1045 The Red and Blue War is coming
On the evening of October 4, the Stamford Bridge was full.
Blues fans held signs in the stands hoping they could beat Liverpool, mostly to the effect that the Reds were going to meet Waterloo at Stamford Bridge!
When the Chelsea and Liverpool starters walked onto the pitch, the atmosphere inside the pitch reached its first mini-climax.
Most of the players on both teams showed the courage and perseverance of men, which is a very charming charm.
Beasts like Drogba, graceful like Qin Xiong, Sven like Alonso, as tough as Lampard Ballack, and as brave as Gerrard
"Welcome to Stamford Bridge and good evening, I'm Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor, and today I'm with my partner Andy Gray in the live broadcast room at Stamford Bridge to give you a live commentary on the Premier League's eighth round of highlights, a battle between red and blue!
Premier League leaders Liverpool are away to challenge Chelsea, who are second in the table!
We also had special guest Jamie Redknapp in the commentary booth, Jamie, welcome to you. ”
"Martin, you're wrong, this is not the top battle, Chelsea has slipped to fourth place in the table now, Arsenal overtook Chelsea on goal difference after beating Blackburn 6-2, Manchester United was held to a draw by Sunderland at Old Trafford, now one point ahead, Chelsea's only advantage is one less game, but less games does not mean that points have been obtained, but in any case, this is a strong conversation worthy of our attention and expectation, a battle between the real powerhouses of the Premier League."
"Hey, Andy, you told me before the game that you were going to ask Jamie a question, can you ask him now?"
"Of course, Jamie, there's a saying that the person who knows you best is your opponent. Given that Chelsea and Liverpool haven't played each other yet this season, but they have both played Tottenham, we were wondering if you spoke to your father about Tottenham's experience playing against Liverpool and Chelsea respectively? In your father's mouth, which is more difficult to deal with, Chelsea or Liverpool? ”
Sven's dashing Jamie Redknapp covered his forehead helplessly. Then he replied: "Do you want to be the public enemy of Tottenham fans? Although we are at Stamford Bridge, we are always in London. ”
Chelsea and Liverpool both took all three points at Tottenham and it wasn't too hard to win, and the two Sky Sports commentators got down to business after making things difficult and tricking Redknapp Jr.
"Andy, Jamie, Liverpool have won nine in a row in the league and Champions League, and there are many big wins, so what makes Liverpool so champion? Did Koeman bring a Dutch football philosophy? Or Liverpool themselves have the potential to win the title. It's just that Benitez didn't bring out the team's extreme abilities in the past? ”
"Jamie, let me start with it, I think there are two points, one is stability, the overall structure of Liverpool's squad is stable, Alonso, Gerrard, Carragher and other major players have been in the team for three years. More than five years, while most of the other players have played for Liverpool for more than two years. In addition to Johnson and Qin Xiong, who started today, a team must first have stability and have the potential to develop, which is the first point, and the second point is Koeman, I think Koeman has summed up the lessons of his defeat in Valencia. There is more focus on the relationship with the dressing room, we have not heard discord in the Reds dressing room in the last two months, and I prefer to believe that the effort made by Koeman has paid off and he has brought Liverpool closer together. At the same time, it is important to note that when Liverpool brought in Qin Xiong, Fleet Street once raised concerns about whether the powerful Qin Xiong would make chaos in the Liverpool dressing room, as he could challenge Gerrard's position. The result? We have seen that Gerrard and Qin Xiong have become close comrades-in-arms, not only in terms of relationship, but more importantly, there is no conflict in their position on the field! This is also a credit to Koeman. ”
When it was Jamie's turn to speak, he didn't know what to say because Andy Gray was pretty much the same.
He said helplessly, "Let's talk about something else." I agree with Andy, he has a point. ”
Andy Grey laughed and said: "Then let's talk about Chelsea, Chelsea didn't make a big move this summer, unfortunately Chelsea failed to knock out Barcelona in the Champions League last season, although we don't want to mention that game again, but after the failure of Scolari's reform, Hiddink almost brought Chelsea to the Champions League final, we actually see that Chelsea have a strong consistency." ”
Jamie Redknapp immediately said: "That's right, so there's no need for Chelsea to bring in reinforcements for the sake of recruitment, in fact Chelsea are very stable and strong, Ancelotti now has a very ideal squad, I have a view that Chelsea will be very difficult to carry out the next reform!" Because spiritually, Chelsea's soul is shaped by Jose Mourinho.
Drogba, Frank Lampard, Terry, Essien and other tough guys are the representatives of Chelsea, they are all important players cultivated or introduced by Mourinho, to transform such a Chelsea, it is not as simple as introducing one or two players, the iron spirit in the bones of the Blues will have a hemolytic reaction to reject small-scale transformation, that is difficult to combine with the style that Chelsea has insisted on in the past few years, Scolari wants to blow the samba wind at Stamford Bridge, the result? ”
"Well, Carlo Ancelotti is a top coach and he's good at going with the flow, he doesn't demand much from his boss, he plays whatever he wants, and he plays well, and that's one of the things that makes him so good. However, Chelsea lost in the last round of the league. ”
"It was an accident, Cech was sent off, Chelsea ten men should play, in the case of a balanced number, Chelsea still have the advantage, but today I don't know, the impact of Cech's absence will be predictable, Liverpool's attacking firepower this season has improved significantly, let's look forward to how Ancelotti will arrange the team to restrain Liverpool."
"Okay, so before the game starts, let's each predict the most dangerous player in this game, I'll come first, I think it's going to be Drogba, this is Stamford Bridge, the home of the Monsters, Andy, what about you?"
"I think it's going to be Torres, it's too obvious if it's Qin Xiong, after all, Qin Xiong has definitely left a deeper impression on Chelsea than Torres! Jamie, it's your turn. ”
"I'll say three names. The first, Qin Xiong, the second, Qin Xiong, the third, Qin Xiong, I support Liverpool to win, Qin Xiong was elected the best of the game! ”
"Hahaha, of course the former captain of the Reds will support Liverpool to win!"
