Chapter 109
Chelsea fans counted their heartbeats when they heard the referee blow the whistle to start the game.
When Liverpool kicked off, they did not launch a fierce attack on Chelsea's goal. Instead, they slowed down the pace of the game and slowly brought the football forward.
But Liverpool slowed down, and Chelsea's players didn't want to play push-pull with Liverpool. In the fifth minute after the game started, Cole tackled Torres who was dribbling the ball directly in the midfield.

But in fact, even if Chelsea did not score a goal in this game, they could successfully advance to the final with the two-goal advantage in the previous game. This is why the Chelsea fans at the scene directly held up a banner before the game was over. "
They can advance without scoring. Chelsea still have Enderit. Chelsea fans can't find it at all that they can't successfully advance to the final and create a new world. " The grounds of Chelsea history.
In the tenth minute after the opening, Liverpool, which was two goals behind its opponent, finally found a chance: Cole was successfully intercepted by Benayoun in the frontcourt. After a long drive, he passed the football directly to Gerrard. Gerrard received the ball and passed the ball diagonally. Torres in the penalty area.
Torres, who was on the left side of the penalty area, did not take a direct kick after receiving the ball. He was a little hesitant, not knowing whether to shoot low or lob. But before he could think about it, he saw Chelsea defender John Terry speeding through the corner of his eye. Approaching him, Torres did not dare to delay and relied on his shooter instinct to kick the football directly towards the goal.
A shot from a small angle, the football rushed directly to the lower left side of the goal, Endritt rushed forward and raised his leg to kick the football.
John Terry, who had just run towards Torres and was about to steal the ball, caught the football and made a long pass to the top. The football flew directly to the midfield.
Lampard ran forward a few meters and then kicked off his feet. He passed the ball to Essien with a header. Essien received the ball and drove straight into the Liverpool penalty area with the football. He faked the ball when defenders Riise and Skrtel came over. The pass was passed directly to Lampard.
Lampard rushed forward and his header flew into the Liverpool goal.
Chelsea leads Liverpool 1:0!
The Chelsea fans in the stands stood up excitedly and cheered for this goal.
Lampard, who scored the goal, was not excited at all. He walked to the middle of the court with his legs raised, lowered his head slightly, folded his hands on his chest, closed his eyes, and recalled the last appearance of his mother in his mind, hoping that this goal would Seen by her.
The entire Stamford Bridge stadium instantly fell silent because of Lampard's move. Chelsea fans sat down and bowed their heads in silence.
"Although she left Lampard, she never left in Lampard's heart."
For the first time, the referee did not hold his watch to check the time and blew the whistle. He waited for Lampard to finish his moment of silence before blowing the whistle again to start the game. whistle.

Riise, who was one goal behind Liverpool in the last game, is still the damn culprit for their failure in the eyes of Liverpool fans, but for the Liverpool players, especially Reina, after the angry scolding passed. , the remaining criticism and accusations are entirely the responsibility or power of head coach Rafael.
After all, it is impossible for players like them not to make mistakes on the court. After the mistake in the first leg of the last semi-final, Liverpool's teammates still gave Riise their trust.
But Riise's free kick hit the wall directly, and the Liverpool fans in the stands booed dissatisfiedly. Although it may not be possible to score free throws by others, who knows that Riise's debuffs are already fully stacked?
Three minutes later, Drogba threw away the defense of Liverpool defender Carragher and pushed the ball in the penalty area. The football missed the right post of the goal.

Liverpool fans couldn't help but "booed" Riise again: Benayoun's goal was too far off! It must be that Riise can't pass the ball!
Benayoun, who thought he was being booed, suddenly heard Riise's name and turned to look at Riise with a shy expression. He had just volleyed, and the position of his foot on the football was a bit off, causing the ball to miss directly.
Rise twitched the corner of his mouth expressionlessly, thinking that he didn't throw the bottle down directly, so these fans have some conscience (busui)

