Chelsea eliminated last season's Ligue 1 champions Lille 2-1 in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, and the opponent's home battle still caused some trouble for the Blues, and because Jorginho sent a penalty in the penalty area, Lille took a one-goal lead, and the subsequent attack also threatened the Blues' goal. The slow-motion replay of the handball in Zoginho's penalty area was not intentional, but the referee took a penalty, and the team could only strengthen the attack to make up for the mistake. The key moment is still Jorginho will make up for it, captain Azpilicueta scored the winning goal to help the team advance to the quarter-finals, and Chelsea's bloody temperament is still the key word this morning.
Lille shot 8 shots on goal, 1 shot on target, 4 corners, 2 saves, 6 offsides, the team lost 0-2 in the first leg to Chelsea, and the second leg was indeed more desperate and threatening, so Chelsea's promotion battle also had gold content. Coincidentally, Chelsea also had 6 offsides in the last round of the 1-0 league match against Newcastle, which shows that the Blues are good at setting offside traps for opponents, and this deployment also makes some of the opponent's attacks fruitless.
Chelsea have 8 shots on goal and 3 shots on target in this game, can score 2 goals is also an efficient performance, the role of captain Azpilicueta in the game is obvious, although the veteran may wave away from the Blue Bridge after this season, but this season can help the team through the most difficult period is also a rare experience, if it is not for the La Liga team's repeated requests, the Blue Army Captain may hang up his boots at the Blue Bridge, because from the performance of this season, his performance has not weakened due to the increase in age.
The first goal of the match was an interception from Zoginho, then he passed to Azpilicueta, followed by a series of passes by Rudiger and Alonso, who finally gave the ball to Jorginho, who assisted Pulisic with a precise straight ball. Neither the goalkeeper nor the defenders thought the Blues would shoot directly at goal, and Pulisic was extremely confident. Pulisic has been affected by injuries for a while this season, and after returning from injury, it has also been considered to be less offensively efficient, but fortunately his recent state has picked up, this game is also a skill, his small angle shot is extremely beautiful and tricky, so The Lille goalkeeper can not resolve this crisis.
In this game, Chelsea not only faced the pressure of away play, but also the impact of Christensen's unexpected injury in the 33rd minute, and It was a bit difficult for Chaloba to come off the bench without warming up. Lille also seized the opportunity, breaking through from Chaloba's side to win a well-placed set-piece opportunity, during which time Chelsea also had some passivity. It is worth mentioning that Chelsea used the penalty to take the lead five minutes after this unexpected substitution, and the manager also responded to such a situation. The equaliser at the end of the first half was also an opportunity created by several core players, and the second half was the result of the manager's response.
Chelsea's coaching at Tuchel has been winning this season, and although the process of some games is difficult, the team has won some undesirable games, the ability to abuse dishes has also improved, and two cup trophies have been won at the beginning of the season and the middle of the season, so this season is a multi-faceted test for Chelsea, and it will also be rewarding. The Blues have also won many games in the second half this season, but Tuchel did not change people at the beginning of the second half of this game, because he believed that the starting point could be reversed, and when the team led 2-1, he made two personnel adjustments three minutes later. Tuchel replaced Jorginho and Pulisic with Lukaku and Zik, etc., and the replacement of the hero is also unexpected, which is also hoping that the core players will save their physical fitness, Jorginho has started two consecutive games and should indeed give a rest, it can be seen that the manager has begun to prepare for the weekend league.
Chelsea won the Champions League against Lille 2-1, and this season eliminated their opponents 2-0, 2-1 to advance, and the process of winning was relatively easy. Chelsea won the first leg of the Champions League and basically qualified. The previous 12 first leg wins, 10 of which were advanced, so the score of the first leg in the subsequent matches is also important. It is worth mentioning that this game Tuchel's 50 Champions League commemorations, it is also very meaningful to win, because he led different teams to 32 wins in 50 Champions League games, and after the match also successfully surpassed Zidane's previous record of 50 Champions League wins of 31 games.
After this match, the Champions League quarter-finals were produced, namely Chelsea, Manchester City, Liverpool, Atletico, Real Madrid, Villarreal, Benfica and Bayern, which can be seen that this season is a competition between La Liga and the Premier League, because three teams from each of the two major leagues have advanced, one team each in the Bundesliga and the Portuguese Super League, and all the Teams in Serie A and Ligue 1 are out, including popular teams such as Juve and Paris. The quarter-finals will be drawn in Nyon, Switzerland, on 18 March, this time there is no circumvention of the principle, it is expected that UEFA will make the Premier League teams civil war, of course, La Liga teams may also meet directly, Bayern's signing has always been good, may also draw weak teams, Chelsea should prefer to meet other league teams, of course, not too early to touch Bayern is the best.
