Football’s First Defender

In the 69th minute of the game, Drogba's goal allowed Chelsea to expand the score advantage to 2-0. The gap between the two goals was not impossible to catch up in the remaining 20 minutes, but facing Chelsea like this, For a team that has reached its extreme defensive end, it is indeed not a very easy thing to achieve.

Benitez immediately made corresponding substitution adjustments. Originally, the team was preparing to replace offensive players in 70 minutes to strengthen the attack. However, there was still a one-goal gap within reach. Now the two-goal gap is in front of you. If you want to catch up, you don't need Liverpool's players to be more attentive and harder.

The Dutch winger Babel took the lead as a substitute and replaced Riera, who did not perform at his best in the game. Benitez still has to continue to strengthen his offense, no matter how well Ivanovic is in this game. Excellent, but the decline in physical fitness is obvious. Now that Babel, who is physically strong and does not suffer from physical confrontation, rushes on the wing, perhaps he can really achieve different results.

As for the problem of the limited personal offensive ability of Lucas’ side, Benitez also made a substitution adjustment. The Israeli Benayoun came on the bench and replaced Lucas, so that both wings have both. With personal breakthrough ability, Benitez intends to continue to focus on finding opportunities on the two sides.

As for Liverpool's offensive deployment of troops, Ancelotti naturally cannot ignore it.

Seeing the two wing cards played by Benitez, Ancelotti resolutely threw out his own response.

As Deco’s physical fitness is already at its limit, Ancelotti, who has learned a lot about the use of veterans, has the habit of ruining the main force, but it is all about the protection of young people and the "old" Ancelotti It can be done.

And when Liverpool’s two substitutions were clearly aimed at his own two wingers, Ancelotti naturally also sent his wing defenders to accept the game on the defensive end.

Malouda, who had a rare break in this game, went into battle at this moment and replaced Deco to strengthen the team's defense on the left.

Due to Malouda's presence, with his speed and physical advantage, Chelsea's left defense is almost in place.

This allows Chelsea to use the defensive advantage of the center to favor defensive assistance on the right.

And although the player Babel has made a name for himself at a young age, his speed, technical ability, and physical advantages are very good, but now, some of his growth has stagnated in the past few years.

In recent years, Babel has not played the title of "New Kluivert" in Liverpool in the Netherlands, and some tend to hurt him.

For the young Babel at the time, in the Dutch League, some young and arrogant arrogance that he developed in the Dutch league made him look very uncomfortable among giants like Liverpool, and he has not integrated into the Liverpool offensive system for a long time. Babel, now only in the late stage of the game, completed some personal attacks on the wing, to find a way to rely on personal strength, to see if the team can create some opportunities.

"Liverpool are now two goals behind. They urgently need fresh offensive blood to help the team make a breakthrough on the offensive end."

Babel's appearance, relying on his own personal ability, sometimes can really create some opportunities.

In such a game, you can rely on individual ability to create some offensive opportunities, which is indeed an effective offensive method, although the cost of this may be that the team's overall offense will be stagnated.

However, Liverpool’s overall offense was originally a luck element. Naturally, the ball can also be handed over to Babel, allowing him to play freely on the left.

Liverpool’s offense this season is actually somewhat similar to Chelsea’s. The team’s ability to break through is not too strong, especially after the loss of a midfielder master such as Xavi Alonso, the team’s pass through the center. Become more unbearable, so to disrupt the fight, fast fight, counter attack, or defensive counterattack, Liverpool is still quite strong, but playing against the wind, fighting tough battles, Liverpool's offensive ability has indeed declined significantly this season.

In the game, Liverpool, which almost shared the possession rate with Chelsea, has created only half of Chelsea's chances so far, and the total is less than 10 shots, which is a proof.

"Babel catches the ball on the left and rushes in with the ball by himself."

Ivanovic is responsible for defending Babel. Of course, he will not easily let Babel break through, stick to his position, and use his body to hit Babel to interfere with Babel's dribbling rhythm.

