Chapter 336 Shit Luck!
"Shit luck!" After seeing Liverpool equalize the score, Mourinho on the coach's bench complained to himself.
Mourinho has always felt that Chelsea has a tactical advantage, but now Liverpool have scored. He doesn't think this goal is Liverpool's tactics or something, just because Chelsea's defense has a loophole and is caught by the opponent. This is not shit.
However, he has no pressure on the goal. If Liverpool continues to play like this, it is only a matter of time for Chelsea to score. The opponent will score one. Anyway, it is only now that they are tied, and the team still have many opportunities.
Such an idea also appears in the topic of those football commentators.
"Although they scored a goal, Liverpool's situation is not very good. If they want to win, they must score the next goal. But Mourinho's team has always been well defended..."
"Jack has always performed well. I hope he can bring good news to the fans today."
"However, during this period, it should be said that Jack is the only player who has performed in Liverpool throughout the game. It is rumored that Liverpool is a one-man team. This view is also reasonable. On the offensive side, whether it is assists, shooting, or some other data, Jack is too good. He is better than Liverpool. The symbol of Gerrard's performance is much better. This season, Liverpool can really be regarded as a one-man team, and it is Jack's crazy performance that Liverpool can play. We hope that the results of this traditional giant can continue..."
After talking about this topic, the invited commentator of British BBC Sports TV said about the game: "Now after the competition that began in the second half, the two teams have stood on the same level again. Liverpool's main attack and Chelsea's main defense, then the midfield has become the key. The team with an advantage in the midfield, whether it is offensive or If you fight back, it will be very threatening. After Liverpool's pressure, the midfielder formed a situation of playing more and less, with some advantages, but as long as Chelsea comes forward, Liverpool's situation will definitely not be maintained, because their midfield ability is still worse than Chelsea's..."
As the commentator said, Benitez is also worried about this problem.
Compared with Chelsea, Liverpool's midfield is really a little weak. The result is that as long as one attack is lost, it will usher in Chelsea's quick counterattack. The team's midfield cannot effectively intercept at all, which makes it easy for Chelsea to hit the ball into the penalty area or even the goal range.
Once or twice is okay, and the number of times is more, which also causes a lot of psychological pressure on the players.
Benitez now only hopes that Liverpool's attack can take the lead in breaking the goal. In that case, the situation will show a new situation. At that time, the initiative will be in Liverpool's hands.
Don Jack is also working hard for this.
The football came from the left. He suddenly shook off Carvalho who followed him, ran a few steps forward, and made a small stroke with his left foot against the football. The football rolled back around Don Jack. Carvalho behind him did not react at all. The next moment, Don Jack had twisted his waist and forcibly turned around Carvalho to catch up. Ball.
"Beautiful! Jack! Jack!"
This clean and neat turn-around action won the praise of the fans. Whenever Don Jack gets the ball, Liverpool fans will be like playing chicken blood. They are so excited that they can't help themselves. They crazily shout Don Jack's name to cheer for Don Jack.
The voice of the whole audience made Don Jack firmer the idea that he must score first.
After getting rid of Carvalho, at the front end of Chelsea's penalty area, he glanced at the goal with a small change of direction and let John. Terry's reaction slowed down by half a beat. At such a time, Jack Tang had already shot!
"Dong!"
A powerful volley flew towards the Chelsea goal. Cech stared at the ball and rushed the ball out of the upper right corner.
"Wow..." The voice of regret sounded, but before the fans consumed the attack on Liverpool, the next time came again.
※※※
In Liverpool's offensive formation, Don Jack has completely become a standard front midfielder.
In modern football, the traditional position of the front waist has rarely been mentioned. Everyone says that it is avant-garde, because it is not obvious to play in the game on the court. Generally, the coach assigns tasks and does not specifically mention the role of the front-court players. However, the front waist is naturally about to be eliminated.
But now, Don Jack is the front waist!
What does the front waist do?
It can be said that in previous football games, the front waist of a team was the most important person on the offensive end of the team. The front waist is not only responsible for the task of passing the ball and leading the team's attack, but also takes into account the goal task. Often the front waist of a team will become the key object of the opponent's defense.
If you want to play such a task, you need absolute strength. Often, the players who are outstanding in this position are all world superstars, such as Maradona, Ronaldinho and so on. Although the division of the front waist is not obvious now, they can generally be said to be the front waist.
Gerard and Lampard's players are not in this category, because although they are the players who organize the offensive, they are also too backward on the offensive end, and they also take into account defensive tasks, so they can only be the core.
In fact, few Premier League teams have the saying that they have a front waist.
But now, when the fans see the performance of the dark-haired boy on the court, they feel that he has really become the front of Liverpool. No matter which attack, no matter where the football is, the fans can see his performance.
