675 Remember?

At Anfield Stadium, the battle between Liverpool and Chelsea is about to break out.

However, the live game was frequently directed at Lewandowski on Liverpool’s bench!

The Polish center, who just returned from injury, did not enter the starting lineup. The outside world is looking forward to him being able to make a appearance in this strong dialogue and test his strength in the Premier League.

But Situ Yunbing actually did not have the idea of ​​letting him appear in this game today, unless it was a forced situation.

Situ Yunbing and Mourinho both acted as if the enemy was concentrating.

Both of them understand that the significance of this game is higher than the outcome of the game itself!

Leaving the matter, Chelsea strengthened the midfield this summer. The joining of Fabregas and Matic instantly improved the Chelsea midfielder by a higher level. The two problems of defense and offensive organization were solved at the same time. Diego Costa's joining has also made Chelsea's troubling center position again with a striker!

Just by comparing Liverpool's starting lineup today with last season, you can know how serious the situation Liverpool is facing is.

Coutinho and Suarez, who were in front of Liverpool last season, were injured and the latter left.

Mahrez and Vardy, who started today, were obviously downgraded!

This alone can understand Situ Yunbing’s worries in the past half month.

If Liverpool is still close to its own limit, Chelsea is the same. If you want to make an upward breakthrough, the difficulty will be geometrically explosive!

So when they reach their level, there are only two possibilities to make a breakthrough. The first is skills and tactics, and the second is destiny!

If the former were not epoch-making changes, it would be difficult to make a difference, while the latter was favored by God for the team to be almost free of injuries and the team was in a state of great success!

Unfortunately, Liverpool is not doing well in both aspects this season.

The troubles of injury are obvious to all. On the technical and tactical level, if you want to talk about how many tricks you can play in battles every day, it must be a complete lineup. The key position always depends on substitutes and want to make new achievements. That would be really whimsical.

When he was fighting for Chelsea today, Situ Yunbing lowered his posture.

When the referee blew the whistle at the beginning of the game, Liverpool took the lead in attacking. Situ Yunbing focused on observing Chelsea's movements and seeing how they were on the away game today.

Gareth Bale returned to the left today to allow Mahrez to play a greater threat on the right.

In order to avoid Mahrez from the left, he will easily be surrounded and blocked by his opponent on the right.

When Eriksen passed the organization with Casemiro in the midfield, Chelsea's formation did not shrink significantly, which was somewhat different from the performance of Chelsea when the two teams met in the Champions League last season.

It seems that Mourinho is really confident.

In his second year of coaching Chelsea, after completing the lineup replacement, his defense, organization and offense against the team were sorted out in one go.

But even if Chelsea is in a strong upward period, Mourinho will not be able to go to Anfield Stadium and Shitu Yunbing to suddenly see the card.

In the opening stage, Chelsea's 433 is more like a 4231 defensive counterattack. This is their old profession. Mourinho wants to test the team's pressure, and see how capable Liverpool is now.

What I fear most about the stadium is that I think my opponent is weak and can rush up and swallow it in one bite. Unexpectedly, I wiped the tiger's butt and was torn to pieces by the backhand!

Matic, Fabregas, and Ramirez, the three of them have tacitly matched the joint defense in the middle and backcourt, which makes Liverpool's middle and no room for penetration. It is difficult for Eriksen to control the ball in the offensive dangerous areas, which forces Liverpool's offensive organization to be farther from the opponent's defense hinterland, and it will be difficult for the offense to play a more delicate small-scale transmission.

Liverpool first relies on Gareth Bale to see how he plays on the left.

When Garez Bale controls the ball on the left, Chelsea midfielder divides the team to defend the sideline, Fabregas defends Garez Bale in the line, Ivanovic defends with caution, and even if Garez Bale has the chance to pass, he can only be on the outside.

Gareth Bale had no room to start the explosion speed advantage, so he could only patiently seek cooperation with his teammates. When he saw Vardy's running position, he quickly sent a pick pass on the wing.

When Vardy had to spike the ball when touching the ball in the penalty area and rub Cahill, the latter took the lead in getting stuck and using his physical confrontation to complete the steal!

Liverpool failed to play for the first time.

Chelsea turned around and quickly launched a fast attack. Fabregas made a diagonal pass from the front of the penalty area to send the ball to the right of the midfield.

Oscar was pressed by Kanter as soon as he touched the ball.

When all three Chelsea midfielders stayed in the backcourt and the counterattack position was not ideal, Liverpool's midfield intercepted core Kanter to be relatively free.

