At the end of the first half, the scoreboard remained at 1:0.

With Coutinho's world wave in the opening three minutes, the home team Liverpool led the entire first half somewhat unexpectedly.

However, as the players from both sides walked off the pitch, you could see that the Chelsea players did not look like they were falling behind at all.

One by one, they were full of confidence, cheered each other on and returned to the locker room.

And this made the players and coaches on Liverpool's side feel a little confused.

Who's leading the way?

Could this be the temperament of the legendary strong?

Will all the Chelsea players believe that after Pan Yi's half-time adjustments, they will definitely come back to the scoreline?

This is too mysterious!

And the commentator Zhan Jun also said:

"Liverpool did play well today, leading in the first half and also gaining a certain advantage on the field. But it's no secret that Chelsea in the second half, especially after 70 minutes, are not easy to mess with, so Brendan Rodgers must not take it lightly. ”

As a fan of Liverpool for many years, although Zhan Jun tried to remain neutral in the commentary, the lead of the home team still made his words unconsciously reveal a little lighthearted, and he would involuntarily support Rodgers.

"In the face of Pan Yi's Chelsea team, it is actually not easy to gain an advantage on the field! So many of the previous big teams didn't do it. ”

'I think Brendan Rodgers is just thinking about how to make the most of this advantage and get the Chelsea goal back in the net as soon as possible.'

'Because Chelsea have been so strong and resilient this season, it's not safe to be one goal ahead.

"And if we can score one more goal, it will be possible to win this game with the fanatical support of tens of thousands of fans at Anfield."

Zhang Lu said: "I agree with the statement that Liverpool have to hurry up and score again. ”

"But now I doubt they'll be able to do that."

"I don't know if you noticed, although it seemed like Liverpool had the advantage in the first half, there were very few real chances other than that long-range shot from the opening half."

'When Liverpool attack, Chelsea drop back a little bit to solidify the defence; But if Liverpool press deeper, then the Chelsea defence, which was originally retreating to the front of the penalty area, will also press forward, and strengthen the pressing in the midfield, so as not to allow Liverpool to easily attack the 30-metre area. ”

"This leaves Liverpool with a lot of the time having to go back and reorganise. At this time, Chelsea's defence will retreat and the pressing in the midfield will be relaxed. ”

Then Liverpool will go forward, Chelsea will press again, and then Liverpool's attack will go out. In the first half, the two sides mainly fought in the 30-meter area near the center circle, and there were few chances to shoot on goal. ”

'Because Liverpool are dominating the attack, it looks like they have the advantage, but it's actually a balance of power at best.

"Coach Pan Yi's purpose in doing this should be to consume Liverpool's sharpness with a solid defense first, after all, Liverpool has the blessing of the home team, and it also scored first. Of course, this can also drain Liverpool's energy and energy until the second half. ”

"Chelsea's young lads tend to burst out with amazing energy in the second half. So, this game ...... Hehe, the outcome is unpredictable! ”

-----------------

In fact, after the players of both teams returned to the dressing room, the home team's head coach Brendan Rodgers also looked very solemn.

He had also gotten some first-half stats from his assistant.

Possession was 60 to 40 and Liverpool were ahead.

However, the number of shots on goal was 5-5, and the two sides were even, and the shots in the woodwork were 1-3 to give Chelsea a lead.

That is to say, in the first half, Liverpool did not create as many chances as Chelsea except for those two long-range shots in succession.

This also made Rogers feel a crisis.

After all, he is a coach with many years of coaching experience, and he will not feel that the big picture is decided just by leading by his score.

The content and data of the competition speak for themselves.

Leading in possession? That's fake.

That was simply because Chelsea voluntarily gave up possession, while Liverpool were unable to effectively break into the Chelsea penalty area, and spent more time at the back.

Shots on goal and shots on target, including a more reasonable expected number of goals, will be a reflection of the ability of both sides to create chances.

Liverpool's five shots on goal in the first half were all long-range shots from outside the box;

Most of Chelsea's five kicks were played into the penalty area through cooperation, with crosses from the side and straight into the ribs, with a variety of routines.

