Chapter 320: Champions League Semi-Finals Against Bayern, London Derby Reappears at Wembley

"The ball is in! Li Ang's tricky penalty kick helped Chelsea score another goal! The total score has reached 2:0!

Juventus is standing on the edge of the cliff. No matter what tactical backhand Allegri has, he must reveal his trump card in advance now!"

Zhan Jun suppressed his excitement a little to make his commentary sound neutral at least on the surface.

However, General Fan, who was a special guest in the PPTV live broadcast room today, was not so particular.

Li Ang scored two goals in two knockout games. His ability in this key battle is simply off the charts!

Old Fan and Coach Zhang have always been quick-talking. Li Ang performed so well, and they also praised him without hesitation.

"It's the 10th goal in the Champions League! 10 goals and 8 assists. Li Ang is still far ahead of all his opponents in the number of goals he has created in the Champions League!"

"This year, Li Ang has a chance to be the top scorer in both the Premier League and the Champions League! It seems that he will definitely be the assist king.

In terms of goals, Li Ang is only one goal behind Ronaldo. He has a chance to catch up!"

Coach Zhang helped Li Ang set a flag, and under the influence of Li Ang's current explosive personal data, Chinese fans do not think that Coach Zhang is saying anything bad.

This year, Ronaldo's goal efficiency in the Champions League has dropped a lot compared to the past few seasons.

Real Madrid's midfield core Xabi Alonso is one year older. After Matuidi was seriously injured in the middle of the season and was out for the season, Real Madrid's midfield defense can only rely on Casemiro alone.

Modric's game status this season has always been ups and downs, and the midfield is not stable, so Ronaldo's threatening opportunities are naturally much less than before.

In the La Liga, it is still very easy for Ronaldo to score against many mediocre teams.

But in the Champions League, especially when opponents almost always choose to use tactics against him, the midfield cannot stand up, and Ronaldo is no match for four hands.

Messi and Neymar, who had scored eight goals in the Champions League before, have been eliminated by Li Ang.

So now the opponent competing with Li Ang for the Champions League Golden Boot is actually only Ronaldo, who is more difficult to score as he kicks back.

Don't look at this round of knockouts, Real Madrid still won by a large margin against Manchester City.

But Ronaldo was restricted by Manchester City in these two rounds and only scored one goal.

Manchester City would rather let other Real Madrid forwards play comfortably and not give Ronaldo an easy chance to score.

Manchester City and Real Madrid stabbed each other in the back, but they did not completely have no chance of advancing. They have already restricted Ronaldo.

But Bale and Marcelo played explosively in the second round, and the two of them contributed three goals together, directly knocking out Manchester City.

I can only say that Guardiola has been unlucky in the past two seasons in terms of luck...

Cristiano Ronaldo's goal was interrupted by Manchester City, so Li Ang certainly has the opportunity and qualifications to compete for the Champions League Golden Boot this season.

And the game between Chelsea and Juventus has not yet ended.

If Li Ang can score another goal in this game, he will be tied with Ronaldo for the first place in the Champions League scorer list!

Li Ang will not ignore the personal honor that is within reach.

If Juventus gives Chelsea another chance to counterattack later, then he is still very likely to score a goal, so he can try!

After celebrating the penalty kick, Li Ang's eyes are still very confident and fiery.

However, he will not arbitrarily change the game tactics formulated by his own coaching staff.

The game that is already won should be won steadily, and there is no need to take extra risks.

It is okay to strive for goals and personal honors, but it must be based on the overall interests of the team.

Li Ang knew the importance of the game. After the game resumed, he also took the initiative to call on his teammates to give priority to consolidating the defense.

Juventus will eventually press forward. They have no choice but to fall behind by two goals. Next, it depends on whether Chelsea and he can seize the opportunity of attack and defense conversion.

Mourinho sat back in the coaching seat. Seeing that Li Ang was still calmly directing his teammates to shrink their formation, he nodded with relief and did not go to the sidelines to give any tactical instructions.

At this point in the game, it can be said that he was lucky or that his tactical arrangement was successful. It is an indisputable fact that Chelsea controls the initiative of the game.

If this can still allow Juventus to make a strong comeback, it can only be said that it is fate.

Perhaps there are still many neutral fans who think that Chelsea should seize the opportunity to score more goals against Juventus and further expand their lead, which is the safest tactical play.

