Chapter 121: Liverpool who wants to fight back

"2:1, the first half of the game is over. Liverpool scored a goal first, a long-range lob from Guò, a penalty, and Remaier scored twice, almost single-handedly helping the disadvantaged Chelsea to overtake the score. Liverpool, on the other hand, were very impatient after Remaia scored the equaliser's long-range lob shot, and they had no goal to score, but not only did they appear to be efficient in attack, but also allowed Chelsea to launch threatening counter-attacks frequently. Among them, Chelsea's penalty opportunity was won by a quick counter-attack.

For a final, the first half with three goals was good enough, not to mention Remaia's classic long-range lob that could be included in the museum, a goal that reminded me of David Beckham's famous work. The difference of one goal is not enough to make this game out of suspense. Although Chelsea are 2-1 up, once Liverpool can recover in the second half, I think there will be a lot of suspense in this Carabao Cup final, you must know that there is no shortage of comebacks in Liverpool's history. ……”

After the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, Lineker began to sum up the first half of the game and analyze the situation in the second half. At this time, although his tone was calm, his heart was turbulent. "Liverpool, it's dead!" The words of his old partner, Ali Hansen, shocked Lineker very much. He didn't expect that as a famous player of Liverpool and an old partner who has always been optimistic about Liverpool's prospects in the League Cup final, he would say such earth-shattering words just after the end of the first half.

But after thinking about it, Lineker agreed with Ali Hansen's comment in his heart. Because recalling the game after Lao Lei scored the equalizing goal in the first half. Lineker found that Liverpool at that time was not a normal Liverpool. They appear far more restless than usual, impulsive and even irrational. And that's it. The main reason why Liverpool were so wolf on the pitch after Chelsea's equaliser.

As for why this is so? Lineker thought of only two words for the reason, pressure. In the course of the two league meetings between the two teams this season, Liverpool lost the game in a humiliating gesture. This situation has begun to make Lao Lei's "arrogant and ignorant" "Liverpool No Crown Declaration" have supporters and markets, and many people are even waiting to see the big joke of the century-old giant Liverpool.

In such a situation, the ridicule and doubts from the outside world, the rebuke and pressure from the club's top management, and the criticism and dissatisfaction of Liverpool fans have brought great pressure to the current Liverpool team. So big that every time they touched Chelsea, their nerves tensed and there was only one thought left in their minds: 'Gotta win!' This kind of idea of winning is not the kind of "only I am invincible" of soldiers on the battlefield when they are in a surprise attack, but more like the kind that has stood on the edge of a cliff and wants to die and be reborn. In a way, it can even be said that beating Chelsea is a hard task for the current Liverpool players.

And this psychological pressure is even increased to the extreme when the two teams are playing each other in the League Cup final. If we talk about Terry's own goal. can be regarded as covering up such psychological pressure, and Lao Lei's exquisite ultra-long lob shot completely detonated the psychological bomb in the hearts of Liverpool players. Among them, even Gerald, who is known for his strong psychological qualities, is not immune. The captain's armband on his arm weighed on his heart like a mountain.

In such a situation, Liverpool in the late first half of the table xiàn. Such an abnormality and unbearable can be regarded as reasonable. One could even say that. Liverpool beat themselves out, while Chelsea and Lao Lei just added strength. So. Ali Hansen's words are not difficult to understand. When Liverpool will go out of shape and lose their temper due to pressure, Liverpool is indeed "dead", because it has lost the iron-blooded tradition that Liverpool is proud of, at least in front of Ray and Chelsea.

At this time, in the Liverpool dressing room, the confused silence became the protagonist, and all the Liverpool players sat blankly, losing their vitality and spirit. Seeing the situation of the team, Benitez, who was disappointed in the first half, was completely angry, and he shouted like an angry lion: "Look at you guys! Look!! Shame, shame! It's more shameful than losing the game! You don't deserve your jersey at all, you don't deserve it! Want to throw in the towel?! Then keep your heads down and admit defeat like a dead dog! ”

There was a loud "bang", and Benitez, who had said these words, slammed the door and left. He didn't let any of the assistant coaches stay, only the players themselves in the dressing room. "Raphael, is this really okay?" One of Liverpool's assistant coaches said worriedly to Rafa Benitez.

