Chapter 56: Riding Alone

Although the less fit Hamann was replaced by Houllier for Redknapp, Chelsea did not slow down the momentum of the attack because of Liverpool's substitution, and at the same time, it was vaguely stronger than just now.

In the 78th minute, Frank Lampard's long-range shot was saved by Dudek and Chelsea were awarded another corner.

It has to be said that from the beginning of the game to the present, Frank Lampard is definitely the most active person among the 22 players on the pitch, and at the same time he has run the longest distance.

At present, the people who can still run at top speed on both sides, in addition to Lampard, the iron man who can't be killed, there are only two Redknapp and George who were replaced in the second half, Redknapp is not completely well because of the injury, so that the only person who can run as hard as possible in the field is George at present.

As for Chelsea, Ranieri can't help it, because Chelsea's current bench depth is not enough, even if he is replaced, he may not be able to play a good role, and it will even affect the current offensive momentum of the Blues, so Ranieri thought for a long time, and just replaced Gallas, who already had a yellow card on his body, with Terry.

Lampard looked up at Liverpool's penalty area and found that Desailly had also arrived, for Chelsea, corner kicks are not as embarrassing as Liverpool's, because among Liverpool's striker killers, whether it is Owen or Litmanen, they are technical, thin and thin, it is difficult to grab corner kicks, even George and Hyypia, who rushed to support, are definitely the objects of the opponent's strict guard. So Lampard has a lot of options, after all, whether it is Desailly or Gudjohnsen, they both have good headers.

With the referee's whistle, Frank Lampard kicked the ball high and it arced beautifully into the box and landed.

As the core of Liverpool's defense, Hyypia naturally defended Desailly tightly, and when he saw Lampard's pass, he directly looked for Desailly at the back point, and Hyypia immediately pasted on Desailly, clinging to Desailly to prevent Desailly from jumping calmly.

When the ball landed on the top of the two heads, Desailly and Hyypia both jumped up at the same time, although Desailly's height was not as tall as Hyypia, but Desailly's bounce ability was very good, and finally grabbed the ball with Hyypia in the air, but because both of them grabbed the ball at the same time, both of them had no way to take each other, and the ball just changed direction along the top of their heads and flew to the penalty area.

Due to the ferocity of Chelsea's attacking momentum during this period, even forwards such as George and Owen returned to their backfield at this time, and George was in a position outside the penalty area at the moment.

Seeing the ball falling towards him, George immediately rushed over, stopped the ball, looked up at the front court, and found that there was no player in the front court. Thinking of this, George took the ball and began to run towards the Chelsea penalty area.

When George had not run ten meters away with the ball, Desailly, who was quickly returning to the defense, had already leaned over when he saw that he was closest to George, ready to cut off the ball at George's feet, and at the very least, he wanted to slow down George's speed.

Desailly is very confident in his defensive ability, after all, he has been called "rock" by virtue of his defensive ability, which is not something that ordinary people can have.

However, George's excellent performance during this time, especially the game between Liverpool and Manchester United, George's wonderful goal made Desailly have to pay attention to it, and he will not be despised because George is a newcomer.

Seeing Desailly pounce on him from his right front, George did not slow down, but was very direct, kicking the ball to his right side, bypassing Desailly, and at the same time he also rushed from the left, bypassing Desailly to catch up with the ball, and began to continue to run.

It has to be said that as George continues to play, especially when passing people, George is more likely to directly use simple and practical human balls.

Don't think that Desailly is a world-class defensive player, and you should be unhappy that George is so easily passed. You must know that in this world, there is a world-class defender who can successfully defend the opponent's breakthrough every time. Even world-class defensive masters such as Maldini and Caravaro have not been broken through by an unknown person.

After all, when the attacker and the defender are one-on-one, the offense is in a huge advantage, when to pass, how to pass is the offensive player's own choice, and the defender can not judge, the reason why Desailly can become a world-class defensive player, can only be said to have a higher steal success rate than the average player, but it is only some, so it is normal to be passed by George with a ball.

Past Desailly, George is left with Chelsea's last defender in front of him, that is, Terry in the midfield at this time, because Desailly has a height advantage for Terry, so when Chelsea just sent a corner, Desailly rushed to Liverpool's penalty area to prepare for a corner, and Terry was responsible for defending Liverpool's rapid counterattack.

Seeing that there was only one defender left in Chelsea, George naturally did not be polite, and strode towards Terry, because George knew that when he passed Terry, he would be able to form a one-on-one situation with the goalkeeper, and a one-on-one situation was definitely a scoring opportunity for himself.

In the face of George, who rushed towards him, he quickly retreated with his back to his player, and at the same time looked at George with his eyes, ready to rush up and break the ball at the right time.

John Terry's pace was not very fast, and he was still backwards, but he was caught up by George in an instant, and the two were still a full 40 metres away from the Chelsea players.

Terry saw that George was fast, and in a moment he was less than ten meters away from him, Terry knew that he could not retreat anymore, and it was time to rush up and cut off the ball at the opponent's feet.

Thinking of this, although Terry was still reversing, his speed had obviously slowed down, and he was ready to start stealing.

Terry slowed down, but George didn't, and soon George was within three meters of Terry, just as George was ready to start breaking through.

At this moment, Terry suddenly stopped and retreated, and instead of retreating, he rushed towards George, and made a direct sliding tackle, trying to cut off the ball at George's feet.

Although the distance between the two sides was very close, George's excellent reaction made George instantly start to move unconsciously. Facing Terry's sliding tackle, George directly pulled the ball inward with his left foot, and at the same time his body soared, as if he was standing on top of the ball, and began to turn quickly, when George completed the 360-degree turn, at this time his right foot rubbed on the ball, so that the ball began to continue to roll forward.

A very wonderful Marseille slalom, perhaps because of the fast running, George's Marseille slalom looks a little reluctant, but anyway, George subconsciously used this Marseille slalom that usually has nothing to do and often plays with Owen and Gerrard, and flashed Terry's sliding tackle with an extremely gorgeous passing move, and began to officially face the Chelsea goalkeeper.

In Terry's helpless gaze, George caught on to the ball and continued towards the Chelsea penalty area.

Cudicini saw George getting closer and closer, and at the same time found that his teammates could no longer catch up with him, and he was now on his own. Thinking of this, Cudicini yelled, gave up the goal, and began to attack.

At this time, George was already approaching the big penalty area, seeing Cudicini give up the goal and start attacking, George was not ready to continue to break through Cudicini, because for the current George, this is no longer necessary.

Without the slightest hesitation, he looked at the goal, and directly rubbed the bottom of the ball with his right foot, and the ball jumped up lightly and fell towards the door of Chelsea.

Cudicini, who was attacking, saw George start to shoot, immediately stopped his attack, and began to desperately retreat towards the goal, but how could Cudicini catch up with the speed of the ball, he could only watch the ball go over him and fall into the net.
