Football: Starting from the 05 World Youth Championship

Mourinho has visited Stamford Bridge many times and is very familiar with every tree and blade of grass there.

Back then, he had a very enjoyable few years with the Blues.

Although he later parted ways with Abramovich due to differences in their philosophies, he did not take his anger out on Chelsea and the fans.

He still has deep feelings for the Blues.

If it hadn't been for the chance encounter, Mourinho wouldn't have wanted to return here as an opponent.

Because he didn't want to see the heartbroken looks on the Stamford Bridge fans' faces after Chelsea's defeat.

"Stanford Bridge is a great place. All the stadiums in the Premier League are great places; you can always come back for something new!"

In contrast to Mourinho's complex feelings, Lin Feng regarded Stamford Bridge as a lucky place.

There's no way around it; ever since he led the team in the Champions League, their win rate against Premier League teams has been ridiculously high.

Except for his first year at Inter Milan when he failed to beat Arsenal, the Champions League runners-up, he won every other match.

Although some say that Premier League teams' home grounds are difficult to conquer, it doesn't seem that difficult for Lin Feng.

To date, he has conquered Old Trafford, Stamford Bridge, and Anfield.

Of the four BIG stadiums in the Premier League, only the Emirates Stadium is missing.

Unfortunately, Arsenal had booked three years of Barcelona and five years of Bayern Munich matches in advance, but never got to play against Real Madrid, which meant they never had the chance to visit the Emirates Stadium.

Upon arriving at Stamford Bridge again, Lin Feng felt he was in good condition.

"Why do I feel like there are so many mosquitoes on this court?"

Cristiano Ronaldo put his hand on Lin Feng's shoulder and said with a smile.

"Mosquito?"

Lin Feng was somewhat puzzled.

Cristiano Ronaldo gestured towards the stands: "Didn't you hear that loud buzzing?"

In the stands, Chelsea fans were booing the two players wildly, much like Hakimi reacting to a jolt.

"A loud hiss means the other person is afraid of you, which is a good thing!"

Lin Feng didn't mind; this kind of treatment was commonplace for him.

He would be surprised if he went to a team's home stadium one day and wasn't booed.

Ancelotti's lineup today was quite bold; their only way to advance in this match is to defeat Real Madrid.

Amidst the deafening cheers of the fans in the stadium, Chelsea launched an attack on Real Madrid.

Less than a minute into the game, Chelsea unleashed a dangerous shot – Lampard's long-range effort from outside the box struck the crossbar!
Damn!

Inside the VIP box, Chelsea's owner, Abramovich, slapped his thigh hard, his face contorted with anger.

He desperately wanted to win, especially against Mourinho's Real Madrid.

No one knows how much public pressure Abramovich faced after ousting Mourinho and winning two Champions League trophies in a row after the Portuguese left!
Many Chelsea fans are complaining that he lacks patience and drove away the team's successful manager.

If we assume that Mourinho hadn't been ousted and that Chelsea had snatched Lin Feng from Inter Milan during the summer transfer window, then it wouldn't be Real Madrid standing on the throne of the top five leagues now, but Chelsea!

Unfortunately, there's no going back in life!
Abramovich has been repeating the argument that Mourinho is not a good fit for Chelsea.

Without any results, his words are seen by outsiders as nothing more than stubbornness.
But if they can eliminate Real Madrid directly in the Champions League, then perhaps some people will believe his claim.

Mourinho, who was drinking water, was startled. Lampard was still as fierce as ever; that long-range shot was a real threat!

We can't let this guy shoot so easily; we have to limit him.

Mourinho quickly called over a Real Madrid player and whispered a few words of advice in his ear.

Lampard may not be a good midfielder, but he is an excellent scorer.

However, to unleash Lampard's full potential, someone on the front line needs to help him create space, ensuring sufficient open space in the area from the edge of the penalty area to the top of the box.

Within Chelsea, Didier Drogba is the one who takes on this responsibility.

Therefore, to limit Lampard's performance, we cannot just focus on him; we also need to strengthen our defense against Drogba.

England manager Fabio Capello was also present at the match, and Lampard was one of his key targets for observation!
In the first few minutes of the match, Lampard's active performance drew frequent nods of approval from the Italian, who seemed very satisfied.

