Chapter 55

Under the leadership of the referee, the players of Chelsea and Rosenberg lined up in two rows and walked into the Stanford Stadium from the player tunnel.

Rosenborg's head coach Torum arranged a 451 formation for this game, with goalkeeper Hirschfeld, forward Kony, midfielders Shelbrey, Sapala, Riese, Tetti, Traore, Defenders Strand, Basma, Kopinen, Dorsin.

The 451 formation is a typical intensive defensive counterattack. It is a popular style of play at the moment. It is also a tactical formation commonly used by weak teams when facing strong teams. Whether they can win the opponent depends entirely on luck. The highest goal is to draw the opponent. Try to Don't concede the ball.

However, because five players are arranged in the midfield, if Chelsea performs poorly in this game, the Rosenborg team, which originally seeks stability, will adopt an aggressive and bold attack and become a new dark horse in the Champions League.

After the two sides tossed a coin, the referee blew the whistle to start the game. Chelsea's first game of this year's Champions League group stage officially started under the attention of the outside world.

The first team to kick off was the Rosenborg team. They set up a 451 formation and did not huddle in the half court to stabilize the ball. Instead, they directly set up a posture to attack aggressively. Forward Kony was in front and the midfielder Players Zapala and Riises were supporting each other on the left and right. The three of them lined up neatly and fired three arrows directly towards the Chelsea penalty area.

Although Chelsea's four defenders did not expect Rosenberg to play like this when he came up, they did not miss it at all. They directly moved towards the three people and did not give the other party, especially the forward Kony, any space to receive the ball.

After receiving the pass, Rosenborg midfielder Tetti rushed towards Chelsea with the ball. Traore and Dorsin were behind Tetti, always keeping a certain distance from the latter. It is convenient to receive Teddy's pass and cooperate with each other to play the ball.

On the other side, Rosenborg midfielder Shelbrey, like Tetti, led two defenders Strand and Basma to press near the Chelsea center circle. They were a little slower than the three of Tetti, and their position was It is also further back, firstly to keep an eye on Chelsea's midfielder and frontcourt players on the left, and secondly, to promptly respond to the pass from the left and wait for an opportunity to launch a second attack.

"Chelsea's full substitute lineup in this game gave Roseborg's coach Torum confidence. Roseborg started with a three-way attack and played very aggressively."

"Tetti rushed forward with the ball. Wright Phillips and Sidwell stepped forward to attack! "

Teddy made a fake move! Teddy pushed the ball to the right! Sidwell followed up! I was left behind!"

"Tetti received the ball again, and Chelsea defender Ferreira came up!"

"Tetti passed the ball directly!"

The football flew into the sky and then fell to the forward. At Kony's feet, Alex stared at Kony so nervously that his heartbeat almost stopped. He bent down slightly and leaned to the left to block Kony's inward path. His eyes were fixed on Kony's feet. Just wait for the opponent to reveal a slight flaw, then directly extend your foot to steal the ball.

Kony did not panic at all. As Roseborg's number one striker, although he is unknown to outsiders, his strength is not inferior to Alex. After being blocked by Alex, Kony was not forced to step down as Alex thought. Instead, he gently pulled his foot, accelerated his speed and cut directly towards the inside!

Alex quickly moved forward and prepared to squeeze Kony away, but Kony was physically strong. Alex squeezed him several times but failed to squeeze him away. Instead, he was almost knocked over by Kony.

Kony, who defeated Alex with his speed and physical fitness, dribbled the ball along the inside line and rushed to the penalty area. He looked up at the famous British goalkeeper in front of him and quickly observed Endrit's position. , Kicked the door decisively.

Before Kony's football took off, Endritt adjusted his position, with his legs slightly bent and arms spread. Kony knew with just one glance that if he hit the near corner, Endritt would easily pick him up. , so his ball went straight to the far corner.

As soon as the football took off, Endritt bounced up like a spring. His arms spread out in the air like an eagle soaring in the sky. His arms were stretched out, aiming straight at Kony and shooting towards the far corner. football.

Kony closed his eyes and silently comforted himself. He is a famous British goalkeeper. It is not surprising that he can judge the direction and save the football so quickly. He...huh? etc! There seems to be a chance!

Belletti, who has always wanted to prove himself, got a fixed starting defender and kept his eyes on the football. When he saw the football flying towards the far corner, he directly let go of the midfielder Shelbrai he had been staring at, turned around and took a step. He rushed towards the football and directly raised his foot to block it, but he seemed to have misjudged the length of his legs and failed to kick the football. He only brushed Belletti's leg and bounced directly towards the ground.

