ball at foot

Before the arrival of the 37th round of the league, Liverpool also ushered in the second round of the Champions League match against Chelsea. lngn

Chelsea at this time is not a week ago.Robben, Duff, and Ferreira, the three main players have returned to the team, and their strength has improved a lot.

On the other hand, Liverpool's strength has declined.Alonso is suspended, and there is an important player missing in the midfield. He must not be as strong as the previous game.

But even so, the confrontation between Liverpool and Chelsea is still full of variables.After all, Liverpool has the advantage of away goals. In this game, it can be said that as long as the game is a draw, they can advance to the final. In contrast, although Chelsea are fully manned, when they face Liverpool, they never What a decent attack.The two goals in the league were all thanks to Joe Cole's substitute goal, and Robben and Duff, who had smashed the Quartet in the league and played against other teams, met a strong team After that, the performance was really not very satisfactory.

Liverpool, on the other hand, has always been the best team that governs them. [

"In this game, we are still thinking about the previous game. 451 starts, but immediately after the start, it becomes 352. Squeeze the opponent's receiving space instead of forcibly blocking the opponent."

After returning to the Melwood training base, Benitez found a lot of Chelsea games before he settled on one thing.

His method is really feasible.It's not that this is because of how good his approach is, but because Robben and Duff have fatal shortcomings in technical issues, and Mourinho's tactical arrangements have not changed this problem very well.Relying on the full-backs to press up, the sideline hedging hinders the opponent's full-backs and midfielders from pressing up, making the full-backs have to return deep. This idea is definitely the best way to deal with Chelsea.

And once Duff and Robben are blocked, the progress of the game is basically in the hands of Liverpool.

"The thing that the back line pays attention to is to be careful of Drogba diving."

Although Drogba is physically strong, this is not the most terrifying aspect of him.In contrast, his golf quotient is even more remarkable.Although he relies on his body to fight against ordinary weak defenders, but as long as he meets someone who is physically stronger than him, he will not hesitate to fall in the frontcourt. 1,

Because he is physically strong and tall, when he flops, most of the time, people think: Such a strong man will definitely not flop.This kind of impression points gave him a lot of benefits.Drogba made full use of his own advantages, not only the strength brought by his own strength, but even the impression brought about by his strength was well utilized by him.

Carragher and Hyypia also struggled against Drogba.But because Drogba's shooting skills and running positions are not good, they can defend Drogba.But the problem is that Carragher is not a very careful person. When facing a smart person like Drogba, he is likely to be fooled.

In the League Cup final, Hypia suffered from Drogba's secret loss. If the line referee hadn't suggested that the referee change the sentence, Hypia would have been sent off almost.And such a thing can never happen in the Champions League.

"In this game, at the beginning of the game, we played defense. But Joey has one task: we are not completely defensive football, you need to rely on your running ability to keep their defense line near the midfield line. Don’t let them go too high, don’t let them fall too far. Then, Steph waits for an opportunity and plays a long ball to Diego to make a goal.”

According to Benitez's estimation, Mourinho will play at the beginning of this game.Although the head coach's tactical thinking is conservative, his character and temper are quite aggressive.Since his team's main force is all out, their strength is naturally superior to that of Liverpool. At this time, there is still one goal behind, and Mourinho will definitely launch an offensive.

After all, this is Anfield, and an attack from the beginning can suppress Liverpool with morale.After defending for a long time, the momentum is exhausted, and it will be difficult to launch an attack again.Away games are very difficult to play. Mourinho himself attaches great importance to his home results, and he will naturally understand the difference between home and away games.

And when Benitez thought about it himself, he also had this idea: What is the best way for Liverpool: Judging from the quality of Liverpool's defense in the first few games, they are not afraid of Chelsea's attack at all, with away goals in hand , the best way is to rely on the backcourt defense to keep the advantage of this ball-Benitez himself had such an idea, but in the end, he was overturned by himself.After all, football is very unpredictable. With only one goal advantage, it is too difficult to defend against a strong team like Chelsea.

But it cannot be aggressive.If the situation evolves into a goal war, then the away goal advantage will be completely used.This is one's own advantage, and one cannot throw away one's own advantage.

When thinking of these, Benitez also thought about what to do.Hold tight and take the opportunity to steal a goal.He estimated that it would not be difficult-because Liverpool have the advantage of away goals, Chelsea must score two goals in order to win the game, and the total score of 21 or 22 has no impact on Chelsea. Big, as long as they score more away goals, they will be able to advance. Therefore, Liverpool's goal at home has little impact on the situation. With the gamble of the opposing coach, it is definitely better to lose the ball than to score.This coach has played three forwards and four forwards several times this season, and he will definitely bet heavily on this vote.

