Football’s First Defender

The offensive and defensive performance of the two sides at the last moment before halftime further strengthened Hiddink's tactical arrangement for the second half!

Don't worry about the defensive counterattack. Although Chelsea still have a weak lead in away goals, but in terms of the defensive state of the Chelsea players in this game, Hiddink feels that if he continues to stick to the defensive counterattack tactics, Liverpool will really win today. It is very likely that just like this at Stamford Bridge, the miracle reversal will be completed again!

Rather than handing over the initiative to Liverpool, it is better for their own team to directly take over the initiative of the offense, with offense, against offense, and see who has the stronger offensive firepower!

Although he didn't want to admit it, Hiddink felt that he had dug a hole for himself by choosing such a conservative defensive counterattack strategy at the beginning of the game, allowing Liverpool to regain their offensive state in a short period of time in the first half!

Now Hiddink only hopes that his players can perform equally well on the offensive end so that Chelsea can win this game! Advance to the Champions League semi-finals!

Perhaps Hiddink's choice was right. Chelsea's defense in this game, that is, the opening 10 minutes, still maintained an excellent level, but the overall excellent defense cannot conceal the problem that some players are not in their own state!

As soon as the second half of the game started, Chelsea once again encountered a shocking scene!

"The second half of the game has begun!"

"Chelsea took the lead to kick-off and organize the attack, but Lampard's pass was obviously not controlled well, the power was a bit strong, and it passed directly out of bounds!"

"Liverpool reorganize their attack!"

"Carragher took the ball himself! He rushed to the midfield!"

"Seeing that Anelka was about to rush to the position to try to steal the ball, Carragher made a straight pass and passed the ball to Lucas who had already run to Chelsea's 30-meter area in front of him!"

"Lucas took the pass directly, then flicked his ankle, and suddenly stuffed the ball into the open space on the left side of the penalty area!"

"Benayoun, who had already moved to the middle area before, succeeded in anti-offside at this time, and went diagonally towards the through ball at full speed. Ivanovic chased after him, but he was still thrown away by a certain distance. Chelsea's The line of defense was pierced in an instant!"

"Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech! Facing this through ball at this moment, choose to take the initiative again!"

"But Cech! His attack speed is too slow, or Cech overestimated the speed of Lucas' through ball!"

"Seeing that Cech missed the ball by Benayoun by a full step, and he couldn't directly control the football, he could only half-squat and open his arms to defend the possible direct goal of Bayonne!"

"But Bayonne chose to continue to take a step towards the bottom line!"

"Cech tried to throw the ball down, but he didn't get it!"

"It's empty!"

Bayonna's waving ball directly knocked Cech down, and Bayonna, who controlled his body very well, strode to catch up with the football and wanted to hit the goal directly from a small angle!

However, the difference between a top superstar and an ordinary player is that a superstar can always discover and observe more things in a seemingly short period of time, and use his powerful body control ability to change his previous decision!

At the moment when Benayoun wanted to catch up with the football and finish hitting the goal, he saw that Yang Feng had already left Torres' defensive task to Alex, and he had already reached the goal line and acted as a goalkeeper. Benayoun knew his position This small angle hits the goal, because the angle is too small, even if the shot is within the range of the goal frame, it will definitely be intercepted by Yang Feng!

"Benayoun didn't directly choose to hit the goal, but turned around in the air and passed the ball to Aurelio who was plugging in from the left!"

Because after Cech attacked, everyone returned to the penalty area, and after Cech fell to the ground, he quickly stood up and ran towards the goal. The opportunity was fleeting!

There are as many as 6 Chelsea players in blue uniforms in the penalty area, and Liverpool are only supported by Torres and Dirk Dirk in the middle, and they are still firmly marked by Chelsea players!

Aurelio, at the critical moment, he chose to hit the goal by himself!

"Aurelio, after receiving the ball, he hit the goal with his left foot on the left side!"

"Dangling door!"

"Aurelio!"

Standing on the goal line, Yang Feng, acting as a "fake goalkeeper", saw Aurelio's kick, and quickly stepped back and ran towards the right post of the goal!

Although the ball was a little short of the goal in Yang Feng's judgment, Yang Feng still had to deal with it carefully!

Firstly, I am afraid that God will blow my breath, and an evil wind will blow the ball into the goal. Secondly, I am afraid that my teammates who point behind will make some troubles. Don't be scored by other Liverpool players!

fine! This time, Ashley Cole, firmly stuck in the position, successfully blocked Dirk Dirk from going forward from the right, and did not let him have a chance to shoot!

Aurelio's ball went slightly wide of the goal, and flew out of the baseline from about 10 centimeters from the right post of the goal!

