Revive Liverpool

Chapter 23 Against Chelsea

Gerrard's recent state is hot. In the second half of the fourth round of the Europa League group stage, he came off the bench and staged a hat-trick to ride the savior alone, helping Liverpool to win the first place in Group K.

This also aroused the emotion of Chelsea coach Ancelotti. In an interview, he expressed the hope that Gerrard could become his disciple.

Gerrard later told the Liverpool Echo: "I don't think staying in the Reds is a sacrifice, it's always been a dream of mine to stay here as Liverpool captain.

Of course, no one denies that Chelsea have more opportunities, but in comparison, I prefer to stay at Anfield until the day when the team succeeds. "

In the end, Gerrard said that he thinks his career can continue for at least four or five years. Although the situation of Liverpool has improved after the new boss Li Nan took office, it is only just out of the danger zone, and there is still a gap of 11 points from the top Chelsea.

There is a possibility of winning this season, but the hope is too remote.

But he firmly believes that the last few years of his career will be enough for Liverpool to regain their strength and win the championship trophy.

At nine o'clock in the evening on November 11th, the last game of the 7th round of the Premier League will usher in a focus battle. The defending champion Chelsea will be a guest at Anfield Stadium to challenge the Red Army Liverpool. Chelsea, who currently have one game less, leads the standings by 11 points.

Although Liverpool have been in good form recently, they fell behind too much at the beginning of the season. They scored a total of 14 points in ten rounds and are still at the bottom of the standings.

In the 67 league encounters between the two teams at Anfield in history, Liverpool won 44 and drew 14, which means they lost to Chelsea only 9 times.

However, when the two teams met here last season, Chelsea won 2-0 with the goals of Didier Drogba and Lampard. In the 05-06 season, Chelsea even beat Liverpool here by a score of four to one.

But in recent seasons, Liverpool have faced Chelsea 6 games without a win.

Pochettino Torres served as the lone striker, Sterling and Dirk Dirk served as the wings, captain Gerrard, Meirelles, and Lucas sat in the midfield, and on the defense line, 20-year-old Martin Kelly got the chance to start today.

Ancelotti arranged for the French international Malouda who had just returned from injury. He, Anelka and Kalou formed Chelsea's front trident. Drogba sat on the bench. Both Essien and Lampard failed to enter the squad due to injuries.

On the defensive line, Terry, who was rested in the last game, returned to the team. He and Alex formed a central defender combination, and Ivanovic and Ashley Cole served as left and right full backs.

Before the start of the game, when Gerrard led the team out of the player tunnel at Anfield, what greeted him was the fans singing "You'll Never Walk Alone" in an instant.

The commentary of this battle of focus is by the famous BBC commentator and England football star Lineker as the commentator.

As soon as the game started, Liverpool began to attack, and Chelsea's defense seemed a little unprepared.

Torres, who was in poor form before but has shown signs of recovery recently, finally broke out again at Anfield in this game.

In the 11th minute of the start of the game, Torres got the overhead ball from Dirk Dirk. Torres stopped the ball and shot. Torres scored and Liverpool led Chelsea [-]-[-].

The Chelsea conceded a goal that made Terry a little overwhelmed. After all, the main person in charge of the conceded goal is that he did not stop Dirk Dirk from overhead.

After 33 minutes, Torres scored again. The second conceded goal was related to an error by Ashley Cole.

However, due to the fear of Torres' extraordinary ability, he failed to block the opponent's inward line and shooting angle in time, and did not interfere. Cech, who was unprepared, was completely fooled by Torres' curve ball.

To be honest, Cech's performance in this game was not bad. If it weren't for Cech, I'm afraid Chelsea would face a disastrous defeat at Anfield, allowing Liverpool to wash away the shame of being defeated by Chelsea [-]-[-] at home.

Seeing that Liverpool are now two goals ahead of Chelsea, Lineker said: "For Chelsea fans, it must be very difficult. In the first 10 rounds of the league, Chelsea only conceded 3 goals, but now Liverpool conceded [-] goals in just the first half.

And Liverpool fans must be delighted.The first half of the game is coming to an end, and Liverpool leads Chelsea [-]-[-]. It seems that Liverpool may take a first-half lead for the first time.

I wonder if Liverpool can maintain their advantage and win this game?Let us look forward to the second half together! "

The second half of the game just started, Chelsea put on Warcraft Drogba, replaced midfielder Kalou, ready to strengthen the attack.

But Chelsea worked hard throughout the second half and still did not break through Liverpool's goal and scored. Liverpool's defense in this game was very good.

In the 87th minute, Ngog replaced Torres. The Liverpool fans scored twice for the game, and Torres, who helped the team lead, gave applause and cheers.After the end, Torres also bowed to thank the fans.

After the game, fans voted on Liverpool's official website, and Torres also won the best of the game with 49% of the votes. "Liverpool Echo" even described him after the game as: "a man comparable to God".

Ancelotti also praised Liverpool's defense after the game, "All their players defend for the team."

While he was praising Liverpool, he was also warning his team players not to loose defense, because the two goals scored by Liverpool in this game were all due to his team's defensive mistakes and were caught by Liverpool.

Pochettino finally broke the spell: ending a six-match winless streak against Chelsea.

After defeating Chelsea, Liverpool achieved a three-game winning streak in the Premier League. The current record is five wins, two draws and four losses, with 17 points.

Although Chelsea lost, the Gunners Arsenal, who followed closely before, also lost this round of the league. On the contrary, No.3 Manchester United took the opportunity to surpass Arsenal and now ranks second in the standings.

……

On November 11th, Premier League Liverpool officially announced the ownership of the team's best player in October. Greek defender Kirjakos won the championship with a high vote rate of 8%, goalkeeper Reina ranked second, and captain Gerrard only ranked third with 10% vote rate.

It makes people feel a little strange why Kyrjakos was able to win the Player of the Month in October, and still has a high vote rate, while Gerrard, who achieved a hat-trick in the Europa League, only got 10% of the votes.
