Reborn Liverpool

Chapter 212 February Day Chariot (continued)
The referee Clattenburg blew the opening whistle, and the visiting team Chelsea kicked off first.

Liverpool and Chelsea are both giants in the Premier League, and they are each other's biggest rivals this season. Both sides, who are close in strength and know the basics, both appeared cautious after the start.

After Chelsea failed to attack, they hoarded heavy defenses in the midfield. Even Diego Costa retreated to help defend the wing. Conte's chain defense is well-deserved.

Liverpool's first shot appeared in the 12th minute. Zhang Mai split the side in the middle. Coutinho missed the shot from the edge of the penalty area and then passed the ball. Wijnaldum shot 25 yards from the right and was saved by Courtois. .

Chelsea's Belgian goalkeeper Courtois is a werewolf. He was born in 92. He is tall and has a long arm (199cm).

Courtois was born in a volleyball family. He was exposed to volleyball under the influence of his parents since he was a child. Later, he was hailed as a genius after switching to the football goalkeeper position.

In July 2011, Courtois moved from Genk to Chelsea, then was loaned to Atletico Madrid for three seasons, and returned to Chelsea in 7.

Courtois has won a lot of club honors and a lot of personal honors. He can be said to be one of the top goalkeepers in the world, but his character is too bad.

What about "cuckold door", "beating the coach", "disappearing after training", and even abandoning a pregnant girlfriend, all of them are good.

Looking at Chelsea coach Conte on the sidelines, Zhang Mai couldn't help smiling when he remembered that Courtois would use the trick of stopping training and disappearing again next year on Chelsea.

Then seeing Pickford on his own bench, Zhang Mai remembered that the 2018 World Cup "taunting colleagues" happened to Pickford...

no!Let me help my teammate, use the goal to tell this guy that there are monsters above the genius, so that his big smelly mouth dare not spray around Zhang Mai.

It was too late to say it, but Zhang Mai immediately put his idea into practice.

In the 18th minute, Matip, who had been out of battle for a long time, made a pass error. After stealing, Moses shot vigorously from the right side of the penalty area, which was blocked by Milner.

Zhang Mai received the ball, turned around and dunked Kanter who was pressing behind him, drove straight in the midfield, and did not split until Chelsea's penalty area.

Mbappe on the left got the ball and went to the bottom quickly (yes, you read that right, the French kid was squeezed to the left by Coutinho), and Zhang Mai also rushed towards the goal.

Firmino tactfully led a Chelsea central defender forward, leaving Luis as a defender in front of Zhang Mai.

Mbappe's high ball flew over quickly. Zhang Mai confronted Luis head-on, and used the momentum of the top fight to come up with a bumper car in the air with the Brazilian defender. Luis landed first and was knocked back. His own goal collided with Courtois, who was unwilling to be lonely and wanted to fight high-altitude boxing.

With a "bang", Zhang Mai's header flew straight into the white net, which aroused the cheers of the Red Army fans in the audience.

1-0!Zhang Mai's skyrocket helped Liverpool lead Chelsea in the 18th minute, and Courtois and Luiz were still in a daze on the ground.

Three big men over 185cm collided with each other, and Zhang Mai won in the end. What scene could make the Red Army fans more happy than this, and Anfield was suddenly red.

Luiz was treated for an injury, Zouma and Terry began to warm up from the sidelines, but the Brazilian returned to the game after receiving treatment.

The game restarted, and the Blues, who were one goal behind, stepped up their offense and were evenly matched with Liverpool.

In the 24th minute, William made a free kick, Cahill and Luiz failed to grab the point, and the ball was saved by Mignolet.

After the next 5 minutes, it was Chelsea's attack again, this time it was Diego Costa's header back to the top, followed by William's long-range shot from 25 yards.

Liverpool also had a few attacks during this period, but most of them were wasted by Coutinho on the right. The Brazilian believed too much in his dribbling and shooting skills. into the arms of Courtois.

In the 38th minute of the game, Chelsea finally got a chance on the left side of the front court. Henderson fouled Hazard in front of the penalty area. The Belgian king rolled around on the lawn exaggeratedly. Captain Henderson was afraid of getting a card And eager to explain to the referee, the Liverpool players on the field focused all their attention on the referee, but missed Louis near the penalty spot.

"Not good!"

Seeing that the referee blew the free throw whistle and the captain Henderson was still chattering, Zhang Mai hurried to the ball...

However, Louis of the Chicken Thieves took a shot at the same time as the referee blew the whistle. The ball went around the wall and hit the inside of the left post and entered the net. Mignolet in front of the goal did not respond.

