I work as a coach at Stamford Bridge

Chapter 162
After arriving in Turin, Yunqiao made a special phone call with Professor Wenger. They came to Italy one after another. The match between Chelsea and Juventus was one day earlier than the match between Arsenal and Roma.

The two also represent the confrontation between the Premier League team and the Serie A team. In the last round, in London, they both defeated the Serie A team. Chelsea defeated Juventus 1:0, and Arsenal also defeated Roma 1:0. .

It is also such a coincidence that the last round of the two Serie A teams also came to London at the same time, and they both went back in disgrace. This time, the two Premier League teams came to Italy together. I don’t know if they can contribute to the Premier League Bring good luck.

Chelsea's players were harassed by Juventus fans from the moment they got off the plane, and Kaka was the most popular. Drogba also joked that there were finally some players who were more popular than his coach.

This is a bit sour. Wherever he played away games before, Yunqiao was always the most popular. It seems that Kaka's Serie A games in those years were not in vain. The fans still remember him.

This time Ranieri's starting lineup has made a lot of changes, and the starting lineup is still goalkeeper Buffon;

In defence, Nicola Lerottlie, Chiellini, Molinaro and Grigera;

Midfielders Nedved, Thiago, Sissoko;

Forward Del Piero played together with Ted Zeguet and Iaquinta.

Ranieri played three strikers for this game, playing an attacking formation of 433.Defense has no way to advance to the next round, only offense.

And Yunqiao only made one substitution. Joe Cole returned to the top to replace Royce in the starting lineup. The team also returned to Chelsea's most commonly used 442 formation this season, goalkeeper Petr Cech;
The back line Terry and Carvalho started at the center back, with Ivan and Ashley Cole sitting on both sides;

Midfielders Arshavin and Joe Kerra are flanked by Kaka and Lampard in the middle;
Forward Drogba and Anelka.

The cooperation between Kaka and Lampard this season is really the top midfield combination in Europe. They have to control the ball and have the ball, and they have to shoot long shots. They are also at the best stage of athletes.

The only thing that may make England fans less willing to accept is that Kaka is the hub of Chelsea's first pass, which shows that in Yunqiao's mind, Kaka is the first choice for the midfielder.

In Yunqiao's view, the importance of the two of them is the same, but in the eyes of the fans, there is a difference between high and low.

It is true that as long as Kaka has no physical problems, his role in Chelsea's team is better than that of Lampard, and the statistics are more obvious. Whether it is goals or assists, Lampard is also behind Kaka.

What reassures Yunqiao is that there is no conflict between Kaka and Lampard because of these things.

This time, Ranieri had no choice. Being behind away from home, they could only attack at home. From the time the referee blew his whistle, Juventus played an offensive football that they were not very familiar with.

What kind of method Juventus will use, Yunqiao can predict, playing offensive football, Chelsea is really not afraid of anyone.

In the 3rd minute of the opening, Piero made the first shot for Juventus. Nedved passed the ball, and Piero shot directly from outside the penalty area. Piero played at a very high level. , straight to the lower edge of the beam.

However, Cech is not a vegetarian. Before the game, the head coach reminded that Juventus's offense will be very fierce in this game. The players must concentrate on it. Facing the ball, Cech hit it with a single punch.

The midfield is also the main battlefield of the competition between the two sides. As soon as Anelka received a pass from Ivan, he was caught in the middle by Nedved and Trezeguet, and finally collided with Nedved. Taken away by Trezeguet.

This time the impact was not light, with shoulders on shoulders, Anelka was in better shape than Nedved, and after rubbing a few times, he started running again, and Nedved took a few breaths to react.

In the 7th minute, Chelsea also responded outside. Drogba shook his head outside the penalty area and was easily embraced by Buffon. The distance was too far, the strength was not very strong, and the angle was not very tricky.

What broke Ranieri and Juventus fans was that something happened to Nedved.

In the 8th minute, Nedved collided with Anelka, who was running at high speed, and fell to the ground again. The latter was fine, but Nedved couldn't get up, and the referee asked the team doctor to play quickly.

Nedved hurt his ribs and looked very painful.

The team doctor signaled Ranieri to make a substitution, and Salihamidzic warmed up urgently, but an iron man is an iron man. Nedved is very clear about the meaning of this game to Juventus and to himself. He does not want to end in this way .

After 1 minute, Nedved persuaded the team doctor to let him return to the field, and he should not go out of the line of fire for minor injuries, unless he really couldn't run.

In the 13th minute, Nedved fell to the ground without any interference.

"what!!"

I saw him crying out in pain, tears streaming down his face.

