"In the 83rd minute, Chelsea took the lead again!" Duan Wenxuan's tone was full of admiration, "Look at this, Drogba headed back, Shi Hao didn't stop the ball, and directly sent a precise through ball with the outside of his instep. A classic forward pass and diagonal fit, Hazard acts as a finisher."

"This is Chelsea's third shot in the game, while Paris Saint-Germain has 3 shots and 12 shots on target, but the score is Chelsea leading 5:2."

"Shi Hao, who sent two assists, is undoubtedly the biggest contributor to Chelsea. Seeing his performance, I remembered a sentence: A good fighter has no great achievements. Everyone saw that he was closely marked this time. The whole game He didn't have any chance to touch the ball, and he only dribbled the ball once, but he just used two simple kicks, both of which were unconventional actions, one heel and one outside instep, and he helped Chelsea get two. An away goal."

"It's not easy, it's really not easy! There are no gorgeous performances, but these two assists have fully demonstrated his core position in Chelsea!"

The lagging Paris Saint-Germain launched a violent attack, and every attack was slapped on the sturdy bus.

In the 92nd minute, Paris Saint-Germain got another chance. Pastore's cross was snatched by Ibrahimovic, but Courtois made an incredible dive to pull Ibrahimovic's header out of the post.

This is also the last attack.At the end of the game, Chelsea defeated the powerful defending champion 2:1 and also scored 2 away goals.

The second round of the match between the two sides will be held at Stamford Bridge on March 3, but even a team that doesn't like Chelsea, I'm afraid they have to admit that Chelsea will most likely eliminate the defending champion and enter the top 11!

Back to the domestic arena, on February 2, Chelsea played against Burnley at home.It is only 21 days before the battle with Paris Saint-Germain, and Chelsea's players have not yet recovered their strength.And a week later, they will face their old enemy Tottenham in the Carabao Cup final.

So in this game, half of the main players, including Shi Hao, did not play. In the end, the two sides played 1:1, and Matic was also slightly injured in the game.

Mourinho was a little disappointed by not being able to win the game at home and widen the gap in the standings.But the team is indeed in a period of physical and mental exhaustion, even if he is a brilliant tactical master, there is nothing he can do about it.

Therefore, after the team was tied by a weak opponent, Mourinho did not criticize the team, but asked the whole team to cheer up and win the first championship of the season a week later.

……

On the afternoon of March 3st, the spring breeze was coming, but the sky was gloomy, and it seemed that heavy rain would come at any time. The final of the 1-2014 English League Cup was held at Wembley Stadium.

Both teams have won the League Cup 4 times. This is the 8th time that Tottenham have reached the final, and Chelsea is the 7th time, which is basically the same.

But after the 5:5 draw with the opponent in the away game, it can be said that the Chelsea players are not only vigilant against Tottenham, but also have a psychological advantage-look, you can't beat us in that situation, what else can you say!

In this game, Mourinho made a few adjustments to the lineup.First of all, Petr Cech, who was in excellent form during training, replaced Courtois in the starting lineup. The young player Zouma started the game, but instead of playing the central defender he was familiar with, he came to the position of the midfielder and partnered with Ramirez.The lone striker is still Diego Costa, behind him are Hazard, Shi Hao and William.

Tottenham Hotspur's roster is basically the same as the previous game.

But the process of the game was quite different from the previous game.

From the beginning of the game, Chelsea actively looked for offensive opportunities.In the 4th minute, after receiving a wonderful pass from Shi Hao, Diego Costa swayed the teenager Dell to shoot, which was saved by Lloris. Ramirez made a supplementary shot near the penalty spot and was blocked by Dell.Then Hazard took a corner kick, and Ivanovic headed from a small angle from far and hit the side netting.

In the 10th minute, Tottenham returned the favor.Harry Kane's breakthrough won Tottenham an excellent free kick opportunity 23 meters away from the goal. Eriksson shot directly and hit the crossbar and bounced back, causing the goal post to shake a few times.Tottenham controlled the second spot and knocked the ball back. Eriksson followed up with a long shot and hit Ramirez. The referee Anthony Taylor did not give a penalty, and Mason's follow-up was far The shot was blocked by Terry again.

This time Tottenham's offense made Chelsea jittery. If Eriksson's shot scored, the game might go in another direction.

Two minutes later, Hazard's breakthrough also created an excellent free kick for Chelsea. Shi Hao's round moon scimitar bypassed the wall and continued to spin towards the goal. Lloris could only watch desperately but was powerless Prevent.However, Shi Hao's fate did not come after all, and the column blocked his free kick.

Due to the solid defensive performance of both sides, the two teams have gradually slowed down the rhythm tacitly, and the game has entered a stalemate.

This is also what Mourinho predicted in his pre-match analysis. Chelsea's players have long been mentally prepared and played at a leisurely pace.

Shi Hao actively created various opportunities in the frontcourt, but Tottenham's defensive players were very focused, and Diego Costa's shots were still unable to find the goal.

As time goes by, the first half of the game is coming to an end.In the 45th minute, Chelsea got a free kick from the right side of the penalty area.

Shi Hao took the free kick. Because the position was too wide, he didn't shoot the goal himself, but chose to send the ball to the back point.The teenager Dell pushed the ball out with an awkward posture, but it didn't go far.The captain of the Blues, John Terry, shot at the ball. The football shuttled through the crowded penalty area. It did not know whose leg it touched. It changed direction and refracted into Tottenham's goal.

Chelsea have taken the lead!

You know, this is the English League Cup final. No matter who scores the first goal, they all have the initiative. The team that scores the first goal is rarely reversed.

After the second half began, it rained heavily and the court became muddy and slippery.For the offensive side, this is undoubtedly worse.

In the 49th minute, Chelsea launched a quick counterattack.Shi Hao got the ball in front of the penalty area and turned around to find Hazard on the left.After taking the ball, Hazard continued to shake and cut into the penalty area, kicked a pass, Shi Hao followed the shot but was blocked by Dell, the football changed direction and rolled towards the baseline.

William cuts in at high speed, rushes to the ball before the ball goes out of the baseline, and barely kicks the pass.After passing the ball, he himself fell out.

Due to the hasty kick, the quality of the pass was not high, the height was not high enough, and it flew towards the penalty spot with a strong rotation and arc.Shi Haoben was already chasing the ball, and when he saw that William was also chasing the ball, he turned back sharply.When William's pass arrived, he was still a little away, and it was not easy to stop the ball.Shi Hao didn't hesitate or think, he just jumped up and kicked his back!
