At the beginning of the second half, Liverpool continued to press and play as Mourinho expected.

However, due to Jose Mourinho's half-time reminder to his players, and the fact that the Blues fans recovered a little bit after the break, they were able to keep Liverpool's attack at bay.

After 10 minutes of fast-paced confrontation, Chelsea continued to adopt their own tactical approach of closing the pitch into the half, and this defensive set once again confirmed Mourinho's confidence and froze Liverpool's attack.

As soon as the 10 minutes passed, Yang Cheng waved his hand, and the team began to slow down and began to control the ball and adjust more.

There's no way around it, and if you blindly engage in that kind of ineffective fast attack, you will only waste your physical energy in vain and give your opponent more opportunities and chips in vain.

"This bastard is really like a turtle, dead-skinned!" Yang Cheng shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Be careful of Chelsea's counter-attacks!" Benitez reminded.

Yang Cheng didn't get carried away enough to think that Chelsea would go without a shot for the whole game, so as soon as he adjusted, he signaled his players to stabilize the situation and be careful of Chelsea's counter-attack.

As if to confirm that, Chelsea soon launched a counter-attack down the left.

Gallas cut off Ronaldo's foot, and the Frenchman even knocked Ronaldo, who wanted to dribble the ball, to the ground, and then inserted the ball himself forward and handed it to Joe Cole, who retreated.

Glen Johnson marked Joe Cole, but the latter was claimed to be England's most delicate and nimble escape, getting past Glen Johnson and dribbling the ball into the left flank.

It was Chelsea's first truly dangerous attack of the whole game, and there was an overwhelming cheer from the Blues fans at Stamford Bridge who were all hoping for a counter-attack to finish the battle with Liverpool.

Joe Cole won the ball on the left side and faced Carragher who came out to block him, and used his personal skills to kick back and dodge Carragher before crossing the ball to the middle.

Frank Lampard cut in at the back and, with Carrick's interference, fired a volley into the oncoming ball.

The shot came with great momentum, but it was a bit high in angle, Reina jumped high, but still couldn't reach it, the ball flew straight off the bottom line, Liverpool's goal kick.

'Chelsea finally had their first shot of the game in the 61st minute!' Andy Gray was a little frustrated: 'A long-range shot from outside Frank Lampard's box turned into an anti-aircraft gun, but we could see that Chelsea were starting to think about counter-attacking and that might have made the game a little bit better. ”

It's so depressing, when the game is completely reduced to a battle of attrition for willpower, no one will find it good except for nervousness.

The so-called good-looking is to have that kind of gorgeous goal battle, and the mercury-like passing and receiving cooperation, that is good-looking.

However, this match between Liverpool and Chelsea is not good at all, and it can only be said to be fierce at best.

"Is he finally willing to stick his head out?" Yang Cheng looked at Mourinho outside the home team's coach's box.

What he is most afraid of is not the kind of opponent who is willing to counterattack and attack, but the kind of opponent who has a stubborn mentality.

Iron Bucket Formation, that's an absolute nightmare for all attackers!

"Not necessarily!" Benitez shook his head, "It's too early to press it out." ”

Yang Cheng sighed, he also felt that it was more like a spontaneous counterattack by the players according to the situation on the field, rather than Mourinho's intentional arrangement.

…………

…………

Carrick stood in the middle of his own half, about 40 metres in front of goal, and behind him was a centre-back combination of Hyypia and Carragher, with Steven Gerrard and Essien up front.

The Liverpool players in the red shirt were pulling back quickly, waiting for Cech to take a goal kick.

When attacking just now, Carrick sprinted forward more than 30 meters, but the pass was shot by Xiao Xiaoluo out of the box, and he had to run back, which was only one of the countless turnaround runs in the whole game.

But this time, he seemed to have exhausted all the strength of his body, and he could clearly feel that his legs were trembling, lying on his stomach, and he wanted to fall crookedly. In this game, Chelsea's midfield caused him a lot of problems, Frank Lampard, Makelele and Thiago firmly locked the midfield, of which Makelele and Thiago were further back, and Lampard moved forward, obviously targeting Carrick. Just to get out of their entanglement, Carrick needs to keep running and running for his life.

Nowadays, a pair of legs are like lead, and the brain can't drive them as much as they normally would.

But when he saw the ball Petr Cech drove it out, he immediately looked up.

Seeing the ball slowly coming in his direction, Carrick made the first prediction, he moved a few steps to the left with difficulty, and Lampard also reacted immediately, and it was clear that he also guessed where the ball landed.

Carrick arrived at the predetermined landing point earlier, leaping high to meet the incoming ball, shouldering Frank Lampard, closing his eyes, flicking his head hard and desperately pushing the ball forward.

The ball fell to Essien's feet, but the Ghanaian immediately crossed to Gerrard, who knocked back as he couldn't find a suitable pass in front.

The ball went back and forth between Carragher, Hyypia and the full-backs.

Carrick gasped for air, and he had just sprinted again to match Frank Lampard's pace, leaving him with little stamina and gasping for air from a distance.

