Chapter 129 Blue Bridge Without Dreams
On March 3, the Lyon team arrived in London one day earlier.

According to international practice, England fans actively caused troubles for Lyon, including but not limited to verbal insults, tailgating threats, crazy noise outside the hotel to disrupt rest and so on.

And outside the hotel where Lyon stayed, Chelsea fans played a lot of slogans such as "Reverse Lyon" and "Beat France".

On March 3, at 16:7 pm local time in the UK, the second round of the UEFA Champions League Round of 45 officially arrived.

In the stands of Stamford Bridge, the Blues fans pulled out a huge 2:0 pattern.

As long as they win 2:0 at home, they can reverse Lyon, just like they reversed Paris before.

"Two seasons ago, in the quarter-finals of the Champions League in the 13/14 season, Chelsea reversed Paris Saint-Germain at home."

"Four seasons ago, in the 11/12 UEFA Champions League round of sixteen, Chelsea reversed Naples at home."

"In this current Chelsea team, most of the players have a lot of reversal experience."

"Especially Ivanovic, he participated in both reversals and both started, especially in the reversal of Naples in the 11/12 season, it was his goal in overtime that successfully killed the opponent."

The England commentator kept talking about Chelsea's reversal history, and at the same time the Chelsea fans in the stands were also cheering wildly.

The game officially started, and the away game Lyon took the lead in kick-off.

Lyon's basic tactic is to defend and counterattack, in order to try not to concede the ball.

As long as the lead in the first round can be maintained, it doesn't matter even if they lose and advance.

Therefore, after Lyon kicked off, he deliberately fell to the midfield and backcourt, and was not in a hurry to attack.

Chelsea wanted to score a comeback, so naturally they would not be polite, and immediately pressed forward to grab the ball.

Unexpectedly, the first press will create a dangerous situation.

Umtiti returned the ball better than Cevac, but the return was weaker, allowing Diego Costa, who was actively pressing, to poke the ball away.

Lyon's double central defenders frantically chased back, but still let the Spanish forward wade into the penalty area to complete the goal.

Fortunately, Anthony Lopez played bravely and flew to save the ball.

"Lyon players must be cautious. They are facing the famous Chelsea, and it is an away game. The score of 3:1 in the first round is not necessarily safe."

The domestic commentators were shocked, and their tone was full of worries.

The game restarted and Chelsea went on the offensive.

The situation on the court is a bit like the first round, the home team has a clear advantage and continuously suppresses the visiting team.

Although Lyon counterattacked, Chelsea's overall state is much better than in the first round, so most of Lyon's counterattacks will be intercepted.

In the 30th minute of the game, Chelsea, who had been attacking continuously, finally scored a goal.

Willian went straight up and Diego Costa slid past Umtiti and scored with a low shot.

Stamford Bridge exploded with a bang, and the Blues fans cheered and shouted wildly.

Diego Costa was in poor form in the first round and missed at least two good chances to score goals. The English media considered him to be one of the main culprits for Chelsea's away game loss.

Now back at Stamford Bridge, Costa has obviously recovered his form.

"Don't worry! Continue to stabilize the defense!!" Fournier quickly stood on the sidelines and shouted to his players to help everyone stabilize their mentality.

In fact, everyone in Lyon was not too worried.

The coaching staff had already set goals before the game. Losing 0:1 or 1:2 in an away game is an acceptable score.

Therefore, the Lyon team still defended their defense and successfully withstood Chelsea's offensive for the rest of the first half.

At the end of halftime, the two teams returned to the locker room with a score of 1:0.

Chelsea temporarily leads Lyon 1:0 at home, but trails 2:3 on aggregate.

"It's a delicate scoreline, as long as Chelsea score another goal in the second half, they will level the score on aggregate and then have an advantage based on away goals."

"When Chelsea reversed Paris Saint-Germain at home in the 13/14 season, they scored a goal in each half and completed the reversal with a score of 2:0."

The England commentator was excited again, constantly mobilizing the fans' emotions.

The difference of one goal, whether it is big or small, is not small.

