When it comes to this season's UEFA Champions League, the two most favored teams to win the championship are Chelsea and Juventus coached by Capello.

A common trait between these two teams is that they are very tight defensively, even almost unbreakable.

After Capello moved from Roma to Juventus this season, he took Zebina, Panucci and Cassano from Roma, and at the same time, Capello pushed for the introduction of stars such as Cannavaro and Ibrahimseivic.

It is precisely this group of stars, especially Zerbina, Cannavaro and Panucci, together with Thuram in the Juventus squad, that make up Juventus' almost flawless backline this season.

Yes, even better than Chelsea, as there are a number of flaws in the Blues' backline, with only one ...... But neither Pacos Ferreira nor Bridge are reassuring full-backs, so there will always be one side to worry about.

But the Blues' midfield is indeed stronger than Juventus', with more stars and more quality.

Juventus' midfield relies on defensive players such as Tacinati, Appiah and Blasi, plus Cassano and Camoranesi on the wings, and especially the latter, the most popular player in Serie A this season, if not one of them, while Ibrahimovic, Trezeguet, Salayeta and Piero are in front.

If Chelsea's defence relied on the quality of their players and their ability to work together as a team, then Juventus relied on a rigorous, quintessentially Italian defensive system.

It's hard to say who is better and who is worse between the two teams, but they are both outstanding.

In addition to these two favourites, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, Manchester United and Liverpool are also very favorites, as for VC Milan, there are always many problems, although Kaka and Shevchenko are in the team, but the lack of a midfield organizer and the lack of a defensive core have made the attention of the Rossoneri somewhat discounted.

Speaking of which, this should be regarded as some changes brought about by Yang Cheng, after all, Nesta, Emerson and Pirlo are now in Inter Milan, and VC Milan's later central axis is halfway there, and there is no temporary replacement, so the strength is naturally greatly reduced.

The same goes for Chelsea.

After Mourinho came to Chelsea in the previous life, he moved Frank Lampard, who was at the back of the Ranieri period, to the front midfield, which completely created Lampard's peak period, but now, Chelsea has lost the wing weapon and Drogba, the fulcrum of the front, Lampard's role is not so obvious, and the goals have been sharply reduced a lot, not to mention, and he has taken on more defensive tasks.

Against Liverpool, he didn't look like a midfielder from Frank Lampard and was a yellow card for defending Carrick.

But Liverpool have also struggled to break down Chelsea's defence.

Yang Cheng's team pays attention to running, passing and receiving coordination, focusing on technique and one-on-one, but all of this has a very, very small effect in the face of Chelsea, which is beginning to shrink, because Mourinho's team stands on a tight three-way line, leaving almost no space for Liverpool to use.

Time passed little by little, Chelsea was like a broken machine, breaking Liverpool's attack again and again, counterattacking when it found an opportunity, and continuing to defend if it couldn't be found, very rigid and unchanged, but very effective.

Even when the clock jumped to the minute, Mourinho still didn't move.

No substitutions, no adjustments, no changes!

Surprisingly, Yang Cheng did not make adjustments at halftime, and he still allowed Liverpool's players to attack, just reminding them from time to time not to be too impatient, not to press too closely, after all, Robinho and Duff's several counterattacks have created a threat.

In this case, the game seems to have become a stalemate.

"At this point, there is not much that the coaches of both sides can do, the key is to see the performance of the players, and both sides obviously lack the top superstars like Ronaldo and Ronaldinho who can change the game alone at critical moments."

"This makes the game completely a confrontation of pure will and pure fighting spirit, and whoever has a stronger desire to win will be more likely to win this game."

'But a 0-0 draw would undoubtedly put Chelsea in a relatively good position as they play the second leg at Stamford Bridge and will be in good hopes of progressing from the knockout stages as long as they can secure a win at home to Liverpool. ,

"From that point of view, it's a really good result."

"However, will Yang Cheng be satisfied with just 0:0?" The on-site commentator felt that this was not like Yang Cheng's character.

"Oh, we saw that Liverpool was going to make a substitution, Yang Cheng kept telling Larsson on the sidelines, it seems that he is going to replace the Swedish striker, who is he going to replace? Substitution? Or is it going to be tougher to attack? ”

When Yang Cheng decided to make a substitution, the entire Anfield stadium suddenly resounded with a burst of enthusiastic cheers, and all the fans hoped to see the coach come up with a way to break the stalemate on the field.

"It's Essien!" The on-site commentator exclaimed, "Liverpool continues to strengthen the attack, Yang Cheng boldly replaced the midfield defender Mike Gaesin with Larsson, which is a very positive signal to strengthen the team's attack!" ”

The KOPs in the stands applauded excitedly, they were all using their own actions to support their main coach, we want to win, we don't want a draw, we want to win, we want to win!

The team song "You Never Walk Alone" sounded again at Anfield Stadium, and all the Liverpool fans sang excitedly.

They're not the head coach, they're not the players, they can only show their support for the team in this way.

