"Hello, viewers, this is Sky Sports! I am Tim Laursen!" Sky Sports commentator Tim Laursen began his opening remarks, "Today we at Sky Sports bring you

It was a game in the first leg of this season’s European Championship quarter-finals, and the two teams we faced were both teams from the Premier League, Chelsea and Liverpool.”

"Hello everyone, I'm Gary Lineker." At this time, Gary Lineker also joined in, "This is another match between the two sides in the UEFA Champions League after the European semi-finals last season.

The fight."

"Now let me introduce the current situation of both sides. Chelsea's current performance ranking in the Premier League is still good. They are ranked third in the Premier League. However, they are too far away from the Premier League championship. They only have a theoretical chance to win the championship.

Hope. In fact, no one believes that they still have hope of winning the championship." Sky Sports' Tim Laursen said.

"So, the Champions League has now become Chelsea's only pursuit. They will do their best to hit the Champions League title. So, this is not an easy opponent for Liverpool." Gary Lineker of Sky Sports

said.

"As for Chelsea's opponents, Liverpool is currently ranked first in the Premier League. It has been very strong recently. It has just surpassed Manchester United and regained the top spot in the league. Their morale is very high, which is bound to cause some trouble for Chelsea."

Sky Sports commentator Gary Lineker analyzed.

"Both sides have their own advantages in this game. This should be a close game. It's hard to say who will win." Sky Sports commentator Tim Laursen said.

"Okay, now the players from both sides have appeared and the game is about to start." Sky Sports commentator Tim Laursen said.

The fans on both sides are ready and waiting for the referee to blow the whistle to start the game.

Beep! As soon as the whistle blew, Chelsea's home match against Liverpool in the Champions League quarter-finals officially started.

The first to kick off was the home team Chelsea. Today Chelsea formed a 433 formation, with Petr Cech in the goalkeeper position.

The back four is Ashley Cole, Carvalho, Terry and Paulo Ferreira. The midfield three is Essien, Deco and Lampard, and the forwards are

The three people are Malouda, Drogba and Carew.

Chelsea's formation today is surprising, because the positions of the three midfielders are so shocking. Essien, Deco and Lampard are like three midfielders lying across the field.

In front of Chelsea's back line, the three players are very close to each other, and they all seem to be concentrated in the middle, leaving the two wings out.

In this way, Chelsea's defense in the center will definitely be very tight, but the defense on the two opposite wings will be relatively weak.

However, Benitez doesn't think so, because in Benitez's view, Scolari paid great attention to defense today, and his formation has changed a lot.

When defending, his formation is definitely not 433, but 451. When the two wing forwards are defending, they must return to the midfield to strengthen the defense of the wings. In this way, Chelsea's defense

If one person loses, there can be up to nine people. This defense is definitely quite intensive.

When attacking, this formation should also change. It can be a four-three-three, or it can also change into a two-three-two-three. Because when attacking, the two full-backs must press hard.

To support the attack, otherwise Scolari would not have vacated these two wings.

Of course, this requires very high requirements for the two full-backs, but Chelsea's two full-backs happen to be able to adapt to this style of play. While their defense is good, their offense is also very powerful, especially Ash on the left.

Leigh Cole.

Therefore, in Benitez's view, Scolari's arrangement cannot be taken lightly at all, and must be dealt with seriously, otherwise it will be his Liverpool team that suffers.

The Liverpool team's formation today has not changed much. It is still 4,231. This is the formation that Liverpool is most familiar with, the most proficient and the most offensive. Of course, Liverpool will not be willing to change anything.

.

The goalkeeper is Reina, and the four defenders are Arbeloa, Skrtel, Daniel Agger and Joel Luca. The double midfielders are Gerrard and Xabi Alonso.

The three forwards are Kuyt, Qiu Ze and Arshavin, with Torres at the front.

Although Liverpool has not changed much, Scolari does not dare to underestimate the Liverpool team at all.

After the start of the game, Chelsea did not attack wildly. Today Chelsea focused on defense. Of course, this does not mean that Chelsea people are not incapable of attacking. They are just more cautious when attacking.

Chelsea dropped the ball in the midfield and the two full-backs took turns advancing and retreating. On the one hand, they were looking for a feeling, and on the other hand, they were trying to confuse the Liverpool players on the field.

At this moment, Deco in the middle suddenly discovered Ashley Cole who was suddenly advancing from the wing, and then directly passed the ball over the top and sent the football to the wing. Ashley Cole advanced.

On the line, the Chelsea fans at the scene immediately burst into cheers.

Ashley Cole moved forward quickly. His timing was very good, and Deco's pass was timely. The football just fell within the control range in front of him. Ashley Cole immediately rushed forward.

He rushed forward and caught the football easily.

Liverpool's winger Kuyt immediately rushed forward. Ashley Cole immediately crossed the football to the center, then accelerated and rushed past Kuyt. Drogba, who retreated from the center to get the ball, did not stop.

