Afternoon of November 8, 2014, Liverpool City.

The eyes of fans all over the UK and around the world are focused on Anfield.

The reason for this, of course, is not just because this is the highlight of this round of Premier League matches, with Liverpool hosting Chelsea.

The main reason is that Chelsea's form this season has been so amazing, winning all the way.

After breaking the Premier League's best start with a run of 10 wins in the previous round, many are already hoping to beat the record of 14 consecutive wins set by the unbeaten Arsenal side.

Of course, there are some relatively reasonable fans who believe that Pan Yi has indeed created amazing miracles under Chelsea this season, but there is no team in the world that can really win all the way to the end.

In other words, Pan Yi will lose sooner or later.

But the question is, when exactly will he lose?

No one knows the answer.

At least judging from the current development situation, it is still difficult to find the logic that they will lose normally.

What, the Carabao Cup penalty kick knocked out by York City, didn't Chelsea already lose?

First, it wasn't normal;

Second, that game was also a draw in regulation time;

Thirdly, it was an inconsequential Carabao Cup, a game that even many Chelsea fans felt had to give up strategically.

Moreover, now we are talking about the Premier League's winning streak!

Can Pan Yi break it?

If it is broken, where is his end?

Can we raise this record to a level that future generations will not be able to achieve?

And if this record is broken, what is the Premier League's highest scoring record, highest win record, etc., can it also be broken?

These questions naturally make fans all over the world curious.

They want to know more, if Pan Yi is going to lose in the end, when, in what way, and to whom?

This makes all the fans pay close attention to Pan Yi's every game.

After all, no one knows which game is the one when Pan Yi starts to lose, and everyone wants to witness this moment with their own eyes.

Therefore, even if Chelsea play a game with a clear distinction between strength and weakness, the ratings can compete with the Manchester derby, let alone today's strong dialogue with Liverpool.

How to say it's also a head-to-head clash between last season's runners-up and runners-up!

And as the other side of this key battle, Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers certainly hopes that he can be the one who can really stop Pan Yi's progress.

In order to prepare for this game, he did not even send all his key players in the Champions League group stage against Real Madrid two days ago, resulting in an away defeat to Real Madrid as well.

In Rodgers' view, the Champions League group he is in can let Real Madrid win all the time, and then fight with the two relatively weak teams of Basel and Ludogoretz.

And, in Brendan Rodgers' current situation, the Premier League may be a little more important than the Champions League.

After all, the Premier League is the bottom line, and if you fall out of the top four, your position is likely to be lost;

And as Liverpool, which is participating for the first time in recent years, lost to a team like Real Madrid in the Champions League, Liverpool fans will not blame too much - it's a big deal to keep this account and count it later!

Therefore, losing the two back-to-back games with Real Madrid is also a reasonable result after preserving strength.

What Rodgers wants to do now is beat Chelsea in the Premier League!

It's an important battle to get three points and an important battle to regain confidence!

As long as he can win Chelsea, Liverpool fans' doubts about Rodgers will disappear, and his transformation of Liverpool's tactics can be carried out step by step, and he may even seek opportunities to add reinforcements in the winter window.

But if you lose......

Liverpool will fall out of the European league in the standings, which is bound to cause a new round of dissatisfaction among fans, and Rodgers may be out of class halfway.

Of course, Brendan Rodgers arrived at Anfield with a lot of confidence.

He has carefully prepared for a week, just to let Pan Yi taste the sharpest defensive counterattack in the Premier League! ——

Anfield was as full as ever.

Tickets for Liverpool have always been hard to come by, both at home and away.

In addition, this is another focus battle against the Premier League leaders, and it is even more difficult to find a ticket, and those who can come in are basically season ticket owners and die-hard fans.

Although the players have just finished the hot game and the game has not officially started, the enthusiasm of the fans is obviously more enthusiastic than before, and all kinds of cheers, songs, and boos are resounding in the sky.

Of course, in Anfield, the most famous song is often heard from time to time:

“Walk on， walk on， with hope in your heart

And you'll never walk alone

You'll never walk alone”

Of course, the players and coaches on both sides of the world now don't have time to enjoy the performances of the fans.

At this time, in the dressing room of the away team, Pan Yi was putting Liverpool's starting lineup on the tactical board, ready to emphasize the tactics with his players one last time.

As Pan Yi expected, Rogers today was indeed his best 4231 formation:

Centre: Balotelli.

Frontfield: Emre Can, Coutinho, Raheem Sterling.

Defenders: Jordan Henderson, Steven Gerrard.

Defenders: Moreno, Lovren, Skrtel, Johnson.