"Sure enough, it is a very Yang Cheng-style substitution, he will never be willing to settle for a draw, this is Caesar, this is the admirable Yang Cheng, although such a substitution may lead to Liverpool losing, but his substitution makes people see his tireless pursuit of offensive football."

"I believe that at this moment, there will be countless fans who are worried about Yang Cheng's substitution, but they will all admire his courage at this moment, at least not everyone dares to make such a substitution in this situation!"

After the substitution, Liverpool can't retract, because if the midfield loses Essien, it loses the biggest defensive strength, and if you retract it, it's equivalent to giving Chelsea a chance, which is fatal for Liverpool.

Conversely, if Liverpool continue to press Chelsea, although it is possible that they will be counterattacked, at least they will not collapse.

It's a gamble, and it's an adventure!

"He's crazy, he must be crazy!"

At the Anfield Stadium in the business room, Abu shouted out this gaffe.

Although his tone seemed to be blaming Yang Qian, in fact, only those who knew him could understand that he was worried, worried that Yang Cheng's substitution would beat his team again.

Kenyon and Zahawi looked at each other with a wry smile, because they both didn't understand why Abu was staring at Yang Cheng? Why didn't he want to think about it, Mourinho is the head coach of Chelsea!

"Can we hold it?" It took a while for Abu to ask a question that would be very frustrating to the team if it was passed out, because his words were clearly a sign of weakness.

"Theoretically, Jose's overall defensive system is almost perfect, and if he wants to defend, Liverpool can't break it at all!" Zahavi analyzed that as an agent, he still knows a little bit about tactics.

Of course, this is only theoretical.

After Abu listened, he couldn't help but feel a lot relieved to see Yang Cheng who was standing on the sidelines and directing the game, he seemed to see two words on the face of the chalk people, unwilling and helpless.

"Is there still a chance to win?" Abu asked again.

Zahavi secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, how could this person be so unsatisfied?

But he didn't dare to answer Abu directly like this on the surface, unless he didn't want to continue to hook up with the Russians, so he smiled and said optimistically: "Theoretically, there is still a chance, Yang Cheng's substitution is too risky, especially after both wings are involved in the attack, once he is beaten out of the counterattack ......"

Zahavi was immediately in a breathtaking change on the pitch.

Seeing Liverpool attacking, Carrick's overhead pass went straight to Drogba, but Terry got ahead of the Ivorians and cleared the ball with a header.

The ball fell to Frank Lampard, but Gerrard was the first to stick to it and not give Lampard a chance to turn.

But Lampard didn't turn around, and after stopping the ball, he cleared the ball vigorously and kicked it in the direction of Liverpool.

This kick was a clearance, not a purposeful pass at all, but Duff used his speed in Lidi to desperately catch up with this pass, and Hyypia and Carragher chased back desperately behind him. ,

Liverpool's two centre-backs were both quick to follow up and did a good job of dividing the game, with Hyypia taped to Duff and Carragher ready behind him to help up.

However, they ignored Robinho, who was quick to cut in on the left.

"It's dangerous, Liverpool's right side has no one to defend Robinho, Duff faces Hyypia, passes, Robinho catches the ball, forming a one-handed ......"

Throughout the Anfield Stadium, countless Liverpool fans couldn't help but rush out of their seats, staring at the goal guarded by Reina, but the Spaniard stared at Robinho.

Duff's cross went past Hyypia and Carragher to Robinho's feet, but the Brazilian was right-footed and Mourinho used him to cut inside with his backfoot, while he was best at hitting the goal with his right foot.

It was because the right-footed shot was more powerful and angled, so Robinho chose to stop the ball with his left foot in the face of Dada's pass, Daf's incoming ball was a little too fast, grazing the turf, with a fierce spin, Robinho stopped the ball in a little hurry, and stopped a little bigger.

Reyna made a judgment almost instinctively, because the stop was slightly larger, and Robinho had to adjust if he wanted to hit the right part and send out force, so he chose to fly out at the first time.

The Spanish goalkeeper's judgment was very accurate, Robinho stopped the ball a little bigger, and some inaccurate parts had to be adjusted, but when he adjusted, he found that Reina had already saved.

The powerful volley went towards Reina, but the Spanish goalkeeper stared at his feet without the slightest panic, predicted his contact position, fell directly to the ground, stretched out his hands, and hugged his volley directly!

The on-site commentator of "GOALLLLLLL......" couldn't wait to send out a long note of the goal, but when he reacted that something was wrong, it was too late, so he immediately made adjustments, and his reaction speed was not lost to Reina, "Great save, Reina saved Robinho's single knife!" ”

At the business table, Abramovich, who had already rushed out of his seat and was about to celebrate, stood there stunned at this moment, looking at Robinho, who was also stunned after the shot, and then looked at Duff, who fell to the ground after passing the ball in the distance, and is now slamming the grass.

"What's going on with his mother?" Abu had a feeling that he had been toyed with.

On the contrary, the Liverpool fans at Anfield Stadium burst into an incomparably enthusiastic cheer, and the shouts of Rena Rena and the like continued for a year, and at this moment, the god of Sicarga completely conquered Anfield Stadium. BU

Mourinho, who rushed out of the coach's seat just now, was also walking back to the coach's seat at this moment, and everyone could see that there was two words depressed written on his face.

