"Ai!"
Lineker chanted as Aiello appeared in the shot.
However, the football missed the post and his voice also dropped: "Oh, what a pity.
If it had been one ball to the left, then the ball would have gone in."
Accompanied by exclamations erupting from the stands, Aiello gave a thumbs up to Drogba, who was playing the ball, to express his gratitude.
"Aiello's performance was very calm.
He did not feel discouraged because the first shot missed by a hair in the opening game.
Instead, he immediately gave a thumbs up to Drogba who set the ball for him.
He was able to stand in front of 90,000 home team fans.
It’s awesome to maintain such a state of mind despite the boos.”
He Wei looked at Ai Luo in the camera and said excitedly.
After Ai Luo expressed his gratitude, he did not quickly return to his own half.
Instead, he followed Mourinho's arrangement before the game and stood on the left side of the attack.
Drogba stood on the right side of the attack, followed by Lampard.
Xavi, to prevent goalkeeper Valdez's short pass.
Forced to have no choice, Valdes had to choose to kick the ball forward.
The result is obvious.
Except for the height of Yaya Toure and Henry, who can beat the height of Chelsea players, other positions are at an absolute disadvantage when competing for the top.
He overpowered Eto'o and passed the ball to Mikel, who used his height and strength to resist Iniesta, and then passed the ball to the unmarked Aya on the left before Yaya Toure could grab it.
Shricole gave Chelsea continuous possession of the ball.
Guardiola, who was standing off the court, frowned as he watched Chelsea's tactical changes.
Aiello, Drogba and Lampard stood in the half court to squeeze the kick-off space in the backcourt and get the opportunity to continuously attack forward, so he Curiously, he turned his head and glanced at Mourinho, who was sitting on the coaching bench with his legs crossed.
Sure enough, ginger is still spicy.
But we want to limit our attack so easily Too naive Guardiola returned his attention to the court, nervously watching every highlight that happened on the court, and from time to time using gestures to warn the players on the court how to adjust.
Two minutes later, Messi got a chance to challenge Ashley Cole on the right.
He used his ability to combine the ball to make the latter unable to find the way.
Then suddenly he passed the ball sideways with the outside of his left foot and cut inside.
Mikel quickly caught up with the defense, trying to interfere with Messi who continued to dribble the ball, but Messi's sideways pass was just to attract the defensive attention.
The arch of his left foot pushed the ball to Eto'o.
Then he continued to move laterally, but Mikel ran too fast.
Like Yaya Toure before, he was unable to turn around at the same time as the 17-meter Messi due to his height, and watched helplessly as the opponent ran past behind him.
Eto'o, who seemed ready to take the ball directly from Chelsea's defensive left rib, chose to pass the ball to Messi, who was moving laterally, with the outside of his right foot.
Messi swung his left foot at the top of the arc in the penalty area to hit the ball.
Terry subconsciously fell to the ground to block it, but he did not shoot.
Instead, he passed the ball with the outside instep of his left foot past Terry's blocking angle.
He raised his left foot again and hit a curve ball.
Fortunately, Cech's concentration was very concentrated, coupled with his height and long arms, he directly jumped sideways and firmly hugged the football in mid-air.
"Oh oh oh" Chelsea TV commentator Clive Walker cheered for Cech's wonderful save.
When Aiello got a chance two minutes ago, Barcelona goalkeeper Valdesmao didn't touch it.
But when Messi got the same chance as Aiello, Cech held the ball firmly and shot from the same position.
The goalkeeper couldn't The same performance made the Chelsea fans at the scene cheer.
Even if they knew that the sound could not be transmitted to the players' ears, they chose to do so without hesitation.
Ten minutes into the game, Barcelona, which was playing at home, changed its strategy and gradually took the initiative on the court through aggressive high-position pressing.
Their pass-and-control football slowly controlled the rhythm of the game, whether it was offensive or defensive.
Although Barcelona's midfielder has a certain degree of defensive hardness in addition to Yaya Toure, Xavi and Iniesta are more like help defenders, but with the overall cutting of Chelsea's passing angles and high press, It was hard for the Chelsea players on the field to adapt.

From the start of the first half to the 20th minute, the ball possession ratio between the home and away teams was almost close to 73 points.
Therefore, Mourinho, who was still sitting comfortably on the coaching bench ten minutes before the start of the game, could not sit still.
He stood on the sidelines and used frequent gestures and signals to advise the team, but he was still concerned about the situation on the field.
It didn't help that Barcelona under Guardiola upgraded tikitaka
More aggressive and controlling.
Coupled with the fact that the two ribs have passing masters like Xavi and Iniesta arranging the direction of attack, Chelsea's defense is frequently in trouble.
And Aiello has not received the football for more than five minutes on the court.
