Midfielder.

Chapter 241

Since Lampard's fatal goal, the whole situation has been out of Liverpool's control, maybe they have never been able to control the game, in the next game, they just dealt with Chelsea in vain , but more often they are busy defending.

Although one goal behind, Benitez is also constantly deploying troops, but the counterattack wave they can set off is so small that they can't create any threat to the goal guarded by Petr Cech. Six shots, but all from long range.

Moreover, four of the shots were from Gerrard. In the face of the extremely poor performance of his teammates, the soul of Liverpool can only solve the problem on his own, but under the strict marking of Makelele, even if he can have a chance There is no chance of footing, and there is no crosshairs.

Only one of the four-footed shots hit the goal frame, but it was only a ground ball. Cech even had a chance to adjust his stance, and then bent down and hugged the football. This situation has already made Gerrard a little desperate. , his shot might just prove he's still around.

Mourinho basically did not make any personnel adjustments in the second half. He just asked the players to keep a distance from each other, use a compact formation to minimize the counterattack space of the opponent, and maintain the rhythm of possession in the midfield. Wait for the opportunity to find defensive loopholes in the defense.

Lin Yi is definitely a faithful executor of this tactic. Compared with Gerrard's somewhat desperate shot, Lin Yi didn't even try to shoot in this game, but this guy is like a player in front of Harman and Alonso. A slippery loach is wandering around, creating murderous intent.

Although Benitez yelled repeatedly on the sidelines, asking the players to keep an eye on that kid, how can they do it?Most of the time, the kid just hovered in the midfield. He always started his assault from the midfield like this. Could it be that Harman and Alonso are going to the midfield to defend closely?
Especially after Lin Yi took the lead in the team, he would often catch the ball in the midfield and give out accurate long passes. The combination of Lonzo and Harman is quite depressing.

They originally came to block Lin Yi, but how to block it now?Unless these two guys give up their defensive position, follow this kid running on the field wholeheartedly, and bite him to death every step of the way, otherwise they really can't think of a better way.

But is that realistic?Are those guys Lampard and Gudjohnsen just a display?Do you really expect that marking Lin Yi to death can kill Chelsea's offensive?I'm afraid only an idiot thinks that defense is effective. Of course, Benitez is no different from an idiot now.

In addition to provoking Mourinho, he is provoking Lin Yi. Maybe the only function of this guy is to make the opponent full of fighting spirit before going on the field. Damn, don't they say that smart heads don't grow hair?Why can't that bald lady see any cleverness?What a fucking idiot!
Liverpool's offense couldn't advance at all. Not only that, they also had to beware of Chelsea's offense completely crushing them, because those guys had completely entered their own rhythm after taking the lead. deadly threat.

In the No.80 minute of the second half, Gudjohnsen even got a shot that was better than Lampard's goal, but this guy was too chasing the angle when he shot, and the football went past Dudek. After his body, he bumped into the doorpost.

The Icelander pulled his hair in frustration, but Lin Yi didn't seem to care about the result. Anyway, this little guy had sent such a pass more than once in the second half of the game. If it didn't work once, then try again. Anyway, as long as If there is an opportunity, he will not let it go.

When Lin Yi was replaced by Joe Cole in the last 5 minutes of the game, there were even sporadic applause from the stands at Anfield Stadium. Perhaps even the loyal supporters of the Red Army were also replaced by this kid Crazy overwhelmed.

But Lin Yi didn't respond to such applause. The moment he left the field, he just had a smile on his lips. Even when the kid walked back to the bench, he gave Mourinho a high-five to celebrate. After a while, the kid didn't show much excitement, as if he had nothing to be excited about after killing Liverpool, this game was just an ordinary league game for him.

What a reality this is, at least in the eyes of Liverpool fans, they can't do anything but be sad now, maybe they can't find anything other than booing Benitez to express their dissatisfaction. What a good way to vent.

It was already depressing enough for Benitez to be booed by his fans, but what made him even more depressing was still to come, because when the bald man turned around and saw Lin Yi, he actually saw the kid put his hand next to his ear on, as if deliberately listening to the crazy boos.

Naked provocation, but now Benitez seems to be unable to find any good way to fight back besides clenching his teeth. He can only make himself try not to look at that damned little guy. There is no way, who made him die so hard To provoke that little lunatic, this is his counterattack.

The 1:0 score was maintained until the end. For the first time after the game, the Liverpool players did not bow to the fans who supported them. After the final whistle sounded, they couldn't wait to get into the player channel. There was also a burst of crazy boos as they saw off.

This time, not only did Anfield fail to bless Liverpool, but even the loyal fans had to abandon them, because they had never seen such a frustrated and uncompetitive team. For those fans, this is probably the most depressing a season.

