Six Hundred and Sixteenth Battle to Break the Ice!
Liverpool fans can laugh at Chelsea's shrinking on the court, but in fact it definitely reveals the inner panic of the Red Army fans!
Because during Situ Yunbing's tenure as coach, they never deliberately reacted to the opponent's performance. Anyway, no matter whether the opponent worked hard or relaxed, stubborn or cowardly, they would be completely defeated by Liverpool in the end!
But Chelsea is different. This one-hour game has made Liverpool fans feel the same as Situ Yunbing in the knockout background. Maybe Chelsea will create another miracle!
The once dilapidated Blue Army can also eliminate strong enemies one after another to stage a counterattack, and Mourinho has a masterpiece of defeating the strong with the weak since his debut!
The combination of the two makes it easier to cause such panic!
But this pessimistic thought only flashed in Situ Yunbing's mind, and that was in the first half.
Now, he has no time to savor his emotional changes.
He's focused on the game, and any sign of trouble will force him to play out the situation in his head.
At the level of him and Mourinho, when the danger signals can be seen with the naked eye, like the audience, it is too late!
Either it is flawed and powerless, or it is helpless.
When Chelsea strengthened the defense in the center and slightly opened up the outside space to Liverpool, this really made Liverpool even have no chance to follow up with long shots in the center.
But it doesn't mean that Liverpool's offense has not changed!
In the 64th minute of the game, Gerrard sent a cross from the right side of the front court.
The football flew to the rear of the penalty area, and Gareth Bale quickly went forward and shook his head to attack the goal, which was blocked by Petr Cech!
Chelsea's generals are concentrating, but they still can't completely contain Liverpool from creating threats!
Since the start of the second half, Liverpool's threatening offensives from both wings to the ribs have been mainly short passes, including through ground passes and overhead passes, but they are all short passes after all.
Now this kind of long pass from the right to the left rib has changed.
It is conceivable that when Chelsea compresses the local space, of course they will concentrate their firepower to block the short pass to the target.
Then the activity space for the remote response target will become larger!
Even though this attack is not considered a threat, the impact of the tactical change is enough to distract Chelsea's generals and form a certain degree of containment.
Because they can't just stare at the eyes, but also need to take care of the overall situation!
But as Chelsea gradually shrunk their defense, their enthusiasm for counterattacks decreased again, and the situation of the game fell into a stalemate.
Both teams seemed to have locked their positions, like a pool of stagnant water, without any waves.
There is only an almost mechanical partial confrontation.
From a defensive point of view, Chelsea is gradually shrinking the defense line and making the key defensive areas in front of the goal solid. However, from an offensive point of view, Liverpool has also woven a large net to wrap Chelsea in it. Under this extreme offensive and defensive confrontation, Ah As almost the only force in Chelsea's counterattack, Zall was like a butterfly falling into a spider's web, unable to move, and became slightly depressed after several struggles.
In the 70th minute of the game, Mourinho replaced Hazard, who was active in running but failed to create a threat, and Torres came on.
The appearance of Torres is a signal, which means that in the remaining 20 minutes, Chelsea will completely defend and counterattack?
All it takes is a long pass for Torres to try his luck.
Even Ramirez and Willian won't make it past halftime!
The reporters and ball critics in the media seats always looked a little ugly, which is very in line with this absolutely terrible game from the perspective of watching the game.
Although the game was ugly, they had to admit that Mourinho's tricks definitely gave Situ Yunbing a headache!
Perhaps this is the only option to stop the advance of the Red Army!
Situ Yunbing has been waiting, he was waiting for Mourinho's signal to stick to it, and Torres' appearance finally made him wait for this signal.
He gestured toward the field with what appeared to be an understatement, before continuing to watch the game with his hands in his pockets.
Liverpool will enter the furious attack in the final stage of the game!
In the 72nd minute of the game, Coutinho made an oblique pass from the left side of the front field to the penalty area and then looked for Suarez. After Cahill made a header to clear the siege, William was countered by Azpilicueta as soon as he took possession of the ball from the wing. Rob, he passed the ball to the middle, but Mikel didn't step forward, which resulted in Kanter stealing the ball easily, Liverpool continued to attack, and Eriksson also directly picked a pass into the penalty area from the middle.
David Luiz headed the ball out and Lampard followed up with a volley and kicked the ball up the field.
Van Dijk took the lead in controlling the ball in the backcourt, and Torres rushed up to counter-grab, but before he got close to Van Dijk, the opponent had already passed the ball.
Chelsea fans can see it clearly. With today's posture, Mourinho came to the away game without even thinking about winning!
If you can win, it is definitely luck!
But at the level of giants, it is very difficult for a team that does not want to win to lose!
Mourinho's team exemplifies this perfectly.
