When Yang Yang rushed out of the stadium in the roar of the audience and ran all the way to celebrate, Chelsea players quickly rushed to the referee Cantaleo. They mainly fouled Liverpool in a free kick attack. .
"Kuit blocked me with his elbow, it was a foul!" Carvalho grieved.
"Gerard fouled, he took my hand and didn't let me move." Ivanovic roared loudly.
"And Scott, the tall guy is pulling my jersey by hand behind me, you should see it." Barak kept pulling his jersey as if to let the referee see The palms that Scott left on it were generally imprinted.
Spanish referee Cantaleo is clearly prepared for such a situation.
As an experienced head referee, he is very aware of the impact of this goal on Chelsea, and the total score is tied. In theory, as long as Liverpool score another goal, it will reverse the score and stage a miracle.
More importantly, this miracle is more difficult than Istanbul.
Although it was the final of the Champions League, it was on the neutral court, but now it is on the road, challenging Chelsea with a strong defensive ability.
Therefore, in this case, Chelsea's player scored a goal and rushed up to cry without waiting for him to blow the whistle. It is understandable, but he did not intend to change this goal, so he kept waving and Shook his head.
"I see it clearly, everyone." Cantaleo signaled that Chelsea's players should keep their distance.
"Before Kuyt blocked you with your elbow, you pushed him down hard. If you want to investigate, this should be a penalty."
"And you, you hugged Gerald with your hands and almost took him down."
Cantaleo finally looked at Barack and thought about it, the Germans did not seem to do anything, so they spread their hands very speechlessly, "I can only say that if it is really more true, I can play a foul , But it seems to be a penalty. "
Chelsea players feel speechless, they don't know what kind of eyes this referee has? It's too ridiculous to be able to see all the things that happened in a moment.
Liverpool claim to be the Spanish team in England. Not only is the coaching staff a Spanish configuration, but there are also many Spanish players on the team. Wouldn't this Spanish referee want to favor Liverpool?
On the other side, the Liverpool players celebrated while seeing the referee's slow whistle, and then saw several Chelsea players rushing around to put pressure on them.
What happened just now in the penalty area is very fast, it can be said that it is overwhelming, but no one is cleaner than anyone. This is also the norm when taking the penalty kick in the frontcourt. If you are entered, you must admit it. ?
Liverpool scored three corners at home, did you say anything?
The referee Cantaleo saw the Liverpool players rushing up and immediately blocked Gerard and others, while separating the players of the two teams, indicating that the goal was valid, quickly dispersed, and ready to restart the kick.
...
"The referee is in control of the game."
"Now at this time, the Chelsea players will be in a great mood. The Liverpool players are feverish. They want to counterattack. Both teams are angry. It is important to separate them."
"From a slow-motion playback, Yang Yang's goal is indeed good. It is difficult for other players to judge the wrestling, but this far-stop ball can stop the ball so stable, it is quite skillful. . "
"Some people say that Yang Yang is the player with the best Premier League stopping ability after Bergkamp, even better than Van Persie."
"Now, Liverpool's morale is like a rainbow. It's a good chance to reverse the score."
"Chelsea is better than rivals on this ball, it is better to think about how to stabilize his defense."
"At least, they are still holding a half-ball lead."
...
Hemisphere advantage?
For the more than 38,000 Chelsea fans on the scene, it was already terrified.
It was only twenty minutes, from the advantage of three goals before the game, was quickly shortened to one goal.
But if another goal was scored by Liverpool, then Chelsea was reversed, and the team's tactics were completely disrupted.
Anyone can see that Hiddink's idea in this game is to defend counterattack, let Liverpool press out to fight, and then counter opponents.
But if reversed by Liverpool, Chelsea's play will not work.
And more importantly, with the current morale and status of Liverpool, scoring seems to be a breeze.
Crazy Yang Yang! Crazy Liverpool!
It may even create a crazy score!
Thinking of the six-to-one at Old Trafford, how could fans of Stamford Bridge not be worried?
...
"What the **** is going on?" Abramovich could no longer sit still.
The situation before the game was very good, but the result was only 20 minutes in the opening game. It was evenly equalized by Liverpool. It may even be reversed by another opponent. How to play in the next game?
Knowing that Liverpool can play, knowing Liverpool's blood, but not knowing how to play to this extent.
"According to the current situation, we simply can't keep it." Abramovich has been watching the ball for some years. At least he has been able to see some ways to see the situation on the court.
Now Chelsea is in a critical period. If Liverpool scores another goal, the good situation before Chelsea will be defeated. It may even be at a disadvantage and the situation will be completely reversed.