※※※
Robben took the ball on the left side and saw a Liverpool defender running over. He immediately poked the ball to Lampard. Lampard got the ball and was surrounded by two Liverpool players. He did not panic, but quickly carried the ball to the right along the big penalty area line. At this time, the Liverpool players were somewhat nervous. If a dangerous ball was passed in this position, the team would be really dangerous.
Walking to the far corner of the penalty area, Lampard directly stretched out his right foot and stepped on the ball, and then hit the ball to Bridge behind him with his left heel. Bridge aimed at the rolling football and volley!
Unfortunately, except for a few special stars, the footwork of the full-back is often not very good.
Kirkland easily hugged the weak ball with both hands, and then waved his arm and threw the ball to the back defense. Gerrard came out and passed to the front end, which was Don Jack near the middle circle.
During this period, Chelsea also played two sets of counterattacks, but although Liverpool strengthened their attack, they slightly strengthened their defense. Chelsea can get a chance, but their threatening players were defended very tightly. Liverpool, which did not have an advantage, almost allowed those 'shooting edge' players to start. This is to reduce the chances of Chelsea scoring.
It is also the poor performance of these Chelsea players. When they have the opportunity, they are often excited and kick the ball away, just like Bridge just now. Obviously, there is a good opportunity, but he is smart, and the result of this is often not worth the loss.
Then, it became a chance for Liverpool.
Don Jack carried John Terry hard with his body, stopped the ball firmly under his feet, then hit his heel, turned around and threw Terry away and ran forward. Chelsea's attack was a little forward just now. There were two defensive players in front of him. This was a rare opportunity. He felt that his blood was boiling again.
"Hey!"
A big man's roar made Don Jack's blood directly turn into a freezing point. Makelelele saw the danger and tackled the ball directly. The referee whistled to signal a foul. Makelelele got his first yellow card in the game, and Liverpool got a slightly distant free kick.
This free kick position is a little far away, about ten meters at the front of the penalty area, 27 or 8 meters away from the goal. Makelele's foul also found the right position. At least Gerrard can rarely score such a long free kick, which is also Liverpool's weakness.
The Chelsea players who know Liverpool's information very well were relieved and exchanged a yellow card for a very threatening attack, which was also very worth it.
※※※
"I'll do it!"
The Liverpool player discussed who would take the penalty in front of the ball. Gerrard wanted to take the penalty himself, mainly because the Liverpool team was the only one with his best footwork, and he was not a good person.
"I'll try it?" Jack Tang also said that he felt that he usually trained a lot, and the arc ball was also likely to score, and he had an advantage that he was very powerful. At least the speed of the ball he kicked would be very fast, but he didn't have much confidence in his heart. The main reason was that the arc ball was too difficult.
He doesn't care about a ball, but feels that he may have a bigger chance of shooting.
However, at this time, no one expected Alonso to speak. This shy Spanish boy rarely quarreled with Gerald and Don Jack once. He said, "... Let me do it. I want to try it, too.
On weekdays, there is only one free thrower in Liverpool. If Don Jack wants to shoot, let him shoot. Other players have almost no chance. The main reason is that the efficiency of the two is too high and the deterrent is too strong. Other players have no right in front of them. This is the importance of a team. It's decided.
Harvey. Although Alonso is also the main player of the team, compared with the first two, he can only be regarded as an ordinary player. He is barely qualified for a main position in Liverpool. It is more because no one is available in Liverpool that he can keep the center position. Otherwise, with his recent bad state, he has long been replaced by other players. .
This time, it is rare for someone to compete for a free throw. Don Jack doesn't mind giving up one. Besides, he has a good relationship with Alonso.
"Okay, you come on. I'll grab some in the front." He said so.
Alonso still has some ambitions.
When he was in Spain, he was a talented Spanish player. Alonso felt that even if he came to the big team, he could get the main position. In the Spanish team, although he was not the main player, it was only a matter of time. This is the mainstream view of the mass media, and few people would think that Alonso There is no future, mainly because his performance is so good.
But after coming to Liverpool, Alonso has been dissatisfied with his performance.
Not adapting to the style of the Premier League is the first problem of his poor performance. There is another problem, that is, there are two very strong people in the team. Alonso did not analyze the problem so thoroughly, but he knew that he should have some performance in the team during such a game.
When he was in Real Sociedad, he was the core of the team. Last season, almost all free kicks were given to him. When it came to Liverpool, because he had to adapt to the new environment, it was impossible for him to grab the free throw with his teammates, and with his skills, it was impossible to grab Gerard.
If Gerrard took a free throw, he would definitely not grab it, but Don Jack spoke.
In Liverpool, among Alonso's few friends, there is Don Jack. The relationship between the two is very good. He grabs Jack Don's ball. He thinks that because of friendship, the latter will agree, and Gerard... At least Alonso can't guarantee it.
Alonso doesn't have the confidence to really score, but his teammates don't have the confidence.
