Chapter 1131: Reluctant Substitution

Benitez still didn't make any changes to the game after all, although the game was ugly, it was good not to concede a goal, it was not cost-effective to let Chen Yu and Gerrard risk injury to attack, and the next game would depend on the two of them, and now Liverpool has not won an important championship, and it is not impossible for Liverpool to be empty.

Liverpool and Chelsea are close in strength, Chen Yu and Gerrard do not exert force, it is almost impossible for Liverpool to get rid of Chelsea's suppression, after ten minutes of trial between the two sides, Chelsea saw the weakness behind Liverpool's resistance, and their confidence was stronger.

The strong are lucky, this is not a casual saying, it has been verified by a lot of facts, and after Chelsea launched a resolute attack, they quickly got the long-awaited opportunity to score.

It was a chance for Chelsea that was won by the Chelsea players, who struggled like mad dogs when Liverpool made a passing error up front and the ball was denied by Frank Lampard, who was extremely good at reading the game.

Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard, who are known as the two walls of England's midfield, are both superstars in attack and defence, and in the England national team, they are also contenders for the captaincy, and today's game is a battle between Liverpool and Chelsea, as well as Gerrard and Frank Lampard.

Steven Gerrard is a master shooter from distance, and Frank Lampard's long-range shooting skills are in no way inferior to him.

As Frank Lampard stole Liverpool's ball in midfield, the Liverpool players didn't have time to set up when he got the ball, giving Lampard plenty of room to manoeuvre.

Frank Lampard glanced at the goal, slotted the ball into unmarked space and fired a shot before the defender could arrive.

Lampard's shooting is characterized by great power and momentum, as the saying goes, it is a miracle to make a big shot, Lampard's shot does have a lot of miracles, he has scored a lot of goals every season, many fans call him the king of refraction, and the opponent is also very afraid of his shot at the edge of the penalty area.

Frank Lampard had good luck this time around, as when he was shooting, Carragher flew in to intercept the ball and the ball hit his leg and deflected towards the right side of the goal.

Liverpool was besieged by Chelsea today, Chelsea shot a lot, goalkeeper Reina's state came up very fast, Lampard made a judgment the first time he shot, the ball flew to the left, he also reacted at the first time, a jump first, ready to fly to save, saw the ball hit Carragher's leg and changed direction, Reyna froze as if he had been frozen.

The ball flew into the net.

Thanks to Frank Lampard's reflex, Chelsea took the lead in the 30th minute.

There was thunderous cheer in the stands, and the Chelsea fans did not forget to humiliate their old rivals while cheering and applauding, they mocked Liverpool to their heart's content, calling them defeated, saying that Liverpool did not have more Premier League titles than Chelsea, and kept shouting that the yellow monkey got out of the British Isles.

Frank Lampard's goal was a turning point in the game.

It turned out that Chelsea had the attack, the scene was very good, but the initiative was not in their hands, after Lampard scored, the initiative was all in the hands of Chelsea, they wanted to attack, they wanted to defend, and Liverpool only had one choice left, that is, attack.

Beaten by Chelsea like a relegation team, not to mention the loss of face, but also the loss of the ball, the inside is gone, Benitez, players, fans, all feel very embarrassed, although they have a mentality of giving up if they can't win before the game, but they can't accept losing the game like this, which has nothing to do with whether the FA Cup is chicken ribs, and the face of Liverpool's double.

Gerrard looked at Frank Lampard's face sinking like water, he walked towards Chen Yu, and said: "We can lose the game, but we can't afford to lose this person, they are simply humiliating us, I can't bear this breath, Chen, can you bear it?" ”

Chen Yu is also holding back the fire in his heart, he is the only one in the Liverpool team who does not want to give up the game, but his teammates have no idea of letting go with Chelsea, he alone has no way to fight against Chelsea, he is the world footballer, but he is not God, Chelsea's strength is one of the few in world football.

Gerald's words were in line with Chen Yu's thoughts, he grabbed Gerald and said in a low but firm voice: "Steve, let's kill them if we want to come up with this breath, it's not like we haven't fought with them, who doesn't know whose bottom it is, don't look at them ahead, as long as we let go of the fight, it's not certain who will die." “

Gerard said with a cold face: "Whether you win or lose, I must come out of this breath, Chen, you have to help me." “

Chen Yu said: "I've been holding my breath for a long time, let's **** mother below." ”

Steven Gerrard didn't say anything more, but when he looked at Frank Lampard and the Chelsea players, there was only murder in his eyes.

