After Yang Yang's goal, the game was still developing in Liverpool's favor.

Yang Yang's left flank is very active, still Liverpool's most dangerous attacking line, he even once wore Bora Luz's crotch, rushed into the box with the ball, and picked up a cross to assist Pennant, but the latter's shot was deflected.

But just when everyone thought that Liverpool would end the first half with a score of 1-0, in the 42nd minute of the game, Chelsea suddenly launched an attack.

Frank Lampard's cross from the right was met by Drogba on the edge of the box, after carrying Carragher with his body, stopping the ball on his chest, turning and volleying directly with his left foot.

The ball was like a cannonball, and it hit the left side of the goal with great speed, and Reyna couldn't reach it.

The final score is 1 to 1!

When referee Mike Riley blew the whistle for the end of the first half, Liverpool's players were somewhat disappointed.

It was supposed to be a one-goal lead, but it was scored near the end of the goal, and anyone who replaced it would be a little emotional.

…………

…………

"It's so exciting, it's too sudden!"

"If Shevchenko had played the ball, I thought it would have been acceptable, but I didn't expect it to be Drogba."

'If I'm not mistaken, he's been in the Premier League for the third time he's scored against us.

"This guy is also a big guy, and the stronger the team, the better he will perform."

"He hit the ball with his left foot just now, it was very sudden, the ball was fast, and he didn't have time to react."

……

Yang Yang returned to the dressing room, and his teammates were enthusiastically discussing Drogba's goal.

It was indeed a very technical goal, but it was from Didier Drogba.

The scoring efficiency of the Ivorian Warcraft has never been high, and the British media even once ridiculed him for missing the elephant's ass from the penalty spot, which shows how bad his shooting ability is.

But from the shot just now, especially the left-footed turn volley, there is really no way to say that it is luck.

It is true that there is a certain element of luck in the goals scored on the football field, but only if there is enough strength.

If you don't have enough strength to support it, no matter how lucky you are, you can't score a goal.

Therefore, it can only be said that since Drogba joined the Premier League, he has been constantly improving and improving himself.

With excellent physical fitness, if he really practices a superb shooting skill, it will definitely be a terrifying goal machine.

'It was definitely a world-class goal.' Yang Yang praised from the bottom of his heart.

Everyone in the Liverpool dressing room couldn't help but be a little surprised after hearing this, they didn't expect Yang Yang to take the initiative to compliment his opponent, and listening to his tone didn't seem like a joke at all, or a scene, but seriously.

Seeing that his teammates were all looking at him a little stunned, Yang Yang shook his head and smiled, "I haven't scored this kind of ball." ”

Everyone burst into laughter.

In fact, it is not surprising, because a volley similar to Drogba's after stopping the ball requires not only high shooting skills, but also requires players to have strong physical fitness.

The moment Drogba stopped the ball on his chest and turned around, Carragher was completely suppressed by the Ivorians.

If it were Yang Yang, he would have to adopt a more lighter approach, rather than being as straightforward or even brutal as Drogba, but the Ivorian is full of a violent aesthetic in this way.

"It's really not easy for you to score a ball like him, but he can't score a ball with you." Gerald said with a smile.

Everyone nodded their heads again.

The two goals in the first half were very effective, Drogba's goal was wonderful, but Yang Yang's goal was also not bad, he was able to stop the ball under the attack of Bolaruz and Essien, and deducted Essien, and hit the goal with a curling ball, which is definitely a wonderful goal.

"I even think that if you work harder in the second half, with the state of Bolaruz, you can really score a brace, or even a three-in-a-row, and if that's the case, then from now on, the players of Manchester United will have to walk with their heads down when they see us?" Gerald laughed.

As soon as he said this, everyone in the locker room immediately followed suit.

Cristiano Ronaldo only had three people in a row in the last round, and if Yang Yang drew a gourd in the same way this round, it would definitely be the most painful blow to the Portuguese, and it would definitely make the entire British media go crazy.

Yang Yang shook his head and smiled bitterly, how is this possible?

It's not easy to beat three people in a row, especially if it's against a team like Chelsea who defend very well.

Even if it is the time difference at the moment when the opponent is caught off guard, it is extremely difficult.

"Stephen is right, be bold, I think Chelsea's form is enough in this game." Carragher also laughed and said he didn't seem to take the goal against Drogba to heart at all.

To be able to become a professional player in the top league, all of them have a big heart, and if they always keep their mistakes in mind and affect their form and performance, they will not be able to gain a foothold in the top league at all.

His teammates also expressed encouragement and support, and even Xavi Alonso said that Yang Yang could indeed work harder.

