At Anfield Stadium, the fans of the two teams cheered and rushed. The game on the field seemed one-sided from the scene!

Liverpool's half-court offensive and defensive drill!

However, it is difficult for Liverpool to enter the dangerous area of ​​30 yards in front of Chelsea.

Mourinho sets the principle for Chelsea that he will never grab, and he will not grab after the clearance. Unless Liverpool makes a mistake in the offensive stage or is directly intercepted, Chelsea will organize a counterattack!

But what is the counterattack like?

In the 9th minute of the game, when Coutinho responded to Robertson's pass from the left in front of the penalty area and tried to control the ball and widen the distance from Lampard, Lampard stabbed the ball away. At this time, Mikel stepped forward and passed the ball diagonally to Ramirez on the right.

Ramirez immediately dribbled the ball and pushed forward quickly to instigate a counterattack. When he saw Kante rushing towards him quickly, Ramirez decisively passed the ball to the right of the frontcourt.

Hazard had already run from the middle to the right to pick up.

During this process, Situ Yunbing carefully observed whether the players at other positions in Chelsea were following up, but found that there was no!

This shows that Chelsea's counterattack today is at best investing two people!

Hazard is the sharp knife for the counterattack. The only one left is to see which side of the counterattack is easy to move. If the players on which side follow up, basically, they can only be William or Ramirez, because other players are not good. Lampard is old and cannot come back after going up. Mikel is slow and cannot come back after going up!

Situ Yunbing felt a little relieved.

After Hazard controlled the ball from the side, he changed direction and rushed to Liverpool's penalty area. When he was intercepted by Benatia outside the penalty area, he spiked the ball and then moved towards the middle. He could not push forward along the outside line, which would only push out from the bottom line and would lose the offensive opportunity.

However, Ramirez did not quickly forward and ran to Hazard's front or parallel position, but only observed the opportunity in the rear. If there was obvious gap, he would definitely follow up, but under the guidance of Casemiro and Kante, he would not try it easily.

After all, Hazard has only one way to fight alone to slam Liverpool’s defense line, relying on his personal ability!

But he was instantly intercepted by Van Dijk after passing Benatia!

Liverpool resolves danger.

Hazard sighed to the sky helplessly, then turned around and immediately chased and snatched back.

Chelsea's counterattack today is a desire to break out in the cracks.

Liverpool found that Ramirez was quickly retreating when he turned from defense to offense, and their defensive formation was still very complete and strict!

In this case, Liverpool has no fast break or counterattack to play.

This is definitely a game that tests both sides' mentality. If anyone can't hold back or makes mistakes in the confrontation, he may give his opponent a chance to hit him with a fatal blow.

Situ Yun's troops were as heavy as water. Chelsea's strategy actually curbed many of Liverpool's advantages, such as speed, a team that quickly passes and cuts within a small range, and a time difference in the adjustment of the defense line by good at continuous attacks against opponents. These have prevented Chelsea from using absolutely static and conservative tactics!

So if Liverpool wants to break through Chelsea's defense, they still have to rely on three axes that break intensive defense, set pieces, long shots, and personal breakthroughs!

Basically, there is no hope for personal breakthroughs, because most of Liverpool’s stars are good at breaking through big openings and closings, and what they need is space, unlike Messi’s breakthrough method that can continuously stop and change direction within a small range.

All that can be relied on is set pieces and long shots.

However, Chelsea's tight protection in the middle, which allowed Liverpool's long-range shots to hit, but the threat was reduced a lot in the end.

After another 10 minutes of the game, Liverpool only had two long shots, one of which hit the goal range, but the angle was too straight and there was no threat.

Chelsea's defense line is airtight with super tactical execution rates.

Mourinho also looks uneasy. Chelsea's style of play seems foolproof, but if you are not afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of something!

A small mistake may cause the entire team's efforts to waste.

Liverpool had to do more in the offense on the wing. Suarez took the initiative to move to the wing to meet, and Gerald would also tend to form small-scale support points on the wing to make Liverpool's local cooperation more layered.

In the 27th minute of the game, Liverpool passed the ball continuously on the right side of the frontcourt to attract Chelsea's defense line to tilt. When both Chelsea midfielders retreated at the edge of the penalty area, it was almost impossible for Liverpool to break through this side. So Gareth Bale kicked the ball back to Azpilicueta, who quickly transferred the ball to the middle. Kante stepped forward to support the ball and then pushed the ball to the left. Ramirez went to press Coutinho, who blocked the ball diagonally in front of the bottom line of the side, and Robertson inserted the ball and wrigged the ball across the cross!

Seeing that there was hope to break through the defense line on Chelsea's side, Terry came up again, which made Robertson almost unable to find the cross route, so he could only helplessly knock the ball back to the side.

