Chapter 674 The Crucial First Battle!

Chapter 674 The Crucial First Battle!
Whenever Liverpool completes a substitution in the game, the strengthening of tactics is actually more clear and clear.

After Liverpool replaced Mahrez, they became more determined in their defensive and counterattack tactical intentions.

When Zenit St. Petersburg's strong attack came, the impact on the rhythm did put a lot of pressure on Liverpool, but Situ Yunbing was pleased that Van Dijk's performance today was much better. After all, the tactical level is also very pragmatic. , It will not give opponents too much space like fighting a tough battle in the Premier League.

Zenit St. Petersburg's offensive wave after wave, gained momentum without scoring, but did not create absolute killing intent.

In the 87th minute of the game, after Mahrez sent an overhead cross from the side of the midfield, Sane responded from the left and turned to the inside track, causing the Zenit St. Petersburg defense to collapse suddenly!
At the critical moment, Sane sent the ball before falling into siege, which created an excellent opportunity for Vardy to go to the meeting alone.

Vardy calmly took a low shot in the penalty area and sent the ball into the far corner of the goal!
The fans of the home team in the stands of the stadium were suddenly full of helplessness and disappointment, and Boas was stunned on the sidelines!

Situ Yunbing just sat on the coach's bench and applauded, not very proud.

Zenit St. Petersburg will continue to strengthen the offensive after the kick-off, but Liverpool also further strengthened the defense.

When Van Dijk cleared the opponent's cross, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

Situ Yunbing stood up and walked around to shake hands with Boas after the game. The opponent was even more embarrassed than when he lost at Anfield.

Situ Yunbing didn't take Boas seriously, and even praised him in an interview after the game.

After the end of this round of the Champions League group stage, Liverpool not only qualified ahead of schedule to the top 4 of the Champions League with a record of 16 victories, but also secured the top spot in the group two rounds ahead of schedule!
As for the other qualifying spot, it is up to the other three teams to compete.

Back in England, Fleet Street began to build momentum for the weekend's top game. Although Lewandowski returned from injury on Liverpool's side, the media predicted that he would not enter the starting lineup.

And there are still doubts about Van Dijk's state.

Before the big battle, Situ Yunbing's pre-match remarks were very low-key.

"Judging from the start of the new season, Chelsea is the best team in European football. After the signings in the summer, Chelsea's upward momentum is very rapid and significant, while Liverpool is close to standing still, and we are still facing challenges. Plagued by injuries.

In the upcoming top game, Chelsea will definitely want a win away, Liverpool will probably lose at home, unless we play our best form of the season, no matter what, our philosophy is always to win, no matter who the opponent is . "

Mourinho also talked about Liverpool's performance since the new season before the game. He said: "People's expectations for Liverpool are very high. It seems that Liverpool can't lose, or even get a draw. A draw means losing. Losing points is a sign of failure.

I think if Chelsea and Liverpool are switched, the current trend of public opinion will still not change, because people have witnessed the glory of Liverpool in the past two years, but they have a more tolerant attitude towards other teams such as Chelsea and Manchester City.

This is our advantage. Even when we are leading, the public opinion environment will still be more harsh on Liverpool.

But this is also a gap. The points do not explain the whole problem. Chelsea cannot think that they are definitely ahead of Liverpool just because they are ahead of Liverpool in points.

Playing at Anfield will never be easy. If we want to prove that we are better than Liverpool and more likely to win the championship this season, then we must have a wonderful performance at Anfield!

Because the championship is to prove that you are better than the other 19 teams!

The way to prove it is to win!
I will not be too optimistic, we still have to face Liverpool cautiously, even if the result is a draw, I will be very satisfied. "

Mourinho is also collecting character, he does not want to render the competition between Chelsea and Liverpool into a life-and-death atmosphere in the first half of the season!

However, in the confrontation between opponents for the championship, this 6-point battle is not something that can be easily faced. Chelsea is a guest, and it is an acceptable result to be able to retreat unscathed.

The game between Liverpool and Chelsea is the finale. Prior to this, Arsenal lost to Swansea in the away game. Manchester City also drew 2:2 with Queens Park Rangers in the away game. Manchester United won by one goal at home. Crystal Palace.

After the games of other strong teams, it can basically be seen that they all missed this round to close the gap with the top two teams, and they are not very competitive.

On November 11th, Anfield was full of people, and the Liverpool team anthem echoed in the packed stadium before the start of the game. The scene of Liverpool fans holding up their scarves and singing in unison was a spectacular scene.

Situ Yunbing also put on a warm coat. The temperature has dropped significantly recently. When he played, he was cheered by all the fans.

