Coach, I want to play football!

Chapter 862 Normal goalkeeper and super goalkeeper

Mane, who followed up, rushed out to get the ball, and then broke through with the ball from his ribs!

Ye Qi and Firmino in the middle moved forward at the same time. Firmino was slightly behind, but his position was closer to Mane.

After Mane cut inside the ribs to attract David Luiz, he crossed into the middle of the penalty area!

Firmino suddenly started to speed up and pushed forward, pulling Terry away in the middle.

Ye Qi, who was at the back point, got the ball, but as soon as he got the ball, Gary Cahill and Kanter double-teamed him.

Ye Qi grabbed the ball and turned his back to Kanter and Gary Cahill to prevent them from destroying the ball.

Zhan Jun: "Okay, Ye Qi gets the ball with his back. It's another familiar double play with his back!"

Liu Yue: "This is Ye Qi's characteristic. As a big center, he can hold the ball."

After holding up the two men with his back, Ye Qi pushed the ball out.

Coutinho, who came up from behind, was in place and got the ball before Azpilicueta came up, but instead of taking the ball, he came up and took a direct kick.

Less than half a meter inside the penalty area, this is Coutinho's shooting range!

The ball flew toward the goal. Gary Cahill stretched out his foot to block it, but did not touch the ball.

Goalkeeper Courtois rushed over and barely managed to block the shot into the far corner.

Zhan Jun: "It's Courtois again!!"

Liu Yue: "Courtois is in great shape today. He has already saved two shots that Liverpool are almost certain to score!"

Zhan Jun smiled and nodded: "Yes, Ye Qi had a kick before, and now Coutinho has another kick!"

Coutinho held his head, not expecting that the ball was saved by the opponent.

He gave Ye Qi a thumbs up, indicating that the goal was very well done and it was his fault that he didn't score.

Ye Qi shook his head and didn't take it to heart.

Because Courtois had saved a very threatening shot before, he knew that this goal was not Coutinho's fault, but that Courtois was in a bit of a brave state today.

After the game, Coutinho took a corner kick, but Ye Qi failed to grab the ball while surrounded by Terry and Cahill.

Zhan Jun: "It is still a bit difficult for Liverpool to set the ball, mainly because Chelsea has too many high points. There are three central defenders and a center forward."

Liu Yue said with a smile: "This means that Matic did not play, otherwise there would be more high points."

The game gradually passed eighty minutes, and the time was getting less and less.

Conte also used up his last substitution, Fabregas was replaced, and Belgian center Batshuayi came on as a substitute.

Chelsea, who was playing both sides, no longer needed midfield organization, and the remaining few minutes were all about kicking the ball from the wing.

Klopp understood after two minutes that Chelsea wanted to give it a try, so he used his last substitution in the 85th minute.

Ye Qi was substituted, and center defender Klavan came on the bench.

Ye Qi saw the substitution sign on the sidelines and slowly walked off the court.

At this time, the home Liverpool fans at Anfield Stadium applauded Ye Qi.

Zhan Jun: "Although Ye Qi didn't score a goal today, he had an assist."

Liu Yue said: "The main thing is that Ye Qi can create pressure on Chelsea's defense in the frontcourt. In previous Chelsea games, we have seen the wing-backs go up and play as wingers. Although Kante is a defensive midfielder, this is still This is the first time the other party has tightened it so tightly."

Zhan Jun nodded: "Yes, Kanter has always been active in the area from the center line to the front of the penalty area. But today, he once received a call near the penalty area or even inside the penalty area."

"Alonso and Moses are not as determined as before. This is the pressure Ye Qi creates on the opponent's defense."

Although Ye Qi didn't seem to have too many shots on the court today, he was crucial to Liverpool's offense.

In addition to being able to score goals, Ye Qi is very good at holding the ball, making ball moves and assisting.

Klopp always regrets it every time this happens. If he had known that the pre-season tactical arrangements would be centered around Ye Qi, it would have been better!

But the problem is not big, and it’s not too late to make changes.

Zhan Jun: "Klawan probably came up to deal with Chelsea's high ball tactics. The two centers are still a threat in the penalty area. Now they are following Chelsea's example and directly arrange three central defenders!"

Liu Yue: "This is a signal to strengthen defense. Liverpool wants to defend these last few minutes."

After Ye Qi came on the field, Liverpool did not just play three central defenders. Firmino's position also moved from the false nine to the midfielder, and Henderson's position was further back. He and Milner played as a double midfielder.

The frontcourt is divided into two sections. Coutinho is on the left front of Firmino, and Mane is on Coutinho's right front and ribs.

Obviously, Liverpool is not completely defensive, but retains forwards like Mane and Coutinho who are fast and good at breaking through to counterattack.

In the 88th minute, Pedro cut in from the wing and pulled out Liverpool's defense. Following the Sabers, the ball was passed to the wing. Azpilicueta, who came up from behind, took a long step and made a pass from the bottom!

The football flew into the penalty area. Diego Costa, Matip and Lovren took off. During the double-teaming of the two, Costa did not hit the ball.

Zhan Jun: "Azi... passed the ball!"

The ball was cleared by Lovren with a header, but Batshuayi in the penalty area grabbed the second point and hit it directly after stopping the ball.

Zhan Jun: "Bashuayi, will he become the savior of the Blues?"

However, Klavan followed up very crucially and came up to block the shot with his body.

Zhan Jun: "Klawan! A very critical block!"

The football flew outside the penalty area, but Hazard, who followed up, did not let the ball leave the penalty area and came up to catch the ball with his feet.

Zhan Jun: "Hazard... still has a chance, he can fight!"

Azar immediately followed up with a follow-up shot!

But goalkeeper Karius was ready and jumped to pick off Hazard's shot.

Zhan Jun: "The kick was too straight and there was no arc. This is not too difficult for Karius."

The two goalkeepers were very interesting today. Courtois played well, connecting high and blocking low. Karius, on the other hand, played steadily and made no mistakes.

Well...For Liverpool, Karius doesn't need to perform super well, as long as he doesn't make low-level mistakes, he is considered a qualified main goalkeeper.

After catching the ball, Karius quickly ran out of the small penalty area, then took a big kick in the large penalty area and drove the ball directly to the front court.

The ball flew over the midfield, crossed the center line and went to Coutinho. Terry chose to turn around and return to defense.

Among the three central defenders, he is in the center and is positioned further forward. When Chelsea presses out, his position even reaches the midline. Sometimes he has to go to the front of the opponent's penalty area to catch and deliver the ball, playing as a defensive midfielder.

Facing the flying ball, Terry took off and tried to win the header, but failed to hit the ball.

Zhan Jun: "Eh? Terry made a mistake and took the lead!!"