However, as a descendant of Suriname, Babel has not only excellent speed, but also excellent physical fitness of black descendants. In the late stage of the game, Ivan’s state is still affected by his physical fitness. The physical confrontation did not cause much influence on Babel.

"Babel dials the ball with his left foot to the outside, accelerates directly, and wants to force it over!"

"Ivan follow closely!"

"A sudden smash, Ivan had no time to turn around, it passed!"

The reason why Babel can become famous at a young age, become a football power, the main player of the Dutch national echelon, and the opportunity to join the Dutch national team at a young age is enough to see his strength.

Although the growth is limited, but the foundation is there after all, now Babel, who is coming off the bench and has plenty of energy, can take advantage of Ivan's lack of physical strength and use various changes to pass Ivan.

"Babel! Directly dribbling horizontally and hit the goal with a long shot!"

"Volley!"

"Hang up to the upper right corner!"

"Cech! Fly to save!"

Babel’s long shots are of extremely high quality, but Cech’s position is not too problematic. After all, everyone knows that Babel is a "terminator". When the ball is handed to Babel’s feet, there is almost no pass. time.

Therefore, for Babel's lateral dribbling, Cech has always been attentive and dare not care. When Babel hit the goal, Cech made a direct judgment. The lateral movement was very fast and he jumped directly to complete the save.

"Blocked! Babel's long shot was successfully shot by Cech!"

"For this ball, Babel used a sudden spiking change on the left to throw off Ivan's defense and cut inward. Before the Chelsea defender rushed to help defend, he suddenly swung his leg to hit the ball. Door. Although the swing of the legs is very small, the kicking force is full, the ball is fast, and the angle is fairly tricky."

"It's just that Cech's goal once again showed the world's top-level goalkeeper style. Cech, who has been changing positions, has not weakened his guard against Babel. After a long shot, Cech made a sideways save. A single palm successfully blocked the football, Babel's long shot, failed to score..."

Liverpool's last extremely fierce attack officially pulled away from Babel's this time.

The Liverpool players who had fallen behind by two goals and were forced into a desperate situation, regardless of their physical strength at this time, all members continued to press frantically, and when Chelsea controlled the ball, they used running to complete the conversion of the ball.

The home team, which already has the advantage of two goals, naturally will not leave Liverpool with the opportunity to successfully press and counterattack for the so-called possession rate at this time.

Once a Chelsea team player appears, the Liverpool players can't find the ball in the first place under the forward pressure of the Liverpool players. It must be directly "destroy" with a big foot forward or kick out of the boundary. Anyway, Liverpool's position attack, this game is just like that.

Time has proved that Benitez's two wing attacking intentions that were well thought of, in the end turned into a standout on the left.

Benayoun on the right, under the defense of the new Malouda, has no chance at all.

This is the case of Liverpool today. Many of the team’s names are there, but they are unable to play their strengths in the team and grow as expected.

In every transfer window, Liverpool will carefully select some powerful players to supplement the team's strength, but most of them have played in the end, without the original sense of surprise.

Benayoun, the Israeli national, is like that. After getting a substitute opportunity in this game, he did not show his ability to call the wind and rain on the right, and disappeared on the right side of the stadium...

The left side once again became Liverpool's last hope.

It’s just that although Babel can rely on his own personal ability to bully Ivan who ran for most of the time, and his physical fitness is no longer the best, but under the attention of Essien and Barack’s two midfielders, Babel is in The attack from the left can no longer directly threaten the goal.

Babel, who tried a few inside cuts, but no longer had an easy chance to hit the goal, as Liverpool's hope in the whole village on the wing, he continued his personal performance.

Since the long-range shot in front of the restricted area is not good enough, he will move his position deeper into the bottom line, and strive to pass Ivan before the bottom line, and then enter the restricted area, trying to find a way to hit the goal from a small angle.

Ok! Babel's pass button felt like he was forcibly knocked out. Anyway, trying to hit the goal is Babel's obsession.

Babel, who "calls the wind and calls the rain" on the left, entangled with Ivanovic and played very happily.

Babel enjoyed the process of "bullying" Ivan on the sidelines, but in terms of the results, there was still not much progress.

