Green Life

"Torres, he got a direct pass from Gerrard, Cech...", Peterson yelled, "Top goalkeeper, he came out very fast and cleared the ball away from the touchline"

In the chaotic battle just now, the ball just jumped to Gerrard's feet. He didn't stop the ball, but knocked it straight, and stuffed the ball to Torres in the rib.

"Gerrard passed the ball a little too fast and with a lot of power, otherwise Torres would have had a chance to reach it," McManaman said.

Peterson said with a smile: "Are you going to say that if it is Mark...", Zola was also amused. This sentence has indeed become McManaman's mantra in this game.

"I'm right," McManaman said with a smile. "In the Liverpool team, no one is better than Mark in terms of short and medium passes. Even in the entire Premier League, only Cesc Fabregas can compare with him." "

Of course, this is not wrong. U16's Aslit and U18's Hugh McAore gave him targeted special training. It has been like a day for several years. Even when he is in the reserve team, he has to take time to return to Kirkby. Spot checks are to solidify his foundation.

Mark Qin's talent, Kirkby's understanding of those coaches is much deeper than Melwood's. After all, it was brought up bit by bit from a young age. The best in thirty years.

Peterson didn't say anything. Why doesn't he want Mark to play frequently? Most of the 22 players on the field are superstars, but he can explain how to play with his eyes closed. There is no surprise. If Mark is on the field Up is different.

The taste of this product has also been cultivated by Mark. There are a few creative stars in the world. Most of them are products of the youth training production line. They have distinctive characteristics and rely on their strength.

Why are there so many creative midfielders from Brazil and Argentina? Obviously, it’s because most of them came from playing streetball. is unique.

"The game has been going on for almost 30 minutes, and the two teams are still 0:0." Peterson did not forget his duties and brought the topic back to the game in a timely manner.

"Together we walk through the storm..."

The Liverpool fans in the stands spare no effort in their support. Even if you really don’t play well, they will still support you without reservation, but they are not like Real Madrid’s Meilinger, who raise their tastes so much and play badly. To be booed.

"I think 0:0 is possible in the whole game", McManaman complained habitually. He is a technical star himself, and he personally prefers offense. Of course, he doesn't like to watch defense.

"Then let's pray that whoever scores the first goal from the two teams will see some of them." Zola didn't know that his words today had boundless magic power, and he went straight to Pele.

When the game progressed to the 35th minute, Alonso received the ball from the backcourt and made an over-the-top pass, and sent it to the front of Dirk, who was inserted from Chelsea's full-back and central defender. The ball was passed very well. It shows Alonso's skillful long pass skills.

But Terry is very experienced. Seeing that Dirk was the first to start, it was difficult for him to turn around and catch up. When the ball was on the ball, Cech who was attacked directly confiscated the ball.

Therefore, talent is a part of defense. Experience and the tacit understanding of the whole team are more important. The defense of the Chelsea group has been trained by Mourinho for several seasons. Coupled with the tacit understanding of the staff playing together for many years, it is indeed strong. There is a strong reason for that.

Cech hugged the ball and threw it directly to Ashley Cole on the left. This counterattack consciousness has been firmly instilled in their minds, because Liverpool's right winger Dirk Dirk is still by his side.

"Cech directly confiscated Alonso's pass and threw it to Ashley Cole, who was advancing with the ball," Peterson said. This situation often happens on both sides today, and he did not What a wonderful scene.

Ashley Cole advanced to the midfield, and after the replacement Gerrard came up, he turned and pushed the ball across to Makelele, and continued to insert himself.

Dirk did not come back after returning to the defense. Gerrard then filled him up on the wing. Dirk quickly made a defensive change and ran towards Makelele.

The reason why Makelele is known as the best defensive midfielder today is not only because of his defensive skills and coverage area, the key point is that he rarely concedes the ball and has a certain ability to advance.

He looked up and saw that Gerrard and Ballack had pushed back the two remaining Liverpool midfielders, and immediately dribbled the ball forward. The position he chose was still the combination of Alonso and Mascherano.

When Makelele came out of the middle circle, Alonso had no choice but to go up, otherwise it would be even more dangerous to let him drive straight in and run directly to the 30-meter area.

Alonso pressed forward, and Carragher naturally followed to defend Gerrard. At this moment, Makelele made a good pass.

He went over the top and found Carragher's back directly, while Malouda cut from Arbeloa's side, successfully reversed offside, and went straight to the sideline rib area of ​​Liverpool's penalty area.

"Makelele, he made a good pass, and Malouda threw Arbeloa away," Peterson finally saw some exciting scenes.

The moment the ball went over the top, Liverpool's back line seemed to be facing a formidable enemy, but their excellent defensive quality still kept them from panicking.

Arbeloa chases after him.

Carragher turned and chased.

Skrtel gave up Drogba to the front point to block.

Mascherano hastened to the front of Drogba to prevent him from grabbing points.

However, Chelsea did not know how many times they had such counterattack opportunities. Malouda tried hard to catch up with the ball, without even looking at the penalty area, and directly made a dunk pass with his left foot.

