Chapter 521 It turns out that Zhang Tiehan is No. 9

When he saw Zhang Tiehan score, Benitez seemed helpless. Chelsea's forward combination was too strong. If they defended Zhang Tiehan, they could not defend Drogba. It was difficult to restrict Zhang Tiehan. Although Liverpool's defense was good, there was still no good way to restrict such a forward combination. ¢££

The score has become 0:1, and Liverpool is temporarily behind by one goal.

Liverpool fans at Anfield Stadium were helpless when they saw Zhang Tiehan scored. Some fans remembered the scene when Zhang Tiehan scored at this stadium last season. They were the cheering side, but now they can only remain silent.

The Blues fans in the stands were celebrating, but Liverpool fans were not in the mood to compare their voices with them.

They just hope that Liverpool can perform better now. After all, Zhang Tiehan is already a member of Chelsea, and he was also sold by the club's senior management. Even if they are dissatisfied, they cannot change the facts. They just hope that Liverpool can perform better.

In the hope of Liverpool fans, captain Gerald organized the team's offense.

Gerrard is the soul of Liverpool. He not only has excellent personal skills, but more importantly, love him is the leader of the whole team and the spiritual pillar. As long as there is Gerrard on the court, Liverpool has a chance to win. This is the belief of every Liverpool person.

In the next game, Liverpool seemed to be completely unaffected by the goal.

They are still defending desperately and attacking hard. On the contrary, Chelsea is a little careless because of the goal. Some players are still thinking about the goal just now, but they are a little out of shape. As a result, after another fifteen minutes of the game, the fans were surprised to find that Liverpool actually has an advantage in data.

So far, Liverpool's possession rate has reached 53%, with seven shots and two hits in the goal frame, and these data are slightly higher than Chelsea.

Judging from these data, Chelsea really doesn't have the advantage.

This shows Liverpool's strong fighting spirit, but they are not defeated by Zhang Tiehan's goal. When they see this kind of game scene, Liverpool fans are looking forward to it again. This time it is Liverpool's offense again.

Alonso completed a breakthrough in the middle. When he saw Zhang Tiehan retreating to defend, he immediately handed the ball to Gerald and smiled at Zhang Tiehan. With Alonso's understanding of Zhang Tiehan, he naturally would not face 1v1 directly with him.

Gerald got the ball and started organizing the attack.

Carvalho forced him over, Gerald was dribbling the ball, and his legs were swaying and he couldn't shake it away as soon as possible. As a result, he could only pass the ball to Alonso, who would kick Gerald again. As a result, there was a loophole in Chelsea's defense this time. Gerald was no defense at this time, and he easily broke through and entered the penalty area.

Chelsea immediately became cautious.

Terry greeted Gerald, and Carvalho was retreating behind him to respond, so Gerald had no shooting angle, so he kicked the ball to Crouch.

Crouch is a Liverpool team that he joined in the summer. He is a typical 'grassroots' player and has played in the low league before. He played for Tottenham Hotspur for the first time, but has not played in any league. He was loaned to the Swedish low-class club Heathleyholm in 2000.

A year later, Crouch transferred to the Queen's Park Rangers in the League One, played 42 league games and scored 10 goals.

Since 2002, Crouch has frequently transferred and played for some Premier League downstream clubs, including Portsmouth and Aston Villa, among which Peter Crouch has played 37 games and scored 6 goals in 37 games in Aston Villa. However, since the 2004 season, he was loaned to the Norwich City Football Club of the League One club, and scored 4 goals in 15 league games.

After returning to Aston Villa, Crouch was sold to Southampton. During this season, Crouch played 27 league games for the club and scored 12 goals, but the fact that the ball was helpless would drop to the English Championship. After playing for Aston Villa for a season in the English Championship, Crouch won the favor of many teams with 21 goals.

In the end, Liverpool signed Crouch for £7 million.

However, Crouch's performance was not very good before. He has been lacking in performance since joining the franchise and was questioned not worth 7 million. It was not until the 11th round of the league that Crouch scored the first goal to join Liverpool Football Club. After that, Crouch began to score frequently. Now he has become the pillar of Liverpool's forward line.

