PS: Look at the exclusive story behind "A Generation of Ball God Zhang Tiehan", listen to your more suggestions for the novel, pay attention to the starting point Chinese network public account (WeChat add friends - add public account - enter ddxiaoshuo can be), quietly tell me!

At the beginning of the game, the commentator introduced the starting line-up of the two teams, Chelsea lined up a 442 standard lineup, it is worth noting that Robben, who had just recovered from injury, started the game, that is, Chelsea had a full-back in this game, and the full-back on the other side was Mikel.

Benitez frowned when he saw Chelsea's starting line-up.

Arjen Robben and Milk are both technical midfielders who can provide a steady stream of support up front on both flanks, which will continue to cause problems for Liverpool's defence.

However, this is not a sharp threat to Liverpool, after all, Liverpool is mainly defensive, and in terms of defense, the Spaniard is still very confident in the team, in addition, Robben has just returned from injury, Mikel has played very little, and their table is uncertain.

What worries him the most is Zhang Tiehan.

Zhang Tiehan appeared in the front line, he and Didier Drogba were paired with two strikers, and with the support of Chelsea's two wings, Benitez was not sure that he could limit Zhang Tiehan's play. A Zhang Tiehan is enough of a headache, plus Drogba, Mr. Warcraft is still very deterrent, such a forward combination is definitely the first in the Premier League, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the first in the world, fortunately, Chelsea is not the kind of team that is good at playing technical cooperation, and Benitez also hopes that Chelsea's internal instability is still unstable, after all, Boas has just coached Chelsea, and he is not famous at all.

However, Zhang Tiehan's appearance in the front line is still worrying.

Benitez has been the head coach of Zhang Tiehan for a season, so he naturally knows Zhang Tiehan very well, and he knows very well that Zhang Tiehan belongs to the kind of player who can't be guarded, and before the game he originally thought that Zhang Tiehan would appear in the midfield. In that way, try to prevent him from having long-range shooting opportunities, which is different in the front line, which means that Zhang Tiehan will get it relatively less, but as long as he gets the ball, the threat will become much greater.

It was quite unexpected.

Zhang Tiehan played for Liverpool last season, and Benitez used him more as a striker. But that's because Liverpool has Gerrard and Alonso, to Chelsea, Zhang Tiehan is more in the middle of the midfield this season, Grant likes to play Zhang Tiehan as the core, so that Lampard's lack of skills is to make up, Chelsea's overall attack will be more fluid.

But Lampard's partner was Michael Ballack.

Needless to say, the combination of Frank Lampard and Ballack is needless to say, Boas must be hoping that Ballack can show something, and the German captain has been more on defense this season. Attacking his contribution is not very much, but this is by no means to say that Ballack's offensive ability is not strong, in fact, he is a versatile player like Lampard, who can attack and defend, maybe there were not many offensive tables before, and the more reason is Zhang Tiehan - Zhang Tiehan is the core partner Lampard, and Ballack plays. Either as a wing-back, who is not very good at it, or as a defensive midfielder. There are not many natural offensive tables.

Now that Ballack is a central midfielder, he will almost certainly be part of Chelsea's attack and will be a key player in Chelsea's attack.

Benitez can't be sure.

"How about Barak's specific expression? Will he be able to adapt directly? Benitez has been thinking about this question, but it's useless to think about it, just watch the game and you'll know the answer

Villas-Boas didn't make any more changes to the team, he just put his starting line-up on his own. That's all.

In his opinion, Zhang Tiehan is undoubtedly the most important scorer.

It's not an attack, it's a goal!

Zhang Tiehan's most outstanding ability is not what dribbling, not his body, nor his strong body. The most intuitive ability is to score goals, and his ability to grasp opportunities is much stronger than other players, so Villas-Boas arranged Zhang Tiehan in the front line, and the reason is as simple as that.

As for the combination of Frank Lampard and Ballack, Villas-Boas also has something to consider.

Just like Benitez thought, he also felt that Ballack had nothing to show before that he was suppressed, Ballack's strength did not need to be questioned at all, with the strong body of the German captain, there would not be too much problem of not adapting to the Premier League, so the key is whether he has been taken seriously.

There is no doubt that when Grant was coaching, Ballack was not taken seriously, perhaps because there are too many stars in Chelsea, and the players who can play in the middle of the midfield are Zhang Tiehan, Lampard, Makelele, Essien, Mikel, Grami, etc., these players are very good, and it is difficult for the German captain to squeeze out the positions of Lampard and Makelele, not to mention Zhang Tiehan, who has a fixed position.

But now Boas intends to take advantage of this one and give Ballack a chance.

Happily, after the start of the game, Ballack's appearance was not bad, at least his passing and running proved that he is a qualified midfielder, and how big his specific role is, it is impossible to see for a while, Boas can only watch slowly.

Soon ten minutes passed.

