Chapter 335
Fortunately, Chelsea is still in the lead now, even if it is only one goal, but it is not too late to make up for it.

If you wait until you lose the ball and then adjust, it's over.

During the halftime break, neither side made any personnel adjustments, just fine-tuning tactics.

Chelsea has stepped up its approach to Lin Yi, using Lin Yi as a means to contain Liverpool.

Mourinho felt lucky that he had made such an adjustment at halftime. In his opinion, he had plugged all the final loopholes. Chelsea, who were leading by one goal, had nothing to worry about.

He only played against Lin Yi and Liverpool last season. Of course he knows how powerful Lin Yi is and doesn't dare to take it lightly.However, he also believes that his current adjustments must be effective.

With this mood, Mourinho walked back to the coaching bench, sat there, and waited for the start of the second half.

With the whistle of the referee, the second half of the game began.

Chelsea kicked off the second half, and they took advantage of the kick-off opportunity to launch an attack on Liverpool's goal.

However, it did not really threaten the goal guarded by Mignolet.

Traore's shot went over the crossbar and he didn't even get a corner kick.

Next, possession fell to Liverpool.

Just like in the first half, when Liverpool had the ball, they did not back and forth in the midfield, but pushed forward directly. The speed of advancement was very fast, and they soon came to Chelsea's 30-meter area.

When Lin Yi caught the ball, a Chelsea player came in front of him and one behind him to surround him.Lin Yi immediately passed the football out. He sent a diagonal pass, and the football rolled sideways from the center to the ribs of the penalty area.

Royce stepped in from the wing and received Lin Yi's pass, but he did not follow the football and continued to break through to the bottom line, and then passed the ball.

Instead, while catching the ball, he dunked the football inward with his right foot and suddenly cut inside!

This cut inside was sudden and fast, catching Matic off guard as he retreated into the penalty area. When he wanted to turn around and follow him, his foot slipped and he used his hands to support his body to prevent him from falling completely to the ground, but he also lost it. Control over Royce.

After cutting inside, Royce shook Matic away and shot directly without any hesitation!

He rounded his thigh with this kick, which was full of strength, and the outer instep of his right foot firmly hit the football.

The drawn football flew straight to the far corner!

Almost at the same time as Royce shot, Begovic rose into the air and reached for the back point. He accurately judged that Royce was going to shoot the far corner instead of the near corner.His timely shot also prevented him from missing football this time.

He caught the ball!
However, the football he threw out did not fly straight out of the baseline, but bounced back in front of the goal!
Just like playing billiards, the football saved by Begovic hit someone's head as it bounced back...

When Royce shot, Firmino planned to rush to the goal to make up the shot. Although he didn't know if there would be a chance to make up the shot, as a striker, he must do everything possible to capture the opportunity in front of the goal. Be prepared, otherwise you will find it too late when the opportunity comes...

His preparation paid off, and the football saved by Begovic flew right in front of him!
But Firmino had no time to think and reflexively hit the ball!
His forehead was on top of the football, and a rebound ball came out!

The football hit the ground, bounced up, and flew into the goal!
At this time, Begovic fell to the ground and it was too late to get up and make a second save... His goal was breached!
"Firmino! Firmino! A clever follow-up shot! Liverpool equalized the score!!"

"Hell!" Mourinho on the sidelines couldn't help but cursed when he saw the goal.

This time, there was another problem with the defense in the penalty area. Matic was easily shaken away by Royce, and when Firmino made a supplementary shot, there was no Chelsea defensive player around him to interfere!
However, from Royce's shot to Firmino's follow-up shot, everything happened too fast. It is possible that Chelsea players have not reacted... but Mourinho doesn't care about that. This loss The ball made him furious.

Just now, I thought that my defensive arrangement against Lin Yi could be regarded as a way to make up for the situation. Who would have thought that the goal was conceded just 2 minutes into the second half!

"Two minutes into the first half, Firmino wasted an opportunity with a header! And only two minutes into the second half, Liverpool once again created a killing opportunity! This time Firmino did not give up the opportunity again! His header shot was very smart! The quality of the header was also very high!" the CCTV commentator praised.

As a good friend of Lin Yi, the CCTV commentator still seems very friendly to Firmino.Firmino also has many supporters in China because of Lin Yi.

Firmino was also very excited after scoring. He turned and ran to the coaching bench and gave coach Klopp a hug.

When Firmino and Klopp hugged, other Liverpool players rushed up and surrounded them. There was a cheering crowd in front of Liverpool's bench and coaching bench.

In front of Chelsea's goal, Begovic could only vent his anger on the turf. He picked up a piece of turf and threw it into the goal.

"Depend on!"

He was angry because he made a very good save and blocked Royce's shot, but unexpectedly, he indirectly assisted Firmino - the football he played was blocked by Firmino. It looked like he was passing the ball to Firmino.

He was able to block the world wave, but failed to stop his opponent from missing a blow... Begovic felt miserable.

No matter what the reason was for conceding the ball, now the two sides are back on the same starting line, with the score being 1:1.

Firmino's goal prevented the last moment of the game from turning into a boring scene with Chelsea's bus, and also added more changes to the game.

It’s hard to say who will win.

After getting angry, Mourinho also rushed to the sidelines and pulled Fabregas away. He gave him a face-to-face instruction and asked him to go on the court to tell his teammates that there were nearly 45 minutes left in the game. Don't be panicked by this conceding goal. They still have a chance to take the lead again, as long as they don't get into trouble.

Yes, it’s important not to get carried away.

Imagine Liverpool, they conceded the goal in the first 7 minutes of the first half. If they messed up, how could Chelsea still be one goal ahead?Maybe they were two or three goals ahead.

As a result, Liverpool did not mess up. Encouraged by Lin Yi's volley that missed the target, they became more and more courageous.Then he worked hard and equalized the score just 2 minutes into the second half.

