Six Hundred and Fourteenth, Choose 1 From 2, Fight!

At Anfield Stadium, the fans of the two teams cheered in full swing, and the game on the field seemed to be one-sided from the scene!

Liverpool's half-time offensive and defensive drill!

But it was very difficult for Liverpool to reach the 30-yard danger zone in front of Chelsea.

The principle that Mourinho set for Chelsea is never to go up and not to go up after a clearance. Unless there is a mistake in Liverpool's offensive organization or it is directly intercepted, Chelsea will organize a counterattack!

But what does fighting back look like?

In the 9th minute of the game, when Coutinho received Robertson's pass from the left side of the penalty area and tried to control the ball to distance himself from Lampard, Lampard stabbed the ball away. At this time, Mikel Only then stepped forward to pass the ball diagonally to the right to find Ramirez.

Ramirez immediately moved forward with the ball and instigated a counterattack. When he saw Kanter rushing towards him quickly, Ramirez decisively passed the ball diagonally to the right of the frontcourt.

Hazard has run from the center to the right to meet.

During this process, Situ Yunbing carefully observed whether Chelsea's players in other positions followed up, but found that there were no!

This shows that Chelsea's counterattack today is at best two people!

Hazard is the sharp knife of the counterattack. There is only one person left. It depends on which side the counterattack starts from, and the players on which side follow up. Basically, it can only be William or Ramirez, because other players can't do it. Pad is old and can't come back after going up, and Mikel is slow and can't come back after going up!

Situ Yunbing was slightly relieved.

After Hazard controlled the ball from the side, he directly changed direction to kill Liverpool's penalty area. When he was intercepted by Benatia outside the penalty area, he smashed the ball and changed direction and then developed to the middle. He could not advance along the outside line, it would only go towards Pushing beyond the bottom line will take away the offensive opportunity.

However, Ramirez did not run forward quickly to the front or parallel position of Hazard, but just observed the opportunity from behind. If there is an obvious space, he will definitely follow up, but in the case of Casemiro and Kanter Marked, he will not easily try.

In the final analysis, Hazard has only one way, to blow up Liverpool's defense line in single-handed combat, relying on his personal ability!

But he was intercepted by Van Dijk instantly after passing Benatia!

Liverpool defuse the danger.

Hazard looked up to the sky and sighed helplessly, then turned around and immediately went back to chase and press.

Chelsea's counterattack today is eager to kill a bloody way in the cracks.

Liverpool found that Ramirez retreated quickly when they switched from defense to offense, and their defensive position was still very complete and tight!

In this case, Liverpool has no fast break and counterattack to play.

This is definitely a match that will test the mentality of both sides. If whoever can't hold back or makes a mistake in the confrontation, he may give the opponent a chance to give him a fatal blow.

Situ Yun’s face is like water, and Chelsea’s strategy actually curbs many of Liverpool’s advantages, such as speed, such as the team’s tacit understanding of fast passing and cutting in a small area, such as being good at continuous attacks and the time difference between the opponent’s adjustment of the defense. Chelsea contained it with absolutely static and conservative tactics!

So if Liverpool want to break through Chelsea's defense, they still have to rely on the three axes to break through the dense defense, set the ball, long-range shots, and personal breakthroughs!

Basically, there is no hope for personal breakthroughs, because most of Liverpool's stars are good at breaking through with wide opening and closing, and what they need is space, unlike Messi, who can stop and change directions continuously in a small range to change the rhythm. breakthrough way.

The only thing left to rely on is set balls and long shots.

However, Chelsea's tight protection of the center allowed Liverpool to shoot long shots, but after all, the threat was also reduced a lot.

After another 10 minutes of the game, Liverpool only had two long-range shots, one of which hit the goal range, but the angle was too straight and there was no threat.

Chelsea's defense is impenetrable under the super tactical execution rate.

Mourinho also looked not relaxed. Chelsea's style of play seems foolproof, but if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of it!

A little carelessness and a small mistake may make the efforts of the entire team go to waste.

Liverpool had to make more fuss in the wing attack, Suarez took the initiative to move to the wing to respond, and Gerrard would also lean towards the wing to form a small-scale support point in the attack to make Liverpool's partial coordination more layered feel.

In the 27th minute of the game, Liverpool passed the ball continuously from the right side of the front field to attract Chelsea's defense. When Chelsea's two midfielders retreated to the edge of the penalty area, it was almost impossible for Liverpool to penetrate this side, so Gareth Bell kicked the ball back to Azpilicueta, who quickly shifted the ball to the center, Kanter stepped forward to support and then passed the ball to the left, Ramirez went Pressing Coutinho, the latter slanted the ball in front of the bottom line on the wing, and Robertson cut the ball forward and crossed!

Seeing that there was hope to penetrate Chelsea's defense, Terry came up again, which made Robertson almost unable to find the crossing line, so he had no choice but to knock the ball back to the side.

