Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid - Chapter 384

c377 After this level, it will be smooth sailing.

Paris’s somewhat aggrieved elimination has also sounded a wake-up call to other European teams.

Chelsea only needs to score one goal in two rounds to suffocate the top Champions League team. This defensive skill is still amazing.

And the result of Paris’s attack at Stamford Bridge in the second round but still no results has once again made fans see the terrifying advantage of Chelsea’s home field.

It has been three seasons since a team has conquered Chelsea’s home field.

This exaggerated unbeaten record is like a silent message to all Chelsea challengers:

If you want to decide the outcome with Chelsea, you must try to get the lead in their own home field, otherwise when they arrive at Stamford Bridge, they will only be greeted by a ruthless defeat!

For Chelsea players, the fact that they continue their unbeaten record at home can give them more psychological advantages.

After successfully defeating Paris Saint-Germain and entering the quarterfinals of this season’s Champions League, Li Ang organized a big dinner for his teammates.

And this time there are fewer media gossiping.

Often scolded by fans, these media are not brainless. This time, at least they will not speak out until Chelsea loses.

In the near future, their most likely chance to turn things around is to expect Liverpool to give Chelsea a head-on blow in the league.

If Chelsea meets Liverpool’s challenge at home, these media dare not have too much expectation.

But Liverpool will face Chelsea at Anfield in the next round of the league, and the situation will be different.

Klopp failed to lead Liverpool directly into the top four of the Premier League this season, but there is no doubt that the fighting power of Liverpool under his command is indeed much “stronger” than the previous season.

That is a kind of mental tenacity and bravery.

Maybe in terms of strength, the gap between Liverpool and Chelsea and Manchester City is still relatively large, but their spiritual construction has obviously kept up with the pace of strong teams.

What Liverpool lacks now is the stability of performance, but their ability to fight hard battles at Anfield is not bad at all.

Chelsea’s coaching staff is also well aware of this, so before the game with Liverpool, the entire Chelsea team also completed targeted preparation training.

Let alone other Liverpool players, it will be difficult for Coutinho to play well against Chelsea in this round of the league.

As for the crazy running tactics that Liverpool is playing now, the whole Chelsea team is not too worried, after all, this set of tactics is also familiar to Chelsea.

Chelsea can play all the tactics that Liverpool can play, but Liverpool can’t play the tactics that Chelsea can play.

To put it bluntly, the current Liverpool is just a beggar version of Chelsea without superstars, and Chelsea still has a great chance of winning against them.

On the fifth day after the battle with Paris Saint-Germain, the whole Chelsea team went to the away game to start the 30th round of the Premier League against Liverpool.

At this stage, Chelsea and Liverpool, who are not dragged down by the domestic cup competition in England, have more sufficient rest time.

So in this round of the league, Liverpool still chose to play with all the main players against Chelsea, and they also put out the strongest 433 starting formation at Anfield.

After Sterling and Suarez left Liverpool one after another, Coutinho and Firmino quickly took over, and now the two have become the new darlings of Anfield.

Under Klopp’s correct use and tactical training, the personal data of the two have also maintained a smooth growth.

Now Firmino’s Premier League data is 10 goals and 6 assists, while Coutinho’s Premier League data this season is 10 goals and 5 assists.

The new striker duo composed of the two has also reliably completed their scoring tasks this season.

It’s a pity that Sturridge has been in a state of injury and stop, but even so, he has scored 7 goals in 12 appearances, and his scoring efficiency is extremely high.

This also makes more neutral fans feel sorry for Sturridge.

If he has a healthy body, not only Liverpool can harvest a strong new striker trident combination, but the England national team will also have Kane + Sturridge’s all-around striker group.

It’s a pity that such an excellent striker who should have been killing all around at his peak has been struggling with injuries.

In this round of the league, Sturridge was absent again due to injury, and Klopp could only push Lallana to the front line.

This is also the strongest offensive trio he can take out now.

In contrast, Klopp still envied Chelsea’s forward line after rotation.

Hazard + Llorente + Salah.

Chelsea’s forward trident after rotation is still capable of breaking through any defense in the Premier League.

On the Chelsea bench, Gnabry and De Bruyne, who was rested today, were still on standby.

Klopp looked at Chelsea’s bench, and then looked at Benteke, whose eyes revealed clear stupidity, on his own bench, and finally shook his head helplessly…

The game started on time at 3 pm. Chelsea, who kicked off first, did not rush to put pressure on Liverpool’s defense, but first controlled the field and seduced Liverpool’s midfielders to attack and press.

However, the tactical execution of the entire Liverpool team is much stronger than before.

Without Klopp’s nod, no Liverpool midfielder dared to break the tactical plan made by the coaching staff before the game.

