Chapter 353: Don't be nervous
Maybe it's because I'm too familiar with my opponent, or maybe it's because it's the first round of the match. After the opening, both teams played more cautiously.
In the 7th minute, Joe. Cole's long pass from the right to the back post for Gudjohnsen was denied by Hyypia's header.
In the 11th minute, Frank Lampard made a long pass from 60 meters at the back. Cole got rid of Hyypia's entanglement on the right and cut into the middle, dodged Traore with a right-footed kickback, and fired a low left-footed shot from a small angle 8 meters in front of the goal, which was confiscated by Tang Wu, who was already guarding the near corner.
It was the first shot on goal in the first 10 minutes of the first half, but it hit the woodwork.
Both midfielders fought fiercely, so most of the ball was dangling in the middle circle. There is no threat in front of the penalty area, and naturally there is a little less passion.
After explaining the "inverted feet" a few times, Zhan Jun helped his glasses and turned on his Premier League know-it-all.
"This is the third time in the history of the Champions League and the first time in the semi-finals that there has been an English derby. It is an honor for us to witness this historic moment with Tang Wu. β
"There are players or coaches from 19 countries in both camps, and although it is an English derby, there are not too many English players among them."
"The two coaches who split the European honours a year ago met today and it was Blues coach Jose Mourinho who has returned to the sidelines after a two-match suspension. He has led the team to 3 games against Liverpool this season, but only won one draw and two losses, and Chelsea, which is almost invincible in the Premier League this season, has only eaten such a big pants on Liverpool. β
'But in the knockout stages of the Cup, Chelsea knocked out the rulers of La Liga and then the Bundesliga, so they are the favourites to win the title.
"Liverpool have just eliminated Serie A giants Juventus, but they haven't done the same as Chelsea. So in general, Liverpool is relatively weaker. β
"Look at this ball! Drogba receives a long pass from the left side of the penalty area! β
"I fell..."
"It looked like he wanted a penalty, but the referee from France, Sarr, ignored it!"
"The game continues."
'Chelsea conceded nine goals in the first four knockout games and didn't show the impregnable defence of the league. Liverpool, on the other hand, have only conceded one goal in these four games, and when facing Juventus' top striker, Tang Wu completely contained the opponent in both games. If it weren't for the defender Cannavaro scoring a goal, I'm afraid Capello would have lost all his face. β
Hearing Zhan Jun "bury" the head of Serie A, Huang Jianxiang on the side grinned and shook his head and chuckled.
He is an Italian fan as well as a Serie A fan.
If he had heard someone belittle Juventus like this before, he would have opened his mouth to reason with the other party.
But since partnering with Zhan Jun, he has gradually become a Premier League fan. And because of Tang Wu, he also began to like Liverpool.
Tang Wuzai is too good, so good that Sun Yangyang, Li Tie, Hao Dacang, Shao Jiayi, Yang Chen, and General Fan are all "supermodels" who stay abroad and can't compare to him.
After introducing the coach, Zhan Jun turned his attention to the players on the bench.
"In this game, the Blues' main full-backs Bridge and Paul. Pacos Ferreira continues to be sidelined through injury and neither winger has started. Arjen Robben, who returned last weekend, was on the bench, while Duff was not included in the squad due to a tendon injury. β
"What we are seeing now is the Dutch youngster Arjen Robben, who is known as Peter Pan, although he can often provide wonderful assists and goals in the game, but because of the glass man system, it is difficult for us to see him in the game."
"Huh! Liverpool, chance! β
"Alonso! Alonso's long pass! β
"Riser got rid of..."
"Buckle again!"
"Shoot!"
"Ahh What a pity! Zhan Jun snorted.
It was Liverpool's best chance of the first half: Reese did not choose to play the ball to Gerrard after receiving the ball, but forced a breakthrough on his own. After getting rid of Glen Johnson and Carvalho successively, he used a right-footed push that he was not good at, which was easily confiscated by Cech.
'This is the 12th time Liverpool have played in the semi-finals of the Champions League, and as things stand, Benitez is desperately short of goalscorers.
'Baros had four stitches on a knee injury in the league and was on the bench with a hidden Cave. Cisse, who has just returned, is in good form and plays as a single arrow. β
"Xavi Alonso, Reese, Biscan Garcia and others who were hidden in the snow in the last game have all returned to the starting line-up..."
"Liverpool, danger!"
In the 25th minute, Gudjohnsen played straight Lampard at the top of the box, but the ball hit Biscayne's leg and rolled directly to the feet of Drogba in the box.
The Beast of CΓ΄te d'Ivoire knocked the ball diagonally with his left foot on his back, and after Gallas received the ball, he deceived Finnan with a fake fax dunk and passed to the back point with his right foot. Kerr scrambled in front of Traore and headed the ball down the middle.
The continuous passing in the penalty area made the Red Army players dizzy, looking at the ball flying around the goal, even Tang Wu didn't react at the first time.
But unbelievably, Frank Lampard, who was scrambling in the middle, scrambled in the middle and volleyed a right-footed volley sideways from five yards in front of goal, allowing the camera to kick the ball directly into the air.
Even Mourinho, who was on the sidelines, was ready to celebrate, but after seeing the quality of the shot, he couldn't help but hold his head in his hands and be disappointed.
"Oh! Frank Lampard sent the ball flying! The on-site commentator looked regretful, Tang Wu's eyes had not yet shifted, as long as the ball was played correctly, it was almost a must-score, but in the end Chelsea still missed the opportunity.
"Hey, Frank, don't be nervous!" After the goal crisis was resolved, Tang Wu stepped forward first and patted Lampard on the shoulder, who was on his knees.
"This is Stamford Bridge, what are you nervous about?"
"Fack! Not because of you? You bastard..."I have to say, Tang Wu has already left a little shadow in the hearts of the Blues players.
Frank Lampard wanted to punch Tang Wu as soon as he got up, but when his hand was raised in mid-air, he thought about it and let it go.
Looking at Tang Wu's sinister eyes, Lampard was sure that as long as his fist reached out, the Chinese goalkeeper in front of him would definitely fall without a trace of mercy.
The stadium is like a battlefield, and he believes that Tang Wu will use Oscar-like acting skills to fool the referee and reward him with a random color card.
Frank Lampard doesn't want that!
"Wait and see!" The Blues midfielder left a harsh word and ran away with his arm in his hand.
Tang Wu shrugged his shoulders and put the ball thrown by the caddie on the line of the small penalty area.
This is Stamford Bridge, the home of Chelsea. But seeing the Blues players playing so cautiously and nervously, Tang Wu couldn't help but laugh.
Facing a former goalkeeper on his home turf, how nervous can a player be? It's so coke!
But that's just the way it is.
Chelsea can also be regarded as having a "knowing grace" for Tang Wu, but every time he encounters Chelsea, the blood in Tang Wu's body will flow faster.
There's nothing happier than making my old club deflated!
Especially the stinky face of the Portuguese coach on the sidelines, every time he saw it frowning, Tang Wu's heart was as sweet as honey.
In this game, Chelsea still want to score!
