Chapter 259: A Wonderful Goal (2nd Update, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"The game is on, and we're going to go ahead and give you a little bit of a starting line-up for both sides." Zhan Jun said.
"On Liverpool's side, the goalkeeper is Mignolet, and in the last few games, Mignolet has performed quite well and won Klopp's trust again."
"The right-back is Glenn. Johnson, left-back is Alberto. Moreno, these two defenders will rarely miss games this season, of course, the two players are very good, however, this is not the main reason, the real reason is that Liverpool are overstretched at full-back, and there are rumours that Klopp is ready to bring in full-back positions this summer. Zhan Jun continued.
'That's as it should be, Liverpool's full-back is too thin.' Zhang Lu said.
'The centre-back is a partnership between Lovren and veteran Skrtel.
'In midfield are captain Steven Gerrard, vice-captain Jordan Henderson and Philippe Coutinho.
"Up front are Jiang Chenxi, Salah and Lallana."
"Yes, according to the official lineup list, Lallana and Salah both appeared on the front line, forming a trident with Jiang Chenxi."
……
"On Chelsea's side, the goalkeeper is Thibaut Courtois, and in the past few days, Courtois has stirred up a lot of storms, and he first tweeted to provoke a war of words between Chelsea and Liverpool players." Zhan Jun raised his voice, "And just before today's game, Courtois also said in an interview that he wants to strive for a clean sheet in this game!" ”
'Two full-backs, left wing-back Felipe. Luiz, right wing-back is Serbian veteran Branislav Ivanovic. ”
'The left centre-back is Terry and his partner is Kurt Zouma.
'In midfield, Mikel and Nemanja Matic formed a back two.
'In front of those two are Cesc Fabregas, Eden Hazard and Willian.
"There's only Diego up front. Costa is alone, and he was Chelsea's lone arrow today. ”
Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu were able to broadcast the starting lineups of both sides after the start of the game, which also reflected from one side that the game was a little dull after the start of the game.
……
Yes, exactly dull.
Having trailed Liverpool by more than five points at the top of the table, Chelsea are in no hurry to attack, they have steadied their position, first and foremost on defence and not conceding a goal.
This is surprising, after all, if Chelsea still want to compete for the Premier League title, this game must be won, even a draw is not acceptable to Chelsea, so, before the game, the media generally believed that Mourinho's team will be more aggressive today, Chelsea must score goals to win, so it is generally believed that Chelsea will play quite aggressively today.
However, the result surprised them, and despite facing a must-win situation, Jose Mourinho's side did not rush forward, but played steadily and were not in a hurry to attack.
Chelsea are not in a hurry to attack, and Liverpool, who stated before the game that they want to win the game and win the Premier League in advance, does not seem to be in a hurry, in the face of Chelsea's retreat, they are advancing in an orderly manner, after all, it is Chelsea who are now behind in the standings, and for Liverpool, even a draw in this game is acceptable.
……
In Liverpool's dugout, Klopp sat in his seat and glanced at the opposing dugout: Old fox.
Jose Mourinho is doing the opposite, when everyone thought that Chelsea were going to press out and attack, Chelsea played defensive counter-attack, which was prepared for a long time, the purpose was to prepare to catch Liverpool to press out and then empty.
In fact, the war of words between the players on both sides intensified before the game, Mourinho has not stood up to extinguish the fire, and now it seems that this is intentional, deliberately arousing Liverpool's fighting spirit, if Liverpool is really provoked, thinking that this game must be won, to press out to attack, is with him.
On the other side, Mourinho unscrewed the plastic water bottle and took a sip of water.
He didn't expect Liverpool to shout the slogan before the game, but he was not in a hurry to attack, which made his wishful thinking come to naught.
From the beginning, Mourinho and Klopp, both were unexpected by each other, the two played a draw, and neither won the other.
……
The game scene was relatively dull, and the live footage simply gave a close-up of the VIP box at Stamford Bridge.
British Prime Minister David Cameron and several senior cabinet officials, as well as FA President Clarke Clarke, were present.
In addition, Liverpool's 'minority shareholder' and NBA star LeBron . James also appeared in the stands.
And the British actress Emma. Watson and another beautiful blonde beauty.
In addition, there are many celebrities and celebrities who also appeared in the stands at Stamford Bridge.
"Today's game, the current dull situation, may disappoint the star audience at the scene."
The commentator's voice did not fall, and the situation on the court changed abruptly.
It was Liverpool in possession.
They're pushing forward.
It looked like the attack was no different from the previous ones, with Liverpool's push being heavily defended by Chelsea only to no avail, or ended with a long-range shot that didn't threaten anything, and then the ball went to Chelsea's side, and Chelsea repeated it.
However, this time the attack, Liverpool has changed.
……
Coutinho handed the ball to Lallana and he ran to the flank while raising his hand for the ball to pass.
Lallana didn't pass the ball and he started suddenly, and an acceleration changed direction past Cesc Fabregas.
After Lallana got past Cesc Fabregas, the latter also immediately counter-attacked, Lallana used his body to protect the ball, so that Fabregas could not easily break the ball, and then forced the ball forward.
