Chapter 352: No Choice

Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea, wearing blue jerseys, launched a fierce attack on Liverpool, who wore red and white striped jerseys, even those who do not understand football can see that Chelsea's advantage is too great, they pressed through the half, they attacked around the Liverpool penalty area, and the football was always at their feet.

This is the form of both teams after Chelsea scored.

Chelsea pressed very high!

Perhaps even they didn't expect that after scoring a goal, their overall appearance is getting better and better, the front and back driven by the midfield, one by one exquisite coordination, accurate passing, and constant full-court pressing, so that Chelsea as a whole can always control the ball, and Liverpool can only defend passively under this pressure.

The formation is getting further and further back......

But Liverpool can't help it, every time they attack, they find a lot of holes in the back, Chelsea can easily get the ball back together, and then Liverpool will have to face a defensive crisis.

Time and time again, Liverpool have had to shrink their defence.

Although the head coach Benitez did not come forward, even though there was no one on the field to command, all the players consciously did it, which is also the best option, they know that the team is not able to resist at the moment, so they can only passively endure.

Even the most optimistic about Chelsea did not expect the game to turn out like this.

Chelsea played so well and the players on the pitch were so good that even the most pessimistic Chelsea fans didn't think the team was going to lose and they were going to score again. Again, it's just a matter of numbers, so how many goals will Chelsea win today? Many fans began to imagine.

"Liverpool have no power to fight back at all......"

"Look at their top scorers. Now I can only be in a daze in the front court......"

"Zhang may be in good shape, but his own performance is difficult to reverse Liverpool's overall disadvantage!"

Various media commented on the competition.

There are very few people who are optimistic about Liverpool, and even Liverpool's media commentators have become pessimistic, and the game is like this, with Chelsea leading and they are also holding Liverpool down on shape. Liverpool couldn't even hit a counter-attack, and Zhang Tiehan touched the ball once in five minutes in front.

The game was almost at the end of the first half.

At this time, Chelsea supporters were hoping that Chelsea would score another goal to confirm the absolute superiority of the scoreline. Then the win will be easy, and in the second half, the game will really be 'Chelsea win by a few goals'.

Chelsea supporters hope so.

They think the team will definitely win, and there is little suspense in such a game. No matter how you look at it. Chelsea have no reason to lose, so they are excited, and the media are thinking so, while Liverpool fans are just staring at the game, hoping for a miracle.

Will a miracle happen?

Looking at Liverpool on the pitch who could only defend passively, they were a little desperate.

While Chelsea are pressing hard, they are also looking out defensively, actually. Don't expect Chelsea to give up on defending, even if they're attacking. They also pay attention to defense in big attacks, especially Zhang Tiehan's defensive restrictions, and they spare no effort.

This was something that manager Jose Mourinho emphasised before the game.

Even if there is no Mourinho to emphasize, they have not only suffered a loss, Zhang Tiehan they are already very familiar with, although it is Chelsea's second team on the field, but eighty percent of the players have played against Zhang Tiehan, they naturally know Zhang Tiehan's dangerous Cheng dù.

Zhang Tiehan was very strictly restricted.

The strictest thing is the situation of the whole team, very bad, they were suppressed by Chelsea very badly, Zhang Tiehan has been staying in the front court and waiting for the opportunity, but the team has played several attacks in a row and can't even pass the midfield, seeing that the time is passing a little bit, Zhang Tiehan can't wait.

He took the initiative to retreat.

It's a terrible choice, and dropping back means he's playing deeper, so Chelsea's defence is better, and he's a lot less of a threat to Chelsea, after all, when he gets the ball, he's still far from the Chelsea goal, and he's still Liverpool's top player. But this is also the only option, the first half has entered the stoppage time, and if Zhang Tiehan does not retreat, he will have to stay in the front court until the end of the game, which is equivalent to not having a chance at all.

Zhang Tiehan will not do that, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will work hard.

Finding opportunities and cherishing opportunities is his approach.

If you want to score in such a passive situation, you must do this, there is a small opportunity to seize, for the current Zhang Tiehan, it can be regarded as an opportunity to get the ball.

Seeing that the first half was about to end, Zhang Tiehan was a little anxious.

However, this time Liverpool finished defending, Finnan got the ball, Gudjohnsen used to try to grab the ball, Finnan passed the ball to Hamann in front of him.

Harman is a thirty-three-year-old veteran.

What is rare is that he is a German player, played for Bayern Munich when he was younger, moved to the Premier League after becoming famous, and came to Liverpool after a year at Newcastle, this is his sixth season with Liverpool, despite his age, Hamann's appearance is still very stable, he is the most played by Liverpool's non-main player, Hamann made 25 appearances for Liverpool last season and scored two goals, and so far this season, Hamann has also made thirteen appearances and scored a goal.

Harman's greatest characteristic is his stability, and he has been doing so throughout his career.

