Super Coach

At the beginning of the second half, Liverpool continued to press forward as Mourinho expected.

But because Mourinho reminded the players during the halftime break, and after the halftime break, the Blues fans recovered a little bit of their physical fitness, so they defended Liverpool's attack very well.

The two sides engaged in a fast-paced confrontation for a full 10 minutes. Chelsea continued to use its own half-court tactics to create its own high-pressure defense. This set of defense once again confirmed Mourinho's confidence and froze Liverpool's attack.

After 10 minutes, Yang Cheng waved his hand and the team began to slow down and began to control the ball and adjust more.

There is nothing you can do about it. If you blindly carry out fast breaks that are ineffective, you will only waste your own energy in the end and give your opponent more opportunities and chips.

This bastard is really like a turtle, shameless! Yang Cheng shook his head and smiled bitterly.

You still have to be careful about Chelsea's counterattack! Benitez reminded.

Yang Cheng was not so carried away that he thought Chelsea would not shoot for the entire game, so as soon as he adjusted, he signaled the players to stabilize the situation and be careful of Chelsea's counterattack.

As if to confirm this, Chelsea quickly launched a counterattack on the left.

Gallas intercepted the ball from Ronaldinho's feet. The Frenchman even directly knocked Ronaldinho to the ground who was trying to dribble the ball. Then he carried the ball forward and handed it to Joe Cole who was retreating.

Glen Johnson was marking Joe Cole, but the latter, who is known as England's most exquisite technique, made a flexible escape. After passing Glen Johnson, he dribbled the ball and inserted it on the left.

This was Chelsea's first truly threatening attack in the entire game. The Blues fans at Stamford Bridge suddenly burst into overwhelming cheers. They were all looking forward to the team's counterattack, killing Liverpool and ending the battle. .

After Joe Cole got the ball on the left, facing Carragher who came out to block him, he just used his personal skills to get rid of Carragher with a kickback and passed the ball across the middle.

Lampard stepped in from the back row, and with Carrick's interference, he volleyed the ball in front of him.

This shot was powerful and heavy, but the angle was a bit high. Reina jumped high, but still couldn't reach it. The ball flew directly out of the baseline, and it was Liverpool's goal kick.

Chelsea finally made it in the 61st minute.

Completed his first shot of the game! Andy Gray was a little helpless, A long shot from outside the penalty area of ​​Lampard turned into an anti-aircraft gun, but we can see that Chelsea is starting to have ideas to counterattack, which may make the game a little bit smoother. Look better.

It's so depressing. When the game is completely reduced to a battle of attrition of willpower, apart from being nervous, no one will find it enjoyable.

The so-called good-looking game refers to the gorgeous goal-scoring battle and mercury-dropping passing and receiving coordination. That is good-looking.

But the match between Liverpool and Chelsea was not good-looking at all. It could only be described as intense at best.

Is he finally willing to stick his head out? Yang Cheng looked at Mourinho outside the home team's coaching bench.

What he fears most is not the opponent who is willing to counterattack or attack, but the opponent who has a defensive mentality.

The iron barrel formation is definitely a nightmare for all attackers!

Not necessarily! Benitez shook his head, It's a little early to press it now.

Yang Cheng sighed. He also felt that it was more like a spontaneous counterattack by the players based on the situation on the field, rather than Mourinho's intentional arrangement.

…………

…………

Carrick stands in the middle of his own half, about 40 meters in front of the goal. Behind him is the center back combination of Hyypia and Carragher. In front of him, Gerrard and Essien top in front of.

The Liverpool players wearing red jerseys are retreating, waiting for Cech to take the goal kick.

When attacking just now, Carrick sprinted forward for more than 30 meters. As a result, Ronaldinho shot the pass out of the penalty area. He had to run back again. This was just one of countless turnaround runs throughout the game.

But this time, he seemed to have exhausted all his strength. He could clearly feel that his legs were trembling, limp, and wanted to fall over.

In this game, Chelsea's midfielder caused him a lot of trouble. Lampard, Makelele and Thiago firmly locked the midfielder, among which Makelele and Thiago were further back. , Lampard moved forward, obviously targeting Carrick.

Just to get rid of their entanglement, Carrick needs to keep running and is exhausted.

Now, his legs felt like they were filled with lead, and his brain couldn't drive them as usual.

But when he saw the ball kicked out by Cech, he immediately raised his head.

Seeing the ball slowly coming towards him, Carrick immediately made a prediction. He moved a few steps to the left with difficulty. Lampard also reacted immediately and saw When he came out, he also guessed where the ball would land.

Carrick arrived at the predicted landing point earlier, leaped high to face the incoming ball, put his shoulder against Lampard, closed his eyes, flicked his head, and pushed the ball forward desperately.

The ball fell to Essien, but the Ghanaian immediately knocked it across to Gerrard, who directly hit it back because he could not find a suitable passing point in front.

The ball goes back and forth between Carragher, Hyypia and the full-backs.

Carrick was breathing heavily. Just now, in order to compete with Lampard for speed, he sprinted again. This made his physical strength almost unbearable, and he could only gasp in the distance.

