Midfielder

One was a lightning-fast goal, and the other was an even more fatal own goal. It is estimated that any team would lose their fighting spirit if they encountered such bad luck, let alone Liverpool, which was already unsure.

Most people in the football circle are a bit superstitious, including Mourinho. Once they encounter an own goal, no matter which team it is, he will think it is a very bad omen from the bottom of his heart.

Liverpool's two goals caught them off guard, and the most important thing was that it disrupted all their plans.

But now no one can blame Gerrard for anything, because he jumped up and headed the ball to clear the siege, but Duff's lob pass was too sudden, and the ball rubbed his scalp and changed the direction of travel, which no one could predict.

If there is anything to blame, it is estimated that it can only complain about the damn luck, after all, no one wants to see such an own goal.

The host of ESPN could only sigh for Liverpool, "The luck tonight is not on Liverpool's side."

In fact, it is not just luck that is not on Liverpool's side, fighting spirit and resilience, they are not superior.

Even when the Liverpool fans cheered for the team, their voices were obviously one level lower than those of Chelsea fans.

The song "You'll Never Walk Alone" was no longer as loud as it was at the beginning of the game. It was estimated that even Liverpool fans had no confidence in this game. They could only pray that this was not a massacre.

Benítez, who was watching all this helplessly on the sidelines, was also asking himself why he was so unlucky every time he met Chelsea. Either a player was absent due to injury, or such a weird goal appeared on the field.

It seemed that he and Mourinho had committed the same crime. It was fine to be double-killed in the league, but now the cup game was also so unlucky.

Originally, he wanted to win his first championship in Liverpool with the team's performance in the Champions League, but now it seems that this task is difficult to accomplish. After all, so far this season, no team has been able to complete a reversal when Chelsea is leading 2-0. Can Liverpool do it? I'm afraid even he himself doesn't know.

I really don't know what will happen if we meet Chelsea again in the Champions League. Benítez doesn't dare to think about it now, because he finds that nothing good will happen if he collides with Mourinho's team head-on.

2-0, this is not the end of the story, because even if Chelsea is ahead, they still firmly control the situation on the field, especially in the confrontation in the midfield, although they only have four people active near the midfield.

But facing Liverpool's five-man defensive formation, Chelsea showed strong control ability. Whether it was passing or pulling back and forth on the two sides, every time they pressed forward, they could cause great trouble to the opponent.

Especially in the middle, Lampard performed very eye-catchingly when facing his main national team competitor Gerrard. He had an advantage in offensive initiative by inserting shots and passing in a small range in front of the penalty area.

Gerrard's personal ability is actually not worse than Lampard's. He even has certain advantages in headers and long shots inserted in the back row, but now Liverpool is suppressed by the opponent and he can't show it at all.

All his attention was now suppressed by Chelsea's offensive in his own half, and he had no chance to create threats in front of the opponent's penalty area, and Chelsea would not take the initiative to give him such an opportunity.

Not only did Lampard contain Gerrard's defensive energy in front of the penalty area, but the most important thing was that Gerrard had to keep a close eye on Lin Yi, because after Chelsea led 2-0, the boy did not reduce his offensive intentions.

Even the boy was more fierce than in the first 20 minutes. When Hamann defended him one-on-one, he couldn't defend him at all. Sometimes the boy could immediately get rid of Hamann's defense with a very simple flick.

This made Hamann very annoyed. After all, he has always been the backbone of the defensive midfielder position in Liverpool. Even if he is no longer in peak form, he has never been so embarrassed in the Premier League.

Less than five minutes after the second goal, Lin Yi suddenly approached from the middle where Hamann was guarding again. Ferreira, who was responsible for the wing defense, cut off Kewell's possibility of cutting in from the wing with a shovel, and then passed the ball.

This right-back in the best European team last season, although not a big name in Chelsea, still has the skill of long pass. His pass accurately found Lin Yi who was wandering near the midfield.

This time, Lin Yi chose to stop the ball with his chest while moving. Almost at the same time as stopping the ball, he pulled the ball horizontally with the sole of his foot, and then dodged the long leg that Hamann had stretched out at a nearly right angle.

Another agile and extraordinary performance, even the commentator on the scene applauded this dribbling action. There is no way, when Lin Yi plays on the field, he can always make people's nerves always in an excited state.

