Chapter 1033: Small Victory
Seeing the ball bounce on the goalpost and fly into the net, Chen Yu jumped up from a carp on the turf, ran quickly to the stands, and shook his fist at the fans in the stands, letting out a roar of rage. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
This is at Blackburn's home stadium, although Chen Yu did not make such a celebration to the home team fans, but his exaggerated way still made the Blackburn fans very angry, Blackburn fans are as strong as his players, they almost booed Chen Yu in unison, and many fans also threw debris downward.
It can be seen that Chen Yu wants to win today, and his mental state is also very good, it turns out that he rarely cares about the opponent's fans, but today he disdainfully raised two fingers at the Blackburn fans and made a victory gesture.
This made the Blackburn fans even angrier, and the boos became louder, and the boos never stopped when Chen Yu took the ball after that.
Liverpool's players didn't expect to score at all, and it seemed that the cooperation to Chen Yu had just begun, and it was not the time to finish, but suddenly the goal was scored, and the Liverpool players forgot to celebrate for the first time, and they were all stunned there, until the cheers of the fans in the stands woke them up.
"Chen Yu!"
"Chen!"
"You're amazing!"
"What a fork!"
……
The Liverpool players rushed to the stands and hugged Chen Yu tightly, and the excitement and excitement in their hearts were comparable to scoring a goal.
Gerard stopped Chen Yu's shoulder and said, "Why did you?" ”
Chen Yu smiled and said, "If you don't shoot, you won't have a chance, I just gave it a try, but I didn't expect to get in." ”
Gerrard couldn't help but shake his head and said, "It's really lucky, even I didn't dare to shoot in that position." ”
Chen Yu smiled and said, "I also feel that my luck is not bad, Gerrard, you also have to shoot a few more shots to find a feeling." ”
Gerrard shrugged: "You can't just find this, this game is not easy, we need to continue to work hard in the second half." ”
Chen Yu smiled and said, "It's not enough for us to work hard, we have to cooperate with the opponent." ”
Gerard laughed and said, "It's okay, if the opponent doesn't cooperate, we have to fight them to cooperate." ”
On the commentary bench on the sidelines, the Chinese commentator Duan Xuan had already begun to cheer, like a fan, "Ah! it! I actually entered! Chen Yu! Awesome! Awesome, Chen Yu! This is no ordinary! It is estimated that Blackburn's goalkeeper Friedel has been beaten stupidly, such a goal can be scored, except for God standing in front of the goal, everyone else will be given for nothing! Chen Yu, you are really the pride of the Chinese! Now, including me, I'm eager to see you play for the Chinese team, not for anything else, but to see what the muddy Chinese team will look like when you join. ”
Richard, the commentator of "Sky Sports" who is in charge of the live broadcast today, is extremely complicated, he is an admirer of extreme English football, he looks down on Chinese players, Sun Hai was hacked by him when he was in Manchester City, and Chen Yu was also extremely unoptimistic about him when he first came, but now Chen Yu's performance really made him look sideways, in the face of such a goal, Richard sighed helplessly: "What an incredible goal!" Chen has shown football skills that surpass the race! This is not something that a Chinese player can do, today he is definitely possessed by God! ”
Blackburn head coach Mark Hughes on the sidelines stomped his feet urgently, he admired and feared Chen Yu, if Chen Yu was Blackburn's player, Mark Hughes would definitely rush into the field to hug him, but now Mark Hughes hated to kill Chen Yu with a pistol, this Chinese is too terrifying, there are such people in Liverpool's team, Mark Hughes can't see a little hope of winning, but this is Blackburn's home field, even if it is bound to lose, it must not lose, otherwise, if it is abandoned by its own fans, The game will be difficult to play in the future.
"Offense, offense! Press it up! Press it on me! ”
Mark Hughes yelled at his players, asking the players to press up and attack, no matter whether they win or lose, Blackburn can't lose this courage, Blackburn is not strong, there are not many stars, they can play such a result, relying on this fighting spirit that never admits defeat and the courage to not be afraid of strong opponents.
In fact, there is no need for Mark Hughes to say, Blackburn's players are crazy to press the attack, this blood has grown in their blood, no matter what kind of opponent they face, they want to beat them.
Blackburn's offense is not smooth, and there is no mature routine, both on the side and in the middle, and sometimes the individual ability of the star is used to get the opportunity to attack, but with the efforts of all the players, the offensive should not be underestimated, although Liverpool has not been disrupted, but can only avoid its edge first, step by step back to their own half, waiting for the end of the first half.
