Six Hundred and Seventy-Five Remember?

Anfield Stadium, the battle between Liverpool and Chelsea is imminent.

The live game live broadcast camera frequently aimed at Lewandowski on the Liverpool bench!

The Polish center who has just returned from injury has not entered the starting list. The outside world expects him to appear in this strong dialogue to test his strength in the Premier League.

But Situ Yunbing actually didn't have the idea of ​​letting him play in today's game, unless it was a forced situation.

Both Situ Yunbing and Mourinho are in the attitude of the enemy's current concentration.

Both of them understand that the meaning of this game is higher than the outcome of the game itself!

Leaving aside Chelsea's strengthening of the midfield this summer, the joining of Cesc Fabregas and Matic has instantly improved Chelsea's midfield to a new level. The two problems of defense and offensive organization have been solved together. Diego Costa's Joining also made Chelsea's troubled center forward position in the past two seasons regain their dominance!

Just by comparing Liverpool's starting lineup today with last season, you can know how severe the situation Liverpool is facing.

Coutinho and Suarez, the strikers of Liverpool last season, the former was injured and the latter moved away.

Mahrez and Vardy, who started today, are obviously down a notch!

Based on this alone, we can understand Situ Yunbing's worries in the past half month.

If Liverpool is still close to its own limit, why not Chelsea, if you want to break through, the difficulty will increase exponentially!

So at their level, there are only two possibilities to break through, the first is technique and tactics, and the second is fate!

If the former is not an epoch-making change, it is basically difficult to make a difference, and the latter is blessed by God, the team has almost no injuries throughout the season and the team's state is off the charts!

It is a pity that Liverpool have not been very good in these two aspects this season.

Injury troubles are obvious to all. At the technical and tactical level, if you want to say how many tricks you can play every day in tough battles, it must be in the case of a well-organized lineup. Key positions always rely on substitutes and want to innovate and make achievements. It is really whimsical .

Today against Chelsea, Situ Yunbing also lowered his stance.

After the referee blew the whistle to start the game, Liverpool took the lead in attacking. Situ Yunbing paid attention to Chelsea's movements to see how they were in the away game today.

Gareth Bale returned to the left today in order to allow Mahrez to play a greater threat on the right.

In case Mahrez can't play on the left, the right will be easily blocked by opponents.

When Eriksson and Casemiro passed the organization in the midfield, Chelsea's lineup did not shrink to the extreme, which was a bit different from Chelsea's performance when the two teams met in the Champions League last season.

It seems that Mourinho really has the confidence.

In the second year of coaching Chelsea, after completing the lineup replacement, he sorted out the team's defense, organization, and offense in one go.

But even if Chelsea is in a period of strong rise, it is impossible for Mourinho to come to Anfield to show his cards and stud with Situ Yunbing.

In the opening stage, Chelsea's 433 is more like a 4231 defensive counterattack.

The most fearful thing on the court is that they think their opponent is weak and can rush up and swallow it in one gulp, but who would have wiped the tiger's ass and be torn to pieces by the backhand!

Matic, Cesc Fabregas, and Ramirez have a tacit understanding of the defense in the midfield, leaving Liverpool with no space to penetrate in the middle. Eriksson has some difficulty in controlling the ball in the dangerous offensive zone. This is why Forcing Liverpool's offensive organization to be farther away from the opponent's defensive hinterland, it will also be difficult for the offense to make more delicate small-scale passes.

Liverpool first relied on Gareth Bale to see how he played on the left.

When Gareth Bale has the ball on the left, the Chelsea midfielders split up to help defend the wing, Fabregas guards Gareth Bale's inside line, and Ivanovic defends cautiously, even though Gareth Bale If there is a chance to pass the ball, it can only be on the outside.

Gareth Bale didn't have room for an explosive speed advantage, so he could only patiently seek to cooperate with his teammates. When he saw Vardy's running position, he quickly sent a kick pass from the wing.

When Vardy touched the ball in the penalty area and wanted to smash the ball past Cahill, the latter took the lead in getting stuck and using physical confrontation to complete the steal!

Liverpool's first attack failed to break through.

Chelsea turned around and quickly launched a fast break. Fabregas sent the ball diagonally from the front of the penalty area to the right of the midfield.

As soon as Oscar touched the ball, he was pressed by Kanter.

When Chelsea's three midfielders stayed in the backcourt and the counterattack position was not ideal, Liverpool's midfield interception core Kanter's activities were relatively free.

Oscar barely knocked the ball back in the middle to find Ramirez. Under the pressure of Eriksen's counter-attack, Ramirez passed the ball to Hazard too clearly. Azpilicueta took the lead to grab the ball Stabbed forward.

