Chapter 503 Break the deadlock
After Benitez gave the order, the midfielder who controlled the ball waved and signaled to follow him. Two full-backs, Riser and Finan, who were suppressed by the near half, took the lead in pressing forward, responded on the sidelines, pulled out Chelsea's defense, and created space for dribbling and cooperation for their midfielders and forwards.
Of course, Chelsea has the ability to compete for the midfield and ball rights, but they have always focused on defensive counterattacks, not caring whether the Frigid kick is in hand or control of the midfield. They shrink their defense, let Liverpool enter their half, and then strengthen pressing at the front of their own penalty area, waiting for the opportunity to counterattack.
Seeing Liverpool suddenly speed up the pace of the offense, the team also raised its shape by at least ten meters forward. Chelsea and Liverpool fans in the stands, who were about to lose their passion, immediately came to their spirits. They all looked at the stadium with their eyes wide open to see if something would happen in the last ten minutes?
Alonso is the one who controls the ball. As the core of the team's offensive and defensive transformation, Alonso doesn't seem to be revealing, but his role is essential. Many times his timing and routes of the ball will simplify the complex scenes and create good offensive opportunities for his teammates.
Mourinho is a master of tactics. His understanding of tactics is definitely one of the best in world football. He knows very well about Alonso's role, so he has made people harass Alonso from the beginning and prevents him from thinking. The effect is also very good. Now Alonso controls the ball, Barack chases for nearly 20 meters and finally gets the opportunity to release the shovel. Although his falling tackle was avoided by Alonso, it also blocks Alonso's intention to pass the ball.
The opportunity flies. Alonso just saw a flaw exposed on Chelsea's defense, but Barack's tackle delayed the passing opportunity. There was no way, so he could only continue to control the ball and look for the next opportunity to attack.
Chelsea's siege is very powerful. Alonso just controlled the ball, and Chelsea immediately surrounded him, and other players also consciously cut off Alonso's passing line.
Alonso was in trouble instantly. Facing the player who pressed up, he not only cleared the ball with his big feet, but also passed the opponent in front and fought a path of blood.
For Alonso, who is not good at extraordinary people, this is a very difficult task. Just as the ball was changed, Lampard's foot arrived. Alonso's change of direction was not completed, and the ball flew out under the action of both feet.
This is Chelsea's half. Once the ball leaves control, it is dangerous. Alonso was shocked and prepared to counterattack on the spot, but he suddenly found a red figure rushing over and quickly snatched the ball away.
Alonso was overjoyed and looked at it again. It turned out that Chen Yu had come over at some point. He quickly followed up to prevent Chen Yu from not taking the ball when he was robbed.
Chen Yu had a premonition that Alonso was pressed by Barack. He did not go to run, but moved closer to Alonso and prepared to take Alonso, so he could snatch the ball back the moment Alonso concealed the ball.
Chen's badminton game is completely different from Alonso's threat to Chelsea. Alonso's most worried Chelsea's defensive players is his pass, but after Chen's badminton game, he can shoot, break through, or pass the ball, which is simply unpredictable.
Seeing Chen Badminton steal the ball, almost all Chelsea ran for Chen Yu, and almost all other Liverpool players were ignored.
Even Chelsea's head coach Mourinho did not express dissatisfaction with his players' behavior. He also believes that defending Chen Yu during Chen's time with the ball is the most important task.
Of course, Chen Yu knew that his opponent had spared no effort in his defense, but he had already shot his bow and had no turning back. Although it was safe to pass back, Chelsea's defense was so tight that once he entered the positional battle, this attack would basically be a failure.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to break through. Thinking of this, Chen Yu continued to dribble the ball firmly into Chelsea's penalty area.
Chelsea's two central defenders Terry and Carvalho were both there. Seeing Chen Yu rushing towards them resolutely, Terry broke the back, Carvalho stepped forward and stole it directly, trying to intercept Chen Yu with the power of the two.
At this time, Chen Yu had no fear or hesitation at all. He drew a large diagonal line and flashed over Carvalho, and at the same time he made way for Terry, who was blocking between him and the goal.
Terry has a rich defensive experience. When he saw Chen Yu change directions from such a large angle and range, he felt that Chen Yu was probably not trying to break into the penalty area, but wanted to? The goal, he moved quickly and wanted to block Chen Yu's shooting angle.
Chen Yu was faster and started early. Before Terry could intercept him, he quickly followed, raised his right foot and shot hard on the left side of the goal.
