When Gerard passed the ball to Qin Xiong, the football, full of special charm, rolled quickly along the turf and rolled past Mikel's eyes. His sliding tackle on the ground did not touch the football. It seemed to symbolize the collapse of Chelsea's midfield line, as if it could not withstand a single blow!
The backbone of the rear defense, Terry, glanced at the position of the rear defensive line and saw that Qin Xiong had a perfect cut inside line.
He could even foresee Qin Xiong driving the ball and accelerating, bursting out with unparalleled acceleration to rush between Ivanovic and Alex, and then form a one-man ball.
There was no other reason. After Gerard broke through Zhirkov, Raúl's running position made Alex closer to Terry's side, exposing the left rib gap.
Terry waved his hand and shouted, pointing his finger to Qin Xiong's side. The defensive line immediately went to Qin Xiong's side to make up for the defense. At the same time, Terry himself was still vigilant of Raúl's running position.
This was already the best defensive compensation measure that could be done without panic in the face of danger.
But just as Chelsea's defensive line was blocking Qin Xiong's tangent path, Qin Xiong, who improvised, made the choice to let Chelsea's defensive line completely disarm and surrender.
Qin Xiong did not stop the ball. After the football rolled over, he used his inner instep to rub the ball up!
He kicked it over the top diagonally and sent it straight out!
Chelsea's defenders, who were running to his side, stopped one after another, and the football just happened to fly over Terry's head. Terry also jumped to try to head the ball out of the siege, but unfortunately, the height was not enough. In the process of falling, Terry turned his head to look and suddenly felt despair. His whole body was ice-cold!
He saw Kuyt cut inside the small penalty area, and Qin Xiong's straight ball over the top fell rapidly. Kuyt struggled to push off the ground and fly out like a fish!
His forehead hit the football directly. The position was precise and the strength was just right.
Boom!
The football flew straight into Chelsea's goal like a cannonball!
Anfield was boiling in an instant!
Kuyt got up in front of the goal line and passed by Čech, who could not even save in time. He rushed to Qin Xiong with an excited smile on his face. Qin Xiong, who was constantly retreating, laughed and pointed to Kuyt!
"Kuyt breaks the goal! Kuyt opens the scoring for Liverpool!
Liverpool's offensive routine of tearing the opponent's defensive line horizontally was superb!
After Gerard's breakthrough, Kuyt, who ran all the way into the penalty area, Gerard then crossed the ball to the left side of the field. Chelsea had to shift their defensive focus to Qin Xiong's side. but they did not expect that Chelsea's defense's decisive pass. Kuyt, who rushed to the ball, who of, who was of of his, without anyone of his his, of his, who had of his of his of all of his''s was and of his............
Chelsea's defensive line was completely crushed, which came from the crushing of their midfield! "
"It must be admitted that Mikel has never lived up to people's expectations of him. Who still remembers that he debuted with Messi and shone in the FIFA World Youth Championship with incomparably gorgeous technical style? But now he is nothing. He has not made any significant progress in his skills over the years. His organizational ability has not been tempered. In a steel-like team like Chelsea, he does not seem to have tempered his muscles. We can't see what kind of player he is now. Mediocre, yes, he has now been reduced to a mediocre player. Although Ramires has occasionally performed brilliantly in the past, he still lacks the experience of playing against the top level of the Premier League. Or rather, he used to play for Benfica and lacked the experience of playing against the top level. In today's game, he was a bit like a headless fly. He worked hard on offense and defense, but his efficiency was low. Zhirkov, my God, his play was simply a disaster. Can't Ancelotti let him play as a full back or a side midfielder? His positional sense in the midfield is too bad! The offense is blindly pulled to the side, which has been seen through by the Liverpool players at a glance. The defense lacks connection with his teammates. I really don't know why Ancelotti arranged for him to be in the starting lineup. "
Imagination was always wonderful. Maybe Ancelotti wanted Zhirkov, Ashley Cole, and Malouda to be able to let Chelsea dominate the entire left flank corridor!
But now, Ancelotti also knew that his approach was a little unreliable.
But he could not replace Zhirkov at this time. Not only was it a slap in his own face, but it was also a slap in the players' faces.
Comain was becoming more and more handsome. He was quite calm when the team scored first. After laughing and applauding, he reminded the team not to underestimate the opponent.
After all, this was a top battle. One of the major characteristics of the powerhouses was that no matter how weak the powerhouses looked, if you really underestimated them, they would give you the most unforgettable nightmare when you were complacent!
So, even if they were in the lead, Liverpool should not be arrogant and careless. They should continue to reload their submachine guns and then shoot wildly at the opponent!
Chelsea really could not resist Liverpool's offensive!
They could not completely stabilize from beginning to end. After the restart, the team formation kept retreating.
Liverpool's midfield advantage dominated the situation strongly. This made the Red Army fans in the stands extremely excited. The cheers were even more magnificent!
In the noisy stadium, the pressure on Chelsea's players increased.
And they became more and more anxious.
This was a top battle!
Originally, they were behind Liverpool by one point. If they lost this game, they would be behind by four points!
This was a six-point battle. They could not lose no matter what.
But the team's midfield could be said to be a complete defeat. Their attacks on the flanks could not be effective. They could only rely on a few unreliable passes from the flanks. It was a bit of a fantasy to expect Anelka to be a hero in the penalty area.
In particular, Liverpool's offensive was fierce. They were increasingly unable to withstand it.
The danger in the penalty area was constant. This was the source of their uneasiness and anxiety.
In the 31st minute of the game, Qin Xiong controlled the ball on the left flank of the front field. Ivanović did not dare to easily intercept. Qin Xiong controlled the ball slowly and suddenly used the outside of his foot to send a pass close to the ground.
The football rolled between Ivanovic and Alex and went around the back of Alex. The football began to spin outwards.
Raúl immediately inserted diagonally into the empty area behind Alex. He successfully grabbed the ball and shot!
Unfortunately, the ball was passed too close to the goalkeeper. If Čech stood in front of the goal line, then Raúl's chances of scoring would naturally be higher.
However, after Čech abandoned the goal and closed in on Raúl, Raúl did not have many shooting angles. Raúl also noticed this, so he took a step diagonally to the ball!
This step allowed him to pass Čech, but his body's explosive power could not keep up. When he caught up with the ball again, there was almost no angle to shoot. Raúl paid the price of losing his balance to half-turn and push the ball. The football still hit the side netting!
Raúl rolled out of the end line. He knelt outside the end line after the roll. He closed his eyes and looked up at the sky with a look of regret.
But cheers for him came from the Kop stands!
The Red Army fans cheered for Raúl's performance.
The Red Army fans enjoyed watching him threaten Chelsea's goal again and again!
