Midfielder.

Chapter 351

If you fall behind, you have to fight back. This is a very simple truth. As a coach with some qualifications, Benitez cannot understand these things, but understanding and whether he can really do it are completely different things.

It's not that he didn't think of fighting back, and he did so, but the final result, he probably can think of it himself.

Chelsea will not be like those three-legged cat teams. They are better than most Premier League teams in their ability to fight back against their opponents. Barcelona can't beat the defense. Do you expect Liverpool to score goals with this lineup?
It is estimated that a normal person would not have such an idea. It is not stupid or naive, but a mental illness.

Benitez finally made a tactical adjustment after 5 minutes in the second half. He replaced Harman, who was getting a little irritable, from the field.

In the past few minutes, when he was marking Lin Yi, he committed two fouls in a row.

If it wasn't for the referee's bad position at the time, maybe Harman would have been sent off by the Frenchman for showing a red card.

But Harman's behavior also reminded Benitez that he must calm down his players now.

Especially the players who were in charge of marking Lin Yi had to keep a clear head. That little black-haired lunatic was using himself as a bait to trap those Liverpool players who would stalk him at any time.

However, Benitez's adjustments did not show any effect. After he replaced Kewell to strengthen the wing attack, Mourinho's response was also very practical. Where is Kewell, Glenn. Johnson is over there.

This guy who never played cards according to common sense didn't care at all whether there was a gap in his wing. He just wanted to stare at the few offensive players of the Liverpool team, not only to death, but also to the disabled.

It's just like chess, I just exchanged pieces with you, whether you like it or not, you have to stand up no matter what.

The Australian, who has been plagued by injuries for more than a month and finally got the chance to play, is completely dumbfounded. The speed advantage he relied on the most has recently been weakened, and now he has no chance to run wild.

If you can't compete with a quasi-England national team defender who is so healthy that his blood vessels are about to burst, let alone compete with his body.

After Kewell came on the field, Glenn Johnson completely followed Mourinho's instructions and stared at the opponent every step of the way. He didn't even intend to give this guy a chance to pass from the bottom or run across the wing.

It can be said that Kewell didn't wait until he became the savior, and was ruthlessly strangled in the cradle by Mourinho.

Only Morientes played a little role after he came on the field. Taking advantage of the opportunity when the team began to press frequently, Baros and Morientes also found a sense of cooperation, and they finally found some opportunities. .

But most of the time on the field is still controlled by Chelsea, especially in terms of offense. The Chelsea team, which is already leading, has attacked more fiercely in the game, as if they are the team that is now behind.

In 1 minute, Lin Yi won a free kick for Chelsea in the frontcourt. Before Liverpool's human wall could be lined up, Lin Yi was very alert and suddenly hit the pass. Lampard was nearly 20 meters in front of the goal. Immediately kicked up the right caster and shot a strong shot, the football hit the defender with a strong spin and popped out of the baseline.

This shot can be said to be very sudden. Dudek didn't seem to react until the football popped out of the baseline.

Roaring, roaring, when Benitez saw this scene, he could do nothing but roar.

He really didn't understand why his players could still leave such an opportunity for the opponent at this critical moment!

But this is definitely not the final threat, this can only be regarded as a microcosm of Chelsea's crazy offense.

A thrilling free kick was dodged, but in the next few minutes, Lin Yi led the Chelsea team to launch a series of outlaw-like attacks. This kid definitely came with the heart of defeating the opponent.

In 3 minutes, Lin Yi suddenly swam from the middle to the right. Before Traore could react, this ghostly kid had already passed the semi-sluggish Traore and accelerated to cut into the penalty area.

Lin Yi used coherent and very confusing fake moves. After cutting into the penalty area, he also swayed Hyypia's marking. After dodging an angle, Lin Yi directly chose to kick with his right foot and made a great arc rubbing shot.

