Chapter 959: Mourinho's demagogy

The midfield is far away from the penalty areas of both sides, the competition here is very fierce, and the action is relatively large, but there is more than one fierce, not enough exciting, because your wonderful action has not been done, the opponent even pulled and pushed you down, if there is no danger of injury, at most it is a free kick, for technical players, near the penalty area is a good place to display their talents.

Fans are not fighting fans, and the hand-to-hand combat in the midfield naturally feels boring after watching it for a long time, and they all hope to have smooth cooperation and wonderful passing, just like Chen Yu did before, so fans on both sides began to chant the names of their idols, hoping that their superstars can give a little bit of strength, and score another one to break the draw.

However, it has reached the final stage of the first half, and the players on both sides have been attacking and defending for an unknown number of rounds, whether in terms of the situation of the game, mental state, or physical fitness, they do not support them to launch a fierce attack, both sides are still entangled in the midfield, and no one can threaten the opponent's goal anymore.

Force! Force! Force......

With two short and one long three whistles, the first half of the game was over, and the referee Webber wiped the sweat from his forehead, secretly calling the law enforcement giants duel looked beautiful, but in fact it was no less than a 90-minute torment.

Although the fans didn't see the goal again in the end, the two goals in the half were also very good, especially the big battle between Liverpool and Chelsea, before Chen Yu's arrival, many times it was a score of 1:0 or 0:0, and they all gave applause to the players to thank them for their wonderful performances.

The score was 1:1, and the two sides were evenly matched, but the mood of the coaches and players on both sides was completely different.

Liverpool equalized when they were one goal behind, and Chen Yu repeatedly performed brilliantly in the game, playing Chelsea's Terry, Essien, and Mikel, which greatly improved the confidence and morale of Liverpool's players, and the players almost went back to the dressing room to rest with a winner's mentality.

Chelsea, on the contrary, led by one goal, but was equalized by Chen Yu with an incredible volley, they were very unconvinced, the score was flat, but the game scene was not good, especially the players who were played by Chen Yu, there was a sense of humiliation in their hearts, and when they returned to the locker room, their expressions were also ugly, they all lowered their heads, hurried by, and no one responded to the cheering and encouragement of the fans.

Home team dressing room

Benitez hugged the players one by one, thanked them for their efforts, and then Benitez briefly reviewed the mistakes made by the players in the game, pointed out the problems that needed to be paid attention to in the second half, and simply said that after five or six minutes, Benitez let the players have a good rest.

In the away dressing room, Mourinho pulled a long face and did not shake hands with any player or speak to any player.

After reading the tactical notes in his hand for a moment, Mourinho said: "At Hell Stadium Anfield, the score of 1:1 should be acceptable, but why am I not happy......

Mourinho glanced at all the players, no one answered, the players who bowed their heads continued to bow their heads, and the players who raised their heads also lowered their heads after Mourinho's gaze swept over.

“…… Because our efforts are not enough, because from the perspective of the field, we should be the backward side, although this is an away game, but for the giants, there should not be a home and away difference, here, our fans have also given us enough support, so why are we so ugly, why do we create far less goal chances than the opponent? Drogba, are you much worse than Chen Yu? Frank Lampard, did you still surpass Steven Gerrard in your international team today? John Terry, who exactly is the number one centre-back in the Premier League, Ashley Cole, tell me, who is the best full-back in the world? Petr Cech, do you want to be number one in the world, look at how many of our starting 11 are the best in the world, or one of the best, and why can't we do better than Liverpool? It's because we don't work hard enough! You may say, we've tried, we've tried our best, no! It's not enough, because when you're trying, your opponent is working hard, so if we want to win, we have to work twice as hard, it's an eternal law......"

