During the intermission, Conte continued to give Chelsea players psychological construction in the locker room, so that they could regain their fighting spirit.

This alone took him about ten minutes, and the time left for him to make tactical adjustments was less than five minutes...

At the same time in the Liverpool dressing room, Ancelotti made some adjustments to the situation shown in the first half.

Modric wasn't very good in the first half, but Ancelotti didn't intend to take him off, didn't even criticize him.

Inspired by his performance in the first half, Ancelotti intends to hand over the task of organizing the attack to Su Han.

Su Han did not express any objection to the task Ancelotti gave him, and nodded in agreement directly.

It's not like he hasn't done the job anyway.

There was a time when he completed a hat-trick of assists in a Champions League group match.

And to put it bluntly, his position on the court is not a forward, but a midfielder.

Although he scored a lot of goals, in fact he is really a midfielder.

Since it is an attacking midfielder, in addition to scoring, it is natural to organize the offense.

Su Han also doesn't think about asking himself to organize the offense at all, whether it will reduce his own goals or not. In his view, the two are completely incompatible.

No one has stipulated that a playmaker cannot score a goal.

In the second half of the game, Su Han will of course put more energy into connecting the frontcourt and creating opportunities for his teammates, but it does not mean that if there is a chance to score in front of him, he will let it go easily.

After a 15-minute break, the two sides re-entered the field and changed sides to fight again.

Liverpool did not make any adjustments here, but Chelsea took the lead in making substitutions.

At half-time, Conte replaced Paolo Ferreira with Ivanovic.

Paulo Ferreira had both offensive and defensive skills in Porto, but after coming to Chelsea, his performance was unstable. Now he has become more cautious and will not easily overstep the threshold.

Condi let him start because of his defensive ability.

He wanted to contain Liverpool's attack on the wing.

On the left is the reassuring Louis Felipe, on the right is Paolo Ferreira.

However, before the end of the first half, Liverpool scored a goal.

Although the conceded goal has nothing to do with Paulo Ferreira, he performed well in the first half, but Condi replaced Paulo Ferreira because he made some adjustments to his tactics.

He wants to attack but is unwilling to relax the requirements on defense, so the full-back must be a person who can go up and down, and at the same time must have excellent assist ability. If he is only good at defense

That's useless and contributes almost nothing to the team's offense.

This is not enough. How can Chelsea rely on defense alone if they want to win at home?

Paulo Ferreira doesn't dare to attack now, he doesn't dare to press, how can this work?

And Ivanovic is an all-rounder on the defensive line, and he also has a strong offensive ability.

Bringing him on could strengthen Chelsea's attack on the wing.

At the same time, compared with other players on the field, he played less than half a game, and there is no problem in physical fitness.

Even if you sprint back and forth, you don't have to worry about your physical stamina getting exhausted soon.

Such was Conti's tactic.

Chelsea requires a balance of offense and defense. It must be able to invest a large amount of troops in the offense, and it must also be able to return in the defense, so that it can quickly form a defensive line.

This puts higher demands on the physical fitness of the full-backs.

If Chelsea's offensive is very fierce, the two full-backs will have to keep pushing forward and then retreating. Doing back and forth sprints of tens of meters to 100 meters is all anaerobic exercise, which is very tiring.

But now, do they have any other choice than to do so?

Of course, they don't need to go up to participate in the attack, just keep a solid defense. But in this way, Chelsea did not invest enough troops in the offense to continue to put pressure on Liverpool. If they want to score goals in the offense, they really can only rely on luck.

They can also participate in the offense frequently, but they don't return to the defense, but then Chelsea won't even talk about winning, and I'm afraid they won't even be able to keep the current draw.

Kongdi also knew that if the two full-backs shuttled so frequently, their physical fitness would be unable to support them in the end. So he was ready before the game.

Among the seven substitute players in this game, Ancelotti brought three defenders, of which Belletti is a right back, and Ivanovic can play both a central defender and a right back.

At left-back, Chelsea started with Louis Felipe.

This is a reassuring left back. He can monopolize the left corridor by himself, so he doesn't need a substitute here.

On the right, Condi made full preparations. After Ivanovic came on the field, because he ran half the field less than others, he had plenty of energy, so he could play on the side without worrying about lack of energy. Road to sprint.

And if there is even a problem with his physical fitness, Condi will replace him with Belletti.

In other words, as long as Ivanovic has other problems, Conti will still have a Belletti sitting on the bench.

In this way, on the right, Chelsea's offense and defense are guaranteed.

So after the start of the second half, Chelsea continued to put pressure on Liverpool's penalty area just like the beginning of the first half.

For a time, they had the upper hand, whether it was the ball possession rate calculated by the statistics, or the feeling of Chelsea in the senses.

The Chelsea fans in the stands saw that their team had gained the upper hand, and followed suit. They kept singing and shouting in the stands to cheer for the team. .
