This game, Liverpool's changes, at least in the early stages of the game, received quite good results.

Liverpool used aggressive running to effectively limit Chelsea’s offense, although this kind of high-intensity press in the front court will make the physical consumption of Liverpool players increase.

However, such physical energy consumption is exchanged for Liverpool's different fighting spirit on the field, which makes all fans watching the match look forward to Liverpool's performance in this game.

As for physical energy consumption, Liverpool’s young midfielders have more vigor to support their running.

Liverpool, sitting at Anfield Stadium, is naturally a well-deserved main attacker.

Although the team's three midfielders do not have particularly good offensive power, they rely on the assists of two full-backs, as well as Henderson and Emre Can tirelessly plug in, threatening long shots.

Liverpool's offense began to become more three-dimensional and more aggressive.

Although Emre Can is only a 20-year-old young midfielder, his playing style is really similar to Gerrard.

Liverpool bought him back this summer because he valued certain qualities like Gerrard.

They are all running tirelessly on the field, up and down, regardless of physical factors.

Not only can play a role on the defensive end, but also can break into the opponent's hinterland, launch a personal offense.

The power of a long shot is also quite similar to Gerrard.

It's just that Gerrard is old, and Emre Can is in a player, just beginning to enter the peak age.

Flanagan's return from injury on the left is good news for Rogers.

The newly introduced Moreno's speed is indeed fast. On the offensive end, he can barely rely on his speed and flexibility to complete offensive tasks.

But for the Premier League game and the rhythm of the game, Moreno still needs more time to adapt.

Especially on the defensive end, Moreno, who is not tall enough and does not have the ability to confront, is the most easily targeted point on Liverpool's court.

Flanagan, an orthodox Liverpool youth player, is different. He has more Premier League experience than Moreno. His appearance has beneficially improved Liverpool’s defensive problems on the left side, allowing the midfielder, more Participate in the offense.

As for himself, Flanagan is a young player who dared to play and rush. After he got the ball, he dared to make moves on the wing.

This time, it was Flanagan's own aggressiveness, relying on physical confrontation, to forcibly get rid of Chelsea's frontcourt Oscar defense.

Flanagan's strong attack on the wing directly caused a rebound in Chelsea's defense.

Matic made up for Flanagan, before he was in place, he was passed through by Flanagan and found Coutinho.

Coutinho was on the left in the middle, dribbled forward and shot from a long distance.

Feared by Coutinho's long-range threat, Ramirez and Hazard's defense were extremely fast in place.

And Coutinho? After the adjustment was completed, it was found that there was no shooting angle, and he immediately passed the ball across to find the midfielder on the right side of the center.

It was Emre Can who started the game following up.

Emre Jan received a pass from Coutinho. When Cahill had already prepared to block in the penalty area, he saved time and shot directly without stopping the ball.

The ball whizzed out.

Cahill immediately jumped up and blocked him.

Emre Can's long shot was shot diagonally, aiming at the upper left corner of Chelsea's goal. Courtois had already reacted and made a flying punt.

just……

The man arrived, the ball didn't arrive!

Courtois' height and wingspan, as well as the speed of reaction, made him one of the best goalkeepers in European football at a young age.

On loan at Atletico last season, Courtois itself is the most important part of Atletico's defense.

Returning to Chelsea this season has squeezed Yang Feng's old teammate Cech onto the bench.

Although this ball is difficult, Courtois believes he can make it.

As a result, Emre Can’s long shot, the football disappeared from Courtois’ vision.

Just when Courtois took off and wanted to save, the ball hit Cahill, who was actively defending, and Emre Jan made a heavy volley, even if he was caught by Cahill. Er used his body to block, but relying on the blessing of the kicking force, it only changed the direction, and the ball speed did not drop too much.

The ball flew from the original trajectory to the upper left corner, and after refraction, it flew to the right post, almost stuck to the post, and flew into the goal.

Courtois, who was already in the air waiting for a save, could not do anything about this ball.

1 to 0!

In this strong matchup, the defending champion Liverpool, who was not optimistic before the game, took the lead.

Chelsea, who fell behind in the away game, were naturally unwilling to just lose at Anfield.

Chelsea then launched a multi-wave offensive.

However, Liverpool's midfield press today made Chelsea panic.

Especially the Liverpool striker, the constant impact on Fabregas, seriously affected the small law, in the position of the midfielder, the pass forward.

And without Fabregas's dispatch, Hazard, Oscar, this type of player has also fallen into the "muscle defense" specially constructed by Liverpool.

Henderson, Emre Can, and Lucas, on the defensive end, are constantly on the body, taking advantage of the "home whistle" advantage, constantly using the body to fight, to continue to put pressure on Chelsea's technical players.

As for the biggest threat to Chelsea's striker, Diego Costa handed it over to Yang Feng, Liverpool's absolute defensive core, for a 1v1 defense.

Costa, known for his "grinding" and "biting" defense, did not have much room to play in the first half of the game today.

He was entangled like a **** plaster by Yang Feng, it was not easy to connect the ball, and he could not exert his strength at all.

Although Costa is Brazilian, he is definitely an outlier in South American football.

He didn't have the fancy moves under the feet of the Brazilian predecessors who went to Europe to wander around~lightnovelpub.net~ His style of playing is "down-to-earth" when it sounds good, or like a "rough brother" when it sounds bad.

The biggest threat or characteristic is that one is that the individual in the frontcourt is unique in the frontcourt, which can put a lot of pressure on the opponent's defense. The second is Costa's ability to handle the goal in front of the goal after receiving the ball. Within that, Costa gets the ball and has a high probability of creating a good scoring opportunity.

But the weaker is Costa's own ability to attack long distances independently.

Yang Feng’s defensive strategy against Costa is very simple, that is, “death entanglement” Costa. While physically confronting him, he interferes with all passes to Costa, cutting off Costa and other teammates from the source. Connect.

Let Costa not receive the ball, Costa also lost his offensive threat.

At this point, perhaps others can’t limit Costa’s running position, but Yang Feng can. His excellent reading ability and cheating-like predictive ability have made some of Costa’s smart running positions be seen through by Yang Feng, and he cannot A real threat.

At least, at the end of the half game, Liverpool's tactics today are absolutely right, and the 1-0 score is the best proof.
