Chinese The game at Stamford Bridge has finally begun.

Liverpool, after two rounds of winless games, this game can be regarded as the main force. Reina, Reese, Hyypia, Carragher, McConn, Sissoko, Alonso, Zhao Yaning, Gerrard, Figo, Milito - these eleven are the absolute main team of Liverpool.

And Chelsea's side also came up with the strongest lineup, but at this time, the strongest lineup they came up with has already been lost.

Cech, Galla, Terry, Carvalho, Del Orno, Makelele, Essien, Lampard, Joe Cole, Robben, and up front, Crespo.

The biggest change to Chelsea's squad this season is that Del Horno replaces Pacos Ferreira as the starting line-up last season: it's not that Ferreira is not performing, it's that he is injured.

Joe Cole has been in excellent form this season, replacing Duff as Chelsea's starter when he suffered a series of injuries and struggles.

On the forward line, Drogba, the original main player, is now back in Africa to play in the Africa Cup of Nations, and the position is naturally abandoned. This season, Crespo's goal efficiency has reached an average of 0.5 goals per game, which is better than Gudjohnsen, so he is also regarded as a Chelsea starter.

But although he can be regarded as a starter, and his goal efficiency is not bad, when it comes to tactical role, compared to Drogba, it is really not a grade.

As soon as the whistle blew and the game began, the two sides immediately began to fight for midfield.

"I have to say that now without Drogba, Chelsea's attacking power has dropped a lot." Watching the game, Martin Taylor couldn't help but speak, "When he was there, we all cursed him for not scoring goals, scolded him for being a parallel import, said that he was useless, it was better to replace him with a striker who could score." But once he's gone, Chelsea are playing really badly. ”

"It's like a toothless lion that can't bite people at all." There is a consensus on this.

"Not only are they toothless, but they also seem to have broken claws."

Is Chelsea without Drogba a toothless lion? No, apparently not. Without Drogba, the lion of Chelsea is not only toothless, but also degraded with its claws.

Robben Drog Balland Lampard, who was once a very good attacking line at Chelsea, is now missing the most important intermediate link. Robben can still play long balls, but now his long passes are looking for Crespo, and Crespo doesn't have the time to get the ball back, and for a killer, scoring is instinct.

All of a sudden, it was tantamount to making most of Lampard's role disappear - without Lampard, who was a threat from behind, it would be difficult to play his full role in the game.

And Robben didn't like to pass the ball to Crespo because it was too much trouble. Drogba's position is always very simple, he is in the front court, but there is never anything to dodge, where the ball passes, he runs to fight for the top, he is keen to fight against opponents, and he is not afraid of all kinds of challenges. Crespo, on the other hand, relied heavily on his own movement, always relying on constant movement to lead away opponents and create chances for himself, but this also had a great impact on Robben who passed the ball: it is common sense that moving targets are much more difficult to hit than fixed targets. Passing the ball to Drogba and driving wide into the box can create chances, but passing the ball to Crespo has to seize the opportunity and feed him the ball.

Robben didn't like this style of play, so, in order to make up for this problem, Robben's approach was to constantly cut inside and shoot himself.

This is also a good way to complement Drogba's departure, and his shooting ability is still quite good. However, this style of play is tantamount to further squeezing Lampard's space, making Lampard's running problematic.

And again, there is a big problem, that is, to deal with Crespo, Liverpool's way is much more than to deal with Drogba.

Drogba's nose and movement as a striker can only be regarded as average, and when he plays, his style of play has always been simple and rough: he relies on tough encounters with defenders to win. He is well aware of his flaws and he is aware of his strengths, which are his biggest strengths in playing.

However, Crespo doesn't like to rely on physical toughness, he prefers to move around the back line and rely on his ability to counter offside to get opportunities. But this also makes Liverpool's defense more daring to mention it further forward - although Chelsea is very strong, this kind of anti-offside running style cannot be played in Chelsea. For a long time, Chelsea's midfield, relying on Lampard to do routine combing work, and Robben and Duff to disrupt the opponent's defense, after the introduction of Essien this year, Essien can also complete some raiding work, however, Chelsea team, there is no very good master of playmaking, and Crespo, as a striker, is not as willing to fight as Drogba, willing to compete for half of the ball, therefore, in this system, he really can't play much role.

Instead, Liverpool's defence moved up a lot, pushing Chelsea's midfield further back, further squeezing Frank Lampard's space and making his performance even worse.

In this game, Frank Lampard's role in the attacking end was completely wiped out. The impact of a Drogba on Chelsea is obviously not a quantitative change, but a qualitative change. Frank Lampard's poor performance has been key to Chelsea's struggles to win these games.

