Midfielder

Chapter 240

Lin Yi doesn't have time to care about what might happen now. Anyway, he has said what he should say. As for how much trouble he might cause, Lin Yi doesn't think about it or care. What's coming will come, and he can't avoid it even if he wants to.

At this time, it's better to act like a bachelor. Whatever happens, at most he will accept a few games of suspension.

Plus a fine, what else can it do? Besides, Mendes and Chelsea are looking for a way out for themselves, especially the club is very tough this time, Abramovich and Kenyon both have an endless attitude.

If Lin Yi is really going to be punished, it seems that it will take a lot of trouble. What's more, Sky TV didn't chase this guy to death. They didn't even deliberately hype this conflict, as if they didn't want to mention it.

The most important thing is that many of Lin Yi's female fans have now launched a wave of opposition to Sky TV, because the guy who wrote the article was obviously writing in a tone that discriminated against women who had children out of wedlock.

Discrimination against women, well, this is really an unbearable charge. The worst thing is that you can't expect women to be reasonable.

Anyway, people are sure of one thing, if you write like this, it's not okay. It's not just attacking Lin Yi, it's also attacking women!

I guess the guy who wrote the article must be living a miserable life now. If he has a girlfriend or wife, then he is very likely to suffer domestic violence. After all, there are many gentlemen in England, but women are not among them.

And this guy obviously forgot how many women in England are Lin Yi's die-hard fans now. You are not asking for trouble by provoking such an enemy? This guy's attraction to those women is simply fatal now. You are just making trouble for yourself by writing things to make up about him.

Lin Yi doesn't care much about what's going on outside. Now he is more focused on the game, especially in the recent rounds of the league, the battle for points between Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United is getting more and more intense.

Chelsea beat Villa in the 19th round. Similarly, Arsenal beat Fulham 2:0 at home, and Manchester United beat Bolton 2:0 at home. On Boxing Day, Chelsea and the two traditional strong teams were all advancing triumphantly.

It can be seen that after Mourinho took three points from Highbury and shouted the slogan of winning the championship in advance at the press conference, the two old guys, Ferguson and Wenger, have been full of energy and want to bite Chelsea to death.

At least in the hearts of the two old guys, they will never let Mourinho's seemingly arrogant speech become a reality. Anyway, they will not let Chelsea run all the way easily. Even if they break their teeth, they will be a qualified chaser behind Chelsea and try to put some pressure on the Portuguese.

Let a novice lead the team to win the championship in advance in the first season. Where can the two old guys put their faces?

The 19th round of the game is just a starting point for the three teams to start crazy efforts. In the 20th round of the league, the three strong teams all defeated their opponents at the same time, increasing their points by three points.

Chelsea defeated Portsmouth 2:0 away from home. They didn't leave any chances for the opponent in the whole game, especially in the midfield. They didn't let the opponent play a smooth attack. It can be said that Portsmouth's striker Yakubu was starved to death in Chelsea's penalty area because he didn't get a pass.

Arsenal also followed Chelsea's winning pace. They also defeated Newcastle United, which has been in a declining state recently, away from home, but the score was only 1:0. However, Henry continued to consolidate his leading position in the scorer list with this goal, but behind him was Chelsea's trio desperately chasing.

Villa, who lost to Chelsea in the last round, was also very unlucky to meet Manchester United, which has recently regained its form. Ferguson's team used 70% of the ball possession rate throughout the game to completely stifle Villa's counterattack attempt, but their shooting luck was not good and they only won 1:0.

But what made Ferguson very happy after the game was that the status of veterans such as Giggs and Scholes began to recover rapidly, especially the Welsh flying knife Giggs, who had scored four goals in the last three games, two of which were key goals to lock in the victory.

"Ryan will always be an indispensable member of Manchester United, and he will wear this uniform and stay at Old Trafford until he retires." Giggs's good competitive state not only allowed Manchester United to catch up in the standings, but also made Ferguson ready to renew his contract with him.

Originally, after the start of the new season, many people saw that the status of the 92-year players trained by Ferguson began to decline sharply, and there were voices about whether they should abdicate. It is estimated that if it were not for Ferguson's insistence, another coach might have almost given up on these people.

But Ferguson voted for them, and these guys did not waste this trust. Giggs and others can finally justify themselves with strong performances on the field, and Ferguson can now put the new contract renewal contract in front of these old subordinates.

When young guys like Ronaldo and Rooney are still immature, Sir Alex still needs his old subordinates to support the backbone of Manchester United, especially at the critical moment of chasing points, he must make good use of these veterans, and they may become the backbone of Manchester United's counterattack.

