() With the whistle of referee Riley, the 21st round of the 04-05 Premier League season officially started at Anfield.

Soon after, Liverpool used home advantage and Pongele's pace to cause problems for Chelsea's defence.

But the Blues' solid defensive presence and the aggressive runs of John Terry and Claude Makelele were enough to neutralise Liverpool's penetration, so much so that Cech had not touched the ball in the opening five minutes.

Mourinho looked at ease on the sidelines, with an expression of "I had expected it a long time ago".

After Liverpool's match with Arsenal, almost all Premier League coaches have studied how to deal with Liverpool's "goalkeeper" formation. For this reason, running more aggressively than the Reds and passing the ball more decisively has become a training course for many teams.

But that's not a big deal at all for Jose Mourinho and his Chelsea.

Among the backfield players, there are Makelele, who can steal and break, and Terry, who can pass and block. Coupled with Frank Lampard's defensive focus, it was easy for the Blues to do just two things in their own half.

What's more, Robben, Drogba and Duff, three players who can run suddenly, hang near the midfield, like three time bombs tied to Liverpool, which may detonate the field at any time.

But the Red Army's high position is still not so easy to crack when it is full of physical strength.

In the sixth minute, Gerrard successfully counter-attacked after Alonso lost the ball, and immediately launched a counter-attack after cutting off Gallas's ball.

However, as soon as he took two steps, Terry rushed diagonally and fell to the ground, scooping the ball down.

It was the first head-to-head meeting between the captains and a well-placed free-kick for Liverpool.

In the opening minutes, Liverpool won a well-placed free-kick, which made Mourinho frown slightly.

Liverpool's opening high press was expected by him, and the experienced players followed the instructions and did not take their feet lightly. Even the fouls were on the fringe, not giving Liverpool a chance to take a direct free-kick.

But this time, their foul was on the left side of the middle, and it was Terry's "last resort".

That's not good!

Looking at the current mental outlook of Liverpool, if it continues like this, it may really be "successful in stealing chickens" by Liverpool. When the time comes, Liverpool will play to the death, and Chelsea will not be comfortable.

The free-kick he created himself was taken by himself, and Gerrard glanced at his teammates in the box and got up decisively.

The ball slashed through a beautiful arc into the far corner of the player, and on the goalline, Cech jumped up slightly, only to reach out and "taste it". The ball grazed the crossbar and flew out of bounds, and Chelsea 'escaped'.

Steven Gerrard's free-kick is difficult to guard against, that's the consensus of all managers in the Premier League. And maybe with the current formation of Bei Bald, maybe the direct set-piece is the main means of attack!

I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet?

Even with Cech, Mourinho can't believe he can be perfect.

Gerrard's missed free-kick did not discourage the Reds, on the contrary, the Reds fans in attendance were thrilled after seeing the captain's good quality free-kick.

Chelsea?

An upstart only!

These two seasons have just risen, and the goalkeeper you rely on is on our side again, what do you use to win us?

With the superiority of the old giants, the Reds fans all stood up, opened their mouths one by one, and sang the team song.

At Anfield, there is a maximum of five minutes between tunes that you will never walk alone.

In the 13th minute, Liverpool's opening onslaught almost paid off.

French full-back Traore cut the ball up front for Pongele, who returned the ball from the edge of the box, but Traore's one-two shot was blocked with his foot by the well-timed Cech, and the Czech teenager proved his worth once again.

Seeing that the time was almost as the time passed, Chelsea gradually stepped up their attack.

In the 18th minute, Frank Lampard tackled Alonso in midfield, who went to the ground and was clearly injured.

But Lampard ignored Alonso, who fell to the ground behind him, or rather didn't see Alonso's painful look on his face at all. Coupled with the fact that referee Riley did not give any penalty, Lampard pushed with his right foot and put the ball at the feet of Robben.

The Dutchman dribbled through with the ball, but just when it was thought he was going to cut inside and rush into the box, Robben stopped the ball and kicked it back into the middle.

When almost all the Reds' attention was focused on the blonde young man who had lost his head, his boccia ball was so fast and fast that Hyypia and the others couldn't react at all.

The ball rolled to the top of the arc of the Liverpool penalty area, and a tall and powerful black man suddenly came out from the side of the camera, and met the ball with a powerful low shot.

The ball flew fast against the ground, dodging all the Reds defenders and heading straight for Liverpool.

When approaching the goal, the ball bounced off the ground several times in succession, making the flight trajectory more and more unpredictable.

For most goalkeepers, bouncing the ball is like a nightmare. No matter what it touches, the rebound or the sudden change in the flight trajectory will most likely catch the goalkeeper off guard.

But this is not difficult for Tang Wu!

Tang Wu, who was highly focused, had long anticipated Drogba's shot, and after judging the general direction of the ball, he shifted his focus to that side.

Tang Wu's eyes and brain then resemble video receivers and processors, analyzing the condition of the ball on and off and the turf in front of it. As long as there are no foreign objects such as stones halfway....

Tang Wu's eyes flashed suddenly, his center of gravity pressed down, and he fell to the ground and flew out sideways.

Faced with such a rebound ball, Tang Wu did not take the risk to catch it, but directly stretched out his arm, accurately pushed the ball on the ball with both palms, and pushed the ball out of the bottom line.

Very reasonable save!

Neither rushed to pick it up, nor did it pounce the ball back into the field.

This wonderful save fully revealed that Tang Wu has characteristics that do not match his age - calm, calm, reasonable, and correct judgment.

After the ball flew out of the bottom line, Tang Wu immediately got up from the turf. However, instead of directing his team-mates to set up, he ran towards Frank Lampard as he cut forward.

"Hey, Frank, has your head been taken over by sperms? Someone got hurt and you didn't see it? ”

Frank Lampard turned around and saw Alonso on the ground. When he looked at Tang Wu again, his face was full of embarrassment.

However, Tang Wu's scolding still did not stop, but continued to shout at Robben, who gave the assist: "Bald boy, you violate sportsmanship like this again, be careful that I really let you 'burst eggs'!" ”

At the beginning of '04, Robben almost got G-pill cancer, which scared him a lot.

After he recovered, he was very protective of his balls at all times.

So Tang Wu's threat couldn't help but make his crotch chill, and he believed that the Chelsea "senior" in front of him could do what he could. Whether it was the two of them as team-mates at Chelsea for a short time, or the first half of the league game, the six-fingered goalkeeper did leave a huge psychological shadow on Robben.

Even if the two are no longer teammates, in the face of Tang Wu's reprimand, Robben was silent and bowed his head silently.

Robben's well-behaved look didn't soothe Tang Wu's anger, and when he turned his gaze to the last Chelsea player to touch the ball, his gaze had already become cold.

When the black beast of tropical Côte d'Ivoire met Tang Wu's indifferent gaze, it was as if his cheeks had been blown by the cold wind of Siberia.

"Hey, big black. The next time you're so reckless and unsportsmanlike, I'll let you know what it's like to spend a season in the hospital! ”

"I do what I say!"
