Chapter 493: Falling Behind Again

Liverpool's attack really scared Chelsea, but Courtois's timely save was a relief to the Chelsea players.

It also made the Chelsea players who equalized the score take their hearts back again, this is Anfield, Liverpool's attack is indeed very threatening, and continuous and smooth passes can often quickly penetrate Chelsea's defence.

However, Chelsea's defence was resolute, running and scrambling aggressively in midfield, and the three lines were kept tight, and although Liverpool once again regained the advantage on the pitch, they could not find the back of the net.

In the 38th minute of the game, Liverpool was equalized, so the attack after that was even more crazy, and Chelsea now got 1 away goal, so it was very resolute to play defensive counterattacks, while consolidating the defense, using counterattacks to threaten Liverpool's goal.

In the 41st minute of the game, Liverpool once again tore apart Chelsea's midfield defence with a delicate combination, and Henderson appeared at the top of the box with the ball.

Henderson didn't have a chance to shoot from his feet against Christensen's defence, he watched it and then split the ball on the wing.

It was Salah who followed up on the wing, and there was a lot of pressure on Azpilicueta in this game, because Salah is a speed player, and Azpilicueta's absolute speed is not fast, so it is very difficult for Azpilicueta to face Salah's straight speed attack.

Jones was aware of that, too, so in the second half he was more likely to be in the middle to help Azpilicueta take the pressure off.

In terms of speed, Jones is not inferior to Salah at all, or even faster, so Jones is stuck on the sprint route, although he is not afraid of Salah's speed, but he can make Vosallah unable to raise his speed, so it will be easier for him to defend.

However, Jones forgot that he was not a defender, but an attacking player, and as soon as Jones posted it, Salah knew that it would be difficult for him to break through Jones' defense.

Speed may not have been overblown, and after the speed that he relied on the most was suppressed, he wanted to deceive Jones with feints? Salah simply doesn't have that confidence.

Salah didn't use his weaknesses to fight Jones' strengths, so he just flicked the ball with his left foot and made a move to change the line to break through the middle.

Jones naturally wouldn't be deceived by this feint, but the next moment, Jones was a little surprised, this was indeed a feint, Salah did not break through to the middle, and he did not continue to dribble the ball on the side, because he directly got up and made a long diagonal pass.

He used his left-footed pluck to get the cross out of the way!

Jones reacted, but it was too late, and as soon as he stretched out his foot, the ball flew straight into the box.

Chelsea's backline was a little ill-prepared for the sudden cross, and Firmino grabbed the first point, stopping the ball with his chest and trying to shoot wide, but Cahill's timely arrival did not give Firmino a chance to get his feet up.

Firmino reacted quickly and when he saw that there was no shot on goal, he held the ball with his back and pushed the ball to the line of the box, and Henderson followed up with a violent shot.

This time, Courtois was powerless, the shot was fast and sharp, and the angle was tricky, Courtois could only wave his hand out of thin air and watch the ball go into the net.

"2 to 1! In the 43rd minute of the game, Firmino turned back to play the ball and assisted Henderson to score a goal, once again leading Chelsea by one goal.

"Gooooooooooo Henderson! He scored a goal for Liverpool! Firmino provided a beautiful assist for Henderson! ”

"Henderson! Henderson! The heart of Liverpool's midfield scored the leading goal! He's a real core player! ”

Liverpool's commentators stood up in excitement as the Anfield stadium erupted in re-erupting cheers.

If Liverpool's first goal after the opening kick-off was Liverpool's good luck, then Liverpool's subsequent re-lead proved that Liverpool had really found a way to deal with Chelsea.

Of course, this is nothing less than a disaster for Chelsea.

The first half ended 2-1, with the home team up front and the visitors behind, with Chelsea a goal down on the road.

In the final five or six minutes of the first half, Chelsea fought back more ferociously, but in the end Liverpool's positive return visit was unable to equalise.

The two teams temporarily returned to the locker room with a score of 2-1.

In the visiting dressing room, the Chelsea players had a solemn expression, they were one goal behind at the beginning of the game, and then they were suppressed by the opponent for nearly half a while, although they equalized later, but in the end they were still one goal behind the opponent, and the lead was Liverpool not them.

Kodic was also unhappy with the scoreline, but he wasn't too angry, after all, he was only one goal behind on the road, and it would be nice to get an away goal on the road, but what needs to be said is still to be said.

'It was a bad first half but we don't have to be discouraged, it's Liverpool's home stadium and they're attacking hard and they're leading now.

Presumably in the second half they will continue to attack and extend the lead, in the second half, we will continue to play defensive counterattacks, I hope in the second half everyone can defend well at the same time, and when they have the opportunity to counterattack and equalize! ”

At this point, Kodic looked at Jones: "In the first half you made a clever and practical change, which was a big point for us to equalise, and in the second half you dropped back in the same position and looked for a chance to score. ”

Jones didn't have any expression on his face, just nodded in understanding.

Kodic didn't care, he also understood Jones's mood right now, after all, his team was behind in this game, and he was basically trapped in the half of the court, which definitely didn't make Jones happy.

Koudic continued: "You should know how to play, but I want you to run a little bit more. ”

'The second half was all about solid defending, counter-attacking quickly when you had the chance, trying to keep the goal when you didn't have the chance, and although they were leading the goal now, we had an away goal and there was no need to pull it out and play against the opponent.

"Don't let them expand their advantage any more! Even if we can't win this game, then when we go to our home stadium, we will give them a taste of our awesomeness! I don't think you want to go to the Champions League final! ”

"No, we all want to go!" Everyone responded loudly to Kodic.

…………

The fifteen-minute halftime passed quickly.

After the start of the second half, Liverpool continued to attack, which is also a normal thing, this is their home field, and they are leading again, so it is natural to extend the lead at home.

At the beginning of the second half, Liverpool played an extremely wonderful and beautiful team pass.
