Chapter 54 Head-on confrontation (fourth update, please vote for me!)
Chelsea's crazy and threatening offensive finally came to an end after this corner kick, and Liverpool began to organize some attacks.
The two sides started a tug-of-war in the midfield.
At the time, perhaps no one would have thought anything of it, but when everyone watches the game again, they will definitely find that the aerial duel between Chen Yingxiong and Hulk was actually a turning point in the game.
Before Chen Yingxiong thwarted Hulk's enthusiasm, Chelsea attacked like a wave, and every attack seemed to be able to break through Liverpool's gate. But when Chen Yingxiong knocked Hulk down in the air, Chelsea's offensive was like a deflated ball. Liverpool gradually took the initiative.
Of course, the way they take the initiative is rather crude...
Mainly because Chen Yingxiong is very rough.
Chen Yingxiong taught Hulk a lesson once in defense, and now he wants to show Hulk what real power is in offense!
※ ※ ※
Martin O'Neill knows that if you are too weak against a team like Chelsea, you will be suppressed by the opponent's momentum. So Liverpool must also toughen up. To put it bluntly, it’s a head-on confrontation.
Therefore, Liverpool's offense in this game is much simpler, and at the same time much rougher, all with rough lines.
When the football reaches the frontcourt, it divides the sides, breaks through and crosses from the wing, and then Chen Yingxiong uses his body to go head-to-head with Chelsea's defender in the penalty area.
In addition, whether it is offense or defense, Liverpool's players must try their best when competing with Chelsea for possession of the ball. Liverpool players must treat those situations where everyone seems to have a 50% chance, with a 100% attitude.
This is the tactic Martin O'Neill formulated for the team before the game. However, at the beginning of the game, Chelsea relied on the fact that they were playing at home and had a psychological advantage to suppress Liverpool.
It wasn't until Chen Yingxiong knocked Hulk to the ground in the air that Chelsea's prestige was dampened.
Since then, under the active pressing of Liverpool players, the initiative in the game has gradually fallen into Liverpool's hands.
※ ※ ※
Advocaat was also very smart. Seeing that Liverpool was gradually gaining the upper hand, and seeing that it was already thirty minutes into the first half, he immediately made a decision and asked the team to withdraw and defend.
As long as he can hold on to this advantage, he will still have room to make adjustments when he returns to the halftime break.
The most important thing is that if they can maintain the lead into the first half, then Liverpool's morale will be hit, and Chelsea will be full of confidence. If one goes one after another, Chelsea will regain the advantage.
It has to be said that Advocaat's adjustment is very correct.
But sometimes, it's not just the tactics of the head coaches of both teams that affect the final result.
Many times, luck takes the dominant factor...
Before the football finally enters the goal, when the goal is launched, who can know that the football will definitely enter the goal?
In the 38th minute, Inler intercepted the ball in the midfield. He first poked the ball away from Milk's feet, and then quickly pounced on it and made a frontal tackle, shoveling the football from Hazard's feet. . Hazare fell to the ground due to inertia.
If this action had been in La Liga, the referee would have probably called a foul long ago, but in the Premier League, the referee just took a look at it, turned around and ran forward.
Because Yinle has poked the football out!
Inler knew this was a good opportunity for Liverpool to counterattack, so he stabbed the football out before he even had time to get up from the ground.
It happened to fall at Gerrard's feet. Gerrard didn't dribble the ball, but passed the ball to the wing with his feet.
Gareth Bale stepped in at high speed, stretched out his left foot and stopped the ball steadily. At the same time, he knocked the football out with his right heel, accelerated himself, and the speed picked up.
Gareth Bale dribbled the ball and ran wildly down the wing, while Chelsea's defense was waiting in front.
The Liverpool fans in the stands finally let out a huge cheer to cheer for their team.
※ ※ ※
Bell didn't run too far with the ball, running all the way to the baseline. Then there is no chance.
Now there is space behind Chelsea's defense and it's worth a try.
So when he just ran to the extended line of the penalty area, he directly passed the ball with his left foot and sent the football out.
Chen Yingxiong has been following up at high speed in the middle. After seeing Bell pass the football, he accelerated suddenly into the penalty area, and then jumped high!
The football draws a beautiful arc in the air.
Chelsea center back Gary Cahill stood firm and then jumped for the top.
But he was not able to hit the ball because he was knocked from behind by Chen Yingxiong while he was still rising...
Like Jordan taking off from the free throw line and dunking, Chen Yingxiong jumped high and ran straight into Cahill.
He can obviously jump higher than Cahill!
"hero--!"
The narrator drew out his voice.
