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

No matter how Chen Yu performed in the last game, he scored a goal, and goals were the only criterion for the striker, so Chen Yu's mistakes in the last game became negligible. Fans still had the same requirements for Chen Yu in this game, hoping that he could act as the team's bottle opener and break the deadlock. However, Chen Yu could not find any opportunity under Portsmouth's strict defense, and the tough defense of Portsmouth players also made Chen Yu unable to hold the ball, and he could not get rid of it even if he held the ball. The mistakes were no less than in the previous game.

At the beginning, Liverpool fans were still calling Chen Yu's name and applauding him, hoping that he could score a goal soon, but as the game progressed, ten minutes passed, and Chen Yu had only made mistakes on the court, and Crouch, who was not even on the court, gradually weakened the applause of Liverpool fans, and later there were only some fans of the badminton fans.

Although Chen Yu has not played for a long time, he still pays great attention to studying the similarities and differences between Serie A and the Premier League. Serie A pays more attention to tactics, with a slower pace and a weaker confrontation. However, research is research, only in the game can he feel the suffocating pace of the Premier League and the constant physical confrontation. Many moves that may be necessary to take cards in Serie A, where the referees don’t even foul.

Chen Yu's injury was on his ankle. Portsmouth's defensive player deliberately kicked his ankle when he got the ball. Although Chen Yu's injury healed, his psychological trauma was not healed. Seeing his opponent kicking or shoveling towards his ankle, he obviously could avoid it, but he still chose to retreat and jump away, which made the opponent kick at his injury more rampantly, trying to limit his performance. One time, Chen Yu clearly heard the Portsmouth player who was defending him shouting "Kick his ankle" to the players who made up for defense.

Chen Yu was very angry, but he had to calm himself down. Whether he was protecting himself or scoring goals, he had to calm down. Impulsiveness would only make things worse. Only by being calm can one discover fleeting opportunities.

Chen Yu's mistakes came from the oppression of his opponents, but also from his unfamiliarity with his teammates. Although he and his teammates can also play some beautiful cooperation during training, under the high pressure of the opponent, in intensive defense, if you want to play cooperation, you must have a long-term tacit understanding, rather than relying solely on good football awareness.

Just like in the 70th minute of the game, Chen Yu saw that the middle was too crowded, so he quickly pulled to the side, but while he was running, he suddenly stopped and turned around and threw away the defender who was running with him. However, Garcia, who was holding the ball in Liverpool, passed the ball to the side, resulting in a cooperation mistake.

After this mistake, Garcia almost never passed the ball to Chen Yu.

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

There was also the short pass in the 75th minute. Chen Yu, Pennant and Gerrard passed the ball continuously in triangular passes on the side. Finally, the ball fell to Chen Yu's feet near the penalty area line. Chen Yu pulled his foot and wanted to shoot, but when he landed, it reached the space in the penalty area. Because he saw Kuyt running towards this position, his shot space was too small and he couldn't send out his strength. It was best to pass the ball to Kuyt, but Kuyt was running, and saw Chen Yu going to shoot, he stopped and wanted to find a chance to make a follow-up shot. As a result, the ball was quickly attacked by the goalkeeper.

Kuyt was also very depressed. He spread his hands to Chen Yu, "Chan, just pass it directly."

Chen Yu smiled bitterly because he pretended to shoot to completely open the defender, and then Kuyt could shoot with confidence, but at this moment he could only laugh.

Standing on the sidelines, Benitez saw that Chen Yu and Kuyt were not effective in the penalty area. They couldn't cooperate. 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 was indeed crowded. His physical reaction was not able to get rid of the defense well in an instant to complete the shot. If he retreated, he would occupy the space of Gerald and Garcia. The best choice was to go around with a large space.

The reason why the middle is crowded and tense is that it is easier to score goals and concede goals in the middle, and the chances of scoring away from the middle are reduced. Now his injury has just recovered and he does not have the right to move freely in the frontcourt. There is also the striker Kuyt who scores the most goals in the middle, so he can only accept the coach's arrangement to go to the sidelines to create opportunities for Kuyt and other midfielders.

However, the side road is not a Feng Shui treasure land. After Chen Yu went to the side road, Portsmouth did not relax at all in his defense, and he still guarded and assisted him.

