Chapter 42: Chelsea
Chelsea's squad has not changed much compared to last season, but during this period, Didier Drogba suffered a minor injury and was officially suspended for two weeks, with Anelka set to become the starting striker. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Didier Drogba's injuries are a smokescreen, perhaps an off-the-board move prepared by Chelsea to deal with Champions League opponents.
However, it is a good thing for Liverpool that Didier Drogba is not in the Chelsea squad.
In recent games, compared to Liverpool and Manchester United, Chelsea have not gone smoothly.
At present, Liverpool has a record of one draw and seven wins, and is at the top of the standings with 22 points.
Chelsea are second with 17 points, but Manchester United, who are in third, are also on 17 points, almost catching up.
It seems that Abu feels that he has won too many league titles and wants to win the Champions League once, which is why Chelsea will have such a performance recently.
In this game, Chelsea only have one less Drogba, while Liverpool are the main players.
In the third minute, shortly after the opening, Wang Zhen got the football outside the big penalty area, which was a very good position, and Wang Zhen shot directly with his feet.
Looking at the flying football, the commentator was happy: "According to local media reports in Liverpool, there are a lot of Liverpool's training balls on the Everton training ground recently, all of which are caused by Wang Zhen's practice of long-range shooting. ”
If reporters can really enter Melwood to shoot and learn about in-depth news, they will find that Wang Zhen is really an equipment terminator.
The walls of people who practice long-range free kicks are all plastic models, Wang Zhen has recently smashed seven or eight models, this thing, the general club has more than a dozen, folded at Wang Zhen's feet, is already half of the inventory.
On the one hand, the facility manager would love to see the team's top superstar practice regularly, but on the other hand, maintaining the equipment is a headache for him.
In the seventh minute, Nicolas Anelka led the way in Chelsea's attack.
However, just after halftime, Liverpool seized the opportunity to counterattack and immediately retreated.
'Tactically, Jose Mourinho's departure has had a huge impact on Chelsea's performance, Chelsea's squad is not weaker than or even stronger than Liverpool, but it can't play well.
Terry is still the same Terry, Wang Zhen has only felt 100% pressure when facing Terry so far in his career.
The two are very close in terms of height, weight, and athletic ability.
And what Wang Zhen is good at happens to be what Terry is proficient in defending.
At Mainz, he can also rely on a large number of attacking team-mates in midfield to break through Chelsea's defence.
But in Liverpool, Wang Zhen felt more pressure, and this pressure stemmed from the weakness of Liverpool's attack, and Wang Zhen's burden was heavier.
However, John Terry is not an all-around superman, and Chelsea are unable to give him a task to defend against Wang Zhen.
Therefore, this game is a good opportunity for Wang Zhen to test long-range artillery.
In the twelfth minute, Liverpool made a comeback, and after a few back-to-back shots, Gerrard took a long-range shot.
The thing of falling feet in the front court is also a change that only came after Wang Zhen came.
Liverpool are accustomed to breaking through the middle, and after adding the backfoot, they can barely pull the attack of the two wings into the system.
Although it is very reluctant, it will have an effect sometimes, Wang Zhen's position must be on the central axis, so Torres can only run to the side, and after these small tactics, Torres can sometimes receive passes directly from midfielders.
Gerrard's shot was blocked by Essien.
The loud sound makes people feel numb on the scalp, and if it is a thin player, he may be knocked down or even stunned by a kick.
After the ball popped up, Alonso and Daniel joined the wave of grabbing the ball.
There was a scuffle among the crowds, and the ball bounced out again, and finally Arbeloa got the ball.
Arbeloa made a clever evasion move and then pretended to pass the ball into the box on the left, but instead went straight to the middle.
Wang Zhen, who rushed out, got the ball smoothly, and the defense he faced was not Terry, but Deco.
With his back to Deco, Wang Zhen turned under his feet and successfully completed the turn, not a professional midfield defender, and it was difficult for Deco's defense to limit Wang Zhen.
The turn was very smooth, and then, Wang Zhen took advantage of the momentum to get up, raised his hands, was level with his shoulders, stabilized his body, pulled his right leg and thigh back, bent his knee, and blasted out.
The ball rises from the ground, flies to a height of two meters, and then no longer climbs, but jumps towards the goal.
"Beautiful!" With this shot, Wang Zhen felt very good.
However, Cech was also very precise in his position, almost overlapping the ball path.
Cech, who jumped on one leg, narrowly struck the ball over the crossbar with his fist.
In the corner kick, Terry found Wang Zhen, and in the struggle with Terry, Wang Zhen did not pick up the cheap, although he grabbed the landing point, but the ball that was pushed out was not threatening.
'Chelsea have done a very good job of defending in the penalty area and Liverpool are not in a small problem.
In this case, Wang Zhen could only forcibly choose to trust his teammates.
From the 17th minute onwards, all attacks in the first half will pass to their team-mates after passing through Wang Zhen's feet, unless Chelsea anticipate the defence in advance.
After controlling the ball, Wang Zhen really doesn't make mistakes often.
However, throughout the first half, his teammates did not take their chances.
The sudden change in the storm came very quickly.
At the beginning of the second half, Terry still chose to smash Wang Zhen, but at the beginning of the second half, his teammates obviously did not get into the groove.
Gerrard's ball was directly controlled by Wang Zhen, and when he hit Terry hard, Wang Zhen stabbed the ball out with his feet.
Cech thought the ball was likely to roll straight into the net and didn't hesitate to make a save.
However, Torres stabbed in diagonally to get his hands on the ball, and after taking two steps, he shot straight at goal to break the deadlock that lasted for 45 minutes.
In the 46th minute, Fernando Torres scored.
Once they were ahead, things were different again, it was Stamford Bridge, Chelsea's home stadium, and they were looking to pick up points.
So, Chelsea have attacked repeatedly.
As a result, in the 65th and 72nd minutes, Liverpool seized on Chelsea's mistakes in a row to launch counter-attacks.
In the 65th minute, Torres, who scored the first goal of the game, hit the plane.
In the seventy-second minute, Wang Zhen chose to come by himself, and after the feint made Terry feel that he would divide the ball, he did not hesitate, relying on this short opportunity of a few tenths of a second, and shot directly with his feet.
A shot from 16 meters can also be considered a long shot, or it can be counted as a shot from inside the penalty area.
Cech still guessed the right direction, but this time, he couldn't do it again.
Wang Zhen scored Liverpool's second goal of the game.
One pass and one shot, the performance was not bad, and in the end Liverpool relied on two goals to win the crucial battle at Chelsea's home stadium.
As the performance in the first half was not so good, the final best of the match was won by Gerrard, who played several occasions in attack.
Winning the best game when he doesn't score is something Gerrard rarely foresees.
This month is almost over.
The best player in September is Wang Zhen, and the best player in the Premier League in October basically belongs to Gerrard, which will also be the fifth time that Gerrard has won this honor and become the first person in the history of the Premier League.
After winning Chelsea, Liverpool are seven points clear of second-place Manchester United, who were held to a draw at home.