Sometimes you can score a goal with an inadvertent attack on the court, and sometimes you can't score a goal after fighting hard for 10, 120 or even [-] minutes.

At the same time, the French commentator is also talking about some historical data that is beneficial to Lyon.

"In the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League in the 09/10 season, when Lyon met Bordeaux in the same league, they also won 3:1 at home in the first round. They conceded a goal in the first half of the away game in the second round, but they successfully defended in the second half. With a total score 3:2 to eliminate the opponent to advance."

※※※

After the intermission, the two sides returned to the court.

Lyon still focuses on defensive counterattacks.

Fournier kept emphasizing defense in the midfield locker room, making the Lyon team believe that we will be able to hold the score.

Of course, he didn't forget to arrange a counterattack.

"Chelsea have been attacking in the first half. They must have had a lot of energy, so the second half is a good time for us to counterattack and score goals."

"Zhang, Alexander, attack the opponent's goal if you have the opportunity, don't be polite to them."

At the beginning of the second half of the game, Chelsea quickly set off an offensive as expected.

In the 51st minute, Lyon intercepted the ball in the backcourt, Zhang Chaoqiang quickly dribbled the ball across the midfield, attracted the defense and then transferred to Valbuena who followed up in the middle.

The bantam kicked a pass, and Lacazette decisively advanced to form an anti-offside, and directly pushed and scored.

"Good goal!! Lacazette pushed and scored, and Lyon immediately equalized at the beginning of the second half."

"At present, Lyon's total score has returned to a two-goal lead, and their chances of advancing are still firmly in their hands!"

The French commentator is extremely excited. This goal has indeed greatly alleviated the crisis that Lyon may encounter.

The England commentator continued to cheer for Chelsea.

"The score was tied at 1:1, but the Blues still have a chance. As long as they score two goals in a row in the next time, the two sides can return to the same starting line."

As soon as the voice of the British commentator fell, Chelsea once again organized an attack.

Hazard failed to break through with the ball and returned the ball to Fabregas.

Zhang Chaoqiang, who was back in front of his own penalty area, saw the right time and decisively started, and stepped forward to intercept the ball.

Accelerate forward, immediately throw off Cesc Fabregas and Willian, and knock the ball across Jordan Ferry.

Ferry quickly returned the ball, and the two went straight past Azpilicueta with a two-to-one cooperation.

Zhang Chaoqiang had a smooth journey ahead of him. He dribbled the ball and rushed into the opponent's half.

"Get back on defense! Stop him!! Stop him!!!"

The Dutch coach Hiddink on the sidelines kept waving his arms horizontally, trying to prevent Zhang Chaoqiang from rushing with the ball in this way.

But Zhang Chaoqiang was not affected in any way, and he rushed to Chelsea's penalty area in an instant.

Gary Cahill stepped forward to defend, and Zhang Chaoqiang circled under his feet, and directly wiped him off by pedaling his bicycle smoothly.

Facing Courtois who abandoned the goal and attacked, Zhang Chaoqiang swung his right leg and picked the ball lightly with the toe of his right foot.

The ball easily passed over the head of the Belgian goalkeeper and fell straight into the net.

"Goooooooooal—————"

"Super Zhang!! It's that lore king again!! He's coming!!"

"With a beautiful long-distance attack goal, Super Zhang broke the Chelsea goal again!"

"Although this goal is not a lore at the end of the game, it can also be called a lore."

"Because this is Lyon's second away goal, this goal made Chelsea completely lose hope of a comeback!"

"Lyon scored two goals in 5 minutes and currently leads Chelsea with a total score of 5:2. If Chelsea want to reverse, they must score four goals in a row to be enough. That is impossible!"

"We can congratulate Lyon for qualifying in advance!"

At this moment in Lyon's countless fans' bars, after the fans cheered wildly, they began to shout "Super Zhang" in unison.

And the domestic commentary once again came up with a literary commentary.

"In the history of Chelsea, the Blue Bridge has indeed staged many reversals of dreams, but in the moment just now, Zhang Chaoqiang officially announced with a goal-tonight's Blue Bridge is doomed to have no dreams!"