Now Arsenal has surpassed Everton, which was one point ahead of them, and has risen to the second place in the league. Manchester United has also made Bolton fall out of the Champions League zone. The Red Devils have also entered the top four for the first time.

Originally, it was not worth noting that the top three teams won two consecutive rounds of games, but Chelsea turned the pursuit on the standings into a white-hot competition. In the 21st round of the Premier League, they once again used their highly efficient offensive methods to win three points.

This time, their victory not only continued to maintain their leading advantage in the standings, but also made those chasing behind them feel a kind of pressure, because these guys in blue uniforms killed Liverpool in an extremely powerful way at Anfield.

Originally, before the game started, teams like Manchester United and Arsenal were waiting for Chelsea to hit a nail at Anfield. Although Liverpool's performance this season is indeed very bad, these proud guys rarely lose at their doorstep.

Especially when confronting strong teams, they don't want to lose again. That may be a kind of pride from their bones. They can lose away games, and they can even accept a big defeat, but at home, they always defend the glory of Anfield with the will of a fighter.

It seems that Shankly's soul is also blessing Anfield. When they meet strong teams at their home ground, they are rarely suppressed by their opponents.

Whether it is Manchester United or Arsenal, even when they are at their peak, they rarely get an advantage at Anfield, because the Red Army always bursts out a kind of frightening fighting power here, especially when they are in desperate situations, they will appear more terrible.

And this time Benitez seems to have made all preparations to avenge the away defeat at home. He even verbally warned Mourinho before the game started, don't think about running wild at Anfield again, this is not Stamford Bridge, not your territory!

The Spaniard remembered the lesson of Liverpool's midfield losing control when losing away, so this time he chose a relatively conservative 4-5-1 formation even if he was playing at home. In the case that Baros could not play, he chose Pongler, who had a faster counterattack speed, as the starting striker.

German Hamann returned to the starting lineup. He will be ready to intercept Chelsea's attack in the position of defensive midfielder with Alonso, and the most important thing is to be ready to intercept Lin Yi. It can be seen that Benítez still has a deep fear of the boy who has recently become popular in England.

Gerrard is still the soul of Liverpool on the field. There are Garcia and Riise to help him. Although there is not much inspiration in the offense, this lineup will at least not be torn apart by the opponent's strong impact when fighting against Chelsea's midfield stranglehold.

Benítez played with all the main players on the back line, including Carragher, Finnan, Hyypia, Traore, and goalkeeper Dudek who has recently recovered.

It can be said that the Spaniard has revealed all his assets. He also understands that if Anfield is lost, there will be only two outcomes. Either he will be killed by angry fans or he will be killed by the team's management. Anyway, he will definitely not be well.

Liverpool now needs a victory against a strong opponent to boost its morale. You know, the great Red Army rarely has an embarrassing moment of being around tenth in the standings when the league is about 20 rounds. If it weren't for the smooth journey of the Champions League, maybe Benítez would have been kicked out by angry fans, or he should also thank the businessmen who initiated the club acquisition.

If there were no such acquisitions attracting the attention of fans, maybe he would have been sent a dismissal letter by the club and rolled back to Spain.

Benítez now wants to bite off a hard bone to show that the team has recovered under his leadership, but the bone he chose this time is too hard, so hard that even if he changes to diamond dentures, he may not be able to bite it. He only realized this after the game started.

Chelsea also played with all the main players. Only Drogba on the front line had some muscle fatigue before the game and was put on the bench by Mourinho. Icelander Gudjohnsen replaced him as the center forward. Apart from that, Chelsea's lineup did not change at all.

Chelsea, whose lineup was almost not adjusted much, firmly controlled the situation on the field from the moment the game started. This was how Mourinho arranged it. According to the videos of Liverpool's recent games at Anfield, they liked to rush for a few minutes in the opening stage.

It can be said that they used their familiarity with the stadium and the momentum of the home court to catch the visiting team off guard. This method is often easy to work, especially in the deafening roar of the fans, Liverpool can often kill the opponent with the three axes at the beginning.

Even if they can't kill, they can make the opponent shrink back to their own half and dare not easily press forward in a short time. Although this style of play is simple and crude, in the confrontation with many strong teams, Benítez's set of patterned tactics always has a good effect.

But he met Mourinho this time, who has a thorough understanding of other people's psychology, so he will not give Liverpool such an opportunity, especially he will not give Benítez such an opportunity.

The last time he was at Stamford Bridge, Mourinho once said that he would not let Benítez have any good days.

Press forward! From the moment the whistle blew, Mourinho asked the team to maintain the overall formation and take the lead in igniting the war. Didn't the opponent want to press forward and attack? Then let's take the lead in launching an attack, disrupt the opponent's tactical arrangement, and suppress their offensive firepower.

