Section 418 Reluctant substitutions

U8 Update Fastest Reading Network In less than a minute, Riese sneaked into one just after the opening, leaving Benitez and Mourinho stunned at the same time. ()

How do these guys play football, they just don't follow the script......

At this moment, the plans of both sides were all disrupted. The two sides who were supposed to hold back and slowly test their opponents changed their minds at the same time.

In such a situation, it is impossible to fight without fighting. No matter what the plan is, it can't catch up with such a change.

Almost simultaneously, the coaches of both sides took command from the sidelines – and in this case, their options were almost the same: the midfielders increased their pressing and raiding, created chaos, and with chaos, they had chances!

Obviously, Chelsea were caught off guard, but they still had the advantage on the pitch. However, the battle was fierce: one of Drogba's dribbling raids was intercepted by Hyypia, but Hyypia was cut off by Joe Cole when he passed the ball forward. But before Joe Cole could break through with the ball, Reese fouled Joe Cole and interrupted Chelsea's attack.

The extremely fast pace made the enthusiasm of the fans immediately aroused.

Duff's free-kick from the right flank was passed into the box, but it was cleared by Carragher in time. Despite the lack of real chances, Chelsea dominated the midfield and Liverpool's five-man midfield did everything in their power to stop the Blues' advance.

"Through the rain, through the wind, you will never walk alone......"

In less than ten minutes, the singing sounded, and the fans also understood the significance of the game, and their singing began to sound earlier than usual.

In the 13th minute, Drogba broke through with the ball on the right side of the midfield, but again, Hyypia stopped him, and Drogba was tripped and fell to the ground, which made the referee Bennett, who came over, show a yellow card to Hyypia as a jǐng notice.

It is not a good thing that there was a yellow card at such a short time in the opening game, which also made all the fans of Liverpool boo Drogba who was suspected of faking a fall. Drogba stood up deafly, patted his body, and went to participate in the grab again.

Frank Lampard converted the free-kick, which was about 20 yards from goal. His penalty kick was so powerful that Liverpool's wall couldn't help but dodge. His ball was able to pass through the wall, but his free-kick was too well placed and was taken directly into his arms by Dudek.

With several unsuccessful Chelsea breakthroughs, Liverpool gradually stabilized their ground. Soon, Liverpool tried to seize counter-attacking opportunities to extend the score, and in the 26th minute, when Zhao Yaning sent the ball to Garcia's feet, Lampard also fouled Garcia. He was also given a yellow card by the referee for his foul - in just over 20 minutes, two yellow cards made the game more intense.

Free kick chances.

When he saw the back of Chelsea, Zhao Yaning also knew that it might be difficult for this kick to directly cause a goal. But that doesn't mean he doesn't have any other options. He lifted his foot, and without shèring, he kicked the ball to the feet of Gerrard, who was almost parallel to the human wall!

Makelle rushed over as soon as possible, wanting to foul Gerrard outside the penalty area, but he still underestimated Gerrard's strength, although he pulled Gerrard, but Gerrard still struggled hard and fell into the penalty area!

"Penalty!"

Immediately there was a shouting from above the stands.

But the referee didn't do that. Although he did not hesitate to draw his cards against Makelele, he was very stingy when it came to the penalty award. And this ball Gerrard fell and was indeed suspected of cheating the penalty, so the referee did not blow for the penalty.

The decision also made the fans boo even louder.

Just a minute later, Chelsea had a fantastic chance. After they launched a counter-attack, Drogba's shè goal was saved by Dudek.

Duff whipped in a corner from the right and Carvalho made the first effort on the left side of the six-yard box to head in and Frank Lampard cut in from the back post and slotted the ball wide of the net with a clever header, but Luis Garcia, who was standing on the goal line, stopped the ball with a chest near the far post and cleared the ball from the sideline with a big foot.

It was an opportunity for Chelsea fans to sigh, but they had no choice but to accept the result.

In the 34th minute, the action of both sides was loud again, and this time, Reese's pull foul on Ferreira, who had inserted an assist in the back row, was stopped by the referee, which earned him a yellow card for himself. Immediately, after a Chelsea free-kick, Finnan tripped Duff on the edge of the box, and Duff almost immediately tumbled into the box.

"Penalty!"

This time, it was the turn of the Chelsea fans to chant.

But once again, the referee chose to ignore the fall.

