The Ball at Your Feet

Martin Taylor was a little surprised to find that there are no forwards on the starting list. Because Chelsea played very smoothly in the first few games, and Drogba's physical fitness is indeed very strong, no one thought that there would be injuries. It is precisely because of this, but when Drogba fell, he still Many people found that Mourinho also believed that Drogba would not be injured, which resulted in not even a striker on the bench list.

If Kežman was added to the bench, there would be no such problem now. This small mistake caused all Chelsea's plans to be messed up.

At this time, Mourinho's possible substitutions have also become a point of contention.

"It should be Tiago. After all, there is no forward, and it is safer to play in the midfield for a long time. Zhao Yaning got the ball in the midfield too smoothly. If you add a Tiago, you should It will be much better." Andy Gray made a judgment.

But Martin Taylor didn't think so. "I think Mourinho is not such a person who surrenders so easily..."

Sure enough, Mourinho's substitution was on Joe Cole.

Mourinho still wants to attack. Although Drogba's accidental injury has disrupted his tactical deployment, he has no intention of admitting defeat at all. After changing into Joe Cole, Chelsea is equivalent to having two midfielders. This kind of play is indeed a gambling.

But this time the substitutions have had a good effect. Chelsea have the advantage at home and have had the upper hand. Now that one more person is added, the control of the midfield is even better. It's just that there is only one striker left. Although the control has greatly increased, the question of when to plug in has become unclear, and it has also made Liverpool feel a little confused.

In the 41st minute, Ferreira made a cross from the right. Lampard, who was in an unguarded position, jumped for the header 11 yards from the goal, without stopping. Not only that, in the 45th minute, Choko made a long pass from midfielder to the left. Finnan made a head-to-head error. Duff, who received the ball, made a pass from the left, but this time, it was even more surprising. Lampard, who was 6 yards in front of the goal, and Smeding who was behind, failed to tackle the ball, and Kirkland took the ball into his arms.

The continuous danger made the Liverpool players all startled in a cold sweat. The series of mistakes made them almost lose their lead in the first half. Fortunately, at this time, the whistle sounded at the end of the first half.

Fortunately, no ball was dropped. Everyone who entered the locker room had the same idea.

"The time of this intermission is really timely. Liverpool need time to adjust the back line, and Chelsea also need time to organize the attack, presumably in the second half, the game will be more exciting."

Martin Taylor made a prediction, and in the second half of the game, the game was as intense as he thought.

At the beginning of the second half, Liverpool chose a fierce midfield fight and attack. Although Chelsea had the advantage, they did not get an immediate victory. The offensive and defensive rhythm of the two sides suddenly accelerated a lot, and the entanglement in the midfield became entangled.

In reality, Galla cleverly made a pass from the left. Just after midfield, the stamina Geremi headed back to Goodjohnson. Goodjohnson took the ball a few steps and got a close 7 yards in front of the goal. The shot swept the ball towards the goal. But Liverpool's left-back Traore stopped him and blocked his pass. After that, Ferreira fouled Baros in the midfield. After Zhao Yaning took a free kick, Alonso grabbed the spot and shot 25 yards from the goal in the middle, but was judged. Cech fell to the ground and made a save. After that, Lampard broke from the left to the left side of the penalty area and passed back. Goodjohnson swayed Hypia, who was guarding him, 14 yards in front of the goal. He found an angled shot, but the ball rubbed the crossbar. Fly out. Then Goodjohnson passed Joe Cole directly. Cole did not choose to pass back unguarded on the left side of the penalty area, facing the empty goal Geremi, but directly on his own. His direct shot from a small angle was kicked out by Kirklanto. , Missed the best opportunity. In the 60th minute, Finnan made a cross from the right and Zhao Yaning made another shot, but he was successfully blocked by Cech again.

Chelsea's defensive ability is indeed beyond Liverpool. Not to mention anything else, Cech's outstanding performance this season is enough to make Chelsea's defense firm and not easily broken.

"The offensive and defensive rhythms of the two sides are now extremely fast, which is dizzying. This kind of game is a truly high-level game!" Seeing the constant scramble between the two sides, Martin Taylor also screamed enjoyment. It is different from the somewhat dull rhythm of the game at the beginning. This kind of play is the rhythm that the Premier League should have. This kind of offensive and defensive rhythm seems to be enough to be enjoyable.

But the situation on the court gradually tilted towards Chelsea. After all, Chelsea's strength is stronger, Liverpool's fight in the midfield, it is still unable to withstand for a long time.

In the 51st minute, Chel got the opportunity to threaten Liverpool. Ferreira passed through the penalty area to the right rib. Joe Cole passed in from the middle at high speed. Although Carragher and Hypia were pressed at the same time, they still I found the opportunity to start a shot from a small angle, but unfortunately only hit the side net.