Faced with Chelsea’s midfielder’s constant ball control and temptation, the entire Liverpool team remained unmoved. The two teams were cautious in their offensive and defensive probing. Li Ang quickly changed his organizational thinking when he saw this.

After the first 10 minutes of the game, Li Ang and Kroos transferred more ball rights to the two wings.

Salah, who started on the right side today, prefers to take the ball and attack the bottom compared to De Bruyne. He and Hazard have maximized Chelsea’s breakthrough ability on both wings today.

Without some wing organization and support, Chelsea’s offense seems not delicate enough, but the two wingers’ more direct breakthrough kicking style can also put more pressure on Liverpool’s defense.

Seeing that Hazard and Salah both performed normally, Li Ang generously gave up the offensive ball rights, allowing them to take the ball and break through more to find the feeling.

With him and Kroos organizing and transferring the ball rights in the midfield, Hazard and Salah don’t have to worry about not having enough balls to play.

It was just right for them to share the ball at this time. Llorente, who served as the fulcrum in the middle, could play without the ball, and the other players of the team could also serve them.

After feeding enough ball possession, Chelsea’s two wingers were very aggressive in attack, and Liverpool’s defense line was shrinking again and again.

They had to shrink their formation at this time. Moreno and Klein were only good full-backs in the Premier League, but they were far from the top.

After shrinking the formation, Liverpool could at least further concentrate its defensive forces to consolidate the central defense line. If they had to head hard, then it would not be as simple as losing the wing.

Klopp’s tactical decision of cutting off his arm was still very effective. Hazard and Salah had more successes in going down the bottom, but their way of completing threatening passes was basically to cross the middle.

Liverpool, which had consolidated its central defense line, still had no major problems in air defense. Although Llorente had a great advantage in high-altitude headers, Lovren and Toure’s double-team defense was also very tough.

Llorente didn’t have much space to rush forward, and in the static header, he could only be defeated by the double-team defense.

After resisting Chelsea’s first wave of offensive, Liverpool relied on the active fighting of the players in the middle to grab several good counterattack opportunities.

Liverpool did not have a striker with outstanding speed, but their quick counterattacks relied more on one pass and the overall off-ball running system.

Milner served as a transit station for counterattacks in the middle, Firmino played his fulcrum role well, and Coutinho and Lallana helped each other to tie up Chelsea’s defensive forces.

Their counterattacks were very layered, and after a set of passes, they often got a chance to shoot in Chelsea’s defensive third zone.

That is, Li Ang did enough homework in advance and watched Firmino very closely in the counterattack, otherwise this ghostly Brazilian striker might really seize the opportunity to threaten Chelsea’s goal.

As for Coutinho, this striker who often plays super dribbling shots was even more understood by Chelsea’s backcourt defenders.

He was forced to handle the ball with his left foot, and he was not given any chance to shoot with his right foot. After several defensive attacks, Curinho had no greater threat except passing the ball in the counterattack.

The two teams played back and forth in the first half of the game, and the game rhythm was also very fast, which looked quite exciting.

However, after understanding Liverpool’s defensive methods, Mourinho decisively made tactical adjustments in advance, signaling Leon to join the attack from behind!

Llorente was uncomfortable with double-teaming before, but his height and weight advantages were huge for Toure and Lovren.

It might be difficult for him to complete the header under the double-teaming defense of these two people, but it was easy for him to withstand the defensive pressure and make the ball.

Mourinho asked Leon to join the attack from behind to further release Llorente’s fulcrum role.

This tactical adjustment immediately further revitalized Chelsea’s offensive system.

Hazard and Salah do not need to make major changes in their playing style. They can still easily kick the ball from the bottom of Liverpool’s two wings. It’s just that the responsibility of ending the attack has been transferred from Llorente to Leon.

Liverpool’s heavy defensive troops in the penalty area have become a decoration. Leon’s heavy artillery attack from behind is very threatening. If you want to stop him, you must expand the defense line.

Klopp did not hesitate for too long. He had no choice but to let the offensive players in front retreat to assist his teammates in defense.

However, when they retreated, Kroos and Matic directly pressed on the top of the arc in their half circle to organize the pass!

Chelsea’s backcourt players also pressed forward directly.

The task of going down to the bottom can be handed over to the two full-backs. Hazard and Salah can now move more in the ribs on both sides of Liverpool.

Mourinho’s series of tactical changes immediately made the entire Liverpool team breathless.

Chelsea’s offensive wave continued without stopping, which forced them to always pay attention to defense and not make any defensive mistakes.

But there are very few teams in today’s football world that can do this on the defensive end, and Liverpool is not among such top defensive teams anyway.

And to put it bluntly, if you let Lovren fight with the opponent’s center forward on the front line and let him charge into battle, he is very suitable.

