spnChelsea forwards Didier Drogba and Joe Cole are standing in the center circle waiting for the referee's opening whistle.
Li Yu looked at the two of them, especially the Ivory Coast striker Drogba, who was known as the World of Warcraft. He had an angular face and a hairband on his forehead to block his long shawl hair. Not many African players had long hair. They were either bald or had an unconventional and weird hair.
hairstyle.
At this time, Li Yu couldn't help but think of the other nickname "African Andy Lau" given to this African man by Chelsea fans in China. Not to mention, the angular face and straight nose bridge really resembled Andy Lau.
, of course there is no need to consider skin color.
The referee blew his whistle, and Li, who was still distracted before the game started, finally focused his attention on the field.
Not long after the start, the home team Chelsea took advantage of the ball and immediately organized several threatening wing attacks. Everton central defender Yabo made several passes from the Blues on the back line.[
To be honest, the home team's center back Carvalho also made an accurate tackle to resolve the dangerous situation.
The offensive and defensive rhythm on the field was driven by Chelsea as soon as it came up. From this, it can be seen that Mourinho must have made arrangements before the game.
The Chinese fans were in a good mood this time. Both sides played neither conservatively, and the scene was extremely exciting. They did not see Everton live in the two rounds. Compared with the previous complaints, the Chinese fans were very happy to see such a scene.
The golden partners of the live broadcast commentary are even more dedicated to the commentary, especially Huang Jianxiang. From time to time, he is also responsible for answering interactive text messages sent by fans.
"Finally, I saw Li Yu get the ball. It was beautiful. The Nigerian teenager Mikel was obviously no match for Li Yu. He was easily passed by Li Yu as he accelerated with the ball!" Su Dong stared at the live screen and explained excitedly, "
Damn it, Terry's high post defense was so courageous, and the ball was lost! In just a moment of connection, the ball was intercepted by Terry's foot. It must be said that Terry's defensive action was very clean, he didn't
And guilty!"
"In this game, Li Yu, as Everton's single striker, will face great defensive resistance from Chelsea's midfield and backcourt, even far more than in all the games he has participated in before. Without the assistance of his striker teammates, everyone can see that.
Look at who he has to face alone. The midfield defenders, Essien, Mikel, and Lampard who return to defense from time to time. It is not easy to be able to smoothly hold the ball near the midfield.
Coupled with Terry's focus on the defense!" Huang Jianxiang took over the words and helped the fans analyze Li Yu's situation, "Actually speaking, the two teams were surprisingly consistent in their formations for this game.
They are all single arrows, and the two wingers are active to make a fuss and take the ball. The key on the field now is the midfielder. Whoever can control the situation in the midfield, then the guns will be continuously sent to the front line!"
Not long after, the situation on the field was exactly as Huang Jianxiang said. The midfield battle began to become fierce. The quick passes at the beginning were all aimed at not getting entangled with the opponent. They chose to pass through the midfield quickly. After 10 minutes,
From left to right of the game, neither side could allow the other to pass through the midfield defense so easily. No one wanted to lose control of the midfield. The pace of the game also gradually slowed down, and now it has entered the stage of fierce battle in the midfield.
Chelsea has two core players in Mourinho's tactics in this game. One is Joe Cole in front, and the other is Lampard who can play up and down. When the midfield is busy, Lampard
Germany's long pass is a secret weapon Mourinho has prepared for Everton.
During the midfield press, Lampard intercepted Arteta's pass and immediately made a long pass. At this time, Drogba suddenly accelerated forward. Judging from the tacit understanding, this was definitely something that had been practiced before the game.
Mourinho had been waiting for this moment, rushing to the sideline in two steps, nervously watching the Chelsea attack directed by him.
Everton can only choose to chase back at this time. If they jump up to intercept the header, then Warcraft can easily dribble the ball into Everton's penalty area. In desperation, Yabo is holding Drogba's hand from behind.
Jersey, one foot tripping, tactical foul is definitely the most cost-effective deal.
Drogba fell to the ground in an instant. This time the Ivorian fell really hard. If it weren't for the kindness of fellow Africans, the hot-tempered monster might have grabbed Yabo's neck, but he refused to do it.
Impurity is also inevitable.
Yabo knew what he would get for this foul, so he had nothing to say and walked away silently to prepare for the wall.
Of course, the referee would not let Yabo slip away and ran to the Nigerians and showed him a yellow card.
There were really no accidents on the field, but it was different off the field. Mourinho watched helplessly as a perfect opportunity disappeared. How could he just let it go and excitedly gestured with his cards on the sidelines?
, but when he realized that the red card shown by the referee was not what he thought, he kicked the water bottle under his feet towards the visiting team's coaching bench.
Moyes was not good at it either. He found an unknown object flying towards him and kicked it back again.
How could the actions of the head coaches on both sides escape the eyes of the fourth official? He quickly got up and walked to Mourinho to issue a warning.