But then, when Real Madrid intensified their double-teaming of Drogba in the penalty area, making it difficult for him to fulfill his role as a target man, Lampard began to disappear from the field.

Lacking organizational skills, he appeared somewhat ineffective when the team's offense struggled.

On the other hand, despite being limited by Essien and Ballack, Lin Feng's performance was still very impressive.

In the 11th minute, Lin Feng broke free on the right flank and delivered a through pass with his left foot, tapping the ball to the edge of the penalty area.

Benzema received the ball and intended to shoot, but the opposing defender blocked him in time, denying him the opportunity to shoot.

Helpless, he could only pass the ball back to Lin Feng, who was making a forward run. After receiving the ball, Lin Feng once again sent out a through pass with his left foot.

This time, the ball was passed directly into the penalty area.

After controlling the ball on the left side of the penalty area, Ronaldo cut inside, cleverly avoiding Terry's interception, and then decisively shot.

The ball was too close to the goal. Although the shooting angle was not large, it was very difficult for the goalkeeper to make a save.

Cech reacted quickly and successfully touched the ball.

But Ronaldo's shot was so powerful that the ball deflected off his arm and bounced into the net.

The score is now 1-0!

Cristiano Ronaldo's goal not only gave Real Madrid the lead, but also made the score 2-0!

With a two-goal lead and an away goal advantage, Real Madrid have one foot in the final.

Chelsea need to score three goals in the next eighty minutes to turn the tide.

Damn it!

Abramovich was stunned for a moment after seeing the goal, a painful expression appeared on his face, and he angrily smashed the teacup in front of him on the ground.

The glass shards were scattered all over the ground, just like his mood at that moment.

When the goal was scored, the Real Madrid coaching staff went wild, hugging each other in celebration.

Some people tried to join Mourinho in celebrating, but he waved them off. He had already stated at the pre-match press conference that he wouldn't celebrate if the team scored at Stamford Bridge.

At this moment, he was simply sitting on the coach's bench, his expression revealing no joy.

Although it was only one goal, that one goal almost killed the game in advance.

Despite Chelsea scoring 7 goals in their last league match, how can the defensive quality of an average Premier League team compare to that of a world-class powerhouse like Real Madrid?

Conceding three goals in a single match is simply impossible for Real Madrid right now.

Judging from the despair on Ancelotti's face on the Chelsea bench, he must be well aware of this as well.

Real Madrid's goal disrupted Chelsea's tactical plan and caused the Chelsea players to lose their composure.

In the subsequent match, Ballack received a yellow card for handball, and Terry also received a yellow card for kicking Benzema's chin with a high foot while defending.

Poor Benzema, he only played for 20 minutes before being forced off the field due to injury.

Mourinho was a little angry, believing that Terry's foul should have been a red card.

But this time, he did not run to the fourth official in a fit of emotion as he usually did to protest.

The series of fouls seemed to disrupt Real Madrid's attacking rhythm, and in the chaos, Chelsea also began to create some opportunities.

In the 25th minute, Anelka's low shot from the left corner of the penalty area went wide of the near post.

One minute later, Kalou cut past Ramos and fired a low shot from 20 meters out, which again went wide of the right post.

Real Madrid immediately retaliated, with Lin Feng spotting Ronaldo lurking at the far post and delivering a timely cross.

Facing the incoming ball, Ronaldo didn't choose to head it; instead, he played a fancy move:
He leaned forward, bent his right leg backward, and scorpion-tailed his foot as the ball flew over his head.

He's handsome, but unfortunately his shot was brilliantly saved by Cech.

Lin Feng had already given Ronaldo a thumbs-up in preparation for praising him, but seeing that his shot missed, he turned the thumbs-up around and began to mock him mercilessly.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who was being mocked, wasn't angry; he just scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.

I don't know why, but I just wanted to do something cool, and unfortunately I messed it up.

He felt a little guilty and didn't dare to look at the coach on the sidelines, but he could guess without looking that Mourinho's face must be as black as the bottom of a pot!

When the Real Madrid players started playing around, the boos from the crowd grew even louder.

Chelsea fans felt insulted and glared at Ronaldo with hostility.

During Ronaldo's years at Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester United were locked in fierce battles in the league.

As Manchester United's star player, Cristiano Ronaldo naturally became the object of dislike by Chelsea fans.

