Chapter 113
"Little guy, you're scared, right?!" Captain Terry saw that Li Lei was a little nervous because it was his first time seeing such a scene, and said half-jokingly
"Captain, don't say anything nonsense, I am just enjoying the game" Li Lei refuted Terry with a smile
" Beautiful, that's a great point!" Terry gave Li Lei a thumbs up
"Hey, Lee, don't forget to pass the ball to me when you get on the court!" Torres took over and said
" Don't worry, brother!" Li Lei said straightforwardly.
Feeling the care of his teammates, Li Lei felt warm in his heart. As the youngest on the team, everyone took good care of him. As the game officially started, the fans in the audience became more and more excited, and the cheers in the stadium once again reached a new level
" This hasn't even reached the highest decibel record in history, the atmosphere here is really terrible" Li Lei thought to himself
" Stop daydreaming, it's time to go on stage! Everyone, cheer up! gogogo!" Captain Terry reminded everyone.
At Terry's call, Li Lei and other Blues players lined up from the player tunnel to the green field.
They were wearing blue uniforms like a group of hawks, about to shoot down their prey under this high pressure.
At this time, Gao Yi's live broadcast room was once again bustling, and many fans who followed Li Lei gathered here to watch the game together
" Dear fans, look, Li Lei is coming out of the player tunnel! Today our little Leo is still in the starting lineup.!" Gao Yi said excitedly
" Li Lei, come on!!"、"Looking forward to Li Lei's wonderful performance!"、""Little Leo will be popular"
The comments were full of support and cheers for Li Lei.
" Schalke's home court is very difficult, but I believe that with Li Lei, we will be able to open up the situation"
Gao Yi analyzed," He will definitely give us a surprise this time!"
" Li Lei's breakthrough ability is so strong that Schalke's defenders have to work hard!"
" Don't worry, our little Leo can definitely!"
"Damn! There are Japanese soldiers on the other side! Li Lei attacks him!"
" I'll treat you to a barbecue if Leo scores a goal!"
" Schalke's defense is about to collapse. No one can stop Li Lei's breakthrough.!"
" Brothers, Li Lei is the only one, he will definitely become the future king of football!"
Keane and Jones, the two old partners, appeared in front of the audience again in the Sky Sports live studio
"Dear viewers, welcome to the live broadcast room of Sky Sports. I am your good friend Keane."
"Today's Champions League group match is very important for Chelsea! Currently Schalke 04 has 2 wins and Chelsea has 1 win and 1 loss. The result of this match will directly determine the direction of the group ranking."
"Yes, as Keane said, if Chelsea want to compete for the top spot in the group, then this game must be won." Jones continued
"Let's take a look at the starting lineups of both teams."
Schalke 04 (4-3-3)
Goalkeeper: Giffel
Defenders: Itt, Sobotka, Matip, Uchida
Midfielders: Sane, Boateng, Draxler
Forwards: Choupo-Moting, Huntelaar, Obasi
Chelsea (4-2-3-1)
Goalkeeper: Petr Cech
Defenders: Ivanovic, Luiz, Cole, Terry
Midfielders: Ramires, Lampard, Li Lei, Mikel, Hazard
Forward: Torres
"Schalke 04 used their best 4-3-3 formation, with Giffel as the goalkeeper. The German goalkeeper had made many wonderful saves at critical moments."
"Let's take a look at the defensive line. The central defender combination of Iter and Sobotka is experienced. The two wing defenders Uchida and Matip are very fast and can effectively suppress the opponent's wing attack."
"The three midfielders form a team, Draxler is the core of the organization, Sane and Boateng are not only good at defense, but also can support the frontcourt attack."
"The front three of Choupo-Moting, Huntelaar and Obasi started together this time, and their cooperation will be the key to Schalke's victory."
"Chelsea also lined up their most familiar 4-2-3-1 formation, with experienced goalkeeper Cech as the team's main defender."
"In the central defender position, the performance of Ivanovic and Luiz will be crucial."
"The two wing defenders Terry and Cole must defend closely and not leave any gaps for the opponent. Moreover, Schalke 04 is good at defensive counterattacks, which will be a big challenge for them."
"The double midfielders Ramirez and Lampard will need to play an organizational and defensive role, while Li Lei will play a role in connecting the midfield and frontcourt."
"The cooperation of the front four will also determine Chelsea's offensive rhythm, especially Hazard must play a good role as the core of the organization."
"Striker Torres is in good form recently. If he can seize the scoring opportunities, it will also give Schalke's defense a headache.
"No matter from which aspect, the two sides are evenly matched in this game. Whoever can play a good team cooperation will win the final victory."
"Another focus of this game is the duel between two Asian stars."
"Schalke 04 defender Atsuto Uchida will face the challenge of Chelsea winger Li Lei. As fans of both countries, they not only hope their teams win, but also expect their own stars to shine on the field."
"There are a lot of national emotions involved! This is not just a competition between players, but also a showdown of national honor."
"Dear audience friends, the game begins!!!"
"We saw it! At the beginning of the game, Chelsea was like a tiger going out, launching a crazy attack on Schalke's half."
Lampard kicked the ball directly to Ramirez after the kick-off. As soon as Ramirez received the ball, Li Lei followed from the right to the left, forming a double-sided cooperation.
The cooperation of the two successfully broke through Schalke 04's side defense.
At this time, Torres and Hazard saw the opportunity and quickly advanced to the opponent's half. The four frontcourt players went deep at the same time, completely disrupting Schalke's defensive deployment.
At this moment, Schalke 04's defense line was on alert, and Uchida Atsuto was in a dilemma. He had to guard Li Lei and pay attention to Hazard's breakthrough.
With the continuous passing and cutting cooperation. , Chelsea's front four players were already approaching Schalke's penalty area.
Torres protected the ball with his back to goal and passed it back to Hazard.
He first used his delicate footwork to dribble past the defender, then used his left foot to shoot into the corner.
The speed and power of this shot were so great that Atsuto Uchida next to him had no time to block the shot with his body.
Just when everyone thought Hazard would definitely score, goalkeeper Giffel made an amazing save.
He pounced on the ball like a cat, caught the ball steadily with both hands, and then held the ball in his arms.
""Wow!"
The shocked Schalke 04 fans finally reacted and shouted like thunder.
Then there was warm applause, which was obviously for their own goalkeeper.
"Oops! It was too accurate." Keane said with regret in the live broadcast room of Space Sports.
"Yes! If the shot had been slightly off angle, it would have been hard for Giffel to save it!" Jones said with the same regret.
