The Liverpool vs Chelsea clash is no less impactful than Manchester United's play against AC Milan, but no one can expect a great event.

In the previous 13 games between the two sides, Liverpool only won 4 games, including one in the UK, one in the Champions League, and two FA Cup wins, while Chelsea has only won Liverpool twice in the Cup, and Liverpool has not won in the Champions League, and the other victories have all been in the English arena, in the 13 meetings between the two teams, the maximum score is 4I or in a Champions League group stage that has nothing to do with qualifying, and the vast majority of the other games are a one-goal win over the opponent or an oo draw, the last Champions League semi-finals, Liverpool and Chelsea have only scored one goal in two games.

From the history of the two sides, we know that these two teams played very utilitarian and rational, and both built the game on the basis of not conceding a goal, and it is impossible for them to play passionately in such an important Champions League semi-final.

The match between Liverpool and Chelsea was not pretty, but the pre-match war of words was absolutely exciting, even on the day of the game, in front of Benitez in the hotel, Mourinho was still attacking Benitez personally.

"I haven't won the British title for three years, and if it were me, I don't think I would be in the top position. Liverpool are a good team in the knockout rounds and we praise them for that. But if you're only playing one or two games in half a season, it seems too laid-back, and we're going to play four or five events, and we've reached the semi-finals in every event, and if Liverpool are like us, I'll admit that Liverpool are the real cup masters. ”

If someone else is attacked like this, it is probably going to be a case, but Benitez has long been used to Mourinho's attack, his ears are calloused, and he has enough immunity, to which he just said: "For me, the only good thing is to play the second leg at Anfield, we know the atmosphere there is really good, everyone says we are the favourites, they are tired, we don't play as much as theirs." I don't know anyone who is interested in suing everybody for all these things, probably somebody from another team. We have confidence, but we know we're playing against a very good team and I know we're going to have the last laugh. ”

Benitez's words did not put sharpness on the surface, but the counterattack was also very sharp, but against a psychological warfare master like Mourinho, Benitez's counterattack was difficult to have any effect.

Perhaps Benitez also does not intend to have any impact on Mourinho and Chelsea in the war of words, after all, their psychological advantage in the Champions League is obvious, as long as they can beat their opponents in the Champions League, it is nothing to be taken advantage of by their opponents in the war of words before the game.

The war of words in the morning and the game started in the evening, obviously, Mourinho's war of words did not have much impact on Benitez, Benitez's lineup was regular, neither taking the 451 formation when the Champions League eliminated Barcelona, nor the 43 when the league played against Chelsea, but playing England's most popular and most balanced offensive and defensive 44 formation.

goalkeeper 25 - Reina; Four-back Finnen, Carragher, Ager, Reese; 8 Gerrard, 14-Alonso, -Mascherano, -Zenden; Chen Yu, 15-Crouch

In this lineup, the only unexpected position is the position of left midfielder, not Pennant and Bellamy, who are very fast, nor Garcia, who is more technically better, but the experienced Cenden, the change in this position can clearly see Benitez's tactical intentions, that is, Benitez does not think that Chelsea will attack vigorously at home, so there are not many opportunities to counterattack, and the striker is not without a degree of speed, Chen Yu is a fast horse, so it is mainly stable.

Chelsea's formation is their best 43 goalkeeper I, Petr Cech; Four defenders 2o - Ferreira, Carvalho, - Terry, 3 Ashley. Cole; Three midfielders: 4 Makelele, Mikel, 8 Lampard; Three forwards: Shevchenko, 1o-Joe. Cole, 11 Drogba.

This is not Chelsea's strongest squad, this squad is missing world-class winger Peter Robben, and world-class midfielders Michael Ballack and Essien, and it can be said that the current squad is only two-thirds of Chelsea's real strength.

But even so, the current squad is absolutely world-class, enough to be as long as all the giants in world football, which is why Chelsea is terrible, that is, they also have the world's top players sitting on the bench, and other giants once they have injury problems, the substitutes are one or half a grade worse than the main team.

Although the game can't be very good-looking, but after all, it is the Champions League semi-finals, the influence is huge, and the two teams have too many grievances, for Chelsea and Liverpool fans, victory is the most important, even the only goal, even if it is to shrink the defense to win the game, the fans will not be less joyful, there are not many fans who come to watch the game, the stands at Stamford Bridge have long been full, and there are many fans outside the stadium who expect to be able to wait for a refund.

On the lower floor of the east stand at Stamford Bridge, the Chinese fans were particularly eye-catching, with about 500 Chinese fans wearing Liverpool's No. 9 shirt and holding a five-star red flag chanting Chen Yu's name from the beginning, and their exotic tone and enthusiasm not inferior to that of the home team became a sight on the pitch.

In the VIP box, the owners of Liverpool and Chelsea were also present in person.

Abu has an eccentric temperament, he doesn't like to watch games with other people, staying alone in a box while Liverpool's chairman Gillette sits with Chelsea's CPO Kenyon.