Now this guy has gone to another team and is starting to oppose them again, and this team has already prevented them from going any further in the Champions League twice. How can Chelsea fans not hate him?
Ronaldo's actions angered the Chelsea players on the field, and he was frequently fouled by the opposing team in the following period. Although Chelsea received a lot of cards for their rash actions.

But as the victim of the violation, Ronaldo also suffered a lot.

Neither team scored in the first half. It's worth noting that due to the large number of fouls, the first half had a whopping 5 minutes of stoppage time.

This was the longest first half of extra time that Lin Feng had ever played in his professional career.

In the second half, Chelsea's players seemed to finally calm down.

Just kicking people won't win them; they need to score goals!

The three balls look hopeless, but it's not entirely impossible.

If Liverpool were able to create the Miracle of Istanbul after being down by three goals, why can't they do the same?
Ancelotti, speaking from the perspective of a victim, tearfully recounted the tragedy of that year and offered them a powerful dose of inspirational wisdom:
The gap between Liverpool and AC Milan back then was even greater than the gap in this match. If the Reds can do it, then the Blues can definitely do it too!
And you know what? Chelsea's relentless attack in the second half actually paid off.

In the 49th minute, Mascherano fouled Ballack in defense, and Drogba's powerful free kick from 28 meters out hit the underside of the crossbar and bounced into the goal!

The score is now 1-1, Chelsea have pulled one back!
This kind of goal has a large element of luck; even if Drogba had ten more chances, he probably couldn't replicate it.

But the more this happens, the more it boosts the home team's morale.

What the coach said in the locker room was actually true!

Miracles really do happen!

Doesn't that goal just now prove that even God has chosen to be on their side?
Chelsea's morale was completely ignited, and they attacked like a pack of mad dogs.

In the 62nd minute, Ballack received a pass from Kalou and unleashed a powerful low shot from 28 meters out, which deflected off Thiago Silva.

Casillas reacted quickly, making a swift block to his left and making a spectacular save.

Fortunately for Real Madrid, they had Iker Casillas, the world's best goalkeeper at the time, guarding their goal. If it had been someone else, the ball might have gone in!
Casillas, still shaken after making the save, wondered what had been going on with his opponent all this time.

He was under a lot of pressure because of those amazing shots!
Chelsea took a quick corner kick, and Drogba outjumped two defenders, Ramos and Thiago Silva, in the penalty area to head the ball towards goal from 11 meters out.

Unfortunately, he tilted it at an angle!

After landing, Ramos and his sister-in-law exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

No wonder this guy has the nickname "Warcraft Beast," his body is really strong!

During this period, Real Madrid seemed to be suppressed by their opponents.

For a long time, they hadn't launched any threatening attacks. Lin Feng knew he couldn't continue like this, because if he didn't put pressure on the opponent, they would only attack more recklessly.

He began to retreat proactively, joining the midfield sweep, disrupting the opponent's attack while also looking for opportunities to counter-attack.

Persistence pays off, and the opportunity soon presented itself.

In the 72nd minute, Chelsea substitute Mikel failed to look behind him while dribbling the ball, and Lin Feng suddenly appeared from behind and intercepted the ball.

After intercepting the ball, Lin Feng launched a counterattack on the spot. After dodging Essien's interception, he looked up and observed the positioning of his teammates in the frontcourt.

Without hesitation, he passed the ball to Ronaldo, who was making a forward run!
Actually, Benzema's position might be better, but there is a big gap in ability between the two.

However, Lin Feng clearly trusts Ronaldo more than Benzema, because Benzema has wasted many of his assists, while Ronaldo occasionally misses chances.

But compared to Benzema and Higuain, the probability of him missing a chance is much lower!
Cristiano Ronaldo did not disappoint Lin Feng's trust. He dribbled into the penalty area and cut past Carvalho's block. Just as he was about to shoot, he was tackled and brought down on the field along with the ball.

Beep!
A sharp whistle blew, and the referee rushed towards the penalty area while pointing to the penalty spot.

This was an indisputable penalty, and even Chelsea fans wouldn't question the referee's decision.

However, looking at their captain's lonely figure, their noses felt a little sore:
Chelsea's Champions League journey this season has come to an end. (End of Chapter)
