Chapter 730: "Battle" (Part II)
Fanny is known as the king of the small penalty area, Chen Yu's retreat can definitely no longer bind Fanny's consciousness, he has a star conversion card, which can switch between the consciousness of the two stars, and there is no need to spend time untying the consciousness that has been bound, and then binding a new consciousness.
This time Chen Yu is bound to the ice prince Bergkamp who can pass and shoot in the front court, Chelsea's defensive intensity is too great, and ordinary people can't get rid of the entanglement of defensive players at all, only players with superb skills like the ice prince can break through Chelsea's defense and create a chance to score.
Liverpool played in a 44 formation, the forwards in front were Chen Yu and Crouch, after Chen Yu retreated, the pressure on Chelsea's defenders was much less, but Terry and Carvalho did not dare to put the position on the premise, neither of them was the kind of defender who chased back quickly, once Chen Yu counterattacked, the back was simply a wide racetrack, and Terry was also worried that Chen Yu's retreat itself was a trap, deliberately leading them to be fooled.
Chen Yu and Gerrard's characteristics are not the same, both of them have the ability to break through, Chen Yu's degree is faster, the technique is more delicate, after he returned to the midfield, Chelsea's defense in the midfield is not so sufficient, Mikel, Makelele, Lampard, these three people have a strong ability to run and intercept, there is no problem at all to cut off the passing line of Alonso, Zenden, Mascherano and others, but if you want to prevent Chen Yu and Gerrard from breaking through, it is basically impossible to cut off the passing line between them.
In the first minute of the game, Chen Yu received the ball under Mikel's close defense, completed an 18o degree turn, and shook off Mikel, who was originally sticking behind Chen Yu, but he didn't expect to suddenly become back-to-back with Chen Yu, and he didn't even have a chance to reach out and foul.
Chen Yu This is a stroke of genius, Mikel's defensive ability is very strong, it is not easy to completely get rid of him, without any delay, even Makelele is not ready to help defend, and when Chen Yu rushes up, Makelele has no way to defend except for fouls.
Makelele is not Chelsea's last line of defense, but if he doesn't foul, the defender may have to foul, at that time the foul position is closer to the goal, and the risk of uncontrollable is greater, Makelele is a very smart midfielder, he made a decisive move and grabbed Chen Yu's arm.
Chen Yu just rushed up, but before he had time to sprint with all his strength, he was stretched out by Makelele and tripped directly.
Referee Merck's whistle blew just in time, but he only verbally warned Makelele and awarded Liverpool a free-kick.
Chen Yu was not satisfied with the penalty, he rushed over and yelled at the referee Merck: "Is this kind of foul not enough to be a yellow card?" ”
The Liverpool fans at the scene were also in an uproar, they seemed that this foul must be carded, if such cards do not eat yellow cards, there is likely to be a worse foul on Chen Yu below.
The commentator at the scene, He Shishi, said: "Obviously, this is the referee Merck's mercy, otherwise Makelele would not have escaped a yellow card." However, the first half has only started less than 3o minutes, and it is understandable to give a verbal warning.
Liverpool's players are also dissatisfied with such a penalty, but Chen Yu questioned the referee like this, and it is dangerous to question the authority of the referee.
"Chen, calm down"
Gerald hurried over and pulled Chen Yu away.
Chen Yu also regained his composure after a short period of anger, and walked away silently, no longer pestering the referee.
Liverpool's sentiments were still affected by the decision, and then Alonso took the free-kick, and when Alonso drove the free-kick, Liverpool striker Crouch was shown a yellow card by referee Merck after elbowing the Ivorian elephant in a rivalry with Drogba.
Although Crouch's foul is indisputable, but because Makelele did not eat a card for Chen Yu's foul before, but Crouch ate a card, which made Liverpool's players and fans unanimously dissatisfied, Liverpool fans protested, and Liverpool's players collectively stepped forward to ask the referee Merck for an explanation.
Merck is a referee trained by FIFA and UEFA, known as Collina's successor, he naturally will not give anything to say, what can be given is a warning, a verbal warning, if it is not for Liverpool's yellow card eating too much, and the leader is Gerrard, who has a better reputation, it is estimated that the card will be played.
Benitez felt that the feelings of the players had been affected, and if it went on like this, there would likely be problems in the future, so he hurried to the sidelines and called Gerrard and Chen Yu, "Calm down, this is at Stamford Bridge, we are playing away, even if we lose, we have a chance to get it back at Anfield, don't worry."
Do not let anger cloud your sanity. ”
Steven Gerrard and Chen Yu are both more sensible players, Benitez reminded them that the two immediately calmed down and realised that they could not be influenced not only by their opponents, but also by the referee, this is Stamford Bridge, there are more than 40,000 Chelsea fans in the stands, and the referee cannot be unaffected, they must accept this reality.
