On the afternoon of October 26, Cheshire.

Cristiano Ronaldo sat on the sofa in the living room of his villa, watching the Premier League live broadcast on the TV in the middle of the game, which was the highlight of the ninth round of the Premier League, when Liverpool took on Chelsea.

At this time, a crisp whistle came out of the TV, and Howard Webb blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

Both teams were clearly unhappy with the first-half result, and Sky TV's live camera was focused on Yang Yang, who also looked depressed.

'Yang Yang worked very hard in the first half, but unfortunately Scolari laid a heavy force on his side.

'Chelsea's attack is really problematic at the moment, and it has been revealed that Scolari has made it clear that Chelsea management will bring in reinforcements during the winter break, and he is targeting Italian talent Balotelli who plays for Inter Milan, who is not in a very good position at the moment.

'Inter Milan boss Jose Mourinho clearly didn't trust Balotelli and after the draw with Genoa, Mourinho criticised Balotelli for not doing what he asked him to do, which opened Chelsea's eyes to the possibility of poaching the Italian talent.

'But in terms of this game, Chelsea defended quite well.

'On the right flank, Bosingwa couldn't defend Yang Yang alone, but Carvalho was always behind his compatriot, and Frank Lampard dropped back so often that Chelsea's entire defense on the right side was solid.

'Yang Yang seemed to be very diligent in the game, but unfortunately, he faced an impregnable wall against Chelsea.

……

Listening to Andy Gray's commentary on TV, Xiao Xiaoluo's mood is obviously better.

A month ago, he travelled with Manchester United to play Chelsea and was confronted with the same problems that Liverpool are facing now.

Although the Blues have changed managers frequently, in fact, the structure in the bones is still the same as Mourinho at that time, after Scolari came to power, he brought in Deco, obviously to strengthen the team's passing and control, and inject delicacy into the original strong style of play.

But the results were not satisfactory.

'Benitez defended very solidly and apart from Deco's long-range shot, Chelsea really didn't get too many chances, and even shot directly at goal.

Portuguese agent Jorge Mendes made a special trip to Manchester yesterday to receive a call from Cristiano Ronaldo, who came to discuss the problems he is currently experiencing, as well as the two awards in December.

If Yang Yang took the best striker in the UEFA annual awards, but Xiao Xiaoluo still won the best player with the most weight, which is a faint overpower of the opponent, then in the recently announced FIFPro Player of the Season selection, Yang Yang's election is undoubtedly a blow to the Portuguese's momentum.

Although this award has only been established for three or four years, it is still an international award.

Not to mention anything else, after the photo was taken, it was posted on the official website, and then sent to major media around the world, and it immediately became the front page headline of major media around the world, and everyone knew that Yang Yang took away this award, which was regarded as a weather vane, which was quite unfavorable to Xiao Xiaoluo.

After Mendes arrived in Manchester yesterday, Manchester United was away to Everton, and the two sides played out 1-1, with Fletcher scoring and Ronaldo still in the slump.

It's a bit like Yang Yang at the beginning of this year!

However, after watching the first half of Liverpool's play against Chelsea today, it is estimated that Xiao Xiaoluo's mood will be much better.

'Chelsea are probably out of action this season.' Xiao Xiao Luo shook his head.

"Is this a judgment within Manchester United?"

"Although the league has only played a few rounds so far, in fact a lot of problems have been exposed, Chelsea's attack is so bad, without attacking, they can't play a threat at all, and they have encountered a hurdle this season. ”

"Can?"

"They're starting to like to play with passing and pressing, but when you come against a team that can keep a tight defensive position under their passing and pressing, they can't do anything about it, so they've dropped a lot of points this season."

A 1-1 draw at home to Tottenham Hotspur, a 1-1 draw at home to Manchester United, a hard-fought win away to Wigan Athletic, and even a 3-1 away win over Manchester City were all thrilling plays.

It's fair to say that Chelsea's problems are on the brink and they won't be easy to solve.

Scolari says Chelsea's problems can be solved when Drogba returns, but in reality, Drogba has never been a player known for his scoring efficiency, but Chelsea are now lacking a good and solid scorer.

"The old man said that this year's Chelsea is very similar to Liverpool before them, lacking consistent scorers and at the same time lacking wide players, and even he can't understand why Chelsea would sell all their wingers in one go?"

When Mendes heard this, he suddenly sneered for no reason, "Perhaps, in their eyes, clearing the winger means clearing the traces left by Mourinho, but they don't know that this is driving themselves to a dead end." ”

In addition to being Ronaldo's agent, he is also Mourinho's agent, so naturally he has some complaints about Chelsea.

