I'm Kaka Kaka

Chapter 488 We can do what they can do, we can still do what they can't do
Chelsea's match against Reading did attract a lot of attention, but the biggest focus of this round of the league is actually the battle between Liverpool and Arsenal.

Compared with the original time and space, Arsenal lacked Van Persie, Liverpool had more Villa, and Nana was humiliated by others.

After playing another round of the league, time entered January.

2007 arrived.

On New Year's Day, Chelsea played against Aston Villa at home and started the new year with a hearty 5-0.

Kaka scored a hat-trick, leading the league in goals scored, and Chelsea ushered in No.40 five unbeaten games, only four steps away from Arsenal's record of 49 games.

The UEFA Champions League group stage has also been completed. Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​AC Milan, Inter Milan, Bayern Munich and other strong teams have all qualified.

In the top [-], there are three teams from La Liga and three from Serie A, and four from the Premier League. If the final championship goes to the English team, then the Premier League will completely take over the title of the first league from Serie A.

The FA Cup also entered the schedule at the end of January, and Chelsea began to fight on four fronts. Of course, the most important thing for them at present is to tie and then break Arsenal's unbeaten record of 49 league games.

Everything went smoothly until No.40 encountered a strong obstacle in the eighth game.

English local time at 1:20 on January 12, the 45th round of the Premier League, Anfield Stadium, Liverpool VS Chelsea.

Liverpool is currently winning 4 consecutive victories, and has been unbeaten at home since the start of the game. It is currently third in the standings, as many as 14 points away from Chelsea at the top of the list.

"Chelsea has not only been unbeaten in 46 league games, but their winning streak has also reached a staggering 19 games. Petr Cech has kept a clean sheet in five consecutive games. The last time they were scored by an opponent in the league was against Arsenal last year. In the last five games, they scored 21 goals. The terrorist attack power is the highest in European football. Of course, Liverpool is not far behind. They are the only team other than Chelsea to remain unbeaten at home so far in the 0607-[-] season..."

"This game is a Premier League game for Liverpool coach Benitez, and the players will definitely want to use a victory as a birthday present for him."

In the locker room, Bell, Royce and Pato were a little nervous when they were guests at Anfield for the first time.

It is the first time they have started in such an important game.

Ancelotti could also see that they were not normal, but there was nothing he could do. The middle of the season and multi-line battles, the main players were all injured, and they were not injured or sick. He might as well give the three little ones a chance.

After emphasizing the precautions and perfecting the details, Ancelotti carried out the final battle mobilization:

"Arsenal are unbeaten for 49 games, if they can do it, so can we!

Arsenal's unbeaten record is only 49 games, not because they don't want to get it, one game, 52 games, 53 games...but because they can't do it.

But what they can't do, we can!

Anfield is the most difficult stadium in England, but we have overcome it, and more than once, so our goal today is only one: three points!

It's Benitez's 1st Premier League game and they want a memorable gift, so we'll give it to them!Make them unforgettable! "

Terry immediately took the lead in shouting.

"Three points!"

"Three points!"

"victory!"

"Three points!"

"Rush rush!"

The KOP welcomed the Blues with boos all over the sky.

"Players from both sides came on the field, everyone looked very motivated, let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides as usual.

Chelsea 4-4-2.

Goalkeeper: Petr Cech;
Defenders: Maicon, Mascherano, Terry, Zambrotta;
Midfielders: Makelele, Bale, Kaka, Royce;

Forwards: Pato, Van Persie.

Lucio played with a red card and is in suspension; Shevchenko just came back and was injured, and has resumed training with the ball, but he is not yet suitable for the game; Lampard is injured; Torres, Sneijder and Essien have been fighting consecutively and are in poor condition...

Chelsea have indeed achieved great results, but everything has a price, they are now at the end of their strength, and now is Liverpool's best chance.

Some media have praised Mascherano as the best signing in the Premier League this season in advance, which is very reasonable from the current point of view, the Argentine is simply a universal tinkerer in the midfield and defense, where there is need to make up..."

"Liverpool's lineup is also 4-4-2: goalkeeper: 25-Reina;

Defenders: 3-Fennan, 5-Ager, 23-Carragher, 6-Rise;

Midfielder: 16-Pennant, 14-Alonso, 8-Gerrard, 12-Aurelio;

Forwards: 15 Crouch, 9- Villa.

The striker line is not the Expected + Villa, but Crouch is partnered with the Spanish striker, it seems that Liverpool's game is still dominated by offense..."

