Long before this match, many professional ball critics regarded this grass carp match as a Premier League battle.

It's not that these three points will definitely determine the championship, but it's a momentum.

To compete for a league championship, momentum is very important, one drum, then decline, three and exhaustion, China's art of war applied to the competition for the league championship, can be said to be in one sentence.

Among them, the Guardian has made a special comparison, listing the advantages and disadvantages between Liverpool and Chelsea.

From the perspective of the head coach, Yang Cheng and Mourinho can be said to be the two hottest coaches in European football at the moment, Yang Cheng does not need to say more, the invincibility in Europe over the years is enough to confirm his coaching ability, and Mourinho is not as brilliant as Yang Cheng, but he can also be regarded as a rare coach.

At least in his first season in charge of the Premier League, he was able to snatch the league title from Yang Cheng, which is not something anyone can do, and his Chelsea management has not had any run-in periods, and the Portuguese's control can be seen.

Therefore, in the comparison, in terms of head coaches, Yang Cheng has a slight upper hand.

At the technical and tactical level of the team, Liverpool played 433, 4231, and even 442, and the Red Army can switch back and forth in three different sets of tactical formations, and the players in the team have different characteristics, and the attacking means are very rich, both on the wings and in the middle, and even many people feel that Liverpool's offensive sea, land and air three lines can be eaten thoroughly.

On the other hand, Chelsea, Jose Mourinho's team has always been fixed at 433, whether in the Champions League or in the league, the Blues have relied on this set of tactics to eat all over the world, and their moves are relatively fixed, stabilizing the defense, and playing the sharpest counterattack in the shortest time after breaking the ball.

Whether it is rich or a fresh move, no one can say, especially considering that Chelsea has used 433 to a very high level, so at the tactical level, Liverpool and Chelsea can be said to be inferior.

The third point mentions the main lineup.

When it comes to the squad, Chelsea are definitely superior, because even on the bench they have some of Europe's top stars such as Shevchenko and Crespo, and the Blues' entire first-team squad is luxurious to the extreme.

On the other hand, Liverpool, the main squad is relatively young, but after two seasons and the Champions League final, it has matured quickly, although there are no big-name superstars, but many players in the team are very optimistic, and the strength is extraordinary, and the players on the bench are also mainly based on strength and do not pay attention to fame, but the strength is good.

Regardless, Chelsea do have a head ahead in the squad.

According to the Guardian, the combination of these three points gives the two teams a five-to-five chance of winning, but the newspaper also highlighted last season's Champions League final, arguing that after watching that final, everyone who plays against Liverpool will take into account mental factors such as fighting spirit and wanting to win.

That's where Chelsea are weak.

"Jose Mourinho's Blues are invincible in England, killing all English teams, even Manchester United and Arsenal are difficult to handle, except for Liverpool, the tenacious Reds have never let Chelsea get even the slightest bargain after Yang Cheng took over."

'It's not just a contest of quality and tactics but also a battle of mental quality, and Chelsea are at a disadvantage at this point, especially given the fact that as time drags on and the game closes, the mentality of the Blues players will definitely change.

"It's not so easy to get rid of the shadow of five wins by the same team in a season!"

It should be said that this analysis of the Guardian is very close to Mourinho's own strategy

It's hard to say about the shadow, just like Yang Cheng in his previous life, Real Madrid vs. Barcelona, even if the difference in strength between the two teams is not very big, but the shadow and psychological quality determine that Barcelona plays more calmly and confidently than Real Madrid.

Mourinho's strategy is to avoid this situation, so he opened the game, hoping to establish the advantage of the game at the first time, even if he can't score, but also let the players play with momentum, so as to minimize the shadow caused by Liverpool's winless experience in the previous two years.

But as the game deepened, he began to find that Liverpool began to gradually occupy the initiative on the field again. ..., everyone played 433, but in midfield, Liverpool's Carrick dropped back deeply, directly out of Chelsea's midfield control zone, and almost all of them were posted to the backline.

It's a big headache for Chelsea, and if you want to defend him, you have to have a midfielder to go forward, and the protection of the backline will be reduced, and at that point, Liverpool will have more space up front, which Mourinho doesn't want to see, because this group of Liverpool attackers have excellent one-on-one ability.

But allowing Carrick to pass and receive the ball calmly in the midfield position is also not a good thing.

The reason is simple, this guy has a precise mid-length pass, he can help Liverpool control the tempo, as long as the player in front of him runs through the hole, his pass can be accurate to the head of his team-mate.

After seeing Carrick's long pass, he found Drogba with precision, who leaned back to Terry, stopped the ball with his body, turned around and went straight behind Setri, Robben cut in on the right, but Carvalho cleared the ball in time.

Although it didn't work, Liverpool's attacking strategy was evident.

"Can't let Carrick take the ball like this!" Boas reminded with a frown.

Mourinho also knows that one or two times can be stopped, but if there are too many times, the back line will inevitably show holes, and then the problem will be serious.

'Let Frank Lampard go up, hand over to Gallas on the right and let him watch out for that little Ronaldo.' Mourinho had to make adjustments, the defense on the left was not very solid in the first place, and he could not be assured of Del = Orno.

