Chapter 473 There is a chance! [The fourth update of vomiting blood, please subscribe for a monthly pass]

After Yang Yang's goal, the game is still moving in a direction favorable to Liverpool.

Yang Yang's left side was very active, and it was still Liverpool's most threatening offensive line. He even pierced Bolarouz's crotch once, dribbled the ball into the penalty area, and picked a pass to assist Pennant, but the latter missed the goal.

But just when everyone thought that Liverpool would end the first half with a score of 40-[-], when the game progressed to No. [-] two minutes, Chelsea suddenly launched an offensive.

Lampard crossed from the right. Drogba was on the edge of the penalty area. After carrying Carragher with his body, he stopped the ball with his chest, turned and volleyed directly, and it was with his left foot.

And the ball was like a cannonball, and it scored on the left side of the goal at an extremely fast speed, beyond Reina's reach.

The final score was one to one!

Liverpool's players were somewhat dismayed when referee Mike Riley blew the whistle to end the first half.

It was supposed to lead by one goal, but it turned out to be scored before the end. Anyone who changed it would be a little emotional.

…………

…………

"It's too exciting, and it's too sudden!"

"If the ball was played by Shevchenko, I think it would be acceptable, but I didn't expect it to be Drogba."

"If I remember correctly, he has scored our goal for the third time since he came to the Premier League."

"This guy is also a big scene man. The stronger the team, the better he will perform."

"He hit the ball with his left foot just now. It was so sudden that the ball was so fast that he had no time to react."

……

Yang Yang returned to the locker room, and his teammates were discussing Drogba's goal enthusiastically.

It was indeed a goal with a very high technical content, but it was unexpectedly from Drogba.

Côte d'Ivoire's scoring efficiency has never been high, and the British media even ridiculed him. He missed the elephant's butt from the penalty spot, which shows how bad his scoring ability is.

But from the shot just now, especially the left-footed volley, there is really no way to call it luck.

Goals on the football field do have a certain amount of luck, but the premise is that there must be sufficient strength.

Without enough strength to support, no matter how lucky you are, you can't score a goal.

Therefore, it can only be said that since Drogba joined the Premier League, he has been constantly improving and improving himself.

With his superb physical fitness, if he really develops superb shooting skills, he will definitely be a terrifying goal-scoring machine.

"That is definitely a world-class goal." Yang Yang praised from the bottom of his heart.

Everyone in the Liverpool locker room couldn't help but be a little surprised when they heard it. They didn't expect Yang Yang to take the initiative to compliment his opponent, and his tone didn't sound like a joke or a scene, but a serious one.

Seeing his teammates staring blankly at him, Yang Yang shook his head and smiled, "I've never scored this kind of goal."

Everyone burst into laughter immediately.

In fact, it is not surprising, because like Drogba, who turns around and volleys after stopping the ball, in addition to high requirements for shooting skills, players also need to have strong physical fitness.

The moment Drogba stopped the ball in his chest and turned around, Carragher was completely suppressed by the Ivorian.

If it were Yang Yang, he could only adopt a lighter method, not as simple and direct as Drogba, or even rude, but this method of the Ivorian is full of violent aesthetics.

"It's true that it's not easy for you to score goals like his, but he can't score your goals either." Gerrard said with a smile.

Everyone nodded again.

The two goals in the first half were very skillful. Drogba's goal was wonderful, but Yang Yang's goal was also not bad. Under the pincer attack of two players, Boulahrouz and Essien, he was able to stop the ball, dunk Essien, and hit the goal with a curve ball.

"I even think that if you work harder in the second half, with Boulahrouz in this state, you may really score twice, or even score three in a row. If this is the case, from now on, won't Manchester United players have to walk with their heads down when they see us?" Gerrard laughed loudly.

When he said this, everyone in the locker room immediately booed.

Cristiano Ronaldo only had three players in a row in the last round. If Yang Yang followed suit in this round and added one, it would definitely be the most tragic blow to the Portuguese, and at the same time, it would definitely drive the entire British media crazy.

Yang Yang shook his head and smiled wryly, how is this possible?
It is not easy to beat three players, not to mention that this game is against a team with a tight defense like Chelsea.

Even with the time difference from the moment of transition from defense to offense, it is extremely difficult to catch the opponent by surprise.

"Stephen is right, be more courageous, I think Chelsea's state in this game is also terrible." Carragher also laughed, he didn't seem to care about the conceded goal against Drogba at all.

To become a professional player in the top league, everyone has a big heart. If you always keep your mistakes in mind and affect your state and performance, you will not be able to gain a foothold in the top league.

