Chapter 474 Anfield Stadium, the first battle of the season against Liverpool!
"Chelsea!"
"Chelsea!"
"Wow!"
"Jiang, look here!"
The blue bus slowly drove into Anfield Stadium, and the fans who had been waiting around the stadium swarmed in.
Today is the Blues' away game, but because Anfield Stadium itself has a large capacity, there are still nearly 5000 away fans present.
The fans were excited because the Blues' old captain Terry opened the curtain.
“Terry!”
“Terry!”
The fans followed the bus, and a few young people even jumped up and wanted to high-five Terry.
Terry stretched out his right hand and greeted the fans below.
He has been with the Blues for more than 10 years, but he still wants to stay here. One reason is the sense of belonging to the club, and the other is that he can't bear to leave the Blues fans.
"Throw it up, throw it up! OK!"
Terry took the initiative to signal the fans to throw the jersey up, grabbed it decisively, and then quickly wrote his name.
"Whose is this? Whose is this? Here, for you!"
In just half a minute, Jiang Yuan watched Terry give about 5 or 6 signatures, so he who was sitting in the back also opened the curtains and windows.
"Jiang! Oh shit!"
"Golden Globe Award! Jiang, will you win a Golden Globe Award?"
The fans were not in a hurry to take off their jerseys and hand them to Jiang Yuan, but instead raised the questions in their minds.
Does Jiang Yuan have a chance to win the Golden Globe Award?
Ok……
Jiang Yuan suddenly regretted pulling out the curtains because he really didn't know how to answer this question.
Motioning to the fans to throw up their clothes, Jiang Yuan signed and slowly said: "I don't know the answer to this question either. We need to wait until next month. We will know the result next month."
"Jiang, we support you, come on!"
"come on!"
"Chelsea!"
Boom!
"Chelsea!"
Boom!
"Win this game!"
The local traffic police and special police came together to evacuate the fans surrounding the bus. Amid the cheers of the visiting fans, the bus stopped next to the cordon at the entrance and the players got off the bus.
At this time, it’s not just the away team fans who are gathering around, the home team fans are also waiting here!
"Chelsea!"
“xuuu——!!!”
"Chelsea!"
"xuuuu!!!"
"OléOléOléOlé! oh~~"
Tuchel signaled the players to calm down and quickly run into the stadium.
"Fuck, they're so disgusting!"
Zouma was the last one to run up, and the stadium security quickly closed the door. The excellent sound insulation system weakened the shouts of the fans outside.
"Come on, calm down"
Hazard pats Zouma on the back: "This isn't your first time at Anfield"
"Nonono, this time is different, I can feel that they just want to kill us"
Zouma showed his fist to his teammates.
If you think about it carefully, what Zuma said does make sense.
When Jiang Yuan came to Anfield before, these Liverpool fans did not have such momentum.
But this season is different for Liverpool.
Because this is a crucial season for Liverpool's resurgence.
Manchester United seems to be on the right track, so Liverpool must not fall behind!
"Then why don't you just win the game?"
Tuchel, who was walking in the front, turned and looked at Zouma: "Come on, Kurt, stop all the opposing forwards, and then we will win the game!"
Zuma quickly gave a thumbs up and said, "In that case, leave it to me!"
"Just don't send any."
Courtois touched Zouma's head.
"Come on, impossible!"
Arriving in the locker room, Tuchel briefly explained the tactics of today's game to the players.
Still playing with three central defenders, but today it is not 343, but 3313.
This is a new style of play that Tuchel came up with based on the game situation and training practices.
Hazard's position was moved forward, which indirectly reflected that the Blues' tactics in this game had changed.
Strengthen offensive capabilities.
Chelsea wants to go head-on with Liverpool!
"We must pay attention at that time. After Eden's position is advanced, our defensive midfielder's position may be more inclined to the middle, but you must pay attention to leaning to the wing when defending, because the two forwards on the opposite side have strong breakthrough abilities."
"Then there are the forwards. The forwards need to defend a lot. I don't ask too much of this on the left, but on the right, William, you must remember to retreat and help N'Golo defend. This is very important for our overall tactics."
Tuchel felt that he had already covered the most important things and was just about to let the players take a break and think when something suddenly occurred to him.
