Chapter 332 : There is still suspense in the game?

When De Bruyne scored the goal, the little time left in the first half became garbage time.After Southampton's celebration ended, the fourth official played a stoppage time sign.

During the intermission, Charlotte's substitution was studied over and over again by various commentators.Because this goal was scored by the newcomer De Bruyne, Charlotte's "God Adjustment" succeeded again.

It’s just that everyone is surprised that even with the previous lineup and this tactic, the goal is easy to score.The only difference is that it was Sturridge who sent the last pass, and it was Aubameyang who stood in position and shot.

So the question is, why do you have to replace Sturridge with De Bruyne? !
In response to this problem, everyone has repeatedly studied, but they have not found a reason.Some people even jokingly said, is it because Charlotte likes to see Chelsea players break Chelsea's goal, so he deliberately replaced De Bruyne to disgust the opponent?
Many people couldn't understand Charlotte's substitution.But there is a problem that everyone understands, that is, the possibility that Chelsea, who are two goals behind, want to win the Europa League is not high.

Although the Saints this season have not been as stable as dogs, and there have been many games where the opponent was behind by two goals, but they have never led by two goals and then been successfully counterattacked by the opponent.

Everyone knows this, even the owner of Chelsea Abramovich, who watched the game in the VIP box, understands it, just look at his stern face.

During the intermission, the Southampton fans who came to Amsterdam to watch the game sang in unison: "Triple Crown! Triple Crown! Triple Crown!!"

Charlotte did not adjust the lineup. In the locker room, he just told the players to stabilize the current situation. Chelsea must be desperate in the second half, so be careful.

Sure enough, Benitez made adjustments to the lineup at the beginning of the second half. Forward Den Baba replaced the Nigerian midfielder Mikel who had received a yellow card.

Seeing this substitution, Charlotte was not worried.What Chelsea currently relies on most is their midfield hardness, but after Benitez removed his black and hard defensive midfielder, can Chelsea defend Southampton?

But Charlotte obviously thought too much, and Benitez had given up on the issue of defense at all.The defense was so good in the first half that the opponent scored two goals, so in the second half he planned to press out and attack directly.

Chelsea's attack did cause some trouble for Southampton in the second half too, Den Baba's shot was saved by ter Stegen, and Juan Mata sent a high-quality pass later, but it was a pity that Torres followed up and wasted This instant biography from my hometown.

Hazard was also very active on the wing. Carvajal was dizzy with continuous dribbling and fake moves. As a last resort, he could only defend the opponent through foul tactics, for which he paid a yellow card. the price.

The game came to No. 60 minutes, and Charlotte also started to make substitutions.He could see that Carvajal was already struggling a bit, after all Hazard was indeed as active as a "flea".Carvajal, who consumes a lot of energy, can't keep up with the Belgian. The most important thing is that he already has a yellow card. When people are tired, their bodies can't keep up, and their skills are easy to deform, so it is easier than usual. draw.

Charlotte changed two people in a row. Wanyama's physical fitness can reach the end of 10 minutes. Even if he is unlucky and overtime is not a big problem.And his problem is the yellow card on his body. Now Chelsea's offense is a bit desperate. The defense of the midfield is very important. When necessary, foul tactics need to be used directly. One person was sent off.

Chambers replaced Carvajal and Pogba replaced Wanyama.

Both are young people, but they have played a lot in the Premier League and cup games this season, especially Pogba is already the third choice in the midfield besides Schneiderlin and Wanyama.

When Chambers came on the court, Charlotte had a special explanation, so that the young England player should not go forward and concentrate on staying in the backcourt to defend.

"Charlotte began to make substitution adjustments, and changed two people in one go. This should be for defense. Although it was a match-up substitution, it was replaced by a fresh force with plenty of energy. By the way, the yellow card player was also replaced. Yes. It seems that Chelsea's offense in the second half still brought him some pressure, but now that Southampton has two goals in hand, he can completely strengthen his defense with peace of mind."

Pogba and Chambers had just played for less than 3 minutes, and the situation on the field changed.Juan Mata met Danny Rose on the wing. The Spanish attacking midfielder made a fake move to force the opponent, and immediately gave the football to the midfielder after Danny Rose was fooled.

When Lampard was playing basketball, Pogba didn't rush up immediately, which gave the magic lamp a chance to kick.He swung his leg directly outside the penalty area and made a powerful long shot. Pogba raised his foot to intercept the ball but failed.

