Benzema again.

Mendy had to sigh.

Two years in a row, he was scored by the French striker in the knockout stages of the Champions League.

Chelsea Gate was very disappointed.

Just when fans were thinking the team would return to Stamford Bridge with a draw.

Chelsea are one goal behind.

Qin Xi looked at his teammates helplessly, none of them wanted to say anything.

But after all, it's only a two-legged match.

When the referee blew the end-of-game whistle, the Chelsea players quickly returned to the dressing room.

"Lads, you've done a great job, let's forget the result of this game, and return to Stamford Bridge next week will be the more important showdown!" Tuchel didn't say much but inspired the seemingly lost players in his own way.

Qin Xi was helpless, and he blamed the responsibility for losing the ball on himself.

After all, if he could intercept Eden Hazard's football, it wouldn't have triggered what happened next.

"West, I can't blame you, that guy used to be the most talented player on our team." Old captain Cesar Azpilicueta walked to the side of his teammate in China.

Indeed, he is also the player in the team who has played the most games with Eden Hazard.

They both joined Chelsea from Ligue 1 after winning their first Champions League.

It's just that the old captain was lucky enough to lift the Champions League trophy again on behalf of Chelsea.

The Belgian, on the other hand, also won the Champions League for Real Madrid last year.

.......

The team did not rest, but packed their bags intensively.

Home.

After all, the league weekend is just as important.

Tuchel needs to choose his players and arrange them wisely.

And also have to prepare for the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals in midweek.

Since he left with regrets, he had to find it in front of the fans of the home team.

......

On the training ground, Chelsea's players are trying to implement Tuchel's tactics.

But the German boss knows that the players are not more focused on Leicester City's Premier League weekend.

In the first round, Chelsea won 8-0 away from home.

So in this game, the outside world is unanimously optimistic that Chelsea can win the opponent at home.

Tuchel has repeatedly warned his players not to take their enemies lightly.

The other side also invested a lot of transfer funds in the winter window.

From Portugal and Ligue 1, several excellent young players were brought in.

Now there is a point difference with Manchester City, and any round of league games will change the ranking position of both teams.

......

But at the weekend, Manchester City still won the opponent without bloodshed.

The pressure is back on Chelsea's side.

Tuchel fielded a squad that was half workhorse and half substitute.

Timo Werner, Kai Havertz and Christian Pulisic formed the attacking trident.

The midfield is partnered by Ngoro and Jorginho.

Qin Xi returned to the bench and fans knew Tuchel was looking for him to get his best fit back and meet his opponents three days later.

After all, after a long journey, the physical condition of the players is not comparable to the visiting Fox City.

Plus Rogers is also a cunning coach.

As Tuchel guessed, the match will definitely take advantage of Chelsea's physical disadvantage and launch a frantic press.

But the German coach told everyone before the game to try to control instead.

Don't make too much scrambling contact with the other person.

Sure enough, Lester was a lot more honest after grabbing it for ten minutes without success.

At this time, it was Chelsea who took advantage of the opponent's breathing time to attack.

Pulisic has a rare chance to start, and naturally cherishes every touch on the field.

In the 19th minute of the game, it was the captain of the United States who made a mistake in Leicester's back line after receiving the ball on the left flank, and kicked the ball into his own goal during the clearance.

After conceding the goal, Schmeichel was furious.

The scene of conceding eight goals in a single game a few months ago has left the Danes with palpitations.

In the 37th minute, Chelsea scored another goal.

This time it was Corona's performance time on the right wing, and after the return of the English wings, he was also reduced to the substitute.

But experience and physical flexibility made the Mexican very confident on the wing, and he sent a perfectly curved pass that extended the score to 2-0 with a header from Kai Havertz in the box.

With a two-goal lead, the team returned to the dressing room.

Tuchel decided not to let Mount, Qinxi, James and others play.

There are even plans to replace Kai Havertz.

He trusted his disciples to take Leicester on his doorstep.

If the 2-0 lead is variable, it will only prove that Chelsea's bench depth is really not enough.

......

At the start of the second half, Gallagher replaced Kai Havertz.

Timo Werner was at the centre of the position.

Qin Xi and Mount sat leisurely off the court, enjoying the performance of their teammates.

Choosing to trust Timo Werner is also hoping that he can regain the feeling of scoring goals.

After Vlahovic was sidelined for some time due to injury, Tuchel's centre-forward options were only Timo Werner and Kai Havertz, two fellow Germans.

Timo Werner did not disappoint Tuchel either.

He and Gallagher scored two goals in the second half in 59 and 72 minutes.

Extend the score to 4:0.

In the end, Chelsea paid for the gold and even replaced Kepa in the final period.

A big win that allowed them to continue to bite Manchester City in the table.

In two legs against the Foxes, he scored 12 goals and did not concede.

This has led the media to jokingly call Chelsea a veritable fox killer this season.

.......

But two days later, in the Komba base, there was another headache scene for everyone.

During training, Mount suffered some minor problems with his ankle.

Out of concern for his disciples, Tuchel halted the England youngster's next training schedule.

After examining him, the team doctor thought he was likely to miss the match against Real Madrid.

Unless a blocking needle is given.

Sealing needles are the most familiar treatment for every professional player.

But it is also frightening, after all, no one knows whether there will be sequelae.

Mount wanted to play, so he decided to play, but Tuchel didn't say yes.

"Kid, believe me, I know your absence will have a big impact on the team, but I don't want a Champions League semi-final to hurt your body. You're only 23 years old and you're still in the final stages of development in all aspects of your body, so I want you to be honest in the stands and cheer for the players. "

After seeing the coach think about himself, the English guy had to accept it.

Two years ago, it was he who hit the blow and sent Chelsea to the final.

Now, I have to watch my teammates fight, and the English guys are not in the taste.

......

On Tuesday evening, the second leg of the Champions League semi-final is due to be played at Stamford Bridge.

In the pre-match roster, in addition to the three injured players Kovacic, Mount and Vlahovic.

The other main players have a chance to play.

Qinxi will once again partner with his Italian team-mates, while in front of him are Christian Pulisic, Kai Havertz and Gallagher.
