Midfielder.

Chapter 328

They beat Bayern Munich [-]-[-] in the away game, and Chelsea made strides into the semi-finals of the Champions League in a way that was so stable that it made people feel scary. During the whole process, they were as precise as a machine and never made a mistake.

Although Chelsea also reached the semi-finals last season under the leadership of Ranieri, the process of that time was like walking on thin ice. Since entering the knockout round, the team's performance has been unstable.

They even almost fell in the round of [-], but Lampard saved the team at the last moment, and also saved Ranieri, who was already in the crater at the time, but it was only saved for a while .

To be able to pass two hurdles and reach the semi-finals, the Chelsea team still has to rely on the blessings of others, not their own strength.

But don't forget that they spent hundreds of millions of euros last season, but in the end they didn't have a single championship.

Maybe it is due to the advantage of last season's dark horses in the Champions League. Anyway, many people think that Ranieri led Chelsea to the final semi-finals, mostly thanks to luck, not the real ability of the team.

If they met a team like Real Madrid in advance, maybe they would have been eliminated long ago, instead of being able to survive until the semi-finals before falling. The team led by Ranieri is like this, and it always makes people stop Worry.

Even if they can win, they are often worried about winning, and they don't feel happy at all.

And once there is trouble on the court, most of the time, it is still up to the players to handle everything by themselves. In many games, Ranieri's ability to control the team is not so good, even a bit weak.

It may be because of his character. Anyway, Ranieri has never been a tough guy. He likes to be a peacemaker, far more than he tells his players toughly that he is an omnipotent dictator.

Otherwise, they would not have been defeated by the Monaco team in the two rounds of the semi-final. You have to know how many Chelsea fans were waiting for Ranieri to lead the team to the final.

Originally in the final semi-finals list, Chelsea was definitely considered the richest. They didn't seem to have any reason to lose the game, but when everyone was optimistic, they lost just like that.

If there was anything wrong with Ranieri last season, it wasn't because he failed to lead the team to the league championship. He was kicked out of the coach's position. A large part of the reason was that he didn't seize the opportunity.

Originally, Abramovich could make his banknotes work miracles earlier, but when Chelsea was about to see the gate of the Champions League final, the team led by Ranieri suddenly began to become weak.

Especially in the match that was killed by the Monaco team at home, Abramovich, who was sitting in the VIP box, lost face in front of many friends, and the final result really annoyed the Russians.

Losing to a team like Monaco, you must know that someone once calculated that Chelsea may only need to come up with two or three main players, and their worth is enough for Abramovich to directly buy the Monaco team.

But it was such a team that defeated Chelsea in the end, and they completed the fatal blow at Stamford Bridge. Just under the noses of those fanatical fans, Monaco completed the score at the last moment.

Morientes also stepped on Chelsea to achieve his own Champions League miracle, although he also missed the championship in the end.

But because of the loss of that game, Ranieri had to leave Chelsea in the end. Although he took a check that was enough to make him comfortable when he left, he has been engraved with the mark of a loser.

There is no champion, this is the evaluation of Ranieri by many people. Although it is a bit harsh, this evaluation also points out Ranieri's weakness. Compared with Mourinho, the Italian does not have an iron fist.

He may be too indulgent with the players, so in the final stage of last season, some players did not obey the discipline, but Ranieri's handling method was indeed kept secret, trying to eliminate the influence within the team.

That's right, until the start of this season, many fans still miss that good old man in Italy, including Lampard and other players, but after Mourinho led them to conquer the Premier League powerfully, I am afraid that there is no such thing now. How many people remember what Ranieri did here, people, sometimes really forgetful.

Now almost everyone is used to Mourinho's iron-fisted army. Anyone who does not obey his command has no way out except to pack up his bedroll and prepare to leave. This is absolute dominance.

Different from the fearful promotion process of last season, from the moment Chelsea stepped into the knockout round this time, perhaps only their two games against Barcelona made many Chelsea fans worry, and they used their stable to the bone performance in the rest of the games Conquered everything, including against Bayern.

Perhaps many German fans still had the expectation of reversing their opponents at home before the start of the game, but many English media bet with their German counterparts before the second round that Chelsea would never capsize.