Mourinho was silent for a while, and then said: "I don't want to talk about tactics today, among the top four, we have played the most against Liverpool, tactics are what we said before, and what we said before this game, nothing has changed, what I want to talk about today is attitude, it is spirit, after Manchester United has won in a row, we and Liverpool both want to win, and what we need to win is not technology, but a champion's heart, what I want to tell you is that any great champion is not because they have the best technology, It is not because they are beyond ordinary talents, the most important thing is to have an invincible soul, and the most important thing is that when they face the biggest difficulties and setbacks in life, they can still hold their heads high, face the difficulties in life, bravely overcome difficulties, and constantly surpass themselves, these are the qualities that must be possessed to become a champion, in the second half, I hope to be able to see these spirits, not timid, timid, hesitant......"

Mourinho's speech is very contagious and demagogic, much stronger than Benitez and Arsene Wenger, and in world football, Ferguson can compare with him.

The morale of the Chelsea players was still a little low, after Mourinho spoke, the low morale was swept away, especially the players who were named by Mourinho, their eyes were full of enthusiasm, they are no longer afraid of the strength of the opponent, and they no longer think about Anfield, they are all eager to fight, yes, it is to fight, just like Liverpool's legendary coach Shankly said, football is not about life and death, but football is higher than life and death. Chelsea's players have now turned this game into a battle and they are going to face Liverpool here.

The 15-minute break passed quickly and the players from both sides came out of the dressing room to start the 45-minute battle of the second half.

Liverpool's players have not yet kicked off, they feel that the opponent has changed compared with the first half, their eyes and walking posture are releasing a murderous aura, after the kickoff, they found that the opponent has really changed, the pressing after the opening is more fierce and decisive than the first half, everyone is chasing Liverpool's team carrier like a mad dog, if it is a Chelsea player who loses the ball, even if the striker loses the ball, they will always follow the pursuit until they get the ball back.

Benitez was quick to notice this change in the Chelsea players, he didn't know what kind of magic Mourinho used, this madman is always able to squeeze the potential of his players, Benitez was a little worried, because with the quality of the players on both sides being almost the same, Chelsea's fighting spirit is so strong that it is likely to change the situation on the pitch and thus the outcome of the game.

Benitez judged well, the Liverpool players on the field were shocked by the momentum of the Chelsea players, the technical and tactical play was not as smooth as the first half, and the scene gradually got out of control, five minutes later, Mourinho replaced Kalou and replaced Pizarro, and ten minutes later, the Chelsea players controlled the midfield, cutting the Liverpool midfielders into pieces, and could no longer play together.

Liverpool's players are also veterans of the battlefield, and when they saw that the situation was not good, they could not compete with the Chelsea players, so they immediately gave up the midfield, retreated to the 30-meter area, stuck to the penalty area, and waited for the opponent's evil spirit to pass.

Benitez couldn't think of any good way for a while, seeing the players take the initiative to retreat, he also felt that it was better to recycle, Chelsea's current state of playing chicken blood can't last too long, and it's not too late to fight back after this formation.

The commentator on the scene originally thought that the beginning of the second half would be as dull as the first half, and it would not be tense until 70 minutes later, or a certain side would score first and break the deadlock, so that the game would be good-looking, but he didn't expect the game to be like this at the beginning, he exclaimed: "The big showdown is really unusual, Chelsea played a winning momentum at the beginning, look at this spirit, look at this iron-blooded spirit, Mourinho is really awesome, this training ability, if you don't accept it, you can't do it, Let's see how Benitez responds, it's like playing chess, Mourinho made a clever move and gained the upper hand, if Benitez doesn't deal with it properly, I'm afraid this game will be lost. ”

Almost everyone thought that Chelsea's offensive and such pressing would not last long, but Chelsea's performance was surprisingly long-lasting, with wave after wave, cross from the side, long pass from the middle, and constantly hit the ball into Liverpool's penalty area.

Liverpool was still preparing to defend and counterattack, but seeing such tension at the back, Chen Yu and Kuyt had to retreat to defend near the penalty area.

Chen Yu even returned to the penalty area to assist Drogba, Drogba has good strength, Chen Yu's feet are fast and fast, under his assistance, Drogba lost several balls, and his power was greatly reduced.

