Chapter 246: Come on, Crewe(2/4)
Bonela passed the football directly from the backcourt to the frontcourt. Zhang Jun jumped high and rushed forward Diyala and pushed the football back. The target happened to be Cru who ran up.
Since Krue played Ruben and Diyala in public, as long as he got the ball, the booing of Stamford Bridge was overwhelming. It was very similar to the feeling they had gone to Camp Nou in the last round, but the booing object was changed from Zhang Jun to Crue.
Facing the air ball that Zhang Jun pushed back, Kru did not stop and use his feet to stop the ball, but directly hit the ball forward with his chest and then rushed over.
Diyala followed Zhang Jun, and Lampard naturally shouldered the responsibility of stopping Krue from continuing to make breakthroughs.
He reached out to La Crewe, facing his former teammates, he was not vague at all. Who made Crew threatened? If he didn't use his hands, he might not have any hope of success. Lampard was even ready to foul the necessary moments.
He doesn't hate Krue. He knows Krue's background, so it can be said that he still has a little sympathy for Krue. But now it's a Champions League game, and they each have their own goals, so they naturally have to compete against each other.
Cruenen felt Lampard's hands stomping on his shoulders because he couldn't run.
Since you can't get through with your strength, you can only rely on your personal skills.
Cruben planned to pass the ball, but as soon as he looked up, he saw Zhang Jun being blocked by Terry and Diyala. If it was passed rashly, it would have been a loss. And if it wanted to find someone else, Lampard didn't give him so much time.
Seeing Kru looked up and looked for someone, he knew that it was time to intercept the ball, so he tightened his feet and stabbed the football.
Crew felt the danger, but he did not look down to find where the danger came from. Instead, he moved the ball outward along Lampard's foot, causing the opponent to lose.
Lampard staggered, but his hand holding Crew's clothes did not let go, so he barely maintained his balance and did not fall out - the ground was too slippery.
But Cru was beaten by his body and could not continue to break through. In fact, when Lampard brought his body aside, he wanted to fall down. Just like he had done it countless times in the past, he used the rules to earn a frontcourt free kick for the team, and this position was very suitable for Zhang Jun's direct free kick.
But after a moment, he changed his attention. He suddenly didn't want to rely on these clever tricks to win the game for himself. He wanted to win the opponent with a dignified victory in the confrontation.
So he used force to thrust his upper body, stabbing his body, and then he stumbled forward by Lampard. The football was still under his feet. Lampard let go of his hand - if he didn't let go, he would be called a foul - and re-intercept Crew.
Hut also rushed over from the opposite side, hoping to intercept him head-on.
Chelsea fans must believe that there are two Chelsea players who are chasing each other, and even if Krew has wings, he will not be able to successfully run out.
But they were wrong.
Facing Hut, who was tall and big but had unstable center of gravity, Kru's center of gravity was slightly sunk. Hut, who was shaking with a simple bicycle movement, did not distinguish between south and north. He himself knew that it would not work to shake like this, so he simply shoveled at Krut, trying to block his shot.
Just as he stepped on his feet, Cru gently tweaked the football outside, just now dodging Hut's feet. At the same time, Lampard couldn't dodge and tripped by Hut who was lying on the ground and fell to the ground.
He got rid of two defensive players in an instant, and Cru had already entered the penalty area.
Boo!
Cech decided to abandon the goal and as a teammate, he knew that Krue's shooting skills were no less than the striker.
He had just taken two steps, and Crue shot with a small angle!
The shooting range is very large, and the football shot looks like it will be powerful, and the volleyball shot during running is the greatest possible shot in the air.
Cech stretched upwards, but found that the football did not appear at the position he expected, but rolled quickly between his legs against the grass!
He hurriedly fell down, and at this time he could no longer care about technical movements. Even if he sat down, he would be willing to sit on the ball.
British scientists have long proved through calculations and analysis that the speed of football rolling forward against the ground is greater than the speed of human body's center of gravity shifting downward.
So Kru's ball was in front of Cech's butt and passed between his legs and rolled directly into the goal behind him!
