Four Hundred and Seventy-Six Where Is Your Hero?
After Liverpool's two-goal lead in the Premier League red and blue battle, the atmosphere at Stamford Bridge began to go to another extreme.
Chelsea has performed well since the beginning of the new season. At the end of the 8 league rounds, they had an unbeaten record of 7 wins and 1 draw. However, after the last two rounds, after adding a record of 1 draw and 1 loss, the honeymoon period between Rodgers and Chelsea has entered a dangerous end stage.
The real test of whether Rodgers can lead Chelsea to the fore in the championship is the civil war among these giants!
After the restart, Chelsea had visibly stepped up their defense and captain John Terry lashed out at the midfield after the second goal was conceded for allowing Liverpool too easily through midfield!
Situ Yunbing was calm and relaxed, watching Chelsea's formation shrink slightly, relying more on three-person cooperation and individual breakthroughs in the offense, and the offensive pattern became narrower and narrower. Even after taking the initiative to retreat, they still maintained the main attacking posture. This is the difference in football philosophy and thinking.
Patience is often a very important factor in dealing with the game, but it is a pity that Chelsea are missing this trait now.
In the 30th minute of the game, when Sterling was intercepted by Ramirez in the frontcourt, Chelsea’s fast break was a bit disappointing. After the ball was transferred to Hazard’s feet, I saw him dodge and move quickly and repeatedly stop and change directions from the left side of the frontcourt all the way to the right side of the midfield.
In the end, Hazard managed to pass the ball to Oscar under the siege of Casemiro and Gerrard. Oscar made a breakthrough to Agger from the wing to the penalty area. Agger, who played as a full-back as a central defender, was still very unfamiliar with his defensive position.
But it's not a big problem. Oscar's pass to Torres was in the right side of the penalty area. There was almost no angle. Torres volleyed the ball from almost zero angle and hit the ball on the side net of the goal!
Torres himself felt a little disappointed, and one can imagine the mood of Chelsea fans.
Situ Yunbing took the initiative to adjust his tactical posture on the sidelines, so that the team's counterattack should not be too aggressive!
Chelsea tried to maintain control in the midfield. If Liverpool invested too much in the counterattack, it would be easy to be caught off guard by the opponent's sudden counterattack!
The key is timing.
Suarez tries a long-range shot in the frontcourt,
Cech played steadily and hugged the ball without causing any accidents.
The two teams had a restrained tug-of-war for nearly 10 minutes.
Rodgers also seems to have come out of the blow of conceding consecutive goals. He stared at the field and didn't know what he was thinking. Perhaps he was extremely eager to prove himself by defeating Situ Yunbing, but the situation in front of him was very frustrating. Liverpool gave him the feeling of being monolithic and impenetrable!
Situ Yunbing strives for every point as much as possible in the league. This persistence alone is enough for only a few coaches in the top league.
Many teams start to drift after winning a few games, and then they are beaten back to their original shape or directly fell into a trough, and this situation has never happened to Situ Yunbing's team in the past four years or so!
If Situ Yunbing wanted to get points from his team, if Situ Yunbing played the best cards in his hands, the opponent would have to go through a lot of trouble!
Win the points that can be won, and try to keep even 1 point as much as possible. This has been fully reflected in his coaching career in the past few years!
Will Rogers have such a realization?
Do you comfort yourself and start over after admitting your failure, or do you fight to the death in the face of adversity?
Before the end of the first half, Rogers gestured to the team, calling on the team to step up their offensive and try to get a goal back before the intermission!
Chelsea quickly improved the rhythm and invested more offensive players in the frontcourt!
But here comes the problem!
After Liverpool consciously shrunk the defense, Mata pulled the ball to get rid of Gerrard when he received a pass from Ramirez in the frontcourt, but then Lucas's grab caught Mata by surprise!
After Lucas steals the ball, he quickly passes the ball diagonally to the right of the midfielder.
Sterling started at full speed when Ramirez came in to help defend, and Ramirez was a step too late and failed to cause interference!
Sterling moved forward quickly, Suarez and Gareth Bale also followed up quickly at the same time, and Chelsea's defensive players retreated in a hurry and seemed a little flustered!
When Sterling came to the dangerous zone of attack, he did not wait for Bertrand to grab the ball and passed the ball diagonally in front of the penalty area.
Suarez met the ball in front of Cahill and suddenly shot!
He just wanted to catch Cech by surprise with this ball!
The football flew straight to the center of the goal like a cannonball, to the lower left, and the angle was not tricky.