Chelsea goalkeeper Cech is also one of the most popular goalkeepers in football today. His experience, skills and talent are all first-class. When Chen Yu changed direction, he also realized that Chen Yu was going to shoot, and at the same time began to move to the right side of the goal. When he saw Chen Yu kicking his feet, Cech responded immediately. He flew to the side and pounced the ball towards the side.
It should be said that Cech's save time, save action and save direction are completely correct, and the ball also flew to the side, neither giving the opponent a chance to shoot or a corner kick, but even the most correct save cannot avoid all dangers. When Chen Yu shot, Liverpool's center Kuyt was just around the way. After Cech pounced the ball, Kuyt quickly caught up. After grabbing the ball, he sacrificed his physical balance and half turned around and passed the ball across the penalty area.
Undoubtedly, Kuyt's pass was very fatal. Before and after Chen Yu's shot, Chelsea's formation was in chaos. The central defender forwards were mixed together, and no one could find their own position. Kuyt passed the ball over. Chelsea players were fighting each other, grabbing this landing point, but no one was watching.
The most advantageous one at this moment is naturally the offensive player. When Chen Yu saw Kuyt chasing the ball, he was ready to grab the point. He first ran to the middle, turned back, and then ran to the side, preparing to grab the front point of Kuyt's passing.
The forward-back run like the forward is actually not a fool to experienced defenders. Central defenders like Terry and Carvalho are both skilled and experienced. Carvalho did not stop Chen Yu at the first time. After Chen Yu shot, he still followed Chen Yu to prevent anyone from passing the ball to Chen Yu. However, Chen Yu's back run accelerated rapidly, Carvalho had no choice but to follow behind Chen Yu's butt and watch Chen Yu shoot.
It was fatal to let Chen Yu shoot in the penalty area. Before Chelsea goalkeeper Cech got up and stood firm, the ball flew over. Although it was a half-high ball and the angle was not tricky, Cech could no longer react. He just made half a save and the H ball flew into the net from him.
1:0
Chen Yu's shot scored a first-time Liverpool record.
"goalgoalgoal...Liverpool!Liverpool!Chen scored!Chen scored the first record for Liverpool!The deadlock in the game was broken! Kuyt passed the ball, and Chen Yu scored! Goalkeeper Cech had no choice but to..."
The commentator on the scene was very excited, as if he had scored the goal himself.
The Liverpool fans at the scene were excited. Facing a strong opponent like Chelsea, they were actually preparing for a protracted battle or even penalty kick. Now that the first half is over, their ace killer Chen Yu broke through Chelsea's goal. How could they not be surprised?
Wembley Stadium was instantly drowned by applause and shouts, and tens of thousands of red figures were dancing. They waved their scarves and team flags, turning the entire stadium into a red ocean.
Chelsea fans were stunned.
Liverpool's attack this time was not sudden. Chelsea had enough time to prepare. Liverpool did not invest much troops, only three people, but Chelsea did not defend themselves, which was something they never expected.
"Scrap!"
"Fool!"
"What steel defense line! The tofu slag defense line is right!"
Many Chelsea fans were deeply harsh in love and scolded them in dissatisfaction.
Mourinho's face was gloomy, and he didn't expect to concede the ball so soon. However, Liverpool's attack was perfect and he had a very good grasp of the opportunity. So many defensive lines he arranged were actually decorations. Only Carvalho and Terry were the ones who really played the role. Obviously, it was very difficult for two defensive players to deal with two forwards, and conceding the ball was expected.
The culprit is still Chen Yu!
It was Chen Badminton's quick and sudden long shot after taking the ball, disrupting Chelsea's defense and turning Chelsea's reinforced concrete-like defense into tofu.
After Liverpool scored, Chelsea obviously could not continue to defend and counterattack. As a giant of the same level as Liverpool, it is embarrassing to fall behind and defend. Even Mourinho is a defensive master, he cannot afford to lose this person.
"Occurrence! Put the defense line in the midfield! Keep a close eye on Chen Yu! Cut off the route of passing the ball to Chen Yu..."
Mourinho came to the sidelines and issued an offensive order to his players. Of course, even if he fell behind, he would launch a large-scale attack. Mourinho did not give up on defense, but just raised the defense line to the midfield.
This is just a community shield game. The trophy is not very meaningful. Liverpool did not conservatively after leading. Benitez did not let the team shrink, but signaled the team to play against Chelsea.
"Don't retreat! Hold the midfield! Don't make a rash move on both sides!" Benitez shouted, giving his players the clearest instructions because he knew that Mourinho was a gambler and he would be desperate when he was behind. If the entire line was shrinking, he might not be able to defend. It's better to fight against the opponent. Now the team is in full swing, and maybe he can get one more.
Chapter completed!
