Midfielder

People who lose their minds are crazy. This sentence is absolutely true. When Liverpool fell behind, the bald Benítez was crazy, and very crazy. He dared to take the initiative to remove one of his defenders and replace him with a striker in order to equalize the score in the away game.

Changing to 3-5-2, Benítez had already adjusted his team's formation less than a minute after Chelsea changed the score.

It can be seen that Benítez was anxious. He needed to organize a counterattack in the shortest time, and it was obvious that he wanted to equalize the score in one go.

Forward Baros was thrown to the field by Benítez. He asked the Czech to partner with Cisse to try to bite a hole in Chelsea's defense.

Maybe now Benítez can deeply feel that if there is no high point in the opponent's penalty area, no matter how strong Cisse is, it will be useless.

Especially when facing Chelsea's barrier-like defense, you must have a very strong center forward to break a gap in their interior.

Unfortunately, Liverpool does not have a beast like Drogba. The only center forward they have now is Baros.

Although this Czech is scary when he is crazy, most of the time, this guy is really bad at seizing opportunities in front of the goal.

Otherwise, Benítez would not have mentioned the time when Owen was in the team when he talked to the media about the forward configuration of his team.

But unfortunately, the golden boy who once swept England is gone forever, although he is not doing very well in Real Madrid.

However, this Spanish bald man has such courage, and you really have to admire him for finally being a man at this time. Although it seems a little late, it is better than continuing to shrink in his own half and being besieged by Chelsea. Maybe.

At least it is better to fight with the opponent in this way. It is better to be beaten to death standing than to be beaten at the door.

There is actually not much difference between the results of attacking and being pushed back, because the initiative of attacking has always been in the hands of Chelsea.

Liverpool's pressing now can only show their determination to be defeated by their opponents away from home, but it can't change the passive situation on the field at all.

Since Lin Yi came on the field, Liverpool's defense has been very strenuous in the battle for the midfield. Even if Gerrard comes to defend himself, it can't guarantee that Lin Yi will be blocked in the midfield every time. Lin Yi, like a loach, can shuttle freely in a very small range.

Even if Gerrard's two long legs are always around him, it doesn't prevent Lin Yi from sending fatal passes.

Three defenders, this is no longer dangerous, but suicide. Originally, four defenders couldn't keep an eye on Chelsea's offensive players, and they still expected three people to handle everything? It can only be said that Benitez, the bald man, is ready to give up the idea of ​​continuing to grind with his opponents at this time.

In the last little time, he had to let the team attack. Losing to Manchester United had already put a lot of pressure on him. Losing to Chelsea again would be a disaster. Benítez could even imagine that if the score continued like this, he would definitely hear boos at the end of the game.

Don't forget that it's not just Chelsea fans sitting in Stamford Bridge. There are also six or seven thousand Liverpool fans in the stands.

Benítez didn't want to try the embarrassment of accepting boos from his own fans away from home. In order to tie the score as soon as possible, he had to take risks.

However, although this bald man had the courage to take risks, he forgot that the opponent could not follow his ideas. The Chelsea coach was best at playing defensive counterattack tactics after taking the lead. He won the European Champions League last season with such tactics.

Although Liverpool was very good at creating miracles in such a fierce rush, they did not have many ways to deal with Chelsea's iron-like defense. Even if Cisse was equipped with a partner like Baros who could compete for the landing point, it did not change the problem of Liverpool's weak offense at all.

Now the pressure on the field has completely shifted to Liverpool. If they attack, they will have to bear the risk of being penetrated by the opponent's defense line, but reality forces them to bite the bullet. Even Gerrard and Alonso have pressed to the center circle arc. You can see that Liverpool is desperate this time.

Their offensive launched under the impetus of bravery also threatened the goal guarded by Cech to a certain extent, especially Gerrard's long shot.

With Baros and Cisse tossing in the penalty area, even if Chelsea's defense is quite strong, there will be some omissions in some links, especially Liverpool has a Luis Garcia also wandering around the penalty area, which is a threat to the Blues' defense.

With the involvement of these three people, Gerrard, who had been holding back for nearly 70 minutes, finally found an opportunity to shoot from a distance, especially when the second half was in the 75th minute, Gerrard finally got a very comfortable kick distance, and it was a volley shot.

The football spun strongly and whizzed towards the upper corner of the goal. If this ball went in, it would definitely be a world-shaking goal that would shock the world and make the gods cry.

