In the few games Liverpool have drawn and lost this season, they have basically conceded the ball first.

So it makes sense for Chelsea to attack at the beginning of this game.

How long will it take for the forward line consisting of Diego Costa and Hazard to break through Liverpool's defense?

Twenty minutes after the game started, everyone saw that the media's pre-match predictions were correct.

Modric, who has just returned from injury, is not in a particularly good state. In addition, Chelsea's defense against him is very tight, and Modric hardly has the slightest space to hold the ball.

In these 20 minutes, Modric hardly played decently, and he spent most of his time in physical confrontation with the opponent.

Physical confrontation is not Modric's advantage, so he often falls to the ground.

Although the referee will also call fouls on Chelsea players, but Liverpool's offensive rhythm has been disrupted. What's the point of calling Chelsea a foul and giving Liverpool some free kicks in the midfield?

Chelsea's 677 press in this game was very fierce. They started to rush in the frontcourt, making it difficult for Liverpool to counterattack. Occasionally, a few kicks are passed directly to the frontcourt, which may not necessarily pose a threat.

Sterling, who has performed well recently, has also been targeted by Chelsea. His physical confrontation ability is weaker. It is easier for Chelsea to deal with him than Modric-just increase the intensity of physical confrontation. Sterling's little The body can't bear the oppression of a group of stupid big black rough in Chelsea's midfield

In the first half, Chelsea, who played at home, had an advantage. They kept putting pressure on Liverpool's goal amidst the singing of the home fans.

Goals seem to happen at any moment.

But the goal didn't come.

Thirty minutes into the game, the score was still zero to zero

Chelsea got a few chances but couldn't score.

This made Condi on the coach's bench a little restless. He got up from the coach (adej) bench, walked to the sidelines, folded his hands on his chest, and stared at the court with a slight frown.

He knew very well that if he wanted to beat Liverpool at home, he had to score first.

Goals can change a lot of things, boost one's own morale and attack the opponent's fighting spirit, and at the same time, there is more room for tactical maneuvering.

But if it is too late to score, the advantage that Chelsea has now will gradually tilt to Liverpool.

After all, Chelsea's tactics are very exhausting. In the second half, Chelsea players will not be able to run.

At that time, Liverpool will regain the initiative of the game.

It's going to be bad if Chelsea don't take the lead before then.

On the contrary, if they take the lead, Chelsea can recover their defense and hold even one ball advantage at home.

"Chelsea took the initiative of the game and were only one goal away"

Andy Gray said.

Lineker next to him shook his head: "Playing Liverpool, if you don't score a goal, you don't have the initiative of the game. Pay attention to Ancelotti's expression, he is a little anxious. On the contrary, Ancelotti looks very calm. Said Maybe playing 00 in the first half was originally Ancelotti's plan."

The Chelsea fans in the stands seemed to be tired of singing, and their singing was a little softer than before.

At the same time, during the game, Chelsea's siege also tended to slow down-after half an hour of continuous siege, the physical fitness of Chelsea players encountered the first hurdle, and they also needed to adjust themselves.

The goal still hasn't come.

Among the Chelsea fans in the stands, someone's expression turned serious.

The Liverpool fans in front of the TV are constantly cheering for their team's defense.

The game just passed for another ten minutes. After forty minutes in the first half, there were still five minutes before the first half was over. At most, there would be two minutes of stoppage time.

Conti didn't continue to watch with his arms folded, but waved his arms and shouted loudly, asking the players to speed up the rhythm again.

It's too early to have physical problems now...

The oppression on Liverpool must be maintained, otherwise it would be like loosening the chains on the beast, allowing the other party to escape as soon as they broke free, and it would be dangerous for Chelsea, who is holding the chain.

The Chelsea players also realized this, so they re-intensified the siege in the midfield and continued to put pressure on Liverpool.

The advantage of this adjustment is that the immediate game initiative has returned to Chelsea's hands.

And in the 42nd minute, Chelsea launched an attack from the side and hit the center. Godin headed the ball out when he was fighting for the top with Diego Costa.

But because of Diego Costa's interference, Godin did not push football far. The football flew out and landed at the top of the free throw arc.

Before everyone could react, Chelsea's No. 8 Lampard suddenly rushed up and kicked the ball

bang

The football was drawn towards the goal by Lampard's right instep.

Faced with such a sudden kick, Joe Hart was helpless. His saving action was obviously slower than the speed of the football. When the football hit the net behind him, his palm only slid from the track of the football. Pass.
