When Liverpool's starting team entered the dressing room, none of them dared to raise their heads, especially the centre-back duo of Carragher and Ager, who made a fatal mistake.

The first goal conceded was directly related to Carragher because he was on the top ...... The second goal conceded was directly related to Agger, because his recklessness not only did not stop Iro, but knocked his teammate Mascherano to the ground, a typical 'mole'!

Rafael Benitez is not a domineering manager like Alex Ferguson, so even if the team falls behind by one goal at home in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, there will be no 'hair dryer' situation, and more often than not, as the outside world has given him the nickname 'Rushuai', he is suave.

However, it is his non-obsessive personality that does not give the most direct help in the first place when the team's morale is low, so the home team's dressing room looks dead.

……

On the contrary, the atmosphere in the visiting dressing room was quite impressive, with teammates hugging and encouraging Elo, the best player of the half of the game.

When the team was down by one goal, it was all thanks to Iroh's individual play to overtake the score on the field.

When it comes to key games such as the Champions League semi-finals, any valuable away goal will become a crucial save, and Iroh has directly contributed two goals to help the team overtake the score, if the game ends with this scoreline, then the second leg of the Champions League semi-final will be absolutely active when returning to home in the middle of next week, and a draw at home can advance to the final, or a 0:1 loss is also acceptable.

This will have an indelible effect on Chelsea's historic Champions League final!

"Ai!"

When Mourinho entered the dressing room, the first name he called was Elo.

Everyone consciously turned their heads to look at the biggest contributor to the evening.

"I won't praise you for now, because the game isn't over yet!"

Mourinho's eyes were vicious, and he could see at a glance that many players in the team had begun to celebrate the game in advance, you must know that this situation can be very dangerous in the middle of the game, and Liverpool has always been a very tenacious team, the 2004-2005 UEFA Champions League final can be recovered from three goals behind at half-time, let alone just one goal?

So you have to pour cold water on the players at this time.

Iroh nodded sternly.

Sure enough, after Mourinho finished speaking, the smiling players immediately reacted.

It's really not the time to rejoice in advance, the game is not completely over, which means that the game is still in suspense.

Everyone then turned to Mourinho, and if nothing else, he should have the latest tactical plan.

"In the first ten minutes of the second half, you have to defend solidly, except for Ai who is cruising around the halfway line, all the players have to stick to their defensive positions...... Mourinho then turned to look at captain John Terry, "John, you are the captain and the leader of the defence, you need to remind your teammates of the defensive ...... Don't let the other side take advantage of it, especially pay attention to Torres! ”

Terry nodded sternly at Mourinho.

If you want to be the most successful captain in Chelsea's history, Liverpool, Chelsea's obstacle to this season's Champions League final, will have to be eliminated, and the best way to do them is to keep the goals scored by the players up front!

Mourinho then made a small tweaking to the team's overall tactics, moving Ellor to the centre-forward position and Didier Drogba to the flanks to assist full-back Ashley Cole, without changing his defensive totality.

※※※

Fifteen minutes of half-time flashed as the home and away players returned to Anfield from their dressing rooms.

"Huh? Look...... The mental outlook of the home team Liverpool players is very good! It was very different from the end of the first half, perhaps...... The second half will be more than we imagined...... "The local Liverpool commentator enthused.

In their minds, the great Liverpool should show what a mature team should show - for example: quickly adjust their mentality and forget about the score that fell behind in the first half!

Only in this way can the second half of the game be restarted and the best form table can be released!

The Liverpool players who had just stepped onto the pitch cheered each other on, and captain Steven Gerrard kept clapping his hands, signaling his teammates to be more passionate.

Liverpool fans who saw this scene continued to add a touch of momentum to the team anthem "You will never walk alone", and the entire Anfield stadium was their voice.

Mourinho, who sat back in the away team's dugout, felt a faint sense of unease because of Liverpool's momentum...... It seems to be up again, which is not a good sign!

※※※

The second half of the game was announced with a whistle from the referee.

The shape of the game was indeed according to what Mourinho said at halftime, Liverpool began to put pressure on the Chelsea half in the first second of the second half, but fortunately he predicted accurately, except for Iello cruising in the center circle arc, the other players were compressed into the area of about 35 meters on their own side, compressing Liverpool's advancing space as much as possible.

This made Benitez frown......