Goalkeeper: Mignolet.

Pan Yi coughed lightly and pointed to the tactical list again.

At this point, the Chelsea players in the dressing room immediately stopped frolicking and sat upright.

They all knew that Pan Yi was about to start his final speech.

"Liverpool's lineup, although it is clearly intended to play our counter-attack, cannot ignore the individual attacking ability of their players."

"Like Raheem Sterling, he has a strong ability to break through, while Balotelli and Moutinho have a strong shooting ability."

"It's still Moutinho, including Gerrard in the midfield position, and even Jordan Henderson, who also has a long-range shot, which we need to focus on."

"And today they are playing at home, even if the main strategy is to defend and counterattack, but at the beginning there may be a wave of rushing to disrupt our rhythm."

"So we have to start a little bit more steadily. The priority is to control the tempo and the ball, to hold the defence and when their momentum wears off, it's time for us to take over the game. ”

"Taking a step back, I wouldn't be too surprised if they had scored our goal, and I'm sure you wouldn't be too flustered."

"I've already told you in the previous games that as long as we can hold our ground at any time and not panic, we can always equalize and overtake, right?"

The players replied in unison: "Yes, we get it, Boss!" ”

Everyone is full of confidence, and that's the spirit of winning streak.

If you could have had the system in a football game, you might now see all the Chelsea players with the arrows pointing straight up for their form and morale.

Pan Yi began to make targeted arrangements for some key positions:

'They still have a good pace up front, especially Raheem Sterling. You have to be careful to keep the level and depth of the defence at all times, especially Ake, always be aware of your position, break his crosses, and let him shoot from a distance away from the goal. ”

The three Chelsea centre-backs who started today were Ake, David Luiz and Gary Cahill.

Ake was used at left centre-back to use his pace and agility against Raheem Sterling.

Raheem Sterling was more of a right winger in this period, using his pace and hips (?) ) to break through and then create chances for team-mates in the box, more like a traditional winger's style of play.

Raheem Sterling's speed, movement, and breakthrough ability are all strong, and he can be said to be the biggest explosion in the front of this Liverpool team.

But as a player who carried forward "Happy Football", he really didn't taste it at the end, so Pan Yi also told Ake more detailed defensive strategies.

Who is Sterling? That's a man who will occupy the most important place in the future Premier League five.

Which are the five musts?

East Slope - Nunez, West Shake - Grealish, South Turn - Antony, North Pestle - Lukaku, Middle Happy - Sterling.

Lukaku is now detached from the Five Absolute Masters and no longer the king of the pestle with the guidance of Pan Yi;

Even if he is still the king of the pestle pile, he is also an evolved pestle king.

But Raheem Sterling isn't so good at the moment, so he'll continue to be happy.

Hearing Pan Yi's command, Ake, David Luiz, and Gary Cahill agreed in unison, and Ake shouted the loudest.

You know, he squeezed captain Terry to the bench, which shows how much Pan Yi values him.

Of course, Pan Yi will also explain clearly to the players about this kind of lineup change due to tactical reasons, so the substitutes, including Terry, will not have any complaints.

After all, everyone knows that in Pan Yi's eyes, no player must play.

In Pan Yi's view, only the players who are in the best form, and the players who are most suitable to play when facing a certain opponent.

And to defend a little fast like Sterling, of course, Ake is more suitable, otherwise Sterling will break out, and Terry can only come to an aircraft carrier to turn around, but it will be delayed.

'After defending their opening attack, our two wingers and wing-backs also have to move forward aggressively and keep the two wing-backs of the opposition and their wingers at all times, so that we can relieve the pressure on our defence, you know?'

"No problem, sir."

Wingers Eden Hazard and Bench B, as well as wing-backs Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta, who started today, all agreed.

'They weren't particularly good defensively, especially from set-pieces. Pan Yi explained to the starting center forward Lukaku, "Don't carry it when the frontcourt opportunities are not particularly good, just fall when you should fall, just like your predecessor Drogba is so smart, understand?" ”

"Understood!" Han Han said.

"You can create corners when it's time to create them, you know?"

"Understood!"

"Good."

Finally, there are two back backs.

Kante and Nemanja Matic are actually the most worry-free combination for Pan Yi.

They are both offensive and defensive, which can basically cover Pan Yi's various tactical ideas, and it can also be said to be a panacea combination.

Probably that Kante is not needed when all the players need to be lifted high......

However, Pan Yi still ordered two sentences, don't engage in specialization!

"You have to help the team stay in a tight formation and you have to keep a good distance from each other. Their main attacking style is counter-attacking, and if the formation is too loose, it is easy to create opportunities for them to counter-attack. ”

The midfielder's black and white duo also nodded.