Although Babel occupies an advantage, Ivan is not able to directly cut off the football under his feet, but Ivan maintains his position fairly well. Although Babel occupies a clear advantage, Ivan is playing around. But if I want to sway Ivan's defense in the past, and go directly into the penalty area, it is always so last.

Every time, Babel and Ivan struggled to the end, giving Chelsea’s other defensive players enough time to come to help defend. Most of Babel passed the ball directly to the center or back to the midfield. Players, anyway, it doesn't help the team's threatening offense. It is better to send some threatening **** directly at some good time and when there is space!

Anyway, Liverpool’s offense is now chaotic and somewhat fragmented.

The team’s offensive run-in is not good, and the individual offense cannot be carried out due to the player’s personal state and personal level. With the passage of time, the red and blue battle, the balance of victory, has been infinitely pressed to the leader of the two goals. Chelsea.

"Gerard, finally got a chance to have enough space in the midfield."

"After receiving Benayoun's pass, Gerrard turned and took a step forward. Before Essien's defense was in place, he shot directly!"

"However, the ball was handled too hastily. Gerrard didn't hold down this foot to hit the goal, and directly fired the anti-aircraft gun."

"In this game, the Liverpool captain's opportunities are really limited. Although Liverpool has been in a state of suppression for a period of time in the game, Chelsea has always maintained the greatest vigilance against the threat of Liverpool's long-range shot from Gerrard. Gerrard's long-range shooting ability, under the defense of Essien and others, did not show up at all."

The game time has been close to 85 minutes, but the two substitutions of Benitez did not show much effect. The score on the field was still 2-0. The long-term attack was unsuccessful, which also made the Liverpool players' Mood was affected. In the final moments of the game, two goals behind and one goal behind, the hopes given to the trailing side are completely different. Some Liverpool players have passed by. After all, this is only one game in a long season. It's just an ordinary league...

Liverpool’s offense began to be more casual, or it was because some players did not completely follow the tactics due to physical and mental problems, making Liverpool’s overall formation relatively somewhat different even if they control the ball. Messy.

Babel is still showing his personal ability alone on the left. Most of the players on both sides are watching the show on the court and enjoying the closest ticket.

This time, Babel was taken advantage of Chelsea's possession of the ball before, Ivan, who took a sigh of relief, directly impacted with a tough body and broke the ball directly.

"Ivanovic, a successful personal defense, directly cut off the football under Babel, Chelsea's counterattack opportunity."

"Ivan made a long pass and passed it to the deep left!"

Malouda, who took a rest off the court for most of the time, ~www.readwn.com~, still has plenty of stamina, and this time all burst out.

Although Glen Johnson is a good right back, but in the final stage of the game, due to the offense back and forth and back to the defense, there is really not much stamina left.

This time, Chelsea’s counterattack was completely Malouda’s personal performance. He directly used his speed and excellent physical confrontation ability to form a crush on Glen Johnson. Johnson finally wanted to foul with rough moves, but Nor did it stop Malouda who had already started.

Malouda's stature was a bit staggered, but he still maintained his balance. The referee also ran and signaled that the offense was advantageous. After Malouda drove the ball across Johnson's defense, he was in front of the goal. Carragher's speed was too slow to be able to make up for it in time.

"Malouda's single-handed ball!"

"Reina is attacking!"

Malouda, who was inserted diagonally into the Liverpool penalty area from the left, faced the attacking goalkeeper Reina, and finally chose to shoot from the corner!

Reina mainly blocked the wide far corner area behind him. Although Malouda hit the goal, he split his legs to increase the defensive area, but still did not block the football.

"GOAL!!!"

"Malouda! In the counter-attack a push from the corner, score!"

"Chelsea was the icing on the cake by Malouda, who came off the bench in the final moments of the game, and completely sealed the victory 3-0!"

The celebration of the blue Chelsea players is in sharp contrast with the loss of the red Liverpool players. The handover of the times is just like the result of this game. In the Premier League era, blue may be destined to replace the former red. The glory of...
