Tuchel has kneaded the Blues together again, and the Blues, worth 800 million, finally shines with their true level.
The four consecutive victories at the beginning of the league have already made the Blues fans shout slogans to regain the Premier League championship.
In the 35th minute of the first half, Chelsea team launched a very exquisite coordination.
Chelsea's sideline ball came out, Jorginho took the ball, made a fake move to get past Pedri's press, passed the ball through the ball, and passed it to Mount in the frontcourt.
Mount is a super new star produced by the Chelsea youth training camp. After completing the contract with Chelsea last season, he quickly came under the eye of the new coach Tuchel.
Tuchel believes that Mount will be Chelsea's core frontcourt player in the next ten years. After all, he is an outstanding player from his own youth training camp.
Mount's performance is indeed good. He has started all four games this season, scored 2 goals and added 2 assists, and has firmly established himself as the main player.
After Mount received the pass from Jorginho, he made a beautiful bicycle pass and staggered Busquets. In desperation, Busquets could only reach out and pull down Mount, giving the opponent a direct free kick opportunity of about 40 meters.
This is also the experience of Busquets. A foul in this position will not give the opponent a chance to shoot directly. Moreover, for a foul in this position, the referee will not directly draw a card to warn him.
Sure enough, the referee came over, gave Busquets a verbal warning, and then gave the opponent a free kick.
Because the distance is relatively far, only Busquets stands symbolically not far in front of the ball, and the other players are still defending their own players.
Mount stood in front of the football, stepped back four or five steps, and looked at the movements of his teammates in the penalty area. It seemed that he was preparing to pass the ball.
Almost everyone thinks that Chelsea's free kick must be a pass, because this distance is really not suitable for a direct shot, forty meters away, and the angle is a bit off.
The referee blew the kick-off whistle, and Mount took small steps towards the football.
Busquets's expression suddenly changed, because Mount's movements didn't look like he was going to pass the ball.
Busquets hurriedly ran forward two steps and heard a loud "bang" sound. Mount kicked directly and furiously. Busquets was so frightened that Busquets quickly turned around and pointed at Mount with his back.
The football brushed against Busquets's side and flew directly towards the goal.
Barcelona's goalkeeper Ter Stegen did not expect that Mount would shoot directly and was not very focused. When he saw the football flying over, he broke into a cold sweat and hurriedly moved towards the near post.
Ter Stegen flew forward but failed to touch the football. He turned his head with a look of despair and saw that the football hit the goal post hard and bounced back.
For a moment, everyone in the restricted area was on their backs.
Before Ter Stegen could get up to defend for the second time, he saw a foot sticking out from the crowd and blocking the football into the gate behind him.
Havertz rushed out of the crowd, roaring angrily, and rushed to his bench, hugging the excited Tuchel.
1:1, Chelsea team tenaciously equalized the score in the 37th minute of the first half.
Ter Stegen picked up the football from the goal with a depressed look on his face and threw it hard towards the midfield.
This goal, FC Barcelona was too underestimated.
Mount's direct free kick shot was really unexpected, but the quality was very high, forcing Ter Stegen to make an extreme save, leaving him with no possibility of making a second save, and the opponent took advantage of the chaos and scored a goal.
The head coach Koeman on the sidelines was furious. This kind of goal was really unpleasant.
On the other side, Chelsea's bench became a sea of joy.
Mount and Havertz were surrounded by everyone, hugging each other excitedly.
This goal made Chelsea people completely relaxed and back to the same starting line.
Messi stood in the center circle, looking irritably at the Chelsea team members who were celebrating crazily.
Because Messi had little room to perform in the first thirty minutes today, and the number of times he connected with the ball was very limited. He only assisted Li Mingyu's goal in the opening game, and rarely participated in Barcelona's offense after that.
Messi has no chance to shoot today, which is too abnormal for Messi.
Li Mingyu looked at Messi's back and scratched his head a little.
Today he has passed the ball to Messi many times, but every time Messi quickly handed the ball back and his movement was not active. I don't know why.
After the restart, Messi kicked the ball to Li Mingyu and slowly ran towards Chelsea's frontcourt.
After receiving the ball, Li Mingyu did not pass the ball forward. Instead, he turned around and passed the ball to De Jong behind him. Because Chelsea had just scored a goal and was gaining momentum, he needed to slow down the pace of the game a little.
De Jong also knew it very well. Facing the rushing Havertz, he very calmly passed it to Dest on the wing.
Barcelona's kick in the backcourt was still so smooth, making Chelsea's players exhausted from going back and forth.
After establishing Li Mingyu's offensive core position, Koeman once again strengthened Barcelona's passing and running in training, trying to restore the passing and controlling style of play of the Dream Team.
Although the current style of play is not pure enough, with Li Mingyu threading the needle in the middle, Barcelona's offense is slowly becoming more impressive.
In the 42nd minute of the first half, Li Mingyu once again took the ball in the midfield, and a Croqueta passed the opponent's Kovacic cleanly. Under the close defense of Jorginho, he fell to the ground and delivered a scalpel-like through ball, passing through the gap between Thiago-Silva and Rudiger.
Seeing that the offense was favorable, the referee ignored Jorginho's foul action of knocking down Li Mingyu, moved his arms forward, and made a gesture that was favorable for the offense.
With this ball, Li Mingyu saw Messi who had finally started running, and passed the ball through the ball to the back of the defender. Messi also rushed over.
In this position, Messi has scored countless goals.
Facing the tall goalkeeper Chelsea, Messi chose a low shot, preparing to hit the far corner of the goal.
However, the kick was weak and was blocked by Mendy's outstretched leg.
Seeing such a goal, Messi didn't even score. Koeman on the sidelines was so angry that he kicked away the mineral water bottle next to him.