Less than 30 seconds after the start, Lin Yi quickly got rid of Hamann's entanglement in the midfield with his personal skills, and an accurate long pass found Duff who was competing with Finnan for speed. Duff did not choose to stop the ball during the high-speed forward insertion. When the football was still floating in the air, he made a volley cross, which made Liverpool's defense unprepared, but Gudjohnsen's header in the middle hit the crossbar and bounced out.

Although this attack failed to break Liverpool's goal, it hit Benitez, who was sitting on the Diaoyutai just now. When the bald man saw this thrilling moment in front of the goal, he jumped up directly from the coaching seat, and his bald head almost hit the ceiling.

This guy probably didn't care about these things at the moment. He roared at his players like a beast, "Focus! Focus! Don't make this mistake again! Those damn guys almost scored! Keep an eye on them!!!"

However, when Lin Yi ran back, he waved his fist fiercely at Benítez's position as if to show his protest, as if to tell the bald guy that sooner or later I will use my fist to break your goal, just wait and see, you old Spanish bald guy.

Originally, Lin Yi and Benítez didn't have any big grudges, but when this guy was interviewed a few days ago, he seemed to have mentioned the dispute between Lin Yi and Sky TV intentionally or unintentionally. He said that as a public figure, he shouldn't say those threatening words on TV.

It can be seen that Lin Yi has taken note of the old bald man's speech. At this moment, he is going to use practical actions to warn Benítez under his nose, "It's not your business. You'd better not interrupt in the future. The adults are talking. Is there any place for you to speak? You understand it again, right?"

Benitez saw Lin Yi made such a move. In addition to being depressed and flushed, he seemed to have no other good way to vent his anger, especially when his team was hit back by the opponent. His heart almost stopped beating.

Not only this guy is a little panicked now, it is estimated that the group of Red Army fans who are cheering for Liverpool in Anfield are also panicked. They didn't expect that Chelsea, as the visiting team, would be more fierce than themselves in the opening stage, especially the black-haired boy wandering in the midfield. When he was advancing just now, he stole the ball from Riise's feet, and then shook off Hamann's interception in the high-speed dribbling.

If it weren't for the crossbar blessing Liverpool, maybe that kid would have directed the fastest goal at Anfield this season. This is simply too terrible. The shouts of those fans also began to gradually weaken because of the crisp sound of this shot. For the first time, they found that this game was really heartbreaking.

There was no way. In the first ten minutes of the game, the style of play that Liverpool usually used to attack others was not what they usually did. They were completely suppressed by Chelsea. The beasts in blue uniforms had six shots in the first ten minutes, and each time was very threatening.

Attack? How to attack? Except for Gerrard's personal ability to win a long-range shot in the frontcourt, Liverpool did not even have a decent offensive. Without Baros, a guy with a good header, in front, Pongler's counterattack speed did not even have a chance to start.

Riise and Garcia were almost turning into full-backs on the field. They could not provide any help to the frontcourt at all. They could only passively carry out disruptive defense in the backcourt. Liverpool's current offense basically relies on... Meng.

Occasionally, when they kicked out a clearance, Gerrard might have one or two chances to fight for the landing point, and then rely on his personal ability to protect the ball, wait for his teammates to support, or find a way to break through the opponent's defense, but most of the time he can only choose long shots.

But it's nonsense to think that you can break through Cech's ten fingers with such a long shot. As the goalkeeper with the fewest goals conceded in the Premier League this season, Cech will never let such a shot from 30 meters away easily pass his fingertips. This guy even saves the difficult save action.

However, although Chelsea's offensive is fierce, Anfield Stadium does seem to be blessed by gods. Their repeated bombings failed to knock open the door guarded by Dudek. Maybe the old man Shankly is also watching this game in heaven at this moment, or the soul of this Red Army does not want to see his successor lose so embarrassingly at home, but how long the magic of this old guy can last, no one knows.

Anyway, even if Benítez made personnel adjustments during the halftime break, he was unable to recover the disadvantage after the start of the second half. Chelsea still relied on strong midfield control and iron-like defense to stifle every attack of Liverpool.

When Lin Yi's pass once again passed between Carragher's legs and found Lampard who was no longer guarded, the entire Anfield stadium became desperate. They even chose to close their eyes at this moment and no longer watch the cruel scene. For them, the shaking of the net was simply shaking their confidence in following the Red Army.

1:0, Chelsea did not conquer Liverpool, they conquered the confidence of traditional strong teams. . .

(Inter Milan played a thrilling game yesterday... Although the first goal was suspected of being offside, it is not that important. This reversal really made Van Gaal helpless...)