But at this moment, Mourinho's heart, stabilizing the defense, especially stabilizing the midfield defense, is what he cares most about.

The calmer and more steady he was, the more Chelsea emphasized defense at this moment, and the more impatient the entire Juventus team became.

Pirlo and Buffon were still able to keep their composure, but there are many young players in Juventus now, and the whole team is impetuous, and they can't stop them.

At the critical moment, Allegri's hair dryer skills were still useful.

Uncle Embarrassed stood on the sidelines and scolded Vidal and Pogba, who were above, sobered up temporarily.

Pirlo also stabilized the rhythm of the game and was no longer eager to attack Chelsea's midfield and backcourt defense.

But now if we have to wait until the halftime break to adjust, there is not enough time.

Allegri and the assistant coach had an urgent communication, and finally gave clear tactical instructions in the 30th minute of the first half.

They need to further improve the efficiency of the two wings. It is not advisable to force the middle road, at least when facing Chelsea's defensive system, this set does not work!

Evra and Lichtsteiner both began to frequently attack.

Coman, who is not yet 19 years old, also took off his substitute vest, walked to the sidelines at the signal of the assistant coach, and started warming up with his teammates.

This is a wise decision, because the teams that want to compete with Chelsea in the middle this season have lost miserably in the end.

Juventus' success this season is due to their excellent diamond four midfield tactical design.

But when it is time to change, you have to change. At least at this time, Allegri thinks that he must change the formation, otherwise he will be led by Chelsea.

After strengthening the offensive priority of the two wings, Juventus's offensive has indeed improved significantly.

At least Pogba and Vidal will no longer hit Chelsea's defensive wall and get themselves bruised.

Juventus' offensive level has also improved a lot. With Pirlo in the middle, they are also trying to pull Chelsea's defense horizontally.

However, Chelsea's biggest trump card on the defensive end is not on the bench.

Li Ang saw that Juventus's offense was gradually getting better, and he also suppressed his desire to continue scoring goals and retreated decisively!

When he came back, Chelsea directly took out the strongest defensive form. Once the three-back system was put out, it was simply to kill all Juventus fans!

Anyway, so far this season, no team has been able to break Chelsea's three-back defensive system and turn the tables at Chelsea's home court.

The rhythm of the game was forcibly cut off again. Uncle Embarrassment wanted to speed up, but Mourinho and Li Ang just wanted to "cool down" the game.

So at the halftime break, the score of this game was still fixed at Chelsea 1-0 Juventus.

And in the second half, Juventus also had bigger troubles.

That is physical fitness.

Juventus's midfielders are actually okay, the main problem is in the midfield and backfield.

Let's not talk about Master Pi for now. Although he is old, his current way of playing is more energy-saving, so he can still hold on.

The fatal point is still Juventus's two wingers.

Evra is about to turn 34, and Lichtsteiner is 31.

In today's game, these two old guys not only have to beware of Chelsea's quick counterattacks on both wings, but also have to make important contributions on the offensive end and keep plugging in.

It's nothing to put them in their respective peak periods. Their physical fitness is very good, but the biggest enemies of players are time and injuries.

People have to accept old age.

Evra was the first to be unable to hold on. Just in the 60th minute of the second half, he made frequent mistakes on the defensive end.

Salah doesn't respect the elderly and love the young on the court. He just wants to force Evra with the ball!

He dragged the former Manchester United captain down alive!

Allegri is really helpless now.

Because the season has reached the second half, Juventus' left side is injured and tender, and there is no qualified substitute except Evra.

Replace Evra at this time?

Then he can only let Chiellini go to the left side, and let Barzagli and Bonucci partner.

But what is the difference between such tactical adjustment and direct surrender?

In desperation, the uncle can only let Evra hold on for a little longer.

Juventus seized the time to launch a general attack.

In the 63rd minute of the second half, Morata pulled the side and forced his national team teammate Azpilicueta, but the cross he sent was first destroyed by Terry.

Two minutes later, Morata changed his position to the right side and went straight behind Bertrand!

After receiving Vidal's overhead pass, he chose to shoot directly into the far corner without stopping the ball!

This shot was very threatening, and Cech had to be safe and punched the ball out of the baseline.

In just 5 minutes, Morata stood up and created dangers one after another, and he still played his worth.

It was this offensive method that made the fans at the Chelsea stadium look at each other in bewilderment.