This made Yang Yang secretly laugh in his heart, the score in the first half was really 1 to 1?

Are you sure it's not two to zero?

But he quickly figured out where the Liverpool player's confidence came from.

Benitez's tactics completely overwhelmed Mourinho!

Whether it was from the pre-match line-up or from the trend of the game, there was no surprise to Benitez at all, the only surprise was Drogba's goal, but it was a flash of inspiration for the players, uncontrollable.

Pennant has also been lively on the right, completely neutralizing Chelsea's Ashley Cole on the left, Crouch in the middle has been very successful, while midfielder Steven Gerrard is a free man, and Xavi Alonso and Mohamed Sissoko have also been successful.

Jose Mourinho used a four-man midfield set-up in the middle, but it felt awkward.

Essien and Frank Lampard, in particular, have been relegated to the wings, which is not at all an area they excel in.

However, Liverpool opened the whole formation through two wings, which is really a big challenge for Chelsea's defense, and the frequent one-on-one opportunities for Yang Yang and Pennant in the first half are the best examples.

Therefore, Yang Yang has a feeling that it is not that the Chelsea players are in poor condition, but that there is a problem with their arrangement, and they are completely suppressed by Liverpool, although the possession rate is as high as 65%, but it is useless, and they can't play an effective attack at all.

On the other hand, Liverpool's sharp attacks again and again have made Chelsea a little tired of coping.

Thinking about it deeply, Yang Yang couldn't help but be full of confidence in the second half, just like other teammates.

As long as I continue to continue the thinking of the first half and continue to play like this, I believe that winning the game in the second half will not be a problem.

Maybe there's a chance to score again.

……

Rafael Benitez gave full credit on his team's first-half performance after returning to the dressing room, but he felt that the team's ability to take chances was still lacking and needed to be strengthened.

At the same time, he also mentioned that the Chelsea players were in a bit of a hurry.

'It's their home stadium and it's 1-1 but the pressure is still on their side, so we have to keep playing the way we did in the first half in the second half and you have to be patient.'

Yang Yang and his teammates also responded one after another, obviously agreeing with the head coach's analysis and judgment.

After thinking deeply, Yang Yang finally understood why Benitez was so cold and even a little unkind, but the Liverpool players still admired him so much, the reason is simple, his tactics are really excellent.

Good enough to convince everyone that as long as they follow his arrangements and follow his instructions, the team will win!

…………

…………

The game restarted in the second half.

Surprisingly, neither side made adjustments.

Mourinho still used the tactical style of play in the first half, but strengthened the defense on the left side of Bolaruz, focusing on limiting Yang Yang.

The Portuguese madman admires Yang Yang very much, and is naturally very jealous.

But in the 51st minute of the second half, the situation on the field suddenly changed.

In a scramble, Mohamed Sissoko fell to the ground for a tackle, and Chelsea midfielder Ballack was a step too late, but instead of closing his foot, he stepped on the inside of Sissoko's knee, and the Mali midfielder hugged his knee in pain on the spot.

All of this happened under the nose of referee Mike Riley, who, of course, unceremoniously showed Ballack a red card and sent the German midfielder off the pitch.

Mourinho on the sidelines looked extremely angry, he was very dissatisfied with the referee's decision, thinking that it was just an unintentional mistake and should not be shown a red card directly, and he even hugged the fourth referee to reason.

But in the end, the referee ignored the protests from the sidelines, and Ballack was sent off in frustration.

It was the first straight red card of his career.

Jose Mourinho immediately called Essien to the sidelines and gave him an opportune lesson.

After the game restarted, Yang Yang found that the defensive pressure he faced on the left side was much easier.

Due to the repeated onslaught of Steven Gerrard and Crouch, coupled with Xavi Alonso's ability to cut back and cut in, Essien and Lampard had to shrink even more towards the middle.

At the same time, Yang Yang also noticed that Mourinho's assistant coach Boas has begun to let Robben on the bench go out to warm up, apparently to make a substitution.

At this time, Robben was replaced, and it was clear that the carriage and horse were to play defensive counterattacks, but it was not clear when the specific time of substitution would be.

But there is no doubt that Ballack's downfall completely changed the trend of the game, and at the same time, Yang Yang felt a wave of ecstasy.

Here's a chance!

There's a real chance!

His main hunger is to score goals and he hopes to help Liverpool beat Chelsea away in what would be a landmark game for Liverpool this season.

As for the three people in a row, that's really not what he considered, because it's unrealistic.

Yang Yang is a relatively conservative person, he never pursues something unrealistic or beyond his control, he believes in going with the flow.
