Originally, Chelsea's weakness was their right-back Ferreira. Liverpool's offense had always played against Chelsea's weakness first. When Chelsea made a flaw in defense, Essing made efforts in this game, and Grant placed him in the weakest position instead of letting Essing play against the midfielder who he is best at.

After making up for this shortcoming, Chelsea has no weakness in defense. Liverpool doesn't know where to start when they want to attack, but Chelsea knows where Liverpool's weakness is. First, Riser's offense is strong and his defense is weak, which is the focus of Chelsea's strike; second, Liverpool's back midfield lacks height and his high-altitude interception ability is average, which is also where Chelsea's main attack.

In the 14th minute, Lampard passed a long pass to the penalty area. Drogba used his speed and physical advantage to squeeze Agel into the penalty area. Seeing that Drogba was about to take the meeting alone, Agel used a common amateur football move and poked the ball behind him. Drogba was not prepared and the ball was poked out of the bottom line.

The applause from Liverpool fans sounded in the stands. Although the action was adventurous, it was very beautiful and successfully cleared.

However, after Agel cleared the siege, he lay on the ground and did not get up for a while. After Carragher pulled him up, Agel seemed not very comfortable.

Benitez on the sidelines was nervous and quickly raised his hand to ask Agri if he wanted to go out to check, but after Agriel raised his legs and turned outward, he told Benitez that he was fine and could continue the game.

After a false alarm, Benitez breathed a sigh of relief, but he never returned to the coach's seat and stood on the sidelines to watch the game.

Chelsea sent a tactical corner kick, and Joe Cole passed the ball to Ashley Cole. Ashley Cole dribbled the ball horizontally into the middle. When Mascherano came to defend, Ashley Cole passed the ball back to Joe Cole who responded to the penalty area.

Before receiving the ball, Jokore saw Drogba's forward pass, so he kept stopping the ball and directly passed the penalty area.

This is a beautiful cross-run cooperation, with the ball reaching, and Liverpool's two central defenders don't even have time to defend.

Facing Liverpool goalkeeper Renner who rushed over with his hands raised, Drogba shot sideways and wanted to hit the ball towards the lower right corner of the goal, but Renner's eyes were fast and his legs were fast. He stretched his feet to block it, and the ball bounced out of the baseline.

p>This is Liverpool's two consecutive times in danger in three minutes. The kick Agel stabbed and the leg that Renner blocked were not regular defensive moves. If it weren't for the two of them's experience, Liverpool might have conceded the goal.

The Chelsea fans in the stands were excited. They kept applauding and shouting in. Their voices were deafening, filling the entire Stamford Bridge Stadium.

Seeing that Chelsea's offensive became more and more fierce and the threat of shooting was getting bigger and bigger, Liverpool's players were unable to reverse the passive situation. They had the right to possess the ball, but whether they attacked from the wing or attacked from the middle, they could not threaten Chelsea's goal.

In the 17th minute of the game, Chen Yu finally used his personal breakthrough to win a set piece opportunity for Liverpool.

In situations where mobile combat cannot work, set balls may have unexpected results.

Seeing Chen Yu standing in front of the ball and preparing for a free throw, Chelsea pulled out the tallest player and stood onto a wall, creating difficulties for Chen Yu's shot as much as possible.

This set piece is about 25 meters away from the goal, and the distance is moderate, but it is not that easy to punish. Chelsea players are very tall and will jump higher when they jump. The arc is not enough to cross the wall. If the arc is too large, the distance of the fall is not enough.

Chen Yu calculated and decided to exert his power. With Cech's strength, if he did not increase his strength and spin, it would be impossible to break through the Czech's ten fingers.

Chen Yu made a small run-up, and the middle and lower part of the ball was pulled from the outside of his right foot. The ball rose from the ground, drawing a crescent arc like a dragon whirlwind, bypassing the human wall and heading straight to the right side of the goal.

"Outer instep!"

Cech exclaimed and flew towards the incoming ball.

The ball was too fast and the arc was too large. Cech's arm was extended to the extreme and did not touch the ball.

Cech felt cold and felt that it was about to finish. Unexpectedly, the ball flew out near the angle between the goal post and the crossbar.

All the Chelsea fans breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, Chen Yu kicked the extremely spinning arc ball, and the Chelsea fans were heartbroken, fearing that Cech would not be able to hold it, but unexpectedly the ball would go out of the goal.

Although Liverpool used the final goal to create a threatening shot, it still could not change the situation on the field. Liverpool controlled the ball more, but Chelsea was still creating threats.

In the 22nd minute, Essin tried another long shot from 25 meters away, but the ball was steadily saved by Reiner.

In the 25th minute, Mikel passed the ball in the middle, Barack made a strong long shot from 30 meters away, the ball was very powerful, and Reina held the ball out of the penalty area with both hands.