Such a single knife can also be not

But even more ironically, Reyna got up from the ground and gave Robinho a thumbs up with a smile.

"He's supposed to be sharp, hey, Robinho, you're pretty one-handed passes!" The on-site narrator laughed and teased.

'It was definitely the best chance Chelsea have ever had to score in the game, and maybe even the last chance of the game, but Robinho let it go so easily, it's a shame!'

"If this goal had gone in, it would have been a completely different situation!"

This truth does not need to be a live commentator, everyone knows it very well.

After Reina saved Robinho's one-on-one ball, Yang Cheng's first reaction was surprise, but the second reaction was to attack.

"It's a very good time to attack!" Yang Cheng immediately shouted excitedly.

Both Bayer and Benitez were a little dumbfounded, both feeling incredulous, their own team had just escaped and was almost pierced by Chelsea's counterattack, but this guy is not reflecting at this moment but is still shouting excitedly to attack?

If he wasn't Yang Cheng, he would definitely be scolded for being a stupid fool!

"Don't you think?" Yang Cheng asked rhetorically.

'Listen to the shouts of the Liverpool fans, we just stopped a Chelsea attack that was on the verge and it proves that the balance of victory is still tilted in our favor!'

Speaking of this, Yang Cheng rushed directly to the sidelines and shouted at the players on the field, waving his arms vigorously. , "Attack, give me attack!! ”

Reyna immediately flicked the ball to Finnan who came back from the right, and Chelsea immediately set up a rush up front.

Finnan took the ball with his back and turned around, Frank Lampard pressed over, obviously hoping to have a chance to break the ball in front, play another counterattack, strike while the iron is hot, and beat Liverpool in one fell swoop, but as soon as Finnan saw Lampard leaning over, he immediately knocked the ball sideways.

Carrick also ran into the open space after Frank Lampard ran to Finnan, and as soon as Finnan passed the ball, Maniche pressed Carrick because he couldn't let Carrick play a long pass and launch a fast attack.

You know, Chelsea is pressing in front at this moment, and the three fast horses in front of Liverpool, once they rush up, who can stop them?

Carrick didn't stick to the ball, and as soon as the ball reached his feet, it immediately passed straight behind Maniche.

Steven Gerrard ducked back to meet him, took the ball, turned sideways and played a diagonal pass to Arjen Robben on the right.

The Dutchman had his back to Bridge, and the England full-back was desperate to stand up to him, but Robben squeezed hard with his body to fight for some space, and after seeing the incoming ball, he reached forward with his left foot and stopped the ball on the right side of Bridge.

Bridge is a left-footed player, his right foot can only play a supporting role, the ball stopped on his right side, he can only watch the ball slide past his feet, and he wants to stop it with his feet, but he finds that his right foot supports his body, and he can't do this simple action at all.

Robben had a great unloading force, the ball went past Bridge, along the sideline to the left baseline, and he himself quickly got rid of Bridge after completing this beautiful stop, and with an acceleration, he pulled out the gap with the England full-back.

"Beautiful man-ball pass, Robben made a beautiful man-ball pass on the right side, Bridges was like a stake, Robben easily got rid of it, Liverpool played a quick counter-attack!" The on-site narrator shouted excitedly.

I saw Robben follow the wind on the right side, rushing past the fans on the edge of the stands, and in the area he passed, the fans all stood up in unison, and before they even had time to shout, they saw the Dutchman rush over.

Liverpool's front trident was advancing too fast, and with the addition of one Larsson, a full four players were pushing forward, and Larsson, after seeing Robben on the right side of the box, was clearly going to cut inside with the ball, so he chose to run over to meet it.

However, Carvalho's retreat was also very fast, blocking Robben's route into the penalty area in time, and the Dutchman could only go back to the baseline, but he used his speed to cleverly bring the ball to the middle of Carvalho and Bridge, who was in place.

In the penalty area, Drogba squeezed hard at Terry, who was blocking him, and they were engaged in the most primitive physical confrontation at the front point, but Xiao Xiaoluo on the left side was not marked, because Ferreira could not catch up with his fellow slender.

Robben also saw little Luo raise his right hand, and he also noticed that Makelele was also back in the box, and he wanted to hit the goal, not only to get rid of Carvalho and Bridge, but also to make adjustments, which was very unfeasible.

Therefore, after seeing Xiao Xiao Luo raise his hand, he accelerated, got rid of Carvalho and Bridge, and directly knocked the ball cross, passing behind Terry, in front of Makelele, and passed in front of Xiao Xiao Luo who was inserted on the left side.

At this time, the hands of the Portuguese had not yet been lowered.

Cech was on the right side of the goal, apparently defending Robben and it was too late to get back into his position.

With Ferreira behind, Makelle and Terry were too late, especially the latter, who had originally kept Drogba behind to defend, but now, this position has become the biggest obstacle to his defense.

In the face of this almost empty goal, Xiao Xiaoluo directly shot ....... ）