For this most basic tactical requirement, they naturally already know it.

"Finally, let's set foot on the pitch at Anfield and conquer the fans!"

Pan Yi raised his arms and shouted, and the players also jumped up from their seats like springs! ——

"Viewers, welcome to the 11th round of the 2014-2015 Premier League, where Liverpool host Anfield against visiting Chelsea."

"Zhan Jun and Director Zhang Lu will bring you today's live commentary."

The game captured the attention of the whole world, including the Dragon Kingdom, of course.

In this prime-time game, there are countless Dragon Country fans who have watched this Premier League focus battle through various channels.

"Hey, hey." Zhang Lu's voice sounded, "In today's game, I don't know which side you are more optimistic about?" Or rather, which side would you prefer to win? ”

Zhang Lu's question seems normal, but it is actually a bit difficult to answer.

As we all know, Zhan Jun is a big fan of Liverpool.

Although he never made any overt biased remarks in his commentary, he certainly wanted Liverpool to win.

It's just that today is a little bit different.

Because of Pan Yi's existence, Chelsea has become the number one home team in the minds of the majority of Dragon Country fans, and if you don't answer well, you will offend people, and you will offend a large number of people.

But Zhan Jun still laughed and said: "Actually, it doesn't matter who I hope wins, because on the football field, you have to rely on strength to speak." ”

'Just like Chelsea played Manchester United before, Manchester United fans all over the world would have wanted Manchester United to win, but in the end they were slaughtered by Chelsea.

"So, all the pre-match predictions are meaningless, and in the end it all depends on the performance of both sides on the field."

After all, I am a professional commentator, and I still can't show my own tendencies in the commentary process.

But Zhang Lu doesn't need to be like this as a guest.

He said bluntly: "In terms of the quality and form of these two teams, I really don't think Liverpool can win against Chelsea, even if they play at home. ”

'It's clear that so far this season, the signs of Chelsea winning the title have been very clear. Not just Liverpool, I don't think any team can stop Pan Yi and his team. ”

Zhan Jun: "It seems that Director Zhang is still full of confidence in Pan Yi as always." ”

'It's just that now it seems that this Liverpool team is the last team to have a chance of beating Chelsea.'

'In BIG6, Chelsea have beaten Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United, and this is the fourth, which is Liverpool.

"The last BIG6 Tottenham, this season's form has been even more up and down, and I don't feel like I have a chance to challenge Chelsea."

"So I think if Liverpool can't get points against Chelsea at Anfield today, then Pan Yi is really unstoppable."

Zhang Lu also nodded: "It depends on whether Rodgers has any way to restrain the performance of Chelsea's generals tonight." ”

"Judging from the starting formations and lists of the two sides, there are no strange tricks on either side, such as the ...... of the big circle against 514"

"It's a regular 4231 vs. 343 on both sides. In other words, it depends on the control and targeting of the details by the coaches of both sides, as well as the command on the spot. ”

"It's almost time for the game. Let's see how they do on the field! ”

——

With the referee's whistle blowing, and the cheers of the Liverpool fans all over the field, the game finally began.

Liverpool were the first to serve.

However, Chelsea did not press up for the ball as they have done in the past, but steadily retreated, which allowed Liverpool to quickly stabilize the ball and quickly advance through the half.

Less than a minute into the game, Raheem Sterling broke through with the ball on the right, but Ake was held tight and jammed on Sterling's path to the baseline.

In desperation, Sterling could only cut in, and after a step, he shot with a kick!

The ball flew into the stands in an outrageous way.

It happened to be the Chelsea fans in the away stands, and there was a burst of laughter and applause for Raheem Sterling.

However, it was a bit of a galvanity for the Liverpool players, who soon came back after two minutes.

This time it was Emre Can on the left, and his breakthrough ability was not as sharp as Sterling's, and after getting the ball, he saw that Gary Cahill was already in position, so he passed the ball down the middle.

Captain Gerrard was there to pick him up.

Kante also immediately went over when he saw this, ready to disrupt Gerrard's action to catch the ball, and at worst it could affect Gerrard's next step.

It's just a little unexpected that after receiving the ball, Gerrard just gently flicked the ball out, and actually shot with his legs!

At this time, the ball is still about 35 to 40 meters away from the goal.

That's too far!

However, Gerrard was on full swing and the ball was like a cannonball towards the Chelsea goal.

Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois didn't dare to slack off, turning his palms into fists to hit the ball straight to the ground.

The ball flew high into the box and David Luiz headed it out of the danger zone.