Teammates also expressed their encouragement and support one after another. Even Harvey Alonso said that Yang Yang can really work harder.

This made Yang Yang secretly amused. Was the score in the first half really one to one?

Are you sure it's not two to zero?
But he quickly figured out the source of confidence in the Liverpool players.

Benitez's tactics completely suppressed Mourinho!

Whether it was from the formation before the game or from the trend of the game, Benitez was not surprised at all. The only surprise was Drogba's goal, but it belonged to the player's flash of inspiration and was uncontrollable.

Pennant was also very active on the right, completely suppressing Chelsea's Ashley Cole on the left, Crouch in the center was also very successful, while midfielder Gerrard was a free agent, Xavi Alonso and Mohamed Sissoko were also very successful.

Mourinho adopted a configuration of four central midfielders, but it felt awkward.

Especially Essien and Lampard were assigned to the wing, which is not their area of ​​expertise at all.

However, Liverpool used two flanks to widen the entire lineup. This was really a big challenge for Chelsea's defense. The frequent one-on-one opportunities given to Yang Yang and Pennant in the first half were the best examples.

Therefore, Yang Yang has a feeling that it's not that the Chelsea players are in poor condition, but that there is a problem with their formation and they are completely suppressed by Liverpool. Although the ball possession rate is as high as 60.00%, it is useless and cannot play an effective attack at all.

On the other hand, Liverpool's sharp attacks again and again have made Chelsea a little tired.

Thinking about this deeply, Yang Yang couldn't help being full of confidence in the second half like other teammates.

As long as I continue to continue the thinking of the first half and continue to play like this, I believe it will not be a problem to win the game in the second half.

Maybe even, there is a chance to score again.

……

After Benitez returned to the locker room, he fully affirmed the team's performance in the first half, but he felt that the team's ability to seize opportunities was still lacking and needed to be strengthened.

At the same time, he also mentioned that the mood of the Chelsea players was a little impatient.

"This is their home court. Although it is a one-to-one match, the pressure is still on their side. Therefore, we must continue to play the same way as the first half in the second half. You must be patient enough."

Yang Yang and his teammates also responded one after another, obviously agreeing with the head coach's analysis and judgment very much.

After thinking deeply, Yang Yang finally understood why Benitez was so indifferent, even a little unreasonable, but the Liverpool players still respected him so much. The reason is very simple, his tactics are really excellent.

So good that everyone believed that as long as he obeyed his arrangements and obeyed his instructions, the team would definitely win!
…………

…………

The second half of the game restarted.

Surprisingly, neither side made adjustments.

Mourinho still adopts the tactics of the first half, but strengthens the defense on the left side where Boulah Luz is located, and the focus is to limit Yang Yang.

The Portuguese madman admired Yang Yang very much, so he was naturally very jealous.

But just one minute into the second half, the situation on the field suddenly changed.

During a scramble, Mohamed Sissoko fell to the ground for a tackle. Chelsea midfielder Ballack was a step late, but he didn't stop. Instead, he stepped on the inside of Sissoko's knee joint. The Mali midfielder hugged his knee in pain on the spot.

All of this happened under the watchful eye of referee Mike Riley, who of course unceremoniously showed Ballack a straight red card for sending the German midfielder off the pitch.

Mourinho on the sidelines looked extremely angry. He was very dissatisfied with the referee's penalty this time, thinking that it was just an unintentional mistake and he should not have shown a red card directly. He even hugged the fourth referee to reason.

But in the end the referee ignored the protests from the sidelines, and Ballack was sent off the court depressed.

This is the first direct red card of his career.

Mourinho immediately called Essien to the sidelines to teach him the opportunity.

After the game restarted, Yang Yang found that the defensive pressure he faced on the left was much easier.

Due to the repeated impact of Gerrard and Crouch, and Harvey Alonso also has a strong ability to push in, Essien and Lampard had to shrink more towards the center.

At the same time, Yang Yang also noticed that Mourinho's assistant coach Boas has already started to let Robben on the bench go out to warm up, apparently to make a substitution.

At this time, Robben was replaced, making it clear that the chariots and horses were going to play a defensive counterattack, but it is not clear when the replacement will be made.

But there is no doubt that Ballack's end completely changed the trend of the game, and at the same time made Yang Yang feel ecstatic.

Have the opportunity!
Really have a chance!
He is most eager to score goals, and he hopes to help Liverpool beat Chelsea away, which will be a milestone game for Liverpool this season.

As for having three people in a row, that was really not what he considered, because it was unrealistic.

Yang Yang is a relatively conservative person. He never pursues unrealistic things or things beyond his control. He believes in letting nature take its course.