Even Selina and Emma, ​​two little girls who don't know much about football, couldn't help but applaud when they saw such a dribbling. You can imagine what a gorgeous step Lin Yi took when confronting Hamann.

Get rid of it, turn around, Lin Yi almost without any pause, and passed Finnan who came from the wing to assist. The guy's tackling action was very fierce, but now he can only compete with the grass.

The simplest passing move has achieved the best effect. Lin Yi's starting speed reached the extreme at this moment.

After passing two people in a row, Lin Yi's pace did not slow down. At the moment when Gerrard and Carragher's attention was attracted by him, Lin Yi sent a very strange pass on the right side of the penalty area.

Robben on the wing was ready to cross the ball, but when Lin Yi was looking at Gerrard and Carragher, he suddenly sent a pass at a 45-degree angle on the right side of the penalty area with only one step of run-up.

If this was just a simple cross, it would be fine. The weird thing is that Lin Yi's pass, which flew along the grass, passed between the legs of Gerrard and Carragher. One pass, through two crotches.

I guess even the commentator on the scene didn't know how to describe this scene, because it was too fucking weird!

At this time, only the strong Hyypia and Drogba were left in the middle of the penalty area to compete for the landing point, but Drogba was not surprised at all that Lin Yi could make such a pass, so he was very determined when he moved forward.

Hyypiä obviously didn't expect the ball to fly over like this along the grass. He was obviously a beat slower than the Ivorian in his reaction. By the time he remembered to block Drogba's position, the guy had already shot at the ball.

What are the benefits of being tall and having long legs? Drogba has told everyone with this shot that his strong body is useful at times like this, especially those two very strong and powerful long legs.

Hyypiä has been very desperate to tackle the ball, but his outstretched foot can't intercept Drogba's sideways shot at all. Not to mention him, even Dudek didn't expect Drogba to choose to shoot like this.

Because Robben and Lampard were still at the back of the penalty area, Dudek didn't block his near corner of the goal at the first time, or this guy didn't realize the danger of Drogba in front of the goal.

But this time he paid a painful price for his judgment. By the time he reacted and prepared to block the near corner, Drogba's shot had once again lifted the Liverpool team's net, this was the third time.

Three to zero! Drogba jumped up from the baseline crazily. He didn't even care that his thigh was scratched by Hyypia's studs. He just wanted to celebrate the goal crazily! Celebrate Chelsea's victory!

This African elephant has been depressed for almost ten days because of the Champions League. Although he vented his pent-up anger with a goal in the league, the battlefield of the final can stimulate the madness hidden in a person's heart.

This guy didn't even care whether he would get a yellow card for taking off his clothes to celebrate. Anyway, he tore off his team uniform, revealing his strong muscles, and ran wildly on the sidelines, leading the cheers of the fans!

"Chelsea! Chelsea! We are the strongest!" This shout broke out in an instant, completely drowning out the "You'll Never Walk Alone" that was just lingering in the stadium, and the blue flag was also flying up and down at this moment.

Is there anyone who can stop Chelsea from winning the first trophy now? Is there anyone else? Drogba and a group of equally crazy Chelsea players rushed to Mourinho standing on the sidelines crazily. They wanted to celebrate with this guy!

Although the game was less than half an hour old, Chelsea had already defended the trophy with their madness.

Still want to fight for the League Cup? Look at Benítez's expression at this moment. He was like a vulture about to die, watching everything on the sidelines, watching the crazy blue tear the team apart.

It is said that blue is quiet, but at this moment in the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, blue is crazy. It completely covers the red of Liverpool and becomes the main color on the court. The beasts have stepped on the shoulders of Liverpool and touched the trophy. Even Gerrard, who was running hard on the field just now, has now lowered his head helplessly.

Nothing can be changed. Everything on this night belongs to Chelsea, including the final trophy.

When Gerrard walked back to the center circle with the football in his arms, he looked at Lin Yi, who was smiling in the crowd, and murmured to himself, "That guy can really change a lot of things, maybe..."

No one knew what he would say after "maybe", but at this moment, the soul of Liverpool had already tacitly accepted the ownership of this League Cup. On this night, Chelsea was the ruler of the Millennium Stadium.

No one could change this fact, not Benítez, not Gerrard.

What about Stamford Bridge in a week? Can Rijkaard and his Barcelona team do it?

No one could give an answer...
