Chapter 1024 Dominance

At the beginning of the game, Chelsea thought Liverpool would be affected by off-court factors and was preparing to give the Reds a warning to the beginning. Unexpectedly, Liverpool was excited by the loyal Reds fans. Their high pressure on the pressing game did not pose any threat to Liverpool, but was almost broken by Chen Yu.

After testing Liverpool's form, Chelsea's conservative personality once again gained the upper hand. They no longer pressed all the game. The three lines retreated for at least fifteen meters and began to compete with Liverpool in the midfield. They grabbed the ball and counterattacked quickly.

This is the tactical style that Chelsea is best at. After Grant came to the stage, he did not make much changes to the team. He still followed Mourinho's style of play, but only strengthened the ball control on this basis.

With Chelsea's strength, after they retreated to the midfield, it was difficult for Liverpool to get a shot again. The two sides mainly fought in the midfield, and the offense was often resolved in the third zone of the defense. The game was very fierce, but the exciting scenes were rare.

"Familiar recipe! Familiar taste! I guess it's still a familiar score!"

Chinese commentator Duan Xuan, standing in the commentary seat, shook her head unstoppable. As a loyal fan of Chen Yu, he still hopes to be more open, so that offensive players like Chen Yu will definitely perform better.

The two head coaches on the sidelines were very calm. They were not Wenger, they were both utilitarians. As long as they could defeat their opponents, no matter how ugly the game was, even if the fans cheered, they would not pay attention to it. Winning was everything.

This kind of chaos did not change any new things until the 18th minute.

This time, Riser assisted to the midfield again. He passed the ball to Benardon from the left, and Benard never stopped the ball to Kuyt. Kuyt was not prepared for this pass. When the ball stopped, the ball leaked from under his feet.

However, it was so magical. This accident formed a clever missed ball cooperation. The defensive players were shaken and Chen Yu ran over, but Gerald happened to hit the horse and rushed to the bottom left corner of the goal with his arch.

This shot was very beautiful, and goalkeeper Cech was not ready. He flew to save one step late. The ball rolled past him. Just when the Chelsea were panicking, the ball flew out of the baseline against the post.

Gerald covered his face with both hands and was very dissatisfied with his shot.

Chen Yu came over and patted his shoulder, and smiled and said, "It's nothing to miss the opportunity you picked it up!"

Gerald smiled bitterly and said, "There are not many opportunities like this when playing against Chelsea."

It was originally a match that was evenly matched, but because of Gerald's extremely threatening shot, Chelsea felt offended. Even if they didn't score, they didn't want to be compared by Liverpool. Then Chelsea suddenly strengthened the offense and tried to regain some face.

Liverpool's rhythm changes against Chelsea were not able to adapt. One minute later, Drogba suddenly pulled the ball from the wing to get the ball. Liverpool's right-back Aberroa lacked the opportunity to compete with Drogba. He suddenly faced Drogba and didn't know how to deal with it. Drogba used his body to force him to eat.

Drogba pulled the ball into the penalty area with great force, and the ball flew against the turf, with great strength. Goalkeeper Reina did not dare to attack and save the ball, so he could only stand on the goal line and wait for his teammates to clear the ball.

Drogba is Chelsea's single arrow. He pulled the ball into the middle of the wing and grabbed the ball. Joe Kerr is very skilled, but grabbing the ball is not a job he is good at. In this way, he was slower in the opportunity in front of the goal and the ball passed by his toes.

Joe Kerr didn't touch such a fierce pass, and Liverpool players didn't dare to touch it. The strength of this direction was too difficult to control, so maybe he went into the goal, the ball passed by and flew out of the sideline.

After Liverpool served, the rhythm was still in the hands of Chelsea. Liverpool's players passed a few passes and were forced to drive towards the frontcourt. When the ball hit back to Liverpool's half, the ball was already under Chelsea's feet.

Maybe because he felt that the attack on the wing was not smooth, Chelsea players pulled the side and cooperated with the full-back to cross.

In the 21st minute of the game, Lampard and Ashley Cole cooperated, and Lampard passed the ball to the penalty area on the side of the penalty area.

Drogba attracted most of Liverpool's attention. At this time, Maluda and Jokore both entered the penalty area to grab the spot.

Maluda was tightly held by Mascherano and did not grab the front point. Joko in the middle flew to shoot, and the ball hit Renner, but was confiscated by Renner.

Chelsea won two consecutive crossing opportunities, and another time they grabbed the landing point, which aroused Liverpool's great vigilance. In the next game, Liverpool strengthened its defense against the wing and did not give Chelsea a chance to cross. The players in the middle also slightly contracted backwards, preventing Chelsea from easily grabbing the spot.