"The intensity of this game is really rare since this season." Lineker also had to admit Liverpool's strength, "Chelsea this season, facing most of the teams, is overwhelming the big win, but against Liverpool, it is always unable to win, I have to say that Liverpool's defense has its characteristics." ”

'Chelsea were just lucky. They don't win as much against the strong teams as they do against the weakers. Collymor immediately said, "This kind of team, it's nothing big. ”

"Do you have to win against a strong team, and lose against a relegation team to be considered a strong team?" Lineker immediately complained back, "This season's Liverpool dares to lose against the Saints and Birmingham, is this what is called a strong team?" ”

"I'd rather look at the team that is strong when it comes to the strong, than the team that only bullies the weak." Comoliel said.

At this time, there was another altercation on the pitch: in the 42nd minute, Gerrard fouled Joe Cole in the front court, and this foul also triggered an argument between the players of the two sides, and the two sides quarreled extremely fiercely, and Colwill and Carvalho began to push and shove. Although referee Bennett verbally persuaded Carvalho and Colwill, he also made a jǐng complaint to both sides of the game, after all, if this kind of play continues, sooner or later it will be uncontrollable.

Neither side scored again until the end of the first half – and it's no wonder that both are masters of defence and take the game seriously enough, so it would be strange if they could have scored more goals in their game.

Throughout the first half, Liverpool strictly followed Benitez's tactics – that is, to defend and counter-attack. That gave the Reds a one-goal lead heading into the break. But the problem is that Benitez gradually saw the problem: in this game, Chelsea's tactical prediction of Liverpool was very accurate, although Liverpool scored in the first half and successfully launched several attacks, but the overall situation, the situation began to tilt towards Chelsea.

Isn't it time for a change? Benitez was a little undecided. If it was a draw, it would have been fine, but Liverpool is obviously leading by one goal now, and it is not good to make substitutions at this time.

However, it was clear that Mourinho was not as indecisive as Benitez, and his substitutions caused an exclamation as soon as the second half began.

"For Jarosik, for Gudjohnsen? In this way, doesn't it mean that the lineup is 424? Crazy substitutions! ”

It's a crazy way to play. With the introduction of a two-striker, Chelsea's squad was reduced to just two midfielders, with four of them attacking the front of the net and swearing to score a goal.

Jarosik is Chelsea's weakness, he doesn't play well enough on the pitch. However, Mourinho's substitution of a midfielder and throwing up a striker is still extremely surprising, and it is too big to attack so wildly just after halftime.

But this substitution did have a great effect. Drogba pressed the backline very well, but because his shè goal was so poor that he didn't pose much of a threat, he couldn't threaten Liverpool's goal either. However, after the addition of a Gudjohnsen, Chelsea's threat in the penalty area increased greatly, and Liverpool had to shrink the line to defend, which also made Zhao Yaning's attack distance greatly increased, and the attack was also slowed down.

And Chelsea's attack was launched again. Joe Cole broke through on the right and got close to Hyypia before falling straight to the ground. This time, when the referee came over, he had already put his hand in his pocket.

"Liar!" Liverpool fans shouted, "Chelsea are liars!" ”

It seemed that he heard the shouts of the fans, and the referee who came over, after discussing it with the linesman, still did not take out the card, this decision made Mourinho walk around the sidelines with some dissatisfaction - if Hyypia had been off, this game would have been very different.

Soon, there was another foul on Liverpool. Luis Garcia fouled Gala near the touchline, but the referee did not take out the card, and the failure to do so twice in a row also angered Mourinho, who rushed to the fourth official, Phil Clausley, and loudly vented his frustration, "Are you going to see my player have a broken leg, so you are willing to take a card?" ”

Such a scene made the referee Bennet step forward quickly, and Jǐng sued him a few words to calm his anger.

"Coach Mourinho really doesn't have enough heart. Alan Hansen, who is on Liverpool's side, will not say anything good about Chelsea, saying: "Although the coach was involved in the celebration, it was exciting to see it once or twice, and the manager was really commendable for protecting his players. But so many times, every time a player scores a goal, he celebrates, and the team complains when he can't open the situation, this kind of style is really not atmospheric. I've seen Paisley coach, I've seen Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger coach, and as a manager, at least calm and confidence is what you should have. ”

"Like that Benitez over there who has always had an immobile expression after a season?"

This sentence choked Alan Hansen's words back, "Maybe, don't be so calm......"

"He's just complaining when the team can't win." "But I think he should be happy now." ”

And at this time, on the court, there was indeed another change - Colwill fell to the ground and sprained his ankle in a shaking dribble.

"Harry Cowell is hurt again?" Lineker was a little helpless, "It's a good job, it's basically in bed...... Okay, Colwill is going to be replaced, let's see how that changes on the pitch. ”

In fact, at this time, when he said this, he already knew very well what the result would be: the balance of the game was already tilted in Chelsea's favor -
