Chapter 522 The Gap in Frontcourt Efficiency

Butt goals are also goals!
When the football rolled across the goal line, there was a huge cheer at the Olympic Stadium. Every Millwall supporter was celebrating excitedly. They chanted various slogans to express their inner joy for the goal.

Among these slogans, one is the most resounding--
"Bent! Bent! Bent!"

Many people joined in shouting Bent's name, because the two goals in the game were all scored by Darren Bent. It was also Bent's tenth Champions League goal just now. No player can compete with the top scorer in the Champions League.

In the current Champions League scorer list, AC Milan's Kaka ranks second. Kaka scored eight goals, one of which was a penalty kick. Eight goals are enough to stabilize the second ranking.

There are more players ranked third in the scoring list: Liverpool's Crouch, Chelsea's Drogba, and Valencia's Morientes, all three players scored six goals. The ranking is determined by the playing time. Less playing time means higher efficiency and higher ranking.

In the final of the Champions League, only the participating teams can compete. Drogba still has a chance to win the top scorer, provided that he scores at least four goals in the remaining time.

Obviously, that couldn't be done.

So Bent will definitely become the top scorer in the Champions League, and his performance is indeed very good. The final was less than halftime, and the score of two goals is enough to overwhelm all other players, even Smicer, Morris and others They all performed well, and it was difficult to block the light that Bent accumulated with the number of goals.

Bent became the focus of the audience.

At this moment, almost all TV commentary media are talking about Bent, "Bent! Millwall's No. [-]! It is also the sharp knife of the whole team. He helped Millwall enter the final with one goal after another. It also helped the team gain a huge score advantage in the final!"

"Perhaps in the eyes of many fans, Bent is a bit of a name, but in fact, he has been selected for the England national team."

"Bent is not only the top scorer in the Champions League, but also the top scorer in the Premier League. This season he ushered in an explosion. The league and the Champions League are like a scoring machine!"

"Bent can score a goal in an average of 83 minutes in the Champions League! This efficiency is amazing!"

"Bent didn't play all the Champions League games. In Millwall's group stage, Bent didn't play in two games, but he still scored ten goals!"

"This ball is very interesting. Bent scored with his hips! Maybe it's a matter of height. All he can use is his butt. His reaction speed is very fast..."

"..."

On the Millwall coach's bench, Zhang Yang celebrated with others. Many people couldn't help laughing. While they were excited about the goal, they also thought it was interesting for Bent to score with his butt.

Zhang Yang thought of Bent's talent - shooting!

The ability to "potential recognition" shows that Bent has only one talent - shooting. In fact, compared with other top strikers, Bent has no other characteristics. His speed is very fast, but the speed of top strikers is not Soon, his skills were excellent. To become a top striker, his skills must be very good. Therefore, Bent's only outstanding point is his hard-to-detect shooting talent. He can be said to be a natural shooter.

There is also a difference in the talent of the shooter.

It seems that Josh Simpson has a talent, he can have a keen sense of smell in front of the door, just like a person's sixth sense, he subconsciously feels that there may be opportunities somewhere.

Bent's talent is his excellent shooting ability. He can use wonderful movements to complete shots from various positions.

The goal now proves it.

While analyzing the goal in Zhang Yang's mind, he had to praise his ability to "predict". The last time he played against AC Milan, Bent was affected by the "speaking method" and his condition became very good. The crotch goalkeeper stepped on the ball and shot.

At that time, Zhang Yang wanted to reduce the number of times he used "Speak Out" for Bent, because when Bent's state exploded, it was easy to attract the opponent's hatred, and Bent was largely responsible for the fight with AC Milan.

Zhang Yang didn't pursue it.

When things get to that level, there is no way to say who is right and who is wrong.

Now the prophecy has come true.

Zhang Yang didn't use 'Speak Out' for Bent, he spontaneously completed 'Ass Goal'.

Zhang Yang felt very helpless.

Although Bent had no choice but to score the ball with his butt, it was too much of a coincidence.This hatred has attracted, it is estimated that Chelsea players all remember him firmly.

----

Maybe Chelsea fans don't care.

For Chelsea fans, how the goal happened has become unimportant. They care more about the score on the field. The fans who came to Athens with the team must hope to see the team win the championship. But in the first half Before it's over, it's just two goals behind, which is really unacceptable.

In the past, in the Premier League, Chelsea have repeatedly failed to beat Millwall.

Now it's the Champions League final, the event is different, the venue is different, Chelsea should have a chance, right?
Even if it is a tie, a penalty shootout will give people hope of winning, but they scored two goals in the first half, can Chelsea really tie?

The fighting spirit and confidence before the game seemed to have disappeared with the goal.

The Chelsea fans in the audience became much more silent, they did not want to accept the fact that Chelsea were two goals behind.

Many fans also became dissatisfied with the team.

In the eyes of Chelsea fans, Chelsea is not weaker than Millwall. The chairman of the club, Abramovich, invests hundreds of millions of euros in buying stars every season. There are many, but against Millwall, they fail every time and lose every time.

This is unacceptable.

