Chapter 491: Helpless Jones
On the other side, Jurgen Klopp was also standing on the sidelines, his face was also furrowed, and if you just look at the situation, there is no doubt that his team has the upper hand.
But he was still dissatisfied, or rather, unhappy with his team's delay in increasing the scoreline.
He knows very well that the team's style of play cannot last, because it consumes the team's physical energy, and it is impossible to continue this style of play for 90 minutes.
After a long time, when Chelsea have recovered their strength, they will not give Liverpool another chance to attack like this.
So Klopp wants his team to score as many goals as possible in the first half and end the game as early as possible, but so far they have only scored one goal, which is too small.
Although it looks like Chelsea are not going to be able to fight back at the moment, it was just a goal difference and it was inevitable that the opponent would score to level the scores.
If Chelsea score, they can still get an away goal, which is extremely advantageous in a two-legged knockout game.
Klopp also stood on the sidelines and shouted: "Attack! Go on the offensive! Score me! Keep extending your lead! ”
At this moment, Jones, who was on the court, stared at Chamberlain, who had been following him, and he was thinking hard about what to do.
He's been playing hard so far and if he can't make any changes and help the team, then Liverpool could well extend their lead.
Jones is now the heart of the team's attack, and his impact and ability to break through are key to the team's victory.
But now that he doesn't even have many chances to get the ball, Chelsea's offensive has immediately dropped more than a notch.
When playing against other teams, the opponent defended himself, and Costa, Hazard and others stepped up, and now, Jones himself is being marked, and in Liverpool's crazy attack, Hazard and Costa have no chance to attack the opponent's hinterland.
Generally, teams need to use two people to defend Jones, because it is not possible to defend Jones alone, no one can keep up with Jones's speed, if two people go to defend, there will be holes elsewhere, Costa, Hazard will have a chance.
But now Liverpool has used an equally amazing Chamberlain to limit Jones, which greatly limits Jones's play, in fact, this method is not unused, but few people can keep up with Jones's speed.
Even if there are such defensive players, there are no attacking players like Salah, Mane and Firmino, and the other attacking players of Chelsea who are pressed have no chance to attack.
This kind of attacking instead of defending is the best defense, whether it is in Chelsea or Real Madrid, they are strong teams in attack, so they are not afraid of the opponent's success, because they are always better attacking than their opponents.
Not to mention, this kind of tactical play really caused a lot of trouble to Jones, and Jones is actually no stranger to such tactics.
Jones has played against many teams, many coaches have used this method, and the effect can only be regarded as average, even if Jones is restricted, as well as Costa and Hazard, after all, not every team is Liverpool, there is a player who can follow Jones closely, and so many attacking players, so that Chelsea can only concentrate on defense now.
It's just that what Jones didn't expect was that by the time Liverpool used such a method against himself, it would have an effect, and it was obviously very good.
Of course, now is not the time to think about that, he has to figure out how to change the team's passive situation.
In the 28th minute, Kante barely passed the football to the middle under the pressure of Henderson, but because of the haste, the pass was a little lacking in power, Jones quickly chased the football, just stopped the football, did not have time to make any action, Chamberlain, who had been following him, was a sliding tackle, Jones had to jump to dodge, and the football was shoveled out of bounds by Chamberlain.
Now Jones's teammates are difficult to give him a comfortable pass, and on the other hand, Chamberlain is like a shadow, as soon as he crosses the midfield, Chamberlain will immediately follow Jones.
Jones has to say that Chamberlain is really difficult, Jones now has no other way but to withdraw to the half to get the ball, but this retreat, Jones received an unexpected result.
In the 30th minute, Jones received a pass from Christensen in the backfield, because Jones is now weak in attack, so he retreated to a deep place, and Chamberlain did not follow, so Jones received the ball very comfortably.
Jones strode forward with the ball, and when he was about to rush through the midfield, Chamberlain posted it, Jones shook continuously, trying to get rid of the other party, but Chamberlain is now very familiar with Jones, he doesn't eat Jones at all, just clings tightly, where Jones goes, he follows.
Jones was really helpless about Chamberlain's close marking, Jones aimed at Alonso, who was inserted from the left, and was ready to pass the football over and play a match with him.
Jones made a passing gesture, only to find Alonso with the shadow of a Liverpool player next to him.
Chamberlain, on the other hand, also took a step to the left, and it seemed that as long as Jones passed the ball, he would reach out and break the ball.
Jones' reaction was quick, his right foot turned into a push, pulled the ball back, and then gently flicked the outside of his right foot with the instep of his right foot, aimed at the front of the field, and gave the ball a long pass.
Jones saw the space in front of him, and he also saw Costa's sudden turn, so he immediately passed the ball over, and as for whether Costa could run to the position to receive the football, then there was nothing he could do.
"Accurate passing! Costa showed up and caught Jones' long pass, and Costa dribbled straight into the box! ”
Costa was a good runner and was on the path when Jones' long ball started to fall.
On the sideline on the right side of the penalty area, Costa easily unloaded the football, and between Costa's stops and buttons, Van Dijk was dangled behind him, and then followed, Costa had already rushed into the box with the ball diagonally.
However, this attack was not able to find the back of the net, Costa was squeezed out of space by Lovren's body, and his final forced shot hit Lovren's foot, and Karius jumped up to take the ball flying in mid-air.
"It's a shame that Jones barely got the ball in 30 points and didn't have a good performance, so this time the long ball was really beautiful, it was a good chance to score, but it was ruined!" The Chelsea commentator said with pity.
"It's a shame really, but I think if Jones can threaten Liverpool with his long pass now, then he will be able to make a second and a third time!"
It was Chelsea's best chance of scoring in the first half, and Costa, who didn't take it, was annoyed, kicking the turf hard and cursing in his mouth.
Jones is also very sorry that such an opportunity did not turn into a goal, but more than that, it was excitement, he felt that he didn't have to go into the half, he still had the ability to play a long pass, and he had played a position back before.