But if you let him be a defensive commander and keep his head clear and make fewer mistakes at all times, isn’t this making it difficult for him!

Toure’s personal ability was very strong in his peak period, but he is now 35 years old and has rich defensive experience, but his upper limit of ability has long since dropped.

No matter how strong Klopp is at coaching defense, relying on these two central defenders to lead the team into the top six in the Premier League is the limit.

If they can withstand Chelsea’s full attack, then Liverpool will now have at least one place in the top four of the Premier League.

A hard cap is unrealistic, the upper limit of their capabilities has been reached, and Liverpool cannot last long behind the expanded defense.

In the 30th minute of the first half, Li Ang’s explosive shot from the edge of Liverpool’s penalty area made Mignolet free.

In the chaos, Hazard passed the ball to the back of the Liverpool goal. Salah, who hit the horse, made a decisive low shot and successfully sent the football into the Liverpool goal!

Li Ang patted his head and pointed at Salah, who was running excitedly:

“You are catching Liverpool scoring goals now, aren’t you?!”

If Li Ang remembers correctly, Salah has scored goals against Liverpool in several consecutive rounds!

This fact is too funny for Li Ang. Salah has become a veritable Liverpool killer?

This tmd…

However, complaints are complaints, and celebrations should be celebrated happily.

After breaking through Liverpool’s goal first, the second half of the game was much simpler for the Chelsea team.

First, he withstood Liverpool’s counterattack with ease and maintained the 1-0 score until the halftime break.

At the beginning of the second half, Chelsea launched their most familiar defensive counterattack.

Liverpool did try their best on the offensive end. They kept trying to find ways to pass the ball forward throughout the second half, but lacking more offensive backers, they really didn’t have much to do against Chelsea’s iron barrel formation.

When Klopp replaced Benteke in the second half, Mourinho also directly replaced Gary Cahill.

As a result, Benteke’s advantage in fighting for the top disappeared directly in front of Maguire and Gary Cahill.

In the 76th minute of the second half, Li Ang seized the opportunity of Coutinho’s passing error and sent a counterattack long pass. Llorente’s header helped Hazard directly get a single chance!

The King of Belgium did not hesitate to face his national team teammates. A decisive shot made Liverpool lose the last hope of equalizing.

And Chelsea finally took away a 2-0 victory from Anfield!

After the game, Li Ang encouraged the slightly frustrated Firmino and Coutinho and cheered them on, wishing them to make it to the end in this year’s Europa League.

His blessing made Liverpool’s two young strikers feel a lot better.

After all, he is a well-known “famous speaker” in European football. If Liverpool can really win the Europa League this year, then they cannot be considered a failure in any case.

A European championship plus qualification for next season’s Champions League, no matter how you calculate it, they are both very profitable!

Li Ang was not completely off the mark, after all, he remembered that Liverpool had a chance to win the Europa League at the beginning of their rise.

Having reached the final, there is not much difference in strength between them and their opponents. With his butterfly effect, Liverpool may really reach the top of the Europa League this year.

Compared to other teams, if there is no conflict of interest, Li Ang will of course support Liverpool more.

The blessing he expressed towards Liverpool after the game also instantly gained the favor of the vast majority of Liverpool fans.

After the 30th round of the Premier League between Chelsea and Liverpool ended, the football world also ushered in another wave of public opinion carnival.

It has nothing to do with the progress of national leagues. This wave of public opinion carnival comes only because of the end of the Champions League quarter-final draw ceremony.

This year’s Champions League knockout round is full of gold, and among the teams that made it to the final eight, only Benfica can be considered a “big gift package.”

The remaining seven teams are Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid from La Liga, Chelsea and Manchester City from the Premier League, Bayern Munich from the Bundesliga and Juventus from Serie A.

Almost every draw will be a strong dialogue.

And when the old enemies Chelsea and Bayern Munich were drawn to face off again, the fans’ discussion carnival officially arrived!

Li Ang is actually quite satisfied with the result of this draw.

Among the teams that have made it to the last eight of the Champions League this year, the only one with a similar strength to Chelsea is Bayern Munich!

Atletico Madrid’s defensive system cannot cause Chelsea too much trouble. After two rounds of matches with Real Madrid, Chelsea is relatively confident of defeating the former Champions League hegemon.

Juventus lost Tevez and Pirlo in the summer window last year, and their offensive strength has dropped sharply. They don’t seem to be afraid for the time being.

Only Bayern Munich and the Nandawang, who have continued to strengthen, are still the team that poses the greatest threat to Chelsea.

So instead of going all the way to the final against a fully evolved Bayern team, Li Ang felt it was better to kill it now!

After this battle, everything will be smooth!
