Chapter 350: Naturally
The media, fans, various commentators, and all kinds of football bricks all think that there is no suspense in this game, which is from the perspective of the lineup and the general trend.
In terms of lineup, the gap between the two teams is huge.
Whether it is the front, the midfield, the back, the three fronts, Chelsea's advantage is very large, in terms of price, except for the forward line Zhang Tiehan's value is much higher than Crespo, Gudjohnsson, on other fronts, Liverpool has an overall disadvantage, and it is a great disadvantage.
In terms of table xiàn, Chelsea's substitutes, what is the difference between the main force, these substitute players are all big-name stars alone, under Mourinho's rotation system, to say that they are not too many substitutes, they still have a lot of opportunities to play, and the table xiàn is also quite good; Liverpool's lineup is really dismal, Liverpool's substitutions are really substitutes, and their strength is really not good, such as defender Josemi and others, who are not very suitable for the Premier League until now, and many times they will not even have the opportunity to play.
Not to mention the lineup, in terms of the general trend, this is Stamford Bridge.
The home team naturally has a home advantage, and in Chelsea's home stadium, Chelsea has countless supporters, while Liverpool is certainly not as good as at home.
Together, Liverpool can get a draw, which may surprise many people's eyes.
The Liverpool commentator was also quite disappointed, "I was expecting it to be a good game, but from the Liverpool line-up, we can see that the manager Benitez probably didn't take the game to heart. ”
"But it's understandable, after all, this game doesn't mean much to Liverpool, it's not a good choice for Chelsea to fight for the first and second place in the group, and Chelsea will not necessarily lose to Liverpool's all-out main force with this set of substitute lineups."
"There's still something to watch in the game."
The Liverpool commentator can't say that he doesn't want to watch the game because of Liverpool's lineup. Fans can do that, but as a commentator, it's his job to explain the game, so he hurriedly found something else, "This game, although many of the main players didn't play. But Zhang still came on the pitch and we can expect Zhang's goal"
Even the fans could tell that he was a little insincere when he said it.
Others also have the same idea, many of Liverpool's main players did not play, which means that there is a big gap between their strength and Chelsea, so the overall confrontation will definitely not be as good as Chelsea, the scene will be suppressed, and the attack will be suppressed. In such a situation, how can a striker not have a chance, no matter how good he is?
Nobody knows.
Some people still have expectations, but they can only keep them in their hearts, and if they say that they can't achieve it, then it's better not to say it
Truly.
As Liverpool's commentators and fans think, Benitez doesn't care about the game.
As a manager, especially for a team like Liverpool. The first thing to think about is the team's results, and he wants to fight Chelsea as well. The win over Chelsea would have boosted Liverpool's morale and satisfied a lot of media and fans, but it would not have been worth the cost.
Is there a big difference between group 1 and group 2?
There may be other seasons, and it is related to the opponents in the knockout round of 16 of the Champions League, but this season it is certainly not big, because of teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, AC Milan, etc. In the group stage, there is no absolute advantage, and several strong teams have not been able to stabilize the top position in the group, that is, the team is likely to meet strong opponents in the round of 16. Is that really more than worth the loss - fight to the death, and end up with a stronger opponent? No team wants to play in a game that doesn't have the slightest benefit.
So the two teams tacitly sent a substitute lineup, and the outcome of the game did not matter.
Maybe Chelsea also want to win, their Russian owner, Abramovich cares more about face, and winning Liverpool also means that Chelsea suppressed Liverpool in the Champions League, not the Champions League to be pressed by Liverpool, which is a bit important to Abramovich, and it is a little important to Chelsea.
So Mourinho didn't give up the game directly, and still sent a good lineup.
But he didn't care about the game in his heart.
Unlike the manager, the players who play are definitely so-called in their hearts, they are the ones who care about the game the most, especially for Liverpool's substitute players, it is not easy to play once, and if they can have a good appearance in the eyes of the manager, it means that they are likely to get more opportunities to play in the next games.
For Chelsea, substitutes are also looking to compete for a place in the main line-up.
The gap between them and the real main players, the difference in strength is not big, and the gap in fame is not big, to say that there is a gap is in the team's table xiàn and Mourinho's heart, they have a good table xiàn can naturally fight for the main position, for the main position, they will work very hard every game.
Perhaps the only person with different thoughts on the field is Zhang Tiehan.
Zhang Tiehan is not worried about his main position at all, no one has ever competed for him, and now he is qualified to compete with him has long given up, so he has no pressure to play in the team at all, under such a premise, Zhang Tiehan is holding his breath and wants to show a good performance.
Everyone thinks Liverpool are going to lose.
Everyone thought it would be difficult for him to score goals in the absence of other main players and the overall disadvantage of Liverpool's squad.
He doesn't see it that way-
Lao Tzu is to let those who 'always feel that they are right' know that the outcome of the competition in which Lao Tzu participates is not so easy to conclude!
