In the sound of Stamford Bridge Stadium, Chelsea launched an attack from the beginning.
Mourinho, as Benitez expected, did not arrange for a wing player to play.
Robben, who missed four games due to injury, sat on the bench.
But Chelsea were still at their own homes and launched an attack from the beginning.
In the first ten minutes, both sides failed to get a shot, but Chelsea frequently broke into the penalty area. Liverpool had five successful steals and four fouls and received a yellow card, which shows the intensity of the game.
But in the eleventh minute, Chelsea finally ushered in a good opportunity.
Lampard made a free kick on the right, Carvalho passed the ball back, Barak header ferry, Shevchenko header three meters in front of the goal.
Daniel Ag who defended Shevchenko failed to grab a favorable position, but he was blocked between the Ukrainian striker and the goal. Shevchenko's header was blocked in front of the goal line and he was cleared .
Several times this season to replace Hypia, Daniel Agger's performance was impressive.
This time the crisis in front of the door was resolved, and Liverpool players gave him a warm applause and stepped forward to give him a high-five.
...
While defending the free kick, Yang Yang was left in the frontcourt to prepare for a counterattack.
As an offensive ace, his contribution to defense can only be forced and oppressed in the frontcourt.
But he also clearly realized that it would not work to continue this way.
Although he has no specific data, he feels that Liverpool's possession rate in the fifteen minutes before the opening is scary.
It may not even have a quarter, because the whole process is passively beaten.
A threatening counterattack is necessary!
Yang Yang thought to himself.
At this time, the coach on the sidelines, Benitez, also shouted towards the players, indicating that the team can't always retreat and want to play offense, especially on the side.
...
Soon, Liverpool organized an attack.
Xavi Alonso shifted to the left and handed over to Yang Yang to let him face Bolaruz one-on-one.
Yang Yang has absolute confidence in his speed and explosiveness, so he slowly approached Boraruz with the ball.
Boraluz was like a big enemy, and he did not dare to carelessly, and kept going back, guessing Yang Yang's thoughts.
Is it going to end? Still have to cross?
The **** Chinese have such excellent left and right feet that they really can't tell.
Just when Bolaruz struggled to scratch his head, Yang Yang suddenly started.
Boraluz only felt the figure in front of him sway, Yang Yang looked like he was about to cut the ball from the inside, he was immediately taken aback and immediately made a blocking action.
Unexpectedly, Yang Yang made a sudden buckle, from the original inward cut into a straight line.
Almost at the moment of contact between the two sides, Boraluz was thrown away by Yang Yang.
"Beautiful fake!"
"Yang Yang passed directly to the bottom!"
"Middle Road Crouch headed the goal!"
"Oh, the ball is slightly higher!"
"Due to Carvalho's interference, Crouch failed to push the right spot."
"Liverpool hit the first shot of the game, and Yang Yang made a forced breakthrough from the left.
Crouch failed to score a goal and raised his thumbs high towards Yang Yang.
The ball is very accurate in this pass and suitable for him to exert force, but it was interfered by Carvalho.
...
But when Bolaruz felt a little lingering, fortunately when Liverpool failed to break the goal, the Reds organized another offensive again, or a pass from Xavi Alonso.
Yang Yang once again faced Bolaruz one by one on the left.
But this time Yang Yang didn't delay the time anymore. He started quickly after stopping the ball, without giving the Dutch defender any time to react.
"The beautiful pendulum is amazing!"
"Yang Yang forcibly broke through successfully!"
"Inside the ball ..."
French veteran Makelele quickly rushed to help defense, but Yang Yang did not wait for him to approach, directly pulled his legs and shot.
The ball, like a shell, quickly blasted towards Chelsea's goal.
Cech flew one-handed one-handed tossing the ball out of the beam.
After the Czech goalkeeper got up, he shouted hard at the teammates in front of him, and was obviously very afraid of this sudden long shot.
Yang Yang was holding his head with both hands, feeling a little depressed.
...
As Yang Yang became more active on the left, Liverpool's offense also gradually gained momentum.
Soon, Xavi Alonso sent a precise straight ball and tore off Chelsea's defense, but Peter Crouch's shot hit the crossbar and missed the necessary goal.
In the twenty-first minute, Liverpool made another wave of offensive.
Aurelio took the ball on the left and pushed it forward to the 30-meter area of Chelsea, then quickly passed the ball to Yang Yang's feet.
Yang Yang ran back from the front to catch the ball. Bolaruz followed him closely. The players beside Makelele also watched. He did n’t dare to stick the ball. He kicked the ball and passed it back to Harvey in the middle. Alonso.
After passing the ball, Yang Yang quickly turned to start, sprinting forward.
Xavi Alonso kept the ball and passed back to Aurelio on the left.
