Six Hundred and Seventieth Chapters: Beasts Become Cats

At Anfield, the grand strategy of Liverpool and Chelsea is dull.

Both teams are deliberately restricting their opponents, and it is also a process of testing.

When the trial period passed, Mourinho believed that Liverpool's offensive firepower had dropped a lot compared to the previous match, so he decisively asked the team to increase their aggressiveness in offense!

In the 25th minute of the game, Felipe Luis assisted to the frontcourt to receive Matic's pass, and then created space for Hazard to cut in when the ball went down. Luiz's pass, Hazard quickly crossed the ball diagonally to Diego Costa before Kante and Van Dijk double-teamed him.

This time, Costa hesitated a little after receiving the ball with his back, and Coulibaly destroyed the ball.

Mourinho frowned when he saw this scene on the sidelines.

It gave him the first impression that Costa was distracted by something.

But also not sure.

Costa is too vigilant, he is worried that he will be violated by Louis!

Compared to a normal confrontation, Costa knew that if Coulibaly wanted to violate him, he would have to be sent directly to a stretcher!

This is fundamentally different from a reasonable collision, and the vigilance of the unknown will naturally distract him.

Liverpool suddenly launched a fast break. Gareth Bale retreated from the left to respond in a wide range. Sen Shi lost his position and came back in a hurry to intercept Gareth Bell, but Eriksson was already on the left. Gareth Bell passed the ball diagonally back to the left and then quickly went straight forward.

His forward penetration was very eye-catching, and Chelsea's defense in the center immediately approached him to compress his play space. Eriksson kicked a cross from the side and hoisted the ball to the back of the penalty area!

Terry and Cahill were startled!

Due to Gareth Bale's forward drive, Vardy pulled back to the back of the penalty area, and they missed someone!

Vardy headed the goal directly against the falling football, a godsend opportunity!

When the football he ejected flew to the upper right corner of the goal, at the critical moment, Courtois seemed like a divine soldier descended from heaven, leaped forward with one palm and raised the ball above the crossbar!

The Red Army fans immediately sighed in disappointment,

Immediately gave Vardy another round of applause.

"Vardy's header almost opened the scoring for Liverpool!

Courtois' save was amazing!

He sealed off all theoretical dead ends!

Chelsea strengthened the third line in the summer, and the most important signing on the defense line is Courtois! "

Situ Yunbing was somewhat disappointed. In the game against Chelsea, Liverpool could not get a lot of opportunities, so if you miss one, you will lose one!

Mourinho's expression was concentrated, and he gestured to his disciples, telling them to be more flexible in defense!

Like Gareth Bale, who cuts into the center from the wing out of common sense, disrupting Chelsea's defense is what they need to be most vigilant about.

Because of the conventional static offense and defense, Chelsea's defense will basically not expose any flaws if the players do not lose their positions!

Four minutes later, when Oscar received a pass from Cesc Fabregas on the right side of the front field, he pretended to knock the ball back to Ramirez who followed up in the middle. When Robertson stepped forward to block, he stepped forward Pull the ball to change direction, fake fax!

After waving the ball to the bottom, Oscar quickly passed the ball!

The route of this ball is not in the penalty area, but the front left of the penalty area.

Liverpool's defense retreated and failed to clear the siege in the first place, while Hazard stopped the ball in the inside cut and faced Casemiro's counter-stealing fast dial to get rid of it, followed by a strong shot!

This half-high ball flew straight to the lower left of the center of the goal, which was extremely threatening!

Ter Stegen rushed out and held the ball in his arms with both hands!

Anfield echoed with applause and cheers from Liverpool fans!

Ter Stegen stood up with a calm expression on his face.

"Hazard's shot did not test Ter Stegen, maybe it would be better if the angle was more tricky!"

Situ Yunbing looked thoughtful. When the game fell into a stalemate, he would always consider whether to make some designs and changes in tactical details.

Chelsea's defense is flat and stable, and there is no good breakthrough for the time being, but it is always right for Liverpool to try.

So he gestured to the team to let Mahrez move to the center, and Eriksson's position was also biased to the left.

Unilaterally attack Ivanovic and give Gareth Bell as much support as possible.

The most reliable striker right now is really Gareth Bell.

In the 32nd minute of the game, Gareth Bale faced the pincer attack of Fabregas and Ivanovic after responding from the left. He picked the ball forward because he saw Eriksson's diagonal forward.

Matic immediately followed the defense and went to the wing, but Eriksson knocked the ball diagonally back to the front of the penalty area after stopping the ball.

In the densely populated area, Mahrez touched the ball first, because there was no passing line, so he shot directly!