Sweat fell from his hair and forehead one by one, and every time it almost seeped into his eyes, he reached out to wipe it away.

Everyone could see that his physical energy was almost exhausted. From the corner of his eye, he saw Yang Cheng shouting at Ashavin from the sidelines. It was obvious that he wanted the Russian to come on to replace Carrick.

This is also a major change Yang Cheng has made this season. When Carrick is absent, he will try to let Essien and Gerrard play as double central midfielders, with a shadow forward in front, playing a position close to 4231. Tactics, after all, Asshavin and Gerrard have different technical characteristics, and their personal abilities are also different.

Just like what Yang Cheng said when he introduced Ashavin, he was aiming to bring more changes and richer tactical methods to the team, rather than simply pursuing one main player and one substitute. significance.

Do you want to replace me?

Carrick had a feeling in his heart. He knew that his physical fitness was almost the same. It was understandable that the boss chose to replace him at this time. After all, if he continued to stay on the court, he would not be able to contribute much.

But just when he was about to accept the fact that he was off the field, he suddenly saw Joe Cole not far away. The latter was chasing Glen Johnson, preparing to steal the ball, forcing Glen Johnson to The ball is passed back to Carragher.

He can still run!

Carrick felt a little funny in his heart. You know, Joe Cole's physical fitness was not as good as his in the past.

This comparison gave him a fighting spirit.

When he was at West Ham United, Joe Cole was the captain. Everyone felt that he was the core of the team for granted, while Carrick was just an assistant serving him. This was somewhat uncomfortable in Carrick's heart. Convinced.

Now that he has come to Liverpool and has achieved some success, is he still going to lose to him?

He remembered what Yang Cheng said during the halftime break. He wanted Joe Cole to defeat Lampard!

When he thought of this, he gritted his teeth and ran towards the center, raising his right hand high, Here, Jamie!

Carragher was being disturbed by Crespo and as soon as he heard the movement, he immediately passed the ball in front of him.

This is what Yang Cheng emphasizes the most in training. You should not focus on the person when passing the ball, but focus on his running route and pass the ball in front of him so that he can continue to perform actions after receiving the ball more comfortably.

The ball came to the front of Carrick, and there was no one around. He slowed down and passed the ball to the retreating captain Gerrard.

This is a guy who plays very smart and knows when to go forward and when to come back.

Gerrard took the ball with his back, and Makelele was behind him. He was not sure about challenging the Frenchman one-on-one, so he knocked back.

Carrick moved forward, facing the incoming ball, and the overall situation of the entire stadium appeared in front of him. He felt that after nearly half an hour of defense in the second half, Chelsea began to consciously move the pressing area forward, especially Just after Cech took the goal kick, the ball was always on Liverpool's side, and there was a big gap between their defense and the goal.

Who can get there fastest?

Larson retreated as Gerrard retreated. Ronaldinho was about to come back to meet Glen Johnson and moved further back. Only Robben was left in the frontcourt. He was always cruising in Ferreira's path. nearby.

In just a moment, Carrick made a judgment.

Spotting the incoming ball, he swung his foot and made a long diagonal pass.

The ball flew out from his feet, high, but the arc was beautiful and the speed was fast enough.

From the Liverpool half to Chelsea's penalty area, it is about 60 meters away. The pass is far enough and sudden enough!

Robben also saw Carrick's movements in an instant. He had cooperated with Carrick for so long and knew exactly what he would do after passing the ball, so he immediately chose to lean on Ferreira.

The Portuguese instinctively felt the danger, but he didn't have time to react. Just in a blink of an eye, he saw that Robben had accelerated past his defense zone.

There was no offside, because at the moment Carrick passed the ball, Robben and Ferreira were in the same position, but they were further back than Terry and Carvalho, and the Dutchman's explosive power allowed him to rush When he got up, the speed was so frightening that Ferreira had no time to react. He didn't even realize that Carrick was going to pass a long ball. Robben had already passed him and couldn't stop him.

The ball spanned more than half of the court, landed and bounced on the left side of the Chelsea penalty area.

Terry chased after him, Robben was also very fast, and Carvalho was also helping to defend. Cech was standing a little outside just now, but now he is hesitating about whether to attack? Or go back to the goal line and hand Robben to Terry and Carvalho?

Robben was very fast and entered the penalty area. Terry also caught up from the side and was about to touch the ball. However, Robben suddenly hooked with his left foot and the ball hit the instep of his left instep, as if he was hit by a collision. It reached a wall and bounced behind Terry, but Terry couldn't hold back and slipped out.

Beautiful, Robben made a very beautiful pick and shook away Terry... Andy Gray couldn't help but marveled at Robben's pick, which fully demonstrated Robben's outstanding ball. feel.

The ball fell to his right, and Carvalho pressed forward immediately. He knew that Robben's right foot was almost disabled!

But what he didn't know was that Robben was working on his right foot skills. Although it was still very poor, at least he could still pick up the ball.

I saw Robben pick another shot with his right foot, Carvalho's clearance failed, and the ball returned to Robben's left side.

The landing point is also very good, just suitable for his left foot to exert force, and Cech only felt the threat at this time, and his whole body was retreating towards the goal line. Obviously he had seen the threat from Robben.

