"Rustle Rustle Keller, Keller, do you hear me? Did you hear that? ”

On the congested Fulham Road, a dispatch call was heard from the intercom on a taxi car.

The big fat Keller sat on the cab, pressed the horn vigorously, and impatiently snatched the walkie-talkie on the main console with one hand, "I heard it, damn it, if you have anything to say, say it quickly"

"Someone hailed a taxi at the gate of Hyde Park, someone hailed a taxi at the gate of Hyde Park, you hurry over"

Keller squinted, swept the electronic clock on the car, and brought the walkie-talkie to his lips, "I'm on the damn Fulham Road now, it's very congested, I don't know when I'll be able to get out, you can arrange for someone else to go, that's all" After speaking, he put the walkie-talkie back, and even turned it off directly.

The traffic moved slowly, as slowly as a snail, but the fat man Keller was very familiar with the traffic in London, and he saw an opportunity to pull the car out of Fulham Road and into a crowded alley.

No one would dare to walk down an alley that only allows one car to pass through if they weren't familiar with London's road traffic, but Fat Keller was obviously very familiar with the surrounding area, and walked to the middle of the alleyway and turned onto another equally crowded alleyway.

Turning around in the Chelsea district in this way, it didn't take long for him to turn out of the congested road, and soon he was speeding up the road, speeding down the road, crossing the Thames and heading south, and soon stopped at a bar at a fork in the road.

For many fans who can't afford Chelsea's exorbitant ticket prices, pubs are the best place to watch football, especially the cheap bars on the south bank of the River Thames, which are their home turf.

In the midst of a doorbell, the burly body of Fat Keller slammed into the bar door.

"Hey, fatty, you're late to-day," the bartender said with a smile, "and it's been a long time since the game was played." ”

"I know, I know" Fat Keller walked forward impatiently, his eyes staring at the TV in front of the crowd, but it was too far away to see what was on the screen, and he took out a coin and slapped it heavily on the bar, "Hot dog, Pettigree Bittel."

Pettigree Bittel, a British beer with a long history, is bitter and strong, but it is so popular that many brochures will say that if you walk down the streets of London and look at the fans, almost everyone has a bottle of Pettigree Bittel in their hands, and it almost becomes a representative.

Hot dogs and beer, that's Fat Keller's dinner, but he clearly didn't pay attention to dinner.

After paying the money, he walked straight to the front and slipped into the crowd, "How's it going?" What's the score? ”

"00 damn Yankees, it's so fucking tenacious, you can't attack no matter how you attack" A middle-aged fan who was drinking next to him was full of alcohol, and he didn't feel it when he didn't speak, and he was exposed as soon as he said it, but this kind of alcohol was very familiar to the fat Keller, and he was not disgusted at all

It's a bit like smoking, people who don't smoke will be very disgusted when they encounter smokers, but when you smoke, you will only feel familiar when you smell the smoke, and maybe even you will have a good evaluation from the smell of smoke to identify what brand it is.

"Fuck it" Fat Keller noticed, it's all the second half, "The team hasn't been in great shape lately"

The first sentence is aimed at the Yankees in their mouths, that is, Liverpool, while the latter sentence is about the team Chelsea.

"Constantly changing tactics, obviously playing 43l to play well, suddenly change to 3I to play well," complained a young fan next to him, who obviously vented his frustration about the team's poor performance to the head coach.

"I'm bullshitting you, and I blame the coach for not playing well?" Fat Keller shouted and cursed.

This is very common in bars, where it is common to gulp down, talk loudly, foul language, and even get into a fight.

"There are so many international players, the national team matches are so frequent, and the summer is the European Cup and the Copa America together, so it is certain that the players' form will be affected" The middle-aged man Keller asked just now stood up to ease the atmosphere, but he was also teaching a young fan, "How many years have you only watched football?" Don't follow the media and throw all the problems at the manager."

"It's just that the ignorant people think that the manager is incompetent, really incompetent, and can win the Premier League and the Champions League in the first year?" Fat Keller is obviously a firm Ye Qiu party, and he is most disgusted with those who only know how to obey the media and criticize the head coach at every turn.

The bartender quickly put the hot dog and beer next to Keller, who took a big bite and ate the beer, but his attention was all on the TV screen, and it was obvious that he was unwilling to let his guard down for a quarter of an hour, and every Chelsea attack was able to get all the adrenaline rush in the bar, and every attack was defused with a sigh of regret.

"Liverpool's defence in this game was very targeted, and we all know that Chelsea's recent form has not been very good, especially in attack, and the performance is very unsatisfactory, and there are even many people who feel that Ye Qiu's adjustment to Chelsea is a failed attempt, because Chelsea's performance has been difficult to be satisfactory since the start of the league game."

'But obviously, and I'm sure Benitez himself is well aware, it's hard to beat Chelsea with a targeted defence alone, unless his side can play a dangerous counter-attack, and the trend of the game seems to confirm that Liverpool do have the ability to do so, after all, Chelsea have squandered a lot of scoring opportunities.

