Chelsea got a free kick in the midfield. The ball was too far away from the goal and it was impossible to shoot directly. Michael Ballack passed the ball to Essien next to him and the game continued.

After the game restarted, Chelsea fans still did not let go of the Liverpudlians and loudly sarcastically cursed the Liverpool players.

Liverpool's players didn't care about this at all at this time. They focused all their energy on the game. They now have one goal in mind, which is to defeat Chelsea and advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League.

The ball was at Chelsea's feet, and Liverpool's players pressed very hard, and their movements were very large and fierce. This made it difficult for Chelsea to get the ball and lose control of the football.

Under the leadership of Qiu Ze, Liverpool's players were like hungry wolves, frantically pounced on Chelsea's players, forcing the football at Chelsea's feet.

Chelsea now have a 4-1 lead on aggregate. In their opinion, they have basically won this game. Therefore, the Chelsea people put on a defensive posture, and they must firmly control the football at their feet.

to slow down Liverpool's attack.

Yes, Chelsea will defend to the end at this time.

Chelsea's actions made Liverpool fans very dissatisfied. They used boos to ridicule and stimulate Chelsea people, hoping to attract Chelsea people out.

Obviously Chelsea people will not be fooled. What have they not seen before? This is simply trivial for Liverpool fans.

Although Liverpool's players were very active and pressed very fiercely, at the end of the first half, they still did not get any good opportunities.

The referee blew the whistle to end the first half. The away team Chelsea led Liverpool by one goal, extending the total score to four to one. Now Liverpool was really pushed to the edge of the cliff.

After returning to the locker room, Liverpool's players were not in a low mood. Instead, they gave people a feeling that they were very motivated. This made Liverpool's head coach Benitez feel very good. He just likes to see such players.

, never admit defeat at any time.

The Liverpool players had already figured it out when the first half was about to end. Qiu Ze's words were like an earthquake, causing the Liverpool players to wake up instantly. At this time, the Liverpool players were in high spirits, as if they were about to rush to the front line.

warrior.

Benitez was very satisfied with the state of the players at this time. He immediately encouraged the Liverpool players and arranged Liverpool's tactics for the second half.

At this point, Liverpool has no other way out but to attack. At this point, Benitez made an unexpected move, which was to move Xavi Alonso's position forward.

Standing parallel to Qiu Ze, acting as a double attacking midfielder.

Gerrard's position is further back and in the center, forming a single defensive midfielder posture. The positions of the two full midfielders have not changed at all.

This move of Benitez is very dangerous, as the defense in the midfield and backfield will appear very weak. However, the offense has indeed been strengthened, and it seems that Benitez is now going to make a last ditch effort.

Benitez is still very confident in Liverpool. In his opinion, it is not a desperate situation for Liverpool now. They only need to score three goals to tie Chelsea on the score, and then the two sides will play extra time.

Time games or even penalty shootouts are fine.

Of course, when setting up tactics, Benitez still hopes that the team can score as many goals as possible and strive to get rid of Chelsea in regular time.

On the other side, Scolari was not complacent at this time. He knew that although Chelsea had a great advantage so far in the game, it did not mean that they had won. Their opponent, Liverpool, was not a good one.

opponents to deal with.

Think about Istanbul in 2005. In the UEFA Champions League final that year, Liverpool fell behind the Rossoneri 0-3 in the first half. At that time, almost everyone thought that the Liverpool people were finished.

However, just fifteen minutes later, Liverpool seemed to be a new team. They performed a miracle in the second half of the game, tied the Rossoneri 3-3, defeated the Rossoneri in a penalty shootout, and finally won the championship that year.

of the UEFA Champions League.

This is a team full of resilience, and no difficulty can overwhelm them. We definitely cannot take it lightly when playing against them until the whistle ends.

In the locker room, Chelsea coach Luiz Felipe Scolari kept telling the Chelsea players not to show any sign of relaxing, to be 100% committed, to persist until the end of the game, and to never underestimate the Liverpool team.

It can be said that the Chelsea players know the Liverpool team better. In fact, without Scolari’s instructions, the Chelsea people will not underestimate the Liverpool people. They have suffered similar treatment from the Liverpool people before. This time, they will definitely not

Will let Liverpool succeed again.

During the halftime break, the Chelsea people were on alert. They would not give the Liverpool people a chance to make a comeback, for sure.

During the halftime break, the Anfield stadium did not stop. The fans from both sides seemed to be in high spirits. During the halftime break, the two sides kept fighting. The shouts from both sides were so loud that they went straight into the sky.

