Chapter 301 Prelude to the Red and Blue War
"Welcome everyone to watch the live broadcast of the No.17 round of the 18-13 Premier League season presented by LeTV Sports. Later, there will be a focus battle of this round. Liverpool will face the blue team Chelsea at home."

"After Chelsea changed to 343 last season, Conte was a great success, winning 16 league rounds in a row. If it weren't for Liverpool, who performed more strongly, then the Premier League champion in the 17-[-] season would definitely be Chelsea."

"After the recovery of Liverpool's state, the recent rounds have also shown their carnage nature. Whether it is the Champions League or the league, they have slaughtered their opponents with big scores every game, and their performance is extremely strong!"

After the daily opening remarks, Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu explained the current situation of the two teams.

"Chelsea's situation this season is actually very similar to that of Liverpool. The team's game state was also very sluggish at the beginning of the season, but as the league progressed, Chelsea's game state gradually returned."

"Yes!"

Zhang Lu squinted and smiled, "After Conte found that 343 did not have the magic power of last season, he adjusted his tactics from 343 to 352 formation. This new formation is the reason for Chelsea's recovery."

"But Conte changed the 352. Although Chelsea's midfield has been significantly strengthened and the defense has stabilized, they have to give up some frontcourt offenses, because 352 has no wingers. Compared with 343, Eden Hazard and Morata up front lack support from the flanks."

"That's why Chelsea have won by small margins in the last few rounds!"

"It is true. Chelsea have won consecutively in the last four rounds of the league. They are currently ranked third in the league with 25 points, 4 points behind Liverpool and 9 points behind Manchester City. They are still barely in the ranks of the championship."

"So if Chelsea still want to compete for the championship, then they must win this red-blue battle and get 3 points from Liverpool."

At Anfield, players from both teams lined up in the channel, waiting to follow the referee Oliver to play.

"Alan, did your dad come to watch the game?"

The little caddy that Mo Yang received in this game was Allman Jr., a brat who likes to pick people's pants.Every time he sees this little guy, Mo Yang will have a thrilling feeling that his pants will disappear at any time and become chilly.

"Yang! Can you give me your pants after the game?" Little Allman answered irrelevantly.

"That's why you've been staring at my pants?" Mo Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and pinched the little fat man's chubby face.

"Yes! I already have your jersey, and the only thing I need is the pants!" Allman Jr. asked for it confidently.

"Okay! I'll give it to you after the game, and I'll give you the jersey too!" Mo Yang laughed.

As for Ozil's incident last time, without Allman's help, he probably would have had nothing to do with Ozil.

Although I have already come to thank you in person, I am still very grateful to Mo Yang of the Allman family.

"Well, as expected, Conte's formation is 352 and Klopp is still 433."

With the appearance of the players, the game lineups of both sides were displayed on the live screen.

Liverpool: (433)

Forwards: Mane, Ibrahimovic, Salah
Midfielders: Mo Yang, Henderson, Wijnaldum

Defenders: Robertson, Van Dijk, Matip, Klein

Goalkeeper: Mignolet

Chelsea: (352)

Forwards: Morata, Hazard
Midfielders: Alonso, Bakayoko, Kante, Drinkwater, Zappacosta

Goalkeeper: Courtois

On the court, with the whistle of the referee Oliver, the battle between red and blue officially started.

At the beginning of the game, the home Red Army fans made crazy noises in the stands around them to put pressure on the Chelsea players.

Klopp stood on the sidelines and watched for a few minutes, and he knew Conte's tactical intentions.

Conte piled up three defensive midfielders in the middle. The purpose is not only to restrict Liverpool from attacking from the middle, but also to limit Mo Yang's activities in the middle.

In fact, it was born out of Mourinho's cage tactics.

These three defensive midfielders are a cage. Once Mo Yang advances with the ball in the middle, Conte's cage will take effect immediately.

Moreover, the three of Kanter are in an inverted triangle position. While strengthening Chelsea's defense in the middle, these three can also create multi-level offenses.

It didn't take long for Klopp to return to the coaching bench after watching it, because he was never going to smash Conte in the middle from the beginning to the end.

Although the 352 formation is very strong in the middle, the natural flaw of this formation lies in the two wings that lack the protection of the full-backs.

And Mane and Salah, no matter which one can support the wing attack alone.

And in order to be on the safe side in this game, Klopp's task for Mo Yang is not to press too high, but to allocate some energy to participate in the defense.

Don't look at Chelsea scoring fewer goals during this period, but in fact, there are really many tricks in the ground pass and attack in the middle.

And there is Kanter among Chelsea's three defensive midfielders, who directly raised Chelsea's defensive strength in the middle several times.

Any team in the Premier League now knows that it is best to avoid the middle of the game against Chelsea, otherwise the Frenchman will let you know what Kante-style despair is.

In the 6th minute of the game, Liverpool pressed against the center circle and got the ball from Bakayoko.

Wijnaldum quickly crossed the ball and transferred it to Moyang through Henderson.

Mo Yang, who had increased his field of vision to 94, immediately discovered that there was a gap in Chelsea's left backcourt that could be attacked.

As long as the ball is successfully transferred and Salah gets the ball, there is a high probability that there will be a good chance to hit the goal.

Mo Yang quickly estimated the time needed from launching the attack to completing the shot. He found that going in the air would greatly delay the efficiency of the attack, and would most likely block Chelsea, so he could only go on the ground.

So he dribbled the ball towards the middle circle without saying a word, preparing to attract the defense and then suddenly shift.

In the end, he plunged into the cage that Chelsea set up for him.

As soon as Mo Yang crossed the center line, Chelsea's three midfielders headed by Kanter surrounded him.

Kanter is the bag, and Bakayoko and Drinkwater are the pockets that quickly tightened. When he was entangled by Kanter, they directly forced him from left to right.

Mo Yang pulled the ball continuously with his left and right feet, avoiding the long legs of Bakayoko and Brother Drinking Water, but not Kanter's short legs, and the ball was directly hooked away.

The first head-to-head confrontation with Kanter in the opening game, Mo Yang, suddenly!

On the sidelines, Conte saw the successful defense of Kanter and the three, and immediately began to applaud.

The reason why he didn't follow Mourinho's cage tactics was not that Chelsea players were not capable enough to do it, but that he didn't want to.

In the match between Manchester United and Liverpool, Mourinho did restrict Mo Yang's performance to a large extent, but it also involved too much offensive energy.

Although Mourinho made up for this defect by relying on sharp counterattacks, Conte still does not agree with this approach.

In Conte's view, as long as Mo Yang's range of activities in the middle is limited, it is enough for him, and there is no need to be as extreme as Mourinho.

Judging from this successful defense, Conte feels that his arrangement is not wrong, and it still has some effect.

"It's a cage tactic again. It seems that Mourinho has really pointed out a way for the Premier League team to restrict Moyang." Seeing Moyang being intercepted by Kanter, Zhan Jun was very happy, and he didn't seem to care at all.

"The reason why geniuses are geniuses is because they can often break the rules. Whether Conte can successfully limit Moyang like Mourinho, it is too early to say, and Moyang is the kind of player who plays more and more vigorously." players!" Zhang Lu expressed Zhan Jun's heartfelt feelings.
