Ace Young Marshal

Chapter 1016 Driving a bus
Conte pacing back and forth frowning on the sidelines, reminding the players to run defensively from time to time.

Anticipating a tough game at Anfield, he didn't expect the team's problems to arise in midfield.

Because Liverpool has been strong in the wings in the past two years, not the midfield attack!
The outside world believes that the reason why Liverpool's two full-backs, Arnold and Robertson, performed well is that the creativity of the midfield offensive organization is not the best, which forces the two full-backs to be more creative in offense!

In the 16th minute of the game, when Liverpool launched an offensive from the left, Robertson hit the wall with Gareth Bale in the frontcourt. After Fabregas came to defend, Robertson knocked the ball across the front of the penalty area. Lewandorf Ski cleverly missed the ball when he took the initiative to run to meet!
At this time, Mbappe, who cut in quickly, saw Cahill's attack before he touched the ball, so he directly pushed the ball behind Cahill when he touched the ball, and at the same time, he accelerated and ran forward to meet Cahill. The moment I passed by, Cahill was ready to make a foul for the first time, reaching out and trying to pull Mbappe's jersey, but it was still too late!

Mbappe scored the goal!
When he drove into the Blues penalty area like a super sports car, no Blues player could intercept him!
Christensen went to defend Lewandowski just now!
Bakayoko is also preparing to press Lewandowski, and Marcos Alonso is also slightly unresponsive when he enters the penalty area belatedly.

When Mbappe faced the goalkeeper Courtois in the penalty area, he showed an extremely strong momentum, swung his legs and blasted the ball to the far corner of the goal!
Courtois immediately blocked the save, but it was beyond his reach!

With all eyes on, the football hit the inside of the far post and bounced into Chelsea's goal!

This is an absolute dead end!
"Mbappe scored! OMG! 13th Premier League game in a row!
Mbappe is amazing, not only can he score goals, but he also performed well in tough battles!

He has scored goals from many powerful players in the Premier League this season!
Arsenal, Tottenham, Manchester United, Manchester City, now it's Chelsea's turn!
The French superstar swept the Premier League giants!

This goal also fully demonstrated his strong personal strength. After Lewandowski missed the ball and caught Chelsea's defense by surprise, Mbappe chose to pass the ball after touching the ball to the right in front of the penalty area. After breaking through Cahill wonderfully, he went into the penalty area and kicked a shot to score the goal!

Courtois has nothing to do, indeed, this ball is too tricky!
Hit the post and bounce into the goal!

Liverpool lead Chelsea 1-0.

Now the pressure is entirely on Chelsea's shoulders.

Will they be 4 points behind Manchester United after this round? "

Mbappe rushed to the sidelines to celebrate, enjoying the enthusiastic cheers that the Red Army fans broke out for him.

Situ Yunbing clapped his hands and applauded on the coach's bench, smiling very proudly.

Mbappe can be called the perfect work in his coaching career to train players!

Conte has no temper for conceding goals, and Chelsea's midfield sweep was too blind.

Drinkwater follows wherever the ball goes, and is easily lost by a quick pass from the opponent, while Bakayoko is completely out of the rhythm of the game!
Liverpool's winger's breakthrough ability is very strong, which forced Conte to gesture to the team to make the formation retreat further to compress the defensive space.

Generally speaking, the extreme defense is to compress the formation in the second half, and most of the troops are within 40 yards in front of the goal. Chelsea basically did the same after the opening.

Now they have to further compress the space, so that Liverpool's offensive players cannot use the space behind their back line to complete breakthroughs or pass and cut penetration.

Except for Hazard and Morata, other players have withdrawn to the [-]-yard area in front of the goal. What is the concept?
Three central defenders are in the penalty area, and three defensive midfielders are in front of the penalty area line. This double-layer defense is enough to make it impossible for most opponents to form a threatening shot or pass.

In addition, two wing players are defending on the wing outside the penalty area, and they can make up for the penalty area at any time!

In this way, although Chelsea has improved the quality of defense, it has almost made the offense a single battle between Hazard and Morata!

Most of the time, Hazard and Morata didn't even have a chance. Even if they had a chance, both of them encountered Liverpool's strong sniping when they took possession of the ball to push forward or seek cooperation.

When Hazard fell down again and again and won free kicks in the frontcourt for Chelsea, but in the end he still failed to form a more threatening offensive opportunity, Situ Yunbing couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion off the court.

"Pity."

Situ Yunbing said to himself.

Gerrard heard the words and asked curiously: "Boss, what's the pity? Did we fail to score again?"

Liverpool has been bombarding Chelsea's defense indiscriminately, but Chelsea blocked the goal with a human wall. It is not so easy for Liverpool to score goals.

