Chapter 1106: Attack its weakness
Conceding a goal at the beginning of the second half was a great blow to Liverpool, all the Liverpudlians were caught off guard, they were originally determined to use defensive counter-attacking tactics to consume Chelsea, now that the score is behind, this tactic can not continue, thinking that Chelsea's defensive counterattack is also strong, Liverpudlian's mood is heavy.

Although Benitez's mood is also very heavy, he is not panicked, fighting with a team like Chelsea, all kinds of situations must be taken into account, Benitez is not so arrogant, thinking that Chelsea cannot beat Liverpool, and there is a plan to deal with the score and when it is behind.
"Substitution! Initiation of the second set of programs. ”
Benitez gave orders to McDonoff, the tactical analysis coach next to him.
McDonoff was involved in the tactical design of the game, and knowing who Benitez was going to replace, he called Crouch off the bench and asked him to warm up and prepare to be replaced.
Crouch has been sullen sitting on the bench before, he is very convinced of Chen Yu's starter, admitting his absolute main position, but does not think that he is worse than Kuyt, he is not convinced that Kuyt occupies the main position, in the pre-game training, he was used as a striker who counterattacked after falling behind, from the bottom of his heart he didn't know whether to hope that the team should be behind or ahead, seeing the tactical coach McDonoff call him, Crouch rubbed up from the bench, agreed, and quickly ran to the sidelines to warm up.
Seeing that Crouch got the opportunity to play, the other substitute players showed envy, jealousy and hatred on their faces, if they can play well in such a focus battle, even if they can't be famous, they still hope to take the lead in the competition of the main force, but I don't know if they have the opportunity to play.
Five minutes later, Crouch came on in place of Pennant and Liverpool fielded a front three to launch a fierce comeback against Chelsea.
Liverpool's 433 formation in attack was a change from Chelsea's formidable midfield.
From the midfield alone, more specifically, from the position of the back alone, Chelsea is the strongest team in the Premier League and even in the world, Makelele, Mikel, Essien are one of the best midfielders in the world, Liverpool is too difficult to break Chelsea's defense from the middle, so Benitez decided to start from the two wings, Chen Yu is easy to be defended in the middle, and on the side, it is impossible for any Chelsea fullback to defend him.
Chen Yu put the breakthrough point on the right side of Chelsea, where Brazilian defender Belletti was stationed.
Belletti is the main defender of the 02 World Cup in Brazil, in Villarreal in the 0203 season, in Barcelona in the 0405 season, and transferred to Chelsea last season, Mourinho values his ability to assist on the right side, but now Belletti's peak has passed, the advantages of strong assists are no longer prominent, and the weaknesses of weak defense are more obvious, and Ashley on the left side. Cole is Chelsea's weakness, but Chelsea have no better option at the moment unless Essien plays at right-back, but now that Essien has not returned from the Africa Cup of Nations, Grant can only entrust Belletti with a heavy responsibility.
Seeing Liverpool change lineup and Chen Yu pulled to the left side, Grant understood Benitez's intentions, which was to use Liverpool's strongest point to hit Chelsea's weakest point, "Despicable!" Grant let out a low scold, but he also knew that if he were Liverpool's manager, he would do the same thing as Benitez.
Belletti can't prevent Chen Yu is 100 percent, even if it's Ashley. Kerr is also unstoppable, and both Grant and Belletti are well aware of this, and after Liverpool's change of formation, Grant also immediately made tactical adjustments, allowing Lampard to move closer to Belletti and assist Belletti in defending Chen Yu.
Seeing Grant's quick reaction and not giving himself a little bit to single-handedly against Belletti, Chen Yu secretly admired Grant's thoughtfulness and decisive action, and he really didn't get to the top by luck.
Frank Lampard's proximity to the flanks strengthened Chelsea's defence, Lampard's strength is undoubted, and Belletti is also old and strong, and the combination of the two, no one wants to break easily.
But Chen Yu is Chen Yu, since he decided to open the gap from here, he doesn't care how many people defend in front of him.
Just two minutes after the substitution, Liverpool won the ball and the ball was immediately passed to Liverpool's winger Chen Yu.
When the ball was passed to Chen Yu, Chelsea's defense was very complete, many people thought that Liverpool would pass the ball in the midfield, and then wait for Chelsea to have a loophole before launching, but Liverpool's left full-back Reese did not think so, his friendship with Chen Yu was not very tacit, but he also knew Chen Yu's temper, that is, knowing that there was a tiger in the mountain to favor the tiger mountain, he immediately stepped forward, ready to meet Chen Yu.
