Chapter 932 - The first crown of the 0708 season

Chelsea and Liverpool are close in strength, although after Chen Yu's goal, Chelsea made a fierce attack, but for a time where could break through the defense of Liverpool, who had already been prepared, in the last ten minutes, Chelsea had the upper hand, but was not able to score, and in the end Chelsea could only accept the situation of 0:1 behind.

After the break, Liverpool did not move, and Chelsea made substitution adjustments, and Mourinho was very dissatisfied with the attacking power of his forward line, he replaced Wright Jr., replaced midfielder Joe Cole, changed the original 433 formation, strengthened the control in the midfield, and was ready to use Joe Cole's delicate skills to create attacking opportunities.

Liverpool and Chelsea have not played each other once or twice, Benitez knows Mourinho's ideas very well, he knows that Mourinho has to attack, to change the formation, and his approach is to respond to all changes, continue to strengthen the defense, and wait for opportunities to counterattack. With a counter-attacking ace like Chen Yu, Benitez is not at all afraid of the onslaught of any opponent.

In the first half, Chelsea played on both sides, hoping to use Drogba's power to solve the problem, in the Premier League, the power of the monster is often the most effective way for Chelsea to solve the problem, but in the face of Liverpool, which is also prominent, Chelsea's winger tactics did not work, in the second half Chelsea hoped to combine the side and the middle, but Essien, Mikel, Lampard, Joe Cole composed of midfield control ability is not so strong, except for Joe Cole, the breakthrough ability of others is also average, in the face of Liverpool's fierce and active pressing, It's not easy for Chelsea's midfielders to keep the ball in check, let alone create attacking chances.

Liverpool have never suffered against Chelsea in cup competitions, and their counter-attacking tactics have been applied handily, and when Chelsea tried to control the midfield, Liverpool used a couple of counter-attacks to almost break the door again.

Fifteen minutes into the second half, the morale of the Chelsea and Liverpool players was turned upside down, with the Chelsea players starting to become impatient and fearful, and the shadow of previous cup defeats came back to make them less confident about the game, while the Liverpool players became more confident and comfortable defending and counter-attacking.

The Liverpool players had the upper hand on the field, and the Liverpool fans in the stands were also very excited, they sang Liverpool's team song "You Will Never Walk Alone", and the loud singing almost turned Wembley Stadium into their own Anfield.

The Chelsea fans were the silent side, unwilling to lose to Liverpool, but their players were too poor and the second half was the time they had to recover quickly, but fifteen minutes later, they were unable to create a good shot on goal, much to the disappointment of the Chelsea fans.

Jose Mourinho certainly can't let the game go on like this, and if it continues like this, Chelsea will almost certainly be suffocated by Liverpool again.

Mourinho waited another five minutes to see that the game was still not improving, and Mourinho made another substitution, this time directly replacing central defender Carvalho and replacing Peruvian striker Pizarro, in a pure attacking formation of 343.

Seeing Mourinho so bold, Lineker, the commentator at the scene, couldn't help but say: "Mourinho is a bit big this time, he may have forgotten who his opponent is?" I also forgot how many goals Chen Yu scored last season, and now there is only one central defender in Terry, once Liverpool fights back, who can stop Chen Yu? ”

Lineker has a point, but Chelsea have already been smothered by Liverpool several times in cup competitions, and this time is the less important Community Shield, and Mourinho will certainly have to try to change his style of play in preparation for another cup encounter.

Although Chelsea has now sent almost six attacking players, and the two full-backs are also boldly inserting the attack, Liverpool is still not in a hurry, the midfield is actively scrambling, and the two full-backs are not letting go of the pass, forcing Chelsea to attack under their normal defense, and once the striker gets the ball, he will immediately launch a fast attack, even if it is one or two players, he will also resolutely play fast, and strive to attack before the Chelsea players return to defend.

In the case of the difference in the strength of the players on both sides, Chelsea sent so many attacking players, and the chances of shooting were created, but under Liverpool's tight defense, most of these shots were long-range shots that did not pose much threat and shots under the backs, which were all defused by Liverpool's goalkeeper Reina.

Ten minutes passed without a hitch, and the 30th minute of the second half was a dangerous time for Chelsea, who are now starting to lose fitness and if they can't equalise in the shortest possible time, the initiative is entirely in Liverpool's hands.

Even if he is as cold-blooded as Mourinho, he can't keep calm at this time, when the Liverpool players slowly moved to the sidelines to send a throw-in, Mourinho protested to the fourth official and the referee, asking for a yellow card for the player who sent the throw-in, the referee ignored Mourinho's request, which made Mourinho even more angry, he yelled at the referee and was shown a yellow card warning by the referee.