But this is Anfield after all, as long as Liverpool can score a goal, then, relying on the momentum at home, they can hit Chelsea.Although the opponent's head coach is not a person who admits defeat easily, but the opponent is not tough for everyone.And as time goes by, more and more pressure will return to Chelsea, and the game will only have more and more advantages for Liverpool.

And the way to launch a counterattack is naturally to hit directly behind.The reason why Milito was to execute it was because Zhao Yaning was always watched too closely after he came on the field, and Milito's situation was about to improve.Without Alonso on his own side, the opponent must not have thought that he would counterattack. This is also Liverpool's biggest reliance when counterattacking.

This game, as long as you win, you will get a ticket to Istanbul.Thinking of this, Benitez is also rarely excited: such a good opportunity must not be missed-Liverpool does not have 20 years to wait-

"For this game, the lineups of both sides are similar to what we expected before the game." When looking at the list of personnel, Martin Taylor said, "Chelsea's side is still a three-pronged team under Didier Drogba and Duff Robben. The midfield trio of Lampard, Jarosic and Makelele is behind, and the backcourt is still a combination of Ferreira, Terry, Carvalho and Gallas. The goalkeeper is naturally Petr Cech. There is no doubt about it. As for Liverpool, there is no change in the backcourt. The midfielder is Gerrard, Biscayne, and Harman. The three midfielder formations. And their left is Zhao Yaning, the right is Garcia, and the striker Milito is on the line, Riise, Carragher, Hyypia, Finnan are on the back line, and Dudek is the goalkeeper. Both sides have come up with the strongest formation they can, and this is their last game of the game. The field is also the most important duel.”[

Yes, they have played against each other five times in one season. Although Liverpool have a relatively superior record in the league, they can't compare with Chelsea's points.Although the League Cup was won, it was nothing more than a tasteless event.What really matters is this game. After all, winning this game is equivalent to winning a ticket to Istanbul.

The Champions League final... You know, Liverpool is a declining giant, Chelsea is an emerging nobleman, and the main players of the two sides combined, only Zhao Yaning, Carvalho, Ferreira and Makelele have played in the Champions League final.These two teams are both newcomers to the Champions League, and they both have a greater desire for the Champions League.

"The game has begun... This game is very different from the last game. Chelsea adopted a strong attacking posture! Only 1 minute into the game, Chelsea had Lampard try to attack the goal!"

At the beginning of the game, Lampard took a long shot, but the ball went wide of the goal.But even so, Chelsea's attitude is very clear that they want to attack and win Liverpool.

Sure enough, Benitez looked at Chelsea's offensive and nodded secretly.Chelsea are not afraid of losing the ball now, but what they need is scoring. Therefore, what they are doing now is to attack, not defend.Mourinho knows the skills of gambling very well. He can afford the cost of conceding a goal, and the benefit of scoring is even greater. Therefore, he dared to bet against Liverpool.

Chelsea's weak attack is of course their fatal weakness, but how strong can Liverpool's attack be?Even in Chelsea's game where Liverpool expected all the offensive and defensive rhythms and was almost completely suppressed by Liverpool, in the end, Liverpool still scored three penalties, didn't they?

Liverpool's attack line is also not strong.

"Liverpool chose to fully contract and have the advantage of away goals. They can indeed do this, but don't you think it is too early for the 90-minute game? Accidents in football games can happen at any time."

Lampard has already got a new chance at this time. After Robben went forward, he gave the ball to Drogba who was responding. Drogba knocked the ball to Ferreira who was plugging in. A cross to Lampard.His long-range shot went directly to the goal of Liverpool. Dudek slapped the ball out of bounds and formed a corner kick.

Very ferocious offensive, less than 5 minutes into the game, Chelsea already had two chances to attack the goal.Although this is Anfield, at this time, Chelsea fans also started clamoring wildly.They roared loudly and kept cheering for their own team.Compared with the lack of progress in the previous game, Chelsea obviously took the initiative in this game. At least, in this game, the two sides did not wait for more than ten minutes before taking the first shot.

It is not a bad thing to enter hand-to-hand combat so early.Zhao Yaning, who was on the field, also had a flash of thought at this time: Do you want to decide the outcome early?Then let's let the victory and defeat appear earlier.