When the Portuguese got angry, he was always unyielding. As soon as the fourth official came to him and finished his warning, he began to talk excitedly about the situation on the court.
The referee ran over and gave Mourinho a yellow card without hesitation. Not to mention, the unruly Portuguese really endured it this time, waved his hand and turned back to the coaching bench.
It was really the first time for Li Yu to see such a head coach. Not to mention jumping up and down outside the court, it is estimated that the attention of the whole audience was also directed to the head coach at this time.[
If Li Yu knew that today was a good day, I really don't know what kind of expression he would have.
The turmoil outside the field temporarily stopped, and now it was Chelsea's turn to take the free kick. Lampard took a powerful free kick, which was slightly higher than the goal, attracting bursts of exclamations from the fans at the scene.
In the 15th minute, Arteta made a pass from the left. Li Yu grabbed a header far in front of Terry. Pienaar flew from 12 yards in the middle and tried to put the ball into the goal. Unfortunately, he did not touch the ball and missed it.
Chance.
In the 16th minute, Lampard passed a free kick from the right, and Drogba's shot from the edge of the penalty area was blocked by Cahill.
In just one minute, the two sides continued to stage offensive and defensive battles. The game seemed to have returned to the opening stage, and the rhythm of the game accelerated again.
Regarding the control of the rhythm of the game, it is obvious that Mourinho's team has gradually gained the upper hand. Both sides may not suffer in the midfield battle, but Chelsea can change the offensive rhythm on the field at any time, which is still more than Everton.
Li Yu only had two pitiful chances to touch the ball in the first half, and once he headed the ball in the penalty area. Chelsea's defense against Li Yu is still relatively good at the moment, and at least it successfully curbed Li Yu's performance. This is Mourinho
The smart thing is to deploy heavy troops around Li Yu to prevent him from getting the ball. Without the ball, Li Yu's threat can be reduced to a minimum. This is Chelsea's way of dealing with Li Yu.
Moyes also noticed the unfavorable situation on the front line in the first 20 minutes, but he was a little hesitant. Now the midfielder can barely hold on, but once a forward is replaced to support Li Yu, the offense may open up the situation. What about the midfielder?
It will definitely be difficult. One is possible and the other is certain. Moyes decided to take another look. After all, making a substitution decision before the first half is over is also an insult to the players to be replaced.
Everton did not make a substitution, but soon after, Chelsea had to make a substitution. During a corner kick attack, Terry ran into the Everton penalty area to grab the point. Li Yu's marking task was handed over to another central defender Kava.
A little bit on the body.
Who would have known that after the Everton goalkeeper picked up the ball in the air, he immediately launched an attack with his big feet. Li Yu leaned against Carvalho behind him and prepared to take the ball.
Of course, Carvalho couldn't let Li Yu succeed and kept increasing his defensive intensity. But no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't resist the young man in front of him who didn't seem to be too strong. The clay figure also had three-point fire, not to mention his tall stature.
Carvalho is not a clay figure. He bumped Li Yu with his foot and started to squeeze forward with his shoulder. This was playing tricks on him!
But Cavallo's 29-year-old waist was not strong at the critical moment. Li Yu didn't know what was going on. Just when he felt a little unsteady, he heard an "Ouch!"
Carvalho fell to the ground in pain!
"I didn't touch him! Why did he suddenly fall down? It's a pity that this offensive opportunity was wasted!" Although Li Yu felt a little regretful, he still raised his hand reluctantly to indicate that someone was injured and asked the referee to stop the game.
After the Chelsea team doctor came on the scene to check, he immediately signaled for substitution.
"That's the end. This uncle accidentally used too much force and his waist slipped out of the way? He doesn't look that weak!" Li Yu didn't know Carvalho's true age. Intuitively, the bald Portuguese should be about the same age.
He is so young that he calls himself uncle in his heart.
Mourinho felt that he had suffered a dumb loss, and he believed that it was Li Yu who did something small. At that time, his attention was on the Everton penalty area, and he really didn't pay attention to what was going on in the backcourt, but there was definitely something wrong.
.
After being sulky and angry, people still had to be replaced. In the 29th minute, Ben Haim replaced Carvalho, who had a waist injury.
Carvalho himself felt embarrassed, but he had already made up his mind to kill him even though he was hurt.
The other Chelsea players on the field who didn't know the truth, but didn't know the truth, and the head coach off the field had the same idea. Carvalho let this kid get into trouble!
Especially Terry, as the captain on the field, felt that he would soon show this kid his ability.[
The Chelsea players on the field began to increase their movements in response to Li Yu's defense, especially Terry's kicks with his feet and the ball. Especially when defending high-altitude balls, the two of them were close to each other, and their elbows kept pushing against each other.
On Li Yu's waist.
"Chelsea players obviously started to target Li Yu. How many times did he fall to the ground in just 5 minutes?" Su Dong also felt sorry for Li Yuming.
