Chapter 602: Is Liverpool Going to End?

When Iroh stepped forward to a short distance of only five meters from the bottom line, no one who was one meter tall or eight or six meters tall Ello's body coordination was so good, and he turned around and stopped the football back under the close grip of Mascherano, and then used his height and leg length advantage to jam the position and protect the football under his feet. ○

Then with his back to the goal, he suddenly made a move towards the arc of the penalty area, which was in front of Iro's left, because it would further expand the angle of the shot, thus rendering Mascherano's position useless.

Of course, if Mascherano had an accurate prediction, then he could fall to the ground with Iro's ass pouting and stretch his left foot to poke the ball away, but the problem is that he didn't have an accurate prediction, so he was caught off guard by Iro.

Mascherano only reacted when Iroh finished twisting his hips, but it was too late.

Since the angle between Iroh and the goal is only about 30 degrees, he chooses to shoot with the inside of the instep volley, which ensures the accuracy of the shot - the target is the far corner of the goal.

Because when the offensive player takes the ball to the left wing, the defender's goalkeeper will generally focus on the near corner, and naturally release the hole in the far corner, so this is the angle that Iroh wants to grasp! However, there is a risk in choosing the far corner, and if you don't get it right from the angle, you will likely miss the far post.

However, Iello chose to shoot with the instep of the foot, which ensures the accuracy of the ball, because the entire arch of the foot can completely cover the part that touches the ball, so that there will be no anti-aircraft gun or deflection of the goal.

The angle is small, but the football is close to the goal!

About 13 meters!

Bang -

The sound of the ball erupting from the contact of Elo's right foot was clearly heard by Mascherano, who was passively making defensive moves.

Then the Liverpool fans in the stands exclaimed, and in their field of vision, the ball ...... It's a tricky shot!

Even if Reina made a side save at the first time of Iello's shot, but the power and angle of the shot were superior, he didn't touch the football, and he didn't have any fur.

The ball didn't spin in the air, from leaving Elo's right foot to hitting the far corner of the goal.

Anfield, which was still an exclamation, suddenly became silent.

It took about two seconds for the Chelsea fans in the stands to chant for ...... The team they backed scored a goal!

※※※

The commentator, who had previously shaken his head after Iello and Lampard slammed into the wall, immediately changed their tone as soon as the ball went into the net, and began to praise Iello and Lampard for their chemistry.

"I have to say, Ai is really a giant nemesis! The stronger the opponent, the stronger the strength!! It was a valuable away goal from Chelsea against Liverpool, and perhaps at the end of the two legs, it will be worth a fortune! ”

BBC TV commentator Lineker exclaimed.

Not long after Iello scored, the Anfield Stadium director cut to a close-up shot of Rafael Benitez and Jose Mourinho respectively.

The former obviously had a complaining action, while the latter was excited like a child, he kept raising his arms and shouting, and he didn't know what he was roaring in, in short, the whole person looked quite excited, you must know that he has not scored in the Champions League knockout game since he took charge of Chelsea.

What a tm evil door!

Of course, Iroh was also excited to score, his 15th goal in the Champions League.

Although he did not have the same goalscoring efficiency as last season's Champions League, he did help the team score a valuable away goal on the road, and Iroh preferred team glory to individual glory......

No matter how strong one person is, he can't beat the whole team, and only by building on the team as a whole can he play his best, so after scoring the goal, he turned around with a smile and pointed his finger at Frank Lampard, who sent him the crucial pick-and-roll ball, and the two met in the arc of the penalty area.

Two pillars of Chelsea's front line, hugging to celebrate a rare away goal!

Regardless of the final outcome of this match, there is no denying that the meaning behind this away goal will be very heavy.

※※※

The game restarted and Liverpool took advantage of the kick-off as they launched a fierce attack on the Chelsea goal.

Although the defense under Mourinho's guidance has not reached the point of leakage, the overall defensive ability can still solve Liverpool's attacking with momentum.

After the score was equalised, the Liverpool fans in the stands sang their team song "You Will Never Walk Alone", and in this way they cheered for their team, making the players on the pitch feel that they were not only fighting in this game, but also the fans in the stands were fighting and fighting together in another way!

As a result, Liverpool's players played harder and harder under the singing of the fans in the stands, especially captain Steven Gerrard, who used his best game - a powerful long-range shot to test Cech's concentration in the first attack.

Clearly, Cech is one of the top three on the planet, and he single-handedly saved Gerrard's shot off the line.

It didn't take long for Cech to play well enough to deny Torres' header and keep the goal intact!

