When Mallorca scored the second goal, Chelsea fans seemed to hear the sound of something falling from the sky. It was their hope. It fell from the sky with a "bang" and shattered into pieces. Thousands of pieces.
After only a quarter of the two-round confrontation, they were two goals behind, and they were still at their home court. Even if their team could fight back and equalize the score, the score of 2-2 at home would be enough to Chelsea are at an absolute disadvantage
When did Chelsea play like this when facing other teams? Even when facing Mallorca, Chelsea has never been in this situation since Mourinho took office. In the 2005 season, they defeated Mallorca 1-1 away from home and 2-1 at home. In the 2005-06 season, although they lost in the first round of the knockout round They were eliminated by Mallorca, but they were almost eliminated until sparks flew in the end. In the 0607 season, they met in the group stage. Although Chelsea was second in the group, in the two rounds of the confrontation, it was a home game. Zero had the upper hand 1 to 2 in the away game
Especially at home, Chelsea has never lost to Mallorca under the leadership of Mourinho! It can be said that among all the stadiums on the European continent, it is the only one that is most difficult for Mallorca to capture!
But what about now? Just after that, Chelsea fell behind Mallorca by two goals at home! Although Chelsea's performance in the previous games was still very good, this situation was enough to wipe out any goodwill Chelsea fans had towards Grant!
When the halftime whistle sounded, Chelsea fans rarely booed. They were not targeting the players, but poor Grant
This made the atmosphere in Chelsea's locker room become very dull during the halftime break. The players were breathing heavily. They had tried their best in the first half, but now even they seemed to have no hope. .
"We have tried our best, that's fine. Anyway, if we lose the game, we can't be blamed for not trying our best."
Almost all the players were thinking this, which made the atmosphere in the locker room even more dull. Grant tried hard to explain the tactics of the second half, but he talked a lot and all he saw were Chelsea players. That lifeless face, that expression of indifference.
In this case, Grant suddenly.
He slapped the tactical board fiercely, and the loud noise made all the Chelsea players who were thinking about something raised their heads in shock, and then looked at the interim head coach who had always been angry.
"What are you in a daze? Do you know the current situation? We are already behind! At our home court! We are not behind by one goal, but by two! Do you know two? Do you know what it means to be behind by two goals? ? Even if we can score three in the second half, it will put us in a difficult situation on the road! Now facing this situation, can you show me something that can change!"
Grant waved his arms, blushed, and shouted loudly. This look was something Chelsea players had never seen before. Unlike Mourinho, Grant rarely spoke loudly in the locker room
"I know you all miss that person! You also think I squeezed him away! But do I have the ability? Can I get rid of him if I say I get rid of him? ***Forget it, that's not true. Having said that, I never expected you to fight for me! Because you are Chelsea players. If you have to fight, you are also fighting for yourself and for Chelsea! Now we are two goals behind. If we don¡¯t make changes, We will be behind by four or five goals in the second half! We will suffer an unprecedented rout in two rounds! Do you think that will embarrass me? It will be Chelsea as a whole that will be embarrassed!"
After roaring for a period of time, Grant suddenly softened like a deflated rubber ball: "Okay, let's not talk about it I just want to tell you that this game has nothing to do with anything else. It's about whether Chelsea can reach the final, that's it, nothing else."
"Let's go, people, 42,000 Chelsea fans are watching you." These were the last words Grant said in the Chelsea dressing room.
*******************************************
After the start of the second half, Grant used up one substitution. Malouda replaced the underperforming teenager Kalou to increase the impact on the wing, but Jose did not make a substitution. Now the two-goal lead is very good. Just wait and see what happens.
Maybe Grant¡¯s venting in the locker room played a role. After the start of the second half, Chelsea¡¯s players began to launch a crazy counterattack. Just as Grant said??, now they are not playing for Grant, but for themselves and for Chelsea!
Facing Chelsea¡¯s fierce counterattack, Mallorca began to calmly recycle its formation, and then prepared to use defensive counterattacks to deal with Chelsea
Since we are already two goals ahead, if we don¡¯t take advantage of this advantage, it will be in vain.
However, Chelsea seems to be really firing now. They are starting to attack like crazy. At the same time, they are actively returning to defense when defending, focusing on several key counterattack players in Mallorca. Even if it is a foul, they must do it at all costs. Control Mallorca's counterattack, try to get a point back first, and then find a chance to win.
