The strongest winger

Chapter 600
The game restarted, and the Liverpool fans in the stands were still singing "You'll Never Walk Alone", as if they planned to keep singing during the game.

Relying on the momentum of just scoring a goal, Liverpool continued to advance the formation by five meters. All four defenders passed the center line, and the two full-backs Riise and Arbeloa were almost becoming wingers.

Although Chelsea wanted to quickly equalize the score, they also knew that Liverpool, now relying on their home advantage, was in full swing and was not suitable for "fighting against the wind". Therefore, they put their minds back on defense. After all, the game is a 90-minute battle. There is no need to rush to equalize the score, otherwise it will be counterproductive.

After surviving Liverpool's three strikes, Chelsea began to organize an attack in an orderly manner. According to Mourinho's instructions, Aiello consciously inserted more space in the two ribs. Sure enough... he found a good opportunity, but the shot was right under the interference of central defender Agger, and was caught in the arms of goalkeeper Reina.

Liverpool saw that they did not rely on the momentum of the goal to expand the score to two goals in one fell swoop, so they stopped when they saw it, and slowly retreated the defense to their own half. Otherwise, it would be bad for Aiello to take advantage of the chance to win with active running, because the value of away goals is much higher than that of home goals.

It is necessary to ensure that no goals are conceded as much as possible at home, followed by goals.

Seeing that Liverpool no longer forced the attack, Chelsea did not rush to attack. They advanced layer by layer and slowly organized the attack, which seemed like boiling frogs in warm water.

The rhythm of the game can change frequently in a short period of time, which is inseparable from the head coach on the sidelines. In other words, the level of the head coach restricts the progress of a team. There is no doubt that Benitez and Mourinho are both very high-level head coaches.

Liverpool's formation recovered, and Chelsea naturally took up the offensive banner. Apart from Mikel's protection in the middle, Lampard and Ballack both actively participated in the attack.

It is worth mentioning the division of labor between Lampard and Ballack. If Lampard advances, Ballack will shoulder the heavy responsibility of connection and organizing the offense. Similarly, if Ballack advances, then this job will be done by Lampard.

In fact, after Ballack came to Chelsea before the end of the summer transfer window this season, the British media were discussing the coexistence of Lampard and Ballack, because both of them are central midfielders with very strong forward ability, so the question arises, how to coexist?Who is ahead and who is behind?

This is also very normal to think of the coexistence of dual virtues in the England national team. However, Mourinho's head is flexible, and he thought of such a situation where the two players take turns to move forward without sacrificing any offensive ability, thus making it more difficult for the opponent to defend.

This is the way Mourinho can imagine to solve the combination of two extremely powerful central midfielders.

In the 29th minute of the game, that is, 10 minutes after conceding the goal, Chelsea defended Liverpool's quick counterattack. Ballack controlled the ball in the backcourt. Lampard actively advanced, and the important task of organizing was handed over to Ballack.

Liverpool's defensive enthusiasm is very strong. Seeing that the attacking opportunity is gone, they retreated like a tide and quickly retreated to their own half. Ballack shook his head. He wanted to pass the ball to the full-back Ashley Cole and take the ball after getting rid of Gerrard's defense. Aiello of the line.

Shhhhhhhh-
Suddenly, the Liverpool fans near the left sideline let out a loud boo.

But Ai Luo's attention is on the football. It can be said that he doesn't hear the sound of the stands, and only cares about the ball at his feet.

Because Ai Luo's position is stretched to the side, according to Benitez's pre-match deployment, Mascherano, one of the double midfielders, does not need to step forward to defend. He can only keep up when he is close to the 30-meter area. Therefore, Ai Luo who holds the ball is very free and can take two steps forward calmly.

It's just...you can only take two steps.

Bringing the ball into Liverpool's 30-meter defense line, Mascherano stared fiercely at Aiello as if he felt that his defensive area had been violated.

He knew...he had set off Ai Luo's successful background in the past season, but he decided that this time he must be the protagonist last time, and the best chance to be on camera was to make the Chinese defense in front of him useless...

Aiello looked at Mascherano's stern attitude, grinned, passed the ball to Lampard who was following up in the middle, and then according to Mourinho's arrangement, he looked for opportunities from the space between the full-back and the others.

As usual, Mascherano still didn't dare to be careless, and followed Ai Luo in, he was afraid that his chances of being on camera today would be ruined by the Chinese beside him.

Ai Luo passed the ball, and then accelerated to the space between the central defender and the full-back.

To use a common saying - the intention is too obvious.

※※※

In the shot, after Aiello passed the ball across to Lampard who was plugging in, he immediately accelerated to the rib space between Arbeloa and Carragher, and immediately attracted some comments from the commentator in the studio.