Now he received a pass from Gerald, and there was an experienced Carvalho in front of him, but Crouch still barely protected the ball. He suddenly turned around and handed the ball to Alonso who followed him, and ran towards the goal. Alonso and Crouch had already cooperated well. He did not stop the ball, but passed the ball to the penalty area. This was a high ball, and the landing position happened to be in front of Crouch. The two of them cooperated so quickly and exquisitely, which made Carvalho's reaction slower, but he could not limit Crouch.

Crouch directly headed the ball towards the ball, and the football rushed straight into the lower left corner of the goal.

The ball has entered!

Crouch helped Liverpool equalize the score.

The moment the football flew into the goal, the Liverpool fans were in full swing, and Anfield Stadium commentator Woodgate shouted excitedly, "Crouch! Crouch! He helped Liverpool equalize the score! This is a header, from the exquisite cooperation between him and Xavi!"

The Liverpool fans in the audience were also very excited.

They were all recalling Zhang Tiehan before, but now they know that Zhang Tiehan has left the team, but the team has other outstanding strikers, such as Crouch, who are the best in Liverpool's new generation of forwards. So far, many fans have fallen in love with this tall man, and some Liverpool media even claimed that he can replace Zhang Tiehan.

Of course that can only be self-comfort...

Crouch has good abilities, but he is more of a central stand on the stance, which means his goal ability is better than that of an ordinary center stand on the stance. Compared with Zhang Tiehan... I guess only his height can be compared. If his performance on the court is not comparable, he can't compare it.

At this time, Benitez's expression was also relieved in Liverpool's coaching bench. He brought Crouch to Liverpool by himself. Now he was very happy to see Crouch breaking Chelsea goal. He hopes that Crouch can perform well and not catch up with Zhang Tiehan, at least to prevent the team's forward line from appearing so bad. He has always cared about offensive ability this season. This may be because the forward line led by Zhang Tiehan last season was too strong. Benitez is not used to the forward line without Zhang Tiehan, which means that every time he wants to score a goal, he has to rely on some luck.

On the other side, in the Chelsea coach's bench, head coach Boas stood on the sidelines with his hands in his arms, without any special expression on his face, as if he didn't care about the goal at all.

Boas and Benitez are different from coaches. He pays attention to his image. This is how he came to the court in this game. He wore a suit and leather shoes, which looked very formal. Many other head coaches, especially the head coaches in the top league, often do not pay much attention to their image. For example, Benitez is now wearing a sportswear.

It is precisely because of his dress and his nobleness that many people think of this young Chelsea coach. He is actually a nobleman. Although he is a declining nobleman, his tutor is indeed very good. Under any circumstances, it is difficult to see him panic or laugh regardless of his image.

At the same time...it's hard to know what Boas is thinking.

After Liverpool equalized the score, the camera shot pointed at Boas several times, but his expression basically did not change. This reminds people that Boas is indeed a little better than Grant - at least he can remember his image in one game, such as coaching in formal clothes. It is very rare for head coaches to wear expressions throughout the game. It is very distinctive in the head coaching industry, while Grant is completely unremembered because he has nothing special.

The match resumed after Liverpool celebrated the goal.

Liverpool and Chelsea had a fierce confrontation on the court. The two teams had offensive and defensive attacks, and overall they were in a stalemate. It is worth mentioning that Liverpool's full-back Pennant performed very well. This is a youth training player from Knox County, a right winger, and also joined Liverpool in the summer.

Pennant has been a teenage genius since he was a child. He transferred to Premier League club Arsenal at the age of 16 (the transfer fee is 2.5 million pounds). He won three yuan in a row against Soushenton for the first time in the league, but he was loaned to Watford, Leeds United and Birmingham twice in six years.

It was officially acquired by Birmingham in 2005.

One season later, Liverpool brought Pennatet to Anfield for £6.7 million (but according to the agreement between Birmingham and Arsenal, Birmingham will give the transfer fee of 25% of the total £6.7 million, or £1.675 million to Arsenal).

Pennant has become Liverpool's main player, but his personality problem is also a bit serious. Benitez still has a headache for Pennant.

