18 minutes, one fifth of a football game.

While Jokore was standing on the sidelines waiting to play, Ye Qiu was still explaining some things beside him. He listened very seriously, but his attention was obviously on the court. He just nodded to the head coach and let him know that he had heard it.

But in fact, he was already a little impatient with all his mind on the court.

He is eager to participate in the competition and to prove himself

"When you get old, you can tell your grandchildren that when Joe Cole signs his first career contract in his life, you're at Upton Park Stadium"

Joe Kerr still remembers that this is the commentary of the live commentator of West Ham United in the Premier League in 1998. In this blink of an eye, seven years have passed. He has changed from the young boy back then to the young man with rich game experience today. Time has retained a lot of things, but has also changed a lot of things.

He is still considered the most talented and talented player in English football after Gascoin, but now, the English no longer look at him with the look of hope like he did back then. They are now asking more, what's wrong with Joe Cole? Or, I hope Rooney won't be like Joe Cole.

Many times he himself doesn't understand why this happens. Perhaps it is because after becoming famous as a young man, he became a little proud of West Ham United's hope and player early. Even though this pride is just hidden deep in his heart, it has become the biggest obstacle to his progress.

Ye Qiu said that he wanted to play as a substitute, but he didn't understand why.

"You know, football is always moving forward. As a head coach, I have to watch many games every year and collect a lot of information to ensure that I can learn all kinds of information at the first time, keep up with the pace of this era, and keep my team on the top of the trend forever."

"It's not just the head coach who needs to keep pace with the times, but professional players also need to do this. When they are 17 years old, they are geniuses. That's because others use the 17-year-old standard to measure you, but if you are 17 years old and still use the 17-year-old standard to measure yourself and think you are a genius, then you are a fool in the eyes of others."

"Perhaps, in your heart, you will think that Lampard is nothing great, isn't it just a little hardworking? You will think that this teammate who was suppressed by you at West Ham, came to Chelsea just because he had better luck and conformed to my tactical needs. In addition, he worked hard and diligent, so he succeeded."

"Then you are wrong. His success is not because he just meets me. If he changes a head coach or another requirement, he will also work very hard to meet the tactical requirements that are suitable for the new head coach. He will still work hard and diligent as always. This is the cornerstone of a professional player's success."

"You are talented and talented, but what you lack is Lampard's perseverance."

In the process of recalling, Joe Cole was allowed to enter, and he replaced Lampard, who performed poorly in this game.

Everyone will have bad shapes. Even if he is Lampard, he missed at least two shots that should have scored in this game. But it is obvious that Lampard, who wore the Blues chief armband because of Terry's rotation, did not show up in good shape.

Originally, he should have had a rest in this game, but before the game, Lampard took the initiative to ask for the game. He hoped to do his best to help the team through the devil's schedule during the winter break, and he hoped to have the opportunity to help the team win another Premier League championship.

Although Joe Cole has always been not very convinced by Lampard, it is more about the football field and privately, they have a good relationship. So, when the two passed by, Lampard hugged Joe Cole tightly, took off the captain's armband on his arm, and put it on Joe Cole's arm.

"Come on, Joe, you can change it" Lampard patted Joe Cole on the shoulder and encouraged.

From his eyes, the sensitive Joe Kerr could feel a helplessness. He believed that if he could, he would choose to go up without hesitation. Even if he tried his best, he would help the team win. But the problem is that he could not bring any help to the team at all now.

Ribery and Van Persie gave him a lot of opportunities on both wings, but his feet were obviously a little tilted.

It's not surprising that in just under 7 days, this is the third game, and even the Iron Man can't stand it.

Walking into the stadium and wearing a captain's armband that does not belong to him, Joe Kerr felt the same way he was when he returned to West Ham United. He really felt the kind of expectation that he was looking forward to the past, because he could clearly feel that all his teammates, and I believe that all the Chelsea fans in front of the TV, were looking forward to the transformation he brought.

Even though, such expectations come more from the trust in Ye Qiu's on-site command and substitution.

But at this moment, it seemed to fall on Joe Cole.

This made him walk to Lampard's front midfielder, waved his hand and signaled Ribery and Van Persie on both wings to press as much as possible, because Chelsea now has the advantage, and the only difference is to be able to break Liverpool's iron wall.

Ye Qiu made arrangements and the ball came to about 30 meters and handed it directly to Qiao Kerr's feet.

Harman wanted to get close, and everyone knew that Jokore was not good at physical confrontation. The German midfielder obviously wanted to take advantage of this, but before he could get closer, Jokore had already skillfully stuffed the ball to the bottom line on the left.

This diagonal pass passes the ball quickly through Finnan and Carragher. Ribery was fighting hard at the speed. The ball was very fast. Because it was not fast enough, there was not enough time to pass through the old pair of Finnan and Carragher. Ribery had to be faster than the ball, otherwise the ball would have to go out of the baseline.

