Dear Gua
Chapter 140 Bayer Leverkusen's Crisis!
Kruyff lay weakly on the hospital bed.
A group of Barcelona executives in suits stood around him.
Among them, a middle-aged man with glasses and graying temples said, "Regarding the foundation..."
He was none other than the current Barcelona president: Bartomeu.
Before last year's general election, the charitable return of the Cruyff Foundation, partnering with several Spanish banks, built many stadiums in the Catalan region, leading members to mistakenly believe it was Bartomeu's achievement!
Bartomeu won many votes, and...
Beside the field.
Old man Toppmöller slumped in the coach's seat.
Dino looked terrified.
Hiddink smiled, stretched his arms, and prepared to celebrate.
....
Van Dijk immediately abandoned the Chelsea striker and rushed towards the goal!
He knew he couldn't catch up with Hazard, and tried to help the goalkeeper block the space!
'Judging from the running route, as long as I block the far corner, Leno blocks the near corner...'
His thoughts were abruptly interrupted!
A magical scene appeared!
Hazard reached the edge of the penalty area.
The whole person and the ball "braked" at the same time!
A pause!
Van Dijk couldn't help but stop!
Accompanied by the exclamations of both sets of fans.
Hazard swung his leg slightly!
Leno couldn't judge the shape of the opponent's foot and the direction of the shot at all!
Thump!
The football skimmed the grass and flew towards the lower left corner of the Leverkusen goal!
It was precisely the space that Van Dijk hesitated to block!
The contest that continued from the Premier League to the Champions League, the Dutch center-back lost slightly again!
Fortunately, the football eventually slid out of the baseline!
The audience was in an uproar!
Hazard's expression was slightly regretful, he raised his arm, indicating that he had wasted the opportunity.
....
"Too much pursuit of angle!"
"What a pity, just a little bit off!"
"The cheers of the Chelsea fans are getting louder and louder! They are full of confidence in winning this game!"
Livestream.
The screen was filled with comments.
-[As expected of last season's Premier League champion!]
-[Chelsea are very steady, they won't create a massacre, this game will be 0:3 at most!]
-[The gap in strength is too big, unless there are two Van Dijks on the defense!]
-[Li Mingdeng's curse... is going to be broken today! Calling the wind and rain is useless, Chelsea like rain even more! Hehe!]
-[With the development of modern football, the role of individual ability is getting smaller and smaller, let's wait for Li Mingdeng to plan and break the game!]
-[It's hard to have a chance to break the game, the team built by Mourinho will "change shape" in every stage of the game!]
....
Leverkusen fans felt despair.
Old man Toppmöller was like a defeated rooster.
Faced with the huge gap in strength, he couldn't think of any tactical adjustments.
Even if he put out three center-backs.
Chelsea still confronted you head-on in the middle!
The overall running speed was not the same level at all!
If he let Li Kang play Xavi's "slow-motion push"? He would be beaten even worse by Chelsea.
Dino paced back and forth anxiously.
"Boss, we may have to stop in the Champions League quarter-finals..."
On the other side.
Hiddink clapped his hands with satisfaction.
As long as he didn't direct blindly, Chelsea could easily take a victory away from North Rhine!
....
Leno sent out a goal kick.
He didn't dare to pass it to the two pit-like goods, Papadopoulos and Jonathan Tah!
After Van Dijk received the ball, Diego Costa came menacingly!
The players on Chelsea's entire attacking line also posed a dimensional strike in terms of pressing ability for ordinary strong teams!
The Dutch center-back could only pass the ball back to the goalkeeper again!
Leno wanted to die.
Not to mention the midfield advancement.
Now even the backcourt can't get the ball out!
The Leverkusen goalkeeper had just stopped the ball.
Oscar pressed forward frantically again!
Smack!
The football flew out of the baseline!
"Oh, very dangerous!"
"Chelsea's corner kick opportunity!"
"Although Oscar has been transformed into a jack-of-all-trades by Mourinho, he is still a dimensional strike against teams like Leverkusen!"
"There is no defensive stance as expected, Chelsea's aggressiveness in this game is terrifying!"
...
The Leverkusen penalty area was full of players from both sides.
Fabregas raised his hand and sent out a corner kick!
Smack!
The football didn't fall straight into the penalty area!
Instead, it was passed to Willian's feet nearby!
The Chelsea winger's afro shook slightly!
Bellarabi quickly rushed up to steal!
Willian shrugged his shoulders, leaned forward, and pulled the ball back with his feet!
Easily shaking down the Leverkusen winger!
At the same time.
The angle for a long shot was also available!
Thump!
With a loud bang!
The football spun violently, drawing a strange arc, and roared towards the Leverkusen goal!
Leno's vision was blocked by his own teammates, and he couldn't make a save immediately!
Leverkusen fans were devastated!
That was a long shot straight into the dead corner!