Pennant has many bad deeds, such as his frequent girlfriend changes, gossip news reporting on his gossip news, and fans are tired of watching it. For example, he often does strange things. The most notable thing is that when he was playing in Birmingham, his Mercedes-Benz car was arrested and charged with driving drunk and not having insurance after hitting a lamppost in Aylesbury. At that time, he was still fined for 16 months of driving. So he was convicted and was imprisoned on 90 days in prison. After 30 days in prison, he was allowed to parole. Pennant immediately returned to Birmingham City to continue wearing armor, but during the parole, he still had to bring an electronic monitor even if he played the game.

This is Pennant, a guy with some genius but a weird personality.

However, Liverpool fans still like him very much now because he performed well on the court. Liverpool's right-hand offense relies on Pennant. He repeatedly breaks through and completes passes, posing a great threat to Chelsea's defense.

Pennant was also very excited. He felt that he was in good shape. He even thought about scoring a goal later, but what he didn't know was that the danger was approaching...

Zhang Tiehan noticed Pennant.

Liverpool performed well during this period, and the two teams were in a stalemate. It was difficult for Zhang Tiehan to get the ball in the frontcourt, so he retreated a little. After finding that Liverpool's offense was the most active on the right, he rushed over.

This time it's still Liverpool's offense.

Gerrard dribbled the ball across the center line and passed it to Alonso. After receiving the pass, Alonso did not dribble the ball himself but handed the ball to Pennant on the right. Pennant performed well, and Liverpool teammates were happy to hand the ball to him.

Seeing this pass, Zhang Tiehan jogged over slowly.

Pennant seemed very active. He didn't plan to pass the ball when he received the ball, and then dribbled the ball and accelerated it to the bottom line to find an opportunity to cross. He had always done this before. Many times he could create opportunities, which was very experienced. After seeing a tall and strong guy with the back of No. 9 pressing up, Pennant still didn't plan to pass the ball. He thought to himself, "The tall and strong guys are often rough in their skills. Let me get rid of you now!"

He was overly excited...

At this moment, he heard a shout, "Be careful, come here!" The voice was very familiar, it was Gerald's voice. Even if Pennant was very excited, he still did not dare to anger Gerald, after all, the latter was Liverpool's no.1.

He plans to pass the ball.

But at this moment, the Nine had already forced herself over.

"Why is it so fast?" Before Pennant could react, he even felt that he had evolved in an instant, so he subconsciously took the ball forward one step ahead so that the opponent could easily grab the ball, and then ran forward two games, but at this time, the Blues fans in the stands on the left suddenly made a laugh.

Pennant touched his forehead in confusion, which made him look a little funny, and the laughter in the stands became even louder. Only then did he feel something was wrong and looked down at it... the football has lost its trace.

When I turned around again, I saw that the number nine just now was Zhang Tiehan.

Zhang Tiehan!

That was the captain who repeatedly told him not to one-on-one guys. Pennant didn't think about embarrassment or something, but instead felt that he was a little stupid... Why didn't I remember Zhang Tiehan's number?

But now he can definitely remember it.

At the same time, Zhang Tiehan had already driven the ball towards Liverpool in the first half. This was a good opportunity to counterattack. He dribbled the ball directly with his feet and then took another step to catch up. This made his speed reach the extreme. If Pennant's dribbling before was like a bicycle, Zhang Tiehan is now a car, and it is a heavyweight car, fast and large, giving people the feeling that he could not resist. In an instant, everyone in Liverpool realized the danger.

"Zhang's steal! He is quickly attacking Liverpool's halftime! His speed is so fast, coupled with his big guy, it looks like a fast-moving tank..." Anfield Stadium commentator Woodgate gave an image metaphor.

Other commentators also exclaimed.

Zhang Tiehan has been silent for a long time before. When they saw Zhang Tiehan dribbling this time, they were excited again. No matter in any media, Zhang Tiehan will be the most noteworthy player.

The Liverpool players also reacted, but they were attacking just now and they were pressing a little more than that. Almost most Liverpool players could only watch Zhang Tiehan's figure gradually drifting away, and they were powerless to catch up.