French Scarface finally rescued the ball in front of the baseline, and then made a cross directly. Drogba rushed into the penalty area like a heavy tank, but Hypia entangled him tightly, while Dudek quickly hit the ball with a single punch, barely resolving a threatening attack from Chelsea.

There was a burst of warm cheers and cheers at the entire Anfield Stadium, but it was obviously not for Chelsea, but for Liverpool, because in the eyes of Reds fans, if the team coached by Benitez, which has just been reorganized, can draw against Chelsea in the Christmas Devil schedule, it will be a very good result.

But Chelsea was not the case, and Joe Cole soon got another chance.

This time he became smarter, running between Xavi Alonso and Harman, and when the two reacted, they quickly dribbled the ball and cut to the right side, passing the ball diagonally to Van Persie who cut inward from the right.

This pass was very comfortable. After getting the ball, Van Persie directly wiped over Traore after getting the ball. There was no need to make any adjustments. After forming a breakthrough, Van Persie entered the penalty area and was chased back by Hypia. When passing it horizontally to Drogba, Carragher grabbed the clearance, resolving Chelsea's attack and winning applause from Anfield fans once again.

Two attacks, creating two threats, but neither scored, and the morale of Chelsea players was passing by bit by bit.

Benitez's ability to coach defense is indeed extraordinary, especially his defense is full of targetedness. He knows Chelsea's strength very clearly and clearly knows Chelsea's quick pass and receive the ball sharply, so he dare not be careless and tightens the three lines, leaving Pangler in front, Luis Garcia counterattack, and others, including Gerald, all came back to participate in the defense, and this set of tactics almost penetrated Chelsea's goal.

If that goal is scored, Chelsea will not be able to hold on now

Soon, Ye Qiu made his second substitution in this game, and Fabregas replaced Deco, who was partnering with Marklele.

Deco's performance in this game was not very good, and it can only be considered a fair-size. However, under Gerald's restrictions, Deco's passing accuracy was slightly worse than usual. He only passed the ball more and went to both sides to find full-backs Heinze and Macon.

After Fabregas went up, Ye Qiu immediately conveyed the adjustment, allowing Joe Kerr to move forward, and mostly move at the front of Liverpool's penalty area. He will directly kick off his own feet if he has the opportunity. Fabregas' position is also higher, responsible for the organization and dispatch of the midfield. Macondo is on the right and Heinze is stationed on the defense.

"Don't always think about passing the ball to the penalty area, and kick it decisively if you have the chance." This is the order Ye Qiu asked Fabregas to convey.

Liverpool has almost made the penalty area a wall. It is very difficult to enter the 30-meter area as soon as the ball enters the penalty area again. It is even more difficult to enter the penalty area. Therefore, Ye Qiu's adjustment is not only aimed at Joe Kerr, but also at Ribery and Van Persie, as well as Drogba on the front line.

Joe Kerr did not react much to this adjustment because he was not good at long shots outside the penalty area. His chances of scoring from a long shot outside the penalty area were very small, and he didn't even remember whether he had any or not, so he felt that his chance of kicking should be very small.

But sometimes things in the world are so strange, you don’t think it’s possible. Liverpool players seem to think that people who almost don’t shoot from a long distance are unlikely to play outside the penalty area, and they don’t seem to pay attention to him. Instead, Van Persie, Ribery, Drogba and others are under strict surveillance.

It was as if this time, Drogba received a overhead ball from Fabregas, defeating Hypia and headed the ball to Van Persie. This was also the Ivorians' greatest contribution in the face of intensive defense, which was to win an effective ball-taking point for Chelsea in the frontcourt.

Van Persie has excellent stopping ability. No matter how troublesome the ball is passed to him, he can stop just right. So in the face of Drogba's knockback, he turned sideways and stopped with his chest, just blocking Traore behind him. At this time, Haman obviously had lingering fears about him, and leaned forward as soon as possible to cut off his ball.

Van Persie poked the ball gently to the foot, and the ball passed by Harman, who was approaching quickly. The ball was light and slow, but it fell just in front of Joe Cole. At this time, Harvey Alonso and Gerrard, who were closest to Joe Cole, were obviously not too late to get close.

This is an opportunity

This is undoubtedly a very good opportunity to start the foot. It is near the top of the penalty area. Even if Ye Qiu said, he would kick the foot decisively if he had the chance. This is definitely an opportunity to kick the foot.

Joe Kerr didn't hesitate, swung his right foot and pulled the ball towards the incoming ball.

The ball quickly passed through Carragher's legs, and because Carragher blocked, Dudek's vision was affected to a certain extent. By the time the Polish goalkeeper reacted, the ball was already in front of him. Moreover, Joe Kerr played this ball very smartly and landed in front of the goal to rebound. Although Dudek made a save, he still could not stop the ball from entering the net.

