Midfielder

During the fifteen minutes of the halftime break, Lin Yi sat in front of his locker, just wiping his sweat with a towel, and then breathing heavily, without communicating with anyone at all.

Seeing him like this, no one, including Lampard, bothered him. After all, these guys also knew that the consumption method in the first half of the game would make them feel extremely tired even if they were replaced with an iron lung.

Even Makelele, who has always been known for his physical fitness, was a little worried about whether Lin Yi's body could hold up.

But no one could ask Lin Yi to stop. After all, the kid was also fighting hard for the team and the opponent to win the game. At this time, he could only let him enjoy a little quiet and try not to disturb him.

Because of this, the entire Chelsea locker room seemed very quiet, so quiet that only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard.

This silence was not broken until Mourinho entered the locker room, but most of the players were looking at Mourinho now. They didn't know what kind of tactical adjustments their coach would make. After all, they couldn't just rely on Lin Yi to charge all the time. The opponent's defensive actions were already very fierce, and injuries could happen at any time.

And in the first half of the game, Chelsea's attack on both sides was also very successful.

But Drogba didn't get too many chances to score under the joint attack of the opponent's two central defenders, especially Dudek was in good shape today, and Drogba's only two threatening headers were also firmly grasped by him.

Although Robben and Duff could do more on the opponent's wing, the final decision still had to be made by the forward. The opponent's concentration in the middle had already left little room for movement, and cutting inside was simply unrealistic.

Especially in the absence of Lin Yi's pass, it was very difficult for Robben and Duff to cut inside from the wing. After all, relying on the two of them to break through by themselves, the success rate of this kind of dribbling inside to win a shooting opportunity was really pitifully low.

If they can't solve these problems in the second half, they may not be able to beat Liverpool away from home.

After all, this is the opponent's home court. Although Chelsea, who leads the attack, can suppress them, if Liverpool's spring is pressed too hard, no one knows whether they will hurt Chelsea, the main attacker, when they counterattack.

Chelsea's players don't want to see themselves, as masters of defensive counterattacks, being knocked down by the opponent with the same trick.

However, Liverpool's offense today is really not good, so they have no chance to threaten Chelsea's goal, but this is Anfield after all, and all kinds of weird things may happen.

Including Mourinho, it is the same. Lin Yi seems to seize every moment to calm himself down.

Faria and Chelsea's team doctor have been checking Lin Yi's ribs and knee injuries. The impact on the ribs is now bruised. Faria really doubts whether this will affect Lin Yi's breathing.

The scratch on the right knee was also serious. It was a souvenir left by Carragher with his studs to block Lin Yi. Of course, the reckless guy also paid the price of a yellow card for this.

However, in Faria's opinion, those penalties were too light. If he were to enforce the law, at least three or four people on the other side would be sent off. Their fouls on Lin Yi were no longer normal means, they were simply murder.

"Damn, that damn Spaniard, what else can he do besides fouling!" Faria looked at the slightly scarred calf. This powder keg with a bad temper almost wanted to kill someone.

Faria's curse finally made some noise in the Chelsea locker room. Although his words made many Chelsea players a little worried about Lin Yi's injury, looking at the boy who had been silent, only Lampard beside him whispered a few words.

However, Lin Yi did not give too many answers. He just shook his head at Lampard, indicating that he was fine. As for the scar on his calf, he did not seem to care about it. Although he frowned when Faria and the team doctor were treating him, he did not say anything.

Faria knew how much damage this pure injury would cause to this kid, otherwise he would not be so angry.

Everyone was waiting for Mourinho to speak. After all, at this time, whether to continue the chaotic fighting style in the first half or to deal with the opponent according to his own rhythm step by step, all depends on the coach.

Whether to try to deal with the opponent at Anfield or to consider what to do after returning to Stamford Bridge, all depends on Mourinho's choice. There are still 45 minutes of the game. Whether to continue to bite Liverpool's bone, no one knows, and can only wait for Mourinho, a tough guy, to decide everything.

Mourinho knew that the players were waiting for him to speak. Whether he could beat the opponent and advance to the finals depended on his choice, whether to deal with the opponent in the second round or to destroy Liverpool's confidence in the first round. In fact, he hesitated for a long time on the sidelines.

He subconsciously glanced at Lin Yi and found that the little guy who had been keeping his head down and silent was also looking at him at this moment. Sometimes he and the kid didn't need too much language communication, just a glance was enough. In a short moment, he had understood the kid's thoughts.

