U8 Update Fastest Reading Network Before the arrival of the 37th round of the league, dian
At this time, Chelsea is not a week ago. Robben and Duff plus Ferreira, the return of the three main players to the team, their strength has improved a lot.
On the Liverpool side, the strength has declined. Alonso is suspended, and the midfield is missing an important player, and it is certainly not as strong as in the last game.
But even so, the clash between Liverpool and Chelsea is still full of uncertainties. After all, Liverpool has an away goal advantage, and this game can be said to qualify for the final as long as it is a draw, and in contrast, although Chelsea is fully manned, they have never had any too decent attacks when they play Liverpool. The two league goals relied on Joe Cole's substitute goals, but in the league, Robben and Duff, who were attacking against other teams such as Cháo, did not play very satisfactorily after meeting strong teams.
Liverpool, on the other hand, have always been the best team to control them.
"In this game, we are still thinking from the last game. 451 opens, but immediately after the opening, it becomes 352. Squeeze the opponent's space to receive the ball, rather than forcibly blocking the opponent. ”
After returning to Melwood training ground, Rafael Benitez found a number of Chelsea games before one thing was certain.
His approach really works. It's not that it's because of how good his approach is, but because Arjen Robben and Duff have fatal shortcomings in their technical problems, and Mourinho's tactical set-up hasn't changed that very well. Relying on the full-backs to press, the wing hedge hinders the opposition full-backs and midfielders from pressing, so that the full-backs have to return deeply, this idea is definitely the best way to deal with Chelsea.
And once Duff and Robben are blocked, then the process of the game will basically go to Liverpool.
"The thing to watch out for in the back line is to be careful of Drogba's fake falls."
Drogba may be physically strong, but that's not the scariest thing about him. In contrast, it is his ball quotient that is even more remarkable. Although he relies on his body to eat when facing ordinary weak defenders, as long as he encounters someone who is physically stronger than him, he will not hesitate to fall in the front court. 1,
Because he is strong and tall, when he fakes a fall, many times it will make people think: such a strong man will not fake. This kind of impression score has given him a lot of benefits. Drogba has made good use of his strengths, not only the strength of his own strength, but also the impression of his strength.
Carragher and Hyypia also struggled against Drogba. But because Drogba's shè skills and running are not good, they can defend Drogba. But the problem is that Carragher is not a very attentive person, and when it comes to a smart guy like Drogba, there is a good chance that he will be fooled.
In the League Cup final, Hyypia suffered a dark loss from Drogba, and if it wasn't for the linesman's suggestion that the referee change the decision, Hyypia would have been almost sent off. And this kind of thing must not happen in the Champions League.
"In this game, at the beginning, we played defensively. But Joey has one task: we're not exactly defensive football, you need to rely on your running ability to keep their backline close to the halfway line. Don't let them press too hard, and don't let them pull back too much. Then, Stephen waited for the opportunity and played a long ball to Diego to the back to cause the goal. ”
In Benitez's estimate, Mourinho will be pressed out at the beginning of this game. While the manager's tactical thinking is on the conservative side, his temper is quite aggressive. Since his team is fully effective, then their strength is naturally above Liverpool, and at this time, there is still a goal behind, Mourinho will definitely launch an attack.
After all, this is Anfield, and attacking from the start can crush Liverpool with morale. After holding it for a long time, the momentum has been discharged, and it will be difficult to launch an attack again. Away games are very difficult to play, and Mourinho himself values his home results and he will naturally understand the difference between home and away.
And when Benitez thought about it himself, he also had this thought: what is the best thing for Liverpool: judging from the quality of Liverpool's defense in the previous games, they are not afraid of Chelsea's attack, with away goals in hand, the best way is to rely on the defense at the back to keep the advantage of this one goal - Benitez himself moved this idea, but in the end, he was overturned by himself. After all, football is very unpredictable, with only one goal advantage and facing a strong team like Chelsea, it is too difficult to defend.
But you can't actively attack it. If the situation turns into a goal shootout, then an away goal advantage is completely useless. This is your own advantage, and you can't throw it away by yourself.
When he thought about this, Benitez also thought about what to do. Hold on and take the opportunity to steal a goal. He doesn't think it will be difficult - because Liverpool has an away goal advantage in hand, Chelsea wants to win the game, they have to score two goals anyway, and whether the aggregate score is 21 or 22 has little impact on Chelsea, as long as there are more away goals, they can advance, therefore, Liverpool scoring a goal at home has little impact on the situation, with the bet of the opposing manager, it must be better to lose the goal than to score. The coach has played three strikers and four strikers several times this season, and he will definitely bet this vote.