The commentators announced the starting lineup and positions, and the Chelsea players also took a clear look at the players and positions on the opposite side, and by the way, they had a good idea of ​​their tactics.

Everyone silently praised Ancelotti.

An Fat Niubi Klass!

An Fat V587!

An Pang guessing madman!

That's right, An Pang guessed the opponent's starting lineup clearly, and even made a correct prediction about their tactical arrangement after the game started.

The reason why Beitu didn't play Didier, who can rush and bite like a mad dog, but sent a tall man with almost zero defensive ability, is to use the height to hit long passes, but even elementary school students know that playing against Chelsea is the old birthday. So Liverpool's tactics must be counterattacks.

As a result, Benitez was brave. Liverpool attacked across the board at the beginning of the game, and there was no way to defend and counterattack.

It's Anfield here, it's his 1 Premier League game and he's chosen the more tempting one between 1 and 3 points.

Even though he was more than a dozen points behind No.1, Benitez still did not give up his pursuit of the championship.

Chelsea was not caught off guard by their frenzy, and played steadily from the beginning. Even Kaka ran back to his own half to participate in the defense from the beginning.

Harvey Alonso dribbled the ball on the left, and instead of passing directly to Crouch, he planned to pass Kaka first and then pass the ball in.

In his impression, although Kaka's defensive skills are not good, his physical fitness is very good. If he passes the ball under his close pressure, the effect will be at least [-]% off.

Before Alonso made a move, Kaka quickly went up to grab it.

Alonso didn't do any feints, and quickly flicked the ball out, only to be shocked to find that the football was no longer under his feet.

This shit... When was it snatched away?
Kaka didn't delay even a tenth of a second, and immediately launched a long pass on the spot after stealing the ball.

The ball flew across the sky and went straight to the Liverpool half.

Bell and Royce have been waiting, the football fell to the middle ground, the two started almost at the same time, and chased after the football.

The two saw each other at the same time.

Bell continued to run towards the football, while Royce turned a corner and continued to advance along the right.

Bale touched the ball before Aurelio and put it directly in front of Royce.

Royce didn't stop the ball, and took advantage of the opportunity to poke the ball directly between Riise's feet, and then bypassed it.

Riise immediately turned and chased, but Royce was quick, and after catching up with the football, he immediately crossed from the side.

Van Persie jumped high and headed the ball towards the goal with a powerful header.

The football was lifted out of the crossbar by Reina in two completely different prayers in the audience.

Van Persie, who missed the opportunity, shook his head regretfully, and then gave Royce a smiling face.

If the goal is not scored, it can't be blamed for the uncooked cake, but the wrong posture for eating the cake. He still understands this.

Facing the senior's affirmation, Royce just nodded his head, with a look of honor and disgrace, and the cruel man stood still.

"Unfortunately, Liverpool launched a fierce attack at the beginning, but the ball was never hit in front of the goal. Alonso was tackled by Kaka when he tried again. Chelsea made a quick counter-attack. Bale and Reus were very fast and created a shot, but Reina was very stable..."

Kaka goes back to serve the corner kick.

Alonso stared at his back for a moment before remembering to follow.

"Kaka's set-piece success rate is currently the highest in the Premier League. Whether it's a free kick or a corner kick, he can always use various methods that we can't expect to assist or score. Liverpool attaches great importance to it and deployed heavy troops to guard it."

Kaka stood still in the corner area and took two steps back after the referee whistled before delivering the ball.

The football was aimed directly at Mascherano's head and smashed in the past.

Mascherano resisted Carragher and pushed the ball towards the goal with all his strength. Unfortunately, although Carragher failed to follow him, he bumped hard when he jumped up. The little brother touched the ball a little bit, and the shot was weak. Reina gently reached out and picked it into his arms.

Chelsea scored two consecutive headers. Although they failed to score, it still made Liverpool feel tremendous pressure.

Benitez stood on the sidelines and kept reaching out to make forward pressing movements.

Liverpool's midfielders rushed out, and even Riise followed. Except for the three defenders in the backcourt, there was only one midfielder, Pennant, standing in front of the last line of defense.

At the beginning of the game, he used this kind of tactic that was close to breaking the boat, which is really courageous.

"Reina kicked the ball directly in front of Chelsea's penalty area, Kaka headed back, Terry stopped in the chest... Terry made a mistake! Villa!"

Kaka fought for the ball with Gerrard on his shoulders, and barely pushed the ball in the direction of Terry, but Terry actually stopped the ball...

Villa came out with great agility, calmly circled Mascherano, and kicked the ball in from the lower left corner of the goal with a push.

