Chapter 730: "Battle" (Medium)

Terry lost his position and got a chance to head the ball, but the people around him felt that Drogba and others did not reach this point, and Chen Yu, who thought that he was shorter, had no hope of grabbing this point, but Chen Yu's bounce was very unexpected, he actually hit the ball, although it was only on the top of his head, and the ball flew high off the crossbar.

"Amazing bouncing ability"

"It's like a spring man"

"The point grabbing is excellent"

"Sure enough, he is an all-round striker"

There was a roar of amazement in the stands and in the commentary booth.

Terry was also secretly frightened, he secretly reminded himself and his teammates that the next time he defended Chen Yu, he must be careful of Chen Yu's header, and he must not underestimate his header ability because he is taller than Chen Yu.

And Chen Yu regretted losing this opportunity to compete for the top, if it wasn't for Terry following too closely and pulling his arm, he only needed to step back two meters, and he would be able to hold the ball very comfortably.

Petr Cech kicks the ball straight forward to find his striker Drogba.

Drogba was in the middle of two defenders, but Carragher and Aager couldn't stop one Drogba, and Drogba controlled the header.

Yes, it is to control zhì down, not to ferry out, Carragher and Ag did not dare to foul, Drogba is too strong, he can't feel the small action, the action is too big and it is easy to eat cards, in this position, the free kick is very dangerous, and it is too worthless to eat a yellow card.

Drogba didn't dare to keep the ball more under the attack of Liverpool's two central defenders, and after he took possession, he distributed it to Joe Cole on the wing, who tried the defense on the wing and was very tough, it was difficult to break through, and he hit the ball back to the middle to find Lampard again.

Joe Cole gave the ball to Lampard in the hope that Lampard would shoot straight at goal, but the Liverpool players defended Lampard very tightly, Lampard did not have room to shoot, he passed the ball back to Makelele, and turned forward himself, trying to get rid of Mascherano who was close to him.

Mascherano's main task today is to prevent Lampard's long-range shots, he is young, fit, and focused, how can he be riddled by Lampard, he followed Lampard in hot pursuit, only giving Lampard a step of space, Lampard can receive the ball, but there is absolutely no chance to shoot.

Makelele was going to pass the ball, but seeing Lampard receiving the ball and not having a chance to shoot, the talented midfielder was the best at grasping the opportunity, he decisively gave up his original purpose, took a few quick steps forward, adjusted his pace, and hit the goal directly without waiting for the Liverpool player to block it.

Makelele is not a long-range shooter, but his shot is still a threat when unguarded within 30 yards.

The ball flew fast against the turf to the left side of the goal, and in the process, three Liverpool players tried to intercept with their feet but couldn't get their hands on it.

Liverpool goalkeeper Reyna was very focused, he let out a low "good shot" and flew to pounce.

Reyna pounced steadily, he didn't intend to hold the ball, but directly hit the ball with one palm.

I'd rather give the opponent a corner than give the opponent a chance to shoot.

Reina's handling still made Benitez on the sidelines very satisfied, he nodded approvingly, half relieved, such an important game, the goalkeeper can be so calm, so steady, Liverpool will be much more comfortable in the next game.

A good goalkeeper is equivalent to half a team, this sentence is not a joke, if the goalkeeper dies, no one can fill this big hole.

Mourinho on the other side also nodded secretly, Makellele's shot is not the most correct from the tactical choice, he can organize it again, but from a strategic point of view, Liverpool has just completed a header on goal, morale is strong, Makelele shoots like this is very morale-boosting, morale is very important in the battle, even if your tactics are excellent, no matter how strong your strength is, if the team has no morale, then this game can not be played. Claude Makelle can be called a master at the back, and his understanding of the game is far from that of a player.

Chelsea's first corner.

Liverpool's corner kick was excellent, the tactics played out, the players also grabbed the point, but they couldn't get it right, Chelsea were definitely not to be outdone, they also invested a lot of troops, central defenders Carvalho and John Terry came to the Liverpool box to find the best time to grab the goal.

With Carvalho, John Terry, Didier Drogba and Andriy Shevchenko in the box, Liverpool's players struggled not to get nervous, and almost all of them took it back and went all out to defend the corner.

Chen Yu's defensive task is to stare at Shevchenko, the two know the roots, and the characteristics are somewhat similar, now that Sheva's peak has passed, Chen Yu's defense of him is not a big problem.

