CHAPTER 1074: CHAPTER 345: THE RISE OF THE FITNESS COACH (PART 2)

"Chelsea indeed needs new players to share the heavy workload of games right now, Liverpool has made a substitution, David Ngog replaced Benayoun, this substitution is very wise."

"Chelsea is also preparing for a substitution, but calling three players to warm up at the same time seems unusual."

After the substitution, Liverpool’s tactics also changed.

Riera received the ball on the left and immediately charged forward, facing Deco’s tackle, he quickly nudged the ball past Deco’s back.

Deco turned around quickly, and Riera was immediately entangled by Deco again.

After two successive attempts to dodge without finding an opportunity to cross, Riera turned and passed back to a teammate.

The advancing Aurelio then sent in a 45° cross, the ball arced towards the front of Chelsea’s penalty area.

David Ngog stood still waiting for the ball.

Terry rushed and leaped high to head the ball away.

Smack —

The ball flew towards the right side.

Ramos controlled it with his chest and brought it forward.

Riera came up for the challenge, Ramos quickly pushed the ball past Riera.

He swung his arms forward, driving himself onward.

Riera evaded Ramos’s arm, but was pushed away.

Pang —

Ramos made another long pass from the backfield.

Huntelaar noticed Huang Kaiwen’s movement, switched to the left and completed a crossover with Huang Kaiwen.

During the switch, he deliberately paused in front of Kuyt, momentarily blocking him.

Within that moment, Huang Kaiwen had already left Kuyt five meters behind.

While sprinting at high speed, Huang Kaiwen slightly bent his left knee, then straightened it to exert himself, soaring high as he headed the ball towards the right side, in front of De Jong.

Deco came forward, extending his right foot, stopping the ball with the inside of his foot.

The force of Huang Kaiwen’s header pass wasn’t small, and with Aurelio already behind, Deco had no time to adjust, hastily raised his right foot and hit the bottom of the ball.

Smack —

Even in a rushed pass, Deco maintained a high standard.

The ball flew over De Jong’s head, falling in front of Huang Kaiwen.

Huntelaar, back to the middle, was wrestling with Carragher for position, and the ball wasn’t far from Carragher.

He decisively abandoned Huntelaar and rushed towards the ball.

Smack —

The sprinting Huang Kaiwen lifted his right foot, placing it under the ball.

The ball sailed over the heads of Carragher and Huntelaar into the big penalty area.

As the ball fell towards the right side of the penalty area, Huang Kaiwen, rushing in, stiffened his neck and applied a bit of force to hit underneath the ball.

Pang —

With a crisp sound, the ball soared again. Reina standing nearby had no time to adjust, leaping from his spot, stretching his hands back in vain, but still couldn’t stop the ball from arching over him and falling behind the goal line.

The freshly spirited Liverpool fans were struck like lightning.

Anfield Stadium once again fell silent.

"Kevin!!!!!"

"Kevin Goal!"

"Goal! Goal! Goal!"

"Seeing this goal, it reminds me of one thing."

"That is, Kevin, after his first touch, never waits for the ball to land before shooting, and it seems he has never missed. So we conclude that when Kevin lifts the ball and finds a chance for a volley, the ball will surely break the opponent’s goal. I call this theorem ’Kevin’s First Law.’

"From this goal, I can also derive Kevin’s Second Law... when Kevin chooses to lob, whether with his head or foot, there are only two possibilities, goal or no goal, no goalkeeper can block Kevin’s lob, at least in my impression."

"If Newton were still around, after watching this match, he might be further inspired, after all, even I can deduce two laws from one goal. If the Italians really care about educational quality, those bastards at the Ministry of Education should put Kevin in the textbooks already!"

While the Chelsea players were celebrating, Joe Cole pulled his muscle again.

This made the previously excited Chelsea players start to panic.

The Chelsea medical team rushed onto the field at the first instance, and after a simple check, they carried Joe Cole off on a stretcher.

Boas originally planned to substitute Huang Kaiwen with Miroslav Stoch, but now had to substitute Joe Cole instead.

"Anderson, Anderson, you and Ballack play as dual central midfielders, and switch to a single defensive midfielder, let this kid go to the right wing."

Boas shouted towards the field.

Deco made an OK gesture towards the sideline.

Malouda and Kalou were both recovering from injuries.

Anelka, due to an internal suspension resulting from an undisclosed incident involving his brother, Boas and Mourinho wouldn’t use Anelka unless absolutely necessary.

Drogba was lightly injured.

After a shortage of defensive players, Chelsea faced issues on the attacking line as well.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t continuously give opportunities to the 20-year-old reserve players.

Football is this cruel, Miroslav Stoch performed well in Chelsea’s reserves, but couldn’t showcase much in the first team.

If it weren’t for the injuries plaguing the first team, he likely wouldn’t have had today’s opportunity to play.

The first team players were friendly towards Stoch.

They even encouraged him with a few words when he came on.

Deco knew Stoch hadn’t played on the same pitch as Huang Kaiwen, so he pulled him aside and said, "Don’t focus too much on trying to perform on the field; your scoring efficiency won’t surpass Kevin’s. To win, what you need to do is draw the opponent’s attention, and then pass the ball to Kevin, understand?"

"Yeah."

Stoch nodded vigorously.

But he felt slightly unhappy inside.

After all, it’s a rare chance to play, and just passing without showing some performance might not lead to more playtime in the future.