In a sense, Liverpool is actually a role model for Chelsea.

If Chelsea can be as fearless as Liverpool, then Mourinho will still be confident that the team will win this game.

At this time, his most important job as head coach is to appease people's hearts and give them strength and confidence.After doing all this, he returned to his seat, took a sip of water, and looked serious.

Although Mourinho asked Cesc Fabregas to come on and pass the message, not everyone's emotions could calm down again just after conceding the goal, especially when they were tied when they were already leading. The blow was simply worse than What was originally a draw turned into a bigger lag...

So after the game restarted, Chelsea's players did not immediately show their courage, determination, and calmness in facing difficulties.

Two minutes after conceding the ball, Liverpool launched another threatening attack.Firmino used his head to push the football back in the penalty area. Henderson volleyed directly from outside the penalty area. The football missed the goal post and flew out of the baseline.

Begovic failed to save the ball, but fortunately the football did not hit the goal frame.

Although there was no goal, many Chelsea fans at the scene were shocked into a cold sweat - if they conceded two goals in a short period of time, I was really afraid that the team would collapse because of this!

Fortunately, Mourinho's instructions gradually came into effect.

Under the leadership of veterans like Cesc Fabregas, Chelsea players gradually calmed down and realized that they were only equalized, not behind, so there was still hope of winning this game.

Liverpool also had to slow down because their attack speed in the first half was too fast and their physical fitness could not keep up.This will reduce the threat to Chelsea.

But they had already equalized the score anyway, so there was no need to be so anxious.It is also reasonable to slow down appropriately and give the players a chance to breathe and rest.

Therefore, Klopp did not urge the team to continue the fast break from the sidelines.

In this situation, the next game reached a deadlock.

In the stalemate, both teams seemed to have chances, but no one had a particularly good chance.

In 4 minutes, Lin Yi got the ball in the frontcourt. Because there was no good chance to pass the ball, he decided to protect the ball and wait. As a result, Matic kicked him while grabbing the ball. This action attracted a kick to Matic. Yellow card.

No. 60 In the second minute, William passed Johnson and passed into the penalty area, but Traore failed to touch the ball. 2 minutes later, Subotic suddenly slipped while controlling the ball in the backcourt and made a mistake giving up possession of the ball!William cleverly got the ball and passed it into the penalty area. This time Pedro's shot was saved by Mignolet.

In the 605th minute, Liverpool got a corner kick. After the corner kick was taken, Lin Yi, who was ambushing outside the penalty area, followed up to grab the second volley. The ball only missed the goal slightly, scaring the Chelsea fans again. .

One minute later, Chelsea launched a quick attack, and Hazard's shot in the penalty area was held in the arms of Mignolet.

As the end of the game approaches, Liverpool speeds up the pace again, wanting to defeat their opponents and win the championship early!

In the 70th minute, Liverpool once again got a chance for a corner kick. This time they did not kick the football directly into the penalty area, but took a tactical corner kick. Lin Yi went to the corner flag area but responded. After receiving the ball, he turned around and The football was passed outside the penalty area to Henderson.

When Henderson, who had just come on the field, received the ball, he passed the rushing Pedro and then shot a long shot, but the football missed the goal...

In the 703rd minute, Chelsea got a corner kick.Cesc Fabregas's corner kick accurately found Cahill. The Brazilian center back passed the header to Mikel. Mikel, who inserted the ball from behind, was not even marked when he headed the ball. Chelsea in the audience The fans were ready to jump and cheer.

As a result, Mikel's header hit the football on the crossbar!

"Mikel! This was Chelsea's most threatening shot in the second half! The crossbar ruthlessly rejected him!"

Seeing the football hit the crossbar, Mikel put his head in his hands and knelt on the turf in front of the door. His eyes widened and he looked at the crossbar that rejected him in disbelief.

He almost became a Chelsea hero!
Mourinho on the sidelines was also very excited. He thought he was about to score a goal and was ready to celebrate, but when he saw the football blocked by the crossbar, he turned around angrily and kicked away a bottle of water next to him. …

Chelsea missed an opportunity that could determine the outcome of the game, and not long after, they created another opportunity that could determine the outcome of the game...

In the 708th minute, Chelsea launched an attack, but the attack was not completed. The football was intercepted by a Liverpool player while being passed forward.Lovren, who stole the ball, passed the ball to Salah, and Salah distributed the ball to Reus on the wing.

Royce ran down the wing with the ball.

Lin Yi followed in the middle. Judging from his running, it seemed that the long-distance flight back and forth in the past two days did not have a serious impact on his physical fitness...

Today, Lin Yi's physical fitness is no longer his shortcoming.

He moved forward in the middle just to meet Royce.

Because the offense always comes back to the center.

Royce also noticed Lin Yi's forward thrust. When he ran into a gap, Royce decisively passed the football sideways.

Lin Yi adjusted his speed and prepared to catch the ball.

But just when he received the football, Matic, who had been chasing him, also rushed up from behind.

After receiving the ball, Lin Yi was about to continue taking the football forward, and he took the football out.

When Matic saw that Lin Yi was about to run away, he didn't care about anything else. He threw his entire weight away and bumped into him.

Just like that, his body pressed against Lin Yi, knocking Lin Yi to the ground.

As for the football, after it was taken out by Lin Yi, it fell to the feet of Chelsea defender Cahill without waiting for Lin Yi to come back...

Above the stadium, the away stands instantly burst into harsh boos from Liverpool fans.

He even suppressed the referee's whistle.

However, his gesture could not be suppressed. Everyone saw the referee making a foul gesture and ran towards the location of the foul.

"Matic——" the TV commentator drawled. "This is a tactical foul! You must be given a card!"
