Chapter 337 Almighty Warrior
"We are sure to win!!!"
This is a kind of determination, an attitude, and a kind of self-confidence!
Whether before the start of the game or just before that moment, the Spaniards had never had such confidence in playing against Chelsea, but when Liverpool overtook the score again, they saw Harvey. At the moment when Alonso scored a free kick, Benitez was very sure that Liverpool would win.
Confidence, this is the quality that a good coach must have.
When Liverpool fell behind and looked at the passive team, Benitez was determined to attack. He did not believe that he could not break Chelsea's defense with his team's offensive ability. They were defensive counterattacks, but the team's offensive ability was not necessarily less than their defensive counterattack goals, which was his confidence.
But even so, Benitez was still a little uneasy.
He does not have a certain mastery of the game, which makes everything depend on the struggle of the players on the field. His own team knows that Benitez only trusts a limited number of players such as Don Jack, Gerard and Carragher on the court. The state of other players can be said to be completely unsure, and Benitez himself is only I can pray for God to help Liverpool.
I don't know whether God came or not. Anyway, Alonso surprised him and scored a free kick, which directly changed the course of the game. This made Liverpool, who was in a passive position, take the initiative at once.
Victory is expected and reachable!
When the assistant coach and other Liverpool bench players heard Benitez' words, their confidence also soared. This is the personal charm brought by Benitez after working in Liverpool for so long, but some people still wonder what gives the Spaniards so much self-confidence in the face of a strong Chelsea, Can Liverpool really guarantee victory?
There are still 20 minutes left in the game. It seems that everything is possible, right?
However, Benitez trusts himself!
He can't make the same mistake twice. At the end of the first half of the game, Liverpool was in the lead. In the second half, the formation changed too fast, and he was also a little panicked. But now the players on the field have recovered the score. He can't make the same mistake again. That's really a fool.
The team is leading and the opponent is good at defense, so what should Liverpool do?
Defensive!
Benitez can say this word without hesitation. As long as the team also defends, what can Chelsea do? They will definitely take the initiative to attack. In this way, the initiative is in the hands of the team. They are the ones who have loopholes in the defense, and it is they who must score goals. In this case, if Liverpool can't hold on for 20 minutes, then they can only complain about God.
※※※
When the game restarted, Benitez immediately came to the sidelines to communicate with Gerrard, and soon Liverpool made tactical adjustments.
This adjustment is obvious. When Chelsea defended again and prepared to fight back, they suddenly found that Liverpool on the opposite side obviously slowed down the attack, but it was also like a sticking. Even if Liverpool got the ball, but at the front end of the center line, there was only the other side's tall center - Czech star Milan. A player in Baroche.
And other players, including the opponent's most threatening No. 10, are in their own half...
How to play this?
Go and grab it!
Chelsea is behind. Liverpool is so shameless to spend time passing the ball in their own half. Chelsea players can only come forward to grab the ball. Anyway, if they want to score, they must get the ball first. There is no other way not to grab the ball.
However, this is inconsistent with Chelsea's style and the coach's layout.Some defensive players think that if there are too many people in the front, there will be loopholes in the team's defense. In this way, Chelsea's formation is very open. The attacking players think about how to score and equalize the score, while the defenders are worried about the sudden attack of the opponent. They have to stay in the backcourt and participate in the defense, so, Chelsea's formation has become a little messy.
Of course, this scene fell into the eyes of Chelsea coach Mourinho on the sidelines. In fact, he is more anxious than the players on the field, but the current situation can't help him to be anxious. He must make tactical adjustments, otherwise Liverpool can score another goal, and the team will really be unable to recover.
"Attack! Attack with all your strength!"
It was the first time that Mourinho, standing on the sidelines, was so anxious. He did what Benitez did more than ten minutes ago. He waved his arms crazily and told the Chelsea players on the field: We should attack with all our strength!
Just now, he felt that the Spaniard next to him was very funny when he did this action, and it was a stupid decision, but now he has to do the same action himself. The change on the football field is really fast. It's only a dozen minutes. The mood of the coaches of the two teams can be said to have changed from heaven to hell, and From hell to heaven.
As the head coach of a team, you can't do without a big heart! But even so, Mourinho still felt that the team was going to lose.
Chelsea won 12 games in 13 games. Such a record made Mourinho a little flustered. However, he was still sober. He knew that the team should get a failure. In this way, the players can recognize themselves and the strength of the team, and not be blindly arrogant, so that the next game schedule It's better now. Always winning is actually not a good thing, just like Arsenal. The result of insisting on being undefeated is that after their defeat, their achievements have plummeted and they have completely fallen into the First Legion. It can only be said that their players' mentality is unbalanced.
What Mourinho can't accept is that Chelsea lost to Liverpool!
The Portuguese can accept losing to Manchester United, losing to Arsenal, losing to Fulham, or even to a small club in England, but they can't accept losing to Liverpool, not only because Liverpool is the team's biggest competitor for the league championship this season, but also because Benitez is his biggest. The competitor!