"We are away from home in today's game, and the referee is Michael Oliver. I know this is definitely not very favorable for us, but I need you to focus on the game. If there is a foul, Zsolt and I will complain to the fourth official."
Although he has only been in the Premier League for half a season, Tuchel is familiar with the referees in the Premier League.
Michael Oliver!
I heard that this guy likes to go against Chelsea?
Today Tuchel will see what is going on!
……
"CCTV, CCTV, we are broadcasting live the 13th round of the Premier League this season, Liverpool vs. Chelsea at home. Let's take a look at the starting lineups of both teams."
"First of all, let's talk about the home team Liverpool. The head coach is Jurgen Klopp, who took office in 15. Since the 15-16 season when he took office, Liverpool's league results have been getting better and better. This season they also have the Champions League qualification."
“Liverpool even drew with defending champions Real Madrid in the Champions League group stage!”
Liverpool (4-3-3)
Goalkeeper: Mignolet
Defenders: Joe Gomez, Matip, Klavan, Moreno
Midfielders: Milner, Henderson, Coutinho
Forwards: Salah, Sturridge, Chamberlain
“When you walk through a storm~”
“Hold your head up high～ (Please hold your head high)”
“And don't be afraid of the dark~”
"..."
"You'll never walk alone
)"
“You’ll never walk alone”
Liverpool's performance this season is good, and they are only 2 points away from Manchester City, which is ranked third in the league.
Good result + home game, the home fans must be in high spirits today.
Looking at Liverpool's lineup, although the players' values are not as exaggerated as Chelsea's, Coutinho at 6500 million euros and Salah at 4000 million euros are already among the most expensive players in the Premier League.
And the most important thing is that this was their value four months ago.
As long as the transfer market value is updated, Coutinho and Salah's value will most likely exceed 7000 million euros, based on their performance this season!
"Go, go, go, left, give it directly!" Klopp, wearing a hat, gave quick instructions on the sidelines of the stadium.
"I'll come, I'll come!"
Jiang Yuan ran quickly towards Milner, who first controlled the ball under his feet, and then passed the ball to Henderson on the left after Jiang Yuan got closer.
The pressing certainly could not stop, Jiang Yuan could only turn around and run towards Henderson.
In addition, Hazard is also on his way forward to press.
Chelsea maintained their usual style in today's game.
The Blues' midfield and frontcourt players often put a lot of pressure on the opponent!
High-intensity pressing will make many teams panic and unable to pass the ball, but for Liverpool this is not a problem that cannot be dealt with.
Henderson passes the ball back to Milner!
Facing Henderson's pass, Milner did not rush to control the ball, but took the initiative to make room for it.
Observe the situation in the front court first!
This action is very necessary for the midfield dealer!
Snapped!
An extremely standard long pass sent the ball to the left baseline!
"Oh!"
The fans screamed and the camera followed the ball to the left.
Chamberlain stepped on the ball!
"Beautiful! Chamberlain!"
“Perfect stop!”
"Coutinho was still on his way. Kante was very smart and ran in front of Coutinho, so Chamberlain couldn't pass the ball back!"
"Azpilicueta is also watching at the top of the arc!"
"Without a passing option, Chamberlain can only dribble the ball and look for opportunities!"
The camera focuses on Chamberlain.
As a midfielder for Liverpool, Chamberlain played as a striker in today's game.
Now his task is to get past Walker in front!
He walked forward with the outside of his foot and deliberately pushed the ball in front of Walker to test the water!
However, Walker was cautious and remained motionless in the face of Chamberlain's temptation.
The logic is very clear, as long as the defensive players do not make any moves, they will not be deceived by the offensive players!
The defense line was not very deep at the moment, so Chamberlain did a few bicycle kicks and continued to move forward.
Go straight to the bottom!
Walker finally couldn't help it and stretched out his left foot to prepare for a steal.
At the moment Walker stretched out his leg, Chamberlain flicked his left foot and cut inside directly from the bottom.
Chamberlain isn't as fast as Walker, but that's not the point.
The point is that Chamberlain is faster than Walker imagined!
He made a mistake!
Snapped!
After temporarily creating some distance, Chamberlain made a quick move and passed the ball horizontally to Salah at the back post.
