"After a 15-minute break, the Red Rebels seemed to be proactive at the start of the second half. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Mourinho made adjustments in midfield, in addition to replacing the physical Robben with Mikel, but also moving Kaka's position forward, allowing the Brazilian to swim next to Drogba, and Ronaldo Jr. also strengthened the connection with Drogba and united to contain Liverpool's backline."

After the start of the second half, the tactical intentions of both sides were clearly displayed in front of the fans. Gray quickly saw the tactical intentions of both sides.

It should be said that Benitez was still very satisfied with the team's suppression in the first half, so he did not make too many adjustments in the second half, but only gave Gerrard more freedom in the offensive end, after all, Liverpool was the best player in the first half, in which he had two good chances to score, but Cech performed well.

'In midfield, in the face of Liverpool's pressing, Mourinho let Essien press forward and took full advantage of the Ghanaian's speed and fitness, and he limited the back of Alonso and Hamann, with Mikel at the back to make full use of the Nigerian's excellent lateral interception and running ability.

Martin? Taylor was looking forward to the adjustments the Red Rebels were making.

"Essien, a player who has both offense and defense, is very versatile, is praised as a buffalo by Red Rebels fans, known as a monster by opponents, and De Rossi is known as the two big backs in the Red Rebels, and the competition and rotation of the two are also a guarantee of the Red Rebels' results."

"There are a lot of people who say that the Red Rebels have two of the best midfielders in the world, and many professionals believe that if the current trend continues, De Rossi and Essien will be the best sooner or later, especially as the likes of Makelele and Vieira get older, and with Keane on the verge of retirement, their rise is a matter of time."

"Mourinho let the Ghanaians press forward, the purpose is very clear, that is, to Essien to limit Alonso and Hamann, plus Mikel and Beckham behind him, to comprehensively disrupt Liverpool's midfield layout, and at the same time, Essien's speed and strong ability to advance with the ball can effectively impact Liverpool's defense, force them to make mistakes, and give Drogba enough help!"

Sure enough, in Martin? As soon as Taylor finished speaking, Essien cut off Hamann's foot in a beautiful lateral interception, but couldn't find a chance and had to choose to knock it back to Mikel.

The Red Rebels' offensive slowed down immediately, but slowly moved towards Liverpool.

After a few combinations, the ball came to the feet of Essien again, he took the ball at the edge of the penalty area, leaned on Hamann with his body, and crossed to Kaka, who cut inside and received the ball in the air, who stopped the ball and plugged it through, and the whole action was done in one go, with indescribable elegance.

Drogba and Hyypia reacted almost at the same time, but the latter failed to start under Drogba's body, coupled with his slow speed, he was quickly squeezed out of position by Drogba, and faced the goal directly after receiving the ball.

Reina reacted quickly in the face of Drogba's shot, but the latter's shot was so powerful that Reina couldn't make a save, so he could only watch the ball go into the net, 0:2!

"Beautiful, a beautiful central combination, Kaka in the front of the penalty area with a straight kick, Drogba scored with a single knife, the whole process is extremely fast, Hyypia looks so old and weak in front of the strong Drogba, he was even easily pushed away!"

Andy? Gray couldn't help but exclaim after Drogba's goal.

It was definitely one of the most demoralizing goals, especially when Liverpool took the initiative to attack, and the Red Rebels' goal undoubtedly cast a shadow over Liverpool.

'Look at Didier Drogba, who scored the crucial goal, as he raced all over the pitch with excitement as the Red Rebels scored with their first shot on goal in the second half, and they used their tenacious fighting spirit and efficiency to score twice in a game that was not dominant.

Jose Mourinho kept signaling the players to retreat on the sidelines, don't get too excited, especially the people in front of them, you have to stay calm and continue to put pressure on Liverpool.

A two-goal lead would have given Mourinho peace of mind against another team, but against Liverpool, the Portuguese madman would not have taken it lightly, knowing full well that this is a resilient team who are more than qualified to come back from a two-goal deficit.

As Liverpool's opponent, Mourinho's task is to completely stifle the hope of a comeback in the cradle.