The turf that had been trampled into mud in front of the goal could not slow down the ball, which shows how powerful the ball should be!
In the 34th minute of the first half, Fiorentina took the lead 1:0!
"Ohyes!! Cru Lee! He scored the goal of the former club, a beautiful solo performance! Fiorentina tied the total score to 2:1! They are now ahead of Chelsea!"
After scoring the goal, Krew ignored Zhang Jun's intention to come up to celebrate and ran directly behind the goal, under the stands of the Chelsea fans, then flew up and stomped on the billboard, then kicked one, two, and three. He kicked three times before stopping, looking at the blue Chelsea fans in the stands, and raised his head provocatively.
Although he didn't say anything in the whole process, he already understood the meaning: Come on, don't you hate me? I just stood here and scored your goals. If you have the ability, you can get down! If you can't get down, just watch it, watch me slap you with the goal!
What is the answer to Krue?
Boo and countless middle fingers.
But Kru didn't care, so he sniffed, then turned around and hugged Zhang Jun with the excited Zhang Jun.
※※※
When he saw Kru scored, the person who was most happy was not Zhang Jun or his other teammates, but Sabato on the sidelines. He jumped three feet high, and was so excited that he scored the ball.
Like him, there are Fiorentina's coaching staff and substitutes. Because Crew's goal allowed them to lead Chelsea away, they led Chelsea in the total score, and they also had an away goal. The last one was the most important. The conditions that originally gave Chelsea an advantage were gone at once. Both sides scored the same away goals, and Fiorentina is likely to continue scoring.
Compared with the joyful atmosphere in Florence, Chelsea was dead. Mourinho chewed gum with a slut, and the substitutes couldn't do anything except hold their heads.
The members of the coaching team put their heads together and probably discussed how to adjust the tactics when they were on the court. Now that the situation has changed, the tactics originally formulated have been scrapped.
The celebration after the goal passed quickly and the game started again. Without Mourinho's instructions, Chelsea players have consciously strengthened their marking of Kreu.
Generally speaking, Kru will face two people's guards, and sometimes even three people surround him at the same time.
This made him a big problem with passing the ball. But Crew didn't care. He felt that this was his attention to him and made him more interested in playing with Chelsea.
Even if he was stolen because of this, he would not feel angry.
So Cruy attracted the attention of three Chelsea players alone in the midfield. The pressure on other Fiorentina players was immediately relieved, such as Gas Baroni and Joaquin.
Cru was surrounded by Diyala and Lampard again, but he used his skills to protect the ball from being surrounded by the two people. Unless the opponent fouls, don't try to easily cut off his ball.
After attracting two defensive players, Cruy saw Ruben, who was defending Joaquin, approached him, and immediately passed through the gap between the two people, and then accurately sent it to Joaquin's feet.
When Joaquin received the ball, there was no one in front, back, left and right, which allowed him to play freely. So this time he did not cross from the bottom, but cut inside, and it seemed that he was going to shoot directly.
Chelsea's left defender Hono hurriedly came up to block it, but Joaquin hit it hard and then passed the football across.
The one who received the ball was Cruy who inserted it!
Before Cru had to wait for the football to stop, he would shoot vigorously!
The football drew an arc and slightly off the goal, but it also made Chelsea fans sweat.
In this game, Kru even added Zhang Jun to the shooting statistics. It can be seen how active he is.

At the end of the first half, Fiorentina led 1:0 and had the advantage. During the halftime break, Sabato walked back to the locker room with a smile. Mourinho had a dark face and went back early. Chelsea players also lowered their heads when they left the court. They knew that they played poorly in the first half, and what was waiting for them during the halftime break was Mourinho's scolding like a storm.
When Krue was leaving, he still heard a huge boo, especially when he approached the passage, the boo was even louder, and in addition to the boo, there were also various scoldings.
Zhang Jun quickly ran a few steps, hoping to drag Kru away before he got angry and raised his middle finger.
Unexpectedly, Cru just looked up at the fans who booed him, then smiled and shook his head, then lowered his head and walked into the passage.
