"I have to say that Aiello's goal in the first half, which passed five people in a row, was very exciting.
It is really rare to see such an amazing goal in a row in the Premier League.
The game focuses too much on physical confrontation, leaving attackers without enough room to survive, so many times offensive players are knocked to the ground when they break through to the third position."
Taking advantage of the halftime break, Zhan Jun followed the TV replay and reminisced about Aiello's goal with the fans watching TV: "It can be said that in the Premier League, there were five people in a row and then scored the ball.
This is rare.
And it’s unforgettable.
If nothing else happens, this goal will most likely become the best goal of the season.”
Commentators from all over the world were analyzing the first half of the game during the fifteen minutes of midfield, but the players on both sides of the game were subjected to the head coach's hair dryer in the locker room.
In the locker room, Mourinho first praised Aiello's wonderful goal in the first half that helped the team equalize the score, and then mentioned the team's conceded goal.
Compared to 1:1, he prefers 0:0 Ben Haim, who was put in the starting lineup by Mourinho in this game, was almost touching his chest because he felt that he had failed Mourinho's expectations.
"Our opponents conceded a goal against five players in a row at their home court.
I believe they will definitely increase their offensive pace in the second half, so we must first secure the defense and then wait for opportunities to attack," Mourinho said here , paused, and then looked at Drogba: "Didier, run more in the second half to help the midfield defense."
Then he turned to look at Aiello, "Ai, your task is the easiest, but also the most important, which is to seize the opportunity to counterattack and go straight to Huanglong."
At the same time, Mourinho also pointed toward Liverpool from the center circle with a signature pen.
A red arrow was drawn between the goals: "Let the bloody Liverpool people accept defeat at their home ground" "Yeah" Ai Luo nodded firmly.
The atmosphere in the home team's dressing room was quite heavy, obviously affected by Aiello's astounding five-man goal in the first half.
Benitez looked up at the twelve players in front of him.
Yes, there are twelve people, because Benitez is preparing to make personnel adjustments at the beginning of the second half, replacing Pennant, a small winger, with Mascherano to strengthen control of Aiello.
Last season's Champions League semi-finals showed how powerful Ai Luo is.
Therefore, the most fundamental condition for winning the game at home is to perfectly restrict Aiello.
As for the defensive task of restricting Aiello, Benitez still feels that it would be better to leave it to Mascherano, because last season's He did very well in the Champions League semi-finals.
Although replacing Mascherano to defend Aiello full-time will definitely lead to a decrease in the team's offensive ability, the overall offense and defense will become balanced, and the defense can be guaranteed to be worry-free during offense.
"Javier, although your task after playing is very simple, it is also the most arduous, because your task is to perfectly restrain the Chinese for me.
I believe you should know him very well after two rounds of competition last season.
Don’t be distracted like in the Champions League semi-finals last season, this game is very important for us.”
Benitez said meaningfully to Mascherano.
In order to gain a foothold in a wealthy club, Mascherano also knew that he had to prove his strength in order to get better opportunities, so he nodded repeatedly.
Then he fell into his own thoughts.
The fifteen-minute half-time break passed quickly, but the stands at Anfield Stadium looked empty.
Of course, this was not because the fans left the stadium early, but because after 45 minutes of refueling in the first half, a lot of physical energy was consumed. , so there is an urgent need to take advantage of the halftime break to buy some burgers and Coke outside the stadium to increase energy, so that we can continue to cheer for the team we support in the second half.
Many live TV stations also began to receive signals transmitted from Anfield at this time.
Players from both sides of the game slowly entered the field, some jogging, some walking, and of course some chatting.
This can ensure a happy mood and maintain good condition for the next game.
Regarding Liverpool's first substitution adjustment, Mourinho frowned.
In his expectation, Benitez's style should strengthen the offense, but at the beginning of the second half, he replaced a midfielder.
Is it to restrict Ai?
Yes, Benitez made this substitution adjustment to restrict Aiello.
Liverpool was the first to kick off the second half.
After several passes, Carragher was forced by Drogba to kick the ball forward.
Terry forced Torres to push the ball forward, but Lampard resisted.
Gerrard passed the ball to Mikel.
Mikel moved the ball horizontally to avoid Xabi Alonso's steal, and then passed the ball to Aiello who retreated to receive the ball.
Seeing Aiello retreating to get the ball, Mascherano accelerated and rushed over.

Although Aiello did not look back to observe the situation behind him, his excellent awareness was enough to have a general understanding of the area around him.
Facing the football passed by Mikel, his body made a fake move to take the ball to the right and turn around.
It was a lie.
Mascherano, who accelerated to grab the ball, moved a step to the right, seized the moment, exerted force with his right foot, and pushed the ball to the left side of his body with the outside instep of his left foot.
That is to say, the fake move is stopped and passed.