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL”

Accompanied by the live commentator's shout, Joe Cole and Chelsea players rushed out of Liverpool's penalty area, and they all rushed to the sidelines as if they were desperate, shouting along the way.

Ye Qiu also waved his arms on the sidelines. It was so painful to play against Liverpool. He felt as if his whole body was exhausted. This guy Benitez was so incomprehensible. As long as you are good at it, he would ban you.

Not to mention anything else, just for targeted tactics, this guy is the world's number one

"In the 85th minute, Chelsea finally knocked on Liverpool's goal and scored Chelsea's first goal in this game. It may even be the only goal, from Joe Kerr, who came on the bench,"

"After he transferred to Chelsea, he has always appeared as a substitute. He has also made great contributions to the team after he came on the bench many times. In fact, Joe Kerr's appearance was definitely a brilliant move. After he came on the court, Chelsea's situation was obviously opened and the offense improved. After Fabregas came on the court, Joe Kerr's position was even higher, and he got the opportunity to kick the ball this time.

"A very wonderful shot, a light and cushion shot outside the penalty area. Before entering the ball, there was a touchdown that made the goalkeeper helplessly rebound, which fully demonstrated Joe Kerr's spirituality in that moment."

"Oh, Liverpool is going to make a substitution"

Perhaps because Liverpool was caught off guard by Chelsea and conceded the ball, Benitez immediately reacted and made adjustments, but he did not go to the striker like others, because he knew very well that strengthening the attack was not useful in many cases, he was adjusting the midfield.

Two people were replaced in one breath, Smitchell replaced Harman, and Morientes replaced Louis Garcia.

Morientes transferred from Real Madrid to Liverpool during the winter break. He played for the first time and his condition is not clear. Everyone hopes that he can perform well in the Champions League in Monaco. His technical characteristics are there, and Benitez obviously wants to use Morientes to break through Chelsea's defense.

Sure enough, after the substitution, Liverpool decisively pushed the attack, with Xavi Alonso and Smitchell organizing behind him, Morientes leading the way, Pongra, Riser and Gerrard looking for opportunities behind him, and Liverpool attacked desperately.

For Liverpool at this moment, losing L-ball is a loss, and losing the ball is a loss. It is better to go out and fight. Maybe there is still a chance to turn the situation around.

When a person loses his life, he will be invincible in the world

Ye Qiu dared not move now, so he directly asked the players to shrink their defense, avoid the edge for the time being, and then adopt the tactic of defensive counterattack.

But it was not until the 89th minute that Chelsea made its first counterattack, which was Ribery's counterattack on the left, but because other players obviously failed to keep up, this counterattack failed to achieve results in the end.

However, after this counterattack, Liverpool was obviously a little depressed.

In the end, Chelsea defeated the Reds with this goal from substitute Joe Kerr at Anfield Stadium with great difficulty.

When the referee blew the whistle of the game, Ye Qiu really felt like he had a life of surviving the disaster.

As Chelsea has become more and more outstanding in the past two years, and has become stronger and stronger, there are fewer and fewer teams that can give him this feeling. Even when playing some mid- and lower-level teams in the Premier League, Ye Qiu usually only needs to tell the players how to play, and then he can cross his legs in the coach's seat to watch the game, and freely freehand.

But in this game against Liverpool, he was nervous from the beginning to the end, and he had a premonition that Benitez was more difficult than the last time, and his targeted tactics were more appropriate than before.

If Ye Qiu's tactics last season were to form the overall oppression of the team through the advantages of players such as Davis, Marklele, Lampard, Drogba, etc., and then suffocate the opponent, then Benitez's Liverpool is completely the opposite, and he does this through tactics.

It is hard to say which of these two methods is better. After all, they have advantages and disadvantages. But what is certain is that this Liverpool team has passed the running-in period and has formed its own combat power. But there is also a problem, that is, they cannot play like this in every game.

Such strict targeted tactics like Liverpool usually require a period of practice, but if every opponent plays like this in every game, it is simply impossible. Moreover, many teams adopt a strategy of shrinking defense when facing Liverpool, and this set of tactics of Liverpool cannot be achieved at all.

When he thought of this, Ye Qiu couldn't help but feel helpless because he didn't want a draw, so he could only win.

Sometimes it's like this to win the championship. If you score one point at a time, you will be the champion.

The facts also prove that Ye Qiu is not good at not fighting, because when Chelsea defeated Liverpool 0, Arsenal defeated Charlton 3:1 away, Manchester United defeated Middlesbrough 0, and Everton, who was originally ranked third, completely collapsed due to the shortcomings in the thickness of the bench. He lost 5 away games to Tottenham's White Hart Lane Stadium and fell to fourth place.

Now, the Premier League champion team has returned to the battle for the top three teams. The defending champions Chelsea, Gunners Arsenal and Red Devils Manchester United are the only three teams that have the potential to compete for the championship. Among the three teams, Manchester United is too behind, and Chelsea's biggest competitor is Arsenal.
