Midfielder

Chelsea killed Liverpool with the most desperate stability in the home and away games, and killed the little hope that Liverpool fans had left. Ten minutes before the end of the game, the fans who had been waving the Liverpool team flag chose to leave quietly.

The thousands of people who were present left Stamford Bridge without looking back, leaving only the team that was still struggling on the field, and Benítez who was sitting silently in his temporary broadcast car outside the field.

At this moment, UEFA's punishment seemed to have become a kind of welfare. At least this unfortunate Spaniard did not have to accept those crazy boos in the field. If he was on the sidelines, I don't know how many Liverpool people would throw the things in their hands directly at him.

Because this depressing bald man ruined Liverpool. Not only that, his seemingly smart tactical arrangements never brought any essential changes to the team, and even the minimum chemical reaction did not appear.

Maybe Benítez estimated many possible situations before the game, but with so few people available, you really can't expect him to play any tricks. Just like what Mourinho said, even if you make him a god, he can't do anything with these people.

The game is played by people. Suddenly, half of the main players were reduced. Even Mourinho would probably stare blankly. You can only say that the personnel and lineup depth of Liverpool have determined the gap between the two teams. Of course, the wisdom of the two coaches is also the same.

Look at what Luis Garcia did on the court. He wasted Liverpool's only chance to score in the whole game. Gerrard's breakthrough had already attracted the attention of Chelsea's defense, and Luis Garcia was left with a single-knife breakthrough route.

Maybe just a slight knock on the football would allow him to face Cech's goal directly, but Luis Garcia's choice made Gerrard spit on the grass in frustration. With such a breakthrough opportunity, the guy actually chose to shoot directly.

Is this what a front midfielder should do? Damn choice! This kind of shot is more than ten meters away from the goal, and it was kicked in a hurry. You can imagine the result. Will Cech let such a shot turn into a goal? If so, you can doubt that this guy is letting the ball go.

This is Benítez's tactical arrangement. These are the players he trusts. These players he personally selected are the ones who use practical actions to protect the coach. No wonder when Luis Garcia was substituted, the Liverpool fans in the stands booed him.

Maybe those angry Liverpool fans are not questioning Luis Garcia. They are just telling the damn Spanish bald man in this way, look at the evil you have done! This is the player you trust the most! You are a bald man who has become an idiot!

One goal, one victory, Chelsea has maintained the myth of unbeaten at Stamford Bridge with desperate stability. I don't know who will break this myth in the future, but all the games of this season are over. If you want to win here, just wait until next season.

But never mind who will win the next game at Stamford Bridge, Benítez has no hope anyway. Although this guy emphasized after the game that his team played normally and did not lose in the away game, everyone knows how bad the game was.

There were nine shots in the whole game, only three attacks were launched in the penalty area, and only two directly threatened the goal. This is Liverpool's performance in the game. If this is still normal, then it can only be said that Liverpool has fallen.

On the other hand, Chelsea's attack is very sharp. They may not attack the goal for two or three minutes, but once their pass is launched, Liverpool's defense line can only run with it without moving, otherwise, there is a danger of being penetrated by the opponent.

It can be said that Chelsea did not press too much throughout the game. They were looking for opportunities in this counterattack. Often a counterattack can make the opponent retreat all the way. In such a round-trip consumption, Liverpool not only lost the attack, but also lost confidence.

This is the difference between the two teams. Both teams emphasize physical confrontation, but Chelsea has Lin Yi's ball distribution in the frontcourt, which makes the whole game very smooth, especially when attacking. Once he gets the ball, the opponent's defense line may be torn at any time.

Liverpool has no chance of stopping Lin Yi's performance without two or three main midfielders. Moreover, this kid is not confined to the middle in this game. Under Mourinho's instruction, this kid can run long without being restricted by position.

Mourinho dares to give Lin Yi such freedom. He also believes that such freedom will not disrupt the team's formation. Instead, it will make the opponent watch in vain that the kid continues to make trouble for himself. Lin Yi also confirmed this with the game. He is simply crazy.

