737 The Great Shame
The fifteen-minute half-time break divided the game into two halves, but it also interrupted the rhythm of the first half. Novel.
After the second half started again, whether it was Liverpool or Chelsea, they were intentionally or unintentionally slowing down their offense, and they all started to play more securely, which made the game start to become a stalemate, no longer as crazy as the first half, beautiful and enjoyable.
Chelsea made adjustments in the second half. Hiddink learned from the lessons learned from the first half and adopted the three-middle midfielder to free Essim, allowing Garner's midfielder to be responsible for assisting the defender and following Yang Yang.
Essim has strong maneuverability and defensive ability, and is very tangled. Yang Yang has to deal with the defense line, but also pays attention to Essim. His performance was immediately curbed, and Liverpool's offense was also significantly affected.
But even so, Yang Yang still showed enough threat.
In the 51st minute, Liverpool intercepted the ball and quickly launched a counterattack. After Bernardon got the ball, he passed Ivanovic directly behind him. Yang Yang inserted into the penalty area as quickly as possible.
Cech decisively abandoned the goal and attacked, but Yang Yang was faster and took the lead and poked the ball to the bottom line.
Alex and Cech blocked all Yang Yang's shooting angles as if they were facing a big enemy. Without a chance, Yang Yang chose to stop the ball and passed it back to Aurerio who was inserted.
The Brazilian shot from a long distance from the left and tried to hit the right side of the goal.
Cech had no time to guard the goal, but Aurerio's shot was slightly higher, hitting the upper edge of the crossbar, bounced out of the bottom line, and failed to score.
But Liverpool's offense this time was still very exciting, which shocked Chelsea's defensive players in a cold sweat.
...
Afterwards, Liverpool still patiently waited for the opportunity, and specifically picked Chelsea to counterattack when they pressed on the offense.
In the 54th minute, Aveloa passed directly to Kuyt from the right. After the Dutch took the ball with his back, he dribbled the ball sideways and passed it to Gerald, and then passed it straight to the penalty area.
Yang Yang blocked Carvalho with his body. After receiving the ball, he was caught in the double-team of four Chelsea players. Without a chance, he quickly passed back to the right. Kuyt passed to the middle again. Xavi Alonso followed and shot directly.
The shot was saved by Chelsea goalkeeper Cech, but the Czech goalkeeper was unable to hold the ball.
There was a sudden melee in the penalty area. First, Gerald shot the goal and hit Alex. The ball bounced to the right, then Bernard followed and made another kick, and Ivanovic headed the ball out of the goal.
The continuous shooting made Chelsea's goal in front of the goal in a panic.
The Blues' defensive ability is indeed unquestionable, but Liverpool's tenacious offense cannot be underestimated, especially after successfully equalizing the score in the first half, everyone was full of confidence and morale was greatly boosted.
...
Chelsea is not powerless to fight back.
After Liverpool used several consecutive counterattacks to create a threat in the second half, Chelsea finally made a quick counterattack in the 63rd minute.
Maluda passed directly behind him in the middle. When Drogba and Carrag were in front of the highway, the Ivory Elephant King used his outstanding physical fitness to force out Carragher, got the ball and broke into the penalty area, and passed to the middle.
Barack inserted in the back row and directly pushed and shot.
This time, Reina did not make another mistake, but used a steady attack, flew to save the ball in the middle of the journey, and held the ball firmly in his arms, leaving no chance for Chelsea.
...
The two sides fought fiercely near the midfield.
Both teams attached more importance to defense than in the first half, and they also invested heavily in pressing and oppressing in the midfield.
After Chelsea replaced Anelka, Hiddink no longer seemed to be planning to make another substitution.
Benitez still has three substitutions, but he has not moved for a long time, and seems to be waiting for the opportunity.
Time passed bit by bit.
In the 67th minute, while fighting in the midfield, Ashley Cole fouled against Aveloa who was inserted in the back and also received a yellow card. Both sides were gradually getting angry.
If you play unrestrainedly in the first half, then you play conservatively and dullly in the second half.
The ball rights change hands back and forth in the midfield, and no one wants to leave more opportunities for each other.
Liverpool just sent a free kick here, but Chelsea broke it away after a few passes.
But the Blues just intercepted the ball and hadn't hit the counterattack yet, they were intercepted by Mascherano just after crossing the center line.
But when Liverpool tried to pass to find Kuyt, Carvalho took the lead and headed back to the midfield.
Lampard and Barack scored the first place in a row, and Chelsea still had an advantage in high ball.
During the chaos, Maluda passed the ball straight behind him, and Drogba rushed forward quickly, but this time Carragher was prepared, and stopped the ball first, took two steps to the right, and got a chance to pass it directly with a big foot.
