Chapter 1105: Barak's Heavy Artillery
Benitez's order to continue to shrink is not only incomprehensible to Chen Yu, but other players in Liverpool also dare not agree, but in recent years, Benitez's authority in Liverpool is very heavy, including Chen Yu, Gerrard, all Liverpool players respect Benitez's command, even if there is disagreement, they will not disobey, they still follow Benitez's command to patiently play defensive counterattacks, waiting for Chelsea to make mistakes.

Chelsea were in a game-breaker today, and regardless of whether Liverpool really backed down or had a conspiracy, they still went forward to attack Liverpool's penalty area.
In the case of Benitez, Liverpool's defensive ability is second only to Chelsea in the Premier League, they defend with all their might, even if Chelsea attack with all their might, if luck does not help, they will not be able to break Liverpool's defense in a short time.
In the last ten minutes of the first half, Chelsea once again achieved the same advantage as the opening game, but their advantage was very embarrassing, in these ten minutes, they were not even able to create a chance to shoot, and even inferior to Liverpool, Liverpool finally completed a long shot from outside the penalty area by Chen Yu.
This embarrassment can be seen from the applause of the players when they leave the field, the team song is gone, the applause is sparse, and there are many boos in between.
Everyone knows that the game between Liverpool and Chelsea is Mars hitting the earth, and they are looking forward to this being a wonderful and even classic game, but no one thought that the game would be so boring, half time passed, except for the pictures of Chen Yu teasing Chelsea, the rest of the time were fouls and hand-to-hand combat, and the two sides combined only 6 shots on goal, which was really disappointing.
The commentator at the scene was also quite embarrassed to cover up the boredom of the game: "Since ancient times, the competition has no name, and it is normal for the game to be not good-looking, but it is very intense and tense, and I believe that the second half should become more exciting." seemed to feel that his words were not very convincing, and the commentator at the scene said: "Think about the footballer like Chen Yu, the English duo like Gerrard and Frank Lampard, and superstars like Baroque and Drogba, the game can't be ugly......"
Obviously, the words of the on-site commentator did not play a role in the fans, the fans in England are very professional, they can see that Chelsea wants to win, but Liverpool is better to win, and it is nothing if you don't win, so the attack is not active, and most of the power is used in defense, because Liverpool's counterattack threat is too great, Chelsea is very jealous and does not dare to invest all its troops, so the result is that the game is more played in the midfield, and it happens very little in the penalty area between the two sides, and there is no shot. A game can't be a good game without beautiful cooperation in the box, and it's normal for fans to be disappointed.
The score in the first half was 0:0, and neither side created good shooting opportunities, which means that they have a good limit on the opponent, that is to say, their tactical arrangement is appropriate, since it is appropriate, then there is no need to change, whether it is Benitez or Grant think so, so neither side made any adjustments to the lineup at halftime, and still used the first half of the starter.
After the start of the second half, Chelsea continued to be strong in the second half of the first half, continuing to put pressure on Liverpool, but Grant did not change at all.
In the first half, their attack was all pressed on three lines, the attack was not focused, there were wings, the middle, short pass penetration and long pass rushing and hanging in turn, sometimes relying on Drogba, Lampard, Baroque and Anelka's personal ability, it looks lively, in fact, the threat is not great, Liverpool's defensive system is very good, Reese, Finnan, Carragher and Aager have cooperated with each other for many years, everyone's individual ability is also world-class, and in front of them there is Alonso, who has a strong sense of the overall situation, fast, With a wide range of coverage, even if superstars like Drogba and Anelka are constantly fighting for the top and hand-to-hand in a group of defenders, it will not make much difference.
At half-time, Grant made changes to Chelsea's attack, which was less mixed than in the first half, becoming more one-dimensional and more targeted.
Originally, Anelka was going back and forth between the middle and the wing, but now Drogba pushed forward a few meters, he pulled to the wing, and Joe Cole pushed forward behind Drogba, as a forward midfielder; Frank Lampard and Ballack were incompatible in the Jose Mourinho era, and now they are separated from Joe Cole, ready to step forward to shoot from distance.
The people are still like that, but a slight change in the combination of 11 people can make a completely different difference.
Originally, Chelsea's attack was big and inadequate, but after Grant's change at halftime, Chelsea's attack became focused and varied, making it more difficult for the defensive side.
Don't look at Drogba in the middle now, but Drogba is nicknamed the monster, that physical fitness is super strong, and Chen Yu is at the same level, only one is stronger, one is faster, Drogba is in charge in the middle, Liverpool will never dare to use only one person to defend, Anelka is in the way in the middle, it is not as good as the threat of going to the side.
