This substitution, from Chelsea's point of view, is the alternation of old and new Warcraft.

As for Liverpool, Dalglish simply doesn't want to get injured again, he is a little scared.

Sterling touched the turf!

This is the first time he has represented Liverpool's first team in the League Cup, against a strong team like Chelsea.

"Go! Sterling! Play hard, otherwise, prison will be waiting for you!" In his head, what his high school teacher told him echoed at this time.

During those difficult years, only football could bring him joy.

If you can't face the miserable life with a smile, then you can only be overwhelmed by the 70% crime rate around you!

"Raheem!" Sterling ran over with a self-conscious grin when he heard Lindy calling him.

Lindy put a hand on his shoulder: "Are you nervous?"

"Huh? Uh... have some, right? Ha...haha..." Sterling smiled a little forcedly, and his legs that couldn't stay still gave him away.

"Don't be nervous, let me tell you, the striker is very simple, you only need to do one thing." Lindy said quickly while leading him forward, "Shoot!"

"Shoot?"

"After entering the penalty area, as long as there is space, don't hesitate, don't think, don't use your brains, just shoot!"

The game has already started, Lindy didn't have more time to say anything else, and patted him on the back.

Next, it's up to God.

Member Lu on the other side... Lukaku flicked his beautiful dreadlocks and looked for the opponent's goal.

Well, that's right, it's on the left!

The game restarts.

But people soon discovered that the atmosphere on the field had changed.

There is an inexplicable joyful atmosphere that fills this tense stadium.

Obviously, three people have been injured in this match, and the two sides should be at war.

Look at the dignified faces of the two head coaches Di Matteo and Dalglish on the sidelines. They shouldn't be happy at all.

3 minutes later

Lampard sent a through kick in the midfield. Lukaku, who is 191 tall, has his back against Ronaldinho.. No, his back against Coates, leading with his left foot, and is about to turn around.

But the ball is gone!

"Oops! Stop it!"

Hey, Lukaku licked his lips and stretched out his left hand....

Three meters away, the bewildered Bellamy looked at the football rolling to his feet, and quickly turned around to fight back.

Where no one noticed, the corners of Di Matteo's eyes twitched, as if he sensed something bad.

Fortunately, Lampard did not go too far forward, he directly blocked Bellamy's advance route in the middle circle.

In desperation, he had no choice but to pass the ball back to Lindy who was outflanking him.

"Oh!"

Lindy sent a long pass directly in a weird way, and there is no one there now.

Just when people were wondering, a little red man rushed there at an extremely fast speed.

The Liverpool fans at the scene immediately cheered. This was their first counterattack after being passive for nearly 20 minutes.

"That little guy is so fast! Sterling, go!" Reed shouted loudly.

Brown beside him also began to get excited: "Come on, the future British Emperor!"

"Brown, are you exaggerating, 17-year-old British star, is there no one in England?"

Before the few people started arguing about it, the cheers stopped abruptly.

Lindy, who just thought he made a good pass, also stood there in a daze, his face gradually distorted, and the smile on his face disappeared...

"Don't be angry, don't be angry, this is an accident, he must be too nervous." Lindy kept comforting himself to calm down his mood.

Let's rewind time to 10 seconds ago.

Sterling shook off all the defenders like an elf on the field.

Suddenly appeared at the hole in Chelsea's defense.

One-handed!

But in this case, only one pass.

Cech, who was attacking, seemed to have received a pass back from the defender, and almost used his feet to catch it habitually.

But at this time Sterling's heart was in a panic, but he still kept a smile on his face.

Smiling is his protective color, "Raheem, you have to smile more, those bad guys don't like children with a sad face, don't follow in the footsteps of your father, understand?"

After so many years, he has gotten used to it.

Fortunately, everyone can understand this ball very well.

After all, you are only 17 years old, and this is normal.

Moreover, the fans at the scene couldn't bear to scold him when they saw his smile.

The game continues.

But the happy atmosphere seems to be starting to be rendered.

The game time is 39 minutes.

Chelsea's striker was high and fast at the same time, and Meireles sent a 45-degree cross.

Torres, who is 185 tall, leaped high in the penalty area to grab the first spot.

However, under the interference of Agger, he could only choose to rub back. Lukaku, who is 191 tall, stretched his feet before everyone and grabbed the landing point like the wind.

"Oh!"

The eyes of all the fans followed the football and watched the football go up in unison.

Enough weird things happened today, and the fans seem to have gotten used to it.

The instigator touched the back of his neck, which had no creases, feeling a little embarrassed.

Lindy didn't feel anything. Whether or not he scored with this kind of ball was just luck.

He glanced at Sterling outside the penalty area and smiled at him.

In the last few minutes of the first half, neither side achieved anything.

The game ended the first half 0-1 as Dalglish expected.

On the way back to the locker room, Lindy, as the "big brother", patted Sterling on the shoulder: "I didn't expect that you would be able to catch the ball. If it was me, I might not even be able to reach that position. If you can shoot directly from that place, it should be very handsome, right?"

Sterling nodded a little dizzily.

Lindy continued: "If mom sees this ball, it should be great, right?"

!!!

Sterling looked at Lindy suddenly, and there was an obvious change in his eyes.

The smile on his face gradually faded, and he looked like a man, just a little, just a little.

...

When everyone returned to the locker room, they saw Dalglish standing in front of the tactical board with a serious face, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

The players became serious one by one in an instant, sitting in their own positions, waiting for the boss to speak.

Dalglish didn't waste any time, and said straight to the point:

"The score in the first half was within my expectations, but the process was not what I expected."

"We were lucky, there were 2 turnovers in the defense, but the opponent didn't grasp it."

"Being behind by 1 goal means that we still have a chance in the second half, so where is the chance?"

"Papa!" He patted the tactical board and said in a low voice, "In the second half, let's change our thinking."

"Lin!" Dalgliesh looked at Lindy, "In the second half, your position should be more advanced, just lock Lampard, and leave the rest to your teammates, you have to trust them!"

"The opponent's two forwards have obvious advantages, and they have a certain physical advantage. Agger and Coates, let me just say one thing, defend against the feet! They are forced to use reverse feet. Today, the two forwards are not in good condition. Our chance!"

"Once the counterattack starts, Lindy, Tangning, and Sterling, you all go up together with me. You must fight resolutely and shoot directly when you have a chance! Others don't go too deep!"

Afterwards, Dalglish turned to look at Sterling with a gentle voice: "Raheem, don't be nervous, we are all optimistic about you!"

"Remember, I only want one goal. They are more exhausted than us. We have an advantage in extra time."

"One more thing, I am very satisfied with your performance in the first half, I hope this state can continue in the league, okay?"

Everyone nodded in unison, and many even showed excitement.

The implication of Dalglish's words is obvious, the league...