In the commentary seats, the commentators of more than a dozen countries were busy introducing the list of the game and some pre-match highlights to their national fans in front of the television, until the players walked out of the dressing room under the leadership of the referee German Merck, they stopped for a while, because the fans were too loud to hear what they were saying.

After the two teams took a group photo, the captains of the two sides began to exchange team flags and team emblems, Gerrard and Terry are teammates of the national team, the relationship is not good or bad, at least there is no contradiction, but on such an occasion, the two did not have any communication, just shook hands according to the usual etiquette.

After picking the side, referee Merck quickly blew the whistle for the start of the first half, and Liverpool kicked off first.

The voices in the stands were not as frenetic as when the players came out, and the commentators were once again adding to the players and their positional play.

The Chinese commentator is still from CCTV's He Poet, He Poet is not a commentator, but his knowledge reserve is not bad, and he knows the history, records, and grievances of Chelsea and Liverpool well, and he doesn't even need to read the information.

This is the 14th game between the two sides, the previous 13 games, Chelsea is the upper hand, six wins, three draws and four losses, but in the Champions League, Chelsea is at a disadvantage, although Liverpool only won Chelsea once, but in the semi-finals of the O4O5 season, Liverpool stepped on Chelsea's "corpse" to finally win the championship, and the other time last season, the two teams met in the group stage, and it was the Reds who squeezed the Blues into second place, making them meet the strongest Barcelona prematurely, and finally eliminated. This time the two teams met again in the semi-finals, whether Liverpool will continue to be Chelsea's bitter master, or Chelsea will complete revenge and step on Liverpool's corpse to reach the final, please watch the game carefully......"

England's commentator was also commenting on the game, but he didn't look back too much on the history, mainly talking about his views on the line-ups of both sides.

“…… The battle for the Golden Boy at Old Trafford is over for the time being, and the battle for the "Golden Finger" is about to begin. Like Cristiano Ronaldo's fight for Kaka, the style of Mourinho and Rafael Benitez was the focus of today's game. Coincidentally, the two took the European championship honor to 6 in the same period, Mourinho won the Champions Cup, Benitez won the League Cup, also coached the British giants, also won the championship honor, and even the two divided the championship trophy very evenly, Mourinho won the league and League Cup, Benitez led Liverpool to win the European Champions Cup and FA Cup, and the two teams in the Community Shield once at a time. Maybe it's fate, two teams, two managers are destined to fight to the death, but I think it's right for the two teams to meet in the semi-finals, because if they play in the final, then the fans all over the world will be disappointed by the dead end of the Champions League final...... Undoubtedly, Drogba is Chelsea's most dangerous player, and his impact will be the most headache for Liverpool's backline, but Liverpool must not think that Chelsea can only threaten their goal only the monster Drogba, in fact, in the process of Chelsea's six defeats to Liverpool, Joe Cole completed three strikes, which is a greater threat than Drogba to Liverpool, if Liverpool takes Joe Cole lightly, they may suffer today...... Liverpool's most dangerous player is, of course, Chen Yu, as long as Chelsea looks at Chen Yu, they are very likely to guarantee not to lose, but Chen Yu is too versatile, there are no obvious shortcomings at all, if Essien is here, he may still be able to limit Chen Yu's swing, now no one in Chelsea's squad can keep up with Chen Yu's footsteps, but Crouch should not be underestimated, his header is likely to create some opportunities for Chen Yu, it depends on Terry's marking of him......"

Liverpool played solid from the start of the game, with the ball being passed back to their goalkeeper Reina waiting for the Chelsea players to press on.

Chelsea are not in a hurry, the three forwards are not fast, the three lines are layered, rhythmically pressed forward, and there is no flaw in the sale to Liverpool.

When Chelsea's three strikers pressed and the ball was passed to the feet of Liverpool goalkeeper Reina again, Reina did not dare to be careless and drove directly to Chelsea's half.

Reina had enough tee time, and he didn't drive blindly, and directly looked for Crouch, who was at the front of his side, and asked Crouch to fight for a header for Chen Yuchuang to shoot.

Crouch is under Terry's defense, although Crouch is very tall, but Terry is much stronger than Crouch, and his header is also very good, Crouch wants to win the ball, or it is basically very difficult to enter the penalty area, but if Crouch is not ready to take the ball, but to ferry to his teammates, then his chances are still great, and Terry can't make up for the height gap no matter how strong he is.

However, after Reina's ball passed, they realized, Crouch's height basically did not work in front of Terry, even if Crouch stood in position, as long as Terry stuck the position, Crouch couldn't stand, and if Terry stuck the position, Crouch couldn't squeeze through it at all.

Reina's header was snatched by Terry, who actually pushed Crouch forward with the ball.

Mikel's header was ferried to Lampard, Lampard tried to dribble forward, but Liverpool put a lot of effort into the midfield defense today, they knew that Lampard's long-range shot was powerful, and they didn't give Lampard a chance to score into the 30-metre area, Mascherano and Alonso were sandwiched, and Lampard, who was not good at breaking through, had to split the ball to the side, find his winger Shevchenko, and let Shevchenko break through from the wing.