Chelsea gained the upper hand and scored two consecutive shots, which boosted the Blues' spirits, and they made the offense faster and wanted to break through Liverpool's goal in one fell swoop.

In the 29th minute of the game, Drogba received a cross pass from the front of the penalty area. When he stopped the ball, he leaned against Carragher and forced his turn to enter the penalty area.

For an arrow figure like Drogba, Liverpool has the highest defense against him. While Carragher is keeping a guard, Agel is also waiting for an opportunity to help. The moment Drogba broke into the penalty area, Agel decisively made a tackle. The ball was destroyed by Agel, and Drogba was tripped in the penalty area.

Drogba raised his hand to signal Agre to commit a foul, and Chelsea players rushed over to ask the referee for a penalty.

The Chelsea fans in the stands did not see what had just happened, but when they saw Drogba lying in the penalty area and his players were signaling for a foul by their opponents, they all stood up and shouted: "Penal! Penalty!"

Agel knew that he had not committed a foul, but it was normal to misjudgment in football matches. He also quickly raised his hand to signal that he had not committed a foul. Drogba was pretending to fall.

Liverpool players also came to explain to the referee Kaser that the scene was in chaos.

The referee Kasse had just seen it clearly, and he decisively signaled that this was a corner kick and Agre did not make a foul.

The Chelsea players were not satisfied and came over to ask for an explanation. Kasai immediately reached into his pocket to pick up a yellow card. This was only 30 minutes in the first half, and it was still a long time. Lampard saw that the situation was not good, so he immediately pulled his teammates away.

Drogba knew very well that Agel had not made a foul. He was just bluffing to see if there was a chance to cheat a penalty kick. Seeing that the referee was very decisive in his judgment, he didn't dare to make trouble again.

The slow motion was quickly given. Although Agel tripped Drogba, Agel hit the ball first, which made Liverpool fans at the scene uproar and booed the Ivorians fiercely.

Chinese commentator Duan Xuan also joked: "The African brothers are not so honest now. If the referee doesn't see clearly, Liverpool may be wronged to have a penalty kick. Some people call Drogba African Liu Dehua, which makes sense. This acting is just right."

Drogba's cheating points made Liverpool's players and fans very angry, and this anger also turned into strength. Liverpool's players became very active in the game and became more fierce in the fight. Chelsea's momentum was affected by some failure in succession of attacks, and soon the situation on the court was reversed by Liverpool.

In the 32nd minute, Gerald retreated to get the ball, turned around and drove the ball to break through, and after passing two Chelsea players, he suddenly passed directly behind Chelsea.

This straight pass is very bold, because the two central defenders of Chelsea are not far from the penalty area, but Chen Yu is very fast. He passes through the two central defenders Terry and Carvalho at an almost shocking speed, and falls to the ground and shoots before Cech strikes.

Such a shot is too difficult, and Chen Yu was unable to make a strong effort, and the ball was blocked by Cech with his legs and went out of the bottom line.

Such a pass must be very imaginative, but only Chen Yu's explosive power can get the ball and complete the shot.

The fans in the stands burst into warm applause, and the fans began to shout Chen Yu's name.

This offense completely ignited Liverpool's fighting spirit, and then they became more and more braver in the battle, almost suppressing Chelsea in half.

Chelsea's head coach Grant could not sit still, so he came to the sidelines anxiously, shouted at the players, letting them push them out and force them on.

But now that Liverpool is so morale, it is impossible for Grant to turn the situation around just by shouting a few words.

Not to mention Grant can't sit still, Benitez can't sit still either. He is an experienced head coach. He knows that although Liverpool takes the initiative and attacks a lot, as long as he cannot complete the goal, a team like Chelsea may give Liverpool a fierce counterattack.

"Calm down! Calm down! Seize the opportunity and pass it again!"

"Don't panic and shoot from a long distance!"

Benitez yelled at the stadium, hoping that the players could seize the opportunity to score a goal, 1:0. Such a score is enough. There should not be too many fantasies for a team like Chelsea. Although Liverpool repeatedly eliminated Chelsea in the Cup, Chelsea has not lost more than two goals.

In the 35th minute of the game, Chen Yu broke through and passed it to Kuyt. After receiving the ball, Kuyt could not turn around and could only knock back to captain Gerald. Gerald followed up with a volley, but the ball did not hit the part and flew high into the stands.

The Liverpool captain was a little embarrassed and raised his hand to apologize to Kuyt and the fans in the stands.

In the 39th minute of the game, model worker Kuyt showed his strength. His active fighting caused Chelsea to make a pass in the backcourt. Benayon intercepted the ball and made a cross, but Benayon passed the ball too high. If Crouch was on the middle, he might be able to reach it. Although Chen Yu jumped well, he was too late in a hurry and did not get the first point. The ball was cleared by Chelsea's defender.