He deliberately waited for Mourinho's arrival on the sidelines. When Mourinho entered the field, the two shook hands and greeted on the sidelines.

Mourinho said to Situ Yunbing: "We met again. I thought you would make some provocative remarks about Chelsea before the game."

Situ Yunbing said frankly: "I thought about it, and finally gave up. I think Liverpool's record against Chelsea last season was enough to stimulate Chelsea's will to fight this season. Besides, Liverpool's life is not easy. I am frequently on the headlines to attract public attention, I am afraid that it will cause side effects, how about you? I thought you would officially declare war on Liverpool before this game!"

Mourinho shrugged: "I don't think I need to say it anymore. Look at Manchester City, Arsenal and Manchester United. The current situation is that Chelsea are not as determined. Fleet Street has pushed Chelsea to overthrow Liverpool. The dynasty is on the cusp, since we are indeed working hard for it, why bother to say it?"

Situ Yunbing nodded and said: "That's true. I have ignored the other three clubs that are not up to date. The complexity of leading the giants lies in the fact that neither you nor I can let go of the importance of the Champions League to the giants. There is no club here. We have to choose one of the two options, we have to advance on both fronts, unless one of the fronts is really eliminated, so we have to grit our teeth and persevere, who do you think I or you can carry to the end, or to say, have the last laugh?"

Mourinho curled his lips and said: "If Liverpool maintains the frequency that one of the main players is injured on average every half a month, then I don't think there is anything to discuss. Liverpool will fall behind before next year!"

Situ Yunbing smiled and then nodded with Mourinho before turning and walking towards the coach command area.

The starters of the two teams came on the stage, and there were deafening cheers in the Anfield stadium.

As the top battle of the Premier League, this contest can be described as highly anticipated!

"Hello viewers, welcome to the 11th round of the Premier League's top game!
Defending champions Liverpool sit at home against the Blues Chelsea!

现在的积分榜上切尔西以26分高居榜首,8胜2平的战绩确实十分强势,卫冕冠军利物浦则是7胜2平1负,积分上比切尔西少3分。

The direct dialogue between the two teams in this round is considered to be the key first battle between the two teams on the way to the championship!
If Chelsea lose at Anfield, their morale will definitely be greatly affected. Although Liverpool cannot overtake them through goal difference, Chelsea will inevitably fear Liverpool because of the loss!
You must know that there have been many major defeats in Chelsea's defeat against Liverpool in the past two years!
In the Europa League final in 2013, Chelsea lost to Liverpool and missed the championship.

In the 2014 UEFA Champions League knockout round, Chelsea were knocked out by a double play by Liverpool.

Let’s not mention the confrontation between the league and the local cup, because Liverpool has won the Premier League championship in the past two seasons, which is enough to prove the absolute strength of Liverpool in the local competition.

Mourinho returned to Chelsea for the second year of coaching. After a season of hard work, Chelsea finally had the confidence to declare war on Liverpool!

First of all, they have to fight the first battle that is crucial to the championship!
For Liverpool, the words of coach Situ Yunbing before the game revealed their current situation, Liverpool is standing still!

When Lewandowski was injured, we couldn't further judge whether the Polish center could bring greater contribution and role to the team than Suarez did when he was in the team.

Compared with Sterling, who performed amazingly in Manchester City, Sane on Liverpool's side remains to be seen, and Mahrez needs to further prove himself through tough performances.

Liverpool's room for improvement, or the room for improvement itself is very small, but if you stay where you are, it will be very dangerous, because when the recession comes, it will be difficult to stop this trend.

So I think Situ Yunbing's implication is that Liverpool should find a new point that can improve the team so that this team can consolidate its status as the king of European football!
After all, Sane's performance was somewhat lower than expected.

Well, let's take a look at the starting lineups of the two teams today.

Liverpool sits at home and starts 433.
Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen.

Defenders: Azpilicueta, Van Dijk, Koulibaly, Robertson.

Midfield: Eriksson, Kante, Casemiro.

Forwards: Mahrez, Vardy, Gareth Bale.

Chelsea's starting lineup is also 433, hehe, Mourinho is really confident, and the momentum is reflected in the formation.

Goalkeeper: Courtois.

Defenders: Ivanovic, Terry, Cahill, Felipe Luiz.

Midfield: Fabregas, Matic, Ramires.

Forwards: Oscar, Diego Costa, Hazard.

Let's see if Chelsea can play a brilliant performance in the crucial first game of the title race, or Liverpool can use a more convincing performance to declare that their dominance is still stable! "