But the Dutchman refused to let him retreat, and directly hit a curve ball. The Czech jumped high, hoping to stop it, but he couldn't reach it. The ball went over his head, almost grazing the crossbar, and fell into the goal.

ALLLLLLLLLL!!! Andy Gray roared crazily.

In the 77th minute, after receiving a long pass from the backcourt, Aryan showed his outstanding football skills at the front of Chelsea's penalty area. After continuously picking the ball over people, he shot a curved ball and penetrated Chelsea. goal!

The live TV camera was focused on Robben, the hero of the goal. The Dutchman rushed out of the penalty area almost immediately, opened his hands, and rushed outside the stadium excitedly. He made a fist-bumping action and directed towards the stands. The fans couldn't tell whether they were Chelsea or Liverpool fans, and they roared excitedly.

It's so beautiful! Carrick made a long pass from the backcourt and sent the ball directly to Chelsea's penalty area. Robben used his speed and skills to pass the ball directly under the double-teaming of Terry and Carvalho. To score in Chelsea's goal is an outstanding display of personal ability.

Speaking of this, Andy Gray couldn't help but laugh, The current Liverpool team really has to be admired. Whether it is the overall strength or the personal abilities of the stars, they are all combined very well, and they are always able to maintain the height of the game. With concentration, the team's overall skills and tactics have also reached maturity, the only thing missing is an explosion!

I remember that someone interviewed Yang Cheng before and asked about Liverpool's performance this season. Yang Cheng said something very puzzling. He said it was a Chinese idiom. It was obvious that he felt that the current situation Liverpool is still in the accumulation stage, accumulating game experience, accumulating player understanding, accumulating star strength, etc., and even the club is also accumulating financial strength.

We have to admire Yang Cheng's planning for the team, because the team he leads can always show gratifying progress and strength when faced with doubts, making people believe that they are on a path of development. On the road.”

When Andy Gray was speaking, the live TV camera had already played two slow-motion shots of the goal from different angles, and then focused on the Liverpool players on the sidelines. Robben and others were seen celebrating the goal vigorously on the sidelines.

They pressed Chelsea for more than an hour, but this tenacious team relied on iron-barrel defense to prevent them from scoring. Now, when they score, they must use the most unscrupulous celebration to stimulate them. .

Look, no matter how hard you defend, even if you stuff all 11 players into the goal, we can still get the ball in!

Mourinho seemed very angry because just when he was about to start a counterattack, the team conceded the goal, and for once he couldn't tell who was at fault for conceding the goal. It was so damn frustrating!

You must know that not conceding the ball is his first principle in this game. All his tactical ideas are based on not conceding the ball, because he knows better than anyone that if Liverpool scores a goal, the game will change. It's very, very difficult to fight.

Everyone knows that Chelsea is not good at attacking and their forward line is weak.

Now that we have lost the ball, what are we going to do next?

He has only one choice, the only choice, press it out!

F***ing bastard! Mourinho was so angry that he really wanted to yell.

On the contrary, Yang Cheng was on the side, excitedly high-fiving the assistants and players around him. Although Liverpool had the advantage, he was not absolutely sure of scoring because he was facing Mourinho.

But now, his players tell him with actions that no matter who they face, Liverpool can beat him down!

The only regret was Ashavin. When he came back from warming up, he found that the team had scored a goal, so he stood there celebrating with his teammates. Then he looked at Yang Cheng stupidly and asked timidly, Boss, I Are you still coming?

Yang Cheng was stunned and immediately woke up, hinting that he must not get carried away with joy.

Go up, why not go up? Yang Cheng directly put his arm around Asavin's shoulders and leaned towards him, Old rules, after you go up to attack the shadow forward, you can move around freely, but pay attention to Thiago, the Portuguese, No. 30 , he’s gone, go up and kill him!”

Yang Cheng's expression and tone were more like a messenger inciting the other party to kill, but the murderer Ashavin kept nodding, absolutely loyal to Yang Cheng's arrangements.

Remember, when advancing, advance from the side, with Robben and Ronaldinho coming. Do you understand?

The personal abilities of these two wide players enable them to complete the task of dribbling the ball as long as they get space.

Soon, taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, Asavin came up and replaced Carrick.

When the Englishman came off the field, he was cheered by Liverpool fans, came to Yang Cheng's side, hugged the head coach, and was praised by Yang Cheng.

But at the same time, Chelsea was also making adjustments, and Mourinho also took advantage of this opportunity to replace Crespo with Wright-Phillips, obviously to strengthen the offense.

As Yang Cheng said, in Chelsea's tactics, centers like Crespo are very ineffective. This is the reason for the Argentine forward's poor performance this season. It would be better to use Wright-Phillips or Burrow. Even this speed type will be more threatening.

Seeing Mourinho replace Wright-Phillips, Yang Cheng immediately made a gesture towards Gerrard, indicating that he should stabilize the situation, don't be greedy for credit, and leave the offense to the four players in the frontcourt. He and Essien have to guard against Chelsea's counterattack.

But deep down, his idea is to score another goal!
