Chapter 427 Only time can delay Chelsea(2/3)
return.
The ball fell to midfielder Goretzka.
He saw Hazard approaching and passed the ball directly.
The Belgian stopped the ball, turned around, and sent a diagonal pass from behind.
At this moment, Mbappe was like a bolt of lightning, quickly striking behind Moreno.
Both players are very fast, but Moreno has insisted on playing for almost the entire game, which consumes a lot of money.
Mbappe only came on as a substitute at the 80th minute, and their physical fitness is not at the same level at all.
Physical fitness also affects speed and explosive power.
Mbappe rushed forward quickly, took the lead, waded the ball in front of him, and chased after it as quickly as possible.
Skrtel was just outside the penalty area. He immediately turned around and caught up with Mbappe, but the French teenager, who had just turned 17, suddenly poked the ball forward near the penalty area line and accelerated again.
In the visiting team's stands, Chelsea fans instantly cheered crazily.
Using absolute speed to pass people is one of the most popular scenes on the football field!
"Mbappe has accelerated again!!!"
"Oh my god, he's so fast!"
"He breaks through, he goes in, he shoots...oh, he crosses!"
Mbappe relied on his speed to rush through Skrtel's defense zone, rushed into the left side of the penalty area, caught up with the ball he just poked on the left side of the small penalty area, and glanced at the center, left
The foot sent a low pass.
The ball fell right in front of the small penalty area, and Lukaku rushed over at this time, met Mbappe's pass, and sent the ball into the almost unguarded goal with his right foot.
"The ball went in!!!!!!"
"In the 93rd minute, which was the last moment of the game, Lukaku broke the deadlock for Chelsea!"
"Mbappe used his speed to complete a wonderful breakthrough on the left and gave Lukaku a wonderful assist."
"We saw that the Chelsea players were very excited. This was a killer shot!"
"The whole Anfield stadium was filled with cheers from Chelsea fans, while Liverpool fans were silent."
"With the live TV footage, we can see that Pan Yi was so excited that he rushed out of the coaching area and rushed to the sidelines to hug his players. He looked extremely excited."
"Ninety-three minutes, Chelsea finally scored!"
"Mbappe, who came off the bench, completed a key assist, and Pan Yi's substitution worked again!"
"This is the magic of Pan Yi, he can always turn the situation around at critical moments!"
"...Ah, the referee blew the final whistle shortly after blowing the goal whistle! So, congratulations to Chelsea, they won the away game!"
"In this way, they have taken an advantage in the two-leg League Cup semi-finals and laid a solid foundation for their championship!"
"Chelsea has been unbeaten in recent times, but every game has been very hard."
"This is like an exercise and test for everyone at Chelsea. I want to see if they have enough strength to continue to fight for the unprecedented honor of seven crowns."
"You know, in English football, there is only one triple crown winner, and that is Manchester United in 1999."
"Back then, they achieved this feat by overcoming powerful opponents many times. The most typical one was the showdown with Bayern in the Champions League final..."
"The same is true for Chelsea now. From the winter break to now, they have struggled in almost every game, but they have the last laugh in every game."
"This is really the temperament of a champion!"
"In another League Cup semi-final yesterday, Manchester City defeated Everton 3:1. Is this year's League Cup final going to be between Manchester City and Chelsea?"
"But no matter who Chelsea's opponent is, I believe that when Chelsea get through this devilish schedule, no one can really stop them from doing anything!"
——
After returning from Liverpool, Chelsea took a short break before ushering in the third round of the FA Cup.
Fortunately, Chelsea's fortune was good, and their opponent in the FA Cup was Scunthorpe from League One.
Perhaps it is because this team has never competed in the Premier League, and even the name is unfamiliar to Pan Yi;
Although they have produced famous stars like Kevin Keegan, their historical record and current strength are far from Chelsea.
However, they still caused some trouble for Chelsea during the game.
Because they fight hard!
Now coaches and players all over the world are proud of defeating Pan Yi's team. After finally being "lucky" to meet Chelsea in the FA Cup, they still have to risk their lives to play?
And what about Pan Yi?
In normal times, they would definitely focus on attack and use goals to teach such a low-level team how to behave.
But now the whole Chelsea team is very tired, so Pan Yi doesn't intend to fight with others.
He first arranged the opening attack tactics, and then sure enough, Abraham "stole" one before the game time reached 5 minutes.
Then, the game entered Chelsea's passing rhythm.
Although Scunthorpe fought hard, it was a bit like punching cotton with his fists, unable to exert any force.
In the second half, Pan Yi even asked his players to shrink a little and get up to fight back.
A Premier League team that is good at attacking actually started a counterattack when facing a English League One team!
But the effect is obvious.
In the 72nd minute of the game, Mbappe took advantage of a counterattack opportunity and once again used his speed to get past the opponent's defense and succeeded in a sneak attack.
In the end, Chelsea won the game with minimal consumption and successfully entered the fourth round of the FA Cup.
——
It stands to reason that Chelsea fans should not be particularly satisfied with a 2:0 victory over a League One team without even a big advantage on the field.
But in fact, no one had any objections to this, and even the fans still sang praises for Pan Yi.
It's simple, they know the ball!
In such a difficult and intensive schedule, as long as we can win games and avoid injuries, what kind of bike do we need?
In this FA Cup game, Pan Yi even rotated all the players, allowing players such as Moses, Christensen, and Martinez who usually have less playing opportunities to play the entire game, and also allowed more players to win
A chance to rest and breathe.
And even these players who played, due to Pan Yi's tactical strategy, actually did not consume much during the game and recovered quickly.
Of course, in order to ensure the next two Premier League games, Pan Yi still let the players take a break after the FA Cup game.
After all, January 14th is the highlight of the battle with Manchester United!
This is the decisive battle that determines whether Chelsea can break Milan's 58-game unbeaten record!
After this game, just two days later, there was the game against Everton on January 16.
After these two games, Chelsea's suffocating schedule during this period has come to an end.
This kind of suffocating pressure is really devastating.
Let alone a player, Pan Yi was a little out of breath.
At this time, he could understand why even the powerful Manchester United at the time, including the powerful Manchester City later, could not win the quadruple crown.
If you add the FA Cup to the FA Cup, it would be terrible!
Of course, now that we have reached this point, the most difficult period is almost over.
It's time to cheer up and prepare to face the challenge of Manchester United!
——
In fact, the English media are already a little numb to the fact that Chelsea continues to win and is making great strides towards breaking the 58-game unbeaten record...
The numbness mentioned here does not mean not paying attention, but that I have slowly accepted the fact that Chelsea is really likely to break AC Milan's unbeaten record that year!
Whether it's Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham, Leicester City, or the mysterious middle and lower reaches of the Premier League, no one can stop this running Kodo beast!
The English media even lamented that the only thing that can delay Chelsea from breaking their 58-game unbeaten record is time!
In fact, what is really anxious about this record is that it is Italy.
AC Milan's 58-game unbeaten record is a symbol of the Rossoneri's pride and glory.
Some people may think that AC Milan's 58-game unbeaten streak has too many draws.
But it must be clear that when AC Milan set this record, it was the golden era of Serie A with the halo of the "Little World Cup". The seven sisters of Serie A - Juventus, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Parma, Fiorentina, Roma, Lazio, etc.
All of them are star-studded and possess extraordinary strength.
This does not include Napoli and Sampdoria, who have also won championships.
How strong was Serie A at that time?
Serie A teams participate in almost every Champions League and UEFA Cup finals, and in many cases it is even a civil war in Serie A.
To be continued...
