Football’s First Defender

It's just that Liverpool, which has always had the advantage on the away game, did not expect that one round would turn the field upside down.

As far as Liverpool is concerned, Chelsea caught it once when Chelsea launched a "siege". It was not a counterattack and achieved great results.

Hazard and Azpilicueta have a 2v2 chance on the left.

Hazard sent a through ball close to the sideline to Azpilicueta. Markovic, who is defending on the right, is still too young. He doesn't want to destroy the ball out of bounds, give Chelsea the ball out of bounds, and want to get the ball out of the baseline.

But Azpilicueta will not let Markovic go as he pleases.

Forcibly accelerated from the outside to overtake, and then used the huge advantage of physical confrontation, Azpilicueta squeezed Markovic's card from the outside. Before the ball went out of the baseline, the ball was regained.

Directly open the way, Markovic's thin body is far worse than Azpilicueta who has been in the Premier League for many years.

Azpilicueta broke directly along the bottom line and broke into the Liverpool penalty area.

After that, under Liverpool's layers of defense, Azpilicueta easily swung the ball to his side.

Following Hazard, within Liverpool's penalty area, after receiving the ball, he directly dialed the ball to change direction and tried to hit the goal. Compared with Hazard's flexibility, Lovren who made up the defense is too cumbersome.

Hazard’s sudden kick made Lovren too late to react. He stretched out his leg to break Hazard’s ball, and instead knocked Hazard directly into the penalty area.

"beep--"

The referee directly stretched out his hand and pointed to the penalty spot, and Liverpool was sentenced to capital punishment.

Hazard was done overnight.

Although Mignolet predicted the direction of the goal, but Hazard's penalty kick was fast enough and angled enough, Mignolet had nothing to do.

After taking the lead, Chelsea further implemented Mourinho's defensive strategy, which also made Liverpool's offense without a great opportunity.

Chelsea's defense is different from the previous fight in the middle.

In the home team's defensive tactics today, there are layers of interceptions in the midfield, but in order to cope with Liverpool's recent penetrating offensive play, Chelsea will not be tough with Liverpool in the midfield when Liverpool is advancing.

Instead, they stepped back and built the strongest line of defense within the big restricted area.

In the game, it is easy to see that Coutinho, Lallana, and Sterling, who has withdrawn from the back, played quite brilliant consecutive kicks.

But when passing constantly and pulling enough space for the ball, at a glance, at least 4 Chelsea blue defenders in the penalty area held their positions and restricted the pass to the penalty area.

In the end, Liverpool still dominated long shots.

Courtois played stable, and some of Liverpool's opening momentum were suppressed by Chelsea.

Chelsea's defensive counterattack is very impressive. Fortunately, it has a defense line of three central defenders. Chelsea's strength in counterattack is not too large. Under Yang Feng's occasional supplementary defense, Chelsea also has no outstanding counterattack opportunities.

In this game, Costa was still directly restricted to death by Yang Feng. Even though Yang Feng would sometimes abandon Costa and go out to make up defenses, Costa could not wait for the chance to catch the ball.

Whenever Yang Feng gives up himself and goes out to make up for defense, he will inevitably complete the clearance as soon as possible, and will not give Chelsea a chance to dribble the ball to Costa.

Costa has been playing very depressed in the game, even in the first half of the frontcourt defense, Costa was whistled a yellow card due to excessive moves, which can be described as extremely depressed.

In the half game, the final frame was 1-0, and Chelsea, who played at home, temporarily took the lead.

Under the situation of falling behind on the road, Rogers can only choose to give it a go, continue to strengthen the team's offensive investment, and give the players more offensive autonomy.

With the two wing guards' more substantial forward assists, the number of Liverpool's offensive players began to increase, and in the face of Chelsea's defense, they can gradually start to play threats.

Although this will make Liverpool's own defense, there will be more holes, and there will be more room to watch in the backcourt, but Liverpool now has to do so.

Fortunately, while Liverpool's offensive regained its advantage, under the coverage of Yang Feng's wide-ranging defense, Chelsea's counterattack, although threatening, did not form a good way to turn into a threat.

Sterling, who played the important role of Liverpool's striker in this game, performed quite well.

Among Chelsea's defensive crowd, he played well with his speed and flexibility advantages.

Especially the tacit pass between him and Coutinho in a small range can always tear apart Chelsea's defense and create offensive space.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, it was Coutinho who suddenly swung the ball across from the left side of the game. Sterling, who received it, shot from a small angle, if it weren't for Courtois's falling speed fast enough, This ball must have penetrated Courtois's wicket and flew into the goal.

And Liverpool's frontcourt pressing, the opportunity to counterattack on the spot, also gave Sterling's attack in the front, providing tremendous support.

Markovic’s long pass transfer after stealing the ball on the right side directly found Sterling in front of the penalty area. Sterling leaned back against Terry for the first time, and Terry was ready to make a force and knock him away. Trin, when the ball was intercepted.

Sterling, a sudden turn around with the ball, directly accelerated, got rid of Kai Terry's defense, and entered Chelsea's penalty area.

Before Cahill's supplementary defense was in place, Sterling volleyed the goal while traveling, which once again tested Courtois.

Courtois, who just managed to squeeze the veteran goalkeeper onto the bench, was too stable to play. It was another side throw, pushing the ball out of the baseline and trying to keep Chelsea's goal.

Sterling is also very speechless. In this game, in terms of shooting, Sterling, who often flies away from the goal, has a shooting accuracy rate far above average today. UU看书www. But Uukanshu.com couldn't get past the opponent's goalkeeper.

Whether his shooting skills are too bad or the Chelsea goalkeeper is too strong, Sterling almost has doubts about himself.

Fortunately, the effort pays off.

No matter how strong Courtois is, he is also a human, not a god. He still cannot build a wall alone in front of the door.

The 64th minute of the game.

Coutinho made a strong pass in the midfield area when it was not a chance. The ball passed the two Chelsea defenders and sent it to Sterling in front.

It's still far from the penalty area, and there are Chelsea players in blue on all sides.

Coutinho's "irresponsible" pass this time plunged Sterling directly into the blue surround.

It's just that the familiarity of teammates with each other lets Coutinho know that this is an excellent opportunity for Sterling to play.

Although surrounded by Chelsea defensive players, it is also a reality that no one defends closely when receiving the ball.

Sterling directly drove the ball to accelerate forward, the Chelsea players reacted and rushed to defend, but found that they could not catch up with Sterling.

The two people on the side were thrown away by Sterling with an acceleration, while Cahill and Ivanovic on both sides of the front were all tall, but inflexible defensive players.

Sterling speeds up instantly, and in the process of dribbling the ball, there is a certain small angle change, so that the two defenses have not formed a close, and Sterling rushed over.

Smashing into the restricted area, facing Courtois in a semi-attack state, Sterling directly pushed the far corner.

This time, the ball finally escaped Courtois' demeanor and rolled into the lower right corner of the goal. 1 to 1!

Sterling helped the team equalize the score............