Sweat slipped down his hair and forehead, one by one, and every time he almost seeped into his eyes, he reached out to wipe it.

Everyone can see that his physical strength has been almost exhausted, and he also used his spare eyes to see Yang Cheng on the sidelines shouting at Ashavin, obviously to let the Russians come on the field to replace Carrick.

This is also a big change for Yang Cheng this season, when Carrick is out, he will try to let Essien and Gerrard play double central midfield, a shadow striker in front, and play a nearly 4231 positioning tactic, after all, Arshavin and Gerrard have different technical characteristics, and their individual abilities are also different.

Just like what Yang Cheng said when he introduced Ashavin, he was aiming to bring more changes and richer tactical means to the team, rather than simply pursuing a main force and a substitute, which did not make the slightest sense.

Are you going to replace me?

Carrick had a feeling in his heart that he knew that his physical strength was almost up, and it was understandable that the boss chose to replace him at this time, after all, he continued to stay on the court and could not contribute much.

But just when he was about to accept the fact that he was gone, he suddenly saw Joe Cole not far away, who was chasing Glen Johnson and was about to grab the ball, forcing Glenn Johnson to pass the ball back to Carragher.

He can still run!

Carrick was a little amused, knowing that Joe Cole was not as physically fit as he used to be.

This comparison gave birth to a trace of fighting spirit in his heart.

When he was at West Ham, Joe Cole was the captain and everyone felt that he was the natural core of the team, and Carrick was just an assistant to him, which would have been a little unconvincing in Carrick's heart.

Now that he has come to Liverpool, he can be regarded as a small achievement, do you still want to lose him?

He remembered what Yang Cheng said at half-time, he wanted Joe Cole, beat Frank Lampard!

As soon as he thought of this, he gritted his teeth and ran to the middle of the lane, raising his right hand high, "Here, Jamie! ”

Carragher was being interfered with by Crespo and, as soon as he heard the movement, immediately passed the ball in front of him.

This is what Yang Cheng emphasized the most in training, the pass should not be stared at the person, but should be stared at his running route, passed to his front, so that he can continue to do the action after receiving the ball more comfortably.

The ball came in front of Carrick and with no one around, he slowed down and passed the ball to the retreating captain Gerrard.

He's a guy who plays very smart, he knows when to step up and when to come back.

Gerrard had the ball with his back to him, and behind him was Makelele, who wasn't sure to single out the Frenchman, so he knocked back.

Carrick stepped forward and faced the incoming ball, and the whole game was in front of him, and he felt that Chelsea, after almost half an hour of defending in the second half, began to consciously push the pressing area forward, especially after Cech had just kicked the goal, the ball was always on Liverpool's side, and there was a lot of gap between their defence and the goal. Who will get there the fastest?

Larsson pulled back as Gerrard pulled back, and Ronaldo Jr., who was about to return to pick up Glen Johnson, was also back in the back, leaving a Robben in the front court, who was always cruising around Ferreira.

In just an instant, Carrick made a judgment.

Seeing the incoming ball, he picked up his feet and made a direct long-distance diagonal pass.

The ball flew out from his feet, high but with a beautiful arc and fast enough.

From Liverpool's half to Chelsea's penalty area, it was about 60 meters, enough to pass the ball, and suddenly enough!

Robben also saw Carrick's movements in an instant, he had been working with Carrick for so long, and he knew very well what he was going to do after passing, so he chose to lean on Ferreira in the first place.

The Portuguese instinctively felt the danger, but before he could react, he saw that Robben had accelerated past his defensive zone.

There was no offside, because at the moment of Carrick's pass, Robben and Ferreira were on the same level, but they were a little further back than Terry and Carvalho, and the Dutchman's explosiveness made him rush up, and the speed was terrifying, Ferreira didn't have time to react at all, and he didn't realize that Carrick was going to make a long pass, and Robben had already crossed him, and he couldn't stop it.

The ball crossed most of the pitch and bounced off the left side of the edge of the Chelsea penalty area.

Terry chased after him, Robben was also very fast, Carvalho was also on the sidelines, Cech was a little out of position, and now he was hesitating whether to attack? Or get back to the goal line quickly and hand Robben to John Terry and Carvalho?

Robben's speed was very fast, into the penalty area, Terry also caught up from the side, and was about to touch the ball, but Robben suddenly hooked his left foot, and the ball touched his left instep, as if hitting a wall, and rebounded behind Terry, but Terry couldn't retract his whole body and slid out.

"Beautiful, Robben had a very nice pick and shook off Terry's ......" Andy Gray couldn't help but marvel at Robben's pick-up, which fully showed Robben's outstanding ball sense.

The ball fell to his right side, and Carvalho pressed it for the first time, knowing that Robben's right foot was almost crippled!

But what he didn't know was that Robben was working on his right foot skills, although it was still very poor, but at least, he could pick the ball.

Robben picked up another right-footed shot, Carvalho's clearance was missed, and the ball returned to Robben's left.

