"The ball is in! God, did the ball go in-!? ”

“Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool――！！”

"It's amazing! Liverpool took a two-goal lead at home, but the striking fact was that both goals were scored by Zhang, and he had just scored a direct free-kick from 35 metres out - it was a free-kick, not an ordinary long-range shot, not a world wave, a free-kick! Kick! ”

"I've never seen Zhang take a free kick before!"

"It was Zhang's third goal in the Premier League, but I think such a perfect free-kick will definitely be the best goal of the round!"

……

When Zhang Tiehan stood in front of the football, ready to take the free-kick, many Chelsea fans breathed a sigh of relief. Gerrard walked away, Alonso was not good at kicking long-range free-kicks, and Zhang Tiehan ...... Will he take a free-kick?

Chelsea fans are unimpressed.

As a result, Zhang Tiehan took the penalty kick and blasted the ball directly into it!

The Chelsea fans were immediately stunned, they didn't think the goal could be scored at all, and the goal went straight in, and if it was in the opponent's goal, they would be pleasantly surprised, but unfortunately the football flew into their own goal, obviously the surprise belonged to their opponents - Liverpool fans.

Just listen to the sound of Anfield Stadium.

The Liverpool fans were cheering wildly, they were all in a state of surprise, and the Chelsea fans were frustrated, and at the same time they were a little unbelievable.

How did Zhang Tiehan get the ball in?

Liverpool fans have the same attitude, and they find it incredible, what they know about Zhang Tiehan is - long-range shots and headers. Kick? It was a whole other planet thing, and they wouldn't be surprised if Gerrard had kicked the ball in. But Zhang Tiemo, the free kick can't find any connection with Zhang Tiehan at all, but the two are now linked.

They were surprised and puzzled at the same time, and so was the media.

"Zhang scored a long-range free kick!"

"This is Zhang's second goal!"

"Beautiful! Perfect! It's incredible! Zhang actually scored the ball! ”

"Liverpool probably didn't expect them to have such a first half!"

"Zhang scored two goals and dominated the game!"

……

Zhang Tiehan also looked very excited after the goal.

Actually, this ball. He didn't have much confidence before he played, but he suddenly wanted to try it, and wanted to test whether he could try to play this kind of ball, after all, it was a free kick, and there was a wall between him and the goal, and it was not easy to score the ball, but I didn't expect it to be no different from a normal long-range shot......

Shoot, score, that's it!

He plays according to his feelings. As a result, the football went straight in. Zhang Tiehan was also pleasantly surprised, he ran to the sideline and stomped his feet hard, stepped on the turf fiercely, and pointed his right leg with his right hand, as if he was saying to the fans, "Look, this leg is the one who scored the ball." ”

Before he could make his meaning clear, he was crushed by his teammates rushing behind him.

Anfield Stadium was all about the cheers of the fans.

There were also a handful of boos from Chelsea fans. They were very unhappy with Liverpool's goal, but their voices were completely drowned out in cheers. Not even a ripple can be splashed.

……

Liverpool were celebrating a goal, and the Chelsea players didn't look very good, they didn't expect the team to concede two goals or two goals in the half, especially the second goal was a free-kick scored by Zhang Tiehan.

Cech half-crouched on the ground and turned his head to look at the ball in the goal. Clenched his fists and slammed the grass hard, like he had some kind of hatred with the turf.

His face was rather helpless.

The rest of the Chelsea players weren't much better, they didn't expect the game to turn out like this, considering they were Chelsea – last season and this season, they were two goals behind at half-time in the league. It never happened, either away or at home.

But the worst face is still Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho.

Jose Mourinho has a reason to look bad, his side are two goals behind at Anfield and it's only half a game now, but the situation is not the reason for his bad face, he is not a coach who cannot afford to lose.

The most difficult thing for him to accept is that both goals were scored by Zhang Tiehan, and he can imagine what the media will say after the game.

Thinking of this, Mourinho was determined not to lose!

But now before the end of the half, my team has conceded two goals, and the next game will definitely be difficult to play...... The defense must be done well, so the next step is to drag the time to the midfield, and only at halftime can we make some adjustments to the tactics.

Looking at the tall man of more than 1.9 meters among the Liverpool players who celebrated, Mourinho was even more determined to defend.

In the face of such a Liverpool striker, you have to defend more to have a chance.

……

There wasn't much time left in the first half.

Chelsea deliberately dragged the game until half-time, and Liverpool took advantage of the power of the goal to continue to work hard, defending on one side and attacking on the other, and many people will think that Chelsea must be playing very passively.

Actually, it's not like that.

