148. Attack, attack, attack
Two to three meters is enough for a shijie-level center forward, which is very dangerous.
Seeing the football rushing in, Liverpool's defenders were shocked and moved closer to Chelsea's centre-forward Didier Drogba. This was a knee-jerk reaction from the sudden tension of relaxation, and everyone immediately pounced on the most threatening figure for the team, Drogba.
So, Liverpool's defenders all pounced on Drogba. However, as he waited for the football to fly over their heads, he was shocked to realize that something was wrong, that the ball was not passed to Drogba.
The ball flew over everyone's heads and straight to the back of the goal.
"Paul, Ferreira!" Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laursen suddenly saw a figure flickering at the back post, and a player wearing a Chelsea blue shirt rushed up, and before the ball hit the ground, he directly met the ball and volleyed it, and he instantly roared wildly.
Yes, it was Chelsea's full-back Paulo 61 Ferreira who rushed up at the back point, and this guy followed up very timely, he didn't pause, and directly met the ball with a volley.
Boom! There was a loud bang, and the ball was immediately fired into the Liverpool goal like a bullet.
Because everyone's attention was on Drogba, they ignored the defense at the back point, and the roommates who waited for them to react were no longer in a hurry. Similarly, Liverpool goalkeeper Reyna in the middle was unable to react, although he still made a sideways pun, but it was noticeably half a beat slower, and the ball flew into the Liverpool goal at a high speed, lifting the white net high.
"Gooo......oooo ”
"Ferreira! Ferreira! Ferreira! The stadium at Stamford Bridge was immediately filled with the unanimous cheers of the Chelsea fans. The Chelsea fans were so excited that the bad anger in their hearts could finally come out, and they were so excited that they went crazy.
The Chelsea players in the stadium were even more frantic, rushing into the Liverpool penalty area, overthrowing Ferreira to the ground, and then everyone pressed up and played Arhat in the Liverpool penalty area.
The Chelsea players were very excited at this time, and the emotions that had been suppressed for almost half the game finally broke out, who the hell said that our Chelsea is not as good as Liverpool's? Who the fuck said we Chelsea were going to lose to Liverpool?
The victory belongs to us at Chelsea, no one can take it away, no one can take it away.
The Chelsea players were excited, and the Chelsea fans were even more excited. Liverpool's players and fans lost their voices en masse, and their advantage didn't last long, so it was equalized, which is a pity.
1-1, the two sides stood in a draw in the 34th minute of the first half and returned to the same running line.
After the equaliser, Chelsea's morale was high and the tempo of their attack increased significantly. And the number of troops invested is also more, and all of a sudden, Liverpool seems to be a little dangerous.
Deco in the middle once again moved forward with the ball, and Liverpool's defenders immediately focused their spirits. Qiu Ze also immediately greeted him, this time Qiu Ze was much more cautious, he didn't want to beat Deco to death with a stick and cut off the football at Deco's feet.
Liverpool were basically back in their own half at this point, and now they are starting to defend as a team. Chelsea's attack has been very ferocious recently, and Liverpool have temporarily avoided Chelsea's edge and waited for a chance to make a comeback.
Deco wanted to break through many times, but he was defended by Qiu Ze, and he also thought about passing, but Liverpool's players defended very tightly, and he did not find a suitable point to the ball, he only passed the football back, reversed the ball through the backfield, and looked for opportunities again.
Chelsea started to pour the ball at the back, and the Liverpool players didn't press too hard and let Chelsea fall in the box, much to the dissatisfaction of the Chelsea fans, who immediately let out a frenzied boo, and they made a very bitter sarcasm for Liverpool's negative attitude to the game.
However, the Liverpool players did not care and continued to go their own way, which made the Chelsea fans angry, and they immediately provoked the Liverpool players with louder boos, but to little effect.
And at this time, Chelsea's loyal Deco suddenly sent a long ball again, and the ball was sent directly to the feet of Paul 61 Ferreira on the wing. Yes, this time Deco switched sides, and Paul's 61 Ferreira on the wing stepped forward quickly and easily won the football.
After winning the football, Liverpool's defender Aveloa immediately pounced and stared at Paul 61 Ferreira, who tried to break through many times, but unfortunately failed. He immediately passed the ball back. It was passed back to Essien, who came along.
Essien received the ball and suddenly crossed it and it rolled straight to the feet of Frank Lampard in the middle. Frank Lampard saw that Liverpool's defence was very tight and it was actually difficult to break through, so he immediately thought about the ball slightly, took a sprint, and then fired a long-range shot directly from 35 yards out.
"Frank Lampard!" Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson was taken aback by the surprise of Frank Lampard's sudden long-range shot from such a distance.
Boom, Lampard struck the ball and it flew towards Liverpool's goal like a meteor.