The only thing that makes Lin Yi a little regretful is that Benitez is not on the sidelines. Otherwise, he really wants to see what kind of expression the Spaniard will have on his face at this moment. Will he still be so calm? Maybe, but Lin Yi has already hit back at the opponent with the result of the game.

Foul? OK, no problem, as long as you think fouls are useful, then go ahead. Lin Yi still tortured Liverpool's midfield with his breakthroughs in this game. The defense line, which was already cobbled together, paid the price of three yellow cards in order to stop this guy.

If Liverpool's acting head coach hadn't deliberately reminded the players at halftime not to give another red card, maybe they would have played the same game as the last one, but such a reminder would only make the Liverpool players more depressed, as they simply couldn't limit that kid.

Lin Yi sent a total of 117 passes throughout the game, with an accuracy rate of 93%. Almost every time he passed the ball, Dudek felt pressure in front of the goal. Looking at Liverpool, only Gerrard's breakthrough and long-range shots could bring such a threat.

However, when facing Makelele's blockade, Gerrard only had one long-range shot in the whole game, and that was the opportunity he got before the end of the game. It can be said that Liverpool's only engine was also locked up by the opponent. Can such a game still be said to be normal?

Then you can only say that Benítez's brain is broken, or that he has been driven crazy by this cruel reality. He finally made it to the semi-finals of the Champions League, but now all his fantasies are shattered. He originally hoped to make a breakthrough in the Champions League, but now there is no such possibility. Not only that, he also has to find a way to face the Liverpool fans who have been completely angered by his poor performance.

Want to know how angry Liverpool fans are after the game? It's very simple. Just look at the Liverpool fans surrounding Stamford Bridge. Those Liverpool fans who left early did not leave directly. They kept shouting outside the stadium, "Benitez! Get out!"

Including in the press conference after the game, this unfortunate Spaniard was harassed by the media from Liverpool. Those reporters even publicly asked, "After losing this semi-final, what is left for Liverpool? Can we only stay away from the European arena next season?"

Benítez may not know how to answer such a question. What to say? Admit it? Isn't that the same as slapping himself in the face? But don't admit it? The facts are in front of us. There is nothing wrong with what the reporter said. Liverpool is just so bad now.

They can't even hold on to the top six in the league. Even at the beginning of the league, they still hovered in the relegation zone for two or three rounds. For Liverpool, who were still in the top four last season, this is simply the most shameful stage.

Being eliminated early in the FA Cup may not be the most depressing for Liverpool, but being defeated by Chelsea in the League Cup has made them lose their last hope of competing for the English Championship. Now, let alone being defeated by the opponent in two games in the Champions League semi-finals.

Five consecutive defeats, this is Benitez's record against Mourinho. How bad luck does it take to be beaten by the opponent like this? The five games lost were simply no chance at all, and the most embarrassing one was the first round of the semi-finals.

In that game, not only did they lose the ball, but they also lost people. In these five games, Liverpool never had a chance to win. They even scored very few goals. The whole game was not under their control at all, and they were always led by their opponents.

It was hard to make those fans not angry with such a game, and it was five consecutive times. Not only the fans, but also the players seemed listless after the game. Except for Benítez who was in the mood to attend the press conference, all Liverpool players refused to be interviewed.

I believe that the Spaniard has also felt the pressure from all sides at this moment, but he did not give up the opportunity to continue to quarrel with Mourinho. According to this guy, if there were not so many penalties that were not conducive to the team in the first round, he would definitely win away.

"It was the referee's penalty that killed our victory. It would have been a very exciting semi-final match, but now everything has changed. We have lost too many main players, but the opponent has not been punished so far. This is the gap between us."

It is obvious that this Spanish bald man did not learn his lesson. After receiving two penalties, he did not wake up, but became even more aggressive. He even found fault with the referee in this game. It can only be said that this guy is now looking for excuses for the defeat.

But such excuses and pretexts cannot change the final result. Less than ten hours after the game, Liverpool Club announced to the outside world that they had negotiated with Benitez to terminate the contractual relationship between the two parties after this season.

Another unlucky guy was tortured out of class by Lin Yi and Mourinho. I really don’t know how many more people these two guys will torture. . .
