Chapter 685 Abu's Bottom Line
Abramovich sat in the chairman's stand at Stamford Bridge, his face sinking.
Frankly speaking, he is not satisfied with this game.
Because Chelsea didn't play well, even if they seemed to have the advantage of passing the ball, they actually failed to create a truly threatening attack, which made the scene look very dull.
Dull games have never been his pursuit, he wants to win, and at the same time win to look good.
The best game is the kind of offensive, Chelsea beat the opponent by a big score, that's called fun.
Scolari promised this before he took over, but it is clear that the Brazilian underestimated the difficulty of coaching in the Premier League.
After Makelele left, Mikel began to be supported by the main force and dragged back to the midfield position. The African midfielder, who was born in the front midfield, is still very good at playing the ball. With Lampard and Deco, Chelsea In midfield you can really control the ball.
In contrast, Liverpool appears to be a lot of rough-and-tumble.
Of course, the Red Army's midfield is still quite good in terms of defense. The combination of Mascherano and Xavi Alonso, plus a Gerrard, Liverpool's midfield can be described as the moment Europe's top midfield configuration.
Chelsea tried many times in this game to open the situation from the middle, but failed to create a threat. Instead, they were restrained by Liverpool again and again, assigned to the wing, and failed to open the situation from the wing. The attack can be said to be fully restrained.
But fortunately, the defense grabbed well.
"At the very least, no more goals for Yang Yang." Abramović laughed.
Peter Kenyon and other Chelsea executives also laughed and nodded, apparently agreeing with the boss's statement.
The time has jumped to eighty-five minutes, and the time left for both parties is already good. From the current situation, a zero-to-zero result is the most likely.
Abramovich has resentment towards Yang Yang, and Yang Yang can score every time he plays against Chelsea, which is undoubtedly a very shameful thing for Abramovich, so even if this game cannot be defeated Liverpool, but as long as they can freeze Yang Yang, they are still within the acceptable range of Abramovich.
At the very least, it didn't exceed his bottom-line expectations.

On the pitch, Liverpool are still working hard.
Benitez held two substitutions in his hand, but he never moved.
On the contrary, Scolari, at the 85th minute, used up the last substitution spot and replaced Bosingwa with Sinclair. The Portuguese right-back entangled Yang Yang the whole game and was already exhausted. Can't run anymore.
Substitution at this time proves that Scolari also judged that this game should be like this.
Liverpool are away and a 0-0 draw is acceptable for them.
As for Chelsea, the situation recently is not very ideal. The draw with Chelsea 0-0, although the scene is a little embarrassing, but at least not losing, it is also within the acceptable range.
This should be a reasonable outcome acceptable to both parties.
In the 87th minute, Deco passed the ball. Belletti didn't even enter the 30-meter area. He just shot from the outside and failed to make a threat.
But it is not difficult to see that the Chelsea players on the field also think so.
A zero-to-zero handshake made peace and ended this disastrous stalemate as soon as possible.
The atmosphere is so weird!
But Carvalho and Terry are still loudly reminding their teammates, indicating that they can't relax their vigilance.
"Hurry back and defend!"
"Be careful, the midfielder should pay attention to interception."
The two shouted, but their attention was all on Yang Yang.
Others can be careless, but they can't.
Because he knows that Yang Yang is one of those types, if you give him a little chance, even at the last point and the last second of the game, he will be able to create unexpected top stars for you.
Such a player cannot give him the slightest chance, as long as the whistle does not sound, absolutely not!
...
Eighty-eight minutes later, Liverpool finally made a substitution.
Lucas Rewa replaced Kuyt.
Gerrard was pushed to the right flank, apparently strengthening the midfield defence.
After Lucas Rewa came on, Xavi Alonso was positioned slightly higher, the Brazilian midfielder and Mascherano formed a double midfielder, Gerrard moved to the right, and Liverpool's formation was a bit like Four five one.
Yang Yang alone occupied the entire penalty area in the frontcourt.
It looked like a conservative substitution for Benitez and was even interpreted as a sign that Liverpool had given up.
In fact, with Liverpool's performance in this game, the draw is a very reasonable result, because the Reds did not play very well.
In the middle of the week, Atletico Madrid just died, and this away game against Chelsea, the draw is a very good result.
For example, a month ago, after Ferguson drew away with Chelsea, he was in a good mood and said it was acceptable with a smile.
But other people think so, but Yang Yang doesn't think so.
...
In the 89th minute, Chelsea got another chance. Di Santo headed the ferry and Mikel took another long-range shot from the 30-meter perimeter, which was outrageous again.
In just two minutes, Chelsea took two consecutive long-range shots, which not only reflected that Chelsea's attack could not break through Liverpool's defense, but also made people see the impetuousness of Chelsea's players, who were obviously waiting for the end of the game.

