not content to walk side by side with Umtiti, he hit Umtiti hard while they were side by side.
Umtiti did not expect that such a sunny big boy could be so mean. He stumbled off guard and gave the football to Torres.
Seize the opportunity,
Torres did not dare to delay at all.
Facing the falling football, he raised his leg and volleyed,
The football drew a rainbow, passing through the fingers of Arsenal goalkeeper Martinez and falling into the net.
2: 3!
Torres scored twice, once again igniting Chelsea's hopes of tying the score.
"Torres scored the second goal! It was really a great game. It is now the 82nd minute of the game and the game is full of suspense again."
on the field,
Torres watched the football hit the net, feeling a surge of ecstasy in his heart, as hot as a volcano erupting.
His eyes were shining with excitement, and his face was filled with an uncontrollable smile. He stood there and opened his arms to embrace the world...
At that moment, he seemed to be in a dream, enjoying this glorious moment that belonged to him.
At this moment, he seemed to be back at Anfield.
Mourinho stood on the sidelines, waving his arms excitedly.
His heart was filled with pride and satisfaction. This goal was the best reward for his tactical arrangements.
The fans went crazy, cheering Torres' name at the top of their lungs.
Every shout conveys endless joy and desire for victory.
Abu was on the balcony, his face flushed with excitement, and his palms turned red.
Mourinho waved his hand to stop the players from continuing to celebrate. He pointed to his watch and signaled the players not to waste time and quickly recover the score.
On the opposite side, Wenger took action!
Vermaelen, a veteran, replaced Umtiti, whose mentality had collapsed, while Gnabry, who performed poorly, was replaced by Arteta.
The game continues!
Arsenal kicks off!
De Bruyne did not immediately launch an attack. After all, the score was still ahead at the moment. It was Chelsea, whose morale was high, who should be anxious.
De Bruyne, Arteta and others were sneaking around in the backcourt, waiting for the forwards to get opportunities in the frontcourt.
In the frontcourt, Xia Qi once again fell into the opponent's double-team.
As long as he gets even slightly closer to Chelsea's penalty area, he will trigger the opponent's alarm. Essien and Terry will then double-team him, giving him no room to catch the ball.
After hitting the south wall again and again, Xia Qi learned to think, and he began to retreat to catch the ball.
As a central defender, Terry could not retreat with Xia Qi. After all, there was Balotelli on the other side. Essien followed Xia Qi like a shadow.
Xia Qi retreated to get the ball. The moment he caught the ball, Essien extended his legs to poke him with lightning speed.
