"Aha! Liverpool is humiliating Chelsea's defensive line! Qin Xiong's unexpected backheel return pass, Gerard's precise and decisive overhead pass, Suárez's timely reverse offside plug, and Čech's one-on-one pass!
Liverpool's massacre came too easily!
Based on Chelsea's performance today and since the start of the new season, they are out of the title race earlier than in the past two seasons!
There is no doubt about it!
What can Chelsea use to compete for the title?
With this lousy defense? "
Villas-Boas roared angrily at the field after he saw the defensive line being penetrated by Liverpool again!
After the last goal loss, he ordered the defensive line to withdraw!
He gave the order!
This goal loss could be avoided!
But no Chelsea players were willing to listen to his command!
Villas-Boas performed like a clown on the sidelines, while Liverpool danced at Stamford Bridge to celebrate the goal.
Comain on the sidelines applauded Suárez's goal and breathed a sigh of relief.
This sigh of relief was particularly hearty!
He was ready to walk into the players' tunnel and return to the locker room. This game was in the bag!
They completely defeated Chelsea on a technical and tactical level, and at the same time knocked Chelsea's morale to the bottom!
Was it necessary for Liverpool to continue to deal with Chelsea?
Yes!
Comain wanted to make an example out of them!
He wanted to make Manchester City tremble!
Manchester City had a fantastic start to the season, but it was naturally not as good as Liverpool in terms of creating a sensation.
Liverpool had slaughtered Arsenal and Manchester United in the league with big scores. Now it was Chelsea's turn. They had also created a big score massacre in the Champions League before.
Manchester City, who had never been the leader of the Premier League, needed to let them feel the terrible pressure of the defending champions!
The first half of the game was over.
The Stamford Bridge stadium was filled with boos!
Villas-Boas suppressed his anger and walked into the players' tunnel, while Chelsea's players appeared to be muddle-headed.
They even pessimistically thought that the new season had just begun, but their season was already over!
They hated the competition and hated playing for Boas.
He could not see the dawn of victory, nor could he see any signs of the team progressing steadily.
This naturally made them disheartened.
Especially after Liverpool scored four goals in the first half, it really made them unable to lift their heads!
His dignity had been crushed by Liverpool on his doorstep!
Why wasn't the competition over yet?
Why did the first half end at 45 minutes?
Why wasn't it a full match?!
Why? Why …
Boas exploded in anger in the changing room, and in one breath, he substituted out three players!
Mikel, Ramires, and Malouda were substituted off the field!
Meireles, Torres, and Sturridge made their appearance!
When Comain had motivated the Liverpool players in the locker room and returned to the sidelines to wait for the start of the second half, he was surprised to see Villas-Boas make a substitution.
Replacing three people at once?
Is Mourinho II going crazy too?
Comain calculated in his mind and roughly predicted Chelsea's formation for the second half.
Sturridge, Drogba, and Torres were the three forwards.
Mata, Lampard, and Meireles were the three midfielders.
There was a flash of sharpness in Comain's eyes. He made a gesture to the team. Tactical change!
Before the start of the second half, Comain secretly said in his mind, Young Marshal, please take a look at Liverpool's high pressing efficiency!
That's right, Comain's gesture to the players on the field was to order the whole team to start pressing the opponent's offense and adopt the high pressing tactic!
In addition to Mascherano, the three defensive midfielders, Tiote and Lucas went up to the midfield to press frantically. With the addition of Gerard, Liverpool opened up a blockade in the midfield. In addition to the position of the wing-backs and the retreating Qin Xiong, Liverpool's defensive posture in the midfield was like a halberd across the river!
Chelsea's defensive line withdrew back into the penalty area, but the space between the midfield and the front line was almost occupied by Liverpool's players, forming a defensive cutting effect!
Chelsea also wanted to control the ball in the midfield, but they soon found that they were completely frozen by Liverpool's wolf-like pressing.
If it was the calm and prepared Chelsea, or the Chelsea of five or six years ago, he could deal with Liverpool's tactics with ease.
But in the second half of today's game, Chelsea had completely lost his fighting spirit!
Even if Andre Villas-Boas made the right adjustments in the second half, the Blues' Chelsea team, whose morale had collapsed and no longer had the heart to continue fighting, could not resist Liverpool's crazy momentum!
In the 55th minute of the game, Meireles, who had not recovered from the fierce scramble as soon as he came on the field, made a mistake!
After he received Lampard's pass, Tiote neatly intercepted the ball at his feet.
This caught Chelsea's defensive line off guard.
Liverpool immediately urged a quick attack and instantly arrived in front of the rear defensive line.
Gerard passed the ball to Qin Xiong's feet, who was plugging in front.
Qin Xiong raised his foot to pass the ball to Qin Xiong after he controlled the ball. David Luiz directly raised his foot to block Qin Xiong's passing route in a hurry, but he did not expect Qin Xiong to spike the ball under his foot and brush past him!
Qin Xiong broke into the penalty area and did not wait for Ivanovic and Terry to intercept before he raised his foot to shoot.
He used his left foot to shoot a tricky volley into the bottom right corner of the goal!
Čech got up from the ground and opened his mouth as if he wanted to roar at David Luiz, but in the end, he lowered his head and gave up the meaningless accusation.
David Luiz was at a loss.
Qin Xiong, who had barely passed in front of the rear defensive line in the first half, suddenly deceived him with a fake move. Was his thinking numb, or had he given up on himself?
No one knew!
Chelsea's rout continued!
The Blues fans at Stamford Bridge could not stand it anymore. They cursed at Villas-Boas as they got up and left the field!
Villas-Boas wanted to replace the entire rear defensive line, but he had no more substitutions!
After bringing on the attacking players in the second half and increasing the offense, Chelsea's midfield defense had problems again!
Lampard, Meireles, Mata.
Let's recall the configuration of Chelsea's midfield defense during the most valiant period of their defense.
Makelele, Tiago, Lampard.
Makelele, Essien, Lampard!
Only six or seven years later, the Blues' midfield defense was not as strong as before.
Qin Xiong was pushed to the ground by Suarez. They roared and laughed wantonly!
"Gary, I seem to have a feeling that Chelsea's soul has been destroyed by the Red Army Liverpool in today's game!"
"I think the good news is that in the next league game, Chelsea's opponent is Wolverhampton Wanderers. They can regain their confidence from a team that avoids relegation … But first of all, Chelsea should stop fantasizing about winning the league title. That has nothing to do with them."
