Chapter 1411 A War ([-])

The venue for the final has been decided at the beginning of the season. It is Wembley Stadium, which Chelsea and Ai Fan are very familiar with. I will not mention the past, but this season Chelsea has achieved a record of complete victories here, and for those Chelsea fans For us, this place is naturally no different from their home stadium, so it has long been a blue ocean, and the Benfica fans in red just gather in a relatively remote corner, which makes people feel like they are away. fan.

Originally, according to UEFA's usual practice, fans of these two teams should be able to split the tickets for this match in half, but the problem is that a large number of local fans in England have already sold their tickets to the same team. Chelsea fans in England, and what's more, they put on blue jerseys and walked into the stadium. At this moment, they all became fans of England, cheering for the English team.

The Portuguese fans are not so lucky. First of all, they are a bit too far away from here. The round-trip travel expenses and high prices make many people discouraged, so many tickets that should belong to Benfica have also arrived. In the hands of Chelsea fans, this is also an important reason why this game has become Chelsea's home court.

Due to Mourinho's special arrangement before the game, Chelsea can put up the entire main lineup. These people have waited too long for today. The 4-2-3-1 formation is still the same as before, and the goalkeeper is still the Czech Republic. Petr Cech, Ivanovic, Marcos, Terry and Ashley Cole at the back, Lampard and Luiz in the midfield, De Bruyne, Mata and Luiz in the frontcourt. Ai Huan, the striker is still the Dutchman Huntelaar.

And Benfica did not put up a passive defensive formation as the outside world guessed. They directly put up a 4-3-3 offensive formation. To break that damned curse, they have also come up with a forgetful offensive formation, and they have put the defense behind them.

Goalkeeper Arthur, back line from left to right Almeida, Luisson, Garay and Melgarejo, midfielders Enzo Perez, Matic and Rodrigue, striker trident Gaitan, Ka Dozo and Salvio, this lineup is not without much offensive power, and it is definitely not just luck that they can get to where they are today, they also have very strong strength.

And I am afraid that anyone who has played the classic game Football Manager will have a great interest in that monster Gaitan. Everyone knows that this guy has always been a player that many clubs are staring at. Does he really possess those qualities? The flash point is also very scratchy, because Gaitan's performance is like a nerve knife, he doesn't know when he will shine brightly, and he doesn't know when he will suddenly lose all his aura, so So far he can only stay in a team like Benfica.

Sure enough, Benfica's tactical thinking is to use attacks against attacks. They immediately took the initiative on the field at the beginning of the game and began to attack with all their strength.In the first minute, Cardoso received a header from Gaitan, but the ball was too high and flew out of the baseline.

Chelsea didn't seem in a hurry. They were obviously not in the right shape. They made too many mistakes in the midfield. In the second minute, the midfielder made a pass error. Cardoso intercepted the ball and immediately passed it in, but the football was easily caught by Petr Cech. got it.

Gaitan was very active in this game, and his next through pass was very thoughtful. Unfortunately, his teammates did not understand his thoughts, so they were a step slower when catching up, which also caused the football to be interrupted by De Bruyne down.Before De Bruyne could pass the football, Matic tackled him, and the referee blew his whistle and gave Chelsea a free kick in the backcourt.

Louis made a long pass, but this time the pass was a bit too outrageous. It neither gave Ai Huan the right, nor passed it to someone who was more confident, but directly kicked the football out of the opponent's bottom line.

In the 4th minute, Lampard's pass was not in place. Ai Huan didn't get the football, but because of his running, the opponent could only stare at him but failed to control the football at the first time. Ivano behind him Vicki has already assisted to the frontcourt, he handed the football to Mata, and Mata sent it into the penalty area again, but the ball was cleared out before Huntelaar.

Then Benfica attacked, Salvio made a low pass, and Cardoso shot again in the penalty area, but Marcos watched very closely, and he blocked the opponent's shot.

Chelsea didn't have a chance to shoot in the first 5 minutes, which also made Mourinho very angry. He sat on the sidelines with a gloomy face that was even scarier than the current weather. By the way, the weather in Manchester today is a bit strange. It started to rain and stopped suddenly 5 minutes before the start of the game. Now the sky is gloomy and scary. It seems that there will be another heavy rain. I don’t know when it will suddenly come.

The Chelsea fans off the field are a little anxious. This is not the Chelsea they are familiar with. Why do these players have so many problems?Could it be that the continuous battle has exhausted them?Haven't they been resting for a long time?How could this problem arise now?
And Benfica kept trying various shooting methods. In the 7th minute, Matic tried a long shot from outside the penalty area, but this time the shot was relatively high, which was too unreliable.

But soon their chance came again, because Chelsea made another mistake in midfield, Lampard fouled in midfield, got a yellow card, and also sent a free kick.Benfica took a free kick, but Chelsea's defense was still very solid, which prevented the opponent from finding a shot in the penalty area.

Benfica is obviously in a strong state, and they have already made a gesture of letting go. In the 9th minute, Matic seemed to pass and shoot, but the football was directly given to Cech.

The Chelsea fans couldn't sit still in the stands. They began to sing Chelsea's team anthem, trying to use this method to increase the morale of their players. It's not fun to go on like this.

But at this moment, there was a sudden burst of strange cheers from the North Stand. The people sitting there were all Chelsea loyalists, but it was still very hard to understand the sudden burst of cheers at this time. Mind, everyone doesn't know what's going on.