But, this is just an if. Although Makelele failed to stop Gerrard from kicking, Cech's nerves were always tense. He had already started moving on the goal line the moment Gerrard kicked. When the football jumped into the dead corner, the Czech goalkeeper jumped into the air and flicked it with his fingertips.

This extremely fierce shot, even with Cech's reaction, he only touched it a little with his fingertips, but this simple touch was enough.

The whistling football hit the goalpost hard and bounced back into the field. Carvalho, who grabbed the first landing point, used his body to carry Baros and kicked the ball in the small penalty area, finally easing the crisis. Chelsea also seized this opportunity to make a quick counterattack against Liverpool.

Liverpool, who pressed hard to score a goal, left Chelsea with a large space, but the most fatal thing was the kid who received the football now.

Carvalho's long-footed clearance was purposeless, but this guy just kicked it randomly and was snatched by Lin Yi in the midfield.

Even Alonso probably didn't expect that the black-haired kid would have such a strong impact in physical confrontation. He was originally blocking the position to grab the first landing point, but Lin Yi almost used his shoulder to push Alonso's blocking position at the moment the football fell.

And the way this kid stopped the ball also made Alonso very melancholy. The stop and the pass were done in one go. Lin Yi got rid of it with such a coherent action.

When he stopped the football with the instep, it seemed that he had already calculated where Alonso would kick to interfere with him, so when Alonso stretched out his long legs to kick the football, Lin Yi poked the football with his toes, and a very beautiful stop and crotch pass appeared so gorgeously.

And no matter from which angle you look at it, it was Alonso who spread his legs first, as if his action was to cooperate with Lin Yi's crotch pass.

He shook off his opponent in one encounter. At this time, there were only three Liverpool defenders in front of Lin Yi, and Chelsea had Drogba, Lampard and Robben. It was a 4-on-3 battle. When Alonso's outstretched hand did not catch Lin Yi's clothes, some things were doomed.

Carragher was the first Liverpool player who did not choose to retreat and head out, but he was also the first guy to be calculated by Lin Yi. When facing such a tall defender, Lin Yi had a hundred ways to make the opponent live and die in a head-on confrontation, and each one was guaranteed to be very deadly.

Gorgeous bicycle, deadly pendulum, when Lin Yi ravaged Carragher like a beast, the whole Stamford Bridge began to shout wildly.

"Wow! Our magic boy made a defender like Carragher feel scared. Look! The big guy lost his balance after being shaken by Lin Yi. He actually sat down on the ground. MY GOD, I think Mr. Carragher's mind must be in a mess now. He has fainted."

Not only did the commentator roar for Lin Yi's performance, but the whole Stamford Bridge was crazy about Lin Yi's wanton and casual performance. What is this?

This is a dreamlike performance. Passing you head-on is not the purpose. The purpose is to destroy your confidence while passing you. Completely destroy it!

I don't know if Carragher's confidence has been destroyed by Lin Yi now. Anyway, Benitez is almost scratching his scalp with his hands on the sidelines. In fact, this guy should be glad that he doesn't have many hairs. Otherwise, with his scratching method, no matter how thick the hair is, he will pull it out.

Carragher, who had been knocked down on the grass by Lin Yi's feint, became another victim. Moreover, the biggest hidden danger of this guy being passed was that the middle of Liverpool's defense was completely torn apart by Lin Yi. Within a distance of less than 20 meters from the fans, this kid could choose to shoot at will.

"Don't let him shoot!" Kirkland's roar reminded Hyypiä that he must be ready to be a human shield, but when he rushed over, he saw Lin Yi using his foot arch to send the football into the penalty area along the grass. A figure just crossed with Hyypiä and rushed to the goal.

The person arrived, the ball arrived, and Lin Yi's pass seemed to have calculated everything long ago. Hyypiä looked back and saw only another scene that made him desperate.

Lampard appeared in front of Liverpool's goal again. There was no offside and no one blocked him. The only one who could still be regarded as a barrier was Kirkland.

But what else could this guy who had not yet rushed out of the goal do? His hands, which he opened as much as possible, could only serve as a foil for this shot.

Another shake of the net, another fatal move, and the cheers that erupted at Stamford Bridge again made Benítez close his eyes in pain.

2:0, a score that was not very different, but for Chelsea, it was enough. . .

(Uh, Adebayor came to Real Madrid... this... a guy who has been addicted to Manchester City's big money, can he be better than Benzema?)
