There is a dream called football

There was a stalemate on the pitch, but Abramovich in the stands was very indifferent. He was quite satisfied with Mourinho's first season as manager. Now he is very likely to win the Champions League, which is great.

The assistant next to Abramovich smiled and said: "That Li Qiao is really good. Jose has always wanted to get him. I think Xia Tian can take action."

"Leave it to Jose, I don't mind spending tens of millions of pounds more in the summer."

For the Russian tycoon, money is the most important thing he lacks. His acquisition of Chelsea is just like us ordinary people playing football manager.

"By the way, how much is the prize for winning the Champions League? You still have to make an idea about this."

Abu chuckled and said, "As long as he wins the championship, Jose can get the bonus himself."

hehe.

Other clubs rely on Champions League bonuses to survive, but Chelsea does not need Champions League bonuses as club operating expenses. It doesn't matter if Abramovich himself pays for it.

On the pitch, the game between the two sides was still very stalemate. Chelsea was still the one in possession of the ball, while Liverpool was still the one retreating on defense.

However, although Liverpool was the retreating side at this time, the mentality of both sides was completely different.

Since they already had an away goal, Liverpool didn't care, even if they had to hold on for 90 minutes.

At this time, Drogba once again got the ball in front of the penalty area, and Hamann still defended against him, blocking his shot path.

If Drogba suddenly slaps him in front of the penalty area, Dudek's side will not be able to bear it.

But what I didn't expect was that Drogba didn't turn around after taking the ball with his back, but instead knocked with his heel.

Just like this, four taels can lift a thousand catties.

The ball went back into the penalty area. Logically speaking, this was a feeling of great luck, but unexpectedly Gudjohnsen followed up. Fortunately, Carragher kept close defense, and at the last moment he took a kick.

The ball was blocked outside the penalty area.

Dudek patted Carragher and said, "Great job."

Mourinho applauded this time because Drogba's back-heel pass was the key to the game. Even the picky Mourinho thought the ball was too beautiful.

"Nice job."

But soon, Liverpool also passed the ball to the sharp knife. You have Zhang Liangji, I have the ladder, you have Drogba, and I have Li Qiao.

When Liverpool has the ball, it passes it to Li Qiao on the right. At this time, Li Qiao is like Salah later. He is a great threat to get the ball from the wing.

But this time Li Qiao thought simply. He thought Johnson was a rookie, so he wanted to speed up on the spot and pass him. But what he didn't expect was that it didn't happen. Johnson's speed of starting on the spot was very fast.

Trouble.

The most important thing about passing people is the suddenness of the first move. If the suddenness of the first move is lost, it will be difficult no matter how you perform the second move. After all, if players are 100 meters taller, then everyone is about the same, and

The person dribbling the ball will suffer more or less.

Li Qiao ran forward with the ball, and Johnson kept following him. Li Qiao knew that he could no longer pass because he was already entangled, so Li Qiao had a sudden idea and kicked Johnson.

The ball bounced off the baseline and Liverpool got a corner kick. Johnson was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Li Qiao to be so thief. He could kick the ball to himself and get a corner kick even when he had no chance at all.

What was even more unexpected was that Li Qiao simply took the corner kick himself this time. Li Qiao felt that he was in good condition today, so he wanted to try it himself.

Mourinho was a little nervous. He knew that Li Qiao's footwork was powerful, but his speed masked his other offensive talents.

Li Qiao drove the ball into the penalty area with a curved kick. Hyypia jumped up high in the middle of the penalty area and smashed the ball towards the goal. Mourinho did not expect that the ball was headed by a Liverpool player.

Bang.

The ball hit the goal beam hard and the whole goal shook.

Cech was stunned by this, and the entire Stamford Bridge fans were also stunned. Liverpool almost overtook him.

Benitez kicked the lawn hard.

He wanted to curse, but he didn't because he was afraid of being photographed. Not only that, he also stepped back on the grass he kicked up.

He said that he had no intention of damaging the stadium, and the fans at the scene also laughed.

But soon, the home fans realized something was wrong, and Liverpool, which was originally not dominant, gradually gained some control.

Especially in the midfield, this is also due to Gerrard's familiarity with Lampard. After all, both parties are teammates of the national team.

Benitez does not have the title of master tactician at this time, but he is undoubtedly the best tactician in Europe. He is the kind of coach who can dominate the game.

He also studied the opponent before the game. In fact, the opponent's midfielder is very tough, so his own midfielder cannot confront the opponent head-on, but just speed up the passing speed.

In fact, this was Guardiola's pass-and-control football later. Benitez is indeed a Spaniard, and he also likes to pass and control.

Makelele can run, but no matter how fast he can run, he will definitely not be able to roll the ball as fast, so in this case, Chelsea is a bit passive.

At this time, Mourinho's tactical thinking has not yet evolved to the extent of passing and controlling football. In his mind, it is very important to have two players who can run in the midfield. At this time, Chelsea's midfielder is Makelele.

and Thiago.

Both of them are the kind of people who can't run to death.

However, Mourinho's strongest point is his excellent adjustment ability. He immediately signaled for Makelele to come over.

"Don't run around, stand in front of the penalty area, they are treating you like a monkey, don't be fooled."

"good."

After the adjustment, Chelsea seemed more passive and completely lost the midfield. However, Benitez understood that this was of no use. Liverpool was ineffective in controlling the ball, while Chelsea was preserving its strength. In other words, as long as the team pressed forward, then Chelsea would

It can be pushed out immediately.

"The annoying and powerful Portuguese."

Anyone who has played against Mourinho has to admit that his team is very tough, fast and difficult to beat, but this person is also very annoying.

For the rest of the first half, both sides played in a bit of silence, as if their minds were not on the court, but in the locker room.

Even though the first half was only 1-1, it actually had a lot of connotations. Both sides played to a very high technical and tactical level.

Moreover, both sides ran a lot, especially Liverpool, who ran 30% more than usual.

In the end, the fans became a little impatient and booed here and there. You must know that the tickets for the Champions League semi-finals are very expensive, and everyone is not here to watch this kind of game.

The referee's whistle sounded, the first half was over, 1-1, both sides ran to the tunnel, they were too tired and needed to relax.