Salah gets the ball!
"Woww!!"
Don't be in a hurry, stop where you are for a while. Jiang Yuan, who was returning to defense, felt very uncomfortable.
Salah's pause allowed him to run past.
But it doesn’t matter, Pogba quickly came up to defend.
Salah suddenly accelerated and Pogba seized the opportunity to complete the steal!
boom!
The ball poked out by Pogba returned to Milner's feet.
In response to this sudden surprise, Milner's choice was to kick the ball into the penalty area.
Sturridge withstands Zouma's confrontation!
Jump up!
direct……
Sturridge did not choose to shoot, he passed the ball to Salah on the right!
Salah keeps the ball firmly on his feet!
Adjust one step and then push the shot!
Snapped!
Pogba suddenly went down the line and used his body to block Salah's shot.
"wow..."
Courtois breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the front to high-five Pogba.
so close!
"It's okay, it's okay, just focus a little!"
Coutinho went to take the corner kick, while Azpilicueta encouraged his teammates.
Liverpool has the home advantage and they may get into the game faster.
This is a test for Chelsea, the Blues players must withstand the pressure in the opening few minutes!
Because the game had just started, Jiang Yuan also participated in the corner kick defense. He and Pogba were responsible for Salah and Gomez respectively.
Snapped!
Corner kick taken!
First point position!
boom!
Courtois hit the ball directly out!
"I come!"
Kante took a step back, stopped the ball with his calf, pushed the ball behind him with his heel, and then quickly dribbled the ball forward!
Kante knew very well that this was a corner kick counterattack opportunity for Chelsea.
This opportunity is very important for Chelsea, they must make good use of it!
The director deliberately gave Jiang Yuan a shot at this time, and the Blues star had already rushed out on the road.
He needs to go forward and act as a supporting point, otherwise Kante's dribbling forward will not be effective!
"woww!!!"
“xuuu——!!!”
The home team fans began to get nervous.
They need to make noise now.
Influence Jiang Yuan's state through noise!
There are currently no Liverpool defensive players around Jiang Yuan. This is because Liverpool currently does not have a player who can completely one-on-one with Jiang Yuan in terms of speed.
If they want to defend Jiang Yuan, they have to look at the players who are protecting him behind.
The players who were protecting him temporarily restrained Jiang Yuan, so as to buy time for the players involved in the corner kick attack to return to defense!
"Come!"
Kant yelled.
He saw the huge gap behind Klavan.
Jiang is still quite a distance away from the gap. If it were any other offensive player, Kanter probably wouldn't have the idea of passing the ball.
But now on his left is Jiang Yuan!
If it’s Jiang Yuan… then you can definitely give it a try!
Keep your center of gravity steady and pass the ball directly to the goal while running!
boom!
!!!
"Kante, pass the ball straight forward!"
“A very large lead time!”
"..."
He Wei suddenly fell silent, because from a God's perspective, Kante's ball was completely given to the opponent's defender.
Did he run too fast and misfire the pass?
Just when the commentator and fans were confused, Jiang Yuan, who was running, completed his second acceleration and ran directly to Klavan with a few big steps.
what! ?
Klavan knew something was wrong and was about to reach out to pull Jiang Yuan, but Jiang Yuan retracted his right hand and didn't let Klavan pull him!
Done!
This was the only thought in Krawan's mind at this moment.
It seems like he is the last player to be protected!
After getting rid of Klavan, Jiang Yuan was still about 10 meters away from Kante's through ball.
No matter what else, keep speeding up and get the ball first.
Then start moving towards the middle!
This was indeed a one-on-one opportunity, but there was good news for Liverpool fans, that was Klavan was not the last player to fall back to protect, Moreno was right next to Jiang Yuan.
However, Jiang Yuan is now not far from the goal, and is facing the goal.
Moreno is given a red card as soon as he reaches out!
Gotta find a way!
Jiang Yuan reacted quickly. If he had made a direct tackle, he would probably have been sent off. Moreno could only stick to Jiang Yuan's body and run with him.
Block Jiang Yuan's shooting route to the right, so that goalkeeper Mignolet only needs to block one path!
"Jiang Yuan!"
"Come to the top of the arc!"
