Five Hundred and Ninety-Nine Ideals Are Full, but Reality Is Skinny
The overall rhythm of the Stamford Bridge battle was obviously slow after the start of the game.
The state of Liverpool is clear at a glance. The players are not as sharp and agile as before in terms of passing, receiving and controlling the ball, and the acceleration and start are also a little difficult. There are very few threats created.
On Chelsea's side, there is a stable defense in the midfield and a partial force in the midfield.
Eto'o is looking for opportunities with Hazard and Oscar-based breakthroughs from the wing and William's breakthrough.
Hazard insists that Flanagan is most likely to be sure, so Liverpool need Henderson to help defend the wing to ensure that the defense line does not cause major disturbances. Liverpool, which seems to have played a defensive formation with three midfielders, is actually defensive. The pattern is not so strict, because Henderson and Eriksson both need to help defend the wing, and the space left in the center will be relatively large.
Fortunately, Chelsea's one-man rushing style of play is also very effective. The game is stalemate. No one can do anything about the opponent, and no one will take the initiative to speed up.
Most of the coaches of the two teams directing the game from the sidelines just reminded the players not to lose their positions in defense.
Or remind players to cheer up and be tough after a failed tackle.
The cheers at Stamford Bridge were deafening, but the players of the two teams on the field failed to bring the fans a thrilling battle, which was more than intense but not exciting enough.
The FA "preferentially treated" Liverpool in the Champions League group stage in terms of schedule arrangement, but it was very unfriendly to Liverpool during the Devil's schedule. The schedule of consecutive visits to Manchester City and Liverpool must be well known in advance. I am afraid this is also to balance the demands of other giants. , so as not to give someone a handle and privately give and receive with Liverpool.
In the two away games within 48 hours, Liverpool had to choose one of the two. Situ Yunbing chose the former. Then when he came to the Stamford Bridge, he would obediently play defensive counterattacks. No matter how high the requirements are and the pursuit is farther, we cannot ignore the serious consequences of using up the team in this festive atmosphere.
They're players, they're fighters, but until then, they're still human.
Today Suarez is in a better state than Gareth Bell. Like Gareth Bell, a player who relies on speed and physical state for food, or the basic physical state of his stability will account for a greater factor. Today His performance was a bit uninspired.
It was the first time in a year and a half that I saw him struggle so much in a game. Even when no one was close to press, it was very awkward to watch him control the ball as if he was fighting against something.
Suarez still has a better feeling of passing and receiving the ball. After all, he has stronger technical ability, but when his teammates are in a sluggish state, he seems to be alone.
Hazard was the most threatening Chelsea in the first half, but the threat Hazard created outside the penalty area was not enough to penetrate Liverpool's goal, but his development into the penalty area always ended without a problem. The team composed of Van Dijk and Benatia The defensive line performed very well today.
After the dull first half of the game ended, Situ Yunbing walked into the player tunnel with a heavy heart.
After returning to the locker room, he decided to make a substitution. Instead of keeping Gareth Bale struggling on the court, he might as well replace Sterling to try his luck.
That's right, in this level of battle, replacing Sterling is just a matter of luck. If Situ Yunbing wants to pin his hopes on him, how helpless and desperate must he be?
After the intermission, Liverpool took the lead in making substitutions at the beginning of the second half.
It is true that Sterling performed much better than Gareth Bale after he came on the field. He broke through in several counterattacks, cut inside, responded, and crossed well. However, Suarez still had difficulty with him under strict marking. Form contact interaction.
Chelsea still insisted on playing in the first half, and the effect was still average.
Both Situ Yunbing and Mourinho were pacing on the sidelines. When they inadvertently walked to the edge of the command area close to each other,
The two suddenly looked at each other, both showing a somewhat helpless look.
Liverpool is a body with exhausted oil and lamps, and they really want to kill thieves but can't bring them back to heaven!
Chelsea is dragging an old body and a stubborn soul, with a plump ideal, but facing a skinny reality.
When the game time passed by every minute and every second, and the two teams did not create much threat, the fans also thought that the game had a high probability of ending peacefully. In the 80th minute of the game, Hazard broke through from the left side of the front court and then turned Into the cross-cutting track, Flanagan and Henderson chased and intercepted him. Hazard, who had just entered the penalty area, suddenly turned the ball to the outside of the penalty area. Henderson stretched his legs to press and missed the ball. Ahzard Zall fell heavily in the penalty area.
Henderson angrily reprimanded Hazard for diving, but the referee has already pointed to a penalty.
Situ Yunbing frowned with some headache.
This penalty came at the wrong time, it was too late in time!
