When the battle against Chelsea came, Liverpool was also ready and ready to go.

In terms of Liverpool's lineup, Milito, Zhao Yaning, Gerrard and Kuyt are still in the front field. After all, it takes more fighting and confrontation to treat Chelsea. It is difficult to compete with Chelsea by attacking alone. , I have fought against each other countless times, and everyone is very clear about this. Therefore, everyone can understand the decision to let Kuyt play.

For Chelsea, after a season of intermittent injuries and changes, great changes have taken place.

During the game, their lineup did not change much from before. Goalkeeper Cech returned early after most of the season's injury. It's just that now, he wears a helmet to protect his head, this is allowed, and with this thing, he can stand on the playing field. It's just that, looking at his current performance, it has dropped a lot compared to when he was not wearing a helmet.

On the back line, it is still Carvalho, Terry, Ashley Cole and Ferreira. However, since this season, their playing style has also undergone a big change: in the past, Chelsea's defense was carried by Carvalho and Terry supplemented. In the past, Carvalho was faster and more fierce in steals, and he also had a very rare dribbling technique in a defender, so he was more suitable for the front. Of course, there is another reason, because he is sometimes a little reckless. And Terry's speed is slower, but the one-on-one confrontation is very strong, and the defense behind the back is also very good.

But this season, the roles of these two men have changed. After experiencing serious injuries, their speed is no longer the same as before. The speed has slowed down together. Carvalho’s original speed advantage is no longer obvious, and Terry’s original speed problem has become more serious. They obviously lost the original way of playing.

However, they were also very smart to make a change: they became Terry grabbing, Carvalho fills up. Carvalho's speed still has a certain advantage when it comes to replenishment, and Terry's fierceness and stealing ability, as a top grab player, also has a certain degree of play, the two are originally very good partners, and the tacit understanding has always been Very good, from the original tactics to the new style of play, it didn't take a long time to do it. This ingeniously avoided the problem and made everyone admire it.

The Chelsea midfielder is a combination of Mikel, Ballack, Essien and Lampard.

This season, because of injuries and age issues, Makelele has increasingly withdrawn from the main lineup. And Mikel and Ballack are increasingly serving as double midfielders. Ballack is different from Shepchenko. Although he can't play his favorite position because of Lampard's existence, he still has a lot of desire for honor because of his lack of honor. He is willing to change his position and play. Law does not exclude either. Since Lampard occupies the position of the front midfielder, he can also accept to change his position and move back to kick the midfielder. Now in the midfielder position, he has played quite well, and because all four midfielders have strong defensive capabilities, Chelsea's current defense is also quite good.

As for the forward line, Chelsea is still Drogba and Shepchenko. Drogba has played quite well this season, and the media has also recognized that Drogba is the Premier League's first striker after Henry's fall. Of course, Drogba still claims to be the world's number one striker, but this is a bit controversial after all, and no one takes it too seriously. After all, you can't score 20 goals in a season, and there is still a gap with the world's number one.

And Shepchenko... after all, he is a striker bought by the boss for a big price and he is also a football player. Even when he plays the worst, people have to admit that his problem is not that his skills are not good, but that he is difficult to integrate. Go to Chelsea. Therefore, Chelsea still have to give him a chance now-isn't the role of stars to suddenly show off and score goals in the game? Maybe Shepchenko can suddenly show off and score a beautiful goal?

This lineup is Chelsea's strongest lineup this season. Although they have Robben, because of injuries and personal character problems, Robben has rarely appeared in the main force now. Makelele also had the same problem. His age and injuries made it difficult for him to take on heavy responsibilities.

"In this game, Liverpool can be said to have the advantage. After all, Chelsea has been going downhill since Mourinho left. And Liverpool have been thriving for the past two years. Collins Man has made some tinkering changes to Chelsea, but it is difficult to reverse the problem of Chelsea’s inherent poor offensive. Their game is getting slower and slower. Now they are the heaviest in the Premier League. The slowest-paced team. This season, Chelsea were double-killed by Liverpool. When they met Liverpool in the league, they had no resistance. Now, when they meet in the Champions League, what the result will be, let us wait and see."

