When he saw Zhang Tiehan score, Benitez looked helpless, Chelsea's forward combination is too strong, they can not prevent Drogba if they prevent Zhang Tiehan, and it is difficult to limit Zhang Tiehan if they prevent Drogba, although Liverpool has a good defense, but in the face of such a forward combination, there is still no good way to limit it.

The score has become 0:1, and Liverpool are temporarily one goal behind.

Liverpool fans at Anfield Stadium were also helpless to see Zhang Tiehan score, and some fans remembered the scene when Zhang Tiehan scored in this stadium last season, when they were the cheering side, but now they can only be silent.

The Blues fans in the stands were celebrating, but the Liverpool fans didn't have the heart to compete with them on the pitch.

They just hope that the current Liverpool can perform better, after all, Zhang Tiehan is already a member of Chelsea, and he was also sold by the club's hierarchy, even if they are dissatisfied, they can't change the facts, they just hope that Liverpool can perform better.

In the hope of Liverpool fans, the captain of the field, Steven Gerrard, organized the team's attack.

Gerrard is the soul of Liverpool, he is not only excellent in his personal skills, but more importantly, he loves him as the leader of the whole team and is the spiritual pillar, as long as there is Gerrard on the pitch, then Liverpool has a chance to win, this is the belief of every Liverpool person.

In the following game, Liverpool seemed to be completely unaffected by the goal.

They are still desperately defending, still trying to attack, but Chelsea is a little careless because of the goal, some players are still thinking about the goal just now, but the result is a little out of shape, as a result of the game another fifteen minutes, the fans' surprise to find that Liverpool actually has an advantage in the number of jù -

Liverpool have had 53 per cent possession and seven shots on goal so far. With two hits to the woodwork, those numbers were slightly higher than Chelsea's.

Judging from these numbers, Chelsea really don't have an advantage anymore.

This makes people see Liverpool's strong fighting spirit, they were not crushed by Zhang Tiehan's goal, and when they saw this kind of game scene, Liverpool fans looked forward to it again. This time it was Liverpool's attack again.

Alonso completed the breakthrough in the middle, and when he saw Zhang Tiehan retreating to defend, he immediately handed the ball to Gerrard, and smiled at Zhang Tiehan, with Alonso's understanding of Zhang Tiehan, he naturally would not face him directly with 1V1.

Gerrard got the ball and started organising the attack.

Carvalho pressed on, Gerrard was dribbling the ball, and his legs shook and he couldn't shake them off the first time. The result was only to pass the ball to Alonso, who would then play it to Gerrard, and this time there was a hole in Chelsea's defence, Gerrard was unguarded at this time, and he easily broke into the box.

Chelsea immediately became cautious.

John Terry met Gerrard and Carvalho, who retreated behind him, met so that Gerrard didn't have a shot angle, and he kicked the ball to Crouch.

Crouch joined Liverpool in the summer. He is the quintessential 'grassroots' player who has played in the lower leagues before. He made his debut with Tottenham Hotspur but did not play in any league before being loaned out to Swedish lower division club Heasley Holm in 2000.

A year later, Crouch moved to Queens Park Rangers in League One, making 42 league appearances and scoring 10 goals.

Since 2002, Crouch has been on a frequent transfer. He played for a number of lower Premier League clubs, including Portsmouth and Aston Villa. Crouch scored six goals in 37 games during his two seasons at Aston Villa, but the 2004 season began onwards. He was loaned out to League One club Norwich City FC, where he scored four goals in 15 league appearances.

After returning to Aston Villa, Crouch was sold to Southampton, where he played 27 league games and scored 12 goals for the club, but the fact that the helpless ball would be relegated to the Championship was played for a season at Aston Villa, where Crouch won the hearts of many teams with a table of 21 goals.

In the end, Liverpool, Liverpool signed Crouch for £7 million.

However, Crouch's previous table was not very good, he has been lacking since he joined, and was questioned that he was not worth 7 million, until the eleventh round of the league, in the home game against Wigan Athletic, Crouch scored his first goal to join Liverpool Football Club, and then Crouch began to score frequently, and now he has become the pillar of Liverpool's striker.