I can score such a ball even if I play it!
It's not like Koeman didn't notice that Messi was in no shape today, but he still believed that Messi could adjust himself.
Messi After missing the ball, he also lowered his head and looked at the turf thoughtfully, as if to see if there was a hole in the ground just now, which is why I shot such a non-threatening shot.
The fans at the scene also made cries of regret, but in an instant, there was a deafening round of applause to encourage their superstar Messi.
After Li Mingyu saw Messi miss the ball, he squatted on the ground holding his head in disbelief.
Griezmann on the other side also shook his head helplessly.
This goal had a big impact on the team's morale.
Our own superstar players are in no condition, and even excellent one-on-one shots can be missed.
The morale of the Chelsea team, which had narrowly escaped death, was also greatly improved. Mendy couldn't help shouting loudly, asking its defenders to concentrate and never let the opponent send the ball into the penalty area so easily again.
Thiago-Silva, the former number one central defender, also looked at Messi with some lingering fear. The ball just passed by Li Mingyu was really good. It happened that the gap between him and Rudiger was a little wider, and the ball arrived, so that neither of them could touch the ball.
Fortunately, Messi played the ball weakly. Otherwise, he would definitely be responsible for conceding the ball.
De Jong stood in the corner flag area, preparing to take the corner kick.
The first half has gone on for more than 40 minutes, and this turned out to be Barcelona's first corner kick.
This time, Li Mingyu did not go into the restricted area, but stood outside the restricted area, about 25 meters away.
The players of Barcelona got entangled with the defensive players of Chelsea in the penalty area. The referee had to stop the game, separated the players from both sides, and gave a verbal warning.
But when he left the penalty area, the pulling in the penalty area started again.
The referee had no choice but to blow the kick-off whistle.
Barcelona's players began to run back and forth in the penalty area, trying to pull Chelsea's defensive line apart.
For a moment, Chelsea was in chaos in the penalty area, and there was no Chelsea player within a three-meter radius of Li Mingyu, who was standing 25 meters away.
De Jong's eyes also lit up. He saw Li Mingyu raising his hands on the outside, and then kicked the football with a curved kick.
The Chelsea players in the penalty area looked at the landing point of the football and felt a little strange, because the ball was obviously deflected and flew outside the penalty area.
However, when they saw Li Mingyu standing outside the restricted area with a bow and arrow ready, their expressions changed.
The few Chelsea players who were nearby also rushed towards Li Mingyu quickly, hoping to block the hole of the gun at their own risk.
However, there was no time at all. From the kick of the football to Li Mingyu's shot, it only took one second.
Li Mingyu used his right foot to hug the football sideways, and with one Falling Leaf Strike, the football was like a cannonball, hitting the goal hard.
Although there were many players in the penalty area, due to some strange combination of circumstances, no one was able to block the path of the football.
Chelsea's goalkeeper, Mendy, had already made a wonderful save, but the ball was too fast, and the football hit his right hand and bounced into the goal.
Near the end of the first half, Li Mingyu used such a Falling Leaf Strike to take the lead again.
2:1.
Camp Nou once again fell into the carnival.
Li Mingyu's shot was just like War God's.
Standing on the spot, he quickly swung his right leg, faced the incoming ball, and volleyed the ball into the air like Cloud-Piercing Arrow, directly into Chelsea's goal.
Li Mingyu rushed to the stands excitedly, once again showing the fans the name behind him.
"Li--"
All the fans chanted Li Mingyu's name and paid homage to him.
Each of the two goals was as wonderful as a work of art. A violent long shot and a volley Falling Leaf Strike, Li Mingyu allowed the fans to see another version of him.
Although Messi was in no condition today, after seeing his little brother score such a wonderful goal, he was very excited and hugged Li Mingyu.
On the bench of Barcelona, Koeman excitedly held his head with both hands and kept shouting "I buy it!"
Because during training, Li Mingyu rarely attempts long-range shots. Even among the many goals Li Mingyu scores, the proportion of long-range shots is very small.
Unexpectedly, Li Mingyu actually used two such beautiful long-range shots today to help the team take the lead again.
The first half of the game ended after the referee blew his whistle.
2:1, Barcelona temporarily takes the lead at their home court.
At the end of the game, Li Mingyu and Messi walked back together, and the fans in the stands also shouted the name of Li Mingyu.
Li Mingyu also quickly waved and responded to the fans' enthusiasm, which resulted in more cheers.
Seeing that Li Mingyu was so loved by the fans, Messi also smiled slightly and said, "Li, did you see it? This is the honor you deserve!"
Li Mingyu chuckled and said, "Leo, what's wrong with you today? Are you feeling unwell?"
Messi shook his head and said helplessly, "Maybe he is too tired."
After all, Messi went to South America in the previous international competition day and participated in two key games of South America zone World Cup Qualifiers.
The first game was an away game against Paraguay. In the end, Messi played the entire game. At the last moment, Messi defeated the opponent and won the victory.
The other game was against the challenge of Peru. Messi also played the entire game. In the end, they won 2:0.
At present, Argentina's qualifying situation is very clear, with 10 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, and 31 points, ranking first in the South America district. With six games left, he is already 15 points ahead of the fifth place. As long as he wins one more victory, he can guarantee a direct qualifying spot in the top four.
Messi can be said to have tried his best in these two games, playing for 90 minutes in both games and helping the team win two key victories.
However, traveling back and forth across half the world and working hard for two consecutive games made Messi really exhausted physically and mentally.
Even after getting a week's rest, Messi was not able to fully recover his body. After all, he was no longer the young Little Flea.
Messi, 33 years old, feels like he is really old for the first time!