But the next drop was again for the Liverpool players.

This time it's Coutinho!

I saw that he was about 28 or 9 meters away from the goal, directly bent his bow and arrow, and kicked a curved ball with good power and angle!

This time, Courtois is a bit out of reach.

When he jumped up, his fingertips almost touched the ball, but the ball was so fast that the spinning arc just went around his fingers.

And so, with a strong spin, the ball went straight into the Chelsea goal!

"This goal went in!!!!!! Nice long shot! ”

"Coutinho! A cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops to meet each other! ”

'In the third minute, just three minutes into the game, Liverpool opened the scoring against Chelsea!'

"The whole Anfield stadium has become a sea of joy."

'It was a definite blow for Chelsea and conceded in the opening three minutes, which was obviously quite a disadvantage for them.

When the live TV was playing back in slow motion, the commentator Zhan Jun was talking with excitement in his heart:

'The development of this goal was actually quite simple, but it was a bit of a surprise to be honest.

"Gerardje, at such a distance, actually chose to shoot from a distance. After the ball was punched out by Courtois, David Luiz also pushed the ball out of the box normally. ”

'But Coutinho was there at the moment and ended the attack with a world wave.

'Suffice it to say, the Chelsea players didn't make any mistakes during the whole goal, but the goal went in.

'Maybe that's what the stars do, Gerrard and Coutinho's long-range shooting ability plays a big role.

And Zhang Lu muttered: "Under normal circumstances, midfielders will not shoot from such a distance, the efficiency is too low, and many times it is the right to send the ball." ”

"But maybe that's one of Rogers' tactics today? He may have realised that it would be difficult to penetrate Chelsea's defence with normal possession or counter-attacks, so he asked his players to step up their long-range shots. ”

"And in his lineup, there are just so many players who are good at long-range shots. Although the efficiency of long-range shots is relatively low, random punches can kill the master......"

'With so many of the previous teams unable to get Chelsea in any possible way, Brendan Rodgers has taken a different approach and scored goals by increasing his long-range shots, increasing the number of shots on goal and causing confusion in Chelsea's defence.

Now it seems that his strategy has worked. I just don't know what Coach Pan Yi thinks about this and how to deal with it? ”

——

"It's okay, cheer up and remember what I just told you!"

Pan Yi's shouts came from the sidelines.

He still had a calm face, and he didn't see the impact of the bad start on him at all.

As it is, is it unusual to concede a goal at home to Liverpool?

What's more, it's this kind of unexpected goal.

Sometimes there is just no way, even if the player doesn't make any mistakes, the ball will still go in.

It's a bit like playing basketball, where people throw the hoop in their backcourt and the ball goes in, what can you do?

You can only think that you are unlucky, and then clean up your mood and try to get the ball back.

Of course, the goal just now is not to say that the Chelsea players did it perfectly.

If Courtois can just get the ball away, if David Luiz can get the ball into a safer area, if Coutinho has the first time to interfere with the shot......

In particular, Gerrard and Coutinho had a long-range shot, and Pan Yi had specially told him before the game.

But on the football field, everyone has to react within a few tenths of a second, and it would be too strict to demand perfection from everyone.

Sometimes it's just that the other party shoots beautifully, and you just can't prevent it, you have to admit it.

Pan Yi is not so harsh on the coach of his players, otherwise everyone would not be so convinced.

"Here, remember what I said and keep playing!"

Pan Yi looked confident on the sidelines, clapping his hands and encouraging the players, without the slightest anxiety when he spoke, as if he hadn't been scored at all just now.

The players on the pitch also thought that the leader had just been in the dressing room and had indeed stressed that if Liverpool started the game ahead, it was all expected by him.

Since everything is in the hands of the head coach, it's still a fart!

For Pan Yi, they all have inexplicable confidence.

And since the boss said it didn't matter, it definitely didn't matter.

Keep it up!

As a result, the scene that Liverpool fans wanted to see Chelsea players panicking and making mistakes did not happen.

Chelsea, on the other hand, have been more steady, organising their defence more thoroughly, starting to defend the 10 and even 20 metres at the edge of the penalty area.

As a result, Liverpool have fewer chances to shoot from distance.

But the overall situation on the field is still Liverpool's main attack and Chelsea's main defense.

This is a rare thing.

After all, in almost all of the games this season, it was Chelsea who dominated the game and then finished it by a big or small scoreline.

Why is it different today?

Not to mention that Chelsea have already conceded a goal in such a short period of time, so why are they not in a hurry at all?

Liverpool manager Rodgers, who was on the sidelines, looked at it and felt a little flustered inexplicably......
