Midfielder.

Chapter 274

Ten seconds into the opening, Chelsea turned the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff into a venue for their fans to revel. Although Liverpool wanted to launch a counterattack after the re-kick-off, the situation on the field was still controlled by Chelsea.

And in the match-up defense, Chelsea are very aggressive, they don't let the opponent control the football at all.

Even Gerrard was harassed by Lampard and Lin Yi when he received the ball in the backcourt. You can imagine Chelsea's defensive strength. Their pressing can be said to be everywhere. Even Drogba They are all madly fighting back.

This doesn't look like a team leading the score. Chelsea's crazy energy is almost like the side behind the score. Their crazy full-court pressing made Liverpool's offensive rhythm completely messed up.

Even though Benitez kept yelling loudly on the sidelines, he couldn't change the passive situation of his team on the court.

In contrast, Mourinho looked very calm on the sidelines, especially after leading the score, this guy had time to joke with the people around him. He seemed to have forgotten that there were still nearly 10 minutes left in the game.

But this game has entered the rhythm of the Chelsea team, do you still expect the Liverpool people to make any waves?
What Mourinho needs to do now is to appreciate the performance of his players on the sidelines. It is best to score a big score. This will make the Barcelona spies in the stands more uneasy. This is what Mourinho hopes most.

As he himself said, the League Cup is a trophy that must be won, not to mention that this time he is playing against his defeated opponent, so what if the Spanish bald guy is shouting on the sidelines?He can't change anything at all.

Mourinho just wants to make the team he is facing feel desperate and feel a sense of fear before fighting!
Many teams now know one thing, that is, don't let Chelsea play crazy, otherwise, there is no way to limit their madness on the field, especially that kid Lin Yi, who is simply a big disaster.

A perfect start, firmly controlling the rhythm of the game in their own hands, when everything has entered the fast counterattack routine that Chelsea is used to, all Liverpool can do is probably only two aimless crosses from the wing .

But even if Liverpool's front line is a powerful center like Morientes, under the pincer attack of Terry and Carvalho, do you still expect him to hit his head through the joint defense of two people?
How did Chelsea excel in the league?Relying on a strong defense, isn't it funny that you simply want to use this kind of cross to get rid of the tall Chelsea?It is estimated that even Liverpool fans will not have this dream.

Now the Liverpool team not only has to consider finding opportunities to equalize the score in the offense, but also has to be on guard against Chelsea's counterattack at all times, because they know that when they are pressing on the offense, it is the most dangerous moment.

In particular, the existence of Lin Yi escalated this danger even more, and that kid did not disappoint so many people who looked at him differently. Less than 5 minutes after Chelsea scored, he planned a sharp counterattack again.

Lin Yi's dribbling raid in the middle was intercepted by Gerrard. This time Lin Yi did not choose to pass the ball, but suddenly started to attack Gerrard's defense. This kid's flexible offensive choice made Gerrard Once again, he was very helplessly tricked. He was still guarding against Lin Yi's pass, but that kid rushed over so recklessly.

In the end, Gerrard could only choose a tactical foul in front of the penalty area, for which he was shown a yellow card by the referee.

Benitez yelled loudly at the referee's penalty, because in his opinion, this was just an ordinary foul and should not have received a yellow card at all, but the referee on duty did not have time to listen to a bald man's yelling.

A free kick with just enough distance, Lampard volleyed fiercely after a short run-up.

But the football didn't fly, but hit a ground ball against the turf. All the jumping Liverpool players were deceived, but this time Dudek's reaction speed on the goal line saved Liverpool.

His side attack blocked the football that was about to get into the net out of the bottom line. Although the ball missed, it still made many Liverpool fans break out in a cold sweat. Within 5 minutes, Chelsea had already played two very threatening kicks shoot.

As for the Liverpool team so far, Morientes has only had one header in the middle of the penalty area, but under the interference of Terry, the header was weak, and it did not cause any threat to the goal guarded by Cech. .

What is the gap?This is the difference. There are also eleven people on the field, but the offensive efficiency is one level lower. It is no wonder that Gerrard got angry at his teammates after passing the ball repeatedly in the midfield and was intercepted by the opponent.

"Steven can no longer tolerate the clumsy performance of his teammates, just like the foul just now, if he hadn't chased Lin Yi to the front of the penalty area, no one knows what will happen next."