If it weren't for Liverpool's defensive performance today and goalkeeper Minho's concentration, maybe Chelsea would have equalised.

Now it seems that Pan Yi may really be playing a game of cat and mouse.

He was not in a hurry to press up and equalize, but held on first, allowing Liverpool, who were originally good at counter-attacking, to play first, to drain their energy and patience.

When the second half is almost over, Pan Yi will make another effort - this is also an old Chelsea routine.

Therefore, during the dressing room session, Rodgers used a very serious tone to admonish his players.

'We have to forget everything about the first half and not be fooled by the illusion of a goal ahead.

"Pan Yi's team has always been good at making late strikes, you must not take it lightly! Otherwise, it would be impossible to stop their winning streak! ”

"I don't know how many teams have already suffered such losses, so we have to be careful."

'In the second half, we had to be a little more conservative and go back to the counter-attacking that we normally practiced.

'They're going to attack big and we're going to have to pay attention to the two wings because their wingers and wing-backs are very good.

"Also, Lovren in the middle, Skrtel, you must guard Lukaku and prevent him from picking up the ...... on the wing"

After giving instructions to each point, Rogers was also a little relieved, and sat down in his chair with a sigh of relief.

His heart calmed down a little.

Then he shook his head again, gritted his teeth secretly, and said:

"TMD, how could I panic like this? The pressure on Pan Yi is really too great...... MD: I'm on the lead right now! ”

-----------------

In the visitors' dressing room, the atmosphere was not as tense as Liverpool's.

Pan Yi just continued to encourage his players and arranged the second half in an orderly manner:

"Well done in the first half! Although we conceded a goal, we played well in the rest of the games. We defended well, we had a good tempo, so I'm very happy and we have to continue in the second half. ”

"But in the second half they probably won't press the formation too much as they did before, because they want to keep the score when they're ahead, so shrinking back and playing back is the most likely outcome."

"And this is the time to test our attack, which is to use the training content that we have prepared in the last few days."

"I won't go into details, you should all have it in mind."

"In short, the three most important things are: press Coutinho, press them down the flanks, create set-pieces!"

"I told you before the start of the first half, and I did it in the second half, and I can't forget it because I adjusted my tactics a little bit in the first half. You're not that stupid, are you? ”

Everyone laughed.

It's so easy to fall behind by one goal, and that's probably what you can see in the Chelsea dressing room now.

Finally, Pan Yi said:

"Believe me, brothers, as long as you can remember your duty, as long as each of you does your best to complete your mission, then I promise that victory will be ours!"

Everyone clapped their hands vigorously to echo their head coach!

-----------------

'In the Chelsea dressing room at the moment, it must be very stressful.

Two Sky Sports guests, Gary Neville and Carragher, are of course watching the game.

Gary Neville is there to stir up words:

"The current Pan Yi must be empty-hearted."

"It's not so easy to come back from a goal down at Anfield!"

"And in the first half, the team did not play as well as Liverpool, which may also make Pan Yi have self-doubt, so there will be some wrong judgments and adjustments."

'To be honest, I doubt Chelsea will concede another goal in the second half.'

In other words, Chelsea's first defeat of the Premier League season is finally coming! Hahahaha! ”

Gary Neville said it with such confidence and excitement that Carragher, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but doubt his own ingredients.

He hurried over to remind Gary Neville: "Brother, it seems...... Looks like I'm from Liverpool? Aren't you a Manchester United legend? Why do you want us to win so much? ”

You must know that Liverpool and Manchester United, the pair of "double red clubs", are the biggest rivals and competitors in the history of the Premier League in recent decades.

If a fan claims to be a double Liverpool and Manchester United fan or something, he must not be a real fan.

And Gary Neville, who is a famous man of Manchester United, usually uses Liverpool's loss to satirize and despise Carragher.

But today...... Neville hugged his thighs to the legs of his sworn enemy, which was really undisciplined!

At this time, I saw Gary Neville wave his hand and said nonchalantly:

"Now I just want to see Pan Yi really lose a game in the Premier League, as for who he loses to, who cares?"

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

"At this time, Manchester United and Liverpool are good friends!"