Then Benitez gave the team an order to counterattack, no matter what the victory or defeat, Benitez doesn't want to see such a scene again, he knows that losing this game may have no impact on his position and prestige, but losing the game in such a humiliating way has a great impact on his status and reputation, Liverpool fans are very bloody and honorable, losing in such a humiliating way will definitely be angered by the fans, and even in the next few years, it will not be forgotten by the fans, he must do something.

Steven Gerrard also greeted his team-mates one by one, and as captain, he asked them to run, attack, play aggressively and bravely, and not let the Chelsea people look down on them.

Chen Yu told every teammate who was good with him to let them go and fight with Chelsea, Chen Yu said: "Since we don't care about winning or losing, what's so scary, have we ever been afraid of Chelsea?" Neither before nor after I arrived, Chelsea have never taken advantage of us in the cups. “

Indeed, even before Chen Yu moved to Liverpool, Liverpool beat Chelsea in the cup competition, just as Chelsea beat Liverpool in the league.

In the cup competition, Liverpool's players and fans had enough psychological advantages in the face of Chelsea, and in the process of the next counterattack, Liverpool played surprisingly well, and quickly reversed the disadvantage on the field, and Chelsea became offensive and defensive.

The situation shocked and terrified Chelsea manager Grant, who was shocked by the fighting power that Liverpool had burst onto, and feared that Liverpool would continue to display their magical power in cup competitions.

In order to prevent Liverpool from turning the tables, Grant gave a death order to the players, and he must lock up and lead Liverpool to counterattack Chen Yu and Gerrard, even at the cost of killing tactics.

Grant knows that Liverpool's goal is to worry about the injury of the main team, which will affect the Champions League and league games later, but as a giant coach, Grant is different from Mourinho, he respects his identity, and he does not want to adopt this kind of lethal tactics as a last resort, but seeing that Liverpool's counterattack is very fierce, there is a tendency to turn the tables in one fell swoop, Grant can't hold his breath, the FA Cup is his most promising title, he must not allow Chelsea to be eliminated in the semi-finals, no matter what he does, he has to beat Liverpool.

The first to be hurt was Liverpool's captain Gerrard, Chelsea looked for Gerrard instead of Chen Yu, not because Gerrard was more important than Chen Yu, nor did he want to show mercy to Chen Yu's men, just because Chen Yu's speed was too fast, quiet as a mountain and a rabbit, and there may not be a chance to foul, Gerrard is slower than Chen Yu, and Gerrard is in the middle and is easily trapped.

After Gerrard was kicked down by a Chelsea player like a tree when he got the ball, Benitez's eyelids jumped and his heart felt like it was going to explode, he looked at the time, it was only five minutes into the second half, he couldn't stand it, and immediately called Gerrard to the sidelines and told him to let him come down and rest.

Gerrard certainly knew what Benitez meant, the coach wanted to protect him, but Gerrard got angry and didn't want to be too ugly in the conversation with Lampard, and he told Benitez that he was fine, not tired, no substitutions.

Gerrard's status in the Liverpool team is very high, even Benitez had to respect his opinion, so he wanted to replace Chen Yu, but Chen Yu was more determined than Gerrard to win, he said that he would never rest, and he would fight with Chelsea to the end.

Gerrard didn't want to get off the field, Benitez was already unhappy in his heart, seeing Chen Yu once again refuse his order to replace, which made Benitez even more unhappy, he almost said in a commanding tone: "Chen, you have to come down, can't you see, the opponent has adopted killing tactics, this is not the time for you to do it, this is for the collective interests of the team." ”

Before Chen Yu had time to play, the head coach let him go down, this feeling was like flirting before sex, and before the foreplay was over, it actually stopped, which made Chen Yu very unhappy, he said: "Coach, I'll play for a while, you can see if you change someone else, it's dangerous over there, I went to the coach." ”

Chen Yu was worried that Benitez would say him, so he turned around and ran away.

Chen Yu and Gerrard don't want to be replaced, their performance on the field is indeed the mainstay, without them, Liverpool want to turn the situation around today, or even beat Chelsea, it is impossible.

But Benitez is worried, the FA Cup is nothing, but Gerrard and Chen Yu can't stand any injuries, and he must replace the next one first, so something must happen. , Benitez saw that Chen Yu was actually kicked down when he was cutting in the air, he finally couldn't help it, and directly warmed up with substitute midfielder Babel, ready to directly replace one of Chen Yu and Gerrard.

Five minutes later, after Gerrard's header was elbowed by his opponent, Benitez replaced Gerrard directly.

Gerrard didn't want to get off the field, but it was not okay not to play at this time, he could only walk off the field with a gloomy face, and when he returned to the bench, Gerrard was also very cold when he hugged Babbel, and he didn't even say a word of encouragement to Babbel.
