Football’s First Defender

For Torres, he thought he could do more than he could do! Although the kick just now hit the goal, I can also take another step in the running, slow down a little, swing my legs, and increase the power of the shot!

But the time to complete all these actions will definitely take more preparation time, which will also increase the chances of being caught up by Yang Feng and Terry who rushed over from the other side to complete the blocked shot!

Therefore, Torres did not regret choosing the way of poking and shooting. This is the best choice for a striker at the moment of hitting the goal. Although the strength is not strong, the shooting angle is tricky enough to avoid the goalkeeper's save and roll towards the goal. However, Yang Feng's goal turned out to be to clear the siege directly on the goal line, instead of rushing to block himself!

Tens of thousands of Liverpool fans on the sidelines sighed. This may be Liverpool's most threatening attack in the second half of the game, but the team still hasn't scored a goal!

This made Yang Feng, who blocked the must-goal, become the target of the fans on the scene to vent their anger. The noise came, and every time Yang Feng touched the ball, there would be boos all over the sky, but Yang Feng turned a deaf ear to it! Anyway, my English is not very good, my brain doesn't force translation, so it's okay to be noisy, it's okay!

The game continues, but as the game time goes by, Chelsea's players will inevitably experience a decline in physical fitness!

At this time, Liverpool, who are playing at home, have obviously regained the initiative to attack and can create more offensive opportunities!

There is no way, for professional players, although their mental quality is excellent, but under the interference of tens of thousands of home fans from their opponents, it is more or less affected. Mental fatigue will also be exerted on the body , allowing players to consume more energy during running!

In addition, during the second half, Chelsea was already in a defensive counterattack situation, and the initiative was in the hands of Liverpool, which naturally caused Chelsea's defense to always be in a state of tension, and they had to run constantly to maintain the defensive formation!

But the decline in physical fitness can't change Chelsea's dedication to defensive quality!

Physical strength has declined, so rely on appropriate fouls to ensure the quality of defense! Anyway, Chelsea's players are not afraid of the opponent's set-piece tactics. The absolute advantage of the high ball competition for the top also provides a firm guarantee for Chelsea's foul tactics!

First, Kalou was defending on the right side, because the Liverpool Brazilian left-back Aurelio used a fake move to pass cleanly. In desperation, Kalou could only choose to use fouls to block instead of letting Aurelio Rio breaks through the past, and Riera poses greater danger to Ivanovic!

The referee did not ignore this foul that obviously meant blocking tactics, and directly warned Kalu with the topaz card!

Liverpool was on the left side and won a well-positioned set-kick!

This time, the Liverpool players want to try to see if they can use this excellent free kick position to allow their players to complete the header!

Due to the free kick at this position, a big arc can be circled. This time, the header competition in the penalty area needs to be completed while running forward. Chelsea's height advantage, under this kind of pass, is The smallest advantage ever!

Skrtel, Carragher, Dirk, and even Gerrard have entered the penalty area, eager to try!

The Chelsea players were also concentrated, staring at Harvey Alonso who was serving!

"Javi Alonso, run up, pass!"

"A big arc! Fly to the rear point of the small restricted area!"

"For this ball, Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech has no time to attack, so he can only rely on the headers between the players to fight for it!"

"Both sides squeezed to the back position!"

"Among the crowd, the most prominent one is Yang Feng!"

Yang Feng's high jump after the run-up! When the forward jump reached the highest point, his head just touched the football, and the ball was directly pushed out of the bottom line to complete the clearance! And Yang Feng left and right, whether it was Skrtel or Gerrard, although they both wanted to compete for the top, they all became Yang Feng's defeated opponents!

"Yang Feng cleared with a header, Liverpool's corner kick!"

Perhaps it is also with the passage of time, or it is a pity that the opportunity just now, for Liverpool, the impatience on the offensive end is inevitable!

In this corner kick, Liverpool did not choose to continue the previous tactical corner kick, but Xavi Alonso also drove the ball into the penalty area!

