At the start of the game, Chelsea opened the pitch and Liverpool took the initiative to put the pressure on.

According to Benitez's pre-match arrangement, the Reds' pressing area was mainly concentrated near the halfway line.

The two sides battled fiercely in this area, and the ball changed hands frequently in just 30 seconds.

In the 47th second, Wright Phillips managed to penetrate Liverpool's left side of the defence, quickly dribbled into the 30-metre area, and then crossed to the middle.

After Drogba won the ball, he was still 28 meters away from the goal, and suddenly shot from a distance.

The quality of this shot was not high, and there was some suspicion of rushing out of the shot, so the angle was also very off.

Just two minutes later, Liverpool switched colour on the right, with Kuyt's cross from the right into the box, and John Terry took a step ahead of Crouch to head the cross out of the box and Lampard cleared it again at the edge of the box.

Three minutes later, Liverpool played a combination on the left, Yang Yang cut inside and passed the ball to Aurelio on the edge, who curled the ball to the edge of the box, and Gerrard scrambled to shoot straight at goal.

But this time Terry reacted quickly and flew to block the ball, and Liverpool were unable to form a chance again.

Two minutes later, Chelsea played another counter-attack, Drogbala went to the left side of the penalty area, grabbed the first landing point, and the header was given to Malouda who was inserted in the back row.

After the break, Liverpool quickly counter-attacked, playing quickly down the right and Kuyt's pass evaded Terry and fell to the back post.

But this kick passed a little too far forward, although Yang Yang's speed was fast, but he couldn't fly, he was already catching up with the fastest speed, and even when he couldn't catch up, he directly flew and shoveled, but in the end he was still powerless and couldn't reach the ball, and looked at Kuyt helplessly after getting up.

The Dutchman shook his head with a wry smile, full of apologies.

I don't know if it's to apologize, Kuyt quickly sent another kick to Yang Yang, still to avoid Terry in the middle, passed to the back point, but it was a little far from the goal, after Yang Yang stopped the ball, he fell into Chelsea's bag, and could only shoot from a distance, but he also failed to create a threat, and was held firmly by Cech.

……

After the opening ten minutes, the pace of the game was fast.

Liverpool's opening tactics worked.

The key pressing areas of the two sides are concentrated in the middle line, which leads to Yang Yang rarely getting the opportunity to directly approach the opponent's goal.

The kick that Kuyt had just given him was a good chance, but unfortunately it was too far forward.

Chelsea have since tightened their restrictions on crosses from the wings.

Terry played with an injury in this game, but judging from the performance of the opening ten minutes, he was an overhead kick, very steady, and quite brave, especially the defense of flying to block the gun's hole and blocking Gerrard's long-range shot from the edge of the penalty area, which is even more admirable.

The captain of the Blues was wounded, but the result was quite bloody.

I have to say that this is indeed a great characteristic of English players, and it is also quite infectious.

Due to the presence of John Terry, Liverpool's opening wings were very active and frequently created chances, but they were never able to play a threatening and directly faced the attack of the goal.

Even Crouch, who is more than two meters tall, has a hard time dominating the high ball in front of Terry.

Yang Yang was not surprised at all by this situation.

As one of the world's top centre-backs, John Terry does have that quality.

What's more, Mourinho has coached Chelsea for many years, and this defensive line is definitely not paper-based.

Last season, Liverpool struggled to break down Chelsea's defence in every possible way, and this season will certainly not be easy.

If it was so easy to be breached, it wouldn't be Chelsea.

Yang Yang is not in a hurry at all, because he knows very well that Benitez should make adjustments soon.

Liverpool are not only good at playing on the wing, but also in the middle.

Sure enough, Yang Yang's thought just flashed, and in the fifteenth minute, Benitez in front of the coach's bench of the home team on the sidelines immediately made adjustments, signaling the team to start reducing the side attack, and the front trident retreated appropriately, actively seducing the opponent's defense line, and striving to hit behind the opponent's defense line in the middle.

This is the killer feature that Benitez has done everything possible and carefully prepared.

…………

'Chelsea once again unleashed a long ball, past the midfield, to get into the Liverpool defence.

'Daniel Agger grabbed the first spot and headed it to the left.

"Aurelio takes the ball and dribbles forward."

'Chelsea's attack was a bit hasty this time and Liverpool started to play a little more patiently.

"Aurelio passed it to Xavi Alonso again."

'The ball was still in Liverpool's half and Chelsea didn't press very hard in that area.

'Obviously, Mourinho still focuses on the central midfield, which is his own half.

"Xavi Alonso sent a low ball straight to the front."

"Crouch pulls back to catch the ball and Terry comes out."

