641 Substitute again
Missing the Golden Globe Award by score is a blow to Chen Yu, but it is more of an inspiration.
After being injured, Chen Yu did not have much hope for winning the Golden Globe Award. Now he has just broken the last bit of hope in his heart. This unsatisfied desire stimulates Chen Yu to work harder and work harder to fight.
In the 14th round of the game against Manchester City, Chen Yu scored a goal in 15 minutes on the bench, which partially eliminated the doubts of coaches, fans and teammates about his condition. However, when he first appeared, he scored the goal with his first touch. This luck component was too great and it was not enough to completely win the trust of his teammates and coaches. In the 15th round of home match with Portsmouth, Chen Yu was still placed in the bench lineup.
Chen Yu had no complaints about this. He fully understood Benitez's decision to put him on the bench. With his current physical fitness, physical fitness and tacit understanding with his teammates, it is not appropriate to play as a starting player. It can only add greater pressure to him. Appearing on the bench at the right time is a kind of protection for him.
Although Liverpool's record at home is very awesome, Portsmouth's strength is not bad and in a better state. Now the league has been held for 14 rounds, Portsmouth is one place higher than Liverpool.
Portsmouth has such achievements entirely because it has an awesome boss. Russian wealthy businessman Gedamak is known as "Abu No. 2". Like Chelsea's boss, he is also a "player" who spends a lot of money. However, Portsmouth's fame and heritage are much worse than Chelsea. Even if Gedamak is as rich as Abu, no matter how high the annual salary is, some popular superstars will not transfer to Portsmouth. Therefore, although Gedamak holds hundreds of billions of assets, he is a world of difference from Chelsea in signings. Chelsea are all popular, while Portsmouth is more like a superstar's nursing home.
However, for a relegation team like Portsmouth, which only won the fourth last season, the effect of a few popular superstars is not necessarily very good, and it is more important to attract attention. However, an outdated superstar who is experienced and does not compete for power can give Portsmouth's original players more help.
The results will give players and coaches more confidence. Although Liverpool has maintained a complete victory against Portsmouth in the last four games and has maintained 5 wins and l draws in the last U games, Portsmouth is not ready to come to Anfield Stadium to play soy sauce. They played very smart and patient in Anfield, known as Hell Stadium, and of course their goal is not to return empty-handed.
Seeing the Portsmouth players slowly walking towards the corner kick like an 80-year-old man, and putting the ball in a slow motion, Benitez's face showed an angry and contemptuous look. As an experienced coach, he knew very well what the opponent was thinking. They wanted to delay time. Although they could not drag all 90 minutes away, their behavior could anger the opponent and make the opponent lose their calmness. This offensive and defensive momentum was very obvious. The game had higher requirements for the accuracy of the shot. If the players became impatient, it would definitely be more difficult for them to score.
At this moment, the game time had just passed 50 minutes, and the score was still 00. Benitez looked at Chen Yu on the bench and considered whether to let Chen Yu warm up. He played a few more minutes today. At the end of the last game, he said that he didn't want Chen Yu to be the savior, but his players were too unsatisfied and could not break the goal of Portsmouth at Anfield Stadium. He couldn't rely on Chen Yu.
Benitez was still pondering because it took a while for Chen Yu to play now, and he wanted to wait a little longer. It is more appropriate for Chen Yu to play for more than a minute. The effect may not be good if it takes too long.
Benitez was still waiting, but the Liverpool fans in the audience could no longer bear it. They no longer sang the team song "You will never walk alone", but instead shouted Chen Yu's name and urged Benitez to let Chen Yu play early.
The on-site commentator also questioned Benitez's failure to send Chen Yu to the court, "...What are Rafa waiting for? Is he still expecting his two forwards to score goals? No goals were scored in the first fifty minutes, so what's the use of giving them another twenty minutes? Now it's best to substitute people. People say that substitutions are like changing swords. Changes in luck may lead to goals. Don't look at Chen Yu's long-distance battle, but Manchester City also scored at the beginning. Scoremen sometimes rely on smell to score goals..."
Benitez waited for another five minutes, and under the pressure from the fans shouting at Chen Yu, he had to compromise.
"Chen, come here."
Chen Yu stood up from the bench and walked towards Benitez. Although he was eager to try, he sat steadily on the bench. The last substitute goal gave him more confidence and confidence. He knew that Benitez would never put him on the bench now and not give him a chance to play.
Benitez said: "Chen, go and warm up, do a little more thoroughly, and go and replace Crouch later."
