Chapter 334 Stupid Decision
For the first time, Jack Don was annoyed by why he jumped so high and why he was so timely... As a result, he didn't look at the direction of the ball and only pushed the ball out of the penalty area, giving Lampard a chance outside the penalty area.
What about arguing with Terry?
In the end, he almost passed the ball to Lampard outside the penalty area, who shot directly and let Chelsea equalize the score.
Such a result is not what you think at all, nor is it what Liverpool wants to see. When Chelsea tied the score, the two teams stood on the same starting line. No, in terms of the league, the draw is very beneficial to Chelsea. They have four more league points than Liverpool. They can fully accept a draw, and the best chance for Liverpool to overtake Chelsea is this game, so, Liverpool It is unacceptable.
Failure, can't accept it!
For the first time, Don Jack is so unwilling, but it takes a lot of opportunity and luck to score the next goal. Chelsea's defense is as stable as a rock. Even he doesn't want to score a goal. So, what should he do now?
※※※
Don Jack is chagrined, and at the same time, Liverpool coach Benitez on the sidelines is also chagrined.
The Spaniard is annoyed that he is different from Don Jack. He doesn't care about the process of scoring just now. No matter how he scored, in short, the final result is that the opponent has scored a goal, and the form has changed. It can be said that at the tactical level, now the two teams have a new game. The stage, so the goal itself is irrelevant at all.
The important thing is...
"How did Lampard appear in that position just now?"
This is where Benitez is puzzled. According to Chelsea's offensive style just now, after the football was passed to the penalty area, a player like Lampard actually inserted from behind, which is the most puzzling. At the time of getting up, Lampard should have stood in front of that position, but he appeared. Is that location a coincidence?
Benitez never believes in coincidences!
So, he reviewed the several offensive and defensive conversions just now, and then suddenly found that he was fooled!
No, it should be said that Liverpool's whole team has been fooled: Chelsea did not use any big offensive tactics at all, but has been fighting defensive counterattacks, and their focus is still on defense. It is also for this reason that their defense and counterattack speed is extremely fast, while the propulsion attack is slow to fight.
What's more, when advancing the attack, rare players in the midfield are inserted into the front court. How can they break through Liverpool's defense in a short time?
So, when Liverpool counterattacked, they felt that Chelsea's defense was so fast, because they didn't play real positional propulsion at all. Several midfielders just came forward a little and put on the illusion of an attack, but their position has not been forward, so when they were suddenly robbed, they had full time. Withdraw the defense.
The team, including myself, was really fooled!
So what should we do now?
While Benitez was thinking, in the corner of the audience of Anfield Stadium, the Chelsea fans who came to watch the ball with the team had fallen into an ocean of joy. They cheered crazily and kept venting their excitement. In fact, these Chelsea fans have been holding back for long enough. For Chelsea fans, the previous games were all a tragedy. Chelsea fans have been suppressed when they saw the team. After suppressing the whole half, they thought that the team should be the first goal at the usual pace, but the result was The team is lagging behind.
Such aggrieved game is really depressing. Some Chelsea fans even leave halfway. They don't want to see a depressing confrontation, and they don't want to see their team suppressed, which is also a kind of love for Chelsea.
Now, these persistent fans finally saw the team score goals as they wished!
This is really happy!!!
"Frank-Frank-"
Fans shout out Lampard's name. In the hearts of Chelsea fans, the team's biggest star is undoubtedly Lampard, not only because he loves English stars, but also because Lampard's performance in Chelsea is really good. He and Terry can be regarded as Chelsea's 'local stars': in Abramowi. Before they moved to Chelsea, they were in Chelsea and were fans' favorite stars.
Other stars are different.
For example, Drogba, Robben, and Carvalho and Maclelele. These players were all introduced by waving checks after Abramovich moved into Chelsea. They and Lampard's DC's 'old minister' have a completely different status in the hearts of the fans. For players like Lampard, Chelsea fans can I think that's the representative of Chelsea, the logo of Chelsea, but the fans who came later feel differently. They think that this kind of player is definitely not as good as the original players. No matter how skilled and level they are, they just come to Chelsea for money, not anything else.
This idea is very strange.
But in fact, there is such an indicator in the hearts of Chelsea fans, so no matter how good Drogba and others perform, they are not as prestigious as Lampard and Terry among Chelsea fans. Looking at Lampard scoring such a goal, almost all Chelsea fans cheered crazily.
In such laughter, Lampard in the field also excitedly ran to the fans' stands, waved to the Chelsea fans, and thanked them for coming to Anfield with the team to watch the game.
Such a scene was seen in the eyes of Benitez. He kept looking at Lampard and thinking about the next countermeasures. The Chelsea players did not celebrate for a long time. After a minute and a half, the two teams stood on the court and were ready to start the game again. At this time, Benitez was still thinking.
