Seemingly accustomed to falling behind against Chelsea, Liverpool did not launch a fierce counter-attack immediately after the restart, but continued to execute the counter-attacking tactics with the same composure as before. On the other hand, Chelsea and Lao Lei were even less anxious, but slightly slowed down the pace of attack and played a more calm possession tactic.

In such a rhythm, Chelsea will occasionally launch a few attacks under the planning of Lao Lei, and the rest of the football is very calm. Because of this, Chelsea's possession rate even reached an astonishing 70% at one point. It was a very successful pressing tactic as Chelsea not only controlled possession completely, but also did not even give Liverpool much chance on the counter-attack. The Chelsea players on the field, under the leadership of Lao Lei, are like an impenetrable net, wrapping Liverpool tighter and tighter.

In such circumstances, Chelsea scored just one goal in the first half, but it was also an excellent and successful first half in the eyes of outsiders. It may not have been spectacular, it was even a bit dull, but it was the perfect example of Chelsea's control.

Lineker added: "I expected Chelsea to be good, but it's still hard to imagine that this is a final between first and second in the Premier League. Compared with the gap in rankings, the gap in strength is full of levels. I think anyone at this point would have to admit that Chelsea have become an independent tier in the Premier League. And, at least for now, no team can pose a threat to that. ”

Like Lineker, there are many football people who have been impressed by this. But they don't know. This is just the reason why Lao Lei deliberately retracted his strength. It's like usual.,If you don't deliberately collect your strength.。 It's just that life is going to be harder for Liverpool than it is now. But due to the fluctuation of feelings, Lao Lei had to retract. A more conservative strategy was adopted.

Although he is very confident in his own strength, it does not mean that he is blindly proud, and Lao Lei still knows the truth that the lion fights the rabbit and does his best. Because he was in a slightly sad fluctuating situation, Lao Lei did not think that he could achieve good results by rashly exerting his efforts. Even so, he is confident of winning. But in order to give Mourinho a perfect farewell game, Lao Lei did not want to give Liverpool any goals.

And just like that, the first half ended in a slightly dull atmosphere. on this. Jose Mourinho is already very satisfied, at least on the surface. During the break, Jose Mourinho spoke with a proud, proud mindset about his last pre-game encouragement as Chelsea manager.

'Guys, I'm sure most of you remember the first thing I said to you in my training session at Chelsea, 'I'm the best manager and you're going to be the best player'. I am very happy. You've done that. For that, I'm very proud of you, very proud. Now, we're the best team. No one can deny this.

Leave that dirty Champions League game alone, everyone knows what shit it is. Now, a lot of people are expecting us to collapse. Say we can't do it?! It's just a no-brainer. Now, you're going to get me on the pitch. Sue them, we're Chelsea! The best Chelsea!! Go and shred the opponent. To use the failure of the opponent to set off our success. In this way, I went to sue the group of bitches!! ”

Chelsea players could feel the difference Mourinho made in this speech. Compared with his previous strong and passionate style, they can perceive more elements of warmth from it. But even the warmth is something that the Chelsea players listen to, and when you think about when they first came to Chelsea, there is a lot of pride in their hearts when they compare it to the present. As Mourinho said, the only thing they want to do now is to shred up their opponents and show that they are still strong.

Except for Lao Lei, they didn't feel anything wrong with it. Perhaps Mourinho's results at Chelsea were so good that they never thought that Mourinho would leave at this moment. Because, Mourinho's biggest defeat at Chelsea may be that he was eliminated from the Champions League by Barcelona this time, but everyone knows the cats in this defeat. At least as far as Chelsea is concerned, no one has ever blamed Jose Mourinho for the outing.

It is because of this that the elder Ray is now the only man in the Chelsea squad who has been saddened on his own. "It's okay, boy." Before the players walked out of the dressing room, Mourinho said to Lao Lei with concern. In this world, if you want to say that you know Lao Lei best on the pitch, it should be Mourinho. Obviously, he had sensed the anomaly of Lao Lei after the goal in the first half.