Old man Toppmöller's expression was dull.
Dino's legs were shaking.
Hiddink laughed!
....
Before the football entered the goal line.
The figure of Leverkusen's number 10 jumped high!
It was that incredible height again!
Thump!
Li Kang shook his head and headed the ball out of bounds!
The phantom of the little goat in his vision knelt weakly on the grass and gradually dissipated...
Willian almost couldn't help but give Li Kang a thumbs up.
The four stands of the BayArena were filled with two emotions.
Despair and hope.
Leverkusen's despair.
Chelsea's hope.
...
"So dangerous!"
"Li Kang's header clearance in front of the goal line, wonderful!"
"I have to say, Willian's footwork is very outstanding! Chelsea's frontcourt and midfield is almost without any shortcomings! The arc is so beautiful!"
"Willian's nickname is Mourinho's version of Ronaldinho!"
"He was a thorough Ronaldinho style player during his time in Brazil and Ukraine! When he first joined Chelsea, under Di Matteo, he still liked to play fancy tricks."
"Mourinho has modified his style of play to be more pragmatic!"
"We see that Chelsea's substitutes are warming up! Everyone's name is like thunder! The bench is too deep."
"It's good to have money."
....
The game time passed minute by minute.
Chelsea didn't park the bus.
They were using the way they dealt with the lower teams in the Premier League, frantically besieging Leverkusen!
Forcing Li Kang to retreat to the penalty area to assist Van Dijk and Leno in resolving danger.
The 38th minute of the match!
Oscar sent out a wonderful pick pass at the top of the penalty arc!
Van Dijk jumped high and headed the ball out!
Not far enough!
The football fell to the right side of the penalty area!
Li Kang and Diego Costa rushed to the penalty area at the same time!
The shadow in his brain spread wildly!
The phantom of the little pony suddenly appeared in his vision!
Thump!
The close-up sound equipment transmitted a burst of fierce hand-to-hand combat!
Diego Costa felt a terrifying strange force coming, and staggered!
But at the moment of falling, he exerted force with his heel, using all his strength to hug Li Kang's chest tightly!
What is this?
This is experience!
Hugging the waist will be dragged away, hugging the chest will interfere with the other party's body center of gravity!
The Chelsea striker's confrontational ability is among the top class in the current five major leagues!
What about fouls!
Li Kang was like a fierce beast trapped by chains!
Diego Costa's pupils shrank slightly, and while his whole body was being moved, he exerted force again!
The referee put the whistle to his mouth.
But saw that Leverkusen's number 10's left foot touched the football!
....
In the sky above the BayArena, the football leaped into the sky!
Li Kang fell heavily back into Diego Costa's arms!
"Leverkusen's counterattack!"
"Chelsea will pay the price for this period of fierce attack!"
Near the center circle!
Son Heung-min started quietly!
He and Li Kang have a high degree of understanding.
Gradually able to find the most suitable counterattack route before Li Kang sends out a long pass!
Leverkusen fans cheered wildly!
Old man Toppmöller and Dino frantically waved their hands on the sidelines, signaling other attacking players to keep up with the rhythm! Increase the attacking points!
They knew that even if Son Heung-min got the ball, it would be difficult to break through Chelsea's defense!
Hiddink's expression was calm.
He lifted his glasses with his middle finger.
He was a famous coach after all, and he already understood Leverkusen's best counterattack method.
Therefore.
Son Heung-min couldn't get the ball.
.....
A tall figure blocked Son Heung-min's forward route.
Gary Cahill!
A severely underestimated top center-back.
Son Heung-min tried to bypass the opponent and accelerated again, but seemed to have hit a city wall!
Where the football landed.
Terry stopped the ball with a raised foot and gently pushed it to Courtois.
He couldn't help but sigh: Leverkusen's number 10's pass was of really high quality, and it was really comfortable to stop, but it was a pity that no matter how well it was passed, the teammates needed to be able to receive it.
"Terry's choice is very cautious!"
"Leverkusen's formation is already chaotic, he didn't choose to pass the ball out immediately, but handed it over to goalkeeper Courtois!"
"No rush, Chelsea are currently leading by one goal!"
"This move should be a signal to slow down the pace!"
.....
Leverkusen fans were silent.
Applause rang out from the Chelsea stands.
Old man Toppmöller covered his forehead painfully.
Hiddink turned his head and talked and laughed with the substitute players.
"That kid is very good at discovering the opponent's weak side and loopholes, and then using his own advantages... to gain the upper hand in the game."
"It's a pity, the things Mourinho left behind are too perfect."
"Even Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets, and Pirlo have tasted a lot of suffering."
....
Diego Costa stood up and pulled Li Kang up.
He patted him on the butt.
"You are really strong, you almost dislocated my arm!"
The referee stopped the game and gave the Chelsea striker a verbal warning.
