Liverpool ended up walking away with a draw from Stamford Bridge.

One-to-one!

Even if Chelsea tried to put on a strong attack on Liverpool in the final stages, it was to no avail.

The Reds retreated from Stamford Bridge and Liverpool are unbeaten in three competitive matches this season, winning two and drawing one, much to Jose Mourinho's displeasure after the game and pointing the finger at the referee again.

The Chelsea manager believes that the referee missed a penalty for Chelsea, which could have helped Chelsea expand the score, and even made Liverpool completely desperate, but the referee forced it to lose.

Benitez retorted on the spot, saying that Mourinho's reasoning was very ridiculous, because Mascherano's foul was clearly on the edge of the box at the time, and it was reasonable to give a free kick.

'I don't understand why he asked for a penalty that didn't exist at all?'

The two head coaches fought on the field, and they still fought endlessly off the field.

Jose Mourinho said he thought the draw was unjustified and that Chelsea deserved a win on their own home turf.

However, Benitez also believes that Liverpool are better than Chelsea in terms of possession and shots, and Liverpool should win, but unfortunately, Chelsea were more lucky and scored first.

But in reality, the number of shots on goal between the two sides was nine to twelve, which was pitifully few.

It can also be seen from the number of shots on goal that the two teams have really achieved the ultimate in targeted tactics, restraining each other and not giving each other the slightest chance, and the number of direct shots on target, Chelsea only twice, Liverpool only three.

Mourinho referred to Drogba, who said the Ivorians had played a key role.

Benitez, on the other hand, mentioned Yang Yang, believing that the Chinese star is the key to Liverpool's promotion.

"From Yang Yang's eyes, I saw determination, fighting spirit, and his pursuit and desire for the pinnacle championship."

Benitez also said the side will return to Anfield to beat Chelsea and pick up a win.

'I have no doubt about Chelsea's quality and I don't deny that the Blues are strong enough to compete for a place in the final, but I would say that at Anfield the victory will only be ours Liverpool!'

'We've beaten every enemy in this stadium this season, whether it's Barcelona or Roma, they've come home at Anfield and it's Chelsea's turn.

Compared with Benitez's ambitions, Mourinho said that the possibility of the team advancing is still very high.

'We're going to be more proactive and aggressive at Anfield, we're going to do everything we can to get a win away from home and it's going to be us who get the tickets to Greece!'

The battle between the two managers after the game has naturally become a major attraction in the Premier League.

After the game, the British media was immediately divided into two factions as to who had a better chance of advancing to the final between the two teams, including the Daily Telegraph and The Times, and many media outlets were staunch Liverpool parties, and even Liverpool celebrities such as Alan Hansen and Dalglish also came forward to support Liverpool to reach the final again.

The Daily Mail and many other media support Chelsea, believing that it is difficult to tell the pros and cons of a 1-1 score at home, and Liverpool's home advantage is not necessarily a real advantage, so it is not known who will be able to reach the final.

The media of the two factions engaged in a propaganda war, each finding evidence in their favor and attacking the opposing team's and players, and all kinds of gossip were also noisy and endless.

There are even media rumours that Chelsea have secured hotels in the vicinity of Liverpool and booked a post-match celebration.

But how, no one knows.

…………

The day before Liverpool's draw at Chelsea, AC Milan travelled to Manchester United.

Carlo Ancelotti once again lined up for a Christmas tree formation and lost 3-2 to Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Cristiano Ronaldo received an assist from Ryan Giggs in the opening five minutes to get the back of the net for AC Milan, but it was soon up for Kaka to score twice in quick succession to help AC Milan turn the tide.

Then Rooney also scored a brace to put the score back again.

In the end, Manchester United beat AC Milan 3-2 at home, and although it was a victory, it was also a miserable victory, as AC Milan were given two away goals, which was not good for the next second leg away from home.

Yang Yang made a decisive move to draw away from Chelsea, with Ronaldo opening the scoring and Kaka and Rooney scoring twice.

After the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, the world's media focused on the performances of these young players.

Everyone began to realize that represented by these four players, the new forces in European football, especially the young players like Yang Yang, Rooney and Xiao Xiaoluo, began to gradually provoke the leading role in European football.

Among the group of people after the 85th Five-Year Plan, Yang Yang's current development momentum is undoubtedly the fiercest, whether it is the Premier League or the Champions League, he is the leading scorer and assist king, and there is basically no suspense.

Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney have also completed their metamorphosis this season, especially Ronaldo, who has impressed several outbursts this season, and it is clear to everyone that the Portuguese is bound to usher in the prime of his career soon.

