Football’s First Defender

Chapter 179: Risk is reversed!

As two Premier League superpowers, ranked second and third in the Premier League standings with the same league points, this quarter-elimination match of the Champions League should be evenly matched in everyone’s expectation, and anxious to the end. Stage!

   However, no one thought that Liverpool, who was sitting on their home court in the first round, would now be behind by a score of 1 to 3!

   was two goals behind and allowed the opponent to score three away goals, which is enough to put Liverpool at an absolute disadvantage in the next round of advancement!

  The Liverpool players on the field obviously started to be a little anxious after falling behind by 2 goals. Because of the lag in the score, they also obviously started to be a little angry, and their movements started to become a little bigger!

Originally, Chelsea planned to take advantage of Liverpool’s desperate opportunity to see if they could put salt on their wounds. However, seeing Liverpool players’ movements become more and more serious and more and more fouls, the game started from a football match. , There is a trend to shift to fighting competitions!

   The number of yellow cards on both sides began to increase, and the players were a little bit overwhelmed by the game, especially those on both sides who had enough yellow cards in previous games. Be careful of the players who accumulate yellow cards. On the court, they gradually forget that they need to control the range of movements!

   "After Malouda got the ball, he tried to break through on the left side! But Gerrard, who was rushed to help defend with a flying shovel, fell directly to the ground!"

   "The referee rushes over! He shows a yellow card to Gerrard who is obviously too big!"

Turning around, when Liverpool organized the attack, he saw that Gerrard had hurt his teammates with his previous fierce actions. Chelsea's defenders also had no intention of stopping. Terry was in the process of coming out to guard Kuyt. When Gerrard got some sticky ball, he made a tackle from the side and back. Gerrard committed a foul and was also given a yellow card by the referee!

  The players on the court, because of the situation and anger, are all a little bit up, regardless of it! Just be happy to vent the anger in your heart!

   But the statisticians from both sides on the side were shocked to see it!

Originally, Hiddink received a report from his own statistician. Gerrard would be suspended in the second round because of the previous yellow card. When Liverpool would lose another general in the next game, Hiddink laughed on the sidelines. Flower!

   But turned around, Terry's somewhat reckless foul, but also successfully sent himself to the next UEFA Champions League game on the cumulative yellow card suspension list!

   Hiddink didn’t understand, his team was clearly ahead, so why did Terry follow? On the central defender line, Hiddink is the most reluctant to change the position. As a result, Terry applied for this yellow card, forcing himself to change to another central defender in the next round!

   In the last 10 minutes of the game, the players on both sides began to be keen on physical confrontation, rather than football itself. The game was stumbling and whistles one after another!

   In the end, the two teams did not create a threatening opportunity at the end of the game, and the 3-1 score was maintained until the end! Chelsea have gained a huge advantage away from home and have the initiative to advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League!

   The two teams will move to Stamford Bridge in the middle of next week to start the second round of the game!

  In the press conference after the game, unlike Chelsea coach Hiddink who was proud of the spring breeze and accepted the interview with a smile on his face, Benitez had a gloomy face and was conducting a routine interview after the game!

   However, Benitez is still full of reason, and he has done a good job of protecting the players. After the game, he directly took the responsibility of losing to himself!

   took the initiative to explain that he did not notice the threat of Chelsea’s wing attack. Loss of control over the ball was the main reason for Liverpool’s failure! He took the initiative to put the pot back on himself and relieved the pressure on his players!

   However, Benitez also said that this is just a loss of the game. Even if the team is behind by 2 goals, Liverpool still has a chance to advance to the next round!

   Chelsea did not celebrate for too long in Merseyside, but returned to London overnight to prepare for the weekend league and the second round next week!

   For Chelsea, the victory of this game is purely using their high-altitude ball to open up their advantage, and the reason why Liverpool's shot was mostly resolved by Cech and Yang Feng! However, many problems have been exposed, and there are still many shortcomings. The next game, even at home, must not be slack!

   In the Premier League on weekends, Liverpool and Chelsea’s schedule are both early Premier League matches. Chelsea will play against Bolton in the middle and lower reaches of the league at home!

