Two hours of interruption, overtime critical hit! This is the "super overtime" of the Club World Cup

A 90-minute game ended after playing for 4 hours and 40 minutes. What is the experience?

This morning, the Club World Cup 1/8 final ushered in its first European civil war: after the extreme reversals such as scoring first, game interruption, draw points, one more player, and three overtime combos, Chelsea eliminated Benfica 4-1, becoming the first European team to advance to the quarterfinals.

Previously, the "toughness" of the "two elders of Xuanming" Di Maria and Otamendi were well known, but this time, the Portuguese super rich family, which had been shot all over, fell in front of the Blues' more abundant physical energy and more resolute counterattack. Although the curtain call of the "angel" made everyone sigh, Maresca, who was so excited that he was almost obsessed with it, also proved that behind every bald coach, there is a seemingly non-existent metaphysical blessing.

In the Club World Cup in 4 days, physical fitness is the king. Chelsea, with an average age, took the absolute initiative one hour before the game. Neto, Kukurelia and Palmer all had the chance to rewrite the score half an hour before the game, but they were all resolved one by one by Benfica's giant goalkeeper Trubin. Just after this wave of offensive ended, referee Wincic interrupted the game for the first time, and both sides entered the water replenishment time, but they didn't know that this was the foreshadowing of the super long game.

After returning from replenishing water, Chelsea's advantage came to an abrupt end, and instead entered a continuous reduction in staff: before the end of the half, Kesedo was injured in the fight, scaring the Blues general in a cold sweat. Fortunately, Ecuador's midfielder could still hold on.

The game came to 69 minutes, Badiasheller signaled to the sidelines that he could not persist after completing the defense. After being replaced, he even had to use crutches to leave the court. This also made Klopp's previous golden sentence unfortunately come true: "Not every game is the last game. Football is over-consuming players, and players will suffer unprecedented injuries next season. If it is not next season, it will happen in the World Cup or after."

Fortunately, before Badiasheller left the court, Rees James took the lead for Chelsea with a strong and heavy short corner free kick. This is also the first time that a European player scored a direct free kick in this World Cup. The previous four times were recorded under the accounts of Latin American players (2 in Argentina, 1 in Mexico and Colombia each).

However, just as Maresca and his disciples were about to "curry up", the thunderstorm warning was sounded again over the dark clouds. Both sides had to enter the locker room and wait for the game to restart, and this wait took two hours. During

, Cucurella, Hall and others could only warm up on the bicycle, and Maresca was helpless about this: "The game was suspended for two hours, but it was not football. We saw someone laughing, eating while playing with his phone."

After the long wait, the bald coach's "abnormal" worried about it immediately happened: the Blues, who had almost never given any chance to his opponent before, made a big mistake in the fourth minute of stoppage time, Gusto handballed in the penalty area, and Wincic pointed to 12 yards after reviewing VAR, Di Maria, who withstood the pressure, deceived Sanchez into a hit, Benfica came back to life in the countdown stage, and the game that had already been unexpectedly extended was overtime again.

Not tied, and the other was again. Benfica player Prestiani let out Corwell, and the two yellows turned into red and were sent off. The Blues, who had gained a numerical advantage, gradually emerged from the frustration of being tied.

Under the disadvantage of playing one less, Benfica's resilience is amazing: Aktilkolu and Di Maria both have the chance to kill the game. At the end of the game, two central defenders Otamendi and Antonio Silva even squatted in the Blues' penalty area. One made an extraordinary cross and the other fought for the top, but Chelsea, who beat one more, made full use of the depth of the venue: especially after Trubin, who had been highly focused, "laying an egg" and succeeded Nkunku, the back-point encircling the empty goal, Benfica's collapse was inevitable. Neto scored three consecutive games, Hall's one-on-one push and shot made Maresca, who once complained about the referee's standard, run wildly to celebrate the promotion with his disciples.

After all, the long overtime work of 4 and a half hours from the afternoon to Chelsea at night, is more painful than winning.

Reviewing this "super overtime", although Chelsea's conceding goal was extremely accidental, it was ultimately still Gusto's at a loss in the role of recruiting fullback. Not all Blues players are all-around fighters like Reese James. But the other side of the coin is that Maresca insists on using Nkunku finally blooms, even though this move is more like a Frenchman to make a fortune in order to send it away.

From the last round of Premier League last season, the winner of Forest to secure a Champions League seat, to now qualifying for the second-place team to reach the quarterfinals, Maresca certainly does not please fans, but her "metaphysical physique" cannot be accepted. Of course, the Blues' price for this game is not bad: in addition to Badiashell's serious injury, the best Kesedo of the game also missed the next round with a cumulative yellow card. Maresca, who doesn't like to listen to the opinions of celebrities and fans, is really worried about the arrangement of troops this time.
