"The quality is comparable to the red and blue duel in the Champions League semi-finals."

'If it's not a Premier League game, people might think of some interesting effect.

"In 1978, the British prince married, Liverpool won the Champions League, and the Pope died."

"In 2005, the British prince got married, Liverpool won the Champions League, and the Pope died."

"This year, the British prince got married."

Time passes.

Liverpool are passive and uncomfortable.

Chelsea, who were in control of the game, repeatedly threatened the opposition goal.

29th minute of the game.

Li Kang flickered and swayed in the red defensive line.

Suddenly the soccer ball swept out of the crowd.

"Reverse diagonal plug."

"There was a pause after Li Kang's pass, and then he stepped forward to run, and he even took Rudiger's time into account."

Rudiger stops the ball on the left side of the penalty area.

I was stunned for a moment.

Sweep the ball to the goal!

Bang!

After all, the force is still too strong.

The route is not well grasped either.

The ball flew out of bounds.

In the Liverpool penalty area, a crowd turned on their backs.

The moment Li Kang and Karius collided, the two of them opened their arms at the same time to reduce their cushioning momentum.

He had heard that the German goalkeeper had been hit with a concussion when he was in the youth team, and he still had some after-effects.

No big deal.

The two big men stopped their inertia in time, and gently "wrapped their hands and embraced" each other in full view.

Petr Cech, the Blues' technical director, couldn't help but applaud the heartwarming scene.

The tank cap on the top of the head is gone, is the tank cap in the heart still there?

At Anfield, thunderous applause.

Karius smiled brightly and patted Li Kang's ass gratefully: a classic Bundesliga-friendly move.

The offensive failed.

Liverpool throw-in.

The Chelsea players were quick to get back into place.

Rudiger's thoughts drifted away: what would happen to Lee and Karius, who had moved early, if his cross had been a little faster?

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but shudder.

"Liverpool have one of the few opportunities to attack on their own."

"The camera is given to Klopp on the sidelines, and the command is very passionate."

"The game entered the 30th minute, and the next time node is the peak of Liverpool's goals!"

"Let's take a look at this advance, it's finally changed."

Klopp's player stamina distribution at different points in time is biased towards a fixed range.

The strength trainer and nutrition specialist came from Bayern Munich.

There is also a member of the coaching staff known as "The Eye" - Kravitz.

These people told him:

It is necessary to consider multi-front operations.

The rock kick can't be held for a long time without a brain.

For example, Liverpool is a game character without a blue bar, and the skills are very powerful, but they rely on the health bar to cast the ability. In the face of monsters that cannot be easily defeated, it is necessary to distribute the health bar reasonably.

Liverpool have finally changed their line-up.

In the last 15 minutes of the first half, he tried to equalize the score and left no stone unturned.

Emre Can delivers a long ball from the ground.

Firmino suddenly retreated to receive the ball on the right side of midfield.

It's fast.

It was too late for Rudiger and Tiemoue Bakayoko to follow up.

Follow-up doesn't work either. Once the depth is followed, there will be a gap on Chelsea's right flank.

The Liverpool centre-forward then followed up with a long ball from the ground along the outside of the right.

Salah takes the ball and smashes into the box.

"Firmino's run on the pitch. It's very fragmented and scattered. ”

"Very clever pullback, barely bypassing Chelsea's double-layered net!"

"People call him the center with the most flexibility in the position!"

"Watch out."

'He's now in a position parallel to the back line.'

Pseudo-nine + trailing hybrid striker.

There is no fixed area of activity.

Especially in the stage of advancing and building up, it will make the opposing defenders very uncomfortable.

The torrent of red swept through Chelsea's half in an instant.

Mixed centre-forward - Firmino, running 'parallel' to his own high defence.

A unique way to attack.

Sadio Mane switched to a centre-forward form, roaming between two of Chelsea's centre-backs.

Fullback Robertson fills in the hole of the little black egg and turns into a striker.

Three struggling midfielders met at two points on the periphery of the attack.

