At Anfield, the big strategy of Liverpool and Chelsea is dull.
Both teams are deliberately limiting their opponents, which is also a trial process.
When the trial phase passed, Mourinho thought that Liverpool's attack firepower decreased a lot compared with the previous game, so he resolutely asked the team to improve its aggression in the attack!
In the 25th minute of the game, Felipe Louis assisted to the front court to receive the pass from matic, and then created space for Azar to cut inside when he went to the bottom of the ball. Azar cut inside and received the pass from Louis. Azar quickly mited the ball to Diego Costa before Kant and van Dijk formed a trap for him.
This time, Costa hesitated slightly after receiving the stop with his back, and was destroyed by kulibali.
Mourinho frowned when he saw this scene on the sidelines.
It felt like Costa was distracted for the first time.
But I'm not sure.
Costa is too vigilant. He's worried about being violated by Louis!
Compared with the normal confrontation, Costa knows that if kulibali wants to invade him, he must be sent directly to the stretcher!
This is essentially different from reasonable collision. Unknown vigilance will naturally distract him.
Liverpool suddenly launched a fast attack. Gareth bell retreated from the left and took over the ball. Instead of moving along the side, he dribbled in the middle, which made Fabregas lose his position when defending Eriksson. When he hurried back to intercept Gareth bell, Eriksson was already on the left, Gareth bell sliced the ball back to the left and quickly inserted it straight forward.
His forward insertion was very eye-catching, which made Chelsea's central defense immediately close to him to reduce his playing space. Eriksson lifted the ball to the back of the penalty area from the side!
Terry and Carlton were thrilled!
Due to Gareth Bell's forward insertion, Waldi pulled back to the back of the restricted area, and they missed!
Waldi welcomed the falling football and headed directly to the goal. It's a god given opportunity!
When the football he headed flew to the upper right corner of the goal, at the critical moment, kurtuva seemed like a divine soldier falling in the sky, threw himself into the air and held the ball above the beam with one palm!
The Red Army fans immediately sighed with disappointment and immediately gave Waldi applause.
"VALDI's header almost opened the record for Liverpool!
Kurtuva's rescue was amazing!
He sealed all the theoretical dead corners!
Chelsea reinforced the third line in the summer, and the most important aid in the defence is kurtuva! "
Situ Yunbing is also somewhat lost. Liverpool can't get a lot of opportunities in the game against Chelsea, so if you miss one, you'll lose one!
Mourinho's expression was frozen and made gestures to his disciples to make them more flexible in defense!
Gareth Bell's unconventional approach to the middle from the side and disturbing the Chelsea defence is what they need to be most vigilant.
Because of the conventional static attack and defense, under the condition that the players do not lose their position, the Chelsea defence will basically not expose any flaws!
Four minutes later, when Oscar received a pass from Fabregas on the right front court, he pretended to knock the ball back to Ramirez who followed up in the middle. When Robertson came forward to block, he pulled the ball under his feet and changed direction. It was a fake fax!
Oscar quickly passes the ball after going to the bottom!
The line of the ball is not in the restricted area, but to the left of the front of the restricted area.
The Liverpool defence retreated and failed to clear the encirclement for the first time, while Azar stopped the ball in an internal cut and quickly shifted the ball to get rid of it, followed by a powerful shot!
This half high ball flies directly to the lower left of the middle of the goal, which is very threatening!
Telstegen jumped out and held the ball in his arms!
Anfield echoed the applause and cheers of Liverpool fans!
Telstegen stood up with a calm face.
"Azar's shot did not test telstegen. Maybe it would be better to be more tricky!"
Situ Yunbing looked thoughtful. When the game was in a stalemate, he always considered whether to make some design and changes in tactical details.
Chelsea's defence is smooth and stable. There is no good breakthrough for the time being, but it's always right for Liverpool to try.
So he gestured to the team to let Mahrez move to the middle, and Eriksson's position was also biased to the left.
The unilateral attack on Ivanovic should give Gareth bell more support as much as possible.
Gareth bell is the one who can rely on most in the front line.
In the 32nd minute of the game, Gareth bell took over from the left and faced the attack of Fabregas and Ivanovic. He picked the ball forward because he saw Eriksson's oblique forward insertion.
Mattic immediately went to the side with the defender, but Eriksson tilted the ball back to the front of the restricted area after stopping the ball.
In the densely populated area, Mahrez touched the ball first. Because there was no passing line, he started to shoot directly!