"It's okay, head, just enjoy the game." Lao Lei replied lightly. He was very clear about Mourinho's thoughts, so while answering, he also nodded deliberately, signaling that he didn't have to worry about himself. The slight loss of control in the first half was something he couldn't help but for, but in the second half, he certainly wouldn't do it again, at least until the victory was assured.

As soon as the second half began, Liverpool suddenly stepped up their attack. With the only trophy they can compete for this season, they are clearly not going to rest on their laurels and hand the FA Cup title to Chelsea. As for the concession in the first half, it was more like a strategic retreat, storing all the strength and physical strength for the second half to explode. No, at the beginning of the second half, the Liverpool players seemed to have gone crazy suddenly, and they all increased the intensity of their running and pressing.

In the 51st minute of the second half, Lao Lei was just about to get the ball in the midfield, and he was immediately pressed by Liverpool. This is much stronger and more resolute than in the first half. Just when Gerrard was forcing in front of Lao Lei, Lao Lei suddenly opened his feet and gave up the football behind him. At the same time, he himself turned and accelerated, heading towards the football.

But this time it was not so easy to get rid of it, although Gerald, who had just slowed down, could not keep up with the pace of Lao Lei's acceleration, he was very decisive and pushed Lao Lei to the ground. Although this seems to be an unworthy impulsive move, it has no other effect than to win him a yellow card, because at this time Lao Lei is still a midfielder after all, and even if he gets rid of it this time, it will not pose much of a threat to Liverpool's defence.

But that's just a surface, on paper, and Gerrard's foul did more than that for Liverpool. As the captain and soul of Liverpool, he made such a decisive and fierce foul, especially for the exemplary role played by Lao Lei in doing so, which cannot be clearly explained in a few words. In terms of morale motivation alone, this has a heavy effect. You must know that Lao Lei's current title of the superboss has long been famous all over the world, and if you really want to do anything ruthless to him, it really takes some courage. Just Gerrard's move can send a message to other Liverpool players, that is, I am not afraid, and then you don't have to be afraid.

It can be said that Gerard came to such a moment without such a thought. But if there is gain, there will be loss, and before Lao Lei got up, Gerald was mentally prepared to take precautions. As a person who dares to beat the referee, who else on the court he doesn't dare to beat, this is what most people in the outside world think of when they think of Lao Lei, and Gerrard is no exception. Although he didn't think that Lao Lei would go crazy like this, considering Lao Lei's strong combat effectiveness, Gerald still felt that it was better to be prepared.

Even if you don't do it, you will be yelled at twice, this is the best and most rational way to deal with Lao Lei in Gerald's heart, and this should also be what most people in the outside world think in their hearts. At this moment, even the cameras on the scene reflexively focused on Lao Lei's body, wanting to clearly record Lao Lei's expression when he was angry, because this represents ratings and bonuses.

But to everyone's surprise, after Old Ray got up from the turf, he just patted his ass casually, and did not react at all, he didn't even look at Gerald. It's not normal, it's very abnormal! Could it be that after the match against Barcelona, he repented and became a Buddha? After witnessing this scene, this idea popped into the minds of most people. But soon, they denied themselves again, as a player who had been demonized in their minds, in their opinion, Lao Lei would never have this consciousness.

Although Lao Lei did nothing at this time, it was like he had done something, and the entire Millennium Stadium fell into incredible surprise and silence for a while, including Chelsea fans and players. At this moment, the eyes they looked at Lao Lei turned into a kind of comical scrutiny, to see if he was really the "Remaya", the "Godzilla", whether someone else was pretending. Even the Chelsea players, who are comrades with Lao Lei, inevitably have such thoughts at this moment.

At this time, the only one who didn't look at Lao Lei with surprise may be Mourinho on the sidelines. His eyes were full of relief, because he remembered what Lao Lei once said, "Head, this is a game for you." Since Lao Lei said so, it is not difficult for Mourinho to guess Lao Lei's thoughts, he knows too well about this paranoid and perfectionist disciple. Is it perfect? That's nice

At the same time, Lao Lei on the field didn't seem to notice the surprised silence at the scene, and immersed himself in his own thoughts.

It has to be a perfect match!

It has to be!! (To be continued......)
