Coach, I want to play football!

Zhan Jun: "We saw that Kanter was almost staring at Ye Qi today. Several times he defended against Ye Qi, and he did a good job."

Liu Yue smiled, "This must be the arrangement of head coach Conte before the game. Kanter and Ye Qi are both former teammates, and the relationship between the two is relatively good. So they must be familiar with each other. Use Kanter to Guarding the opponent's most threatening player is equivalent to breaking one of his arms!"

Kante has had no transition period since arriving at Chelsea. As a defensive midfielder, he has often won applause from Blues fans.

It can be seen that it is very important to be strong in many cases.

In the 25th minute, Ye Qi received a pass from his teammate, but immediately Kanter and Terry came forward.

Chelsea played three central defenders, and Ye Qi found it difficult to face three central defenders. In addition, Kante, who was pressing every inch, lost the ball for a while.

In the 30th minute, William broke through from the wing and found Diego Costa with a cross. But Diego Costa didn't have a good chance to kick the ball and immediately gave the ball to Fabregas who came up from behind.

After switching to Kante as his partner, Fabregas' freedom has increased a lot.

Fabregas got the ball and Brazilian midfielder Leiva came up. The Spanish midfielder made a fake pass back to Diego Costa, tricking Leiva into stretching his foot and immediately dunking the ball back, and then he dribbled the ball through the middle!

Fortunately, Henderson returned to defense quickly enough and came up to intercept Fabregas' route.

The Spanish midfielder chose a through ball to Hazard who came in from the ribs. Hazard rushed into the penalty area and got the ball, and then started to move inside!

Matip quickly came over to block the inside line, and Klein, who was returning to defense from the wing, also followed up.

But this was just a fake move by Hazard. He followed him to the outside line, dodged half of Klein's body, and then suddenly hit the goal with his left foot!

Zhan Jun: "Hazard!! It's very beautiful to get rid of people in a small area!"

Liu Yue: "This ball... pass and shoot!!"

Hazard's ball seemed to be passed and shot. The ball went towards the goal, but it did not hit the near corner because Karius had already stopped on this side.

The ball went to the far end, but because the angle of the shot was already very small, the ball did not turn toward the goal.

But the ball speed is very fast!

Diego Costa, who followed up in the middle, got ahead of Matip and made a shovel shot, but he fell down and did not touch the ball.

Zhan Jun: "Diego Costa! Almost..."

William followed up from the far end. According to this ball speed, it would be a better choice for William to directly hit the ball.

But his follow-up speed was a little slow. The ball had already passed the far post of the goal. In addition, Lovren was already in position. Moreno, who was returning to defense, was already standing near the goal post, so he had no chance to shoot.

William chose to stop the ball, use the inside instep of his right foot to unload the ball, and then looked up!

Zhan Jun: "William!! The ball stopped very beautifully!"

Liu Yue nodded: "Yes, Hazard's foot seems to pass and shoot the ball very fast. If you don't pay attention to stopping the ball, it will stop wide or the ball will bounce. But William stopped it very steadily."

Zhan Jun: "This may be the unique feeling of the ball at the feet of Brazilian players."

William, who got the ball, looked towards the goal and the small penalty area. Before Diego Costa could stand up, Hazard on the other side had already gone around to the small penalty area.

Fabregas also followed up near the penalty spot, and Moses moved over to William to connect from the outside.

At this time, William suddenly passed the ball with a kick.

Not for Hazard, nor for midfielder Fabregas, but to the back point on the other side of the penalty area!

Alonso, who cut in, jumped up and raised his foot to receive William's pass. He did a very beautiful job of unloading the ball with his foot in the air.

Then, when the ball just landed, he directly raised his right leg and shot!

Zhan Jun: "William... Beautiful transfer of the ball, rib connection... Marcos Alonso!!"

Wijnaldum, who came back to defend, had already taken off and stretched his legs, but he was still a step too late and failed to block the Spanish defender's shot.

The football flew towards the penalty area, and Karius in front of the goal quickly jumped up and stretched out his hand to block it.

The ball was slightly higher and flew over Karius' hand and over the crossbar.

Zhan Jun: "Beautiful long shot! It was just a little bit close. It would have been nice if the ball had a downward arc."

Liu Yue: "Alonso played this with his right foot, and the quality is already very high. If he had used his left foot, the threat would have been even greater."

Klopp was a little anxious on the sidelines. He pointed near the penalty area and signaled the players to strengthen the defense in this area.

Zhan Jun: "Chelsea's wing-backs in this tactic are indeed a threat. Not only do they have to go down and pass, they even cut inside and shoot from long range!"

Liu Yue smiled and nodded: "It's really difficult to guard against. Alonso has already exposed his kick, and Moses will probably do the same later."

When Alonso first arrived at the Blues, he played into the Blues' glorious tradition of driving backwards. He could pass and shoot from the wing, and lurked behind Hazard to take him by surprise.

After all, on the left, almost most teams mainly focus on Hazard.

The opponent is the player who poses the most threats and is the biggest threat in the Blues, which is similar to Ye Qi.

The only difference is that Ye Qi is not creating threats, but creating goals.

But Ye Qi today was a little temperamental because of Kanter and the opponent's three-center-back system.

In the 38th minute, Mane broke through to create an opportunity and passed the ball to Ye Qi in the penalty area.

But there is still the same problem. As soon as Ye Qi got the ball, the opponent double-teamed him, so he had no choice but to give the ball to Firmino, and then help his teammates to create space.

It was also not easy for Firmino to get the ball. Although it was in the ribs of the penalty area, there was no room for a shot.

He could only return the ball to Wijnaldum who followed up from the center again.

But this passing route had already been guessed by Kanter. The French midfielder suddenly came up and intercepted the ball before Wijnaldum could get it.

Zhan Jun: "Kante!! Unexpected steal!!"

Liu Yue: "This steal was very beautiful. I completely guessed Liverpool's route!"

Kanter didn't give Wijnaldum a chance to fight back when he got the ball, and immediately transferred the ball to Fabregas who was retreating.

Chelsea's recent counterattacks are very characteristic. Often after Kante steals the ball, the entire team begins to switch to counterattack mode.

The players in the frontcourt quickly moved forward and spread out at the same time.

Diego Costa, Hazard and Willian fired three arrows together!

Zhan Jun: "Chelsea is going to counterattack, Liverpool should be careful!"

Henderson knew the opponent's counterattack threat, so when Fabregas took the ball and turned around before passing the ball, he stepped on it, and then without caring so much, he directly dribbled the ball and brought down the Spanish midfielder.

The referee on duty, Mike Dean, immediately blew the whistle to indicate that Henderson had committed a foul. Henderson didn't care so much and immediately waved his hands to signal his teammates to quickly return to defense and beware of the opponent's quick free kick.
