Chapter 456 The Underestimated Hazard
Chapter 456 The Underestimated Hazard
Mourinho laughed, he thought Porto would stay until the end of the game.
Mourinho is not afraid of them attacking at all. As long as they have the idea of attacking, it means leaving Chelsea with a lot of room to counterattack.
But Chelsea must first solve Porto's offense.
Soon the Chelsea players discovered that they didn't seem to need to solve it, and the Porto players themselves would waste opportunities.
Porto was kicked under pressure for nearly an hour. They were waiting for a comeback in the last 15 minutes. As a result, Chelsea scored two goals in a row within 3 minutes. Let alone a comeback, this is about to collapse.
The most important thing is that the head coach has not given any instructions, and their mentality has collapsed.
It's like reading a good-for-nothing novel. The main character develops wretchedly in the early stage, but has a trouble-making physique. There are constant troubles, and anyone can come up and step on them.
Not only can the protagonist not be angry, but he also has to be able to not fight back when he is beaten or scolded, and he is still smiling. He has been abused for hundreds of chapters. When everyone is waiting for the protagonist to achieve great success and kill everyone, a flower suddenly falls from the sky. The basin was crushed to death by the protagonist.
Whoever's mentality would be broken...
The specific manifestation is that Porto's offense originally had a routine, and the frontcourt trio had to intersperse and cooperate. Now it has become that everyone wants to save the world by themselves.
After the kick-off, Martinez passed the ball to Casemiro and then couldn't wait to reach for it.
Facing the top scorer in the team, Fat Tiger still passed the ball back to Martinez very forcefully, and the latter drove straight in without any hindrance.
It's not that Chelsea can't defend anymore, but they did it on purpose. If they don't pull out Porto's formation, how can they fight back?
When Martinez dribbled the ball into the 30-meter dangerous area, Matic stepped forward to intercept and Martinez was forced to stop the ball. Under the pressure of Matic, he failed to break through and had to choose to pass the ball The point was given to Quaresma on the right, and he was going to make a two-for-one cooperation with Quaresma to bypass Matic's defense.
But Quaresma had no intention of cooperating with Martinez. He started the lone wolf mode. At this time, he only wanted to believe in himself.
Quaresma exploded directly, trying to use speed to pull away from Felipe Luis.
But he seemed to have forgotten the reality that he was 33 years old and not fast, and was easily followed by Felipe Luis.
However, Quaresma didn't panic at all. He used the change of rhythm to open a small gap, and Quaresma forced an inside cut.
Felipe Luis' attention had been on Quaresma's lap as he remembered Mourinho's introduction in the dressing room.
"When he shoots with the outside of the foot, the thigh swings a lot, and there's a noticeable pause..."
Quaresma's actions were exactly as described by Mourinho.
Felipe Luis immediately stretched out his leg to block, Quaresma's outside instep shot just hit Felipe Luis' leg, and the football bounced in front of Hazard who was chasing back. Porto's halftime assault.
But Martinez and Quaresma did not return to the defense, and the two of them were complaining to each other.
Martinez complained that Quaresma was alone, and Quaresma complained that Martinez did not come to respond...
Even the Spanish commentator couldn't stand it anymore, "Now is not the time to complain to each other. Martinez and Quaresma should return to defense quickly. Hazard has already crossed halftime."
Poet He couldn't care less about the Porto striker who was fighting among themselves. He shouted loudly, "Chelsea's counterattack!"
Although Porto's formation has been advanced by about 20 meters as a whole, the position of the defensive players has not been lost.
After a brief panic, they instinctively backed away.
Azar looked up for a while, Wish followed behind Maicon at a low speed, the two looked at each other, Azar understood, and wanted to send a through kick to Wish.
Just when Hazard was about to pass the ball, Wishing immediately accelerated his sprint. Maicon was startled, and quickly reached out to pull the ball, but he failed.
Mai Kong's heart trembled, and he secretly shouted that it was not good, he knew that his speed was not as good as that of making a wish, and this used to be a one-shot.
But after a closer look, the expected picture of making a wish and rushing to the penalty area with the ball did not appear. Hazard's passing route was blocked by Casemiro, and he did not pass the ball out immediately. The wish ran away!
"Casemiro! His positioning is very important! Hazard's pass was slow and Wish is now offside."
Hazard is not a vegetarian either. Seeing that the through pass was not going to work, he immediately knocked the ball across to William in the middle. He turned around and went forward, bypassing Casemiro's defense with a simple two-and-one.
Hazard didn't mean to slow down. He knew that if Porto slowed down, it would be difficult to get such a good chance to counterattack.
Glancing at Wishing, who had returned to Maicon, Hazard was about to pass the ball when he realized that Casemiro had given up on himself and instead ran towards Wishing, preparing to pinch.
This move instead aroused Hazard's competitive spirit. He really wanted to drag Casemiro back and ask him personally, did he look down on himself like this?
You must know that during the days when Wishing was injured, Hazard did his best to carry and carried the team forward alone.
Although he has a good relationship with Wishing now and often passes the ball to Wishing, it does not mean that Hazard has no ability to solve problems by himself.
In Mourinho's plan, Hazard is also explosive.
Hazard, who felt that he was underestimated, was full of energy, and he was ready to go it alone!
Facing Danilo's defense, he stepped on two bicycles in a row, then changed to cut in, passed the Brazilian right back, and flashed the shooting angle at the same time.
It was only then that Casemiro reacted, and immediately rushed towards Hazard, ready to block his shot.
But it was too late, Hazard kicked suddenly in the middle of the run, and the football arced across an arc and flew directly into the far corner of the goal.
3 is better than 0!
It wasn't until Hazard scored that Maicon and Martinsindy realized that this goal had little to do with their desperate pinching wish...
Of course, it's not accurate to say that. The wish still helped Hazard attract defensive attention, otherwise Hazard would not be able to score the ball so easily.
After scoring the goal, Hazard looked at Casemiro who was not far away from him. The bear spread his hands and shrugged by the way, meaning, this time you know how powerful I am, right?
Without waiting for Azar to pretend for a while, he was hugged tightly by the wish, and he was almost strangled...
"Beautiful! Hazard relied on his personal ability to score a goal. Chelsea led Porto 3-0 at home! They have entered the Champions League semi-finals with one foot! Mourinho can finally breathe a sigh of relief."
Mourinho was indeed very relaxed. After Hazard scored, he sat back on the bench and crossed his legs. Now he is sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.
As for Lopetegui, he's blowing in the wind...