Can't score a goal? Wait and see!
The full-time game began.
The cheers at Stamford Bridge didn't stop from the first minute of the game, because they had a full name advantage on the pitch, and all kinds of numbers were very good for Chelsea, they didn't look like they were playing against Liverpool, but like they were at home against a small team, such as Wigan Athletic, like West Bromwich Albion, and so on, these teams were difficult to threaten Chelsea, and they achieved an all-round advantage.
Liverpool are the opposite.
They can't beat Chelsea in midfield, they can't do it individually. The collective amount is not good, so it didn't take long for Liverpool to be able to defend passively for more time, and occasionally push and play anticlimactic.
As many people think, Liverpool's bench is really hard to compete with in front of a strong Chelsea.
Such a game is really a constant fear for Liverpool fans. For Chelsea fans, it's the opposite. They watched the game happily and cheered for the team excitedly.
Chelsea didn't disappoint the fans either.
The goal came quickly.
In the thirteenth minute, full-back Ferreira inserted a push pass to Gremi, who got up and passed behind, Crespo successfully countered offside, formed a one-on-one knife against the Liverpool goal and scored the ball.
Chelsea 1:0 Liverpool.
After the goal, Chelsea players celebrated together, Stamford Bridge became a sea of cheers, and many media outlets praised Chelsea's watch. He also said, "Chelsea have achieved a comprehensive press, and an early goal lead, although the game has only been played for ten minutes, it seems that there is no suspense"
The Liverpool commentator looked rather disappointed.
He knew he shouldn't have brought his love to work, but as a true Liverpool fan, he couldn't help it,' Chelsea scored a goal. They are ahead of Liverpool for the time being. It's a real disappointment."
"If I had a choice, I would have liked to have a colleague take over my job"
He didn't want to watch Liverpool lose like that.
But the game doesn't always go as planned. Just like now, Chelsea have a strong squad and scored the first goal, and Liverpool's hopes of equalising are really slim.
It's true?
No!
Zhang Tiehan doesn't see it that way, just when everyone is not optimistic about Liverpool, he is still working the field. Chelsea may be more concerned about attacking. They wanted to open the score gap as soon as possible to directly decide the outcome of the game, so the defense against Zhang Tiehan was not very tight.
They seem to have forgotten about Zhang Tiehan's threat
But Zhang Tiehan doesn't have many opportunities, mainly because football is always at the feet of Chelsea, and it is difficult for him to do anything without the ball. This time, when the wave of attacks was over, Zhang Tiehan turned around and shouted to his teammates, "There is a chance to pass the ball over!" Pass it to me! No matter how it is transmitted! ”
Some people who heard it hurriedly told the others, and soon everyone knew.
Although the captain on the field is Finnan now, everyone, including Finnan himself, knows who to listen to, that is Zhang Tiehan, Benitez has never let Zhang Tiehan be the captain, one is that he is too young, and the other is that Zhang Tiehan has only been in Liverpool for half a year, but now Liverpool, Gerrard has the first right to speak, Zhang Tiehan is the second, often sometimes Zhang Tiehan has a higher voice than Gerrard, because he can score, and Gerrard is much worse.
Zhang Tiehan opened his mouth to ask, and everyone understood
They thought about it too.
Now the team is slowly advancing the attack, there will be no chance at all, in front of Chelsea's iron wall, it is too difficult for them to rely on the advancement, passing and receiving to find opportunities, then pass the ball to Zhang Tiehan, maybe he can score by relying on his individual ability?
So Zhang Tiehan's opportunities became more and more next.
The eleven members of the team, in addition to goalkeeper Dudek and Zhang Tiehan himself, as long as the other people attack forward, they will pay attention to Zhang Tiehan's position, and pass the ball directly when they have the opportunity, whether it is an air ball or a bocce ball, all kinds of passes come one after another, and the support of the whole team suddenly makes Zhang Tiehan win the ball The number of times has skyrocketed.
But Chelsea don't see any danger in that.
Many times Zhang Tiehan received the ball in a bad position, and Liverpool played like this, there will be more mistakes, they deliberately passed the ball to Zhang Tiehan, one of the three balls can not be passed to the position, there will be many balls Zhang Tiehan can not grab at all, Liverpool's mistakes become more, Chelsea's possession rate is higher, they take advantage of Liverpool's mistakes, it is easy to play a sharp counterattack.
Liverpool's shape is not getting better, but it is getting worse and worse.
But they don't seem to have thought about it, the trend or something has nothing to do with whether they score or not, they have an advantage, but Zhang Tiehan's chances have indeed increased, and ordinary players, no, the ability of the vast majority of players to grasp the opportunity is not able to catch up with Zhang Tiehan.
So in the 25th minute, when Finnan hoisted the pass in the penalty area, Zhang Tiehan rushed up and rushed to the top to send the ball into the net. (To be continued......)