The host responsible for the on-site commentary was also looking for reasons for Gerrard's anger, and it was indeed the case. It may be that Chelsea's opening goal was too sudden, and as a result, the ambitious Liverpool people before the game were stunned.

Except for Gerrard who is still running desperately on the field, the others are more often a little dazed.

Maybe they haven't reacted from the annoyance of conceding the goal now, but Chelsea will not give them so much time to reflect on their mistakes, and Lin Yi will not let Gerrard invest more energy in Liverpool's offense.

Contain him!With Harman having nothing to do with Lin Yi, only Gerrard can keep up with Lin Yi's rhythm.

However, Gerrard, who is the pivot of offense and defense, has to shoulder the heavy responsibility of Liverpool's offense while marking Lin Yi. Otherwise, he wants to count on Luis Garcia to provide help under Makelele's entanglement. It's a fantasy, not to mention whether Kewell and Riise can make any waves on the two sides.

Seeing the behavior of the teammates around him, even Gerald, the captain, has a good temper, and he can't help but get angry, but his anger is easier to prove, especially those reporters who are looking for news.

"Gerrard rarely shows such anger on the court, and now he expresses such emotions and states when facing Chelsea. It seems that the rumored transfer may really come this summer."

It is estimated that Kenyon will laugh when he hears this kind of discussion, and he also hopes that Gerrard will give up on Liverpool, because when he was in contact with Gerrard's agent recently, Gerrard My loyalty to Liverpool is the biggest obstacle. This emotional factor may be the most difficult to deal with in the transfer.

Just like Maldini's loyalty to AC Milan, it cannot be changed in the first place. Gerrard's situation is similar to this, but Kenyon believes that if Liverpool has been so half-dead.

Even if Gerrard is a loyal minister, he will eventually choose to leave because he can't stand the team's poor record.

After all, dawdling in a team that has no hope of winning the championship, this is a very tortured thing for a player in his prime. Kenyon believes that the transfer of Gerrard will always There will be a turnaround.

As it is now, letting Gerrard use his intuitive feeling to understand the gap between the two teams on the field may really speed up his pace of leaving Liverpool. Such an ending may not be as simple as winning a gold watch.

Perhaps the tragic defeat on this battlefield will also shake Gerrard's loyal heart. Now Kenyon really hopes that his team can beat Liverpool on the court, which is only good for him.

Regardless of whether the rumors about Gerrard's transfer can really become a reality, anyway, Gerrard's anger and the abnormal performance of the players on the field have disrupted Liverpool's tactical execution ability.

Not only does this make them look disorganized on offense, it also creates an even deadlier chaos on defense.

When the game progressed to No. 17 minutes, Lampard received a through ball from Lin Yi in the midfield and broke into the penalty area at high speed, but his breakthrough was used by Hamann with a very fierce tackle. It's over.

The German, who had been frustrated for a long time, was shown a yellow card by the referee, but when the Liverpool players were still setting up a human wall under the command of Dudek, Duff, who was standing in front of the football, kicked very cunningly Pick a pass.

Gerrard, the only one who reacted in the wall, jumped high. He tried to use his height and header to solve the problem for the goal, but when he jumped up, he found that he could not clear the siege at all. The worst It wasn't that, it was the football that nudged his head as it flew through the air and flew straight for the goal.

Dudek, who was still busy setting up the human wall, was stunned when he saw Gerrard jump up and the football flew towards him, because he was not ready to save at all. Still a refraction!
It is estimated that Gerrard himself has never been so tricky even with a header. The football that rubbed over his head turned into a dead-end shot. Dudek stretched his arms and failed to touch the edge of the football. Son.

When the hapless fellow fell to the goal line again, the ball was already bouncing in the net behind him.

One-nil may not have been a death sentence, but it would have been a disaster if Chelsea had gone two-nil.

Now this disaster has come to the Liverpool team. Look at the Chelsea players who are celebrating wildly. Gerrard's heart is almost broken. Even he himself doesn't know what happened to this damn game.

Two to zero, although this is not the final score, but Chelsea's fingertips, in less than 10 minutes of the game, seemed to have touched the final trophy. . .

But Lin Yi doesn't intend to let this madness stop there. If the game against Barcelona is the battlefield for them to release their anger, then at this moment, the decisive battle in the League Cup is where Chelsea accumulates energy.

victory!big win!Tell everyone with an undisputed victory!The era of Chelsea is here!
