"Hello everyone, fans and friends in front of the TV. This is Sky Sports, and today we bring you the second leg of this season's UEFA Champions League semi-finals against Chelsea and Liverpool from the Premier League. Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laursen began his pre-match introduction.
'The first leg between the two sides ended in a one-one draw, and now Chelsea have an away goal advantage in their hands. Today, Chelsea will play Liverpool at their home stadium, and Liverpool will definitely attack if they want to win today, and it will be a very exciting game. Sky Sports football commentator Gary 61 Lineker said.
And at this time, the players of both sides have appeared in the players' tunnel, and the game is about to start.
Qiu Ze stood in the queue for the Liverpool team, his eyes fixed on the front, and he did not turn his head to look at the Chelsea players around him, as if he did not take the Chelsea people in his eyes.
The Chelsea players standing next to the Liverpool queue also did not turn their heads, their eyes were firmly fixed on the front, their faces were very solemn, which was a precursor to the big game that was imminent.
"Haode, the players from both sides have already played, and this game is about to start." Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson said, "Now let's give you a look at the starting line-ups for both sides today. β
"First of all, let me give you an introduction to the visiting Liverpool starting list for today." Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson shook the information in his hand and said, "Today Benitez is in a four-two-three-one formation. β
"First of all, the goalkeeper is the familiar Reina, who is still in the starting line-up." Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson follows the book, "In the back four it's Finnen, Carragher, Daniel 61 Ag and Reese. β
"Oh, Daniel 61 Agg, this guy is finally back from injury. However, it was really unexpected that Benitez would send a player who had just returned from injury in such an important game. At the same time, he is very bold in his approach. Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson said in surprise.
'In the midfield position, Gerrard is still the partner of Xavi 61 Alonso, and Mascherano is still on the bench. Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson continued, "The three in the forward line are Kuyt, Chris 61 Qiu and Benayoun. β
'It's been a long time since the Israeli was in Liverpool's starting line-up, so Benitez started him today, which was a bit of a surprise, wondering how Benayoun was doing today?" At this time, Thiem 61 Laursen felt very surprised, because Benitez's lineup was really surprising.
"The guy up front is of course the Spaniard, Fernando 61 Torres." Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson said.
"Haode, after Thiem has introduced the starting list of the Liverpool team, then it is up to me to introduce you to the starting list of the home team Chelsea today." Sky Sports football commentator Gary 61 Lineker took Tim 61 Laurson's words and said.
'Today the home team Chelsea sent a 4231 formation, the same as Liverpool. Sky Sports football commentator Gary 61 Lineker said: 'In goalkeeping is Czech Petr 61 Cech and he is a zuihou in the Chelsea defence. β
'In the back four, it's Bosingwa, John Terry, Carvalho and Ashley 61.' Gary 61 Lineker said, "In the midfield position are Essien and German Ballack. β
'Ballack was back in the starting line-up and it was a bit of a surprise to us. It can be seen that the managers of both sides will be hoping for some changes in this game. Sky Sports football commentator Gary 61 Lineker expressed his opinion.
'The three in the forward line are Joe Cole, Frank Lampard and Malouda. Sky Sports football commentator Gary 61 Lineker immediately said, "At the top of the line is of course the African monster Drogba." β
"Haode, now that the players from both sides are standing in the stadium, the game is about to start." Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laursen said excitedly.
"Toot!" A whistle blew, and the referee of the game blew the whistle for the start of the game.
It was Chelsea in the blue shirt who kicked off first, and Chelsea were not in a hurry to press at the start of the game because now they had the advantage and it was not them who were anxious. Chelsea's tactics today were to be in control, so the Chelsea players were upside down in central midfield.
Liverpool have no choice but to attack because they are at a disadvantage. If they don't attack, they'll be finished with Liverpool.
Therefore, at the beginning of the game, the Liverpool players pounced very fiercely. The Liverpool players pressed forward quickly and pressed hard, and now their first goal was to cut off the ball at the feet of the Chelsea players and score as quickly as possible.
However, Chelsea's possession at the back was very solid, and several back-to-back kicks managed to disrupt the Liverpool players' scrambles. Seeing that there was no siege, Liverpool's players began to increase their investment and press forward as a whole, hoping to rely on the advantage of numbers to grab the ball in the front court.
Suddenly, Chelsea's Frank Lampard found Malouda, who was cutting in at high speed, with a long pass straight through the midfield, and Malouda received the ball past Liverpool full-back Finnan and headed straight into a cross. The ball arcs through the air and flies into the penalty area.
The African monsters Drogba, Carragher, and Daniel 61 Ag in the Liverpool penalty area jumped together. The ball quickly crossed the head of Carragher at the front point and flew towards the back point, Drogba immediately shook his head when he saw the incoming ball, but the ball was pushed out of the penalty area by Daniel 61 Ague in the middle of the way, and the players of the Liverpool team were relieved, Daniel 61 Ague performed well after returning from injury, no wonder Benitez dared to let him start directly.
The Chelsea fans sighed, it was a very good chance, Frank Lampard's long ball was in place, Malouda's dribbling was in one go, and the bottom cross was full of energy, but it was a pity that Daniel 61 Agger in the middle was the first to destroy the ball.