Shevchenko is the only central striker in Milan and has a free position, but at Chelsea, the only person who stands in the center forward position is Drogba, and Shevchenko can only play as a wing-back.

If it is Shevchenko during the Milan period, then it doesn't matter to him on the side and in the middle, he has a degree and skills, but now Shevchenko's explosive power is gone, and the degree is almost meaningless, so it is difficult for Shevchenko to take advantage of Liverpool in front of a tough defense.

Finnan defended Shevchenko on the flank with retreating midfielder Cenden, who tried to break through but was squeezed out of position by Finnan, and the substitute Mascherano quickly stole the ball.

Liverpool had played so many games against Chelsea and knew how to win the game, so Mascherano distributed the ball to Zenden, who played a long ball straight up front to find his team-mate Crouch.

Zenden's pass was good, the ball was found at Crouch's point, Crouch missed the ball again under Terry's squeeze, but Terry's header did not reach the position, and directly pushed the ball to Gerrard's side.

Steven Gerrard was focused today, as he took the ball and turned as fast as he could, quickly down the flank towards Chelsea's line.

Chelsea left-back Ashley Cole is familiar with Gerrard, and he is also a master of the arts, he went straight to Gerrard, both of whom seemed to have a deep egg for the opponent, Gerrard did not reach the bottom line and passed directly from the side of the penalty area, looking for Chen Yu and Crouch who were outflanked in the middle.

Gerrard looked at the previous two aerial balls to find Crouch, that is, Crouch did not have any advantage in front of Terry, so Gerrard chose the boccia ball, so that Crouch and Chen Yu could find opportunities to shoot.

Chelsea's centre-back pairing was John Terry and Carvalho, and before the game there were many fears that Carvalho would not be able to play because Carvalho had a cold, but Carvalho held on and played.

Terry and Carvalho's cooperation is very good, one of the two stepped forward to disturb the point player, one person went over to grab the point to clear, the cooperation of the two was orderly, although Liverpool grabbed the point is also two players, but they were not able to grab Terry, Terry's bold tackle to shovel the ball off the bottom line, giving Liverpool a chance to take a corner

The corner was taken by Alonso.

In such a strong dialogue, the two sides are so familiar that they don't give their opponents many chances at all, and set-pieces are often the best time to break the deadlock.

Liverpool were able to steal the attacking players and Chelsea all came back to defend, this time using Didier Drogba to mark Crouch and John Terry to defend Chen.

This was arranged by Mourinho before the game, and he also knew very well how difficult Liverpool was, so he did an extremely meticulous job in the arrangement of set-pieces, deliberately letting Drogba use his strength to beat Crouch, and letting Terry use his height to deal with Chen Yu.

There are so many players in the penalty area, no matter how flexible Chen Yu is, no matter how fast he is, it is difficult to play much of a role, and at this time, he still relies on height to suppress.

Chen Yu has played with Chelsea more than once, he has scored more than once, he knows very well how strong Chelsea's defense is, it is impossible for Chelsea to play a long-distance run, Mourinho will never allow anyone to treat his team like this, if Chen Yu dares to do this, he will definitely be greeted with a lethal foul.

So Chen Yu is not ready to play any tricks at all, the player he binds is the king of the small penalty area Fanny, Fanny's consciousness may not be the best, but it is the most practical to deal with Chelsea, and Chen Yu's height is not as good as Fanny, but his reaction, strength, degree, and explosiveness are not inferior to Fanny, with Fanny's awareness, Chen Yu believes that as long as there is an opportunity, he will be able to grasp it.

Alonso's pass is looking for Crouch, Alonso has no way to find others, there are many players in the penalty area, even with Alonso's passing ability, it is difficult to pass so accurately, and Crouch stands out in the crowd, it is best to find, and if the arc kicks a little higher, Crouch will definitely not be disturbed much, and the possibility of grabbing the landing point is still very large.

Alonso's pass was very accurate, and Crouch was ready to jump the moment Alonso passed, but Drogba was too strong and very flexible, he just pressed Crouch with his arm, and Crouch couldn't jump, and could only watch Drogba jump up and grab points.

Drogba must be difficult to grab this landing point, Alonso gave this arc is very high, and it is not Drogba who is looking for Drogba, Drogba does not have such a good jump, he just jumps up to disturb other players to grab points.

Chelsea had the upper hand at the point of Drogba and Crouch, but suffered at the point of Chen Yu and Terry, when the ball was passed, Chen Yu and Terry competed for strength, Terry pulled Chen Yu with his arm, and Chen Yu took advantage of the situation to hit Terry hard with his shoulder, and then jumped up.

Terry was hit in the chest by Chen Yu, and he couldn't breathe, and he couldn't even say words of protest, so he could only watch Chen Yu jump up with his head.
