Midfielder

Chapter 213

What kind of person can be called a demon? It seems that this definition is quite vague, but in Benítez's eyes, Mourinho is now a demon.

And he is the kind that crawled out of another world, because this guy is so wicked. After throwing Robben on the field, it was enough to give Benítez a headache for the team's defense. Now there is another Lin Yi on the field. Is this a damn way to make people live!

Robben and Duff have begun to gallop wantonly on the two sides, which has caused a lot of trouble for Liverpool's defense. But at least now with the excellent performance of Liverpool's goalkeeper and the assistance of two midfielders, even if it is a little shaky, they can finally defend their own goal.

But when Lin Yi ran on the field to replace Thiago, Benítez's shiny bald head was already covered with a layer of cold sweat.

Perhaps no one expected that after playing steadily for nearly half of the game, Mourinho would suddenly exert force when there was about half an hour left in the game.

Moreover, his sudden effort made him look very fierce. He actually took the initiative to break up the double defensive midfielders who were responsible for intercepting the opponent's pass in the midfield.

Forget the interception ability in the midfield, put all the defense on Makelele, replace Thiago, and start to strengthen his offensive ability.

Especially the control of offensive organization, what Lin Yi can do in the midfield, Benitez is quite clear, so he will be a little uneasy after Lin Yi comes on the court. This Spanish bald man is now thinking about how to deal with it quickly, and he also wants to change players.

Unfortunately, there is no guy who can compete with Lin Yi on the bench at Liverpool. Benitez is really envious and jealous.

Lin Yi's appearance is not only a big trouble, but Mourinho's lineup adjustment is what makes Benitez most worried. That guy clearly wants to attack.

Lampard was not replaced by Lin Yi as in the past, but was still lying in ambush behind Drogba. This arrangement made Benítez feel uneasy. The threats from the two sides have not been dealt with yet, and now the defense in the middle may be put to a severe test again.

Can you still expect Lin Yi to disappear after he comes on the court? That's a joke, this kid is waiting for such a big scene.

After holding back for most of the game, just like the first round of the league, as long as this kid is thrown on the court, the unlucky person must be Chelsea's opponent.

And Stamford Bridge has started to shout and sing wildly since the second Lin Yi came on the court, as if welcoming the kid to come on the court.

"Frank, the boss told me to tell you to stay near the penalty area. I will pass the ball in the midfield, and you just wait there to shoot through the goal."

Lin Yi's appearance also brought Mourinho's latest tactical arrangement. Just as Benítez saw, Lampard did not leave the penalty area.

This is also Mourinho's special arrangement. Since it is difficult for Lin Yi and Lampard to coexist in the midfield, it is better to let these two guys do their own jobs. Lampard's shooting ability is stronger, so let him be closer to the goal. Lin Yi's passing is more spiritual, so let him be in the midfield.

With Drogba's cover and high-point support, Lampard will definitely find more shooting opportunities, and Mourinho wants him to play like this.

To attack the opponent, not only must there be enough height in the penalty area, but also someone must be able to find opportunities in the chaos, especially those missed opportunities.

In this regard, Lampard is a good player, especially when both sides can attack strongly, he will have a lot of opportunities.

Originally, this lineup had been turned around in Mourinho's mind for several times after Robben returned, but he was still a little undecided whether to really use it in the game. However, Benitez's formation of wanting to win in a stable manner gave Mourinho enough reasons to take risks.

Especially after Robben came on the field, he disrupted Benítez's arrangement. He even threw Alonso to Lampard's side for close defense.

The layering of the double defensive midfielders was disrupted by Mourinho's double forward tactics. At this time, Mourinho sent Lin Yi without hesitation.

"Put pressure on the opponent within the range of 40 meters in front of the penalty area. I don't care whether you can deal with Gerrard or not. I don't want to lose this game."

This is what Mourinho said before Lin Yi came on the field, pulling him to his side and telling him that he wanted to open a gap for Liverpool in the middle while wreaking havoc on the wing. Since he was ready to bleed the Red Army at Stamford Bridge, there was no need to hide anything.

How ruthless, how ruthless! Three arrows were fired at the same time. This time, it was to kill Benítez. Mourinho was ready to kill his opponent.

Risky? Yes, Mourinho doesn't want the team to make mistakes against weak teams, but when facing strong teams, it's hard to get the results you want without taking risks. And Mourinho has his own views on the trend of the Premier League, and he knows when to take risks.

He didn't care much about the two consecutive draws, but in these strong dialogues, Mourinho needs to keep the team at its strongest, especially when facing direct competitors for the league championship. Don't lose to the opponent easily, whether away or at home, because it's about momentum.