The height of the ball was not good, but it was fast, and it quickly flew through the gaps of the Liverpool players and directly into the Liverpool penalty area.
In front of the goal, Liverpool's goalkeeper Reina immediately pounced sideways, his feet were like springs, his body swished out, and his straight hands immediately saved the football from the bottom line.
"Wow! Fantastic save, Reyna saved Frank Lampard's long-range shot, good! Sky Sports commentator Gary 61 Lineker lamented.
In fact, it is very difficult to save such a long-range shot, which requires accurate judgment and fast reaction. Reyna did it this time, and the Liverpool fans in the scene immediately gave Reyna the most blazing applause.
Corner, home team Chelsea gets a corner.
Chelsea's tall men poured into the Liverpool penalty area. This time Chelsea's two centre-backs went up just one, Carvalho went up and John Terry stayed.
That's because Chelsea's last counter-attack was fresh in Chelsea's memory, and they didn't want to give Liverpool that chance again, so they were much more cautious and didn't take it too lightly.
Chelsea are very dominant in headers, and Chelsea are the team with the most goals from corners in the Premier League this season, and their corners are very threatening, and Liverpool's defenders are not to be underestimated, and they have followed up with the Chelsea players around them.
At this time, the referee blew the whistle, and Deco immediately drove the football out, but this landing point surprised everyone. Deco unexpectedly drove the ball out of the box and not over the heads of the Chelsea players.
The ball raced to the edge of the penalty area and Chelsea's Frank Lampard struck a volley from the edge of the box.
Fortunately, Qiu Ze reacted in time, immediately rushed out, jumped up to block Lampard, and interfered, Lampard didn't play the ball well, the football flew directly out of the bottom line, and Chelsea missed another opportunity.
It didn't take long for Reyna to kick the ball straight away, and it flew to the front court and landed on the head of Fernando 61 Torres. Fernando 61 Torres immediately pushed the ball to the feet of Qiu Ze, who was following behind, while he himself turned sharply and rushed towards the Chelsea penalty area.
Qiu Ze did not stop the ball, and directly picked up the football that Fernando pushed over, and the football went directly over the head of Deco who rushed up, and also over the head of Fernando 61 Torres and Essien, and the football fell directly in front of Fernando 61 Torres.
Seeing the football fall in front of him, the Spanish striker glanced up at the Chelsea goal, and then without saying a word, he directly kicked the falling football.
With a bang, Fernando 61 Torres came directly with a volley.
The ball was huge, and the ball flew out of Fernando 61 Torres' feet at a rapid pace, flew away at a rapid pace, and then suddenly fell sharply as it struggled in the penalty area. The ball fell very fast, and that's the biggest feature of the volley.
This kind of volley makes it very difficult for the goalkeeper to defend, and the difficulty is not to judge when the ball will fall, let alone how fast it will fall.
So, Chelsea goalkeeper Peter 61 Cech was nervous in front of goal. However, he flew out quickly, stretching out his hands to touch the football, but he did not touch it, and the Chelsea fans in the stadium were shocked.
"Oops! What a pity! The football is slightly out of the goal, alas! Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson roared in disgust.
Yes, it was a shame because the ball almost grazed the right post of the Chelsea goal and flew off the line, which is really a fraction of a second.
Liverpool fans covered their faces with their heads in their hands, lamenting that this opportunity was a pity and a waste.
At that moment, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, and the two sides ended in a 1-1 draw in the first half, with Liverpool getting an away goal.
Such a solution is certainly not acceptable to Chelsea. This is their home stadium and they have to finish Liverpool on their home turf because the second leg will be moved to Liverpool's home stadium, where they don't have the confidence to win.
So, at half-time, Chelsea's manager Scolari only emphasised one point, which was attack, to score in the second half, to score as many goals as possible, to win this game so that the initiative could be in their hands.
Of course, Scolari is not worried about his own defence. When he reminded his players to attack, he also asked the Chelsea players to pay attention to the defense and must not give Liverpool a chance to counterattack. It can be seen that Liverpool's counterattack in the first half has scared Scolari a little.
Now that is the result is acceptable for Liverpool, who have scored an away goal. So, they shouldn't be in a hurry in the second half, it's Chelsea who should be in a hurry, so Benitez just let the Liverpool players play according to the tactics of the first half.
Soon, fifteen minutes passed at half-time, and the second half was about to begin. Players from both sides immediately returned to the pitch to start the second half of the game.
At the start of the second half, Liverpool kicked off first. After kick-off, Liverpool did not rush to attack, but began to fall in the midfield, which made the anxious Chelsea players immediately pounce. Qiu Ze, who picked up the ball in midfield, suddenly spotted a gap in Chelsea's backline and immediately sent the ball towards Chelsea's half.
