Chapter 489: Dismounting
Not to be outdone, Salah responded: "So what, we scored five goals for Manchester City and you will be next. ”
Jones laughed: "But we're not Manchester City. ”
'It's all the same, we're in good shape, we're going to play better with the support of the home fans and we're going to win this game.'
"You guy, you're really ......," Jones smiled bitterly, "Don't talk about it, then let's win or lose on the field." ”
"Okay, let's talk after the game!"
At this time, a staff member came to remind the players of both teams to prepare for the entrance.
Hazard patted Jones on the shoulder and said: "Although what Salah said, I don't like to hear it, but ...... He's right, now that we're at Anfield, they're not going to throw in easily! ”
Costa and the others nodded in agreement.
"That's good, that's what stimulates it? It's all about this time, and we naturally have to work hard!
I'll let him know I'm not going to throw in the towel no matter where I am! Now don't talk about these useless things, let's go to the court and win or lose. ”
Everyone nodded, returned to their respective positions, and began to prepare for the game.
Finally, Chelsea had a match against Liverpool, and the Anfield stadium, which has a capacity of more than 60,000 fans, was as busy as ever, with the Reds singing and dancing in the stands with their home fans dressed in red, with slogans and banners, and the huge Liverpool flag.
The camera swept over the stands from time to time, and in addition to a sea of red, you could occasionally see a blue patch in the crowd, and a portrait of a person fluttering in the wind.
The character in the portrait is, of course, Jones.
It can also be seen from here that Jones is already the banner of Chelsea, and many fans are already die-hard Jones fans.
Coupled with Jones' thriving league and Champions League performances, as well as winning this year's European Golden Boy, many Chelsea fans fantasize that they will have a superstar who could lead Chelsea to a better future.
It is also because of Jones that Chelsea can get such good results this season, of course, the quadruple is just their wish, maybe they will miss out on the Champions League and FA Cup titles, but on the field, Jones has long been the favorite player of Chelsea fans.
The game started at 3 p.m. local time and officially began with a whistle from referee Bricht.
'Welcome to Anfield for the first leg of the Champions League semi-final between Premier League giants Liverpool and Chechel Sea.
"Historically, Liverpool are clearly better than the visitors Chelsea, but of course, the results are not to be seen, in this season, Liverpool's results in the league are very average, and now they are only fifth in the table, and it is uncertain whether they can qualify for next season's Champions League.
The visiting team Chelsea is one step away from defending the league title, the Champions League and the league have not tasted defeat, they are in good shape, and Jones in the core of the team is also a hot mess, he has scored nearly 90 goals in all competitions this season, he has scored every game! ”
"Speaking of Jones, we have to mention Salah, this game is a battle between Salah and Jones, this is a big highlight of this game, I don't know if Jones beat Salah and his team strongly, or Salah and his teammates successfully counterattacked, a counterattack on Chelsea!"
"Okay, don't say anything else, the game has officially started, let's take a look at the starting lists of the two teams, Liverpool has a lineup of 433.
The goalkeeper is No. 1 Karius; No. 66 Alexander-Arnold, No. 6 Lovren, No. 4 Van Dijk, No. 26 Robertson, No. 21 Oxlade-Chamberlain, No. 14 Henderson, No. 7 Milner, No. 11 Salah, No. 9 Firmino, No. 19 Mane
Subs: No. 5 Wijnaldum, No. 28 Dennis, No. 17 Clavan, No. 22 Mignolet, No. 2 Klein, No. 18 Moreno, No. 29 Solanke"
'Chelsea have a squad of 4,321 and the goalkeeper is Chelsea's main goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, the Chelsea goalkeeper who is now the most reassuring player in the Chelsea squad.
The three defenders are Cahill, Andreas Christensen and Cesar Azpilicueta; In midfield, the hard-waisted N'Golo Kante partnered Cesc Fabregas, while the two wing-backs were Marcos Alonso and Moses.
Jones is on the left wing, Eden Hazard on the right and Costa at the front. ”
By the time the commentators began to introduce the line-ups of both sides, the game had officially begun, and just after the kick-off, Liverpool gave the away Chelsea a dismount as soon as they started.
Just three minutes into the game, Liverpool launched a very dangerous attack.
In the third minute of the game, Van Dijk made a long pass to Oxlade-Chamberlain, who was on the side of the field unloaded the football with his chest, and in the face of Alonso's defense, he directly used his foot to take the football, and then accelerated to chase forward.
Chamberlain's technical characteristics are two words, speed, if you talk about absolute speed, Chamberlain may be able to rank in the top five in European football.
However, this is his strength, but also his weakness, because he is blindly fast, lacks rhythm changes, and many times, his forward rush cannot contain the momentum at all, and the defenders only need to jam his travel path, and he is not much of a threat.
This time, however, Alonso was ill-prepared early in the opening period, with the ball leaping straight behind him and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain flying past him.
Alonso couldn't help but foul him, and at this moment he seemed to have a feeling of facing Jones inside, because Jones's speed also made him feel powerless.
Chamberlain caught up with the football again, and without any hesitation, he got up and passed the ball straight to the middle.
The football flew to the penalty area, Liverpool was going to play the wing tactics of flying together, Oxlade-Chamberlain's pass did not eat the right part, the pass was a little back, almost next to the top of the penalty area line arc.
However, Firmino's movement was very smart, he originally rushed to the penalty area, and when he saw that there were too many defenders in the penalty area, he turned back and ran out. Salah pinned down two defenders, leaving Firmino with no one around.
As soon as Firmino ran to the top of the arc of the penalty area, the ball flew over, and Firmino did not stop the ball or raise his foot.
He used his feet to shoot at the top of the ball with a fish leap, and the header was extremely powerful, and most importantly, the ball drew a parabola in the air.
Courtois is now a little bit up front, with the ball in free fall, over his head and into the corner of the net.
Firmino gave Liverpool the lead with a beautiful header and Liverpool got off to a fantastic start.
“gooooooooooooooooo! The ball is in! The ball is in! It was Firmino who scored the goal...... It's a header that can't help but cheer! It's so beautiful! Liverpool cheer for this goal! ”
Liverpool's commentator was the first to let out his own roar of excitement.
The commentators from various other TV stations immediately applauded.
"Beautiful goal! Firmino's header was so beautiful......"
"Wonderful! Very exciting! Firmino is a natural goalscorer and he's one of the top strikers in the world! It's not just Salah who can score, any of them can score! ”