   Although it was on the standings at the beginning of this round, because Manchester United had one less round, the 4 points gap from the top of the list seemed not so far away, but Hiddink still chose a rotation lineup to prepare for the second round of the Champions League knockout!

  Because Terry accumulated yellow cards in the Champions League, Terry still started this game, and Yang Feng is on a break in this game. The player who replaced Yang Feng is the Portuguese international Carvalho who has recently returned from injury!

  ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм

For the second round with Liverpool, Hiddink has never decided whether to use Carvalho or Alex to replace Terry’s partner as the forward. Carvalho started the game and Hiddink wanted to see his game. What's the reason for the recovery after the injury!

   Right back Ivanovic, midfielder Essien, central offensive player Frank Lampard, and forward Drogba have all got a break in this game!

   Hiddink doesn't care about a league victory or not, but next week's Champions League knockout, in his home court, Hiddink hopes that there must be no moths!

   In this league warming up for the Midweek Champions League game, Chelsea is indeed not in the best condition in terms of performance on the field!

   Firstly, because they just challenged Liverpool away from home, several unreserved players were tired. Secondly, Chelsea players were not active, or under the acquiescence of the coach, there was some release!

   After all, the Champions League game a few days later is the highlight. In this very ordinary league, Hiddink emphasized that he must not be injured or consume too much physical energy!

This is also a common problem of many giants. In some games, although players who seem to be powerful are played, they are in an absolute crushing position in terms of pure strength, but because they underestimate the enemy, they are not active in running, and the players are fearful. He didn't dare to make any moves, which led to the twists and turns in the game that seemed to be holding the handle, and even unable to win! Chelsea's current game is that the players on the field are a little daunted, they dare not and don't want to play their best!

Bolton, who came to Stamford Bridge as a guest, is ranked 12th in the league and is 8 points away from the relegation zone. As a fairly self-knowing team, Bolton is facing several Premier League giants this season. Under the circumstances, almost all of them give up resistance directly, do not waste a bit of physical strength, and instead go all out to fight for the middle and lower teams of the league.

   used his home court to score enough points, while the away game was either a negative or a tie. Only when the next few direct opponents were relegated, Bolton attacked with all his strength and won a few away games!

   Bolton understands what points are the key points for relegation, 3 points are used as 6 points, and what points are not necessary to strive for and cannot be obtained!

   is such a team that puts relegation in the first place and arranges itself clearly. It will not fight Chelsea here! After all, as far as Bolton is concerned, the next round of away games against the penultimate team Portsmouth is their key game this month. Before that, the team must ensure their health and physical fitness!

   Both teams were in a very salty state on the court, which made the first half of the game extremely flat!

   Chelsea is not planning to attack hard, and the visiting team is not planning to fight physically to defend!

   This also makes Chelsea clearly control over 70% of the ball, but in the first half there are almost no good shot opportunities!

   However, sometimes, for a wealthy team, it is not a big deal for the team to play a bad offense, just let the star players come out and play!

   In the 40th minute of the first half of the game, Ballack suddenly shot a cold arrow outside the penalty area, a wonderful world wave, penetrated the Bolton goalkeeper's ten-finger pass, and rewritten the score to 1-0! Chelsea was able to return to the dressing room with a leading edge!

   As soon as the second half of the game started, Chelsea showed the appearance of trying to close the game! At the beginning, Chelsea launched a fierce attack!

Anelka, who started the game in the penalty area, received a pass from Malouda from the wing and slammed his head. Only 3 minutes into the second half, Chelsea changed the score to 2-0. !

After that, Chelsea's offensive continued unabated. In the 60th minute of the game, Deco also used a long shot to penetrate Bolton's gate, while Anelka received Deco's straight in the 63rd minute near the penalty point. Stuck the ball and directly completed the turn and hit the goal, scored twice, extending the score advantage to 4 to 0!

   Less than 20 minutes into the second half of the game, Chelsea scored 3 goals in a row. In the atmosphere of the home fans' celebration, the game almost steadily accepted!

