King of Competition

Chapter 333 Flied!

In the locker room, the Liverpool players were silent. Although they were leading in the first half, the leading score of one goal also reflected the two teams' game in the first half. Winning a goal is not worth the fuss. What they need is rest.

In the first half of the game, the team has been scoring goals. The players consume too much physical energy. In fact, they don't have much advantage. Fortunately, the team's luck is not bad. Oh, no, it should be said that the team's No. 10, 'Jack's shot is still so accurate', which makes the team take the lead for the time being. They need to recuperate. Prepare for the second half of the game.

Don Jack sat silently listening to his teammates' talk while accepting the assistant coach's tactics. Before the head coach Benitez came, Hollior explained to him the tactical problems in the details of the game. There was a little omission about his running position in the game. Holler thought that he should not always be on the right side. If there is an opportunity, you can also expand your range of activities, making it more difficult for Chelsea to defend.

"Don't worry about repeating the running position with others. If you go to other areas, Chelsea will be more difficult to defend." Hollier pointed to the tactical version and said that this was what he and Benitez summed up in the first half of the game.

Jack Don listened silently, nodded from time to time, and expressed his opinion: "Wouldn't the defensive pressure of the opponent in the middle be greater?"

Hollie said, "There will be a large number of people. The other party is used to you on the right. If you suddenly get to the middle, their defense will be missed. Even if you don't have a chance, Harvey and Milan will have a chance, which is very beneficial to us from a tactical point of view. Speaking of this, he suddenly realized that these are a little complicated at the level of player's understanding. He simply said, "If you have a chance, you can carry the ball to the middle. You can pass the ball to the left side of the penalty area and use a long pass, where Harvey will have more opportunities, and the opponent's defense against you will be much looser. Because their number of players is the same as ours.

Don Jack still doesn't understand. These advanced tactics are indeed more complicated for ordinary people.

He feels like this is doing a very difficult logical problem. It is necessary to reduce the number of players defending himself through a series of means. In this way, he will have more opportunities, or use the running position to increase the number of players defending his teammates. Just reduce it.

The fulcrum of everything is that the other side has only 11 players, and the other side is also 11 players.

After talking for a while, the head coach Benitez pushed the door and walked into the locker room. The Spanish's face was very relaxed. It seemed that he was very satisfied with the first half of the game. After entering the door, Benitez called all the players and said, "Your performance is very good. Now we are the leading side!"

"Jack, you played well in the first half, especially the suppression of them on the right side, which made it difficult for them to fight back all the way. That's great!"

After talking about Don Jack's topic, Benitez immediately began to explain the tactical layout of the second half. The way he arranged the tactics was to refine each player's task with the tactical version, which was somewhat similar to Mourinho. At the same time, he also commented on the performance of each player in the first half of the game.

This is actually not very good. Of course, those players who don't perform well don't want the head coach to do this, but Benitez still insists on himself. He hopes that every player can face up to his problems and try to play better.

"We need a solid defense."

In the second half, it's not just about tactics. Benitez also began to lay out the victory of the game: "Now we have a score advantage. The other side will definitely attack in the second half, whether it is active or passive, but they will definitely look for opportunities, so what we have to do is to defend, as long as we defend well, no matter. No matter how they play, the initiative is on our side.

After talking about the overall situation, Benitez began to arrange the task carefully. He handed over the team's defensive task on the right side to Cowell, and Don Jack was transferred back to the front court by him. From a tactical point of view, the biggest role that Don Jack can play in defense is to deter the opponent and make the opponent dare to attack too forward. In this way, Liverpool's defensive pressure will also be much less.

This is much more important than a simple defensive player.

On the other side of the field, the visiting team's locker room, and the Chelsea players are annoyed by the defeat in the first half.

For the Blues, they are used to controlling the game and seeing the decline of their opponents. Even Manchester United, Arsenal, and even Liverpool in the first half of the season have fallen in front of them one by one, but now they feel that the game is out of control.

Especially Drogba.

Mr. Warcraft usually looks dull and seems to be very good to everyone. His interpersonal relationship is very good, because he always smiles, but Drogba attaches great importance to his performance. Before the game, many media went to compare him with the opponent's No. 10, and Drogba also knew that it was nothing to compare. His goal number with the other party was not on the same horizontal line.

However, as a shooter, he is unwilling.

No matter how the team played, the opponent scored in the first half, he did not score, and it can be said that there was no chance at all, which made him very annoyed that he was unwilling to fall behind.

Now it has been half a long time since he joined the team. He has adapted to Chelsea's environment. He likes it very much. A group of strong teammates and a head coach who trusts him, there is no better place than here. This makes him feel that he should behave well.