And Chelsea's current attacking line, Crespo is useless, Lampard is useless, but Mourinho still believes in Crespo, in fact, also put the bet on Joe Cole......

He has put in the best performance of his career so far this season, even replacing Duff as Chelsea's main left winger. Although the English media has always questioned Mourinho's practice of destroying talent, believing that he put Joe Cole in the winger position, which is to wear down Joe Cole's aura and make him less progressive, but I have to admit that the so-called Joe Cole is better to play in the forward midfield, after all, it is just an idea, and in the left winger position, he did succeed.

Since the beginning of this season, Duff has gradually faded out of the main force - although Duff and Robben are equally famous, and last season has been considered an indispensable person for Chelsea, but in fact, he is inferior to Robben after all, and he was born in 1979, and he is now 27 years old, a speed player, and has been seriously injured more than once, at this age, it is not strange to fade out of the main team.

Joe Cole, on the other hand, fills that position. Although he doesn't have a speed advantage, he does have a very good technique, and his aura, which is rare among English players, can often pass some good balls, and sometimes, he can indeed activate Crespo.

However, the biggest problem with such a player who eats by aura is that not every game can run rampant with such a thing as aura. In fact, so many players who are evaluated as spiritual, except for one Ronaldinho who had a terrible flash of inspiration in almost every game at his peak, it is difficult for other players to exert their aura throughout. Instability in performance is a problem that plagues every Reiki player.

It's just that in this game, Chelsea's conventional tactics can't play anyway, so you might as well try this point. However, Joe Cole was extremely restrained by McCone in the confrontation with McConn, and until now, he has not found any chance.

Chelsea's attack can be said to have been abolished by itself, but now, relying on their excellent defense at the back with Makelele and Essien, and Terry in the backfield to guard Milito is also very well defended, Liverpool's offensive is also eager There is no way to make a difference, and the two sides are in the midfield, caught in a constant entanglement.

However, this current entanglement does give Liverpool an advantage. This also gave the commentators a weird feeling.

"In the previous game, Liverpool completely suppressed Manchester United on the field at Old Trafford, but in the end, due to unexpected reasons, they did not win." Martin Taylor said, "This game is not going to be a rehash, is it? ”

"Probably not, where are there two key battles where players are sent off one after another?"

The commentators don't know, but the players on both sides know the importance of the game. This is the battle that will determine the direction of the championship this season, and winning this game is equivalent to winning the initiative to win the championship. Both sides understand that at this time, there must be no more losses.

"However, looking at Chelsea's attack now, it is really completely out of order. Coach Jose Mourinho should think about a tactic to win without Drogba, rather than pinning his hopes on Arjen Robben and Joe Cole going it alone. ”

As he said this, Robben relied on a quick break through the inside cut after Reiser, and hit the goal with a kick, which was saved by Reina. It's not the first time he's done this game, in fact, Reyna defends his long-range shots well, but he's kept trying.

'Drogba's role is too big for Chelsea. If there really is a way to get rid of Didier Drogba and still win the game, why do Chelsea need a striker who doesn't score? ”

There is no way to solve this problem in the first place. The team's tactical system is too complete, the whole team is like a precision instrument, and the team's results will naturally be greatly affected.

By this time, Chelsea had already taken a corner, Frank Lampard passed the ball to the front post, and at the front post, Terry jumped up, although Hyypia behind him gave him no room to turn, but he still had a top ball and headed the ball towards the back post!

Carragher, who was at the back point, took the lead to the ball, but the ball did not fall far, just in the penalty area, Gala got the ball, he did not adjust, shot the goal, and kicked the ball towards the goal!

The shot that was close at hand rushed towards the goal, but at this time Reina immediately made an emergency save, he jumped up very awkwardly, but successfully took the football into his arms!

Mourinho was already ready to celebrate on the sidelines, but when he saw this, he covered his head helplessly.

It's something he's planned for a long time – Chelsea's attack has been a bit of a slag in those two games, and he understands that he has to make adjustments. But it's hard for a good woman to cook without rice, Chelsea only have these people, and he can't come up with any excellent attacking system.

But the good thing is that there are also set-pieces. Relying on Liverpool's and even the Premier League's contempt for Chelsea's attacking power, Mourinho wants to take a gamble, betting that Chelsea's set-pieces can open up the situation. A lion is also a beast without teeth and cannot be underestimated. It's just a pity that they encountered Reina's super level of play, and the save of this ball boosted Liverpool's morale!

The lions are toothless, and we have cracked the traps they have laid now, and now all we need to do is kill them! Cat flutter Chinese
