Chapter 721: Ordered in Danger

Seeing Chen Yu so brave, the most unhappy and depressed person was Drogba.

Thierry Henry's injury shortly after the start of the season can be said to have given strikers such as Drogba, Wayne Rooney, Crouch and Darren Bent the opportunity to compete for the top scorer. In the previous three seasons, the top scorer was Henry, which is not to say that Henry is a notch stronger than Drogba, Rooney and other forwards, mainly because Arsenal plays offensive football, and it is a typical technical flow, the team's support for strikers is greater, Henry is not only comprehensive in technology, but also has a strong ability to seize opportunities, relatively speaking, Drogba and Rooney are a little rougher, and the two have to take on a lot of defensive tasks, and it is not too unusual to be suppressed by Henry for three consecutive years.

But as long as it is a striker, no one does not want to get the top scorer, even if Drogba wins the team for two consecutive seasons and wins the league championship, he also hopes to go to the next level in personal honor, like the kind of stars who say that the team's victory is the most important, and it doesn't matter if I score or not, in fact, the top scorer is tired of it, and the strikers who have not won the top scorer want to score their own goals and the team wins.

Drogba wants to take the top scorer is an indisputable fact, not long after Henry's injury, Drogba said that he hopes Chelsea to win the championship, and his own personal wish is to be able to get the top scorer of the season, at that time Chen Yu has not returned, Drogba obviously did not regard this invincible striker in Serie A as an opponent, even if Chen Yu came back, continuous goals, Drogba did not have any alarm about Chen Yu, after all, he has scored 12 goals in the middle of the league, according to this goal efficiency, He was able to score 245 goals at the end of the season, and in the last 10 seasons, the top scorer scored the most goals in Thierry Henry and Ruud van Nistelrooy's 30, the least was Owen's 18, and the rest of the seasons were about 245, which means that as long as Drogba continues to play like this, he will be able to get the top scorer without accidents.

However, soon the unexpected happened, Chen Yu scored goals every game after his comeback, and it was jaw-dropping that he surpassed Xiao Xiaoluo after 10 rounds and tied Drogba. The battle for the league's top scorer has a suspense, and even Chen Yu's fans feel that there is no suspense, and Chen Yu will definitely surpass Drogba.

It can be said that in the Premier League, Drogba is only afraid of Henry in the competition for the top scorer, like the second-ranked Xiao Luo does not put it in his heart, after all, in the Premier League's 15 years of top scorer rankings, the midfielder has never exceeded the third, and it is difficult for Xiao Xiao Luo to break this record, and now, not only Drogba's opponent is coming, even if there is no injury, Henry is not likely to catch up with Chen Yu's goal efficiency.

Drogba is very hungry for goals, and he has to grab almost every ball up front, often returning to central midfield, actively helping Chelsea fight for the ball, because they only have a chance to score if they have the ball in hand.

But Liverpool's defense today is very good, Finnan, Agger, Carragher, Lise, these four are very strong, with excellent heading ability, in front of these four defenders there are Sissoko, Alonso and Gerrard, these three midfielders have a huge range of activities, covering almost half of the field, and they are still very hard, in the face of such a tough and tight defense, it is very difficult for Chelsea to create a chance to score.

In the 28th minute, Chelsea launched another wave of onslaught, after Robben went down, this time Chelsea's left side finally cooperated, Mikel, Wright Jr. and Ashley Cole formed a chemical reaction, the shortcomings of the three quickly penetrated Liverpool's right side of the defense, Ashley Cole passed the ball to the penalty area on the bottom line.

Didier Drogba, Ballack and Frank Lampard all rushed to the Liverpool penalty area for headers, with Liverpool's midfielders following up to mark and share the pressure on their centre-backs.

The strong Drogba was sandwiched by Carragher and Alonso, but because Drogba rushed into the penalty area and jumped up with a header, he jumped very high, and Alonso was suppressed by Drogba and did not jump, although Drogba did not hit the ball under Carragher's interference, and the ball flew out of the bottom line, but Alonso was pushed to the chin by Drogba's knee, and immediately bled profusely.

The referee quickly asked the team doctor to come on the pitch and deal with Alonso.

Liverpool's players also angrily accused Drogba of moving too much and putting pressure on the referee and Chelsea players.

The Chelsea players were more than 20 minutes behind, and they were even more angry than Liverpool, and the two sides quickly quarreled, with some players even starting to push, but referee Bol was very experienced, and he immediately used two yellow cards to stabilize the Chelsea and Liverpool players.

Bol is very experienced and flexible, although he used the yellow card to control the players' feelings, but the two yellow cards were given to Drogba and Crouch, both of whom are strikers, even if they receive a yellow card, it will not affect their performance, if the yellow card is given to the defender, this will weaken the strength of the player in a certain way.

