Chapter 285 Who can stop Liverpool

"Yang header!! Ohhh!! Beautiful!!"

"The ball goes in! The ball goes in!!"

"Chelsea's intensive defense failed in less than fifteen minutes. Sunshine scored a goal and Liverpool took the lead 1-0 away from home!"

"Chelsea fans must be very disappointed. If they lose this game, they will have lost to Liverpool three times in less than two months of the new season."

"Including last season's double defeat by Liverpool, Chelsea has lost five games in a row against Liverpool. This is not a glorious record."

There was an exclamation in the commentary booth.

Stamford Bridge Stadium.

Just as everyone imagined.

Chelsea fans held their heads in their hands and looked at the stadium with sad faces.

This scene now.

It is really unfavorable for Chelsea.

English fans are quite knowledgeable about football.

The fans know exactly what Sarri is going to do by putting up such a formation.

The idea is to rely on defense first to attract Liverpool to attack, and then steal a goal when the opponent fails to attack for a long time.

Mid- and lower-level teams often do this when facing top teams.

In the Premier League, it is not normal for giants like Chelsea and Manchester United not to suffer several defeats against mid- and lower-level teams every season.

It can be seen that such a strategy is quite useful when the strength of the two sides is quite different.

Chelsea used this strategy against Liverpool.

You are putting yourself in a relatively weak position.

But who would think so.

Even so
Chelsea only lasted fifteen minutes.

Is this Liverpool team really that strong now?

Chelsea fans were a little frustrated.

The entire Stamford Bridge stadium was filled with the cheers of Liverpool fans.

Sari is craving for a cigarette.

I touched my body and wanted to smoke.

But he touched it for a long time.

Huh?

Where's my cigarette?
Sarri then remembered.

This is the Premier League.

Not Serie A.

Sarri is a well-known heavy smoker.

He is a heavy smoker.

According to Italian media reports.

He smokes at least eighty cigarettes a day.

Four packs of cigarettes a day.

I am an old smoker.

When he was coaching Napoli, he often smoked on the sidelines.

But things get a bit troublesome when I come to the Premier League.

Smoking is not allowed during Premier League matches.

Although Chelsea has set up a special smoking area for Sarri.

But
He couldn't just turn around and go to the smoking area to smoke when he lost the ball.

Sarri fumbled around for a long time, then scratched his head.

It's troublesome
Originally, we wanted to rely on defense to deal with Liverpool.

As a result, the ball was lost in the time it took to smoke a cigarette.

What to do now?
The old smoker sat in the coach's seat, feeling a little uneasy.

"Hahahaha, they actually want to set up an iron bucket formation!"

"Isn't this courting death?"

"We have the best heads in the world!"

Liverpool players rushed up to celebrate the goal, and everyone jumped up and patted Sunshine on the head.

The shot was so strong that the goal scorer could hardly resist.

Wait until everyone is done celebrating.

Yangguang could only helplessly tidy up his hairstyle.

It is said that if you use your head too much, you will be more likely to have a stroke when you get older.

I don't know if there will be any health risks if I get hit like this every time I score a header.

You won’t be beaten stupid, right?
Klopp on the sidelines also celebrated with his fists clenched.

This goal is of great significance.

This goal means a lot.

This is what a solid defense looks like. When the opponent is unable to score a goal, the players' confidence becomes stronger and they run more actively, which means the defense is more solid.

As the time goes.

This iron barrel formation is becoming increasingly difficult to break.

in turn.

The sooner you score a goal.

The opponent's tactics will be more difficult to maintain.

This goal completely invalidated Chelsea's tactics.

Having lost a goal, Chelsea had no way to continue defending.

They have to attack.

Otherwise they would definitely lose the game.

They have to at least get a goal, a draw is better than a loss.

Thus.

This will give Liverpool more opportunities.

Klopp turned his head and looked towards the sidelines.

Sure enough, Sarri was already talking to Hazard and Fabregas intensely.

I guess they are planning the next offensive tactics.

Chelsea need to press forward and attack.

Then Klopp has nothing to worry about.

He turned around, sat back in the coach's seat, and crossed his legs.

After the game restarts.

Klopp is a little restless.

Because he found out he was wrong.
Chelsea continued to defend.

That Italian is really patient!

Saw the look in Klopp's eyes.

