Six Hundred and Seventy Seventh Veterans Do Not Die
Gareth Bell rushed to the sidelines to celebrate wildly!
The Red Army fans also cheered for him excitedly!
Situ Yunbing also ran two steps very excitedly, jumped up and punched the air!
"Gareth Bale scored! Liverpool scored first at home!
After strengthening the offensive, Chelsea conceded the ball instead!
Mourinho's center Costa's performance in the past 20 minutes was very flat, even a bit bad!
I think this is unacceptable to Mourinho, he had already expressed his dissatisfaction with Costa on the sidelines before that!
In such a critical game, if Costa cannot play a role, it will definitely be a heavy blow to Chelsea!
Liverpool's scoring method still uses fast break and small-scale team cooperation to the extreme!
Mahrez's shot was already extremely threatening, but Courtois' save denied his goal, but it still couldn't stop Gareth Bale's supplementary shot!
Terry is old, and if Chelsea want to become stronger in the next stage, they must find a suitable partner for Cahill. I don't know if they will miss the sold David Luiz.
I think the remaining minutes of the first half, Chelsea may not be able to equalize the score, we will only have to see how they will perform in the second half. "
Situ Yunbing clapped and applauded on the sidelines after celebrating. At least today, Liverpool still showed him very positive elements in some aspects.
For example, Coulibaly's restrictions on Costa, such as Gareth Bale's initiative to change under the stalemate!
Now that the score has been rewritten, they need to strengthen their defense to survive the last few minutes of the first half.
Chelsea launched a wave of offense after the kick-off, but Hazard's forced breakthrough was intercepted by Van Dijk.
Liverpool's fast break was also successfully defended by Chelsea.
At the end of the first half, Mourinho walked towards the player channel with a gloomy expression.
Judging from the scene, Chelsea is not weaker than Liverpool, although in the coordination of positional battles,
They are obviously not as delicate as Liverpool, but they are not at a disadvantage. The key point is that Costa's performance determines that Chelsea's offensive quality is very low!
One hundred secrets and one sparse!
Mourinho was very unwilling, if he was inferior to others, he would admit it!
But if he loses due to an accident that he didn't consider or happened, he can't accept it no matter what!
Situ Yunbing returned to the locker room to deploy the team's tactics in the second half. Since Chelsea were behind by 3 points, if they win the game today, Liverpool will tie Chelsea in points!
The result is greater than the process is what Liverpool needs most at this stage.
So he developed a tactic that required the team to adopt defensive counterattack tactics in the second half.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
Even though Chelsea fell behind, they did not go all out to launch a strong attack.
Mourinho still needs to observe the situation and look at Liverpool's posture. When playing against a master, one cannot take it lightly for a moment.
When Liverpool obviously strengthened their defense and took a defensive counterattack, Mourinho's face was cloudy and uncertain. This is the worst situation.
Chelsea's offensive has become more patient, Fabregas's role has been brought into full play, frequently mobilizing the organizational offensive, but Liverpool's counterattack has not been very effective.
Eriksson tends to connect more directly with Mahrez after retracing, because Gareth Bale must be marked by Chelsea's key defense.
However, Mahrez was under a lot of pressure when connecting the offensive, and Chelsea also became extremely active in defense because of their active offense.
This makes it often difficult for Liverpool's counterattacks to create good opportunities for Vardy or Gareth Bale.
The situation has become a bit stalemate again.
Situ Yunbing looked calm, and he felt quite helpless about the current situation on the court.
If Liverpool has Coutinho or a Lewandowski who is above the standard line, then Liverpool's counterattack will definitely be more threatening.
Because Lewandowski can act as a fulcrum, Coutinho's offensive creativity is also more threatening!
Hazard played very well under the restrictions of Kanter today, at least he was able to connect the offense well, but Costa's performance was disappointing.
In the 59th minute of the game, when Costa shot the ball almost out of anger in front of the penalty area, Mourinho himself ordered a substitution!
Veteran Drogba debut!
Costa walked off the field with his head down. Since Coulibaly knocked him out of the air in this game, his state has been declining a little bit!
After replacing Drogba, Mourinho also changed his style of play.
Ramirez retreated, Fabregas moved forward, and Matic moved forward, increasing the mobility of the backcourt defense and enhancing the control and confrontation capabilities of the midfield and frontcourt!
Situ Yunbing looked at the bench, but he didn't have a suitable replacement.
In fact, the reason why Lewandowski did not play today has a lot to do with his pre-match state, which is not very ideal.
Against such a fierce competition, Situ Yunbing is not willing to take Lewandowski's risk.
