98. The match with Chelsea
1 February 2009, Anfield, Liverpool, England.
Today it was crowded with people, and the fans dressed in red were like red water, turning the entire Anfield stadium into a sea of red. And that small area of the blue camp seems to be a little insignificant, and the gap is too big.
However, the Chelsea fans are not stage frightened at all, they are frantically cheering for the team, as if this is their own home stadium, they completely regard this as their turf, they are anti-guest, and they don't care what kind of devil's home stadium is Anfield.
This game is very important for both sides, no one can afford to lose, for this game both teams are well prepared, and now both teams are waiting for the game to start.
"Hello everyone, this is Sky Sports, and today we bring you a highlight match in the 24th round of the 2008-2009 English Premier League, against the Reds Liverpool and the Blues Chelsea." Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson immediately stepped forward and said.
'It was definitely a good game and neither side wanted to lose. Sky Sports commentator Gary 61 Lineker immediately brushed up on his presence, "Now the players on both sides have played. β
Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson immediately said: "Let's give you an overview of today's starting line-up for both sides, first of all, let me introduce you to the starting line-up of the home team Liverpool today.
Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson immediately said: "Today Benitez is a 4231 formation, which is exactly the same as when the last League Cup team Chelsea game, it seems that Benitez is very confident in this formation, he thinks this formation will definitely be able to restrain Chelsea, the goalkeeper position is still Liverpool's main goalkeeper Spaniard Reina." β
'In the back four, Aveloa, Daniel 61, Joel Luka and Luke Young have changed a lot at the back and it seems that it has been affected by Carragher's injury. Skrtel, who was brought in during the winter transfer period, did not appear in the starting line-up and sat on the bench. Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson said.
'Settled 61 Ferdinand's prospects at Liverpool now don't look great, and today with Carragher injured, he still didn't have Rafael 61 Benitez's trust, instead bringing full-back Joel Luka to the centre-back position. Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson said.
'In the midfield position, Benitez today is the partnership of Steven Gerrard and Mascherano. Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laursen was slightly surprised, "Because Xavi 61 Alonso was injured unexpectedly, he has to rest for a while, so now Gerrard and Mascherano are the two of them as the back combination." β
"And now there is very bad news that Real Madrid seems to have cut off Liverpool's Spanish midfielder Xavi 61 Alonso, and they are ready to pack Xavi 61 Alonso and Chris in the summer transfer window, which is definitely not a good thing for Benitez." Tim 61 Laurson worried.
"In the front three positions are Kuyt, Chris 61 Qiu and Arshavin." Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson continued: "Half a season has passed, the Russian Tsar has been getting better and better at Liverpool, and today he may have played an important role! β
"At the top is still the center forward Fernando 61 Torres from Spain." Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson continued, "Fernando 61 Torres has been in a very good mood recently, this guy has made a big splash in the selection of European Footballer of the Year and Shijie Footballer, and now people are in good spirits on happy occasions, I don't know if there will be a haode performance today?" β
"That's it! Thiem gave you a brief overview of Liverpool's starting line-up, and now I'm going to give you a brief overview of the visiting Chelsea's starting line-up for today. Sky Sports football commentator Gary 61 Lineker said immediately.
'Today Chelsea coach Scolari was in a four-two-three-one formation. Sky Sports commentator Gary 61 Lineker said, "In the goalkeeper position, of course, it is Czech goalkeeper Petr 61 Cech, there is no suspense. β
'The four at the back were Bosingwa, Ricardo 61 Carvalho, John 61 Terry and Paul 61 Ferreira, and today Chelsea's Ashley 61 Kerr was not in the game for unknown reasons. Maybe Scolari believes more in the Portuguese players. Sky Sports commentator Gary 61 Lineker was a bit surprised.
"In the midfield position it's Deco and Michael 61 Ballack." Sky Sports commentator Gary 61 Lineker said, "This back line looks very elastic, and both of them can attack and defend, which is very good. β
'The three in the forward line are Malouda and Frank Lampard African buffalo Essien. Sky Sports commentator Gary 61 Lineker said, "This is the same as the arrangement of the first leg of the season between the two sides, it seems that Essien is still going to Arshavin, but the performance of Esin in the first leg between the two sides is not particularly ideal, I don't know what will happen today?" β
"At the top is the African monster Didir 61 Drogba." Sky Sports commentator Gary 61 Lineker said, "Looking at the lineup sent by Scolari, we know that Chelsea's midfield defense is very strong, and it seems that Chelsea is trying to contain Liverpool's best midfielder!" β
"Haode, at this time, we have introduced the starting lineups of both sides, and now that the game is full, let's focus on the game." Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson said immediately.