Situ Yunbing slightly tilted his head and said to Gerrard: "Nine years ago, when I was coaching in Monaco, Hazard played for the Lille team in Ligue [-]. It can be said that among the players on the field today, I respect Hazard is still very familiar and understanding, at that time he was the rookie king in Lille, but it is a pity that he chose the wrong team in his career."

Gerrard asked thoughtfully: "You mean he shouldn't go to Chelsea?"

Situ Yunbing asked rhetorically: "If he went to Dortmund, or to Manchester United at the time, or to a top-tier league team with an offensive style, don't you think his talent will be better activated?

Instead of simply improving his personal ability in the past so many years, he plays football alone, which cannot be better stimulated by the team, and it is almost difficult for him to integrate into a richer technical and tactical system now. . "

Gerrard thought carefully about Chelsea's situation in the past few years, and finally had to agree with Situ Yunbing's point of view.

Situ Yunbing's so-called pity is actually comparing Hazard nine years ago.

The fledgling Hazard relied on his personal ability to win applause. Nine years later, Hazard has only matured in his personal ability. Apart from this, he has not shown other outstanding qualities.

Just like competing for personal ability, Sancho is definitely not as good as him, but if Hazard is placed in Liverpool's technical and tactical system, his performance will not be better than Sancho, because his personal possession is in Liverpool's system It will appear procrastinated, and his lack of ability to run air cuts deep behind the opponent's defense and hit the key directly will also make Liverpool's offense lack the threat of directly hitting the opponent.

Is it Hazard's fault?
Not really.

It's just that he has played the role of a lone hero at Chelsea for many years. After a long time, he will naturally not get more experience and growth, and he is accustomed to the current state.

So Situ Yunbing would only feel a little pity.

Who made Chelsea rich.

Back then, Abramovich was able to make a promise to Hazard to triple his salary in one phone call, and the transfer fee could also satisfy Lille. At that time, it seemed that there was no problem with the happy transfer.

I just don't know if this talented boy who was hailed as expected to challenge Ronaldo and Messi will be a little lost when he sees the flourishing Mbappe on the court.

The first half of the game ended with Liverpool's wild attacks to no avail.

Situ Yunbing was not disappointed that the team failed to seize the opportunity to expand the score.

Because Liverpool didn't have many chances after 25 minutes of the game. The most threatening shot came from Gareth Bale. A long shot was bravely saved by Courtois to resolve the danger.

He just wondered if Conte would try to change his tactics in the second half to try to help Chelsea come back.

Maybe Conte now somewhat understands Mourinho's embarrassment.

When Chelsea's lineup structural problems and style of play shackle the team's upper limit, causing the team to fall into a bottleneck, coupled with some schedule and personnel injury factors, the team is unable to extricate itself from the quagmire!
During the intermission, Situ Yunbing warned the team to be alert to Chelsea's sudden acceleration and changes in play style in the second half. Besides, there is no need to deliberately change the play style and tactics. Breaking the dense defense is not the thinner the stronger. It is right for the broad ax to take turns greeting the opponent.

After all, Liverpool is ahead, not behind.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again in the stadium. The fans of the Red Army cheered enthusiastically in the stands, and the fans of the Blue Army also cheered hard, but the atmosphere was quite tragic.

Chelsea have lost to Arsenal and Manchester City in the first half of the league this season, and now it seems that it is very difficult to beat Liverpool away.

This intuitively tells all Blues fans a cruel fact: the Blues want to win the championship?Nothing!

Chelsea's defense was better than in the first half, but the overall performance was more negative. It seemed that Morata and Hazard were going to sprint to death repeatedly. The other teammates were watching from the backcourt and had no desire to invest in the attack .

There are still not many problems for Liverpool to control Chelsea's counterattack, but the penetration of offensive organizations has become very difficult.

Most of the time, you can only rely on a long shot to try your luck.

Occasional attempts to send a through ball or pass the ball from the bottom of the wing failed to play a threat.

Situ Yunbing is really convinced. When he led the team to play defensive counterattacks, he really couldn't beat the bus!
However, Chelsea's two coaches in the past four years have been able to drive a bus to Anfield!

He really doesn't understand the thoughts of Chelsea's top management, and he doesn't know if Abramovich has indeed lost interest in the team.

I used to have conflicts with Mourinho because of beautiful football. After Scolari failed, he invited Ancelotti. Then he missed beautiful football and invited Villas-Boas. After the failure, he sent Mourinho. Invited back, then suddenly did not support Mourinho, and then Conte came.

What exactly do they expect from Conte?

Or what kind of team do you expect Conte to train Chelsea into?

It's puzzling!
