It's cheating, but Hazard

Chapter 306 Red Legend (II)

"Charles! The ball goes in!"

"Chelsea 1:0 Liverpool. It seems that in today's game, Ancelotti wants to offset his past loss to Liverpool with a victory."

"Before the game, he was asked if he had thought about buying Gerrard back to Chelsea in the winter transfer window, but Ancelotti said that because of the tight financial situation, he had no intention of buying Gerrard."

"But with Charles as a player, Ancelotti should be satisfied in his heart no matter how much the transfer fee is."

"Juninho was known as the free-kick master and among the new generation of players, Charles looks like he can perfectly take over this mantle."

"The top of the penalty area is not only Charles' absolute domain in mobile warfare, but also Charles' forte in free kicks."

"Perhaps in other words, when you give Charles a free kick opportunity, that's when you die slowly."

"This is not a free kick, but a penalty kick with a very high hit rate!"

"In the previous penalty record, Charles only missed one penalty. If we look at it from this perspective, Charles' free kick success rate is higher than penalty kicks."

"The comeback gene hidden in the hearts of Liverpool players may be activated. As long as they wait until the second half, they can tie the score or even overtake."

"But now I want to say that they have to speed up the process because Charles may score goals faster than they think."

Liverpool restarted.

Lucas passed the ball diagonally to Gerrard, and Mikel pressed forward. As soon as he got in front of Gerrard, the ball was transferred again. Zhirkov accelerated forward to intercept and prepare to steal the ball, but for some reason, Zhirkov rushed over and did not make a steal, and the ball was passed back to Lucas' feet again.

Charles retreated, and seeing this, Lucas turned around to protect the ball, and with a flick of his ankle, the ball accurately found Rodriguez.

After receiving the ball, Rodriguez sprinted forward with it. Torres and Kuyt, who were not far away, had already ambushed between Chelsea's defenders. Gerrard and Lucas also moved forward, and the five ghosts shot at the door.

Mikel realized something was wrong and chased back immediately, but just as he got near Rodriguez, Rodriguez kicked the ball above his head.

Gerrard received the ball smoothly near the front point. Ramirez had just arrived and Gerrard had already skillfully sent the ball diagonally forward.

"Gerald, give it to the back, is there any chance?"

"Too deep... Kuyt received the pass but was blocked by Ivanovic as well."

"Kuyt was still working hard and got the ball back and passed it to Meireles."

"Mereles was ready to cut inside and try to dribble past the defense... He can play anywhere in the midfield, has excellent passing skills and a beautiful long shot."

After a failed attempt to dribble past the defense, Meireles quickly pushed the ball back with the outside of his foot, and the ball passed through the crowd and found Gerrard with difficulty.

The retreating Charles also wanted to intercept, but Gerrard obviously didn't want to give Charles this opportunity. Without stopping the ball, he transferred the ball to Lucas' feet.

After receiving the ball, Lucas looked up at the situation in front of him. Torres was in an offside position, so he could only pass the ball diagonally to Rodriguez.

Rodriguez also understood what he meant. Just as Zhirkov was about to make a move, Rodriguez shook his ankle and kicked the ball above.

But Lucas never expected that Charles, who was just behind Gerrard, suddenly accelerated like a cheetah the moment the ball came. Before he could stop the ball, Charles had already stretched out his foot from the diagonal back and accurately intercepted the ball.

The entire Anfield immediately erupted in loud boos.

All the reds in the audience became panicked.

But Charles didn't care about this at all. Instead, he ran faster amid the boos. Before Lucas could stand firm, Charles hooked the ball in his direction with his left foot again.

Lucas and other Liverpool players also reacted and just wanted to chase back, but Lucas couldn't stop Charles at all.

Hodgson, who was eager to go to Hogwarts for further studies, saw it all clearly. Although he knew that Lucas had tried his best, he was still struggling like his grandmother and seemed to be staggering in front of Charles.

Just as he was about to reach the center line, Charles knocked the ball across Anelka with the outside of his right foot.