As a result, such a scene was soon seen on the pitch, wherever Carrick ran, Lampard followed, as soon as the England midfielder got the ball, Lampard must be the first to appear around him.

At first, but gradually, Essien and Steven Gerrard also reacted to Carrick, and Liverpool's midfield revolved around Carrick in order to ensure that the ball could be passed to Carrick's feet.

Frank Lampard's move forward, the back three behind him became a double midfielder, and the need to watch a Steven Gerrard who could step forward at any time and at any time made Liverpool's two wings start to open up, especially on the left side of the junior Ronaldo.

“… ・・・Liverpool passes the ball to the left side of Cristiano = Ronaldo gets the ball...... He tried to shake Gallas, but the Frenchman made a precise move, stuck the position early, broke the ball, and the Portuguese fell out entirely......"

'The referee signalled that it was a reasonable clearance, no foul and Chelsea launched a counter-attack......

“… ・・・The ball came to the left side again, and it was still Cristiano = Ronaldo who got the ball, and it looked like he still wanted to go it alone...... It's beautiful, Cristiano = Ronaldo went straight past Gallas・・・・・・ oops, he got straight up, it was too far, the shot was high, didn't he see Drogba inserted in the middle? ”

“…… Cristiano = Ronaldo is clearly a little anxious・・・・・・ he is obviously anxious to make a meritorious contribution or score a goal...... This is certainly not a good sign! ”

"Liverpool got a free kick in front of the field in the 31st minute, which is an area that Cristiano = Ronaldo is very good at, and he stood on the penalty spot ・・・・・・ his feet・・・・・・ oops, ...... high"

"It was Cristiano = Ronaldo's first game after the loss of his father, and it was clear that he wanted to make a contribution and his teammates tried to pass the ball to him as much as possible, but his performance was really average, Gallas defended him well and limited his ・・・・・・"

"Eh, this is another attack by Liverpool, or is it playing on the left side, and it is still Cristiano = Ronaldo with the ball, horizontally...... Using his speed to overtake Gallas and go straight into the box......"

Beep~

I heard the Ball whistle and immediately sounded.

Little Rowe, who had been rolling around on the ground, knelt on the grass, gasping for breath, and he thought it was supposed to be Bol going to give a penalty, because Gallas had just pulled his shirt very hard.

But just as Bol caught up from behind, he raised a yellow card directly towards Xiao Xiaoluo, who fell in the penalty area.

"It's to warn Xiao Xiaoluo to fake fall!" Andy = Gray laughed, and the live TV screen also gave a slow-motion replay, "From the slow motion, it's hard to tell if it's a fake fall or if there is real physical contact, but Xiao Xiao Luo looks dissatisfied." "Didn't you see that he was tugging at my jersey just now?" Xiao Xiao Luo got up from the ground and rushed up after Pol, looking menacing.

"Hey, Cristiano!" Nearby Gerard immediately rushed up and hugged the Portuguese directly, "This is not a wise choice, Cristiano!" ”

"He's tugging at my jersey, bastard!" Xiao Xiaoluo was so angry that he seemed to burst his muscles.

Garas was pointed at by the Portuguese and smiled past him, "You look like a little ghost who only cries and asks for milk from your mother, does anyone believe what you say?" After saying that, he smiled coldly and left.

The Frenchman's current mentality also likes to cause trouble, because he doesn't like to be traded for Mourinho like a panacea, but his work ethic makes him have to give his best, so he likes to vent on his opponents, including cynicism.

"Do you want to eat your fist, Garas?" Gerald turned his head and glared at Garas.

The French, knowing the temper of the English, shrugged their shoulders and walked away.

"Listen, boy!" Gerrard turned his head, held Xiao Xiaoluo's head with both hands, and slapped him twice vigorously to make him sober up, "The boss is very dissatisfied with your performance, you have forgotten what I told you before the game." ”

Xiao Luo Tian is not afraid, he is not afraid of the ground, he is afraid of Yang Cheng, as soon as he heard this, he turned his head sideways, and sure enough, he saw Yang Cheng standing on the sidelines, making a calm gesture at him, looking very dissatisfied.

"Calm down, man, we all know how you feel, but you have to remember that you can only score goals if you are calm, don't fall for those people, you're not alone, right, you still have our teammates!" Gerald put his arm around Little Rowe's shoulder, "Isn't our team song sung?" You'll never go it alone! ”

Xiao Xiaoluo was afraid that Yang Cheng would be angry and directly replace him, he knew that the leader would dare to do this, so after listening to Gerald's words, he couldn't stop nodding.

"That bastard provokes you, you just kill him, once if you don't enjoy it, twice, if you don't do it twice, three times if you don't do it, now the game situation is in our hands, don't be angry with him, think about it, how to kill him!" Gerald said, pointing at Garas.

Little Luo glared at Garas, snorted, and nodded in agreement.

Seeing off Gerrard, Little Rowe walked slowly towards Garas, keeping his eyes fixed on the Frenchman.

