Coach, I want to play football!
Chapter 856 A Different Blues Army
Terry and Henderson guessed coins, and Terry won. He knew that Ye Qi was good at attacking quickly after the opening, so he specifically chose the kick-off right.
Henderson had no choice but to choose sides, and ultimately chose the side of the stands where Liverpool fans are loyal.
The game hasn't started yet, but Liverpool fans at Anfield are holding up their Liverpool scarves and singing the Liverpool anthem You'll Never Walk Alone.
Referee Mike Dean was checking the clock. He was not in a hurry and was obviously waiting for the Liverpool fans to finish singing.
After the team anthem ended, Mike Dean blew the whistle to start the game. Almost at the same time as Diego Costa kicked off the ball, the home fans applauded, followed by the away team's Chelsea fans.
This is not to applaud Costa, but it is the habit of Liverpool fans. After the team song is sung at every home game, there will be applause.
Diego Costa passed the ball to Cesc Fabregas on the outside. Fabregas did not choose to pass the ball to the frontcourt, but passed the ball to Kante.
Zhan Jun: "Okay, with the whistle of the referee Mike Dean, the game officially started. Chelsea, who kicked off first, did not attack impatiently, but chose to control the ball first. This is consistent with the opening goal. Liverpool's fast break is different."
Liu Yue said: "After all, it is an away game, and Chelsea must know the characteristics of Liverpool, so they will press first after the game starts."
Ye Qi jumped out, first pressing Fabregas, and after finding out that the opponent gave the ball to Kanter, he went to look for Kanter.
Kanter was too familiar with Ye Qi and knew that Ye Qi had some skills in forcing the ball, so after turning around, he did not hand the ball to any of the three central defenders, but directly passed it back to the goalkeeper.
"Yo!" Ye Qi smiled at Kante when he saw this scene, and then quickly rushed towards Courtois.
Kanter did not choose to move forward without the ball. Instead, he stood in front of the three central defenders to check the situation and form a protection.
Courtois came out to receive the pass outside the penalty area. After all, the game had just begun, and his position was relatively advanced.
Seeing Ye Qi continue to press, he did not choose to blindly kick the ball, but chose to pass it to Moses on the wing.
Seeing this scene, Ye Qi had no choice to continue to press forward. Although he was full of energy at the beginning, it was not such a waste.
But Ye Qi did not go up, and Firmino on this side chose to go up.
Zhan Jun: "Liverpool chose to press high from the beginning. Now Chelsea's right wing-back Moses controls the ball, and Firmino chooses to press."
Liu Yue said: "In fact, the current Chelsea team no longer relies too much on Cesc Fabregas in the center to launch attacks, but relies more on the wings."
"Of course, this does not mean that the Blues have given up on the center. On the contrary, Fabregas will often make fatal passes. It's just that when it comes to advancing the offense, more of them go to the wing."
Zhan Jun nodded: "After all, this is related to Chelsea's current formation and style of play. The 343 formation is a greater test for the two wing-backs. After having two wing-backs who can go up and down, there is Ah in front. Zall and Willian, and occasionally Pedro, this wing combination gives them the confidence to focus on wing breakthroughs."
Chelsea currently have three main wing-backs. The first one is Marcos Alonso, who is known as Longo in the world. He was born in the youth training of Real Madrid. He is very good at passing the ball and long-range shooting, and is good at assisting.
After being kicked out of Fiorentina, he was brought to Chelsea by Conte.
The second Azpilicueta doesn't need much, he can play left or right.
The third Victor Moses, a youth trainee of the "King of London" Crystal Palace, has played for many teams in his career and was briefly loaned to Liverpool.
He originally played as a winger and full midfielder. He could hardly get a position at Chelsea before and was loaned out all year round. But this season, after Conte came, he directly put him in the regular main position and became Chelsea's wing-back.
Therefore, Chelsea is attacking more from the wing this season, with Hazard, Willian and Pedro, almost taking turns to bomb.
In the fifth minute, William dribbled the ball from the wing and was blocked. Then he inserted the ball inside and followed Moses behind him. After getting the ball, he cut inside!
Forget it if the full-back attacks from behind, but if he cuts inside, I'll ask you if you're afraid!
Fortunately, Henderson stretched out his foot to block it in time, preventing Moses' pass from finding Diego Costa in the penalty area.
But the ball was caught by Fabregas, who passed a long pass to Hazard on the other side.
After Hazard stopped the ball, he went one-on-one with Klein. Two fake moves on the spot made Klein's blood pressure rise a little.
As Hazard took the ball, he suddenly cut inside and went inside. Klein, who was unable to react in time, stretched out his foot to grab the ball, but kicked Hazard's foot. Hazard was unable to maintain his balance and fell to the ground.
Referee Mike Dean blew his whistle to indicate a foul and gave Chelsea a free kick in the frontcourt.
Because it had just started and Klein's foul was not serious, no yellow card was shown.
Later, Cesc Fabregas's free kick tried to find Diego Costa in the penalty area, but Matip cleared it first.
Zhan Jun: "Liverpool still needs to be careful with this kind of set piece. After all, Chelsea has many high points."
Liu Yue nodded, "After all, there are three central defenders. This means that the wing-back on the right is not Ivan, otherwise the Blues would have one more driver to reverse."
Speaking of Big Ivan, Conte placed him as a substitute central defender after taking office. Because Conte's tactics require the wing-backs to be able to move up and down and have sufficient physical fitness. Whether it's passing the ball or defending, we have to keep up. It's obvious that Ivan can't keep up.
Ivan, who was born as a central defender, does not meet Conte's requirements for the wing-back position. As for the central defender position, Ivan is not so urgently needed. After all, there is still a young talent Zouma who cannot get a chance.
In addition, Ivan's contract will expire next year, and there has been no substantial progress in the contract renewal negotiations between the two parties. So Ivan, who is now playing as a substitute, is already considering leaving the team. By January, he will be able to formally contact offers from other players.
In the tenth minute, Henderson's through ball was aimed at Ye Qi, but Kanter judged his intention in advance and intercepted it halfway.
In the 12th minute, Klein broke through from the wing and passed to Mane who was cutting inside. Mane cut in from the ribs in a flash.
Gary Cahill quickly came over to cover. At this time, Mane immediately passed the ball behind Terry and David Luiz. Ye Qi, who followed up, succeeded in countering offside and hit the goal directly after getting the ball!
But Kanter came up very quickly. He slid out almost as soon as Ye Qi started to shoot, and finally blocked Ye Qi's shot.
"Hey, shit..." Ye Qi looked at the "little black tan" in front of him and subconsciously cursed.
Of course he wasn't scolding Kanter, it was a modal word to some extent.
The offensive opportunity was lost and the ball was cleared by David Luiz and went out of the sideline.
Ye Qi came up and patted Kanter on the shoulder, pulling him up from the ground.
"Good guy, you came here for me today!" Ye Qi complained.
Kanter lowered his head sheepishly and nodded.
"The coach asked me to keep an eye on you today."
Ye Qi: "???"
Damn it, can you tell me this directly?
