There is a dream called football

Chapter 229 Drogba is No. 9 and a half

In this game, Mourinho did not start Robben, but let Icelander Gudjohnsen start at the front, forming a double center tactic with Drogba.

This was Mourinho's ingenuity, but it turned out that the effect was mediocre, and Liverpool's starting lineup was still the same.

After the start, the two sides played almost as usual, a typical Premier League rhythm. If you don't watch the news, you will mistakenly think that this is a Premier League game, but in fact it is not, this is the Champions League semi-finals.

In fact, Chelsea were also very tired at this time. Their Portuguese defender, Ferreira, who was bought from Porto, was injured. Mourinho had no choice but to use Johnson, a young full-back that Li Qiao had never even heard of.

His great name.

The two sides were head-to-head in the midfield, with Gerrard not losing to Lampard, so Chelsea couldn't take any advantage.

Suddenly Joe Cole passed the ball to Drogba in front, which was outside the penalty area, so Hamann followed two steps, but did not follow up.

I thought Drogba was no threat outside the penalty area, but what I didn't expect was that he suddenly turned around, then flew up with a kick and shot in the air.

This shocked the Liverpool fans into a cold sweat. It was unbelievable. Now Drogba is such a threat outside the penalty area?

The ball didn't go in, but the shock it brought to the opponent was obvious. This is the power of Drogba, the monster in front of the penalty area.

Mourinho has already stood up and applauded. He has been very optimistic about Drogba's potential since he was still in Marseille. He feels that Drogba is not just an engineering hammer, he can do more.

For example, coming back to pick up a friend.

In fact, Drogba later also had a very accurate free kick. For example, when Drogba later played in the American Major League, he often scored long-range free kicks, which was also amazing.

Benitez was a little stunned by this, because Drogba's style of play is completely different from that in the league. Usually in the league, Drogba is a violent man in the penalty area, while Chelsea uses both sides.

The road was so strong that he passed the ball to Drogba, who then smashed the ball into the goal in a complicated way, that's it.

Benitez also prepared for this game, but unexpectedly Mourinho changed his formation and Drogba became No. 9 and a half.

This can only be described as magical!

Benitez gestured to Hamann to take certain care of the area in front of the penalty area. After all, this is a very important thing.

It is difficult for a German tough guy like Hamann to deal with Drogba. I have to say that Drogba had unlimited possibilities when he was young. He was the dominant player on the court.

Mourinho was very happy, at least his tactics once again contained the opponent. At this moment, Drogba suddenly passed the ball to Gudjohnsen on the other side after taking the ball in front of the penalty area, and the latter pushed the ball.

The player is in the far corner, but the angle is average and cannot escape Dudek's block.

"This nigger has made great progress," Benitez thought to himself.

But this can only be thought about. If he says it out, he will be fined. However, he is indeed very impressed with Mourinho. He is very skillful in training players and can develop some hidden attributes.

At this moment, what happened on the court was that Hamann and Drogba had a small conflict in front of the penalty area, and the referee also awarded a free kick.

This is a headache for Liverpool. Chelsea has many free kick experts, such as Lampard, Joe Cole, and even Drogba can take free kicks.

The last person standing in front of the ball was Lampard. It must have been a violent shot. The wall must be tougher. Dudek lined up a wall of 6 people and jumped up and down in front of the goal, hoping to block the opponent to the greatest extent.

shooting angle.

On the other side, Benitez was also wondering whether this was a free kick, which meant that Lampard would not take the shot.

This is very possible, after all, Mourinho is too tricky, but there is nothing he can do. It is difficult to adjust the free kick tactics on the spot.

The referee blew the whistle, and Lampard slowly took a run-up, then hit the ball with his kick, and the ball flew towards the goal like a cannonball.

But halfway through, someone touched it and the ball changed direction. Then Dudek couldn't make the save and the ball went in!!

The fans at Stamford Bridge started celebrating.

The entire Blue Bridge was as happy as if it was Christmas again, but Dudek looked helpless as the ball actually refracted.

Benitez had been expecting the opponent to play a very exquisite combination, but what he didn't expect was that such a simple shot was refracted, and then... it went in.

"Oh my god, Chelsea is so lucky."

The back view of the Chelsea players hugging each other shows the somewhat disappointed Red Army. Looking at Mourinho, he looks calm. This actually makes Benitez even more uncomfortable, because it shows that he doesn't care at all.

Restart the ball.

The initiative still lies with Chelsea, and Liverpool can only get some sporadic counterattack opportunities.

This is very normal in Benitez's view, because he also expected it, and Liverpool would use these counterattack opportunities to score goals.

Goal!

After getting the away goal, Mourinho will not be able to laugh anymore. This is Benitez's idea.

Alonso passed Makelele and then passed the ball to Baros in front. The Czech got the ball and was surrounded.

He could only control the ball, but it was impossible to move forward, but he had already seen Li Qiao from the corner of his eye.

So he passed the ball with one kick. After Li Qiao got the ball, he ran forward. Here was Johnson. His idea was to pass the ball or even shoot directly, because Liverpool could only get some sporadic shooting opportunities, and Li Qiao couldn't.

He waited for his teammates to come up and then started a very complicated coordination, so he took a flying kick.

This script was originally a try, but the effect was unexpectedly good. It went directly in. The ball hit the near corner and Cech was caught off guard.

Stamford Bridge was immediately silent, because no one expected that such a goal could be scored, and it seemed so ordinary.

It was just a pass and then a shot. It didn't seem to have any technical content, but it went in.

Li Qiao was hugged by his excited teammates, an away goal as precious as gold, how great this is.

Mourinho chuckled. He hoped to see Li Qiao perform so well, so that he could convince his boss to acquire Li Qiao in the summer.

No matter what, Mourinho wants to take his former disciple under his wing next season and take Li Qiao to a higher stage.

1 to 1 is more favorable for Liverpool, because the importance of an away goal has been obvious in the previous games. In many cases, this is the key to the team's victory.
