Chapter 88
Although Harman, who was lacking in physical fitness, was replaced by Houllier and replaced by Redknapp, Chelsea did not slow down the offensive momentum because of Liverpool's substitution. At the same time, the offensive momentum was faintly stronger than before.

In the 78th minute, Lampard took a long shot and was saved by Dudek. Chelsea got another corner kick.

It has to be said that from the beginning of the game to the present, Lampard is definitely the most active player among the 22 players on the field, and he has also run the longest distance.

At present, the two sides are still able to run at extreme speed. Except for Lampard, the unbeatable iron man, there are only Redknapp and George who were replaced in the second half.

As for Chelsea, Ranieri has nothing to do, because Chelsea's current bench is not deep enough, even if they are replaced, it may not be able to play a good role, and it may even affect the current offensive momentum of the Blues, so Ranieri thought for a long time, and just replaced Gallas, who already had a yellow card, with Terry.

Lampard looked up at Liverpool's penalty area and found that Desailly had also arrived. For Chelsea, corner kicks were not as embarrassing as Liverpool's, because among Liverpool's striker killers, both Owen and Litmanen were technical and thin.So Lampard has many choices. After all, whether it is Desailly or Gudjohnsen, they all have good header ability.

Following the whistle of the referee, Lampard kicked the ball high, and the ball drew a beautiful arc in the air and fell towards the penalty area.

As the core of Liverpool's defense, Hyypia naturally defended Desailly closely. When he saw Lampard's pass, he went directly to Desailly at the back.

When the ball landed on top of their heads, both Desailly and Hypia jumped up at the same time. Although Desailly was not as tall as Hypia, Desailly's jumping ability was very good, and finally grabbed the ball with Hyypia in the air. However, since both of them grabbed the ball at the same time, they had no way to catch each other. The ball just changed direction and flew to the penalty area along their heads.

Due to the fierce offensive momentum of Chelsea during this period, even forwards such as George and Irving returned to their backcourt at this time, and George is currently outside the penalty area.

Seeing the ball falling towards him, George rushed over immediately, stopped the ball, looked up at the frontcourt, and found that there was no player in the frontcourt. At this moment, George realized that all his teammates returned to the penalty area to defend. Since he couldn't pass the ball, he could do it alone.Thinking of this, George took the ball and started running towards Chelsea's penalty area.

Before George could run ten meters away with the ball, Desailly, who quickly returned to defense, saw that he was the closest to George, and had already leaned in, ready to break the ball under George's feet, and wanted to slow down George's speed at worst.

For his defensive ability, Desailly is very confident. After all, he has won the title of "Rock" by virtue of his own defensive ability, which is not something ordinary people can have.

However, George's outstanding performance during this period, especially in the match between Liverpool and Manchester United, George's wonderful goal, made Desailly have to pay attention to it, and will not underestimate George because he is a newcomer.

Seeing Desailly rushing towards him from his front right, George did not slow down, but was very direct. He kicked the ball to his right side, bypassing Desailly, and at the same time rushed from the left, bypassing Desailly to catch up with the ball, and continued to run wildly.

It has to be said that as George continues to play, especially when passing people, George directly adopts simple and practical human ball passing.

Don't think that Desailly is a world-class defensive player, and you will be dissatisfied with being easily passed by George.We must know that in this world, there is another world-class defender who can successfully defend the opponent's breakthrough every time.Even world-class defensive masters such as the powerful Maldini and Caravaro have been broken by an unknown person.

After all, when the attacker and the defender are one-on-one, the attacker has a huge advantage. When and how to pass is the choice of the offensive player, while the defensive player cannot judge. The reason why Desailly can become a world-class defensive player can only be said to have a higher steal success rate than the average player, but it is only a few, so it is normal for George to pass with a single goal.

Passing Desailly, there was only Chelsea's last defender in front of George, that was Terry in the midfield at this time, because Desailly had an advantage over Terry in height, so when Chelsea took a corner kick just now, Desailly rushed to Liverpool's penalty area to fight for the corner kick, and Terry was responsible for defending Liverpool's quick counterattack.

Seeing that there was only one defender left in Chelsea, George was naturally not polite. He took the ball and rushed towards Terry in a big stride, because George knew that after he passed Terry, he would be able to form a one-on-one situation with the goalkeeper. For himself, the one-on-one situation was definitely a scoring opportunity.

Facing the menacing George who was rushing towards him, the special case turned his back to his own players and quickly backed away. At the same time, his eyes were fixed on George, ready to rush up and steal the ball at the right time.

Terry's speed was not very fast, and he was still going backwards at the same time, but he was overtaken by George in an instant, and at this time the two were still 40 meters away from the Chelsea players.

Terry saw George's speed was very fast, and he was less than ten meters away from him in a moment. Terry knew that he could no longer retreat, and it was time to rush up and break the ball under the opponent's feet.

Thinking of this, although Terry is still regressing non-stop, his speed has obviously slowed down, and he is ready to start stealing.

Terry's speed slowed down, but George's speed did not slow down, and soon George had rushed to a distance of less than three meters from Terry, and it was time for George to start breaking through.

At this moment, Terry suddenly stopped and backed up, and instead of retreating, he rushed towards George, with a sliding shovel, trying to break the ball under George's feet.

Although the distance between the two sides was very close, George's excellent response made George start to move in an instant without knowing it.Facing Terry's sliding tackle, George directly pulled the ball in with his left foot, and at the same time jumped up, as if standing on the ball, and began to turn around quickly. When George completed the 360-degree turn, he rubbed his right foot on the ball, making the ball continue to roll forward.

A very wonderful Marseille roundabout, perhaps because of the fast running, George's Marseille roundabout looks a bit forced, but anyway, George just subconsciously used this Marseille roundabout that he usually has nothing to do and often plays with Owen and Gerrard.

In Terry's very helpless eyes, George caught up with the ball and continued to rush towards Chelsea's penalty area.

Cudicini saw George getting closer, and at the same time found that his teammates could no longer catch up with George, and he could only rely on himself.Thinking of this, Cudicini roared, gave up the goal, and started to attack.

At this time, George was already close to the penalty area. Seeing that Cudicini gave up the goal and started to attack, George was not prepared to continue to break through Cudicini, because for the current George, this is no longer necessary.

Without the slightest hesitation, he spotted the goal and rubbed the bottom of the ball with his right foot. The ball jumped up briskly and fell towards Chelsea's goal.

Cudicini, who was on the attack, saw George start a lob shot, immediately stopped his attack, and began to retreat towards the goal desperately, but how could Cudicini catch up with the speed of the ball, and he could only watch the ball pass him and fall into the net.
