On the evening of April 14, 19:30.

Stamford Bridge in London's West End is as brightly lit as day.

The influx of more than 38,000 fans squeezed the huge stands and made it look so crowded.

This world-renowned battle is about to begin, and the atmosphere in the stadium is becoming more and more tense and frenzied.

The enthusiasm of the home team's fans is high, obviously expecting the team to beat Liverpool at home, changing the embarrassing record between the strong teams this season, and the number of away fans, although small, but not to be outdone, the momentum created is not inferior to the home team, which is somewhat related to the lack of unity of the home team fans.

The bad atmosphere at Stamford Bridge is a long-standing problem.

Captain John Terry appeared in the chairman's stand in a suit and will miss tonight's game due to yellow cards, but he still came to the pitch to be with the team.

He had just come out of the dressing room and he could see that his team-mates were scrappy and determined to win, and manager Guus Hiddink was also well prepared to make this game a shame for Liverpool.

While Chelsea are likely to be empty-handed this season, it is a proud fact that they were able to knock out a formidable Liverpool from the Champions League.

"Hope everything goes well!" Terry stared straight at the pitch and prayed to himself.

At this moment, there was a movement near the exit of the chairman's stand.

Terry turned his head to see club owner Roman Abramovskaia, accompanied by the club's general manager, Peter Kenyon, chairman Barker and assistant Marina Granovskaya, walk out of the aisle and walk all the way to the vacated position in the middle, which is the direction of Terry.

This is a place reserved exclusively for him by the club and exclusive to Roman Abramovich.

"Hey, John." Abramovich smiled and patted Terry on the shoulder when he saw him.

"Nice to meet you, boss." Terry responded with a smile.

The Russian seemed to be in a pretty good mood, pointing to his vacant seat, "Come, sit here with me, my captain!" ”

Of course, Terry would not refuse, and immediately politely agreed.

Suddenly, many people around also adjusted their positions knowingly.

At Chelsea, at Stamford Bridge, Roman Abramovich is a veritable king!

After the group found their seats and sat down, the Russian asked with concern about the current situation of the team and the upcoming games, and he was obviously more concerned about whether the team could beat Liverpool and advance to the last four, followed by the game after the last four.

'I just came out of the dressing room and I could feel it, everybody was confident. Terry said with confidence.

'But we just scored three goals against Bolton. Abramovich reminded.

Clearly, he has been following the Chelsea news all along.

'It was just an accident, owner, Guus Hiddink is a top manager, he's adjusted, and we've been preparing for the last few days how to deal with Liverpool's high points.' Terry laughed.

When Abramovich heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, I have faith in Hiddink, he is the best!"

After Scolari's dismissal, Abramovich also used his personal connections to convince Hiddink to take on the position of head coach of the Russian national team and head coach of Chelsea at the same time.

If he hadn't had faith in Hiddink, he wouldn't have bothered to do these things.

"Moreover, Hiddink still hid a back hand in this game."

"Oh?" Abramovich became interested, "And a backhand?" ”

"Anelka won't go."

"Huh?" Abramovich was somewhat confused.

Anelka, once a world-famous talented striker, moved to Real Madrid for a sky-high price after Arsenal made a name for himself, but due to his natural quirks and the misfortunes of his two brothers, his career has not been smooth.

Finally, after Bolton played, he was poached by Chelsea to Stamford Bridge, and then joined the giants again.

It stands to reason that the player deserves to be a starter, but Guus Hiddink is clearly prepared to keep him in the back.

Although Abramovich didn't understand, he felt that he should have guessed something, as if he saw victory beckoning ahead, and immediately laughed.

"If we can beat Liverpool, get to the semi-finals, or even beat Manchester United to get to the final, then we will definitely be the favourites to win the title!"

Everyone knows that Roman Abramovich is obsessed with the Champions League title, and even replaced Mourinho because he felt that the Portuguese madman could not bring the Champions League to Chelsea.

The team reached the final of the Champions League last season, and if they reach the final again this season, it is not impossible to win the title.

"All of us will fight for this, boss!" Terry's eyes were filled with determination.

Although he is the captain of the captain who disagrees with some of Abramovich's actions, he will do his best to support Abramovich as long as it is good for Chelsea.

As he was talking, at the entrance of the players' tunnel, under the leadership of Spanish referee Luis Medina Cantarleo, the players of the two teams lined up in two teams and walked out one after another.