Liverpool offensive foul, the ball in the hands of Chelsea, Chelsea continued to adopt Liverpool's oppressive offensive tactics, trying to take advantage of the situation to attack, early to establish the lead, but Gerrard and Chen Yu calmed down, Liverpool immediately seemed to change its appearance, in the siege and pressing of the sinking steady, as long as the ball is at the feet of Chen Yu and Gerrard, the two will never blindly play the ball, but dribble, to reduce the rhythm faster and faster.
Gerrard and Chen Yu's ball control skills are excellent, and their bodies are good, it is not easy for the opponent to grab the ball without fouling, Gerrard is better to defend, Gerrard is slow, after the defender is broken, other players still have the opportunity to fill the position, but it is not good to defend Chen Yu, Chen Yu's degree is very fast, a little explosive is a little, and others are rarely able to make up for the position, so as long as Chen Yu takes the ball, Chelsea's players need to be surrounded in the midfield, so that the other players of Liverpool are empty, Chen Yu passes the ball over, Liverpool's passing in midfield came alive.
This is something that Mourinho cannot tolerate, Mourinho's football is not to let the opponent play his own football, even his own team cannot play his own style.
"Kick him, don't let Chen take the ball, don't let him hold the ball, don't rush up and use foul tactics"
Mourinho shouted blatantly from the sidelines.
Seeing Mourinho shouting like this, Benitez was so angry that his nose was crooked, and he angrily protested to the fourth official: "It's really shameless"
When the fourth official heard it, he could only smile bitterly and pretend not to hear, after all, Mourinho only made a verbal threat, even if it was a real foul, then only the referee Merck would punish him, and he, the fourth official, had nothing to do.
The execution ability of Chelsea players is very good, Mourinho has established absolute authority in Chelsea, and his words will be executed even if he is a fart player, except for Shevchenko, of course, in the next game, Chelsea began to kill Chen Yu, rather than encirclement.
The advantage of lethal tactics is that it does not require too many players to participate, to prevent loss of position, and the disadvantage is that it is easy to cause attrition if you eat too many cards, but Mourinho is a very cunning coach, he has observed this period of time, and has seen that Merck is affected by the home factor, and the scale of punishment is a little loose, so he decisively let the players kill Chen Yu.
Chen Yu soon felt the pressure, in the first minute of the game, Chen Yu quickly started to receive the ball in the direction of his goal, he had thrown off Mikel almost two meters away, Mikel could not have a chance to touch the ball except for a foul behind him, Chen Yu touched the ball to the side, ready to turn around and throw away Mikel, but Mikel shoveled Chen Yu with a foot in the case of no possibility of touching the ball, Chen Yu because the ball has been set aside at the moment, there is no need to worry about controlling the ball, his feet are more flexible, he jumped up to avoid Mikel's flying tackle.
But when Chen Yu got the ball, Lampard arrived again, he didn't grab the ball, first grabbed Chen Yu's shirt with his hand, to see if he couldn't pull it, Lampard tripped with his foot again, Chen Yu stumbled, and then got up and continued to run forward after holding the ground with his hand.
Lampard saw that Chen Yu's demon hadn't tripped yet, so he went straight to his hands, grabbed Chen Yu's shoulders with both hands, and pulled Chen Yu down on the turf.
Merck blew the whistle and gave Liverpool a free-kick, but it was still not carded.
Liverpool's players were very angry, but at this time Chen Yu was very calm, he stood up and stopped his teammates who wanted to question the referee again, and said: "Forget it, the referee in this game is on this scale, we have to adapt, the more the opponent wants to win, the more we don't let him get his wish." ”
Steven Gerrard said: "Chen is right, we are going to beat them at Stamford Bridge, we want them to look good. ”
Liverpool's players are still angry, but they have changed from referees to Chelsea players and manager Jose Mourinho. “
The free kick was taken by Liverpool's hardest foot, Reese ran a long distance, a strong volley, the ball hit the wall and bounced back, Joe Cole, who was hit by the ball, squatted on the ground with his stomach in his hands, but the Liverpool midfielder Mascherano who grabbed the landing point did not stop attacking, he stuffed the ball straight to Chen Yu, Chen Yu was still in the bag of Chelsea players, he did not stop the ball, and passed directly to Gerrard with a wall match, Gerrard followed up with another angry shot, the ball burst out of the crack in the penalty area, and went straight to the left side of the goal.
Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech ran to the right side of the goal when he pounced on Lisse's shot, this time quickly and quickly to the left, saved, such a long distance, he was a little too long to reach, but Ager's shot was a little off target, it hit the crossbar, Alonso shot again, the ball went over the crossbar.
Liverpool's attack shot three times in a row, which was very morale-boosting, and the stands at Stamford Bridge were silent, and Mourinho was also so anxious that he jumped on the sidelines, angrily scolding Liverpool for not having the ball, and taking advantage of the injury of Chelsea's players to attack, but seeing Joe Cole standing up again, Mourinho had to shut up.