After receiving the ball, Anelka ran with it. Gerrard's face turned red and he wanted to stop Anelka, but he didn't know what was wrong with Anelka today. Maybe it was because the French trident combination was particularly excited today, the whole person seemed to have endless energy and carried him forward.

Anelka's speed was getting faster and faster, and soon Gerrard was left behind by him. Carragher and Skrtel looked at him and retreated. Just when Anelka came to the penalty area, he saw that there was not much space to shoot and shot directly.

"boom!"

The ball turned into a meteor and flew towards the blind corner of the goal.

Reina, standing on the goal line, jumped high, dived sideways, and successfully blocked the ball.

"Charles and Anelka worked very well together just now, but this time Reina managed to save Anelka's shot."

"Looking back at the time when Charles successfully stole the ball, Lucas also wanted to hold Charles back, to stop him from running and speeding up. However, not only was Charles faster than him, he also dodged him, so Lucas couldn't use any strength at all."

"In fact, one thing is that the cooperation between Chelsea's trident is too good. Gerrard wanted to shoot from behind just now, but the threat of this ball was resolved in the end. One of the reasons is that the tacit understanding between them is not that high, so no goal was scored in the end."

"Okay, Chelsea corner kick, Charles will take the penalty again. I wonder what different sparks of inspiration Chelsea's trident will bring us today."

As the referee blew the whistle, Anelka, who was originally standing in the penalty area, rushed out. At the same time, Charles quickly knocked the ball forward and ran into the field.

After receiving the ball, Anelka did not carry it for any longer, but passed the ball back again.

Rodriguez and Gerrard both came out to intercept, but Charles calmly stopped the ball with his left foot. Just as Gerrard was about to rush in front of him, he swung his ankle.

"boom."

Gerrard quickly turned his head and saw that the ball had accurately found Cole at some point.

Liverpool players could only change their target again, but Cole was not the final destination this time. Cole turned around easily and passed the ball steadily. Terry, who was not far from the top of the penalty area, stopped and passed the ball again.

Liverpool's formation moved as a whole, and the ball was once again transferred from Alex's feet to Ivanovic's feet.

Ivanovic stepped into the penalty area and wanted to pass the ball, but in the end the ball did not pass Torres. The ball hit Torres' chest and bounced straight out of bounds.

Chelsea throw-in.

Ramirez took the initiative to walk out of bounds, picked up the ball, wiped it, and finally threw it to Ramirez.

The ball was finally caught by the Liverpool players and rolled out of bounds again. Meireles took the ball from the ball boy and raised it high, throwing it to Gerrard.

Mikel stretched out his foot to try to steal the ball, and Gerrard quickly picked up the ball, but the person he was going to receive the ball was already closely watched by Ivanovic, so Kuyt could only head the ball across the storage room.

Charles and Konchesky rushed towards the landing point of the ball at the same time. Konchesky followed behind Charles and jumped at the same time, leaning forward, trying to press down Charles and limit his jump. However, what Charles did not expect was that Charles' jumping ability was even more amazing than he thought.

"boom--"

The ball passed over the Liverpool player in the middle and accurately found Alex.

Alex stopped the ball with his chest, and Mikel retreated and headed the ball, trying to pass it back to Terry.

At this moment, Torres came from behind and broke into the top of the penalty area.

Te Li almost suffered a cardiac arrest, but in an emergency, he quickly picked up the ball.

Although the ball was not caught by Torres, it was eventually caught by Skrtel near the midfield after a long flight.

Skrtel kicked the ball above the goal, and Lucas near the midfield stopped the ball and turned around to protect it, avoiding Lucas who was trying to steal the ball and passed it again.

The moment Konchesky received the ball, he was targeted by Charles.

Although as a defender, his ability to steal should be better than that of a forward, he does not dare to underestimate Charles at all.

After all, even if Charles made more than a dozen mistakes, he could still be the best forward now. But in this game, if he made one mistake, it would be possible to ruin the situation that he had finally stabilized.

