Chapter 234
Chelsea's attack can be said to have been abolished by itself, but now, relying on the excellent defense of Cheek and Mikel in their backcourt, and Terry in the backcourt is also very good at defending Sterling. Liverpool's The offensive was also desperate and there was no way to make a contribution. The two sides were in the midfield and fell into a constant entanglement.

However, the current entanglement is indeed Liverpool's advantage.This also gave the commentators a weird feeling.

"Why does this game have a feeling of deja vu? Isn't this the comeback of Liverpool being pressed to the ground by Barcelona in the previous Champions League? It's just that Liverpool is now the violent party!"

"Looking at Chelsea's current offense, it is completely out of order. Coach Mourinho should consider a tactic of how to win without Drogba, instead of pinning his hopes on Hazard and William alone."

When he said this, Hazard relied on a quick breakthrough after Manquillo's inside cut, and he slammed the goal, and was saved by Mignolet from the bottom line.This is not the first time he has done this in this game. In fact, Mignolet defended his long-range shots very well, but he has been trying so non-stop.

"The role of Drogba is too great for Chelsea. If there is really a way to win the opponent without Drogba this season, why should Chelsea use a striker who does not score? "

There was no way to solve this problem.The team's tactical system is too complete. The whole team is like a precision instrument. If any part fails, the team's performance will naturally be greatly affected. The main reason is that there is no way to replace this part. The current Chelsea is indeed almost messed up even in its offensive methods.

At this time, Chelsea had already taken a corner kick, Fabregas passed the ball to the front point, and at the front point, Terry jumped up. Although Skrtel behind him made him have no room to turn around, but He was still a header, and he pushed the ball to the back!
Lovren, who was at the back point, got the ball first, but the ball didn't fall far. Just inside the penalty area, Ivanovic got the ball. He didn't adjust, shot the ball and kicked the ball towards the goal!
The shot was close at hand and rushed towards the goal, but at this time Mignolet immediately made an emergency save. He jumped up extremely awkwardly, but successfully took the football into his arms!
Mourinho was already ready to celebrate on the sidelines, but when he saw this, he covered his head helplessly.

This was something he had planned a long time ago-Chelsea's attack had been sloppy in the last few games, so he naturally understood that he needed to make adjustments.But it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. Chelsea only have these people, and he can't create any outstanding offensive system.

But fortunately, there are also set balls.Relying on the opponent's contempt for Chelsea's offensive power, Mourinho wanted to bet once that Chelsea's set-pieces could open up the situation.A lion is a beast without teeth and should not be underestimated.It's just a pity that they encountered Mignolet's super performance, and the save of this ball actually boosted Liverpool's morale!
This lion has no teeth, and their traps have been cracked now!

Chelsea has always been a very strong team. Although Liverpool defeated their opponents in the first half of the schedule, the Liverpool players have to admit that the outcome of the two sides is often a matter of one goal, and one may lose if one is not careful.

But who would have thought that Chelsea had a problem. Before the game, because of Drogba's absence, Liverpool did not pay too much attention to Chelsea. What's more, it's against Liverpool, who have defended well this season.

However, this ball also raised Liverpool's spiritual heart.After all, the game is very important, and we should not be careless at all.In this way, this attack is also beneficial, and Liverpool's last bit of contempt will be put away. The game has just started 20 minutes, and the time is still long.

Moreover, Lin Yi thought that he had also found a way to deal with Chelsea.

Chelsea's seemingly impregnable defense is not without flaws.

Lin Yi controlled the ball in the middle and ran two steps to the right.Mikel still held his ground to prevent him from penetrating, while Cheek was well placed in the path of his pass to Firmino.Lin Yi knew very well that if he passed the ball, Chick would probably intercept it. Chick's role in ground ball defense was extremely terrifying.

However, he didn't even think about giving the ball to Firmino. He turned around with one step and passed the ball long to Gerrard behind him.

Gerrard tried to break through Felipe, but his reactions were slow and unsuccessful.In desperation, he passed the ball to Firmino, and Firmino passed the ball to Johnson behind him again. Instead of going forward, Johnson made a long pass and passed the ball to Lin Yi.

But at this time, Terry rushed out and pushed the ball to the feet of Cesc Fabregas in the frontcourt.

Lin Yi smiled, it was exactly as he expected.

Lin Yi's attack obviously hit Chelsea's weakness, but it was seen through by the old and tough Terry!
With Chick and Mikel, Chelsea's midfield defense is really good. Some people mop up and some break the back. Coupled with an excellent defense line, Chelsea now has the most sophisticated defensive system!
However, they still have a problem.

The midfielder's header is Chelsea's great shortcoming.After all, Chick and Mikel are not very tall, and their ground interception ability is strong, but fighting for headers in the midfield is not their forte. They do have problems in this position.

Against ordinary teams, their weaknesses are not obvious. However, Liverpool's frontcourt players are not weaker than Mikel and Chick in terms of height and confrontation ability, but their header ability is even better. Although Liverpool cannot Counting on the header attack from the midfielder, but when Lin Yi and Firmino start attacking as the attacking line from the wing, they can use long balls to tear the opponent's defense line as much as they want, which makes Liverpool in this position In the link, relying on cooperation in the air, they gained a lot of advantages.

In order to make up for this disadvantage, Chelsea had to respond—as Lin Yi expected, there was only one response they could make, which was to let the defenders play in the midfield.

And in this way, they will naturally have a lot of space in the backcourt.

