Chapter 467: Spikes on the Shield (Daily Transition)

Leader's aura!

Overbearing aura!

Mr. Golden Ball used a world-shaking heavy cannon, shaking the mountain and startling the tiger!

Prince's Park Stadium seemed to tremble lightly.

Paris Saint-Germain, trailing by one goal, must sound the alarm and refocus on the essence of the match.

The commentator's tone was a bit forced.

If it were Morata who hit the crossbar, they definitely wouldn't be using these lines.

VIP box.

The décor layout was copied from the A380 sky lounge.

A group of turban-wearing Qataris stared at Chelsea's number 10 on the pitch, whispering nonstop.

Their gaze was like that of a mother-in-law first seeing her son-in-law.

Friends and family stands.

Rabiot's mother, hands on hips, angrily cursed Emery and the Paris players.

Why take off my son!

My son's performance is far better than anyone else's!

A bunch of trash! All trash!

She had once sent these classic lines to the France national team coach, Deschamps.

Immediately after.

Neymar's father and Mbappé's family actively 'responded'.

Instantly fell into chaos.

Goalkeeper Areola received the ball.

He is also of pure Asian descent, with both parents Filipino.

A product of Paris's own youth academy.

He was once the most promising youngster in the goalkeeper position in FM2010.

Two years ago, on loan to La Liga powerhouse Villarreal, he helped the team achieve a fourth-place league finish and a Champions League semifinal appearance, with clean sheets second only to Oblak, and set the club's record for longest consecutive minutes without conceding a goal.

Fans jokingly said: The French team is not just a plantation style of play, but also has a Filipina maid.

Don't rush, there's still plenty of time.

Transition to Chelsea's half.

Give the ball to Di María again.

Di María, since leaving Real Madrid, has gradually faded from the public's view.

Over four consecutive seasons, the 'stats' have plummeted significantly, not a decline in form.

In Ligue 1's easy-win matches, they don't like to pad the stats.

In Champions League matches, he's overly selfless; the coaching staff mostly assigns him 'midfield transitional passing' tasks.

During this period, fans called him a 'fallen angel.'

Especially after Neymar and Mbappé joined.

The Argentine angel often serves as a 'propeller' in crucial battles.

Facing Bakayoko's interception.

Di María slowed his speed.

His body twisted like a noodle.

A small hop-step.

A strong shift of weight.

In an instant, his whole body jumped from the left side of the ball to the right side.

He fiercely flicked the ball with the outside of his left foot.

Bakayoko quickly adjusted his center of gravity!

His mind caught up.

He couldn't adjust his center of gravity in time!

Di María readjusted his center of gravity again!

Pap—!

Bakayoko did a split, sitting on the grass.

If it weren't for the quality of the shorts, the viewers would have gotten an eyeful in no time.

In a brief instant, the two completed a continuous center-of-gravity battle!

The spectators didn't even have time to see what happened!

It's over!

His body is just like a noodle!

Di María!

Sorcery-style dribble!

Wow!

Before Kanté could get into position to cover, Di María lofted a ground-pass with the outside of his foot, tearing through Chelsea's midfield line!

Neymar!

Neymar had already silently shifted to central position!

He laid off the ball with his back to goal.

He turned and accelerated.

He charged straight into Chelsea's defense!

He joined Paris Saint-Germain to be the core, to win the Ballon d'Or!

"Agile and simple ball‑control technique!"

"He got past one!"

"He got past another one!"

"After gaining weight, Neymar is no longer weak!"

At Prince's Park Stadium, Paris fans cheered and jumped, applause thunderous.

Paris's number 10 surged wildly through the crowd, disrupting Chelsea's defense!

At a critical moment.

Still someone stepped forward.

"Oh no!"

"Li Kang poked the ball out."

"Both sides lost control of the ball."

"Draxler!"

"He lofted it lightly!"

"The arc was beautiful."

"Cavani!"

"His run was smart!"

Left side of Chelsea's penalty area.

Cavani slowed his steps and trapped the ball on his chest.

No volley kick!

He noticed Buffon's defensive positioning.

He knew he had lost the best shooting angle.

Smack!

The ball left his left foot.

It rolled toward the right side of the twelve‑yard mark!

A little black shadow appeared out of nowhere!

"Mbappe!!!"

"He got ahead of Rudiger again."

"Shot!!!"

At the instant Mbappe kicked,

Buffon adjusted his body orientation in advance.

Smack!

The ball whistled toward the left side of the goal.

The Italian keeper's gloves also blocked the shot's path!

He's just old after all.

He couldn't hold onto the ball securely.

He fumbled it!

The ball again slipped from both sides' control.

It slowly rolled toward the six‑yard line.

The not‑yet‑muscled Mbappe tried a follow‑up shot, but the strong Rudiger shoved him aside.

