When the ball flew into the goal, the whole Anfield stadium was boiling, and the Liverpool fans were in a frenzy with the words of the on-site commentator.

"The ball is in!"

"Zhang's goal! First goal! ”

'It's his second goal in the league but against Chelsea and it makes more sense than the last one!'

Many people are praising the goal, but more people are discussing Liverpool's series of offensive cooperation just now, and it is a series of cooperation that allows Zhang Tiehan to find a gap and find an opportunity, and in the face of the attack, the goal seems to be taken for granted.

Many media outlets were quite surprised.

As far as they know, it is difficult for Liverpool to play such a coordinated attack, especially among the players involved, there is Zhang Tiehan, which is even more surprising, Zhang Tiehan's personal ability is recognized, but he is not recognized in terms of cooperation with his teammates, this aspect should be said to be Zhang Tiehan's weakness, but now it seems to have become a strength?

How is this possible!

If this goal was scored by Zhang Tiehan directly through Carvalho and found an opportunity, perhaps everyone would not be surprised, but it is too surprising to cooperate with Alonso to find an opportunity.

"Zhang and his teammates did a good job......"

"It can be seen that Zhang has a very tacit understanding with Alonso and Gerrard's passing, and he seems to know that Alonso will pass back when he passes, and Carvalho has no reaction at all."

"Has anyone sued me, is this really Zhang?"

A number of media commentators have expressed their opinions, all of whom have found Zhang Tiehan's appearance surprising, Liverpool's cooperation is also surprising, and some of them have found problems, such as Sky TV commentator Alf.

As early as when Zhang Tiehan played for Wigan Athletic, Alfi had already become a fan of Zhang Tiehan. It's just that after Zhang Tiehan went to Italy, Alfe only commented on Zhang Tiehan's game on the spot when he broadcast the Champions League match between Rome and Manchester United for a year, which made him a little regretful.

Now Alfi has another chance, because Zhang Tiehan has come to Liverpool, and his job is mainly to explain the Premier League games.

During the commentary on the key battle between Liverpool and Chelsea. Alfi reappeared.

Alfei can be said to know Zhang Tiehan quite well, but now Zhang Tiehan on the field makes him a little incomprehensible, "If someone sues me that Liverpool's No. 13 on the field is someone else, I will definitely believe it, because I can't imagine that it was Zhang who made such a cooperation." But in the end, that shot sued me, and that was Zhang! ”

"That's right, it's Zhang! He scored and it mattered. The way he and his Liverpool team-mates combined in attack was astonishing. It's hard for me to imagine that a center forward who is good at using his body can play such a delicate game with his teammates......"

Not only Alfi and other commentators and the media, but also Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho in the away team dugout at Anfield Stadium was also surprised, he did not expect Zhang Tiehan to do this, which is completely different from the information he knows.

Jose Mourinho's arrival at Chelsea was followed by a successful season in Roma. But this is the first time his Chelsea game has played against a team with Zhang Tiehan, but Mourinho still knows a lot about Zhang Tiehan. In fact, there are not many teams in the world who don't know Zhang Tiehan, and with Zhang Tiehan's appearance in Rome, his influence has reached the world, even if those teams in other national leagues have the potential to meet Liverpool. They're going to get to know a little bit about it, not to mention Chelsea as league rivals.

But according to Mourinho's understanding, Zhang Tiehan belongs to the Drogba type of player.

He is physically strong, good at heading and grabbing points, and his shooting skills are quite strong...... The advantages are numerous. However, the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, the technique is not as good as the midfielder, and the relatively tall center forward is more difficult to play with his teammates than other positional players, and they are better at being the final shooter.

But obviously Zhang Tiehan on the field is not like this now.

He is very good at cooperating with his teammates, even a small range of subtle cooperation, it can be seen that he may not be as good as Gerrard and Alonso in this regard, but the gap is not very big, at least he can do it with others, run out of the open space to find opportunities, there are really not many center forwards who can do this, Zhang Tiehan definitely belonged to the majority before, and now ...... Mourinho unconsciously stood up from his seat in surprise.

He somewhat understood why Benitez would put Zhang Tiehan in midfield.

Zhang Tiehan can fully adapt to the position of midfield, after nearly 30 minutes of play, Mourinho has seen that Zhang Tiehan's position is not a striker, he is more like a forward midfielder, with him in Liverpool is equivalent to five midfielders, except for two full-backs, they have three people in the middle of the middle, Gerrard, Alonso and Zhang Tiehan, plus the support of the backfield players, it is difficult for Chelsea to occupy an advantage in the midfield competition.

He is able to work well with his team-mates and is very capable of being a man of his own...... Such a player is terrible!

At this time, Mourinho regretted even more that he did not bring Zhang Tiehan into the team.