Firmino was waiting.

Wait for Salah to draw the defence and wait for Chelsea to adjust their defence. He quietly stepped forward and became a "delayed terminator".

This trick was tried and tested again and again against strong teams.

With the exception of Manchester United, other European powerhouses have suffered.

It's useless against the middle and lower teams, because the defense line of the middle and lower teams is not so fast, everywhere is empty, where is not empty, Firmino is lurking and then inserting forward, it is easy to be hit by the defenders of the middle and lower teams. Stuck position.

Similarly.

Firmino is a talented centre-forward with an alternative style of play. It can't threaten Manchester United's defensive team.

'Salah drew most of the defence on the right flank.

'Chelsea fans don't need to panic!'

'The Blues are solid!'

Salah didn't break through.

In a tight space, he knocked the ball to Alexander-Arnold on the outside.

Firmino's body shook.

Now is the time.

Transform!

Drag on the Terminator!

At Anfield, all eyes are on where the football is.

A red flame that began to burn from the high line began to gallop.

With a surging killing intent, he ran to the empty space at the front of the big forbidden area.

Didn't run far.

Firmino suddenly realized that something was wrong.

The coveted end of the vacancy. Gone!

Blocked by Li Kang!

The flames are extinguished.

What's going on?

Alexander-Arnold's ability to read the defence is not bad at all.

He found that after Li Kang moved, Chamberlain had a very comfortable environment to receive the ball.

Smack.

Passed the ball over.

Firmino couldn't appear in the open space, resulting in a finishing attack.

But Chamberlain's perimeter position can barely cause a weak-side shift before the end.

Settle for less.

Not too bad.

Unfortunately, before Chamberlain could stop the ball, the short black shadow swept by.

Canter!

15-18 times, the god of steal efficiency in Europe!

"Beautiful!"

'Chelsea's counter-attack!'

Live room.

The barrage was full of scolding.

-

[What did Firmino play? Does he deserve the title of the Red Arrow Three? 】

-

[Liverpool is playing football again! ] 】

-

[The chain of attack is too short! It's so short every time! 】

-

[I see that the main idea of Chelsea's defense is to cut off the connection between the Red Arrow three and the two full-backs, and in the initial stage of the positional battle, Tuchel's 4-4-2 formation will release Li Kang to protect the vacancy. 】

-

[Tuchel is awesome!] World-class handsome! 】

-

[The timing of Firmino's forward insertion is perfect, and the timing of Li Kang's pit filling is even more perfect. 】

Chelsea's eventual counter-attack was unsuccessful.

Van Dijk, who was at his peak, is no longer the small defender who was ravaged by Hazard back then.

Retreat at the same frequency, seal the inner line, and drive away the outer line.

The ball was cleared out of bounds.

Chelsea possession.

Sidelines.

Dino looked confused: "Boss, Liverpool is attacking this time." ”

Tuchel wanted to explain, but didn't know how to put it into words: 'Lee and Kante, fantastic. ”

The other side.

Klopp tugged at his hair blankly.

You can't kick like that.

If you play like this, you will lose.

He stood on the sidelines and roared loudly, his voice once again muffled by the impassioned "Never Walk Alone" from the stands, but the gesture still conveyed his intentions to his disciples.

The minutes of the game passed.

Chelsea were firmly in possession.

The connection between Cesc Fabregas and Li Kang helped the team to build an ever-changing K-Fraternier triangle in the offensive phase.

The two La Masia No. 4s have different ideas.

One person always looks for the most reasonable receiving position and sends the most reasonable passing line.

One person moves forward and retreats with the formation, always in the core position, the real formation eye.

Liverpool are crazy.

In Anfield's impassioned and loud "Never Walk Alone", they returned to the form of crazy robbery.

Which form of Majin Buu is the most troublesome?

Weak little Buu!

Because the purest!

"The Football Paradox."

"Crazy counterattack and high defense, the two should not coexist."

