Midfielder.

Chapter 348

When Benitez saw the adjustments Mourinho made to the team, the Spaniard was very helpless. He didn't know why, every time he tried to cause trouble for the opponent, he would always be injured first.

And every time he intends to slap Mourinho, the Portuguese can always counterattack quickly.

As it is now, it was supposed to be Liverpool's home ground, but they had only four shots on goal in the first half.

In addition to the two headers by Baros after the opening, Gerrard and Garcia each tried a long shot.

This statistic is indeed embarrassing enough. No matter how bad Liverpool's state has been in the past two or three years, once they face those strong teams, such as Manchester United or Arsenal, they can play equally with their opponents on the court.

Even when playing games at Anfield at home, the Liverpool team can always give their opponents a blow, even if they are at an absolute disadvantage, they can also kill those tough opponents in this old nest of the Red Army.

I don’t know how many strong teams have treated Anfield as a hell, including Juventus coached by Capello, who also lost the game depressingly here, and was finally eliminated by Liverpool.

But today, this home court advantage seems to be completely insulated from Liverpool, which has become Chelsea's home court.

Although there are still tens of thousands of fans of the Red Army cheering for the team in the stands, most of the time they let out bursts of exclamation, because throughout the first half, they watched their opponents attack continuously.

Usually this is what the Liverpool team should do, but now it is being manipulated by those Chelsea devils.

Attack, continuous attack, and Liverpool can only be beaten passively. The scene can be said to be very embarrassing.

If this is not the semi-final of the Champions League, then the boos of Liverpool fans have already sounded. After all, no one wants to see such an embarrassing situation at home. The team I support is now almost suppressed by the opponent. Like a grandson, he could only hold his head in his hands and squat in the corner to accept the stormy fist.

Seeing their team being beaten like this by an opponent, I don't think any diehard fans will be happy. Unless this guy is a masochist, they are all waiting to see the team launch a wave of manly counterattacks.

But considering the conservative and sluggish Benitez guy is famous for, Liverpool fans are now desperate.

Perhaps being able to survive the remaining 45 minutes at home is the greatest consolation for these diehard fans, but even if they can keep their home court, what about the away game?Do you want to play like this too?
Not to mention that those yellow cards will bring suspensions to several people, I am afraid that even Liverpool fans will not believe that they can keep the goal in the away game. Don't forget, that is Stamford Bridge, that is the hell made by Chelsea!

No team has been able to escape there this season. Can Liverpool create a miracle?It is estimated that even Benitez himself may not believe it, but that guy has nothing to do now except for such a gamble.

Just like he arranged for the three midfielders to lock Lin Yi, when he was about to catch Mourinho by surprise, the opponent changed his move before him, and Mourinho's adjustment this time was obviously to attack to the end .

To replace a defender with a striker, even an idiot can see what he wants to do.

What can you say about Mourinho?Apart from admiring this guy's gamble, maybe you really can't say anything.

Even well-informed stars such as Lineker and Shearer admired Mourinho's courage, "It seems that Chelsea is ready to continue to attack, and they don't want to hold on to a draw."

"It's definitely a bold decision. It looks like Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho doesn't intend to drag the game to the second leg. He just wants to put an end to Liverpool's hopes of a final at Anfield."

I have to say that this is really a risky decision. Maybe even many Chelsea fans did not expect such a situation. Mourinho, who is always stable, plans to take the lead this time.

I don't know if it's because the leaders of La Liga and Bundesliga have been eliminated in a row, which gave Mourinho such courage.

Anyway, this guy did it, and he did it very thoroughly. His tactical adjustment can be said to be immediate.

When the Liverpool players hadn't adapted to such a change of double forwards, Chelsea had already taken the lead in launching a fierce attack. The double arrows they had just played were resolutely implementing Mourinho's tactical arrangements.

Less than a minute into the second half, Chelsea let their opponents see what is called a side-center attack.

And it was still the black-haired kid who was constantly cursed by Liverpool fans who initiated this attack. It was originally Liverpool's first chance to attack in the second half, but it was because of that kid that this opportunity was ruined.

It was originally Gerrard who took the ball to take advantage of the opportunity of Chelsea's lineup adjustment to look for an attacking opportunity, but the soul of Liverpool's midfielder was intercepted by Lin Yi from the side before he could compete with Makelele.