Oscar barely knocked the ball back to the middle to find Ramirez. Under Eriksen's counter-attack pressure, Ramirez's intention to pass the ball to Hazard was too obvious, and Azpilicueta took the lead and stabbed the ball forward.

Mahrez, who was retreating to receive the ball, suddenly passed the ball with a long diagonal pass over the top, which was quite eye-catching!

Situ Yunbing was a little surprised.

If Gareth Bale understands this ball, then Chelsea's defense will indeed have time to use in a short period of time.

But Gareth Bale didn't have a good understanding of him after all, and it was too late to see the ball running again.

But he still ran away. When he was two meters away from the football landing point, he could only watch the football bounced on the ground and flew out of the bottom line.

"Mahrez's kick is very imaginative to the top pass in the middle, but Garez Bale is slow to start. Chelsea needs to be vigilant on the defense line and improve the quality of counterattack!"

Mourinho looked calm and did not show any concern about the situation on the court. Chelsea's overall defense looked good from the opening stage.

He is waiting and seeing how capable Liverpool is!

Chelsea's offense was relatively simple. Matic made a goal in the midfield to Fabregas, who was in the front, who sent a straight pass to find center Costa.

When Costa touched the ball, Koulibali rushed up and pressed him closely. Costa hit the ball with a diagonal knockback and sent the ball to Hazard's feet.

Hazard dribbled and advanced quickly, facing Azpilicueta, suddenly pivoted the ball and turned into the inward cutting track. At this time, Kante blocked him. Hazard calmly passed the ball across from the penalty area and went to the right.

When Oscar wanted to shoot, Robertson retried the middle to press. Oscar forced his kick and shot, but Robertson touched the ball and bounced out of the baseline.

Situ Yunbing glanced at Mourinho, and the other party made a helpless expression at him. Situ Yunbing raised a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth.

Basically, Liverpool's opponents are mainly crazy attacking this season, while Chelsea has not achieved the crazy investment in Liverpool's offensive efforts, but it is also very balanced. Only after leading, the posture has become slightly conservative, hoping to seize the opponent's rash and radical approach to equalize the score and play a counterattack advantage.

After the two teams met, Mourinho and Situ Yunbing were unwilling to give their opponents space to counterattack, so that their opponents could not play their counterattack advantage.

This is completely different from when we met in the first leg of the Champions League final last season. At that time, Chelsea defended the entire army and Liverpool was bombarded with extreme pressure.

Last season, Mourinho led a lame Blue Army, while Situ Yunbing's Red Army was at its peak.

The situation of the two teams is exactly the opposite now. Situ Yunbing is so clever that he can't cook without rice, while Mourinho is in the hands of the powerful soldiers.

But if the two teams are so afraid of each other and are extremely restrained on the offensive end, either it depends on the personal performance of the superstar, or it can only rely on luck to see if there will be some accidents to change the stalemate situation on the court from the beginning.

Liverpool's strongest skills and tactics this season are to use defense to shape offensive opportunities and give full play to the advantages of tough defensive strength in the midfield and backcourts. However, facing Chelsea, who is good at defense, it is difficult to use its advantages in such a way of play.

Moreover, in terms of player configuration, weakening of the offensive impact force is also one of the main reasons.

The two teams on the court have to go back and forth, and the midfielders are more eye-catching. Matic makes Eriksen unable to play a role in the front of the penalty area, while Kante is killing Hazard's threat.

In the 19th minute of the game, when Diego Costa received the pass from Ramirez in the frontcourt, he fought with Culibali. As a result, Culibali led the ball out of the sideline. Costa pushed Culibali with a small move, which almost made Culibali fall to the ground.

After standing firm, Kulibali turned around and looked at Costa. He did not go forward to argue with Costa, but stared at Costa with a fierce look in his eyes.

After seeing this, Costa's expression changed a bit strangely, and then he quietly retreated.

Three minutes later, when Mahrez was intercepted by Felipe Luis on the right side of the frontcourt, Luis directly cleared the ball with big feet.

When Costa was fighting for the header, Coolibali also jumped and fought for it, and the impact of jumping was obviously aimed at Costa's body. Costa was hit in mid-air and lost his balance and fell to the ground!

The referee came over to warn Coolibali and awarded Chelsea a free kick.

Coolibali spread his hands to the referee and said that he was going for the ball, and then took the initiative to bend down to show kindness to Costa. Costa reached out and patted him with the "hand of friendship". Coolibali didn't mind and said something to Costa.

"Did you remember it? If not, I can help you recall the memories!"

Costa swallowed with difficulty, and looked at Kulibali, who looked at him with a meaningful look while he was backing. Of course, he knew what Kulibali meant in his words!

At the end of last season, who caused Costa's injury?

Kulibali!