"Haode, the players from both sides have already played, and the game is about to start." Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson said.
Today is Liverpool's home stadium and the Liverpool captain certainly won't worry about being teased by a caddie at Stamford Bridge last season. This has become a daxiao handle for Gerald, and there are still people who talk about it from time to time.
The Chelsea players from afar were also very cautious today, and they didn't want to be as ugly as Steven Gerrard and become the laughing stock of after-dinner conversations.
At this point, the players on both sides immediately split into two halves and prepared for the start of the game. The captains of both teams followed the referee to pick the side, and soon the captains of both teams returned, and Liverpool had bad luck today, and the ball was taken away by the damned Chelsea people.
"Haode, spectators, please hold your breath, this game is about to start, and the home team Chelsea should kick off first." Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson said immediately.
"Toot!" The referee blew the whistle to start the game.
Standing in the middle circle, the African monster Didir 61 Drogba gently squeezed the ball a little, and then rushed towards Liverpool's half. Frank Lampard in the centre circle immediately passed the ball back to Deco in midfield, and then slowly ran towards Liverpool's half.
βhaodeοΌ The referee blew the whistle for the start of the game, with the home team Chelsea kicking off first. Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson said. Chelsea today wore their traditional blue shirt and were attacking from the left side of the TV screen. Visitors Liverpool, on the other hand, wore their traditional red shirt and attacked from the right side of the TV screen to the left. β
As the referee's whistle blew and the match between Chelsea and Liverpool officially began, the Anfield stadium erupted in a deafening cheer and the fans on both sides erupted into the hottest shouts to welcome the game, and the Anfield stadium reached its first climax of the day.
When Deco arrived at Chelsea, he immediately became the heart of Chelsea's midfield, the engine of midfield, with the support of manager Lucel Scolari. However, Deco's performance at Chelsea has been less than satisfactory. Although Deco occasionally has amazing performances, it is not stable, and its performance is sometimes good and sometimes bad.
However, Deco is flying well today, and he can feel it himself. As soon as he got the ball, he looked up at Didier 61 Drogba who was rushing forward in front of the field, and then, he immediately kicked the ball towards the ball, and a big foot drove the ball to the line where Drogba was inserted.
Deco's pass is very good, and the speed and angle are very appropriate, which makes Drogba very comfortable.
Drogba gave Deco a thumbs up in his heart, and at the same time, he buckled his foot directly past Liverpool defender Steven Gerrard, who pounced. Then push the ball forward and shoot directly at the edge of the penalty area.
"Long shot! Drogba! Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson roared loudly, startling Liverpool fans.
"Ahh Seeing Chelsea's striker Didier Drogba suddenly shoot with his feet, the Liverpool fans at the scene were shocked and screamed, they never thought that Chelsea's first shot would come so quickly, they were all stunned.
The Chelsea fans were thrilled, jumping wildly, their hands raised in the air, their eyes fixed on the speeding football, their hearts full of prayers that the ball would smash the Liverpool goal.
Fast! Chelsea's first attack and first shot on goal really came too quickly, and even the Liverpool players on the pitch did not react, especially the Liverpool goalkeeper Reina in front of the goal, at this time, he was unprepared.
Seeing the football flying over, Reina beat the drum in his heart, and he immediately moved in a hurry, showing his teeth and claws like a funny big crab, which made the Liverpool fans on the scene even more frightened.
Is this the rhythm of conceding goals? This game has just begun. Occasionally buy Karma's. Liverpool fans felt a wave of sadness and worry in their hearts. Liverpool manager Benitez on the sidelines is more worried, is this going to be unfavorable?
Boom! With a loud bang, the ball flew out of Drogba's feet like a cannonball, and flew straight towards the Liverpool goal.
"Danger!" The commentator on Liverpool's local sports television station roared in horror when he saw the ball flying towards the Liverpool goal like a meteor falling in the night sky. This made the Liverpool fans in front of the TV even more nervous.
