Chapter 515: Falling Behind at Home
Jones listened to the loud roars of the home fans, and Jones was in high spirits and rushed towards the football at an accelerated pace.
Giroud stopped his retreat and got into action, not lunging towards the football, but trying to cut off the ball from the opponent's player.
Robertson stopped his retreat and began to move, and the Chelsea midfielders stopped retreating, cutting off all of Robertson's short passes.
Robertson saw that Jones was about to pounce and was about to pass the ball to his teammates, but suddenly all the passing routes were cut off
Robertson made the split-second decision to dribble the ball along the flanks and then look for opportunities to pass the ball to his team-mates.
Robertson ran fast with the football, Jones followed him, and Bakayoko pounced, and he was about to pinch Robertson with Jones.
Robertson slammed his right foot to break through Bakayoko in front of him, but when he stepped out of his left foot, a wall suddenly appeared in front of him and blocked him, and Jones stuck him behind him.
It was a beautiful back-and-forth strike, and after Jones took control of the ball, he pressed his weight to the left front and then started quickly with the ball.
Klopp angrily smashed the mineral water bottle in his hand on the turf, damn it, pass the ball early, you think you are a striker!
"Stop him!" Van Dijk roared.
Lovren pounced on him as well, and Jones crossed the middle before moving forward.
"Smack"
Olivier Giroud crossed diagonally and Jones and Lovren outstretched their right feet at the same time as they went for the ball.
The next moment, Jones's right toe touched the ball lightly, and the ball flew past Lovren's toe.
Klopp shook his head helplessly, damn it, didn't I already tell you, when defending Jones, don't take it lightly.
"Beautiful! Strike! ”
The home fans cheered loudly, however, Van Dijk was already on the ball, Jones's pace increased dramatically, and the two were getting closer to the football.
When the two were only one and a half meters away from the football, the two stretched out their feet almost at the same time.
The next moment, Jones's right foot stepped on the football, the football stopped, Van Dijk's right foot was only one step away from the football, and in his afterglow, a familiar figure appeared, and he was relieved.
Robertson chased back into place, Jones pulled his right foot back, and then his whole body began to rotate counterclockwise, and the ball of his left foot was pulled, and the football rolled in the direction of the goal!
"Jones got rid of Van Dijk with a Marseille maneuver! However, Liverpool's defence did not collapse and Robertson pounced on Jones! ”
Robertson learned his lesson, he didn't go out blindly, he clung to Jones, and his purpose was very clear, which was to slow Jones' advance, and then flank Jones with his teammates who were chasing back.
How could Jones sit still, he suddenly made a sudden stop, and Robertson quickly stopped his steps.
Jones snapped his right foot, pressed his weight to the left front, and the next moment his left shoulder hit a wall!
Van Dijk has been playing in the Premier League for a season and has a certain understanding of the Premier League, otherwise he wouldn't have scored so many goals.
But he now feels that Liverpool's defence is stronger than other Premier League teams, and Liverpool's backline has been followed by successive opponents, even if he has been able to get past the opposition three, but it still does not give him the chance to face the goalkeeper directly.
Jones and Van Dijk were on the verge of leaving, the ball lost control, and Karius took the opportunity to abandon the goal and save the ball!
The Liverpool commentator exclaimed: "In the 26th minute of the first half, Chelsea launched a quick counter-attack through a tackle in midfield, Jones connected with three opponents, but he still did not get a chance to shoot, Liverpool played a stubborn defense, Jones almost succeeded!" ”
Despite not scoring a goal, the Chelsea flag flew over the majority of the stadium to the loud cheers of the home fans, who believed their side would win.
"Chelsea! Chelsea! Chelsea! ”
"Liverpool! Liverpool! Liverpool! Not to be outdone, Liverpool fans shouted their team's name and hoisted their team's flag.
For a while, the flags of both sides fluttered all over the field!
Although Liverpool did not concede a goal, Klopp was still extremely angry, and this time his players had a lot of problems when defending, and blind kicking was the biggest problem.
Jones, who failed to make the move, was not frustrated, but turned around and returned to his position, ready to continue playing.
After the restart, Liverpool stepped up their attack, after all, they have been passively beaten and unhappy.
Jones continued to chase the football with all his physical strength, and this time no one dared to let Jones get the ball easily.
Chelsea's midfielders continued to cut off Liverpool's passing lanes and Liverpool's attack became difficult.
Klopp, who was standing in the command area, looked ugly, his team's attack was not good, but fortunately, the defense was still good, especially when Chelsea played a quick counter-attack, they had a whole set of countermeasures.
Both sides were in a state of flux and the pitch was deadlocked, with players on both sides showing rare patience and knowing that they would give each other a chance if they got impatient.
The game went into a stalemate, with neither side being able to create a good chance to score.
Jurgen Klopp made an immediate change, giving up the midfield excesses when attacking, and the defenders went straight to the strikers.
In the 30th minute of the first half, Liverpool suddenly increased the tempo of the attack, no longer entangled with Chelsea in the midfield, and kicked the football to the front with a big foot in the backfield.
After Roberto Firmino got the ball, he and Sadio Mane teamed up on the left flank to tear apart Chelsea's defence, Mane crossed the middle, Henderson followed up and shot angrily, and the ball went straight to the bottom left corner of the goal!
Thibaut Courtois made a brave save in front of goal and struggled to get the ball off the line.
Two minutes later, Liverpool again made a quick counter-attack from the back, striker Salah won the ball, broke through Rudiger and fired a powerful shot on the edge of the box that flew towards the right side of the goal.
Courtois leaped and touched the ball with the tip of his left finger, which changed direction but flew over the goal line and into the goal!
"The ball is in! The score became 0-1! Liverpool lead Chelsea by 1 goal away from home! ”
Away fans from afar turned Stamford Bridge into a sea of joy, while Chelsea fans looked serious.
Liverpool's commentator exclaimed: "When the two sides were deadlocked, Klopp took the lead in making adjustments, in the attack, he gave up the midfield and went directly to the striker by the defender, this tactical adjustment paid off, Salah's goal helped Liverpool take the lead!" ”
The Chelsea commentator said: 'Jurgen Klopp made a change and scored a goal, and it looks like Kodic is going to make a change too! ”
There was a lot of discussion among reporters on the sidelines, and one said: "Judging from the coaching experience, Kodic just can't do it. ”
A Liverpool reporter said very dryly: "The level of coaching experience Klopp is already higher than Kodic, and Kodic is a newcomer!" ”
Jurgen Klopp is undoubtedly a handful of famous men, and the reporters in the London area are speechless.
And now the facts are in front of us, Klopp adjusted in the stalemate and scored a goal, while Kodic did nothing.
As for the reason for the stalemate between the two sides before, it was the players on the field who took the initiative to make changes, not from Kodic's tactical adjustments.
