At the Amsterdam Arena, the starters of Liverpool and Chelsea lined up on the court to conduct a pre-match kickoff ceremony. The players of both sides showed serious expressions, as if a life-and-death showdown was about to begin!

"Good evening for everyone, everyone. Welcome to the 2012-2013 UEFA Cup final. The final of this season will be held at the home court of Ajax Club in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The two teams that reached the final are Liverpool and Chelsea from the Premier League.

Liverpool just won the first Premier League championship in team history ten days ago. They must want to further expand their winning results this season. Chelsea experienced a turbulent season. After Rodgers was dismissed in the middle of the class, Benitez's coaching at Stamford Bridge has been bumpy all the way, but now they have the lead in the league's four-way competition.

Compared with Liverpool's decline, Chelsea has been in turmoil in the past two years and has experienced four coaches in two seasons, but they reached the European final last year and this year. Unfortunately, they lost to Hamburg, led by Liverpool's current coach Situ Yunbing in the Champions League final last year, and this year they met Liverpool led by Situ Yunbing in the UEFA Cup final.

According to the records of the two teams in the semi-finals of the Premier League and League Cup this season, Liverpool has an overwhelming record advantage over Chelsea, and they have won four consecutive victories, which can be said to have won four consecutive games!

I don’t know if Chelsea can rewrite the record in this critical and important final today!

Let's take a look at the starting lineup of the two teams today.

Liverpool starts 433.

Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen.

Defenders: Glenn Johnson, Scotter, Benatia, Robertson.

Midfielder: Eriksen, Coutinho, Casemiro.

Forwards: Gerald, Suarez, Gareth Bale.

Liverpool has already produced all the elite.

Chelsea's starting lineup today was also 433.

Goalkeeper: Cech.

Defenders: Ivanovic, David Louis, Cahill, Ashley Cole.

Midfielder: Ramirez, Lampard, Mikel.

Forwards: Mata, Torres, Hazard.

The two teams have completed the pre-match kickoff ceremony, and they will fight for the championship with real swords and guns. Who will win the championship trophy after the game?

Let's wait and see!"

The game officially began with the referee's whistle.

Chelsea took the lead in kicking off, and they seemed cautious. First, they passed back and forth in the midfield and backcourt to drive the overall rhythm and enter the game state. Liverpool stationed troops in the midfield and waited for the opponent's attack, and did not press the overall formation to force a crazy counterattack.

Be cautious in the finals and you will never make any big mistakes.

Chelsea's offense is relatively simple. When the ball is transferred to Hazard's feet on the left side of the frontcourt, he relies on Hazard to quickly attack in the frontcourt to find Torres for cooperation. Mata will move from the right to the middle to meet to form a local cooperation, while Chelsea's two midfield and backcourt lines are relatively conservative and restrained.

Hazard stopped in front of Johnson and wiped it with a cross-slicing direction, then looked at the goal, and then knocked the ball across to Mata in the middle when Casemiro rushed to block it.

Mata took the ball to find Torres who was in the offside.

He stuffed the ball over, but the power was a bit strong. Ter Stegen easily confiscated the ball after attacking.

Chelsea only relies on local cooperation in the frontcourt to create threats, which is a bit like a lonely palm.

However, they strengthened their defense and still formed a certain curb effect on Liverpool's offense.

Liverpool's first offense was declared dead after Gareth Bale cut across the wing and was broken by Ramirez after chasing and stretching his legs.

However, with the relatively fixed style of play between the two teams, Liverpool's counter-attack pressure in the frontcourt forced Chelsea to make it difficult to make the ball in the backcourt, so the passing success rate also began to plummet.

In the 10th minute of the game, Luis's long pass on the penalty area line was controlled by Casemiro in the midfield.

Liverpool then played a fast side and middle combination, and Gerrard responded from the right side of the frontcourt and then faced Ashley Cole, passing the ball diagonally in front of the penalty area to the right.

Suarez was attacked by Mikel when he took the initiative to respond in front of Cahill. He quickly kicked the ball back to find Erikson. Lampard immediately stepped forward to press Erikson.

The Danish midfielder made a shot and then passed the ball diagonally to the middle of the penalty area.

Coutinho inserted into place and sent out an overhead diagonal pass before Ramirez blocked it.

The football flew to the area behind Louis. He turned around and returned to chase. What caught his eye was Gareth Bale's strong cut inward, but due to the height of the football, Bale could only head the ball directly, and the space for stopping the ball on his chest was a little small.

The football he pushed out flew towards Chelsea's goal at the angle, and Cech took off directly and took the ball out of the air.

"Liverpool completed its first attack, headed by Gareth Bale. This ball failed to threaten, but Liverpool's ground pass and cut cooperation still made the mercury dip in an extremely pleasing way.

Chelsea's defense needs to shrink further."

