Chapter 336
"Matic knocked down Lin Yi in order to prevent Lin Yi from moving forward. This was a tactical foul... but before that, he already had a yellow card!" the on-site commentator exclaimed. "Perhaps Matic can calm down a little more and stick to Lin Yi? You must know that speed is not what Lin Yi is good at. Even if Lin Yi is allowed to dribble the ball, he can't run far... But now with such a collision, Liverpool's The counterattack has indeed ended, but Matic himself is also facing big trouble!"

Matic was still lying on the ground and did not get up, but Royce, who had received the ball, had already reacted. He hugged the football and ran to the referee, wanting to intercede for Matic.Of course he also knew that Matic had a yellow card before.If Matic gets another yellow card, he will have to go. One less person will be a heavy blow to Chelsea.

But he didn't know if he could persuade the referee to "keep his men safe" because it seemed difficult to escape from this foul...

"Matic...this is a foul. He can be dismissed. Don't say give him a yellow card. Even if he gives a red card directly, I think it's totally fine!" As a Chinese commentator, the CCTV commentator is of course unconditionally on Lin Yi's side. "As a result, both of his yellow cards will go to Lin Yi!"

Mourinho was also very angry about this foul, but he did not express his anger to his players, but to the fourth official - he believed that Lin Yi was suspected of diving, and that the fall was too exaggerated and exaggerated the horse. The severity of Teach's foul this time...

No matter how the Chelsea players gathered around to persuade them, the referee remained unmoved. He withdrew from the circle of Chelsea fans, waved to them not to follow, and at the same time hooked Matic to signal him to come over.

Matic got up from the ground. He already knew his ending. When he fell to the ground with Lin Yi, he knew what kind of punishment he would face for what he had done.

So now he did not escape and walked up to the referee.

As expected, the referee took out a yellow card and a red card from his pocket.

He first showed Matic a yellow card for this foul, and then changed it to a red card.Two yellows turned into one red, and Matic was sent off!
"In this way, Chelsea will lose one person, and the situation will become very unfavorable for Chelsea. When there is not much game time left, if Liverpool kills it like this..."

The TV broadcast cut to Chelsea's coaching bench. Mourinho was already pulling Faria on the sidelines to explain something nervously.

He had to make adjustments as soon as possible. He had no time to argue with the fourth official about whether this was the result of Lin Yi's exaggerated performance...

When the Chelsea players gathered around the referee hoping to intercede for Matic, Lin Yi was pulled up by Firmino who was in high spirits, and Royce came up to hug him.

Everyone is happy that Lin Yi has successfully made Chelsea lose one person.

This means that Liverpool has a numerical advantage, and Matic's foul is likely to become a turning point in the game and determine the outcome of the game.

But facing his happy teammates, Lin Yi couldn't be happy. He frowned and said to them: "Don't be happy too early, guys. We must score goals in the remaining time, otherwise this game is It’s hard to say what the outcome will be.”

Lin Yi actually poured cold water on him at this time, which surprised everyone.

"Why?" Firmino asked.

"Chelsea, with one less man, will of course shrink its defense. Minutes 10 and [-] are coming soon. If we can't score and win the game before then, I think Mourinho will not hesitate to put a bus in front of the goal. , if we draw, we still won’t be able to win the trophy in advance.”

When Lin Yi explained this, everyone suddenly realized.

Lin Yi's worries are very reasonable.

Everyone couldn't be happy when they thought about that prospect.

"So come on, try to kill the game in the remaining time!"

After Lin Yi finished speaking, he ran away.He doesn't care what the outcome will be for Matic. Anyway, whether it's a yellow card or a direct red card, Matic will end the game.

Chelsea may be dissatisfied with this penalty, but if they knew that if Matic hadn't committed a foul just now, they would have pushed the football to the feet of Firmino who had already run into the space, I'm afraid they would feel that Matic had This foul was well earned...