After Liverpool were denied by Petr Cech with two threatening shots, Chelsea's two full-backs consciously moved closer to the box at Mourinho's behest, with two wingers filling in the gaps on the flanks, thus lengthening the interval between Liverpool's chances.

Chelsea also had two quick counter-attacks, but in the end, Drogba, who was outflanked in place, had a foot that went wide of the post and a foot high over the crossbar, otherwise Chelsea also used this period of efficient counter-attacks to overtake the score.

As the clock ticked by, and in the blink of an eye, Liverpool were still attacking the Chelsea defence under the singing of the home fans in the stands, but Chelsea had two good counter-attack chances in succession, and Benitez's tactical dictates that the two wings were only allowed to take turns forward, and Mascherano had to stay in the middle of the pitch while the team attacked.

Gerrard and Xavi Alonso were attacking about 35 metres from the Chelsea goal, the former was responsible for cutting forward, short passes and through balls, while Xavi Alonso was responsible for dividing the ball to both wings or two ribs, at this moment, Babel suddenly stepped forward and took away Ashley Cole's defensive strength, while Arbeloa ran sideways along the sideline to the big penalty line, and Ielloh, who was not good at defense, forgot to follow at this time!

A fatal flaw has been created!

Mourinho and Benitez's faces changed at the same time.

At the same time, Xavi Alonso, who had just received Gerrard's cross-pass, directly passed a half-high ball to Terry from a mid-distance, who looked at the incoming ball and jumped up subconsciously, but he underestimated the height of Xavi Alonso's pass, and it turned out to be ...... It's topped!

"Oh my God...... Terry is on top!! Sky TV announcer Andy Gray shouted loudly.

As soon as the words ended, a tall figure appeared in the camera on the flight path of the football, and Andy Gray exclaimed: "Peter Cech is attacking!" ”

The Liverpool fans in the stands were even chanting for the tacit cooperation of the Spanish duo of Xavi Alonso and Arbeloa, but what they didn't expect was that they were ruthlessly destroyed by the Czech Petr Cech, and all of a sudden, a tsunami of boos came from all sides of the stands.

However, the boos had no effect on the players on the pitch other than producing a cacophony of noise.

Instead of standing on the spot and holding the ball to stabilize the rhythm, Cech threw the ball to the left side of his attack, which is Elo's turf!

※※※

Cech's move frightened Benitez, his own right side of the defence is now a void, right midfielder Babel and right-back Arbeloa are both in the 20-metre area of Chelsea's defence, so he roared at the stunned players on the field: "Back to defend!" Speed back !! ”

In fact, there is no need for Benitez's reminder that Mascherano, who defends in the middle during the attack, rushed to Iello at the first moment when Cech threw the ball, and he only had one idea, that is, to put Iroh to the ground, as for whether he will be yellow carded, it is not a question for him to think about.

However, everything that is imagined is beautiful, but it is not so practiced in practice.

Iello has played more than five games against Mascherano in the last two seasons, so why don't you know the latter's defensive strategy?

Now is the time when Liverpool's back is empty, and blue-collar players with even the slightest bit of a head will choose to put the ball carrier to the ground in exchange for valuable time to return.

Elo clearly did not give the approaching Mascherano this opportunity, and stopped the ball with the outside of his right foot with the outside of his right foot in a position slightly to the left ten meters from the center circle, and then quickly completed the turn, which in the technical term of a football field is a stop.

Mascherano didn't expect Iroh to break through from the wing, so he could only continue to chase Eelo diagonally.

At the same time, the central defender Carragher moved closer to Elo, and the other central defender Agger stuck to the middle, and Reese, who was not involved in the attack, consciously made up for the position in the middle.

Shhh

The Liverpool fans in the stands watched as Iroh pushed forward at high speed against the left sideline, and let out a distracting boo, but it was clear that Iroh's 99 game input could completely leave these off-pitch pieces behind.

He directly slid the ball forward for nearly ten meters, and then spread his legs to chase after Elo, Mascherano, who wanted to chase Ailo diagonally, saw that Ailo's speed was fully up, so he ran to the middle, and the central defender Carragher defended Ailo.

"Ai's quick counterattack, is Liverpool going to be finished?"

Carragher was closer to his own baseline than Eiro, so he rushed over without hesitation, and the goal was to choose to put Eloh to the ground, because in the past few games, he has realized the destructive power of Elo on the counter-attack, and it is very worthwhile to exchange a yellow card for a possible conceded goal.