Sarri continued to keep his eyes on the pitch.

He knew very well what the German was expecting.

He must not allow the game to develop into the kind of tempo that Liverpool likes.

He asked his team to continue defending.

Just one goal behind.

If Chelsea push forward now, they will be seeking death.

Sarri knows that.

Just after scoring a goal.

Liverpool's attack will definitely be more fierce.

If you press out at this time.

I'm afraid we'll keep losing goals one after another.

By then, the game will be completely over.

Now, we are only one goal behind.

If we were only one goal behind in the first half.

That's still an acceptable result.

He can make adjustments during the half-time break. If there is only one goal missing, he will have more room for adjustment.

The players' confidence will not collapse even if they are only one goal behind.

If we fall behind too much in the first half.

That was during the halftime break.

There is no point in any adjustments made by the head coach.

We were behind by three, four or five in the first half.

Who has the confidence to make a comeback in the second half?
and so.

After losing the ball on the ground.

Sarri told his team to continue defending.

Can't lose the ball.

At least.

Can't lose the ball continuously.

This is the right approach
After conceding the goal, Chelsea did not press forward to attack, but continued to shrink their defense.

It turns out they were right to do so.

If Chelsea was eager to equalize the score and attack against Liverpool, who were full of morale.

It is very likely that there will be a major collapse in the first half.

Now that they have retreated, Liverpool feels a little helpless.

Eleven Chelsea players huddled in the penalty area.

Offensive players, looking around, saw densely packed heads.

In this situation, we want to attack the penalty area through step-by-step short passes.

Not impossible.

But it is extremely difficult.

But for Liverpool.

They don't need to do that.

Intensive defense?

Too many defenders?
Just look for the sunlight.

Whether it is high or low.

Whether it is grabbing the ball in the penalty area or shooting from outside the penalty area.

These are the strengths of the sun.

As long as the ball is passed to his feet, he is a threat.

As soon as Keita received the ball, he looked up and habitually looked for the sunlight.

At this time, the sun was retreating from the penalty area.

He just ran a route that allowed Keita to pass the ball.

He decisively passed the ball to Yang Guang.

When Sunshine received the ball, the attention of Chelsea's defenders was almost all on him, and he was under tremendous defensive pressure.

When Keita passed the ball.

The football just left his feet.

Keita then spotted three Chelsea defenders diving towards the sunlight.

Rudiger and Azpilicueta behind him suddenly rushed up to put pressure on Sunshine's body.

Kante seemed to be planning to move forward and use his more flexible body to try to steal the ball from Sunshine.

under these circumstances.

Keita felt that Yang would most likely not stop the ball but pass it out immediately.

So he quickly opened up the angle for the ball and created a passing route for Yangguang.

however.

Just now.

Keita's eyes widened.

"Isn't it?"

Keita, who had just joined the team and had not yet fully understood Sunshine's abilities, was shocked.

Kante rushed forward to steal the ball, but Yangguang kicked the ball over Kante's head with his left foot.

Then he turned around quickly.

This put Kante, Rudiger and Azpilicueta all behind him.

at the same time.

He has already raised his right foot.

He made a gesture to shoot directly without stopping the ball.
Keita stared.

Subsequently
boom!
When you see the football flying towards the goal.

He had already raised his hands.

"nice shot!!"

Keita was convinced.

"Yang lobs the ball and shoots it directly!!"

amid the roars of the commentators.

Yangguang kicked the football hard with the instep of his right foot.

The huge sound echoed around Stamford Bridge.

The football suddenly flew towards the goal.

It flew over Louis' head and then fell rapidly.

Kepa reacted very quickly.

He suddenly jumped up, stretched out his arms, and flew to save the ball.

But he still couldn't do anything with the ball.

The football hit the inner edge of the post with a clang, causing the door frame to vibrate violently.

This shows how powerful this ball is.

The football bounced into the net and lifted it up high. It rotated and rubbed against the net for half a second before falling to the ground.

The ball went in.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!"

the commentators chanted.

Stamford Bridge fell completely silent.

"What a genius move from Sunshine, he dribbled the ball, turned around and shot! Oh, oh, oh! Beautiful! An incredible world wave!! Liverpool is leading by two goals away from home!!"

"Yangguang scored twice! It was only three minutes after his last goal!!"

He Wei shouted excitedly.

The suspense of the game is over.