Lin Yi spent a long time trying to find a way to tear apart the defense and create opportunities for Sterling.Now that it's broken, what needs to be done is to find a way to pass the ball to Sterling when he sees the opportunity.

When the ball reached Royce again, Lin Yi ran to the left side of the penalty area, and at the same time raised his hand, signaling Royce to pass the ball.His approach made Zuma involuntarily lean over, but at this time, Royce kicked the ball to Henderson.

Because Zuma had already gone out, Terry didn't dare to defend. This made it easy for Henderson to catch the high-altitude ball.But he obviously also knew that when the ball reached his feet, Chick would obviously kill him, so he simply shook his head and pushed the ball towards the penalty area.

His ball headed to the left side of the penalty area, and at this time, Lin Yi also strode over.Zuma was still following Lin Yi, but Lin Yi had already squeezed out half of his body space by relying on his own explosive power. Next to Zuma, he stretched out his left foot, picked the ball with one kick, and threw the ball towards him. middle road.

Sterling jumped up less than six yards in front of the goal. Terry was a step behind him, but he was in a better position. He was almost in front of Sterling and jumped up too.Terry knew the seriousness of the ball, he stretched his neck hard, kept Sterling behind him, touched the ball before Sterling, and blocked the ball over the crossbar!

"John Terry, he saved Chelsea again!"

However, the two people in the air also collided, Sterling fell backwards, and Terry fell forwards.In front of him was Courtois who was trying to save. Terry couldn't dodge him, and the two collided directly and rolled into the goal.

This time, both Lin Yi and Zuma were stunned: Who is the foul?Is it Terry's defensive foul?Or an offensive foul by Sterling?Both of them fell into a mess, whose fault is this?
The referee ran over and didn't call a foul.But at this time, the injuries of the few people on the ground are more important.

"I'm fine!" Sterling was the first to stand up.Although Terry did have a small movement when he jumped up, the foul was not obvious, and Sterling didn't complain.Besides, he himself was just as unclean, or Terry wouldn't have fallen out.Since this is Stamford Bridge, don't expect the referee to give a penalty for such a ball.

At this time, Terry, who fell to the ground, also stood up.His injuries were also not serious.In fact, he was just pushed from behind, which made him unsteady and fell out. Of course, he would not be injured.

However, the real unlucky person was Courtois who suffered from the misfortune.

Obviously, Courtois hit hard this time, and collided with Terry, making Courtois cover his face and did not get up for a long time.He wasn't pretending to be injured, but his face was indeed injured.

When Terry fell to the ground, his head hit him right in the face, and he hit the bridge of his nose. The nose is one of the most vulnerable parts of the human body. Now, his nose is bleeding non-stop. .Although such an injury is not a serious injury, the visual effect is quite amazing.No matter who it is, seeing a person with blood on his face will feel horrible.

This also made the game have to be suspended-the player's jersey was stained with blood, so he had to change his clothes.

Courtois changed his shirt and played again, and Liverpool's side also had a lot of time.Lin Yi stood on the corner kick point, thinking about how to serve the corner kick better.

Chelsea's defense is currently the defense that has conceded the fewest goals in the Premier League. Chelsea's defense is generally higher and the goalkeeper is good. Can control the backline.Among the rich teams, this team should be the only one who dares to use parallel positions in defense of set-pieces.

How to face their defense is also something that makes Lin Yi helpless.But Courtois was injured for a long time after all, which also made Lin Yi think calmly: Terry is an old-fashioned central defender in England after all, he has the bravery and hard work that others don't have, so there must be him The weaknesses of England's defenders, the weaknesses are still obvious.

At this time, Liverpool had already taken a corner kick.Lin Yi's long pass went straight to the back, but Terry destroyed the attack.His header sent the ball over the top and didn't give Skrtel a chance.

"Veterans don't die! John Terry saves Chelsea again!"

Terry's defensive ability is indeed excellent.

And his header also fell to Fabregas' feet, but Fabregas had just turned around, and Gerrard's tackle was already kicked over.

Fabregas jumped up to avoid his tackle, but the ball was also picked up by Royce. He made a long pass and gave the ball to Lin Yi who ran from the corner, and retreated himself. At this time, Lin Yi simply followed the bottom line and entered the restricted area!

Felipe was the first to jump on it, but obviously he underestimated Lin Yi too much.Lin Yi sent the ball to the right lightly under Lin Yi's feet, then quickly swung it back, and then poked it, and passed him easily through the crotch. Lin Yi changed direction and squeezed Zuma , although there is no shooting angle, but in front of him, in the penalty area, there are three points of support from Sterling, Gerrard and Firmino, and on the Chelsea side, there are only Terry and Ivanovic On defense!

To whom?

Terry kept Sterling behind him while keeping Firmino in mind further back, with Ivanovic following Gerrard closely, the two on the run.It seemed that although the positions of the three of them were all right, they were all a bit difficult.

At this time, Lin Yi kicked the ball up.

Is the ball towards Firmino or Sterling?Terry was a little surprised that he would pass to his position.The speed of the ball was fast, but it was not positive enough. Before Terry had time to react, he felt it. The ball hit his arm!
To keep Sterling behind him, his arms did go up.This is not a very formal defensive action, but he didn't care.But at this time, he was extremely annoyed in his heart.

The referee ran over and took a penalty.

Before the end of the first half, Liverpool finally welcomed the best chance.

A player is holding the ball, and there are three receiving points in the penalty area. How much pain do you have to kick the ball to the defensive player's arm!
