After Mourinho left Chelsea, many people were worried that Chelsea would fall into civil unrest, but Chelsea did have a bit of a background, after Abu straightened the team's technical coach Grant, Chelsea gradually gained a foothold, although it did not get better, but it did not get worse, and there was still hope of winning the championship with 12 rounds left in the league, which is a firefighting coach, such a record has also been explained. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Mourinho stepped down and Grant became the head coach, which is the embodiment of the will of Chelsea owner Abramovich, and in the appointment of players, of course, it is also a reflection of Abou's will, so Shevchenko and Ballack have been reused.

However, as the former head coach of the Israeli national team, Grant is by no means a straw bag, he has just taken over Chelsea, and has not made any changes to the rest of the team other than the reuse of the people the owner has asked him to reuse, and has been using Mourinho's tactics, only fine-tuning in some aspects. Although Chelsea are not as stable as Jose Mourinho now, they have changed more in attack, rather than only defending and counter-attacking as they used to be.

Mourinho's departure took away Chelsea's spirit, but Chelsea's shape is still there, especially at the critical moment when the team is facing the title or exit, Chelsea's spirit is at least more than half, and the current Liverpool and the current Chelsea are playing each other, and the difference in strength between the two sides is not large.

The first ten minutes of the game proved to be as good as Chelsea and Liverpool, who had home advantage, were tied and even had a slight advantage.

But Chelsea also learned Liverpool's strength again, don't look at Liverpool has been showing weakness and taking a defensive position, but there are two counterattacks that still scare the Chelsea people, especially the time when Alonso made a long pass to Chen Yu, if it wasn't for Makelele's steal, Chen Yu was a one-handed ball.

Compared to Liverpool, there is only one real threat chance for Chelsea, who look like they have the upper hand, and this worries Chelsea manager Grant that if this scenario continues, it is likely that Chelsea will dominate the game and eventually lose the game, which is exactly what Chelsea have been best at before.

But let Grant break the current situation, and Grant can't do it, even if it is the upper hand on the field, it is also the upper hand, except for Mourinho who is willing to give up the ball, Grant is definitely not as confident in his Chelsea as Mourinho is in his Chelsea.

Turning his head to look at his coaching staff, everyone's expressions were still relatively relaxed, Grant shook his head, knowing that this time is definitely not a good time to change, although Benitez's weakness is a bit of a conspiracy, but it is not ruled out that he is worried about the physical fitness of their ace Chen Yu, in the past few days, Chen Yu has flown 20,000 kilometers and played a hard game, and it is impossible for his physical fitness to be affected.

"Dead or alive, it's going to be decided in this game anyway, so I don't care about the result."

As soon as he thought this, Grant also let go, and he simply returned to the coach's seat to do a good job and watch the game calmly.

Originally, Benitez was sitting in the coach's box, but when he saw Grant return to the coach's box and sit down, Benitez stood up and walked to the sidelines with a serious expression.

The scene of the game was actually beyond Benitez's expectations, he didn't expect Chelsea to have such fighting power and fighting spirit, which made him pay more attention to Grant, originally in the Premier League in addition to Ferguson, Wenger, Mourinho three coaches, others Benitez did not pay attention, but now it seems that Grant still has two brushes.

However, Benitez stood up and walked to the sidelines just for show, this situation is also what he hopes to maintain, although the opponent is stronger than he imagined, but he has never underestimated Chelsea, he has considered how difficult the game will be, his trump card is Chen Yu, he believes that as long as enough time is given, Chen Yu is absolutely capable of breaking Chelsea's goal.

There are two key points now, one is to defend, defend and counterattack, and if you can't hold it, you can't talk about counterattack; The second is Chen Yu's physical fitness, Chen Yu consumes a lot of time He knows very well, he can't let go of the national team's game, but the next thing is to play Chelsea, so Benitez has no choice but to save it, originally a Chen Yu with enough physical fitness can be used as two people, and now, he can only wander in front.

Twenty minutes into the game, everyone's bodies were moving, they were clear about the opponent and their own state, and there were still opportunities to make mistakes in terms of time, and the stars on both sides began to play to their heart's content.

In the 23rd minute, Chelsea launched a quick counterattack, Anelka dribbled the ball along the right side near the center circle, Liverpool's original defense on the side was heavily arranged, but when he just attacked, the midfielder plugged in, and he has not fully returned, although Anelka is not young, but the speed is still fast, and as he grows older, Anelka no longer only relies on talent to play, his overall view, the ability to read the game is not at all comparable in the Premier League, He saw that Liverpool's defense was at its weakest at the moment, so he was extremely bold to ride through the barrier, dribbling the ball from the middle circle and going straight to the bottom line.