"Counter-attacking needs space, and the low line is the carrier of it."

"The high-level defense line is the carrier of the autonomous attack, which naturally stifles the space for counterattacks."

"But under the paradox of this off-the-ball system, a first-class midfielder can compete with superstars even when he is running as hard as he can!"

"The body of a mortal, comparable to a god!"

"That's the greatness of the Liverpool system!"

At Anfield Stadium, cheers rang out one after another.

The fierce scene made the audience almost out of breath.

Beep! Beep~

The referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half!

The score did not change.

The panting Liverpool players are still unsatisfied.

Cesc Fabregas was sore and lifted his shirt and pants at the referee to point out the bruises on his body.

Diego Costa has a crush on Liverpool's centre-back, and he was still chatting with Van Dijk when he left the field.

Li Kang patted the grass clippings in his hair.

The red line from God's perspective is frantically tightened.

After the confrontations with Atletico Madrid and Liverpool, he suddenly realized that tactical restraint may not always be the subject of the game.

Atletico's Cholo-Taka will bring the game to a five-five parity.

Liverpool's primitive crazy form is fighting to the death.

The tactical revolution of the five major leagues has converged and flowed endlessly.

In the world of football, there are teams that "don't die at the tactical level".

Fortunately, there are not many such teams.

Chelsea dressing room.

Tuchel did not review the details of the first 30 minutes of the first half.

He spent most of his time in the last 15 minutes.

"The pressing of the Liverpool players in the high defensive line has come to the fullest at this point in time."

"If Lee continues to step forward and participate in the attacking chain, then the team loses the eye of the formation, and once we lose possession of the ball, our formation will be scattered by the opponent!"

"Wait!"

"Patience!"

"We're in the lead, Liverpool players are not robots! When they are physically exhausted, they are bound to make mistakes! ”

He didn't finish his sentence.

Other Chelsea players, under high pressure, make mistakes as well.

Dino was full of confidence, he took out his small yellow notebook and reopened the second page.

That was when he first arrived at Chelsea, and Tuchel had his players do 'small ball' training after a trial run for most of the season. The team's passing stability has improved by leaps and bounds that are visible to the naked eye.

After all, this group of players is one of the best in Europe in its own right.

Li Kang put the small tactical board on the stool, and gestured towards Kanter while flicking the small magnetic flag.

The little black egg scratched the back of his head shyly: "Li, I don't know if I can grasp the right time like you, I will work hard." ”

At this time, Kante was too young to know that God had gifted him with an alternative attacking talent.

Liverpool dressing room.

The door was closed.

Advanced soundproofing equipment could not completely stop Klopp's passionate speech.

Next Monday, the speech will be sent to various well-known groups for internal reference.

The fifteen-minute break is coming to an end.

The locker room door was opened.

One by one, the Liverpool players appeared in the field of vision of the cleaning aunt.

"Good evening, friends from the audience, and welcome back."

"Now you're watching live the epic matchups of the 2017-18 Premier League!"

"Liverpool vs Chelsea in the second half!"

"The two sides have not made any substitutions for the time being."

The narrator inadvertently described the 'Red and Blue War' as an 'epic showdown'.

Beep!

Accompanied by the referee's whistle.

The second half of the game begins.

Liverpool possession.

Firmino returns to the back.

Li Kang and Eden Hazard switched positions again, and Chelsea double-layered the net to quickly strangle the Liverpool backfield.

After the football is passed between the red jerseys a few times.

Lost.

Cesc Fabregas controls the ownerless football.

Liverpool, who are in high spirits, do not care about such details.

Role reversal.

Continue the high pressure.

Cesc Fabregas struggled to get the ball to the back with Emre Can's interference.

"It's messed up!"

"Crazy Liverpool are bound to disrupt Chelsea's formation."

"The more chaotic, the better."

"In the form of disposition, Liverpool will gain more and more."

The most comfortable output environment for the Red Arrow Three is to lose their position and fight.

