Football: Starting from being abandoned by Barcelona

Just when everyone thought that Atletico would completely suppress Chelsea and win in the end, an accident happened again.

At this time, Li Lei, who actively participated in the defense of Atletico, was also unwilling to accept it when he scanned the court.

Defense is not his strong point, and all his advantages are on the offensive end.

At this moment, the first half of the game has come to an end, and the two sides are still deadlocked. This is not the result Li Lei expected.

After a steal, Li Lei, who was on the wing, hurriedly shouted to the captain Terry who was in control of the ball:"Captain!Here!"

His shouting not only attracted Terry, but also Torres in the middle and Hazard on the left.

The two seemed to react immediately and charged towards Atletico's position at the same time.

The synchronized actions of the three caught the Atletico defenders who had already pressed to the center circle off guard, and they didn't know who to defend.

At the moment the three started, the ball under Terry's feet flew to the side.

The ball landed accurately at Li Lei's feet, so he ran quickly along the sideline.

Torres and Hazard's feints successfully attracted the attention of other defensive players.

Jimenez, who was returning to defense, moved in small steps, keeping an eye on the every move of the Asian player in front of him, and he thought to himself:" If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move either. It's best to force him to the bottom line."

Although his idea was good, Li Lei did not give him this opportunity. With his speed advantage, Li Lei directly fought past the Atletico defender.

When Jimenez reacted, Li Lei had already passed him and faced goalkeeper Courtois.

At this time, he wanted to pull the player to commit a foul, but his outstretched hand could not reach Li Lei's back. At this time, only Atletico goalkeeper Courtois was left in front of Li Lei!

Seeing the right time, Li Lei went straight into the penalty area and shot fiercely at the goalkeeper!

Facing Li Lei's shot, Courtois fell to the ground, and the ball flew over his fingertips and directly hung on the net.

"GOOOOOAL!"

When Li Lei scored the first goal, Keane in the commentary booth shouted excitedly:" Goal! Li Lei scored the first goal for Chelsea in this game! Chelsea leads 1-0!"

"What an unexpected goal! Chelsea's quick counterattack was amazing.

This sudden goal caught Atletico off guard and completely ignited the enthusiasm of Chelsea fans.

They waved blue flags in the stands, chanted the names of the stars, and celebrated Chelsea's first goal.

Jones also said:" Great! This goal was all thanks to Li Lei's personal speed and technical advantages"

"He completely turned the game around and gave Chelsea a huge boost"

" Yes, this is the meaning of top stars" Keane added

" He changed the deadlock with just one quick attack, injecting confidence into Chelsea. Let us wait and see the exciting contest in the second half.!"

In contrast to the excitement of Chelsea fans, the home Atletico fans showed painful expressions and found it difficult to accept this reality. The game had entered the injury time of the first half, and they were about to end the first half with a score behind, which was difficult for them to accept.

After Li Lei scored a goal, he excitedly made an arc on the court, and then celebrated this hard-won goal with Torres and Hazard who also participated in the attack.

The three of them smiled and hugged each other, and other players also came over to celebrate with them. Even Mourinho and the coaching staff stood up excitedly and applauded them.

" Li Lei! Li Lei! So beautiful!"

" A man stepped on a tornado and brought the ball into the penalty area, then faced the goalkeeper who rushed out and shot decisively"

" Damn, it’s in! Li Shen is awesome!"

Under Gao Yi's exciting commentary, Li Lei's quick counterattack turned into a goal, and the live broadcast room suddenly became boiling, and the fans left crazy comments in the comment area

" Li Shen's unique skill! This speed and this shot are so sharp!"

" Li Lei, the savior! Breaking through difficulties for the Blues!"

" Too strong! Atletico Madrid is completely overwhelmed!"

" Cheer up Chelsea fans! We are back!"

Gao Yi also excitedly interrupted:"Dear fans, warmly welcome the savior Li Shen! This goal has undoubtedly rekindled Chelsea's fighting spirit!"

The comment area was completely boiling. Li Lei's goal was like a bombshell in the hearts of Chelsea fans. They rekindled their confidence and passion for victory!

Not long after Atletico kicked off again, the referee on duty blew the whistle to end the first half of the game.

Compared to Chelsea players who walked happily to the locker room, Atletico players were angry and obviously very dissatisfied with the goal. This was simply a naked sneak attack!

In the player tunnel, Jimenez punched the wall. He was not reconciled to being dribbled past by Li Lei and losing the goal.

Other teammates comforted him:" Don't lose heart, man. We can come back in the second half."

"When defending, pay attention to Li Lei's speed and the coordination with other defenders."

Atletico Madrid coach Simeone then walked into the locker room and did not blame the players too much, but said:" Gentlemen, you need to be more focused. Don't forget to defend while attacking. Defense should start from the forwards."

" I saw the ball being lost, the forward could have easily recovered it!"

Simeone's tone was serious but calm. He analyzed the problem instead of simply blaming the players.

Captain Thiago also said:" The coach is right. When we start attacking, we sometimes overlook the importance of returning to defense."

"We must stay alert and defend together as a team to limit the opponent's counterattack."

Simeone nodded:" In the second half, I will strengthen the midfield, increase the siege on Li Lei, and reduce the pressure on the defense."

"We can't rush the attack, we need more coordination and create opportunities. We have to believe in ourselves. We have the strength to equalize the score.!"

The players nodded.

At the beginning of the second half, Mourinho made substitutions.

Li Lei, the hero of the first half, sat on the bench directly. The substitute was Kalas, who was better at defense. The formation directly changed to 4411.

At this time, Chelsea was like a fully armed heavy knight. The art of defense is to retain the ability to attack in addition to defense.

Mourinho's adjustment was obviously to defend with all his strength and maintain the advantage established in the first half.

Kalas is stronger and can strengthen Chelsea's midfield defense.

Atletico Madrid is also actively adjusting, sending more frontcourt players to form a trend of outflanking Chelsea.

As time goes by, Chelsea's defensive pressure is getting greater and greater, and they have paid the price of three yellow cards for this.

Atletico Madrid seems to be eager to equalize the score and prevent another counterattack, and the players on the field are becoming more and more irritable.

The game entered the final stage, and all Atletico Madrid players participated in the attack and constantly exerted pressure on Schwarzer in Chelsea's penalty area.

Mourinho shouted at the sideline. The three substitutions had been used up long ago. The last one was a defender replacing Hazard.

The two sides went back and forth, the scene was intense and stalemate, and every second before the final whistle was extremely precious.

In the end, Atletico Madrid failed to break through Mourinho's bus.

Chelsea won the first leg of the 2013-2014 Champions League semi-finals with a score of 1-0 thanks to Li Lei's goal in the first half. When the full-time whistle sounded, Chelsea players cheered and hugged, while Atletico Madrid players looked disappointed.
