180: Never let the League Cup champion fall by the wayside?

Substitutions, Mourinho made substitutions at the beginning of the second half.

He was replaced by Azpilicueta, who was injured and has not yet fully recovered from his injury.

He couldn't stand Felipe Luis anymore.

Lewis, who was sitting on the bench, looked very ugly, but there was nothing he could do. In this game, he really performed very poorly. Whether he was on the left or switched to the right, he performed very poorly. ??

Yes, the two full-backs in Chelsea's defense often change positions.

It's a pity that whether facing Mane or Salah, Louis seems a little irritable.

This puts Chelsea into a passive position in this round of competition.

Trailing 0-2 at halftime.

To be honest, Mourinho didn't expect this.

Naturally, he did not dare to continue putting Lewis on the court, so he had to make substitutions.

I hope Azpilicueta will not disappoint him.

The second half of the game had just begun. Chelsea launched a ferocious attack. After passing the ball continuously from the wing, the football came to the feet of Azpilicueta who was advancing.

Azpilicueta immediately swung his legs to pass the high ball, but instead swept the football close to the turf toward the center.

In the penalty area, Van Dijk and Laporte reacted quickly, but Costa reacted faster.

Costa slid forward directly and tackled the rolling football.

He scooped up the football first and shot it directly towards the Crystal Palace goal.

Danger.

The football shot towards the Crystal Palace goal at high speed, and Edward sided over but did not touch the football.

clang!

The football hit the outside of the goal post hard and bounced off the baseline.

The Chelsea people were not very lucky and the ball missed.

oops!

The Chelsea fans at the scene sighed with Mourinho and were filled with regret.

To be honest, this opportunity is really good, but it's a pity that it's just a bit of luck.

It seemed that the substitution was correct, and Mourinho was relieved. He hoped that the Chelsea people would continue to play like this. Then Chelsea will still have a chance to compete with Crystal Palace in this game.

When the game restarted, Crystal Palace obviously increased the intensity of their high-pressure, which made it more difficult for Chelsea to pass through the midfield. The game suddenly became very tense. The two sides engaged in a long-term and high-intensity confrontation in the middle of the stadium, so that people often turned upside down on the scene.

This competition looks very fierce, but it is not exciting enough!

The two teams almost didn't have any great opportunities during this period. Instead, they focused all their attention on the midfield struggle.

Seeing this, Mourinho frowned. This is something he didn't want to see.

.

After all, they are now two goals behind. If they continue to struggle in the midfield, when can they equalize the score?

Now the Crystal Palace people are definitely very happy to spend time in the midfield. As long as they don't threaten their team, the Crystal Palace people can do anything.

In fact, struggling in the midfield confrontation is Tong Yi's tactical purpose.

Therefore, Mourinho immediately made adjustments.

He had to prevent his players from consuming too much physical energy and wasting time in the midfield. Therefore, he signaled the Chelsea players to make long passes from the backcourt as far as possible to find Costa in front. Then use Costa as the fulcrum to attack, allowing Hazard and Cuadrado to attack around Costa.

Even Cesc Fabregas and Oscar followed suit.

Therefore, the Chelsea people are somewhat leaving the field open, fully deploying their forces at two extremes.

Some people defend in the backcourt, and some go to the frontcourt to attack.

The midfield will be vacated for you.

What about you Crystal Palace people? If you continue to press high, almost all your players will have to press close to Chelsea's penalty area. What about your backcourt defense?

If you Crystal Palace people don't press forward and are all gathered in the backcourt, then Chelsea's defensive players can boldly press forward and get closer to your Crystal Palace penalty area.

Therefore, Mourinho's adjustment is to throw the problem to Tong Yi.

After Tong Yi saw Mourinho's adjustment, he raised his eyebrows slightly and made adjustments.

The Crystal Palace frontcourt is still pressuring Chelsea's waiting players from a high position, making these Chelsea players in the backcourt less likely to pass long balls forward easily. In this case, the offensive players Chelsea swarmed into the frontcourt were not a threat and there was no need to pay attention to them at all.

If, at this time, the Crystal Palace people press and steal the ball in the frontcourt, they will be more likely to launch a threatening counterattack.

Therefore, Tong Yi still signaled the Crystal Palace players to press forward.

Seeing this, Mourinho frowned. He really didn't expect this guy Tong Yi to be so radical. Crystal Palace already had a two-goal lead, and they were still pressing so high, investing so many troops in the frontcourt to actively press high.

This Tong Yi is really a lunatic.

With a bang, Chelsea's backcourt forced a long pass to find Costa in front. But as soon as the football flew out, Ignacio blocked it with his body, and the football immediately bounced in front of Salah.

Salah immediately held the ball and looked at Zuma in front of him. Suddenly he pretended to change direction to the left, then quickly spiked the ball to the right and passed Zuma directly. Zuma's center of gravity was deceived and he had no time to turn, so he had to immediately

That is, he pulled Salah hard from behind and knocked Salah to the ground.