…………………… The Red Rebels, who had extended the scoreline, looked scrappy, especially the players on the pitch, who were particularly excited, remembering Mourinho's half-time set-up, with Kaka and Ronaldo on the flanks, Didier Drogba pestering Hyypia, Essien in charge of Alonso and Hamann, and David Beckham and Mikel behind them joining forces to protect the defence and freeze Aymar.

From this set of tactics, the Red Rebels undoubtedly did a great job, especially Mikel's play, which re-injected a touch of intensity into the Red Rebels' midfield, and when his teammates were exhausted, Mikel became the most important iron gate in the midfield, firmly protecting the stability of the backline.

Another player to be overlooked was Patrice Evra, who dealt with the striking Steven Gerrard on the left, but the Frenchman gritted his teeth and was definitely the best and most exciting player for Liverpool in the game.

Some people say that Gerrard is the spiritual symbol of Liverpool, and this spiritual symbol is not very obvious when the team is dominant, but once the team is behind and in trouble, Gerrard's role is completely highlighted.

As early as the first half, when the Red Rebels were ahead, Gerrard continued to threaten the Red Rebels, especially his close-range shot in the penalty area, if it wasn't for Cech saving the ball like a god, I am afraid the situation would have been different.

Gerrard was everywhere after the start of the second half, attacking on the right and moving to the centre and then to the left, where he made it difficult for the Red Rebels to defend and took a couple of chances, but either his team-mates failed to convert into goals or Cech excelled.

As the clock ticked by, Liverpool still had the advantage on the pitch, but they were unable to score for a long time, and Cisse was completely defeated by the combined defence of Vidic and Curtis.

In the 57th minute, Beckham cramped, and the team doctor rushed into the field to observe his condition, although there was no major problem, but for the sake of safety, he still could not continue to stay on the field to play.

Mourinho had a cold face on the sidelines, he looked at the bench behind him, and pointed to Michael? Johnson.

"Go up after hitting David's position, remember, and John? Obi? Mikel keeps his distance and controls Aimar! ”

Michael? Johnson nodded in agreement, ran to the sideline to warm up casually, and waited for a substitution.

Beckham hurriedly took off the captain's armband on his arm, ran a few steps, and walked in front of Curtis.

At this time, the focus of the audience was focused on Beckham and Curtis, only to see Beckham personally put on the captain's armband for Curtis, and then hugged him cordially, leaned into his ear and said something, and then patted his captain's armband hard, and the latter nodded solemnly!

"Some people say that Curtis was beaten into the cold by Mourinho, and the explanations of both sides have not been convincing before, but as long as you have seen this scene, I believe that the rumors will be self-defeating, who said that Curtis is clamoring for a transfer? Who said Curtis was beaten into the cold? ”

Andy? Gray couldn't help but laugh, Martin? Taylor, as a Red Rebels fan, was obviously hurt by the recent speculation about Curtis's transfer and held his breath, and now he is venting.

"Jose Mourinho is undoubtedly a manager who is very good at coaching players and bringing out the potential and fighting spirit of players, and I have always believed that the ban on Curtis and the stripping of his captain's armband are just a manifestation of Mourinho's fighting spirit."

"In the last few games, Curtis's performance has improved for all to see, and his partnership with Vidic in this game is even more obvious, he seems very calm, not impatient, Beckham gave him the captain's armband after he got off the field, he must have wanted to tell him, don't forget your responsibility!"

Speaking of which, Andy? Gray couldn't help but glance at Gerald appreciatively.

"The captain of a team often represents the temperament of the team, the Red Rebels' David Beckham, Manchester United's Keane, Liverpool's Steven Gerrard, Arsenal's Patrick Vieira, Chelsea's Frank Lampard, among which Beckham's style of play is the weakest, but he uses conscientious performance and hard work on the pitch to interpret his understanding of captain's responsibility."

"Terry and Curtis are the ideal successors to the next captain of the Red Rebels, both of them have served as vice-captains for many years, and their performances have always been very satisfactory, and even the players in the team such as Kaka and Xiao Xiaoluo are very convinced of them, and at the same time, they also interpret the spirit and temperament of the Red Rebels very well!"