They are definitely not looking down on Bayern Munich's strength, but they believe in Mourinho's team more in this knockout match. Although the Portuguese is not on the sidelines, it has no effect on the result.

After being forged by Mourinho this season, Chelsea have now become a team of steel, expecting them to make mistakes?Even in the away game, they cannot easily fall into anyone's trap.

Maybe they will be a little passive on the scene, but during the game, these beasts are always adjusting themselves.

Just like the game between Chelsea and Barcelona, ​​the Chelsea team may have been passively beaten for a long time, but as long as they play a habitual counterattack in a timely manner, the opponent's end will come.

This was the case with the Bayern Munich game. One or two counterattacks were enough to make Kahn depressed.

In the first 10 minutes of the game, Chelsea handed over possession of the ball to their opponents, but about 80% of the ball possession rate failed to allow Bayern Munich to score a single goal. This is the most terrifying thing about Chelsea now. place.

Even if they only have [-]% of the ball possession rate, they can use the precise counterattack in the midfield to break your defense.

"Don't expect a moment of passion to destroy Chelsea. Their steel defenses and alloy-like nerves are not that fragile. If you want to expect them to destroy the Great Wall, I advise you to stop dreaming."

This is the English media's evaluation of Chelsea. Although this evaluation is a bit exaggerated, the whole description is not different. Really, don't expect Chelsea to collapse.

Especially the black-haired brat, as long as he is around, Chelsea's war machine will execute every order accurately, and Mourinho is the one who designed these orders, and Lin Yi is the implementer of the tactical arrangements.

Two direct assists at home, one away and a penalty created, what more could you ask of this kid?If he were more versatile, I don't know how many big-name defenders would burst into tears.

Many English media have been promoting Lin Yi. In their eyes, this black-haired kid is fully capable of competing for the European Ballon d'Or, except that his goals are slightly lower. Whether it is the ability to control the field or the ability to break through the opponent's defense, it can definitely be regarded as the best in the Premier League.

"Now the Premier League's best rookie is no longer thinking of others. It took Lin Yi almost half a season to conquer so picky fans and media reporters. If he is not the best in the Premier League, no one will be qualified to compete. This honor." At this time, many football commentators also took a clear stand on Lin Yi's side.

At least half of the guys here were still commenting before the start of the season, whether it was really worth it for Chelsea to spend 3000 million to buy this lucky kid, but now, no one is probably stupid enough to bring up that topic.

No one doubted that Lin Yi had the ability to change the course of the game. Moreover, as long as that kid was on the court, he seemed to be fully wound up. He never tires. 3000 million can buy such a treasure, and this deal is really worth it.

Otherwise, you can’t explain why Florentino is going to pay 5000 million euros to buy Lin Yi. Even if Lafayette is rich, he only buys players who are worth paying for. He can give Lin Yi such a fortune A nightly tale-like quotation, it is obvious that Lin Yi is in his heart, and now it is definitely worth this much money, or even more.

You know, even when Florentino bought Zidane, he had a bargaining process with Juventus, but on the issue of buying out Lin Yi, Florentino even said a long time ago, He never skimped on money.

As long as Chelsea can let people go, Lafayette, who always likes to break transfer records, absolutely doesn't care about spending more. Anyway, for him, as long as he can hold the championship in his arms, it doesn't matter how much money he spends.

What's more, in his opinion, Lin Yi's commercial value is far from fully developed. Relying on Real Madrid's famous brand effect, that kid will definitely be a living sign in terms of selling jerseys and attracting investors.

But this is just Lafayette's imagination, no matter how much he pays now, Lin Yi is not for sale to Chelsea, let alone whether Kenyon has thought about it, Abramovich himself cannot agree.

Champions League semi-final, this is the second time in recent years for Chelsea, after last season's depressed, this time they have become more experienced, likewise, they have become more aggressive .

No one wants to repeat what happened last season, no one can continue to play Monaco's role now, Juventus? NO.Liverpool?The same is NO.Chelsea don't care who the opponent is now, they just want to beat the opponent in two games, and then hold their heads high and go to Istanbul to play a decisive battle!
(The Bulls are terrible, but I feel that the Eagles were very lucky to win, especially the Eagle King's three-pointers, five of five shots, and two of them were considered bad luck. I don't know if they will be so lucky in the next game.)
