When Qin Xiong knocked the ball back to where he had been with his heel, Chelsea's local defense on this side instantly panicked.

Because everyone saw that Cabaye had space to possess the ball there, and if he broke forward, only Branislav Ivanovic formed a tackle.

Mereles and Ramirez immediately encircled that side again.

But they didn't notice that after a heel knock, Qin Xiong cut straight behind Cahill.

Cabaye stopped the ball on the left in front of the box and when Ivanovic rushed up, he decisively slid the ball diagonally behind Cahill.

Qin Xiong controlled the ball in the penalty area and flicked the ball inside to the side of the Chelsea goal.

Terry was a little hesitant to guard against Suarez's running on the one hand, and to interfere with Qin Xiong's shot on the other.

In the past many times against Qin Xiong, Chelsea's defense has been penetrated by Qin Xiong in this way.

Once he moves, Qin Xiong will definitely give Suarez a nanny ball.

But Terry doesn't have to worry about it.

Because Qin Xiong didn't give him more time to think.

After a step of lateral adjustment, Qin Xiong decisively got up and shot at goal.

A powerful volley blasted the ball into the top right corner of the goal!

Cech made the first save, but his fingertips couldn't touch the football, and when he looked back, he saw the ball hanging in the dead corner!

Anfield boiled instantly!

Qin Xiong roared and rushed to the sidelines, waving his fist at the Reds fans in the KOP stands!

Heading towards the Champions League final!

This is the cheering slogan of the Reds fans for this game.

'Liverpool broke the deadlock on the pitch! From Qin Xiong, Baines, Cabaye's exquisite cooperation!

After shifting and transposing on the left side and passing the triangle, Qin Xiong cut into the penalty area and adjusted horizontally and shot the ball into the goal!

Chelsea's dense defence was unable to withstand Liverpool's attack.

1:0

Defending champions Liverpool have built up an advantage at home and now they are on their way to reaching the Champions League final for the third year in a row! ”

Chelsea's players have been struck by lightning, and they rely on tight defence!

Chelsea beat Barcelona 1-0 at home in the first leg and drew 2-2 away at home.

It can be said that Chelsea have no advantage at Barcelona's home stadium except for Torres at the Camp Nou where Barcelona pressed heavily and won a one-on-one tie.

At Anfield, the same is true.

But the worst part was that Chelsea conceded first!

Coman gestured to the team as soon as the team took the lead and counter-attacked!

Liverpool contracted as a whole, Gerrard retreated to play full-back, Cabaye retreated to central midfield, Qin Xiong played forward, and Suarez played forward.

Liverpool immediately changed formation to 4411.

Di Matteo didn't expect Liverpool to change so quickly and so utilitarianly!

Immediately after taking the lead, play the counter-attack.

This is pushing Chelsea to a dead end!

If Chelsea are to play a positional battle, I am afraid that there will be more than luck.

Does Di Matteo dare to bet?

Dare to bet at Anfield?

Can't!

Neither will the Chelsea generals!

Because Liverpool wants to compete for the championship on all fronts, it naturally does not care about whether the team's style of play is too utilitarian at this time.

Chelsea continued to defend intensively, while Liverpool also shrank their defence.

This made the game incredibly dull.

Both teams were barely able to penetrate the opposition's penalty area and create a dangerous attack.

The scene was extremely uneventful.

The confrontation was more than fierce, and the offensive threat was insufficient.

After the first half, the two teams returned to the dressing room, and Koeman's instructions to the team were simple: calm down!

Liverpool will understand how difficult the situation is right now.

The slightest carelessness may collapse across the board.

So Gerard and Qin Xiong also spoke.

They worked hard for a season, overcame a lot of difficulties, and if they fell at this time, no one would be reconciled.

So everyone continued to defend and counterattack in the second half.

Chelsea wanted to see if Liverpool would be aggressive in the second half in pursuit of an extended scoreline, but Liverpool showed a steady stance and left Chelsea with nothing to do.

The Liverpool fans in the stands continued to cheer on the team, and they didn't have any opinions about the team's style of play.

Standing on the sidelines, Koeman carefully watched the changes in the game.

For him, with a long knowledge of Chelsea combined with control of Liverpool, he thinks one goal is enough to kill Chelsea!

Yes, a one-goal lead, then play a counter-attack!

It's not that Chelsea's positional battles are bad, but once Chelsea take the initiative to attack, then Liverpool's fast attack and counter-attack can definitely break down Chelsea's defense!

In the second half, Liverpool only created some threat with two long-range shots.

In the end, the two teams played 1-0 in 90 minutes, and Liverpool won by a narrow margin.

Speaking at his post-match press conference, Koeman said of the victory: "Chelsea's tight defence alone is not going to make it easy for Liverpool to score, and Qin Xiong scored a goal worth a fortune that would determine the outcome of the semi-final.

Now we are ahead, we are in good form and we will go back to Stamford Bridge in a week and I believe we can knock out Chelsea and reach the final. ”

Chelsea boss Roberto Di Matteo was frustrated by Liverpool's approach at home after the game.

'It's unthinkable that the defending champions are playing in such a utilitarian manner, and of course everyone is criticising Chelsea for playing conservatively, but we've had a lot of ups and downs this season and if we can make the game beautiful we will try to do it, but Liverpool are following a similar path to Chelsea and it's clear that they have lived up to expectations.

A week later, Chelsea will be on display at home to make a comeback and progress to the Champions League final! ”

Qin Xiong's golden goal against Chelsea allowed Liverpool to go to the second leg of the semi-final with a lead, which made Qin Xiong a hero of the team once again.

Liverpool can't manage so much now, and their title race has come to the most critical juncture.

Sandwiched between two Champions League semi-finals is a league game.

The penultimate round of the Premier League!

Arsenal made their debut at the Emirates Stadium in a London derby against Chelsea.

Chelsea defended with all their might to stay in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final, while Arsenal bombarded the Chelsea defence at home in a fight for four points.

Unfortunately, Van Persie, who has carried Arsenal forward this season, is also ineffective, and Arsenal can only accept a 0-0 draw with Chelsea at home.

After the game, Arsene Wenger rebuked Chelsea's style of play, believing that Chelsea had not improved in ten years!

Di Matteo ridiculed him: "Chelsea is going to play the Champions League semi-finals, Arsenal can't even enter the semi-finals of the Europa League, who has improved and who has regressed, it is clear at a glance!" (To be continued.) )
