The Blues and Red Army's confrontation in the second half of the season vividly demonstrated restrictions and counter-restrictions.
Although both teams had a lot of shooting opportunities, it was difficult to create excellent shooting opportunities.
In the 75th minute of the second half, Qin Xiong suddenly sent a high-quality pass from the flank. The cunning Suárez moved to the back of the goal, shook off Terry's marking, and received Qin Xiong's pass to head the ball into the goal!
With a bang, the football hit the crossbar and bounced out.
Suárez held his head in regret. He even felt a little incredulous.
Why did he head the ball off?
His luck was terrible!
Suarez let the outside world see his strength in this game. If it was said that he was just adapting to the English Premier League when he started in the last game, then it was almost impossible to tell that he was a newcomer today. He had already integrated into the English Premier League environment.
Chelsea's offense in the middle was not ideal, and Liverpool began to shrink their defensive line to ensure victory.
Under the premise that they could not open up a gap to attack from the flank, Chelsea's middle could only rely on long shots to try their luck!
Lampard, Mikel, and Essien had tried countless times to deliver threatening passes to the front line. However, their passing skills were not enough to penetrate Liverpool's defensive line, resulting in a pitifully low success rate of delivering threatening passes.
As the game time decreased, Chelsea began to press aggressively. They had to burn their bridges for the sake of points.
But just after they changed their offensive posture and became more involved in the attack, Liverpool used a wave of quick attacks to deliver a fatal threat.
So far in the game, Qin Xiong had only made relatively good passes most of the time, threading the needle for the team's offense to deliver threatening passes. He did a good job. But in terms of individual offensive threats, Chelsea only made a mistake when he lost the ball. At other times, he was close to perfect.
But after Chelsea pressed aggressively, Qin Xiong was released!
In the 84th minute of the match, Alonso intercepted a pass from Anelka to Lampard in the middle in the backfield. After intercepting the ball, Alonso directly diagonally passed the ball to the right wing.
Ashley Cole attacked and was about to run back before he could react, but Kuyt was one step ahead of him and sprinted forward. There was a large space in front of the right flank for Kuyt to gallop.
After rushing through the midfield, Kuyt received Alonso's pass.
Essien flew over to assist in the defense of the flank. He knew that in order to stop Liverpool's quick attack, he had to stop the advance of the attack immediately. Otherwise, they would be done for if they just retreated!
It was conceivable that Liverpool's attacking group was sprinting head-on, while their defenders had to retreat step by step and adjust their defensive positions. How could they possibly win against their opponents in terms of speed?
But before Essien could get close to Kuyt, he saw Kuyt pass the ball straight ahead.
In the large space in front, Suárez, who was running actively, was pulled to the flank. He received Kuyt's pass without anyone marking him.
After Suárez stopped the ball, he adjusted to face Chelsea's penalty area and saw Terry running towards him. Suárez calmly passed the ball.
A half-high pass sent the ball back to the top of the penalty area arc.
Before Ivanovic rushed out of the penalty area, Qin Xiong, who had cut inside from the flank and sprinted into the middle of the front of the penalty area, faced the football falling in front of him and directly lifted his leg for a volley shot!
His kick did not seem to swing much, but it had a very impactful visual effect when he exerted his strength.
The football, like a sharp arrow, flew straight to the bottom right corner of the goal without any arc!
Ivanovic's flying block was obviously too slow, and Čech's pounce did not help.
When the football flew into the goal, Čech got up from the ground and rushed in front of Ivanovic to roar at him!
Čech thought that Ivanovic should at least use his body to block in front of Qin Xiong, and not let Qin Xiong be able to volley after running into position without interference!
Because, because, because this was another f * * king wonderful goal that made Chelsea's defensive line, including the goalkeeper, become the background wall!
Letting Qin Xiong humiliate Chelsea's defensive line again and again, anyone would feel disgraced!
Ivanovic and Čech roared at each other, as if an internal conflict was breaking out.
In fact, they were just under too much pressure.
Liverpool would not care about the "internal conflict" on Chelsea's side. Qin Xiong rushed to the sidelines with his fists raised and an excited smile on his face. He made the Red Army fans love him to death!
Just now when he returned from the AFC Asian Cup, he scored twice in the match between the strong. A draw would have satisfied the fans, but Qin Xiong just had to bring them victory!
What could be better than this?
"World class goal break! China Xiong has completed another goal that could be voted into the Premier League's best goal of the year! Suárez has assisted Qin Xiong twice to break the goal. It looks like the Uruguayan striker has integrated well into Liverpool.
Qin Xiong is in great form. Chelsea has done a perfect job in marking him today, but with a little slack, Qin Xiong is like a released beast wreaking havoc on the opponent's defensive line.
Liverpool leads Chelsea 2: 0 at Stamford Bridge. It looks like Chelsea will suffer a defeat today. "
"Chelsea has almost no chance. Based on this game, Torres is a player outside of Chelsea's team. Anelka's performance is not good, but Anelka at least has ball control and passing. But Torres has almost nothing except for meaningless running. Chelsea's blockbuster signing in the winter transfer window is questionable. If Torres did not play and Malouda or Kalou were on the field, the situation would obviously be different because Malouda and Kalou could contribute to the offense on the flanks.
But with Torres on the field, he and Drogba were surrounded by Liverpool's defensive line in the penalty area. Chelsea did not play with the usual offensive efficiency on the flanks and lacked creativity in the midfield. Think about it carefully. It was a loss to let go of Ballack last summer, which made Chelsea's midfield creativity almost solely supported by Lampard. But Lampard's overall strength is very strong. He is not like Fàbregas, Alonso, or Scholes, who are at the peak of their passing attainments, especially in terms of creativity. "
If Chelsea, who played against Liverpool in the first half of the season, was dragged down by injuries.
Then the problems with Chelsea in the second half of the season could not be explained in a few words.
After conceding the second goal, Chelsea also lost the fighting spirit to reverse the game. Liverpool replaced Alonso and Gerard with Tiote and Meireles.
This was Comain's regular approach this season. After the team had secured a certain advantage, he would put out a midfield strangulation formation to "disrupt" the game!
This method was also very effective. It made the opponent unable to organize a smooth offensive. It could also make the opponent more upset and lose the focus on reversing the game.
Liverpool maintained a 2: 0 score at Stamford Bridge until the end of the game!
