v4 Chapter 732： Stay behind

On the evening of April 14, 19:30.

Stamford Bridge Stadium in the West End of London is brightly lit and bright as day.

After the influx of more than 38,000 fans, the huge grandstand was squeezed out, and it looked like a crowd of people, it was not spectacular.

This world-focused focus battle is about to begin, and the atmosphere in the stadium is becoming more and more tense and more and more fanatical.

The fans of the home team are so enthusiastic that they are obviously expecting the team to beat Liverpool at home to change the embarrassing record of this season with the strong team. Although the number of the away team fans is small, it is not outdone and the momentum created Not inferior to the home team, this is more or less related to the lack of unity of the home team fans.

The atmosphere at Stamford Bridge is not good. This is a long-standing problem.

Captain John Terry's suit appeared on the chairman's stand in a straight line. Because of the accumulation of yellow cards, he will miss this focus game tonight, but he still comes to the court and stays with the team.

He just came out of the locker room, he can see that the teammates are all fighting, and the ambitions must be won, and the coach Hiddink is also fully prepared to make Liverpool helpless in this game. Former shame.

Although it is likely that Chelsea will be empty-handed this season, being able to eliminate the powerful Liverpool from the Champions League is also a proud deed.

"Hope all goes well!" Terry looked directly at the stadium and prayed secretly.

Just then, there was a rush of noise near the chairman's stand exit.

Terry turned around and saw that club owner Abramovich walked out of the passage accompanied by the club's general manager Peter Kenyon, chairman Barker and assistant Marina Granovskaya. Coming in the middle of the vacated position, which is Terry's direction.

This was reserved for him exclusively by the club, and is exclusively for Abramovich's position.

"Hey, John." Abramovich smiled and patted him on the shoulder when he saw Terry.

"Nice to meet you, boss." Terry also responded with a smile.

The Russians seem to be in a good mood, pointing to their empty seats, "Come, sit here with me, my captain!"

Of course Terry would not refuse, and immediately politely agreed to come down.

Suddenly, many people around them adjusted their positions in an informed and interesting manner.

In Chelsea, at Stamford Bridge, Abramovich is a veritable king!

After a group of people found their places and sat down, the Russian asked with concern about the current situation of the team and the next game. He obviously cares more about whether the team can beat Liverpool and successfully advance to the semi-finals. the match of.

"I just came out of the dressing room, and I can feel that everyone is confident." Terry said confidently.

"But we just scored three goals by Bolton." Abramovich reminded.

Obviously, he has been following Chelsea news all the time.

"It was just an accident. The boss, Hiddink is a top coach. He has adjusted it, and in the past few days, we have been preparing how to deal with Liverpool's high point." Terry laughed.

Abramovich was relieved when he heard this.

"Yes, I have faith in Hiddink, he is the best!"

After Scolari finished class, Abramovich also used personal relationships, which finally convinced Hiddink to let him be both the Russian national team coach and Chelsea coach.

If he didn't have confidence in Hiddink, he wouldn't spend much time doing these things.

"Moreover, Hiddink still hides his back in this game."

"Oh?" Abramovich was interested. "Are there any followers?"

"Anelka is not going."

"Ah?" Abramovich didn't quite understand.

Anelka was once a world-famous genius striker. After Arsenal became famous, he moved to Real Madrid at a high price. However, due to the quirks of nature and his two brothers' blame, his career development has always been All are not smooth.

After Bolton played out, he was dug to Stamford Bridge by Chelsea, and he joined the giants again.

It stands to reason that this player's performance should be deserved, but Hiddink kept him behind, obviously also prepared.

Although Abramovich didn't understand it, he felt that he should have guessed something, as if he saw the victory and beckoned ahead, he suddenly laughed.

"If we can really kill Liverpool, reach the semi-finals, or even Manchester United into the finals, then we will definitely be a big winner!"

Everyone knows that Abramovich is obsessed with the Champions League championship, and even he replaced Mourinho because he felt that the Portuguese madman could not bring Chelsea to the Champions League.

The team reached the UEFA Champions League final last season, and it is not impossible to win the championship if it re-enters the final this season.

"All of us will fight for this, boss!" Terry's eyes were filled with determination.

Although some of his actions against Abramovich are disagreeable with his captain, in any case, as long as it is good for Chelsea, he will do his best to support Abramovich.

