Chapter 736 Crazy Yang Yang
When Yang Yang rushed out of the court amid the roar of the audience and rushed all the way to celebrate, Chelsea's players quickly rushed to the referee Cantareo. They were mainly reacting to Liverpool's foul when attacking a free kick. .
"Kuyt blocked me with his elbow, this is a foul!" Carvalho said aggrieved.
"Gerald fouled, he took my hand and won't let me move." Ivanovic yelled.
"And Skrtel, that tall guy is pulling my jersey with his hands behind me, you should see it." Ballack kept pulling his jersey, as if to let the referee see Skrtel's palm print left on it.
Spanish referee Cantareo was clearly prepared for such a situation.
As an experienced referee, he is very aware of the impact of this goal on Chelsea, and the total score is tied. In theory, as long as Liverpool score one more goal, it will reverse the score and perform a miracle.
More importantly, the difficulty of this miracle is greater than that of Istanbul.
Although it was the Champions League final, it was on a neutral pitch, and now it is on the road, challenging Chelsea with super defensive capabilities.
Therefore, in this case, it is understandable that a Chelsea player would rush up to complain before he blows the whistle after scoring a goal, but he did not intend to change the goal, so he kept waving his hands and saying Shaking his head.
"I see it clearly, everyone." Cantareo signaled to Chelsea's players to keep their distance.
"You pushed Kuyt hard before he could elbow you, and if you're going to hold it, it should be a penalty."
"And you, you hugged Gerald in your arms and nearly knocked him down."
Cantareo finally looked at Ballack and thought about it, the Germans really didn't seem to do anything, so he spread his hands speechlessly, "I can only say that if I really want to be serious, I can call a foul. , but it seemed more like a penalty."
Chelsea's players are speechless. They don't even know what kind of eyes this referee has. It's too outrageous to be able to see everything that happened in an instant, right?
Liverpool is known as the Spanish team in England. Not only the coaching staff is Spanish, but there are also many Spanish players in the team. Wouldn't the Spanish referee want to favor Liverpool?
On the other side, while the Liverpool players were celebrating, they also saw that the referee had not whistled for a long time, and then saw several Chelsea players crowd around to put pressure on them, and they all rushed forward like wolves.
Everything that happened in the penalty area just now was very fast. It can be said that people are overwhelmed, but no one is cleaner than the other. This is also the norm when taking a penalty from the set-piece in the frontcourt. ?
Liverpool scored three corner kicks at home, what did you say?
The referee Cantareo saw the Liverpool players rushing up, and immediately blocked Gerrard and others.
...
"The referee's control of the game situation is in place."
"At this time, Chelsea players will be very emotional, Liverpool players are hot-headed and focused on counterattacks. Both teams are angry. It is very important to separate them."
"From the slow-motion replay, Yang Yang's goal is really good. It is difficult to judge the wrestling of other players, but this long-distance stop can stop the ball so steadily, which is quite skillful. ."
"Some people say that Yang Yang is the player with the strongest stopping ability in the Premier League after Bergkamp, even better than Van Persie."
"And now, Liverpool's morale is like a rainbow, and it is a great opportunity to turn the score in one go."
"Instead of competing with the opponent on this ball, Chelsea might as well quickly think about how to stabilize their defense."
"At least, they're still holding a half-ball lead."
...
Hemispheric dominance?
For the more than 38,000 Chelsea fans at the scene, it was already trembling.
It was only 20 minutes, and the advantage of three goals before the game was quickly shortened to one goal.
But if Liverpool scores another goal, Chelsea will be reversed, and the team's starting tactics will be completely disrupted.
Anyone can see that Hiddink's idea in this game is to defend and counterattack, let Liverpool press out to fight, and then counterattack the opponent.
But if it is reversed by Liverpool, then Chelsea's style of play will not work.
And more importantly, with Liverpool's current morale and state, scoring a goal seems like a breeze.
Crazy Yang Yang! Crazy Liverpool!
Maybe even create a crazy score!
Thinking of the 6-1 at Old Trafford, how could the fans at Stamford Bridge not be worried?
...
"What the hell is going on?" Abramovich couldn't sit still.
The situation before the game was very good, but it turned out to be only 20 minutes after the opening game, and it was even leveled by Liverpool, and it may even be reversed by the opponent scoring another goal. How to play in the next game?
I know that Liverpool can play, I know that Liverpool is bloody, but I don't know that I can play to this extent.
"According to the current situation, we can't hold it at all." Abramovich has been watching the game for some years, and at least he can see some doorways and the situation on the court.
It can be said that Chelsea is at a critical period now. If Liverpool score another goal, then the good situation Chelsea occupied before the game may all fall short, and may even be at a disadvantage, and the situation will be completely reversed.