The landing point was also very good, just right for his left foot, and Cech only felt the threat at this time, the whole person was retreating towards the goal line, obviously he had seen the threat of Robben. But the Dutchman wouldn't let him back down and curled a ball that the Czech leaped high to try to stop, but couldn't reach it, and the ball went over his head, almost grazed the crossbar, and crashed into the goal.

“GOALLLLLLLLLLL！！！” Andy Gray roared madly.

"Arjen Robben, in the 77th minute, after receiving a long pass from the back, showed his outstanding football skills at the edge of the Chelsea penalty area, and after successive pick-and-rolls, he curled a shot through the Chelsea goal!"

The live TV camera was aimed at the goal-scorer Robben, the Dutchman almost immediately rushed out of the penalty area, opened his hands, and rushed out of the stadium excitedly, making a fist impact action, at the fans in the stands, who couldn't tell whether it was Chelsea or Liverpool fans, roaring excitedly.

"It's so beautiful! Carrick sent a long ball straight into the Chelsea penalty area, and Robben used his speed and skill to get the ball into the Chelsea net under the trap of John Terry and Carvalho, which was a very good individual performance. ”

Speaking of this, Andy Gray couldn't help laughing, "The current Liverpool is really admirable, whether it is the overall strength or the individual ability of the star, it is very well combined, and it has always been able to maintain a high degree of concentration in the game, and the team's overall skills and tactics have also matured, the only thing lacking is an outbreak!" ”

"I remember that when someone interviewed Yang Cheng before and asked about Liverpool's performance this season, Yang Cheng said a very puzzling sentence, accumulating thick and thin, saying that it was their Chinese idiom, it is obvious that he feels that the current Liverpool is still in the stage of accumulation, accumulating game experience, accumulating player tacit understanding, accumulating star strength, etc., and even the club is accumulating financial strength." "We have to admire Yang Cheng's plan for the team, because the team he leads has always been able to show gratifying progress and strength in the face of doubts, making people believe that they are on a path of rapid development. ”

As Andy Gray spoke, the live TV camera had already shown two slow motion of the goal from different angles, and then pointed at the Liverpool players on the sidelines, and saw Robben and others celebrating the goal on the sidelines.

They held Chelsea down for more than an hour, but the tenacious side relied on a bucket of defence to prevent them from scoring, and now that they have scored, they need to be spurred with the most unbridled celebrations.

Look, no matter how much you defend, even if you stuff all 11 players into the goal, we still have a way to get the ball in!

Mourinho looked angry because just as he was about to start a counterattack, the team conceded a goal, and it was a time when he couldn't say who was wrong, so depressed!

You know, not conceding a goal is the first principle of his game and all his tactical ideas are based on not conceding a goal, because he knows better than anyone that when Liverpool score, the game can become very, very difficult.

Chelsea are not good at attacking, and they are weak up front, which everyone knows.

Now that you've lost the ball, what's going to happen next?

He has only one choice, the only choice, to press it out!

"*** bastard!" Mourinho was so angry that he really wanted to scold.

On the contrary, Yang Cheng on the side, excitedly high-fived the assistants and players around him, although Liverpool had the advantage, but he was not absolutely sure of scoring because he was facing Mourinho.

But now, his players are telling him with their actions that no matter who they face, Liverpool can knock him down!

The only regret is that Ashhaven, he went to warm up and came back, and found that the team had scored, so he stood there and celebrated with his teammates, and then looked at Yang Cheng stupidly, and asked timidly, "Boss, am I still on it?" ”

Yang Cheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately came to his senses, suggesting that he must not be dizzy.

"Up, why not?" Yang Cheng directly grabbed Ashhavin's shoulders and leaned over, "The old rule, after you go up, you can play Shadow Blade, you can move freely, but pay attention to that Thiago, Portuguese, No. 30, he can't do it, go up and kill him!" ”

Yang Cheng's expression and tone were more like a messenger who instigated the other party to kill, but the murderer Ashavin kept nodding his head, absolutely loyal to Yang Cheng's arrangement and arrangement.

"Remember, when you advance, advance from the side, with Robben and Little Luo coming, understand?"

The individual qualities of the two wide players make them able to carry the ball forward whenever they are given space.

Soon, taking advantage of a dead ball, Arshavin went up to replace Carrick.

When the Englishman got off the field, he was cheered by the Liverpool fans, came to Yang Cheng's side, and after hugging the manager, he was praised by Yang Cheng.

But at the same time, Chelsea are also making adjustments, and Mourinho has also taken advantage of this opportunity to replace Crespo with Wright Phillips, and it is clear that the attack will be strengthened.

As Yang Cheng said, in Chelsea's tactics, Crespo's type of centre-forward is very ineffective, which is the reason for the Argentine striker's poor performance this season, and it is more dangerous to use the speed type of Wright-Phillips or Baroshe.

Seeing that Mourinho was replaced by Wright Phillips, Yang Cheng immediately gestured to Gerrard, signaling him to stabilize the situation, don't be greedy for power, and hand over the attack to the four players in the front field, and he and Essien should guard against Chelsea's counterattack.

But in his bones, his idea was, one more goal! (To be continued) [This text is provided by the Ghost of Sailing] No one is there
