Coach, I want to play football!

Chapter 861 The habit of beauty in prosperous times

Klopp celebrated excitedly on the sidelines. It would be much easier for the team to score first.

Next, we have to see how Chelsea changes. If the Blues press the offense, the defense in the second half will definitely be a problem.

Conte frowned and called midfielder Cesc Fabregas to the sidelines for a face-to-face discussion.

At the same time, let Pedro, Azpilicueta, Batshuayi and others on the bench warm up.

After the game restarted, Liverpool, who had scored one goal first, came out full force. In addition, Ye Qi had Firmino's help by his side, which made him feel much more relaxed.

Regardless of Firmino's mediocre statistics on goals and assists on the field, there is also nothing special about passing several people in a row.

But he is very important on the court, especially when Ye Qi needs support.

Chelsea wanted to equalize the score, but it was difficult to counter the opponent's attack against Liverpool, which was in full swing during this period.

In the 65th minute, Ye Qi received a pass from Mane, turned around and passed Gary Cahill, and when he wanted to break into the penalty area, he met Kanter.

Ye Qi's foot speed continued, trying to pass the opponent with fried balls.

As a result, Kanter was not fooled the first time. When Ye Qi knocked the ball from his right foot to his left, he decisively stretched out his foot and poked the ball away.

Zhan Jun: "Kante! Excellent defense, he is the anchor of this Chelsea backcourt!"

After Kanter intercepted the ball, he immediately gave it to Moses on the wing. Moses dribbled the ball away from Moreno and then passed the ball to the center.

Diego Costa glanced at Hazard, who was surrounded by the far end, and wanted to give the ball to the opponent.

But Matip came up and pushed Diego Costa before heading in to clear the ball.

However, this push was too obvious, so Mike Dean blew the whistle to indicate that Matip had committed a foul first.

Ye Qi at the far end raised his hand to indicate that the ball was his own problem. I took it for granted. I wanted to get past Kanter, but the opponent intercepted the ball and made a counterattack. Instead, it caused trouble for my teammates on the back line.

Kante intercepts the ball and Chelsea counterattacks! This is the Blues' signature counterattack mode.

Diego Costa was not convinced and pushed Matip when he came up. Naturally, some friction between the two was inevitable.

In addition, Matip had long been dissatisfied with Costa's constant little moves, so he came up and pushed Costa unceremoniously.

Zhan Jun: "Hey, Matip should be careful not to be fooled by Diego Costa."

Liu Yue also said: "Such small tricks are what Diego Costa prefers. Using some small movements or deliberate provocations to make the opponent's defender lose his cool and get hot-headed, it is more dangerous."

Zhan Jun nodded, "Yes, this is a habitual action for beauty in the prosperous times. But it stands to reason that the defenders in the Premier League should be familiar with it now."

Referee Mike Dean kept blowing the whistle to separate the two, and then also signaled the players of the two teams not to gather together.

Because of this conflict just now, the surrounding Blue Army and Red Army soldiers gathered around, worried that their teammates would suffer.

Mike Dean showed a yellow card each to Diego Costa and Matip.

Diego Costa was a little unconvinced and pointed at himself at Mike Dean, indicating that the yellow card was definitely for me? Didn't you make a mistake?

William quickly came over and pulled Diego Costa, fearing that his fellow Brazilian could not restrain his emotions and applied for a second yellow card.

Diego Costa is Spanish, but he was Brazilian before. Therefore, there is no problem in communication between the two.

Zhan Jun: "This is a fifty-fifty game each. Both sides received a lot of yellow cards today."

For Chelsea, Diego Costa, Cesc Fabregas, David Luiz and Moses all received yellow cards.

On Liverpool's side, Henderson, Leiva, Klein and now Matip also have yellow cards.

It can be seen that the confrontation between the two sides in this game was actually quite fierce.

The game entered the 70th minute, and at this time Chelsea coach Conte began to make substitutions.

William was substituted, and Pedro Sabres came on as a substitute! At the same time, Azpilicueta came on as a substitute and replaced Moses.

Zhan Jun: "After falling behind, Chelsea also took the initiative to seek changes. Pedro came on to increase the breakthrough from the wing, and Azi also came up. I had some minor injuries when I played for the Spanish national team. At present, it should be It’s not a big problem anymore, so I came on as a substitute today.”

Liu Yue: "Chelsea actually has quite a few players involved in the offense, but it just lacks the player who makes the final decision!"

Costa, Hazard, Willian, Fabregas, plus Alonso who came up as a wing-back and Moses who was replaced, so when they attacked, they had six people!

But the quality and threat of the shot are indeed a little bit behind.

Hazard's passing is very beautiful and he can frequently create threats. But to be honest, his shooting ability is average.

He is originally a player like Cristiano Ronaldo who shoots after passing people. Hazard's biggest threat is dribbling.

Diego Costa's shooting was okay, but he always felt a little frizzy today.

When Klopp saw Pedro on the field, he thought of Hazard on the other side. This is his main goal of breaking through from both sides and flying together on both wings!

William's speed and explosiveness on the wing are equally fast, no worse than Pedro at all. But Pedro is very flexible and can easily create threats by moving around on the wing.

Moreover, William has been playing for seventy minutes and his physical fitness is gradually declining. At this time, a new force like Pedro would definitely want to make a splash.

To understand this, Klopp also used his second substitution in this game.

Milner came on as a substitute, removing defensive midfielder Leiva.

Leiva's defense was very good today and he was very conscientious. But now the opponent's center is actually not a big threat, it mainly comes from the wings.

Klopp quietly said to Milner while Milner was preparing on the sidelines: "Your task is to help go to the wing and keep an eye on Hazard and Pedro. Also tell Jordan that his position is to retreat. Some, don’t press too far forward.”

Milner nodded to show that he understood, and did not ask himself the question of how one person could watch both sides during the whole process.

When Zhan Jun first saw Milner preparing to come on, he thought he was coming up as a full-back to remove Moreno or Klein to defend Hazard and Pedro.

As a result, I didn't expect to replace midfielder Leiva.

But it's not a big problem. He was right about strengthening his defense against Hazard and Pedro.

In this game, Chelsea was very defensive against Ye Qi, and the same was true for Liverpool against Hazard.

In the 78th minute, Milner intercepted the ball from Hazard and then passed it directly to Klein in front of him.

Klein wanted to go down the wing, but he met Alonso who came up. So the English defender chose to pass through the space between Alonso and David Luiz!