Because if Matic didn't foul, they wouldn't even have a chance to set up a bus.

Matic looked reckless but made the right choice.

The game restarted and Liverpool received a free kick in the frontcourt.

The Liverpool players in the frontcourt will all think of what Lin Yi said. There is not much time left for them. They must seize the opportunity that Chelsea has one less player and their position is not stable, and score a goal!
So Liverpool launched a fierce attack on Chelsea's goal.

Chelsea are not stupid. Of course they know that it is very dangerous when one person is missing, so they chose to recycle their defense in the face of Liverpool's offensive.

They know that Mourinho will make adjustments as quickly as possible, they just need to survive that period of time.

So even if Mourinho hasn't given instructions yet, Chelsea players have already consciously set up a bus in front of their goal.

Although the Liverpool players worked hard, they were unable to break through the goal guarded by Begovic in a very short period of time.

One minute after Matic came off, Chelsea made a substitution.Midfielder Loftus-Cheek came on, replacing winger Willian who performed well in the game.Although William performed very well, what the team needs now is not offense but strengthening defense, so he must be replaced.

This substitution also proves Lin Yi's judgment of the situation. Mourinho is really going to make a big move.He realized that his team could no longer win the game, so keeping the score until the end was the best option.

Liverpool didn't give up. In the 80th minute, they made a series of quick passes at the front of Chelsea's penalty area, creating a momentary shooting opportunity for Henderson, who took a long shot directly from the line of the penalty area.

As a result, the football missed the goal slightly...

The ball came to Chelsea, but they did not invest too much force in the offense. From this, we can see what adjustments Mourinho made.

After half-time, when Liverpool's defensive lineup was well-organized, Chelsea had no intention of fighting and hurriedly took a shot and handed over the ball.

When Mignolet was about to take the goal kick, Chelsea's players all retreated back to their own half as if the tide was ebbing.Traore, who is at the front, is also behind the center line.

In the 80th minute of the game, Liverpool launched an offensive. When Firmino turned around and shot in the penalty area, he was interfered by Cahill, and the ball went over the crossbar.

In the 804th minute, Royce pushed the ball in the penalty area, but Begovic fell to the ground and hugged the ball.

One minute later, Klopp made a substitution. He replaced Firmino with striker Benteke. After all, Firmino was exhausted after playing for so long.

However, Lin Yi has not been replaced. He is the core of Liverpool. When the team needs to strengthen their offensive, Klopp will not replace Lin Yi as long as his mind is normal. In the 806th minute, Chelsea got a chance to counterattack, but Lukaku lost the ball when he was double-teamed by Skrtel and Kante. Of course, this was also because other than him, no other Chelsea players came up to support him. It does matter. After all, the team's main task now is defense. If everyone goes up to support him, but ends up losing the ball, wouldn't it be worth the loss?

In the 807th minute, Lin Yi himself tried a shot from outside the penalty area. The football drew an arc and flew high from the back corner of the goal.

Seeing that the game was about to enter stoppage time and only get a draw, Liverpool did not want this result. They launched a fierce offensive towards Chelsea's goal.

Lin Yi pulled him to the wing to cross the ball, and the football was accurately delivered to the goal. Benteke's header was very close, but Begovic bravely saved it on the goal line!
One minute later, Begovic once again made an amazing save. Henderson's stab shot in the penalty area was almost a must-goal.But Begovic tiptoed out.

"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!" the on-site commentator cheered loudly. "Haha! What a great save! When he fell to the ground and lost his center of gravity, Begovic blocked the football with his toes! Look at Henderson's unbelievable expression... It's really wonderful! Ha!"

Begovic roared excitedly as he got up from the ground.

He was very, very satisfied with his performance.

In the 809th minute, Liverpool launched an attack from the left, and Johnson came up and made a pass.Kanter nodded the ball back to the front point, and Royce followed up and stabbed the ball from close range.As a result, the football missed the goal...

