When Qin Xiong just started, he came to Chelsea's back line without taking two steps, and Chelsea's back line was almost 25 yards away from goalkeeper Petr Cech's position!

The backline was outside the penalty area and, of course, Villas-Boas made Chelsea press high.

Mourinho and Ancelotti would definitely not, not even Ranieri and Grant!

But the young marshal came to Stamford Bridge with grand ideals. He was pretentious. His success in Porto made him think that the Premier League would be his world-class stage.

Today, starting from this moment, Liverpool taught him to be a new man!

Suarez pressed Terry to take the next kick and passed the ball diagonally to Qin Xiong's running line.

Qin Xiong came running wildly, as if he didn't even look at it, and directly kicked a pass.

The football flew diagonally from between David Luiz and Ivanovic to the depth of the left wing.

Baynes rushed to the football landing point first, and knocked the ball towards the penalty area while stopping the ball.

After passing the ball, Qin Xiong continued to run forward, and David Louis could only chase Qin Xiong after turning around!

Suarez also rushed past Terry's side in anti-offside.

Stamford Bridge seems to be changing suddenly!

Chelsea's back line was completely blown out!

The audience in the stands saw three Liverpool players approaching the city!

And the Blues have only Petr Cech in front of the goal!

Some of the Red Army fans were ready to smile excitedly, while the Blue Army fans were dumbfounded and shocked!

Baynes didn't drag his feet. After seeing his teammate's successful anti-offside, he swept the ball from the edge of the penalty area to the middle of the goal.

Qin Xiong arrived, but Cech abandoned the door and left.

Qin Xiong pushed the ball straight to the lower right corner of the goal without stopping the ball!

He played the ball very easily, without any hesitation.

Cech made a save at the moment of his shot, but Qin Xiong's shot angle was too tricky, Cech flew to the end but still couldn't touch the football.

Turning around and looking, the football flew straight to the lower right corner of the goal!

Suarez raised his arms and ran towards Qin Xiong with a roar, while Qin Xiong turned to the sidelines to celebrate with a calm expression.

He kept patting the team logo on his chest towards the fans of the visiting team.

"Wow! Liverpool played a quick counterattack. After Baines quickly pushed the attack from the wing, Liverpool completed a simple cooperation in the middle. After Qin Xiong and Suarez exchanged passes, Qin Xiong's kick pass pierced Chelsea. Defensively, Baynes successfully reversed offside, Qin Xiong successfully reversed offside, Suarez successfully reversed offside!

Chelsea's back line is too far from the goal!

This gave Liverpool enough space to counter offside.

Baines made a cross, and Qin Xiong made a good push from the middle!

Liverpool opened the scoring at Stamford Bridge. No one expected Liverpool's goal to come so quickly.

At least it seems that the offensive strength of Liverpool's starting lineup today should have declined.

But they are still so unstoppable! "

"It seems that Koeman's tactics have worked. He has seized the weakness of Chelsea's high press. Liverpool's formation today is very targeted, that is, Chelsea's attack is blocked and they have to press forward. At the same time, their high press will definitely Concentrate forces in the midfield, because Qin Xiong is in the middle.

But their offensive advancement relies on full-backs!

This gave the full-backs space to push the attack, and then when Chelsea helped to defend the side, the offense turned to the center, combining the side and the center. After playing the speed, it is only a question of who runs faster to break through Chelsea's defense.

It has to be said that this is the result of Koeman's serious work.

And Boas is really a stubborn coach. In the loss to Arsenal, Chelsea has exposed the weakness of the failure of the high-position pressing tactics, but he still insists on going this way. Today's game for Chelsea is worrying. . "

"Gary, you are right. The high-position pressing defensive strategy is complex and tactical. Because a highly unified football movement is required to achieve high-position pressing steals, this requires the participation of forwards, midfielders, and goalkeepers. It is actually a very complicated tactic! First of all, this is completely different from Chelsea's defensive strategy in the past many years. Chelsea is good at compressing the defensive space in the backcourt and delaying the opponent's attack speed, rather than forming an encirclement defense in the midfield."

"Even a team like Barcelona that is good at high pressing will fail, and high pressing also pays attention to key defensive areas. It is more representative that in the previous season, Barcelona was defeated by Liverpool in the Champions League knockout round. Guardiola's high-position pressing failed repeatedly, allowing Liverpool to continuously play fast breaks and counterattacks, which eventually led to the goal being frequently broken by opponents. A year later, Guardiola met Liverpool again in the Champions League final. In that game, Barcelona's high-position pressing was the focus The area was obviously retreated, and at the same time, it paid attention to protecting the defensive space in the penalty area. The final failure was not a technical and tactical problem, but just a superstar duel. Liverpool's superstars played even better. Xiong’s personal performance was better than Messi’s, and Liverpool successfully defended the title. If we look at the match between Real Madrid and Barcelona last season, we should remember how Real Madrid was beaten 5:0 by Barcelona, ​​right? Real Madrid also wanted to Containing Barcelona with a high press, the result? Frequently pierced by Barcelona to form a single-handedly, Real Madrid seems to have abandoned Casillas in their own penalty area, allowing Barcelona to shoot wildly after being offside, and since then , Mourinho gave up the high-position pressing tactics against strong teams, and now we can always see that Real Madrid uses the top lineup to play fast breaks and counterattacks instead of oppressing opponents, whether offensive or defensive .

If Villas-Boas does not make on-the-spot adjustments now, Chelsea will lose the ball sooner or later, especially their central defenders are not reliable, Terry did not play well against Arsenal, and David Luiz has been troubled since last season Constantly, today his state does not look very good, plus the midfield defense is not top-notch, and the interception efficiency is mediocre. Under such circumstances, Chelsea dare to use high-position pressing tactics? "

dare!

To be exact, Boas can only do this now!

Seeing that the team was behind, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

After Liverpool scored the first goal, his pressure suddenly increased. He just felt like he was hit with a sap, and he couldn't react for a long time.

He studied Liverpool's performances in the past few games.

He is more worried that Liverpool will turn to defense once the blitz is successful, so Chelsea's solid offensive position really makes him unable to raise his ambition to reverse.

What's more, Liverpool put up three defensive midfielders today, which made Chelsea's positional battle even more difficult.

Under such circumstances, in Villas-Boas' view, Chelsea can only hope to reverse their opponents if they continue to insist on high-position pressing, force their opponents to make mistakes in transition, and catch Liverpool's mistakes! (to be continued~^~)
