CHAPTER 517: CHAPTER 517 BRIGHTON DIDN’T GIVE UP! THE SECOND HALF BECOMES THE KEY!

When the score reached 2-0, the suspense of the game was essentially over.

Zhan Jun, the commentator for Qingqiu.com, shouted excitedly into the microphone:

"Tonight’s game is turning into a one-sided battle! From the very first minute, every Chelsea player has firmly controlled the pace of the game.

"Under Su Luo’s leadership, the team now holds a two-goal lead over Brighton. Although Brighton has worked tirelessly in this 2-3-3 formation, Chelsea’s strength is simply overwhelming.

"If Brighton hopes to win, it’s purely theoretical at this point."

In the following period,

Brighton’s players refrained from launching aggressive attacks. Instead, they stuck to the defensive tactics planned before the game.

As long as their focus remained on defense, they hoped to weather Chelsea’s relentless attacks.

Finally, during the remainder of the first half,

Chelsea continued to dominate possession and firmly controlled the game’s tempo.

Brighton’s players understood clearly that defeating their opponents under such circumstances was almost impossible.

As a result,

They could only wait patiently for an opportunity to strike.

But unfortunately for Brighton,

Throughout the entire first half, Chelsea’s incredible control and organization gave them no space or chance to counterattack.

After forty-five minutes of play,

The halftime score stood at 2-0 in Chelsea’s favor.

Halftime break:

In the visiting team’s locker room,

Brighton’s head coach, Hughes, appeared calm and composed, as if everything was under control.

He addressed his players with a steady voice, urging them to stay focused and not lose heart:

"The game isn’t over yet. I firmly believe that victory will eventually belong to us at Brighton.

"As long as we keep applying pressure on our opponents, we’ll find a way to win!"

Hughes continued,

"In the second half, I need every one of you to give it your all. Chelsea may be a great team, but that doesn’t mean they’re unbeatable!"

Hughes was a shrewd tactician.

He knew that if Brighton wanted to create pressure on Chelsea—or even salvage a point—they needed more than just solid tactics.

They needed momentum and belief.

Second half begins:

When the second half kicked off, neither team made any substitutions.

The game resumed with intensity...

In the stands at Stamford Bridge, tens of thousands of Chelsea fans continued to chant the names of their players passionately.

Despite Chelsea’s 2-0 lead,

The fans were eager for their team to keep scoring and turn this into a resounding victory.

It didn’t take long for Chelsea to resume their offensive push, charging towards Brighton’s goal with relentless force.

In tonight’s game,

Su Luo was positioned as a forward, leaving the midfield playmaking duties to Fabregas.

It must be said,

"Fabregas is a player with exceptionally high football intelligence."

In crucial moments,

Fabregas could always deliver precise, game-changing passes to the Chelsea forwards.

Recognizing this,

Head coach Hughes instructed his midfielders to focus on disrupting Fabregas’s playmaking abilities as much as possible during the second half.

A key moment:

When Fabregas received the ball in midfield,

Brighton’s defensive players immediately swarmed him.

In an instant, multiple defenders closed in, rushing to block Fabregas’s passing lanes and apply maximum pressure.

This sudden and intense defensive effort left Fabregas momentarily stunned...
