Chapter 245: Pre-Game Commentary
Since the start of the new season, Chelsea have won 12 league games, five Champions League games and two EFL Cup games, and whether the fire set off by the Blues can be extinguished, Fleet Street has set its eyes on Liverpool with anticipation.
The Daily Mail has issued a highly eye-catching Premier League Round 12 preview headline: Who will stop the Blues Chelsea!
The article said that if Chelsea won their 13th league game, I am afraid that Chelsea will establish a considerable advantage in the first half of the league to attack the Premier League trophy!
You must know that Liverpool, who drew in the Champions League in the last round, are already 11 points behind Chelsea, and there is no room for loss in the game at Anfield, otherwise Liverpool will lose the opportunity to compete for the title this season.
The Guardian focuses on Chelsea's outlook mentally: the Anfield game is about the future!
Chelsea's current direct rivals in the league will be able to get past Liverpool, with Chelsea clash with Liverpool in the 13th round of the league ahead of Manchester United's 4-1 thrashing of Newcastle at Old Trafford.
Manchester City beat Feyenoord 2-0 next to Chelsea and Liverpool in fourth place, and when the rest of the games came to an end, Fleet Street and Premier League fans who cared about the battle at the top of the table had their eyes on Anfield, which was also hopeful.
Jones, who was visiting Liverpool for the first time, loved the sights, even if it was just sitting in the bus and admiring the hustle and bustle, and when the Chelsea bus pulled into Anfield, Fleet Street reporters captured the Blues players getting off the bus.
It has to be said that when Liverpool meets Chelsea, it is a star-studded football feast in itself, with both teams boasting famous players all over the world, and a big battle is inevitable.
Sitting in the Anfield dressing room, Jones watched his team-mates perform, and everyone couldn't help but look a little solemn, and Fleet Street was right.
This is another tough test for Chelsea! And Chelsea are still guests today! That was bound to put pressure on Chelsea, with Kodic standing in the dressing room calmly waiting for the players to change their shirts.
When everyone was ready, Kodic said solemnly: "I have a lot of confidence in you, and we want every Anfield crowd to remember our name today: Chelsea!" Although we have been doing well lately, it is still too early to talk about the championship, but we have to understand that the champion is the strongest, and if we want the championship, then we have to prove that we are stronger than them!
Boys, beat Liverpool on the pitch and let the world see clearly that we are not on the same level as them, we are stronger! ”
The Chelsea players echoed in unison, and then walked out of the dressing room in high spirits. On the evening of 26 November, Anfield was packed, with Reds fans holding signs in the stands hoping they could beat Chelsea, to the effect that the Blues would face Waterloo at Anfield!
When the Chelsea and Liverpool starters walked onto the pitch, the atmosphere was at its peak, and the men from both teams showed the courage and determination of a man, which was a charming charm.
"Welcome to Anfield, good evening everyone, I'm Sky Sports commentator Jamie Carragher, and today I'm going to be in Anfield with my partner Ransomware to give you a live commentary on the Premier League Round 13 match, a battle between red and blue!
Premier League leaders Chelsea are looking to challenge Chelsea at the top of the table! We also had special guest Jamie Redknapp in the commentary booth, Jamie, welcome to you. ”
"Jamie, you're right, it's really the top battle, Chelsea are now ahead of Liverpool in fourth place, but Manchester City has never fallen behind, Manchester United is starting to get regular at Old Trafford, but in any case, it's a strong conversation that deserves our attention and anticipation, a battle between the best in the Premier League." Blackmail said.
"Hey, blackmail, you told me before the game that you were going to ask Jamie a question, can you ask him now?" Redknapp said.
'Of course, Jamie, there's a saying that the person who knows you best is your opponent, and given that Chelsea and Liverpool haven't played each other this season, but they have both played Tottenham, we want to know what you think of the performance of the two teams and Tottenham.
Jamie Carragher covered his forehead helplessly, and then replied: "Do you want to be the public enemy of Liverpool fans?" We're at Anfield, we're always at Liverpool. ”
'Jamie, Chelsea have won five in a row in the league and the Champions League, and there have been many big wins, so what is it that makes Chelsea so champions so far?' Blackmail continued.
"Let me start with it, I think there are two points, one is stability, the overall structure of Chelsea's squad is stable, Alonso, N'Golo Kante, Cahill, Hazard, Cesc Fabregas, Costa and other major players have been in the team for three years, more than five years, and most of the other players have been with Chelsea for more than two years, except for Jones, who started today, a team must first have stability before it has the potential to develop, this is the first point, the second point is Kodic, I think in the last two months, We didn't hear any discord from the Blues dressing room, but he brought Chelsea closer together and, importantly, the prowess Jones became close friends with the players. ”
Jamie Carragher said: "Then let me talk about Liverpool, although Liverpool did not make a big move this summer, Liverpool signed Salah, signed left-back Roberson, signed Chelsea striker Solanke U20 World Cup Ballon d'Or, won the English great Oxlade-Chamberlain, unfortunately Liverpool did not participate in the Champions League last season, but this season Liverpool performed well in the Champions League. ”
Ransomware immediately said: "And Chelsea is very stable now, except for a little bit of defense, so Chelsea has no need to bring in reinforcements for the sake of recruitment, in fact, Chelsea is very stable and strong, Kodic now has a very ideal lineup, Chelsea to carry out the next reform, it is very difficult!" N'Golo Kante, Cesc Fabregas, Eden Hazard, Costa are all Chelsea representatives, they are all important players that Conte has cultivated or brought in, and Kodic is not as simple as bringing in one or two players to transform such a Chelsea. ”
"That's a bit of a long way to go, before the game starts, let's each predict the most dangerous player in the game, I'll come first, I think it's going to be Coutinho, this is Anfield, the Reds' home stadium, Jamie Carragher, what do you say?"
"I think it's going to be Liverpool, too!"
Blackmail immediately said: "I'll name three names, the first, Jones, the second, Jones, the third, Jones, I'm rooting for Chelsea to win, Jones is the man of the match!" ”