"Chelsea's tactical cooperation intention is too obvious. The most common winger's crossing forward in the Premier League is to hit the wall... This kind of simple cooperation is facing a Champions League team like Liverpool. It is difficult to make a difference. There is no doubt...Chelsea's attack will definitely return in vain..."

BBC TV commentator Lineker shook his head and said.

Huang Jianxiang, who was broadcasting live, also shook his head at Chelsea's attack: "Chelsea's offense is too simple. If this game is against other Premier League teams, there may be unexpected results, but Liverpool is a super strong team in the Champions League - the best team in England and Europe. It is impossible for Lampard to pass the ball in. Besides... Aiello is the most threatening player in the Chelsea team. From the past half an hour, as long as he enters the 30-meter area defended by Liverpool, Argentine international Javier Mascherano will immediately Personal interference... This is also the root cause of his poor performance in the past half an hour..."

Even Sky TV commentator Andy Gray, who has always supported Chelsea, sighed and announced the end of this attack: "A simple hit-the-wall cooperation is impossible to succeed, unless Liverpool's defensive players collectively lose their minds at this moment, or Lampard's passing and cutting are very precise, and he plays exquisitely with the running Ai..."

Lampard observed the positions of Drogba on the center and Malouda on the right before he got the ball, both of which are not ideal, and Aiello, who has passed the ball, is the most ideal target for passing the ball, because it is full of uncertainty, you can try, maybe... there will be unexpected results?
Of course, Lampard can also choose to control the ball, stabilize the rhythm, and wait until Ballack steps forward before continuing to attack, but this is a bit conservative, and without the suddenness of the attack, it is difficult to break through Liverpool's gate in a positional attack.

Therefore, Lampard chose to pass directly behind central defender Carragher.

Aiello, who went forward, didn't look up at the ball at all. In the past season, he has formed a good tacit understanding with Lampard. Besides...it doesn't matter if the pass is in place or not. At that time, you only need to stop the ball and shoot. If the pass is not in place, it is useless to look up.

In order to avoid Carragher, who was consciously approaching his forward line, Aiello took a big turn to the left. In addition, there was a strong-willed and physically fit Javier Mascherano beside him, so Ailuo's speed did not increase to the fastest.

Carragher stepped back to the penalty area line and watched the football jump high in the air, intending to push the football out, but he overestimated his jumping ability, or underestimated the quality of the kick passed by the national teammate Lampard. He jumped up, but the football didn't even touch a hair.

Andy Gray, who sighed after watching Lampard and Aiello's pass and cut with the prelude, suddenly raised his voice an octave, and his voice was full of surprise. In Carragher's career, there are very few situations where he falls to the top!

"Carragher has fallen!"

Mascherano has been following Aiello closely, and at the same time he also used the small movements of pulling the jersey. Even though Ailuo's speed is amazing, there is no way to get rid of it less than ten meters away from the bottom line.

After all, the power of the football passed by Lampard is not very strong. If Aiello speeds up, it is easy to rush out of the bottom line. Mascherano, who has always stuck to the inside line, is likely to destroy the football.

At the same time, the goalkeeper Reina also slowly moved to the near corner of the goal. He intends to block Ai Luo's shooting angle-even though Ai Luo is now close to Mascherano, he still dare not neglect.

At this moment, Aiello, who was only five meters away from the bottom line, suddenly turned around and stuck in the position under the condition of deceleration, and stopped the football that Lampard picked into the penalty area with his chest.

Mascherano never thought that Aiello would handle the ball like this, but he reacted very quickly. Taking advantage of his low foot, he wanted to stretch his feet to hook the ball, but Aiello reacted faster than him. He directly used the advantage of his height and long legs to step forward with his left leg, and then pouted his buttocks, directly pushing Mascherano behind him.

Considering that it was in the penalty area, Mascherano didn't dare to be presumptuous, but tightly blocked Ai Luo's shooting space facing the goal direction, and Ai Luo also lost the space to shoot the goal immediately in order to control the ball.

Seeing that Carragher, who had fallen from the top, was about to form a pincer attack with Mascherano, Ai Luo lightly passed the ball to the front left 45, swayed the angle, and then twisted his waist, swung his hip and swung his right foot in the flash between the lightning and flint...Shoot!
No one thought that Aiello would forcibly kick his foot when Mascherano blocked his shooting angle, so when Mascherano realized that Aiello was hitting the goal, it was too late to react with his foot stretching, and the football hit the far corner of the goal like a cannonball.

"Oh-My-God!!! Ai - straight shot!"
