Qin Xiong didn't run two steps before he came to Chelsea's back line, which was almost 25 yards away from goalkeeper Petr Cech's position!

The back line was outside the box and, of course, Villas-Boas allowed Chelsea to press high.

Definitely not if it were Mourinho and Carlo Ancelotti, not even Ranieri and Grant!

But the young boss arrived at Stamford Bridge with big ambitions, and he was pretentious, and his success in Porto made him think the Premier League would be his place on the world-class stage.

Today, from this moment on, Liverpool teaches him to be a man again!

Suarez pressed the ball under Terry and passed it diagonally to Qin Xiong's running line.

Qin Xiong rushed over wildly, as if he didn't even look at it, and directly picked up the pass.

The ball flew diagonally between David Luiz and Branislav to the depth of the left wing.

Baines was the first to get to the spot, stopping the ball and slamming it into the box.

After passing the ball, Qin Xiong continued to run forward, and David Luiz could only chase Qin Xiong after turning around!

Suarez also rushed past John Terry in an offside position.

Stamford Bridge seems to have changed dramatically!

Chelsea's back line has been completely blown out!

The spectators in the stands saw three Liverpool players coming to the city!

And the Blues were alone in front of goal!

Some of the Reds fans were already smiling with excitement on their lips, while the Blues fans were dumbfounded and shocked!

Baynes didn't drag his feet and swept the ball towards the centre of goal on the edge of the box after seeing his team-mate's offside success.

Qin Xiong rushed to the scene, and Cech abandoned the door.

Qin Xiong didn't stop the ball and pushed it directly into the lower right corner of the goal!

He played it very easily and without any hesitation.

Petr Cech made a save at the moment he shot, but the angle of Qin Xiong's shot was too tricky, and Cech flew to the end but still couldn't touch the football.

Turning his head, the football flew straight to the bottom right corner of the goal!

Suarez raised his arms and ran towards Qin Xiong with a roar, and Qin Xiong turned to the sidelines with an indifferent expression to celebrate.

He kept patting the team crest on his chest towards the visiting fans' stands.

"Wow! Liverpool played a quick counterattack, after Baines quickly advanced the offensive on the side, Liverpool completed a simple cooperation in the middle, after Qin Xiong and Suarez exchanged passes, Qin Xiong's kick passed through Chelsea's defense, Baines was successful against offside, Qin Xiong was successful against offside, Suarez was successful against offside!

Chelsea's back line is too far from goal!

This gives Liverpool plenty of space to counter offside.

Baines crossed, and Qin Xiong scored in the middle!

Liverpool opened the scoring at Stamford Bridge and no one expected Liverpool's goal to come so quickly.

At least it looks like Liverpool's starting formation today should have dropped in attacking strength.

But they are still so unstoppable! ”

'It seems that Koeman's tactics worked. He seized the weakness of Chelsea's high pressing, Liverpool's lineup today is very targeted, that is, to make Chelsea's attack blocked and have to press forward, and at the same time, their high pressing will definitely concentrate in the midfield, because Qin Xiong is in the middle.

But they relied on full-backs to advance their attacks!

This gives the full-backs space to push forward and then when Chelsea play down the flanks, the attack moves to the middle, combining the side and the centre, and then playing with speed to break through the Chelsea defence is just a matter of who runs faster.

It has to be said that this is the result of Koeman's serious work.

Villas-Boas is a stubborn manager, and in the defeat to Arsenal, Chelsea have exposed the weakness of the failure of the high pressing tactics, but he still insists on persevering like this, and Chelsea are worried about today's game. ”

"Gary, you're right. The defensive strategy and tactics of high pressing are complex, because a highly unified football action is required to achieve a high pressing steal, which requires the participation of forwards, midfielders, defenders, and goalkeepers, which is actually a very complex tactic! And first of all, this is a radical departure from Chelsea's defensive strategy over the past many years, where Chelsea have excelled at compressing space at the back and delaying the opposition's attacking tempo, rather than forming a perimeter in midfield. ”

"Even a team like Barcelona that is good at high pressing will fail, and high pressing also pays attention to key defensive areas, more representative is that in the previous season, Barcelona was defeated by Liverpool in the Champions League knockout round over two legs, their high pressing in the front court repeatedly failed, so that Liverpool can continue to play fast attacks and counterattacks, and eventually led to the goal being frequently breached by opponents, a year later, Guardiola met Liverpool again in the Champions League final, In that game, Barcelona's high pressing key area was obviously retreated, while focusing on protecting the defensive space in the penalty area, the final failure was not a problem with technology and tactics, but only a superstar duel, Liverpool's superstar played better, when the team skills and tactics almost reached a stalemate, Qin Xiong's individual performance was better than Messi's, and finally Liverpool successfully defended the title. If we look at the match between Real Madrid and Barcelona last season, we should remember how Real Madrid was beaten 5:0 by Barcelona, right? Real Madrid also want to contain Barcelona with high pressing, and the result? Frequently being beaten through the defense by Barcelona to form a single knife, Real Madrid is like abandoning Casillas in their own penalty area, allowing Barcelona to shoot wildly after anti-offside, since then, Mourinho has given up the tactics of pressing high against strong teams, and now we can always see that Real Madrid plays fast attack and counterattack with a top lineup, rather than pressing the opponent, whether attacking or defending.

If Villas-Boas doesn't make on-the-spot adjustments now, it will be a matter of time before Chelsea concede another goal, especially since their central defenders are not reliable, Terry did not play well against Arsenal, David Luiz has been in trouble since last season, and his form does not look very good today, plus the midfield defense is not at the top level, and the interception efficiency is mediocre, in this case, Chelsea still dare to use high pressing tactics? ”

Dare!

To be exact, Boas can only do this now!

He couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he saw his team trailing in the score.

After Liverpool scored the first goal, his pressure increased sharply, and he only felt like he had been beaten with a dull stick, and he couldn't react for a long time.

He studied Liverpool's performance over the past few games.

He was more worried that Liverpool would go on the defensive once the blitz was successful, and Chelsea's positional strength would not allow him to rise to the ambition of a reversal.

What's more, Liverpool put forward three defensive midfielders today, which made Chelsea's positional battle even more difficult.

In such a situation, in Boas's view, Chelsea can only hope to reverse the opponent if they continue to insist on pressing high, forcing the opponent to make mistakes in the transition between attack and defense, and seizing Liverpool's mistakes! (To be continued.) )