This may have something to do with the German's rigorous character, he doesn't rush forward, he doesn't rush too much when he has the opportunity, he always maintains a steady mentality, when he receives a pass from Finnan this time, in the face of Chelsea midfielder Thiago's close counter-attack, he immediately swept the ball to the left and then took the ball forward and threw Thiago straight away.

'Hamann dribbled past Thiago'......'

Although it is in the team's backfield, this is also a rare excitement for Liverpool in recent times.

Hamann didn't continue with the ball after beating Thiago. He saw Zhang Tiehan for the first time, and then pushed the ball over.

"Liverpool's counterattack!" The Liverpool commentator is also looking forward to it.

But the counterattack was not easy to play, and Zhang Tiehan got the ball near the center circle. He was running forward, and next to him was Claude Makellele, who had three other players in the Chelsea half, and when Liverpool grabbed the ball, they were the first to retreat, and now they can all come to stop Zhang Tiehan from advancing.

Zhang Tiehan struggled forward to dribble the ball.

Makelle did everything he could to get ahead. constantly interfered with Zhang Tiehan with his body, not letting him accelerate calmly, and not letting him dribble the ball safely. Maybe Makelele didn't even think about grabbing the ball, his idea was to interfere with Zhang Tiehan.

Zhang Tiehan was annoyed.

The distractions were noticeable, and he couldn't use his speed to shake off Makelle, while Hut ran over on the right. Except for the Hut. The other two defenders, Pacos Ferreira and Gallas, also pressed in from the front.

Zhang Tiehan had to face the defense of four players on the left and right.

This...... There is not the slightest gap.

This scene happened in the front of Chelsea, even the Liverpool commentators were silent, one player facing the defense of four players, no matter what, Ronaldo can't do it, Maradona can't do it, it is estimated that even God can't do it...... Zhang Tiehan? Who can expect a player who plays with his body. Can one person pass four people?

Anyway, the Liverpool commentator doesn't count on it, "Zhang is in danger!" He shouted.

The Liverpool fans all held their breath.

Others, including the media and the Chelsea fans, were relaxed. Although Zhang Tiehan is very dangerous to dribble the ball, it is impossible for one person to go over and score the ball in the face of the defense of four people, and it is already very good for him to be able to protect the ball.

Surrounded by all sides, Zhang Tiehan faced a desperate situation from which there was no way to retreat......

He was still dribbling forward, he could only use his speed to keep Makelele from a chance to steal, but he had to face Hut, face Gallas and Ferreira, surrounded by four people, just like everyone else, Zhang Tiehan couldn't pass four people at all, in fact, it was very difficult to get rid of Makelele.

But what he was immediately faced with was the closing of the door of four people.

He had no choice......

Zhang Tiehan also knew that he had no choice, so he swept the direction of the goal with the corner of his eye in the fast run, and immediately raised his right foot high, and in the surprise of many, many people, his right foot was directly pumped behind the football.

"Bang!"

A powerful shot from 30 meters away!

The football went straight to the goal.

……

This is not the first time Cech has faced Zhang Tiehan, in fact he is one of the goalkeepers who has faced Zhang Tiehan the most times of any football goalkeeper in the entire world.

Last season, when Zhang Tiehan was at Wigan Athletic, he faced it, when Zhang Tiehan was still a little immature, and he didn't take Zhang Tiehan in his eyes, but Zhang Tiehan scored three goals.

He remembers that time for the first time in his life that a League One striker scored three goals against him.

Zhang Tiehan was in Rome last season, Chelsea and Roma had little intersection, he 'settled' for a season, and this season, before the game with Liverpool, Zhang Tiehan scored three more goals, and then the Champions League group stage match, that time Chelsea played a draw, and Cech was also glad that his goal was defended.

Now he has to face Zhang Tiehan again.

When Zhang Tiehan scored the first goal just now, Cech had already gritted his teeth and made up his mind that Zhang Tiehan must not be allowed to score again, otherwise he faced Zhang Tiehan four times, and he had already scored seven goals, and then scored the eighth, which is equivalent to two goals in a game, which is really not a good thing, and it is estimated that Zhang Tiehan will become a shadow in his heart in the future.

Cech made up his mind, but when it came to the ball, he was still in a hurry.

The ball rushes straight to the goal from 30 meters away. Cech has been concentrating, in fact every time Zhang Tiehan gets the ball, he does it, he sees Zhang Tiehan raise his foot, when everyone is surprised, he is ready to face the shot, but the angle of the football is too tricky...... The ball hurtles into the top left corner of the goal.

It's very difficult to pounce on that position!

Petr Cech jumped up on his feet as soon as he finished his judgment, he jumped up on his back, but the ball still flew in front of his fingers, and at that moment Cech turned his head, hoping that the ball was flying out of bounds, but after the ball was traveling, he saw the left post.

Goal, scored! (To be continued......)