The live camera was also aimed at Lukaku, who was sitting on the Chelsea bench at the moment, staring and scratching his head.

Morata, who was pulling to the side, had speed and could also force the full-back in confrontation, which was exactly the same as Lukaku's advantage!

But Chelsea's response strategy was also very fast.

Li Ang directly switched positions with Kroos and went to the right side of his own half.

In this way, he and Matic were stationed on the left and right of the midfield, and the defense just radiated to the two sides.

If Morata wanted to pull to the side to play a misaligned attack again, the two of them would have to take action.

Unfortunately, Chelsea had just changed its formation, and before Morata continued to exert his strength, Juventus' backcourt had problems first.

In the 67th minute of the second half, Evra cramped and fell to the ground. He really couldn't hold on.

Allegri had a gloomy face and could only choose to change the formation in advance.

However, after replacing Evra with Barzagli, Uncle Embarrassing did not let Chiellini take the position on the left side.

Instead, they made continuous substitutions, replacing Marchisio with Coman, and then changed to a 352 formation!

After Coman came on the court, he became the left wingback, and Juventus also maximized its offensive capabilities.

But just when Juventus opened up its tactical chassis and was about to make a final desperate attack.

On the Chelsea bench, Mourinho called up Kalas, Maguire and Ramires.

This scene broke the defense of countless Juventus fans!

And the fans who are used to watching the Premier League smiled in front of the TV, "As expected."

The game almost became an offensive and defensive exercise between Juventus and Chelsea in the last 20 minutes.

Mourinho and Chelsea's players can really lose face, that is, they will defend to the death!

Li Ang also had no intention of counterattacking Juventus to score goals.

After a thorough squat, Chelsea put out the most luxurious defensive bus in Europe at Stamford Bridge.

Even though Allegri replaced Llorente at the last moment, Juventus' battering ram still failed to knock through Chelsea's reinforced concrete defense line!

As soon as the 4 minutes of injury time were up, the referee on duty blew the whistle to end the game!

The Stamford Bridge was filled with cheers, celebrating that the home team had reached the Champions League semi-finals for two consecutive seasons!

And this time, they all believed that their team would not just stop there!

Chelsea defeated Juventus 2-0 in two rounds and won the last spot in the Champions League semi-finals this season.

And two minutes ago, Atletico Madrid had already defeated Arsenal 2-1, eliminated Arsenal 3-1 on aggregate, and entered the Champions League semi-finals one step ahead of Chelsea.

So far, the final Champions League semi-finals of this season have finally appeared.

The Madrid duo has the opportunity to defend the dignity of the La Liga again, and the defending champion Bayern aims at the achievement of two consecutive Champions Leagues!

And Chelsea has reached the Champions League semi-finals for two consecutive seasons. This time, they vowed to win everything without regrets!

The Champions League quarter-finals battle has come to an end, and just three days later, the Champions League semi-final draw ceremony was held as scheduled in Switzerland.

This year's Champions League knockout draw will last until the end of the semi-finals. There is no advance division of the half zone, and the opponent is unknown every time you advance to a round.

This undoubtedly increased the excitement of the second half of the Champions League.

However, when Li Ang was interviewed by reporters again before the draw ceremony, he learned his lesson and stopped making speeches to attract hatred.

"I don't want to draw Real Madrid. Except for meeting Real Madrid on the final stage, I don't want to be enemies with Real Madrid in advance. That's it."

Li Ang was very smart to avoid the reporters' question trap.

And UEFA was not impatient to let Real Madrid and Chelsea collide in advance in the semi-finals.

The final draw result was a civil war between the two Madrid giants, and Bayern and Chelsea collided again in the semi-finals!

The draw that Bayern fans least wanted to see appeared, but for Chelsea fans, this is their best chance for revenge!

Last season, Chelsea couldn't beat the universe Bayern, and their dream of reaching the Champions League semi-finals was broken with hatred.

This season, Chelsea has been strengthened, so naturally, they have to get up where they fell!

Li Ang is also quite satisfied with the draw result.

It is to play against the champions of major leagues. If they can meet Real Madrid again on the final stage, it would be the best result.

On April 26, the FA Cup semi-finals kicked off, with Chelsea away to Aston Villa.

In a decisive match, Chelsea went all out and made it to the final with a 4-0 victory!

And their opponent in the FA Cup final is their city neighbor Arsenal.

Wembley Stadium will host the second London derby this season!