The ball hit Terry's leg and bounced off the baseline.

Mourinho continued to emphasize on the sidelines that the defense should change from static to more active!

Only in this way can Chelsea keep up with the changes Liverpool are constantly trying in attack.

In the 37th minute of the game, when Ivanovic cleared the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt, Costa was forced from behind by Coulibaly and lost his position when he was fighting for the football. After the siege, Costa did not make any obvious resistance or confrontation from the beginning to the end.

This made Mourinho look gloomy.

He turned around and went to the coaching bench and spread his hands to his coaching team and complained: "What is Diego doing? Is he asleep? I can't see his fighting spirit, I can't see his bestiality, what a ghost !"

As Mourinho's most trusted assistant coach, Faria looked up at Mourinho with his chin and said: "Maybe it's because he is afraid of Coulibaly."

Mourinho was even more furious, saying: "Just kidding, he can be afraid of Van Dijk, but he can't be afraid of Coulibaly! No, he can't be afraid of anyone!"

Faria said embarrassingly: "Last season, he was directly put off by Koulibaly in the Champions League match between Atletico Madrid and Liverpool!"

Mourinho was stunned for a moment, but he forgot about it. After all, he didn't care much about the Champions League at that time. He knew the progress of the game, but he didn't take it to heart.

Now he finally knew what was going on!

Is this kind of thing common?

Not common, but not uncommon!

How many players in the Premier League were afraid of Manchester United captain Keane? How many people swallowed their anger in front of Vieira? There are also players who dare not even fart in front of Savage.

But the current situation is difficult for Mourinho to accept even if he understands it.

The role he wants Costa to play is to disrupt the opponent's defense!

He can be a tiger, a lion, or a lone wolf, but he cannot be a docile kitten!

Mourinho walked back to the sidelines, pointed at Costa, and after attracting Costa's attention, he punched his left palm hard, with an extremely majestic and sharp expression.

Costa also knew that the coach was dissatisfied with him. He tried his best to let himself get rid of distracting thoughts, but it was too difficult!

In the 42nd minute of the game, when Costa made a mistake in stopping the ball under Coulibaly's blockade, and then was intercepted by Casemiro, Mourinho was furious on the sidelines!

Mourinho slapped the ceiling of the bench with a cold face.

Situ Yunbing didn't expect that after Koulibaly played today, he would perfectly freeze Costa on Chelsea's striker!

This is definitely an unexpected situation.

Of course, if Costa made some outrageous moves, Situ Yunbing would definitely order the players to teach him a lesson.

Just play football well, if you want to play dirty, then I'll come straight to the ruthless!

Liverpool quickly launched a fast break after stealing the ball this time, and Casemiro passed the ball straight from the backcourt to the frontcourt.

Mahrez kicked the ball forward and formed a pass and cut cooperation with Eriksson. After breaking through Ramirez's defense, Fabregas went to mark Eriksson, and Matic stepped forward to intercept Maher Reis, but unexpectedly Mahrez passed the ball obliquely behind Fabregas. After the ball, Mahrez quickly inserted into the right side of the penalty area.

Fabregas pressed Eriksson closely, thinking that he was safe, even if Vardy retreated to respond, he would definitely not be able to make waves in front of Terry and Cahill.

But what was unexpected was that after he turned around, it was Gareth Bale who caught sight of Gareth Bale crossing from the wing early to the center in front of the penalty area.

Terry immediately grabbed the ball, and Gareth Bell sent the ball obliquely to the right rib of the penalty area like a superficial touch!

Cahill's defensive attention was on Vardy. At this time, Mahrez's advance made him quickly abandon Vardy and rush to block!

But Mahrez pushed the ball with his left foot without making any adjustments after the ball rolled, trying to hit a far corner!

The football rolled to the lower left corner of the goal, and the goalkeeper Courtois flew towards the left post, rushed out hastily and blocked the ball with a single palm!

All the fans of the Red Army couldn't help holding their heads and feeling extremely sorry, but the next scene made them excited and crazy again!

After Gareth Bale went forward, he could respond to Mahrez's pass, and he could also make a two-point supplementary shot.

Even though Terry turned and chased at the first time, he was still slow after all!

Terry, who is nearly 34 years old, has also come to the end of his career!

When Courtois bravely blocked the ball, Gareth Bale adjusted the direction of his running and then directly picked the ball with his left foot towards Chelsea's goal!

Courtois lay on the ground and tried to get up and raise his hand to block, but the football flew over his head, and he couldn't touch the football at all!

The moment the football flew into the goal, the Anfield stadium burst into deafening cheers!

Liverpool broke the deadlock before the end of the first half!