Facing William, who came up to make up for the defense, Lallana poked his toes and planned to pass the ball.
Seeing this, William made a decisive tactical foul, and he pulled Lallana's jersey, so the result of Lallana's breakthrough was that the ball passed, and the person did not pass.
However, the referee Jonathan. Moss's whistle didn't sound.
It was Jiang Chenxi who ran over to pick up Lallana, and he grabbed ahead of Matic to catch up with the football. It was advantageous to attack, so the referee raised his hands flat forward and signaled for the game to continue, and he did not blow the whistle to interrupt the game.
……
As soon as Jiang Chenxi caught up with the football, he suddenly sped up and passed the football past Matic, and then faced Ivanovic, who came up to intercept, Jiang Chenxi did not play directly with the opponent, he passed the football to Coutinho.
Ivanovic immediately turned and pounced on Coutinho.
Coutinho knocked the ball down, then he got around Ivanovic and turned to run.
Salah, who received the ball, immediately took advantage of the situation and passed the ball back to him, two-by-one!
At this moment, if you look at Liverpool's offensive advance from the air, you will be surprised to find that Jiang Chenxi, Coutinho, Lallana and Salah, these four attacking players suddenly concentrated in a certain place, and in a relatively narrow space, that is, the right side of Chelsea, they suddenly began to exert force at the same time to impact Chelsea's defense.
Almost at the same time, Gerrard and Jordan Henderson held steady down the middle and didn't step forward, as they could form a line of defense at any time if the attack was tackled.
This kind of tactic of suddenly attacking fiercely in front, but the midfielder is in strict defense and does not go up to participate in the attack, and does not provide support, is actually very dangerous, which is strictly speaking, the disconnection of the midfield and midfield, which is a situation that the team should deliberately avoid.
However, Liverpool suddenly adopted this tactic this time and caught Chelsea by surprise.
……
Coutinho and Salah collided with the wall and then stepped forward.
Mikel came up to grab the ball.
Coutinho kicks his feet, a change in pace, hooks the ball back, and then makes a gesture to shoot from distance!
Mikel immediately reached out to block it.
Then Coutinho pushes the ball: pass!
Salah flashed out of the gap, he slammed his left foot to avoid Zouma's outstretched foot, then pulled the ball horizontally, turned, carried Zouma, jammed the angle of the latter's interception from behind, and then slammed his heel and the ball rolled backwards past Zouma's side.
Terry saw that the football was rolling over, and he was about to step forward to clear the siege, when he saw Jiang Chenxi leaning over directly and blocking his route with his body.
Rao is opponent, Terry also had to marvel at the timing of Jiang Chenxi's coming up to the card position, not sooner or later, it was at this time, while completing the card position, he also protected the football, which was just right.
If this guy was on his side, he would have to applaud and give him a thumbs up.
It's a pity that this is an opponent, and it is still an opponent with terrifying strength.
However, the experienced captain of the Blue Army did not panic, because he knew the price paid by Jiang Chenxi for such a successful position, and while blocking his route with his back, it also meant that Jiang Chenxi was holding the ball with his back to the goal.
In this case, Jiang Chenxi is not much of a threat.
……
However, at this time, Terry was shocked.
Really shocked.
He didn't expect Jiang Chenxi to protect the ball with his back to him, slightly sideways to his feet, and use the arch of his foot to remove the football from his double... Hooked between his legs, then quickly turned and brushed him!
Worst!
Terry didn't have time to think about how this guy could complete this action at this moment, and he immediately forcibly turned around, trying to stop Jiang Chenxi.
Terry subconsciously reached out and put his hand on Jiang Chenxi's shoulder, but he let go in an instant, and he realized that Jiang Chenxi had taken a broken step and had already stepped into the penalty area, if it was a foul, it would be a penalty!
"Felipe!" Terry shouted.
The captain of the Blues pinned his hopes on Felipe, who came to fill the place. Luis, the latter didn't expect the captain to be passed so easily, and came over to fill the position in a panic.
……
Jiang Chenxi adjusted his step point slightly and lifted his right foot!
Is this going to shoot?
Or is it a feint?
Felipe. Louis's scalp was tingling, and he had to make a judgment.
He didn't need to dwell on it.
Jiang Chenxi didn't give him time to think about it at all, his calves swung suddenly, and he volleyed!
Without the slightest hesitation in Felipe. Before Luis closes the distance, it is directly a volley!
Felipe. Louis immediately reached out to block it, but he was already a beat slower.
The ball sprung up, arcing through an arc and flying into the far corner of the goal.
Courtois was not fully prepared for the goal, and when he saw the ball flying, it was already in front of him!
"Jiang! Terry come up! Pretty! Breakthrough! Felipe...... Shot! Gooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaal! Wonderful arc! Brilliant goal! Courtois didn't react to the ball, he just waved his hand subconsciously, more like saying hello to football! Pretty! Pretty! 1 to 0! Jiang's goal! His 41st Premier League goal of the season! 1-0, Liverpool leads! They are leading on the road! "John. Mortenson stood up from his seat with the microphone and shouted, "What a wonderful goal!" ”