"In the penalty area, Skrtel is fighting for a header with Terry!"

"The two fought evenly! This ball Skrtel scored a header from a high point and hit Terry's head. It was higher than the crossbar and the bottom line. Continue Liverpool's corner kick!"

In the simple corner kick tactics, it is obvious that Liverpool is still at a disadvantage. At this time, some special tactics are needed to see if they can achieve unexpected results!

"This time, Harvey Alonso chose to send the ball out of the penalty area, a sudden choice, directly looking for Gerrard at the top of the penalty area!"

"Gerard opened up his posture and stood ready!"

"When the ball hits the leg, it doesn't stop and volleys!"

"Gerald!"

"Reproduce the classic corner kick connection between Scholes and Beckham?"

"The ball went to the right of the goal! No one interfered in the middle! Another classic moment?"

"Cech!"

"Another ruthless rejection of this wonderful long-range shot! In this game, Petr Cech was on the goal line, and I don't know how many times he broke it. Liverpool hit the goal very wonderfully!"

"This time, Cech guarded the gate behind him again, and once again shattered the hopes of the Liverpool people!"

"Cech blocked the ball out of the bottom line with a single palm after landing. It is still Liverpool's corner kick opportunity, the third corner kick opportunity in a row!"

Petr Cech's brave performance obviously put a lot of pressure on Liverpool's offensive players. Logically speaking, this kind of chain corner kick should have been the attacking side's momentum, and it should attack wave after wave to crush the opposing defense. Chance!

But at this moment, the Liverpool players are a little bit discouraged because of the continuous attack to no avail, especially the ruthless refusal of Gerrard's world wave just now!

In the end, Xavi Alonso, who chose to send the ball into the penalty area again, watched Yang Feng helplessly, and succeeded in the header again, but this time, because Yang Feng had less interference around him, he had room to pass the ball Give it to your companions instead of going out directly!

"Yang Feng competed for this corner kick and directly passed the ball to Kalou who came back from the defense on the right. Chelsea's counterattack opportunity!"

"Return to the defense!" Benitez on the sidelines shouted to his players to return to the defense quickly, and don't leave Chelsea with a chance to counterattack!

However, Chelsea have been waiting for this counterattack opportunity for a long time, and finally caught it, so how could they easily miss it?

"After Kalu got the ball himself, he went straight forward at full speed!"

"Liverpool is defending at the back with its two full-backs. Aurelio stepped forward, hoping to stop Kalou!"

Seeing that Aurelio wanted to stop his dribbling with the intention of fouling, Kalu is also a veteran on the offensive end, so naturally he would not give him the opportunity to end this counterattack with a yellow card!

"Kalou, choose to pass the ball back directly to Ballack who also came forward at full speed!"

"On the other hand, I continued to follow the right path, heading towards the hinterland of Liverpool!"

After receiving the ball, Ballack was also watching the front while continuing to run forward, to see whether Kalu's side had a better chance, or Malouda on the left could compete with Arveiroa's In the middle, occupy a better advantage!

Of course, Ballack is also avoiding being caught up by Liverpool players and being fouled to waste this excellent 3v2 counterattack opportunity!

The other players, both offensive and defensive, are desperately rushing into Liverpool's penalty area. At this time, no one can slow down, and everyone is desperate. Liverpool's current situation, especially the third conceded goal, cannot be tolerated!

Ballack finally chose to pass the ball to Kalou's side who continued to advance!

Malouda didn't completely get rid of Arbeloa this time, but Aurelio's personal defensive ability was weaker. Ballack chose to believe in Kalu's ability!

"Barack, passed a through ball to the right, a big lead, Kalou and Aurelio directly competed for absolute speed on the right!"

"Because Aurelio is already the last defender besides the goalkeeper at this moment, he doesn't dare to make a flagrant foul, otherwise he may be directly called a red card!"

"In terms of speed, because the through ball is closer to Kalu's side, Kalu obviously has an absolute advantage!"