Dudek's nerves were severely tormented once again. He had already moved in place and was ready to block the near corner directly. This is good. Lin Yi's kick was so weird that it rubbed the shot, which directly made his block all the way. In vain.

If it wasn't for that kid's calf not exerting enough strength when kicking, Dudek might not even have a chance to save him.

But with such an embarrassing saving action, Dudek never wanted to try again in his life. After barely pulling the football out of the crossbar with his fingertips, the unlucky guy rolled and fell into the net. .

It is estimated that Dudek has never been so embarrassed in front of the TV camera in his life, but now he can only shake off the nets wrapped around his feet, and stand up quickly to meet Chelsea's corner kick.

"A smart shot. The only regret is that the power is a little bit weak. Otherwise, it would be difficult for the goalkeeper of the Liverpool team to get the football out of the crossbar at the last moment. Lin Yi's shot is very wise."

As the former chief center forward of England, whether it is Lineker or Shearer, they all have a keen sense of this kind of shooting opportunity. When they saw Lin Yi kicking this shot, they all sighed. How did that kid's brain grow, because in such a split second, he was able to make such tricky shooting choices.

"Maybe a few goals in a season can't explain the real strength of the kid. Maybe he cares too much about his passing, so he neglects to invest more energy in offense. There is no need to do more with this shot. What kind of analysis, just by his feeling, you can know that this kid is not necessarily not talented in shooting."

With these two top scorers who used to cross England as the screener, let alone those useless ones, it is estimated that if Faria heard this comment, he would nod in agreement, because the kid's progress is simply the speed of light.

Lin Yi didn't need others to worry about passing the ball in a small area. The natural feeling of passing the ball had already penetrated into his nerves. Even a subconscious through ball from him could pose an absolute threat. .

As for long passing and shooting, Lin Yi's progress this season has been astonishingly fast, especially for long passing, he can now be said to refer to where to pass, and the accuracy makes Drogba and Lampard two people. Benefited a lot.

Not to mention shooting, the one-and-a-half to two hours of special training every day has made this kid's shooting skills his one-of-a-kind weapon. Although Lin Yi didn't score many goals, but in key games, He can always contribute the most timely goals when he is needed most. This ability cannot be underestimated.

Said the kid's shot is terrible?Maybe, but don't forget, even Lin Yi like this can kill you.

Chelsea's offensive did not weaken at this moment, but became more aggressive. No.60 minutes, Robben took a free kick on the right, Terry directly grabbed the forward point from the back diagonal, rushed to the top of the small penalty area and missed the far goal column.

This time the header made Dudek break out in a cold sweat again, and he even yelled loudly at Carragher.

Seeing that Chelsea's offensive has completely gained the upper hand, Benitez can only continue to make personnel adjustments in desperation, hoping to contain Chelsea's current offensive. Cisse finally replaced the mediocre Baros.

But the little contribution that the French striker can make after playing may be to retreat to the front of the penalty area and help his forward teammate to make a ball. Let him break through the joint attack of Carvalho and Terry. It is impossible.

The Liverpool team is not without opportunities. No.608 minutes, Liverpool finally played a continuous cooperation in the middle. After a pass from Gerrard and Alonso, Garcia made a direct pass to the right side of the penalty area, and finally had a chance Cisse, who was plugged in, volleyed from a small angle with his right foot directly in the penalty area, and the football passed the crossbar.

But this was also the only chance for the Frenchman to shoot. After that, this guy was submerged in Chelsea's defensive crowd and never showed his head again. Benitez's three substitutions and adjustments were basically tragic.

Compared with the tragic Liverpool offensive line, Chelsea's offense and defense are both flourishing.

Free kicks, exquisite shots, sharp breakthroughs, such scenes emerge in endlessly, Lin Yi used such frequent and changeable methods to torture the nerves of the Liverpool team, although those fanatical Liverpool fans are still shouting desperately, But their roars will not affect Lin Yi's performance in the slightest.