"oh."
Chen Yu agreed and carefully prepared the event on the sidelines in a coat. It was only 55 minutes now. He must have played more today than in the previous game, and Chen Yu was quite satisfied.
Before Chen Yu appeared, Portsmouth's head coach Redknapp was not calm. There were too many legends about Chen Yu. He scored goals in the last game after he appeared again. So when Chen Yu was doing a warm-up activity, Redknapp would run to the sidelines to issue orders to his players every time he died, so he would prepare for the defenders and midfielders to prevent Chen Yu from killing.
Chen Yu spent a full ten minutes on warm-up activities. When the game was over, Liverpool received a corner kick. Chen Yu finally got the chance to play. This was his second time on the Premier League, and his game time was extended to almost 30 minutes.
“Chen aI Chen aI”
Chen Yu, who was standing on the sidelines, heard cheers and applause from all directions. He waved to the fans confidently, and his greeting attracted even more warm applause and cheers.
Crouch was in a very uncomfortable mood when he heard such warm applause from the field. Today, he was not without a chance to score. In the 4th minute, Portsmouth had not yet established a foothold. The defender Hepia made a long pass. He got a shot from the penalty area line, but his shot was confiscated by James. In the 35th minute, Finnan made a long pass, Crouch headed the ball, and Gerrard's shot from the right side of the penalty area bounced back, but Crouch did not seize the opportunity. The ball was shot on the side by the net. Another time, Pennant's cross and Kuyt both hit the goalkeeper with two ghosts.
There are no shortage of chances to get three good shots in a game. After all, as a goalkeeper, the forward will be closely guarded by the opponent, especially a high center forward like him, who often appear as a bridgehead to attract firepower. There is no killer, but he cannot grasp the three chances, but his performance today is so pale and he was replaced early.
Redknapp waited for 10 minutes, and now fear has finally become a reality. Chen Yu has appeared on the court, and he is on the court when he is a corner kick. Benitez is simply putting eye drops on Redknapp.
"Campbell Primus, you two must keep an eye on Chen, and you must not relax for a second. Also tell your teammates that if you lose your position, they must make up for it as soon as possible and you cannot let Chen Yu face the goal alone.
"Know."
"clear."
Campbell and Primus nodded. They knew who the person who came up was and knew how powerful he was. Even if he had not played for half a year, he would still have a greater threat than the forwards who played every day. Just like the Lion even if he rested at home for half a year, it would never forget its instinct to prey.
Campbell is the biggest big star in this Portsmouth club. Today he and Primus performed steadily, resolving Liverpool's multiple attacks. Although it cannot be compared with his peak at Arsenal, Campbell can score 9 points in his form today. As long as he can defend Chen Yu in the remaining 30 minutes, Campbell believes that this is a perfect game.
Chen Yu and Crouch high fives, then quickly ran to the penalty area to compete for the corner kick.
At about the same moment, the same corner kick was Gerald, which made the Portsmouth players very nervous. Almost everyone focused their attention on Chen Yu. Not only Campbell looked at Chen Yu, Portsmouth's forward Muvallivari was also attached to Chen Yu, not only clamping Chen Yu to prevent him from jumping easily, but also blocking his running direction and preventing him from getting rid of it easily.
The referee Alan Weili's whistle sounded, Gerald's ball had not been sent out, and the penalty area was already overturned, and Chen Yu was also pushed to the ground by Muvarivari. The referee Alan Weili had no choice but to ask Gerald to stop the free throw and came over to verbally warn the players of both sides, so that they could move smaller and not foul again, otherwise they would have to give cards.
Today's referee Alanville was a little soft, and neither player took him seriously. As a result, when Gerald took the penalty again, both sides committed another foul in the penalty area, but Alanville let it go and let the game continue.
Gerald kicked a ball at the back point again. The ball was actually looking for Lisai who cut from the sideline. When the opponent was in a mess in the penalty area, Lisai made a second pass, so the probability of scoring would be higher.
Obviously, Gerald's re-use of the old tricks did not have the effect of the previous game. Chen Yu, Kuyt and his teammates did not grab it, and Portsmouth protected the back point very well. Rise did not grab the ball in the back point, and the ball was pushed out of the sideline by Portsmouth's midfielder O'Neal, and Liverpool continued to attack from the outside.
Seeing that Chen Yu didn't get the corner kick, the Portsmouth players and fans breathed a sigh of relief, and the stone pressing on his heart was temporarily moved away.
Chapter completed!
