Chapter 700: Pressure

In the last game, Chen Yu scored a goal on the field, so even if he did nothing in the next ten minutes and made mistakes, he himself did not have any psychological pressure, and the fans did not give him any pressure, but Chen Yu did not score immediately in this game, and soon he felt the pressure from the fans and opponents.

In the last game, no matter how Chen Yu looked, but he scored, scoring is the only standard for strikers, so Chen Yu's mistakes in the last game have become negligible subsections, fans in this game still have the same requirements for Chen Yu, hoping that he can act as the team's corkscrew and break the deadlock, but Chen Yu can't find a chance at all under Portsmouth's tight and watertight defense, and the tough defense of Portsmouth players also makes Chen Yu unable to hold the ball, and there is no way to get rid of the ball, There were no fewer mistakes than in the last game.

At the beginning, Liverpool fans were still shouting Chen Yu's name and applauding him, hoping that he could score quickly, but as the game progressed, ten minutes passed, Chen Yu only made mistakes on the field, and the role was not even as good as Crouch, the applause of Liverpool fans gradually weakened, and then there were only sporadic applause from some feather fans.

Although Chen Yu has not played for a long time, he still pays attention to the similarities and differences between Serie A and the Premier League, Serie A pays more attention to tactics, the rhythm is a little slower, and the confrontation is a little weaker, but the study is a study, only in the last game can he feel the suffocating rhythm of the Premier League, and the constant physical confrontation, many actions that may have to eat cards in Serie A, and the referee will not even blow a foul here.

Chen Yu's injury is in the ankle, Portsmouth's defender deliberately kicked his ankle when he got the ball, although Chen Yu's injury is healed, but the psychological trauma is not good, seeing the opponent kick or shovel to his ankle, he may have avoided the past, but he still chose to retreat and jump away, which made the opponent more rampant to his injury kick, trying to limit his play. There was even a time when Chen Yu clearly heard the Portsmouth players who were defending him shouting "kick his ankle" to the players who were defending him.

Chen Yu is angry, but he must calm himself, whether it is to protect himself or to score goals, he must be calm, impatience will only make things worse, only calm can find fleeting opportunities.

Chen Yu's mistakes not only come from the oppression of the opponent, but also from the rustiness of his teammates, although he and his teammates can also play some beautiful cooperation in training, but under the high pressure of the opponent, in the dense defense, if you want to play a cooperation, you must have a long-term tacit understanding, rather than relying on good football awareness alone.

Just like in the 70th minute of the game, Chen Yu saw that the middle was too crowded, and he quickly pulled to the side, but while he was running, he suddenly stopped and turned around, throwing off the defenders who ran with him, but Garcia, who was holding the ball in Liverpool, passed the ball to the side, resulting in a coordination error.

After this mistake, Garcia almost did not pass the ball to Chen Yu again.

Chen Yu was also helpless about this, he couldn't blame Garcia, he had just run to the side, but his intentions teammates didn't understand.

There was also a short pass in the 75th minute, Chen Yu, Pennant, and Gerrard made a continuous triangular pass on the side, and finally the ball fell to the feet of Chen Yu near the penalty area, Chen Yu wanted to shoot, but when he landed, it was passed to the empty place in the penalty area, because he saw Kuyt running to this position, the space for his shot was too small, and he couldn't send force, and the pass to Kuyt was the best, but Kuyt was running, and when he saw Chen Yu about to shoot, he stopped, looking for an opportunity to make up for it, As a result, the ball was picked up by the goalkeeper with a quick attack.

Kuyt was also very depressed, he spread his hands to Chen Yu, "Chen, you can pass it directly." ”

Chen Yu smiled bitterly, because he faked this shot to completely pull the defender away, and then Kuyt was able to shoot with confidence, but at this moment he could only hehe.

Benitez, who was standing on the sidelines, saw that Chen Yu and Kuyt were not very effective in the penalty area, and they couldn't cooperate with each other, so he shook his head and called Chen Yu to the sidelines, "Chen, you run more to the side, the middle is too crowded." ”

Chen Yu nodded, the penalty area is indeed crowded, his current physical reaction is not able to get rid of the defense well in an instant to complete the shot, and if he retreats, it will occupy the space of Gerrard and Garcia, and the side with a large space is the best choice.

The reason why the middle is crowded and nervous is because the middle is easier to score and concede, and the chances of scoring far away from the middle are reduced, and now his injury has just recovered, and he does not have the right to move freely in the front field, and there is the striker Kuyt who scores the most goals in the middle, so he can only accept the coach's arrangement to go to the side and create opportunities for Kuyt and other middle players.

However, the side is not a treasure of feng shui, after Chen Yu went to the side, Portsmouth did not relax his defense at all, and still marked and defended alone.

