Volume 1: When a Hero Appears, People Pay Attention. Chapter 197: Although He Is Embarrassed, He Does Not Lose the Ball (Fourth Update, Please Vote for Me!)

Chapter 197: Although we are embarrassed, we don’t lose the ball (fourth update, please vote for me!)

During the long break, the atmosphere in the Chelsea dressing room was not very good. ""

The players were very unhappy about conceding a goal in the first half, but it was okay because after all, it was Chen Yingxiong who scored the goal. What made them even more unhappy was that they launched a fierce counterattack after losing the ball, but were unable to break through the gate of Liverpool's reserve team.

But they still don't think this is because of the opponent's strength. They think it is their own tactical problem.

Although the counterattack at the last moment of the first half was fierce, it was only relative to the previous one.

They felt that it was not violent enough. If they wanted to be more violent, they would have to press the whole line and continue for a long time.

But the tactics don't allow it.

Advocaat asked the four defenders not to move.

In this way, the team's offense lacks will and level.

Chelsea players believe this is a fundamental problem.

It was like they were fighting Liverpool in shackles.

This way you can't use your full strength at all.

They hope the head coach can adjust tactics in the second half.

Advocaat can also appreciate the players' resentment towards this tactic.

Because when he was preparing for this final, when he put forward careful tactical requirements, some players expressed dissatisfaction at that time.

Now, under such cautious circumstances, the ball was still conceded in the first half. It is natural for the players to react.

If he doesn't agree to change tactics, I'm afraid he will encounter great resistance in the locker room and it will be difficult for him to carry out future work.

But if they adjust their tactics... Chelsea may be in trouble - he really doesn't dare to underestimate this Liverpool reserve team. It's simple, because he is very aware of the abilities of his favorite disciple Chen Yingxiong. He has the ability to turn corruption into magic. No matter how miserable the Liverpool reserve team is, as long as he has him, they will have the ability to win the championship. (《》)

He was caught in a dilemma.

Advocaat looked around the locker room. Some of the players around him were looking at him, waiting for his instructions. Some pretended not to look at him, but were actually glancing at him from the corner of their eyes.

This is silent pressure.

It seems that these people are still not convinced by themselves...

Not very convinced by Chen Yingxiong.

It is a good thing to have arrogance, but it is not a good thing if this arrogance is used against the wrong opponent. Whether it is used on oneself or against Chen Yingxiong, it is not a good thing.

He sighed and made his decision.

"In the second half, we adjusted our tactics."

He could clearly see the changes in the expressions on the players' faces after hearing this sentence.

They were full of confidence and thought they could turn defeat into victory in the second half.

Advocaat hopes so too, but his reason tells him that it's not that simple.

But could he choose anything else at this time?

"Since we have conceded a goal now, there is no point in continuing to defend... In the second half, we attacked, pressed forward, and put enough pressure on their defense..."

Although I know that the end result of pressing the offense will not be very good. But Advocaat still has to work hard to save it. If...even if there is only one ten thousandth chance, he will work hard to expand it to one percent.

So in the following time, he still worked hard to adjust the tactics for the second half for the players, and it was completely invisible that he was actually forced to do so...

While listening to the boss's offensive tactics for the second half, the Chelsea players thought to themselves: When we defeat Liverpool and win back the FA Cup, we must make the boss truly convinced!

How could Advocaat fail to see the little thought in the eyes of the Chelsea players?

How many teams has he coached and how many people have he met? What thoughts can he hide from him?

But he didn't point it out. For him, no matter how much he said now, it was useless. Only when the result was in front of them... No, the result was useless. ("") Only when they really feel it during the game will they admit it...

In the Liverpool locker room, the players were very excited and excited, but they did not show it. At most, they clenched their fists or squeezed their thighs to see if they were dreaming.

Liverpool's reserve team showed restraint. I am not as happy as others think because of a little achievement.

They are very clear-headed.

They were all losers in the cruel competition and had no way to enter the first team for one reason or another.

Struggling in the reserve team all year round, with no one paying attention and no one interested, has taught them to put aside unrealistic fantasies, to put it harshly, to feel depressed and self-prepared but lacking in self-confidence.

So they can't get carried away with a one-goal lead.

This should have been their shortcoming, but now it has become their advantage.

If it were the first team, they might have started celebrating the championship in advance.

Martin O'Neill looked at the determined looks in the eyes of these reserve team players and nodded with satisfaction in his heart.

