Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 912

Mourinho shook his head, turned around, walked to the coach's bench and sat down, stood up again in a moment, and said in his heart: "I know something is wrong! He will definitely lose the ball!"

Just like Zhou Qiang's comment, a player like Zhang Yuan is the same as Ronaldo, you can't give him a chance, you can score goals if you give him a chance!

Fabregas' defense was not slack, but Zhang Yuan's handling of the ball was reasonable and cunning. He took advantage of his body and shot suddenly. Of course, Cahill also had some credit, but the ball was still rejected after the game. On Zhang Yuan's head, this is not an own goal!

During the opening period, Mourinho did not have time to make timely responses. He had been observing, and now Zhang Yuan scored a goal. Apart from cursing secretly, he was also thinking about the next step. For him, offense is of course very important. Important, but his focus is that his team can no longer concede the ball.

Mourinho's Chelsea came according to his own vision. Compared with Liverpool's rushing attack, Chelsea's offense is more reasonable and balanced. First of all, they can relax and relax in terms of rhythm changes. Cesc Fabregas on the court is slow and has the ability to control the rhythm, and he has a good pass with strong penetrating power. Sometimes he just makes a simple pass, and he may be able to accurately pass the slow pass The first is to find Liverpool's gap, and secondly, Hazard has the ability to break through quickly in the winger position in the frontcourt. They can also rush to deal with Liverpool's defense.

But after Zhang Yuan's goal, Liverpool's morale was high. They were not limited to retreating immediately after Chelsea got the ball, but adopted a siege posture. Zhang Yuan and his three forwards were not at the top, but retreated appropriately. , The focus of the siege is on Chelsea's two midfielders, preventing Fabregas from playing the ball comfortably.

If Chelsea let the defenders control the ball, Zhang Yuan and the others will not press too high. Chelsea's two central defenders, Cahill and Terry, are not strong in ball control, and they can't pass more threatening shots if they are given space. The ball can only be kicked forward.

Diego Costa is indeed very strong, but after all, he is a single center forward, and it is somewhat difficult to face the double-teaming of Liverpool's two central defenders.

Liverpool's morale and coping strategies are undoubtedly correct, and the leader unexpectedly fell behind in important statistics such as ball possession.

However, the teams built by Mourinho all have one characteristic, that is, calmness. They are not in a hurry in such a scene. Liverpool's offensive came up, and they began to retreat actively, using their superiority in numbers and reliable positions to restrain them Liverpool's attack.

Even so, Liverpool still got some good chances.

In the 13th minute, Sterling forced Azpilicueta from the wing, and then swept the ground ball near the baseline into Chelsea's penalty area. Zhang Yuan came forward and shot with his heel. It was sudden but Courtois's position selection was very good. , The reaction was also very fast, kicked directly, and Courtois just hugged him in front of him.

Terry did not respond effectively to Zhang Yuan's sudden appearance. Zhang Yuan's position was too erratic, making it difficult for him and Cahill to predict the position in advance.

In the 16th minute, Liverpool made a comeback. They had been attacking on the ground. Suddenly, Gerrard launched a long diagonal pass. Zhang Yuan's jumping ability after the impact was terrible. Cahill, a 1.9-meter-old man, couldn't. Stop Zhang Yuan from heading the goal in front of him.

Zhang Yuan's header is also quite accurate, just like Benzema's header at Anfield. Yuan made a right, and the header hit the crossbar.

"Woohoo!" Liverpool fans let out a voice of regret!
"Anfield's goal is against Zhang Yuan! Gerrard's oblique long pass is very accurate this time, and Zhang Yuan's running position is also very good. By the way, this is not the first time Anfield's goal has blocked Liverpool's shot. This season, the goalkeeper has made Liverpool look bad!" Watching Liverpool's rapid offensive, Zhou Qiang was also very happy. Good ridicule.

Mourinho is not surprised by Zhang Yuan's ability. It is not impossible to absolutely restrict Zhang Yuan, but Liverpool's frontcourt Coutinho and Sterling have played very well. To put it bluntly, Liverpool's two wings are actually It's a shit-stirring stick, Zhang Yuan dared to dribble, and the two wings also dared to dribble, Zhang Yuan was in the center to respond, which made it impossible for Chelsea to completely restrain it.

