Ten minutes into the game, Zhang Tiehan didn't have a good look, at this time, all the reporters in the media seat were also recording the game, they were most concerned about Zhang Tiehan's table against Liverpool, seeing that he didn't have any wonderful play, the reporters felt that Zhang Tiehan was a little defended.

They didn't dare to say that Zhang Tiehan was completely restrained, but at least Benitez's defense against Zhang Tiehan was very effective.

"Benitez and Liverpool know Zhang very well, they are very targeted defensively, Zhang has a hard time trying to have a good performance in this kind of defense and now he is in trouble......"

"What's going to happen to him next?"

'In this game, Zhang and Frank Lampard partnered and it now seems that both of them don't have much to defend against Liverpool and Chelsea can only look for opportunities on the wing.

Everyone is talking.

On the field, Zhang Tiehan did encounter some troubles, the most troublesome thing is Liverpool's demeanor towards him, he is a midfielder, with a large range of activities, and Liverpool is targeted in front of the penalty area to do defense, as long as he has no ball in the past, he will face at least two people, which makes Zhang Tiehan very depressed.

But the biggest trouble came from Gerrard.

Gerrard is the core of Liverpool's offensive and defensive transitions, and he also plays a very key role in defense, often in the game, Gerrard will not have any defensive tasks against opposing players, but now Gerrard is defending against him.

Almost as long as Gerrard is on defense, his choice will be Zhang Tiehan.

Gerrard knows Zhang Tiehan too well, they have been teammates for a season, and there will be one-on-one encounters during weekday training, and Gerrard alone has caused countless troubles for Zhang Tiehan.

The clash between the two was also the focus of everyone's attention.

This time, Zhang Tiehan took the ball in the middle line and rushed forward with the ball steadily, and Gerrard greeted him as soon as possible. Zhang Tiehan did not choose to pass the ball, still slowly dribbling the ball, but Gerrard did not kick at all.

The two seem to be engaged in a psychological battle.

"Gerard is cautious!" The game commentator judged.

Others also have the same opinion, "Gerrard just posted it and never made a move, and the two were engaged in a psychological battle." It wasn't easy for Gerrard to get the ball, and it was hard for Zhang to get rid of Gerrard......"

It seems that the two of them have a sense of being evenly matched.

But only the two of them know the current situation, Gerrard knows Zhang Tiehan too well, although Zhang Tiehan is not in a hurry, as if he can grab the ball as soon as he stretches his feet, but Gerrard knows that he can't do that, because his explosiveness is not as strong as Zhang Tiehan, and Zhang Tiehan's reaction speed is very fast, if he goes out to grab the ball. Then Zhang Tiehan will definitely move the ball to the side as soon as possible, so he will lose the opportunity to continue to defend closely.

Zhang Tiehan also smiled bitterly.

He wants to get rid of the defense, but not just to prevent Gerrard from grabbing the ball, but to get rid of him, otherwise Gerrard has been following him like this, his speed can't be improved, and if the Liverpool players come over and double the bread clip, his only option is to pass the ball. Otherwise, you will concede the goal.

It can be said that in the confrontation between the two, Zhang Tiehan took advantage of a little. But in reality, it is really evenly matched.

It's a game after all.

If it is a head-to-head one-on-one confrontation, Zhang Tiehan is not afraid of Gerrard at all, but Liverpool's defense is not alone, and Liverpool's defense against him is not only Gerrard. So he didn't take advantage of it at all, because Liverpool did defend him.

But at the same time, Zhang Tiehan will also go to defense. He's defending against Steven Gerrard.

Liverpool knows him very well, and at the same time he knows Liverpool very well, and he knows very well that Liverpool without Gerrard has completely dropped a notch in strength, so his job in defense is to follow Gerrard closely.

Liverpool's teammates passed the ball to Gerrard several times, but Zhang Tiehan cut it off directly.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Chelsea played two counter-attacks in a row. Although there was no goal, it also told the Liverpool players that Gerrard was completely restrained, so you don't want to count on Gerrard in attack.

Gerald was helpless about it.

If you don't be defended by Zhang Tiehan, you really don't know that kind of depression, Zhang Tiehan is faster than him, more explosive, more accurate in prediction, and his body is much stronger than him, compared with Zhang Tiehan, he has almost no advantage at all, and it really feels bad to have such an opponent.

Gerrard didn't play much in attack from the start of the game.

It can be said that he is far worse than Zhang Tiehan's appearance in attack, in this situation, Liverpool became very passive in the game, they could not break through Chelsea's defense, and the field was suppressed for a while.

Although Zhang Tiehan didn't play much, the rest of Chelsea is good, they are not as completely dependent on Gerrard as Liverpool, even if there is no Zhang Tiehan, Chelsea still have Lampard, not to mention, they are targeting the attack on the wing in this game, and the wing is the center of gravity.

