February 1, 2009, Anfield Stadium, Liverpool, England.
There is a sea of people here today, and the fans wearing red are like red sea water, turning the entire Anfield stadium into a red ocean. And the small piece of blue camp looks a bit insignificant, the gap is too big
Big.
However, Chelsea fans have no stage fright at all. They cheer for the team crazily, as if this is their own home court. They completely regard this place as their territory, mainly against visitors, and don't care at all that this is where they are.
What Devils home ground is Anfield.
This game is very important for both sides. No one can afford to lose. The two teams are fully prepared for this game. Now the two teams are waiting for the game to start.
"Hello, viewers, this is Sky Sports. Today we bring you a focus match in the 24th round of the 2008-2009 English Premier League. The two sides are the Red Army Liverpool and the Blues.
Chelsea." Sky Sports commentator Tim Laursen immediately stood up and said.
"This is definitely a wonderful game. No one on either side wants to lose." Sky Sports commentator Gary Lineker immediately brushed up his presence, "Now the players from both sides have appeared."
Sky Sports commentator Tim Laursen immediately said: "Let us introduce to you the starting lineups of both sides today. First, let me introduce to you the starting lineup of today's home team Liverpool.
Sky Sports commentator Tim Laursen immediately said: "Today Benitez arranged a 4-2-3-1 formation, which is exactly the same as the last League Cup match against Chelsea. It seems that Benitez
Si is very confident in this formation. He believes that this formation can definitely restrain Chelsea. The goalkeeper position is still Liverpool’s main goalkeeper Spaniard Reina.”
"The back four are Arveroa, Daniel Agger, Joel Luca and Luke Young. The changes in the defense are very big. It seems that this is affected by Carragher's injury.
Skrtel, who was introduced during the winter transfer period, did not appear in the starting lineup, but sat on the bench." Sky Sports commentator Tim Laursen said.
"And Ferdinand's current prospects in the Liverpool team do not seem to be ideal. Today, when Carragher was injured, he still did not gain the trust of Rafael Benitez, but let the full-back Joel Luka appear.
In the central defender position." Sky Sports commentator Tim Laursen said.
"In terms of the double defensive midfielder position, today Benitez chose the partnership of Gerrard and Mascherano." Sky Sports commentator Tim Laursen was slightly surprised, "Because Xavi?
Alonso was injured unexpectedly and he needs to rest for a while, so now it is up to Gerrard and Mascherano to act as the defensive midfielder combination."
"And now there is very bad news that Real Madrid seems to have injured the Spanish midfielder Xabi Alonso in Liverpool's team. They are preparing to pack Xavi Alonso during the summer transfer period.
Suo and Chris, this is definitely not a good thing for Benitez." Tim Laursen worried.
"In the three forward positions, there are Kuyt, Chris Chiu and Arshavin." Sky Sports commentator Tim Laursen continued, "Half a season has passed, and the Russian Tsar is the most important player in Liverpool.
The better the better, the performance is very good, maybe he will play an important role today!"
"The one at the top is still the center Fernando Torres from Spain." Sky Sports commentator Tim Laursen continued, "Fernando Torres has been in a very good mood recently. This guy is in European football.
The selection of Mr. and World Footballer has attracted a lot of attention. Nowadays, people are in high spirits during happy events. I wonder if I can perform well today?"
"Okay! Tim has introduced Liverpool's starting lineup to everyone, and now I will introduce to you the visiting team Chelsea's starting lineup today." Sky Sports football commentator Gary Lineker said immediately.
"Chelsea coach Luiz Felipe Scolari set up a 4-2-3-1 formation today," Sky Sports commentator Gary Lineker said. "Of course the goalkeeper is Czech goalkeeper Petr Cech.
Yes, there is no suspense."
"The four people in the defense are Bosingwa, Ricardo Carvalho, John Terry and Paulo Ferreira. Chelsea's Ashley Cole did not appear in the game today for some unknown reason.
"Perhaps Scolari believes more in Portuguese players." Sky Sports commentator Gary Lineker was a little surprised.
"In the double defensive midfield position, there are Deco and Michael Ballack." Sky Sports commentator Gary Lineker said, "This defensive midfielder line looks very flexible, both of them can attack.
Definitely, very good."
"The three people on the forward line are Malouda, Lampard and Essien." Sky Sports commentator Gary Lineker said, "This is the same arrangement as the first round of the season between the two sides.
, it seems that Essien is still aiming for Arshavin, but Essien’s performance in the first round between the two sides was not particularly ideal. I wonder what will happen today?”
