Chapter 176: Liverpool's counterattack

Côte d’Ivoire’s Warcraft Drogba, in this game, seems to have lost his shooting boots, on the offensive end there is really no luck!
This time with a counterattack opportunity, Drogba has the upper hand in the fight against Carragher again, and Skrtel is also attracted by Malouda’s breakthrough to defend. It can be said that there is no interference from anyone else. Below, Drogba abruptly wasted another great opportunity, and missed this opportunity created by Malouda!
Perhaps it was due to the fact that Drogba's body was still in the state of previous confrontation when he finally hit the goal, and his strength was crossed!
Anyway, Hiddink just stared at Drogba eagerly, hoping that he could expand Chelsea's lead, but in the end he could only turn around in annoyance and didn't want to see this scene!
However, Chelsea's counterattack did indeed scare Benitez and made him sweat!
But if you are afraid of fear, be afraid of fear! Benitez can only hold it back!
Now that the score is lagging behind at home, Liverpool can't tolerate any more step-by-step, steady play! If you haven't seized the time to attack at your home court, score goals, equalize or reverse the score, should you go to the more difficult away Stamford Bridge and try your luck in the cheering shouts of the opponent fans?
Benitez can only choose to continue to keep his players offensive, that is to attack, or desperately strive to tie the score!
"Liverpool still wants to attack on the left side!"
"It's just that, with the result of the last time I forcefully broke through Ivanovich, Riera is no longer as big as before!"
"Riela is now playing off the ball, handing the ball from the left to the Brazilian Aurelio, the left back who was inserted to participate in the attack, and he is cruising in Ivanovic without the ball. By your side, always ready to accelerate and get rid of Ivanovic's defense!"
Ivanovic had to follow Riera at this time, but also to take care of Aurelio in front of him. After all, his own forward Kallu could come back to defend, but let a striker defend Brazil. People, even if the Brazilian is just a full-back, no one knows if Kalu can withstand Aurelio's attack! The Brazilian offense can be understood from the work done by the Brazilian goalkeeper. This is a country that integrates offensive attributes into its bones!
In fact, Ivanovic has to worry about himself even more!
"Aurelio, after taking the ball on the left, paused to look for opportunities, and suddenly picked a pass!"
"Riela speeds up in an instant and throws off Ivanovic! Quickly ran behind him!"
"This ball should not be offside!"
"Ivanovic, quickly turn around and chase, but, in a pure speed competition, it is not only a backhand to deal with, because Ivanovic also needs to add a turning action, naturally slowing Liella a distance!"
"This ball depends on how Riera's stop is going!"
As he was defending the position, Yang Feng was not only watching Torres, but also paying attention to the defensive posture of his right side, and he was in a position that he could support at any time!
Therefore, during the intermission, when Liverpool lay out offensive tactics for Ivanovic, Benitez actually emphasized that the through ball can try to pass to the penalty area to find opportunities, but it takes enough time to pick a pass. Don’t pass to the penalty area and give Yang Feng the defensive data!
When Aurelio took the ball just now, he saw that the gap in the penalty area was not big enough to be suitable for a through ball, and his level of through ball was not so good, so he went straight to Ivanovic. Behind him, a kick came to pick a pass, and the rest was handed over to his teammates, and he chose the offensive method!
"Riela, stopped the football directly deep on the left, do you want to cut inside the penalty area?"
"Ivanovich, instead of running to the Riera, he turned and ran to a deep position before, just to protect the restricted area and not be broken by Liera!"
"Now, Riera is heading again, facing Ivanovic!"
"Also, Essien in the middle is already close to Ivanovic's side, and he wants to find a chance to make up his defense!"
Ivanovic's height and long legs have given full play to his physical advantage in wing defense. Originally, Riera wanted to find a chance to pass the half-high ball, allowing Torres to play his own advantage in the penalty area. After all, simply passing the high ball, under the defense of Yang Feng and Terry, Liverpool's Torres and Kuyt In fact, there is no guarantee of winning the header!
Therefore, for Liverpool’s wing, Benitez has also made a request, unless there is a loophole in the opponent’s defense in the penalty area, or there is a huge gap, try not to simply pass the high ball, and try to use the ground ball. Sweep pass, or half high ball, to give play to the advantage of your own players to grab points, not the disadvantage of header!
