Chelsea always gives people a feeling that the front line is a little threatening, but activating Torres has become a difficult problem for Chelsea. Torres has become a "incurable" disease from boas to di Matteo, to Rogers and now Benitez.
In this high-level confrontation, if one point does not play a role or threat, it will have a great impact on the whole attack system.
Liverpool side is relatively stable and excellent, and the attack can show the role of team cooperation.
Chelsea's defense was effective, but it had a great impact on their attack!
Liverpool's many attacks were aborted in the opponent's tight defense and fierce confrontation. Although Gerrard's shot almost helped the team to win, it was brilliantly resolved by Cech.
When the whistle sounded at the end of the first half of the game, situ Yunbing turned like water and walked into the player channel.
He needs to think about what strategy to adopt in the second half at halftime.
Because Liverpool will travel to Turkey to challenge Fenerbahce in four days!
The Europa League Cup has reached the top four. If situ Yunbing has no idea of the championship, the world will not believe it!
Therefore, it is reasonable for Liverpool to be more pragmatic in the final sprint of this season.
Rationality finally defeated sensibility. Situ Yunbing's adjustment at halftime was to let the team launch a defensive counterattack in the second half.
Because in the first leg of the next Europa League semi-final, situ Yunbing still has to take the main force to fight!
After half-time break, the two sides changed sides and fought again in the second half. Chelsea stood still for the time being, and Benitez couldn't make too many adjustments to the team.
The game changed from the thrilling and fierce confrontation between the two teams in the first half to a relatively dull and fierce confrontation.
The two teams fought in the midfield. Even if there was an opportunity to attack, they suddenly shot cold arrows in a small range in the front court, and the effect was not very good.
As the game time went by, situ Yunbing occasionally commanded the players to protect the space. At other times, he watched the game with a serious expression.
Benitez made a substitution in the 63rd minute of the game, denbaba replaced Torres and Moses replaced Oscar.
This is going to change to speed impact.
Situ Yunbing was also replaced, and Lucas came on to replace sterling.
After the replacement of the two teams, the situation of the game has not changed significantly.
After the fierce confrontation in the midfield, Chelsea mainly played the side attack, but because Liverpool had an extra midfielder, they also did a good job in the side defense protection.
Liverpool's attack is relatively free and rich, but it is limited by less investment in attack and fails to produce the effect of tearing the opponent's defense.
In the 74th minute of the game, Gareth bell passed with a ball on the side. Ivanovic seemed to want to destroy Chelsea's defense. However, after the ball entered the restricted area, it was blocked by Terry and finally narrowly missed the cross.
Benitez used up the last replacement in the 80th minute of the game, Mata came off and former Reds player Benayoun came on.
But this obviously cannot change the overall trend of the game.
Demba's state is not necessarily better than Torres's state. The change of ball control after several touches can't shine at the moment.
Chelsea seems that in addition to defense, it is imperative to rebuild the center position.
Situ Yunbing replaced Gareth bell with Henderson in the 85th minute of the game, and Liverpool completely turned into a comprehensive defensive rhythm.
But Chelsea did not make a desperate attack and try to turn over.
The strengthened control of Liverpool did not create enough pressure on Chelsea's defence, but it also achieved the effect of resisting the enemy thousands of miles, which also made Chelsea unable to make waves.
Liverpool's songs echoed in the Anfield stadium. When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, all Liverpool shouted in unison, which was earth shaking!
Situ Yunbing turned and walked to shake hands with Benitez after the game, then applauded the Liverpool fans in the stands and thanked them for their support.
Although the second half was lackluster, the Liverpool generals still enjoyed the victory of the game.
The advantage of eight points ahead of Manchester United before the game has now become a little indifferent.
As long as they are always on the track of victory, Manchester United can't shake their leading position whether they win or lose!
Situ Yunbing commented on the game in an interview after the game: "We performed better in the first half, not only compared with our opponents, but also compared with our own performance in the second half.
Because we became more pragmatic in the second half. When we took the lead by two goals, we prefer to win the game absolutely, rather than pursue a more brilliant outcome at the risk of being levelled or reversed. "
The reporter questioned whether situ Yunbing's practice was too utilitarian.
Situ Yunbing shook his head with a smile and said, "actually, there are many kinds of statements, but the fact is that ideals can't be eaten. I've never labeled the team I teach as an attribute or style. That's imprisoning the real strength of the team. We can win beautifully or ugly, because the opponents we encounter are ever-changing, This is my teaching purpose.
Just like in the past few years, European football has always been discussing which of Guardiola and Mourinho's football is better. It seems that both of them are good enough to start a school, and there are a large number of followers behind each person. I think they should fight for this false name. In fact, it can be predicted that no one can convince each other, so they can only make a temporary end when they meet and fight, When Guardiola wins, people will say his football is better, and when Mourinho wins, he will be wildly praised by many people!
Therefore, since it is ultimately up to the fight to decide which is stronger or weaker, we don't need to debate who is more ideal and who is more utilitarian. "