Now he received a pass from Gerrard, and there was an experienced Carvalho in front of him, but Crouch still barely protected the ball, suddenly turned around, handed the ball to Alonso, who was following him, and ran towards the goal, Alonso and Crouch cooperated quite tacitly, he did not stop the ball, but passed the ball into the penalty area again, this is a high ball, the landing position is just in front of Crouch, the two are so fast and exquisite cooperation, so that Carvalho's reaction is a little slower, and he failed to limit Crouch.

Crouch met the ball directly with a header and the ball went straight into the bottom left corner of the goal.

The ball is in!

Crouch equalised for Liverpool.

The moment the football flew into the goal, the Liverpool fans were boiling, and Woodgate, the Anfield commentator, excitedly shouted, "Crouch! Crouch! He helped Liverpool equalise! It was a header from the perfect combination between him and Xavi! ”

The Liverpool fans in the audience were also very excited.

They were all reminiscing about Zhang Tiehan before, but now they know that Zhang Tiehan has left the team, but there are other outstanding strikers in the team, such as Crouch, who is the leader of Liverpool's new generation of strikers, and now many fans have liked this tall man, and even Liverpool media claim that he can replace Zhang Tiehan.

Of course, that can only be self-soothing

Crouch's ability is good, but he is more of a standing center, that is, his scoring ability is better than that of an ordinary standing center, and compared with Zhang Tiehan, it is estimated that only his height can be compared, and his table on the court cannot be compared.

At this time, Benitez's expression was also relieved in the Liverpool dugout, Crouch was brought to Liverpool by his hand, and now he was happy to see Crouch break the Chelsea goal. He hopes that Crouch can show that he is not able to catch up with Zhang Tiehan, at least so that the team's forward line does not look so bad, since this season, he has always been very concerned about offensive ability, perhaps because the forward line led by Zhang Tiehan last season was too strong. Benitez is not used to not having a Zhang Tiehan striker, which means that every time he wants to score, he has to rely on some luck.

On the other side of the Chelsea dugout, head coach Villas-Boas stood on the sidelines with his hands in his hands, without any special expression on his face, as if he didn't care about the goal at all.

Unlike coaches like Rafael Benitez, Villas-Boas is very image-oriented, and that's the way it was in this game, he came to the pitch in a suit and leather shoes, which looked very formal. And many other managers, especially those in the top league, tend to pay less attention to the image of people, such as Benitez who is now wearing a sportswear.

It is precisely because of his dress and that kind of extravagance that many people think of this young Chelsea manager, who is actually still an aristocrat, although he is a declining aristocracy, but his tutoring is indeed very good. Whatever the circumstances, it's hard to see him flustered. Or the scene of laughing regardless of the image.

It's also hard to know what Boas was thinking.

After Liverpool's equaliser, the camera pointed at Boas several times, but his expression remained largely unchanged, suggesting that Boas was indeed a little better than Grant – at least he could make a memorable image in a game, this kind of formal suit to coach the game. And it's very rare for a manager to have a look on his face all over the court, which is very characteristic in the head coaching industry, while Grant is completely unmemorable because he has nothing special about him.

After Liverpool celebrated the goal, the game resumed.

Liverpool and Chelsea had a fierce clash on the pitch. The two teams have been in a stalemate overall, and it is worth mentioning that Liverpool's full-back Pennant is an excellent Northshire Academy graduate, a right winger who also joined Liverpool in the summer.

Pennant has been a young talent since he was a teenager, moving to Premier League club Arsenal at the age of 16 for £2.5 million, scoring three in his first league appearance against Southampton, but was loaned out twice in six years to Watford, Leeds United and Birmingham.

It was only officially acquired by Birmingham in 2005.

A season later, Liverpool brought Pennant to Anfield for £6.7 million (but Birmingham's deal with Arsenal was for 25% of the £6.7 million transfer fee, or £1.675 million).

So far, Pennant has become Liverpool's main player, but his personality problems are also a bit strict, and Benitez is still a headache for Pennant.

