Chapter 720: To add insult to injury

(There's something to do today.,There's one chapter missing.,Tomorrow's three more will make up)

Jose Mourinho has focused his adjustments on Arjen Robben and Ballack.

In the nearly twenty minutes played in the first half, Drogba and Robben were the only two Chelsea players who could pose a threat, and now that Liverpool have strengthened their defense in the middle, breaking through and cutting inside on the flanks has become extremely important, and if Robben is not able to attract Liverpool's central players to the wings, Drogba will have little room to play.

After Makelele was suspended, Essien was added to the position of central defender, and the responsibility of organizing the middle fell to Ballack, whose position today was behind Drogba, similar to the role of the forward midfielder, and for a while before, Ballack played well, but after Gerrard and Alonso's joint blockade of the middle, Chelsea's attack shifted to the two wings, and Ballack's chances of touching the ball shrank strictly, and he couldn't even get the ball, let alone any organization.

Now Mourinho's tactical play has not changed much, he mainly let Robben and Kalou switch positions, let Robben avoid the offensive and defensive, fast Chen Yu, let him break through Liverpool's left-back Riese, and Ballack's organizational ability did not come into play, Mourinho asked Ballack to reduce assists, impact the penalty area more, and become Drogba's helper.

Kalaw is not a force to attack, his role is to break through the pass, the luck and courage of attacking the goal are a lot worse, it is difficult to bring much help to Drogba, but Ballack is not, his organizational skills are not very good, but the attack is very strong, headers, long shots, grabbing points are not even inferior to a striker, if Ballack can play his role in the attack, Drogba is not so lonely in front.

Jose Mourinho's on-the-spot command is so good that even Alex Ferguson is behind him, while Rafael Benitez and Arsene Wenger are a step behind, and Jose Mourinho has almost changed Chelsea's attack and defence without making substitutions.

When Robben arrived on the right, his opponents became Aurelio and Rise.

Risse has both offense and defense, as well as a long-range shooting ability, Fabio Aurelio has delicate skills at his feet, dribbling, long-range shooting, and passing are outstanding, with wide vision and strong breakthrough ability, which is the style of a typical Brazilian player, but Aurelio's fatal competitive weakness is poor physical intelligence, and his reactions, speed, explosiveness and physical confrontation ability are all his weaknesses.

Robben plays football a bit alone, but Robben's speed, explosiveness and physical elements are very good, especially speed, Dutch Peter Pan is by no means in vain, don't look at Chen Yu in front of Chen Yu did not take any advantage, but in front of Aurelio, Robben is a bug-like deposit.

In the 18th minute of the game, Robben shook off Aurelio in the midfield and made a long-distance run to Liverpool's bottom line.

Robben's ability is by no means comparable to Carlough, the Dutchman's ability to change speed and direction is very strong, he starts and stops, one will go to the inside line, one will go to the outside line, so that Ricse is a little confused, Ricse simply no longer follows Robben's movement inside and out, he resolutely retreated, let Robben go to the middle, but did not let him break through from the bottom line.

Risse made this choice because Gerrard, Alonso and Sissoko are all defensive stalwarts in the middle, and it will be difficult for Robben to make a difference even if he cuts inside to the middle.

However, Risse still underestimated Robben, Robben saw Risse let him go, and he decisively cut diagonally into the middle with the ball and attacked Liverpool's penalty area directly.

Sissoko rushed over to intercept, but was flashed by Robben sideways with the ball, at this time, Robben's speed with the ball had slowed down, Alonso made up again, ready to wrap Robben with Sissoko, but at this time Robben shot directly with his feet.

After cutting inside on the side, the banana ball shoots into the back corner of the goal, which is Robben's usual trick, but because the goalkeeper's position at this time is almost close to the side of Robben's cut, so when Robben shoots with his feet, whether he scores or not often depends on the quality of Robben's shots.

Arjen Robben's shot was fast, Reyna quickly crossed the back corner and jumped up to make a save, but he was halfway up before the ball flew off the bottom line against the back post.

When it fell, Reyna broke out in a cold sweat, and if this shot hit the right angle, he would definitely not be able to save.

With Robben's threatening shot, Risse didn't dare to put Robben inside the cut, but Robben's threat is here, he can cut inside to shoot, and he can also cross the bottom, the key is that his speed is extremely fast, although Risse is strong, but he suffers a lot in speed, a minute later, Robben regained his old tricks on the side, Richie moved laterally to mark, Robben buckled back and accelerated to the bottom, and crossed with his feet unguarded.

Drogba still grabbed the landing point under the cover of the two central defenders, but Liverpool's defense was strong, Drogba could only call the ball, not call the header, and the ball deflected off the left post.

Robben's back-to-back play on the right flank has made Benitez feel uneasy, as Chelsea's midfield is also on the verge of a resurgence after Robben's breakthrough and the link with the right flank.