This kind of defensive pressure is almost driving Benitez crazy. What Liverpool need most at this time is to press the offense, but now it seems that they put a little pressure on the opponent's defense, even their own. The defense was about to be pierced again by the opponent, which made the Liverpool players become irritable, especially the defensive actions became more fierce, and the confrontation between the two sides also became more frequent.

No. 603 minutes, Traore used his fierce tackle on the right side of the backcourt to bring down Lampard who had just received a pass from Lin Yi and was about to break through, and this guy didn't stop after the referee's whistle Under his own actions, not only pushed Lampard, but also threw the football far away.

The French referee will definitely not get used to Traore's problem. Liverpool's seventh yellow card came as promised, which made Benitez kick a water bottle away angrily on the sidelines, although he didn't know what he was talking about. , but it is nothing more than the idiot behavior of the players, or the partiality of the referee.

However, what made Benitez even more melancholy was still to come. Traore had just applied for a yellow card, and Biscayne, who was in charge of defense in the middle, stimulated his nerves in a very timely manner. This guy was in front of the penalty area. While marking Lin Yi, he slammed him into the turf again.

Lin Yi also very cooperatively hugged his calf and played rolling on the turf. Seeing such a scene, it is estimated that even if the French referee is mentally retarded, he would know what kind of penalty to make, just in Biscayne When the unlucky guy was pushed away by Drogba, the referee had already shown him a second yellow card. Two yellow cards turned into one red. This was a foul with no reason to refute. Now he is sent off lightly. that's it.

One goal behind and one player missing. When Benitez saw this scene, he probably thought the Spaniard's face was already green. What's going on?Originally, I didn't take any advantage when playing eleven against eleven, let alone have any advantage now, this damn foul!
But besides cursing, he had to quickly make substitutions and adjustments, and the offense that had been so hard to top up had to be withdrawn now, including Gerrard, who had to fill the vacancy after Biscayne was off the field. Hamann was originally off the field The defensive thickness of the midfield has been weakened, and now everything is in chaos. Biscayne was sent off again. Except for Alonso and Gerrard who can partner with the midfielder, Benitez may not be able to count on others to carry it now. from this position.

One person was sent off, which completely cut off the follow-up energy of Liverpool's attack that had just improved a little bit. Everyone kept making mistakes. No. 706 minutes, Dudek's mistakes almost made the Red Army fans faint , Robben made a diagonal pass at a 45-degree angle from the wing. Originally, the pass to the frontcourt had become harmless due to the interference of Carragher and others, but Dudek's judgment on the ball path appeared to be huge. He made a mistake, and he missed a very sure attack, and the football that avoided the Polish hands quickly rolled towards the goal. Fortunately, Traore was still standing on the goal line at this time. This guy's big foot made the siege. Dirk, but the boos from the Liverpool fans made Dudek feel ashamed.

When Benitez saw that such mistakes began to increase gradually, he seemed to have foreseen the final outcome. The Spaniard, who had been manic for a long time, stopped his loud yelling on the sidelines and returned to the coaching bench , as if waiting for the judgment to come.

This game is over for Liverpool, regardless of whether they are still struggling with this helpless situation, but the final result cannot be changed. The second half is absolutely cruel for them, not only the score Their confidence has also suffered a fatal blow.

The night sky at Anfield Stadium may be the best reflection if there is a little rain this night. Now Liverpool fans really have nothing to say. In their own home court, they not only want to watch their opponents win the game , They also have to watch their opponents step over themselves to get closer to the final.

A devastating blow, maybe when the summer transfer market comes, those beasts from London will bring them an even more painful experience.

A group of blue devils have wreaked havoc on the territory of the Red Army, and the door to the Champions League final is slowly opening to them. . .

(Now we are waiting for the Heat's first game against the Bulls on Monday morning. I wonder if Boozer and Noah can withstand the Heat's inside line. If they can, the Bulls will have a fight...)