Pennant has a lot of bad deeds, such as his frequent girlfriend changes, gossip news about his lace news, fans are a little tired of watching it, and he often does some strange things, the most notable is that while playing for Birmingham, he was arrested and charged with drunk driving and uninsured after his Mercedes car hit a lamppost in Aylesbury, while he was still driving for 16 months. He was convicted and sentenced to 90 days in prison, after 30 days on parole, Pennant returned to Birmingham City to continue wearing his armour, but was required to wear an electronic monitor even when playing during his parole.

This is Pennant, a guy with some genius, but a strange personality.

However, Liverpool fans still love him because of his excellent appearance on the pitch, Liverpool's attack on the right side is almost entirely dependent on Pennant, and he repeatedly breaks through to complete passes, causing a big threat to Chelsea's defence.

Pennant was also excited, he felt like he was in good shape, he even thought about scoring for a while, but what he didn't know was that danger was approaching

Zhang Tiehan noticed Pennant.

Liverpool played very well during this time, the two teams were in a stalemate, Zhang Tiehan was difficult to get the ball in the front, so he retreated a little, and after finding that Liverpool's attack was most active on the right side, he rushed over.

This time it's still Liverpool's attack.

Gerrard dribbled the ball over the halfway line and played a pass to Alonso, who received the pass and did not dribble the ball himself but handed it to Pennant on the right, who was happy to give the ball to his Liverpool team-mates.

Seeing this pass, Zhang Tiehan slowly ran over.

Pennant seemed very active, he didn't plan to pass the ball again when he received the ball, and then he started to accelerate with the ball and then looked for a chance to cross at the bottom line, he had been doing this before, many times he was able to create zào opportunities, which is also very experienced, after seeing a tall guy with a No. 9 back rushing up, Pennant still didn't plan to pass the ball, and thought to himself, "Tall and strong guys are often rough in technique, let me get rid of you now!" ”

He's getting a little too excited

Just then, he heard a shout, "Be careful, pass here!" This voice is very familiar, it is Gerrard's voice, even if Pennant is excited, he still does not dare to anger Gerrard, after all, the latter is Liverpool's NO.1.

He's going to pass the ball.

But at this moment, the Nine had already forced over.

"How is it so fast?" Before Pennant could react, he even felt like he had evolved for a moment, so he subconsciously took a step ahead of the ball to prevent the opponent from grabbing the ball easily, and then ran forward twice, but then the Blues fans in the left stand suddenly let out a laugh.

Pennant touched his head in confusion, which made him look a little funny, and the laughter in the stands was even louder, and then he felt that something was wrong, and he looked down to see that the football was gone.

When I turned my head again, the number nine just now was Zhang Tiehan.

Zhang Tiehan!

That's the guy who the captain told me not to be one-on-one, Pennant didn't think about losing face or anything, but felt that I was really a little stupid, why didn't I remember Zhang Tiehan's number?

But now he'll remember for sure.

At the same time, Zhang Tiehan has been running towards Liverpool's half with the ball, this is a good opportunity for a quick counterattack, he directly kicked the ball, and then stepped to catch up, which made his speed reach the extreme, if Pennant's dribbling was like a bicycle before, now Zhang Tiehan is a car, and it is a heavyweight car, fast, large, giving people an irresistible feeling, and everyone in Liverpool is aware of the danger in an instant.

"Zhang's steal! He's making his way to the Liverpool half! He's just too fast, and combined with his big size, he looks like a fast-moving tank......" Anfield stadium commentator Woodgate made a graphic analogy.

The other commentators also exclaimed.

Zhang Tiehan has been silent for a long time before, and after seeing Zhang Tiehan dribbling the ball this time, they are excited again, no matter in any media, Zhang Tiehan will be the most noteworthy player.

The Liverpool players on the field also reacted, but just now they were attacking, and the pressure was a little closer, and almost most of the Liverpool players could only watch Zhang Tiehan's figure drift away, and they were very weak to catch up.

'It was a quick comeback from Chelsea!' Sky TV commentator qualitatively said. (To be continued......)
