ball at foot

In less than 1 minute, Riise sneaked into one just at the beginning of the game, leaving Benitez and Mourinho stunned at the same time.

How these guys play football is not according to the script...

This time, the plans of both parties were disrupted.Originally holding back, I wanted to slowly test the opponent's two sides, but at the same time changed my mind.

In such a situation, it is impossible not to fight.No matter what the plan is, nothing can keep up with such changes.

The coaches of the two sides made commands on the sidelines almost at the same time-at this time, their choices were almost the same: the midfielder increased the intensity of pressing and raiding, creating chaos, and only with chaos can there be opportunities! [

Obviously, although Chelsea were caught off guard, they still had an advantage on the court.But the struggle between the two sides was very fierce: Drogba's dribbling raid was intercepted by Hyypia, but Hyypia was intercepted by Joe Cole when he passed the ball forward.But before Joe Cole broke through with the ball, Riise fouled Joe Cole and interrupted Chelsea's offensive.

The extremely fast pace immediately mobilized the enthusiasm of the fans.

Duff passed a free kick from the right into the penalty area, but was cleared by Carragher in time.Although there were no real chances in the game, Chelsea still had the advantage in the midfield, and Liverpool's 5-man midfield did everything they could to prevent the Blues from advancing.

"Through the rain, through the wind, you'll never walk alone..."

In less than 10 minutes, the singing sounded, and the fans also understood the significance of this game, and their singing sounded earlier than usual.

In the 13th minute, Drogba broke through with the ball from the right side of the frontcourt, but again, Hyypia stopped him, and Drogba was tripped to the ground, which made the referee Bennett who came over, against Hypia Ya showed a yellow card as a warning.

It was not a good thing to get a yellow card at such a short time in the opening, which also made all Liverpool fans boo Drogba who was suspected of diving.Drogba turned a deaf ear and stood up, patted his body, and went to participate in grabbing points again.

Lampard took the free kick from about 20 yards from the goal.His direct free throw was so powerful that Liverpool's wall couldn't help but get out of the way.And his ball was able to pass through the wall, but the position of his free kick was too straight, and Dudek hugged him directly.

As Chelsea's several breakthroughs were unsuccessful, Liverpool gradually stabilized their position.Soon, Liverpool tried to seize the counterattack opportunity to expand the score. In the 26th minute, when Zhao Yaning sent the ball to Garcia's feet, Lampard also fouled Garcia.His foul was also given a yellow card warning by the referee-in just over 20 minutes, two yellow cards made the game even more intense.

Free kick chance.

When he saw the back of Chelsea, who were waiting in full force, Zhao Yaning also knew that it might be difficult for this kick to directly lead to a goal.But that doesn't mean he has no other options.He lifted his foot, didn't shoot, but sent the ball to the feet of Gerrard who was almost parallel to the wall!

Makelele rushed over at the first time, trying to foul Gerrard outside the penalty area, but he still underestimated Gerrard's strength. Although he held Gerrard back, Gerrard still pushed hard Earn, fell into the restricted area!

"Penalty!"

Immediately there was a shout from above the stands.

But the referee did not make such a penalty.Although he did not hesitate to draw cards against Makelele, he was very stingy in the penalty kick.Moreover, the ball Gerrard fell was indeed suspected of deceiving a penalty kick, so the referee did not whistle a penalty kick.

The penalty also made the fans boo louder.

And just 1 minute later, Chelsea ushered in an excellent opportunity.After they counterattacked, Drogba's shot was saved by Dudek.

Duff took the right-hand corner and Carvalho earned the first point on the left side of the six-yard box, he made a header ferry and Lampard came in from the back with a clever header to put the ball Hanging far, but Luis Garcia, standing on the goal line, blocked the ball with a chest stop near the far post, and then kicked the ball away with a big kick to the touchline.

This opportunity made Chelsea fans sigh, but they had no choice but to accept the result. [

In the 34th minute, the action of both sides became bigger again. This time, Riise's pulling foul on Ferreira, who had inserted an assist in the back row, was stopped by the referee, which also earned him a yellow card. .And immediately after a Chelsea free-kick, Finnan tripped Duff on the edge of the box and Duff rolled into the box almost immediately.

"Penalty!"

This time, it was the Chelsea fans' turn to shout.

But the referee once again chose to ignore the fall.

"The intensity of this game is indeed rare this season." Lineker also had to admit Liverpool's strength, "Chelsea faced most of the teams this season. But when they face Liverpool, they can't always win. It has to be said that Liverpool's defense has its own characteristics."

"Chelsea is just lucky. They don't spend as much against strong teams as they do against underdogs." Coreymore said immediately, "There is nothing remarkable about such a team."