Reese is well-intentioned, when Chen Yu forced to break through the side defense, he was stopped by Lampard and Belletti when he was close to the side of the penalty area, Chen Yu was going to rush over and create a foul on Chelsea, and when he couldn't break through the bottom, it was good to get a free kick in front of him, and it would be better if he could make the opponent a red card, with his speed, it would be difficult to stop him without fouling.
However, Chen Yu was about to burst forward when the corner of his eye swept to Rieser, Chen Yu was happy, but he did not rush to pass the ball, but snorted the ball behind Lampard when he was about to make a tackle, and he jumped up and fell backwards when Lampard's foot was about to reach him.
Although Chen Yu did this action quickly, no matter how fast it was, it was impossible to completely dodge it, but he just made a buffer, and after falling to the ground, Chen Yu did not hold his legs and cry as before, but gritted his teeth and waited to see how Reese would deal with the ball he passed.
Reese was ready to receive the ball before Chen Yu passed, and after the ball came over, Reese did not stop moving, he believed that Chen Yu would not be injured, so he did not want to lose a chance to perform.
Reese picked the ball forward and sped up to force his way past Chen, Frank Lampard and Belletti.
Reese's actions were not affected by Chen Yu's fall to the ground in the slightest, but the actions of several Chelsea players hesitated, their psychological pressure was high, and it was inevitable that they would think too much at this time, and as a result, Reese took the lead.
Riser almost burst past Belletti in a space that could not be missed, and Belletti didn't hold it, and Riser went straight to the bottom line.
At this time, the cooperation of Chen Yu and Reese completely tore apart Chelsea's side, and Chelsea couldn't remedy it, so they could only quickly organize players to guard the middle and watch the players who grabbed points in the middle of Liverpool.
Although this is a helpless move, it is because Chelsea's defensive strength in the box and in the middle is strong, and it is not afraid of Liverpool's simple tactics of wide crosses and outflanking in the middle.
Reese crossed the bottom, because there was no interference from the defenders, Reese had a good vision when he crossed, he was almost aiming at Gerrard in front of the pass, but Chelsea's central defense was really strong, Liverpool's forward players were stared at one by one when they approached the penalty area, Gerrard didn't even touch the ball under the close defense of Makelele, if it wasn't for the Liverpool winger Kuyt, who was outflanked at the back point, reacted half a beat slower, just to throw off the defenders and arrive, This side breakthrough of Riser and Chen Yu may not even have a little effect.
Kuyt's attention just now was on Chen Yu like the Chelsea players, so that he was a step slower, but because Chen Yu passed not Crouch, but the player who stepped forward, so the crooked hit was grabbed by Kuyt.
Because Reese was not looking for the back point, Kuyt's header was close to the line of the penalty area, and the power of such a header was so poor that it barely caused a little trouble for goalkeeper Cech, who saved the ball under him with an easy flying pounce.
Chen Yu fell to the ground and was also paying attention to Reese's cross and Liverpool's grabbing point, seeing such a good bottom cross like this, Chen Yu was very dissatisfied, he got up and gave Reese a middle finger.
Reese was also embarrassed and said, "They defend too well, I've done my best." ”
Chen Yu smiled bitterly: "Just do your best, Chelsea's defense is not so easy to break." ”
Reese saw that Chen Yu was still sitting on the ground and didn't get up, and said, "Are you okay?" ”
Chen Yu jumped up and said, "What's the matter, go back and defend quickly." ”
It turned out that in the gap between Riser and Chen Yu's words, Cech had already kicked the ball forward as fast as he could, launching a quick counterattack.
There is Drogba in the middle, and the legend of Petr's big foot is in the middle, allowing the monster Drogba to face Carragher and Aager directly.
Carragher and Aager are also strong central defenders, but they still can't compare with Drogba, and the two of them still can't grab this big-foot pass when they interfere together, and the ball is still ferried by Drogba to his teammate Ballack.
Didier Drogba could actually give both Joe Cole and Ballack, with Frank Lampard just assisting in defence and not being able to keep up with the pace of the counter-attack.
Drogba took into account that Ballack had just scored and was in good shape, so he passed to Ballack, hoping that he would make another long-range shot.
Because Ballack had just scored, Liverpool took extra care of Ballack's defense, and before Ballack could touch the pass, Mascherano rushed over and lowered his head to the ball that Drogba was ferrying.
Ballack was going to stop the ball with his chest, but at this time he could only point the ball forward with his head and get rid of Mascherano before speaking.
Mascherano was cunning, although he was shaken by Ballack, he pulled Ballack when he rushed over, so that Ballack was half a beat slower when he went to grab the ball again, and Ballack was unable to touch the ball, and the ball was snatched by Carragher and kicked forward.