If there is no Chen Yu, Benitez can only watch dryly, it is impossible to change people in more than 20 minutes, he has to wait until the end of the halftime at most, let Cen Deng play, but now Benitez has Chen Yu, an all-round warrior, and he is a good hand there, Benitez is very comfortable, he immediately beckoned Chen Yu and Aurelio to change positions, and continued to use Chen Yu to restrain Robben.

Chelsea's luck today was indeed quite bad, Chen Yu had just switched to the right and played against Robben, Ballack gave Robben a high ball, Robben jumped up and competed with Chen Yu for a header.

After returning from injury, Chen Yu's body has not yet reached its peak state, and now his speed is comparable to Robben, but Chen Yu's header ability is much stronger than Robben, although this ball is passed by Barak to Robben, but Chen Yu's judgment of the landing point is better than Robben, and the timing and height of his jump also exceed Robben, Chen Yu almost knocked Robben into the air and gave the ball to Gerrard.

Robben had an ankle injury, he was hit by Chen Yu and lost his balance, and he twisted his injured foot again, and when Gerrard launched a long pass attack, Robben lay on the ground and didn't get up.

The referee saw that Robben did not get up for a long time, so he blew the whistle to stop the game, signaling the team doctor and the stretcher to come on the field.

Robben's ankle was already swollen when he was carried down, Mourinho's face became more and more gloomy after seeing it, he looked at the bench, Shevchenko lowered his head and played with his mobile phone, little Wright looked at him expectantly, looking eager to try, Mourinho was even more angry, he snorted heavily and beckoned to little Wright.

Wright Jr. almost jumped up with excitement, it was an honor and an opportunity to play in such a powerful conversation that the world was watching, knowing that he still had European footballer Shevchenko sitting next to him, and it was not easy to get such an opportunity. "Philippe, you go up, play Robben's position, pass the ball more, contact Gerrard Ballack in the middle more, and besides, dragging Chen is a victory."

Jose Mourinho simply ordered Wright Jr. to send him on the pitch.

This substitution is destined to cause controversy, because Shevchenko's sitting on the bench has already made many people question Mourinho's approach, and now that the striker is injured, Shevchenko does not even have a chance to be a substitute, not to mention that Shevchenko's fans and supporters do not agree, even neutrals will feel that this is a madman's personal vendetta in the communiqué.

The commentator at the scene was very surprised: "Little Wright is on the field? Robben's speed and body can't compete with Chen, and Little Wright is one size weaker than Robben, can he do it? Why not go to the Ukrainian nuclear warhead, spend tens of millions of pounds to let him be a cheerleader? ”

Although Abu is in Romania at the moment, he is not at all unconcerned about this world-renowned game, he has been watching live TV, seeing Robben play, Wright Jr. playing, and his beloved Shevchenko still has no chance, Abu turned off the TV, turned around and threw the door out of the hotel.

Of course, the people in the stadium, including Mourinho, did not know about this scene in Eastern Europe, thousands of miles away, and they were all attracted by the tension on the pitch at the moment, and they had no time to pay attention to other things.

After Robben left the field, Chen Yu became more active, when Robben was there, Chen Yu still had to worry about his counterattack, and a lot of energy was consumed in the confrontation with Robben, but after Robben went off, Chelsea's attack power further declined, Chen Yu did not have too many defensive tasks, and turned over in the front court of Chelsea, setting off an offensive storm.

In the 24th minute, Chen Yu made a long diagonal pass on the right side, Crouch stopped the ball on his chest and entered the penalty area, and shot from 10 yards from the goal, the ball was blocked by central defender Essien in time, and Cech flew under him.

In the 26th minute, Chen Yu dribbled the ball horizontally on the side, and the ball hit the goal with a heavy cannon at 28 meters, and the ball flew out of the bottom line against the goalpost.

Chen Yu then cut off Ballack's pass to Frank Lampard in midfield, and after connecting three people in the middle, he passed straight to Sissoko, which was a one-on-one opportunity, but Sissoko went wide and was destroyed by a flying tackle from Essien, who had a large range of activities.

Sissoko slapped his hands on the ground in frustration after missing the chance to seal the score, but Liverpool's team-mates were very lenient with him, after all, he was only a defensive player.

Chen Yu wants to break through at the moment, pass the ball if he wants to pass, shoot when he wants to shoot, it's like no one's land, Gerrard and Alonso are in the backfield at the moment, but there is a Chen Yu in the front court but no one can cure it, the only one in Mourinho's heart who can keep an eye on Chen Yu's Essien is fixed in the position of central defender and can't leave, Mikel is much more immature than Chen Yu, this game has been played many times, Ballack is too old, the speed can't keep up at all, Chen Yu's range of activities in the front court is huge, Chelsea is helpless, can only adopt the tactics of encirclement, pursuit, interception and foul play against Chen Yu, hoping to curb Chen Yu's play.