"Boy, his eyes are so ruthless, like a lion who wants to eat people・・・・・・" Garas said with a smile, "It's just that he hasn't been weaned, he can't grow teeth, how can he eat people?" Go home and nurse! ”

Xiao Xiao Luo gritted his teeth, "You will definitely die a miserable death!" ”

"We'll see!" Garras gulped a gulp, he didn't like to be threatened like this.

The next time the two made contact, as soon as Xiao Xiaoluo retreated to catch the ball, Gallas caught up from behind, grabbed his feet in advance before he got the ball, and even took the ball and knocked him to the ground.

Everyone clearly saw that Xiao Xiao Luo was knocked to the ground by Garas, no injuries, no fouls, but the whole person was knocked to the ground.

"Fight me? Wait until you're weaned! Garras snorted again and smiled back

"Stand up, Cristiano!"

"Don't be afraid of him, you can defeat him, don't be afraid, stand up!"

"Only the weak will give up!"

"You have to be a strong man, a supreme strong!"

Xiao Xiao Luo fell to the ground, and the moment he was hit just now, his brain was buzzing, as if he heard his father's voice.

When I looked up, I saw the blinding lights on the roof of the Anfield stadium stands.

Turning his head sideways, he saw the head coach he respected the most, Yang Cheng clapped his hands vigorously at him on the sidelines, signaling him not to give up.

This scene, he is very familiar, really familiar!

It's a bit like when he was very young, when he faced that strong opponent, the difference is that it was his father who stood on the sidelines to cheer him on at that time, and now, it is Yang Cheng who brings him encouragement.

"Only the weak will give up!"

Xiao Xiaoluo got up from the ground, immediately accelerated his speed and ran forward, and when he passed in front of Yang Cheng, he turned his head sideways and saw the trust and support on the face of the head coach, just like the trust and support his father gave him back then.

At this moment, the two images overlapped again. ..., he suddenly had the feeling that his father was still looking at him.

He rushed forward, very fast, and straight for Garas.

There was no ball at his feet, nothing, and he just rushed towards Gallas, as if he was going to kill Gallas.

This made the French a little stunned, and wondered, what is this kid going to do?

But just when Xiao Luo was about to get in front of Gallas, he suddenly made a turn and cut directly into the penalty area from the middle of Gallas and Terry.

As Yang Cheng said before, Xiao Xiaoluo's speed is very fast, especially in his short-range bursts and sprints, absolutely no defender can stop it.

So Gallas and Terry didn't pay much attention to seeing him without the ball at their feet before, because Chelsea's defensive focus fell to Liverpool's right side, which is the side where Robben was, but when they saw Little Ronaldo rushing into the box, Gallas was shocked.

I wanted to keep up, but it was too late.

Robben and Xiao Luo have cooperated for two years, and the two have long had enough tacit understanding, as soon as he saw the Portuguese rushing over, he directly passed Del = Orno, and then went down to the bottom line.

The Spaniard tried desperately to chase it back, but Peter Pan scrambled to get him into place with a cross that lobbed into the box.

The ball crossed the front post, crossed the middle and landed directly at the back post.

Both Terry and Carvalho immediately felt threatened, shouting, "Watch out!" ”

Gallas chased Ronaldo into the penalty area, and then he saw the Portuguese leap high, and he wanted to jump along, but he knew very well that the jump was not enough for Ronaldo.

It was a kind of instinct judgment in his career for many years, but he had to react, so he reflexively made another shot and pulled Xiao Xiaoluo's jersey, but he pulled and let go, and did it very secretly.

But the Portuguese jumped high and was pulled on his jersey, and his body immediately lost his balance, and the whole person fell to the ground.

The entire Anfield stadium was in an uproar, and all the Liverpool fans roared like crazy.

"Penalty! Penalty kick!! Penalty kick!!! ”

Tens of thousands of Liverpool fans roared wildly, and the momentum was very intimidating.

"From the slow motion, it was really an obvious tugging of the jersey that constituted a penalty, or even a red card if it was serious, because Gallas was already the last defender at the time, but we're going to see what Bol does!"

Gerrard immediately rushed to Bol outside the penalty area, "Sir, just now my teammate was not a fake fall, but also was pulled on his shirt, but you gave him a yellow card, now this foul is very obvious, I hope you can give us justice." ”

"Fair fart, this is obviously a fake fall, I'm nearby, I can see it clearly!" Terry also caught up to defend himself.

The two captains rightfully defend their teammates.

Bol gestured to the two captains, signaling them to calm down, and then nodded, "Yes, I'm very close, so I can see very clearly!" ”

The referee's words made Terry's heart cold for no reason, and of course he saw clearly what was going on just now.

In fact, this is obvious common sense, if no one pulls him, how can the Portuguese who jumped out of balance and fall to the ground?

Sure enough, Bol walked up, pointed to the penalty and then raised a yellow card towards Gallas.

"Penalty kick plus yellow card, Bol's law enforcement is fair!"

The entire Anfield stadium exploded and the fans chanted the name of Cristiano = Ronaldo.

"It seems that Liverpool fans want the Portuguese to take the penalty!" 1
