Chapter 115

"Terry and Lampard's feints drew the defense away, and Hazard's kick was at a perfect angle and power, leaving Giffel helpless."

"The tacit cooperation between Chelsea players is fully demonstrated here, and their tactical execution ability is first-class"

"This free kick can be said to be their masterpiece of harvesting opponents, opening the scoring account through clever teamwork."

After Hazard scored, compared with the professional commentary of Sky Sports, the atmosphere in Gao Yi's live broadcast room was unusually joyful and warm.

When Gao Yi saw Li Lei's expression on the screen, he said happily:" Hiahiahia~Did you see, my Leilei was so confused when his teammates pretended to be dead! It's so cute!"

"The design of this goal was so brilliant. The captain and Lanlan's fake moves were so deceptive that even our Leilei was dumbfounded! But this also shows how strong the tacit understanding of the Blues is.!"

"1:0 ahead, our Blues must maintain this advantage! Lei Lei will definitely have more wonderful performances in the future, let us continue to cheer and support them.!"

"Wow~ The Blues will win!"

Li Lei looked at his teammates who were still happily celebrating the goal, and from time to time his teammates hugged and high-fived him!

At this time, he went to Captain Terry with a face full of resentment to argue:"Captain, you are too unfair! You didn't tell me clearly in advance and just fooled me!"

Terry laughed and said:"Don't get excited, the important thing is that the ball went in, right? This is a tactical cooperation within the team, not aimed at you alone. The most important thing is that everyone cooperates to get the ball into the net."

Li Lei thought about it and said:"That's right, but don't always tease me! If the opponent knows that we are not united internally, wouldn't it be exposed?"

Terry quickly patted Li Lei on the shoulder:"Okay, okay, we didn't think it through, you make sense"

"I will tell you in advance before the next execution, okay?"

Li Lei said with a smile:"There will be a next time! No problem! The captain is the best! But I won't be fooled again."

After the game continued, Chelsea gradually controlled the rhythm of the game and the situation on the field.

After scoring, they began to focus on keeping the ball and consuming time through passing and controlling.

At the same time, Chelsea's defense became tighter, limiting Schalke's counterattack.

Schalke 04 adjusted its strategy and would rather give up possession of the ball and concentrate on defense.

They organized two tight defensive areas in their own half and cut off Chelsea's passing line.

In the game between the two sides, the score of the first half was fixed at 1:0. Although Chelsea had the advantage, it failed to score again.

On the way back to the locker room, Li Lei listened to his teammates discussing the highlights of the first half, and he was still a little depressed.

His teammates first praised Hazard's wonderful goal:"The free kick design is so perfect!"

Then they mentioned Terry's heroic rescue at the beginning of the defense:"It really scared us! If it weren't for Captain Terry, we would have lost the ball."

Although Li Lei knew intellectually that the free kick scam was the result of teamwork, he was still unsure and felt that his contribution was not enough.

During the halftime break, head coach Mourinho said to the players:"Gentlemen, please maintain the competitive state of the first half. I will not adjust any starting lineup in the halftime."

"Let's keep up the momentum in the second half and launch a more violent blue storm.!"

"We need to have more possession of the ball, pass the ball faster, and break the opponent's defense. At the same time, we must keep the defense focused and cut off all their counterattacks."

"We formulated a perfect strategy before the game and executed it well in the first half. In the second half, I hope to see the same confidence and determination, and not slack off.!"

"Victory is just around the corner. Keep going and try to score more goals. I know that as long as we are united, there will be no problem in winning.!"

"Let's fight for the glory of Chelsea! Go ahead, Blues!"

After the halftime break, inspired by Mourinho, Chelsea players returned to the field with high morale.

A short 15-minute break was indeed too hasty for the players who played the whole first half, but Mourinho's words inspired everyone like a stimulant.

With the referee's whistle, the two teams exchanged venues and the second half of the game began again.

Chelsea players returned to the field with vigorous steps, their eyes revealing determination and confidence.

In contrast, Schalke's players looked a little tired, and the shouts around the stadium made them breathless, which made the status of the two teams in sharp contrast.

The game entered the second half, and the leading Chelsea adopted a more conservative tactic.

They slowed down the pace while in possession of the ball, adopted more passing and controlling play, and did not press too aggressively on defense.

The entire formation was rather scattered, but the players in each position were relatively calm, without obvious panic.

They controlled and dribbled the ball calmly, without rushing to get the ball into the front court. This more comfortable state came from the support of the lead in the score.

Chelsea now hopes to maintain its advantage through a steady and solid tactic, rather than rushing forward and desperately widening the score difference.

In the 55th minute of the game, Schalke 04 players began to look a little anxious and worried.

Facing Chelsea's steady and solid possession tactics, they could basically only passively defend. It was difficult to touch the ball.

The ball kept flowing under Chelsea's feet, and they could only watch it pass back and forth.

Even if Chelsea's attack was occasionally blocked, they would quickly pass the ball back to the defense and reorganize the attack. Schalke could not find any chance to grab the ball.

Time passed by, and the score did not change. This made Schalke's players anxious, and their positions on the field began to move away.

Chelsea's tactical effect was obvious. Schalke's midfielders and frontcourt players were no longer satisfied with just defending, and began to try to take the initiative to attack.

This gave Chelsea a chance, so in the 61st minute, Chelsea finally started their quick counterattack.

Lampard, who had been playing steadily, suddenly broke out at this time and made a straight pass. The ball was sent into the right front court.

Li Lei, who was there, took advantage of the fact that Schalke

's defense had no time to return to its position, and quickly rushed into the opponent's hinterland with the ball. The sudden attack made Schalke's defense line extremely chaotic, and they had to follow Chelsea's players to retreat to their own penalty area.

At this time, Li Lei was running fast with all his strength. Just as he was about to enter the penalty area, Schalke defender Atsuto Uchida stepped forward to block him again.

This time he obviously remembered the lesson from the last time and did not dare to kick casually.

At this time, Li Lei did not even look at the opponent and kicked the ball directly to the middle, because Torres had already occupied a good position at this time.

Torres had already occupied the best position in front of the empty goal, and Li Lei's long pass found him accurately.

"Wow! Beautiful! Overhead kick! Torres hit the ball into the goal again with a overhead kick!"

"2:0, Chelsea expanded the score in the 65th minute of the second half, which was really a bolt from the blue for Schalke 04."

Gao Yi shouted excitedly in his live broadcast room:"The one who gave him the assist was our Li Lei! From the duel with the Japanese, it is obvious that Li Lei is stronger!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! Beautiful! This ball is simply a golden hook, so exciting!!"

"Torres's shot was perfect in terms of power and angle, and Giffel was powerless to save the situation.!"

"The key assist was our Lei Lei! Facing the Japanese Uchida's persistent attack, he calmly passed the ball and perfectly released his teammates. In this confrontation, Lei Lei was better and crushed his opponent with strength.!"

"��Leilei has a stable output and is becoming more and more mature! Come and give him a thumbs up!"

"It’s so stable! It’s really awesome!"