When the game started again, Chelsea continued to kill Chen Yu, Steven Gerrard and Liverpool's key players, but Liverpool were no longer distracted by this, they patiently and calmly played with Chelsea, and threatened Chelsea's door with sharp counter-attacks.
During this period of time, the most brave and tragic is Chen Yu, he is Chelsea's henchman, and the main object of Chelsea's killing tactics, as long as he gets the ball, Chelsea will inevitably foul, trying to reduce Chen Yu's ball, but Chen Yu is not afraid, the game has reached the level of the semi-finals, there is no need to be low-key, everyone must go all out to pass, Chen Yu also waved his skills and degrees to the extreme, and destroyed Chelsea's defense again and again with breakthroughs and passes.
Merck's scale in this game is unified, but it is more conducive to Chelsea's swing, even so, look at Chen Yu being put down again and again, and holding and falling again and again, Merck also showed two yellow cards to Chelsea players, one to Makelele and one to Joe Cole.
Referee Angela Merck blew the whistle at the end of the first half, and both the Liverpool and Chelsea players walked to the dressing room in disbelief, hoping that the 15 minutes would not be rested and then the 45 minutes of the second half would be better.
Benitez returned to the dressing room early, where he waited for the players at the door of the dressing room, hugging each Liverpool player, and the assistant coach handing the players a bottle of sports drink next to him to give the players a little refueling.
After all the players walked into the dressing room, Benitez closed the door, turned to the players and said: "You played well in the first half, and if you continue to play like this, even if you lose, I don't think the fans can blame you." ”
'No, we must not lose to Chelsea'
"We'd rather die of exhaustion than see their faces celebrating."
"You can't lose."
The players couldn't help but object to Benitez's words.
Benitez was a comforting word, he didn't expect the players to react so much, he was naturally very happy, so he didn't have to boost the morale of the players, boosting morale is not what he is best at, the O5 Champions League is just a regular swing.
“…… Well, if we continue to play like this, we will definitely not lose, oo is not a good score, but considering the strength of the opponent, we can definitely accept this score, and it would be better if we could score a goal...... The scale of this game is very large, Chelsea's fouls are very bad, and it is estimated that the scale will not change in the second half, which is very bad for Chen, I hope Chen will play a little smarter, and others will be faster when passing, even if it is a mistake, the ball must be fast, so as to be able to deal a fatal blow to Chelsea, and it can also reduce the chance of the opponent being caught in the defense...... Crouch should get behind the defender quickly after making the ball, don't wait for a pass from a team-mate, Terry may not be faster than you......"
After summarizing the first half, Benitez pointed out the problems of the players, and clearly arranged the areas that need to be improved in the second half, the first half of the game was too fast, there was no time to think, Liverpool's players did not know where their problems were, after Benitez woke up a little, they woke up like a dream, and they were more confident in the second half of the game.
The atmosphere in the home dressing room was not as relaxed as in the away dressing room, and the score of the first half certainly did not please the ambitious Chelsea, and they did not even have much of the upper hand on the pitch, playing like this at home, and the prospects would certainly be even worse if they went to Anfield.
Jose Mourinho has always been outspoken, making no secret of his disappointment at Chelsea's first-half appearance, and he was not at all merciless in his criticism.
“…… The first half was like, it was our luck not to concede a goal, you gave the opponent at least two chances, but they didn't take any of them, you didn't limit Gerrard and Alonso enough, you couldn't subdue the beast of Chen, if the rest of Liverpool played a little more boldly, the first half win might have been their ......"
Mourinho may be a bit exaggerated, looking too low on Chelsea's table, but Chelsea is fighting at their own home stadium, and the referee Merck's blowing penalty scale is in their favor, in this case playing like this, Mourinho's anger and sarcasm are also understandable, this is a game they can't afford to lose, the league they have little hope, if the Champions League is out again, Chelsea will only have the FA Cup to compete for, which is unbearable for Chelsea, which is calculated by investing hundreds of millions of dollars every year. It's not good to say that Mourinho will also be out of class.
“…… I am very happy with Chen this player, even like him very much, he is a player that every team and every coach likes, but in this game I even hope that you can kick him and let him go down immediately, this is football, this is competitive football, this is utilitarian competitive sports, everyone looks at the champion, the second is failure, this game, you must limit Chen, even if you kick him, otherwise we will lose in the hands of this Chinese, be ruthless, must not be merciful, treat other players tightly restricted, must not make them comfortable, make the opponent comfortable is your failure Remember this sentence below I will arrange the tactical arrangements for the second half, Drogba is still in the middle to get the ball, try to pass the ball, the opponent must also be lethal tactics for you, you have to be able to protect yourself, you have to be able to fake falls, if you don't fall, the referee will not pay attention, and will not punish your opponent, don't learn from that Chinese, even if you are stronger than him, remember, you belong to Chelsea, you have to stay healthy for Chelsea......"
Jose Mourinho's vicious words echoed over the home dressing room like a demon in hell, while the Chelsea players listened attentively and were convinced, and it was clear that the second half would be bloody again.