"GOAL!!! 1-0! In the 8th minute of the game, Liverpool took the lead! Kaka passed the ball very well, but Terry made a low-level error. Villa seized the opportunity and scored his No.15 Premier League goal!"

"Some media said before the game that Mascherano was the best signing in the Premier League this season, but judging from this game, Villa was the most successful transfer in the Premier League last summer..."

Liverpool players rushed to the sidelines to celebrate wildly, and the tsunami-like cheers almost overturned the entire Anfield stadium.

Benitez was so excited that he jumped up and down on the spot, but Ancelotti still sat in his seat calmly, with his hands on his shoulders, as if he hadn't noticed that the opponent had scored a goal.

Terry looked at the football lying in the goal with a livid face.

Kaka patted him on the shoulder, did not speak, but gently shook his head at Cech, motioning him to kick the ball out.

The song "Never Walk Alone" sounded again.

It was quite shocking when I first listened to it, but for non-Liverpool fans, it will get tired of listening too much.

Kaka kicked the ball to Van Persie in the center circle and waited for Liverpool to finish celebrating.

After 1-0, Liverpool began to be conservative.

When they started to fight counterattacks with determination, the game became difficult to play.

With Crouch in the frontcourt, and Villa's quick response, Chelsea's goals are in danger at any time.

"Gerrard and Alonso have moved back? Liverpool's defense has obviously strengthened. Congratulations to Benitez. He grabbed the first goal and took the initiative in the game. Facing the strongest attacking team in Europe, no one should have any objection to his choice. In fact, they have shown their courage by attacking Chelsea at the beginning..."

How fiercely Liverpool attacked at the beginning, how stable is their defense now.

Gerrard and Alonso personally defended Kaka, and Bell and Royce were also taken care of by Pennant, Finnan and Riise. Anyway, they just gave up the offensive and snuffed out all your shots.

Maicon and Gianluca Zambrotta tried to attack forward, but both were smashed in front of Liverpool's tough defense.

Until the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, Chelsea could not complete an attack that really threatened the opponent's goal.

It was the toughest 45 minutes Chelsea have played this season.

Kaka was blocked, Bell and Royce were inexperienced, Van Persie and Pato could not get support in the frontcourt, and the game was dull and boring.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, Ancelotti did not replace Bale and Royce as some commentators analyzed, but continued to fight in a diamond-shaped midfield.

Benitez still put on the tortoise shell at halftime, obviously planning to carry the shameless to the end.

"The game continues to be stalemate, Liverpool's defense looks solid, but they can't be careless, because Chelsea have too many talented players in the team, and one of their flashes of inspiration may break the deadlock on the field..."

As soon as the words fell, Chelsea's midfield trio shone.

Ordinary players can be recorded in history with a flash of inspiration occasionally, and then blow a goal for a lifetime, while some players flash anytime and anywhere, turning the entire history book into their own personal biography.

Bell is such a player, Royce is such a player, and Kaka... is such a player.

Maicon successfully steals the ball and quickly throws the ball. After receiving the ball, Royce races with Riise on the side, and finally throws off the opponent through an emergency stop and changes direction, and transfers with a long pass.

Bell didn't wait for the ball to hit the ground, poked it forward, and then chased after it vigorously.

Pennant gritted his teeth and ran, but he still couldn't touch the corner of Bell's clothes.

After Bell threw off Pennant, he broke through Finnan again and made a cross near the baseline.

The ball was passed awkwardly. It didn't fly to the goal, but fell to the middle of the penalty area.

Pato and Van Persie, who went to the two sides of the goal to respond, made no effort, but Kaka, who ran into the penalty area, caught the ball straight.

Gerrard immediately grabbed the ball and Kaka easily picked the ball over his head.

Alonso immediately made up the defense, Kaka made another pick with his left foot, and the football rose again.

Reina strikes, Kaka lobs.

For the third time, football drew a parabola in Liverpool's penalty area. The starting point was still at Kaka's feet, and the end point was Liverpool's goal.

1-1.

"Go in! After all, I still couldn't defend. The tacit cooperation of Royce, Bale and Kaka, five people passed, the ball was passed twice, the goal was shot once, and the score was tied..."

Both sides were not satisfied with a draw. After the game started, they started to fight frantically with bayonets. Unfortunately, the goalkeepers of both sides performed well today, saving the opponent's shots again and again.

The 1-1 score was maintained until the end, and Chelsea struggled to get a draw at Anfield, launching a final assault on Arsenal's 49-match unbeaten record.
