599 The ideal is very plump, the reality is very skinny
The overall pace of the Stamford Bridge battle was obviously slower after the game began.
Liverpool's condition is clear at a glance. Players show less keenness and agility in passing, receiving and controlling the ball, and it is also a bit difficult to accelerate the start. The consequence is that the pass error rate increases, the breakthrough success rate has dropped significantly, and there are only a few threats that can be created.
Chelsea's side is defending stably in the midfield and backcourt, and exerting local strength in the midfield and frontcourt.
With a breakthrough on the wing with Hazard and Oscar as the main ones, and William's breakthrough, Etoo is looking for opportunities.
Hazard is most likely to win if he is forced to take Flanagan, so Liverpool needs Henderson to assist in the defense to ensure that there is no big mess in the defense line. Liverpool, which seems to be playing a three-middle defensive formation, is actually not so strict in the defensive formation, because Henderson and Eriksen have to assist in the defense against the wing, and the gap left in the middle will be relatively large.
Fortunately, Chelsea's single-soldiers' style of progress is also very average, and the game is in a stalemate. No one can do anything to the opponent, and no one will take the initiative to speed up. Liverpool cannot move, and Chelsea is cautious.
The coaches of the two teams command the game on the sidelines only remind the players not to lose positions in defense.
Or remind players to cheer up and become tough after failing in a fight.
The cheering of Stamford Bridge was deafening, but the players on the court failed to bring fans a thrilling battle, which was more intense and less exciting.
The FA "preferred" Liverpool in the Champions League group stage in terms of schedule, but it was very unfriendly to Liverpool during the Devil's schedule. It must be well known before the schedule of visits to Manchester City and Liverpool. This is probably to balance the demands of other giants, so as not to give people a handle to privately teach Liverpool.
In the two visiting battles within 48 hours, Liverpool could only choose one of them. Situ Yunbing chose the former, so he obediently went to play a defensive counterattack when he came to Stamford Bridge Stadium. He thought that even if he had high requirements for his team and pursued further, he could not ignore the serious consequences of really using the team in this festive atmosphere.
They are players, fighters, but before that, they were still humans.
Today, Suarez's condition is better than Garez Bale. Players like Garez Bale who rely on speed and physical condition to make a living, or to play a stable level, will have a greater proportion of physical condition. Today's performance is a bit unimpressive.
For the first time in a year and a half, I saw him struggling so hard during the game. Even when no one pressed in close contact, it seemed like he was fighting against something when he was holding the ball, which made people feel very different.
Suarez feels better when passing and receiving the ball, after all, he has stronger technical ability, but when his teammates perform poorly, he seems to be alone.
Chelsea's most threatening first half was Hazard, but the threat created by Hazard outside the penalty area was not enough to penetrate Liverpool's goal, but it always ended in vain. The defense line formed by Van Dijk and Benatia was still very outstanding today.
At the end of the dull first half, Situ Yunbing walked into the player channel with great worries.
After returning to the locker room, he decided to make a substitution. Instead of leaving Gareth Bale to struggle on the court, it would be better to replace Sterling to try his luck.
That's right, if you replace Sterling with this level of battle, it's a chance. If Situ Yunbing wants to put his hope on him, how helpless and desperate it would be?
After halftime break, Liverpool took the lead in making a substitution at the beginning of the second half.
After Sterling appeared, she did perform much better than Gareth Bale. She broke through, cut in, responded, and crossed in several counterattacks, but Suarez still found it difficult to connect and interact with him under tight control.
Chelsea still insisted on playing in the first half, and the effect was still average.
Situ Yunbing and Mourinho were both paced on the sidelines. When the two accidentally walked to the command area and approached the nearest edge of each other, they suddenly looked at each other, showing a somewhat helpless look.
Liverpool is a body that is exhausted and has no power to kill the thief!
Chelsea drags its old body and stubborn soul, with full ideals, but faces the skinny reality.
When the game time passed by minute by minute and neither team created any threat, fans also thought that the game was likely to end harmoniously. In the 80th minute of the game, Hazard broke through the bottom left side of the frontcourt and turned into a cross-cutting track. Flanagan and Henderson surrounded him and intercepted him. Hazard, who had just entered the penalty area, suddenly shifted the ball and turned toward the outside of the penalty area. Henderson's legs were stretched out and pressed him without touching the ball, and Hazard fell heavily in the penalty area.
Henderson angrily scolded Hazard for pretending to fall, but the referee had already pointed his finger at the penalty.
Situ Yunbing frowned with some headache.
This penalty is really not the time, it's too late!