"The England big man deliberately flicked the ball behind him, and Terry fell to the ground to tackle the ball, a beat slower."

'The ball went to the back of the Chelsea defence......

'Liverpool have a chance to ......'

……

When Crouch flicked the ball behind himself and Terry, the entire Anfield stadium erupted in an overwhelming wave of exclamation.

Yang was originally near the halfway line, close to Frank Lampard, which reassured Essien.

But just as Xavi Alonon was about to pass the ball, he suddenly started to run forward.

When Crouch pulled out that behind-the-back kick, Yang was right past Essien, but not offside as the Chelsea defence was still trailing Ben Haim.

At that moment, Yang Yang sprinted at the fastest speed.

Essian also realized the danger and quickly chased back, desperately chasing after him.

Benhaim made a mistake!

Not only did he not reach a tacit understanding with his teammates at the first time, forming an offside trap, but more importantly, when Terry followed Crouch to retreat, he did not lean behind Terry for the first time, but still stood in his left drag position.

This caused the distance between him and Terry to be a little too large, not to mention the distance between him and Essien, which was more than twenty meters, which became an open area for Yang Yang to gallop freely.

And when they realized the danger, whether it was Essien or Benhaim who was chasing back, there was no way to catch up with Yang Yang who was flying like a fly in the first place.

I saw that Yang Yang was like a sharp arrow, penetrating the Chelsea defense, quickly inserting diagonally, catching up with Crouch's ball at the edge of the penalty area, and then stepping into the penalty area.

Petr Cech made a decisive move.

The Czech goalkeeper was clearly frustrated by his team-mate's mistakes, and he was resolute.

But when Cech rushed out of the small penalty area, Yang Yang had already dribbled the ball into the big penalty area, and made a gesture with his right foot to hit the goal, which deceived Cech and Benhaim to react, but in fact, it was a crooked figure, the right foot supported the body, and the inside of the left foot pushed a far corner.

All of this, from Yang Yang's diagonal insertion, to the feint in the penalty area, to the subsequent push into the net, all happened in the blink of an eye, and at this time, the exclamations in the stands of the entire Anfield stadium had not subsided, but immediately after, they broke out into a thunderous cheer.

"The ball is in!!!"

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL！！！！！！”

'It was a quick offside cut, and Yang Yang once again used his pace and flexible movement to break through the Chelsea defence and break the deadlock for Liverpool.

"1-0, Liverpool take the lead for the time being!"

"This is also Yang Yang's fourth league goal this season!"

……

After Yang Yang pushed with his left foot, he quickly stabilized his body, and he didn't even need to look at it to know that the goal was scored.

He quickly turned and rushed out of the court, all the way to the bottom of the KOP stands, and slid to his knees and rushed to the sidelines.

He could clearly see that the Sky live camera was rapidly sliding towards him, and he kissed the coloured rope on his left wrist hard, raising his hands high and celebrating his goal with the fans in the stands.

1 to 0!

This goal is too important for Liverpool!

As long as the team doesn't make mistakes, and as long as the team continues to play like this, there will be no suspense about winning this game against Chelsea.

At this time, more than 50,000 fans of the entire Anfield also reacted, chanting Yang Yang's name in unison.

……

"Strictly speaking, after Yang Yang and Kuyt joined the team, especially in the second half of last season after these players were integrated into the team, Liverpool's attack played very well and was very versatile."

"One of the big reasons for that is that they have a lot of character in the front court.

"Needless to say, Yang Yang is very comprehensive, there is almost nothing he won't, and Crouch's height is very advantageous, and air dominance is his forte, but at the same time, he is also quite characteristic in the middle of the ball and the ball."

"It's like the kick that I just sent to Yang Yang is really imaginative, and we can clearly see that there is more and more tacit understanding between Crouch and Yang Yang."

"And with the stability and maturity of the front trident, especially with the ultimate weapon like Yang Yang, and the tactical fulcrum like Crouch, Liverpool's offensive means have become very rich, the wing can be played, the middle penetration can also be played, and the long pass in the back can also create a threat."

"It's fair to say that Liverpool's attacking approach this season has been a bit unguardable."

"In fact, if it hadn't been for Kuyt's mistake just now, Yang Yang would have had a chance to break through the Chelsea goal with that cross from the right, and now this goal is just another mistake by the Chelsea defence."

Andy Grey was clearly a little disappointed with Chelsea's defence after the opening kick-off, with a couple of mistakes.

Liverpool's strategy is very clear, to play directly behind.

'Jose Mourinho should make a change as soon as possible, otherwise, with the current trend, Liverpool will probably continue to score goals.'

"Yang Yang's current state is so red and purple that he has to guard against it."
