Chapter 241: Pressing from a high position

Pre-match predictions, it was widely believed that although Chelsea were playing at home, it would not be easy to get past Liverpool.

Therefore, the vast majority of fans believe that Klopp will get another draw after this game.

Of course, Liverpool fans believe that the first victory of "Uncle Scum" is to be obtained from Mourinho's Chelsea, which has more memorable significance.

Starting lists for both sides.

Mourinho continued to play the 352 formation, and he still felt that the 343 was too risky.

Willian returned to the starting line-up, Pedro was absent due to injury, and Pedro did not adapt well to the high-intensity confrontation in the Premier League.

The specific list is as follows:

Jose continued to be the starting goalkeeper, Begovic continued to sit on the bench, and Courtois continued to claim injury.

John Terry continues to lead the defence, flanked by Gary Cahill and Kurt Zouma, a combination that will remain the case ahead of the winter move.

Cesar Azpilicueta played at left midfield, while Ramires played on the other flank.

There was a slight change in the midfield three, with Mikel getting his chance to start, joining Cesc Fabregas and Willian in midfield.

Up front, Diego Costa and Eden Hazard work together and are ready to deliver the killer strike.

In addition, on the bench, Oscar, Falcao, Remy, and Nemanja Matic were on call.

Jurgen Klopp is a legend who led Borussia Dortmund to break Bayern's monopoly, and he set up a 4321 Christmas tree formation in this game.

The specific list is as follows.

Goalkeeper: Mignolet.

Defenders: Alberto Moreno, Sacco, Skrtel, Klein.

Three midfielders: Lucas, Emre Can, Milner.

Two defenders: Coutinho, Lallana.

Centre-forward: Roberto Firmino.

In addition, Jose's former teammate Benteke was on the bench, along with Jordan Ibby, Lovren, Joe Allen and others.

The moment José stepped onto the court, the system released a new mission on time.

Seeing that the system only allowed him to use the plug-in once, Jose couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

According to Jose's inference in the previous game, the number of times the system allowed him to use the cheating indicates that the opponent is likely to get a few must-score chances in that game.

But is it really that simple?

Liverpool kicked off first and had their first shot on goal.

Unfortunately, Coutinho's long-range shot did not threaten Jose at all, and he was completely off the target.

Jurgen Klopp has not been in charge for long, but his revamp to Liverpool has begun to bear fruit, with the most obvious change being more movement of players.

Liverpool's crazy running tactics made Jose easily reminded of meeting Dortmund in the Bundesliga.

It was a game that I will never forget.

If it weren't for Jose's outstanding performance, Dort's second leg would have upset the Bayer Leverkusen team.

Jose takes a goal kick and plays a long ball straight to Cesar Azpilicueta on the wing.

Cesar Azpilicueta took the ball and advanced down the wing, and in the blink of an eye he was already near the opponent's baseline.

After getting rid of the interception of the Liverpool player, Azpilicueta crosses with his left foot.

Eleven yards in front of goal, Ramirez, who had just renewed his contract, pressed Moreno's header into the goal.

The goal went in, 1-0.

At this time, the game had just reached the fourth minute.

Chelsea's first wave of attack resulted in a goal.

Does that mean Chelsea will have an easy victory?

Obviously, it's not that simple.

Liverpool quickly adjusted, and in addition to increasing their running, they also added high-end counter-attacking tactics.

As a result, Chelsea players are forced to get the ball in close quarters by their opponents, both up front and at the back.

In the face of the high counter-attack of the Liverpool players, the Chelsea players said they were very uncomfortable.

Slowly, Chelsea began to fall behind.

And Liverpool's shooting chances have skyrocketed.

Had it not been for Jose's quick reflexes, Liverpool could have taken the lead in the first ten minutes.

José secretly felt bad in his heart.

First half stoppage time.

Liverpool made a steal in front.

Firmino passes.

Coutinho takes the ball and faces Ramirez.

Ramirez's failed interception gave Coutinho the chance to shoot from his feet.

On the edge of the six-yard box, Coutinho shoots hard.

The ball flew straight towards the left side of the goal.

Jose immediately felt bad.

However, it was too late, even if he used the plug-in, Jose was only less than fifty percent sure that he could save the opponent's shot.

If you use a plug-in and fail to pounce, it will be a big loss.

The task of the system is to help the team remain unbeaten, so Coutinho's goal does not affect Jose to complete the task.

For some reason, the god-level prediction that claims to have a 50% probability is less than 5% of the actual response probability.

This probability must have been learned from Boss Ma!

Unfortunately, Jose was unable to prevent an equaliser before half-time, despite Jose making several saves from Liverpool's shots.

Coutinho's shot grazed the left-hand post and into the net.

Intermission.

'There's something about this Klopp, and he can press Chelsea's attack away from home.

"If it weren't for Jose's brilliant save, Liverpool would have turned the score on a comeback."

Just when the fans were buzzing, the statistics for the first half came out.

The stats show that Jose made a total of seven saves in the first half, four of which were for scoring chances.

The Liverpool goalkeeper, on the other hand, made only one save in the entire first half, and that was the one Ramirez scored.

Under Liverpool's high pressing, Chelsea never had a shot on target in the entire first half, which was really not in line with the performance of the team at the top of the table.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Liverpool's tactics remained the same, and Mourinho couldn't find a good way to deal with it for a while.

In the 59th minute, Jose Mourinho began to make a substitution, bringing on Oscar for Eden Hazard.

In the first half of the game, Hazard on the forward line did not have many opportunities to get the ball, and Hazard without the ball was a big threat.

It's just that Oscar also didn't have much chance after he played.

Jose was speechless about the current situation, but he could only deal with it with all his might.

In the 59th minute, Liverpool had another good chance.

Coutinho linked up with Lallana to get past John Terry's interception and shoot again from inside the six-yard box.

This is another chance to score with a high probability.

Jose didn't use the cheating because he finally understood that the system allowed him to use the cheating once did not mean that Liverpool only had one absolute scoring chance.

The system is still hopeful that José will be able to use his abilities to solve the problem.

For the opponent's shot, Jose chose to save with all his strength and blocked the ball with one hand.

Liverpool were awarded another corner.

Eryang is uncomfortable.