Careless!Although the Liverpool players gathered around the referee to ask for an explanation, the score on the field has become 1-1!

Klopp on the sidelines was roaring loudly, and the Red Army fans in the audience also booed loudly.

Louis, who knew he was wrong, ran back to his backcourt to celebrate the goal. You know, this is the first time he has scored for the Blues since April 2013.

The Liverpool soldiers slowly regained their calm, and launched a full-scale attack on the Blues amidst the cheers of tens of thousands of fans at the scene.

But Chelsea is not stupid. It was a difficult away game and a tricky equalizer. There were only a few minutes left in the first half. Naturally, they used the boring Italian defense and procrastinating tactics to endure the time.

First, the referee Clattenburg thought that Courtois, who was slow to serve the ball, was delaying time, and the Belgian was verbally warned.

Then Henderson, who pushed his opponent, was dissatisfied with the penalty and was given a yellow card.

The final minutes of the first half were shattered, with both sides going into the break with a score of 1-1.

Mane on the Liverpool bench still had an ice pack wrapped around his left knee, which made Klopp dispel the idea of ​​replacing Coutinho in midfield, but he still sprayed captain Henderson and the rear line.

After the start of the second half, Klopp had both Mane and Sturridge start warming up on the sidelines to beat Coutinho and Firmino on the field.

In the 49th minute, Liverpool wasted an opportunity. Zhang Mai made a wonderful pass with his heel. Klein took the ball from the edge of the penalty area and was tackled, but Firmino missed it outrageously from 12 yards.

Three minutes later, Milner made a defensive error, and Moses shot from the right side of the penalty area and hit the outside of the near-angle post.

Klopp soon replaced the two Brazilian brothers Coutinho and Firmino with Mane and Sturridge, making Liverpool's offensive flourish.

In the 57th minute, Milner received a pass from the left side of the penalty area and flew the header. Moses made a header to clear the ball and the ball was deflected. Wijnaldum scored with a powerful header in front of the small penalty area.
2-1!Uncle Zha's adjustment took effect, and Liverpool once again took the lead.

In the 60th minute, Chelsea, who fell behind again, also made personnel adjustments, and Pedro replaced Hazard.

Chelsea's attack improved accordingly, and Pedro's quick penetration played a big role.

In the 65th minute, William broke into the right side of the penalty area and shot out the sliding goal. Diego Costa, who outflanked from a far point, was a little slower.

In the 71st minute, Liverpool made a comeback, Zhang Maimiao passed to Mane on the left, but Courtois pushed his shot out of the crossbar.

In the 76th minute, Chelsea ushered in a good opportunity to equalize the score. Costa broke into the edge of the penalty area and was tripped by Matip. The referee awarded a penalty.

But Zhang Mai clearly saw that Matip had stopped the moment their feet touched, and he could only blame Costa for his great acting skills!

But something must be done!Zhang Mai did not mix with a group of Liverpool players who complained to the referee, but went to Costa at the penalty spot.

"Costa! You know it, it shouldn't be a penalty."

Zhang Mai's tone was flat, but his eyes were fixed on the Brazilian striker with erratic eyes.

"No! It was a foul in the penalty area, and even the referee saw it."

Costa replied very strongly, but Zhang Mai still saw a trace of struggle in his eyes.

OK!That's all I can do, leave the rest to Mignolet and the amazing God!
Zhang Mai left the restricted area and prayed in his heart...

The miracle finally happened, and then Costa personally took the penalty kick and was saved by Mignolet.

The frustrated Costa looked at Zhang Mai angrily, and Zhang Mai responded with a smile and pointed to the sky.

The game continued, and Chelsea's offense, which missed a penalty kick to equalize, gradually weakened, and Conte had to resort to substitutions again.

In the 81st minute, Fabregas replaced Willian and Costa was replaced by Batshuayi. Liverpool fans booed everywhere.

In the 86th minute, Pedro made a direct pass from Xiaofa, and Henderson made a key tackle from 12 yards.

In the 89th minute, Kanter made a steal in the frontcourt and made a cross pass. Pedro shot from the edge of the penalty area and missed the post.

In 4 minutes of stoppage time, Liverpool almost expanded the score in the 91st minute. Mbappe made a diagonal pass from the right, and Sturridge's header from the front of the small penalty area was in Courtois' arms.

In the 92nd minute, Klopp used fire to fight fire and replaced Zhang Mai with Origi to delay time.

The game ended shortly after, Liverpool defeated Chelsea 2-1, won the battle of Tianwangshan, and opened up their biggest title rivals by 8 points.
