Chapter 533: Red and Blue Battle Six
79th minute. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Liverpool's opportunity finally came, Chelsea's attacking midfield, Willian's right side broke through and crossed, was cleared by Skrtel, Gerrard got the ball outside the penalty area, and then went directly to the front of the field with a big foot, this is a big kick like a clearance, there is no clear goal, Balotelli and Terry ran to the landing point at the same time.
Balotelli was fast, and Terry was in place first, but Terry also had a strong impact on the back, jumping from behind Balotelli and trying to push the ball back into Liverpool's half, but Balotelli in front of him was firmly on his heels, which still caused problems for Terry's jump, and this time the header clearance did not achieve his intended purpose, but was obtained by Coutinho in midfield.
Coutinho didn't stop the ball, he directly stretched out his foot, and used the inside of his foot arch to the end behind Cahill, Zhang Yuan successfully reversed the offside position and ran over.
Coutinho's pass is accurate, but the power is not, the ball is not fast in the air, so the ball is a little embarrassing, if it is a fast pass, Zhang Yuan can use his speed to get rid of Cahill, the key is that the ball stays in the air for a long time, Zhang Yuan's speed is used, it is nothing more than being able to receive the ball first, and Cahill has the ability to rush to the landing point after Zhang Yuan receives the ball.
However, this is not a particularly difficult thing for Zhang Yuan, only to see Zhang Yuan before the ball hits the ground, but instead hooked the ball back, sideways around, and controlled the ball, preventing Cahill from trying to foul.
Cahill was going to foul, as the last central defender he couldn't do a serious foul, if a serious foul was done, then he was likely to get a red card and go straight off, so when Zhang Yuan hooked the ball to the side, he didn't dare to foul again.
Zhang Yuan took the ball, faced Cahill, and slowly brought the ball forward, Cahill retreated step by step, afraid that Zhang Yuan would pass him, but suddenly Zhang Yuan passed the ball.
Because he saw Balotelli fight against Terry, he quickly regrouped and killed in the Chelsea penalty area, Terry's speed was slower than him, and it was difficult to catch up in the back, Zhang Yuan's pass played a good role, Balotelli took the lead, and entered the Chelsea penalty area.
In the face of Courtois, Balotelli was calm, and this time he didn't waste the opportunity and fired into the far corner!
In the 79th minute of the second half, Zhang Yuan's wonderful pass and Balotelli's wonderful shot helped Liverpool expand the score to two goals again!" Zhou Qiang happily commented, "This time Balotelli finally did not waste the opportunity, Chelsea had problems in defense! Let Liverpool play a high-quality counterattack!"
Balotelli's head went blank, and after three months, he finally scored his first goal at Liverpool!
Then he took off his upper jersey and rushed to the corner with open arms, standing next to the corner stick like a god!
Zhang Yuan looked at Balotelli's appearance, and scolded with a smile in his heart, he was in a very happy mood at this moment, this game was really decided, he didn't believe that Mourinho could let his team get such a disadvantage back!
"Well done, Mario!" Zhang Yuan praised as he ran to the corner and hugged Balotelli.
"I don't always doubt my strength!" Balotelli exclaimed with a smile.
The Liverpool fans went crazy again, the team scored again, and scored three, against the leader Chelsea, which really made everyone a little excited, "Mario, Mario!" The shouts of "Mario, Mario!" are incessant to the ears of the Liverpool players, the fans are so pure, as long as you can give them a little joy, they will remember you!
Of course, Balotelli was booed by them when he performed poorly!
Hyypia applauded the performance of the players, the team is very effective in implementing his tactical ideas, and the effort always pays off, and then look at Anfield, Hyypia feels that Liverpool's position is actually quite good to sit on, hehe didn't think that way a day ago.
Mourinho's face is even more ugly, he is also not a god, there are things he knows may happen, but he is powerless to stop, for example, in the current situation, he clearly knows that Liverpool's counterattack may bring a huge threat to the team, but how can he stop it, unless he does not attack, his two backs are pressed, but Liverpool's style of play is so direct.
The morale of the Chelsea players has finally dropped at this point, and Balotelli's goal is very important at this time, and the difference between two goals is not so easy to make up for in ten minutes!
Hazard stood on the other side of the pitch and looked at the celebrating Liverpool players, with a smile on his face of unwillingness and disappointment, unwilling to lose, disappointed in a game where he had done nothing!
However, this was the reality, and after the restart, Chelsea did not slow down for a few minutes, and by the time Mourinho shouted at him, the team came to their senses, and it was too late, and with a whistle from Taylor, the battle ended with Liverpool's victory.
"This victory is very important for Liverpool, who have hidden a number of key players in the group stage of the Champions League for the purpose of this game, and this move has caused them to suffer criticism from the outside world! Chelsea, on the other hand, can't be said to have performed very well today, and their form in this game is indeed not particularly ideal, but this game should not have a big impact on them, they are still strong contenders for the Premier League title in the new season!" Zhou Qiang said of the game.
It is a fact that Chelsea's state is not as good as Liverpool's, Chelsea's comprehensive ability is higher than Liverpool's, but in this game, at least in terms of data, Chelsea is all at the bottom, possession, shooting, tackles, etc. are behind Liverpool, and their ability to grasp opportunities is not too strong, there is a threat but it failed to convert into the final goal!
On the pitch after the game, Mourinho left the away team's dugout in a hurry, without a trace of nostalgia.
The players of the two teams maintained their demeanor, shook hands with each other, and they couldn't lose if they lost, Zhang Yuan was very happy after the game, and he always had a smile on his face, even in the face of the opponent, he was also with a heartfelt smile, and he was in a very happy mood.
Speaking after the game, he was also laughing, "I'm glad we got this win! we need this win, we need to make a statement to the Premier League! Well, it's a great feeling to beat the leaders!"
"Zhang, you had a clear foul on Ramirez before Zhan scored the second goal!
"No, you're mistaken, it's not a foul, you can clearly see that he's pulling my jersey all the time! Whether it's the referee or you, I don't think you can do double standards, it's just normal physical contact between us!" Zhang Yuan denied in burning words.
"Zhang, you finished a wonderful game today, how do you feel about your performance?"
"I'm very happy with my performance, and I hope there will be some good performances for the fans in the future!"
Zhang Yuan said in front of reporters that it was not a foul, but Mourinho did not see it that way.
"That's a clear foul in front and the goal is in the back! I seriously changed the whole game! It's critical! Sometimes I doubt the eyes of some people, maybe a certain profession is more difficult!"
"Mr. Mourinho, then do you think Nemanja Matic deserves a yellow card for his foul on Zhang Yuan in the second half?!"
"Of course not! Nemanja Nemanja Matic is clean, it's a ball game, it's normal to have a collision during the game, nothing to fuss about!"
Well, Mourinho also slipped away very much in the double standard, Zhang Yuan was fouled, but Matic was not.
By the next day's newspapers, the controversy continued, with Liverpool winning the game, but referee Taylor was deemed to have officiated a bad game, Emre Can's goal should not have counted, and Nemanja Matic deserved a red card, at least a yellow card, for a foul on Nemanja Matic in the second half!
However, no matter how much controversy there was, Liverpool finally won, leaving them close to the leaders and just three points away from the top four.