In fact, Coutinho and Sterling have obvious characteristics. What they have in common is that they are small and fast. He will cooperate with his move and take the initiative to move his position to the left. Coutinho can pass the ball to him, or pass it to Zhan who is advancing forward, or he can shoot the goal himself.

Sterling is used to the bottom of the wing. Zhang Yuan often puts his body behind Sterling on this side, so that he can play two against Sterling. Chelsea's wing speed is faster than Sterling's. Sterling is relatively slow. Sterling can break through the penalty area after getting the ball, and Zhang Yuan can choose to assist Zhang Yuan or Coutinho at the far end depending on Zhang Yuan's position.

Chelsea's fouls began to increase, and Mourinho didn't want his team to commit too many fouls, especially in dangerous areas. Zhang Yuan and Gerrard's free kick skills are very good. Mourinho was in Real Madrid back then. Knowing that Zhang Yuan's free kick skills are actually quite good, the key is that there are too many big shots in the team and he has no chance to display them. After coming to Liverpool, he became the number one free kick player.

Fouls can stop Liverpool's offensive and interrupt their rhythm, but sometimes it is not only the risk of getting a card, but also the risk of being scored from a set kick!
In the 35th minute, Sterling and Zhang Yuan cooperated on the right side, and they were also strong. Sterling was unable to overtake Azpilicueta this time because Azpilicueta blocked Azpilicueta with a blocking foul. Tring fell to the ground first.

Taylor blew the foul whistle without hesitation, and Terry had to kick the ball back under his feet. Azpilicueta also backed away and explained that I didn't touch him, and he hit me by himself. The words were nothing more than grievances, he knew very well whether he committed a foul, otherwise he would not have retreated.

This position is almost close to the sideline, and shooting is obviously not feasible. The best way for Liverpool is to cross to the goal and compete for the header.

Zhang Yuan stood in front of the ball, and taller Liverpool players such as Skrtel and Lovren all leaned into the penalty area, pushing and shoving with the Chelsea players.

At this time Coutinho ran to Zhang Yuan. It is obviously inappropriate for him to compete for the top because he can only be on the periphery.

"Zhang Yuan, let me take the penalty! You go to the penalty area to fight for the top!" Coutinho said to Zhang Yuan.

This is a good idea. Zhang Yuan is also a center forward, and he has the ability to fight for the top. Although he did not beat Cahill and Terry a few times today in the stand-up confrontation, as a top striker, he ran into the penalty area to attract Chelsea's defensive focus is still fine.

Zhang Yuan nodded in agreement, gave Coutinho the right to take the penalty, and ran to the penalty area. Cahill and Terry's key task is not him, but to keep an eye on Liverpool's Skrtel and Gera Germany, these two header threats are the biggest among Liverpool's set pieces, and Diego Costa is responsible for man-marking Lovren.

Zhang Yuan entered the penalty area, and Chelsea's Ramirez was in charge of marking. Ramirez was shorter than Zhang Yuan, but he reacted quickly. What Chelsea worried most about Zhang Yuan's set kick was not how powerful Zhang Yuan's header could be. In fact, Zhang Yuan has a header, but rarely receives a set ball and directly scores with a header. Mourinho is very aware of this, but if the penalty area is chaotic, then it is not ruled out that Zhang Yuan can take advantage of his quick response. Bringing a threat to Chelsea, using Ramirez to look at Zhang Yuan is a very correct way to deal with it.

Ramirez's hand has not let go of Zhang Yuan's clothes since Zhang Yuan entered the penalty area, and Zhang Yuan ignored him. He planned to push Ramirez away directly later.

Taylor's whistle blew and Coutinho's right foot was strong too, the side just right for his long ball.

The ball flew into the penalty area quickly, fast but not very high. The Liverpool players pressed forward hard. Under the impact of the Liverpool players, the Chelsea players wanted to find a point first, but Terry was under the impact of Gerrard. Barely headed the ball, and the ball was pushed backward by his head.
