Chapter 180 Stamford Bridge
The impact of the Europa League is still quite large. In the past, Xia Qi was mostly reported by the Italian media, and the foreign media only incidentally or quoted articles from the Italian media.

After this battle, Xia Qi officially entered the perspective of the global media, especially the Chinese media.

Although Xia Qi was recognized by most people, many people still think that 6000 million is too expensive, and the price for Xia Qi on the German transfer market is [-] million.

But everyone knows that if Shaqi really enters the summer transfer market, it may be worth [-] million euros to make a deal.

Since De Bruyne has passed one fairy ball after another in Manchester City, the players in this template will definitely be looted, and the final transaction price will be inflated.

In the first round of the UEFA Europa League 1/8 match, there were many upsets. Inter Milan, who bet with Shaqi, did not bring back an away goal in the away game. They were tied 0:0 by Frankfurt.

Sevilla was tied 2:2 by Slavia Prague at home, which was also a big upset. Sevilla was the overlord of the Europa League back then.

Dinamo Zagreb beat Benfica 1-0 at home. After the report came out, some fans called the newspaper to ask if the score was wrong.Also, what country is this team from?
This is not the biggest upset of the first round.

The biggest unpopular shooter made!
Rennes of France has justified the name of Ligue 3. They beat Arsenal 1:[-] at home!This also allowed Chelsea to escape criticism from the British media.

Because Arsenal lost too much, the British media have switched to the Blues camp, giving warmth to Sarri and his players, and offering strategies to encourage them to beat AC Milan at home.

Cech, Aubameyang, Big Eyed Monster and others voiced angrily: We will advance.

But no one believes it!

The second round of the UEFA Europa League 1/8 was only a week apart. Gattuso refrigerated the main players, and the substitute lineup even defeated Sassuolo 1-0 at home.

Three world-class teams, Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham, were born in this tiny place in London.

But old fans know that Crystal Palace is the real king of London.

Of course, AC Milan also arrived in London one day earlier, and they borrowed the training ground of the Crystal Palace.

What's interesting is that AC Milan received the blessings of Fulham fans, who hung banners outside the Crystal Palace training ground to celebrate AC Milan's promotion to the quarter-finals in advance.

I don't know if Chelsea fans will faint in the toilet.

The Stamford Bridge Stadium became famous after Jose Mourinho took over Chelsea, especially the 08-09 Champions League semi-final second leg was murdered by Barcelona, ​​and the Stamford Bridge tragedy has become a memory of a generation.

Maybe the British media injected too much meaning into this game. When Shaqi shook hands with them, he clearly felt hostility in their eyes.

But Shaqi is not affected by this. If you have experienced the fanatical Milan Derby, you will not be afraid of anything...

Chelsea kicked off the game first. After the referee blew the whistle, they didn't want to waste even a second, pressing on the AC Milan army.

In just 48 seconds of the game, Hazard completed a high-quality shot, forcing Donnarumma to make a very thrilling save, saving the football from the baseline. Less than a minute after the start of the game, Chelsea won a corner kick.

This also seems to imply that AC Milan will not have smooth sailing in this game.

In this corner kick, Chelsea's captain Kanter leaped high and headed the football towards the goal before Romagnoli. Unfortunately, the header was slightly higher... But it also surprised the AC Milan fans in the stands.

"Oh oh oh! Chelsea's players are fighting spirited, it's early to get into the game!"

The England commentator said excitedly, this is what he is very happy to see, Chelsea's overall strength is higher than that of AC Milan, and as the home team, of course they should play more actively and aggressively.

Watching Chelsea have two threatening shots less than 3 minutes after the start of the game.

Gattuso frowned off the court, the game seemed a little more difficult than expected.If Chelsea still had some scruples in the last game, they let go a lot in this game.

Afterwards, although AC Milan won the ball, the Chelsea players on the court were like mad dogs. They surrounded AC Milan in the midfield and caused a lot of trouble for AC Milan.

Sarri stood on the sidelines and kept making gestures to press forward. He repeatedly told his players to launch a fierce offensive against AC Milan's goal as soon as the game started.

Because just before the kick-off and the end of the game is when the team is least focused, if they can enter the state earlier than the opponent at this time, it is possible to score goals.

Of course, the sooner you get a goal back, the better.

Now Chelsea's performance is very in line with Sarri's expectations. Their team has entered the state really quickly. Although they have not scored goals yet, a good start is half the battle.

Chelsea's such a fierce offensive finally reaped their dream goal in the No. 11 minute.

Hazard's shot caused Donnarumma's release, Giroud in the penalty area cleverly added a shot, and the football flew into the goal.

The commentator on England TV shouted excitedly: "Goooooooooal! It's Giroud! He opened the scoring for Chelsea. This is a very important goal, and the two sides are back to the starting point."

After the goal, Giroud ran to the corner flag area. His teammates followed him and hugged him. They celebrated the goal under the south stand of the stadium and interacted with the fans in the stands.

Italian commentator Noy said: "It's a pity that AC Milan conceded the goal too early. Although we all know that it is always inevitable to be scored, we just didn't expect it to be so fast."

His partner Thomas questioned: "The AC Milan defender missed someone when defending in the penalty area, and Giroud was not watched?"

"It's clear that AC Milan players are not in game form yet, and that's dangerous."

While the Chelsea players celebrated their goal, Shaggy comforted his team-mates.

"It doesn't matter, we also have a chance. After they press the attack, there are actually a lot of space behind them. We will fight their counterattack like the last game."

"We won't have too many opportunities, so we must not waste them."

When the game restarted, as Xia Qizhu said, after AC Milan completed an attack, Chelsea continued to bombard AC Milan's goal, the same as before.

Even the offensive is even stronger. Chelsea, whose morale is high, of course hopes to score more goals when their own ball is going well, and completely sink AC Milan.

However, AC Milan's defense is very tenacious, like a tumbler, if it is crumbling, it will not fall.

The game continued to be deadlocked, consuming the energy of the Chelsea players bit by bit.