Ter Stegen rushed out immediately, and the German kid who saved sideways kicked the football out with both fists.Lovren immediately went to find the second spot of the football and wanted to clear it with a big foot, but Torres just ran into the penalty area, and the football saved by Ter Stegen fell at his feet.

The Spanish striker did not hesitate to shoot directly, and the football hit the running Lovren's leg and flew into the goal.

Charlotte on the sidelines was stunned: "That's okay too? Aren't you the one-handed and empty-goal goalkeeper? Why does Mao get close to some inexplicable balls every time he touches us?"

Although the football bounced off Lovren's body, UEFA officials still counted the goal on Torres' head, and did not count Lovren's own goal.

Torres did not celebrate. Having experienced ups and downs, the experienced Toniu naturally understands that personal honor is of no use at all, and the only way to help the team win is king.So Torres quickly rushed into the players behind Ter Stegen, trotted the football to the midfield and waited for the opponent to kick off.

"With more than 20 minutes left in the game, Torres' supplementary shot brought Chelsea back. Now the game is [-]-[-], and the game has suspense again!"

Benitez is also very happy, he seems to see the hope of overtaking.Now only one goal behind, there is still plenty of time. Although I dare not say that I can succeed in the counterattack, I still have great hopes of scoring a goal and dragging the game into overtime.

So the balding middle-aged fat man in the Mediterranean immediately made a second substitution. Oscar replaced Ramirez, and the attacking midfielder replaced the all-around midfielder. Chelsea wanted to continue to strengthen their offense.

The game resumed and Chelsea's high morale took hold.Many people are wondering if there is really suspense in this game?
Neutral fans are happy because they don't like to see a one-sided game.Chelsea fans are also very happy, because they see hope.The only unhappy ones are the Southampton fans. The previous celebration was carried away, but now they are a little worried.

No. 70 minutes, taking advantage of a dead ball, Charlotte pulled Schneiderlin, the lagging playmaker, to the sidelines: "Tell the boys, we are leading now, not the opponent! I see you playing in this game, it seems The ones behind are the same as us. Isn’t the opponent going all out to attack? This is exactly what we want to see, tell them to prepare for a counterattack, once they block the opponent’s attack, and see that there is space behind the opponent, just pass it directly, don’t worry about it Can teammates pick it up!"

Charlotte has already used up all three substitutions in the audience, so now he can only rely on the players to make their own adjustments. At this moment, thinking about the timing of replacing Wanyama just now, it is still a bit early, leaving one substitution It is more reassuring to deal with such emergencies.

Chelsea's offense was relatively active during this period, and they desperately hoped to equalize the score.It's just that the Blues didn't notice that the space in their middle and backcourt was getting bigger and bigger by their offensive players. Only Terry and Ivanovic were left in the backcourt.

Benitez can see this, but there is no other way. Now there are only Lampard and Oscar in the midfield. He intends to wait for the ball to be dead and give instructions so that Lampard, who is no longer physically fit, can stay in the backcourt and defend. .

Oscar has the ball, but he's stuck in a dead end.There is no support from teammates around, Lampard is still behind him, Mata and Hazard are on both sides, so he is completely caught in the middle by Lallana and Pogba.

Torres glanced at Demba Ba, then retreated to meet Oscar.With Chelsea's scoring efficiency dropping sharply, he often does this kind of work, and even retreating to the midfield to get the ball is no longer rare.

But before Torres came back completely, the football was cut off by Pogba.The French midfielder kicked the ball to Lallana behind Oscar to prevent the opponent from using foul tactics on the spot.

Lampard also forced up, intending to grab the football at Lallana's feet.But Lallana, with his back to the attacking direction, didn't mean to take the ball and turn around. Instead, he handed his foot to Schneiderlin who was in front of him, and then immediately turned and ran towards the opponent's half.

Schneiderlin had already seen the gap in the opponent's backcourt, so he didn't stop the ball, but swung it out directly against the rolling football. The football flew over the heads of Lampard and Lallana, which was also very It quickly flew over the heads of Terry, Ivanovic and Icardi.

"Long pass. Hit behind!!!" Zhan Jun roared loudly.This is still a counterattack method that Southampton is very good at, relying on a group of super high-speed players to hit the opponent's back.
