Football: Invincible starting from krypton gold

Chapter 200 Anxiety
For Chelsea, the first devil's schedule of the season officially started, starting with the FA Cup away game against the Red Army Liverpool.

At 11:15 pm on November 5th, players from both sides were in their locker rooms to receive the final mobilization and tactical arrangements from the two head coaches.

These games have been a difficult process for both Chelsea and Liverpool.

Although Chelsea did not pay much attention to the FA Cup at the beginning, it is now in the top 32. After passing this hurdle, it is not far from the final championship. Moreover, for the ambitious Chelsea this season, it is also a good thing to be able to win one more championship trophy. It needs to be treated more, because this is also a very important fig leaf for Liverpool.

So facing Chelsea's FA Cup match, Liverpool City is determined to win.

Although he entered the devil's schedule, Mourinho started to prepare for this schedule at the beginning of the season. Chen Xiao had a full rest in Chelsea's last game against Porto, so today's game Chen Xiao is full of energy and maintains a very good state.

At 6 pm local time, Chelsea's away game against Liverpool in the FA Cup round of 32 officially started with the referee's whistle.

For Chelsea, they have an absolute psychological advantage in this game. After all, Chelsea has double-killed Liverpool so far this season, so from the very beginning of the game, Chelsea launched continuous attacks on Liverpool's defense.

Fortunately, Liverpool had been prepared for such a situation under the arrangement of Benitez, so although Chelsea seemed to be attacking very fiercely, Liverpool's defense was in place. Chelsea did not get a good offensive opportunity within 15 minutes after the start of the game.

Moreover, Liverpool used the counterattack to create several opportunities. Fortunately, Cech is in a very good state today, otherwise it is really hard to say what the result will be.

In the 18th minute of the game, Chelsea made a mistake in the frontcourt. Thiago's passing intention was very obvious, resulting in the pass to Drogba being directly intercepted by Carragher, and then Carragher immediately handed the ball to Gerrard.

Gerrard got the ball because Chelsea was in a state of transition from defense to offense, so when Gerrard got the ball, there was no defensive player around him. Mourinho, who was standing on the sidelines, immediately sensed something was wrong, and hurriedly shouted at the field. The closest to Lampard was Ai Xing, but Ai Xing was thrown away by Gerrard because he jumped too hard.

Gerrard, who got rid of the defense, took the ball and drove straight in, advancing towards Chelsea's backcourt.

Then after coming to the center circle, Gerrard lobbed the ball to the front of the penalty area before the defensive player completed the interception. With his back against Terry, he got stuck in his position.

This shot after the adjustment of Dirk was very powerful, resulting in a very fast speed of the ball. In the end, the football bypassed Cech's hard-stretched hands and got into the dead corner of the goal.

1 to 0, Liverpool, who were suppressed after the opening, used their counterattack to lead Chelsea at their home court.

The ball instantly detonated the entire Anfield stands, and tens of thousands of Liverpool fans let out deafening cheers. This ball was like a shot in the arm for all fans, instantly offsetting Chelsea's psychological advantage.

After scoring the goal, Dirk Comet immediately came to the sidelines and hugged Benitez. After being double-killed by Chelsea, both Benitez and Liverpool players were under a lot of pressure, especially Benitez received a lot of doubts from the club's top management.

And has always been deeply trusted by Benitez's Dirk, but also attracted attention.

However, for Chelsea and Mourinho, this conceded goal did not affect them. The temperament of the strong team in Chelsea is getting heavier and heavier, giving people the feeling that the mountains are falling in front of them without changing their faces.

The game restarts.

After Chelsea kicked off, although they still invested heavily in offense, they also paid a lot of attention to defense, and the distance between the defense and the midfield was no longer too far away.

Critical moments still require key players.

In the 34th minute of the game, Chen Xiao stood up on behalf of Chelsea. After falling behind, Chen Xiao began to frequently appear in the middle, and there were many wonderful cooperations with Thiago in a row.

This time it was still in the middle. Chen Xiao and Thiago made an unconventional move again, similar to the hand-to-hand pass in basketball. Thiago stepped on the ball and leaned against the defender, while Chen Xiao accelerated and ran past Thiago and took the ball away. Because it was an unconventional action, Liverpool's midfield defender didn't even notice that the ball was no longer under Thiago's feet, because Chen Xiao was driving the ball forward along a diagonal line. The rib area that is a little bit on the left.

Liverpool's defensive midfielder has completely lost its defensive position, and the central defender Hyypia is pinned down by Drogba. Under such circumstances, Liverpool's left back Traore can only drop his defensive target Robben and rush towards Chen Xiao. However, this is exactly what Chen Xiao and Robben want to see.

Then Chen Xiao rushed forward into the penalty area, and after Chen Xiao passed the ball, Traore had no choice but to go back and rush towards Robben. Robben dribbled the ball on the baseline and the penalty area line and first slammed the ball back, throwing off Traore's fell tackle, and then found Chen Xiao in the penalty area with a ground ball pass, but Robben's last pass was not good.

When the ball reached Chen Xiao's side, Chen Xiao had already passed the ball, so facing such a situation, Chen Xiao had a flash of inspiration and shot with a very concealed heel like a flower-arranging foot. Reina had never expected that Chen Xiao would choose such a shooting method, so when he found out that the direction of the football rolling was the goal, it was too late to react.

In the end, the football slowly rolled into the goal under Reina's gaze.

1 to 1, the game progressed to the 36th minute, with Chen Xiao's wonderful shot, Chelsea evened the score in the away game.