As for the talented Messi, who was originally the most favored and had high hopes for Barcelona, there was no shortage of wonderful performances this season.

Whether it is the hat trick against Real Madrid at Camp Nou or the five-man team at home against Getafe, it makes people see his talent potential, but compared to Yang Yang, he is still inferior after all.

No, when Yang Yang and others competed in the Champions League and performed well, Messi was in a slump in La Liga.

But the Catalan media also began to stand up to protect the shortcoming, believing that Messi is the youngest among these post-85 generations, so naturally he should be more patient.

"Say that Messi is not as good as Yang Yang? Then may I ask, does Yang Yang have the ability to connect five people? ”

The provocation from the Catalan media was immediately countered by the British press.

"Yang Yang really can't connect five people, but can Messi be able to help five stars?"

"Five people in a row? No, does Messi have what it takes to blast the world at the beginning? ”

"Yang Yang really doesn't know anything, he will only score a hat-trick at Camp Nou!"

Under the hype of the media, the whole of European football seems to have become a battlefield.

But whether it is Yang Yang or Liverpool, there is no extra time to pay attention to these disturbances from the outside world.

Three days after playing Chelsea, the team ushered in the 36th round of the Premier League.

Away to Portsmouth.

With a bloody away win at Chelsea, Rafael Benitez rotated the game.

But as a result, in the 27th minute of the first half, goalkeeper Dudek, who came on as a substitute for Reina, made a mistake, and the Portsmouth players scored with a pick, and Liverpool conceded a goal.

After conceding the goal, Liverpool launched a counterattack, but just five minutes later, Portsmouth launched another long ball counterattack, and Liverpool conceded again and conceded two goals in a row.

However, at half-time, Benitez was in no hurry to make adjustments, and the tactics remained unchanged in the second half.

In the 59th minute, Liverpool pulled one back and took advantage of a corner kick opportunity, which Hyypia nodded into.

Substitute centre-back pulled one back for Liverpool.

Subsequently, Benitez made a decisive substitution adjustment.

First, in the 60th minute, Mohamed Sissoko was replaced by Xavi Alonso, and 10 minutes later, Robbie Fowler was replaced by Yang Yang, further strengthening the team's attack.

After only one minute on the field, Yang Yang completed a wonderful continuous wall-hitting cooperation with Aurelio, Mascherano and Xavi Alonso on the left side, and Xavi Alonso sent a precise through ball to the back of Portsmouth's defense, Yang Yang rushed into the penalty area, easily pushed the goal, and scored his 24th Premier League goal of the season!

This goal also completely sounded the horn of Liverpool's attack.

Subsequently, Yang Yang's left side completely became the main channel for Liverpool's attack.

Yang Yang frequently created threats on this side, planning attacks, and even in the 76th minute, he once connected three players of the opponent, entered the left side of the penalty area, and directly kicked the goal, but was quickly inserted by the opponent's right fullback Glen Johnson from the side and back, blocking the shot with his body.

This made Yang Yang very distressed, because if he was not in a hurry to score at that time, but deducted it again, he would have passed another one.

Maybe, there will be a drama after five people in a row.

Of course, he really didn't think much about it at the time.

But sometimes that's the way it is, after this village, there is no such shop.

With Portsmouth's substitutions, manager Redknapp also quickly strengthened his defense on the right flank, which allowed Liverpool's attack on the left to be curbed again.

It wasn't until the 83rd minute that Benitez made his final substitution, with captain Steven Gerrard replacing Mascherano.

Five minutes later, Yang Yang cut inside with the ball on the left side and passed straight behind him, and Gerrard inserted a calm push to hit it.

Three to two!

Liverpool reversed Portsmouth!

This sent Liverpool's players into a frenzy.

Redknapp said in the post-match press conference that Portsmouth performed better throughout the game, but unfortunately, Yang Yang changed the game after coming on as a substitute.

"It's clear that he's a top player who can change the game with his individual qualities!"

Redknapp's evaluation after the game also made many British media once again give Yang Yang overwhelming praise.

However, the Catalan media once again expressed dissatisfaction with Yang Yang's performance.

Although Yang Yang came up with a one-pass and one-shot performance, they paid more attention to Yang Yang's performance of failing to score by connecting three people once in the game, thinking that Yang Yang deliberately wanted to pass five people but failed.

This suddenly made them find excitement again.

The reason is also very simple, Barcelona narrowly defeated Levante 1-0 at home in this round, and the performance is still very bad.

Messi started and played the whole game, but none of them performed too well.