   But just after Hiddink took a big lead, he successively replaced Ballack, Malouda, and Ashley Cole to prepare for the Champions League! Because of the appearance of three youth team brats, perhaps it aroused the anger of the opposite Bolton players!

   Bolton began to show his unique strength in a traditional British team after almost 70 minutes of pretending to be dead!

  The young player who was replaced by Hiddink was still a little unprepared to face such fierce physical confrontation. On the court, they completely became Chelsea's defensive weakness, and were beaten by a bunch of rough men in Bolton!

   In addition, the starting central defender Carvalho's state is actually not very good. Chelsea's defense suddenly became a bit shaky!

   In the 70th minute of the game, Bolton played smoothly in the midfield. After passing the defender, the core of the midfielder, Makan, passed the ball to the foot of Andy in the Chelsea penalty area!

   Carvalho, who defended Andy, was obviously a bit slow in the grabbing speed. Andy turned and passed it directly. Facing Chelsea goalkeeper Cech, he shot a low shot and rewritten the score to 1 to 4!

   Only 4 minutes later, Bolton made a comeback!

   This time I opened a breakthrough on the sidewalk!

   After Ashley Cole left the field, Chelsea’s new young left-back did not have enough strength to fight against. Bolton’s winger relied on his weight and smashed directly on the wing, and then made a long pass easily!

   In another confrontation with Andy, Carvalho was once again at a disadvantage when he was heading for the top goal, and he was successfully challenged by Andy and directly completed the header!

   At such close range, Cech couldn't react as much as Bolton scored 2 goals in a blink of an eye, bringing the score back to 2 to 4!

   Carvalho’s header failure this time made him completely miss the chance to play in the Champions League midweek. Hiddink did not want Carvalho in such a bad state to go to the Champions League to plant bombs for his team!

   Just when Hiddink had some regrets, it should not have been so early, when all the personnel were exchanged, Chelsea's defense suffered another heavy blow in the 78th minute!

   Bolton's corner kick tactics, although the corner kick was sent out of the penalty area by Terry, but Bolton midfielder Taylor waited on the outside and directly volleyed the ball into Cech's gate! With 3 goals in 8 minutes, Bolton tied the score to 3 to 4!

   The Chelsea player has scored three goals in a row. This is just like waking up from a dream and never dare to care about it again! Although you may not care about the result of this game before the game, this does not mean that Chelsea players can withstand a 4-0 lead and then be used by their opponents to reverse the results of the last 20 minutes!

   Obviously began to concentrate, and Chelsea, who has strengthened the defensive strength, began to defend seriously, wanting to rely on defense to delay the last ten minutes of the game!

The Bolton players are ~www.NovelMTL.com~ suddenly found that they seem to be able to complete a big reversal. Faced with the temptation to leave a name in the history of the Premier League, they also changed the state of being completely indifferent before and started to do their best. The onslaught!

  In the last 10 minutes of the game, due to the increased attention of both sides, it turned out to be a feverish state, and it began to become exceptionally exciting on both sides of the offense and defense!

  Although this is wonderful, in the eyes of Chelsea fans, it is not as easy to win as 4-0. It is true that the fans have been happy to come! This result is purely caused by the excessive waves of his team, and fans need to prepare their own quick-acting pill!

However, when the Bolton players really faced Chelsea’s copper wall, even though many of them were Chelsea’s non-main players, and there were even three players who were recruited by the youth team, the gap in strength was there, and they besieged for more than ten minutes. Bolton did not score the fourth goal again in the end! The score of 4 to 3 was thrilled by Chelsea to the end of the game!

In the end, Chelsea defeated Bolton by a thrilling score of 4 to 3 at Stamford Bridge at home, and once again tied with Liverpool, who had won the same bench in the early game, and ranked second and third with 67 league points. The round has not yet started, and Manchester United, who has less than 2 games, only have a 1 point gap!

  Of course, this league game has brought enough warning to the Chelsea players and coaches. Even if the lead is large, you must absolutely ensure your own state and focus on the game! Leading 4 goals was almost overturned by the underdogs within 20 minutes at home. Now facing Liverpool, only leading 2 goals, we must be more careful!