"If you can't even get over this hurdle, then this team is finished, they have to come on their own, there's nothing we can do about it, man, it's just on their own." After walking out of the locker room, Benitez quickly calmed down, as if it was not him at all who had just gotten angry. As he spoke, he leaned against the wall behind him, glanced at the door of Liverpool's dressing room, and continued: "I believe they can bounce back, I believe in my players, they have the ability to do miracles. ”

While the Liverpool dressing room was turning upside down, Chelsea's dressing room was full of joy and the players were full of confidence and it was clear that they were very happy with their performance in the first half. Jose Mourinho is also very satisfied, with a tired Chelsea team who could not ask for more than they could ask for in the first half when they were ahead of Liverpool who were at full strength. But he still doesn't forget to remind his players that they must not take it lightly, and a one-goal lead is not safe.

In addition, Chelsea's tactics in the second half were very clear, defending the counter-attack. "Reima, pay attention to Liverpool's counterattack, I always feel that they won't give up on this, be careful." To his beloved disciples, Mourinho repeatedly instructed.

"Got it, head. I'm far from satisfied with Liverpool, how can I be careless. It's not enough, I want more. Lao Lei nodded in affirmative response, his eyes were cold and murderous. In the first half, for Lao Lei, it was just to recover the interest, and it was far from enough, he had to stab Liverpool in the wound again.

Looking at Lao Lei's eyes, Mourinho nodded with satisfaction, and he had full confidence in winning this game. He knew his disciple and knew that once he showed this kind of look, it would be when the other party was unlucky, and this law has not been broken to this day. "Hmph, as long as Reima can stay calm and thoughtful, I'll see what you can do to reverse the situation." Thinking about it, Mourinho snorted coldly in his heart and said.

The 15 minutes of the break passed quickly, by which time both players were already on the pitch and waiting for the referee's whistle. Taking advantage of this time, Lao Lei observed the murderous aura exuded by the Liverpool players opposite, compared with the end of the first half, such a spirit was simply a 180-degree reversal. However, Lao Lei was not stunned at all, and even said that he still hoped that the Liverpool players would be like this. Because for him, killing a dog is a thing that really makes him unmotivated, even if the dog is something he hates and loaths very much.

As soon as the second half came up, Liverpool's momentum burned like a fire to Chelsea's body, which was a mad momentum. In the face of a red-eyed Liverpool, Chelsea were prepared to retreat steadily, and the lead in the score allowed them to stick to the counter-attacking tactics without any pressure. The two sides became entangled at once, and a white-hot battle for every ball was launched on the court, with the swift flames and the blue ice wall colliding together.

In such a situation, the number of fouls on both sides has skyrocketed, and the referee has become the busiest person on the court for a while. Afraid that the two teams would clash again, he continued to use the whistle to reduce the fire for the players on both sides. But obviously, the effect is not very good, and the intensity of the physical confrontation between the players on both sides has not weakened, but has intensified. But fortunately, the players on both sides were still relatively restrained, and there were no malicious fouls.

The intensity of the game was so great that Lineker was taken aback. Although he was mentally prepared, he didn't expect it to be intense to this time. "Did the Liverpool players take gunpowder?" He thought to himself. Surprised to surprised, he still kept talking dutifully. As for the current intensity on the field, he used this sentence to describe it, "I feel like I am really watching a Champions League final that has reached the point of life and death. ”

In the 55th minute of the second half, Barosh received Colwill's clever through ball in the penalty area, and a sweeping shot was too square, which was guarded by Cech and put into his arms. Just as Ray received a ball from Cech's hand and was about to try again to launch a quick counterattack, he was knocked down directly from behind. The huge strength made him a little overwhelmed for a while.

When he stood up, standing in front of him was Gerald, who was almost red-eyed. In an almost crazy tone, Gerald said to Lao Lei: "This game, I will win even if I die!" ”

"Then you will die!" Lao Lei tasted the taste of grass clippings in his mouth, and responded directly with disdain. If the average young player is really shocked, Gerrard's current momentum may really be shocked, but Old Ray is not such a player. Looking at Gerrard, who retreated after glaring at him, Lao Lei said in his heart: "If you want to win, don't even think about it without my consent." ”

"Don't even think about it!"

"Click..."

Twisting his neck, Lao Lei's eyes were full of murderous aura that had never diminished. (To be continued......)
