I work as a coach at Stamford Bridge

Chapter 150

There are still more than 30 minutes before the end of the game, and Chelsea will face the situation of playing one less player. In addition, there are still three players in the team with a yellow card on their backs. This game is difficult to play.

Yunqiao immediately replaced Mikel, replaced Arshavin, strengthened the defense, took the initiative to give them the ball, and played a defensive counterattack.

Benitez was happy, and called the players to come out to warm up, and he also wanted to make a substitution.

One less player was played, and so many yellow cards were backed. In the next period of time, Liverpool began to play against Chelsea.
In the 65th minute, Mikel opened his hand in front of the penalty area to block Torres' shot. Riley awarded a free kick, but he didn't play a card. Gerrard hit the wall with a free kick.Then, Carragher also made an assist. In the cross from the right, Mascherano headed the goal from 13 yards. The strength was not enough, and Cech easily hugged it.

However, Chelsea has lost its advantage in the midfield. Facing Liverpool, which is playing one more player, Chelsea is a bit overwhelmed.

In the 67th minute, Gerrard and Cole touched each other on the left edge of the penalty area, and suddenly fell to the ground. Cole rushed to Riley to show that the opponent dived. Riley did not give a penalty and signaled the game to continue.

Benitez off the court was very dissatisfied. He was communicating with the fourth official. He didn't yell. Now the advantage is still on his side. He doesn't want to ruin his advantage for this matter, but he still has to express his opinion from.

The team was crushed to death during this time, and Yunqiao asked Ballack to come out to warm up and prepare to replace Lewandowski. In this situation, it is still necessary to stabilize the midfield and at least control the ball.

Benitez made the first substitution, replacing striker Liera with midfielder Benayoun. His role in the front is relatively small, and he has no chance in the face of Terry and Carvalho's defense.

His idea is the same as that of Yunqiao, to strengthen the control of the midfield, and those who win the midfield will win the world. Barcelona in the next one or two years will fully embody this sentence.

In 70 minutes, just after Benitez came on, Yunqiao also replaced Ballack. "Control the ball in the midfield and try not to lose the ball. Let's look for opportunities to counterattack." He ordered next to Ballack.

Ballack's playing did not solve the problem of losing his position in the midfield. Liverpool's players used their advantage over one player to move the football quickly. This should also be the tactic that Benitez practiced, playing one more player, It is natural to take advantage of this advantage.

Cech's performance today is abnormal. Although he can show his strength most of the time, he made a lot of mistakes today.

In the 72nd minute, Cech made another mistake. Facing Torres who broke into the penalty area, he attacked rashly even though he was still in front of Carvalho. Torres made a diagonal pass to find Benayoun. Fortunately, Carvalho made a timely clearance. Did not allow the opponent to kick the ball.

Then, the football was passed into the penalty area by Gerrard. Alonso caught the ball and shot it in one go. It hit Terry and popped out of the baseline.

But later Gerald wanted to make a foul, and he fell to the ground facing Ivan in the penalty area. Well, Gerald is not a student from a professional film and television academy, and he doesn't have much talent. This fall is too obvious. Lai A yellow card is given to you.

Benitez covered his face. This action is a bit embarrassing. If this game is not won, Liverpool's captain will become the headline of tomorrow's newspaper.

Chelsea is not saying that there is no chance at all. If they really want to play a defensive counterattack, Liverpool will really not be able to attack for a while, but they have to be careful of being counterattacked by the opponent.

In the 78th minute, Chelsea got a good chance. Kaka got the ball in the back court and didn't score the ball, but ran with the ball himself.One man scored the ball and left Aurelio behind.

The Liverpool players were terrified and ran back in a swarm. Carragher stayed ahead of Kaka and waited for his teammates to come back instead of grabbing.

Kaka suddenly crossed the middle. Drogba, who followed him, received the ball and wanted to pass the opponent's defender Arbeloa. The ball passed, but Arbeloa blocked him. Drogba directly It knocked Alberoa over.

Reina attacked in time and hugged the ball, and Drogba was complaining to Riley about Arbeloa's foul, but at this time they were arguing about whether to get a red card or a yellow card.

Riley still only issued a yellow card and added a free kick, because Arbeloa was not the last defensive player of Liverpool, and Skrtel was still at the end.

The position of the free kick is a bit far away, but it is still relatively straight. Ballack swung up and the ball was higher than the crossbar.

This can be regarded as an inoculation for the Liverpool players. They no longer dare to attack too hard. Yunqiao feels it is a pity. If the ball is wanted, the game can be defended with all its strength.

Then the two sides also kicked a shot. Ballack made a direct pass. Joe Cole's arc on the right side of the penalty area lacked strength and was confiscated by Reina. After 1 minute, Carragher passed the ball, and Alonso's long shot also missed. Missed the goal.

By the 80th minute, Chelsea's players had physical problems and were always being driven around by Liverpool's passing and receiving. Yunqiao had to give up the midfield and retreat to the backcourt.

But this time Liverpool's offense increased. First, Benayoun made a cross, and Torres was blocked in the penalty area. It was like a scorpion swaying its tail to shoot. The ball failed to hit the target. After all, it was not Ibrahimovic. .

Then Aurelio passed the ball, Benayoun's long-range shot in front of the penalty area was also saved by Cech, and the next second, he received a pass from Carragher, and the ball was passed to his forward, as long as the volley hook The shot is also slightly higher than the crossbar.

In the 84th minute, Benitez replaced Mascherano with Babel and the defensive midfielder with a striker. His meaning was very clear. In the last few minutes, he continued to strengthen his offense.

On Yunqiao's side, Alex also replaced Joe Cole and played a three midfielder, just to prevent a draw.Under the current situation, Yunqiao also felt lucky to have a draw.

Throughout the game, apart from Ivan's normal performance in Chelsea's starting defense, several others had more or less problems.

Benitez couldn't help it anymore, he stood on the sidelines and called the players to attack in a low voice. Seeing him dancing, he seemed to want to play by himself!
It is too difficult to score into Chelsea's penalty area and shoot. Now that players from both sides are gathered in the penalty area, the shots may be blocked by their own people. Therefore, in the 87th minute, Babel, who just came on the field, came from a distance. Foot, the ball is too far away from the goal, Benitez sees his own players messing around, so he will point at the players and scold them.Babel couldn't hear what the coach said, but he knew that the coach was dissatisfied with him just by looking at him.

The ball was taken to the midfield, and Drogba was snatched by Aurelio and Carragher. Aurelio didn't waste any time, and directly kicked the ball into Chelsea's penalty area. Can hit the target.

Is this God standing in front of Chelsea's goal?After the whole game, Liverpool's players didn't know how many kicks came, but there were too few hits inside the goal frame.

"Let them practice long-range shooting when they go back."

Benitez said to his assistant coach indignantly.