Mahrez, who retreated to respond, suddenly made a long diagonal pass over the top at the moment of touching the ball, which is quite eye-catching!

Situ Yunbing was a little surprised.

If Gareth Bale understands this ball, there is indeed room for Chelsea's defense to take advantage of it in a short period of time.

But Gareth Bell didn't have a good understanding with him after all, and it was too late to see the ball and move again.

But he still ran, and when he was two meters away from where the football landed, he could only watch the football bounce off the ground and fly out of the baseline.

"Mahrez's side of the foot is very imaginative for the over-the-top pass in the middle, but Gareth Bale is slow to start. Chelsea needs to be more vigilant in the defense and improve the quality of counterattacks at the same time!"

Mourinho looked calm and did not show any worry about the situation on the field. Chelsea's overall defense was in good condition from the opening stage.

He is watching to see how capable Liverpool is!

Chelsea's offense was relatively simple. Matic played the ball from midfield to Fabregas who advanced forward, and the latter sent a direct pass to center Costa.

When Costa touched the ball, Koulibaly rushed up to close him, and Costa kicked the ball back diagonally to Hazard.

Hazard stroking the ball quickly and facing Azpilicueta suddenly turned the ball and turned to the inside track. At this time, Kanter blocked him. Hazard calmly passed the ball across the penalty area. right strip.

When Oscar cut inside and wanted to shoot, Robertson returned to the middle to press down. Oscar forced a kick to shoot, but Robertson touched the ball and bounced it out of the baseline.

Situ Yunbing glanced at Mourinho, who made a helpless expression at him, and a wry smile rose from the corner of Situ Yunbing's mouth.

Basically, Liverpool's opponents this season are mainly attacking wildly, while Chelsea is not as crazy as Liverpool's investment in offense, but it is also very balanced. Only after taking the lead, the posture becomes slightly conservative, hoping to catch the opponent in order to equalize The aggressiveness of the score played a counterattack advantage.

After the two teams met, neither Mourinho nor Situ Yunbing was willing to give the opponent room to counterattack, so that the opponent's counterattack advantage could not be brought into play.

This is completely different from last season when they met in the first leg of the Champions League final. At that time, Chelsea defended with all their troops and Liverpool bombarded with extreme pressure.

Mourinho led a lame blue team last season, while Situ Yunbing's red team was in full swing.

Now the situation of the two teams is just the opposite. Situ Yun's clever women can hardly cook without rice, while Mourinho has a powerful army in his hands.

But if the two teams are so afraid of each other in this game, and they are extremely restrained on the offensive end, they will either depend on the individual performance of the superstars, or they can really only rely on luck to see if there will be some accidents that will change the situation on the court. The situation was stalemate from the beginning.

Liverpool's strongest technique and tactics this season is to use defense to create offensive opportunities and take advantage of the strong defensive strength in the midfield. However, facing Chelsea, which is good at defense, it is difficult to use this style of play to give full play to its advantages.

Moreover, in terms of player configuration, the weakening of the offensive impact is also one of the main reasons.

The two teams attack and defend on the field, you come and go, the midfielders are more stealthy, Matic prevents Eriksson from playing in the front of the penalty area, and Kanter is killing Hazard's threat.

In the 19th minute of the game, when Diego Costa received a pass from Ramirez in the frontcourt, he fought with Coulibaly. As a result, Coulibaly poked the ball out of the sideline first. There was a small move to push Coulibaly, which made Coulibaly almost fall to the ground.

After standing still, Coulibaly turned around and looked at Costa. He didn't go forward to argue with Costa, but stared at Costa with a bit of playfulness in his fierce eyes.

Costa's expression changed strangely after seeing it, and then retreated silently.

Three minutes later, when Mahrez was intercepted by Felipe Luis on the right side of the front court, Luis directly cleared the siege.

When Costa went to fight for the header, Coulibaly also took off to fight, and the impact of the jump was obviously directed at Costa's body. Costa was knocked off balance in mid-air and fell to the ground!

The referee came over to warn Koulibaly and awarded Chelsea a free kick.

Koulibaly spread his hands to the referee and said that he was going for the ball, and then bent down to show his favor to Costa. , said a word to Costa.

"Do you remember? If not, I can help you recall memories!"

Costa swallowed hard, and looked at Coulibaly who was staring at him with a meaningful expression while retreating. Of course he knew what Coulibaly meant!

Who caused Costa's injury at the end of last season?

Coulibaly!

Thinking of the injury, Costa knew that he might not even think about making small moves in front of Liverpool's defense today. Otherwise, he would not know what others said, but Koulibaly would definitely not let him go!
