The first half of the Premier League clash between Chelsea and Liverpool ended with Liverpool leading the home team Chelsea 2-1 for the time being.

Carlo Ancelotti was the first to enter the tunnel with a serious expression and a visibly heavy mood.

Koeman will not be very relaxed either, and the lead is only temporary.

The players from both teams returned to the dressing room, and the overall fighting spirit of the Liverpool players was better, but the frustration of individual players was obvious.

Torres grumbled under his breath.

'Are Chelsea focusing on the wrong people?'

Aurelio couldn't help but laugh when he heard him complain.

Koeman told the team: "You did a great job in the first half! It wasn't an easy game, Chelsea caused us a lot of problems and I'm sure you've felt it, and in the second half we have to be more serious and I need to remind you not to lose to Chelsea's muscles! We have to be tenacious against them, and at the same time, we have to stay focused, we have to be aware of the changes in the situation, and we have to keep an improvisational mindset, you know? ”

The whole team replied collectively: "Understood! ”

Koeman then gave a brief reminder and adjustment to the individual players' performances.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Falling behind at home at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea are in a battling form.

Carlo Ancelotti has been quite effective in dealing with the frame skipping after Liverpool's change of formation.

By compressing space in the middle of the midfield, the quality of Chelsea's overall defence has improved.

Liverpool began to struggle with mercury-trickled passes in the middle of the pitch.

In the 48th minute of the game, Qin Xiong dribbled horizontally after receiving Alonso's pass on the front waistline, and he paid attention to the defensive movements of Ballack and Essien. The Blues' two giants don't rush up to intercept them as soon as their brains are hot. The distance and position were very good.

They were all waiting for Qin Xiong to make the next dribbling breakthrough. Once Qin Xiong does this, they will preemptively cut off the ball at Qin Xiong's feet!

With Frank Lampard behind him ready to press at any moment, Qin Xiong made what he thought was the right choice and passed the ball to Kuyt in front of him.

As soon as Kuyt touched the ball, Ballack dropped back and squeezed Kuyt's space in possession with the back line, and Kuyt immediately passed the ball to Torres.

After Chelsea compressed the back line and saw Qin Xiong as their first defensive target, Torres was given more chances. At the very least, he has the option to pass or shoot after possession, unlike in the first half, when he either couldn't even receive the ball or was forced to lose the ball less than a second after possession.

This time Torres turned and dunked the ball straight into the box, he tried to get past Terry, but the experienced Terry got stuck in position, and Hilario calmly confiscated the ball.

Liverpool's campaign came to an end.

Chelsea's compression of the midfield defence freed up the full-backs to attack.

Bosingwa was without the huge pressure that Qin Xiong gave him in the opening game, and Ashley Cole was not willing to be lonely enough to insert an assist at the right time.

In the 53rd minute of the game, Ashley Cole received the ball from Frank Lampard in the middle and walked along the left wing, and Drogba withdrew from the box and moved to the side to meet Ashley Cole. After a one-two, Ashley Cole crosses the bottom!

The ball goes around the heads of two of Liverpool's centre-backs. Seeing Anelka, who flew to the right in front of the penalty area, Mascherano appeared in front of Anelka in time and used his body to interfere with Anelka's stop.

Anelka, who was forced to frustrate, headed straight to create a chance for Frank Lampard, who was cut in behind, but Carragher decisively stepped forward to clear the ball with a header.

The two teams seem to be back in a stalemate offensive and defensive state.

In the 58th minute of the game, Qin Xiong was fouled by Essien with his back, and the referee awarded Essien a foul, Qin Xiong stood up and moved his body, feeling that this was completely different from the degree of aggression usually violated by the opponent.

A direct free kick almost forty yards away from the goal, Qin Xiong blasted a lift ball, but unfortunately the ball failed to hit the goal range and was slightly above the crossbar.

Five minutes later, Drogba caught the ball in front of the penalty area and then played a diagonal pass to Anelka, who crossed the middle and Frank Lampard burst past Alonso's defence and fired a blast!

In anticipation of countless Blues fans at Stamford Bridge, the goal hit Liverpool's goal, and Reds fans were looking forward to Reina.

When Reina's palm touched the ball slightly changing its trajectory and causing it to fly off the baseline, the Reds fans applauded Reina!

'Frank Lampard had another dangerous long-range shot, but Reina's save was even better! Both teams are now struggling to get their hands into the opposition penalty area and rely on long-range shots to try and change the scoreline. ”

As the game reached the 70th minute, both teams began to look for changes.

Liverpool may be because of the lead in the score, and now the team is also a little hesitant, like this kind of strong dialogue, don't expect to kill the opponent all over the body in the away game, it's good to win!

So with 20 minutes left in the game, perhaps defending to secure the win is the best option.

Obviously there is no way back for Chelsea and they have to fight desperately for an equaliser.

However, the positional warfare attack cannot play too delicately to tear apart Liverpool's defence, so they can only come in a tough and tough way.

They began to play mid-to-long passes, using Didier Drogba as a fulcrum to threaten the attack.

In the 73rd minute of the game, Bosingwa assisted to the front of the field, he made a 45-degree cross to send the ball to Drogba, Drogba stopped the ball on his chest and wanted to complete the shot in one go, but Skrtel blocked the ball he shot with his body, and the rebounding football fell at the feet of Alonso, who dribbled horizontally to avoid Lampard's counter-attack, and then looked up to observe the situation ahead, only to see Qin Xiong running from the middle of the front waistline to the left wing, because there was a large vacancy.

Alonso made an instant decision and teleported out diagonally on the spot, with unmistakable precision.

Qin Xiong unloaded the ball with his right foot on the side, then started the dribble and took the inside cut line to the penalty area.

His diagonal inward cut was deceptive, making it impossible for Terry and Essien to escape their defensive responsibilities, so when Qin Xiong drew two Chelsea defenders on the edge of the box, he suddenly kicked the ball back and shook Essien off to look down the middle, where he struck a light-hearted cross-ball away.

Gerrard cut in from the middle and Ballack was with him, but he couldn't block Gerrard's vision.

Kuyt cut in from the right side of the box between Carvalho and Ashley Cole, Torres slipped diagonally between Carvalho and Terry, both strikers have a chance to form an anti-offside position, Gerrard, what choice? (To be continued.) )