Coutinho, who pulled the ball to the outside line, stopped the ball, retreated two steps, and then hit the ball across the middle. Kanter had no way to continue the attack, so he could only adjust one step and hit a long shot!

The football flew into the stands.

Liverpool's offensive feels like they are already changing various styles of play to try to threaten the opponent's goal, but there are too many defenders in Chelsea's backcourt!

As a result, no matter how the offense is shifted to tear the opponent's defense, Chelsea can always make up for the loopholes quickly, which puts a certain amount of pressure on Liverpool, because once the ball is lost in the offensive organization, Chelsea can go forward and counterattack on the spot. Has a vast counterattack space!

In the 32nd minute of the game, Liverpool attacked Coutinho in the front court and tried to send Suarez a through ball. This pass was already very sudden, but it was still intercepted by David Luiz.

Chelsea quickly passed the ball to the wing in front of the penalty area, and William passed the ball straight forward from the left side of the backcourt.

Hazard pulled the ball from the left in front of the center line and turned to dribble forward. Kanter immediately rushed to intercept him fiercely. When the two were about to meet, Hazard knocked the ball behind his left foot and CHOP changed direction and turned into the middle. Then Casemiro came to steal the ball, and he dunked the ball again. Although the ball passed, he didn't have enough stamina to keep up. Van Dijk stepped forward and easily broke the ball.

In this environment with sufficient space, Hazard's personal abilities can still be fully demonstrated.

However, in order to make up for the defensive efficiency of the defense, Chelsea weakened the investment on the offensive end, and it did make Hazard fall into a situation of fighting alone.

Mourinho still has a serious expression on his face, without any fluctuations!

Perhaps in the eyes of the fans, Chelsea has a wide counterattack space. If Hazard can have one or two more people around him, it will be easy to penetrate Liverpool's defense line, but in fact this is not the case, because it does not mean that there is a counterattack opportunity, even if it is formed. If you shoot, you will definitely enter!

Once Liverpool's defense is successful and they turn around and attack Chelsea's defense, then Liverpool's success rate will also be greatly improved!

Mourinho is unwilling to do such things as betting probability. He prefers to see the opponent's mentality unbalanced and then actively expose his life goal, and the threat of counterattack will increase without weakening his own defense!

Liverpool fans have almost never seen Situ Yunbing so focused on the sidelines, and seemed to be in troubled thinking.

Situ Yunbing, with his hands in his pockets, also remained motionless like a sculpture, but his slightly furrowed brow revealed that his inner emotions were actually somewhat complicated.

Liverpool now gives people the feeling that they are running very actively, cooperating very actively, trying to intersperse and try to create a threat, but Chelsea is stopping quietly. On the contrary, Chelsea is orderly, while Liverpool, which is actively creating a threat, is very inefficient!

In the 38th minute of the game, Liverpool tried a through pass from the wing. Suarez crossed into the right side of the penalty area obliquely. With Louis and Cahill blocking the block together, Suarez could only be flanked and watched the football roll out of the bottom line.

Suarez's performance has also been limited.

Chelsea's solid defense made the cheering momentum of the Blues fans even higher!

They firmly believe that Mourinho can bring them victory, no matter how ugly they play.

Judging football with beauty and ugliness is something for fans as spectators. As the coach, Situ Yunbing never analyzes and criticizes football from this perspective.

After all, football is a result-based sport, not a beauty pageant that is won by scoring.

Chelsea's style of play brought trouble to Liverpool, and at the same time, it also made Situ Yunbing speed up his mind to think about how to break the game.

He currently has two options.

The first is to fight for victory at home!

In the two-round knockout round, if you don't fight at home, it is very irrational to fight away.

But from a psychological point of view, if Liverpool can accept a 0:0 draw at home, as long as they don’t lose their mentality, then when they fight at Stamford Bridge in the second round, they will be able to turn away from the guest to a certain extent and play penalties. The idea of ​​​​against Chelsea, to see who can survive better, he or Mourinho!

In other words, nobody can beat Liverpool if they don't want to win!

But this is about to leave fate to luck!

The stronger the team, the less willing to accept penalty shootout roulette.

Situ Yunbing is now weighing these two options which one should he choose at halftime.

There is only one chance. If the tactical requirements and orders cannot be decisively and accurately conveyed to the players during the intermission, then it is very likely that Liverpool will be the first to mess up in the second half.

Because he has no doubt that Mourinho will let the team continue to stick to the current tactics in the second half, as long as the score does not change during the intermission.

In the 44th minute of the game, Robertson made a 45-degree cross from the side. Gareth Bale nodded behind the penalty area to fight for the header. After Luis first rubbed the ball and flew out of the baseline, Situ Yunbing's brows stretched. , his eyes suddenly became sharper.

His players trusted him, not expecting him to hand over his fate to the goddess of luck!

spell!

If you can't fight at home, even if you lose, then go to the away game!