Coutinho, who pulled to the outside of the wing, stopped the ball and retreated two steps before hitting the ball across the middle. Kanter had no way to continue the attack, so he could only adjust one step and shoot a long shot!

The football flew into the stands.

Liverpool's offensive gives people the feeling that they are changing their various styles of play to try to threaten their opponent's goal, but there are too many Chelsea defenders in the backcourt!

As a result, no matter how you transfer the offense to tear the opponent's defense, Chelsea can always quickly fill in the flaws, which puts Liverpool in a certain amount of pressure, because once you lose the ball in the offensive organizational link, Chelsea can fight forward on the spot, and there is a vast space for counterattack ahead!

In the 32nd minute of the game, Liverpool's offense Coutinho tried to give Suarez a straight pass. The pass was already very sudden, but it was still intercepted by David Luis.

Chelsea quickly overtook the ball to the wing in front of the penalty area, and William passed the ball straight from the left side of the backcourt.

Hazard pulled the ball from the left side in front of the center line and turned to push forward the forward dribbler. Kante immediately rushed to intercept him fiercely. Hazard was about to meet and chop the ball behind his left foot and turned into the middle. Then what caught his eye was Casemiro's foot and intercepted the ball. He hit the ball again. Although the ball was passing, he was not strong enough to keep up. Van Dijk stepped forward and easily intercepted the ball.

In this environment with sufficient space, Hazard's personal abilities can still be fully reflected.

However, Chelsea weakened its offensive investment in order to make up for the defensive efficiency of the defense line, and indeed put Hazard in a situation of fighting alone.

Mourinho still looked serious and there was no fluctuation at all!

In the eyes of fans, Chelsea may have a broad space for counterattack. If Hazard can have more than one or two people to support, it will be easy to break through Liverpool's defense line, but in fact it is not the case, because it does not mean there is a chance to counterattack. Even if you shoot, you will definitely make an inch!

Once Liverpool successfully defends and turns around to play Chelsea’s defense, Liverpool’s success rate will also increase significantly!

Mourinho is unwilling to do such things as Bo probability. He is more willing to see his opponent's mentality be unbalanced and reveal his life goal to counterattack the increase in the threat while not weakening his own defense!

Liverpool fans have hardly seen Situ Yunbing so focused on the sidelines and seem to be in trouble thinking.

Situ Yunbing, who had his hands in his bags, seemed to be as motionless as a sculpture, but his slightly frown brow revealed that his inner emotions were actually a bit complicated.

Liverpool now gives people the feeling that they are running very positively, cooperating very positively, and trying to intersperse and try to create threats. However, Chelsea is using static to prevent them, but Chelsea is in order, while Liverpool, which actively creates threats, is very inefficient!

In the 38th minute of the game, Liverpool tried to pass directly from the side, and Suarez penetrated diagonally into the right rib of the penalty area. With Louis and Cahill coming together to block the position, Suarez was finally able to be shot and watched the football roll out of the bottom line.

Suarez's performance was also limited.

Chelsea's stable defense has made the Blues fans cheer even more!

They firmly believe that Mourinho can bring them victory, no matter how ugly they play.

It is a matter for fans as the audience to measure football with beauty and ugliness. As the head coach, Situ Yunbing never analyzes and criticizes football from such an angle.

After all, football is a result-based competition, not a beauty pageant with winning scores.

Chelsea's playing style has brought trouble to Liverpool, and at the same time it also made Situ Yunbing accelerate his brain and think about how to break the deadlock.

He currently has two options.

The first is to win at home!

In the knockout round in two rounds, if you don’t fight at home, it will be very irrational to fight away games.

But from a psychological point of view, if Liverpool can accept a 0-0 draw at home, as long as they do not have an imbalance in their mentality, they will be able to take the lead in the away game to a certain extent when they fight at Stamford Bridge in the next round. They will fight with Chelsea with the idea of ​​playing a penalty shootout, and see who can stand up better!

In other words, if Liverpool doesn't want to win, no one can beat them!

But this requires destiny to luck!

The stronger the team, the less willing the penalty kick roulette.

Situ Yunbing now weighs these two options which one should he choose during the intermission.

There is only one chance. If you cannot convey tactical requirements and orders to the players decisively and accurately during the break, it is likely that Liverpool will be the first to lose his position in the second half.

Because he has no doubt that Mourinho will let the team continue to stick to the current tactics in the second half, as long as the score does not change during the halftime break.

When the 44th minute of the game, Robertson made a 45-degree cross from the side. Gareth Bale nodded after the penalty area to compete for the header and was rubbed by Louis first and flew out of the baseline. Situ Yunbing's brows unfolded and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

His players trust him, not expecting him to hand over his fate to the goddess of luck!

spell!
