The 20th round of the Premier League finally began to start with the shouts of tens of thousands of Blues fans and the referee's whistle.

The Blues use a 4-4-2 formation, which is basically the same as Liverpool in terms of formation, except that Liverpool has a clear midfielder, that is, Hamann, while the Blues do not have a clear midfielder, but this also means that Chelsea's four midfielders are all the kind of players who have a certain ability to intercept.

George sat on the bench once again, watching his teammates play on the field, with unspeakable envy in his heart. At present, with Owen returning from injury, Houllier is more likely to use Owen and Litmanen as Liverpool's double striker. Thinking that Husky will be released from the ban and come back soon, and the main striker at that time may not be able to have a chance with him, thinking of this, George couldn't help but feel depressed.

Chelsea are indeed not as strong as Liverpool at this time, but their strength is definitely not to be underestimated. In the seventh minute of the game, Frank Lampard received a long pass from the back, squeezed out Murphy with his strong body, and shot directly from more than 20 yards out of the goal.

The ball flew towards goal like a cannonball, but it was saved by a focused Dudek and Reeser scrambled in front of Gudjohnsen to clear.

'Oh my God, it was a shame to almost score, all I can say was our Chelsea luck, Frank's shot was fantastic.' I thought the ball was in, but I didn't expect it to be saved by Dudek, and the commentator said depressedly.

Not only the commentators, but more than 40,000 Chelsea fans let out a burst of regret when they saw Frank Lampard's shot not go in, but after the regret, they erupted into a round of applause for Frank Lampard, who had just scored.

I have to say that Frank Lampard is indeed very strong, just transferred from West Ham United to Chelsea, and in just half a season, he has successfully secured Chelsea's main line-up, and has also won the love of Chelsea fans.

"Damn it." Chelsea manager Claudio Ranieri scolded when he saw Frank Lampard's shot saved by Dudek. Ranieri is very aware of the gap between the strength of his team and Liverpool, if Lampard scores this goal, his team will be able to take the initiative, but unfortunately he did not score, and the rest of the games like this may not have the opportunity.

"Attention, cheer me up!" Houllier was in a hurry, the manager told the players at the beginning of the game that Chelsea is definitely not a weak team, not a role that Liverpool can bully at will, why his own players just don't pay attention to it. If it weren't for Dudek's concentration just now, I'm afraid Chelsea would have taken the lead by now, and Houllier couldn't help frowning when he thought of this.

"What are you all doing, how can you make that guy shoot so easily." Not only Houllier, but even Dudek, who had just made a contribution, was also anxious, yelling loudly at his backcourt players.

"Don't worry, we know what to do, and you all cheer me up." Hamann, as the captain on the pitch at this time and the core of the defense, naturally knew that he had just let Frank Lampard's shot be too casual, why immediately, there was no pressure on Lampard's defense, and his defenders were not optimistic. Upon hearing Dudek's words, Hyypia said to Dudek while shouting loudly to cheer up his teammates.

Maybe it's because this is Stamford Bridge, Chelsea's home stadium, in the cheering of tens of thousands of Chelsea fans, Chelsea's attack is about to be like a tide, constantly rushing towards Liverpool, if it weren't for the strength of Hyypia and others, I'm afraid Chelsea would have been ahead of the curve.

In the 17th minute, Frank Lampard sent in a cross from the bottom of the box, and Gudjohnsen, who was waiting in the penalty area, suddenly broke out, grabbed a pass from Frank Lampard in front of Henkz, and rushed to the top, if it wasn't for the help of the post, I am afraid Chelsea would have taken the lead.

In the 24th minute, Chelsea made a comeback, Gallas relied on his strong body and pace, and while ensuring that he did not foul, he brutally cut off the ball at the feet of Owen and passed a through ball to the feet of Frank Lampard, the heart of Chelsea midfield.

After receiving a pass from Gallas, Lampard continued to run at full sprint pace before passing straight to the team's veteran Zola.