But the Chelsea team is very HIGH, because they successfully double-killed Liverpool in the league. While Chelsea took three points from Anfield, they also warned the chasing team in this way, don't expect Mourinho's team can easily make mistakes.

Although the Spanish bald man still said very bluntly when he was interviewed after the game, "Everything in the Liverpool team is running normally. This is just a league game. We have bad luck at Anfield. I am disappointed."

"But our goal has not changed. In the Champions League, we have been able to ensure that we qualify for the group stage. Now Liverpool must first ensure that we can break into the top four in the league and secure a place in the Champions League next season. As for the championship, we will do our best to win. Play every game."

Benitez may be trying to save his reputation in this way, but this guy should be able to hear the loud boos at Anfield with 10 minutes left in the game, which is the most in Liverpool history. On the surface, it may be considered a very rare sight.

Before the end of the game, a little drizzle fell over the Anfield Stadium. The Liverpool players whose uniforms were wet by the rain, coupled with their frustrated faces, added a kind of helpless and helpless sadness. Some media Said after the game, maybe it was Shankly's tears left in heaven.

Perhaps the old man who created the glory of the Red Army also had a kind of helpless melancholy when he saw his team decline to such a degree in heaven, but now he can't continue to lead the team to create miracles.

No fan can be satisfied with the team's performance, especially after they lost this game, they have slipped to No.11 in the league standings. Now it is not like what Benitez said, they There is no need to hit the top four, but to prepare for relegation.

This is definitely not alarmist talk. Liverpool is now facing such an embarrassing situation. Benitez has built a team for half a season, and now it is only seven points higher than the relegation zone, and the team's state is still improving. In the decline, no one can tell what happened to them.

Who can save Liverpool?Anyway, no one believes that it is the Spanish bald guy now. Although that guy is still the head coach, look at Gerrard's expression when he is off the field. Even the soul of Liverpool is unwilling to talk about his future.

leave?Maybe, no one in the Liverpool team can be sure of their own future, including the club. They are also waiting for someone else to buy them. Who cares about the future of the team?Maybe no one cares about them except those infatuated fans.

Less than a day after Chelsea defeated Liverpool, Arsenal also defeated Charlton 3-1 in the away game. Ljungberg, who had been out of battle for a long time, contributed two goals after returning to the main lineup. Van Persie, who entered the starting list, was the icing on the cake.

But Wenger also encountered a lot of trouble. In the recent continuous battles, his team began to suffer a lot of injuries, especially in the midfield, including the main players such as Henry and Bergkamp. Rotation system, otherwise there will be problems.

But now the Arsenal team can only grit their teeth like this. After all, the league has reached about [-] rounds, which is when the competition for the standings is the most intense. At this juncture, even if he wants to relax, it is impossible, unless Arsenal The team voluntarily gave up the title of league champion.

In fact, like Arsenal, Ferguson's Manchester United also encountered such troubles, but the old guy's luck has been pretty good recently, and the veterans under him have not encountered injuries, especially Ryan Giggs and others. People have become the main backbone of the team to grab points.

In this round, the Welshman contributed another goal to seal the victory. He and Fletcher each scored a goal in the first and second halves, allowing Manchester United to beat Middlesbrough 2-1 in the away game. Keep the pressure on Chelsea and Arsenal at the top of the table.

But Chelsea's victory over Liverpool in the away game is actually a blow to Manchester United and Arsenal. Originally, when Wenger and Ferguson were chasing Chelsea, they needed the Blues to make mistakes at some point, but Mourinho The team they led made them a little desperate.

In the away game against Liverpool, Mourinho not only took away three points, but also took away a kind of expectation from the chasers. If Liverpool's home court can't trap Chelsea, then in the second half This season, I can only pray that Old Trafford can do this.

It may not be possible to kill Chelsea at home. It is estimated that even Ferguson does not have an accurate answer in his mind at the moment. The offensive efficiency is surprisingly high.

That line of defense that can't even be broken by Arsenal's crazy offense, those lunatics who can tear apart any team's defense line, is already terrifying just thinking about it.

Mourinho's team killed Liverpool not only to keep themselves in the lead, this effect was seen in the No.20 second round of the league. Chelsea, who played the game the day before, continued to perform strongly. Like the team, they also killed the Middlesbrough team in the away game, but they scored three goals while not allowing their opponents to score. Middlesbrough did not have any offensive opportunities in the game.