Chelsea did not play well in the league this season. They were double-killed against Liverpool and lost to Manchester United. In the semi-finals, they won’t take advantage of anyone when they met. In contrast, when they met Liverpool, they were quite happy. Liverpool can be regarded as an attacking team no matter what, if they met Milan, Then it really becomes a match between the two sides to see who can steal one. And if that's the case, Milan, which has a breakthrough counter-attack weapon like Kaka, obviously has a lot of light.

The game started soon, and soon people discovered that Chelsea played quite well.

"This is really amazing. Chelsea lost their main defensive midfielder, but the defense in this game did not decline much. Zhao Yaning, who performed very well in the first two away games, played in this game. Inside, it seems to be really restricted."

Lineker's accident is more because Chelsea no longer has Makelele, but they still play a pretty good defense.

Whether it is Essien, Mikel, or even Ballack, when they come to Chelsea, they have some meaning to complement Makelele's position. However, the facts have proved that people like Makelele are hard to come by.

It is not that his strength is too strong to be replaced. Although he is indeed excellent as a midfielder, Makelele has many problems. It is not impossible to say that he can completely replace him.

However, many of Makelele's advantages are unattainable. He has technology and body. The most important thing is that he has a good mentality and never does what he is not good at, but honestly does his own job, intercepting opponents in the backcourt, and does not consider going to the frontcourt. . He has great wisdom and no lack of cleverness. A variety of grasping foul scales and good control of the game are also one of the important reasons why he can stand.

Everything else is easy to say, the most important thing is the mentality. With a high salary, in the best team, no matter who it is, it will feel self-inflated. At this time, it is especially valuable to be able to wipe your **** honestly and not to fight for opportunities. Even if it's a midfielder, who doesn't like to rush the ball in midfield to attract attention? Who doesn't like to stand outside the penalty area and make a contribution to the team when it comes to corner kicks? However, Makelele has none of these problems. He just guarded the backcourt honestly. When the team offensively, he honestly over-passed the ball and didn't take risks. The whole team pressed on the opponent's penalty area to compete for the top. He was also honestly staying at the front of his penalty area. Although he did not have the offensive talents comparable to Deschamps, Dunga and others, he was still able to gain a foothold in the legendary midfielder.

Makelele became famous late, not without reason. When he plays football, experience, skills, and mentality take up a large part. These things are difficult for young people to obtain. It is of course impossible to simply regard him as a black defensive player and think that just finding a black brawny can overpower him.

Essien has excellent physical fitness, but his dribbling is also an important attack method for Chelsea, and it can even be said to be one of the few rushing methods. Of course, it cannot be abolished. Mikel's body is strong enough and defensive position is good, but his slow speed is also a big problem. Ballack is good in every aspect, but to use him as a backcourt effort is too much to burn the piano and boil the crane and waste talents.

When Makelele suffered an injury this season, Chelsea’s midfield interception finally had problems. At this time, Abramovich refused to sign. Their midfielder finally relied on adjustments to make up for the shortcomings. Surprisingly, they kicked out of good form.

They arranged an excellent method to deal with Zhao Yaning: Michael Essien was entangled with Zhao Yaning almost the whole field, constantly fighting, competing, and confronting Zhao Yaning. Such an approach prevented Zhao Yaning from playing a significant role at the very beginning of the game, and was subject to considerable restrictions.

Klinsmann may not have much merit in the tactical layout ~lightnovelpub.net~ but his employment is still decisive enough. Before him, although Chelsea also attached great importance to Essien, they did not. Essien has always been regarded as a weapon to advance. Although he also shoulders the task of defensiveness, he has never had a task so heavy that he even blocked Zhao Yaning alone. But in this game, Klinsmann decisively and boldly Employing people has achieved good results.

Ballack is a very versatile player. After arriving at Chelsea, he was in charge, and he was also in charge of checking the gaps behind Lampard. However, he did this job very well. After Makelele failed, Chelsea needed a new way to restrict Zhao Yaning, and Essien stalked and Barack assisted, which was indeed very effective.

Of course, Zhao Yaning still plays from time to time, but this kind of play, compared to the previous two games, against Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​is already a lot worse. There is no way to run freely in the frontcourt anymore, the activity space is greatly occupied and squeezed by Essien, and Zhao Yaning's role is naturally greatly restricted. Leaning on the three back midfielders, Chelsea weaved a tight net.

"It seems that Chelsea has found a way to fight against Zhao Yaning. If they can succeed, then it will be a great reminder for other teams to defend Zhao Yaning. However, whether such a defense is true Can it work?"
