'Against Chelsea, you can't count on luck or hope that your opponents will make mistakes.

In the conference room at Melwood's training base, Liverpool are in the process of a tactical preparation session ahead of their game against Chelsea.

Yang Yang changed his previous low profile, and was the first to stand up and speak out his thoughts and opinions.

"I'm familiar with Guus Hiddink, who is one of the best managers in the world, and I think that this mistake against Bolton Wanderers will not only not create a chance for us, but will make it more difficult for us, because Hiddink will adjust as soon as possible after the game and plug this possible hidden danger."

"So, playing Chelsea away, we can't leave anything to chance, there is no choice, there is no way out, we can only attack and fight them to the end!"

Yang Yang's speech can be described as loud and deafening, which made the players of Liverpool, who were still lucky, sober up, and realized that this is a key decisive battle in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, the opponent is Chelsea, and the coach is Hiddink.

Such a manager, such a team, would never allow the same mistake to happen to him a second time.

"I agree with Yang Yang's statement, this game must not be left to chance, we must rely on hard power to avenge the previous attack at Stamford Bridge!" Gerard also stood up in solidarity with Yang Yang.

"That's right, fluke is not reliable, and we have to rely on ourselves." Xavi Alonso also responded.

Yang Yang's words were quickly unanimously recognized by the players, even a few players who were lucky before, now have to admit that Yang Yang's caution is right, and hoping for luck and opponents will only lead to their own fiasco.

……

Benitez listened to the players, nodding his head from time to time to show that he had heard.

He agrees with Yang Yang's words 100%, and he is very glad that Yang Yang can still maintain such a rare sense of sanity and calmness at this time, which is the demeanor and bearing that the core general of the team should have.

But the game against Bolton Wanderers is still worth learning from.

'I looked at Bolton's three attacks and the Chelsea defence made big or small mistakes, with Cech, John Terry and Carvalho all taking clear responsibility, while on Bolton's side, Kevin Davies' centre-forward was very clear.

When everyone heard this, they all turned their heads to look at Crouch, and they couldn't help but think in their hearts, maybe Benitez had already seen this, so when he was fighting Blackburn, he hid Crouch to save his strength.

Then next up is the away game against Chelsea, and Crouch will play a key role.

Yang Yang also thought the same way as everyone else, and even when he saw Crouch's eyes, he could see that the English high-ranking man looked at this problem the same way, but after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong.

It's so obvious!

Benitez's intentions are all too obvious!

Especially when Kevin Davies played Chelsea, with such a good performance, anyone could see that Crouch was the best weapon to attack the city, could Hiddink not know? Will you be prepared in advance?

It's like Blackburn's Allardyce, the England boss who folded on this issue.

To put it simply, I was in too much of a hurry to make up the hot spots, and I burned myself to death.

From the moment Benitez saw Allardyce have four centre-backs in the eighteen-man roster, he had already guessed Allardyce's intentions and skillfully exploited the opponent's mind to make them steal chickens instead of rice.

So, will Hiddink do the same?

Is he also waiting for Liverpool to pull out Crouch's tactical high point and follow Bolton's example to attack Chelsea's defence?

And in this game, Terry has to accumulate yellow cards and suspension, if there is no accident in the backline, the center-back combination should be Alex and Carvalho, which is no suspense, but sometimes, the more suspense, the greater the suspense.

Yang Yang thought of this, and suddenly turned his head to look at Benitez, he guessed that Crouch would not start!

Sometimes targeted tactics are like this, you know I have a trump card in my hand that can turn the situation around and defeat the enemy, but I just hold it in my hand and don't play it, let you guess, make you worry all day long, make you worry all the time.

Crouch is this card!

As for when to play, it depends on the situation of the game.

When Yang Yang thought of this, he couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart.

After joining Liverpool, his tactical literacy has really been greatly improved, and playing in Benitez's team, the help and improvement for him is really very big, very obvious.

The Spaniard's tactical prowess was simply outstanding!

…………

…………

Sure enough, the next day after the Chelsea and Bolton match, there were many calls of concern in the media.

The vast majority of media and fans are worried that Bolton can score three goals in eight minutes, so will Chelsea's defence be secure against Liverpool? Can the void of captain John Terry's absence be filled?

What's more, with a Kevin Davis already so hard to defend, do Chelsea have a whole set of sophisticated plans to defend a taller, more tactical Crouch?