Fifteen minutes were very short, and within a short time, the players from both sides walked out of the tunnel and walked into Anfield Stadium, ready to start the second half of the game.

Seeing the players from both sides playing again, the Anfield stadium exploded again in an instant. The fans from both sides shouted so loudly that they almost knocked out the players from both sides.

"Okay, the players from both sides have come out, and the second half of the game is about to begin." Sky Sports commentator Tim Laursen said.

"In the first half, Chelsea took the lead with a weird goal. They also changed the total score to four to one, which pushed Liverpool to a dead end. After adjustments in the midfield,

I wonder what surprises Liverpool will bring to everyone?" Sky Sports commentator Gary Lineker immediately opened his mouth to guess.

"I don't know what surprises Liverpool will bring us? I only know that if Liverpool don't show their true skills, they will be finished." Sky Sports commentator Tim Laursen said worriedly

said.

Soon the players from both sides entered the court and stood in their respective positions. Then the referee blew the whistle and the second half of the game officially began.

"Judging from the scene, neither side made any personnel adjustments during the midfield. It was still the same lineup of both sides in the first half. It seems that Benitez is really stable." Sky Sports commentator

Tim Laurson frowned.

"Although there are no substitutions between the two sides, there are still some changes in Liverpool. We see that Xavi Alonso's position has been advanced. It seems that Benitez is going to give it a try." Sky Sports commentator Gary?

Lineker said immediately.

It was Chelsea who kicked off the second half. Chelsea had no intention of moving forward at all. They immediately sent the football back to the midfield and began to reverse the ball in the midfield. This should be the most common way Chelsea plays in the second half. Who is calling it?

Are they now 4-1 ahead?

It was a different scene for Liverpool. As soon as the whistle sounded, the Liverpool players rushed into Chelsea's half like mad dogs and started to press crazily. The movements were really big and rough, but the effect was

It still seems pretty good.

Chelsea's players saw that the game was almost won. They were all afraid of getting injured in such a game. Therefore, they were afraid of Liverpool's crazy pressing. Therefore, they increased the number and speed of passes and knocked the football back and forth.

.

Even Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech joined them, and this guy became the fifth player in Chelsea's defense, frequently receiving and passing the ball.

Seeing Chelsea's negative game, the Liverpool fans at the scene couldn't stand it, and they loudly sarcastically cursed the shameless Chelsea people, calling them cowards.

However, Chelsea's players remained indifferent and continued to play their football in the backcourt without any impact at all.

At this time, Qiu Ze was rushing towards the football like a hungry wolf, rushing here and there. Liverpool's players are the same as Qiu Ze. They all work very hard and fight very hard. This makes Liverpool

The fans were so moved that they immediately sang the Liverpool team anthem "You'll Never Walk Alone". They responded to the Liverpool players who came to the speedway to fight - you will never walk alone!

Under the moving songs of the Liverpool fans, the Liverpool players worked harder and harder, running faster and more frequently. However, the pressure on the Chelsea players was increasing. They were passing the ball.

The time was no longer as relaxed and freehand as before, and there was even a trace of panic.

At this time, under Qiu Ze's crazy pressing, German Michael Ballack made a mistake in his pass.

The German's pass was a little lighter and was directly intercepted by Xavi Alonso who rushed up.

"Liverpool! Charge!" Seeing Xabi Alonso cut off the football, the Liverpool fans at the scene immediately went crazy. They shouted and roared loudly.

"The ball has been stolen. This is a good opportunity. Let's see how Xabi Alonso handles it?" Sky Sports commentator Tim Laursen was also surprised when he saw this.

This was indeed a good opportunity. Xavi Alonso intercepted the ball in a very good position, right between Chelsea's midfielder line and the back line. As soon as Xavi Alonso intercepted the ball, he broke through Chelsea's back line.

The waistline is directly facing Chelsea's defense.

This ball is very threatening!

The Liverpool fans at the scene were very excited. Their singing became louder and louder, almost suppressing the exclamations of the Chelsea fans.

After Xabi Alonso intercepted the ball, he immediately dribbled the ball forward and rushed towards Chelsea's defense. Chelsea's defenders were shocked, and then Chelsea's center back captain Terry immediately stepped out to block the ball.

Xavi Alonso.

At the same time, Michael Ballack, who had just had the ball stolen, was also frantically chasing after Xavi Alonso, who was dribbling the ball. In addition, Chelsea's Essien was frantically chasing Qiu Ze, another attacking midfielder of Liverpool.

Seeing Chelsea defender Terry rushing out, Xabi Alonso immediately swung his leg and passed the football to Fernando Torres in the penalty area.