Besides, where can a defender and a forward compete in steals?
Just as Charles rushed in front of him, Konchesky kicked the ball hard and passed it back to goalkeeper Reina very flexibly.

After stopping the ball, Reina took a few steps, observed the situation in the frontcourt, and finally decided to pass the ball to Skrtel.

Skrtel passed the ball forward and Gerrard received it and turned around.

Chelsea players began to put pressure on Gerrard in an orderly manner.

To be on the safe side, Gerrard finally chose to pass the ball horizontally to Meireles, but Meireles also could not see a suitable passing space, and also wanted to pass the ball back to be on the safe side.

In this way, the ball was passed again and again, but it did not move forward but moved backward, and finally returned to Reina's feet again.

Reina scratched his head and finally decided to make some changes - pass the ball to Carragher.

But Carragher died just after receiving the ball. Charles, who had been following him, came up to him the moment he received the ball, like a seasoned defender.

Carragher turned around in embarrassment to protect the ball, but Charles still stayed with him, and various struggles were constantly going on between the two of them.

In the end, Carragher lost the struggle and fell to the ground, but he did not have Charles' ability to keep the ball after falling.

Charles hooked the ball with his left foot, and Carragher rolled and crawled, grabbing Charles' hind legs with his hands.

Rodriguez and Anelka were not far away and hurried forward to join in. Eventually, with someone holding him back from behind and a troublemaker in front, Charles lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Rodriguez quickly intercepted the ball and passed it back to Skrtel.

"Damn it, why didn't they blow the whistle!"

Hodgson was a little angry.

The teaching assistant scratched his head and stared at Hodgson again, "Roy, did you just go to Hogwarts for further studies?"

"No, why do you ask? Do you want to go once?"

"No, I just wanted to say that it seems like we were the ones who committed the foul just now."

The teaching assistant whispered.

Hodgson's face immediately turned red, and he murmured, "How can you say that you have misjudged the football coach? I was just too engrossed in what I saw just now..."

"Roy," the assistant coach said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "You don't really think that Charles is our player, do you?"

"Humph, it would be great if it were true," said Mr. Huo with a sigh.

The game continues on the court.

After receiving the ball, Kelly advanced on the wing, but just after passing the middle, he encountered a Chelsea player defending, and Meireles hurried forward.

After seeing Meireles, Kelly immediately passed the ball to Meireles. After receiving the ball, Meireles did not have any heroic thoughts, but immediately turned around and passed the ball back.

The ball accurately found Carragher, and Carragher made the most appropriate judgment in the first time.

He kicked the ball above his head, and the ball quickly passed Mikel and Zhirkov and found Torres in the front.

Ivanovic immediately followed up, Torres touched the ball with the inside of his right foot and stopped it, then rushed to the sideline with the ball, and Ivanovic also followed.

Seeing that there was no way to get rid of Ivanovic, Torres turned around and immediately passed the ball to Gerrard.

Gerrard watched as he moved with the ball, planning his route.

Suddenly, a foot appeared in front of him. Gerrard was startled and didn't have time to see it clearly. He kicked the ball with his right foot, dodged it narrowly, and passed the ball back.

Torres dribbled the ball inside, and this time, Ivanovic was still a little staggering when facing Torres. Ramirez, who was not far away, also came to assist in defense, but before his defense was in place, Torres kicked the ball away.

Everyone's eyes quickly turned to the ball. Cech was still looking for the ball in the defender's active field of vision while blocking the near corner.

But the ball was going too fast. Cech finally saw the ball, but there was no time to make any defensive moves. He could only watch the ball roll in from his feet.

"The ball goes in, Chelsea 1:1 Liverpool, Liverpool equalized the score. Chelsea must be careful. If they can't keep up with the scoring speed, Liverpool is likely to bring a big reversal."

"Cech judged that Torres was going to shoot at the top left corner, and he was already in position, but he didn't expect the ball to roll in from the bottom left corner."

"The combination of Torres and Gerrard once again showed their strength, and the suspense rose again. Can the Blues escape from Anfield successfully and finally bring back a victory?"