Benitez did make adjustments on the sidelines, requiring the defense line to further squeeze space, making it difficult for Liverpool to have room for passing and cutting.

In the 14th minute of the game, Mata faced Robertson, who was actively robbing on the right side of the frontcourt and chose to cooperate with Torres in a wall.

Torres looks in good shape today, and at least a few touches are still very smooth and natural.

After Mata dribbled the ball down, he passed the ball across the penalty area and looked for Torres who was in front of the penalty area. The latter went to the right side of the penalty area and directly shot!

The goal was a bit barely attacking at a small angle, but it still shot straight within the goal range.

Ter Stegen blocked the goal and easily held the ball in his arms.

Chelsea also completed their first goal in today's final.

Since neither team has over-invested in offense, the pace of the game has not been raised yet, only Liverpool has a clear lead in offensive speed.

After trying some ground passes and cut off offensives, Chelsea tightened the fence wall, so Liverpool's offensive effect was not good.

Situ Yunbing decisively asked the team to change their playing style and try more long shots from the outside to see if they can bring tension and oppression to the Chelsea defense line.

In the 21st minute of the game, Mata was interfered by Robertson when receiving the ball in the frontcourt, causing the ball to be stopped. Casemiro quickly grabbed the ball from the side and completed the interception. After the interception, Casemiro immediately sent a straight pass.

Gareth Bale quickly dribbled the ball on the wing, Ramirez assisted in the defense of the wing, Lampard retreated and Mikel formed a double midfielder defense line, and Chelsea was familiar with the conservative defensive counterattack.

Gareth Bale passed the ball diagonally back to Coutinho when he was about to be attacked. The latter dribbled the ball and turned into the middle. When he was about to fall into the joint blockade between Lampard and Mikel, he knocked the ball across to Eriksen who was inserted.

The Danish midfielder immediately took a long shot after two steps forward.

The football that flew out like a shell hit Cahill's thigh and bounced out of the bottom line in the penalty area.

If Cahill doesn't stop it, this ball will definitely be very threatening.

Situ Yunbing applauded the team's performance and hoped that the team could continue to work hard.

Liverpool's tactical corner kick was taken, and Gerrard made a move from the side to pass the ball back to Glenn Johnson who rushed up to meet him, luring Hazard, who was defending him, to tilt the center of gravity of the defense. At this time, Gerrard pushed the ball further towards the bottom line and sent a horizontal pass.

Coutinho stepped forward and hinterland in the right rib of the penalty area and swept the ball across the front of the goal near the bottom line.

Suarez and Gareth Bale competed with each other, but Lampard, who was the first to retreat to the goal, blocked the ball from the bottom line at the critical moment!

After Lampard successfully cleared, he stood up and slapped Cech hard, and then made morale-boosting actions to his teammates!

Chelsea fans have even more cheering!

Because of their competitive relationship, they are enemies with Liverpool. In addition to the Situ Yunbing they hate, their attitude towards Liverpool has completely become almost mortal enemies!

"Lampard rescues the car in danger, otherwise Suarez and Gareth Bale will definitely seize this opportunity to make Chelsea's gate fall!

Already a veteran, Lampard is still contributing his strength to Chelsea Burning. He is a respectable fighter!”

Although Liverpool failed to hit a single blow, it did not affect their confidence and fighting spirit.

In the 29th minute of the game, when Torres took the initiative to retreat in the frontcourt and turned around to get rid of Casemiro's defense with a beautiful ball, he seemed to see the formerly lively and sharp Spanish Golden Boy!

After dribbling the ball to the front of the penalty area, Torres immediately knocked the ball to Hazard after restraining two Liverpool's central defenders.

This goal made Situ Yunbing frown slightly, and it seemed that Chelsea's forward line finally showed signs of fusion.

You can’t just rely on Hazard to conquer the world. Others should also create opportunities for him based on his creation!

Hazard ran wildly and cut inside and dribbled the ball quickly into the left rib of the penalty area!

When Scotter was unable to return to defense, Hazard took the lead and shot!

The football flew straight to the far corner of the goal, and Ter Stegen jumped to the extreme and blocked the ball in the right side of the penalty area with one hand!

Mata followed up and wanted to make a follow-up shot, but Benatia took the lead and swept the ball out of the sideline.

call!

All Liverpool fans were still scared!

"Wow! Ter Stegen made a world-class save!

Hazard almost penetrated the Liverpool goalkeeper's fingers!

How did Terstegen do it?

Hazard has done a good job of this goal. If it is better, it will be a shot with no solution to the angle.

Today’s Chelsea easily reminds us of the Chelsea team almost ten years ago, with strict defense, patiently waiting for the opportunity to counterattack, and more relying on wingers with strong personal abilities to solve the problem!
Chapter completed!