Seeing that Liverpool was attacking rapidly and there was not much game time left, Mourinho made another substitution. On the one hand, it was to strengthen the defense, and on the other hand, it was naturally to delay the game time.

He replaced midfielder Eden Hazard with centre-back John Terry.

Another steel plate was added to the bus parked in front of the door.

Why is Mourinho's bus tactic so criticized by everyone, especially when every team that plays against him will fiercely criticize this tactic.This of course also shows the success of his tactics, because his bus tactics really made the attacker very, very uncomfortable...

After the substitutions are over, the game will also enter the injury time period. The stoppage time in this game is as long as 5 minutes.

In the 901st minute, Liverpool got a free kick.

Royce took a free kick and shot the ball directly over the wall and into the dead center of the goal.But Begovic once again made a brave save and lifted the football over the crossbar!

"Begovic! If Mourinho parked a bus in front of the goal, then Begovic built a wall on the goal line!"

"Begovic looks like he is invincible..." The CCTV commentator was also a little frustrated.Begovic was in really good shape in this game. Although he conceded a goal, to be honest, he was not very responsible for that goal.

One minute later, Liverpool came again. This time, Skrtel rushed to the front and acted as an attacker. His shot from outside the penalty area went over the crossbar.

"There is really not much time left for Liverpool..." the CCTV commentator accidentally said that famous saying.

Liverpool was almost attacking Chelsea's half, and Chelsea probably didn't have time to think about a counterattack at this time.

In the 904th minute, Liverpool launched another attack.

The football was passed to the left wing, and Henderson decided to pass the football directly to the goal. He sent a cross at a 45-degree angle, but the placement of the ball was not very good.He wanted to find Benteke at the back point, but the pass was low.

Cahill, who was about to head the ball to clear the ball, didn't head the ball well. I don't know if it was because of his shaggy hair. Anyway, he didn't head the ball completely this time, but rubbed it a little, so he was rubbed. The ball didn't fly towards Benteke, but it didn't fly far out of the penalty area either.

Instead, it fell to the line of the penalty area!

"Get out!" Cahill shouted.

Fabregas was the Chelsea player closest to the ball, but he was not close enough to kick the football out with a big kick. He could only do the splits and make a tackle on the ground, intending to poke the football away. .

But there was a foot before him that knocked the football away faster!

"Lin Yi!"

No one knew how Lin Yi appeared there, and no one had the time to think about it.I saw Lin Yi stabbing the football into the penalty area, and at the same time deftly dodged Cesc Fabregas' tackle.

He drove the ball in.

Cahill rushed up to intercept him. Facing Cahill's frontal interception, Lin Yi used the outside instep of his right foot to gently move the football to the right and then turned.

He is no longer facing the goal. Cahill hopes to continue to force Lin Yi outwards. If he can force him toward the corner flag, then this defense will be considered a success.

Of course, the premise is that he doesn't foul.So when he saw Lin Yi pushing the football away, he got close to it, but he didn't dare to take a shot at will.

At the same time, Mikel also came up. He and Cahill were stuck inside, like a wall in front of Lin Yi, preventing him from turning to the goal, and then pushed him step by step. Force out of the danger zone.

In order to avoid any accidents due to the movements of their hands, the two of them also raised their hands at the same time, as if they were raising their hands in surrender.

Begovic was also following Lin Yi as he moved to the near corner to block the shooting angle.

Salah was right in front of Lin Yi. He opened up the space and shouted to Lin Yi: "Pass the ball to me!"

Although the angle of his shot is not very big, he thinks it is better than Lin Yi anyway?

But Lin Yi didn't pass the football to him. He lowered his head and couldn't see Salah at all.

He was pushed in the stomach by Cahill and staggered a little.

To be honest, Cahill's heart was in his throat when he saw Lin Yi staggering and slumping forward - he was afraid that Lin Yi would fall to the ground and the referee would give them a penalty kick!