This will be his last Champions League game as a player. Even if he is an iron man, he can't help the sadness in his heart at this moment, and he can't control his tears.

The Czech iron man is about to retire from the European war. He can no longer run with the players on the field as a player.

Nedved was carried off by a stretcher, and Salihamidzic came on as his substitute.

Yunqiao also stepped forward to comfort Nedved. This is a player that all fans should respect. There was a lot of sobbing from the sidelines, which was the cry of Juventus fans.

There is sadness for the team's mainstay injured, and there is also sadness for the team's next road.

Nedved may have surpassed Zidane in the minds of Juventus fans. He scored goals again and again, ran again and again, with a tough face, long flowing golden hair, and an unyielding spirit. In the history of Juventus.

I fight and I exist.

This is the Iron Warrior - Pavel Nedved.

Nedved's end hit Juventus' midfield even more. In a short period of time, Chelsea had already controlled the dominance of the midfield, but it was Juventus who scored first.

In the 14th minute, Arshavin lost the ball in the frontcourt. Trezeguet dribbled past Lampard. Trezeguet sent a pass behind and by the time they turned, Iaquinta had passed them and received the ball to create a one-handed one.

Facing the attacking Cech, Iaquinta calmly shot low, and the football passed through Cech's armpit and rushed into the goal.

1:0, 1:1 draw in two rounds.

The Juventus fans hadn't gotten over the grief of Nedved's injury when the team scored, they were smiling and tear-stained.

This conceded the ball made Yunqiao very angry, and signaled to Terry and the others to be careful behind.

Next, the attack group led by Kaka and Lampard launched an attack towards Juventus' goal
In the 20th minute, Lampard gave the ball to Anelka, leaned on Chiellini behind him, and passed the ball with his heel. The ball passed through the crotch of the two. shoot.

Being blocked by Molinaro's body with his body, Nicola hurriedly kicked the ball out of the baseline. At this moment, Molinaro squatted down with his stomach in his arms, and was suffocated by Drogba. The strength of the ball was not small .

Joe Cole took a corner too close to the goalkeeper and Buffon struck it off.

Soon, Joe Cole and Carvalho snatched the ball from Trezeguet, ran all the way along the sideline, took it to the frontcourt and passed it back to Lampard in the middle, Lampard took the ball in an arc , wanted to hit the top corner of the goal, but the ball was not pressed down and flew out of the baseline.

Ranieri frowned. He wasn't worried about the team's defense, but now the team is still behind. It is possible to win this round of finals only by scoring goals. Chelsea suppressed them in the backcourt and couldn't get out. Very bad for offense.

Ranieri was scratching his head.

The fans at home were very enthusiastic. With their loud shouts, Chelsea's offense was resolved again and again. The score was still 1:0, and Chelsea 1:1 Juventus in the two rounds.

By 44 minutes, before the end of the first half, Chelsea had their best chance.

Ashley Cole's pass hit Thiago's arm, earning a free kick 25 meters from the right.

Kaka, Lampard and Drogba all stand in front of the ball, Chelsea's free-kick taker did not specify which one, Kaka can kick, Lampard can also kick, and of course Drogba can also.

Buffon arranged a six-person wall to block the near corner. This distance is very suitable for a strong shot.

All three of them took a few steps back together.

"Di!"

Lampard started, he quickly ran over the ball, the wall has jumped up, followed by Didier Drogba shot with his right foot, the football went straight through the wall to the near corner.

Buffon reacted quickly, and immediately pounced sideways and fished the ball out of the goal line, but Drogba and the others were not satisfied. From their eyes, the ball had crossed the goal line, and Buffon was fishing inside the goal. from.

Seeing that the referee did not change the verdict, the Chelsea team became more and more excited, and they did not disperse until Drogba was shown a yellow card.

Yunqiao is also complaining, you sent a yellow card to the player who confiscated my goal.

In 2 minutes of stoppage time, Chelsea was still in the Juventus half. Lampard kicked Nikola out of the penalty area. In order to bypass Nikola, Lampard kicked the ball very high, and the football was square. Hit the crossbar.

"Bah"

The bouncing football just landed in the penalty area. Kaka started the fastest. He had already rushed in when Lampard took the shot. He didn't stop the ball. The half-high ball bounced back. Going in, Buffon, who had just been shaken by Lampard's shot, was helpless in the face of such a close shot.

After being scored, Buffon yelled at his back teammate. Kaka actually hit the ball first. Such a dangerous person entered the penalty area and there was no defensive player to follow?

Careless.

Ranieri also slapped the seat vigorously. This time it was 1:1, and the two rounds were 2:1. They were still one goal behind, and the opponent still had an away goal.

Juventus had to score two goals in the second half to qualify.
