Chapter 710: Yokohama is a blessed land
Behind the goal guarded by Reyna is the famous KOP stand at Anfield Stadium, the area where the most loyal Liverpool fans are located, so in every home game, the sound here is always the loudest, but this time they saw the vice-captain Carragher's top grab was pierced by Elo, and it turned from the previous boos to the current silence.
Even they didn't know what the reason was, but they just had their mouths half-open.
Those fans who have contributed to Liverpool all their lives instantly turned white.
For Iroh's individual ability, it is even clearer for fans who are mortal enemies.
“oh! Mugwort!! BBC commentator Lineker could not suppress the excitement in his heart, and immediately shouted: "Crotch again!! ”
Equally excited was the Premier League commentator Zhan Jun of the CCAV-5 channel, who raised his arms and shouted: "Liverpool's defensive pillar Carragher was pierced by Irolo's light ankle change, and he singled out!! ”
Another centre-back, Skrtel, rushed to make up for it, but it was clear for Elloh's speed...... His pace was so slow that goalkeeper Reyna had to drop off from the small penalty line.
He knew that he was just waiting to die in front of the door, so he might as well go out and fight.
Roar!
Before attacking, he yelled to give himself courage.
At this moment, Iro, who had reached the line of the big penalty area, suddenly picked up his right foot, Reina's subconscious body paused, and Skrtel couldn't care about the distance between the two and jumped far away, flying from the side, trying to interfere with the shooting Iro.
But...... This time, Iroh was not ready to shoot himself, but quickly put down his picked up right foot at high speed, and then used the outside instep to pass the ball to Drogba, who was now unmarked.
For Iroh, who has the highest single-handed shooting percentage, no one expected him to pass the ball at a critical moment.
Drogba didn't expect it either, but his solid fundamentals and sense of smell in front of goal were very strong, and he easily sent the ball into the empty net with the arch of his foot.
Even though Reina flew to the side, because of the distance, he could only look at the ball and sigh.
Mourinho, who was standing on the field, waved his fist hard and scored first away from home, so it was not a big problem to win the game!
Drogba was thrilled to score the goal, he had not scored in several rounds, and just now Iroh gave up his one-on-one chance to himself, and from here you can easily see Iro's support for him.
As the team's top center forward, when Chelsea faces strong teams, the task of scoring goals is always completed by Aillo, which also makes Drogba often criticized by the media, saying that he bullies the weak and fears the hard, only knows how to score goals on the weak team, and still relies on Iroh at critical times.
But now that he has scored a goal, then it means that the rumors of bullying the soft and afraid of the hard will not be broken.
Therefore, Drogba was very excited, turned around and pointed at Iro, who was passing the ball.
Iello laughed and jumped on top of Drogba, then punched the Liverpool fans in the stands to show his strength.
There were no surprises, and they were greeted with boos.
But for Chelsea, who are at the forefront, there are only three words – and they are all in between.
Mascherano was the one to blame for the goal, so watching the Chelsea players celebrate like crazy, he was already full of confidence and began to wonder if he could challenge the number one player in the game today......
※※※
Chelsea broke the deadlock before half-time, but the Liverpool fans in the stands were still hopeful about the team they were supporting, and "You Will Never Go Alone" filled the stands at Anfield Stadium for three days.
"I have to say that Liverpool fans are some of the most loyal fans in the world, and they use their singing to lead the team on the right track when the team loses its goal!" Zhan Jun, as a former Liverpool fan, once again heard the singing from the stands at Anfield Stadium and sighed.
With captain Steven Gerrard's long-range shot narrowly missed, referee Riley blew the whistle for the end of the first half.
In the second half, Benitez stood on the field with a stern face and watched the team's performance, while Mourinho calmly sat on the coach's seat with Erlang's legs crossed.
The on-site director gave the camera to the two people one after another.
"From this lens, you can easily see the current situation of the two sides of the game, Mourinho's calmness and Benitez's sorrow, just like Liverpool, who took the lead in the second half, wanted to use a way to equalize the score on the field, and Chelsea's defensive system is very solid, there is no need to deliberately defend at all, as long as you play normally, the problem can be easily solved......"
Chelsea TV commentator Clive Walker said lightly.
In fact, the same is true on the field.
Chelsea with Iroh is like having a nuclear weapon, and even if he is not directly involved in the attack, he will limit Liverpool's defence locally.
