On January 1, 2005, the 21st round of the English Premier League, Liverpool vs Chelsea, the Christmas finale of Liverpool vs Chelsea, finally began. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

As many would expect, even away from home, Chelsea still have a sharp attacking formation, which can even be said to go against the tradition of the Premier League style and is more like a La Liga team's style of play:

Head: Peter. Petr Cech, back three: Paul. Ferreira, William. Garas, Wayne. Bridget, midfielder: Claude. Claude Makelele, midfielder: Allen. Wang, the two wingers are Altyn. Robben and Damien. Duff, double avant-garde: Joe. Cole and Geremi, center: Eduar. Goodjanssen.

Looking at the position of the players on the field, when the on-site commentator got the starting lineup and the list of players, they were a little stunned, and it was rare for a team to dare to show this kind of offensive ability + n and defensive ability -2n formation at Anfield Stadium, which made all the Red Army fans in the audience even feel that it was a serious insult!!

It turned out that the 'pound team' did not look down on the attacking ability of the Reds!?

In fact, Mourinho is not willing to put out such a risky formation.

The Portuguese is best at defending, but as time goes on, Chelsea's record has been too great, especially in terms of attacking ability, which is of course a good thing, but not necessarily at the back. With 4 or 5 goals scored in every game, a lot of defenders are getting more and more lax about defending, and they even feel that it doesn't matter if they let their opponents score 1 or 2 goals, as long as we score more goals than our opponents, won't we be able to win!?

That's what a lot of traditional attacking teams think, like Barcelona, Arsenal.

However, this does not apply to Chelsea!! At least not for Jose Mourinho's Chelsea. But now, the team at the back, there is a serious shortage of young players, although the winter transfer window has opened, Chelsea still failed to bring in a quality midfielder, but the team of the team Baba Yaro became the first player to leave Chelsea.

Now, Captain John. Terry suspended, Ricciardo. Carvalho is still in the midst of an injury, while Frank. Frank Lampard has started back-to-back games and played the full game on an unknown number of occasions, he has no form at all, his usual training performances are really unsatisfactory, and Mourinho has had to sit on the bench for a game off.

Luckily, Mourinho still has a good card in his hand that can play - Claude. Claude Makelle, with this iron man at the back, can at least be much more comfortable defending, but even so, it is almost impossible to defend Liverpool's attack away from home, so he has to execute the tactics that many players have in mind to try to win - score more goals than their opponents!!

On the other hand, Liverpool is the main force, in fact, their substitutes are really not strong, the depth of the bench is not good, the strength of the substitute and the main force is far from the same, plus some injury reasons, Benitez's main lineup has not known how many times in a row to fight, or maybe Liverpool's players have a heart to win, they can still win three consecutive games in this continuous high-intensity game, of course, this also has something to do with the strength of their opponents:

Goalkeeper Dudek, back four: Finnan, Hyypia, Jamie. Carragher, Traore, five midfielders: Garcia, Gerrard, Xavi. Alonso, Hamann, Reese, but striker Pongele.

Wang Li stood behind the center circle with his hands on his waist, looking at the position of the Liverpool players opposite, and was a little helpless, although he is not the head coach, but he can also see that the opponent's formation can play the dead defense of the crowd tactics, and can also play the attack of the whole formation, which is definitely a test for the Chelsea backline, although he is not the coach of the team, but he still has some understanding of the crisis facing the team's backfield.

"Goal!! Score more goals!! Let them know that even at Anfield, their defence can't have an impact on Chelsea's attack. Thinking of what Mourinho said to him before the game, the corners of Wang Li's mouth curled, he knew that some of the games were played, and the key to victory or defeat was almost all on him.

As long as he can keep up with his original performance, scoring two or three goals for Liverpool and one or two assists, it will not be a problem for Chelsea to win.

But what if................

At half past 6 p.m. London time, the referee Riley went down slightly, and the game began, from the moment it began, the Reds fans in the stadium began to cheer for Liverpool all the time, and the red will instantly dyed the entire Anfield stadium!!

Field captain Claude. Claude Makele's guess coin was awarded the kick-off, and Chelsea launched a ferocious attack in less than a minute of the opening period, showing everyone the team's frenzied attacking prowess and sending the Reds fans' hearts almost jumping out of their mouths.

The willpower of the Icelandic Gudjanssen stood in the center circle, heard the whistle and passed the ball to Wang Li behind him with a back heel, Wang Li after receiving the ball, slowly dribbled forward, changed direction and dodged the tackle of the flying running Pongele, looked up at the position of the frontcourt player, and turned a big foot to the left side.

