Chapter 118 Premier League Years Champions Cup debut ([-])

Entering the visiting team's locker room without any delay, Grant quickly made the final tactical arrangements for the starting lineup on the tactical board. Although he had explained in detail before, the Israelis were still worried and decided to do it again! !

Uh... I have to say, one can imagine how much Sir Ferguson's words had affected Grant.

"Andre, their right back like Lakov likes to put in assists, you have to use your speed and focus on this road!!"

Xiang Nan nodded, expressing his understanding.

"Didier, their central defender, Julio Cesar is not strong in air defense, and his turn is a bit slow, you have to remember!!"

...

After arranging the final tactical arrangement, Grant didn't say anything more. Now, the coach has done everything that the coach can do, and the rest depends on how the players perform on the field and implement the tactical intentions.

Terry glanced at the team's head coach, Grant signaled nothing, Chelsea captain stood up, clapped his hands loudly, 'Okay, everyone come here! ! '

Everyone stood up, including the players on the bench. Everyone put their shoulders on each other and formed a circle. The Chelsea captain looked at everyone——
At this moment, Xiang Nan only felt that the blood in his body was about to burst from his veins! !
Chelsea captain suddenly shouted: 'Chelsea! ! ! '

Everyone shouted in unison: We must win! !

Victory! !
Victory! !
Then, with a wave of Terry's big hand, everyone rushed towards the door of the locker room, and the real battle was about to begin! !
Standing in the player channel of the dressing room to the south, you can already hear the huge noise of the Kala Iskaki Stadium. For a player who is full of love for football since childhood, this sound is the clarion call of battle! !
A true fighter! !

Burning passion! !

*******
"The capacity of the Kala Iskaki Stadium is 33334 people, and now there are no empty seats. It is conceivable that all the Le Pire men have come to the Kala Iskaki Stadium within a radius of 2 miles." Mr. Wilson said as Sky Sports' designated commentator for Chelsea's game broadcast this season, also came to the game scene with his partner Lineker.

Uh... Fortunately, Mr. Wilson is already old and unable to do what he wants, so he didn't worry about those beautiful women in Athens who stayed at home! !
"The strength of Olympiacos is not weak!! Can emerge from the death group, absolutely not to be ignored by Chelsea!!" Lineker was also infected by the crazy atmosphere at the scene. Thinking of today's home team, he couldn't help expressing emotion.

At this moment, amidst the tsunami-like cheers at the Kara Iskaki Stadium, players from both sides began to enter the field.

"The players from both sides have entered the field. Let's first look at the starting lineups of both sides. Olympiakos adopted a 4-5-1 formation. The goalkeeper is Nikopolidis, and the four defenders are Zhurakov, Hu Leo Cesar, Anchas and Pantos midfielder are Ledesma, Torosidis, Stortidis, Galetti, Djojjevic; The striker is Kovacevic"

"Chelsea's starting lineup adopts a traditional 4-4-2 formation. Cech is still the goalkeeper. On the back line, Chelsea captain Terry appeared in the starting lineup with an injury. It seems that Grant attaches great importance to the game. , the other three defenders are Belletti, Carvalho and the best candidate for left back Ashley Cole; in the midfield, Ballack replaced Lampard in the starting lineup, and the others are Essien, Makelele and Malouda, continue to use the striker combination of Andre and Drogba."

Olympiacos head coach Panagiotis-Lemoins (PANAGIOTIS-LEMOINS) clasped his hands and watched his players doing the final warm-up. The game is about to start, facing the giants from the Premier League, Lemoins Don't be nervous at all, you know, this is a good opportunity for Mr. Lemonis to make a name for himself. This season he led Olympiacos to the top 16 of the Champions League. His name has been well-received throughout Europe. It’s hard to say, the next season on the coaching bench next season will be him, and he is much better than that Israeli! !
Mr. Lemonis glanced at it, and Grant, who was not far away in a suit and leather shoes, snorted heavily in his nostrils...

Uh... I have to say, Mr. Lemonis is really a guy with rich imagination! !
Well, God be my witness, I don't know if Mr. Lemonis has heard such a sentence, 'Exaggerated imagination is synonymous with mental disorder...'! !