Although Benitez and Liverpool players now believe that Chen Yu has just recovered from injury and is not as good as Kuyt and Crouch, Portsmouth players do not think so. In their minds, Chen Yu is the most dangerous person. As long as he is given a chance, he can score the ball. Although Kuyt scored 5 goals, the most among Liverpool strikers, there are many opportunities to score. Kuyt cannot grasp it and his efficiency is incomparable to 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 among Liverpool teams. Now the league has played 14 rounds, four strikers Kuyt scored 5 goals, Crouch scored 2 goals, Bellamy and Fowler both had only 1 goal, and although Chen Yu only played in this game for 25 minutes, he also scored one goal. It is not surprising that Portsmouth valued him so much.

Today, Chen Yu was bound to the consciousness of Swedish star Larson and Spanish star Vicente. He was not at all uncomfortable when he came to the wing. He switched to Vicente's consciousness. He was the top European winger. However, on the left, he and Pennant also had problems.

Pennant is more direct on the side. After playing two and one with Chen Yu, he likes to pass the ball directly without any change. Chen Yu is bound to the consciousness of Spanish players. He has many ideas on the side, and can pass the ball or cut in, and even makes a ball to the top of the penalty area. However, after Chen Yu and Pennant cooperate, they found that the ball was passed and could not come back. As a result, they almost all Pennant transformed into a cross-border maniac and kicked the ball into the middle of the penalty area.

Obviously, this effect is not good. Portsmouth is a typical Premier League team, with excellent air defense and good physical confrontation. There is also the original world's top player Campbell in the central defender position. Crouch is 2.02 meters tall and is already very good. However, it was replaced by Chen Yu because of insufficient physical confrontation and inability to exert its air superiority. Now, no matter how many passes Pennant passes on the wing, Kuyt can't compete for a few goals in the middle.

The commentators on the scene were anxious for Chen Yu. He shouted in the microphone that Pennant and Chen Yu would cooperate, but Pennant could not hear it, and he would not pass it even if he heard it. In his opinion, the wing forward was to use it for crossing. Of course, he had the opportunity to pass it. If he had the opportunity to pass it back to Chen Yu, what would he do? Isn't it too much to take off his pants and fart?

Chen Yu and Pennate cooperated for five minutes and could no longer stand it. He felt that working alone would be better than Pennate's kick into the penalty area and letting his teammates go to the police.

In the 81st minute of the game, Chen Yu received a split from the middle, but did not pass it to the forward Pennant who was frantically inserted again. He dribbled the ball directly to the bottom line. Seeing that Chen Yu did not pass this time, Pennant had to brake and respond to Chen Yu from behind.

Chen Yu faced full-back Glenn Johnson suddenly changed direction and cut into the penalty area. When Johnson moved his body, he then dunked back and rushed to the bottom line again.

Glen Johnson is 22 years old this year. He turns out to be a Chelsea player. He is loaned to Portsmouth this season. Although he cannot gain a foothold in Chelsea, where big names are gathered, being able to transfer to Chelsea is enough to show the player's strength and potential. Faced with Chen Yu's two directional changes, Johnson was passive but did not lose his position. He still followed Chen Yu.

After Chen Yu reached the bottom line, he did not pass the ball directly like Pennant, but stopped again. While Johnson was not firmly in his foothold, he spiked the ball and rushed into the penalty area again.

If it was Chen Yu before the injury, he had a very fast breakthrough. Johnson had to do his best to keep up. However, Chen Yu was worried about his ankle and did not dare to run with all his strength. He was still a little overweight and was afraid that he would hurt his ligament when he was in a hurry to stop, so Johnson did not completely lose his center of gravity. When Chen Yu was spiking into the penalty area, Johnson followed with a flying tackle behind him, shoveling the ball away, and also shoveling Chen Yu to the edge of the penalty area.

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

But referee Alanvilli ignored Chen Yu who was lying on the ground, but let Liverpool make a corner kick.

Since the beginning, the players of Portsmouth have been delaying their time. Now that the game is 81 minutes, they hope to get entangled with Liverpool players. Although Chen Yu felt a little hurt on his heel, he jumped after his teammates helped him up. He didn't find any problems and waved his hand to Gerald and others, "I'm fine, play quickly."

The Liverpool players were also anxious. Seeing that Chen Yu was fine, Gerald did not be polite to Chen Yu anymore and quickly walked towards the corner kick area. Other players also came to the penalty area to prepare for the spot.