Liverpool, on the other hand, don't have that talent, and Torres prefers the top scorer of the last shot, rather than a player like Iello who can solve the entire backline on his own ability.
Gerrard also has the ability to kill the game, but he has been limited by his international team-mate Frank Lampard and struggled to get a long-range shot.
They are very familiar with each other and can be said to ...... The two limit each other.
As the core of Liverpool's attack, Gerrard was limited, which was a great help for Liverpool's attacking progress.
But Chelsea are different, as long as they get the ball to the feet of Elloh, then the attack is a threat, and getting the ball anywhere can make Liverpool's backline feel shaky.
As a result, in the fifteenth minute of the second half, Chelsea doubled their lead away from home.
Gerrard made a fatal mistake and the ball to Torres was sent to Terry, who was not stunned and quickly handed the ball to Ballack.
Ballack made a direct long pass to Iro, who pulled out the gap, and Mascherano, who was defending him, had already been thrown nine streets away.
Arlo dribbled the ball to 30 metres from goal and Carragher had to use a foul on the front in order to avoid another one-on-one situation, which led to his second yellow card of the game and being sent off, as well as gifting Chelsea a well-placed free-kick.
"At the beginning of the year, the snow shot the white deer, and today's Anfield broke the Red Army! Pretty!!! ”
At the moment of the goal, Zhan Jun shouted.
Iroh didn't waste the free-kick opportunity to find the back of the net for Reina.
It was also his seventh direct free-kick of the season.
Benitez subconsciously shook his head standing on the field, if there is still a chance to fall behind the previous goal, then the current two-goal deficit means that there is no chance, as a sworn enemy, he knows Mourinho's coaching style quite well, and he will definitely strengthen the team's defense in the case of a two-goal lead, and will not leave himself any chance.
Really!
Five minutes later, Chelsea made a personnel change, bringing on Essien and Mikel to replace Luka Modric and Malouda, and then pushing Iello into a second forward position to ensure that there would be no problems switching between the attacking and defensive ends.
'Mourinho's substitution is a very clear signal to keep the advantage of these two goals until the end of the game. BBC commentator Lineker nodded: "It's understandable to make such an adjustment with a two-goal lead on the road, after all, winning the game at the lowest cost is king." ”
Seeing this substitution, Benitez already knew that he didn't have any chances.
Chelsea's midfield four are all muscular, with the exception of Steven Gerrard, Xavi Alonso and Mascherano are completely underwhelmed.
In addition, Chelsea's lineup is not a pure defensive formation, but an anti-counter-attacking formation that compresses the counterattack to the extreme, so Liverpool does not dare to press it with all its might, and the home team knows too much about Elo's personal ability.
As long as Iello is present, it is equivalent to a sharp knife stuck in Liverpool's heart, so that they do not dare to act rashly.
In the end, Chelsea beat the home team Liverpool 2-0 away to make it six wins in a row from 2007-2008 to 2008-2009! Once again, a new history of the two teams playing each other will be refreshed.
……
The next day, the Liverpool Echo broke the news that the Liverpool hierarchy had given Benitez an ultimatum.
With the gap between the league and Chelsea at the top of the table already widened to 13 points, the club meant to shift their focus to European competitions, meaning that Benitez would be sacked if he failed to win the Champions League this season.
However, these are not Elo's concerns, he is concerned about the World Cup qualifiers in Yokohama, Japan, ten days later.
The previous Chinese national team may not be as good as the Japanese national team, but the current Chinese national team can completely wrestle the wrist.
Like the 2006 World Cup, the Australian team, which can also abuse the Japanese team, will be at a disadvantage in the face of the Chinese team, so many Chinese media pay special attention to this game, and they also have a feeling of raising their eyebrows when they see the increase in foreign players.
In the near future, we will have a head-to-head confrontation with the Japanese team, which is extremely important for every Chinese player!
At 3pm local time on the 7th, Chelsea hosted promoted Mahool City, and with one pass and two shots from Elloh, the team won 3-0 at home and secured the scoring lead at 11 points.
At 10 o'clock in the evening, Iroh took a direct flight from London to Tokyo, and then transferred to Yokohama to play the national team round in preparation for the World Cup qualifiers against Japan on the 12th.
Iroh still has a lot of feelings for the city of Yokohama, having won the Club World Cup at the Yokohama International Arena at the end of last year.
Other words...... This is a blessed land.