Petr Cech was also adjusting his position, when he suddenly saw the flying football, he subconsciously rushed out and stretched out his hand to block it!
The football was blocked by him!
The Blues fans in the stands just breathed a sigh of relief, but what happened next left them stunned!
I saw the blocked football rolling on the left side of the penalty area. Gareth Bale rushed to the ball before Terry and shot angrily!
The football flew towards Chelsea's goal again, this time towards the top right corner!
Cech is powerless!
The goal was extremely crisp and neat!
Terry helplessly raised his hand and looked in the direction of the line referee, trying to protest Gareth Bale's offside, but the line referee did not respond.
Gareth Bale laughed and ran to the visiting team fans to celebrate, and the Liverpool fans also cheered wildly!
Situ Yunbing spread his arms proudly on the sidelines.
The green field needs heroes, and my hero is on the field. What about Chelsea?
"Gareth Bale scored with a supplementary shot! Another victory for Liverpool! This score can almost be said to seal the victory for the Red Army!
Chelsea was once again pierced by Liverpool's counterattack!
This is really an amazing phenomenon. We must know that Hamburg, which is recognized as the strongest firepower in Europe last season, only beat Chelsea by 20 in the Champions League final, but Chelsea was attacked at home today.
This is easily reminiscent of their loss to Manchester United at Stamford Bridge two weeks ago!
In the past, Chelsea has always given people the impression of tight defense, steel-like fighting spirit, and a role that every opponent has a headache for.
But now they have become more delicate and more technical, but they have lost the toughness of the past!
The situation of falling behind by three goals will inevitably make every Chelsea person feel embarrassed and helpless! "
Rogers no longer knows what attitude to use to face this game!
Situ Yunbing's team beat his team so much that it lost its dignity!
Situ Yunbing was still hoping that Rogers would be able to break the boat!
Once Chelsea breaks the boat, Liverpool may have the opportunity to create another massacre!
I don't know if Chelsea has the guts!
The Blues fans in the Stamford Bridge stands could no longer boo and insult Situ Yunbing, it was more like self-inflicted humiliation.
Football speaks with strength, Chelsea can't hold up its head in front of Liverpool today!
Chelsea generals also need to take a break and think about how to face the second half of the game.
After the first half of the game, Situ Yunbing walked into the player tunnel calmly.
In the locker room, he praised the team's performance in the first half, and there was nothing to change in terms of specific tactics.
Chelsea is doing nothing under their dense defense for the time being!
Rogers may have set his sights on the overall situation, but his weaknesses were exposed in the polishing of details and targeted deployment!
The whole world knows that Liverpool's main players at the two full-back positions are injured. If you want to make a fuss, you must aim at this point, but Chelsea didn't take advantage of this too much, which is enough to show that Rogers still didn't do his job well before the game.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Chelsea was a little timid. Ramires and Mikel were only half-time, and the two full-backs did not dare to leave their posts without authorization.
Chelsea's offense could only be tossed around on the periphery, and then ended the offensive with a long shot. Ter Stegen's steady performance did not give Chelsea any chance.
After playing like this for nearly 15 minutes, Chelsea's attacking group was naturally a little frustrated, as if they had fallen into a very difficult situation and were exhausted physically and mentally.
Situ Yunbing looked at the right time to make the team play more aggressively!
The ebb and flow of morale has become another inflection point factor in the game situation.
In the 63rd minute of the game, Liverpool attacked from the right side of the front court. Sterling broke through Bertrand on the right side and then passed the ball.
Terry and Suarez got entangled and made a powerful header to clear the siege.
The football flying outside the penalty area was first controlled by Gareth Bale.
Mikel and Mata immediately rushed to counter-rob Gareth Bale, and Ivanovic also came up to form a flank.
Gareth Bale calmly passes the ball across the middle of the penalty area.
Gerrard quickly plugged in to stop the ball and adjusted a step, then blasted a heavy artillery!
The football flew towards the near corner of the goal and Petr Cech almost magically staged a world-class save, but he could barely block the ball!
When the football bounced in the penalty area, Cahill was just about to make a clearance, but he saw Sterling rushing out from behind him. Sterling used his chest to move the ball forward. Cahill originally wanted to wait for the football to fall, but he was caught by Sterling in less than a second!
Sterling quickly kicked and pushed the ball before it hit the ground!
The football flew to the far corner of the goal, and it was another shot that Cech could only look at the ball and sigh!
When the football rolled into Chelsea's goal, Sterling ran to celebrate ecstatically. For the 18-year-old Red Army rookie, scoring two goals for Chelsea in a single game was something he never dared to think about before!
