The position of two to three meters is enough for a world-class center to perform, which is very dangerous.
Seeing the football flying in quickly, Liverpool's defensive players were shocked and moved closer to Chelsea center Drogba. This was a subconscious reaction caused by the sudden relaxation of tension. Everyone immediately pounced on the ball.
The biggest threat to the team is Drogba.
Therefore, Liverpool's defensive players all pounced on Drogba. However, when the football flew over their heads, he was shocked and realized that something was wrong. The ball was not passed to Drogba.
The football flew over everyone's heads and flew directly to the back of the goal.
"Paulo Ferreira!" Sky Sports commentator Tim Laursen suddenly saw a figure flashing behind him. A player wearing a Chelsea blue jersey rushed up and volleyed directly towards the ball before it landed.
Squirting, he roared crazily in an instant.
Yes, it was Chelsea's Portuguese full-back Paulo Ferreira who rushed up from behind. This guy followed up very promptly. Without any pause, he directly met the ball and fired a volley.
Boom! There was a loud noise, and then the football immediately shot toward the Liverpool goal like a bullet.
Because everyone's attention was on Drogba, they ignored the defense at the back point. By the time they reacted, their roommates were already in a hurry. Similarly, Liverpool goalkeeper Reina in the middle could not react in time, although he still made a sideways dive.
The ball went out, but it was obviously half a beat slow. The football flew into the Liverpool goal quickly, lifting the white net high.
"Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal..." Sky Sports commentator Tim Laursen roared crazily, "In the 34th minute of the first half, the home team Chelsea scored, and the goal was - Paul~~ Ferreira
!”
"Ferreira! Ferreira! Ferreira!" Chelsea fans cheered in unison at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea fans were so excited that the evil in their hearts could finally come out. They were so excited that they went crazy.
stand up.
The Chelsea players in the stadium became even more crazy. They rushed into Liverpool's penalty area and pushed Ferreira to the ground. Then everyone pressed on him and played Jenga in the Liverpool penalty area.
The Chelsea players were very excited at this time. The emotions that had been suppressed for almost half the game finally burst out. Who the hell said that Chelsea are not as good as Liverpool? Who the hell said that Chelsea will definitely lose to Liverpool?
?
Victory belongs to us at Chelsea, no one can take it away, no one can take it away.
Chelsea's players were excited, and Chelsea's fans were even more excited. Liverpool's players and fans collectively lost their voices. Their advantage didn't last long before it was equalized. What a pity.
One to one, the two sides were tied at the 34th minute of the first half and returned to the same starting line.
After equalizing the score, Chelsea's morale was high, and their offensive pace obviously accelerated. They also invested more troops. Suddenly, Liverpool seemed a bit dangerous.
Deco in the middle dribbled the ball forward again, and Liverpool's defensive players immediately focused their energy. Qiu Ze also rushed forward immediately. This time Qiu Ze was much more cautious. He did not want to beat Deco to death with a stick.
Cut off the football from Deco's feet.
The Liverpool team has basically returned to their own half at this time, and now they are starting to defend as a whole team. Chelsea's offense has been very fierce recently. The Liverpool team temporarily avoided Chelsea's edge, waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback.
Deco wanted to break through many times, but was blocked by Qiu Ze. He also thought about passing the ball, but the Liverpool players were very defensive and he could not find a suitable point for the ball. He had to return the ball.
Pass the ball, pass the ball from the backcourt, and look for opportunities again.
Chelsea began to tip the ball in the backcourt, but the Liverpool players did not press hard, allowing Chelsea to tip the ball in the penalty area. This made the Chelsea fans very dissatisfied, and they immediately booed wildly.
It is a bitter satire for Liverpool's negative attitude towards the game.
But the Liverpool players didn't care and still went their own way. This made the Chelsea fans very angry. They immediately used louder boos to stimulate the Liverpool players, but the effect was not great.
At this moment, Chelsea's loyal Deco suddenly sent a long ball again, and this time the ball was sent directly to the feet of Paulo Ferreira on the wing. Yes, this time Deco changed sides, and the ball was on the wing.
Paulo Ferreira rushed forward quickly and easily won the football.
After winning the football, Liverpool's defensive player Arbeloa immediately pounced on Paulo Ferreira. He tried many breakthroughs, but unfortunately they were unsuccessful. He immediately passed the football back. Pass back.
Essien followed.
After Essien received the ball, he suddenly crossed the football, and the football rolled directly to the feet of Lampard in the middle. Lampard saw that Liverpool's defense was very tight, and it was actually difficult to penetrate it, so he immediately moved the football slightly
Think about it, take a step, and then directly take a long shot from a position 35 meters away from the goal.
"Lampard!" Sky Sports commentator Tim Laursen was surprised. He didn't expect that Lampard would suddenly take a long shot from such a far position.
Boom, Lampard hit the football hard, and the football immediately flew towards Liverpool's goal like a meteor.