Chelsea is mainly defensive, but the shrinking defense line is defense, the whole court pressing is also defense, there are many ways to defend, obviously Chelsea is an expert in this area, they do a better job than Liverpool in defense, they are also very good at counter-attacking - I am afraid that there is no one who thinks that Chelsea with a luxury squad is not good at attacking, in short, in the game between the two teams, Liverpool actually does not have much advantage, and Chelsea's counterattack can occasionally create a great threat, which makes Liverpool dare not attack too forward.

However, Chelsea were unable to salvage the situation with counter-attacks, and their counter-attacks were very threatening, but Liverpool's attack, especially when the two teams changed hands, was more threatening, and when Zhang Tiehan's long-range shot almost broke the door of the Petr Cech, Chelsea took it seriously to realise that it was easy to concede the ball in this way, and as a result, they began to shrink the defence.

Mourinho's request to the players is that they can't concede any more goals before the end of the first half, and as for the equalizer or even the overtake, it's better to save it for the second half.

Jose Mourinho is still thinking about making changes in midfield.

Despite Benitez's reputation as a master tactician, Mourinho is convinced that he is no worse than his opponent on the spot, and the two may be rivals in this regard. A Liverpool vs Chelsea is a game for the players and a battle for the coach, and he knows that his battle with Benitez has started in full swing and now Benitez has the upper hand. It's more because of Liverpool's play, not his tactical ability, and all he needs to do is give the players confidence at half-time and make adjustments to the team's tactics so that he can bounce back into the situation in the second half.

Coming two goals down is not the end of the world for Jose Mourinho, who believes he and Chelsea can do.

When Chelsea shrank their defence, Liverpool's attack was inconclusive. How strong Chelsea's defensive ability is, that is when they really need to do this to understand, at least in the next five minutes, Zhang Tiehan did not find any chance at all, Liverpool's only shot on goal was also forced to get up in desperation, only hit a plane, and failed to pose any threat at all.

The first half of the game was over. In the end, Liverpool were unable to extend their advantage, but Chelsea did not perform well. They didn't score a single goal.

2-0, Liverpool lead.

With a two-goal lead at half-time, there was a joyous atmosphere at Anfield, but Rafael Benitez's face was grim and he knew his side were not yet sure of a victory, and Jose Mourinho was an opponent to be taken seriously. Chelsea are not going to surrender just 2-0.

If you want to win this game, you have to play well in the second half.

Jose Mourinho will definitely make changes to his tactics and they will start looking to attack, so what should Liverpool do? Is it a change of tactics to defend and counterattack? Or will you continue with your previous tactics and use a counter-attacking strategy to fight with Chelsea?

Benitez was a little undecided.

In the case of a two-goal lead. It's obviously more stable to play defensive counter-attacks, so that Liverpool can play to the lead, the opponent has to attack, and their side just needs to stabilize the defense and look for the opponent's loopholes to catch the opportunity.

But it changed the team's tactics.

If in the past, Benitez would not have hesitated a little, Liverpool's 442 was originally a conservative formation, and when encountering a weak team, it could attack, and when it met a strong team at the same level, it was a defensive counterattack formation, after all, the formation and tactics actually depend on the ability of the players who formed the formation, Liverpool was not good at attacking, Gerrard was a player with both offense and defense, if Carragher stepped forward to replace Alonso's position, then Liverpool's 442 completely became a defensive formation.

But now it's different.

After Zhang Tiehan joined the team, the new formation 4411 has outstanding offensive ability, and the defense is not bad, the power of this formation, Benitez is quite satisfied, if the formation is changed, it will be difficult for Liverpool to play an advantage in attack, but will tend to be passive in the game.

At Anfield, with a two-goal lead, Chelsea were left to defend, and Rafael Benitez thought Liverpool fans would be unhappy, but it was also the best way to win.

Defensive counterattack - the best chance of victory, almost 90 percent.

Sustain the offense - the game will be good, but the chances of victory will drop to seventy percent.

Choose one of the two.

Benitez was really hesitant.

In contrast, Liverpool's players don't have to think about it that much, they had a two-goal lead in the first half, they had plenty of reasons to relax, and every Liverpool player had a relaxed smile on their face.

Zhang Tiehan was the same, he and Gerrard walked back to the locker room with a smile and a smile.

Alonso and Cisse walked to the side and talked, they were all talking about Zhang Tiehan's second goal, Zhang Tiehan was very excited to talk about his goal, and was talking to his teammates about the feeling of shooting, occasionally 'boasting', which caused Gerrard and others to laugh.

They are really a little used to Zhang Tiehan.

The commentators in the stadium were also summarizing the first half, and Zhang Tiehan became their main topic of conversation, "At the end of the first half, Liverpool had two goal advantages, both of which were scored by Zhang, and one of them was a very beautiful free kick......

"Let's start looking forward to the second half!"

"I can't wait to see what Zhang Hui has to say." (To be continued......)