He cleared it with one kick!

The ball floated out of the right sideline in mid‑air.

Buffon exhaled deeply, stood up, and excitedly rubbed his two little black balls.

"Phew, that was close!"

"The CNM trio of Cavani, Neymar and Mbappe is astonishingly powerful!"

"Paris Saint‑Germain's all‑out attacking style!"

"The interplay of five top attacking points!"

"Tonight's attacking battle lacks only a goal!"

In the live‑stream room.

【The CNM combo is so in sync when they're behind!】

【Di Maria's advance is too crucial.】

【Draxler doesn't seem like a German player.】

Cavani didn't curse his teammates this time; instead he firmly embraced Mbappe's shoulder and said a few encouraging words.

Draxler and Di Maria were exchanging simple gestures.

Li Kang pulled up the fallen Neymar in front of him.

On the sidelines.

Dino remarked, "Money truly is omnipotent; Paris Saint‑Germain has four top‑class destroyers, plus a versatile striker like Cavani."

Tuchel looked relaxed, sitting calmly on the bench.

On the other side.

Emery regrettedly patted the turf.

He gave the players a high degree of attacking freedom, but the shooting rights were concentrated on Neymar.

Time passed minute by minute.

After Chelsea regained possession, they no longer allowed the opponent's "CNM combination" to develop chemistry.

The passing and running connection between Li Kang and Fabregas was so intuitive they could find each other with their eyes closed.

The two once again triggered the team's Cthulhu Triangle formation.

Chelsea's midfield and forward players ran arcs that dazzled the eye.

"Paris Saint-Germain's midfield and defense are a bit strained."

"During this period, Chelsea slowly used pass-and-cut penetrations on the flanks, forcing the opponent's defense to shrink its spacing."

"Fabregas suddenly made another long-range switch!"

"Hazard!!!"

"Super blast, shining over Paris!"

"What a shame, just a little more and they could have taken a shot!"

"."

"Paris looked top-heavy, lacking midfield cutting ability, their positional play was pinned in the penalty area, constantly being pressed and pulled by Chelsea."

"Mbappe and Neymar were standing at the two diagonals of their own penalty area?"

"Cavani as a lone striker served as the counterattack point?"

"What a helpless last resort."

"Paris must patiently wait for a counterattack opportunity!"

"Strive for a lethal strike!"

Due to a friendly exchange at the start, the added stoppage time for the first half was especially long.

Paris fans felt each second like a year.

Emery was not discouraged, he turned and actively communicated with the coaching staff; positional defense is his forte, back when he coached Sevilla, he once snatched food from under the hands of the three superpowers of the Spanish Super Cup.

The 53rd minute of added stoppage time.

Li Kang's shot from the top of the arc was cleared by Thiago Silva, the world's top goalkeeper, who had retreated to the goal line.

Beep! Beep-beep~

The main referee blew the whistle signaling the end of the first half.

Halftime break.

Paris Saint-Germain 0:1 Chelsea.

The livestream was filled with wails and howls; the anticipated attacking showdown never turned into goals, thunderous but rainless.

【So many shots, yet no goal!】

【Don't panic, in the second half Big Paris will adjust its positional defense well, and every counterattack will hit!】

Replace with a midfielder skilled at organizing and delivering shells, Dimaliya can't break through a few times.

Aimeili's starting lineup has a problem, making Neimaer and Mubapei track back to the two penalty area diagonals! The midfield definitely needs to be changed.

Kawani alone can't pose a threat on the counterattack.

Under the night sky, the Prince's Park Stadium's clamor gradually faded, and the magnificent canopy lit up with colorful light strips.

Jinpengbei felt relieved, looking at Diegesitas beside him, he couldn't help but shiver.

Throughout the first half, Chelsea's center forward constantly verbally and physically harassed himself.

Various actions like picking, scratching the buttocks, touching the thighs.

What can we do?

The 22-year-old French little black egg center-back has unspeakable suffering.

Padeleis blocked the referee team, complaining that Fabuleijiasi had fouled him multiple times.

Chelsea locker room.

Tuheer pulled out the tactical board, carefully analyzing Paris Saint-Germain's attacking style once.

Kante looked guilty.

Bakayueke uncomfortably rubbed his inner thigh.

Dino comforted, saying: "Your two performances have been excellent; this Paris attack force, even Bayern couldn't withstand."

In the second round of the Champions League group stage, Paris Saint-Germain 3:0 Bayern Munich.

The emotions of the forward players and the defensive line were completely opposite.

Diegesitas became increasingly excited.

Azar felt increasingly relieved: the opposing defense mostly focused on Li Kang, leaving him often with an open space to attack.

Li Kang held the small tactical board, simulating the opponent's second-half formation changes.

He removed the magnetic flag representing Dimaliya.

He placed a flag representing Mota or Verratti.