But now is not the time to regret it, Liverpool scored a goal, Chelsea is in a passive situation, the team must stabilize the defense, to really make adjustments at halftime, Mourinho thought about it, and finally called Terry, let Terry tell others, pay more attention to defense, play defensive counterattacks, don't fight hard with Liverpool in the midfield.

John Terry understands what Mourinho means, which is to let the team shrink defensively, stabilize the defence first and then seek to attack.

Chelsea's best thing is to defend and counterattack, last season many media ridiculed Mourinho's Chelsea as 'utilitarian football with 1:0 tactics', which is also a fact, in order to win, it is essential to defend more, this is the easiest way to win, but it is the pursuit of attack, and the backfield is prone to loopholes.

It didn't take long for Chelsea to effectively execute Mourinho's tactical changes.

Chelsea began to shrink their defence, their formation was pulled further back, and as a result, Chelsea's defence was more solid, and it was more difficult for Liverpool to penetrate the defence with their combinations.

But at the same time, Liverpool also have a big advantage.

The feeling on the field was that Liverpool were pressing Chelsea's attack, and Chelsea were putting on a stubborn look, which was very strange, and I didn't expect the game to play like this.

'Chelsea started defending, it looked like they were trying to hold on until the break, but they were the ones behind. Few people were optimistic about Liverpool before the game, but the way the game was played, Liverpool's advantage was clear......" Some commentators began to talk about the situation.

Some commentators began to mock Chelsea's conservatism, saying: "They only defend, and last season Jose Mourinho's side won the league with that, which is a real step backwards in football. ”

When one side chooses to defend, the game will not always look good, which is why many people hate Mourinho's team, his team will always put defense first, and Arsenal, although the results are not as good as Chelsea, but Arsenal's games are always attacking, and the styles of the two teams are almost diametrically opposed, so although Chelsea's results are very good, there are always many people who are dissatisfied with them, even including some Chelsea fans.

However, choosing to defend did not violate the rules of the game, and in the face of Chelsea's tactical adjustments, Liverpool could only choose to continue attacking.

Benitez was also helpless.

It's good for Liverpool now, but if the team presses up and attacking, the defense will be shaky at the back, and Chelsea are the best at taking advantage of that, and once Chelsea choose to defend and counter-attack, Liverpool will play with their hands tied up, which is not what he wants to see.

If you want to get out of this situation and take the initiative, you have to score more goals.

If they can score another goal, then Liverpool have nothing to worry about, slow games, Chelsea will always attack, because they have no other options, and only one goal ahead is very unsafe, Chelsea only need one counter-attack to equalise.

Benitez understands this, and the Liverpool players on the pitch also understand that it is not the first time they have played against Chelsea, and they know Chelsea quite well, so Liverpool's attack is more fierce next.

Jose Mourinho will be hoping to hold on to the first half, while Liverpool will be looking to score another goal.

However, Chelsea's defense is very solid, it is not so easy to score, and the two teams play very tough, as a result, there is more friction on the field, in order to defend well, Chelsea even did not hesitate to use foul tactics to stop Liverpool.

With 41 minutes played, Chelsea centre-back Carvalho made a very dangerous foul.

Zhang Tiehan took the ball to the front of the penalty area, and when he wanted to wade past Carvalho, the latter made a tackle directly on his side, but the ball did not reach the tackle, but it shoveled Zhang Tiehan's leg, Zhang Tiehan was shoveled and fell to the ground, but he temporarily staggered his position and did not suffer any serious injuries.

After grinning for a while, Zhang Tiehan still stood up from the grass, and many Liverpool fans watched with fear, scolding Chelsea and Carvalho.

As a result, the referee gave Carvalho a yellow card.

It wasn't a red card, and it still made Liverpool fans quite unhappy, but Carvalho's tackle was next to him and not behind him, and it can't be said that he did it on purpose, a yellow card is normal, and Liverpool also got a direct free kick opportunity.

……

Steven Gerrard and Alonso were in front of the ball and they were discussing what to do with the penalty kicks.

Gerrard had the heart to shoot, but it was a little too far from the goal, and he looked at the goal and finally gave up, and if he wasted this opportunity, it would be a bit unworthy.

Alonso didn't even think about shooting, it was a bit too far for him.

It's fine if the ball is hoisted into the penalty area, but Chelsea's defense of the penalty area is very tight, and there is little chance of letting Zhang Tiehan and Cisse fight for the top, otherwise pass the ball to reorganize the attack?

The two of them were a little unsure about paying attention.

"Let's pass the ball!" Gerald said.

Alonso shook his head, "I think it's better to go straight to the penalty area, Zhang is very good at heading. ”

Gerrard is right to think about it, now is not the time when the team's forward line was weak last year, now there is Zhang Tiehan on the front line, Zhang Tiehan and Cisse or Morientes can become one of the best strikers in the Premier League.

Zhang Tiehan suddenly ran over, "I'll try it!" (To be continued......)