Of course, Chelsea's attack is by no means just Drogba, Pizarro's simplicity and breakthrough, the insertion of the back row of the midfield, and the long-range shots of Essien, Lampard and others, can give Liverpool a fatal blow, Drogba was seen to death by Chen Yu, and the offensive of others rose again, and the danger of Liverpool's goal was not reduced at all.

Looking at the 65th minute of the game, Chelsea's offensive momentum has not weakened at all, Benitez can't hold his breath, if he doesn't make any moves, I'm afraid that Chelsea will not run out, and Liverpool's goal will be attacked first.

Benitez made a substitution, Babel, who is 1.85 meters tall, came on and replaced Pennant, who is 1.70 meters, and now the technical flow has been robbed and conceded again and again, Benitez must change to a strong midfielder and fight with Chelsea hand-to-hand.

However, Liverpool's overall disadvantage, only replacing a young Babbel could not change the game at all, and Babbel could still get the ball at first, but soon disappeared from everyone.

The midfielders couldn't keep the ball, the strikers came back to defend and lost the ability to counter-attack, and Liverpool's situation was getting worse and worse, and it seemed that it was only a matter of time before they conceded.

This is the first time that Liverpool has been beaten so embarrassed at home since Chen Yu joined Liverpool, and Liverpool's fans couldn't stand it anymore, everyone stood up, waved their arms and sang the team song "You Will Never Go Alone" to cheer for Liverpool's players.

However, at the moment, Liverpool is in a tense defensive state, and even the fans can't listen to the songs, how much does this kind of encouragement do, the encouragement of the fans is also psychological comfort, it is impossible to change the situation of the game, otherwise there will be no strong team and weak team, it is much better than the fans.

Benitez is also a master tactician, he has experienced this situation more than once, he knows very well that the most important thing in this state is not whether he can prevent it, but whether there is a counterattack, if he can't counterattack, it is a matter of time before he concedes the goal, and if there is a counterattack, then the dilemma of being besieged will soon be eased.

Benitez made a quick decision, taking advantage of Chelsea's corner kick, he immediately called Chen Yu to the side, "Chen, don't go to defense!" It's not your responsibility to concede the ball either! Your responsibility is to score goals! Get back to the striker position right away! ”

Chen Yu is also very tired now, mainly because he is too nervous, he yelled at Benitez: "You can't get the ball in front at all!" Is it scary to stand in front of you?! ”

Benitez groaned for a moment, and immediately said: "No matter what position you play, but you must no longer be in the penalty area, you can't play defender!" ”

Chen Yu was stunned for a moment, what kind of order was this Nima, but he immediately understood what Benitez meant, there must be a counterattack, because everyone else is out of control, he must stand up, no matter what way it is.

Chen Yu also calmed down at this time, knowing that it was useless to defend against a Drogba, he still had to attack, and only if he hurt Chelsea, they would go back to defense.

Chen Yu immediately called up the star conversion card in his mind, and bound his consciousness to the alien Ronaldo, what Ronaldo is best at is long-distance running, which is the most applicable at this time, Chen Yu will use Ronaldo's consciousness to help Liverpool turn the predicament and break Chelsea's siege of Liverpool.

Liverpool fans in the stands saw Benitez call Chen Yu to the sidelines, and immediately remembered that Liverpool's savior was none other than this Chinese, and it was useless for them to sing the team song, they had to cheer for this Chinese player and let him save Liverpool.

So under the leadership of Liverpool's die-hard fan organization "Shankly's Soul", Liverpool fans began to chant Chen Yu's name, "Chen Chen Chen ......".

The shouting was like a tsunami, soaring into the sky, and it also shocked the Liverpool players who were preparing to defend, and they all looked at Chen Yu and pinned their hopes on Chen Yu.

At this time, Gerard also received Benitez's order, he came over and hugged Chen Yu, and said, "Chen, leave the defense to us, and the offense is up to you!" ”

Being chanted by tens of thousands of people to his name, Chen Yu's psychology also seemed to be filled with energy, and the feeling of fatigue was swept away, he patted Gerald on the back and said firmly: "Don't worry!" I won't let them run rampant for too long! ”