Liverpool did not dare to relax at all, but in the 67th minute, Chelsea still ushered in an excellent opportunity. Lampard took a right corner kick, Hypia's header was not far away, and Joe Cole from the outside of the penalty area grabbed the first place. He didn't wait for the ball to land and volleyed from the left edge of the penalty area. Ke Clander didn't hit the block, but the ball still flew straight to the gate. Hypia, who turned to save the ball, stretched his leg to block the ball from the penalty area line and once again saved Liverpool's fate.

"Being besieged by Chelsea, but there is nothing to do, it also puts more and more pressure on the Liverpool players.

In the 74th minute, Chelsea still scored a goal to break the deadlock.

Smeding was fouled by Dior when he broke through and he won a free kick from the front right. In the penalty area, players such as Terry and Galla attracted most of Liverpool's defensive attention at the back point, but Lampard, who served the ball, wisely chose a flat kick and sent the ball to the center of the penalty area. Joe Cole was in time. He shot out and succeeded in grabbing a point outside the penalty area. Riding on the chaos of the crowd, he directly hooked his right foot into the corner and the ball went straight to the bottom of the net.

"Chelsea's equalized goal! Joe Cole! In great shape! I really don't understand why such a player should sit on the bench. He is the most worthy of Chelsea!"

Joe Cole, who scored the goal, ran back and forth proudly, roaring at the fans. This also makes Chelsea fans even more happy. The entire Stamford Bridge stadium is full of loud shouts and roars. The goals scored by local players always make people happier.

Everyone in Liverpool is also a little bit mixed at this time. Although it is normal to be slammed and lose the ball, it is really difficult for Liverpool to win, but it is really unpleasant to watch the victory and slip away.

"The current situation is quite unfavorable for Liverpool. Their midfielder has completely fallen after a fierce confrontation. They can't attack their opponents, so in the remaining time, they should only retreat..."

After the ball, Chelsea's offensive became even more fierce. But at this time, their attacks also began to have problems.

After scoring the goal, Chelsea attacked more rampantly. In the 79th minute, Goodjohnson made a straight pass to the left of the penalty area. Duff plugged in and did not choose to return to Lampard, who was able to reach the previous point. He observed that Kirkland’s goal was empty after the attack. A light kick was given to Joe Cole, who was in front of the empty goal. Joe Cole faced this good opportunity to score twice, but did not immediately choose a quick push to break the goal. He kicked and played with his fancy foot. Law shot and kicked the ball into the air. This choice allowed Carragher to feel in time that he pushed the ball out with a header on the goal line and successfully cleared the siege for the team.

But even so, this opportunity still changed to the applause of the fans.

"I understand now why he can only sit on the bench-this kind of mentality determines that he really can't play the main force. Xiao Qiao is not young anymore. If he doesn't know self-control like this, he will delay his career sooner or later. "

Martin Taylor complained about Joe Cole's wasted opportunity, but he didn't notice more important things.

Liverpool still has a chance...Chelsea is beginning to be proud!

Judging the situation, Benitez made a decisive adjustment in the 82nd minute. He replaced Fernando with Milito, reduced a defender and replaced it with a forward, hoping to regain the disadvantage of the team. However, his arrangement has not yet taken effect. In the 84th minute, Frank Lampard made a cross from a tactical corner kick and almost forced Carragher to succumb to his own goal~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and then Chelsea. A right corner kick was taken. Hypia failed to make a clearance. Terry took a header and gave the ball to his teammate. However, Gudjohnson, who ran forward to grab the spot, was tripped by his collapsing teammate Galla. A missed opportunity.

Many consecutive attack errors, it seems that Chelsea is indeed proud. Taking advantage of this moment, Zhao Yaning finally launched an attack.

In the 87th minute, when Zhao Yaning got the ball, he turned around and gave the ball to Harvey Alonso, and then immediately ran forward. Alonso took a look at Chelsea's position and immediately judged the course of the ball based on the positions of Zhao Yaning and Makelele and their speed. He cleverly kicked the ball to the left. Makelele and Zhao Yaning's positions were not much different, but Zhao Yaning ran faster. He relied on his speed advantage and made Makelele one step to grab the spot. After that, he did not hesitate to pull the ball in one step and turned around. Turning around, he also picked up the ball. Then he slammed the ball violently, made a pass, and sent the ball to the goal!

Chelsea's defense was too far forward. At this time, no one returned to the defense in time. Milito was 10 yards in front of the goal, unattended, he hit the ball with a head hammer. Cech flew up and tried to stop the ball, but the speed of the ball was too fast, so he rubbed his fingertips and flew into the goal!

"Al!!!... the referee's whistle blew, the ball is an offside goal." Martin Taylor was a little confused, "Let's see the replay... Makelele was blocking Zhao Yaning when he broke through, and he passed. The moment of the ball-Milito was not offside! This is a misjudgment! Ferreira dragged behind so that the ball should not be judged offside, this ball is a misjudgment!"