"Does it have to win against a strong team and lose against all kinds of weird things against the relegation team to be considered a strong team?" Lineker immediately complained back, "Liverpool this season, against the Saints and the Saints. Birmingham dares to lose, is this the style of a strong team?"

"I would rather look at a team that is strong when it meets the strong, than a team that only bullies the weak." Comerlier said.

At this time, another dispute occurred on the court: in 42 minutes, Gerrard fouled Joe Cole in the frontcourt. This foul also triggered a dispute between the two players. And Carvalho started jostling.Although the referee Bennett verbally persuaded Carvalho and Kewell, he also warned both sides of the game. After all, if this style of play continues, it will be out of control sooner or later.

Until the end of the first half, it is no wonder that neither side scored any more goals. Both are defensive masters, and they both pay enough attention to the game. If they can score more goals in their games, that would be a strange thing Woolen cloth.

Throughout the first half, Liverpool strictly implemented Benitez's tactics, which is to defend and counterattack.That gave the Reds a one-goal lead going into the break.But the problem is that Benitez gradually saw the problem: in this game, Chelsea's prediction of Liverpool's tactics was very accurate. Although Liverpool scored a goal at the beginning of the first half, they also successfully launched a few An attack, but in the overall situation, the situation began to tilt towards Chelsea.

Is it time for a replacement?Benitez was a little undecided.It would be fine if it was a draw, but Liverpool is clearly leading by one goal now, and it is not very good to make substitutions at this time.

But obviously, Mourinho is not as indecisive as Benitez. At the beginning of the second half, his substitution caused exclamation.

"Replace Jarosic and replace with Gudjohnsen? In this way, doesn't it mean that the lineup is 424? Crazy substitutions!"

It is indeed an extremely crazy way of playing.Although after replacing the double forwards, Chelsea's lineup is equivalent to only two midfielders left, and their four forwards in the frontcourt started to attack the goal, vowing to score a goal.

Jarosic is Chelsea's weakness, he is not good enough on the court.However, Mourinho's way of replacing a midfielder and throwing up a striker is still extremely surprising. It is too big a gamble to attack like this just after halftime.

But this substitution did have a big effect.Drogba suppressed the defense very well, but because his shooting was so poor that he didn't pose much of a threat, so he couldn't threaten Liverpool's goal.However, after adding a Gudjohnsen, Chelsea's threat in the penalty area increased greatly, and Liverpool also had to shrink their front to defend. This also greatly increased Zhao Yaning's assault distance and slowed down his attack.

And Chelsea's attack was launched again.Joe Cole made a breakthrough on the right, stuck behind Hyypia, and fell directly to the ground.This time, when the referee came over, he had already reached into his pocket.

"Liar!" the Liverpool fans yelled loudly, "Chelsea are all liars!"

Seems to have heard the cries of the fans, the referee who came over, after discussing with the line referee, still did not draw the card. This penalty made Mourinho walk around the sidelines a little dissatisfied. If Hyypia is sent off, This game is going to be very different.

Soon, Liverpool committed another foul.Luis Garcia fouled Gallas near the sideline, but the referee did not draw the card. He did not draw the card twice in a row, which also angered Mourinho. He rushed to the fourth official Phil Closley and vented loudly My own dissatisfaction, "Are you going to see my player's leg broken, so you are willing to take out a card?"

In such a scene, the referee Bennett stepped forward quickly, warned him a few words, and calmed his anger. [

"Coach Mourinho really doesn't have enough magnanimity." Alan Hansen, who was on Liverpool's side, wouldn't say anything good for Chelsea, "Although the coach participated in the celebration, it's great to see that once or twice. It's an exciting thing, and it's really admirable for the head coach to protect the players and speak up. But so many times, every time a player scores a goal, he celebrates, and the team complains when he can't start the situation. It’s not grand enough. I’ve seen Coach Paisley coach, Ferguson and Arsene Wenger coach, as a head coach, at least calmness and self-confidence should be there.”

"It's like the Benitez with an unmoving expression on your side after a season?"

This sentence made Alan Hansen choke back, "Maybe, you don't have to be so calm..."

"He just complained when the team couldn't win." Comerlier said, "But I think, now, he should be happy."

But at this time, on the court, something happened again. Kewell fell to the ground and sprained his ankle while dribbling the ball.

"Harry Kewell is injured again?" Lineker was a little embarrassed, "It's a good job, basically spent in bed... Well, Kewell is going to be replaced, let's see , This will change the situation on the court."

In fact, at this time, when he said this, he already knew what the result would be: the balance of the game had already tilted towards Chelsea.