But this is Anfield after all, and as long as Liverpool can score a goal, then, relying on the momentum of the home field, they can hit Chelsea. Although the opposing head coach is not a person who easily admits defeat, the opponent is not everyone who is extremely tough. And as time goes on, the pressure will return more and more to Chelsea, and the game will only become more and more advantageous for Liverpool.
And the way to launch a counterattack is naturally to hit the back directly. The reason why Milito came to execute it was because after Zhao Yaning came on the court, he was always watched too closely, and Milito's situation was about to be good. Without Alonso on their side, the opponent will definitely not think that they will counterattack, which is also Liverpool's biggest reliance when counterattacking.
This one, as long as you win this game, you will get a ticket to Istanbul. Thinking of this, Benitez is also rarely excited: such a good opportunity must not be missed - Liverpool has no 20 years to wait for -
"In this game, the lineup lists of the two sides are about the same as we expected before the game." When looking at the personnel list, Martin Taylor spoke, "On the Chelsea side, there is still the trident of Drogba and Davreben, and behind is the midfield trio of Frank Lampard, Jarosik, and Makelele, and the backfield is still the combination of Ferreira, Terry, Carvalho and Gala, and there is no doubt that the goalkeeper is naturally Cech." As for Liverpool, there is no change at the back, with Gerrard and Biscayne in the midfield, and Hamann forming a three-back formation. And they have Zhao Yaning on the left, Garcia on the right, Milito on the forward line, Risser, Carragher, Hyypia, Finnan on the back line, and Dudek in goalkeeper. Both sides came up with the strongest formation they could take, and this was their last and most important matchup of the tournament. ”
Yes, having played each other five times in a season, Liverpool have a better relative record in the league, but they can't compare to Chelsea's points. And although the League Cup is won, it is just a chicken rib competition. What really matters is this game, after all, winning this game is equivalent to winning a ticket to Istanbul.
Champions League final...... You must know that Liverpool is a declining giant, Chelsea is an emerging aristocracy, and the main forces of the two sides combined, only Zhao Yaning, Carvalho, Ferreira and Makelele have played in the Champions League final. These two teams are both newcomers to the Champions League, and they are extremely eager for the Champions League.
"The race is on...... This game was very different from the last one, Chelsea took a strong attacking stance! Just one minute into the game, Chelsea were shot by Frank Lampard! ”
At the start of the game, Frank Lampard had a long shot, but the ball was deflected wide of the goal. But even so, Chelsea's attitude was clear – they were going to attack and take Liverpool.
Sure enough, Benitez looked at Chelsea's offensive and nodded secretly. Chelsea are not afraid to concede goals but need to score goals, so what they are doing now is to attack, not defend. Jose Mourinho knows how to gamble, he can afford to concede a goal, and the benefits of scoring are even greater, so he dared to gamble with Liverpool.
Chelsea's lack of attack is certainly their fatal weakness, but how strong can Liverpool's attack be? Even if Chelsea was expected by Liverpool to have all the offensive and defensive rhythms, and was almost completely suppressed by Liverpool, in the final result, Liverpool still had penalties, didn't they only score three?
Liverpool's attacking line is also not strong.
'Liverpool have opted for a total contraction, with an away goal advantage in their hands, and they can do that, but don't you think 90 minutes are too early? Accidents in soccer matches can happen at any time. ”
Frank Lampard had a new chance at this point, as Arjen Robben cut forward and fed the ball to the receiving Drogba, who knocked the ball out to Pacos Ferreira, who then fired a cross to Lampard. His shot flew wide and straight towards Liverpool's goal, where Dudek flapped the ball out of bounds and formed a corner.
It was a ferocious attack, and Chelsea had two chances on goal less than five minutes into the game. Although this is Anfield, it is at this time that Chelsea fans are also starting to make a frantic noise. They roared loudly, cheering on their own team. Compared with the last game, the two sides did not want to make progress, this game, Chelsea obviously took the initiative, at least, in this game, the two sides did not wait for more than ten minutes to have the first shè goal.
It's not a bad thing to get into a white-knuckle battle so early. Zhao Yaning, who was on the field, also flashed his thoughts at this time: Do you want to decide the outcome early? ω· u(8) Update the fastest reading network