Chelsea's posture is all about running for the hell, damn the bus driver!

Benitez could only helplessly curse Mourinho in the home team's command area.

The first ten minutes of the second half were spent in Liverpool's attack.

Of course, Chelsea also played a couple of quick counter-attacks in those 10 minutes, but the effect was not obvious.

Because the goal of Chelsea's counterattack is too obvious, Liverpool's defenders as long as they don't care about anything in the process of Chelsea's transition from defense to attack, they send two players to stick to Ielloh, even though he is very fast and technical, he can't help the opponent's pinching, especially the Premier League-level physical confrontation, which is a bit unbearable.

So for 10 minutes in the second half, Chelsea were too tired to organise their attacks.

※※※

"Gotta score go again!" Once again, Iroh was stuck behind by Mascherano and Carragher's shut-off defenses, and he clenched his fists and muttered to himself.

But then again, how do you look for opportunities?

Now Liverpool's attack is very pressed, but the position is very good, Xavi Alonso, who has a certain defensive ability, stands on the Chelsea defense line about 35 meters to divide the ball, and does not come forward at all, the front attack is given to Gerrard, Babbel, Kuyt and Torres, and occasionally two full-backs come forward to join in the fun.

However, the good thing is that Chelsea's defensive system is very solid, plus the three central midfielders are all able to attack and defend, and the body is very strong, there is no problem in defense, but the attack is not timeless.

Mourinho, who was standing on the sidelines, also realised that it was time for a substitution.

Five minutes later, Chelsea made the first substitution, but surprisingly, it was not a defensive substitution for the attacking player, but a change in the front line, with the more scoring Anelka replacing the more aggressive Malouda defensively.

This substitution adjustment has also caused a lot of speculation.

"Mourinho's substitution is really hard to figure out, and the replacement of French winger Malouda, who is relatively lazy in defense but has a stronger attacking ability, with Anelka, who is relatively active in defense, is ...... I have to say that his substitution idea is very bold! ”

Huang Jianxiang explained.

"Incredible! Mourinho actually replaced the defensive Malouda with Anelka, who had stronger offensive ability, and made a bold substitution! ”

"This substitution can be said to be a rare bold act in Mourinho's coaching career, I have to say...... Like one! ”

……

If Mourinho had heard the compliments of the commentator in the studio, he would have held his head high and said, "Cut, sample!" When you have a nuclear weapon, then you will be like me, boldly change the team lineup! ”

With Anelka's play, Chelsea has one more fulcrum for counter-attacking, and while counter-attacking and no longer relying on Iello alone, Chelsea's attack no longer relies on quick counter-attacks.

The subsequent games were all advanced layer by layer, and Liverpool launched a back-and-forth attack, which made the fans in the stands excited.

Benitez was a little overwhelmed by the change, and according to his thinking, Liverpool had already equalised the score by this time, and then made substitutions to make adjustments to overtake the score and extend the advantage......

Why is the plot wrong?

As the game went on and on, Liverpool's full-back Babel was less fit, and Benitez had to choose to make a substitution, replacing Babel with Israeli Benayoun to continue the pressure on Chelsea from the wing.

The increase in offensive opportunities, the opportunities for Ailo to get the ball have also become more, Mascherano alone has been unable to stop Ailo's breakthrough, Liverpool defense is more often Mascherano plus a fullback to help defend, but the problem is that such a defense will make the space on the side leak out, that is to say, Liverpool's goal will be urgent!

Because Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka are the kind of players who are very good at grabbing points, if you let a good pass from the wing, the chances of scoring will be very high.

Liverpool have conceded two goals at home so far, and if they concede any more of them, it would be the end of the world......

It's just that during this time, whether it is Drogba or Anelka, the wind seems to be very bad and cannot evolve opportunities into goals.

So...... Iroh has decided to step up again!

In the 76th minute, Chelsea broke the ball from the back and then the ball carrier Ballack advanced in layers before crossing the halfway line before encountering the first disruptor – Fernando Torres.

Facing the striker's player, Ballack directly turned the ball past Torres with a 360-degree smash on the spot, and then passed the ball directly to Iello who pulled it to the left rib, who accelerated the attack, and then said hello to Lampard and stepped forward to participate in the direct attack.

Before Ilo could turn around with the ball, Mascherano and Arberoa came in between left and right, so he had to choose to pass the ball back to Ballack, who was inserted.
