Originally, Chelsea's weakness was their right-back Ferreira, Liverpool's attack has always played Chelsea's weakness first, and when Chelsea's defense showed flaws, Essien paid in this game, and Grant put him in the weakest position, instead of letting Essien play his best midfield. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After making up for this shortcoming, Chelsea has no weaknesses in defense, Liverpool doesn't know where to start if they want to attack, but Chelsea knows where Liverpool's weaknesses are. The second is that Liverpool's midfield lacks height and has average interception ability in the air, which is also where Chelsea's main attack is.

In the 14th minute, Lampard's long pass was hoisted into the penalty area, Drogba used the advantage of speed and body to squeeze Ager into the penalty area, seeing that Droger was about to form a single knife to the meeting, Ager used a common action in amateur football, stretched out his foot to stab the ball in the back, Drogba was defenseless, and the ball was poked out of the bottom line.

There was applause from Liverpool fans in the stands, and although the action was risky, it was beautiful and it was a successful clearance.

However, after Ager cleared the siege, he lay on the ground and did not get up for a while, and after Carragher pulled him up, Ager did not seem very comfortable.

Benitez on the sidelines was nervous and quickly raised his hand to ask Agger if he wanted to go down to check it out, but Ager made a high leg lift and skimmed outward, and told Benitez that it was okay and could continue the game.

Benitez breathed a sigh of relief after a false alarm, but never returned to the dugout, just standing on the sidelines to watch the game.

Chelsea served a tactical corner and Joe Cole passed the ball to Ashley. Cole, Ashley Cole dribbled the ball laterally to the middle, and when Mascherano came to defend, Ashley Cole passed the ball back to Joe Cole, who was on the side of the box.

Joe Cole saw Drogba cut forward before receiving the ball, so he didn't stop the ball and directly crossed the penalty area.

It was a beautiful pass-and-run combination, and Liverpool's two centre-backs didn't even have time to defend.

Facing Liverpool goalkeeper Reina, who raised his hands and pounced, Drogba volleyed sideways and wanted to hit the ball to the bottom right corner of the goal, but Reina was quick and stretched out his foot to block, and the ball bounced off the bottom line.

This is already Liverpool's second consecutive distress in three minutes, Ager's stabbing kick, Reina's block of that leg, are not regular defensive actions, if it were not for the two experienced, Liverpool may have conceded the goal.

The Chelsea fans in the stands were in high spirits, clapping and chanting in a deafening sound that filled the stadium at Stamford Bridge.

As Chelsea's attack became more and more aggressive, the threat of shooting increased, but Liverpool's players were powerless to reverse the passive situation, they had empty possession, but neither from the flanks nor from the middle could threaten the Chelsea goal.

In the 17th minute of the game, Chen Yu finally used his personal breakthrough to win a set-piece opportunity for Liverpool.

In situations where athletic warfare doesn't work, set-pieces may be able to have a surprising effect.

Seeing Chen Yu standing in front of the ball and preparing for a free throw, Chelsea pulled the tallest players out to stand on the wall and make it as difficult as possible for Chen Yu's shot.

The set-piece was about 25 metres from the goal, a moderate distance, but it wasn't easy to get off, Chelsea's players were tall and would jump higher, the arc was not enough to get past the wall, and the arc was too big to fall the distance.

Chen Yu calculated for a while and decided to fight his strength, with the strength of Cech, if he did not increase his strength, it would be impossible to break through the Czechs' Ten Finger Pass.

Chen Yu ran slightly, and slammed the middle and lower part of the ball on the outside of his right foot, and the ball rose from the ground, drawing a crescent-like arc like a dragon whirlwind, bypassing the human wall and heading straight to the right side of the goal.

"Outside the instep!"

Cech let out a cry of surprise and flew towards the ball.

The ball was too fast, the arc was too big, and Cech's arm was stretched out to the extreme without touching the ball.

Cech felt a chill in his heart, thinking that he was going to finish, but he didn't expect the ball to fly near the angle between the post and the crossbar.

All the Chelsea fans breathed a sigh of relief, just now Chen Yu kicked the extremely spinning curve ball, the hearts of Chelsea fans were pinched, lest Cech couldn't hold it, but they didn't expect the ball to go out of the goal.

Although Liverpool used set-pieces to create a dangerous shot, they still could not change the situation on the field, Liverpool controlled the ball more, but it was Chelsea who continued to create a threat.

In the 22nd minute, Essien tried again from 25 yards out, but the ball was saved by Reina.

In the 25th minute, Mikel split the ball in the middle, Ballack shot vigorously from 30 meters away, the ball was very powerful, and Reina held the ball out of the penalty area with both hands.

In the 27th minute, Drogba dribbled the ball, and Ague fell to the ground to tackle and shoveled the ball to Reese on the wing.

Reese dribbled the ball along the flank, and the attention of the whole court was drawn to Reese, but he didn't notice that Ager couldn't get up after the tackle.