The ball was passed directly to Ashley Cole who broke through.

One-two! The two passed Kuyt easily, Ashley Cole quickly broke through with the ball, and Drogba quickly penetrated into Liverpool's penalty area.

At this time, Liverpool's full-back Joel Luca was guarding Chelsea's full forward Malouda. At this time, full-back Ashley Cole rushed up with the ball again, which made Joel Luca

I'm a bit embarrassed, I don't know who to go with.

At this moment, Malouda suddenly turned around and rushed towards Liverpool's penalty area. This shocked Joelluka. He subconsciously wanted to follow Malouda into the penalty area. However, he suddenly thought of running from the wing.

What should Ashley Cole do? His feet couldn't help but pause.

At this moment, Ashley Cole on the wing seized the opportunity and immediately moved the football to the baseline. Then he quickly chased the football and broke through Joel Luka.

"It's over! Ashley Cole passed Joel Luka!" Sky Sports commentator Tim Laursen immediately shouted excitedly.

The Chelsea fans at the scene were also very excited. They immediately shouted excitedly in the stands: "Kill the arrogant Liverpool guys! Kick their balls out! Fuck them to death, Ashley!"

The Chelsea fans were very excited. At this time, they poured out all their anger on Liverpool. They wanted to jump off the field immediately and kick Liverpool's butt so hard that they would never be able to get up.

The faces of the Liverpool fans at the scene changed slightly, and they couldn't help but feel nervous.

Boom! Ashley Cole, who broke through Joel Luka, did not stick to the ball. He caught up with the ball and kicked it into the Liverpool penalty area.

The football drew a strong arc in the air with a strong spin, and then flew rapidly into the Liverpool penalty area, which shocked the defensive players in the Liverpool penalty area.

"Header!" Sky Sports commentator Gary Lineker suddenly opened his voice and roared crazily.

In the middle of the penalty area, Chelsea center Drogba rushed in like a bull and hit the flying football hard with his head. The football immediately hit the Liverpool gate like lightning.

During this period, Liverpool's defensive players had no chance at all. The ball seemed to have opened its eyes, flying around them and directly into the open space. Drogba, who rushed in, seized the opportunity.

Suddenly, all the Chelsea fans in the audience jumped up, because the ball was too fast and they did not believe that the ball would be saved. They had already begun to celebrate, cheering crazily: "Chelsea's best ball."

Great! Chelsea is perfect!”

The expressions of the Liverpool fans suddenly became extremely defeated. In their hearts, they did not think that Reina could save the ball.

It's dangerous!

Reina's eyes suddenly widened, and he raised his hands suddenly, but still did not touch the lightning-fast football. Suddenly, Reina's heart fell to the bottom.

Bang! There was a sound of steel, and everyone in the audience was shocked. Then all the Chelsea people crazily hugged their heads and watched all this with dumbfounded eyes.

"Damn it! The football hit the crossbar hard! The ball didn't go in! The Liverpool people are so unlucky!" Sky Sports commentator Tim Laursen roared with great excitement.

The football hit the Liverpool goal post with a loud clang, making the entire goal tremble.

The expressions of all the Chelsea fans suddenly changed. They opened their mouths, widened their eyes, and looked in disbelief.

The football bounced out quickly and landed at the feet of Qiu Ze, who was chasing after him quickly.

Qiu Ze was not stunned. His many years of playing football kept his head clear at all times. At this time, Qiu Ze understood very well what a good opportunity to counterattack. He must not waste it!

Qiu Ze immediately turned around after catching the ball. Just as he imagined, the road in front of him was smooth and there was no one to mark him at all.

Qiu Ze was not polite and directly dribbled the ball towards Chelsea's half.

At this time, the three midfielders in front of Chelsea's back line were not well positioned. Their positions were messed up and their mutual protection was not enough. This was the best opportunity for Qiu Ze to break through each one.

When Qiu Ze took the ball, Liverpool's frontcourt offensive players also reacted and immediately rushed forward crazily in the direction of Chelsea's goal. This was a God-given counterattack opportunity.

Liverpool's offensive players firmly believe that Qiu Ze can accurately pass the football to their feet, they just need to run wildly out of position.

In the hearts of Liverpool players, Qiu Ze is like this. This guy is simply an extremely accurate passing machine. You don't have to be surprised if he passes any good ball from Yang, because this is a normal thing. They

Already seen a lot.

Although the Chelsea players are not as familiar with Qiu Ze as the Liverpool players, they have played against each other so many times and watched countless videos of Qiu Ze's games. They all know that Qiu Ze is very good, especially the three big brothers who defend in the middle.

Lampard was the first to rush forward. He couldn't give Qiu Ze a chance to pass the ball. He definitely couldn't let Qiu Ze pass the ball.