It depends on whether Chelsea can score.
Veteran Lampard took the penalty and scored a penalty, but Ter Stegen saved the game in the wrong direction!
The moment the football flew into Liverpool's goal, the deafening cheers suddenly sounded!
The Blues fans were particularly excited.
"Hazar made a point, Lampard scored a goal! There was finally a goal in this dull game, and the home team Chelsea is now leading Liverpool!
Will Liverpool, who is unbeaten in the 18-round league this season, be broken today?
There is not much time left for Liverpool to equalize the score!"
Situ Yunbing used two substitutions at one time, Vardy and Coutinho made their debut, trying their best to make a last try!
Mourinho also substitutes, strengthening defense, defense, and defense!
The pace of the game began to accelerate due to the changes in the score, but Liverpool's counterattack was a bit ugly, and the success rate of passing and receiving was still not high. Chelsea almost gave up the counterattack and defended with all their strength!
It's Mourinho's style.
If you give him a chance to seize 3 points, he will suppress everything and turn victory into reality.
In the end, Liverpool failed to rewrite the score and achieved the second defeat of the season, which was also the first defeat in the Premier League!
At the end of the game, there were fanatical cheers sounded from Stamford Bridge!
Regardless of whether Mourinho's performance is good or bad after his return, at least he led the team to defeat Liverpool, which is enough to make Chelsea fans ecstatic!
Situ Yunbing still took the initiative to find Mourinho to shake hands after the game with a graceful look.
After shaking hands, the two of them exchanged a few simple words and then left.
In an interview after the game, Situ Yunbing was very calm and restrained in the face of this defeat.
"To be honest, Liverpool did not perform well today, but I will not delve into this game. Objective factors determine that it is indeed difficult for us to perform better today. The team needs to rest. We will rotate in the next round of the league. If Liverpool fans are depressed because they failed to win these two league games, please accept my apology. I also hope that every Liverpool person can have a happy Christmas.
We will regroup as soon as possible and get back on the track of victory.”
Mourinho was also very calm about his victory performance in an interview after the game.
"Although we won the game, we were still behind Liverpool by 8 points, which is a big gap, but the good news is that we chased 5 points in two rounds of the league. This victory will bring some motivation and morale to the team, but we are still facing a difficult season."
In the same round of the league, Manchester United, Manchester City and Arsenal all won. In other words, among the traditional Premier League giants, only Liverpool lost away, and other strong teams scored 3 points!
The Premier League half-time league ended, and Liverpool's half-time ended imperfectly, but it was still the leader in the standings.
Liverpool, 48 points.
Chelsea, 40 points.
Manchester City, 39 points.
Arsenal, 39 points.
......
The Devil's schedule is not over yet, and there are three days off. Liverpool will face Hull City on New Year's Day.
The ticket to Situ Yunbing by the FA was announced on the morning of the 29th and faxed to the Liverpool Club.
A fine of 30,000 pounds and a ban on the game at the same time.
The second half of the league started in full swing. On January 1, 2014, Liverpool played against Hull City at home.
Situ Yunbing appeared in the box to watch the game. Before the game, Liverpool fans showed dense slogans in the stands to support him.
The most eye-catching line of words is "You never need to apologize, we love you!"
As the head coach, Situ Yunbing looked down at the stadium in the private room, looking forward to his disciples being able to bring a victory to the team against the background of two rounds of unwinding.
Liverpool took a rotation today.
Coutinho, Valdy, and Sterling formed the trident.
Henderson, Casemiro and Erikson form the midfielder.
Azpilicueta has released the ban and returned, and Coolibali and Scotter formed a double gate in the back line, and Robertson continued to play.
Reiner guards the gate.
Hull City swept Fulham 6-0 at home in the last round and was in a very brave state, which may give them an illusion that they would come to Anfield Stadium to challenge Liverpool, who has no coach command, to go down!
As a result, their active and unrestrained style of play was ruthlessly destroyed in front of Liverpool!
If Hull City plays a defensive counterattack, Liverpool may be really worried, but Liverpool will definitely be happy to attack with the opponent, but Liverpool will definitely like to hear about it.
Vardy and Sterling all have a place to use, and Coutinho and Eriksen also have room to play.
Liverpool quickly scored two goals in the first half with the Thunder. Valdi and Coutinho each made a contribution. When Hull came to his senses, there was almost no suspense in the game.
In the second half, Hull City suddenly launched a counterattack and failed to break through Liverpool's goal, although they did put a lot of pressure on Liverpool and created danger.
Sterling staged a specialty of running away from Huanglong.
Chapter completed!