Just by looking at this group of people, he wasn't too worried about the second half.

Of course he knows that Chelsea will make some adjustments, and maybe they will press hard.

Although it gave Liverpool a chance to counterattack, it also put added pressure on Liverpool's defense.

But he believed these people could withstand it.

They have worked hard on defense this month. In the match against the first team, they have even made it difficult for the first team without Chen Yingxiong to score goals when attacking.

Confidence does not come out of thin air, but slowly grows by guiding them through a month of training.

At halftime everyone was talking about the first half. Liverpool actually led Chelsea by one goal in the first half, which surprised many people.

It's not surprising that Chen Yingxiong scored a goal, but what they didn't expect was that the Liverpool reserve team's defense really blocked the Chelsea first team's offensive. In the second half of the first half, Chelsea's offensive was much more intense than before, but they did not concede a goal.

"...But this situation will change in the second half. I think Chelsea will definitely make adjustments during the halftime break and their offense will be stronger. In the first half, they were limited by tactics and their offensive firepower was not fully activated. . But the second half is different... So although I admire the performance of the Liverpool reserve team in the first half, I don't think they will have such good luck in the second half... They will definitely concede the goal. This is a moment to test heroes. Here it comes - see if he can compete with the entire Chelsea team..."

What the commentator said during the halftime break can represent the views of the vast majority of people - although they applauded the tenacious performance of the Liverpool reserve team in the first half, they also felt rationally that Liverpool would not be able to continue this kind of performance. Excellent performance, once Chelsea puts more pressure on their defense, this team will definitely collapse!

At the beginning of the second half, just as these people thought, Chelsea took advantage of the kick-off opportunity to launch a tsunami-like offensive towards Liverpool's defense.

What was originally a four-line formation was reduced to two lines by Chelsea - one of which was Chen Yingxiong alone...

Under such a powerful offensive, Liverpool's counterattack basically came to a halt.

Next, something that surprised everyone happened little by little...

※※※

"Hulk's shot! Brad Jones - a great save! World class!!"

Brad Jones, the main goalkeeper of Liverpool's reserve team, fell heavily to the ground, but he quickly jumped up from the ground, and then he raised his arms and shouted.

His move sparked a chorus of cheers from the Liverpool fans in the stands.

Just now, he used a difficult save to save Hulk's shot, almost on the goal line!

"Hulk couldn't believe his eyes... He held his head in his hands! He must have thought that he was going to score... He finally got the chance to shoot in the penalty area. The football he shot was urgent and tricky. , but Jones jumped out!"

…

"Evans used his body to block Mikel's long shot! The Chelsea players signaled to the referee that it was a handball... but the referee knew clearly that Evans did not have a handball. He indeed blocked it with his chest. Football! Evans' defense is just a microcosm. In fact, all the players in the Liverpool reserve team are defending so desperately. Under Chelsea's fierce offensive, the forty-five minutes in the second half seemed so long... They could hold on to the game. Is it over?"

…

"Jay Spearing, as the defensive midfielder in the half-time game, is under a lot of pressure because he is an important part of the defense in the middle. If Chelsea wants to attack from the middle, they have to get past him first! Hazard... his movements were really flexible! He threw away Spearing... No! Spearing caught up. He grabbed Hazard's jersey, but soon let go, and then he A kick from the side... a shovel!! A very accurate tackle! No foul! You know, he is carrying a yellow card! But it seems that this yellow card did not affect his defense at all!"

…

Just like that, five minutes passed. Chelsea's offensive was overwhelming and Liverpool's defense was embarrassing, but the score was still 1:0, with Liverpool leading.

Ten minutes have passed, Chelsea's offensive has not slowed down, and Liverpool's defense is embarrassing. The score is still 1:0, and Liverpool leads by one goal.

Fifteen minutes have passed. After fifteen minutes of continuous bombardment, Chelsea's offensive rhythm has slowed down and the momentum has weakened. Liverpool's defense is still very embarrassing, but the score has not changed, it is still 1:0, Liverpool has a goal. lead.

No matter what the previous process was, the final result was the same. Liverpool defended awkwardly but did not concede the ball.

If you only look at their embarrassing defense, many people will think so: next time, the next time Chelsea attacks, they will definitely not be able to hold on and collapse, and Chelsea's goal will definitely come in the next attack...

However, next time and next time, and next time so many times, Liverpool just didn't concede the ball.

Their goal stood firm amid Chelsea's offensive frenzy!
