Vol 4 Chapter 738: Won!

Substitution?
That is for sure!
Hiddink has no doubt that he should now make a substitution.
Because there is not much time left for him!
With a total score of five to four, Liverpool scored four away goals. Chelsea had to draw two consecutive goals. If they didn't hurry, they would really be over.
But the question is, how do I change it? Who is replaced?
The frontcourt is definitely unmovable. Malouda, Drogba and Anelka are currently the strongest offensive combination in Chelsea. No matter who is replaced, it will seriously attack the team's confidence and fighting spirit.
This is the case with football games. Substitution often represents a signal given by the head coach. If Hiddink now replaces the offensive player, it will be interpreted as conservative by players, fans and the media. Fighting spirit.
Therefore, the frontcourt player cannot move, and the backcourt player cannot move.
The remaining options are three midfielders, Lampard is definitely immobile, only Barack or Essien.
The former has a high degree, the game played well, can pass the ball can be organized and can be inserted later, this game Chelsea's most threatening offense came from the counterattack Drogba passed the ball to Barak, but the result Reina Play well and save the ball.
Drogba's goal was accidental, and Barack's counterattack was Chelsea's most threatening attack.
More importantly, Barak has an absolute advantage in height. In the face of Liverpool, which has weak points against the high ball, the German has an advantage. As for Essien, the most important thing is his defense.
This purely defensive player is quite low-key in this game, but Yang Yang's role in the second half is also very obvious. If he is replaced, can the team's back line be kept?
It can be said that Chelsea has given the initiative to Liverpool step by step, and at the same time pushed itself to a dilemma.
No matter how you choose, there are huge risks.
Hiddink just hesitated a little and finally made a decision.
Soon, the Portuguese midfielder Deco, who was sitting on the bench, stood up and quickly ran out to warm up.
After Anelka came off the bench, Deco became the most aggressive and creative player in Chelsea's frontcourt.
...
"Chelsea is going to make substitution adjustments."
"We saw Deco warming up on the sidelines, it should be a substitution, but I don't know who Hiddink will choose to replace?"
"The current situation is very unfavorable for Chelsea, they must make changes as soon as possible."
"After switching to Deco, Chelsea have used two substitutions, but Benitez is now a substitution and it is useless, and the team's top center Crouch is still sitting on the bench. "
"Everyone has high hopes for Crouch, thinking that he will be a key to changing Liverpool's offense in this game, but Benitez has always refrigerated Crouch, which is completely unpredictable, he When will he be scheduled to play? "
"Taking advantage of the chance of a dead ball, the referee signaled a substitution."
"Deco replaced Essien!"
"This was a very risky substitution. Chelsea, one goal behind Liverpool and forced to draw two goals in the next game, had to continue to invest more on the offensive end and replaced the defensive midfielder Essien. And replaced Deco with greater creativity and better passing ability. "
"Obviously, this is a positive signal to strengthen the offensive in the frontcourt."
"And we can see that Liverpool are also actively preparing for substitutions."
"Croach came out of the bench!"
"Does Benitez plan to replace Crouch at this time?"
"This is really a cunning guy!"
...
When Hiddink saw Crouch standing on the sidelines, his entire face became very ugly.
He knew that Benitez had been waiting for him!
This insidious and subtle Spanish has been waiting for him to use the second substitution. The purpose of this is to facilitate him to replace Crouch and change the situation on the spot.
Hiddink was helpless because he fell into Benitez's calculations.
The Liverpool players headed by Yang Yang gave Benitez the confidence to plan the strategy, especially when Yang Yang equalized the score and assisted Harvey Alonso to reverse, but also gave Liverpool an advantage.
If you fall behind, you will be beaten, and passively you will be beaten.
Hiddink is now facing such a situation, he feels constrained everywhere.
Essien is off. Can the lines of defense of Ivanovic, Ales, Carvalho and Ashley Cole limit Yang Yang, Crouch and Kuyt?
Hiddink is not sure himself!
Especially Yang Yang, Ivanovic alone cannot stop him!
But no matter what, Hiddink went to the sidelines and reminded the players loudly, indicating that they should stabilize, especially the defense, must pay attention.
…………
…………
What is a master plan?
Yang Yang now really sees it!
Regardless of the tactical adjustment or the timing of substitutions, Benitez squeezed Hiddink, which caused Chelsea to lose its advantage step by step after losing the opportunity at the beginning of the game, and finally collapsed.
When Crouch stood on the sidelines, Yang Yang already had a strong feeling that Liverpool won the match.
The key is to be able to win a few goals!
He believes that not only does he feel this way, Liverpool players have this strong feeling.