Blackburn Rovers had a succession of chances to shoot, and in the 43rd minute, Pederson and Santa Cruz headed in succession, and Bentley's low left-footed shot from the edge of the box hit the outside of the right-hand post.
It was one of Blackburn's most dangerous shots of the first half, and the Blackburn fans sighed in unison as they thought it had scored, but luck wasn't on their side.
Then Blackburn continued to attack Liverpool's goal, but because they had just hit the post, Blackburn's players were a little impatient, lost their coolness when shooting, and even failed to create such a good chance as hitting the post, and finally could only end the first half with a 0:1 disadvantage.
Then the first half ended, and the players of both sides went back to the dressing room to rest.
Because the technical and tactical play of both sides is relatively strong, although the first half of the game is not a lot of wonderful scenes, but it is very tense and intense, the attention and spirit of the fans have been firmly attracted to the game, now the game is half-time, the fans just go to the toilet, replenish some water, buy some snacks, waiting for the start of the more intense second half of the game.
The break passed quickly and both players came out of the dressing room, with neither Mark Hughes nor Rafa Benitez making any changes to their starting line-ups, and they played the second half with the same team.
While there were no changes to the personnel, there were some changes to the positioning of the Liverpool players in the first half, with their midfield positioning changing to a diamond shape and Gerrard returning to the forward midfield position he has made famous for.
Such a change is obviously due to the fact that Liverpool played too passively in the second half of the first half, and Benitez hoped that Gerrard could play more for Chen Yu after returning to the front court and give full play to Chen Yu's finishing ability.
Benitez set up the strange practice of double back waist with bilateral forward defenders at the beginning, and did not set up the front waist, so that Chen Yu can flexibly retreat to the position of the front waist, the front can be attacked, and the retreat can be defended, but in an attack-oriented team, unless one of the two backs can jump out of the "back" and play a positive and aggressive offensive posture, the scene may be better, if the defense is the mainstay, it will make both sides feel bored. Unfortunately, Benitez played this boring tactic, and what was even more unfortunate was that because Liverpool's wing was restricted again, the Blackburn players in the middle could shrink and pinch Chen Yu, and Liverpool fell behind on the road.
Now Benitez has put Gerrard back in the midfield position, Chen Yu is fixed in the forward line, Gerrard has passed him cannonballs in the back, and Kuyt next to him can also make the ball for him.
Rafael Benitez once said: "Kuyt is an amazing worker, he brings a lot to the team, and sooner or later he will be able to get into the role of shooting and scoring." "The worker is a standard answer to Kuyt, a compliment to the Dutchman who runs before and after, but as a striker, Kuyt's main responsibility is to shoot and score, and if he doesn't have this ability, no matter how he can run, people will remember his stunned shots in front of the goal and flying out of bounds.
But Kuyt's ability to do the ball outside the penalty area at the same time cannot be ignored, which requires a striker with strong shooting ability near the penalty area who can hit the ball made by Kuyt into the goal, such a candidate can only be Chen Yu, so when encountering Blackburn's ferocious pressing, Benitez let Gerrard return to the forward position and let Chen Yu fix the position of the center forward.
Liverpool's fine-tuning of the formation has also changed the situation on the field, because Chen Yu's ability to break the goal is too strong, he stands in the middle of the penalty area, Blackburn's two central defenders dare not move forward half a step, and Blackburn's back also has to shrink and suppress Chen Yu's activity space, otherwise even the two central defenders may not be able to defend Chen Yu, because Gerrard may be inserted at any time, if Blackburn's back forward pressure and assist can not come back, Gerrard and Chen Yu formed a two-on-two situation, which is a nightmare for Blackburn.
Blackburn's midfielders and two centre-backs were nailed, and their attacking ability in the middle was almost completely frozen, and they could only rely on the wings, but Liverpool's wide side was suppressed by Blackburn in the first half, and Reese and Finnan were annoyed, and now they are strong and completely dominate against Blackburn's two wings.
Blackburn head coach Mark Hughes quickly discovered this problem, and his face immediately became grim, if this situation continues, with Liverpool's attacking power, Blackburn will be difficult to defend his goal, if Liverpool scores another goal, Blackburn will lose today.
"No! You have to change your tactics or you'll lose! Mark Hughes made a decision very quickly, he replaced Nelson and replaced midfielder Tugai, and asked Tugai to keep an eye on Chen Yu.