Jose Mourinho's performance also had a bad indication for Chelsea's players, and Chelsea launched a more aggressive attack under John Terry and Frank Lampard, which gave Liverpool more opportunities to counter-attack.

In the 35th minute, Chelsea laid siege to Liverpool's penalty area three times but failed to score, and after Lampard forced a shot, the ball bounced off the defender and bounced at the feet of Liverpool midfielder Marcos Alonso, who was at the heart of Liverpool's transition to attack and defence.

Alonso's pass with the ball gave Liverpool's other attacking players enough time to react, Chen Yu and Gerrard quickly stepped forward and ran at high speed towards Chelsea's half, and together with Kuyt, who was holding the ball forward, it was like three arrows pointing directly at Chelsea's penalty area.

At this moment, Chelsea's central Terry is still there, Essien is also there, Mikel is quickly chasing back, at this time, Chen Yu did not go straight through the middle, but ran diagonally to the side, leaving the middle to Gerrard.

Kuyt, who was also on the other wing, understood it and crossed the ball to Steven Gerrard and crossed the halfway line along the other wing at high speed, heading straight for the Chelsea box.

At this moment, Liverpool has formed a 3-on-3 situation in Chelsea's backfield, but Chelsea is in a passive defense, and all three of them are running desperately, and they can't get stuck in a single position, so they can only be beaten passively. Gerrard received the ball in the middle and continued to cut forward, so that Terry had no time to care, and Essien also had to pay part of his attention, after pushing the ball through the center circle for almost ten meters, to see that Terry and Essien had the intention of wrapping themselves, Gerrard passed the ball over the top in the middle distance, passed the ball to Chen Yu, and continued to insert himself into the middle.

The ball was in the hands of Chen Yu, Essien and Terry were nervous, Essing immediately ran to the side to intercept, Terry in addition to following Gerrard, a lot of energy was focused on Chen Yu, obviously, the Chelsea captain was not worried that Essien would intercept Chen Yu alone.

However, Chen Yu, who already had a goal in hand, did not love to fight, nor did he have personal heroism, and when Essien was still a little distance away from him, Chen Yu's long pass found Kuyt, who was unguarded.

Kuyt chested the ball forward and slotted to the edge of the box, where Kuyt got up and slotted home when Terry's lateral defence was still in place and goalkeeper Petr Cech was on the move.

Kuyt's shot was well timed, Terry couldn't reach the whip and Cech was too close to react, and the ball flew right under Petr's ribs into the far corner.

2:0

Kuyt's goal was unusually excited, although it was only a Community Shield goal, but it was Chelsea, in the Premier League, it was not easy to score Chelsea's goal, Kuyt opened his arms and flew to the stands to receive the cheers of the same reveling Liverpool fans.

Scoring such a goal at this time is fatal for Chelsea, at the moment when the ball goes into the net, Chelsea fans sit in their seats in despair, some keep shaking their heads, some sigh repeatedly, some are silent, and some get up and walk directly to the field, not wanting to look at the smug faces of the Liverpudlians behind them.

“…… goalgoalgoalgoal…… Kuyt! Kuyt killed the game, in the 75th minute, Kuyt received a pass from Chen Yu, and he shot decisively! Broke down Petr's 10-finger barrier and rewrote the score to 2:0...... Now that the suspense of the game has been lost, as long as no big miracle happens, the Liverpudlians will win this season's Community Shield in fifteen minutes......

Although the words of the commentator at the scene have been drowned in the cheers of Liverpool fans, the word champion seems to resonate, and then Liverpool fans stood up and shouted the championship at the stadium, and the sound shook the sky, turning the entire Wembley Stadium into a red sky.

Benitez smiled and shook his fist at him, then turned to shake hands with the coaching staff and the substitutes to celebrate Kuyt's goal.

Mourinho looked at the Liverpool fans celebrating wildly on the pitch and in the stands, his face was blank, and after spitting fiercely, he turned back to the coach's box, sitting in the shadows, motionless.

When the strength of the two teams is equal, after one team leads by two goals, the other team is very unlikely to turn the tables, unless the leading team makes a mistake, but Liverpool and Chelsea have played so many times, and they know Chelsea well, how could they make such a low-level mistake, in the next ten minutes, Liverpool defended more tightly, and did not give Chelsea a chance at all, and in the end Chelsea only used a penalty in stoppage time to save a little face, but it was not able to turn the tide, One can only watch as the Liverpudlians win the first title of the 07-08 season in front of them.