As a master of tactics, Benitez believes in his ability.
He knows that at present, it is a very important decision for Liverpool and for the game. If his decision is wrong, it may affect Liverpool's progress throughout the league. After all, losing the game will open a seven-point gap with Chelsea. It is too difficult and difficult to catch up.
Even with an excellent player like Don Jack, Benitez has no confidence.
Liverpool's record is very good, but Chelsea's record is better!
※※※
When the game restarted, the two teams still adhered to the way they played just now.
In fact, Liverpool players don't have much feeling. They just think it was just an accident. I'm afraid that ordinary coaches will think so. Only an excellent tactical master like Benitez will see the problem at a glance.
While thinking, the Spaniard took a look at the head coach Mourinho on the Chelsea bench next to him, who looked leisurely with his right leg up, as if he was enjoying a golf game that had nothing to do with him. The Portuguese seemed to feel the way he looked at him. At the same time, he also looked over and smiled at Benitez.
That smile is so abominable to the Spaniards!
"Are you laughing?" He even has a little child's desire to fight.
After a smile, Mourinho turned his head and looked at the court, making Benitez unable to 'strike back'. He probably cursed the Portuguese with the most vicious curse in his heart, but he kept thinking about countermeasures. After a minute, under the inexplicable eyes of many people, Benitez bit fiercely. Ya walked slowly to the edge of the court and looked at Gerrard, who was running on the court.
Then, he waved his hands forward and nodded to Gerard.
This action commonly used by football coaches around the world has attracted the attention of almost all the media reporters and cameras present. The meaning it represents can be easily said by any fan who knows something about football, that is---
"Attack!"
No, Benitez means more desperate. In Liverpool, this action represents: attack at all costs!
※※※
"Mr. Benitez's action..."
"God! Liverpool's head coach, Mr. Benitez, made a surprising decision. He actually made the team attack!!"
"Is it an attack?"
"Now that the game is going on, will Liverpool be right to choose to attack when the two teams are tied? It seems that Benitez will never be satisfied with a draw. He needs the team's victory!"
Sky TV commentator Kimson analyzed: "... In the current situation, it is unwise for Liverpool to choose to attack. Chelsea is best at defensive counterattacks, and it is better to advance the position battle. But if they choose to attack, like in the first half of the game, will Liverpool be in a very passive situation..."
"... Maybe he's right. Liverpool has no choice. The draw is unacceptable to them!"
No matter what these commentators think, Benitez's command has been sent out, and Liverpool has pushed forward on the whole line, changing from a defensive counterattack to an offensive formation.
Liverpool's 3511 formation has both offense and defense. The five midfields can be defensive, and they can also attack with both wings. Even if there are three defenders, they can also plug in two when attacking at all costs. This formation is obviously more aggressive than defense.
You can do your best... Attack!!!?
Not to mention other media reporters and commentators, even Liverpool players did not expect the coach to command the team like this. After they were at a loss, they immediately felt a sense of excitement!
Yes, I'm excited!
Which team's coach will make the team attack with all its strength?
Now, Liverpool's coach dares to try this tactic, and when his opponent is Chelsea, the first and powerful blue team in the league table, this kind of move is similar to a little crazy, but it excites Liverpool players who have never tried to play like this.
Attack is what players like. No one likes aggrieved defense. The game should be all offensive. Not only fans like to watch such games, but the players who participate in it are actually the same. They really hope that the team can attack with all their strength, especially those who enter. Attackers, so that they can play fully. Now that they have the opportunity, and it is the coach's command, how can they not be excited?
Liverpool fans sang the song "You will never walk alone" to cheer for Liverpool's attack!
Among them, many fans do not understand any tactics or how to deal with the situation of the two teams. They only know how to support the team. Now the team's situation is not very good. They hope to arouse the fighting spirit of the warriors on the field with songs. They hope to make even a little contribution to the team's victory.
The song seems to arouse the fighting spirit of the players. In Anfield's **, Liverpool began the first wave after adjusting tactics.
※※※
Don Jack stood at the front end of the right wing. His position was in the right corner of the penalty area. When the team sounded the offensive horn, he ran towards this position, which was also where he should have appeared after adjusting the tactics.
Looking at the teammates constantly passing and ceving the ball near the midfield and front court looking for opportunities, Don Jack felt relieved.
In this game, he has always been playing as the core of the team's offensive. Such a role puts him under a lot of pressure. Fortunately, he did a good job before, but when Chelsea equalized the score, Don Jack was even more pressure. Anyway, he led the team to attack. If he lost, there must be Some of my own responsibilities.
But now, these pressures don't exist!