-----------------

As Pan Yi arranged, Chelsea stepped up their attack in the second half.

However, with Brendan Rodgers also allowing his disciples to shrink their defence, Chelsea's attack did not pose a big threat right away.

When Liverpool got the ball and counterattacked, because Pan Yi had specially arranged players to cut off the connection between Coutinho and other Liverpool players, and forced him to only advance with the ball, and at the same time blocked the space for him to shoot from a distance, which made Liverpool's counterattack even more stumbling and unfavorable.

It was more of Chelsea attacking and Liverpool's two flanks in attack.

As Pan Yi said at the pre-match preparation meeting, Moreno and Johnson, the two fullbacks, are indeed far from world-class defenders in terms of comprehensive ability.

The performance on the court is that the attack is not so sharp, and the defense is not so good.

Not to mention Marcos Alonso and Azpilicuetabi, who can fly up and down with Chelsea, but in terms of the starting 11 in the Liverpool team, the two of them are also the least famous.

In the football world, a small reputation, in addition to being young and undiscovered, or has been playing in a small team, often means that a player's ability is not top-notch.

The fact that you're playing for a big team and still not making a name for yourself speaks for itself.

As a result, Chelsea's two wings kept attacking Liverpool's two wing-backs, leaving them tired.

Especially on Hazard's side, Johnson struggled to deal with it, and was broken and cut inside by the Belgian several times.

Fortunately, Liverpool's two central defenders played relatively well, but in order to help Johnson defend, Skrtel also received a yellow card.

As for the other side, Moreno also received a yellow card under the impact of seat B.

It can be said that although Brendan Rodgers' contraction policy prevented Chelsea's attack at the beginning, the Blues' attack still put more and more pressure on Liverpool.

In the 65th minute, Chelsea launched another wave of attacks along the right flank.

Seat B dribbled away from Moreno and was blocked by Liverpool's Croatian centre-back Lovren, but Lukaku also came to pull the side diagonally at this time!

This is the power of "professional winger" Lukaku, he can pull the side! He even plugged in like a full-back along the right side.

So Bench B passed the ball directly to Lukaku.

Lukaku had just picked up the ball when Moreno got back into place, elbowing the muscular body in front of him and struggling to push him out.

At the same time, Moreno kept stopping his legs to hook the ball, and from time to time he kicked Lukaku on the calf.

But who is Lukaku?

Of course, there will be no loss of balance because of these "minor" collisions.

He was turning his back to Moreno, trying to force him to turn around, but at this time, Pan Yi's voice came from his ears:

"Hanhan! Pour! Pour it for me! Look for set-pieces! Find me a set-piece! ”

Lukaku only then remembered Pan Yi's instructions before the game, and directly weakened his legs, rolled forward for three and a half weeks before falling to the ground.

Because before he fell, Moreno also stretched out his leg to sweep Lukaku, and the referee's whistle sounded immediately.

Kick!

However, the ball is already very close to the baseline, which is almost equivalent to a corner.

So Chelsea treated it as a corner.

Eden Hazard ran to the right side of the pitch near the corner and it was up to him to take the spot.

All of Chelsea's tall players also ran into the Liverpool penalty area, which immediately made the already crowded Liverpool box full of tall people.

Gerrard, Skrtel and Lovren on the home team's side are not short, but the two wing-backs, including Coutinho and Sterling, are not very good, so Balotelli, who is close to 189cm tall, is also coming back to help defend at this time.

In contrast, Chelsea are taller, and the three-centre-back system naturally has an advantage in this regard!

They went to Liverpool's penalty area with Romelu Lukaku, Marcos Alonso, Nemanja Matic and others, which was still very intimidating.

In set-piece defence, the front point and the center of the small penalty area are the two most important points, but between these two points, there are also other players who need to protect the defenders of the two points.

In Liverpool's area defence against corners, including free-kicks like those that can't be shot directly, it's for Balotelli to be up front, with Lovren standing in the centre of the six-yard box and Skrtel in charge of the back, while Steven Gerrard and Jordan Henderson provide protection a little more periphery from Chelsea's back row and two-point attacks.