Under normal circumstances, Aiello would have walked past him, but Mascherano was not doing a normal steal at all.
He was just trying to show off his power, kicking Aiello's supporting foot with his left foot.
Then the referee's whistle sounded.
Regarding the foul near midfield, the referee on duty did not say anything and did not even give Mascherano a warning.
Mourinho, who was standing in the command area in front of the visiting team's coaching bench, couldn't stand it anymore.
Mascherano's behavior just now didn't look like a defensive move.
It was completely directed at someone.
It doesn't matter if the referee doesn't give you a yellow card, then why didn't you even give a warning?
However, under the persuasion of the fourth official, he returned to his command area and continued chattering.
Aiello rubbed the heel of his left foot and glanced up at Mascherano, who had just committed a foul.
Although it would not cause him to be injured, it was very painful.
"Are you okay?"
Lampard squatted down and asked Ai Luo.
"It's okay" Ai Luo came back to his senses, "It's just a little painful."
"That's good" The game continued.
As Mascherano entered a good situation, Aiello was basically restricted by him and could not control the ball calmly.
As for shooting and breakthrough, not to mention, he could only use the opportunity of set pieces to create murderous opportunities. .
Benitez looked at the situation on the court and felt extremely calm.
It seemed that this substitution adjustment was really timely.
As long as Ai Luo was restricted, the threats of Drogba and Malouda would plummet.
Competition shouldn't be a problem.
"Mascherano's defense is worthy of being at the top level in the Premier League.
His defense prevented Aiello from finding any decent opportunities in the second half, and it also indirectly helped Liverpool to launch two quick counterattacks.
If it weren't for Chelsea captain Terry's defense You must be very focused, otherwise the score on the field will be rewritten again.”
The game at Anfield Stadium continued, and Zhan Jun took advantage of the stalemate to express his feelings.
In order to get opportunities, Aiello spared no effort in running erratically in the frontcourt, but Mascherano, who came on the field in the second half, was more physically fit and would follow him wherever he went.
Therefore, facing the head coach Mascherano who has excellent tactical execution, Aiello has no good solution and can only continue to use his interspersed running to look for opportunities.
During this period of the game, both sides were looking for opportunities, but due to the strong defense of their respective defenders, they did not give the opponent's forward a good chance.
In the blink of an eye, the game time reached the 65th minute, that is to say There are only 25 minutes of regular time left in the game.
If you include injury time, it will only be 28 minutes at most.
Therefore, the director of Anfield Stadium took advantage of the dead ball opportunity and frequently showed the camera to the warm-up area to see if the two sides of the game should make personnel adjustments.
Mourinho turned to look at the players in the warm-up area and found that there were no personnel to adjust.
Although Malouda's offensive ability was not as good as Kalou's, his enthusiasm was something that the Ivorian did not possess.
Whether it was offense or defense, he was watertight. .
As for Drogba, he is even more intimidating.
Not only can he be used as an offensive fulcrum in the frontcourt, but he can also serve as a ball for his teammates.
He is also very capable of seizing opportunities in front of the goal.
And Aiello is not among the ranks of substitutions and adjustments.
The transfer fee of 60 million pounds is not a small amount of money.
In other words, every extra minute Aiello is on the court will indirectly help Abramovich.

The investment is reduced by one point.
The three midfielders do not need to be adjusted for the time being.
Of course, it will be another matter until the elderly Makelele becomes physically exhausted.
"More than half of the second half has passed, but Ai has also disappeared during this period.
This can be said to be his first crisis since landing in the Premier League.
If he cannot find opportunities in the next time, then Other Premier League teams will follow suit, and it will be difficult to move forward at that time," Andy Gray said worriedly with many years of commentary experience.
Aiello took the ball on the left and made continuous feints to move away from the angle and prepare to hit the goal, but Mascherano clung to him reluctantly, giving him no chance to easily kick off the ball.
Ladd was about to step forward to steal, so he had to hastily take a long shot, but the effect was predictable and he shot directly towards the second-floor stands.
Seeing Aiello shooting the ball into the second-tier stands, the Liverpool fans at home burst into laughter.
How could they miss this opportunity?
After finishing the shot, Aiello didn't pay attention to the roar of laughter from the opening stage.
Instead, he turned his head and glanced at Mascherano.
The latter had a comfortable face and looked very relaxed.
He subconsciously clenched his fists and refused to give in.
In fact, this is not the case.
Mascherano's pressure is not much less than that of Aiello.
From a defender's point of view, his pressure is much greater than that of the offensive Aiello.
Because offensive players actively seek changes, while defensive players need to follow the offensive players to make changes, which means that defensive players consume more energy and energy than offensive players, especially offensive players like Ai Luo who are very good at combining man and ball.
It makes defenders feel Alexander even more
