When Qin Xiong made a domineering celebration on the sidelines, like a dazzling monument of the Red Army standing on the sidelines, Chelsea's players were all silent on the pitch.
No players were willing to speak. Like manager Ancelotti, they knew that the game was over.
Chelsea's gamble of halftime adjustment was lost in the end!
At this time, they calmly analyzed the two players brought on by Chelsea at halftime. Drogba had the aura of a magical beast, but he was slightly injured and could be said to be in a weak state. Sturridge was young and promising, but he could not shoulder the burden. Neither of them could turn the tables in a game of this level!
It was just that Chelsea was forced into a dead end and had to give it a try.
The game was still going on, and Ancelotti used the last substitution.
Ivanovic, who had not been able to contain Qin Xiong from start to finish, was replaced by Ancelotti and replaced by the veteran Bosingwa. The entire Blue team retreated and tried to slow down the pace of the game.
They only wanted the game to be over. They could no longer leave Anfield with dignity, so let the nightmare end early!
They should not have met Liverpool at this time. Even if they were unwilling to lose, things did not go as they wished and reality happened!
Chelsea wanted to use up the game time, but Liverpool did not agree.
It was a rare opportunity to frustrate Chelsea's spirit. How could the Red Army give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
They wanted to establish their power and implant pain into the depths of the Blues' soul!
The next time the Blues met the Red Army, they would be afraid from the bottom of their bones!
In the 81st minute of the game, Kuyt successfully tackled Ashley Cole in the front field. Ashley Cole, who was deeply involved in an emotional storm with his wife Cheryl, was not in form recently. His loss of the ball led to the Blues' loss of the fourth goal.
Kuyt successfully snatched the ball back and passed it to the middle. Gerrard took advantage of the situation and sent a straight ball. Raul broke through the defensive line and successfully reversed the offside position before turning around and shooting to break the goal!
The Blues' loss was too cowardly!
The defensive line did not react at all.
“4:0！ Liverpool went on a killing spree at home, and Raúl completely tore off Chelsea's last layer of cover!
Chelsea, who was only one point behind Liverpool in the standings, lost so cleanly today. It was unexpected!
The two powerhouse teams were not in their best condition and were not at their strongest, but there was such a huge contrast in their performance on the field today!
It could be said that Chelsea had ruined their efforts over the past two months. The foundation they had worked so hard to lay for the Premier League was gone after this game.
After 11 rounds of games, they were four points behind Liverpool, and they even ushered in a crushing defeat. How much of an impact would that have on their mentality? We don't know, but what is certain is that the positive stimulation of Liverpool and the blow to Chelsea's confidence will definitely have an impact! "
After Liverpool celebrated the goal, Comain made a substitution.
Raúl and Alonso were substituted.
Ngog and Meireles came on.
Chelsea was no longer in the mood to continue fighting. Liverpool saw that the other side was holed up in defense and there was not much time left in the game, so they did not attack aggressively. After two attacks, the game was over!
Flags fluttered in Anfield Stadium, the Red Army's military song was loud and clear, and the Red Army fans held their scarves high in praise of the team's greatness.
Chelsea, like a defeated soldier, hurriedly scurried into the players' tunnel.
Ancelotti shook hands with Comain expressionlessly and quickly left.
He did not want to stay in Anfield for a second longer.
When the players came to the mixed zone for an interview, Gerard faced the camera and accepted the reporter's questions.
"A lot of people are saying that Liverpool's recent situation is not good and that the absence of a few key players has a huge impact. But in the Champions League and the league, Liverpool played convincing and wonderful games. Today, they defeated their biggest rival for the title, Chelsea, 4: 0. Do you think the outside world's view is biased? In fact, the absence of Torres, Carragher and the others does not have a big impact on the team. "
Gerard said with a smile, "First of all, Liverpool is a team. It's not that we can't win without anyone. We can still win, but the strength of a team lies in having more high-level players. Now we have Alonso, Qin Xiong, Kuyt, and Raúl. We are very strong, but if you say that Torres's absence has no impact on us, that's absolutely wrong. If Torres and Carragher come back, we will concede fewer goals, score more goals, win more, and reduce some unnecessary failures. That's the correct understanding. We are now looking forward to our injured teammates returning to our midst."
"Okay, then can you pick the player you think has performed the best in this game?"
"That's a boring question. Whoever scores the most goals will be the one. Besides, he has an assist. Did you watch the game at all? "
After Gerard finished speaking, he laughed and left.
The reporter also smiled at the camera and shook his head helplessly. "Gerard is talking about Qin Xiong. Of course, I watched the game. It seems that Liverpool's superstar, Qin Xiong, has turned his phenomenal performance into the norm. Maybe one day he doesn't score goals or give key assists, then we'll be surprised. "
.....
Ancelotti was besieged by Fleet Street after the game. Chelsea, who was in good condition, was massacred at Anfield. This made Fleet Street wonder if his position as the manager was in jeopardy again!
After all, the Premier League and Champions League titles that Abramovich had been looking forward to for many years were still nowhere in sight. This season, they were going to overturn the reign of the defending champions, Liverpool. Chelsea was defeated in a direct confrontation, which would naturally affect Ancelotti's position as the manager.
Ancelotti said that he had the full support of the club's senior management and emphasized that victory and defeat were commonplace. The league tournament was a long-distance race, and it was not a matter of time!
Comain was quite low-key in front of the media after the game.
"The score of 4: 0 does not explain the actual gap between Liverpool and Chelsea. Chelsea played an away game today. Secondly, they had many key players who were not on the field. I have always admired Lampard and Essien. I believe that if these two Chelsea players were on the field, even if Liverpool won the game, it would not be too easy. What I want to say is that this victory did not bring Liverpool the title and did not let us successfully defend our title. We have to be clear about this. A victory with three points and a gap between us and our rivals for the title, that's all! "
The 11th round of the Premier League was over.
Liverpool had 29 points, Chelsea had 25 points, Manchester United had 20 points, Arsenal had 19 points.
As the third round of the competition was about to pass, Liverpool gradually began to shake off their other rivals for the title!