They all had a premonition in their hearts that they would have to shout "goal" soon.
Sure enough, when Chen Yingxiong bumped into Cahill, he stretched his head and hit the football.
A beautiful and powerful shot to the top!
The fans in the stands seemed to be able to see the muffled sound made by the collision between Chen Yingxiong and Cahill.
Many people even twitched their lips unconsciously and frowned.
Some people are thinking that Cahill has really suffered this time!
※ ※ ※
Cahill was knocked down by Chen Yingxiong and fell over, and the football was also headed toward the goal by Chen Yingxiong!
All the time happened in an instant, in a flash of lightning, it was amazing that Chelsea goalkeeper Cech was able to make a save.
But he was not able to catch the football.
The football was directly pushed into the goal by Chen Yingxiong!
Another Chelsea center back, David Ruiz, raised his arm to signal that Chen Yingxiong had committed a foul.
But the referee didn't agree with him... The referee blew his whistle, turned around and pointed his finger at the center circle!
This is a valid gesture for scoring goals!
※ ※ ※
“goooooooooooooooooooal!!!”
"Hero! He equalized the score for the team!"
"What a powerful header! Near the penalty spot, the football flew to the predetermined spot almost instantly!"
"Ruiz thinks that Chen Yingxiong committed a foul? But in fact, this is not a foul. This is a reasonable collision in the air, because Chen Yingxiong did not push people with his hands. He put his hands up and directly hit the card with his body. Hill's! It can only be said that the hero's impact in the air is too strong! Imagine that he directly bounced Hulk, who is known for his physical strength, when he was defending! So overwhelming Cahill, for him Maybe there’s no effort at all!”
"The hero's header really makes people's adrenaline surge every time! I love this domineering header that is full of power!"
Chen Yingxiong landed amidst the cheers of the commentators, then spread his arms, ran to the corner flag area, and then dived to complete his most common celebration after scoring a header.
※ ※ ※
Pepe witnessed Chen Yingxiong's header from the backcourt.
When he saw Chen Yingxiong jump up, he felt that Chen Yingxiong jumped a little early, because Bell's cross had just been made at that time.
But unexpectedly, Chen Yingxiong seemed to be able to fly, gliding in the air for a distance, and then slammed into Cahill.
Poor Cahill, facing Chen Yingxiong from his side, he never expected that Chen Yingxiong could jump up so far away and fly to him, and was knocked directly from the air.
Seeing this scene, he thought of what Skrtel told him.
"A hero who can score goals is not scary. What is scary is an unreasonable hero..."
He particularly agrees with this sentence now. Everyone is a central defender, and he also understands why Skrtel said this.
He even sympathized with Cahill.
Facing such an unreasonable Chen Yingxiong, he must feel the same as when he was at Real Madrid, right?
But fortunately, now I don't have to worry about such a thing, because I have become teammates with him through transfer!
※ ※ ※
Chen Yingxiong's goal helped Liverpool equalize the score and also boosted the team's morale.
Affected by this, Chelsea's morale took a hit.
The situation began to undergo a fundamental reversal.
However, Chelsea finally did not concede another goal before the end of the game.
After all, it was already thirty-eight minutes when Liverpool equalized the score, leaving them little time to score another goal.
In the first half, the two sides tied at 1:1.
At halftime, everyone still felt that Chelsea still had a chance to maintain their unbeaten record against Liverpool at Stamford Bridge.
As long as Chelsea plays a little more carefully in the second half.
But in the Liverpool dressing room, no one wanted the game to end in a draw.
Martin O'Neill is motivating everyone: "We have never been able to win a victory at Chelsea's home court. Now, I think it is time to end this somewhat embarrassing record! We have strong troops and are in excellent form. If we still can't win, then I think it will be better in the future. We don’t have to think about this problem! Maybe we can win the final championship even if we lose to Chelsea in an away game. But this has nothing to do with the championship, this is related to Liverpool’s dignity! We are so strong, but we won it at Stamford Bridge Chelsea can't do anything? This is not normal!"
"In the second half, we continued to attack and kept the rhythm in our hands! Continue to maintain the high-pressure press like in the first half! Liverpool has won its first league title in 22 years, there is no reason why they can't win one at Stamford Bridge Chelsea!”
"The hero's goal proves that our tactics are correct. To deal with a tough team like Chelsea, we must be tougher than them! Than spirit? Than tenacity? Than will and quality? We are not weaker than Chelsea! A team that can The team that created the miracle night in Istanbul cannot win a Stamford Bridge? This is unscientific!"
"Return to the pitch, beat Chelsea, capture Stamford Bridge, and completely break this barrier!"