The ball passed Skrtel's feet and went straight to Ballack at the top of the arc in the penalty area. He was empty!

"Malouda catches the ball and passes back to the top of the penalty area, Ballack...", Peterson yelled.

Benitez clenched his hands on the sidelines, his heart thumped, and a sense of danger spread all over his body. Ballack raised his arms, swung his thick right leg, turned slightly sideways, and "bang" against the incoming ball. All in one body, with all the strength in his body, he kicked the ball.

"Barack..., long shot...", Peterson seemed to use all his strength to reflect the strength of the ball.

The ball turned into a white light and went straight to the left side of the goal. As far as Ballack is concerned, his condition after arriving at Chelsea is far worse than in Germany, so his long-range shot is fast, and the angle is not very tricky.

When Malouda made a pass back, Reina was ready for a long-range shot. Seeing the ball fly from Ballack's feet, he kicked his left leg and flew sideways.

"Reina, a beautiful save, his reaction is quite...Joe Cole...follow-up shot...Goal...al...al", a series of commentary words from Peterson popped out of his mouth.

Reina's pounced on the ball, but because the ball was too fast, he was not so accurate in judging the position of the ball, so he didn't pounce with his hands, and it directly hit his flying thigh and bounced towards the small penalty area near the goal post. , just being watched by Joe Cole.

Joe Cole made a subconscious block with his left foot, and the ball flew directly into the goal from above the falling Reina.

"Joe Cole ... he scored a valuable away goal for Chelsea, Liverpool were passive," continued Peterson.

"This ball," McManaman shook his head. "Chelsea's counterattack was too fast. The most important thing is that they didn't expect Makelele to pass such a penetrating overhead pass."

Benitez raised his arm depressingly, and he went in from the middle, and then he went in from the middle. This is what he arranged for a long time to defend, but he was caught by their two world-class central midfielders.

Ma Keqin also patted his seat depressedly. Against a team like Chelsea, he conceded an away goal, and the game has entered the difficulty of hell. These blue demons, playing a defensive counterattack, are better than Liverpool. Still firm.

Even if he can come off the bench, it will be extremely difficult to score goals.

"Ah...", Joe Cole went to the sidelines to celebrate and cheer excitedly. Whether they can score in the semi-finals or score away from home will lay a huge advantage for them to advance to the final.

The decibels in the entire Anfield suddenly dropped. Obviously, most fans also know what it means to be scored an away goal by Chelsea.

Benitez paced back and forth a few times on the sidelines irritably, pressed his hands down and shouted to the inside: "Steady, don't be impatient, and prevent the ball from being lost before half-time."

There are still about eight minutes before the first half of the game. The players on the Liverpool field are indeed a little frustrated, but the opposite is also an old opponent, and they quickly adjusted.

When the half-time whistle blew, they did concede no more goals, but they didn't play any decent offense.

Looking at the Liverpool players walking towards the channel, McManaman said: "Liverpool must find a way to score in the second half. If Chelsea take the score of 1:0 to their home court, everyone knows what it means."

Benitez really wants to attack, but how to attack is another problem. These players on the field are the best offensive lineup that can be dispatched on the basis of a solid defense.

If he concedes another goal in the second half for the sake of offense, then this round of the series will be completely over, so he looked around during the intermission, and finally decided not to make substitutions for the time being.

This made Mark Qin very disappointed.

When we were behind, the halftime time passed quickly, because I felt that there were too many things to say, and Benitez explained everything in detail. It felt like the fourth referee came Urged out.

"Benitez still didn't make substitutions in the second half, and he still believed in his formation in the first half," Peterson said while watching the field.

"Maybe he is also in a dilemma. Now Liverpool are more afraid of losing the ball than Chelsea," Zola said.

The second half started as scheduled, and Chelsea obviously recovered a bit more than the first half. It seemed that they were determined to fight Liverpool's counterattack, and Liverpool had no good way.

Once Chelsea wants to defend, it will be difficult for Barcelona to score, let alone Liverpool now, they can only rely on non-stop invalid crosses and long shots from Gerrard and Alonso.

"Javier Mascherano, good shot, oops, it was too dangerous just now, if Joe Cole passed by, it is very likely that Drogba will be able to single-handedly..." The game went on to the 68th minute, and the score was still 1 :0, Chelsea lead, just now a Chelsea counterattack, quite dangerous.

"Benitez changed, Benayoun replaced Aurelio," Peterson said.

"Why don't you let Mark come on?" McManaman questioned. "Mark's footwork is better than Benayoun's crosses from the wing."

But no one knew what Benitez was thinking. As time passed, Liverpool's patience began to gradually decrease. Gerrard had already fired two long-range shots hastily and fired anti-aircraft guns.

Benayoun's inward dribbling did not create any opportunities for the team. The time has reached the 76th minute, leaving less and less time for Liverpool.

Benitez looked at his watch and finally made the most important substitution of the game. He asked Sammy Lee to call Mark Qin, but before he could give any details, he said directly: "Mark, you go up and replace Torres."

Torres' physical energy has been almost exhausted, and now that Chelsea has shrunk its defense, it doesn't make much sense for him to stay on the field.
