Chapter 133: Crazy First Half
Liverpool's corner.
Philippe Coutinho takes a corner.
In the box, Skrtel pressed Swansea defender Williams with a header.
Swansea goalkeeper Fabianski reached for the ball, but the ball was so powerful that he couldn't stop the ball from going into the net.
1-0, just over a minute into the game, Liverpool took the lead in the score.
"The ball is in!" Zhan Jun shouted, "Dream start!" Liverpool scored in the opening minute, which was an unexpected situation and, of course, it couldn't have been better. ”
Jurgen Klopp clapped on the sidelines to celebrate the goal.
Swansea City manager Gary. Monk obviously didn't expect this start, he looked at the field in dismay, then came to his senses, walked to the sideline to clap his hands, shouted loudly, and encouraged his players not to be affected by the loss of the ball and quickly get into the game.
Gary. Born on March 6, 1979, Monk is only 35 years old this year, and has no previous coaching experience, becoming Swansea's manager in February 2014, the youngest manager in the Premier League.
……
Liverpool took an early lead, however, Swansea were not too flustered, although Liverpool took the initiative on the field, however, Swansea's counterattack was still relatively sharp, their Icelandic striker Sigurdsson once hit the crossbar with a header, shocking the Liverpool fans in the stands in a cold sweat.
However, Liverpool's strength is higher than Swansea's after all, especially since they have the most terrifying goalscorer in the entire Premier League!
Therefore, in the 21st minute of the game, Liverpool's second goal came and suppressed Swansea's counter-attacking momentum.
"It's Liverpool's attack, Lovren's long pass directly from the back!"
The football flew to the right side, Salah showed people his beautiful footwork, running, facing the falling football, Salah gently picked the football, and then twisted his waist, avoiding the Swansea defender Britton who rushed up to intercept, and then caught up with the football, Salah did not give Swansea defender Taylor a chance to get close, and passed the football directly to the middle.
The ball is not passed in front of goal, but to the top of the arc of the penalty area.
Jiang Chenxi interspersed in place, and he stopped the ball on his chest.
Swansea centre-back Fernandes interfered with him as he reached out and grabbed Jiang Chenxi's shirt.
Fernandez thought that under his interference, Jiang Chenxi would lose control of the ball or fall to the ground.
However, he didn't expect that this seemingly not too strong Chinese star had such a strong ability to deal with pits, and his pull did not affect Jiang Chenxi too much, and Jiang Chenxi stopped the football steadily.
Then, Jiang Chenxi neither passed nor dribbled the ball, but directly flicked the football outward with his left foot, then turned around and shot with his foot!
……
The shot was powerful.
Swansea goalkeeper Fabianski threw his hands up to hit the ball, but he couldn't touch the ball and it flew over his hands and into the back of the net......
"Oh!!" John. Mortenson exclaimed, "Pretty! Pretty! It's beautiful! Textbook chest turn and volley after stopping the ball! It's so beautiful!! ”
Anfield Stadium was boiling and Liverpool fans jumped from their seats to cheer.
Before the game, the media predicted this game, and the general view was that Liverpool needed to put a little more effort into winning, and the fans were mentally prepared for a hard battle, but they didn't expect the start to be so smooth, and they took a two-goal lead so quickly.
The shouts in the stands came and went, Jiang Chenxi did not celebrate, he rushed directly into the net, scooped up the football, and ran towards the middle circle with the football, only then did he have time to wave his fist to celebrate the goal.
The teammates didn't care so much and didn't pay attention to this detail, but since Jiang Chenxi didn't plan to celebrate, they were more restrained, and the teammates who were originally chasing to celebrate together ran back to their own half with Jiang Chenxi, waving their fists on the way to celebrate the goal.
"Beautiful! Amazing world waves! Zhan Jun was excited, "I take back my previous words, maybe Swansea does have the strength in this game, but Liverpool is stronger, Jiang Chenxi is in too good shape, the game has only started for more than 20 minutes, and Liverpool has almost locked the win." ”
……
The first half was very fast-paced.
In the 31st minute of the game, Liverpool's free kick.
Philippe Coutinho takes the free-kick straight into the net.

In the 41st minute, Swansea pulled a goal back.
After Icelandic striker Sigurdsson's shot was saved by Liverpool goalkeeper Mignolet, Ivory Coast striker Bony shot into the net, 1-3!
In the stands of the away fans at Anfield Stadium, the Swansea fans cheered and saw a glimmer of hope.
However, Jiang Chenxi quickly suppressed Swansea's counterattack again with a goal.
In the injury time of the first half of the game, Sterling cut inside on the side and shot, the football hit the defender and refracted it, Fabianski subconsciously pounced, Jiang Chenxi grabbed in front of everyone and stretched out his foot and stabbed the football into the net.
"Four to one!"
"Second goal! Jiang Chenxi scored twice! ”
"Goal 22! Jiang scored his 22nd goal in the league! He continues to lead the scorer charts! ”

Jurgen Klopp stood on the sidelines with a smile on his face, high-fived every player who left the field, and the German coach was in a very happy mood.
Swansea City manager Gary. Monk's expression was a little confused, and he walked to the players' tunnel with his players, the whole first half of the game Swansea was stunned, he was also a little confused, this season Swansea and Manchester United played, they won 2-1 away, and Arsenal played, they played 2-1 at home, and Chelsea played, they lost 2-4, but, the play was not bad, and Manchester City played, they lost 1-2 away, and played well, played with so many strong teams, Swansea won two and lost two, before the game, they felt that they were not afraid of Liverpool, They thought they could have tried something even at Anfield, but at the end of the 45 minutes, it was a bit confusing and a bit chaotic......