Reese's cross from the left was met by Kuyt and Chen, and Gerrard stepped forward to volley in front of the box, but the ball was not held down and flew high over the crossbar.

After Gerrard's shot, everyone found Agg on the ground and did not get up, so they quickly brought the team doctor and stretcher on the field.

Ager was carried off the pitch for a check-up, and after a brief examination of the injury, Mark Waller said to Benitez: "I have a thigh muscle strain, I can't continue the game, let's make a substitution." ”

"What?" The gloom suddenly clouded Benitez's face, and the other centre-back, Skrtel, who had not yet recovered from his injury, and now Ager was injured again, and the only player he could use was the Finnish veteran Hyypia. But Hyypia is 35 years old, when he was young he was world-class, now he can only be at the Liverpool level, but now Benitez can only count on Hyypia.

Two minutes later, Hyypia came on to replace Ager, and Liverpool were forced to make a substitution in the 30th minute, making the situation even more dangerous for Liverpool by pairing two centre-backs who were not very familiar with each other.

In the 33rd minute, Chelsea defender Mikel stole the ball at Kuyt's feet and quickly handed it to Frank Lampard, who sent a 30-metre through ball that Kalou cut in diagonally to the left of the box, received the ball and changed direction, using his dexterity to shake off the bulky Hyypia and shoot furiously.

Kalou shot from the edge of the penalty area and the ball was quick, Reyna saved the ball and Drogba cut in at high speed to make it home from a tight angle from five yards.

1-0.

After Drogba scored, he excitedly opened his arms and ran to the stands.

“goalgoalgoal……”

There was already a frenzy in the stands, with all the Chelsea fans jumping up and cheering and the whole Stamford Bridge stadium turned into a sea of boiling water.

“goalgoalgoalgoal…… Drogba! Great Drogba! It was the Ivorian's fifth goal in the Champions League this season! Didier Drogba opens the door to Moscow for Chelsea! The balance of victory was completely in Chelsea's favor...... Kalou shoots! Drogba shoots in the build! It was a goal made by two Ivorians! They murdered Liverpool ......"

The commentator at the scene was so passionate that he almost knelt down and licked Drogba.

Chelsea boss Grant jumped up with a "whoop" and threw his fist in the air, "Well done!" Drogba! Good job! Kalaw! ”

Chelsea's substitutes rushed out like wolves, waving their arms and roaring at the Liverpool stands, venting their excitement to the fullest.

The camera lens was given to the VIP box, but there was no figure of Abramovich in the box, it is said that the Russian tycoon was summoned by the president, but no one can know what the real reason is, the Russian tycoon is relatively low-key, and the media can rarely get accurate news about him.

The Liverpool fans were speechless, the Liverpool players looked disappointed, and the Liverpool coach couldn't help but shake his head.

The breakthrough is in Hyypia, the 35-year-old is 1.92 meters tall, he was slow to turn when he was young, and now he has been turning for a long half century, and he has no chance to interfere in the face of a flexible winger like Kalou.

All Liverpudlians are missing Ager and Skrtel, who is on the field, Kalaw can't get a chance to shoot, Kalaw doesn't shoot, Drogba has no chance to make up for it, Liverpool won't concede the goal, but Liverpool is so unlucky, the two main central defenders are all injured, and they can only Haupia.

Benitez and the players can't blame Hyypia, the veteran has given everything for Liverpool and is now on the bench like a mascot, it's good to be on top, you can't expect too much from a 35-year-old veteran.

After Chelsea celebrated, the game continued, with Liverpool trying to fight back after conceding a goal, but they were helpless against Chelsea's stubborn defence, the ball could be at their feet, but it was very difficult to get into the box, and they had to face a quick counter-attack from Chelsea with the ball.

Chelsea's defense is now very deep, and when attacking, it does not penetrate in the front court at all, and the long and mid-range passes are directly hanging high balls past Mascherano and Alonso, so that Mascherano's speed and fighting for Alonso's card position and prediction can not play a role, and can directly allow Drogba, Kalou, and Joe Cole to face Liverpool's backline.

From the time they conceded to the end of the first half, Liverpool launched a number of attacks, but only Chen Yu barely managed to complete a shot, although Chelsea did not even have a shot on goal, but their threatening attack played as many as four times, and Alonso also received a yellow card for a tactical foul on Kalou.

When referee Rossetti blew the whistle for the end of the first half, the Liverpool players lowered their heads one by one, their faces gloomy, and walked quickly to the dressing room, without looking into the stands.

The Chelsea players were celebrating with their supporters as Didier Drogba's goal put them half-footed in the final, and Liverpool will have to score two goals if they want to progress, so Chelsea don't have to worry about it at all with Liverpool's first-half form.

The on-site commentator also said: "Chelsea have the right time and place and if Benitez can't make effective changes in midfield, they could be eliminated by Chelsea for the first time. ”