The ball hit Terry in the leg and bounced out of the baseline.
Mourinho continued to emphasize on the sidelines that defense should change from static to more active!
Only in this way can Chelsea keep up with the changes Liverpool are trying to make in attack.
In the 37th minute of the game, when Ivanovic's backcourt ball came to the front court, Costa was forced from behind by kulibali and lost his position when competing for the landing point of the football. After kulibali cleared the ball, Costa did not make any obvious small actions of resistance or confrontation from beginning to end.
This made Mourinho look gloomy.
He turned and walked to the coach's bench, spread out his hands to his coaching team and complained, "what's Diego doing? Is he asleep? I can't see his fighting spirit and his animal nature. I've really seen a ghost! "
As Mourinho's most trusted teaching assistant, Faria looked up at Mourinho with his chin and said: "maybe it's because he's afraid of coolibali."
Mourinho was even more furious and said: "I'm kidding. He can be afraid of Van Dijk, but he can't be afraid of the boy kulibali! No, he can't be afraid of anyone! "
Faria looked puzzled and said: "last season he was directly ended by coolibali in the Champions League match between Atletico Madrid and Liverpool!"
Mourinho was stunned. He forgot this. After all, he didn't care much about the Champions League at that time. He understood the game process, but he wouldn't take it to heart.
Now he finally knows what's going on!
Is this kind of thing common?
Not common, but not rare!
How many players in the Premier League were afraid of Manchester United captain Keane? How many people are holding their breath in front of Vieira? Some players dare not fart in front of savage.
But the current situation is difficult for Mourinho to accept even if he understands it.
He wants Costa to play a role, but he wants to disrupt the opponent's defense!
He can be a tiger, a lion or a lone wolf, but he can't be a docile kitten!
Mourinho walked back to the sideline and pointed at Costa. After attracting Costa's attention, he punched him hard on the left palm with a very dignified and sharp look.
Costa also knows the manager's dissatisfaction with himself. He tries to get rid of his distractions, but it's too difficult!
In the 42nd minute of the game, when Costa stopped the ball under the blockade of kulibali and was broken by Camero, Mourinho was furious on the sidelines!
Mourinho slapped on the roof of the bench with a cold face.
Situ Yunbing didn't expect that kulibali had perfectly frozen Costa in Chelsea's front line after playing today!
This is absolutely unexpected.
Of course, if Costa makes some unusual moves, situ Yunbing will certainly order the players to teach him a lesson.
Play football well. If you want to play Yin, I'll play hard directly!
After Liverpool broke the ball this time, they quickly launched a fast attack, and Camero passed the ball straight to the front in the back court.
Maheres hit the ball in front and formed a passing and cutting cooperation with Eriksson. After breaking through Ramirez's defense, Fabregas went to mark Eriksson, and matic came forward to intercept maheres. Unexpectedly, maheres skewed the ball behind Fabregas. After the ball, maheres quickly inserted into the right rib of the restricted area.
Fabregas pressed Eriksson closely. He thought he was safe. Even if Waldi retreated, he certainly couldn't make trouble in front of Terry and Cahill.
But unexpectedly, after he turned around, what he saw was Gareth Bell's early cross cutting from the side to the middle of the restricted area.
Terry immediately grabbed the ball and Gareth bell slicked the ball to the right rib of the restricted area!
Cahill's defensive attention was on VALDI. At this time, Mahrez's forward insertion made him quickly abandon VALDI and rush to block!
But after the football rolled in, Mahrez pushed it with his left foot without making any adjustments, trying to hit a far corner!
The football rolled to the lower left corner of the goal. Goalkeeper kurtuva flew to the left goalpost, rushed out and blocked the ball with one palm!
The whole Red Army fans could not help feeling very sorry with their heads in their arms, but the next scene made them excited and crazy again!
After Gareth Bell's ball, he inserted forward. He can take the pass of Mahrez and make up two-point shot.
Even though Terry turned around and pursued for the first time, he was still slow after all!
Terry, who is nearly 34, has also come to the end of his career!
When kurtuva bravely blocked the ball, Gareth bell adjusted the running direction, and then directly picked the ball with his left foot towards Chelsea's goal!
Kurtuva lay on the ground and reluctantly got up and raised his hand to block it, but the football flew over his head. He couldn't touch the football at all!
At the moment when the football flew into the goal, the Anfield stadium burst into deafening cheers!
Liverpool broke the deadlock before the end of the first half!