Everyone knows that every league has a "small league of giants", and the Premier League is no exception. This kind of confrontation between giants is likely to determine the ownership of the championship.

Since the first day Mourinho coached Chelsea, he has made a clear goal. When facing teams such as Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool, he must not fail easily. When he can win, he must never pretend to be timid. He must completely eat and live with his opponents in this peak confrontation.

"We must play them so that they lose the courage to continue to fight against us. Even if we can't, we must let our opponents know that we Chelsea are not easy to mess with."

Having already defeated Manchester United, Liverpool is now Mourinho's second goal. The next opponent is Arsenal, which has remained unbeaten so far. Since he wants to conquer the Premier League. Then, these opponents are the thresholds that Chelsea must cross, even if it is very difficult, they must win.

Didn't those boring reporters say that Chelsea lacks some foundation? OK, then from now on, let the Blues defeat those of you who have foundation!

"Attack! Press on! I only need three points!" This is the first time Mourinho has stood on the sidelines and roared in this game.

In response to his roar, Chelsea's fierce attack was launched, and the boy that Benítez paid the most attention to became the commander of the general attack.

The freest area, the freest way of playing, Mourinho used the two wingers and Lampard's involvement to provide Lin Yi with enough space.

Leaving the sharpest knife in the weakest part of the opponent, Mourinho built the best stage for Lin Yi, allowing him to gallop freely.

Lin Yi would not waste Mourinho's painstaking efforts. After coming on the court, the boy's first touch of the ball made Benítez roar nervously.

Riise, who wanted to steal Makelele's pass to Lin Yi in the midfield, was still a step slower than the boy, and Lin Yi did not pause after receiving the ball. I don't know what the boy's eyes are like. Anyway, after receiving the ball, he almost didn't look at it, but made an accurate straight pass.

The football stuck to the grass and jumped out at least 20 meters away. An extremely accurate pass went directly through Hyypia and found Drogba.

Single-handed! No one knows how that kid passed the ball and how he found such a gap. Anyway, Drogba had already shaken off all the defenders the moment he received the ball. There was only one Kirkland in front of him, but this tragic African elephant did not stop the ball well!

Maybe Drogba was not prepared for Lin Yi's ghostly pass. Anyway, the football hit his calf and bounced out for a distance.

Kirkland should really thank God. If he hadn't been focused enough and Drogba hadn't stopped the ball well, he might have scored.

Drogba's mistake gave Kirkland the opportunity to attack and save the situation. His mistake also made the kid a classic move of diving for the ball.

But Benitez didn't want to praise Kirkland at this time. He roared angrily at his own defense line and denounced such a mistake!

"Come on! Don't make such mistakes again! Otherwise, the opponent will kick you hard!" Benítez was almost exhausted by the kick. When Lin Yi's pass broke through Liverpool's defense, Benítez kicked the beverage bottles in front of him nervously.

Now he didn't want to try the feeling of being nervous to the point of collapse again, so he roared in dissatisfaction, or roared.

Compared with Mourinho's fierceness in urging the team to press forward, Benítez's roar was more like a dying struggle.

Originally, Benítez had already prepared how to defend Lin Yi, but Mourinho's change of formation still disrupted his plan, especially after Lin Yi came on the court. Whether Gerrard should go up became a very big problem, and Lin Yi took advantage of the opponent's hesitation.

The fact that the pass just now failed to tear up the goal guarded by Kirkland did not mean that Lin Yi would just let it go. In his opinion, this was just a prelude.

It's always like this when you listen to a concert. When the prelude ends, the climax will appear, and Lin Yi is the guy who played the fatal note for the opponent.

The kid touched the ball again, still about 40 meters away from the goal. He seemed to be deliberately avoiding direct contact with Gerrard.

And he didn't actively rush towards Gerrard after receiving the ball, but used a pass with the outside of his foot to directly create a chance for Duff to charge. The Irishman made a crazy attack along the sideline, which was also because Lin Yi's pass was too comfortable.

Duff didn't need to make any adjustments at all. This guy just needed to run wildly. He was simply bringing up dust all the way on the right.

When Riise and other guys were ready to chase back, they could only see Duff's rushing back, and there was no mention of stopping the opponent.

The only thing they could count on was the backup defense from the central defender. Fortunately, the distance between Benitez's defense line was enough for backup defense.

But Carragher's replacement this time couldn't completely block Duff's passing angle, and Duff almost passed the ball along the grass at the moment he reached the bottom line, knocking it back to the front of the penalty area. He didn't choose to cross the ball! This guy aimed at a black-haired kid and passed it!