Now, Wang Li's long pass has been trained to be extremely accurate, his super strength with the precise use of internal force has made his footwork very accurate, and the training of free kicks in ordinary times has a great effect on improving the ability of long passing, and now this kind of long pass is by no means inferior to the heartthrob David. David Beckham, the heart of the team's attack and the initiator of the attack, is a great help to Chelsea's attacking play, which goes around Xavi in the air. The back of Alonso's head fell directly to Altyn. At the feet of Robben, Alonso didn't expect the opponent's 'lone ranger' like black-haired boy to have such a long pass, he has not yet entered the game, and after reacting, the Dutch kid Robben has already taken the ball towards Liverpool in the half, he waved his hand to his teammates helplessly, turned around and followed quickly.

Liverpool backfield, the closest Irish handsome Irish guy to Robben Steve Brown. Finnan was the first to react, he was about to run to the left side to catch up with his national teammate Duff, but he didn't expect that Chelsea had attacked near the team's penalty area in an instant, so he immediately abandoned his friendship and chose the game like 'forgetting the ball'.

Unfortunately, before he could step forward, Robben took the ball in a big change of direction, turning directly from the side and cutting inside to the front of the penalty area, and Finnan could only follow him to eat dust...... Then, the Dutch kid's signature in-cut long-range shot was once again staged in the Premier League, telling all Liverpool players: Don't underestimate me, I am also capable of scoring goals at Anfield!!

However, a classic save by the old goalkeeper Dudek made a big crack in the impression of the Dutch boy this time as a lone ranger, and the football was saved from the bottom line...... The old 'uncle' Dudek stood up from the ground in embarrassment, patted the grass clippings on his clothes, and pinched the bridge of his nose with his left hand...... On the sidelines, Liverpool manager Neñitez was so frightened that he stood up directly from the dugout, and he immediately walked to the sidelines of the pitch, shouting for the players to calm down and concentrate on the game, and in this case, Liverpool will repeat the same mistakes as the last game.

And the 'madman' Mourinho is still sitting in the coach's seat safely, holding his hands on his chest and looking like he is bound to win, quite a bit of 'I have a team in the world' momentum, this old man seems to be getting more and more unfathomable, but in fact he is thinking that he must maintain the demeanor of the first coach of the Premier League............... Many media expected it to be a good match-up before the game, as both teams were very good at attacking, but in fact, it was only after five minutes that they realised that Liverpool were playing defensive counter-attacks.

Benitez is not stupid, although Liverpool's attacking ability is not bad, but compared to Chelsea, who score 4 or 5 goals per game, this gap is really huge, especially after Chelsea showed their attacking power at Highbury Stadium, he clearly realized this.

Didn't you see that Arsenal, the legendary most attacking team in the Premier League, suffered a big defeat at home against Chelsea!? He doesn't think that Liverpool's attacking ability can be stronger than Arsenal's, and if he chooses to attack, he really doesn't know how to die.

Obviously, the best option is to defend and counter-attack.

Although Chelsea's offensive ability is very strong, but the defensive ability is relatively weak, even if this situation is much weaker, it is still stronger than the average Premier League mid-table team, but it is a little stretched to defend Liverpool's counterattack - that is, Liverpool has been declining more and more over the years, but the strength is undoubted!!

In this situation, the Liverpool players quickly got into the game, taking advantage of another unfavourable Chelsea attack to launch an extremely fierce counter-attack that caught the Blues off guard.

Joe. Cole made a mistake with the ball and was tackled directly by defender Hyypia, who played a through ball to Luis in midfield. Garcia, after Garcia won the ball, took two steps forward and then Xavi. Alonso made two passes and found a gap to pass the ball to Steven Gerrard in the middle.

The best midfielder in the world, Steven. Gerrard slickly slipped past two defenders and fired a long-range shot that grazed the crossbar and flew off the line...... This counterattack also announced to everyone: even if Chelsea are indeed fierce, Liverpool are not without the power to fight back!!

Chelsea have been in control of the game for 15 minutes now, but perhaps the players haven't really gotten into the game, with no more dangerous shots on goal except for the opening threat, and even a volley from the edge of the penalty area that has been kicked off the pitch has made the game seem to be in a scorching state.

……… Liverpool are by no means soft persimmons that everyone kneades, and after Chelsea failed to take advantage of their chances on several occasions, their counter-attacks finally paid off.

Alonso is a newcomer to the Premier League, at the beginning of the league, the performance was not outstanding, and the last time he faced Chelsea, he was played by Wang Li I don't know how many times, but now, as the league progresses, his special passing style has given Liverpool fans a deep imprint, that kind of sensitive sense of the game and accurate passing to help Liverpool win again and again, and also let Alonso undoubtedly stand in a main position.

In one of Liverpool's attacks, before you know it, Xavi. Marcos Alonso ran to the left side of the penalty area and three of Chelsea's defenders made a mistake and they didn't notice the rising star of the Premier League, so Gerrard slotted the ball to the left in the middle of being heavily defended by defenders. Although the ball was rushed and not accurately positioned, Alonso was unguarded, so the latter, with a freshly budding look on his face, swung his right foot straight into the edge of the box, putting Chelsea's goal in jeopardy.