Liverpool's corners and free-kicks will certainly not be a question of defending Shevchenko, but more about defending Didier Drogba and John Terry, both of whom are headers, strong and point-takers, and there is no player in the Liverpool squad who can defend both of them one-on-one.

Crouch was too skinny, Agg was too soft, and Benitez could only adopt a two-man defense, with Crouch paired with Carragher to defend Terry, and Aag paired with Finnan to defend Drogba.

Joe Cole took a corner kick, and Liverpool's players from both sides competed in the penalty area, causing a personal back-to-back flip.

Liverpool arranged so tightly that it actually allowed Chelsea to grab the header, or Drogba, the African monster broke away from the defense, rubbed back with a header, and returned the ball to the midfield.

It was a tactical corner for Chelsea, and Liverpool patronized the header of Drogba to the goal, but Drogba did not actually shoot, but turned the ball back to his team-mate from distance.

Naturally, the scorer was none other than Frank Lampard.

Frank Lampard, who was ready to shoot, didn't hesitate to follow up and shoot the ball as it whistled towards goal.

The shot was powerful, but none of the Liverpool players avoided it, and they all tried their best to meet the ball, ready to block Frank Lampard's shot with their own flesh and blood.

With so many players in the box, Liverpool's players boldly met it again, leaving Frank Lampard's shot with no room to fly and hit Crouch in the face.

The ball popped up, and Crouch was staggered to the ground.

The Chelsea players did not stop the game, but rushed to grab the ball and prepared to continue attacking.

Liverpool's players were furious, but they also didn't have time to look after their team-mates and could only defend as fast as they could.

Mikel just got the ball, before he had time to turn around, at this time the fastest Chen Yu had arrived, he was very dissatisfied with Chelsea's behavior, so he did not hesitate to tackle and shovel Mikel to the ground with the ball.

At this time, the referee Merck's whistle sounded, and he stopped the game and showed Chen Yu a yellow card.

Merck's decision left the Liverpudlians furious, with Liverpool fans yelling too hard in the stands and Chinese fans shouting for the referee.

Chinese commentator He Shishi shook his head again and again: "This yellow card is a bit too heavy, Chen Yu obviously wants to interrupt the game, and Merck is a bit too rigid...... Crouch looks like there is no problem, he may have just been stuffed just now, and the activity is good, but Chen Yu suffered a loss from this yellow card, and I hope that Chen Yu will defend a little less later, so as not to eat the card again. ”

Chen Yu received the first yellow card in less than five minutes of the opening game, which together with Chelsea's immoral behavior aroused the anger of the Liverpool players, and when defending Chelsea's free kick next, the players on both sides fought for each other in the penalty area, pushing each other, and before the ball came out, the players fell down several times, so that the referee Merck had to come over many times to adjust, and finally warned Mascherano with a yellow card to make the movements of both sides smaller.

Frank Lampard took the corner himself, but Liverpool defended it well and Chen Yu headed the ball off the touchline with a soaring header.

This free-kick was prevented, but Liverpool received two yellow cards in the opening five minutes, especially Mascherano's, which had a big impact on the defence, and the rest of the game will become difficult to play.

However, at this time, Liverpool's anger is very big, their actions when defending are not small at all, very tough, and there are hidden small actions after the defensive actions, mainly to make the opponent uncomfortable and difficult to swing normally.

But Chelsea players are also masters of chaos, and xIhT is also very powerful, because their players are very strong individually and have the ability to win in chaos.

At the same time, Chelsea's players are also very tough, they will never lose to Liverpool in their own home stadium, not to mention that they have suffered too much loss in the Champions League, and they must get it back this time.

After Mascherano received a yellow card, the Chelsea players were smart enough to strengthen the breakthrough against Mascherano, whether it was Drogba or Mikel, or Joe Cole and Shevchenko, who took the ball and cut inside, they all went straight to Mascherano after taking the ball, the goal was to break Mascherano down.

Mascherano was not soft at all, he was very bold in the face of opponents' breakthroughs, and twice tackled the ball of Joe Cole and Drogba, one of which was obviously the first tackle, but the referee Merck also seemed to feel that the card was a little too much, and only gave Chelsea a free kick, but did not give Mascherano a yellow card.

