After the game began, Iello realized that the real reason why this Champions League semi-final was different from previous Premier League matches was that the pace of the game was faster and there were more physical confrontations!

Or rather, the Liverpool players are more nervous about this game!!

Although the feeling of visiting Anfield in the Premier League this season is a bit stressful, it is definitely not as big as it is now, and if the feeling of this game is very intense, then the Premier League can only be regarded as average.

For five minutes, Iroh didn't get a chance to face the goal directly, and he spent more of his time like a pillar of the ball up front, then attracting enough defensive strength to pass the ball out and then run.

Chelsea's attack was remarkably fluid thanks to Elo's running and quick crossing, but the efficiency of the attack was gone, and there were no shots that directly threatened the goal, only a dispensable possession ratio.

According to Mourinho's coaching style, he prefers to use the excess possession advantage to convert into a dangerous attack, because possession advantage only shows a team's ability to control, and the efficiency of using the only opportunities to score is a reflection of a team's true level.

Liverpool is such a team now, although it seems that the proportion of possession is very small, but once it is quickly passed through the midfield, the speed of Torres is advancing with the ball at high speed, and the damage caused is very large, quite like the role of Aiello during the Valencia period.

Mourinho, who was standing on the sidelines, looked at the situation on the field, his brows furrowed, it was obvious that he did not anticipate the situation on the field, the current Liverpool team is much stronger than expected, but ...... It's obviously the same lineup, why is it so much stronger in the Champions League semifinals? It's really incredible.

If Benitez could have peeked into Mourinho's thoughts, he would have said proudly: "An upstart is a nouveau riche, and there is no rich background at all!" Liverpool was the hegemon of Europe in the past and is now! ”

What is the use of league dominance? Do you have what it takes to compete in the Champions League?

Reaching the last four of the Champions League in three of four years, one of the titles, what does Chelsea have? It's just two Champions League semi-finals in four years, and all of them have been eliminated, so ...... Keep being eliminated! Damn nouveau riche!

Ten minutes into the game, Chelsea still couldn't find a good chance to threaten Reina's goal, but Liverpool had three shots on target, which was an absolute disadvantage by the numbers.

"Ai, move forward!"

After ten minutes of play, the team had not created a single chance, and the central midfield Frank Lampard was a little anxious, so he took advantage of a dead ball opportunity to greet Elo.

After being reminded by Lampard, Iello also realised that he had been too quiet during this time, so he waved his hand to show that he understood.

Having said that, Iello was conscious of the ball and moved forward, but he was immediately met with a strong block - from the Argentinian Mascherano.

……

Looking at the football that was stabbed away again, Iroh raised his eyebrows, and the little pony was more ...... than he remembered It's a lot stronger!

And then the pressure is increasing.

In fact, it was not only the people concerned who felt a lot of pressure, but also the Chelsea players on the pitch, and even the commentators in the studio.

"At present, this Chelsea team is in the semi-finals for the second time in four years under the guidance of Jose Mourinho, but the experience of the Champions League is obviously a little worse than Liverpool, you must know that most of the players on the field of this Liverpool team were involved in the magical Istanbul night of the 2004-2005 season, which made their combat effectiveness increase a lot invisibly, so even if Chelsea have the advantage of possession on the field, the threatening attack is not as good as Liverpool......"

BBC commentator Lineker shook his head.

"Yes, Chelsea is a team that has only been picked up in recent years, and the giants are not as deep as Liverpool, at most they are a quasi-giant team, only when they win the Champions League can they remove the word 'quasi' and become a real giant team, but this road is still a little far for them, so there is quite a lot of tuition to pay......"

The commentator nodded.

Lineker and his commentators are also gushing about the actual combat effectiveness of the two teams on the field.

Liverpool on the pitch launched a surprise attack.

※※※

In recent minutes, Chelsea's attacks have been consciously launched from the left side of Eilo, so Mascherano, one of Liverpool's defensive midfielders in the half, will be tasked with keeping an eye on Ailo within 30 metres of goal, while Xavi Alonso covers the area in front of the centre-back.

As usual, Iello faced Mascherano's close defense, naturally opened his left arm, and then waved his hand to signal Ballack, who was holding the ball, to pass the ball, who knowingly passed the ball in Iro's path.

I don't know what the reason is, Ballack's passing power is a bit light, so Ielloh, who has just started to speed, must slow down the speed and wait for the ball, and this wait allows the defending Maschénano to find a glimmer of hope for the ball.