The height of the ball was not good, but the ball was very fast. It quickly flew through the gaps between the Liverpool players and flew directly into the Liverpool penalty area.
In front of the goal, Liverpool goalkeeper Reina immediately jumped out. His feet were like springs, and his body shot out with a swish. His straight hands immediately saved the football from the baseline.
"Wow! Miraculous save, Reina saved Lampard's long shot, great!" Sky Sports commentator Gary Lineker exclaimed.
In fact, it is difficult to save such a long-range shot, which requires accurate judgment and quick enough reaction. Reina did it this time, and the Liverpool fans at the scene immediately gave the warmest applause.
Reina.
Corner kick, the home team Chelsea got a corner kick opportunity.
Chelsea's tall men rushed into Liverpool's penalty area. This time, only one of Chelsea's two central defenders went up, Carvalho went up, and Terry stayed.
This is because Chelsea's last counterattack by Liverpool is still fresh in their memory, and they don't want to give Liverpool such a chance again, so they are much more cautious and not too rash.
Chelsea has a great advantage in headers, and Chelsea is the team that has scored the most corner kicks in the Premier League this season. Their corner kicks are very threatening. Liverpool's defensive players did not dare to underestimate them at all and followed up one after another.
Chelsea players around me.
At this time, the referee blew the service whistle, and Deco immediately kicked the football out. However, the placement surprised everyone. This time, Deco unexpectedly drove the football out of the penalty area.
Instead of sending it to the heads of the Chelsea players.
The football quickly flew to the front of the penalty area. Chelsea's Lampard drew his bow and arrow at the front of the penalty area and fired a volley.
Fortunately, Qiu Ze reacted in time, rushed out immediately, jumped up to block Lampard, and interfered for a while. Lampard did not hit the ball well, and the football flew directly out of the baseline. Chelsea missed another opportunity.
.
It didn't take long for Reina to directly drive the football out. The football flew towards the frontcourt and landed on the head of Fernando Torres. Fernando Torres immediately pushed the football to the feet of Qiu Ze who was following behind, and he turned around quickly
Rushing towards Chelsea's penalty area.
Qiu Ze did not stop the ball and directly picked up the football that Fernando was pushing. The football went directly over the head of Deco who was rushing up. At the same time, it also went over the heads of Fernando Torres and Essien. The football went directly to Fernando?
Torres fell in front of him.
Seeing the football falling in front of him, the Spanish forward looked up at Chelsea's goal, and then without saying a word, he hit the falling football with one kick.
With a bang, Fernando Torres volleyed directly.
The ball was very powerful. The football flew out from the feet of Fernando Torres, flew upwards quickly, and then suddenly fell rapidly when it was in the penalty area. The ball fell very fast. This was the biggest volley.
specialty.
Such a volley makes it very difficult for the goalkeeper to defend. The difficulty is that he cannot judge when the ball will fall, let alone how fast the ball will fall.
Therefore, Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech was very nervous in front of the goal. However, he flew out quickly, stretched his hands straight out, and touched the football. Unfortunately, he did not touch the football. The Chelsea fans at the scene were immediately stunned.
Shocked.
"Oh! What a pity! The football missed the goal slightly, what a pity!" Sky Sports commentator Tim Laursen roared with regret.
Yes, this goal is very regrettable, because the ball almost missed the post on the right side of Chelsea's goal and flew out of the baseline. This was really a hair's breadth.
Liverpool fans put their heads in their hands and covered their faces, lamenting that this opportunity was such a pity and such a waste.
At this time, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half. The two sides ended the first half in a one-to-one draw, with Liverpool scoring an away goal.
This solution is of course unacceptable to Chelsea. This is their home court, and they must defeat Liverpool at their home court. Only then will they feel confident, because the second round will be played at Liverpool's home court, where
, they have no confidence in winning.
Therefore, during the halftime break, Chelsea head coach Luiz Felipe Scolari only emphasized one point, that is, offense, we must score goals in the second half of the game, score as many goals as possible, and we must win this game.
, so that the initiative can be in their hands.
Of course, Scolari was not worried about his defense. When he reminded the players to attack, he also asked the Chelsea players to pay attention to defense, so as not to give Liverpool a chance to counterattack. It can be seen that in the first half of the game, Liverpool
Scolari's counterattack has made Scolari a little scared.
The current result is acceptable to Liverpool. They got an away goal. Therefore, they should not be anxious in the second half of the game. It is Chelsea who should be anxious now. Therefore, Benitez asked the Liverpool players to follow the rules of the first half.
Just play tactically on the field.
Soon, the fifteen minutes of halftime passed, and the second half of the game was about to begin. Players from both sides immediately returned to the court to start the second half of the game.
At the beginning of the second half, Liverpool kicked off first. After kicking off, Liverpool did not rush to attack. Instead, they started to reverse their feet in the midfield and backcourt. This made the anxious Chelsea players immediately pounce out. The midfielder took the ball.
Qiu Ze suddenly discovered the gap in Chelsea's defense and immediately passed the ball towards Chelsea's half.