When he was in the Royal Society, he often took this kind of free kick. In terms of experience and technology, he thought he was not worse than his teammates. Now in this game, he has no good performance. There is only one assist data, but Alonso knows that it is not because of how good he passes the ball, but because of the brunette boy. The strength is too strong.
He is not satisfied.
So Alonso wanted to force himself to take a free throw and force himself to have a good performance.

Standing in front of the ball, Alonso was still a little nervous.
Tens of thousands of Liverpool players at Anfield were paying attention to him, and the sports media in various countries and regions around the world aimed the camera at him. For the first time, Alonso felt that he had received so much attention. He tried to relax and only focused on Chelsea's goal and wall. Count the strength you have to kick in a while.
Chelsea players don't care. If it's Gerrard's free throw or Don Jack's free throw, they will definitely be a little nervous, but Harvey. Alonso? This touted Spanish boy? What's so terrible about him?
They didn't see anything strange about this boy during the whole game.
The performance is average, and the ability is average... Everything is average.......
A very ordinary player has little influence on them as the top team in the Premier League. Now that he comes to take the free throw, Liverpool must want to play another free kick!
Thinking of this, Chelsea was nervous.
The first reaction of the players on the field was to observe the position of Liverpool No. 10. Before them, John. Terry and Carvalho, two Chelsea defense generals, have been closely following Don Jack for a long time.
"Huh..."
After taking a long breath, the Chelsea player immediately went to find another person and saw Gerard standing on the left side of the penalty area, which was the edge of the human wall. Bridge immediately reminded, "Roben, pay attention to the guy next to you!" He is not polite. You know, when he was in the England team, he didn't dare to talk loudly to Gerrard. The status of the two can be seen, and he became that guy on the court. No wonder he has not been very popular in the Chelsea team.
But this is a little useful. At least Robben paid attention to Gerrard. He leaned close to Gerrard to prevent the latter from suddenly starting.
"Bing..."
With a soft whistle, the referee signaled that he could take a free throw. Chelsea players are ready, and they have been staring at the ball under Alonso's feet.
Alonso calmed down, exhaled two breaths, and looked up at the Chelsea goal. He took two steps on his calves and trotted forward. In the rhythm, he waved his right foot and pulled it to the bottom of the football.
At the moment the football started, the camera was even lined up with grass chips.
"Wow... La....."
In the exclamation of the fans, the football flew over the wall. When it was about to fly out of the goal, it suddenly fell down and fell directly into the right foot of the Chelsea goal. Although Cech had been staring at the ball, he still did not react in this sudden change, but watched the ball fly in.
"Wo..." The whole audience was in an uproar.
Two seconds later, Liverpool fans began to cheer crazily, and they finally realized that the goal was scored!!!
"Gooooooooooal!!!!!!!!!!"
Sky TV's football commentator Kimson raised his voice and exclaimed loudly, as if to cover up his embarrassment. At the last moment, he still said that Liverpool would definitely be a tactical free kick, but Alonso's ball was like a huge slap on his face. At this moment, Kimson felt himself Being smoked... It's cool!!!
"Goooooal!!!"
"The goal is scored! Harvey-Alonso-, direct free kick!!!"
Even Benitez did not expect that the ball would be scored directly. When he saw Alonso standing in front of the ball, he thought that the players were discussing how to cooperate tactically. Although he trusted Alonso, he only in terms of midfield ability, he did not expect that the ball would be scored directly.
When the goal was scored, the Spaniard looked at the stands in disbelief. When he saw the many Liverpool fans cheered crazily, he finally believed his eyes: "The ball is scored! Oh, my God! Harvey, good job!"
Benitez seemed to pick up from the coach's seat like a child, and then hugged each other with the players on the bench. At this moment, he felt that his vision was so wise.
Contrary to the Spaniard's performance, Mourinho on the Chelsea coach's bench stamped his feet angrily. He walked around and kept saying something. If he was close, he could hear the Portuguese saying: "Shit luck! Shit luck!"
I don't know whether he is talking about Liverpool's goal or Benitez's good luck.
In a word, he is really not in a good mood.
Just now, Chelsea was still leading. After a long time, the team became a backward side. This is somewhat unacceptable to Mourinho, who is praised as the 'championship coach' by the world. What he can't accept is that he seems to lose to the Spaniard!
This... How can it work?
Mourinho has always looked down on Benitez, which is like jealousy between geniuses. Originally, few coaches can achieve his achievements at this age, but the Spaniard is not much worse than him in the same year. It can be said that without him, the Spaniard might have achieved It is the object of the world's praise.
Such a situation may make Mourinho feel that the latter has the possibility to catch up with him, so he has always been "disdainful" to Benitez. When the reporter mentions Benitez, Mourinho will be in a bad mood.
Now, his team is really going to lose to the other team, and his mood can be imagined.
"What should I do now?"
After coming to England, Mourinho felt panic for the first time.
But on the other side, the Spaniard has confidently said to the assistant coach, "We are sure to win!"