Liverpool's defender in the middle was only Mascherano, who Pennant stepped in and has not yet returned.

The Argentine midfielder covers a wide area, but he runs past to fill in the position, and a talented striker like Nicolas Anelka has a way to deal with him.

Anelka calculated Mascherano's speed, and when he was about five or six meters away from the point where the two men intersected, Anelka suddenly made a sudden stop.

Mascherano is worried about Anelcarneche, the Frenchman has this ability, and after Mascherano fills the wing, the middle is also empty, he can't not defend, so Anelka stops, he can only stop, this is the helplessness of the passive defensive side.

Mascherano's move was entirely expected by Anelka, who immediately picked up after a sharp stop and continued down the wing towards the baseline.

Between this stop, the gap between the midfielder and the striker came out, and Mascherano was able to intercept Anelka steadily, but now he was completely thrown away by Anelka.

Anelka understood the speed of his soldiers, and after breaking through Mascherano, he continued to accelerate and headed straight for Liverpool right-back Finnan.

Finnan is now left alone, he is still a little lacking in confidence in fighting Anelka alone, when Anelka rushed to him with the ball, he felt that he could reach the ball, and he was very low-level to directly stretch out his foot to break the ball, he didn't want to think about it, Anelka was famous in the world at the age of 19, even if he didn't improve at all, he was never able to stretch his foot and break the ball casually.

Anelka just gave Finnan an illusion, and when Finnan got down, Anelka flicked the ball and passed Finnan with lightning speed.

Liverpool's players are very smart, and after Anelka got past Mascherano, they knew that Finnan probably couldn't stop Anelka, so they gave up on the wing and ran into the box to prevent Chelsea from outflanking players in the middle.

Anelka is also really good, he saw Liverpool's players in the middle of the defense, his cross may not be too effective, he cut directly into the box, Liverpool's central defender Carragra out, and then passed the ball to the box.

Nicolas Anelka did strike hard, Liverpool lost a barrier in the middle, and if it were to reach the feet of the Chelsea players, the possibility of scoring was huge.

However, Liverpool has to play defensive counterattacks in this game, and the effort to defend is very deep, and how to deal with it under what circumstances, the players know very well that Anelka's fatal pass was shoveled out of the bottom line by Alonso, who quickly returned to defense.

It was one of Liverpool's most threatening attacks since the opening, the danger was over after the ball was off the line, and although the corner kick was also a powerful weapon for Chelsea, Liverpool were not bad in this regard, and Chelsea had to have good luck scoring goals.

Affected by Nicolas Anelka's dangerous attack, Chelsea's corners were also successful.

Chelsea, who is always straight, actually sent a tactical corner, although it was just a pass, but it changed the entire defensive strategy of Liverpool, at this time Chelsea can pass, can burst, originally the corner kick tactics are one-on-one defense, and now this balance is broken, which is equivalent to Liverpool's defensive lineup being disrupted, everyone runs around, and no one can find anyone to stare at.

In the end, when Joe Cole accurately passed the ball to Lampard, a dangerous figure like Lampard was unmarked, which shows the chaos of Liverpool's defense at that time.

Frank Lampard flicked his header unguarded, intending to head it towards goalkeeper Reina, but his header couldn't support his thoughts and he headed it wide of the post.

Seeing the ball fly out of the bottom line, Chelsea's players all sighed, especially Joe Cole, who passed the ball, because just now he had two options, one Lampard, the other is Ballack, he and Lampard have a good relationship, so instead of passing to Ballack, who has a better header, he passed to Lampard, but did not expect this deviation to cause such a result.

It's okay to be counterattacked by the opponent once, Chelsea is not a weak team, but watching Chelsea make two threatening shots in a row, morale has also brushed up, of course the old fox like Benitez will not be unable to see it, of course Chelsea's morale can not be let up at this time, although Liverpool plays a defensive counterattack, but can not let the opponent play a climax, a giant team like Chelsea, which star in it is famous all over the world, they play freely, not to mention Liverpool's defense, Even Chelsea two years ago couldn't stop it.

Thinking of this, Benitez stood up suddenly, took three steps and two steps to the sideline, and waved his arms vigorously forward towards the court, "Forward!" Press it out! Gerrard, Chen Yu! Press it out! ”