Aimeili's only variation in positional defense seems to be this.

Paris Saint-Germain locker room.

After Aimeili finished explaining the second-half tactical adjustments, he loudly encouraged the players.

"Our first-half performance was great; we were just a little away from leveling the score."

Chelsea's positional attack is very aggressive.

But what of it?

We're only behind by one goal!

Come on, lads, we can't let Chelsea walk away from Parc des Princes unscathed!

The fifteen-minute halftime break ended quickly.

The referee team led both sides' players back onto the pitch.

Parc des Princes returned to its noisy state.

Dear audience friends, welcome back!

We are now broadcasting live the 2017/18 UEFA Champions League round of sixteen knockout.

The second half of the Paris Saint-Germain versus Chelsea match.

Emery made the first substitution.

Verratti, replace Di María!

They want to try a progression suited to positional counterattacks!

Beep!

The head referee blew his whistle.

The second half officially began.

Paris Saint-Germain in possession.

Cavani kicked off, passing back to the defensive line, without charging forward directly.

Having lost Di María as their outlet, the Uruguayan striker's buildup duty now leans toward dropping back to receive the ball.

We lost the ball.

Verratti's long pass aimed to find Alves making a run into the half-space, but Kanté thwarted it!

Next, it's again Chelsea's positional pressing phase.

Unlike the passive, being beaten situation of the first half.

Cavani did not linger near midfield as a counter-attack outlet, but diligently joined the positional defense.

Verratti's nickname is 'Pirlo's successor'.

His defensive attitude is also good; he calmly directs the defenders.

The two of them respectively take up positions on the diagonals of the two penalty areas, sharing the defensive pressure.

Only Mbappé and Neymar remain up front.

On the touchline.

Dino exclaimed in surprise: 'Boss, Paris's central defense is now too dense; if we attack from the flanks...'

If Chelsea commits troops to both flanks in their positional attack,

then, should Paris obtain a counterattack opportunity, Chelsea's high defensive line will be very dangerous.

Tuchel shook his head: 'No need to rush; Li's position in the buildup is slowly dropping back.'

On the other side.

Emery rubbed the back of his head.

He nervously gripped his water bottle.

The wind is strong.

Paris's central defensive line is very dense.

Diego Costa and Kimpembe's close communication carried over to the nearby crowd.

Everyone: '.'

Li Kang is holding a deep position in the formation.

God's perspective oversees the whole scene.

Paris's positional defense may not be top‑tier in depth, but its setup is very good at neutralizing Chelsea's lofted passes from the half‑spaces and flanks.

After Cavani became a workhorse.

The true threat to Chelsea's high defensive line comes from Neymar and Mbappé operating near midfield.

Just like a shield bristling with barbs.

The two occasionally drop back, occasionally swapping roles as counter‑attack outlet and support point.

Crucially, their burst speed and dribbling ability are also top‑tier.

Four hundred million in vain.

Once Chelsea lose possession, they are very likely to be pierced by a counterattack.

Gradually.

From all sides the stands rang with waves of boos.

Paris fans believe Chelsea, after going one‑goal up, are time‑wasting.

All kinds of insults rang incessantly.

Minute 52 of the match.

Diego Costa made a crossing run, dragging Kimpembe along.

William took the chance to surge into the right side of the penalty area.

Fabregas, also sitting deep, leaned back and swung his leg widely!

The buildup was too long.

Experienced Thiago Silva quickly spotted the landing point of the deadly pass!

Header.

Forward header.

In an instant, Bali's formation immediately scattered.

Begin the counterattack!

Neimaer feints a withdrawal to receive the ball.

Mubapei is always ready to launch.

"Kawani traps the ball, passing it to the better-placed Weiladi to handle!"

"Pieluo's successor!"

"Guided long pass. Oh no, it was disrupted by Li Kang!"

"Bali must quickly restore its defensive formation!"

Cannot recover.

Li Kang, who was originally in a withdrawn position, seemed to have struck the vital point of Bali's transition to attack.

Steal.

Ball control.

Accelerate.

Done in one go.

The disordered counterattack formation, having no time to recover, was scattered!

Li Kang dribbled into the penalty area.

He knocked over Padeleisi, bearing Diyage Xieriwa.

A slight leg swing!

Smack!

Fake shot, real pass.

Fooled goalkeeper Aleiaola.

The ball rolled to a point six yards directly in front of the goal.

Azhaer surged like the wind and finished it off.

Bali's goal was breached again.

0:2!!!

The cursing at Prince's Park stopped, replaced by a helpless sigh.

"Nice!"

"Goal!"

"Li Kang assisted for a brace!"

"After the steal, he surged into the box!"

"Under pressure from two defenders, he delivered a deadly pass!"

"Azhaer slotted it home!"

"The two helped Qieerxi extend their lead!"