However, this has made Liverpool's players and coaches a little worried, after all, this is too unsafe, if Chelsea continue to play like this, Mascherano will have problems sooner or later, after all, as a back is dirty work, if Mascherano fouls, the pressure on the back line will become greater.

Liverpool's manager Benitez has long been unable to sit in the dugout, he keeps walking around the sidelines, extremely anxious, at this time to replace Mascherano is obviously too early, the game only played ten minutes, Mascherano played well, if the opponent replaced him because of this against him, it can only be a waste of a substitution. But if you don't change, it's also a very dangerous thing, and a bad one may cause a situation where you can fight more with less.

Fifteen minutes later, Benitez could no longer bear the torment, and with a big swing of his hand, he let his players retreat, shrink the defence, and use dense defense to relieve the pressure on defenders and midfielders, allowing Mascherano to reduce the attack.

Mourinho saw that Liverpool finally couldn't bear it and began to shrink the formation, a smile appeared on his face, just now the players took turns attacking Mascherano is his instruction, his purpose is to kill two birds with one stone, Mascherano's character is very hard, easy to eat cards, if you can beat Mascherano, it is naturally good, if Liverpool can't bear the pressure recovery, this is also a good thing for Chelsea, because Chelsea is not a team that is good at short pass penetration, Liverpool's previous formation, The distance between the three lines is very suitable, Chelsea is difficult to penetrate, the rush does not work, once the ball is lost, it is easy to be counterattacked, and now Liverpool shrinks, Chelsea's headers, impacts, and long-range shots can be played, although Liverpool's defense is very good and the density is very thick, but as long as Chelsea besieges long enough and shoots enough, it is only a matter of time before the goal is broken.

In the 18th minute, Liverpool made a mistake in clearing the penalty area, the ball hit his teammate and popped up, Drogba grabbed the ball and forced it into the penalty area.

Carragher couldn't physically carry the African monster, but he kept following closely, and when Drogba burst into the box to shoot, he decisively tackled, the ball flew out of the bottom line, and Drogba also fell in the penalty area.

"Penalty"

The Chelsea fans in the stands were furious.

However, referee Merck did not say anything and only gave Chelsea a corner.

Because when Drogba burst into the penalty area, Shevchenko had already cut diagonally from the ribs, and he raised his hand to ask Drogba for the ball, but the Ivorian did not pass to Shevchenko, but shot himself, which made Shevchenko very unhappy.

Chelsea's corner also showed its power, Ashley Cole crossed into the box from the left, the monster Drogba was already on the rise, and the Liverpool defenders had no one to control him, this time he headed the ball to Shevchenko on the right side of the box, Shevchenko turned from yards to stop the ball to his team-mate, and Lampard followed with a volley.

It was a clever combination as Frank Lampard's shot was already close to the penalty spot, but Liverpool goalkeeper Reina was brave enough to make a good save, keeping the ball out with his body and Chen Yu clearing the ball with a half-volley barb.

At this moment, the Chelsea players have pressed near the center circle, and the ball cleared by Chen Yu was once again picked up by the Chelsea players, and the ball was hoisted into the penalty area again.

Now Liverpool's defenders are a little numb, they only know how to clear the ball mechanically, they don't have time to think about counter-attacks, and it is difficult to organize counter-attacks under Chelsea's pressure.

Seeing his players playing so hard, Benitez was in a hurry on the sidelines, he shouted the names of Gerrard and Alonso on the sidelines, asking them to control the ball, pass the ball to Chen Yu to counterattack, don't drive the ball to the front court so quickly, there is no one in the front court, and it is equivalent to giving it to Chelsea.

It's not that Gerrard and Alonso don't want to counterattack, nor do they want to give Chen Yu, but now the opponent is pressed to the middle circle, and the half court is densely populated, and they don't have the space to get the ball at all, so they don't get the ball, the opponent's players have arrived, and the pass is a little slower, and the opponent immediately wraps it up, even if they see Chen Yu, it is difficult to pass, because there are many players in the middle, and it is more dangerous in case of being stolen.

Chen Yu saw Liverpool's predicament, but it was difficult for him to intervene, after all, he was only a striker, and he also ate a yellow card, and he didn't dare to defend hard, so he could only wait in front, and now it was too dangerous to see the situation, Chen Yu had to retreat, close to Gerrard and Alonso, hoping to form a joint force with the two of them to break Chelsea's bag and encirclement.
