Mourinho absolutely wouldn't admit defeat at his home ground!
Moreover, before the match, he boasted grandly.
This match, there's only one path, to win!
So, when he kicked the tactics board flying in the locker room, Chelsea's players instantly understood that tactics were secondary; the key was to have the determination to win the match.
"Attack their right flank!"
The Blue Army aimed their attacks at the right-back Sabaleta.
The Argentine full-back is over thirty, though experienced, time is unforgiving, and his stamina will certainly noticeably decline in the second half.
This is a breakthrough point.
Almost every attack deliberately sought opportunities on his side.
In the 48th minute, William pulled to the flank, luring Sabaleta out, then started on the spot and shook him off, cutting inside along the sideline!
Fortunately, Mangala timely pulled out from the penalty area to assist, sliding and clearing the ball out of bounds.
Come again!