At the beginning, Mark Hughes didn't want to use the marking tactics, that was because Chen Yu's range of activities was too large, and he couldn't prevent it at all, destroying the formation in vain, but now Chen Yu is fixed in the middle of the penalty area, so Chen Yu can mark people to defend, because what the players who mark people have to do is not to let Chen Yu take the ball, but to delay the time when Chen Yu takes the ball and dribbles, Chen Yu is in the middle, even if it is delayed for one second or two seconds, other players can immediately wrap up and defend Chen Yu, so that Chen Yu can not break through and shoot.
Mark Hughes's tactical response was very timely, after Tugai came on the field, Chen Yu was quickly frozen, Blackburn's back and backfield players quickly became active, and the attack in the middle improved again, driven by the middle, the side also began to be active, and the whole Blackburn came alive.
In the 52nd minute, Santa Cruz headed back in the middle, and Blackburn's midfielder Dunn quickly followed, and a left-footed volley from 25 yards out hit the bottom edge of the crossbar.
Dunn's shot didn't score, but it boosted the morale of the Blackburn Rovers players again, and the Blackburn players then rallied back to the cheers of the fans.
In the 54th minute, Pedelsen's quick cross from the left was met by Samba's volley from 16 yards, but Reeser desperately used his body to block the ball off the line.
Bentley then whipped in a corner from the right and McCarthy headed high from 12 yards under the cover of Santa Cruz.
In the 58th minute, Santa Cruz and McCarthy played a two-on-two, Santa Cruz quickly cut into the penalty area, Carragher helplessly reached out and pulled down Santa Cruz, was yellow carded, Blackburn got a free kick opportunity, but McCarthy's free kick hit the wall and bounced out.
In the 65th minute, Liverpool had an easy chance to counterattack, Kuyt followed Chen Yu's pass on the right side to get rid of Dunn and cut directly into the penalty area, but he missed the best time to pass, Chen Yu ran forward, Gerrard did not follow, and the ball Friedel confiscated.
In the 70th minute, Benitez saw that Blackburn Rovers were attacking more and more fiercely, so he replaced the young Babel with Colwill to strengthen the control of the game.
Although Liverpool's attack power has improved after replacing Colwill, and Chen Yu's threat has not weakened, time is running out, and Blackburn can't take care of defense at this time and attack with all his might.
In the 75th minute, Bentley headed in a corner from the right and Santa Cruz nodded the ball away, goalkeeper Reyna was already empty, but Blackburn defender Oyer's shot from six yards was again blocked by Carragher with his legs.
Bentley then whipped in a corner from the left and Santa Cruz had another chance to shoot, heading just over the post from six yards out. In the 79th minute, Emmorton shot wide from distance.
In the 82nd minute, Benitez saw Santa Cruz ravaging Liverpool's penalty area, and he had to replace Kuyt with Crouch to strengthen the defense, and this substitution also meant that Liverpool was ready to strengthen the defense and hold the score of 1:0.
However, the more prepared they were to defend, the more good chances Liverpool got to score. In the 87th minute, Chen Yu faced the close defensive backheel of the Blackburn defender, Gerrard quickly struck and fired a powerful shot from 14 yards on the left side of the penalty area, but it was saved by Friedel bravely.
In the 90th minute, Reeser took a corner from the left and Crouch headed in from 10 yards, Blackburn goalkeeper Fridel was out of options, but the ball was blocked by defender Oyer on the goal line.
At this time, the fourth official signaled for 4 minutes of stoppage time.
It was the final four minutes and Blackburn launched the final frantic comeback.
In the 91st minute, McCarthy passed the ball and Dunn fired wide of the left post from 30 yards. In the 93rd minute, Santa Cruz headed the ball, and McCarthy's powerful shot from the edge of the middle of the box was saved by Friedel bravely.
In the last minute of stoppage time, Liverpool got a chance to counterattack, Crouch headed in the penalty area, Chen Yu ran wildly to Blackburn's half with the ball on the left side of his penalty area, all the Blake players followed the chase at this moment, but after crossing the center circle, all the players gave up, watching Chen Yu single-handedly challenge goalkeeper Friedel, but in the face of Friedel, Chen Yu's oblique shot from 10 yards in the middle of the penalty area was magically off the far corner. In the end, Liverpool beat Blackburn Rovers by 1 goal, ending Blackburn's impressive record of 7 consecutive wins (4 consecutive league wins).