*******
Xiang Nan stood near the middle circle, looking straight at the home team's goal, there was his goal! !
Well, I have to say, if there is really a legendary orgasm point, it must be there, it is the 'orgasm point' that makes Xiang Nan convulse! !
Olympiacos' lone striker, Kovacevic, always feels that the Chelsea number 9 opposite him is staring straight at him, making him panic. This damn number 9, doesn't he know that I am Kovacevic? Uncle's name? ! !
Dudu! !
With the referee's whistle, the 2007-2008 UEFA Champions League round of one-eighth knockout, Olympiacos vs. Chelsea began! ! !

Chelsea kicked off first.

Drogba tapped lightly, and the ball returned to Malouda's feet, and Malouda directly passed the ball to Ballack's feet behind him——
Ballack took the ball for two steps, observed it, and passed the ball to Xiangnan who advanced forward.

After Xiangnan received Ballack's pass, he took advantage of the trend and was about to accelerate forward when he suddenly saw Ledesma rushing towards him like a drugged bull——
Xiang Nan looked at his jersey, blue, when did the Bulls stop loving red flowers and blue sky? ! !

Without hesitation, Xiang Nan pulled the ball to the right, turned around halfway, and then rubbed it with his left foot. The ball obediently flew towards Drogba at the far end. After doing all this, Xiang Nan had another follow-up action ,That is---
Jump up now! !
Ledesma's flying shovel had come over, and Xiangnan even saw that Lemonis' half-and-a-half nailed on the turf, leaving a deep scratch! ! !

Since Xiangnan was pressed by Ledesma, he passed the ball in a hurry in order not to be injured, so the quality of the pass was not good, and the defender of Olympiacos headed the ball out of the sideline.

Throwing the ball out of bounds, Drogba leaned against Rukoff, controlled the ball, exerted his strength suddenly, turned around halfway, and was about to dribble the ball into the penalty area, but was caught by Rukoff's vicious tackle on the ground, and the ball was thrown away. Shovel out the bottom line! !
...

This is a microcosm of the nearly 20-minute game in the first half. The Olympiacos people fully demonstrated what it means to fight for every inch of land! !

"Do the people of Olympiacos think this is a fortress battle in World War II? This is a great insult to the art of football!!" Mr. Wilson couldn't help it, and couldn't help complaining.

Uh... I believe that the Greeks will definitely sneer when they hear Mr. Wilson's remarks——
Art football in England? ! !

However, I believe that the game has reached this point, except for the Olympiacos fans at the scene, whether they are Chelsea fans or neutral fans, they can't stand it anymore. The neutral fans are dozing off, and the Chelsea fans are against Olympiacos. This kind of destructive tactics expressed strong dissatisfaction! !

It's 23 minutes into the game, and Xiangnan hasn't had any threatening shots yet. Olympiacos' right back who loves assists like Lakoff, is like a Grandet today, sticking to the half court, absolutely not It will overwhelm and assist the midfielder, which also makes Xiangnan's speed advantage not much room to play.

Grant looked at the situation on the field with a stern expression. He did not expect that Olympiacos would put on such a defensive posture in his home court! !
Xiangnan received a pass from Malouda, looked up at Ledesma who was defending him closely, and looked at the big man with cold eyes.

As for close defense, Xiang Nan has experienced countless times now. He has become mature from being at a loss and annoyed at the beginning! !

On the pitch, it's cowardly to be annoyed at being forced by an opponent! !
In this case, using your feet to make your opponent completely collapse in front of your goal is the greatest pride of a striker! !
Without the slightest hesitation, Xiangnan passed the ball to Makelele behind him and ran towards the frontcourt! !

Xiang Nan kept running and changing his position. Although he didn't get rid of Ledesma, Xiang Nan still enjoyed it, because he knew that this big man would make a mistake, and at that time , is the moment to burn your passion, this is the responsibility of the shooter! !
One hit kills! !

See blood seal throat! !
After Makelele received the pass to the south, he did not pass the ball as before, but took the ball towards Ledesma's defensive area——
"My God!! Cycling!! What did we see, Makelele was cycling in front of Lemonis, God, you can imagine such a situation, as if I saw a South African baboon Like swimming naked in the Pacific…”

Uh...God testify, Mr. Wilson's analogy is really not very good! !

Ledesma was obviously also irritated by Makelele's action, cursing, 'Fuck, Frenchman, who do you think you are? ! '

'Ronaldinho?Or a circus clown! ! '

Uh... I have to say that Ledesma is really a guy with a lot of self-esteem! ! .
Just at this time…