When he saw the coach's move, Don Jack immediately felt relieved. When the team attacked with all his strength, there was no doubt that the core of the attack would be Gerard, because the latter did not have the task of organizing defense, so Gerard would be the core of the attack, the organizer of the team's attack, and he really became a The striker is also a striker.
Scorer, what you should do is to score a goal!
Don Jack has no pressure on this. He knows his strength. As long as the team can let go of the attack, he will definitely have a chance. At that time, as long as he scores more goals than the opponent, the team may not lose.
What if there is something wrong with the defense? As long as the goal is guaranteed, everything is guaranteed!
This is Don Jack's simple opinion. As a striker, he should have such confidence. A striker who complains about the backcourt defense is incompetent and can use his own goals to keep the defensive player from the pressure of losing the ball. Such a forward shooter is really the most competent. It is very simple to say, but history is Come on, how many strikers can do this?
Probably, count it with both hands!
"Harvey! Pay attention to my location!"
Thoughts did not affect Don Jack's concentration in the game. When the football passed to the middle, Don Jack immediately shouted and reminded Alonso, and suddenly shook off the defensive player who followed him and went straight to the penalty area.
At the same time, Alonso received the ball. When he controlled the ball left and right, he dodged the gap and hung the ball high in the penalty area and hung the ball to Don Jack's point.
So fast speed makes the opponent's central defender John. Terry didn't realize it at all. He was standing in the middle of the penalty area, and the main target was the straight Baroche. When Don Jack entered the penalty area, Terry just planned to change the defense, but the football had been hung over Don Jack's head.
Terry watched the dark-haired boy in front of him jump up, swing his head, and attack the door!
The football turned an angle and flew to the lower right corner of the goal. Cech quickly pulled the ball out, but the whole process still shocked Terry in a cold sweat. As long as Cech reacted a little slower, or the football was a little more deflected, I'm afraid the current score has been rewritten!
"What are you doing! Watch out for people! Fuck!"
After being frightened, Terry shouted at Johnson and Carvalho. The former was just responsible for defending Don Jack, while the latter was not in place. If the ball was lost, it must be the responsibility of both of them. But Terry seems to have forgotten that he also wanted to make up for the defense just now, but he didn't shoot before the other side came. I'm afraid it's the same from Carvalho's perspective.
With only a wave of attacks, Chelsea almost lost the goal.
※※※
At this time, Mourinho on the Chelsea bench did not look much worried.
In the eyes of the Portuguese, Benitez's tactical decision is unwise. He appreciates that the other party can see through his intentions, but he still has some grasp of his tactics. Even if Benitez sees through, Chelsea has equalized the score, and the initiative is in the hands of Chelsea, that is, in his hands. What can he be passive?
Liverpool's full attack?
"What a stupid decision..."
Mourinho thinks so. Chelsea is good at defensive counterattacks. Liverpool are in the middle of this. The consequences of full attack often lead to a serious lack of defense. At that time, as long as Chelsea is a little forced to grab, the right to change the ball will become a threatening counterattack opportunity for Chelsea.
Isn't it obvious who wins and who loses?
In this kind of thinking, Liverpool completed another wave of attack on the court. At the front of the penalty area, Makelele's interception made Alonso lose a square inch. The latter's mistake in the direction of the ball made the French man easily grab the ball, and then a big foot gave the midfielder Drogba a chance.
Mr. Warcraft is relieved!
Throughout the whole game, Drogba has not performed well, mainly because Liverpool's defense is too solid, and because of Chelsea's tactics, he has never had much chance to perform. Now, football is at Drogba's feet, and there is only one defensive player in the opponent's backcourt.
Drogba didn't care who the man was at all, so he rushed forward with the ball crazily!
As an African player, there is indeed a reason why he can have a value of more than 20 million pounds. Drogba is not only physically strong, but also world-class in speed and technology. When he takes the ball, Haipia, who defends in the backcourt, can only follow him. A 30-year-old defender has an advantage in experience, but he can compete with Drogba. Such a player has nothing to fight for his body and speed.
When Drogba dribbled the ball to the big penalty area line, Haipia was pulled down at least three positions!
The goalkeeper Kirkland attacked!
But Drogba came over angrily. He must have prepared himself. At the moment when Kirkland threw the ball, Drogba's left foot rubbed under the football, and the football went around the top of Kirkland's head, drew a semi-circular arc, and flew to the direction of the goal, all in Anfield. Under the eyes of the fans, he bounced on the ground and crossed the door line.
The goal is scored!
One to two!
"Mr. Benitez's tactics seem unwise..." With this goal, the commentators began their daily nagging again. They thought that Benitez made a tactical mistake. How could they use offensive tactics in the face of a team like Chelsea?
Look, now Chelsea's counterattack made an easy goal.
Liverpool is behind!