The left-back in Brazil looked up and looked at the situation. When he saw Yang Yang quickly dash straight behind Chelsea's defense line, and Crouch retreated from the front, he immediately grasped the idea and directly passed the ball diagonally to the ball Strange head.
The English gangster blocked Terry with his body, rushing towards Aurelio's header.
The ball immediately changed direction and landed on the left side of the penalty area.
Yang Yang quickly caught up, and Bolaruz and Essien chased him from left to right.
The three of them rushed into the penalty area almost at the same time, but Yang Yang took the initiative. He had to take a quick half-shot and took the lead to unload the ball from mid-air.
The two Chelsea players dared not kick their feet, for fear of fouling in the penalty area and turning into a penalty, they could only use their bodies to block it.
Under their interference, Yang Yang's first goal didn't stop well, but he quickly kicked again.
At this time, Bolaruz and Essien were already in front of him. Obviously, it was difficult for him to face the goal directly.
As a result, Yang Yang suddenly buckled his left foot and pulled the ball back, then pulled his right foot horizontally.
The whole process is very long, but it actually happened in the blink of an eye.
Yang Yang's defensive players from Chelsea were caught off guard by stopping the ball with two consecutive feet and smashing the ball, especially Essin, who was the first to bear the ball, even more.
With the body already in motion, he could only watch the ball kicked back by Yang Yang and pulled a shot from behind him.
And Yang Yang almost lifted his right foot without thinking, hit a curve ball.
...
"Crouch heads ferry!"
"Fantastic stop!"
"Yang Yang smashed the ball and hit the goal with his right foot!"
"Goal !!!!"
"Goalllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll !!!!!!"
"In the twenty-second minute, Liverpool finally broke Chelsea's goal!"
"The ball from Yang Yang's right foot hit the goal and turned directly into the upper right corner of Chelsea's goal!"
"Cech, who just made several key saves, this time is really helpless."
"Yang Yang's shot was very light, and a beautiful arc was rubbed out."
...
After Yang Yang scored, the whole person flew to the side of the court, spread his arms along the way, and kneeled to the corner.
Behind him, Liverpool players also chased after him, and surrounded him.
Several teammates such as Gerrard and Carragher even roared at the live TV broadcast, venting their inner excitement.
In front of the coaches on the sidelines, Benitez rushed out of the seat with excitement, screaming.
...
"A very crucial goal!"
"It can be said that Liverpool's tactics in this game are very targeted."
"In the first fifteen minutes, Chelsea really took the initiative, and the ball control rate even reached 77%. However, although the Blues have the ball control rate, they have not been able to transform into an effective attack."
"Liverpool quickly gave back in the game after the first fifteen minutes of pressure."
"In the following seven minutes, Liverpool made several very threatening attacks."
"Yang Yang had a sudden long shot before, which made the Stamford Bridge stadium stunned with cold sweat. This time, Liverpool's cooperation on the left side was very delicate. The continuous pass and cooperation, Aurelio found a draw back Crouch. "
"Croach's header ferry is also very comfortable, but the most important thing is Yang Yang's suspension."
"Under the attack of Bolaruz and Essien, Yang Yang just stopped the ball, and also detained Essien. He scored with a right-footed arc, and the whole process reflected the targetedness of Liverpool. Offensive routines, and Yang Yang's outstanding personal abilities. "
"Now, the game is already quite unfavorable for Chelsea."
...
At this time, the live TV footage was also deliberately aimed at the Chelsea chairman's stand.
Abramović's iron-cyan face was obviously not satisfied with the development of the game.
If, in the first fifteen minutes, Chelsea still had the advantage, then in the next few minutes, Liverpool played a very threatening attack, which is definitely a big test for the Blues.
The most eye-catching nature is Yang Yang.
This Chinese almost changed the game by himself!
Even if the Russian rich did not like him at all, he had to admit that Yang Yang's goal was very beautiful.
...
Mourinho also frowned.
Because he discovered that Benitez's tactics pinched Chelsea's seven inches.
The Blues lacked side lanes and the center was too crowded. The positions of Drogba and Shevchenko overlapped greatly. Barack, Makelele, Lampard and Essien had no clear division of labor in the midfield.
This makes Chelsea seem powerful, but in fact it is too bloated and inefficient.
77% of the ball control rate, but failed to play a threatening offense, but Liverpool, created a threat in seven minutes, the attack speed is also quite sharp, especially the left forward Yang Yang, breaking the deadlock at the critical moment, too The key.
If Chelsea have no way to tie the score before the end of the first half, it will be the biggest test for the home team.
But how to crack Liverpool's tactics?
Benitez's team has a balanced offensive and defensive, and is very comprehensive. The tactic itself is mainly defensive counterattack.
Once pressed too close, Yang Yang behind him will act like a sharp knife, threatening Chelsea's goal time and time again.
How to do?