It was clear that the Chelsea players seemed to be familiar with Liverpool's set-up, and they were in their positions as soon as they entered the opposition box.

In their usual training, who attacks the front point, who attacks the middle lane, and who grabs the back point, has already had a very clear cooperation.

The only question now is where Eden Hazard will send the ball and what kind of attack it will develop.

That's what you need to do in set-piece training, you will be familiar with several routines, and then choose the most suitable one according to the opponent's weaknesses when you are on the field.

At this time, Hazard was already standing behind the ball, slowly extending his right hand and raising his index finger high.

This is to tell your teammates to choose the first routine to attack!

That is, to hit the front point!

In fact, it is this point of Balotelli's defense.

When the crisp whistle came, Hazard quickly ran forward and hit the ball in front of him.

The ball flew up with force and after drawing an arc, it fell in the direction of the goal.

Sure enough, it's the previous point!

Almost everyone reacted immediately.

Gerrard, who was not far behind Balotelli, reacted quickly and rushed over as soon as possible, ready to disrupt the attack.

Because he knows that Balotelli is relatively inattentive when defending, and if someone goes around to Balotelli to head the ball, Balotelli will not react much.

But no matter how fast Gerrard is, the Chelsea players who know where to land early are faster.

Gary Cahill, who was ambushed in the middle of the penalty area, had already jumped out first, jumped high after getting stuck in his position, and rubbed directly against the landing point.

The ball was met by Cahill and quickly fell to the back of the six-yard box.

Sure enough, in the face of this sudden change, Balotelli only subconsciously looked back and did not make any further defensive moves.

Skrtel, who was defending at the back post, resisted David Luiz, who was standing in front of him, and prevented him from easily getting this header.

After all, they are already very close to goal, and the slightest change of direction could cause the ball to go into the net!

But David Luiz doesn't seem to have any intention of going straight to goal.

He stood up, squeezed Skrtel behind him with his back to the goal, and faced the flying ball, just with a flick of his head, he knocked it down and landed on the grass in front of him.

At this time, a blue figure rushed up from behind, and then with a strong left foot, the ball was directly blasted into Liverpool's goal!

The distance of this shot is only about seven or eight meters away from the goal, and Liverpool goalkeeper Minho is out of reach of this goal even if he is in a good position.

"The ball went in, it was Marcos Alonso!

！

！

！ ”

'In the 68th minute, Chelsea scored from a free-kick and Marcos Alonso volleyed in!'

“1：1！ Chelsea equalised! It seems that it is really not that easy to beat Chelsea! ”

'It was a fantastic set-piece attack. Chelsea made two high passes in the box before the ball found the ball at the feet of Marcos Alonso, who was cut in at the back and left unguarded. ”

"As one of the famous representatives of reversing, Brother Long also lived up to his expectations and kicked the ball in!"

Zhan Jun's commentary voice seemed to be hoarse due to excitement, but those who knew knew that his heart was definitely not good at the moment......

Zhang Lu also said: "This Liverpool's set-piece defense has always been a bit of a problem. ”

"Brendan Rodgers doesn't know why it's just a tendon, they've been criticised for their zone defence this season, but he's always been there. Look at today, I conceded another goal, didn't I. ”

'It's clear that Chelsea's intelligence work is in place and it's been rehearsed. Hazard's goal was to find the area where Balotelli was defending, and then after two header relays, then to Alonso's weakly defended area. ”

"It can be said that Pan Yi won again in this round. If you look at the process of creating this free-kick, it is obvious that it was also intentional, Lukaku obviously didn't have to fall, but he still fell. ”

"In modern football, where defensive tactics are becoming more and more tight, and players are becoming more and more able to run, it is becoming more and more difficult to score goals in sports battles, so the attack and defense of set-pieces will become more and more important."

"It's not just the weak team that should be paid attention to, but the strong team will also develop and utilize it at a deeper level."

"At present, Pan Yi's tactics are still at the forefront of the world, and Rogers is a bad move......

on the pitch.

Marcos Alonso excitedly rushed to the Chelsea fans' stand to celebrate with the goal after the goal.