But now, almost all of the angles at which Riera passes the ball are blocked by Ivanovic’s body. Some of the angles that are not blocked and exposed, even if the ball is passed, it may be reflected by Iraq. Vanovic moved his body to block it!
Riera gave up his idea of ​​passing the ball into the penalty area at the beginning and turned to find a new solution!
Riella's eyes swept to the front of the big restricted area, because Essien had just recovered and revealed a small empty area!
Although there are currently no Liverpool players in that area, Riella believes that when his pass is in place, there should be players who can rush to that position!
A decision was made in an instant, and Riera passed the ball without hesitation!
"Riela, on the left, choose to pass!"
"He didn't pass the ball directly into the penalty area, but turned the ball in the triangle and swept it into the Chelsea penalty area. Just before Essien withdrew back, there was a gap left!"
"Gerard!"
"Quickly plug in! Respond to Lieira's pass!"
"Essien has reacted and quickly rushed back to the straight forward position, and Barack, who is responsible for defending Gerrard, is also chasing Gerrard's side!"
"Gerard one-on-two, this one! Is there a chance?"
"Barack's flying shovel! Essien's flying body is blocked in the front!"
"But Gerrard has a fierceness at the moment, and he doesn't give in directly. He hits the door first!"
For Gerrard, the opportunity to shoot is the most important thing. For other things, the defensive action of the defensive player is not important. Now, the main goal is to hit the goal, to shoot the ball into the goal, to help The team equalized!
"An angry shot at the ball! Gerrard!"
Essien’s flying block did not stop the football. Essien himself retraced a little bit deep. When he ran back, he still had a distance of two steps. The shot path of this ball happened to bypass Essien!
Seeing that Gerrard had finished hitting the goal, Ballack still straightened his toes while flying out, and studs the shoes down towards the ground. Although the tackle was already done and he could not close his foot, Ballack was Unlike the bad guys in football, under normal circumstances, he is unwilling to make hurtful actions. After putting away the studs, he should not cause too much damage to Gerald!
Gerrard fixed his eyes on the football he shot. Although he deliberately avoided Ballack's tackle from the side and back, he ran with all his strength just now and made a shot at high speed. The inertia caused has already made himself in the air. , Can no longer make other evasive actions!
Gerrard only felt that his perspective had changed and he was directly shoveled to the ground by Barack, but Gerrard, who was lying on the ground, still stared at the direction of the goal!
"Give me in!"
Gerald shouted in his heart!
It's just a pity that Gerrard's kick is not unsatisfactory. For this shot, Gerrard can't be said to be desperate, but sometimes the wonderful performance is corresponding to both sides!
Although Gerrard hits the goal with this kick, it is full of strength and the angle is considered tricky~EbookFREE.me~ But from Riella back to the penalty area, then Gerrard ran over to catch the ball and hit the goal. Give the goalkeeper enough reaction time!
As a world-class goalkeeper, Cech is not comparable to those of other team's background goalkeepers. Cech is famous for his stability! For the long-range save, it is even more important!
You know, the essence of long shots is always sudden. For a world's top goalkeeper, when dealing with this kind of open posture and having sufficient preparation time for long shots, unless it is a football flight that encounters a player. Change the situation, otherwise, even if you can't reach it, you should be able to block it out with your palm!
Gerrard's long shot, because the passing distance is a bit long and the goal is very clear, Cech is ready!
When Gerrard took an angry shot at the goal, Cech had already flew forward, covering half of the goal on his right hand side!
"Cech!"
"Critical moment! Flying out!"
"Hang Gerrard's foot straight to the long shot in the upper left corner and hit it out!"
"It's just a pity that Gerrard hit the goal this time. Facing the front and back blocking of the two Chelsea players, he still grabbed the knife mountain and finished the goal!"
"No matter what! Cech's save was just as wonderful! Liverpool's corner kick!"
Because there are not many high points in the team, for Liverpool players, when serving a corner kick, most of them are still willing to issue a tactical corner kick to increase their chances of offensive penetration, instead of directly driving the corner kick to the penalty area and letting their own Two Zhongwei Bo luck!
Especially when facing a strong opponent Chelsea, Liverpool's players all understand that Chelsea is the only one in the Premier League in air defense. As far as Liverpool is concerned, there is no need to get rid of something that he is not good at!
