"I have to say that Iroh's goal in the first half of the five people is very exciting, in the Premier League competitions can really see this kind of astonishing several people break the goal, the Premier League game is too focused on physical confrontation, so that the attacker does not have enough space to live, so many times the attacking player will be put to the ground when he breaks through to the third......"

Taking advantage of the half-time break, Zhan Jun replayed the TV replay with the fans watching the TV to reflect on Elo's goal: "It can be said that in the Premier League, there are five people in a row, and then the ball is unattainable, if nothing else, then this goal will likely become the best goal of the season!" ”

The commentators from all over the world were analysing the first half of the game for fifteen minutes in midfield, but players from both sides were exposed to the manager's blow-up in the dressing room.

In the dressing room, Jose Mourinho first praised Elo's brilliant first-half equaliser before mentioning the goal he conceded.

He prefers 0:0 to 1:1

Ben Haim, who was put in the starting line-up by Jose Mourinho for this game, had his head almost pressed against his chest because he felt he had failed Mourinho's expectations.

'Our opponents conceded a goal in a row at home and we believe they will definitely increase the tempo of the attack in the second half, so we have to defend the back first and then wait for the opportunity to attack!' Mourinho said this, paused, and then looked at Drogba: "Didier, in the second half you run more and help the midfield defend. ”

Then he turned his head to look at Iro, "Ai, your task is the easiest, but it is also the most important, that is, to seize the opportunity to fight back and smash the Yellow Dragon!" At the same time, Mourinho took the pen and drew a red arrow between the middle circle and the Liverpool goal: "Let the damn Liverpudlians accept the fact of defeat on their home turf!! ”

"Hmm!" Iroh nodded firmly.

……

The atmosphere in the home dressing room was heavy, clearly influenced by Elo's stunning first-half strike.

Benitez looked up at the twelve players in front of him.

That's right, it's twelve, because Benitez was ready to make a personnel change at the start of the second half, replacing Pennant, a small full-back, with Mascherano to strengthen the control of Iro, who he knew from last season's Champions League semi-finals.

Therefore, the most fundamental condition for winning the game at home is to limit Ailo perfectly, as for this defensive task of limiting Ailo, Benitez still thinks it would be better to leave it to Mascherano to complete, because he did a very good job in the semi-finals of the Champions League last season.

Although the replacement of Mascherano to defend Ailo full-time will certainly lead to a decrease in the team's offensive ability, the overall attack and defense will become balanced, and the defense can also be guaranteed to be worry-free when attacking.

"Javier, although your task is very simple, but at the same time it is the most arduous, because your task is to give me the perfect limit on that Chinese, I believe that after the two-legged battle last season, you should know him very well, don't be distracted like last season's Champions League semi-final, this game is very important for us!"

Benitez said meaningfully to Mascherano.

In order to be able to gain a foothold in the giants, Mascherano also knew that he had to prove his strength in order to get better opportunities, so he nodded repeatedly.

Then he fell into his own contemplation.

※※※

The fifteen-minute break passed quickly, but the stands at Anfield Stadium looked empty, of course, this was not an early exit of the fans, but after 45 minutes of refueling in the first half, a lot of energy was consumed, so it was urgent to take advantage of the halftime break to buy some hamburgers and Cokes outside the stadium to increase energy, so as to be able to continue to cheer for the team they supported in the second half.

Many live TV stations also began to receive signals from Anfield at this time, and players from both sides of the game slowly entered the field, jogging, walking, and of course chatting, so as to ensure that the mood was good and that the rest of the game was in shape.

For Liverpool's first substitution adjustment, Mourinho frowned, in his expectation, according to Benitez's style should strengthen the attack, but at the beginning of the second half, he replaced a back midfielder, which ......

Is it to restrain Ai?

That's right, Benitez made this substitution to limit Iroh.

Liverpool kicked off first in the second half, and after a couple of passes, Carragher had to kick the ball forward under pressure from Drogba, Terry pushed Torres forward and Frank Lampard fended Gerrard and flicked the ball past Mikel.

Mikel flicked the ball sideways past Xavi Alonso's tackle and then passed it to the feet of Iello who retreated.

Watching Ielo retreat to get the ball, Mascherano sped up and rushed over.

Although Iroh didn't look back to observe the situation behind him, his excellent awareness was enough to have a general understanding of his neighborhood, facing the football passed by Mikel, his body had a feint to take the ball to the right and turn around, and Mascherano, who accelerated to grab it, took a step to the right, seized the time, used his right foot, and walked the ball to the left side of his body with the outside of his left instep.