In the coaching industry, there are not many people in the world who can be Mourinho's opponents, and Benitez is the best among them.
But the current form is that Mourinho leads Chelsea, which can be said to be a luxury lineup, and is about to lose to Liverpool at Anfield. It's not a big deal to lose a football match, but Mourinho is just like this game, and it is difficult for him to accept his defeat.
After commanding the team, Mourinho was still restless. Now the team's form makes him unable to sit in the coach's seat at all. Under the lens of many cameras, the Portuguese came to the fourth official and began his 'mouth escape' again.
"Sir, they are deliberately procrastinating. I'm going to file an appeal!"
"What?"
The fourth official obviously didn't react. He thought Mourinho had come to say something about the penalty of the game, but this guy's topic was not this.
"I want to appeal! Look how Liverpool is playing now. They are going back and down in the backcourt, which is a hindrance to sportsmanship!" Mourinho shouted at the top of his voice. In fact, the atmosphere at the Anfield Stadium was so warm that he didn't speak, and others couldn't hear what he said: "I want to appeal!" This is against sportsmanship. They are procrastinating!"
"..."
The fourth official rolled his eyes and completely ignored the twirly Mourinho.
This guy keeps chattering, but there is no reason at all. Liverpool has no sportsmanship. You Chelsea played the whole game of defense and always play tricks to counterattack and score goals. Now Liverpool is also defending, and they are in the backcourt, exactly the same as your playing method just now. This is no. Sports ethics?
In this case, I'm afraid your team led by Mourinho has never had physical ethics!
This is really only allowed state officials to set fire, and the people are not allowed to light the lights!
※※※
The behavior of the two coaches on the sidelines seems to be a stage play, but the game is the main line of the plot, and the coach's approach is just embellishment.
When the tactics of the two teams are adjusted, the game seems to have returned to the regular. Unlike just now, the tactics of the two teams have been completely adjusted, Chelsea's main attack and Liverpool's main defense.
For the first time since the start of the game, Chelsea has launched such a fierce offensive.
Damien with their two wings. The role of Duff and Robben is directly highlighted. These two full-backs are all left-footed players, Damien. Duff was introduced by former Chelsea coach Laser pinch. He has always wanted to introduce another front guard. In an interview with reporters a year ago, Laffer pinch once said: "... If there is another Damien, the left and right sides will continue to change, which will become the most powerful offensive weapon for the team.
So, he found Robben.
As a result, Lasser was kicked out of the door by Abramovich in the season. Mourinho took over the perfect Chelsea, and the combination of Robben and Duff also carried forward in his hands.
Although Chelsea's offensive is started by Lampard, Robben and Duff's attack on the side is the focus. Both of them are left-footed players, and they are both good at dribble, and the speed is also very fast. When they carry the ball to the front court on the side, they will adapt to choose the inner cut. Robben is better at internal cutting in the middle and then shooting. Duff chose to pass the ball to his teammates, so that the two players did not play cards according to the usual offensive routine, making the Liverpool defender a little big head.
There is Lampard in the middle.
Lampard, who is as famous as Gerrard, must not be underestimated. He is the core of Chelsea's attack. Almost all attacks are dominated by Lampard. Lampard can do better than Gerald in passing and receiving the ball. Although he is not good at excellence, not good at shooting by himself, and does not have an accurate long pass, but The strength of this pass has made Lampard stand out in the star-studded Chelsea.
When the football is in the middle, the combination of Lampard and front-court Drogba becomes the dominant offensive.
Mr. Warcraft finally played his role. In the penalty area, he was always accompanied by at least two Liverpool defenders. With Mr. Warcraft's height and body, both of them had a chance to shoot. He was Chelsea's biggest threat.
This form is very serious. Even if Benitez is confident that the team will play a good game, he is also worried about watching the game off the court. He is afraid that Chelsea can score the ball in the blink of an eye. Such a mentality makes the Spaniard's expression very solemn, and the tension revealed is shown in the outside.
At this time, Liverpool have returned to the full defense, including Baroche and Don Jack in the front court.
From the moment Chelsea's attack began, Don Jack returned to defense. Now he is no longer a rookie in the Premier League. In terms of defense, he quite understands his role.
Don Jack rarely participates in the team's defensive training, so his cooperation with his teammates can be said to be almost zero. In this case, he is not suitable to defend others with his teammates. The most suitable position is obviously to intercept Chelsea's pass at the front end of the penalty area. Compared with others, Jack Don has a great advantage, that is, his reaction speed is extremely fast. It can be said that after passing the football around him, as long as the direction is a little worse, he can stop it directly.
This is like a player like an interception machine that greatly relieves Liverpool's defensive pressure. When Don Jack gets the ball, Chelsea faces not only an offensive defeat, but also worries about Liverpool's counterattack led by Don Jack.
At the beginning, Don Jack stopped the ball twice, but Chelsea's defense was very fast, and the fans didn't feel anything.
