Reborn Liverpool

Chapter 266 The Demon Chelsea
Liverpool's Premier League opponent in the next round (13th round) is Chelsea. The Red Army will face the Blues led by Conte at home on November 11.

This season is considered to be the biggest spectacle since the establishment of the Premier League!Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United, which rank among the top three in the league championship standings, all have the strongest promoters in the team from Chelsea!
Klopp laughed, Melon Bald and Wooden Bird also laughed, and the giants Chelsea made the whole British people laugh badly.

The ace Salah in the Liverpool team has scored so many league goals this season, even more than Zhang Mai. Salah first landed in the Premier League to play for Chelsea, and he left Stamford Bridge only after being looked down upon by Chelsea.

In the 7th round of the Premier League match between Chelsea and Manchester City at home, De Bruyne, a midfielder who played for Chelsea, scored the only goal of the game.

De Bruyne has become one of the most important players in the Manchester City team this season. The Belgian midfielder has played 12 Premier League games and 5 Champions League games for Manchester City, scoring 4 goals and 9 assists. Manchester City also won all 5 games and qualified ahead of schedule.

On the other hand, De Bruyne failed to gain the trust of the team during his time playing for Chelsea.

In addition to Manchester City's De Bruyne, Manchester United's Lukaku and Matic have also played for Chelsea.

Lukaku joined Manchester United this season. He has played 13 times in the Premier League and 5 times in the Champions League. He played all the games, scored 11 goals and sent 3 assists. He has become the most important pillar of Manchester United's striker.

Manchester United midfielder Matic also comes from Chelsea. This famous player who helped Chelsea win the Premier League runner-up in the 2016-17 season, transferred from Chelsea to Manchester United this summer with a transfer fee of 4000 million pounds.

This signing is considered by many to be one of Chelsea's worst signings this summer. Chelsea has not found a midfielder who can replace Matic for a long time, and the team's strength has also been affected to a certain extent.

On the contrary, Manchester United's strength has greatly increased after getting Matic. Former Chelsea assistant Wilkins said bluntly: "In my opinion, it is a shame to sell Matic to Manchester United. This should never happen. Manchester United can do it this year. Not winning the championship, Matic is definitely an important factor."

Now these old Chelsea players have become the main players in the title contenders like Manchester City and Manchester United.

Chelsea fell into the dilemma of "short of major generals"-on the front line, after Batshuayi was injured, Conte only had Morata available;
The midfielder also failed to find a substitute for Matic, and a midfield commander like De Bruyne is very scarce.

I don't know how the Chelsea boss will feel now when he sees these old players who have been abandoned by him in the Premier League. Will he feel a little bit of regret?
Of course, the owner of Chelsea, Abramovich, is not short of money. He bought Bakayoko for 4500 million pounds this summer to enrich the midfield. What is the result?
This season, Bakayoko's state has been ups and downs, and he has become the team's nerve knife. He can score a goal against Crystal Palace in the 8th round and become the highlight of the team; he can also do nothing most of the time. Such performance is naturally difficult to satisfy.

Many have also compared Bakayoko to Matic, who left Chelsea for Manchester United this summer.

Premier League star Phil Neville once bluntly said that Bakayoko could not replace Matic:
"If you have Matic with Kante, it means the defense is safe. Whoever makes the decision to sell Matic should be fired, that's what I've seen in the Premier League. One of the worst decisions. If you ask the Chelsea players who they want to come back, they will say Matic. Chelsea want to replace Matic with other players, but Bakayoko is not such a player, he Not a player who is good on the ball. They couldn't find a replacement for Matic."

Chelsea's away game against Liverpool is undoubtedly one of the focus of this round, and Zhang Mai's focus is a bit different from the public's. He put more energy on Chelsea coach Antonio Conte.

Since the Russian oil tycoon Abramovich bought Chelsea in 2003, in just 14 years, Chelsea has changed 9 head coaches, which does not include Mourinho and Hiddink who have coached twice.

If it is said that Ranieri and Mourinho in the "first period of Mu" were dismissed due to performance problems or conflicts with the club's top management, the coaches in recent years have been completely "killed" by the players.

In fact, it is not uncommon for players to work together to "get rid of" the head coach in European football, especially the rich teams, but in Chelsea, this seems to have become a "tradition".

In 2008, World Cup champion coach Scolari was in charge of Chelsea. However, Scolari, who wanted to completely change the team's style of play and insisted on technical flow, finally offended the team's locker room "committee". "In the case of poor results, the Brazilian coach can only leave with hatred in the end.

The victim after Scolari was Villas-Boas, who was once considered the "Madman II". In the summer of 2011, Boas, who had just led his team to win the UEFA Cup, became the head coach of Chelsea, but half of the season had just passed , the young Boas had conflicts with Lampard, Ashley Cole, Drogba and other veterans in the team. Finally, after losing 16:1 away to Naples in the top 3 of the Champions League, Boas was forced to dismiss get out of class. The amazing thing is that the subsequent Chelsea players started a magical reversal journey as if they were reborn, and finally won the Champions League that season.

In the summer of 2013, Mourinho entered Chelsea for the second time. Although he won the league championship in the second season, the conflict between Mourinho and the female team doctor in the following season eventually separated him from some players headed by Hazard. Pushed to the opposite, in the 15-16 season, after a bad start in the league and being stimulated by Zhang Mai, the madman could only leave Chelsea for the second time.

Conte took over the Blues in the summer of 2016. Although Conte achieved excellent results at the beginning of his tenure and won the league championship in the first season, the contradiction with the team's ace center Diego Costa has become irreconcilable. At the beginning, Conte drove away Diego Costa through text messages. Not long ago, there were negative rumors that David Luiz and Rudiger questioned Conte’s tactics. In addition to the players, Conte also expressed his dissatisfaction with the club’s senior management on many occasions in public. dissatisfaction.

In Zhang Mai's memory, Conte finally left the team in the summer of 2018, and Chelsea's resignation statement on Conte's departure was extremely simple, including only 61 words in the title, and did not express any thanks to Conte.

At the moment when the boss Abramovich is suffering from political troubles, the "stabs" Hazard and Courtois are still there, the retired Lampard is manipulating behind the scenes, and the senior Blues let the players control the dressing room.

well!It's up to me to end Uncle Conte's pain in advance, and let him go to Inter Milan to make troubles earlier, anyway, Chelsea's compensation will not be less.

Zhang Mai has been going back and forth here, and the Anfield side has already played the starting list of both sides:
Liverpool: (4-3-3)
22 - Mignolet;

66-Arnold, 3-Maguire, 4-Van Dijk, 26-Robertson;
7- Milner, 14- Henderson, 5- Wijnaldum;
11-Salah, 10-Zhang Mai, 19-Mane.

Chelsea: (3-5-2)
13 - Courtois;

28-Azpilicueta, 27-Christensen, 24-Cahill;
21- Zappacosta, 6- Drinkwater, 7- Kanter, 14- Bakayoko, 3- Alonso;
9- Morata, 10- Hazard.

In this game, Chelsea coach Conte made several personnel adjustments, among which the biggest change was Kanter, Drinkwater and Bakayoko, the three starting partners for the first time in the new season.

Klopp also attached great importance to this strong dialogue and ranked Liverpool's strongest lineup. Firmino returned home and missed the game, and Zhang Mai was pushed to the center position.