However, Chelsea's problems are really serious at the moment, especially when it comes to strong conversations, which will be more obvious.

Malouda is in the doldrums, Kalou is unstable, and after seeing off Arjen Robben, Duff and Wright Phillips in quick succession, Chelsea's once Premier League winger group has disappeared.

But the funny thing is that they are still playing four, three, three.

It can be seen from this that Mourinho's influence on this team is profound, and it can even be said to be in the bone marrow.

'The attack was lacklustre, but the defense was pretty good, and I fancy them to hold on to the second half and even have a chance to steal a goal.' Little Rohaha laughed.

From the first half, Chelsea controlled the situation, Liverpool defended passively, played a difficult game, and most importantly, Yang Yang was limited by Scolari's targeted tactics.

Don't think that Scolari is a Brazilian coach, just think that he should play passing control and offensive football, but as everyone knows, Scolari was able to lead the Brazilian team to win the World Cup in South Korea and Japan, and he is known for his conservative double back.

It's just that the 3R limelight was too strong back then, and the personal ability was too strong, which covered up this.

…………

…………

Chelsea are indeed struggling with manpower.

In the last game, Malouda only played half of the game and was taken by Scolari in midfield due to poor performance, but he did not expect to start again this time, because there was no one else available on the Chelsea wing.

However, the Blues still have an advantage on their home turf, combined with the overall strength of the squad.

The midfield, under the organization of Deco, attacked Liverpool again and again, especially after entering the second half, Chelsea began to strengthen the possession, taking the initiative to distribute the ball to the wings, trying to launch an attack from the wings.

But Liverpool's two wings, both Abelloa and Aurelio, were pretty well guarded and didn't give their opponents a chance.

Even if it barely gets into the box, without Didier Drogba, Chelsea's cross will be difficult to threaten.

Seeing that the situation remained unchanged in the second half, Benitez finally couldn't hold back and made a substitution adjustment in the 60th minute.

Gareth Bale replaced Crouch, who had been average in the game.

Before and after the Welsh wing, he still played the left winger position, but the original left winger Yang Yang let Benitez go to the front, and Kuyt and Gerrard still played their original positions.

There were also some changes in midfield, with Mascherano playing as solid as ever in the midfield, Xavi Alonso moving up the front, and Rafael Benitez also giving instructions to press forward appropriately.

"We've given the opponent too many chances to possess the ball, press it out for me!"

Putting Yang Yang at the front is not to let him play as a tactical centre-forward, but to give him more freedom to play, to run, to find holes in the Chelsea defence, rather than being limited to the left.

Yang Yang was quick to return the favor, creating a threat after just two minutes, and after linking up with Gareth Bale on the left rib, he was given a free-kick opportunity, and he took it himself.

As a result, it hit the right post directly and bounced back into the box, and Carvalho took the lead to clear the ball.

This made Yang Yang very angry, and the whole person jumped.

Cech didn't react at all to the ball, and if he had curled in a little bit more and it would have gone in.

Three minutes later, Yang Yang suddenly appeared on the right side, combined with Kuyt, and was about to cross after winning the ball, but was fouled by Ashley Cole and could no longer create a threat.

In the 77th minute, Gerrard's header in the middle was ferried, Yang Yang grabbed the ball before Mikel and Carvalho, suddenly turned to get rid of it, and directly got up and hit a long-range shot, which scared everyone at Chelsea, and Cech even flew to save.

But unfortunately, this long-range shot went slightly wide of the post and missed the goal again.

Although Liverpool were at a disadvantage in possession, they gradually created opportunities in the attacking end, and Scolari quickly realized this and immediately made substitution adjustments, just to force Liverpool's counterattack down.

As a result, Belletti replaced Malouda and Di Santo replaced Kalou, and Chelsea began to change their strategy and strengthen their midfield defence.

Scolari's strategy is obvious, this is Stamford Bridge, and it is a strong dialogue, he would rather draw 0-0 than give Liverpool any chance, especially Yang Yang, must be completely suppressed.

Even if you are a wild dragon crossing the river, you have to bow your head to me when you reach my territory!

…………

…………

Minutes and seconds passed.

Seeing that the situation was still deadlocked after jumping into eighty minutes, Cristiano Ronaldo, who was far away in Cheshire, couldn't help but relax now after being nervous for a while.

"It's pretty much the same, Scolari won't give him a chance."

He even wondered if he should call Scolari after the game and thank him.

Scolari was the Portuguese national team manager before taking charge of Chelsea.