For a time, the audience applauded and cheered.

…………

…………

"To commemorate the 20th anniversary of tomorrow's Hillsborough tragedy, tonight at Stamford Bridge, all the Liverpool players wore black armbands on their right arm, and everyone's faces were full of solemnity."

"It's a bit of a mournful feeling, and it also reflects Liverpool's determination to fight back."

'Let's take a look at Chelsea's starting line-up tonight.

'The goalkeeper is Cech, Ashley Cole, Carvalho, Alex and Branislav Ivanovic at the back, Frank Lampard, Ballack and Essien in midfield, and Malouda, Drogba and Kalaw up front.

'It was a real surprise to note that Nicolas Anelka, Chelsea's top scorer who has been doing well this season, was put on the bench tonight by Guus Hiddink, as Anelka has been Chelsea's top scorer this season.

"Perhaps, Hiddink wanted to start the game with a defensive focus, after all, they were already 3-1 up."

'Everybody felt that Liverpool wanted to turn that score around on the road unless there was another miracle.'

"Let's look at Liverpool again."

"The goalkeeper is Reina, the back line is Aurelio, Skrtel, Carragher and Arbeloa, the midfield is Mascherano and Xavi Alonso in a back two, Gerrard is up front, and the front trident is Yang Yang, Kuyt and Benayoun."

"Crouch, England's high-star who was much expected before the game, also did not appear in the starting lineup, which shows that the two world's top managers are in a-for-tat confrontation before the game, and they are hiding their backs and waiting for their opponents to make a move."

"Judging from the score of the first leg, Liverpool are now 1-3 down, and they must score more than three goals in the second leg to have a chance of progressing, which will be a great test of the Reds' attacking ability, because Chelsea's defensive ability has been obvious to all from the time of Ranieri to the present."

'It could be said that in the Champions League over the years, there has been another team that has scored more than three goals against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, which is why everyone was not optimistic about Liverpool before the game.

"And, Liverpool have to pay attention to the fact that Chelsea played very well in the first leg of the game, Branislav Ivanovic, Didier Drogba, Ballack, Alex ...... This game is still a start, which will be a huge test for Liverpool's defense, especially the defense of high ball. ”

"Then there's Reina, the Spanish goalkeeper has been a big problem for Liverpool this season, often making some undeserved mistakes in the game, and pushing Liverpool into trouble from time to time, which is obviously a problem as well."

"Alright, the game is about to start."

'It's Liverpool in the red shirt and they're attacking from left to right, Chelsea from right to left.

"Yang Yang and Kuyt stood in the middle circle, ready to serve."

"The game is on the verge of going off!"

…………

…………

Yang Yang stood in the middle circle, jumped twice on the spot, and took a deep breath.

His body had already moved during the warm-up, and he felt that he was in good shape.

He only played half a game against Blackburn, then he adjusted for three more days and now he was at his best.

As luck would have it, the weather and temperature tonight were also quite good.

"Ready." Kuyt reminded him.

Yang Yang smiled and nodded heavily.

……

With the referee's whistle, Kuyt quickly kicked the ball to Yang Yang.

Yang Yang didn't stop the ball and kicked it back to Gerrard, and he rushed forward quickly.

Gerrard played a pass back to the backline, and after Skrtel stopped the ball, he played a long pass, but instead of going straight to the middle, he moved to the right, where Kuyt competed with Ashley Cole for the spot.

But Kuyt couldn't get on the ground this time and the ball flew straight out of bounds, a Chelsea throw-in.

'From the start, we could clearly see that Liverpool's line-up was a bit of a surprise.

"Originally, we all thought that Kuyt would appear in the middle, but we didn't expect that it was Yang Yang who appeared in this position, while Kuyt appeared on the left side, and Benayoun was active in Yang Yang's left position."

"Judging from the long pass just now, Benitez's strategy is also very clear, avoiding Alex and Ballack in the middle, playing the low point of Ashley Cole on the left side of Chelsea, and playing the advantage of Kuyt's high ball to the top."

……

Liverpool bared their fangs from the start, and Chelsea were clearly not willing to be killed.

Hiddink did not adopt an overly conservative strategy, but chose to hit the nail on the head.

So after the opening, Liverpool pressed heavily and defended high, and Chelsea also laid down heavy reinforcements from the 30-metre zone to the halfway line.

Both teams started off a seemingly risky start, but both were relatively safe and didn't give each other a chance.
