On the evening of October 4, Stamford Bridge was full.
The Blues fans held up signs in the stands, hoping that the team could defeat Liverpool. The general meaning was that the Red Army was going to suffer a Waterloo at Stamford Bridge!
When Chelsea and Liverpool's starting players walked onto the pitch, the atmosphere in the stadium reached its first small climax.
The players of both teams were dashing. Most of them showed the masculine and resolute demeanor of men, which was a very charming charm.
The beastly like Drogba, the elegant like Qin Xiong, the refined like Alonso, the valiant like Lampard Ballack, the heroic like Gerard …
"Welcome to Stamford Bridge stadium. Good evening, everyone. I'm Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor. Today, my partner Andy Gray and I will be live commentating on the eighth round of the Premier League in the live broadcast room at Stamford Bridge. It's a battle between red and blue!
The Premier League leader, Liverpool, is the guest to challenge Chelsea, who is second in the table!
We have also invited special guest Jamie Redknapp in the commentary box. Jamie, welcome. "" Martin, you're wrong.
This is no longer a battle at the top of the table. Chelsea has now slipped to fourth place in the table. Arsenal beat Blackburn Rovers 6: 2 and overtook Chelsea through goal difference. Manchester United was forced to a draw with Sunderland at Old Trafford and now leads by one point. Chelsea's only advantage is that they have one less game, but that doesn't mean that they have won the points. In any case, this is a clash between the strong that deserves our attention and anticipation. It's a contest between the real powerhouses in the Premier League. "
"Hey, Andy, you told me before the game that you wanted to ask Jamie a question. Can I ask him now?"
"Of course, Jamie. There's a saying that the person who knows you best is your opponent. Given that Chelsea and Liverpool have not played against each other this season, but they have played against Tottenham Hotspur, we want to know if you've talked to your father about Tottenham Hotspur's experience in playing against Liverpool and Chelsea respectively? According to your father, who is more difficult to deal with, Chelsea or Liverpool? "
The refined and elegant Jamie Redknapp helplessly covered his forehead and then replied, "Do you want to become the public enemy of the Spurs fans? Although we are at Stamford Bridge, we are still in London. "
Chelsea and Liverpool both took all three points from Tottenham Hotspur, and it was not too difficult to win. The two Sky Sports commentators made things difficult for Redknapp and then returned to the main topic.
"Andy, Jamie, Liverpool has triumphantly won nine consecutive games in the Premier League and Champions League, and many of them have won by a large margin. So far, what is it that makes Liverpool look like champions? Was it the Dutch football philosophy brought by Comain? Or is it that Liverpool itself has the potential to be champions, but Benítez did not stimulate the team's ability to the limit in the past? "
The main players such as Alonso, Gerard, and Carragher have all played for the team for three to five years or more, while most of the other players have played for Liverpool for two years or more. Except for Johnson and Qin Xiong, who started today, a team must first have stability in order to have the potential to develop. This is the first point. The second point is Comain. I think Comain has paid more attention to the relationship with the locker room after summing up the lesson of his failure at Valencia. In the past two months, we have not heard any discordant voices from the Red Army locker room. I am more willing to believe that Comain's efforts have paid off. He has made Liverpool more united. At the same time, it is important that when Liverpool brought in Qin Xiong, Fleet Street raised concerns about whether the outstanding Qin Xiong would make the Liverpool locker room chaotic because he might challenge Gerard's position. And the result? We saw Gerard and Qin Xiong become close comrades-in-arms. Not only in terms of relationship, but more importantly, there is no conflict between their positions on the field! This is also Comain's credit. "
When it was Jamie's turn to speak, he did not know what to say because Andy Gray was almost done talking.
He said helplessly, "Let's talk about something else. I agree with Andy. What he said makes a lot of sense. "
Andy Gray laughed and said, "Then let's talk about Chelsea. Chelsea didn't make any big moves this summer. It's a pity that Chelsea didn't eliminate Barcelona in the Champions League last season. Although we don't want to talk about that game again, after experiencing the failure of Scolari's reform and Hiddink's rescue midway through the process of almost bringing Chelsea into the Champions League final, we can actually see that Chelsea has a strong stability."
Jamie Redknapp immediately said, "Yes, so Chelsea doesn't need to recruit for the sake of recruiting. In fact, Chelsea is very stable and strong. Ancelotti now has a very ideal lineup. I have a view that Chelsea's next reform will be very difficult! Because on a spiritual level, Chelsea's soul was shaped by Mourinho.
Drogba, Lampard, Terry, Essien, and other tough guys are the representatives of Chelsea. They are all important players cultivated or brought in by Mourinho. To transform such a Chelsea team is not as simple as bringing in one or two players. The iron and blood spirit in the bones of the Blues will have a hemolytic reaction to reject small-scale transformation. It will be difficult to combine with the style that Chelsea has insisted on in the past few years. Scolari wanted to blow up the Samba wind at Stamford Bridge, but what happened? "
"Well, Ancelotti is a top manager. He is also good at taking advantage of the situation. He doesn't have high requirements for the boss. He plays whatever cards he has and plays them well. This is one of his outstanding aspects. But Chelsea lost in the last round of the league. "
"That was an accident. Čech was sent off and Chelsea had ten players. In a balanced situation, Chelsea still had the advantage. But today, we don't know. The impact of Čech's absence is foreseeable. Liverpool's offensive firepower has significantly improved this season. Let's look forward to how Ancelotti will arrange the players to restrain Liverpool."
"Okay, then before the game starts, let's each predict the most threatening player in the game. I'll go first. I think it will be Drogba. This is Stamford Bridge, Warcraft's home ground. Andy, what about you?"
"I think it will be Torres. If it's Qin Xiong, it will be too obvious. After all, Qin Xiong has left a deeper impression on Chelsea than Torres! Jamie, it's your turn. "
"I'll say three names. First, Qin Xiong. Second, Qin Xiong. Third, Qin Xiong. I support Liverpool to win. Qin Xiong is the man of the match! "
"Hahaha, the former Red Army captain will of course support Liverpool to win!"