Sane's performance some time ago also made Situ Yunbing somewhat lack of confidence in him. The only thing that can be considered is Gerrard.
Situ Yunbing planned to see the development of the situation first, and then consider whether to play Gerrard's card.
Chelsea's style of play became more straightforward after the substitution.
In the 64th minute of the game, Oscar made a pass from the right. Although Drogba did not compete for the header, Van Dijk's header was cleared by Matic who took the lead to control the ball outside the penalty area.
Mourinho's tactical adjustments are enough to show his profound skills.
Drogba's debut will inevitably strengthen the punching style of play, which will bring about frequent clearances by Liverpool, and Matic will use his physical confrontation ability to control the two points.
Interlocking.
When Hazard kicked a shot from the left side of the penalty area and was successfully saved by Ter Stegen, Liverpool quickly launched a fast break.
Gareth Bell quickly retreated after not getting a chance for a long time on the left, but this time he also encountered Ramirez and Ivanovic after the response. Instead of advancing, he dunked The ball turned and dribbled back to Casemiro, who then passed the ball diagonally to Mahrez.
Felipe Luis immediately grabbed the ball, and Mahrez moved the ball flexibly to complete the escape, and then directly sent a scalpel-like through ball.
Vardy quickly advanced and succeeded in anti-offside. This is Liverpool's best opportunity since the second half of the war!
All eyes are on and all Reds fans are looking forward to this opportunity.
Vardy hit the ball in the penalty area and took a shot. Courtois made a cautious attack and flew directly to save the ball with a single palm to block the ball out of the bottom line!
Situ Yunbing couldn't help covering his face with his hands on the sidelines and felt very sorry!
"World class save from Courtois saves Chelsea! Vardy misses the single!
If this goal is scored, Liverpool will basically win the game!
But his shot was denied by Courtois! "
Mourinho was relieved, and then made another substitution decision!
Terry off, William on!
It is not enough to rely on Hazard's impact to advance the offense, he is now going to put all his eggs in one basket!
If Costa's state is even at a qualified level, Mourinho will not replace him, but replace Oscar, but now he can only go so far to see if the team can create a greater threat.
Mourinho took the initiative to weaken the defense, which is enough to show that he is going to fight Liverpool!
Situ Yunbing also substituted at the same time, Gerrard came on the stage and replaced Vardy.
It is not only a performance of strengthening the defense, but also a change in the way the team counterattacks.
Gareth Bell was at the forefront and seized the opportunity to reverse offside.
Whether it is Mahrez, or Gerrard or Eriksson, they all have the ability of precision guidance.
Now let's see who can seize the opportunity between Chelsea and Liverpool!
In the 71st minute of the game, Eriksson passed the ball to Gerrard from the midfielder. Although the latter's over-the-top ball was well placed, Gareth Bale still failed to control the ball in the first place. The football was confiscated by Courtois after it bounced again.
Mourinho clapped his hands on the sidelines to boost the morale of the team, and Situ Yunbing also waved his hands, telling the team not to take it lightly in defense!
In the 75th minute of the game, Drogba took the initiative to retreat in the frontcourt to meet the pass from Fabregas, and sent the ball to Hazard with a diagonal pass. point.
Oscar cut inside to grab the point, and Robertson took the lead to clear the ball.
Ramirez sent the ball to William's feet in the middle circle. After possession of the ball, William quickly went down the right and passed the ball.
Didier Drogba jumped up quickly and shook his head to attack the goal. As a result, the ball missed the goal and went out of the baseline.
In the 82nd minute of the game, Gerrard made a diagonal pass from the backcourt to find Mahrez who was running from the side of the frontcourt.
Gareth Bale swung the ball into the Chelsea box ahead of Cahill, but Courtois had plenty of time to attack as he waded too far in order to get rid of Cahill. - Bale could only barely shoot when he touched the ball again. This shot was blocked by Courtois and went out of the baseline.
The cheers at Anfield are overwhelming!
Liverpool still lead Chelsea 1:0!
Just as Situ Yunbing gestured to the team to shrink the defense and further stabilize the defense, Chelsea suddenly launched a long pass offensive!
When Ivanovic made a long pass from the side of the backcourt to the middle of the frontcourt, Drogba quickly retreated to respond, and Coulibaly immediately followed. Perhaps this game restrained Costa well , This made Coulibaly full of confidence!
Drogba suddenly stopped to confront him physically, and Coulibaly immediately pressed against Drogba's body with force, but he almost fell forward when he exerted force, because Drogba suddenly withdrew his force and then turned and charged forward!
Coulibaly wanted to clear the siege with a header again, but he took off too late!
This is Drogba beating Coulibaly in experience!