The ball flew out of the Liverpool box and Chelsea's iron man Frank Lampard pounced on it like a tiger out of the cage and scrambled towards the ball as if he wanted to shoot directly at the edge of the box. Unfortunately, Liverpool's captain Steven Gerrard reacted quicker, grabbed the position first, and kept Frank Lampard at bay.
Gerrard just caught the ball, but Frank Lampard, who rushed up at high speed behind him, did not brake the car, he was directly knocked to the ground, and the referee's whistle immediately sounded, and the Chelsea team fouled!
"Damn Chelseamen, butchers, garbage, you rascals......" Seeing their captain Steven Gerrard being violated, Liverpool fans immediately cried out and pointed the finger at Chelsea's iron man Frank Lampard.
"Shhh You damn diver, go back to your Anfield, this is Stamford Bridge! Fack! The Chelsea fans were frantically cursing Steven Gerrard, who they thought was a fake.
"Oh, a ferocious pressing led to a foul! The atmosphere of this game is too hot, it can be seen that both sides are bound to win this game, and the two sides are not giving in to each other in terms of momentum, it seems that this game has to be played! Gary 61 Lineker said with emotion at Lampard's ferocious pressing.
'Obviously, it's a very important game for both sides, and of course they're not going to let the opposition take the initiative, so it's a matter of time.' Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson lamented.
Liverpool immediately converted a free-kick, but it wasn't a high ball. At the back, Carragher sent the ball straight to the feet of full-back Reese.
Immediately after receiving Qiu, Reese dribbled in at high speed and headed towards the Chelsea half. After facing a block from Chelsea wing-back Joe Cole, he played a wall-to-wall link with Carragher and passed the ball to Steven Gerrard.
After Gerrard caught the football, he immediately turned around and passed the ball to Xavi 61 Alonso next to him, which caused Drogba, who was rushing up behind him, to pounce in the air.
Xavi 61 Alonso received the ball and immediately reached out to pick the ball over the head of Frank Lampard who rushed up, but Xavi 61 Alonso was unsuccessful and the ball was broken.
Chelsea counter-attacked immediately, but Malouda's dribble was beautifully tackled by Finnan and the football was back at the feet of Liverpool.
Liverpool fullback Finnan drove the football directly to the front court with a big foot, Qiu Ze in the front court stopped the football with his chest, and then knocked the football back to Xavi 61 Alonso, and then ran forward without the ball, making a look of wanting to play a one-two with Xavi 61 Alonso, attracting the attention of Chelsea defenders.
Chelsea's midfielder Essien immediately followed Qiu Ze back, and there was a gap in the ribs of their defence, and Xavi 61 Alonso immediately made a decisive stop.
"Beautiful!" The commentators from all over the stands roared with gusto.
Fernando 61 Torres scrambled in and his back plugged in just in time. However, Xavi's 61 Alonso's pass was a little too wide and Chelsea's centre-back John Terry had already caught up with the ball by the time he caught up with the ball.
Fernando 61 Torres is likely to be cut off as long as he stops the ball. So, Fernando 61 Torres did not stop the ball, but swept the ball to the middle with a fall to the ground!!
"Deadly pass!! From Fernando 61 Torres β Chris !! He got the ball!! Offside? No offside!!! The goal is not offside!! Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson roared with excitement.
Qiu Ze was on the wing, with Chelsea's Essien following him. However, Qiu Ze suddenly made a diagonal cut, and there was a gap in the middle, just receiving a pass from Fernando 61 Torres. And Essin didn't keep up with Qiu Ze's footsteps at all, Qiu Ze's speed was too fast.
Chelsea's centre-back Carvalho turned around and saw that Qiu Ze had the ball, and his first reaction was not to chase back, but to raise his hand to signal to the linesman and the referee that Qiu Ze was offside.
But neither the referee nor the linesman said anything, and the Chelsea players woke up like a dream and hurried back to defending.
However, at this time, Qiu Ze had already dribbled into the penalty area, and it was too late for Chelsea's defenders to return to the defense at this time, and they had to pin all their hopes on the crazy Czech goalkeeper Peter 61 Cech.
Single Knife! It's time to go to the meeting!
Qiu Ze single-handedly faced Chelsea goalkeeper Peter 61 Cech!
Shaking left and right, the body shook sharply with the dazzling feints under his feet, Qiu Ze made the attacking Czech goalkeeper Peter 61 Cech dizzy, and the stunned Peter 61 Cech reluctantly made a wrong judgment, Qiu Ze shot to the right He did pounce in the opposite direction, and could only lie on the turf and turn his head to look at the ball behind him and slowly rolled into the unguarded gate.
"Oh God! Pendulum pass!! From Chris! Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson exclaimed, and at that moment, he almost thought he was seeing an alien named Ronaldo playing on the field.
βgaaaaaalοΌοΌ Scored! From Chris! It was Chris's sixteenth goal in this Champions League! Liverpool are ahead! They lead Chelsea on the road!! Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson roared with excitement.
"Beautiful!! It was a beautiful teamwork! Xavi's 61 Alonso's through ball is timely, Fernando's 61 Torres' tackle is beautiful!! Chris's shot was brilliant, it was a beautiful goal! Sky Sports football commentator Gary 61 Lineker exclaimed.