"Playing a close game is like watching an extremely dull movie, not only the audience and fans are drowsy, but even the players on the pitch can't be motivated."
Cristiano Ronaldo laughed again when he saw Mikel's long shot.
He also noticed that the fourth official on the sidelines marked three minutes of stoppage time.
"The overall situation has been decided, the two sides shook hands and made peace, and Yang Yang's continuous goal momentum stopped at Chelsea!"
After listening to Ronaldinho's words, Mendes also laughed, "Would you like to open a bottle of champagne to celebrate?"
After hearing this, Ronaldinho nodded immediately, "There are still two bottles on the table over there. They were obtained when they were the best in the game this season. I haven't had a chance to drink. Open a bottle to celebrate?"
"I'll go." Mendes offered to ask.
Not long after, Mendes brought two glasses and an open bottle of champagne, poured a glass for Ronaldinho and himself, and handed them over, only to hear a clang, and the two clink glasses.
But at this time...
…………

Xavi Alonso dribbled the ball forward and quickly moved to the left.
Gareth Bell chased after him at the fastest speed. Facing Belletti, he immediately heard in his mind what Yang Yang had told him before, and at the same time, Belletti played as a right back.
As a result, the Welshman made a decisive decision, his left foot stopped the ball to his right, and he was about to cut inward.
This sudden change really surprised Belletti, and he tried to block it quickly. As a result, Gareth Bell suddenly dunked the ball back with his right foot, poked forward with his left foot, and caught up with him at the fastest speed. .
The Welshman's speed completely exploded at this moment, and Belletti was directly thrown away by him.
As soon as Belletti was thrown away, Gareth Bale grabbed the opponent's defender and made a diagonal pass into the penalty area.
Yang Yang ran all the way from the middle to meet him, Carvalho clinging to his side, and kept squeezing him with his body.
Today's Yang Yang is no longer the skinny boy he was when he was born at the beginning of the year, and he is not as weak as he was when he first arrived in the Premier League. In the physical confrontation with Carvalho, he did not fall behind and rushed to the left line of the penalty area. Intercepted a pass from Gareth Bale.
After a pause, he blocked Carvalho behind him with his body.
The Portuguese central defender held Yang Yang's head with one hand, and his elbow was on his neck. He wanted to hold him back, but Yang Yang failed to let him succeed. He leaned back slightly and pressed his back against him. Don't let him catch up, protect the ball.
At the same time, Yang Yang moved his head and broke free from Carvalho's elbow, making a gesture of rushing towards the bottom line.
After Carvalho was freed, he grabbed Yang Yang's ears and hair with his hands for the first time, but he didn't grasp it and slipped.
Seeing that Yang Yang was about to go to the bottom again, there was still time to think about it, and the whole person quickly fell to the ground and shoveled.
But Yang Yang suddenly dunked the ball back, turned around nimbly, like a Marseille roundabout, and threw the ball over.
Mikel returned to the defense immediately and entangled Yang Yang in the penalty area, but Yang Yang had never experienced such a battle before, blocking Mikel with his shoulder and dribbling the ball with his left foot.
He made up his mind that as soon as Mikel made a small movement, he would just fall to the ground.
Mikel pounced hard, but for fear of hitting Yang Yang, he stopped his pace abruptly, opened his hands to signal that he was not moving, but Terry quickly pounced on his side.
All of this was seen by Yang Yang, and he also noticed that Cech stood very cleverly, just blocking the gap between Terry and the goal.
What is certain is that if Yang Yang reluctantly kicks up and hits the goal directly, there will only be one result, that is, the shot is directly held by Cech in his arms.
The Blues goalkeeper was not only extremely precise in his position selection, but also cooperated with Terry quite tacitly. He made the best choice in an instant, blocking most of Yang Yang's shooting angles.
But only the vast majority.
Because there is still a passage, that is, bypassing Terry, going around the arc, and hitting the far corner, but this is very difficult.
But Yang Yang had almost no choice but to give it a try.
Almost as soon as he saw Cech in place, Yang Yang made a choice immediately. Before Terry was in place, he dunked the ball from his left foot back to his right foot. With his own feeling, he pocketed the inside of his right foot. Out of a curve ball.
Yang Yang's choice surprised Terry very much. He turned pale in shock. At the same time, he wanted to block it, but he was a step behind.
The ball flew past Terry's side, and after drawing a graceful and obvious arc, it went around the goal behind Terry.
Cech, who had reacted, flew to save the first time, stretched his entire body as much as possible, and tried his best to stop the shot. At the same time, he stretched his right hand as much as possible, trying to block the ball.
But in the end, he still couldn't get it.
Too far!
He could only watch the curved ball helplessly, circled into the goal, and hit the side net on the right side of the goal.