It is conceivable that the difficulty of Liverpool's attack is unprecedented.
Because in Germany, Spain, France, no giants will do it as thoroughly as Mourinho's Chelsea, even in Italy, which is famous for its defense, the giants will not do this!
But Mourinho's team can do it!
Fans who don't like him will say that he has no bottom line!
But for opponents in the same field, Situ Yunbing never judges tactics by good or bad.
Liverpool has obviously started to speed up, speeding up the rhythm of the attack, even if the attack is very simple, they are tirelessly launching the offensive.
In the 76th minute of the game, Gerrard made a direct pass from the right to Suarez, and David Luiz took the lead to clear the ball with a header and pushed the ball out of the sideline.
Azpilicueta took the ball from the sideline, Gerrard quickly knocked the ball back, Liverpool's offense shifted to the left, Coutinho waded inside and took a long shot 30 yards from the goal!
Cech made a successful save and held the ball in his arms.
Two minutes later, Liverpool attacked in the middle. Eriksson passed the ball short to Gareth Bale in front of Mikel and Lampard. The latter kicked the ball back after being surrounded by many people. Luo followed up and then transferred the ball to the right.
Azpilicueta dribbles the ball forward quickly, collaborating with Gerrard on the wall in front of Willian, and then goes all the way to the bottom, facing Ashley Cole before returning to the side baseline, Azpilicueta Knocking the ball back obliquely, Gerrard ran over to the penalty area and half-turned and sent the ball, obviously looking for Gareth Bell who was behind the penalty area and advanced forward.

Ivanovic took two steps forward and then sent a direct pass to Torres.
Benatia rushed forward and tackled near the halfway line to snatch the ball back before Torres had possession.
Kante has the ball and Liverpool's offensive continues!
Kante sent the ball short to Eriksson, who knocked it back diagonally when the ball came to the penalty area and was blocked again in the middle.
Casemiro followed up and hit the goal with a heavy bombardment!
Cech swooped extremely and barely blocked the ball, and David Luiz took the lead in clearing the ball in the penalty area.
The football flew to the middle circle and was once again controlled by the Liverpool defender.
After calmly observing the situation, Van Dijk passed the ball diagonally to the right.
When Gerrard stopped the ball, Chelsea's defense quickly adjusted, Gareth Bale and Suarez were once again in the predicament of being marked, and Ramires, Ivanovic, also guarded against Couti. Neo cut inside, Lampard and Mikel blocked Eriksen, and William rushed to steal Gerrard.
At this time, Gerrard sent the ball short to the wing, Azpilicueta quickly rushed to the bottom of the ball, Ashley Cole tried to block him, Azpilicueta this time But the kick kicked back to make Ashley Cole's center of gravity shake, and then the space exposed in front of him made him knock the ball diagonally back to Gerrard.
Geraldella turned around to dodge the sweep from William, then dribbled a step to the middle, and at the same time completed the adjustment and kicked the goal!
In this flash, even though Mikel knew that Gerrard's left-footed shot would not bring much threat, he still wanted to block it, but Eriksson took the initiative to move closer to the goal, making Lampard follow Defend.
At the same time, a figure quickly rushed towards the restricted area along the middle road!
This figure is very inconspicuous, but Lampard's eyes changed when he was defending against Eriksson. He immediately yelled at his teammates, followed Eriksson's footsteps and hesitated a step, and pointed his finger at the one that was heading towards Chelsea's penalty area. Inside figure!
Situ Yunbing raised his chin slightly, his face was serious, but his eyes were full of murderous intent!
After all, Gerrard didn't take a shot, but knocked the ball gently horizontally.
Eriksson didn't make any adjustments when he came to meet him, he kicked the goal directly!
The football is like a white rainbow and goes straight to the lower right of the middle of the goal!
Petr Cech blocked the ball with a limit save on the spot, and the football flew to the right.
Just when all the Chelsea defenders retreated to protect the goal, all the Chelsea generals also saw clearly the Liverpool player who suddenly entered the Chelsea penalty area like a center forward: Kanter!
At this time, they have no time to be afraid!
If Cech's save happened to block the ball in front of him, Kanter would have an easy follow-up shot against the half-empty goal!
But the crisis is not over yet!
Because when the blocked football flew to the side, Ashley Cole failed to clear the siege immediately!
On the contrary, Azpilicueta killed him and took the ball first!
Azpilicueta flicked the ball towards the baseline, dodged the press from William, and swept the ball vigorously to the front of the goal with his right foot!

When the football flew into the goal, the Anfield stadium erupted into cheers that shook the heavens!
Chelsea will be full of sluggishness!
Mourinho lowered his head and clenched his fists!
Situ Yunbing pulled his hands out of his pockets and also clenched his fists and roared to the sky!
