Chapter 246: The Great War Begins

Jones is more open to this game, after all, from training, he and Alonso are the front and back partners of the left attack, and the forward partners of Hazard and Costa, so there is more interaction in training, and the natural relationship has also been established.

The round of 13 begins in the blink of an eye, with Chelsea travelling to Anfield to take on Liverpool, which is undoubtedly the highlight of the round.

After five wins in a row, Chelsea seem to be unstoppable, and although Fleet Street is afraid to say that Chelsea will win this game, most of them are optimistic about Chelsea, and of course there are those who hope that Liverpool can drag Chelsea down from the lead.

However, at the moment, Liverpool is at risk of not retaining their Champions League place, so this game is very crucial for the Blues, the players of the two teams stand in the tunnel and prepare to play, to the hearts of the Reds players sigh that just four months ago they were about the same two teams, and now the gap is so big.

"Welcome to Anfield, where Liverpool and defending champions Chelsea will be playing out in the 13th round of the Premier League, and I'm Jamie Carragher, and my partner Ransomware will be commenting on the action, and we've invited Redknapp as a guest to watch and comment on the game.

"Redknapp, let me ask you a question that has nothing to do with this game, do you think Manchester United still have a chance to win the title?"

"Yes, Manchester United are now in a period of stability, as long as Chelsea and Manchester City relax a little, Manchester United still have a chance, but Manchester City and Chelsea will not make too many mistakes, they are strong now, and Tottenham Arsenal do not seem to have adjusted, but after a third of the league play, we have to admit that the Red Devils will lose to the Blues again this season."

'So Chelsea are going to win the title this season, right?'

'Chelsea should have no suspense of winning the title if it weren't for injuries, and apart from a slight weakness at the back, the Blues have plenty of personnel on other fronts and can cope with any opponent.' Redknapp Jr. said.

"Hehe, okay, blackmail, do you agree with Redknapp?"

Ransom laughed: "Of course, Chelsea's lead is too big and shows no signs of slipping, it is more consistent than last season, even if it is to juggle the Champions League, Chelsea can now take it in stride." ”

"Okay, in fact, I also think in my heart that Chelsea will successfully defend the title, to get down to business, since the topic of Chelsea winning the championship has passed, then this red and blue battle will not have an impact on the ownership of the championship, and even the championship situation cannot be affected, but who is more important to this game?"

"Of course it's Liverpool, Liverpool need points to get back into the top four and at least make sure they can play in the Champions League next season, and Liverpool also need to beat Chelsea to boost confidence, maybe that's not true, but I think if Liverpool loses to Chelsea again, then there may really be no suspense in the title!"

'Well, Liverpool's form has been up and down and the recent three wins in a row will make them more confident against Chelsea, at least they're winning, winning in a row, and that's important, otherwise there would be no suspense in this game.'

'Even so, the suspense will be very vague now, Liverpool are in great form, they have eased the devil's schedule, but Jones they are better, Chelsea are in better shape than Liverpool no matter how you look at it, even if it is an away game, Chelsea still have a better chance of winning. Blackmail said.

"Okay, then let's take a look at the state of the two teams today, Liverpool at home today put on a 4312 formation: Liverpool starters: Mignolet, Gomez, Clavan, Matip, Moreno, Henderson, Milner, Coutinho, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Salah, Sturridge

Chelsea starters: Courtois, Azpilicueta, Christensen, Cahill, Zampacosta, Drinkwater, Kante, M. Alonso, Costa, Hazard, Jones

Let's enjoy this red and blue battle together! 'When Jones stood at the Anfield centre circle kick-off and stood with Eden Hazard ready to kick off.

The commentator began to explain: both sides experienced the physical impact of the Champions League in midweek and both sent most of the main players to play, Liverpool's three-goal lead was tied a little bit of morale and exposed the hidden dangers of defense, Liverpool's main right-back Klein is still absent due to injury, which will have a certain impact on the offensive and defensive ability of the right side, and Chelsea welcomed back the right winger Moses who returned from injury, but Moses did not start.

Liverpool's current league win 3 consecutive wins momentum is positive, especially with the return of the injured midfield, it is even stronger, for Klopp, the offensive side of the front line strength is guaranteed, but the defensive end has always been an unavoidable problem, Klopp's football philosophy is to attack and defend the continuous high pressure to ease the defensive pressure of the back line, Mane and Salah's speed to use the ability of the gap behind the opponent to make the opponent unguardable, the opponent simply relies on defense is difficult to protect the goal, Once the opponent has the ability to break the high post and press, the defensive problem will naturally be magnified.

Chelsea are also on a five-game winning streak in the league, with Dewehr Kodic daring to take David Luiz from the starting line-up to establish authority, and Jones' attacking side is currently in hot form and full of intimidation.

Chelsea's league performance this season is stronger than Liverpool, Kodic's team is better in the stability of the overall offensive and defensive ends, from the technical and tactical offensive and defensive advantages and disadvantages, it can be seen that Liverpool's ability and advantages in defensive counterattacks are quite prominent, and Chelsea's side crosses and high-altitude threats directly hit Liverpool's defensive weakness, and the basic home advantage is retained in the strong dialogue, Liverpool's frontcourt attack is indeed quite terrifying with the ability to knock on the opponent's goal, and Chelsea needs to maintain the threat of Liverpool's defensive moments, Defence alone is no longer capable of picking up points, and the defeat of teams like Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur in a strong dialogue has proven that attacking is the best defence, and looking for Chelsea to win, their attack this season has been terrifying.

The commentator also started to introduce the formation: the 433 formation that Chelsea put in today was more like a 4213, with Cesc Fabregas up front in the actual attacking movement, Costa in front of him, and Eden Hazard and Jones on either flank.

In this game, Liverpool did not use Raul, and the tactical plan to contain Chelsea was to face off head-on in the middle, attacking and defending on the wings! On the left side, Salah's defence suppressed Hazard's wide assist, making him afraid to move easily.

On the right side, Oxlade-Chamberlain's attack is relied on to contain Jones's ability, and Sturridge also puts some pressure on Jones in the attack, so Chelsea's attack can only rely on the middle!

After the lack of wing support, the battlefield is concentrated in the middle, then the confrontation will be strengthened, and it is a game where every inch of land is contested.