Drogba, who came back from injury, scored two goals in a row in the first 3 minutes, almost sealing the victory in the first 5 minutes, and it was Lin Yi who sent him a deadly pass. The first goal was actually It was after the kick-off that Lin Yi started to break through with the ball from the arc of the middle circle.

four people!Middlesbrough fans witnessed this miraculous scoring process. They just watched Lin Yi start in the midfield, and then almost broke through the four interceptions in a straight line, before he cut into the penalty area and dangled When he was the last central defender, he didn't choose to shoot. Instead, after teasing the goalkeeper to abandon the goal, he deftly made a lateral move, allowing Drogba to directly face an open empty goal.

Is this the hell?Even the host who was in charge of commentary opened his mouth wide and forgot what to say. How to describe such an attack?God, did that kid just get possessed by that fellow Maradona? ?In addition to scoring goals, what he has done is hard to be perfect!
How can you expect the Middlesbrough players to pick up their spirits when the game has started in such a magical way?It is estimated that doping them at this time will not work. This kind of crazy performance is simply destroying the confidence of others, and even destroying the game.

The same performance struck again 2 minutes later. After Lin Yi took the ball in the midfield, he looked at the two Middlesbrough players in front of him and flicked his ankle. Suddenly kicked a long pass, and the football passed through everyone's defense.

Almost in the process of rushing forward at high speed, Drogba flew into the air with a diving header. Lin Yi seemed to have calculated this guy's height and running speed. A defender can make Drogba very comfortable.

Middlesbrough's goalkeeper Schwarzer really didn't know how to save the ball. He could only watch Drogba head the ball with an arc when he was halfway through the attack. It passed over his fingertips and just hung into the goal. It is estimated that Schwarzer was going crazy when he fell on the turf. He really didn't know how many times he would be played by that black-haired kid today.

3 minutes, 87-[-]. It is estimated that even Mourinho did not expect that his team would use such a lightning-fast way to end the suspense of the game. He even asked Brito next to him, "The remaining [-] minutes The game, what should we do? Do we need substitutions?"

"Uh...", Brito didn't know how to answer this guy, alas, the current teams in the Premier League have been ravaged by this pair of beast masters and apprentices, it's too cruel, Since losing to Manchester City, Chelsea has completely entered a state of madness.

lose?Come on, even a draw is a failure for them now. Now it is estimated that many Premier League teams think that the 0:1 loss to Chelsea is actually a kind of welfare. If this group of lunatics are angered, they will definitely be welcomed A bloodbath, so don't mess with them.

Perhaps the start was too smooth, and the Boro players really didn't have any desire to counterattack. Except for Robben's third goal for Lampard after a breakthrough from the wing in the second half, Chelsea was just on the field. He tried his best to control the rhythm, and did not try his best to destroy the opponent.

But it was Chelsea's strong performance that put a lot of pressure on Arsenal and Manchester United. They now have no other choice but to score three points, but things often backfire like this, the more you want to win The ball, the less luck you have.

This time, Arsenal and Manchester United were tied by less powerful opponents at home at the same time. Arsenal was forced to a 30:1 by Manchester City's 1-meter long-range shot at Highbury Stadium. You must know that Wright Phillips has almost no record of long-range scoring.

But this time he took the lead in stealing Vieira in the midfield, drove straight in, kicked more than 30 meters away from the goal, and pierced through the goal guarded by Almunia. I really don’t know his adoptive father, the Arsenal team What is the mood of veteran Ian Wright in the stands.

Wenger also revealed before the game that Manchester City's talented midfielder Wright Phillips will be one of his acquisition targets. The kid really lived up to Wenger's special opinion. This time he is solid at Highbury Stadium Really repay Wenger's appreciation once.

If it weren't for Henry's header in the second half of the game, maybe Arsenal would stumble at home again this time, but Henry's goal can only save the team from the fate of failure, but it cannot lead the team to score three points.

Compared with Arsenal's depressing draw, Manchester United seems to have better luck. Although they were tied 0:0 by Tottenham Hotspur at home, the opponents took the initiative in the game. Towards the end of the game, there was a dramatic scene on the field. Tottenham midfielder Mendes took a long shot from 30 yards. Manchester United goalkeeper Carroll obviously made a mistake in the save, and the football rolled over. The goal line, but then it was photographed by Carroll. At this time, not only the assistant referee did not make the correct penalty, but even the referee turned a blind eye to this scene. Tottenham's victory was cruelly rejected by the referees.

After the game, the head coach of Tottenham and the club expressed their dissatisfaction with the goal being blown. Ferguson, the old slicker, can only say that he did not see clearly what happened at that moment. As for whether the football crossed the goal line, He can't comment on anything, the referee is correct.

It can be said that Manchester United's tie is all luck, but this kind of luck has allowed them to be pulled down by Chelsea by two points in the standings. Not only them, but also Arsenal. Now they are far away from the top position of Chelsea. got further away. . .

(Uh...the heat has hung up again...you are so cowardly in the face of the Thunder???)