"We should find a way to stabilize the defense now, and don't let Liverpool's offensive after the opening disrupt the rhythm." Terry looked calmly and analyzed, he is also very headache for the situation facing the team today.
Saying to keep it, but Chelsea ’s best line of defense has been arranged in the lineup, in this case, the team can make adjustments is actually very limited, even if Hiddink has enough courage and courage, Substitution after the opening of the first half, the removal of an offensive player, plus defense, may not be able to be stable.
However, Liverpool's offensive will become more and more fierce until Chelsea is completely swallowed.
According to the rhythm after the opening, and the momentum shown by Liverpool, Chelsea may be difficult to hold.
How to do?
This is a difficult problem.
But at this time, Hiddink suddenly turned around in front of the home team coach and shouted towards the bench.
…………
…………
"Anelka!"
"Chelsea can't wait to make the first substitution!"
"Hiddink was obviously forced by the situation on the court. He had to make a substitution in the 20th minute of the first half. This is indeed quite surprising, but Hiddink can also be seen. Courage. "
"Now this time the substitutions, if adjusted properly, can indeed interrupt Liverpool's offensive."
"He replaced Aarka on the thirty-ninth with a Kalau on the twenty-first."
"I replaced a striker with a striker. I don't know what is the specific intention of Hiddink's substitution this time?"
...
Not only the live commentators couldn't understand it, the fans on the spot couldn't understand it, but neither the Liverpool players themselves.
Generally speaking, unless the situation is very bad on the court, otherwise, the head coach will not make non-injury substitutions in the first half, because that is a denial of the player and also his own tactics. negative.
But at this time, Hiddink resolutely chose a substitution, and still replaced the team's number one scorer, Anelka, which is equivalent to telling everyone that he has already played his cards in advance Too.
This is also an adventure, because if the hole card is not played, the expected effect is not played, which will be a painful blow for the home team players.
Of course, the possibility of success is also very high, otherwise, Hiddink cannot place Anelka on the bench.
Therefore, Liverpool is also facing an enemy, so he dare not carelessly.
"Everyone gets together and pays attention to defense, especially on the left."
Benitez reminded the players on the pitch loudly, indicating that they should pay attention to Chelsea's changes.
Others may not know, but Benitez himself is very clear, Hiddink is gambled.
The three to one in the first round gave Chelsea the advantage. Everyone thought that only a miracle could save Liverpool.
But in the second round, Liverpool played a tide offensive from the start, and pulled two consecutive goals in 20 minutes.
By this time, the foundation of Chelsea's promotion to the semi-finals was already shaky. The advantage gained in the first round was almost lost. The only advantage was the away goal advantage.
For Chelsea, defending may not hold up, because their strongest defensive lineup is already on the court.
Therefore, Hiddink tried the situation, decided to make substitutions, and adopted another method, which was to attack and use Anelka to fight against Liverpool and let go.
Benitez himself has to admit that Hiddink is indeed very courageous and wonderful.
Liverpool need a goal now, but while the team is fast-paced, the team's defense is not solid.
Malouda, Drogba and Anelka will play an important role in the counterattack and become the enemy of Liverpool's defense.
In this case, Benitez did not blindly make targeted substitutions and adjustments, but signaled the players to pay attention to let Aurelio on the left side pay attention to the side of Anelka.
Now the team's situation is very good. Just give Liverpool a little more time and score another goal, then the situation is completely reversed.
Under such circumstances, how could Benitez change the team's play style?
...
Sometimes football games are like this, and the whole process is full of various trade-offs and games.
But in the midst of rapid changes, many things are unexpected.
When the game reached the 28th minute, Liverpool quickly scored on the left side of the Chelsea penalty area. Yang Yang dribble the ball and crossed the bottom line to pass forward. After the point, Kuyt failed to grab the position and became a goal kick.
Chelsea served quickly and Drogba scored the first goal. After a few passes from the Chelsea midfielder, he gave it to the right and gave it to Anelka.
The French striker took the ball forward and took the initiative to find Lampard to make a collision with the wall. Then he quickly broke through on the right and was forced to the corner by the defensive players of Benaillon and Aurelio In front of the bottom line, there was a low pass.
Before Liverpool's goal, Drogba quickly caught up and forcibly kicked in with little angle.
Reina stuck firmly in his position and fell to the ground with his arms.
This was originally a defensive game, but I didn't expect Reina to take it off.
Not only did he take off his hand, the ball also turned to his goal.