The media and fans are guessing, but no one can give an answer to this.

Because, even Liverpool and Chelsea themselves don't know what will happen next.

All the preparations for this game were rotten in the stomach by the coaches and players of both teams, and they did not say a word about it.

……

After Blackburn, Liverpool trained in Melwood for two days in a closed camp, and on the afternoon of the third day, the night before the game, the team flew from Liverpool to London early and checked into a hotel near Stamford Bridge.

This unusual move shows how seriously Liverpool take this game.

After the news of the team's arrival in London spread, the media on Fleet Street began to hear about it.

Liverpool did not arrange for the manager and players to participate in any interviews, and everyone politely declined all interviews, but only arranged for the club's press spokesperson to be interviewed by the media, calling on everyone to give Liverpool a more relaxed environment to prepare for the game.

'The only thing we can say is that it was a 180-minute game and now it's only been the first half, we're 1-3 down, but there's still 90 minutes left in the second half and we still have a chance!'

The media also took photos of Liverpool's arrival in London and staying at the hotel, and from the player's mental outlook, the media and fans gave praise to them, believing that although Liverpool looked a little serious, it did not look like a team that had lost badly, but gave people a sense of high morale.

"It's clear that this is a battle that has captured the attention of the whole world!"

Sky TV aired Liverpool's arrival in London in the spotlight news to warm up for the upcoming clash of dragons.

"According to the odds offered by authoritative bookmakers, after Liverpool's 3-1 home defeat to Chelsea, the Reds' odds to win the title fell from first place to seventh all of a sudden, and obviously everyone does not think Liverpool has a chance to turn around."

"But after a few days of gestation and corrections, especially after a 4-0 home win over Blackburn, Liverpool are starting to regain the recognition of their fans and are now back in fifth place."

"Judging from Liverpool's promotion odds alone, the outside world is still very optimistic that Liverpool can advance, after all, the 1-3 home defeat is an insurmountable obstacle for all teams, but they all believe that Liverpool can draw at Stamford Bridge, or even win, but at most it is a one-goal lead."

"Depending on the score of the first leg, Liverpool will have to score three goals at Stamford Bridge to have a chance of progressing!"

"The match has also been hyped up on UEFA's official website, and according to market research, fans around the world are eagerly awaiting this matchup after Liverpool's 4-0 thrashing of Blackburn."

"Whether you think Liverpool can do miracles? Or do you think Chelsea can hold on to the scores? There is no doubt that this game is the most eye-catching summit matchup in the Champions League so far this season. ”

"If Liverpool really reverses, it will undoubtedly create another miracle of reversal, but if it is regrettable, then Liverpool will become a tragic hero, and Yang Yang may lose the biggest bargaining chip in the fight for the World Footballer of the Year and the European Ballon d'Or next season."

According to the current polls, Yang Yang is still the number one favorite, followed by Barcelona's Messi.

While Liverpool lost 3-1 to Chelsea in the first leg, Barcelona beat Bayern Munich 4-0 on their home turf with Messi's brace and an assist, and basically sent the Bundesliga team home to the top of the Bundesliga.

Yang Yang's performance this season is indeed the peak, and it can even be said to be the crown of the entire European football, but if there is no performance in the Champions League, with only a Premier League championship and the League Cup, Yang Yang wants to compete with Messi for these two professional player supreme honors, which is still very suspenseful.

Even, if Barcelona really wins the championship, then Messi will completely lead Yang Yang.

That's why fans around the world are paying so much attention to this matchup, as they all recognize Yang Yang's performance this season, but they are also worried about whether he will be dragged down by Liverpool and ultimately lose the chance to win the top honour again.

……

There is a lot of discussion in the outside world, and various topics are emerging one after another.

But within Liverpool, it's clearly not so complicated.

The team didn't go out again after checking into the hotel, and all the players arranged their rooms and went to rest.

Yang Yang, on the other hand, entered the super training ground and spent the whole night simulating training with Chelsea's backline.

There won't be much suspense in Chelsea's starting line-up, especially in the middle and back, which can be basically counted.

Yang Yang is no stranger to these players, the only one who is less familiar is Ivanovic, so the Serbian defender has also become the target of Yang Yang's key attack.

To score at Stamford Bridge, Yang will have to open up gaps in the defenders of Branislav Ivanovic and Alex.