When the on-site commentator said this, there was a burst of boos and curses in the bar, and the foul language was one after another, and everyone in the bar seemed to be indignant and very dissatisfied.

"Who the hell is this goddamn guest commentator?" Fat Keller eats hot dogs, his mouth is full, and he doesn't speak very clearly.

The young fan next to "Alan Hansen" who was reprimanded by the fat Keller just now was also indignant.

"Fa Li, it turned out to be him, this bastard is from Liverpool, is Sky TV a fool to find him to explain such a big battle? Why don't you find our own people? Fat Keller scolded dissatisfied.

Alan Hansen is Liverpool's best centre-back and a famous Reds, and his role as a commentator is indeed a bit biased in favor of Liverpool, so it's no wonder that Chelsea fans are dissatisfied.

Taking advantage of some dead balls, the live broadcast is also constantly replaying some of the highlights of the game, and Fat Keller also noticed that almost all the highlights are from Chelsea's attack, and Liverpool's attack is very few, but the problem is that Chelsea has really wasted a lot of opportunities, especially Lampard.

"We weren't hard enough on our feet today, what's wrong with the team?" Fat Keller clearly couldn't understand.

The fans next to him also coaxed, "If we take the opportunity a little better, especially Frank Lampard, as long as he plays half the usual shooting level, we would have beaten Liverpool a 0, we almost crushed the Reds in the first 15 minutes, but we couldn't kick the goal."

"Yes, Frank Lampard didn't score on three good chances, this form is really terrible, we are in control of the situation now, but there is no way to convert the advantage into goals, Liverpool is really in place in terms of targeted tactics, the fat man from Spain is still very strong, no wonder the manager said before the game that it will be a bad battle"

"No matter how dangerous the fierce battle is, we haven't fought it, there must be a way"

"That is, so many opponents have been lost to us, will we still be afraid of him with a mere Liverpool?"

"Don't underestimate Liverpool, this team has improved a lot this season"

"Big fart of progress, really big progress, will you lose to Bolton? Will they almost lose to Manchester City? Will Manchester United step on the shoulders and jump up? ”

This is indeed a very incomprehensible place for Liverpool this season, playing tough battles and performing very well, but playing relatively weak teams, they are often easy to miss, which is also why so far, Liverpool has not only fallen down in the rankings, but now even fell directly out of the top ten.

"All shut up" Fat Keller saw that everyone in the bar was talking to me, and he was so stirred up that he couldn't even hear the sound on the TV, so he couldn't help but shout, "Watch the ball, watch the ball, what's the noise?" Isn't the manager thinking of a solution? Is it useful for you guys to argue over here? ”

"Yes, there will be a way, don't worry, be a little patient, there is still half an hour left in the game"

Fat Keller is obviously also an old qualification, and after such a shout, everyone in the bar suddenly fell silent.

At that moment, the TV screen showed Davis standing on the sidelines waiting to play.

"It seems that Ye Qiu is finally going to make adjustments, the Dutch wild boar Edgar Davis is about to play, I don't know who he will replace?" The TV commentator was also analyzing over there, "Will it be Ronaldinho who is not performing well?" ”

But just as he finished speaking, he saw Drogba slowly walking off the court.

"Oh, it turned out to be a replacement for Drogba, we noticed that Drogba seemed to be a little injured in a collision with Hyypia not long after the start of the second half, Chelsea is now in a big problem, Ye Qiu doesn't want Drogba to continue to play with injuries, so he replaced him with Davis."

"But how is this game going to be played now? Replacing Drogba and getting Davies on, is it to let Rooney play center? ”

It's not just the narrator who doesn't understand, but everyone in the whole bar who doesn't understand and is curious.

Whether Liverpool is a strong team or not, Ye Qiu can't give an effective answer to this, because this team is very strange.

Playing a weak team, often losing points, capsizing in the gutter, but playing a strong team, they are like playing chicken blood, performing very well, Ye Qiu of course will not feel that this is Liverpool deliberately grabbing a strong team to play, because no team is willing to pull their league ranking to outside the top ten, just in exchange for the name of a strong team killer.

The only explanation is that this team has a problem, and it is a serious problem.

Ye Qiu had carefully studied Liverpool's tactics before the game, and he clearly knew that the team's problem in advancing the ball was the lack of a stable tandem between the striker and the midfielder.

Liverpool's starting lineup for this game was goalkeeper Dudek, Josemi, Carragher, Hyypia and Traore at the back, Xavi Alonso and Hamann at the back, Reese, Luis Garcia and Gerrard in front, and Cisse as the single striker.

This is a set of signature tactics that want to play defensive counterattacks, Cisse is very fast, but the footwork is rough, Ye Qiu arranged for Cannavaro and Terry to pinch him, which made the French striker almost not even have a chance to hold the ball in this game.

Claude Makellele's return has given Chelsea a strong source of protection at the front of the defence, and Luis Garcia has good footwork, but this game is lost in Chelsea's defensive labyrinth.