Abramovich, the chairman of the Chelsea club, has exactly the same thoughts as the Chelsea fans. He has a large number of supporters, but he doesn't care about the fans' thoughts at all. His face is cold and scary, and he wants to leave the game early.

It was 2-0 in the first half, how can the game be played?
A few seasons and an investment of hundreds of millions of pounds are enough to buy another top giants club. As a result, Chelsea have won only one league title, and finally reached the final of the Champions League. , I originally hoped that the team could win the Champions League, but it seems that there is not much hope.

Abramovich couldn't help looking at Millwall's coaching bench. He was very optimistic about Zhang Yang before and thought Zhang Yang's coaching was more suitable for Chelsea.

Now he is more determined.

"Show off!"

Abramovich sighed softly. He felt that he should take the initiative and recruit with the greatest sincerity. Maybe Zhang Yang changed his mind and planned to join Chelsea?

----

The goal was being replayed repeatedly on the TV, and after the slow-motion playback ended, the angle of view also turned to Bent.

In the "friendly" ridicule atmosphere of his teammates, Bent was a little embarrassed to celebrate the goal. He didn't know whether he should be excited or what, because he felt a little funny. At that time, he had no choice but to rub the ball in with his butt. .

After a simple celebration, Bent didn't make any gestures to celebrate. He stretched out his index finger and middle finger on his left and right hands respectively, and then crossed them together to form a 'tic' character.

Bent was doing this action, which immediately attracted the attention of the camera.

This time, there is no need to guess at all, and everyone understands what Bent means. Just now when he scored a goal, he crossed his index finger. Now that he scored two goals, he crossed his index finger and middle finger together.

What Bent wants to express is too obvious!
"I got into the second one!"

If you scored five goals, wouldn't you be able to slap directly?
That would be interesting.

Zhang Yang thinks it is very creative, and there are similar ways of celebrating, but it is rare to express it so clearly and straightforwardly. Bent is completely "counting" with everyone to let them know how many goals he has scored.

Well, it's also creative.

The British BBC radio commentator Lineker was embarrassed. He vowed to analyze the meaning of Bent’s cross movement. Now it is tantamount to a direct slap in the face. He can only mutter and say, “Bent’s movement is very interesting ..."

Then, no more.

Chelsea felt very upset. The opponent scored two goals in one half, and the opponent was still there 'counting the goals', but they didn't take Chelsea seriously at all.

Many players were angry.

After the restart of the game, the Chelsea players' defense against Bent was much tighter. As long as Bent received the ball outside the penalty area, it might be a flying shovel.

Fortunately, Bent was without the ball most of the time. He was the only striker in the team. Receiving a pass meant threatening Chelsea's goal. It was impossible for Chelsea to let Bent receive the ball easily.

The next time is short.

The fourth official raised a sign to announce 2 minutes of stoppage time. The two teams suddenly played two waves of offense and defense. The time was almost over. As Zambrotta kicked the ball out of the field with a big foot, the referee decisively blew the onslaught. The whistle at the end of halftime.

The two teams ushered in a short rest adjustment time.

----

After the first half, the media and fans were discussing the game. Many people couldn't believe the score, but Millwall led by two goals.

If it’s an ordinary league game, it’s fine. Any team will make mistakes. If they perform well, they will perform poorly. No one can expect a team to perform well forever. It's all a regular occurrence.

But here is the Champions League final!

Any team will become very cautious when encountering this kind of competition. They will prepare in advance and spend a long time to train against them. The team will do a good job of defense, and there are occasional big scores. For example, in the 2005 UEFA Champions League final, AC Milan scored three goals in halftime, provided that the gap between the two sides is relatively large.

Back then, Liverpool was unanimously underestimated. Their journey to the final was full of ups and downs. Both the lineup and record were very different from their opponent AC Milan.

This game is different.

From the perspective of the lineup, Chelsea has the advantage.

Although Carvalho, Shevchenko and other players are injured and unable to play, the impact on Chelsea is not as great as imagined. Millwall's lineup is already at a disadvantage. Being suspended, it is difficult to compare with Chelsea in the lineup.

Even considering the records of both sides, Chelsea is not much worse than Millwall. They have always been a strong contender for the league title, as well as a strong contender for the championships in England and Europe.

Chelsea is a top-notch team, and no team can say that it is definitely stronger than them.

From two perspectives, there is no reason for the game to be played like this.

When the players of the two teams returned to the locker room respectively, the media and fans were discussing the score and Darren Bent scoring two goals.

The media commentary analyzed various data and the form of the first half, and finally found that Millwall did not have the advantage, but Chelsea had a slight advantage.

What is the reason for Millwall's ability to score?
"Frontcourt efficiency!"

Lineker talked about the key words, "Millwall has a higher efficiency than Chelsea. Chelsea's striker Didier Drogba has scored a lot of goals, but his ability to catch opportunities in front of goal is not as good as Bent. "

"Bent didn't have many chances in the first half. He only took four shots but scored two goals. Such efficiency is enough to prove Bent's excellence. He belongs to the kind of player who can score goals when given a chance!"

"Chelsea had [-] shots and only three on target, Millwall had nine shots, four on target and scored two goals."

"This is the gap in frontcourt efficiency!"