The football's original flight path immediately changed. Although it was still flying in the direction of the goal, it had gone straight from the far corner to the dead center below the goal.

Kony raised the corner of his mouth and looked at Endrit, who was still in mid-air, and raised his hands directly to celebrate the goal: Endrit had absolutely no time to change his actions!

Endritt's eyes were fixed on the football. He fell to the lawn with a "bang" and immediately turned to the right. The extended middle finger of his right hand happened to touch the football that was about to rush into the goal.

The football changed its course again under the influence of Endrit, so Kony watched helplessly as the football, which was about to hit the goal post and enter the net, changed direction and hit the post before being bounced back into the penalty area.

The Chelsea fans sitting in the Stanford Stadium seemed to have been on a roller coaster at the beginning of the game. As soon as they saw Endritt's save, they knew that the ball was safe. So what if the opponent's offensive was beautiful? Can't score?

Belletti's sudden appearance also made them excited, wondering if this could be a collaboration between the two? The result was not cooperation, but a proactive attack that made their blood pressure rise. They directly provided an assist to the opponent and allowed the opponent to score a goal.

Many Chelsea fans had already cursed. Although tears did not well up in their eyes, they were ready to start spitting at Belletti. Then, they saw a saving scene that they remembered for a long time: After landing, Endrit turned sideways and poked the football out. The football was bounced to the left side of the penalty area, and Rosenberg midfielder Teti caught it. Seizing the opportunity to shoot back, Endritt, who was only halfway up from the lawn, straightened up his upper body and slapped the football to the right side of the penalty area with one hand.

Before Endrit, who had just stood up, could stabilize his position, the football flew over from the right penalty area again - it was Shelbrai who was left open and rushed in front of the football to volley!

Endrit didn't have time to take a breath. He held his breath and moved his body in the direction of the football. He quickly pressed down the football that was trying to touch his chin, and then held the football firmly in his arms.

Endrit couldn't believe his four defender teammates anymore. After putting the football at his feet, he shot the football towards the midfield. After he watched the football disappear from his sight, Endrit then He breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Mourinho on the sidelines.

Endrit didn't say anything. After all, even if he spoke, the latter wouldn't be able to hear him. He just looked at Mourinho eagerly, hoping that the latter would understand what he meant: Don't be stunned, coach, and quickly change some defenders. Come on, he really doesn't want much, just John Terry and Ashley!

Mourinho didn't stare at the frontcourt at all after the start of the game. His eyes kept wandering back and forth between his own backcourt and Endritt, so he quickly locked eyes with Endritt, and it was very He soon understood what Endrit meant.

If it were the previous games, Endritt would not have to wait at all. Mourinho would have already approached the assistant referee to apply for a substitution when Belletti assisted the opponent. But now, Mourinho pretends that he did not see it. Endrit's eyes silently focused his gaze on the front court, as if he had been attracted by the confrontation in the front court.

"The footage of the scene showed Chelsea's coach Mourinho. His expression was very calm. It seemed that he was not surprised at all that Endrit could complete a series of amazing saves like that just now."

"Yes, before the game, Mourinho Coach Neo is very confident in Endrit's performance. He believes that even if the media team is Endrit's teammate, Endrit will not lose any football!"

"I don't know if this is true ! Really, but judging from Endrit’s series of saves, coach Mourinho is completely confident that he can say this.

“After Endrit fell to the ground, he immediately got up and completed the second time without any pause. , The third save, this simply ignores the existence of physics! "

The football ball came to Chelsea's feet, and players from both sides had a fierce battle for position in the midfield. Sheva relied on his rich experience on the court in this game. Seizing a favorable position in the melee, he broke through the crowd with the football. The Rosenberg players chasing after him so quickly that Sheva had no time to adjust and shot directly.

Fortunately, because the melee just now disrupted the line of sight too much, Rosenberg goalkeeper Hirschfeld could not keep his eyes on the football. After Sheva broke through, he immediately took a shot. After the football flew a certain distance, Hirschfeld judged Following the direction of the football, he jumped into the air and rushed towards the upper left corner of the goal.

But because he started a little late, before Hirschfeld jumped to the highest point, the football went straight towards the net. After the football hit the net, Hirschfeld's hand didn't touch it. Arriving at the trajectory that the football just flew over.

"Beep beep..."

Duhamel, the referee of this game, blew the whistle that the goal was valid, and the entire Stanford Stadium instantly became a sea of ​​joy.