Although Benitez and Liverpool's players now think that Chen Yu has just recovered from injury and is not as good as Kuyt and Crouch, but Portsmouth's players don't think so, in their minds, Chen Yu is the most dangerous person, as long as he is given the opportunity, he can score the ball, and Kuyt Although he has scored 5 goals, he is the most among Liverpool strikers, but there are many opportunities that must be scored Kuyt can't grasp it, and the efficiency is incomparable with Chen Yu.

In fact, from the perspective of goals, rather than from the help of the team, Chen Yu's threat is indeed the biggest in the Liverpool team, now the league has played 14 rounds, 4 strikers Kuyt scored 5 goals, Crouch scored 2 goals, Bellamy and Fowler only 1 goal, and Chen Yu although he only played 25 minutes in this game, but also scored a goal, Portsmouth is not surprised that he values him so much.

Today, Chen Yu is still bound to the consciousness of Swedish star Larsson and Spanish star Vicente, and he is not awkward at all when he comes to the side, switching to the consciousness of Vicente, he is the top winger in Europe. On the left, though, he and Pennant also had problems.

Pennant is more direct on the side, and likes to pass the ball directly after playing a two-on-one with Chen Yu, without any change, while Chen Yu is bound to the consciousness of Spanish players, and has a lot of ideas on the side, can pass the ball, can also cut inside, and even make the ball to the top of the arc of the penalty area, but after Chen Yu and Pennant cooperated, they found that the ball could not come back when it was passed, and almost all of the results were Pennant incarnated as a cross maniac, and frantically kicked the ball to the middle of the penalty area.

Obviously, this effect is not good, Portsmouth is a typical Premier League team, excellent air defense, good physical confrontation, and the original world's top player Campbell in the central defender position, Crouch is 2 tall. 02 meters, the height is already very good, but because of the lack of physical confrontation, he can't play the air advantage, so he was replaced by Chen Yu, and now Pennant passes more on the side, and Kuyt can't fight for a few balls in the middle.

The on-site commentators are anxious for Chen Yu, he shouted in the microphone to let Pennant and Chen Yu cooperate, but Pennant can't hear it, and he won't pass it when he hears it, in his opinion, the full-back is to be used for crossing, of course he has to pass when he has the opportunity to go down, and then pass back to Chen Yu when he has the opportunity to cross, isn't it a big move to take off his pants and fart.

Chen Yu and Pennant teamed up for five minutes before he couldn't stand it anymore, and he felt that it was better for him to go alone than to kick Pennant into the box and let his teammates go to Meng.

In the 81st minute of the game, Chen Yu received the side of the middle lane, and did not pass to the forward Pennant who was crazy again, he directly pounced on the bottom line with the ball, Pennant saw that Chen Yu did not pass this time, he had to brake behind Chen Yu.

Chen Yu faces full-back Glenn. Johnson suddenly changed direction and cut into the penalty area, and when Johnson moved his body, he then dunked back and hit the baseline again.

Glenn. Johnson is 22 years old, originally a Chelsea player, loaned to Portsmouth this season, although he can't gain a foothold in the big-name Chelsea, but being able to transfer to Chelsea is enough to see the strength and potential of this player.

After Chen Yu reached the bottom line, he did not pass the ball directly like Pennant, but stopped again, took advantage of Johnson's unstable foothold, and smashed the ball to the penalty area again.

If it was Chen Yu before the injury, he broke through extremely fast, Johnson had to go all out to keep up, but now Chen Yu is worried about his ankle and does not dare to run with all his strength, he is still a little overweight, and he is afraid that he will hurt his ligaments when he stops, so Johnson did not completely lose his center of gravity, when Chen Yu smashed the ball to the penalty area, Johnson followed up with a flying shovel behind him, shoveled the ball away, and shoveled Chen Yu down on the edge of the penalty area.

Pennant raised his hand to signal Johnson for a foul, and the Liverpool players also ran nervously to Chen Yu, worried about what happened to him.

Referee Alan Willi ignored Chen Yu, who fell to the ground, and let Liverpool send a corner.

From the beginning, the Portsmouth players have been delaying time, and now that the game is 81 minutes, they prefer to entangle with the Liverpool players, although Chen Yu felt a little pain in his heel, but after his teammates helped him up, he jumped, and did not find any problems, so he waved his hand to Gerrard and others, "I'm fine, hurry up and play." ”

Liverpool's players were also anxious, seeing that Chen Yu was fine, Gerrard did not be polite to Chen Yu anymore, and quickly walked to the corner kick area, and other players also came to the penalty area to prepare to grab points.

Chen Yu came to the penalty area, switched his consciousness to Larsson's again, ready to seize the opportunity of this corner kick, Portsmouth defender Campbell attached great importance to Chen Yu, he took the initiative to defend Chen Yu, and called Primus to help defend, and handed Kuyt to his companion fullback Taylor, which made Kuyt a little unhappy, feeling that Campbell looked down on him a little, but more or more, he was very uncomfortable being targeted by Campbell, and now facing Taylor, Kuyt felt that his opportunity had come.