Joe Cole's skills are the best in Chelsea's squad, and when he is a midfielder, it is easy to link up the midfield, and if the opponent is not stalked, Joe Cole also has the ability to tear apart the opponent's defence.
Then there are Frank Lampard and Ballack, who are both offensive and defensive, especially good at long-range shots, and the two of them cut forward behind Drogba and Joe Cole, and there are definitely chances to get shots.
Grant's adjustment greatly increased Chelsea's attacking power, and Liverpool was caught off guard because they couldn't adapt to Chelsea's changes for a while.
In the 49th minute of the game, Mikel's beautiful long pass in the middle found his striker Drogba, Drogba was indeed brave, Liverpool's two central defenders wrapped him, he actually grabbed the ball and rubbed it back to Joe Cole behind.
The Chelsea fans in the stands applauded continuously, and Chen Yu couldn't help but sigh that this guy really deserves to be a monster, and his body is stronger than himself.
Compared with Drogba, Joe Cole is a completely different type, he is one is rigid and the other is soft. Seeing the ball flying, Joe Cole stopped and unloaded, controlled the ball, and then gently pushed it to the side.
Joe Cole's ball control movements were not stiff at all, very chic, his body was as soft as noodles, and the ball seemed to stick to him, because the ball was stopped well, and the ball was passed accurately, just rolling to Ballack's forward route.
There was another cheer in the stands.
Barak barely adjusted his steps, keeping up with two steps and picking up his leg with one kick.
Balakna was a heavy cannon for the German team, and his long-range shot was as heavy and precise as the Germans flew straight to the top right corner of the goal like a cannonball.
The shot was less than three metres away from the edge of the penalty area, and it was so fast that Reina's brain could not react before he instinctively flew out.
Goalkeepers can develop an instinctive reaction to train for long periods of time, which means they can make moves without thinking about their heads, and this reaction often allows the goalkeeper to save some incredible shots.
Reyna is a world-class goalkeeper, his instinctive reaction is also world-class, Ballack's fast and ferocious shot was actually touched by him with his fingertips, the ball was originally flying towards the goal, after being poked by the fingertips, the ball changed direction slightly, smashed heavily on the crossbar and bounced out, Reyna also fell into the goal.
"Ahh
"Alas!"
It took no more than two seconds for Ballack to shoot and Reina pounce on the crossbar, and the fans were stunned until the ball bounced off the crossbar before they had time to let out an exclamation and an exclamation.
Chelsea were desperate to win, and when Ballack was shooting, several players rushed to make up for it, but Liverpool's defenders were in a daze for less than 0.5 seconds, but it was fatal for both teams of equal quality.
After the ball bounced, several follow-up shots ran past, and Ballack, who did not move after the shot, had another chance to make up shots.
This really caught Ballack by surprise, how the ball shot out was almost how it bounced back, and it flew right in front of him, Ballack didn't have to think about it, with his head, the ball flew to the goal again.
At this moment, Reyna has already gotten up, as a world-class goalkeeper, his second reaction is also very fast, but the time between the ball bounces and Ballack's follow-up shot is too short, he just got up, he didn't have time to jump at all, the ball flew over his head into the net, and Reina's hands stretched out in a panic looked more like surrender.
1:0
No one expected that Chelsea, who shot like **** in the first half, scored in the opening four minutes of the second half. And Liverpool, who defended very well in the first half, made a mistake at this time and were given the lead by Chelsea.
Surprise! Absolute surprise!
After the ball bounced off the crossbar, Chelsea fans were largely desperate, immersed in regret and feeling that luck had been so bad, but the thought was not over, and Ballack added the ball to the net.
Suddenly, it was as if the stadium had suddenly been blown by a hurricane, and the applause and cheers of the mountain and tsunami resounded throughout the audience.
Barak leaped high and shook his fist like a demonstrative.
Although Ballack did not have a good relationship with Chelsea's homegrown gang, at this time, the Chelsea players forgot about the factional feud and rushed to Ballack and hugged him tightly in the middle.
Grant was also crazy with excitement on the sidelines, this was a goal scored against a giant like Liverpool, Liverpool was defending it, although he did not kneel like the madman Mourinho, but he also rushed to the sidelines and yelled at the pitch.
The on-site commentator was too tendency, and he said more than a dozen "goals" in a row with passion, and he almost rushed to the stadium to celebrate with the players.
This aroused the dissatisfaction of the Chinese commentator Duan Xuan, who said that the commentator was not a good commentator, and secretly gave him a middle finger.