That is, feints + even stopped.

If it was normal, he would have been wandered by Iro, but Mascherano was not for a normal tackle at all, he was just for a dismount, and kicked his left foot at Iroh's supporting foot.

Then the referee's whistle blew.

The referee on duty did not say anything about the foul near midfield, and did not even give Mascherano a warning.

Mourinho, who was standing in front of the visiting team's coach's box, couldn't stand it, where did Mascherano's behavior look like a defensive move just now? It's all about going for people!

It's okay if the referee doesn't give you a yellow card, so why didn't you even give a warning?

However, under the persuasion of the fourth officer, he returned to his command area and continued to chatter.

※※※

Iroh rubbed the heel of his left foot, and glanced up at Mascherano who had just fouled, although it didn't lead him to injury, but it hurt very much.

"Are you alright?" Frank Lampard crouched down and asked Elo.

"It's fine!" Iroh came back to his senses, "It's just a little painful!" Mishap! ”

"That's good!"

As the game continued, as Mascherano got into the game, Iroh was basically limited by him and had no way to calmly control the ball, not to mention shots and breakthroughs, and could only use set-piece opportunities to create killings.

Benitez looked at the situation on the field, his heart was extremely calm, it seems that this substitution adjustment is really very timely, as long as Iroh is restricted, the threat of Drogba and Malouda will plummet, and it should not be a problem to win the game.

"Mascherano's defence is at the top of the Premier League, his defense made it impossible for Iello to find a decent chance in the second half, and indirectly helped Liverpool play two quick counter-attacks, if it weren't for the concentration of Chelsea captain John Terry's defence, otherwise the score on the pitch would have changed again......"

The game at Anfield continued, and Zhan Jun took advantage of the stalemate of the game to feel the feeling.

In order to get a chance, Iroh did not hesitate to run erratically in the front court, but Mascherano, who was replaced in the second half, was more energetic and would follow him wherever he went.

Therefore, in the face of the manager's super tactical execution of Mascherano, Iello has no good way to do it, and can only continue to use his interspersed runs to find opportunities.

During this period of the game, both sides were looking for opportunities, but because of the defensive strength of their respective defenders, they did not give the opposing striker too good a chance, and in the blink of an eye, the game time reached the 65th minute, which means that there are only 25 minutes left in the regular time of the game, and if injury time is included, it will be 28 minutes at most.

Therefore, the director of Anfield Stadium took advantage of the dead ball to frequently give the camera to the warm-up area to see if the two sides of the game should make personnel adjustments.

※※※

Mourinho turned his head to look at the players in the warm-up area and found that there was no personnel to adjust, although Malouda's attacking ability was not as good as Kalu's, but his enthusiasm was not possessed by the Ivorians, whether it was offensive or defensive, it was leaky.

As for Drogba, he is even more deterrent, not only can he be used as an offensive fulcrum in the front court, but also can make balls for his teammates, and his ability to seize opportunities in front of goal is also super strong.

And Iroh is not in the ranks of substitution adjustments, the transfer fee of 60 million pounds is not a small amount of money, in other words, every minute that Iroh is on the field, it indirectly helps Abramovich's investment to reduce by one point.

The three in midfield also do not need to be adjusted for the time being.

Of course, waiting for the elderly Makelle to be physically exhausted will be counted separately.

'It's more than halfway through the second half, but Ai has disappeared in that time, which can be said to be his first crisis since landing in the Premier League, if he can't find opportunities in the next time, then other Premier League teams will follow suit, and then the time will ...... It's hard to move an inch! Andy Gray, with years of experience in commentary, said worriedly.

Iello took the ball on the left side and made continuous feints to shake off the angle and prepare to hit the goal, but Mascherano was reluctant to cling to him, and he didn't have the opportunity to get up easily. Shot directly into the second-floor stands.

Seeing Iello shoot the ball into the second floor of the stands, how could the Liverpool fans playing at home let go of such an opportunity? There was a burst of laughter.

Iro, who had completed the shot, didn't care about the laughter from the opening stage, but turned his head to look at Mascherano, who looked very relaxed and subconsciously clenched his fists, unwilling!

Actually, Mascherano is not much less pressing than Aillo, and from a defender's point of view, he is much more pressing than attacking Aillo.

Because the offensive players are actively seeking changes, and the defenders need to follow the offensive players to change, that is to say, the defenders are more mental and physical than the offensive players, especially the very good offensive players like Iello who combine people and balls, which makes the defenders feel Alexander.