No one saw when Lin Yi got into the penalty area, and no one expected that Duff would not look for Drogba's high point.

When Lin Yi ran to the position to meet the pass, Gerrard was probably the only one who was still awake. He also stretched out his long legs and kicked a flying tackle.

Not asking to block Lin Yi from receiving the ball, at least Gerrard wanted to slow down the speed of Lin Yi's shot at this time to give Kirkland a chance to adjust.

This England's main midfielder does have his own advantages, and his physical fitness is indeed quite strong. He can also catch up with this kind of forced pursuit defense, and the direction of the tackle is not wrong at all, but the only thing he overlooked is Lin Yi's cunning response.

When have you seen that kid use normal methods to play football? Maybe Gerrard really didn't watch Lin Yi's previous game videos before the game.

If he had seen it, he wouldn't be so obsessed with betting that Lin Yi would choose to shoot. Maybe Gerrard is too straightforward and not as cunning as that kid.

When Lin Yi saw Gerrard's long legs sweeping across from the side and back, he knew that if he chose to shoot, he would definitely be blocked.

So the kid didn't plan to swing his legs to kick the ball at all. At the moment when the ball was about to reach his feet, the kid spread his legs and let it pass!

"Wow! What did our magical kid do! I think his action just now should be a shot! He actually missed the ball!"

Not only did the voice of the live commentary remind the fans of what had just happened, but even Liverpool's defensive players were stunned, especially Gerrard.

He didn't know what the kid was thinking, but at this time he couldn't make any changes, and could only watch the ball slip away from him.

His long legs were still blocking Lin Yi, and the kid also cooperated very well to take off into the air, and then pressed heavily on Gerrard.

But the ball had already left them far away. The last shot Gerrard looked back and saw was Lampard volleying the ball at the top of the arc in the penalty area.

The sound that Gerrard could hear was the whistling sound of the football cutting through the air, and the crisp sound of the football rubbing against the net.

Gerrard heard not only the crisp sound of the net being scraped, but also the enthusiastic cheers of tens of thousands of fans.

Even without looking back, Gerrard knew what had happened. This damn game had changed at the moment when he least expected it.

"Damn it, damn it!" Gerrard almost gritted his teeth and cursed when he pushed away the kid who was still pressing on him.

This was his first head-on confrontation with Lin Yi. He was not passed by the kid, but such an ending was even more depressing than being passed by the opponent.

A weird missed ball almost deceived the entire Liverpool team. An opportunity that was not an opportunity allowed this kid to achieve Lampard's goal.

What kind of monster is this! Gerrard really wanted to find someone to ask why there are such guys on the football field.

But now he has no chance to know the answer. The football rolling in the net has already told him the ending. That kid is so evil.

Seven minutes after Lin Yi came on the court, Benítez was on the sidelines, looking at the score changes on the big screen of Stamford Bridge with a bit of despair.

One to zero, Chelsea scored the first goal with a volley from the top of the penalty area in the 63rd minute of the second half!

Gerrard lay on the grass helplessly. He really didn't want to hear any sound now, but the cheers from Stamford Bridge made it impossible for him to avoid it.

The whole stadium was crazy, and all the fans were shouting, "Chelsea! Chelsea! We are the invincible Chelsea!!!"

Invincible? Maybe, at least for now, they really caused a lot of trouble for Liverpool, and those Liverpool fans fell silent about this goal. Because it has nothing to do with anyone, it's not a home whistle, it's just an amazing cooperation.

It's just that the process of this cooperation was so smooth that the Liverpool players felt that they couldn't resist it, leaving them with only helplessness.

Even a commentator who supported the Liverpool team said very depressedly, "Such passes and shots are not something that Kirkland can stop."

Yes, such a goal can't be stopped at all, from Lin Yi passing the ball to Duff, to the Irishman passing the ball to Lin Yi in the middle, until the kid caught the ball and made a fake move at the moment of inspiration, which made the Liverpool players stand aside in amazement.

All the Liverpool players became spectators of this cooperation, even the background. Their only role was to cooperate with the opponent to finish this play.

And Lampard's shot, as well as the wild celebration of the group of blue warriors after the goal, no one could stop it, although it was all very depressing.

But Benitez and his team must accept this fact. With less than half an hour left in the game, they must fight back.

But the risk of their counterattack might be that they would be beaten even worse by the beasts in blue clothes, or even be defeated.

But now, apart from fighting desperately, does Benítez have any other choice? I am afraid he himself knows that this time he has no way out. . .

(Now I feel more and more that Comrade Love's data is inflated... It's just for fun... But it's really exaggerated...)