Striker Pongele, who has long been considered a 'super parallel commodity' by Liverpool fans, finally made a contribution this time, when he got rid of the defender and fired a shot with a big foot without judgment, leaving Cech defenseless and the ball rolled directly between Petr's legs and across the goal line.

"Oh my God, Liverpool scored!! ~~~~~~ what a shame!! The goal was scored by 21-year-old striker Sinama. It's a bit unbelievable that Bangele, the famous French thug, actually scored the first goal. Either way, congratulations to him, it was his first goal of the season for Liverpool, it was not easy, he went into a goal drought when he first arrived at Liverpool, and now he has finally scored a goal......

'However, it is a real wonder that Liverpool can lead Chelsea, and it can only be said that they were in good form and luck today, but how long can that lead last? How long does it last? We can only hope they hold out a little longer......"

Graham's commentary is so biased that many Liverpool fans who watched Sky TV live in front of the TV were so angry that they almost smashed their TVs and computers, and many decided not to watch Sky TV live broadcasts again. On the contrary, if there are more fans of the Blues around the world, Liverpool will have a lot more fans around the world, and with the strong rise of Chelsea, the number of fans around the world is also growing dramatically, and many fans do not have the same belief in inheritance as England fans, but which team performs well and which team has their favorite stars, which will support which team, which makes Chelsea's popularity rise sharply.

After all, although it is good that the TV commentator is neutral, as a Premier League TV station, even if they have all the broadcast rights, they must have a camp, and they can't always take care of everyone's emotions, so Graham's commentary is still popular with most people, which is enough for a commentator.

Back to the point, in the 23rd minute of the first half, Liverpool took a surprise one-goal lead.

……… At this time, the big screen gave a shot of Jose Mourinho, the manager who was still sitting calmly in the Chelsea coaching box, only to see the 'madman' seeing the situation of the team falling behind, still sitting there with his hands on his chest with a calm face, as if nothing had happened.

"Look at Mr. Mourinho's expression, he sits very calmly, there seems to be a smile on his face, I feel much more at ease when I see this expression, he seems to be calm, it seems that everything is still under his control, yes, the first half of the game proved that this composure is not pretended, we should trust him......"

And on the pitch, Chelsea captain Claude Brown. Makelle couldn't help it, and while Liverpool's 'Mr. Happy', who had only scored his maiden goal in the half-time of the game, was still excited to celebrate the goal with his teammates, he ran to Wang Li's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Alan, I think you should show your strength, otherwise the team will be in danger." ”

Wang Li was stunned for a moment, turned his head and smiled, and said, "Of course, I have been working hard. ”

"But you've dribbled a lot less in the last 10 minutes." Makelele asked rhetorically with a pleading expression.

Wang Li touched the back of his head and said embarrassedly: "I just want to cooperate more with my teammates, you know, the team can't always rely on me alone." ”

Makelle nodded understandingly, "Okay, I see what you mean, but there are a lot of people watching this game, and you don't want the team to lose it." ”

Wang Li smiled and patted the French man's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I will do my best to compete in a while." ”

Looking at the expression of the black-haired boy in front of him, Makelle nodded, turned his head and ran towards the backfield.

In fact, from the opening to the present, Wang Li really did not use his best, he is trying to do more with his teammates, last night, he watched a video of Barcelona's recent game, even if he is full of disdain for the individual ability of the players, but their ability to cooperate in attack is really beautiful and threatening, really worthy of the world's top attacking team.

Although Chelsea's offensive ability is top in the Premier League, it may be much worse than Barcelona due to the different styles of the league, according to Wang Li's estimate, it can only reach the middle level of La Liga, although Chelsea certainly has its own advantages, but in this way there may be problems with Barcelona, so Wang Li wants to do more with his teammates in the game to try the effect.

However, it is more crucial to tie the score now, and when the victory is in your own hands, then you can play as much as you want.

Wang Li's idea was very good, but after the game resumed, luck fell on the Liverpool team.

Chelsea's pass in midfield was directly tackled by Gerrard, who passed the ball to his team-mate, ready to play a wave of counter-attack, after a few passes, 40 meters from the end of the penalty area, Gerrard got the ball again, when he saw that his team-mate was already in the box, he wanted to kick a high pass in the box, but he kicked it!!

The football flew high into the air, and then just when everyone in the stadium thought it would definitely fly out of the bottom line, it went straight to the dead corner of the goal during the spin - the leaf ball!!

Many people call this kind of ball a leaf ball, and Gerrard's ball is definitely luck!!

Goalkeeper Petr Cech had just put down his heart and brought it up again, but the direction of the football flight was too tricky, he jumped hard and still couldn't stop the ball, and as the referee signaled that the goal was valid, the scoreboard on the pitch became 2:0.

Liverpool lead by two goals.