"We should find a way to stabilize the defense now, and don't let Liverpool's offensive after the opening disrupt the rhythm." Terry seemed to analyze it calmly, and he was also very troubled by the situation the team is facing now.
It is said to be defended, but Chelsea's best defensive line has already been arranged in the starting lineup. In this case, the adjustments the team can make are actually very limited, even if Hiddink has enough courage and courage. , Substitute after the opening of the first half, remove an offensive player, plus defense, it may not be able to stabilize.
But if they don't defend, Liverpool's offensive will become more and more fierce, until Chelsea is completely swallowed up.
According to the rhythm after the opening and the momentum shown by Liverpool, Chelsea may be difficult to hold.
How to do?
This is a tricky puzzle.
But at this moment, in front of the home team's coaching bench, Hiddink suddenly turned around and shouted towards the bench.
…………
…………
"Anelka!"
"Chelsea can't wait to make their first substitution!"
"Hiddink was obviously pushed by the situation of the game on the court, and had to make a substitution in the 20th minute of the first half. This is indeed quite surprising, but it can also be seen that Hiddink is courage."
"Substitutions at this time, if adjusted properly, can indeed interrupt Liverpool's offensive."
"He replaced No. 21 Kalou with No. 39 Anelka."
"I used a striker and replaced a striker. I don't know what Hiddink's specific intention is for this substitution?"
...
Not only the on-site commentators couldn't understand it, but the fans on the spot couldn't understand it, and neither could the Liverpool players themselves.
Generally speaking, unless the situation on the field is very bad, otherwise, the head coach generally will not make non-injury-related substitutions in the first half, because that is a denial of the starter, and it is also a starter for himself. tactical denial.
But Hiddink resolutely chose to make a substitution at this time, and he replaced Anelka, the team's top scorer, which was equivalent to telling everyone that he had already played his hole cards in advance. .
This is also a kind of risk, because if the trump card is played and the expected effect is not achieved, it will be a painful blow to the home team players.
Of course, the possibility of working is also very high, otherwise, Hiddink will not be able to arrange Anelka on the bench.
Therefore, Liverpool is also facing a big enemy and dare not be careless.
"Everyone cheer up and pay attention to defense, especially on the left."
Benitez loudly reminded the players on the pitch, signalling them to pay attention to the changes in Chelsea.
Others may not know, but Benitez himself is very clear, Hiddink is to gamble his life.
The 3-1 in the first leg gave Chelsea the advantage, and everyone believed that only a miracle could save Liverpool.
But in the second round, Liverpool played a tidal wave of offensive from the opening, and pulled two goals in 20 minutes.
At such a time, Chelsea's foundation to advance to the semi-finals has been crumbling, and the advantage gained in the first round has almost been lost. The only advantage is the advantage of away goals.
For Chelsea, defense may not be able to defend, because their strongest defensive lineup is already on the pitch.
So, Hiddink assessed the situation, made a decisive substitution, and adopted another method, that is, attack on attack, use Anelka to fight against Liverpool, and let it go.
Benitez himself has to admit that Hiddink is indeed very courageous and very good.
Liverpool need a goal now, but the team's defense is not solid at the same time as the team's fast-paced attack.
Malouda, Drogba and Anelka, will play an important role in the counterattack and become the enemy of Liverpool's defense.
In this case, Benitez did not blindly make targeted substitutions and adjustments, but signaled the players to pay attention and let Aurelio on the left pay attention to Anelka's side.
The team's situation is very good now, just give Liverpool a little more time and score another goal, then the situation will be completely reversed.
In this case, how can Benitez change the way the team plays?
...
Sometimes, football games are like that, and the whole process is full of trade-offs and games.
But in the midst of rapid change, many things are unexpected.
In the 28th minute of the game, Liverpool quickly scored to the left side of Chelsea's penalty area. Yang Yang dribbled the ball through the baseline and made a forward pass. Kuyt failed to grab a position at the back and turned into a goal kick.
Chelsea served the ball quickly, Drogba competed for the first spot, and after a few consecutive passes from the Chelsea midfielder, it went to the right and handed it over to Anelka.
The French forward dribbled the ball forward and took the initiative to find Lampard for a wall-collar cooperation. He quickly made a forcible breakthrough on the right, and was forced to the corner by Benayoun and Aurelio. , but a low pass was sent from the bottom line.
Liverpool's goal, Drogba quickly followed and forced his foot with almost no angle.
Reina steadfastly stuck in position, fell to the ground and hugged.
This was originally a sure-fire defense, but I didn't expect Reina to let go.
Not only did he get out of hand, the ball also turned to his own goal.