However, in this history, many fans ridiculed Liverpool's strategic tendency as: "Blind chicken kick"!

The fighting continues.

Firmino's movement became more and more piecemeal, sometimes dragging into midfield and sometimes at the back.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain became a full-back and Trent Alexander-Arnold stepped into a central midfield position.

Eden Hazard was forced into a central midfield, and N'Golo Kante filled in the pit to the attack.

Cesc Fabregas returned to Barça and the false number nine position at Euro 12.

It's messed up.

It's a complete mess.

The coaching staff on the sidelines didn't have time to think about how to break the game.

On the green field, there are only three people's positions, and they are not washed away by the melee: Buffon, Karius, and Li Kang.

The fierce competition made the audience feel that time passed very quickly.

In the live broadcast room, a ghost cried wolf.

-

[What about the big ball? It's obviously an attack, why don't you score a goal? 】

-

[Every time I watch someone rush out of the space, I feel like I have a chance to break the door. As a result, they were either robbed or intercepted! 】

-

[Li Mingdeng's control of the field was too stable, and it didn't make the team completely chaotic, otherwise this game would definitely be able to hit seven goals. 】

-

[He had to control the field, there was no other midfielder who could assist in the attack, and Cesc Fabregas was stared at very hard.] 】

-

[It's over, it's going to be 80 minutes soon.] 】

-

[Ask for the 22 masters on the field, score a few more goals!] 】

-

[Chelsea and Liverpool are now standing and cutting each other to see who can't hold on, who falls first, and who collapses. 】

82nd minute of the game.

As the fitness of both sides declined, the formation gradually returned to normal.

The striker returns to the front.

Defenders return to defence.

Li Kang was in the 40-meter area and received a pass from his teammate.

Salah and Chamberlain rushed at the same time.

The Chelsea core pulled the ball and spun away, getting rid of the defence and cutting off the link from the nearby response points.

God's perspective.

Cesar Azpilicueta struggled forward.

There are bound to be risks in the forward attack of large-scale transfers.

With a normal formation, the risk of losing possession is smaller, and the chance of playing a complete offensive chain is greater.

Syllable!

The soccer ball rises off the ground.

Go to the right.

"External rotation long pass!"

"Beautiful!"

Alexander-Arnold shrank back to help defend the ribs, and Firmino, who was in midfield, quickly retreated to fill the hole.

Pity.

The two of them fought to exhaustion, and their movement speed was slowed down by a beat.

Offensive players can be slow, and at the cost of delaying the pace of the attack.

Defenders can't be slow, the cost is too heavy.

"Wonderful long ball on the ground!"

"Punched Liverpool in the ribs!"

"Diego Costa didn't have a chance to hit the goal!"

"Quick response!"

"Let's do it!"

"Kante!"

"Little giant!"

"There it is!"

Bang!

N'Golo Kante sneaked out and shot at the ball.

The ball sticks to the turf and blasts into the Liverpool goal.

Karius's view was obscured by the dense crowd.

That's right.

Kante, who is 1.6 meters, was blocked by a group of 1.8 or 1.9 meters!

The net on the left side of the goal was lifted again.

0:2！！！

Kante was stunned and ran back excitedly!

hugged Li Kang vigorously.

Diego Costa, who gave the assist, cursed, but had a heartfelt smile on his face.

"Beautiful!"

"The ball is in!"

'N'Golo Kante catches the shot from the open spot, it's very similar to Firmino!'

'Tuchel continues the makeover he did with previous boss Antonio Conte.

"Li Kang was dragged by the crazy Liverpool, and Klopp never dreamed of the man who completed the finish. It turned out to be Kante! ”

"What does N'Golo Kante mean when he was celebrating in the stands and kept pointing at Li Kang? We'll find out through the post-race interview! ”

With just eight minutes of regulation time remaining, Henderson was on the sidelines shouting out cheers for his team-mates.

"We believe that even if we are in a desperate situation at this moment, Liverpool will not give up!"

"You'll never walk alone."