Defender Abeloa stared at the football and was ready to stop it in the middle, but Kalou blocked the football in front of him and immediately took a shot. Na struck again and saved the football directly from the goal.
But before he could breathe a sigh of relief like he had done with the save seven minutes ago, Drogba had already rushed forward and kicked the football - with a "swish" sound, the football successfully entered the net, and Drogba scored with a supplementary shot!
"GOALLLL!!! The goal is scored! Chelsea leads Liverpool 2:0!"
"It will be difficult for Liverpool to come back. They want to beat Chelsea and win the finals ticket by scoring at least five goals! But the goalkeeper they faced is Endritt. ! "A man who never misses in front of the goal!"
Behind Chelsea again, even if their coach did not take advantage of Chelsea to celebrate the goal, they played very aggressively when the game restarted.

Kuyt's heart immediately reached its highest point. He thought Chelsea was going to launch another fast break and was ready to run away with sparks. However, after receiving the ball, Ashley passed the ball slowly with John Terry and others. He caught the ball and fell in the backcourt, with no intention of continuing to attack.
Kuyt, who just saw Ashley turn around and run back to defend after receiving the ball: ...
I have a curse word and I don’t know if I should say it jpg
In the 64th minute, Liverpool got an excellent opportunity. Midfielder Benayoun cut from the right to the center and passed the football directly to Torres. Carvalho stepped forward to tackle, but he failed to repeat the previous game. In a wonderful performance, Torres directly jumped over Carvalho's tackle, faced Endritt and then fired a low shot into the lower right corner of the goal.
Endrit couldn't help but sigh when he saw Torres lifting his foot. He swooped forward to suppress the football, then stood up and shook his hand before throwing the football to Ashley.
"It's a pity. If the goalkeeper Torres faced was not Endrit, then he has a high probability of scoring this goal."
"I have made a discovery," Melville said in a rather excited tone. "In these two games, Liverpool Players always shoot low when facing Chelsea. Why is this a tactic? But this tactic has not yet come into play? "
In the 74th minute, Liverpool, who had seized the ball, started from the center again. In order to attack, Benayoun passed the ball, and Torres raised his foot to lob directly after receiving the ball, but this time the ball was directly blocked by Carvalho and went out of the baseline.

With only three minutes left before the end of the game, the Liverpool fans in the stands no longer had any expectations and got up and left the stands early.
But there were too many people leaving together. I don’t know what happened at the passage. People were blocked together, and they couldn’t leave. There was a queue.
"What's going on in front? What are you doing standing there!" Gray couldn't help shouting in front of him. He spent a lot of money to buy tickets to support Liverpool, hoping to see his team enter the finals again, but The result of this game made him very uncomfortable. Now that he was stuck here and couldn't get out, he felt even more irritable.
The people in front were noisy and no one answered his question. After hesitating for a few seconds, Gray simply stretched out his hand to push aside the crowd and squeezed directly from the back to the front with all his strength. He found a group of people gathered around several tables and wrote: What.
"Do you know that "Iron Man" movie? It will be officially released in China the day after tomorrow! If you come to watch today's game, you can get a free movie ticket if you register with your ticket!"
"Free? Really? False? There are so many people on the court today!"
"Yes, that's why I specially called you back to register..."
"It's only for Chelsea fans, right?" Gray couldn't help but insert these two words. In a conversation with a young man, "No wonder you have to register by ticket."
"No," Max raised his finger to the sign over there in a strange way, "Didn't you see? The registration seems to be for a lottery, and the prize is Iron Man. Here are the autographed photos of the entire cast and Endrit!"
Gray looked bored and walked out with a cold face, but when he was about to walk out, he stopped again, thinking that the free advantage would not be wasted, so he turned his head. I went back to register, received a movie ticket and then drew a lottery.
"Why is it Endrit's signature?"
"Don't you want it?!" The red-haired freckles boy next to Gray came over excitedly, "If you don't want it, you can give it to me. We can exchange it, and I can give it to you. Your money..."
Gray paused and stuffed Endrit's signed photo into his pocket with his backhand, "I won't change it!"
When he comes out during this year's European Cup, how can he envy those brothers to death?
He actually didn't want it at all, it was just to show off to his friends. That's right, yes, that's what he thought! (serious face)
