Chapter 732 Blue Blood Boils, Chelsea Sounds The War Drum In Europe
In the Champions League semi-finals, Chelsea must face the powerful Bayern Munich from the Bundesliga.
This team, which has the world's top stars such as Lewandowski and Muller, is formidable.
In the first round, Chelsea visited the Allianz Arena. Lewandowski took the lead in breaking the deadlock in just 5 minutes.
Bayern star forward Lewandowski took the lead to break the deadlock and dealt a heavy blow to Chelsea.
This attack was launched by Bayern winger Komar. After his "five-two-seven" quick breakthrough on the left, he hit the target accurately.
An unmistakable through pass was passed to Lewandowski who was inserted in the penalty area.
Lewandowski turned his back to Chelsea's goal,
But he only used a small fake move to completely throw away Chelsea center back Cesar Azpilicueta.
Then, he stopped the ball firmly at his feet, then turned around and pushed.
A low pinball from a tricky angle shot straight into Chelsea's lower left corner!
Although Chelsea goalkeeper Courtois made the right decision to pounce in that direction,
But the force and accuracy of the shot were so high that he was powerless.
In the end, the ball hit the net and Bayern opened the scoring at home, leading Chelsea 1-0!
This goal fully highlights Lewandowski's strength as the world's top striker.
He used only a small fake move to completely get rid of the tightly guarded Azpilicueta, and then pushed the ball decisively to score.
This set the tone for the rest of the game, with Bayern's striker strength clearly having the upper hand.
Conceding an early goal was a heavy blow to Chelsea, who were playing away from home.
After Bayern gained the opportunity, they became more proactive in attacking.
Chelsea also had counterattacks during this period, but they were all resolved by the opponent's tight defense.
Before the end of the first half, during a quick counterattack, Bayern got a free kick opportunity.
There are only 2 minutes left before halftime.
All Bayern players gathered in front of the penalty area, preparing to score another goal from this free kick.
The one who took the free kick was Lewandowski, the core of Bayern's frontcourt.
He took a few steps back and measured the distance slowly.
After the referee blew the whistle, Lewandowski stepped forward decisively.
His right leg volleyed a free kick that arced across the Chelsea wall!
The quality of this free kick is very high and the arc is just right.
And the speed is very fast, which directly makes the Chelsea goalkeeper unable to judge.
Just when everyone thought this free kick would go straight to the goal, Lewandowski unexpectedly passed it to the goal...
It turns out this was just a fake pass!
The Chelsea goalkeeper and all the defenders were tricked into rushing towards the ball.
At this time, Bayern defender Gumurs rushed up without anyone marking him at all.
Gumurs easily headed into the empty goal, extending the score to 2-0!
This wonderful free kick combined with the attack completely exposed Chelsea's defensive loopholes.
It also gave Bayern a definite lead before the end of the first half.
This makes Chelsea's situation even worse. During the halftime timeout, head coach Conte severely criticized the defense for its mistakes.
"We must deal with it calmly, it's not time to give up yet!" Conte encouraged the players.
At the beginning of the second half, Chelsea actively organized the offensive.
They also realized that if they did not regain the score at 4.9 as soon as possible, they would be passive.
In the 55th minute, during a quick counterattack,
Hazard successfully intercepted a back pass from Bayern on the right.
After judging the situation, he did not stop the ball, but directly kicked a through pass.
This through pass was extremely fast and accurate and fell right at the feet of Su Luo who had inserted into the penalty area.
The moment Su Luo received the ball, he judged that there was only one Bayern defender pressing behind him. .