Seeing Kru's reaction, Zhang Jun was a little stunned. His hand was awkwardly stretched into the air and caught nothing, so he had to reach back and scratch his head to cover it up.
Maybe he had enough of scoring goals and kicking the billboard.
In the locker room, Sabato kept patting Krue on the shoulder, praising him for his outstanding performance in the first half. His teammates also congratulated Krue one after another. He still accepted everyone's congratulations expressionlessly, without saying a word: "Thank you."
However, the teammates were used to Cruel's attitude, so they didn't care. Everyone was in a good mood, joking and chatting with each other. Chelsea was completely suppressed by them, and the game was very easy.
The atmosphere in the Chelsea locker room on the other side is not so relaxed.
Everyone lowered their heads and remained silent because their head coach Mourinho had just made a fuss. The one who scolded the most was the midfielder. Mourinho believed that the first half was so bad because the midfield could not control the situation and was too weak, which made Fiorentina mess up.
"In the second half, you must get the initiative back! Like in the first half, we will not play in this game. The ones that are most affected by the field should be them, not us! Get the ball quickly, run quickly! Make the rhythm!"
※※※
Zhang Jun sat next to Krue and whispered to him: "Actually, I admired you very much just now."
"how?"
"Because you didn't give the middle finger to those fans, I heard it very clearly. They even insulted your parents."
Cru smiled again: "I was tired of hearing what they scolded three years ago. If I gave them a middle finger, I would be suspended. It was an obvious trap. I would not be stupid enough to take the initiative to drill. They could only scold me, and I had no loss. And I continued to score goals and performed well, then they would be the ones who suffered the loss in the end."
After listening to Kru's analysis, Zhang Jun had to admire him. No wonder Erikson said that Kru was the most talented midfielder he had ever seen. In addition to being young and impulsive when he first debuted, he is becoming more and more calm and steady now - of course, some people say that it is gloomy and depressing.
After Kreu's father just passed away, some media once revealed that Kreu had been depressed, which scared many Chinese fans at that time.
Unexpectedly, almost every home game, Crew had to have a fight with Chelsea fans. Not only did he fight with the fans, but he fought with the opponent and the referee, and he had endless fun. Looking at his crazy attitude, people didn't want to suffer from depression at all, but later people thought that the media who said he had depression were farting.
Zhang Jun even disbelief Cru had depression. A strange personality does not mean depression. After Cru came to Florence, he firmly believed it.
He still remembers that day he accompanied Kru to the sanatorium and saw Kru crying with his own eyes. Even wearing sunglasses, he could not stop the tears from falling from behind the sunglasses. Kru was not depressed, but no one could let him vent his feelings in person.
He had never seen Crue cry, and he thought no one else had seen it. Who would have thought that the cold-blooded and ruthless person on the court would have such a weak side?
Today's game is so important for Krue. He cannot lose, and cannot show weakness in front of the fans who mocked and insulted him. Therefore, he worked so hard that Zhang Jun was willing to let Krue be the protagonist and he was a supporting role.
Thinking of this, Zhang Jun came back to his senses and patted Kru: "Come on, the second half."
Kru just nodded and closed his eyes to regain his energy.
Sabato continued to talk in front of him, and Cru did not care about this. He had a clear idea about Chelsea. He also knew that Sabato was just those things, insisting on the tactics of the first half and chaoticing the opponent's rhythm... If the situation was good during the halftime break, he would probably boost morale. The morale-boosting things were ineffective for Cru, and he didn't realize that he had any morale to encourage. So it was the same whether he listened or not.

When the commentator and the special guest went out to have a cup of hot coffee and then returned to the live room to prepare for work, they complained that the fifteen-minute intermission was too short.
Players on both sides would never think so. Fiorentina players thought that the rest time was too long, which made their bodies cool down. Chelsea players also thought that the time was too long because they couldn't wait to prove themselves in the second half and defeat Fiorentina.
Everyone thinks that it is themselves who can advance to the next round of the Champions League.
The rain has not stopped, nor has it been bigger or smaller. What it was like at the beginning and what it was now.
The players stepped onto the stadium in the rain.
To be continued...