Mascherano, who is 1.74 meters tall, has an emergency stop that is faster than Aillo's 1.86 meters tall, plus Mascherano was shaken by Iro's sudden start, and the speed of starting is a little slow, and the football passed by Barak happened to be at the moment when he started, so ......

So Mascherano had the advantage of a low center of gravity, so he saw the football and fell directly to the ground with his left foot and stabbed it with his left foot, and Iroh jumped up in order to avoid the former's side moves, and this jump also made Iroh lose possession.

Coincidentally, the stab hit the feet of Steven Gerrard in front of Liverpool's half-circle, who took two roundabout steps, rolled the ball to his feet, twisted his waist and swung the ball straight into the Chelsea half, the rib direction of his own attacking right.

Torres, who started at high speed on the halfway line, shook off Carvalho and Ashley Cole in an instant and drove the ball forward dozens of meters, and what happened then was what the Liverpool players in the stands wanted to see, lying down in the box and shooting into the goal......

Torres was quite excited after confirming that the football was in the net, and he ran around a big bend to the KOP stands behind the goal, which is the stand of Liverpool's die-hard fans, frantically tugging his shirt back and forth, and his mouth was roaring.

It's as if I want to vent all the grievances in my heart.

This season, he and Iello transferred from La Liga to Liverpool and Chelsea at the same time, and also top-level transfer fees from their respective teams, but the performance of the two is still very different, as if returning to the La Liga period, Liverpool's league results this season are not good, and Torres is also used as a scapegoat by the media, because he has scored only half of Elo's goals, which is a completely unqualified answer for a top striker who transferred for 30 million pounds.

But Torres is now telling everyone that if he has the chance, he will take the opportunity to prove himself, as he is now, and score a crucial goal in a crucial game like the Champions League semi-final to help the team break the deadlock!

If the team's defence is good enough, then this goal will be enough to ensure Liverpool reach this season's Champions League final in the two-legged semi-finals!

As a result, all the Liverpool fans in the stands at Anfield Stadium were quite excited, chanting Torres' name in unison, which resounded throughout the stadium.

Mourinho was very dissatisfied with the goal conceded, the ball was cut off just now, and the central midfielder standing in front of the defender did not meet the core of Liverpool midfielder Gerrard in time, and only then did he guide the latter's direct non-stop pass, which made Torres seize the opportunity to smash Huanglong.

It wasn't a mistake by one person, it was a collective distraction in the team's defensive system at this moment, and that's what Mourinho really got angry about.

"Wake me up! If you don't want to keep playing on the pitch, let me know and I'll replace him right away!!! ”

So when the goal was a fact, he rushed to the sideline and roared loudly.

Looking at the player who didn't dare to raise his head because he was scolded, he shook his head, and then shouted twice at Iro, who was walking back and preparing to kick off, signaling him to come over, he had something to say.

'When the game restarts, you have to go down two more ribs, get Didiera out and play for you, disrupt the Liverpool backline and ...... Don't stay on the left flank, switch places with Florente and Didier if necessary, remember...... Your task is to get the ball into the opponent's goal, you don't have to think about anything else, ok? ”

Due to the loud sound of the scene, Mourinho pulled Ailo to his side and explained the tactics of the next game to Ailo in an orderly manner.

And Iroh listened to Mourinho's analysis and explanation, and nodded while digesting.

In addition to the camera at Anfield Stadium on Torres, who scored the goal, after a while, the camera was given to the front of the visiting team's command area, that is, where Mourinho explained the technical and tactical play of the next game to Elo.

It immediately aroused speculation among the commentators in the live studio.

"From the start of the game to the 18th minute, Liverpool at home was scored by Spanish international Torres, which is a bit dangerous for Chelsea, even if Chelsea faces Liverpool this season is three consecutive kills, but the league and League Cup competitions are simply not comparable to the Champions League, whether it is the level of investment or attention, it is not a level of competition, and the results of the two sides naturally cannot refer to the three games of this season......"

"Oh? Jose Mourinho called his top scorer to his side, is this about to change the team's attack? ”

"So far in the game, Chelsea's threatening attacks have only been a handful, while Liverpool, who are playing at home, have scored a goal in a quick counter-attacking way to rewrite the score to 1:0, so Mourinho also has some ideas about the attack on the field, so he called Ai to his side to teach the opportunity, so as to change the attacking single ...... on the field"

Indeed, Chelsea's attack in the first 20 minutes was a little monotonous, and it was Torres who seized the opportunity to score a goal, and if Chelsea want to turn the defeat around, then Ielo must step up and contact the current crisis for the team!
