Chapter 119
"Ouch! The ball goes in!"
"Wow, so exciting!" Gao Yi jumped up excitedly after seeing Li Lei score a goal in the live broadcast room, and the barrage of comments quickly flashed across the screen.
"Li Shen is awesome ah ah!"
"The savior is here! Come on, Li Lei!!"
"Chelsea finally scored a goal. Can you calm down, Old High? Your saliva is almost flowing onto the keyboard.!"
"Li Lei is truly invincible! He is the Cristiano Ronaldo of Chelsea!"
Gao Yi danced with excitement, unable to control his excitement, causing the live broadcast screen to shake.
"Friends, our Li Lei is too strong! This wave of goals is so wonderful, that fake move, that lob, perfect! I was stunned!"
On the field, when the ball passed through the net, Li Lei finally breathed a sigh of relief, and all the pressure was released.
Turning over and lying on his back, he was surrounded by the enthusiastic cheers of fans.
The fragrance of the grass wafted into his nose, and the lights on the ceiling of the stadium shone on his face, which was extremely shining.
At this moment, Li Lei felt unprecedented relaxation and enjoyment.
All the hardships became worth it. He finally proved himself and completed the gorgeous transformation from an oriental player to the top league.
After the ball entered the net, Li Lei's teammates immediately gathered around, and everyone jumped for joy.
" Li, so nice!"
Speaking of this, several teammates rushed forward one after another, pressing Li Lei in the middle to play human pyramid.
At this time, Li Lei was pressed to the point of being unable to breathe, but he was very happy in his heart.
The players piled up together in a messy ball to celebrate their overtaking moment.
Mourinho, who was on the sidelines, saw the players celebrating happily and smiled with satisfaction.
He was also very excited at the moment when the score was overtaken, but he knew that the game was not over yet, and the most important thing now was to maintain the leading score.
So he began to arrange substitutes to play and further strengthen the defense.
Midfielder Oscar replaced Li Lei. The new player with sufficient physical strength was more impactful, which would make the defense more solid to deal with the impact of Manchester City.
With these tactical adjustments, Chelsea's overall defensive system became more rigorous, and the two midfielders Lampard and Ramires in the front court also strengthened the ball control ability.
Mourinho also kept waving his hands on the sidelines, asking the players to stay calm and work together. As long as they hold on a little longer, victory will belong to them!
The entire Chelsea team is fighting to maintain their lead. Even if Manchester City's impact comes like a wave, they can resist stubbornly and fight for their lives on the field!
Li Lei sat on the bench, clenched his hands, and stared at the fierce game on the field.
Manchester City players seemed to be desperately launching wave after wave of attacks on Chelsea's goal, but Chelsea's defense was as strong as steel under Mourinho's adjustments.
All long passes, breakthroughs and shots were resolved by them one by one.
The game entered the final stage, and every second was precious to Chelsea.
Li Lei looked up at the big screen timer in the air. Time passed by minute by minute, and he silently cheered for his teammates in his heart.
The final whistle blew, 2-1! Chelsea defeated a strong enemy at home and kept three points!
""Oh my god!!!"
Li Lei felt relieved and ran to the center of the court with his teammates to hug and celebrate.
"The game is over, and the referee blew the whistle to end the game! Let us congratulate Chelsea for winning this crucial game at home!"
In the Sky Sports live broadcast room, Keane said excitedly
"Chelsea beat Manchester City 2-1 at home thanks to a goal from new signing Li Lei, earning three valuable points!"
"More than a month ago, we were still worried about the team's scoring problem. Now the savior has come! Li Lei's first goal helped the team turn defeat into victory. It was so crucial.!"
"Throughout the game, we saw Chelsea's tenacious fighting spirit and Mourinho's precise tactical adjustments. The players' execution was in place and they finally won."
"Congratulations to the Blues! This tenacious Chelsea team has given us hope. I believe that with today's performance, they will definitely be able to challenge for the championship. Let's wait and see!"
At the post-match press conference, head coach Mourinho walked onto the stage, facing the flashlights and microphones of reporters.
"What did Li Lei's outstanding performance bring to the team? How do you evaluate his performance on the court?"
"First of all, it is worth mentioning that the new player Li Lei completed his first goal in Chelsea's debut and integrated well into the team."
"Li Lei's performance is indeed outstanding. It is a good thing that he brings competition. We will continue to observe him and strive for more playing time. Mourinho replied
"What is the team's injury situation? Which main players may miss the next game??"
"At present, the overall injury situation of the team is under control, and there are no serious injuries. Torres may need to rest and receive treatment, and may miss the next game. The other main players are in good condition and should be able to play."
"Which positions does Chelsea need to strengthen? What are the plans for the winter transfer window??"
"Our team is strong overall"
"If there is anything that needs to be improved, I think it may be the left and right forward lines."
"We will focus on these two positions in the winter transfer window. If there are players who are suitable for the team's tactical play and are reasonably priced, we will not rule out bringing them in to enhance the team's competitiveness."
The day after the game, facing Chelsea's rapid progress in the league, major British media gave positive comments one after another
《Sky Sports: Chelsea's victory proves that they are expected to challenge for the Premier League title this season. New player Li Lei became famous in one battle and solved the team's goal shortage in the first half. Head coach Mourinho's tactical adjustment was also in place.
《Daily Mirror: Li Lei's joining has given Chelsea the strength to challenge for the championship. Under Mourinho's leadership, the Blues have a tenacious fighting spirit and excellent execution. They have the potential to become a dark horse in the Premier League.
《The Sun: Chelsea's big win shows the team's progress, especially the outstanding performance of new player Li Lei, who may be the last piece of the puzzle needed for the team to win the championship
《Daily Mail: Li Lei became famous in one game and completed his first international goal in the Premier League. This shows that Chelsea has introduced an excellent new player, their lineup is stronger, and the dream of winning the championship is closer to them.
The players were given a day off today, but the head coach Mourinho did not rest.
The media's praise���It did not bring him any satisfaction. On the contrary, as the league entered a white-hot stage in November, more and more games drained the players' physical strength.
Injuries have seriously affected the team's condition.
Many main players on the defensive and offensive lines have gradually suffered ligament injuries and muscle strains as the amount of battles increased.
The young players on the bench are too immature to quickly take over the starting position.
Mourinho frowned. The team is currently facing a severe shortage of personnel. The intensive schedule makes the injury problem more prominent, and the reserve force needs to be strengthened.