The only thing that is gratifying is that they have done a good job in defending Zhang Tiehan, but they soon knew that it was difficult to persist in this comfort.

……

It was in the 31st minute of the game when Chelsea wide Arjen Robben dribbled the ball straight to the bottom line and the Liverpool defender did a good job of keeping Robben's cross out of the line.

Chelsea were awarded a corner.

The corner was also taken by Robben and the Dutchman's foot was very good. In the central penalty area, there are four Chelsea players who have fought for the spot, namely Zhang Tiehan, Frank Lampard, Drogba and Terry, with Terry and Lampard on the periphery, and Zhang Tiehan and Terry standing in the middle and back post respectively.

John Terry and Frank Lampard were on the perimeter, but Arjen Robben still had time to rush in and grab the penalty if he passed the ball to the middle, so that the front, centre and back were all in place, and that was Chelsea's corner tactic.

Zhang Tiehan has two defenders at his side, one is Steven Gerrard and the other is Lescott, who is a rising star in the defender that Liverpool bought from Wolfhampton (Wolves) in the summer.

The two were very well defended.

Lescote and Gerrard squeezed Zhang Tiehan one after the other, but Zhang Tiehan had a slight advantage in height, and his body was stronger and stronger than the two, and he was not at a disadvantage against the two.

When Robben was about to serve, Zhang Tiehan kept glancing at Robben.

He's already figured it out.

Since the normal attack, it is difficult for him to get rid of Gerrard's defense, but in terms of grabbing corners and free kicks, it is unlikely that Gerrard wants to completely limit himself, this kind of corner kick opportunity is his own opportunity, as long as he can grab the point, he is confident that he can grab the opportunity under the block of Gerrard and Lescott.

Zhang Tiehan was in front, and Robben saw his signal.

The Dutchman took two small steps back in place, trotted two more steps and swung his foot directly on the ball, and the ball was whipped straight into the air, crossed an arc and fell.

A lot of people are judging the location.

There is a 'see through' magic skill, Zhang Tiehan judged it at the first time, and then he squeezed Gerrard to move a step to the left, this step is very difficult, Gerrard didn't judge the position of the football at all, he knew that his judgment was definitely not as good as Zhang Tiehan, and he didn't want to destroy the ball, just thinking about not letting Zhang Tiehan find a chance to head the goal.

The idea is simple, straightforward, but also effective.

But Gerrard couldn't fight Zhang Tiehan physically after all, he was still squeezed a step away, and Lescott next to him had just judged the position, he didn't expect Zhang Tiehan to suddenly exert his strength, and when he reacted, the football had already fallen.

Lescote jumped up!

A rising star defender at Wolfhampton, Lescot has played in League One and the Championship, and although it is his first Premier League game, he has a lot of experience in the game, and he knows that he can't get the ball, but this action is just to deceive Zhang Tiehan behind him.

But he didn't know what Zhang Tiehan relied on to grab points.

False shaking or something, it is of little use to Zhang Tiehan, because he has already judged the landing point of the ball, he just pushes the ball according to the position, and Lescott's jump can't affect his realization at all, and it can't affect the 'control' magic skill, so Zhang Tiehan jumped up with Lescote without the slightest hesitation after squeezing Gerrard away, and jumped into the air behind him.

Football has swept to the corner of the eye!

At this time, Gerrard wanted to defend, but his body couldn't keep up, he could only watch Zhang Tiehan jump into the air, his head wanted to swing forward, and the football hit his forehead and changed direction and went straight to the goal!

Liverpool goalkeeper Reyna stood in front of them, but the football flew towards the back point, and the Liverpool players who were blocking in front of the goal didn't have time to react, and the football flew past them and rushed into the goal.

……

The moment the ball flew into the goal, the Chelsea fans at Stamford Bridge were jubilant!

“Goooooooooooooooooooooooooal！！！！”

The on-site commentator shouted happily, "Goal! Goal！ The ball is in! The ball is in! Sheet! He scored Liverpool with a header and the score became 1-0, Chelsea, ahead! ”

"Zhang! Sheet! He had been heavily defended and when he was in the box, he was defended by Steven Gerrard and Lescott, but he still found the back of the net! ”

"This is Zhang! At the slightest chance, he can put the ball in the back of the net! ”

"One to zero! Chelsea are ahead! ”

As the commentators shouted and the fans cheered, their Chelsea team-mates rushed over to clear the goal, with Frank Lampard being the first to run, who was standing next to him, but his position was not in a good position to grab the ball, and then he watched as Zhang Tiehan headed the ball into the back of the net.

"Well done, Zhang!" Lampard laughed.

Gerrard was standing helplessly on the sidelines when he heard this, glared at Lampard angrily, and then shook his head and walked away.

Zhang Tiehan spread his hands.

On the field, they represent two teams, no matter how good the relationship is in private, they can't communicate on the field, he can understand Gerrard's feelings, but now all he needs to do is celebrate the goal! (To be continued......)
