Chapter 228 Drogba is No. 9 and a half

Chapter 228 Drogba is Number Nine and a Half

In this game, Mourinho did not let Robben start, but let Icelander Gudjohnsen start at the front, and Drogba formed a double center tactic.

This was Mourinho's ingenuity, but it turned out that the effect was average, and Liverpool's starting lineup was still the same.

After the opening, the two sides played similarly to the usual, typical Premier League rhythm. If people who don’t watch the news will mistakenly think that this is a Premier League game, but it is not, this is the semi-final of the Champions League.

In fact, Chelsea was also very tired at this time. Their Portuguese defender was the one bought from Porto—Ferreira was injured, and Mourinho had no choice but to use Johnson. This was a young full-back, and Li Qiao had never even heard of his name.

The two sides head-to-head in the midfield, Gerrard did not lose to Lampard, so Chelsea can't take advantage of it.

Suddenly Joe Cole passed the ball to Drogba in front of him. This was outside the penalty area, so Harman followed two steps, but did not post it.

I thought that Drogba was no threat outside the penalty area, but what I didn't expect was that he suddenly turned around, then flew up and shot in the air.

This shocked the Liverpool fans into a cold sweat. It's incredible. Now Drogba is so threatening outside the penalty area?

The goal was missed, but the shock to the opponent is obvious. This is the power of Drogba, the monster in front of the penalty area.

Mourinho has already stood up and applauded. Since Drogba was still in Marseille, he has been very optimistic about Drogba's potential. He feels that Drogba is not just an engineering hammer, he can do more, such as coming back to meet his teammates.

In fact, later Drogba also had a very accurate free kick. For example, Drogba often scored long-range free kicks when he was playing in the American Major League, which was also amazing.

Benitez was a little stunned by this, because Drogba's style of play is completely different from that in the league. Usually in the league, Drogba is a violent man in the penalty area, and Chelsea uses the strength of the two sides to pass the ball for Drogba. The latter is complicated and smashes the ball into the goal.

Benitez also prepared in this way for this game, but he did not expect Mourinho to change, and Drogba became No. 9 and a half.

This can only be described as magical!

Benitez gestured to Harman to take care of the area in front of the penalty area. After all, this is a very important thing.

It is also difficult for a German tough guy like Hamann to deal with Drogba. I have to say that Drogba had unlimited possibilities when he was young, and he was the overlord on the court.

Mourinho was very happy here, at least his tactics contained the opponent again. At this moment, Drogba took the ball in front of the penalty area and then suddenly passed the ball to Gudjohnsen on the other side.

"This nigger has improved a lot," thought Benitez.

But this can only be thought about. If he said it, he would be full of tickets, but he really looked at Mourinho with admiration. He is very good at training players and can develop some hidden attributes.

At this moment, what happened on the pitch, it turned out that Hamann and Didier Drogba had a skirmish in front of the penalty area, and the referee also awarded a free kick.

This is a headache for Liverpool. Chelsea have many free kick masters, such as Lampard, Joe Cole, and even Didier Drogba can also take free kicks.

In the end it was Lampard who stood in front of the ball. It must be a violent shot. The wall must be tougher. Dudek lined up a wall of 6 people and jumped around in front of the goal, hoping to block the opponent's shooting angle to the greatest extent.

On the other side, Benitez is also suspicious, will this be a free kick, which means that Lampard will not shoot.

This is very possible. After all, Mourinho is really weird, but he has nothing to do. Free kick tactics are difficult to adjust on the spot.

The referee blew his whistle and saw Lampard running slowly, then kicked the ball, and the ball flew towards the goal like a cannonball.

But in the middle, someone touched it, the ball changed its line, and then Dudek couldn't make a save, and the ball went in! !

The fans at Stamford Bridge started celebrating.

The entire Blue Bridge was as happy as celebrating Christmas again, but Dudek looked helpless, and the ball was refracted.

Benitez had been expecting the opponent to play a very subtle cooperation, but what he didn't expect was that such a simple shot was refracted, and then...he scored.

"My God, Chelsea's luck is too good."

The back of the Chelsea players embracing each other is a bit disappointed Red Army, and looking at Mourinho, it is a calm look, which actually makes Benitez more uncomfortable, because it shows that he doesn't care at all.

Re-tee.

The initiative is still in the hands of Chelsea, and Liverpool can only get some sporadic counterattack opportunities.

This is very normal in Benitez's view, because he also expected it, and Liverpool will use these counterattack opportunities to score goals.

Goal!

If you get an away goal, Mourinho won't be able to laugh. This is Benitez's idea.

After Alonso dodged Makelele, he passed the ball to Baros in front, and the Czech was surrounded by people after he got the ball.

He can only control the ball, but it is impossible to go forward, but he has already seen Li Qiao from the corner of his eye.

So he kicked the ball over, Li Qiao took the ball and ran forward, here was Johnson, his idea was to go beyond others, or even shoot directly, because Liverpool could only get some sporadic shooting opportunities, and Li Qiao couldn't wait for his teammates to come up and then play very complicated cooperation, so he flew a kick.

This script was an attempt, but I didn't expect the effect to be so good that it was unexpected, and it went straight in. The ball hit the near corner, and Cech was caught off guard.

Stamford Bridge was suddenly silent, because no one expected such a goal to be scored, how ordinary it looked.

It's just a ball, and then it's a shot. It seems that there is no technical content, but it is scored.

Li Qiao was hugged by excited teammates, a golden away goal, how great it is.

Mourinho chuckled, he hoped to see Li Qiao perform so well, because in this way he could convince his boss to buy Li Qiao in the summer.

In any case, Mourinho wants to take the former disciples under his account next season and take Li Qiao to a higher stage.

1 to 1 is more beneficial for Liverpool, because the importance of an away goal has been obvious in the previous game, and in many cases this is the key to the team's victory.