But he didn't perform well. Instead, the No. 10 opposite became the star of the first half. If the game ends in this way, what will the media that support him say? Will they immediately change their attitude and say that they are very different from the black-haired boy, and they are a smuggled man of more than 20 million pounds? For so long in England, Mr. Warcraft also knows the nature of the English media, but he is still a little unacceptable. He is not willing to fail.

Other players didn't know what Drogba was thinking. Seeing that he was silent, they thought Drogba was annoyed because he didn't score a goal. Someone came forward and comforted him, "Didier, it's not a big deal. We have been working hard to play, and we will definitely beat them."

"Yes, we are Chelsea!"

"We have Mr. Mourinho, who knows how to get the victory."

Drogba laughed and knew that his teammates were good intentions.

But he can only think and do these by himself. The kindness of his teammates can only make him feel the warmth in the team, which makes him more ambitious and wants to play. As the first center on the team's front line, Drogba thinks that he should score to help the team equalize the score. Only in this way can he be worthy of head coach Mourinho. Trust.

Then Mourinho walked into the locker room...

Intermission time is also the rest time for the commentators of various TV stations and the fans present. During this time, they can do their own things, and the commentators can also easily talk about the second half of the game.

In its current form, Liverpool is dominant.

Liverpool played at Anfield. After 45 minutes of fighting, they also led by one goal, while Chelsea was one goal behind in the away game. Looking at the first half, it was not easy for them to counterattack and score a goal.

So, most people think that Chelsea will attack in the second half.

Sky TV commentator Kinson is talking about this issue. As a professional football commentator and football column commentator, his understanding of football is beyond the reach of ordinary fans: "... Liverpool gained an advantage in the first half. Chelsea failed to reach the midfield. They needed to score in the second half.

"Liverpool took the initiative. They will not be in a hurry to attack in the second half and should strengthen their defense. Even at Anfield, Liverpool will be under a lot of pressure in the face of players like Chelsea. Mr. Benitez has always been a representative of the steady faction. He should let the team do more defense, so as to ensure the team's victory..."

"Now, Mr. Mourinho should be very anxious. They are in a dilemma."

"On the one hand, they need to attack, but at the same time, Mr. Mourinho is most worried about defense. Liverpool has Jack. Lee, this player is considered to have the ability to change the game. If Chelsea let go of the attack, their defense will go wrong. If Liverpool seizes another opportunity, Chelsea can announce its unconditional surrender at Anfield..."

Kinson made a funny final speech.

Kinson's argument is recognized by many fans. His words are indeed very reasonable. Every team will choose the most favorable way to play the game. For Liverpool, they should take the initiative to choose defense, which is the most favorable way for Liverpool. In contrast, the Blues Chelsea can only fight to the death in the disadvantage. Even if they are better at defensive counterattacks, what role can the defensive counterattack play when the other side is leading?

If you want to score a goal, you still have to take the initiative to attack.

※※※

After the second half of the game began, the fans also saw Chelsea's attack.

This is obvious.

In the first half, Chelsea have been defending. Their tactics are obvious defensive counterattacks. At Anfield, they have been playing very passively. Due to Liverpool's sharper attack, they have not had any good opportunities. Such a game is really ugly. Similarly, the result also made Chelsea It's a little ugly. They didn't fight back, but let Liverpool score a goal, and they fell behind.

As soon as the second half began, Chelsea began to look for propulsion, and they fought a position.

Lampard gave the ball to Scott. Parker, the latter passed diagonally to Damien on the side. Duff, Duff dribbled the ball. When he got to the front court and saw that there was no chance, he immediately passed it back to Parker. Parker received the ball and passed it to Lampard, who passed it directly to the front of the penalty area. Drogba, who had been waiting for the opportunity, wanted to shoot, but Terry had been entangled with him. Finally, Mr. Warcraft chose to pass back to Scott. Parker.

After a few passes, the football was handed over to Lampard's feet.

Chelsea's first wave of attack did not seem to be impatient. They kept passing and receiving the ball in the front court and took the initiative to find a shooting opportunity. Without a chance, they kept passing the ball in the midfield and front court to make Liverpool passive by controlling the ball.

This kind of positional play makes Chelsea seem to take the initiative in the attack.

However, Liverpool's defense is also very stable. At the front of the penalty area, Benitez has assigned a lot of defensive tasks. Gerard, Alonso and Carragher form a solid defense. It is difficult for Chelsea to advance to the front of Liverpool's penalty area in this way. Even if they get here, the ball is easy to change.

Chelsea plays Liverpool in this offensive way, which seems to be a little underestimated.

Soon, Scott. Parker made a mistake, and the football was directly robbed by Gerrard, followed by Liverpool's counterattack. Gerrard handed the ball to Alonso in front of him, who passed it directly to Don Jack's point.