In the first ten minutes, the two teams exchanged attacks and defences, and Chelsea and Liverpool had a lot of chances, and both sides played okay in attack, but there was no real threat so far, which still proved that both teams defended well.

Chelsea and Liverpool are two such teams.

Both teams put a lot of emphasis on defense.

In the Premier League, when it comes to defense, everyone can think of Mourinho, but in fact, Benitez's defense is no worse than the Portuguese, everyone knows that Liverpool's football is rough, and the Spanish team brought by Benitez has not been able to change this, and Liverpool, with rough skills, has won two consecutive Champions League trophies by relying on defense, perhaps because of defense, their results in the league are not good - they have too many draws.

But it is undeniable that it is the defense that allows Liverpool not to fall behind too much in league points even when they are not in good form.

Jose Mourinho left England for Italy, while Rafael Benitez remained at Liverpool and continued to lead Liverpool in the Premier League, following the departure of Zhang Tiehan. Benitez is still strengthening the team's defence, and the defensive thinking he brings has been ingrained in the team, and it can be said that Liverpool are doing better defensively than Chelsea now, which can be seen from Zhang Tiehan's ten minutes of basically not getting any chances.

Liverpool defended very tightly against Zhang Tiehan.

Carragher, Pennant, Gerrard, Zhang Tiehan always has these players around him. Their defense was very tight, and the most important thing was to use the numerical advantage to block other people's passes to Zhang Tiehan, which made Zhang Tiehan very helpless, and also made the other Chelsea players very helpless.

However, with such a tight defense against Zhang Tiehan, Drogba was under much less defensive pressure, and there was always only one Ager by his side.

Ager is a rising star in the game, currently only 22 years old, and Otter Rabbit joined Bombby's youth team as early as 12 years old, and was promoted from the youth team in July 2004. With the departure of Swedish defender Andreas Jakobsen, he was not only a regular selection, but also a part of the team's 2005 Danish league title.

Half a season later, Ag was voted "Player of the Year" by the Danish Professional Football Association.

A season later, Ager joined Liverpool, where he began to show his quality, and after half a season, he became Liverpool's main centre-back. Replacing Hyypia's main position, even Liverpool talked about Ager. On August 26 last year, Ager scored his first goal since joining in a league game against West Ham United - a 32-metre long-range goal, and Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez commented after the game that he was not surprised by Agger's goal. Because he also scores these kinds of goals a lot in training.

In this game, Ager was in charge of defending Drogba.

Ager did not play in Liverpool's last round against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, so this is his first game against Chelsea and the task of defending Drogba will be daunting. Benitez kept telling him before the game, and Ager is trying to do it.

Now he has experienced the hardship, especially Drogba's body and strength, which is not something that ordinary people can compete with, Agger is also very strong, he has a height of 191, a weight of 80KG, and he is also a big man, but defending Drogba still makes him feel very hard.

But most importantly, he has not made any defensive mistakes so far, Drogba has not found any good opportunities, and Ager has done a good job of defending it.

He's also happy that he can keep Didier Drogba at bay, as there are very few defenders in the world who can do it alone.

But Ager seemed to be a little happy too soon.

This wave of Chelsea attacks is coming.

After a few passes, the football reached Drogba's feet, Drogba was at the front of the penalty area, when he saw Ager also coming, he took a step forward, looked left and right at the position of his teammates, Ager thought Drogba was going to pass the ball, but Drogba suddenly started to accelerate, rushed past Ager, and waited for Ager to react and then turn around to defend It was too late.

"Drogba! Drogba! He rushed past Ager! Anfield stadium commentator Woodgate exclaimed.

Drogba didn't stop at all, he took a few steps into the box.

Carragher, who was staring at Zhang Tiehan, could only choose to give up Zhang Tiehan to make up for Drogba, but Drogba still had a chance to shoot, because Carragher's position did not have a great impact on Drogba, and he still had an angle to shoot, but just when everyone thought Drogba was going to complete the shot, he chose to pass.

A horizontal push!

Everyone paid attention to Drogba, but the Liverpool players were a little loose in their defense of Zhang Tiehan, coupled with Carragher's departure, there was actually only one Pennant next to Poster, and Zhang Tiehan rushed directly past Pennant and ran to the position.

The next work is simple for Zhang Tiehan.

Lift your feet.

Shot!

The football flew into the Liverpool goal without any suspense, and the goalkeeper Reina didn't even make a symbolic action, just watched Zhang Tiehan kick the ball into the goal, and even after Zhang Tiehan scored, Reina showed him a very helpless look, which was like remembering the scene of training with Zhang Tiehan last year - Reina didn't catch the ball from the goal at that time, with his understanding of Zhang Tiehan, it was impossible not to score such a ball, so he didn't bother to pay attention to it.

This may be a negative game situation, but it also illustrates Reina's helplessness in the face of Zhang Tiehan's shot.

Either way, Chelsea took the lead.

1:0。

With Zhang Tiehan's goal, they took the lead over Liverpool at Anfield. (A good event for pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!)