"After receiving the ball! Kalou slowed down and turned around!"

"Aurelio retreat quickly!"

"But it was a fake move. After Kalu tricked Aurelio, he continued to play!"

"The fastest follow-up in the middle is of course Ballack! But Liverpool's Lucas is also desperately chasing back, trying to limit Ballack's response in the penalty area!"

"After Kalu hit the bottom, there should be no other choice but to cross!"

"Barack rush forward!"

"Kalou made a cross!"

The ace substitute players of each team have their own philosophy of survival. Although they may not be able to become the main force of the team most of the time, they definitely have their own special features that allow the head coach At that moment, I immediately thought of him!

Kalu is such a striker, although he can't stand shoulder to shoulder with a superstar like Drogba, but Kalu has excellent and stable shooting ability, not bad side breakthrough ability, coupled with the critical moment, his passing is finally Being able to find the weakest point of the opponent's defense and find the most critical offensive player of your own is enough on the court!

"This ball, for Ballack in the previous point, Kalou's pass was too high!"

"Behind!"

"The space near the penalty spot!"

"Drogba!"

"Drogba is running at full speed!"

When defending the corner kick just now, Drogba started to run forward with all his strength and was ready to participate in the counterattack when he saw Yang Feng was fighting for the corner kick!

Although the distance from one penalty area to another is a bit long, but Drogba thought that he had not scored a goal in this game, but wasted a lot of opportunities, so he naturally became motivated, and he wanted to justify himself !

Players on both sides are desperately chasing back, but in fact, in everyone's thinking, they all think that the most threatening point of offense is the three players who run in front of Chelsea. After Ballack passed the ball to Kalu, Liverpool's Arveiroa followed Malouda, and Lucas desperately chased back. Finally, he caught up with Ballack who was interfering with all his strength, or Kalu himself did it alone. However, with Kalu's bottom, passing is inevitable, so the Liverpool players just have to be optimistic about the two Chelsea players in the penalty area!

Ballack, who rushed forward, was still Malouda, who was still moving from the left to the middle!

But for Drogba, except for Gerrard, no one really noticed him and restricted him!

After all, the two central defenders facing Drogba are still returning to defense at full speed because of the corner kick tactics just now, but it is a fact that the speed is too slow to catch up, and they are still eating ashes!

Now, within the penalty area, there is an empty space in the middle, just waiting for Drogba to take advantage of it!

"Wow! Didier Drogba! Come here with great strides and jump straight away!"

"Leap high, keep your balance in the air, and hit the top with a header!"

"Reina, quickly jump to the right, soar into the air and make a side attack!"

"But Drogba's header is under the accumulation of kinetic energy, speed, strength, and angle are all outstanding!"

"Go straight to the upper left corner of the goal! Reina, who jumped to his right hand to save, can only look at the ball and sigh!"

"GOAL!"

"Drogba! Ivory Coast Warcraft Drogba!"

"Fantastic header from box to box!"

"Scored the third goal of the game for Chelsea!"

"Chelsea is now leading the score 3-1!"

"This is Liverpool's home court! At Anfield! Liverpool was almost in desperation in the first leg!"

In the 78th minute of the game, Drogba's header not only killed the suspense of this game, but may also completely kill the suspense of promotion in the two rounds! With the advantage of two goals and three away goals, back at Stamford Bridge, Liverpool fans can no longer accept this fact!

Chelsea, with their targeted tactics and three headers, completely penetrated Liverpool's defense!

The Chelsea players were celebrating, Hiddink was smiling on the sidelines, and the Chelsea fans on the away team were bursting into cheers. Only the red fans who dominated the stadium were a little bit sad!

And Drogba, the hero who scored the goal, was a little relieved! Although the team has always maintained the lead before, the several excellent opportunities he missed have been stuck in Drogba's throat like a fishbone. Now, with this goal, he can finally rest assured Shout out, let's celebrate!