Because in today's court, no one can stop Crouch, and as long as there is an English high guy holding the ball in the frontcourt, then Liverpool's offensive will be more threatening and more obvious.
The coach's confidence in adjusting tactics comes from the strength and performance of the players, and the coach's targeted tactical adjustments have brought stronger confidence to the players on the court, allowing them to play better and better, thus forming A virtuous circle.
...
Crouch replaced Benaillon.
The Israelis performed very well on the left, causing Ivanovic a lot of trouble.
Especially with the start of the second half, the Serbs gradually showed a sense of fatigue, obviously affected by three consecutive games, physical problems began to appear.
So after Crouch played, Benitez put the most threatening Yang Yang on the left.
Liverpool's intention is also very obvious, that is to attack Ivanovic.
Yang Yang feels very enjoyable, a little bit of revenge pleasure, because Anfield, Ivanovic's two scores a week ago, completely put Liverpool into hell.
And tonight, at Stamford Bridge Stadium, Liverpool will get the money from Ivanovic.
After Deco played, Lampard and Barak were more like dragging the midfield. Deco was alone in front of the pass and carding. Liverpool changed the tactics decisively. Gerrard and Xavi Alonso Moving forward, Mascherano dragged himself alone.
This is a very targeted midfield position. More importantly, Liverpool's set of midfielders is not only complementary, but the overall strength can almost be said to be the best in European football.
So, after the game restarted, Chelsea tried to pass the ball to the front court again and again, but it was difficult to pass the midfield.
Because Chelsea's organization and planning are still in the middle, Mascherano began to play his role as the world's top midfielder, just like a barrier, firmly defending in front of the team's defense.
Once the ball was scored, Liverpool immediately split into two wings and drove the attack from two sides.
There is always a man in Aveloa and Aurelio who are at the front and are in the gap.
Liverpool's play caused Chelsea to twist and play uncomfortably.
In the 75th minute, Liverpool made a quick attack to the frontcourt. When trying to make a breakthrough from the right side of Kuyt, Ashley Cole made a clearance and formed a foul ball.
Then Liverpool formed a threatening attack outside Chelsea's penalty area and successfully introduced the ball into the penalty area.
However, Carvalho decisively defended the front and blocked the ball before Crouch. Gerrard and Barack, Lampard and other players were forced to grab outside the penalty area. Ales successfully passed the ball to Deco.
The Portuguese midfielder turned the ball and quickly drove the ball forward. Under the interference of Xavi Alonso who was chasing all the way back, he wanted to pass directly to Drogba, but was intercepted and intercepted by Mascherano.
After Mascherano broke the ball, he took two steps forward and looked up, all of them were people, but he quickly found the pass line because he saw Yang Yang holding his right hand high and pointing to the left of the penalty area side.
As a result, the Argentine midfielder took a kick and passed the ball to the left of Chelsea's penalty area.
Yang Yang ran quickly to catch the ball, and when he turned around, Ivanovic and others had already returned to the defensive position.
Chelsea's defense is still very fast.
Yang Yang raised his right hand high, slowly wading down the ball, approaching Ivanovic step by step, the feeling was as if there was no Ivanovic in front of him.
The Serbs did not dare to venture forward, stepping back step by step, maintaining a certain distance.
He had suffered a great loss from Yang Yang, so he dared not mess up again.
To deal with players like Yang Yang, too close and too far will not work.
Chelsea's defense has returned to position, but Liverpool's offensive players have also come up.
When everyone saw Yang Yang's gestures, they were like enemies, and they dared not care.
Ivanovic stepped back and forth, and the whole person retreated into the restricted area line. He soon realized that he could not retreat anymore.
Yang Yang pressed tightly, and when he saw Ivanovic refused to retreat, he quickly started.
The Serbian defender only saw the silhouette before him, Yang Yang suddenly accelerated to start, full of explosive force, first a fake move to the bottom, and then the spiking momentum was inward, which made Ivanovic shocked.
The front of the penalty area on the left is the most threatening area for Yang Yang to take a kick.
The Serbian defender decisively chose to block, but Yang Yang suddenly dunked the ball with his right foot and started to accelerate towards the bottom line.
At that moment, Yang Yang threw away Ivanovic and crossed the left foot in front of the bottom line.
Crouch approached the point forward with a tacit understanding, seemingly going to catch Yang Yang's pass, scaring Ales and Carvalho to follow.
But what I didn't expect was that Yang Yang's biography actually fell behind.
Kuyt quickly plugged in, grabbing ahead of Ashley Cole, pressing England's left back and heading the ball from close range.
