Chapter 134: Leading (4K)(2/2)
Although the shot was saved by Begovic, this guy is still not Courtois. You can't expect the team's second goalkeeper to make such a good save every time!
"Ceske!"
Just as AC Milan was preparing for a corner kick, Mourinho called Cesc Fabregas over and he quickly changed his defensive tactics.
Apparently Mourinho has noticed that Zuma is not very suitable to carry out the task of restricting Li Feng.
The corner kick was taken directly by Berardi.
"Point forward!"
"Li Feng ferries to the back point."
"Milinkovic's shot from the back post was blocked by Azpilicueta, and it was another corner kick!"
"Second corner kick of the game."
The shot from behind failed to score, which made Gattuso, who was already ready to celebrate, sigh lightly.
The Chelsea players on the field are much more focused on the defensive end than the "big brothers" of AC Milan.
Now it's Bonaventura who takes the corner kick.
Watching him lower his raised arms, Gattuso's eyes were fixed on the red and black No. 29.
"This time go directly to the front point!"
"Li Feng went around and scored a Drogba-style header!"
"GOALLLLL!!!!!"
"This header was handled so beautifully. The ball was fast and the angle was tricky. Begovic also tried his best to save, but the ball still fell into the net."
"AC Milan, playing at home, scored the leading goal in the 19th minute."
After scoring the goal, Li Feng opened his arms, and his slide towards the home fans made the atmosphere at San Siro Stadium even higher.
The cheers at the home court even made the home fans gathered outside the stadium respond in equal measure.
"I have to say that AC Milan's recent excellent performance has made the San Siro's devilish home come back again!"
No one can say clearly about the bonus of the Devils' home court, but no matter which team they are, they hope they can get the fanatical support of their home fans.
Now Chelsea will face not only the pressure from AC Milan on the field, but also the pressure from the home fans.
"Nemanja, John, you go warm up!"
Since we are already lagging behind, we must make adjustments sooner or later.
Under such circumstances, Mourinho is waiting for the best time to make adjustments, wondering whether AC Milan will give him such an opportunity.
The game restarts.
Chelsea kick-off away game.
Diego Costa begins his own journey of rejuvenation.
The ball stopped at the feet of Fabregas. Li Feng turned his head and glanced at Berardi on the wing, getting the information he wanted from the opponent.
"Li Feng is very fierce in grabbing."
"Fabregas failed to get rid of Li Feng's overmatch."
"The pass was affected by Li Feng, and Chelsea made a mistake!"
"Mikel withstood Li Feng and he passed the ball back to centre-back Gary Cahill."
Yu Miao in the studio watched Mikel almost being "knocked over" by Li Feng, and he took a deep breath.
Even though Mikel is no longer at his peak, his strong physique is not something that ordinary offensive players can handle.
"It seems that Li Feng has had a fulfilling summer."
It is normal for players to undergo additional training in the summer, especially young players. They need to accumulate experience to stabilize their positions.
After a summer, Li Feng's talent was further unleashed.
Now for Mourinho, if he wants to restrict Li Feng, I'm afraid he still needs to adjust the team's defensive players.
Regarding the current configuration of double midfielders, Mourinho has given them a very clear division of labor. Cesc Fabregas takes the lead in scheduling the offensive end, while Mikel is responsible for sweeping the midfield.
Because Li Feng was not alone, Mourinho also adjusted Zuma's defensive tasks, but the effect really didn't look good.
Obviously Li Feng's ability to read the court is a bit too good. This coupled with Li Feng's excellent confrontation ability, it is not easy for Zuma to restrict him alone.
This is also one of Mourinho's wishes to arrange for John Terry to warm up.
After receiving the pass, Azpilicueta advanced with the ball and got rid of it continuously. He broke through Berardi's attack.
"Azpilicueta's through ball, Pedro faced AC Milan's full-back De Sciglio."
"Pedro didn't try to break through, he gave the ball to Willian."
Pedro handles the ball rationally and knows his strengths and weaknesses very well.
Faced with Rodrigo Elie's challenge, Willian responded to Cesc Fabregas.
"Fasciano passed the ball and played directly behind the AC Milan center back. This is a good choice."
"Diego Costa throws his head and hits the goal!"
"Diego Lopez confiscated the shot."
A healthy Diego Lopez deserves Gattuso's trust.
However, the performance of the two men in front of him made Gattuso frown.
AC Milan goal kick.
Before serving, Diego Lopez was very careful, especially he noticed Diego Costa's position.
"Diego Lopez kicks big time."
"This made Diego Costa, who wanted to make a sneak attack, helplessly smile."
"Li Feng responded with a header, Milinkovic-Savic responded!"
"The ball was snatched back by Cesc Fabregas who was returning to defense."
Chelsea's on-the-spot counterattack.
William received the pass and got rid of it continuously, and Nigel De Jong exposed his flaw!
"Pedro on the left touches the far corner."
"Diego Lopez's save saved the team again."
"Chelsea corner kick."
William adjusted the placement of the ball and his eyes fell on Diego Costa in the penalty area.
As one of the team's reliable headers, at this time he is the most trustworthy one besides Gary Cahill.
The corner kicks taken by William are of high quality.
“Diego Costa didn’t grab the first point!”
"Gary Cahill's header, the ball was high, AC Milan's goal kick."
Diego Costa was blocked by Romagnoli, but they gave Gary Cahill a chance.
Although the final header failed to score a goal, it still made AC Milan's defensive players break into a cold sweat!
The game continues
