When Qin Xiong stood at the kick-off in the middle circle of Stamford Bridge and stood with Suarez about to kick off, he habitually looked at the opponent's half.

It was Drogba and Torres who came into view, and it made him feel a little weird.

It's not that I haven't met my former comrades on the court, but I've never been so fast!

Just before he left for the Ballon d'Or, he was in the same dressing room as Torres and was naked and a month later, and when he returned, he looked down at his shirt and it was still Liverpool red, and Torres' shirt had changed to Chelsea blue.

There is quite a sense of sight that things are not human.

However, he quickly put the distractions behind him and started running after the kick-off, and the game began!

Torres is very strong, the outside world thinks he is very strong, looking at his past performances at club and national team, he is very strong!

But top players and top teams don't come together perfectly.

Whether Ancelotti named Torres or not, the outside world has no way of knowing, and there is no point in discussing this point further, but when Abou took charge of Chelsea, Torres's name has always been on the list of stars that have been acquired.

Now that Torres has joined Chelsea, he needs to settle into the Chelsea system and it will take some time to get used to.

Strikers need to adapt more than other players, because strikers are the heart of the team's attack!

It remains to be seen whether Chelsea's steely style will be combined with Torres' ethereal style.

The 4312 formation that Chelsea put in today is more like a 442 with a small diamond-shaped midfield.

In the actual offensive run. Frank Lampard and Mikel are central midfielders. In front of them was Anelka.

Carlo Ancelotti had to use Torres first after his arrival. Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka also had to do so, and he had the whimsical idea to ambush Anelka behind the striker, a bit like how he used Kaka at AC Milan back then.

In this game, Liverpool did not use Raul, and Koeman was able to change at will because he had more resources at his disposal in the line-up.

The tactical plan to contain Chelsea is to face off head-on in the middle, attacking and defending on the wings!

On the left side, Qin Xiong's attack suppressed Bosingwa's wing assist, so that the opponent did not dare to move easily.

On the right flank, Kuyt's defence was used to contain Ashley Cole's ability to assist. At the same time, Gerrard has a **** tendency in attack, which is also to put some pressure on Ashley Cole.

Then Chelsea can only attack in the middle!

After the lack of support from the flanks, the battlefield is concentrated in the middle, so the confrontation will be strengthened.

It's a race where every inch counts.

Chelsea have adopted much the same strategy in defence.

On the one hand, Mikel and Bosingwa are relied on to contain Qin Xiong, Frank Lampard and Essien in the middle can fill in or resist Gerrard's impact at any time, and Ashley Cole's assist ability is relied on on the left side to suppress Kuyt.

The technical and tactical confrontation between the two teams is-for-tat.

In the first 20 minutes of the first half, the scene was stalemate, and physical confrontation became the main theme.

But after 20 minutes, both teams found their rhythm and gradually began to play dangerous attacks.

Chelsea advanced through the middle of the midfield. It does create chances on goal.

However, most of them are long-range shots from the outside, and very few penetrating attacks can find their way into the Liverpool penalty area.

This made Torres almost half scrapped in the first place. He needs space and a small range of team-mates, and Chelsea's style is a bit out of place for him.

This left Torres in a state where he couldn't touch the ball most of the time.

Chelsea failed to hit the back of the net with a couple of long-range shots, and when Liverpool's defence was dense in the middle, and even the full-backs were supporting the middle, they could not find a good chance to shoot from the goal, even if they were able to push the attack to the danger zone 40 yards from goal.

The long-range shot that barely threatened just gave the ball back to Liverpool.

The Reds' offensive attack is gradually starting to gain momentum, and unlike Chelsea, who can only charge hard in the middle, the Reds are able to play a combination of side and centre.

At least Qin Xiong was able to control the ball firmly on the left side and advance, coupled with the energetic Baines shuttling up and down, Liverpool's left side attack was full of wind and water.

In the 28th minute of the game, Suarez cut in the box diagonally behind Ivanovic to receive a cross from Baines and hit the goal, and Cech bravely blocked the near corner of the goal, making Suarez close to the goal.

Chelsea found that they appeared to have frozen Qin Xiong, which only forced Qin Xiong away from the goal, but Qin Xiong was still able to create an attacking threat with his team-mates.

In the 34th minute of the game, when Chelsea's attack in the middle was blocked, Anelka failed to break through Mascherano in front of the penalty area, Liverpool quickly switched from defense to attack, and Alonso handed the ball diagonally to Qin Xiong.

When Mikel rushed, Qin Xiong kicked the ball, the football rolled to the front of Gerrard in the middle, Qin Xiong rushed forward quickly after the ball, and when Gerrard passed the ball back to Qin Xiong's feet, Qin Xiong stood in place and controlled the ball.

Essien rushed in and Frank Lampard returned to a central midfield position to take on Steven Gerrard.

When Mikel returned, Qin Xiong made a cross with his feet, and it looked like he was about to hoist the ball into the box.

Esin was two meters away from Qin Xiong, he didn't make a move to raise his leg to block, it was naturally useless, and he would be worried that he would be overtaken by Qin Xiong's feints.

That's right, Qin Xiong feints, he didn't cross, but knocked the ball behind him with his heel.

After knocking the ball, he quickly rushed to the middle.

The clever Steven Gerrard kept Frank Lampard at bay with a move to the front right, making room in the middle of the box.

Qin Xiong knocked the football behind him and was obtained by Baines, this time Baines did not advance to the bottom line, but passed the ball from Mikel to the middle!

Essien moved laterally in an attempt to block Qin Xiong's path.

When the football rolled in front of Qin Xiong's eyes, Qin Xiong actually had a chance to shoot with his feet, and he also raised his legs to hit the goal.

Essien raised his leg to block this time, because he wasn't sure if Qin Xiong would do this.

Qin Xiong, who has not shot for a long time, will he just want to find the feeling of bombarding the goal?

He was wrong!

When Qin Xiong dunked the ball behind him with his right foot in front of him and then dribbled forward coherently to break through, Essien really felt a sense of helplessness.

Giving Qin Xiong space is equivalent to giving him infinite possibilities!

And these can be the deadliest poisons for defensive players, paralyzing, bothering, misleading, confusing their defensive judgment! (To be continued.) )