The current Zola is 35 years old, but Hyypia does not dare to despise the little man in front of him, although Zola is very unsatisfactory in Serie A and the Italian national team, but from the 30-year-old Zola to England, after coming to Chelsea, he began his second spring, scoring goals like numb.

Faced with a world-class striker like Zola, Hyypia did not dare to be careless.

Zola looked at Hyypia in front of him, carefully guarding the ball while thinking about what to do with it. Zola is not a reckless person, on the contrary, he has always relied on his brain to play football, and naturally knows that he is too old at present, and his speed cannot be compared with before, let alone his height of less than 1.7 meters, and he is not Hyypia's opponent at all.

After discovering that he was really not sure of breaking through Hyypia, because time was running out, Zola could only pass the ball to Gudjohnsen on the side.

At the age of 35, Zola has no way to roam the wings and run as much as he did when he was younger, creating opportunities for himself and the team. Zola is now more like a shadow killer and a midfielder, behind Gudjohnsen, more often waiting for his teammates to pass the ball to him, and then to others. Of course, if there is a chance to shoot, Zola will never be ambiguous.

Seeing Zola pick up the ball to himself, Gudjohnsen ran directly towards the ball, ignoring Henkez behind him, and at the moment when the ball landed, he directly volleyed, but was blocked by Henkerz, who arrived in time, with his foot outstretched.

Chelsea's corner was headed straight out of the box by Hyypia and the ball landed right at the feet of Steven Gerrard. With Chelsea scrambling for the header, most of the players came to the vicinity of the penalty area and the backfield was empty.

As a talent-level player, Gerrard naturally did not waste such a good opportunity, and began to run towards the Chelsea penalty area with the ball, and at the same time, Chelsea's Frank Lampard also began to follow closely behind Gerrard and began to prepare for counter-attack.

Because Gerrard is running with the ball, the speed is not as fast as Lampard, and he has been caught up by Lampard in midfield. Taking advantage of Gerrard's lack of attention, Frank Lampard fell to the ground with a sliding tackle, brought down Gerrard, immediately got up, grabbed the ball and began to rush towards Liverpool with all his might.

"Damn, is this Lampard still human, it can be seen from Chelsea's attack, Lampard is the core of Chelsea's midfield, it stands to reason that Lampard is also like a normal player, played 19 games, is he an iron man, his physical energy has not been consumed at all, the game started to the scene, and he has been running like this for half an hour!"

Watching Frank Lampard cut off the ball at Gerrard's feet and began to rush towards Liverpool, George, who was sitting on the bench, couldn't help but say depressedly. Indeed, compared with Lampard, even George himself has to admit that if Lampard really plays 19 games and can still have such physical strength, in terms of physical strength, he is not Lampard's opponent, and I am afraid that no one in the whole of Liverpool is Lampard's opponent.

"Hehe, Frank is such a person, you see Frank's style of play is not very much like a barbarian, in fact, Frank is far from what you look like, Frank has a high IQ, he was determined to be above 150 when he was a child, if it weren't for his father who was also a football player, I hope he can become a professional football player, otherwise, Frank will definitely become an excellent lawyer. I'm also very familiar with Frank, and all I can say about Frank is that this guy is a player who plays with his brain, and his physical fitness is super good. ”

Redknapp, the captain of the team who has returned from injury, smiled when he heard George's words.

For Frank, Redknapp can be said to be very familiar, because like Frank and his father, Redknapp and his father are also footballers, it can be said that the reason why Lampard and Redknapp can become footballers is related to their father and deeply affected.

At the same time, more importantly, Redknapp's father is Lampard's uncle, Redknapp and Lampard have known each other since childhood, and they have a very good relationship, so they are naturally very familiar with Lampard's situation.

(Crazy people are not talking nonsense, Frank Lampard and Redknapp are both famous football fathers and sons in England, all four of them have made it to the England national team, and they are absolute mainstays.) ）