It depends on whether Chelsea can score.
Veteran Lampard took the penalty kick overnight, and Ter Stegen made the save in the wrong direction!
The moment the football flew into Liverpool's goal, there were deafening cheers at Stamford Bridge!
The Blues fans were extraordinarily excited.
"Eden Hazard scored, Lampard scored! Finally a goal in this dull game, the home team Chelsea is now ahead of Liverpool!
Will Liverpool, unbeaten in 18 rounds of the league this season, be broken today?
There is not much time left for Liverpool to equalize the score! "
Situ Yunbing used up two substitutions at one time, Vardy and Coutinho appeared on the stage, trying to make the last fight!
Mourinho also made substitutions to strengthen defense, defense, defense!
The pace of the game began to speed up due to the change in the score, but Liverpool's counterattack was a bit ugly, and the success rate of passing and receiving the ball was still not high. Chelsea also almost gave up the counterattack and defended with all their strength!
It's really Mourinho's style.
Give him the chance to grab the 3 and he'll do anything to make the win a reality.
In the end, Liverpool failed to rewrite the score and reaped the second defeat of the season and the first defeat in the Premier League!
At the end of the game, there were wild cheers at Stamford Bridge!
Regardless of whether Mourinho's performance after his return is good or bad, at least he led the team to beat Liverpool, which is enough to make Chelsea fans ecstatic!
After the game, Situ Yunbing still took the initiative to go to Mourinho for a handshake after the game.
After shaking hands, the two briefly exchanged a few words and then left.
In an interview after the game, Situ Yunbing was very calm and restrained in the face of this defeat.
"To be honest, Liverpool did not perform well today, but I will not delve into this game. Objective factors determine that it is really difficult for us to perform better today. The team needs to rest. We will rotate in the next round of the league. If Liverpool fans are upset because of these two league defeats, so please accept my apology and I hope everyone in Liverpool has a merry Christmas.
We'll get back on the winning track as quickly as possible. "
Mourinho was also very calm about the victory in the interview after the game.
"Although we won the game, we are still 8 points behind Liverpool. This is a big gap, but the good news is that we have chased by 5 points in two league rounds. This victory will bring the team to a certain extent. Motivation and morale up, but we still have a tough season ahead."
In the same round of the league, Manchester United, Manchester City, and Arsenal all won. In other words, among the traditional Premier League powerhouses, only Liverpool lost on the road, and the other strong teams took all three points!
The half-season of the Premier League is over, and Liverpool's half-time ending is not perfect, but they are still the leaders in the standings.
Liverpool, 48 points.
Chelsea, 40 points.
Manchester City, 39 points.
Arsenal, 39 points.
…
The devil's schedule is not over yet, with a three-day truce, Liverpool will face Hull City on New Year's Day.
The FA's fine for Situ Yunbing was announced on the morning of the 29th and faxed to Liverpool FC.
A fine of £30,000 and a one-match ban.
The second half of the league was in full swing. On January 1, 2014, Liverpool played against Hull City at home.
Situ Yunbing appeared in the box to watch the game. Before the game, Liverpool fans displayed dense slogans in the stands to support him.
The most eye-catching line is "You never need to apologize, we love you!"
As the coach, Situ Yunbing overlooked the stadium in the box, expecting his disciples to bring the team a victory against the background of two rounds of invincibility.
Liverpool made a rotation today.
Coutinho, Vardy and Sterling form the trident.
Henderson, Casemiro and Eriksson form the midfield.
Azpilicueta lifted the ban and came back, Coulibaly and Skrtel formed a double back line, and Robertson continued to play.
Reina guards the gate.
Hull City swept Fulham 6-0 at home in the last round, and they were in a brave state. This may have given them the illusion that they came to Anfield to challenge Liverpool, which has no coach to command, and they can win in one battle!
As a result, their aggressive style of play was ruthlessly destroyed in front of Liverpool!
If Hull City played a defensive counterattack, Liverpool might really be a little bit battered, but Liverpool would definitely like to see the opponent take the initiative to attack.
Vardy and Sterling have room to play, as have Coutinho and Eriksen.
Liverpool scored two goals quickly in the first half with the momentum of the thunder. Vardy and Coutinho each made a contribution. When Hull City recovered, there was almost no suspense in the game.
In the second half, Hull City suddenly launched a counterattack and failed to break through Liverpool's goal, although they did bring a lot of pressure to Liverpool and also created danger.
Sterling staged a long-distance attack straight to Huanglong's specialty.
In the end, Liverpool defeated Hull City 3:0 at home and successfully won the ball to stop the decline!