"The fighting spirit of these guys seems to be slowly recovering again"
This situation made Jose a little surprised. He originally wanted to change to increase the speed in the counterattack, but after seeing Henry and Klose being knocked down by Chelsea defenders in the counterattack, he gave up this idea. I think Ronaldo is relatively fragile now. If he is injured at this time, it will not be worthwhile. It is not that Mallorca cannot afford to lose Ronaldo now, but that Jose does not want Ronaldo to leave Mallorca while lying on the hospital bed
But Jose is not very worried. After all, the advantage of two goals is real. So what if Chelsea pulls one back? Jose doesn't believe that with Chelsea's current crazy offensive tactics, Mallorca didn't seize a chance in the entire second half
??Besides, even if no goals are scored, the advantage of two goals is real.
Now Chelsea's ability to attack is not as good as before. What's left is nothing more than Drogba's grabbing points and Lampard's long-range shots. Without Robben's nerve-like long-range shots after breaking through the wing and cutting inside, Malo Cards are not without too much confidence in being able to withstand Chelsea's fierce attack.
So in the next game, amidst Chelsea's fierce offensive, Mallorca began to launch a methodical defense, focusing on his old Drogba, sweeping at the front of the penalty area, Ballack retreated to focus on Lampard, The two full-backs guard the edge of the penalty area, and all counterattacks are handed over to the trident in the frontcourt. Klose is the beacon, and Henry and Kak¨¢ are ready to respond at any time. They are like three sharp knives, threatening Chelsea's abdomen at any time!
In the 64th minute, Chelsea finally scored after a fierce attack. Malouda, who came on as a substitute, took the ball from the wing and forced a break through Riise's defense. Then he made a pass from the wing and fell to the ground to tackle the ball. Unable to intercept the ball, Drogba fell to the ground and tackled the ball decisively before Matias could make a defensive move. The ball flew directly into the goal. One to two, Chelsea equalized!
However, after fifteen minutes, Mallorca's fierce counterattack almost made Chelsea desperate!
After Henry received the ball, he broke into the penalty area and shot, but Cech saved the baseline. Then he took a corner kick himself. Cech struck and knocked the ball out of the penalty area. Maicon, who was inserted on the right, volleyed directly against the falling ball, and the ball drew a line. The arc went straight into the blind corner and entered the net. Three to one, Mallorca once again expanded its lead!
After seeing the third goal, Jose laughed. Of course he knew that with this goal, the game was basically decided, and the entire semi-final was almost decided. Mallorca entered for the third consecutive year. There is no longer much suspense in the Champions League final!
After scoring the third goal, Jose began to make substitutions. He replaced Klose with Silva. Henry returned to the center position. Mallorca's counterattack trident began to become faster. , better at counterattack
Chelsea fans were completely silent now. Conceding three goals at home How long has it been since Chelsea? With Mourinho gone, Chelsea will usher in a new era, but they don't know whether this era will be light or dark, let alone what will be waiting for them in the future
However, Chelsea's players still did not give up, even though they knew that Chelsea was basically out of luck before the first game of this semi-final was played. However, they continued to attack and tried their best to finish the rest. The final game.
Inspired by their attack, Chelsea fans gradually regained their vitality and began to continue shouting and singing in the stands to cheer for their team.
Encouraged by this, Chelsea's players finally got one point back in stoppage time. Mathias knocked down Drogba who was dribbling the ball at the edge of the penalty area and was awarded a penalty kick. There was some controversy, but the referee insisted on his decision. Lampard withstood the pressure and scored the penalty kick, once again saving Chelsea's glimmer of hope!
Although a 2-3 home defeat will make them very passive in the second round, it is still much better than falling behind by two goals.
Such a goal also made Chelsea excited.Feeling refreshed, they began to continue to attack, hoping to win a draw as much as possible. However, under this situation, they began to ignore the defense even more, so that in the third minute of stoppage time, after Chelsea failed to attack, they were Mallorca launched a lightning-quick counterattack!
Malouda's cross was deflected by Pepe. After unloading the ball, Alonso quickly passed the ball straight. Kaka divided the ball and then rushed up at high speed. Silva dribbled the ball quickly from the wing and then quickly After a cross pass, Kaka suddenly took a long shot from the top of the penalty area after receiving the ball!
The ball drew an arc in the air and flew straight to the upper left corner of the goal. Cech flew into the air, stretched his arm in the air, and the next moment the ball hit his hand, then bounced upwards, and still plunged into Chelsea. goal!
Four to two! Mallorca's counterattack once again pushed Chelsea into the abyss!
Although Chelsea performed so tenaciously in the second half, they still could not reduce the disadvantage they faced against Mallorca in the first half. Mallorca, which beat Chelsea 4-2 away from home, almost qualified early!
