"Anelka equalized the score for Chelsea! Chelsea destroyed Liverpool's defensive line with a wonderful fast attack! "
"This is a real top-level confrontation! Maybe the game will not be a big game with both sides attacking fiercely, but that's because both teams have done a perfect job of restricting each other! But as long as someone makes a mistake, even a small mistake, the opponent will seize on it and use such an opportunity to make the party who made the mistake regret it! "
"Andy, you're right. Bosingwa made a mistake, Qin Xiong punished Chelsea, Johnson made a mistake, and Anelka punished Liverpool! This is a real confrontation between the strong. Although the confrontation is fierce and not exciting enough, the sudden flash condensed the essence of the two teams' technical and tactical confrontation! Now I'm looking forward to how the next game will develop! "
Chelsea's boss, Abramovich, sat in his usual seat in the box to watch the game. When Anelka shot the ball into Liverpool's goal, he could not help but stand up and applaud. He smiled with the fans and cheered for the sudden goal!
But for a long time, he still set his sights on Qin Xiong. The Chinese superstar, whom he loved to hate, had repeatedly refused Chelsea's invitation.
If Qin Xiong had stayed at Real Madrid, Abramovich would have had nothing to be unhappy about. But when Qin Xiong chose Liverpool, it was as if he was telling the world that Liverpool was more attractive than Chelsea. Abramovich, who was committed to building Chelsea into the world's top club, could not tolerate it.
Abramovich's love for Qin Xiong turned into anger!
The Chinese magic-producing dragon who returned to the Premier League?
Let the Blues cut down the magic-producing dragon!
Let the magic-producing dragon kneel at Stamford Bridge!
Johnson walked back to the backfield like a child who had made a mistake. Carragher stepped forward to comfort him.
It was hard to say whether it was right or wrong for him to rush up without thinking about the consequences. Under normal circumstances, it was unreproachable. After all, he was an offensive full-back. Nowadays, if full-backs did not attack, they could not enter the top ranks at all.
It was just that in a fight between masters, defensive caution and overall tightness were always the first considerations. Johnson made a huge mistake by allowing a loophole in Liverpool's defensive line, which was caught by Chelsea.
"Be more calm when you assist. Observe the situation and act according to your capabilities. Defense is always the most important thing, understand?"
Carragher's powerful words entered Glen Johnson's ears and went straight to his heart.
Johnson quickly got rid of the negative emotions and raised his head again, his fighting spirit erupting once more.
The competition wasn't over yet!
He wanted to defeat Chelsea with the team at Stamford Bridge. His original intention would never change!
When the game started again, Liverpool was still unable to gain the advantage of positional play in the attack because of Chelsea's tyrannical midfield, while Chelsea began to play to the advantage of their many long shots in the midfield.
In the 32nd minute of the game, Ballack's long shot from 35 yards away from the goal tested Reina, who made a wonderful save to block the ball out of bounds.
Two minutes later, Qin Xiong moved from the front field to the middle to receive Alonso's pass. After he touched the ball, he pulled the ball directly behind him, and then turned to break forward with the ball!
The player who was passed by him was the Blues' Magic Lamp, Lampard!
Moving forward, Qin Xiong saw Essien. This time, Qin Xiong did not force it. He passed the ball diagonally back to Gerard and then rushed straight into the penalty area.
Gerard tried to send a kick pass.
But he did not control his footwork well. The timing of Qin Xiong's pass and run was very good, but the ball was passed wide!
Qin Xiong could not grab the ball's landing spot and could only watch the ball roll out of the end line.
Liverpool's attack became a little difficult. It was difficult to play rich changes under Chelsea's steel defensive line.
Comain was not anxious on the sidelines.
If he was counting on a set of tactics to suppress Chelsea, it was obviously wishful thinking.
Before the game, he had considered what the team should do if the tactics implemented by Liverpool since the start of the new season could not create an advantage.
Resign to fate? No!
He still had follow-up preparations.
Now, it was time to try.
Taking advantage of an opportunity when Anelka knocked the ball out of bounds due to Aurelio and Anelka's tussle.
Liverpool gained the opportunity to take a breather.
Comain shouted a few words to the players in the middle and front field on the sidelines. After getting their attention, he immediately made a gesture.
The Liverpool players understood tacitly.
Change formation!
Gerard withdrew from the front waistline and returned to the midfield. Alonso's position was based and also moved to the midfield. Qin Xiong moved from the flank to the attacking midfielder position.
Kuyt moved to the inside line and formed a misplaced pair of forwards with Torres.
Liverpool changed formation from 4-2-3-1 to 4-4-2.
The small diamond-shaped midfield.
Mascherano was a single defensive midfielder, while Gerard and Alonso were parallel midfielders.
After such a change, the only worry about Liverpool's attack was the flank attack.
Since Anelka was not a pure winger or a winger, and Bosingwa had already been beaten by Qin Xiong once after the start of the game, Comain roughly foresaw this point in his arrangement before the game.
Overall, Chelsea's right flank attack was not strong and gave Liverpool little pressure.
As a result, the left flank attack would be propped up by Aurelio.
The right flank attack would be propped up by Johnson and Gerard.
Gerard could play as the right midfielder. Gerard had played this position in the England national team and in the past for Liverpool, and performed well.
And on the defensive end, such a defense could compete more fiercely with Chelsea in the middle.
It was bound to make the situation in the midfield more stalemate, but there would certainly be more opportunities.
Because Kuyt would share the pressure on Torres, the two forwards would also cover for Qin Xiong.
Liverpool's change in formation caught Chelsea a little off guard.
In the 39th minute of the game, after Lampard and Ballack passed each other along the middle to advance the attack, Lampard passed the ball diagonally to Malouda.
The Frenchman wanted to pass the ball to Drogba, but found that Drogba was surrounded by three points. He wanted to pass the ball to his midfield teammates who plugged in from behind, but Liverpool increased the defensive strength of the midfield, leaving almost no space in front of the penalty area!
He was faced with Johnson's pressing in hesitation and had no choice but to bypass him, which ended in failure.
After Johnson intercepted the ball, he passed the ball diagonally to Gerard, who knocked the ball horizontally. Lampard, who had pounced on Gerard, lost his defensive position, and Alonso passed the ball straight ahead before Ballack rushed over.
Qin Xiong had his back to Essien and was ready to receive. When the football rolled in front of him, Qin Xiong directly used the outer instep of his left foot to shovel the ball to the side!
The football rolled from the side to Essien's back, but Essien was very calm. He sneered in his heart: Did he pass the ball with his back?
When Qin Xiong turned around from the other side to break through, Essien was sure that his idea was not wrong!
It must be like this!
