Chapter 252: The Game Continues

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, Liverpool changed their strategy in the second half of the positional battle, and turned to high and high, Liverpool's Henderson frequently pulled the side to the right, and after interfering to drive the attention of Christensen and Cesc Fabregas's defense, Coutinho created an opportunity to cut into the middle.

In the 48th minute of the game, Moreno's long diagonal pass from the back field passed the ball to the right side of the front, Henderson grabbed the header in front of Azpilicueta, and the football he pushed to the middle was rushed past Cesc Fabregas by Coutinho with a chest stoppage, and then Coutinho sent a through ball to Henderson, who was running diagonally.

Henderson caught up with a ball in the box and volleyed it against the turf towards Chelsea, Courtois was well prepared and quickly moved to the ball rolling line and slammed it firmly under his palm! It was Chelsea's turn to attack.

In the 54th minute, Chelsea players took the lead in creating a possession threat, and then Eden Hazard met Jones' cross from the flank, forcing the Liverpool back line into the box and tearing Liverpool's defensive line apart.

Eden Hazard then fed the ball back to Cahill, who cut in at back, and Liverpool could roughly guess that Chelsea were still creating long-range chances for the midfielders as they did in the second half of the first half.

But one detail has changed, Jones did not rush into the box, but retreated! As soon as he retreated, Gomez and Matip were embarrassed, and they couldn't rush out and run after Jones at this time, right?

As Jones retreated, another Chelsea player, Costa, quietly swooped down the flank into the box, and before Cahill could press for it, Cesc Fabregas fired the ball and the ball rolled to the left.

Jones stopped the ball unmarked and flicked the ball to the middle, in front of him was the seemingly tight and orderly Liverpool defense, and there was almost no space in the penalty area, so it didn't make much sense for him to break through, it was not a wise choice, at this time Jones directly chose to hit the goal, and a signature elevator ball blasted out!

The ball flew over the dense crowd in the box and then plunged quickly to deliver a precise blow to the Liverpool goal!

If it weren't for the ball being too far away, almost thirty-five yards away, Mignolet would have had no choice, but even if he was given plenty of time to move, Mignolet was still a little frightened.

Football is so erratic! He wanted to hold the ball in his arms during the pounce, but the slightly erratic trajectory of the football made it impossible for him to block it with both palms! After being blocked by him, the ball bounced into the box.

At this time, the Liverpool defense was extremely tight, Hazard was targeted by Milner and Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Sturridge also stealthily grabbed Hazard's shirt.

But on the left side of the penalty area, Gomez and Joel Matip, as well as Clavan, they didn't have a target, they were going to target Jones, and after Jones retreated, their mark-to-man defense was a bit of a mess.

In addition, Jones's long-range shot was so visually stunning that they felt a real panic after seeing the ball bounce back, and the ball that happened to be blocked bounced off was bounced into this area.

In front of Clavan, before Gomez quickly chased back to destroy the football, a figure bent down and hit the football with his head in the gap between the two, and then saw the football fly into the goal by grazing the inside of the goal post!

There was a dead silence at Anfield, and the Liverpool player looked at the ball rolling in his goal in disbelief before looking back at the goalscorer.

Costa! Kodic stood up from the sideline dugout and applauded, a big smile on his face, Klopp was grim-faced, but still calm, he walked to the sidelines, without any instructions, and at this point, he really didn't know how to contain Chelsea's attack.

And this conceded goal, the accidental factor naturally exists, and there is only one point that cannot be ignored: Jones's retreat and reversal!

The richness of Chelsea's attack is reflected in the fact that many players in the attacking group can switch positions freely and play unexpected effects after switching, which is what Chelsea have been unable to defend against this season, as it will completely disrupt the defence's marking.

'Chelsea equalised! Shortly after the start of the second half, Chelsea played a positional battle up front, Jones's long-range shot from about 35 yards was saved by goalkeeper Mignolet, but Mignolet did not control the ball, and the blocked ball was headed into the goal by Costa, who cut into the box!

At 2-2, Chelsea equalised with a goal from Costa and the advantage Liverpool had built up in the first 30 minutes of the first half was wiped out! ”

The Chelsea players ran to hug Costa to the sidelines, and after receiving the cheers of the Chelsea fans, Costa was congratulated by his team-mates when he turned around, and after Cesc Fabregas high-fived him in celebration, Jones put his arm around Costa's neck and smiled in his ear: "It feels good to score at Anfield, right?" ”

Looking around at the sea of red in the stands, it felt good to be a member of the Blues and turned to Jones: "I'm starting to get a little high!" ”

Jones laughed and said, "Then go ahead!" ”

In particular, the Liverpool players on the field felt a huge challenge and pressure that was fast and breathless! Chelsea equalised and had the attacking advantage to be nothing short of fatal.

Liverpool's mentality had apparently changed since kick-off, and their attack became fierce, and Klopp, who had seen this phenomenon on the sidelines, made a number of gestures, but the attention of the players on the pitch was on the game and there was no time to observe what the manager was instructing.

Jurgen Klopp knew in his heart that if the Liverpool players could not calm down, but changed their stance because of the change in the scoreline, then the next game would be extremely dangerous.

In the 58th minute of the game, Moreno dribbled on the side to the front, he crossed the ball in front of Cahill to the middle, and Henderson, who was pressed by Christensen, made a decisive move, he chose to pass back, and then inserted the assist Matip directly and sent it straight away.

The ball rolled into the box and Henderson cut in diagonally behind Cesar Azpilicueta to finish offside and meet Alonso's through ball.

At this point, Courtois had also dropped out of the net, trying to block Henderson's shot as far as he could, and by the time Henderson adjusted to his right foot to shoot, Courtois was already in front of him.

Henderson chose the latter between getting past Courtois or shooting straight at goal, and he slotted the ball into the far corner with the inside of his instep, but Courtois subconsciously opened his arms to block but missed.

All eyes were on whether Henderson would score the goal, but when the ball flew off the line about 20 centimetres outside the far post, the Liverpool fans let out a huge sigh of loss and the Chelsea fans exhaled in relief.

Liverpool's onslaught can create danger, but the threat is still relatively weak compared to their previous attacks that seized golden opportunities to play counter-attacks.