But it didn't take long for him to become the leader of the whole game. At this time, many players no longer have the physical ability to open the game. If they can't run, they rarely run, while Don Jack is not. His physical energy is a little consumed, but it's not bad. At this time, in the face of Chelsea's continuous offensive. He finally began to be powerful!
Don Jack keeps running in the front court and chasing the football. He is like a perpetual motion machine, constantly forcing Chelsea to pass the ball, and they can't make too many mistakes. In this way, the pressure he brings to Chelsea players can be imagined.
In just three minutes, Don Jack took the ball twice in a row!
This data is very high. The consequence of the two take-offs is that Liverpool launched two fast attacks. Although there was no result, at least it successfully delayed the game. Chelsea did almost nothing in these three minutes. Their attack had no threat, but constantly filled the loopholes in the defense.
At this time, the Chelsea player finally noticed Liverpool's No. 10 boy again.
"Be careful of him!"
Damien, who just got the ball. Duff gritted his teeth. Before the game, he also said that Don Jack was a rookie in the Premier League, but now he seems to have become a rookie, which makes Duff a little unacceptable: "He is very explosive. Be careful not to make mistakes!" He said to Robben that the task of the two was almost the same, and reminding Robben seemed to be reminding himself.
But when he took the ball for the second time, the red No. 10 figure appeared in front of Duff.
"I won't be broken again..." He said that to himself.
Don Jack forced to grab it, and Duff dribbled the ball and glanced at his teammates with his eyes. But in such a distracted time, he saw the boy in front of him suddenly rushing over. He subconsciously hit the football with his foot and wanted to shake it away, but he found himself empty---
The ball is broken!
"When?" Duff was a little confused.
But as soon as he looked up, he saw a red figure staggering with himself. When he reacted and chased back, Duff found that it was too late. His body was not a spring, and he could not be turned around at all. When he looked back, he found that he was at least three positions away from the other party.
Duff has a lot of confidence in speed, but now he feels quite hit. This brunette boy's personal ability is too strong. The ball grabbing just now may even leave a shadow in his heart. What should he do?
Let's go back!
After thinking for a long time, Duff finally realized that he was going to chase back, but at this time, he was no longer in a hurry, and he could only follow Don Jack to eat ashes. Fortunately, Chelsea's other players are not as slow as Duff's reaction. As early as the moment Don Jack cut the ball, most Chelsea players had run to the backcourt crazily. As a result, when Don Jack took the ball to the front of the penalty area, he was about to be surrounded by Chelsea players.
With no choice, Don Jack Tang made a long shot from 25 meters in the front of the penalty area. The angle of the ball was very tricky. Unfortunately, it hit the bottom line on the column and popped up, which shocked the Chelsea people in a cold sweat. Liverpool fans had some regrets that they didn't score a goal, but their cheering has not been broken, as long as Tang Jack Taking the ball is the beginning of the whole game, and all Liverpool fans will cheer for him.
This momentum is envied by everyone, including Chelsea players.
※※※
In terms of interception, Jack Don performed well, and his threat is greater in counterattack. In other aspects, such as the release of the penalty area, Jack Tang often appears.
This performance is related to Don Jack's reaction speed and his physical fitness. When other players can't run, Don Jack has become a special person in the whole game. He does all the work he can and constantly contributes to Liverpool's defense.
Chelsea also dare not underestimate Don Jack's counterattack.
Such a magical performance soon made Don Jack the most popular person on the court. Even if he didn't take the ball, there were still many fans cheering for him.
“...... Jack is like an all-round warrior. While he keeps scoring goals, he can appear everywhere in the game. He is the strongest!"
In the game, Kinson commented: "With Jack, Chelsea loses half first. If they are the losing side, Mr. Mourinho really has nothing to say, just because Liverpool has Jack, and Chelsea does not have a comparable player..."
This sentence makes sense....
In a VIP box at Anfield, the president of Chelsea, the famous Russian oligarch, and Mr. Abramovich, who ranked fifth in the world's richest people, recognized the whole game.
At this time, Abramovich's face was not disappointment, but an expectation.
He turned his head to the assistant next to him and asked, "This number ten is the player we need!" His tone is extremely sure.
"But boss, Liverpool will not sell Jack."
"No, no, no..." Abramovich shook his head and said, "There is nothing in the world that money can't buy. Every player has his own value. It's not enough to bid if he doesn't buy it. I hope he can appear in Chelsea's lineup and play for Chelsea and for me, not for other teams. Do you understand?"
The white assistant nodded, "I understand, boss, but..."
"No, but!" Abramovich said, "I'm willing to pay several times!"
He glanced at Mourinho on the coach's seat. At this time, the Portuguese walked around the court, and his nervousness was obvious. This performance made Abu a little dissatisfied. He had always been very satisfied with the team's coach and was willing to pay the price of the world's first salary for the coaches, but now this guy's performance is really suitable for cutting. Ersi?
Abramovich was a little suspicious.