Jack Don is on the right side. He remembers the assistant coach's words and intends to carry the ball in the middle, but at this time, there is only one Glen on the side road. Johnson, and Chelsea's defense must have relaxed a lot after a wave of attack just now. Don Jack still chose to break through with the ball on the right side.

But soon, he found that Lampard had followed.

"It's not a loss for Frank..."

Don Jack didn't expect Lampard to follow so quickly. As soon as he started, he was intercepted by Lampard and a big black player of the other side. He rushed forward. That half was an offensive foul and would directly knock the opponent to the ground. In the face of such an old-fashioned defense, Don Jack could only stop.

At this time, he was shocked with a glance - the Chelsea player has returned to defense!

Originally, this was a very fast steal counterattack, but Chelsea was still on the attack just now. In a blink of an eye, the opponent's defense was back in place, and Don Jack couldn't help but be surprised. But there is nothing he can do. It has happened. He can only give the ball to his teammates and look for opportunities.

When the other side is prepared, it is definitely impossible to score a goal if he wants to attack. As a result, this attack ends with the other side forcing him to kick out of bounds, and then the sideline ball is grabbed by the opponent.

"The whole audience is forced to rob!"

Seeing the scene of grabbing the ball, many Liverpool players feel that they have understood Chelsea's tactics. The other side seems to be using a wide range of running and rushing the whole game to control the situation and intercept Liverpool's counterattack. At the same time, they are advancing with positional battles and constantly looking for opportunities.

Soon, it was Chelsea's attack again, and the initiator of the attack was assault forward Joe. Cole.

At Chelsea, as a native England midfielder, Joe. Cole's position is very embarrassing. In the era of Lasser pinching, he existed as a winger, but now the team has introduced the Dutch genius Robben, plus the original left-footed player Damien, who can play on both sides of the team. Duff, the two are also left-footed players. The continuous conversion of the left and right middle is really sharp enough to make Joe. Cole even felt that he had no place in the team.

In England, he is a player between a substitute and a main player, and in Chelsea, he is also such a player.

But in this game, Mourinho let Joe. Cole responded behind Drogba. He played the role of a assault forward as a link between the midfield and the front court. After receiving the pass, Joe. Cole divided the ball to the left, cooperated with Duff, and then passed the ball to the front of the penalty area.

Droba rushed forward!

It was Gerard who stood side by side with him. In the second half, Gerard had been staring at Drogba without any relaxation, but Mr. Warcraft's physical and physical condition were so good that he was a little overwhelmed. Fortunately, Gerrard still struggled to raise the ball to the bottom line before Drogba.

Chelsea's corner kick.

As expected, John. Terry came forward.

As Chelsea's iron-blooded central defender and team captain, John. Terry's role in the team should not be underestimated. In fact, he is very good at headers and assists. Unfortunately, some people in the team do better than him. After all, he is an amateur. However, in terms of headers, Terry can still ensure efficiency. He can score three to five or more goals every season, usually by headers.

Chelsea corner kick, Terry came forward, and he came to earn the top.

Don Jack also returned to his own penalty area. Now it's his turn to keep an eye on Terry, and the work of the two is reversed. Terry was a little excited. In the first half, he had been 'bullied' by this dark-haired boy, and now God seems to want him to turn the table.

The football flew out of Lampard's feet and flew to the back point of the penalty area. At the moment of getting up, Terry was about to rush to the header, but at this time, he found that the boy around him had jumped up.

"Is he crazy?" Terry muttered to himself, but his body movements remained unchanged. He tried his best to stick to the ball and wanted to head the ball to the goal. He thought that in that position just now, the black-haired boy jumped up so early and would definitely not get the ball.

But the next moment, Terry found that he was wrong: the dark-haired boy rested in the air for at least a second, and then he put the ball out of the penalty area over his head. At this time, his body began to fall down.

"Will you fall down?" This is Don Jack's idea.

But Terry is no longer like this. Following the direction of the football, he found that a blue figure was already standing there in the open space outside the penalty area. His number told Terry that maybe Chelsea were going to score a goal---

Lampard!!!

No one noticed when Lampard walked out of the penalty area. Anyway, Lampard is now in front of the ball and unguarded. When the football flew over, he ran a few steps directly forward. After that, he immediately waved his right foot and twitched hard against the rolling football!

The football rushed to the net.

"Dong!"

A sound seemed to announce that Liverpool had escaped another disaster, but this time it was not so lucky. After the football bounced on the post, it directly turned and flew into the goal line...

"Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Frank-Lampard-"

"!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The media supporting Chelsea sent out a surprise carnival. Just before the beginning of the second half, Chelsea scored a goal to equalize the score. Finally, Mr. Mourinho's face was full of joy on the sidelines, and they finally caught up.

But in this game, Liverpool coach Benitez muttered to himself: "We... I was fooled..." His face was very flat, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
