Chapter 326 Utilitarian Football and Booing

In the player tunnel, the shouts of fans at the Millennium Stadium can be clearly heard.

"...at the end of the storm, there is a golden sky, and the sweet song of a lark"

"...keep walking, keep walking, with the hope in your heart, you'll never walk alone"

Before the fans finished watching, they saw a smear of red coming out of the player channel, and cheers immediately erupted from the red stands.

"Steven, Steven!"

"Sammy, Sammy!"

"Moreau, Moreau!"

"TOM, TOM, TOM!!!"

The fans shouted the names of each player, hoping to stand with them and finally welcome the victory.

Tang Wu stood in front of the small restricted area line, punching each other.

Come on, I'm ready!

"The second half of the game started. Judging from the lineup, the players on both sides did not make personnel adjustments during the intermission."

"Liverpool's attack."

"Garcia, bring the ball forward."

"The passing lanes are blocked."

"return!"

On the court, Luis Garcia, who had almost run to the corner, was under the pressure of Gallas, and did not struggle to pass or create a corner as before.I saw him turn around and push hard behind him, and the ball rolled out along the sideline.

As soon as the ball rolls, it rolls far away.

Harman, who is closest to him, is also close to the field, so the corridor on the sidewalk theoretically forms a vacuum.

It wasn't until the ball rolled near the center line that it was stopped by Finnan who ran to catch the ball.

Seeing this, Chelsea fans couldn't help booing.

In their view, this was Liverpool's mistake in an unsuccessful attack.If the team can defend Liverpool's offense every time, it will be just around the corner to equalize or even overtake.

After stepping on the ball, Finnan raised his head and looked in front of his eyes. Both red and blue were approaching the midfield.

Just now Garcia went down so deep that many players stood on the line of Chelsea's small penalty area.

Soon, Terry left Morientes and Kewell behind, and the Red Army's forward players were immediately exposed in the offside area.

Seeing that his striker could no longer catch the ball, Finnan decisively pushed the ball towards the back of the center and passed it to Hyypia who was dragged at the end.

"Slow down, don't rush!"

Seeing that Hypia wanted to pass the ball, Tang Wu hurriedly shouted behind him.

"Well, Liverpool don't seem to be in a hurry to attack!" Seeing that Hypia finally chose to pass the ball back to Tang Wu at the top of the penalty area, the on-site commentator guessed.

It took Liverpool a lot of time, manpower and running to send the ball to Chelsea's corner; now it is an easy three-legged pass, and the ball is passed back to Tang Wu in the rear.

Even if you want to adjust the formation and reorganize the attack, there is no need to pass back to the goalkeeper, right?
In this way, after Liverpool's continuous pass back, Morientes, Kewell and others also slowly caught up with Terry.

When the Liverpool striker ran back from the cross-danger line, he immediately ran laterally.

Seeing this, Terry and Carvalho hurriedly followed. With Tang Wu's eyesight and footwork, he might suddenly make a big kick to help his teammates succeed in anti-offside.

Seeing Chelsea's forwards and defenders running, Tang Wu grinned and passed the ball to Carragher who came back from the other side.

In this way, Liverpool went from one wing to the other, drew a big "U" in the field, and reorganized their attack.

"Liverpool"

"Gerrard came back for the ball too"

"gerald"

"Gerrard and his teammates made a two-for-one, it seems that he does not want to confront Lampard head-on"

"To Haman."

"Harman leaked."

"Kaywell got the ball"

"Kevil speeds up!"

The Australian Footballer dribbled the ball to the bottom quickly. This time, because Chelsea's defenders were not pressing hard, he easily dunked the ball before the bottom line, looking for opportunities to pass the ball.

Chelsea's players returned to the defense very quickly. Even Drogba, who ran to the front, returned to his own half at this time, looking for opportunities near the center circle.

After Kewell feinted twice on the spot, he finally did not choose to make a cross and handed the ball to Harman who came over to respond.

After receiving the ball, the German veteran resisted Makelele with his body, turned around and handed the ball to Gerrard, who was further back.

In this way, almost how the ball was passed to the frontcourt, and how the ball was passed back.

Drogba, who circled around a few times in his own half, raised his arms helplessly again and ran towards Tang Wu outside the Red Army's restricted area.

It is the responsibility of the center forward to press the goalkeeper, no matter where he is at this time.

Liverpool played like this again and again, and Mourinho frowned on the sidelines.

"Mr. Jose, Liverpool is playing utilitarian football!" the assistant reminded.

Why can't Mourinho see it?

After playing for nearly 5 minutes in the second half, Chelsea didn't touch the ball, and ran several times exhaustedly in the front and back courts.

If you look down from the air, Liverpool is like playing a full-court lap game with Chelsea, playing with the Blues in their hands.

A team like Liverpool, known for its defensive counterattacks, actually played pass control?

No one would believe it was real if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes.

But the facts are in front of you.

Although the Red Army players are relatively rough except for Gerrard and Morrow who have excellent skills at their feet, this does not affect their use of passing to control the situation.

Because the goals of the Liverpool team are very clear, the purpose of passing and controlling is to defend, not to attack!
In this way, even if the technique at the feet is rough, it doesn't matter if the pass is inaccurate or the reception is unstable, because the players receiving the ball in the backcourt have a lot of time and space to adjust.As long as they don't pass out of bounds, Hyypia and others will stop the ball in the most prudent way and then reorganize their offense.

In addition, Liverpool does not stick to fast breaks and short passes. As long as there are too many players on one side of the field, the players with the ball will transfer the ball to the other side in a wide range with the help of teammates shouting.

In this way, in a small stadium like the Premier League, Liverpool managed to keep Chelsea, the league leader, from touching the ball for 5 minutes.

At this point in the game, the boos from the Blues fans grew louder.

"Fack, don't Liverpool call themselves rich? They play such an ugly utilitarian football!" Chelsea fans were also dissatisfied.

"Hey, Steven, don't make me look down on you, do you dare to shoot?" Seeing Gerrard's free kick kicked directly to the side, the blue stands booed again.

In the 52nd minute, Liverpool passed the ball back to the goalkeeper for the third time.When Tang Wu stepped on the ball to stop, Drogba couldn't bear it any longer, and accelerated towards Tang Wu.

Seeing the Ivorian beast running desperately, Tang Wu didn't play with fire and passed the ball directly to Caragher.

"Fake!" Drogba cursed secretly.

He wanted to take advantage of the inertia of sprinting to hit Tang Wu hard, but Tang Wu didn't give him this chance, instead he passed the ball as soon as possible.In this way, the distance between him and Tang Wu was enough for him to control the inertia of his body.

After receiving the ball from the left, Carragher also found Joe Cole rushing towards him.

However, because Tang Wu immediately ran behind him to respond at any time after passing the ball, Caragher who got the ball did not panic, but gave Gerrard a through ball accurately.

Liverpool's multiple return passes made the Chelsea players irritable, and each of them was like an irritated bull, rushing towards the player with the ball with all their strength.

Gerrard's eyes flashed, this time he didn't play a two-on-one with Harman next to him, but kicked up directly and passed the ball long to Garcia on the other side.

When the camera fell on the Spanish winger with the ball flying in the air, the fans were surprised to find that there was no Chelsea defender within three meters of the Spanish winger!
When Beitu on the sidelines saw this scene, a smile finally appeared on his face.

Become!

You think I'm trying to stall for time?

Do not!
We're just looking for a gap!