It is said that under the entrance of the player, led by Spanish referee Luis Medina Cantareo, the players of the two teams lined up in two teams and came out one after another.

For a time, the audience applause and cheers thundered.

…………

…………

"Because of the commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the Hillsborough massacre tomorrow, all the Liverpool players wore black armbands on their right arm tonight at Stamford Bridge Stadium, and everyone's face was filled with dignity."

"This is somewhat of a mourning feeling, but also reflects Liverpool's determination to fight back and forth."

"Let's take a look at Chelsea's lineup tonight."

"The goalkeeper is Cech, the back lines are Ashlikor, Carvalho, Ales and Ivanovic, the midfielders are Lampard, Barack and Essien, and the frontcourt trident is Malu Da, Drogba and Kalaw. "

"We have noticed that Chelsea's top scorer Anelka, who performed well this season, was put on the bench by Hiddink tonight. This is really surprising, because Anelka is Chelsea's best performance this season. Good scorer. "

"Perhaps, Hiddink wanted to be defensive in the beginning, after all, they have led three to one."

"Everyone feels that Liverpool want to reverse the score on the road, unless a miracle is played again."

"Let's look at Liverpool again."

"The goalkeeper is Reina, the back line is Aurelio, Skotel, Carragher and Aveloa, the midfielder is Mascherano and Xavi Alonso form a double midfielder, Gerrard suddenly The front trident is Yang Yang, Kuyt and Benayon. "

"The English highman Crouch, which many people were looking forward to before the game, also did not appear in the lineup, which shows that the two world's top coaches are tit-for-tat before the game, all hiding their backs and waiting for their opponents to move. . "

"Looking at the score in the first round, Liverpool are now one-to-three behind, and in the second round of the away game, they must score more than three goals before they have the chance to advance. From the time of Ranieri to the present, the defensive ability is obvious to all. "

"Perhaps it can be said that in the Champions League in the past few years, which team can score more than three goals at Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, which is why everyone is not optimistic about Liverpool before the game."

"Also, Liverpool must pay attention to Chelsea's high points in the first round. Ivanovic, Drogba, Barak, Ales ... this game is still, this pair Liverpool's defense, especially the high ball defense, will be a huge test. "

"There is also Reina. This Spanish goalkeeper is a big hidden danger for Liverpool this season. There are often some mistakes that should not be made in the game. From time to time, Liverpool are forced into difficulties. This is obviously a problem."

"Okay, the game is about to start."

"Liverpool are wearing red jerseys, they attack from left to right, Chelsea attack from left to left."

"Yang Yang and Kuyt stood in the middle circle, ready to serve."

"The game is on the verge!"

…………

…………

Yang Yang stood in the middle circle, jumped twice, and took a deep breath.

His body was already active when he warmed up just now, and he felt that he was in good condition now.

When playing Blackburn, he only played half of the match, and then adjusted for three days. Now is the best time.

Good luck, the weather and temperature tonight are also pretty good.

"Ready," Kuyt reminded.

Yang Yang smiled and nodded heavily.

...

With the referee's whistle, Kuyt quickly kicked the ball to Yang Yang.

Yang Yang kept the ball and kicked it back to Gerrard, but he quickly rushed forward.

Gerrard returned to the back line. After Scotel stopped the ball, he made a long pass. Instead of going directly to the middle, he moved to the right. Kuyt is here to fight with Ashley Cole Placement.

But Kuyt failed to reach the point this time, the ball directly flew out of bounds, Chelsea's out of bounds.

"After the opening, we can clearly see that the formation of Liverpool's platoons was somewhat surprising."

"Originally, we all thought that Kuyt would appear on the middle road, but unexpectedly, Yang Yang appeared on this position, while Kuyt appeared on the left road, and Benayn was active on the left side of Yangyang. position."

"Looking at this long pass just now, Benitez's strategy is also very clear. Avoiding Alex and Barak in the middle, playing the low point of Chelsea Ashley Cole on the left and playing out. Kuyt has the advantage of battling for the top. "

...

Liverpool exposed their fangs as soon as they opened, and Chelsea was obviously reluctant to kill.

Hiddink didn't adopt an overly conservative strategy, but chose to face up and go straight.

So after the opening, Liverpool made a big push and took a high position defense. Chelsea also deployed heavy soldiers from the 30m area to the center line.

The start of the two teams seemed risky, but they were relatively stable and did not show the other party a chance.

Until the thirteenth minute ...
