Football’s First Defender

The fans are the most realistic, although in the street interviews before the start of the game or on the fan website, the fans generally expressed their dissatisfaction with Chelsea.

But in the stadium, when their own team scored first and took the lead, the fans used their craziest cheers to show their support and love for the team.

However, the broadcast camera suddenly changed and moved the camera away from the celebrating players and fans. When they found Mourinho sitting on the bench, it was obvious that Mourinho's expression was not so excited.

Although it's not like the brow is unlocked like it was in the beginning.

But it is just a plain face of a passer-by, without too strong expression fluctuations, which is in stark contrast to the Chelsea fans in the previous shots.

"The Premier League broadcasting official is too bad! Mourinho's expression, you say that there is no problem inside Chelsea, who will believe it?"

"The internal strife is real! There is no way, Mourinho's way, the current superstars will definitely not be able to stand it."

"Don't guess so much, maybe Mourinho just felt that this goal was a bit of a mistake, and it didn't fit his tactics..."

Thanks to today's excellent broadcast technology, while watching the game, there is a barrage that allows many "knowledgeable" fans to interact in real time.

Compared with this goal, many fans prefer to discuss the "gossip" of Chelsea today.

However, Mourinho's expression is definitely an obvious signal, showing the gap between him and this Chelsea team.

Of course, unlike Mourinho's plainness, Klopp clenched his fists on the sidelines and roared loudly. He was reprimanding these players, showing his angry attitude.

However, everyone knows Klopp's coaching style. This kind of passionate sideline performance has already impressed the fans deeply after he came to the Premier League.

At least, no one will look at Klopp's emotional expression about the conceded goal and think that there will be any gap between him and the team players.

In the subsequent game process, there was not much difference from the pre-match speculation. Although Chelsea scored the first goal at home and took the lead, they did not really take the initiative in the game scene.

After a poor start, Liverpool did not lose their fighting spirit in the game, but tried their best to do the best the team could do away from home.

Relying on the team's active pressing and the ability to organize the possession of the ball on the offensive end, Liverpool dominated the possession of the ball against the guest.

Chelsea, who were playing at home, was firmly suppressed by Liverpool even though they were cheered by the fans.

"Hey! The old problem has happened again! It doesn't have the original smell at all!"

"It's no wonder that Mourinho will go crazy. The attitude of this game is really not the original iron-blooded blue team!"

"I think it's Mourinho's problem. The players don't have the mentality to play actively. Maybe let Mourinho get out of get out of get out of class quickly so that the players can perform well. At least from the goal just now, the Chelsea players They still have strength."

If on the offensive end, Chelsea can still rely on the personal abilities of the players to perform well, then on the defensive end, today's Chelsea is obviously not in line with Chelsea's image all the time.

On the court, except for a few people who were running and defending tirelessly, many people stood still and acted as "war reporters", without any active running posture at all.

It is precisely because of Chelsea's lack of defensive pressing that the team has no good way to achieve a good defensive effect in the game at this time.

When Liverpool have a large enough possession rate to lead, they can complete a considerable amount of offensive organization in the frontcourt during the game.

Fortunately, although Chelsea's pressing force in the frontcourt is not strong, Chelsea's defense line, which has always been at the top level in the Premier League, can still guarantee the last line of defense on the defensive end.

Although Liverpool's offense can create a threat, most of them are long-range shots from the outside, and cannot create a big enough threat in the penalty area.

Chelsea's defense is firmly guarding the penalty area, but the entire area outside the penalty area is almost "occupied", and it is in an area that Liverpool's offensive edge can easily reach.

In the 13th minute of the game, after Coutinho broke through to the middle, he suddenly chose a cross pass.

Klein, the Liverpool right back, did not wait for the ball on the wing this time, but moved laterally, which happened to disrupt Chelsea's defensive arrangement. In the open position, he received a precise pass from Coutinho and kicked The long-range shot hit the goal and hit the post. It can only be said that Chelsea was lucky, and this long-range shot did not score.

And Liverpool's offensive is still continuing. Since they almost scored a goal, they must try their best to score a goal in the future.

In the 21st minute of the game, this time Coutinho attacked by himself. In the game, after connecting two people in the middle, he directly completed a wonderful long shot in the game.

The football went straight to the dead corner of the goal, but Courtois used his excellent reaction to save the ball, and once again blocked a very threatening goal from Liverpool.

However, as the saying goes, repeat again and again, after two consecutive very threatening long-range shots, and then interspersed with quite a lot of ordinary threatening shots, the many attempts on the offensive end were still at the last moment of the first half. Scored a goal for Liverpool.

In the second minute of stoppage time in the first half, with less than half a minute before the end of stoppage time, Liverpool continued to organize the attack in the frontcourt. This is the spirit that Klopp injected into this team. The game is not over yet, so no time can be wasted, Liverpool has no shortage of miracles.

First, Milner received the ball on the right. Milner had been making a direct 45-degree cross from this side before, looking for his teammates in the penalty area.

In the case of Milner making another cross, Chelsea's defensive players have become quite accustomed to finding a good position in the penalty area and defending Liverpool players from fighting for the top in the penalty area.

It's just that Milner's long pass this time is completely fake. In the final pass method, he chose to push the ball out and make a direct pass to find Lallana who had withdrawn from the front and back of the penalty area.

After receiving the ball, Lallana retreated further. Before Chelsea's front and rear players completed the flanking defense, he flicked his ankle and sent the ball to the center.

It was Coutinho who came over from the middle position.

Very good ball-stopping technique, leaving no room for the opponent to grab the ball.

After that, Coutinho followed the direction of receiving the ball, preparing to pass the ball directly to hit the goal, which attracted Ramirez's direct sliding shovel to block.

However, all these are fake moves.

Under the surprised eyes of the Chelsea players, Coutinho stopped the ball with his right foot, smashed the ball, and in one go, he fiddled with the ball to his left foot in an instant, and then directly in front of the penalty area, he completed a rubbing shot with his left foot on the spot.

Courtois in front of the goal was also deceived by Coutinho's false kick at the beginning, or it was not quite that Coutinho would use his unaccustomed left foot to complete the goal.

Courtois, who couldn't react in time, tried to make a save, but it was too late, and the ball flew directly into the goal.

The Liverpool players were celebrating, but the camera quickly turned to the sidelines. Before the first half of the game was completely over, Mourinho turned around without hesitation and walked into the passageway back to the locker room Inside, only a resolute back is left for the broadcast camera...