Both Kuyt and Yang Yang were sprinting quickly, and Chelsea's defensive players kept them firmly in the middle.
The Dutchman looked at the landing point of the ball, squeezed Ashley Cole away with his body, and stopped the ball to Yang Yang who rushed into the penalty area.
Yang Yang stopped the ball before Carvalho and turned around to protect him as soon as possible.
Alles and Essin rushed over to grab the ball, but Yang Yang kept pulling and spiking the ball from left to right in a narrow range, and failed to snatch the ball from his feet.
In the penalty area, Chelsea players' movements are very controlled, for fear that they will be penalties if they are not careful.
After Yang Yang dunked over Essin, he suddenly passed the ball to the outside of the penalty area.
This kick was very light and had no rotation, so it was very comfortable.
Xavi Alonso followed quickly from behind, swung his right foot and made a long shot.
The shot hit very quickly and the ball was pressed very low. It happened to pass through Yang Yang and opened the defensive gap and headed straight to the lower left corner of the goal.
Cech's vision was attracted by Yang Yang and others, and he did not see the ball at the first time. When he reacted, he flew to save the ball again, but found that it was too late.
Xavi Alonso's long shot directly hit the bottom of the net in the lower left corner of Chelsea.
...
"goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!"
"Reversal! Reversal!! Reversal!!!"
"Liverpool has finally reversed!"
"Oh my God, this is so unbelievable! Liverpool actually reversed Chelsea!"
"Four to one! Four to one! The total score is five to four!"
"Liverpool! Great Liverpool! Great Yang Yang! Great Xavi Alonso!"
...
The whole stadium was in full swing!
After scoring the goal, Xavi Alonso turned around and rushed out of the court immediately, while Yang Yang chased him and jumped directly onto his back.
The Spaniard did not resist, but instead rushed to the bottom of the stands where Liverpool fans were on their backs. Everyone was excited to roar at the live TV camera. Gerald rushed up and kissed the live camera in pain, venting his inner excitement and excitement.
The Liverpool fans in the stands also cheered thunderously.
...
"I can't believe it! It's really hard for people to believe it!"
"Before the game, who would have thought that Liverpool could really reverse Chelsea, but now, in this game, the total score was 5-4, Liverpool completed the reversal!"
"Now all the pressure on the game is on Chelsea."
"Hiddingk's team is now behind Liverpool in terms of away goals, so they have to score two more goals to win, otherwise Liverpool will complete an epic reversal at Stamford Bridge."
"This is definitely a very difficult reversal!"
"Yang Yang is still being carried behind by Xavi Alonso and has been supported by all players and fans."
"He performed very well in this game and was in very good shape. Not only did he score a hat trick himself, he also assisted Xavi Alonso to score the fourth goal just now, and he completely dominated this game tonight."
…………
…………
Amid the cheers of Liverpool fans, Chelsea fans seemed very depressed and in a low mood.
Before the game, they all walked into Stamford Bridge with confidence, hoping to see a team's victory in the Champions League semi-finals, but they did not expect that Liverpool would be so tenacious tonight.
It's less than seventy minutes but has scored four goals. This is Liverpool!
He was able to play Manchester United's 6-1 at Old Trafford Stadium, crazy Liverpool!
Abramovich sat in the chairman's stands, his face as deep as water. If he hadn't taken into consideration the demeanor, he would have been furious now, standing up and pointing at the players on the court and cursing.
What's going on? How do you play football?
Two goals and three away goals, but in his home court, he was not only won by the opponent, but now he was reversed?
This is simply a great humiliation!
Abramovich even had some doubts whether there were players who were deliberately letting go?
Is this a fake football game?
"Yang Yang is too strong!" Terry shook his head helplessly and sighed.
"Xavi Alonso's long shot is of course very exciting, but the most important thing about this goal is that Yang Yang dunked over Essin and Alex's presses, and then passed the ball to Xavi Alonso, and it was very comfortable to pass."
The Chelsea captain originally wanted to explain what happened just now, so that Abramovich and the management knew that this was not that the players were not good, but that the opponent was too strong.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Abramovich's face became even more ugly, and he even snorted heavily.
Peter Kenion and other senior executives also looked bad because they all knew very well that what Abramovich looked most was that Yang Yang performed well in front of him.
As a result, the Chinese scored a hat trick, and it would be fine if they assisted Xavi Alonso to shoot a long shot, but Terry mentioned it next to Abramovich. Isn't this pointing at the monk and scolding the bald man, and it doesn't matter which pot it doesn't open?
It is completely foreseeable that if you lose this game tonight, everyone in Chelsea will not have a good life.
As soon as he thought of this, everyone looked at Hiddink in front of the home team coach's seat.
Dear you, Hiddink!
Chapter completed!