"The one at the front is the African monster Didier Drogba." Sky Sports commentator Gary Lineker said, "Looking at the lineup sent by Scolari, we know that Chelsea's midfielder
The defense is very strong, it seems Chelsea is trying to contain the performance of Liverpool's most powerful midfielder!"
"Okay, at this time, we have introduced the starting lineups of both sides. Now the game is about to begin. Let's focus on the game." Sky Sports commentator Tim Laurson said immediately
.
"Okay, the players from both sides have already appeared, and the game is about to start." Sky Sports commentator Tim Laursen said.
Today is the home court of Liverpool. Of course, the captain of Liverpool will not worry about the scene where he was teased by the ball boy at Stamford Bridge last season. This has become a laughing stock of Gerrard, and people still often say,
Talk about it with pleasure.
The Chelsea players who came from afar also seemed particularly cautious today. They didn't want to be as ugly as Gerrard and become the butt of jokes after dinner.
At this time, the players from both sides immediately divided into two halves, preparing for the start of the game. The captains of the two teams followed the referee to pick sides. Soon the captains of the two teams came back. Liverpool was unlucky today.
Well, the ball was taken away by the damn Chelsea people.
"Okay, audience friends, please hold your breath, this game is about to start, and the first one to kick off should be the home team Chelsea." Sky Sports commentator Tim Laursen said immediately.
"Beep!" the referee blew the whistle to start the game.
Didier Drogba, the African monster standing in the center circle, lightly touched the football and then rushed towards the Liverpool half. Lampard in the center circle immediately passed the football back to Deco in the midfield.
Then he slowly ran towards Liverpool's half.
"Okay! The referee blew the whistle to start the game, and the home team Chelsea kicked off first." Sky Sports commentator Tim Laursen said. "Chelsea is wearing their traditional blue today.
The jersey is attacking from the left side of the TV screen to the right. The visiting team Liverpool is wearing their traditional red jersey, and they are attacking from the right side of the TV screen to the left."
As the referee's whistle sounded, the match between Chelsea and Liverpool officially began. A deafening cheers immediately erupted in the Anfield Stadium. Fans from both sides burst out with the hottest shouts to welcome the game. The Anfield Stadium reached
The first climax of the day.
After Deco came to Chelsea, with the support of head coach Scolari, he immediately became the core of Chelsea's midfield and the engine of the midfield. However, Deco's performance at Chelsea was not very satisfactory. Although Deco
Occasionally there are amazing performances, but the stability is not good and the performance is good and bad sometimes.
However, Deco was in good shape today, and he could feel it himself. As soon as he got the ball, he looked up at Didier Drogba, who was rushing forward in the frontcourt, and then he immediately kicked towards
Football, a big foot drove the football towards Drogba's path.
Deco passed the ball very well, with the right speed, strength and angle, which allowed Drogba to stop very comfortably.
Drogba mentally gave Deco a thumbs up. At the same time, he dunked his foot directly over the rushing Liverpool midfielder Gerrard. Then he pushed the football forward, and then directly in front of the penalty area.
Take a long shot.
"Long shot! Didier Drogba!" Sky Sports commentator Tim Laursen roared loudly, startling the Liverpool fans.
"Ah!" Seeing Chelsea forward Drogba suddenly take a shot, the Liverpool fans at the scene were shocked and screamed. They never expected that Chelsea's first shot came so quickly.
Was stunned.
The Chelsea fans who came from afar were extremely excited. They jumped up crazily, raised their hands high, and stared at the fast-flying football. Their hearts were full of prayers, hoping that the ball could be smashed.
Liverpool's goal.
Quick! Chelsea's first attack and first shot came so fast that even the Liverpool players on the field did not react, especially Liverpool goalkeeper Reina in front of the goal. At this time,
He was unprepared.
Seeing the football flying over, Reina was pounding in his heart. He immediately started moving in a hurry, opening his teeth and claws like a funny big crab. This made the Liverpool fans at the scene even more frightened.
Is this the rhythm of conceding a goal? This game has just begun. Oh my God. Liverpool fans felt sad and worried for a while. Liverpool coach Benitez on the sidelines was even more worried.
Is this going to be a bad start?
Boom! There was a loud noise, and the football flew out from Drogba's feet like a cannonball and flew straight towards Liverpool's goal.
"Danger!" The commentator of the local sports TV station in Liverpool roared in horror when he saw the football flying towards the Liverpool goal like a meteor falling in the night sky. This made the Liverpool fans in front of the TV even more nervous.