Liverpool have also tried to play on the wing, Reese has created crosses in several counterattacks, but no one in the front field can give a response, and Liverpool's counterattack speed is not fast, but Chelsea's return speed is very amazing, which is why Chelsea has conceded so few goals in the past two seasons.

In the end, Liverpool's attack lost its threat and had to make frequent use of Xavi Alonso's long balls in the hope of playing Chelsea's back, but Chelsea were well prepared for this, and Cisse's speed failed to play an effective role under the combined pressure of Terry and Cannavaro, and instead frequently fell into the offside trap.

However, Hyyypia and Carragher's restrictions on Drogba in this game were also in place, coupled with Benitez's targeted defensive set-up, which caused Chelsea's attack to be delayed.

Ye Qiu knew very well that Chelsea's usual attacks must have been thoroughly understood by Benitez, and the master tactician from Spain must have a detailed response strategy, so he decided to adjust on the spot, and just as Drogba was injured, he replaced Drogba with Davies.

With this adjustment, Chelsea returned to the configuration of the back three, Davies, Deco and Makelele returned to the back three, and in front of it was the combination of Ronaldinho, Lampard and Rooney, and Ye Qiu walked to the sidelines and kept letting Lampard move forward.

'Strangling Xavi Alonso,' Ye Qiu gestured towards Lampard.

As the game resumed, Frank Lampard moved up front, close to the lagging Xavi Alonso, while Ronaldinho and Wayne Rooney were on the front line to get close to the gap between Liverpool's full-backs and centre-backs.

Regaining the back three, Chelsea's strong pressing force also returned to the pitch, especially when Ye Qiu signaled on the sidelines that the team should continue to press, and the players kept pressing Liverpool, especially Lampard, who almost pestered Xavi Alonso to prevent the Spaniard from effectively taking the ball and passing.

Chelsea's change has clearly disrupted Liverpool's plans, they already lack points on the pitch, and the passing and receiving coordination is not fine enough, more like the traditional Premier League team, even with the introduction of Xavi Alonso, the Spaniard is better at long balls and controlling the tempo, when it comes to technique, he tends to be practical, and he is a bit afraid of pressing and lacks the ability to get rid of.

The only one who could barely hold the ball was Luis Garcia, but the player's form was terrible in this game, and with Claude Makelele on his side, he disappeared completely.

Therefore, when Chelsea suddenly returned to the back three and launched a round of fierce high-intensity frontcourt pressure on Liverpool, Liverpool was chaotic for a while, with frequent mistakes in passing and receiving, and even many times the players did not know how to get the ball, and went forward with a big foot, which was more like a clearance in defense than a purposeful pass.

Benitez is also a master tactician in the end, and immediately realized the danger, immediately called Smitchell to warm up, wanted to adjust the team, add a receiving and holding point, and even he was already thinking about abandoning the Cisse lightning counterattack and replacing it with Baroshe.

But at this time, Liverpool was a little negligent, and finally revealed a flaw.

When Ronaldinho got the ball on the left side, he directly faced Josemi on the right side, and Hamann leaned over for the first time, after all, it was difficult for Josemi to defend Ronaldinho alone, but when the two were sandwiched at the same time, Ronaldinho suddenly changed direction and accelerated, passing through the encirclement that the two had not yet formed.

Carragher's reaction is also very fast, as early as the Houllier period, Liverpool's defense attached great importance to help defend protection, and Carragher has always kept a suitable distance from Josemi and Hamann, so when he saw Ronaldinho break through, he immediately stepped forward to block, and according to his usual defensive experience, even if he can't break the ball, at least he can block Ronaldinho, so that the Brazilian will no longer go straight to the goal.

But Carragher apparently didn't realise that his so-called experience was for the Premier League players he had met on a daily basis, or for first-class stars, and for a superstar player like Ronaldinho, he obviously couldn't be seen the same way he would treat ordinary people

Just when Carragher thought he was blocking Ronaldinho, he didn't expect the Brazilian to suddenly turn around with his back, skillfully pull the ball with both feet, and block Carragher with his back back, and then a flexible Marseille maneuver, under Carragher's stunned eyes, like a slippery loach, slipped in front of Carragher, allowing Carragher to stretch out his leg to break the ball and kick it into the air.

Ronaldinho managed to break through from three men, which completely disrupted Liverpool's defense, when he cut into the box on the left side of the arc of the penalty area, facing Hyypia, one-on-one, and at this time Ronaldinho made a move to break through Hyypia by inertia.

Hyypia was able to fill the position for Carragher in a hurry, and there was no extra time to think about whether Ronaldinho's action was real or fake, it was directly a blocking action, but who would have thought that Ronaldinho buckled the ball with his left foot, and his center of gravity was immediately adjusted, looking at Hyypia, but his right foot was to separate the ball from Hyypia's side.

Rooney on the right seemed to be prepared, quickly shook off Traore, entered the penalty area, and met Ronaldinho's pass without even looking at it, and gently pushed it in front of the right post.

The ball hit the inside of Wayne Rooney's right foot, grazed the right-hand post and drilled into the Liverpool goal