In the 27th minute, Drogba dribbled the ball, Agg fell to the ground to snatch it, and shoveled the ball to Riser on the side.

Liser dribbled the ball and quickly advanced along the sideline. The whole game's attention was attracted to Liser, but he didn't notice that Agel was unable to get up after the snatch.

Lisser made a cross from the left, Kuyt and Chen Yu attracted the defense, and Gerald stepped forward and volleyed in front of the penalty area, but the ball did not suppress it and flew high out of the crossbar.

After Gerald shot, everyone found that Agg was lying on the ground and did not get up, so they quickly let the team doctor and stretcher come on the court.

Ag was carried off the field for examination. After a brief examination of the injury, Mark Waller said to Benitez: "The thigh muscle is strained, and I can't continue the game. Please substitute."

"What?" Suzuki Yun suddenly cast Benitez's face. Another central defender Scotter had not recovered yet. Now Agel is injured again. Only Finnish veteran Hepia can send him to the court. But Hepia is 35 years old. When he was young, he was world-class, but now he can only be at Liverpool-class. But now Benitez can only rely on Hepia.

Two minutes later, Hypia came on the court and replaced Agel. Liverpool was forced to substitute in the 30th minute. The two not very familiar central defenders' partners made Liverpool's situation even more dangerous.

In the 33rd minute, Chelsea midfielder Mikel stole the ball under Kuyt and quickly handed it to Lampard. Lampard sent a 30-meter straight pass. Karau inserted into the left side of the penalty area, and changed direction to catch the ball, using his dexterity to drift over the bulky Hepia, then pulled his feet and shot angrily.

Kalau shot at the edge of the penalty area. The ball was very fast. Renner lost his hand and Drogba inserted it at high speed and scored a follow-up shot from a small angle at 5 meters.

1-0.

After Drogba scored, he ran to the stands with his arms excitedly.

“goalgoalgoal…”

The stands were already crazy, all Chelsea fans jumped up and cheered, and the entire Stamford Bridge Stadium turned into a boiling ocean.

"goalgoalgoalgoal... Drogba! Great Drogba! This is the fifth goal of the Ivorians in the Champions League this season! Drogba opened the door to Moscow for Chelsea! The balance of victory completely turned towards Chelsea... Karau shot! Drogba made a follow-up shot! This is a goal created by the two Ivorians! They murdered Liverpool... "

The commentator on the scene was full of passion and almost licked Drogba.

Chelsea coach Grant jumped up with a "scream" and punched his fists in the air, "Good job! Drogba! Good job! Karau!"

Chelsea's substitute rushed out like a wild wolf, waved his arms and roared at the Liverpool stands, venting his excitement.

The camera lens was given to the VIP private room, but there was no Abramovich in the private room. It is said that the Russian rich man was summoned by the president. However, no one can know the real reason. The Russian rich man is relatively low-key and the media rarely gets his exact news.

Liverpool fans stood speechless, Liverpool players looked disappointed, and Liverpool coach kept shaking his head.

The breakthrough point is Hepia. The 35-year-old Hepia is 1.92 meters tall. He turned slowly when he was young. Now he has been turning around for half a century. Faced with a flexible winger like Karau, he doesn't even have the chance to interfere.

All Liverpool people miss Agel and Scotter. Neither of them were on the court, Karau would get the chance to shoot. If Karau didn't shoot, Drogba would have no chance to make a follow-up shot, and Liverpool would not concede the goal, but Liverpool was so unlucky, and both main central defenders were injured, so only Shanghai Pia.

Benitez and the players cannot blame Hypia. The veteran has already given all his money for Liverpool. Now he is similar to the mascot on the bench. It is good to be able to get it up. You can't have too high expectations for a 35-year-old veteran.

After Chelsea celebrated, the game continued. Liverpool tried to counterattack after conceding the ball, but they were at a loss in the face of Chelsea's tenacious defense. The ball could be grabbed at their feet, but it was very difficult to hit the penalty area. At the same time, they also had to face Chelsea's quick counterattack after getting the ball.

Chelsea's defensive retreat is now very deep, and they do not penetrate the frontcourt when attacking. They both have long passes and mid-range passes directly overtake Mascherano and Alonso, making Mascherano's speed and the position and prediction of Alonso are not effective, and can directly allow Drogba, Carau and Jokore to face Liverpool's defense line.

From conceding the ball to the end of the first half, Liverpool launched several attacks, but only Chen Yu barely completed one shot. Although Chelsea did not even have a shot, they had a threatening attack four times, and Alonso also received a yellow card for a tactical foul on Kalao.

When referee Rossetti blew the whistle at the end of the first half, Liverpool players lowered their heads and looked at the locker room with a gloomy face.

Chelsea players were happily celebrating with the fans. Drogba's goal made them reach the final with half foot. If Liverpool wants to advance, they must score two goals. With Liverpool's state in the first half, Chelsea doesn't have to worry at all.
Chapter completed!