Yes, it was a foul. Zuma used the foul to stop Salah's attack.

At this time, if he did not foul, Salah would go directly into the penalty area and face Courtois.

If this were not a foul, Chelsea would be doomed!

Mourinho on the sidelines not only did not complain about Zuma, but also gave Zuma a thumbs up, indicating that his response was quick and timely. If it were later, the ball would be dangerous.

Taylor still blew the whistle for a foul and showed Zouma a yellow card.

The Chelsea people were really embarrassed in this game!

It is because of a slight mistake in Louis' position that they are so passive now. No wonder Mourinho was so angry just now. He really lost everything with one careless move! ??

Chelsea still have a chance now, but the chance is slim.

Haven't you seen how well the Crystal Palace people are playing now? Chelsea didn't give them too many opportunities at all.

This is a strong team!

However, even so, neither Mourinho nor Chelsea gave up!

He does not believe that Crystal Palace can continue to be so strong. There will always be a nap in this game. As long as they, Chelsea, seize the time and opportunity when the opponent is taking a nap, they, Chelsea, may still be able to reverse the situation.

Therefore, Mourinho still sits firmly on the Diaoyutai.

He stood quietly on the sidelines, called Fabregas beside him, and gave him instructions.

Fabregas looked at the Crystal Palace backcourt and nodded from time to time. I wonder what tricks Mourinho gave him?

At this time, De Bruyne, Mane and Paulinho were all standing in front of the football.

The battle is huge!

Courtois in front of the goal felt a lot of pressure. These guys all have good shots and free kicks. Especially for this guy Paulinho, Courtois is really not sure what kind of kick this guy will use and what kind of shot he will take?

However, Courtois still directed the defense very seriously to prevent the opponent from possible shooting angles.

beep!

At this moment, Taylor blew the whistle for the free throw.

Then Paulinho in front of the football quickly ran over the football and quickly inserted into the penalty area.

Behind Paulinho, Mane took a slow and leisurely approach. When he came to the football, he suddenly swung his legs and gently pushed the football towards him. Then De Bruyne sprinted out from behind Mane and towards the ball.

Danger, this is a tactical free kick!

The Chelsea defenders in the penalty area were shocked. They immediately rushed out and rushed madly in front of the football, preparing to use their own

He used his body to block De Bruyne's heavy long-range shot.

Chelsea's defensive players all looked at death as they gritted their teeth and rushed towards the football.

De Bruyne came very quickly and very fiercely. He looked like he was about to bombard the door directly. Chelsea's players naturally had to risk their lives and use their bodies to block the bullet holes.

Some people even rushed out, jumped up and jumped towards De Bruyne.

However, to everyone's surprise, De Bruyne, who rushed up quickly, did not take a long shot at all, but directly pushed the football into Chelsea's penalty area.

The football unexpectedly rolled unimpeded to the feet of Paulinho who moved forward into the gap.

Courtois was shocked in front of the goal. He immediately struck out and quickly pounced on Paulinho in the penalty area.

Paulinho did not stop the ball, but pushed the ball directly to the far lower corner of the goal.

Although Paulinho didn't use too much force, he borrowed the power of De Bruyne's through ball, so the ball was still very fast and quickly passed in front of Courtois' outstretched legs to intercept. Rolled over, then rolled straight towards the lower corner of the far goal.

"Beautiful! Beautiful free kick! Crystal Palace expanded the score again and changed the score to 3-0! There is almost no suspense in this game. Crystal Palace will win the 2014-2015 English League Cup! This is their Won this tournament for three consecutive years. Tong Yi from China is really amazing, he is the most powerful legendary godfather in the Premier League!" At this time, Mortensen started to flatter Tong Yi.

Everyone in Chelsea was silent!

Is the gap between Chelsea and Crystal Palace so big now?

There are more than 20 minutes left in the game, and Chelsea are actually three goals behind. Is this game still worth playing? Do they, Chelsea, still have a chance?

Mourinho's face on the sidelines was gloomy, and he no longer had the calmness he had before.

This game was really beyond his expectation. He did not expect that the game would progress like this. The Crystal Palace people are in very good shape today and have good luck. Of course, the most important thing is that Chelsea made their own mistakes. If it weren't for Luiz's mistakes in the first half, the game would never have gone like this.

Mourinho immediately turned his head and looked at the Crystal Palace goal. I wonder what he was thinking?

"There are only about 20 minutes left in the game. I think Chelsea has no chance. Crystal Palace will definitely win this game. David is really amazing. He never lets the League Cup go. Let’s lose the championship, that’s great!” Shearer was still the most loyal Tong Chui, and started bragging crazily at this time.

However, two minutes later, the faces of Shearer and the Crystal Palace people became solemn.

The test of Crystal Palace is coming!