Bol's old way drew praise from the on-site commentators, "...... There were a lot of players in the conflict, and Bol selectively gave them yellow cards, which is where his wisdom and experience lie, not only controlling the players, but also allowing the balanced development of the game, and being able to enforce two consecutive World Cups is really high. ”

Alonso was out for treatment, Benitez was nervous, he quickly let the new recruit Mascherano go out to warm up, before the game, Benitez was not ready to let the newly transferred Mascherano play, put him on the bench just to let him feel the atmosphere, did not expect to use him now.

Marcos Alonso is injured and Liverpool are not on the pitch for the time being, so Liverpool are playing with 10 men, which is a great opportunity for Chelsea.

Alonso's position in Liverpool is not trivial, he is the only playmaker in Liverpool's midfield, he is also the best player at long passes when Liverpool launches a counterattack, he inserts the attack when the distance is farther than Gerrard, he is also one of the core of the defense, it can be said that except for the occasional magical long-range shot to make people notice him, usually Alonso is not obvious, but without Alonso will be chaotic.

In the 29th minute of the game, Frank Lampard dribbled into Liverpool's 30-metre area in midfield, and by the time Gerrard came to block, it was too late, Lampard went straight to the Liverpool defender to find his winger Kalou, who cut in at high speed and took the ball in the ribs of the penalty area.

Easily passed by Chelsea in the box. There was confusion at the back of Liverpool, Agger couldn't keep up with Drogba, who met the ball and shot at it, but the Ivorian pushed too hard and the ball flew off the post.

Seeing Drogba miss this good opportunity, Mourinho stomped his feet again and again, he will hate his love for iron and steel, of course, this is mainly because of Chen Yu's presence, compared with Chen Yu, who is extremely efficient, Drogba's ability to grasp the opportunity is too rough.

The Liverpool goalkeeper kicked the ball out of goal to find Crouch, who was stared at this time, he couldn't grab the point, and the ball was picked up by goalkeeper Cech.

Chelsea launched an onslaught from the middle again, without Alonso, Ballack was also active, he and Lampard two sandwiched Gerrard, the advantage of the crowd was shown, Gerrard took care of the other, can only be the central defender to make up the defense, and this gives Chelsea's strikers a chance, you must know that Chelsea also has three players on the front line, two wingers cut inside, Liverpool's defense will be messed up.

In the 32nd minute of the game, Ballack and Lampard passed Gerrard with a header in the middle, Sissoko came to help defend, but was knocked down by Ballack, the German passed the ball diagonally to Drogba, Drogba defended with his back to his Carragher and stopped the ball back, and Lampard followed up with a long-range shot.

Frank Lampard's long-range shot was powerful and tricky, and it flew straight into the top left corner of the goal, and Liverpool goalkeeper Reina did his best to not touch the ball, but the ball slammed off the post and bounced back.

Frank Lampard's shot scared the Liverpool fans almost in unison, and it was only when they hit the post that the heart that hung in their throats was lowered.

“…… Chelsea's luck is just too bad! Or rather, their mentality is indeed a little too hasty. ”

The on-site commentator commented.

Benitez is anxious at the moment, the opponent's morale is like a rainbow, and he can equalize at any time, but Alonso's eyes are swollen, his lips are bleeding, and he still can't play for almost four minutes, but if he lets Mascherano play, it's too risky, and the Argentine, who arrived in Liverpool yesterday, may not be able to cooperate with his teammates at all, after all, Mascherano's position is a midfielder, a tandem midfielder, and a person who controls the rhythm is not a striker, and can work alone.

Benitez hesitated, but he soon found that Chen Yu retreated to the backfield, which was Alonso's position, and did Alonso's job, and what caught his eye was that Chen Yu's defense and organization were no less than Alonso's, and the speed was much faster, compared with Chen Yu, Alonso was like an old cow pulling a broken car.

Originally, Benitez had decided to let Mascherano play, after all, he couldn't have one less person for a long time, but seeing that Chen Yu's appearance in the back waist was so eye-catching, Benitez decided to let Mascherano run again, for newcomers, it is not bad to run more to warm up, at least it is much warmer than on the bench.

"What the hell!" Benitez laughed and cursed, but seeing that Liverpool's midfield had become more orderly and did not seem to see that there was one person missing, his mood was much better. I thought to myself, if Chen Yu can continue to play, he will simply let Alonso treat his injury well and send a striker up, Kuyt and Bellamy, these are all good counter-attackers, sending Mascherano is really a bit too risky, such an important position, it is really impossible to give a newcomer who has just been here for two days, although Mascherano is very good.

After another three minutes, Alonso still did not get better, and Chen Yu still played steadily on the field, and even Gerrard handed it over to Chen Yu after receiving the ball, which shows the trust of Liverpool players in Chen Yu.

Benitez saw that he was completely relieved to hand over the midfield to Chen Yu, so he asked Mascherano to come back to rest and let Kuyt come on to replace Alonso.

Mascherano ran excitedly for six or seven minutes, not expecting to let striker Chen Yu ruin his debut at Anfield, the Argentine couldn't believe his eyes, but the fact is already like this, he, a newcomer, can only accept such a ridiculous farce.