Now, whether it is Lampard or Ballack, when faced with a joint high press from two or even three people, it is often easy to lose the football.
They pass long and short passes and control.
The rhythm is excellent, but the technique is not delicate enough Chelsea's midfield lacks a midfielder with fine skills and the ability to hold the ball Modric, who is sitting on the bench, is this type of player, but the game has only lasted for more than 20 minutes.
Substitution is obviously not a wise choice now, so for Mourinho, he can only wait.
Barcelona took the initiative on the court, and the fans in the stands happily cheered for the team, and the cheers grew louder and louder.
More than 20 minutes into the game, Barcelona had the advantage, but Messi was not happy because he did not get a decent opportunity during this period.
While the team had the advantage, it also devoured his living space.
Chelsea His defense line was compressed very compactly by Barcelona's offensive line, which meant that his inward scoring route was completely cut off.
Even though Iniesta consciously strengthened his support for Messi, he was helpless because of the stability of Chelsea's defense.
Every time he passed the ball, there would always be a Chelsea player who ran to the defensive position just right to defend.
In this case, another ten minutes passed.
At this time, the broadcaster once again showed the ball possession ratio between the two sides.
Lineker shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Barcelona's ball possession rate at home has exceeded 70%.
It can be said that they have the full initiative, but fortunately Chelsea The defenders were very focused and did not lose focus, making Harvey's passes more of a cross pass than a direct pass."
The local Italian commentator sighed and said: "Barcelona's excessive ball possession did not help them break the deadlock, but instead seemed to have entered a dead end."
If England head coach Capello was present, he would definitely pout and say: "Excessive ball possession will seriously delay the team's overall movement speed, and will also allow the opponent to have more preparations."
However, a commentator in Catalonia had a different view: "Barcelona coached by Guardiola is obviously much better than Rijkaard's last season, and there are more echoes between the players.
The full-backs are more bold to assist forward, and after losing the ball, they will always fight back on the spot to organize a second attack."
Guardiola stood on the sidelines with his arms folded across his chest.
He was quite satisfied with the team's offense during this period.
Although he had not scored a goal yet, he believed that it was only a matter of time.
A few more minutes of the game passed.
During this period, Chelsea had two offensive opportunities.
Cech did not pass the transition through the midfielders immediately after getting the ball, and directly threw the ball and made a long pass to find Ai Luo. , Alves, who defends Aiello, is not as tall or physically strong as Aiello, so Aiello has a great advantage in the counterattack and can control the football steadily and wait for the support of his teammates.
And often at this time, Barcelona's defenders will always bring Aiello to the ground just to be on the safe side.
But this choice just fits Chelsea's tactics before the end of the first half, because it can reduce the time for the football to pass through the midfield, and can also directly organize the attack in the frontcourt, reducing many unnecessary mistakes.
In the 38th minute, the active Eto'o followed Mikel from the 30-meter area of Chelsea's defense to the midline.
He also won a burst of cheers from the stands and intercepted the ball through Yaya Toure.
The football was Nesta got it and launched a counterattack on the spot.
Terry saw that the two defensive midfielders Ballack and Mikel were not in his defense zone, so he simply moved his position and tried to steal Iniesta who was immersed in dribbling the ball.
At the same time, he also paid attention to the relationship between the latter and Messi who was receiving the ball. echo between.
Sure enough, Iniesta passed the ball to Messi with the outside instep of his right foot.
After receiving the ball, the latter faced the direction of the goal.
However, he did not want to take the ball and shoot, but wanted to pass the ball forward with the outside instep of his left foot.
There was space behind Terry, but Terry had already taken precautions and kicked the ball towards the left rib of his own defense.
Alves and Ashley Cole rushed towards the football at the same time.
The former took advantage of the closer distance to poke the ball forward, but what he didn't expect was that the football just hit the arch of Ashley Cole's right foot.
Rolling towards the front court without any rules.

Mikel, who had made a mistake before, used his right foot to smash the ball toward the left sideline, then swung away from the angle and drove the ball directly to the frontcourt with his left foot.
Aiello subconsciously turned around and ran.
Max got stuck and gave the ball away.
The ball bounced to the left ribs 40 meters away from the baseline.
This allowed Aiello to see the opportunity to intercept the ball and immediately increased his speed.
To the extreme.
"Give me the ball" Seeing that Aiello was chasing closely, Valdez reminded Max loudly to avoid unnecessary mistakes.
At the same time, Max already felt that Aiello was catching up from behind on the right side, so he quickly passed the ball to Valdes with the outside instep of his right foot.
Half a second later, the Catalan commentator exclaimed: "Ouch, the return power is too low."
"Oh oh oh opportunity" the commentators supporting Chelsea shouted in unison