"Fight hard, there are still forty-five minutes, even if we can't win, we will cripple half of the opponent's team!" Mourinho knew the dangers of his choice. If Lin Yi If you are injured, even if you make it to the finals, it will be a loss outweighing the gains.

But this was the little guy's own choice. He fought hard for forty-five minutes and didn't intend to let the game end like this. Even if his calves encountered more tackles and blocks, he didn't intend to just let it go. He fought hard. ! Shut up those Scousers at Anfield!

"Paul, get ready to go off. Gudjohnsen, I'll give you five minutes to warm up. We changed to two forwards in the second half and played 3-5-2. We continued to strengthen the offensive on the wing. Lin Yi continued to play guerrilla on the court, holding us back. Opponents, especially those three guys in the middle, don’t let them cover up!”

Mourinho used this tactical adjustment to tell his players what he was going to do. He replaced Ferreira and replaced him with a forward. Instead of considering the stable four defenders, he added a forward. This represents Chelsea intend to take down their opponents at Anfield.

Since Drogba has the possibility of being flanked by his opponent, now with two centers, plus Lampard lingering behind them, this kind of attack will fully penetrate into the opponent's penalty area, looking for all available opportunities, relying on the two A cross from the wing shattered the opponent's defense, and Lin Yi's task was to continue to create pressure on the opponent, especially the three midfielders, and not give them a chance to retreat.

This arrangement is to continue to create chaos in the opponent's penalty area. Since the opponent wants to play so brilliantly, then let the game become more chaotic, win in the chaos, severely suppress the opponent's formation, and let their goal always Feel the threat of an attack.

However, Mourinho knows that his arrangement must rely on Lin Yi's crazy attacks to continue, which will attract the attention of Haman and others. Similarly, such involvement is likely to put Lin Yi in danger of injury at any time, but to To defeat your opponent, you must take risks.

Lin Yi's look just now was telling Mourinho that he planned to continue doing this, and either his opponent would be sent off or he would be carried off. He was not going to give in, just as Mourinho estimated, even if If he doesn't win this game, he will also make his opponent despair.

The impact of the first half has dealt with both Hamann and Alonso. Liverpool's defense also has Finnan and Hyypia who did not receive yellow cards. If Hyypia can also stop playing in the next game, then even if The opponent can keep the home game, but they are also dead on the road.

Substitution is only the first step in Mourinho's tactical adjustment. After all, a defender was replaced, which made Chelsea's defense slightly thin. In order to prevent the opponent's sneak attack, Mourinho specifically told Makelele not to take it easy. Give Luis Garcia any chance.

"Keep an eye on the Spaniard. Even if it's a foul, I don't want to see him have any chance to threaten our goal." Regarding Mourinho's order, Makelele said there was no doubt that he could do it in the first half. Make that guy disappear, same thing for the second half.

Terry's mission is to seal Baros away. After suffering losses in the two confrontations after the opening, Terry has made the strong Czech become invisible in the next 40 minutes. His mission in the second half Just keep putting pressure on that guy and not give him any chance.

The task of Carvalho and Gala is to lock the two wings. In order to prevent the opponent from making a desperate move, Mourinho also needs to consider the success rate of defense. From intercepting in the midfield to suppressing the opponent with offense on the wing, he has The most thorough arrangement was achieved.

During the fifteen minutes of the intermission, I don’t know what will happen to the Liverpool team. Anyway, Chelsea is sharpening their sharp knife. They have already made up their mind to win the game at the opponent’s home court. Even if those guys are crazy enough, Then they are not going to give up.

Before these guys walked out of the locker room, a dozen lunatic-like guys let out wild roars, and everyone's face was filled with fierce expressions. Since you want to play so rough, then we at Chelsea will accompany you. in the end!

Mourinho was the last to walk out of the locker room. Lin Yi walked in front of him. Mourinho patted the kid on the shoulder and said, "Be careful, don't get hurt. Istanbul is still waiting for you. We have a second chance." Lifting the Champions League trophy for the first time, I don’t want to lose the core of the midfield before the final.”

The kid didn't answer anything. He just gave Mourinho a thumbs up when he turned around, but his expression didn't require any words.

When Lin Yi is ready to risk everything, he already has the ability to destroy everything, don't you believe it? Just wait and see. . .

(The Grizzlies were defeated by themselves today. It seems that the Mavericks are going to beat the Thunder in the finals, and the biggest possibility in the Eastern Conference is the Heat PK the Bulls. Maybe this is really the best moment for the Heat to win the championship...)

The Grizzlies played really poorly in the fourth quarter today. . .