And head coach Pan Yi also kept shaking his fists and waving at this side, which was celebrating at the same time, but also signaling that the fans' shouts could be more intense!

Because this goal is not only an equaliser, but also means that Chelsea have sounded the clarion call for a counterattack!

Even if it is away from home, whether it is the momentum of the players and fans, they must overwhelm the opponent!

-----------------

After that goal, it was a lot quieter in the Sky Sports studio.

Gary Neville and Carragher looked at each other, relatively silent.

Although Chelsea had only scored one goal, and although the score was still a draw, they all had a strong premonition that Liverpool was finished!

While it's hilarious that Neville and Carragher are worried about Liverpool's victory or defeat together, they are both professional football professionals.

They can see that Chelsea's attack is getting stronger and stronger, while Liverpool are a little tired.

And Chelsea's goal has not even entered the 70 minutes that represents "Pan Yi's time"!

After Chelsea's equaliser, there was a huge change in the mentality of the Liverpool players, and this change was often negative.

It's like a remnant army desperately resisting the enemy's attack, which could have really withstood and even had a chance to win the counterattack;

But at this time, a corner of the position was breached, the morale of the army was affected, the last line of defense of the mind was breached, and the position was gone.

And the next plot is gradually reflecting Neville and Carragher's hunch.

Just five minutes later, Chelsea were back on the attack.

N'Golo Kante picked up the ball in the middle and immediately moved to the left, where Marcos Alonso dribbled down the left flank and abruptly distributed it to Eden Hazard.

The Belgian winger dribbled into the box on the left rib, attracted the attention of the defenders and suddenly knocked back to the edge of the box, and the ball bounced off the ground and rolled to the other side.

Seat B moved laterally from the right side, received Hazard's pass at the top of the arc, and volleyed directly with his feet!

The ball flew forward at breakneck speed and slid into the goal that Minho had come to guard again.

1：2！

Chelsea complete the comeback!

And it only took them five minutes in total.

This made Liverpool's formation even more flustered.

They have seen a noticeable increase in passing and receiving errors in central midfield.

In the 79th minute, Liverpool once passed the ball to Gerrard in the midfield, but was poked out by the grabbing Nemanja Matic, and Kante launched a counterattack on the spot after winning the ball.

Lukaku was ready to burst into the box as soon as he got the ball, but Liverpool defender Skrtel, who couldn't get back to defense, had no choice but to bring him down, but fortunately the referee showed mercy and did not show another yellow card, otherwise he would have been sent off.

But Chelsea were rewarded with a well-placed free-kick.

David Luiz didn't miss the opportunity and kicked one of his best elevator balls in his best position!

The ball went into Liverpool's goal in a weird arc, 1:3!

After being scored three goals in a row, Rodgers on the sidelines also looked very depressed, and had to make substitutions to make adjustments, wanting to strengthen the defense in the midfield, and the team began to be forced to retreat.

It was only at this time that Chelsea's offensive took a break.

But by this time, the momentum of Rodgers and all the Liverpool players had been completely crushed.

They barely managed to score a goal in the first half when Chelsea were on hold, but after 65 minutes in the second half, they were beaten three times in the space of more than 10 minutes, a blow that no ordinary person can bear.

After the last ten minutes, the referee finally blew the final whistle.

Looking at the Chelsea generals who were celebrating the victory, Rodgers also exhaled heavily, shook his head and said:

"Pan Yi is really powerful, and he deserves his reputation! His 11-game winning streak in the Premier League is definitely not accidental......"

After these ninety minutes of fierce battle, he knew very well in his heart that Pan Yi was definitely prepared.

Whether it was the deliberate contraction in the first half, or the suppression of Liverpool's counter-attacking tactics in the second half, and Chelsea's deliberate creation of set-piece opportunities, Pan Yi was always missed.

】

The final process and the result illustrate that, and Chelsea did find it possible to find the back of the net for Liverpool through two free-kick opportunities.

And Rogers, as Pan Yi's opponent, is indeed at a disadvantage everywhere.

Therefore, Rogers also had to admit that he really lost this time!