"This lob shot was a little bit off! Right after the start of the second half, Cech's attack almost caused a big mistake again. Cech's attack timing was always misjudged today! The state is really bad!"

Petr Cech, who has been very stable throughout the season, unexpectedly performed abnormally in such a crucial knockout match of the Champions League. Yang Feng didn't understand what happened to his teammates? Logically speaking, Cech, as the goalkeeper of Chelsea, has even experienced the Champions League final, and has witnessed a lot of various big scenes, too many to count. Facing a quarter-elimination match, one should not be nervous!

Or off-court factors, family changes, or contract renewal issues. Anyway, Cech's performance today is definitely not in line with his strength, but maybe it is also a period of fluctuations in the status of pure players. Yang Feng can only let himself do better. The defensive end tries to destroy the opponent's offense as much as possible, instead of leaving some room for the goalkeeper to play as usual!

Turning around, Chelsea organized an attack. After Ivanovic stepped forward for an assist, he made a 45-degree cross from the right. Although Drogba and Anelka competed for the header in the penalty area, But the ball was finally cleared by Skrtel!

Chelsea and Liverpool, at the beginning of the second half of the game, the bayonets were popular, and they directly started the mutual explosion mode on the offensive end!

And Chelsea, at home, is obviously the luckier side!

In the 51st minute of the game, Chelsea organized an attack in the middle!

"Lampard took the ball near the center circle, but under the defense of Mascherano, he couldn't move the ball forward at all! I'm afraid there is even a danger of losing the ball!"

"Javier Mascherano's defense is really good, Lampard has to get the ball with his back, leaning against Mascherano with his body, waiting for his teammates to support!"

"Anelka retreated from the penalty area to the right. Lampard glanced at Anelka's position on the right after he came out to catch the ball, and passed the ball directly to Anelka!"

"Anelka, go straight to the speed after receiving the ball!"

"Because Benayoun didn't defend well, it was Anelka and Aurelio's 1v1 directly on the right!"

"Anelka, who is obviously tall and has long legs and outstanding explosive power, has the advantage. He directly overtakes on the outside forcibly. Aurelio has nothing to do!"

"Anelka! Throwing off Aurelio's defense, but also reached the bottom line after accelerating Superman!"

"Anelka, before the ball went out of the baseline, he twisted his body and forced a cross!"

"Anelka's speed just now was too fast, he didn't control the pass well!"

"Not to mention the height of the pass, the pass does not have the angle of the return pass, it is almost close to the bottom line and passed to the goal!"

"And the passing power is not enough!"

"Drogba can only rush to the front point at full speed from the middle position to fight for the ball!"

"Would Drogba pass to Malouda who moved from the left to the centre?"

"Drogba, relying on his strong body and carrying Carragher's defense, still took the lead in grabbing the position of the ball, pass the ball?"

"The door is open!"

"My God! Didier Drogba actually followed the trajectory of the ball and hit the goal directly when he was close to the baseline and had almost no angle of attack!"

"This ball!"

"Entered?"

"The ball went in!"

"Drogba! A magical operation!"

"In a position where it is impossible to score a goal, almost zero angle, Drogba hit the goal, and the goal went in!"

"Of course, Drogba's daring to hit the goal is part of the reason. Liverpool's goalkeeper Reina is definitely responsible for the goal! Reina is now kneeling in front of the goal, maybe he is regretting it!"

"We have to look at the replay now, whether this goal is Drogba's goal or Reina's own goal!"

"This shot, from the perspective of the previous broadcast, was almost close to the bottom line in the long view, but in the close-up slow motion playback, it was actually about 20 centimeters away from the bottom line! There is indeed a shooting angle, although This angle is also very small!"

"Carragher's follow-up defense is not a problem, he has been pestering Drogba, but at the last moment, Drogba chose to fall directly to the ground at such a small angle, instead of finding a way to catch the ball and pass it Maybe Carragher didn't expect Malouda who gave the ball back!"

"Drogba fell to the ground and hooked the shot! The ball was indeed going into the goal! Although in the end it was actually because Reina was in a panic, he wanted to save the save by falling to the ground, and he wanted to block it directly with his legs. I realized that I was in a downtime state in an instant, and Drogba's hit directly hit Reina's body and bounced into the goal!"

"Statistically, this goal should still be Drogba's goal, but it is undeniable that Reina definitely helped this goal!"

"Actually, even if Reina exerted a little force on the ball, the ball should have bounced out when it hit him. !"

"Chelsea! One goal back! Now the score is 1 to 2! The total score is 4 to 3, leading again!"