Lin Yi has never been a qualified defensive player, especially when he is wandering in the midfield, he can even be said to be a defensive weakness of the Chelsea team, but this kid seems to suddenly start to get ruthless today.

Gerrard had already sped up the ball at that time, but Lin Yi killed it from the side at an unimaginable speed. Before Gerrard could react, Lin Yi had already stabbed the football with his toe.

Makelele simply controlled the football without any effort, and just swung his thigh to pass the ball.

Robben responded to Makelele's long pass from the wing, without any pause at all, almost at the moment of receiving the ball, he made a sudden move, and then, relying on his own acceleration, completed the match against Finn on the wing. Southern overtaking.

There is no way to kill this kind of absolute speed. Unless Finnan intends to attract a yellow card, when he faces Robben, there is really no way to grab the Dutch Peter Pan who has a motor installed under his feet.

Because Benitez told them during the intermission, don't provoke the French referee because of unnecessary fouls, otherwise, he really doesn't know how to adjust the team's current lineup.

Six yellow cards, this embarrassing situation, for Benitez now, is six swords hanging over his head.

It's not that the unlucky Spaniard doesn't want to make substitution adjustments to eliminate this dangerous situation where someone might be shown a red card, but he doesn't dare to make any personnel changes easily now, especially on the defensive line.

Biscayne plus Harman and Alonso, these three midfielders are the defensive formation he thought of after racking his brains.

No matter who is replaced now, there is no way to make up the gap in the midfielder position immediately, unless Gerrard is also pulled back from the frontcourt to fill the hole, but that may mean that the Liverpool team has completely given up attacking.

It's not that Benitez didn't think about defending to the end like this, but if he doesn't put a little pressure on the opponent in the frontcourt, then the pressure on his defense line will be too great, and he may even be in danger of collapsing when the players' physical fitness declines.

After weighing the pros and cons, Benitez can only continue to use such a lineup. Although the danger he has to bear may exceed Liverpool's ability to bear it, there is no way. Now there is no other way but to grit his teeth and stand firm.

Unless God can be extra merciful at this time and take that ghostly kid away from the world immediately, it is impossible for the Liverpool team to have a peaceful life. It is estimated that there are not a few Liverpool fans who think the same as him.

But this kind of prayer cannot really come true, just like Robben is determined by Finnan, Benitez has nothing to do, this is the gap in strength, even if he shouts wildly on the sidelines, it is impossible to change the result .

After breaking through Finnan, Robben did not hesitate. Before Finnan chased back and Biscayne made up, he had already completed a high-quality bottom pass. The pass circled inside Liverpool's penalty area. Make a perfect arc.

Short, flat, fast, Robben's passes have always been so ruthless, he is just causing trouble for the opponent's defender.

This time his pass also made Carragher very awkward when he cleared the header. The guy could only twist his body and grab the header in front of Drogba, but the clearance did not go far from the penalty area. .

Gudjohnsen, who had just played, grabbed the landing point and controlled the football at the first time, and then the Icelander, who usually looks very rough, used his beautiful kick to make others see what is called macho embroidery.

After Goodjohnson stopped the ball, he threw a straight kick to Lampard at the top of the arc in the penalty area, but before Lampard could control the pass, Biscayne pounced on him from behind. One foot was shoveled and flew up.

But the ball did not shovel out of the danger zone, but hit Hyypia who was defending from the other side.

Drogba, who just ran out from the goal, took the ball from the front of the penalty area and turned his back. The African elephant used his left foot to pass the ball diagonally. Shake Traore away.

The Irishman didn't stop, and a pass flew over the turf and hit the goal. Lampard turned around and completed a very difficult sideways right foot volley less than five meters in front of the goal.

Thanks to Dudek's concentration, he made a save almost immediately after Lampard's kick, but Lampard's shot from such a close range is really difficult to catch, he can only He punched the football hard with both fists, expecting such a save to resolve such a crisis, but when Dudek hit the football with both fists, what he saw was definitely not an empty turf. , was being swept by a foot.

The soccer ball that had just been kicked out was roaring towards the lower left corner of the goal with even more vigor at the moment. Even if God was alive, Dudek, who was already lying on the turf, would not be able to handle such a shot.

The only thing he could see was the football, which was still whistling, crashing into the net. . .

　The Bulls and the Heat have collided, but it is estimated that it will be difficult for the new MVP to break out from the three-man siege, unless the Bulls' inside line can show their strongest side, Boozer and Noah must stand up.