Liverpool lead by two goals.

Chelsea no longer had any chance of winning.

Even though the first half of the game is still a long way off.

Liverpool are now only two goals ahead.

But He Wei can be sure.

Chelsea has been defeated!!

They were totally overwhelmed by the sun!!!

Sarri saw this scene.

I couldn't help but sit dejectedly in the coach's seat.

He shook his head repeatedly.

This goal completely destroyed the confidence of Chelsea's defenders.

It’s not that Chelsea players can’t accept losing the ball.

But it is unacceptable to lose the ball like this.

Both goals were scored without Chelsea's defenders making any obvious defensive mistakes and without Sunshine having any absolute chances.

Three players rushed forward at the same time.

But the result.
Sunshine completed the shot in a very unexpected way.

Losing a goal like this is really demoralizing.

This gave Chelsea players the impression that the sun cannot be blocked.

As long as the sun is on the court.

They will forget about achieving their tactical goals.

That being the case.

What's the point of resistance?

The players' confidence was completely gone.

This also means.

This game.

That's all I said.

Chelsea finally did not lose the ball in the first half, but they did not score a goal either.

Moreover, all the fans who watched the first half of the game confirmed it.

If it weren't for good luck.

Chelsea are definitely not just two goals behind now.

In the first half of the game.

The gap between the two sides is very obvious.

Even the most optimistic Chelsea fans.

At this moment, we don’t dare to hope that Chelsea can come back from 2-0 down to 3-0 in the second half.

During the intermission.

Sarri made tactical adjustments.

He let the team go.
Anyway, we are now two goals behind.

Might as well give it a try.

Sarri tried every possible way to boost the morale of the team.

I hope to make a comeback in the second half.

Even Sarri himself felt that this hope was too slim.

But this is football. If you don’t try, how can you know that it is impossible to create a miracle?
The second half of the game begins.

Chelsea pressed forward and attacked directly.

Chelsea fans in the stands also cheered up and cheered for the team. They created a huge noise in the stands and fought with the team in this way. They hoped that Chelsea players would show their courage and not lose in a cowardly way, even if they lost. Even if they died, they had to die standing up!

Liverpool fans were also happy.

They want to see an open game.

After all, everyone wants to see more goals in the game.

Once Chelsea attacked their backline there were many gaps.

This is exactly what Liverpool can take advantage of.

Chelsea certainly knows this.

But they had no choice.

Hope was completely shattered in the 63rd minute of the game.

Yangguang got a chance to counterattack. He successfully made an offside move and received the ball in the side of the penalty area and went for the goal alone.

Facing the goalkeeper, he calmly shot into the bottom corner.

Sent the ball into the goal for the third time.

Performed a hat trick.

When the sun celebrates.

The Chelsea players had dull eyes.

They had completely lost all confidence.

After this goal.

Klopp started making substitutions.

Odegaard and Ashraf got a chance to play.

They replaced Henderson and Arnold respectively.

And Liverpool's goals haven't stopped yet.

Trailing by three goals, Chelsea had no choice but to give it a go at home.

The 78th minute of the game.

Hazard volleyed the ball from the edge of the penalty area and blasted the ball into the goal.

This goal was a beautiful one.

But Hazard had no time to celebrate.

Chelsea's morale was boosted after scoring a goal, and Chelsea fans seemed to see the light of hope.

But this light went out in the 85th minute of the game.

Salah cut in from the wing and shot, once again penetrating Chelsea's goal.

Four to one.

Liverpool played like crazy in the away game.

After losing the ball.

Chelsea almost completely lost their resistance and they retreated to the backcourt. For Chelsea's players, what they most wanted to hear now was the whistle at the end of the game.

When the referee blows the whistle to end the game.

Stamford Bridge was much quieter than usual.

Liverpool's substitutes rushed onto the pitch.

Celebrate the victory with your teammates.

"Seven league games, twenty-one points! Liverpool has won seven games in a row since the start of the season, and has started the season in a pretty crazy state!"

"Yang scored a hat trick. His form never seems to be low. This crazy Chinese is leading Liverpool to a glorious era that Liverpool fans can hardly imagine."

"Liverpool is making great strides towards the Premier League title!!"

Commentator Chloe chanted.

"Who can stop Liverpool?"

This sentence became the front-page headlines of many media after the game.