"Many people say that the Premier League likes to promote heroism the most, so they often like to call a certain team who is the team, or call a certain period of time the era of someone, but if you want to interpret the Red Rebels, I believe that after today's game, no one will say whose team the Red Rebels are, but only that this is a team that belongs to everyone!"

"Mourinho and Benitez's command and adjustment in this game are not too problematic, but the score of 0:2 is not wrong with Benitez, he did not lose to Mourinho, but he lost to the bench players of the Red Rebels, and the will to fight of the Red Rebels players!"

"With Mikel, the Red Rebels' midfield was suppressed, but Benitez knew that Hyypia was injured and in poor condition, but he couldn't replace him, because he knew very well that the 17-year-old Roque on the bench might be worse than Hyypia, especially in the face of the powerful Red Rebels, where the pressure on young people is greater!"

…………………… After Beckham went off, the forward combination of Drogba, Essien, Kaka and Ronaldo found a couple of good chances, with Drogba in the 66th minute facing Hyypia with an unbelievable backheel pass, Hyypia was eaten hard, who passed diagonally to Ronaldo on the left, but the Portuguese's follow-up shot was raised by Gerrard.

Although he failed to score, Drogba's performance drew cheers from the Red Rebels fans in attendance.

The Ivorian elephant king, who was known as the rough brother in the past, is now more and more technical, and his first-class physical fitness is now getting better and better, especially the observation and use of the surrounding situation, which fully reflects his strength as a super-first-class center forward.

This is also in line with the coaching staff's plan for him, after all, with the increase of age, the physical function is bound to decline, and Drogba can no longer use his physical advantage to impact the opponent's defense as he did when he was young, and strengthening the ability to stop the ball can allow Drogba to achieve transformation and greatly extend his playing career.

Perhaps seeing Hyypia's weakness against Didier Drogba, Benitez ultimately decided to replace him with Pongele and bring on Riyce to play centre-back instead of Traore, for the simple reason that the latter was equally poor throughout the game.

Seeing Benitez make adjustments, Mourinho made another substitution, this time replacing the reasonably good Ronaldo with teenager Theo Walcott, and the England youngster attacked on the left flank, using his speed and impact to harass Liverpool's backline.

'It was clear that Benitez was very disappointed with Hyypia's performance in this game and would rather let Reese play at centre-back than keep him on the pitch. Andy? Gray couldn't help but sigh.

The football stadium has always been a cruel gladiatorial arena where the new people laugh and the old people cry, there is only cruelty, there is no mercy, Hyypia is old, his physical function has declined, and he has a little injury on his body, which can be the reason for his poor performance, and it is indeed sympathetic, but it cannot prevent him from becoming a sinner of the team.

To put it bluntly, professional football is so cruel!

"What if Benitez really got Daniel during the winter break? Agger, who may be waiting for Hyypia, will be on the bench, but judging from this game, he has not been able to limit Drogba very well, if Liverpool have suppressed the Red Rebels in midfield, then in the forward line and at the back, they are thin. ”

This is exactly what Benitez wants to change, but is not able to change for the time being!

With the substitutions of the two sides, the Red Rebels began to consciously delay the game and slow down the tempo, after all, the team is not as physical as Liverpool, and with two goals in hand, it is also a combat strategy to be based on defense.

Gerrard was obviously unwilling to lose at home, and he desperately launched attacks again and again, but the Red Rebels had an interesting retreat, and Liverpool never managed to break through the Red Rebels' goal.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the Red Rebels collapsed on the pitch one by one, and they were all greatly relieved, and they were particularly satisfied with their best efforts, and the team they played for won three points.

Liverpool have 10,000 reasons not to be convinced by the outcome of the game, but they can't change anything, that's football!

Gerrard took the initiative to find Vidic, and the two exchanged jerseys, apparently the previous shoe-shine collision left a deep impression on Gerrard's heart.

"The Red Rebels are a respectable opponent, and although they are sad, they deserve this victory!" In a post-match media interview, Gerrard took the rare initiative to praise his opponent.

It's a game with no losers!
