Chapter 501 Mu-style counterattack

On August 6, fans around the world focused on Wembley Stadium in England. Here, the world football team will decide the first officially recognized Cup champion, and the two sides will be world-class giants Liverpool and football upstart Chelsea.

As the Premier League champion and Champions League champion last season, Liverpool's strength is undoubtedly the world's number one, but Chelsea's strength is definitely not inferior to Liverpool. Especially after nearly two months of rest, both sides are not in normal state. It is still difficult to predict who can win in this game.

There is only one game in the Community Shield Cup, but since both sides in the finals are the champions of the league and cup, they are outstanding in strength, with stars and fans all over the world, the tickets for this game are in short supply and were sold out a week ago.

With the development of modern football to this day, football players have to participate in many events. The giants even have to participate in more than fifty games in a season. Even if the players' bodies are specially trained, it is difficult to bear. In order to avoid players' injuries, clubs often give up some less important games, including the Community Shield Cup, League Cup, Super Cup, and even the FA Cup. In extreme cases, some teams will even give up the league to specialize in cup competitions, or give up the cup competitions to specialize in leagues.

Although the Community Shield is a game that the wealthy clubs do not pay much attention to and often treat it as an important warm-up match, Liverpool and Chelsea's attitude towards this Community Shield is obviously different.

Before Abraham and Mourinho took over Chelsea, the most eye-catching thing in the Premier League was the confrontation between Manchester United and Liverpool. The two old enemies have a long history of grudges. Coincidentally, the glorious era of these two teams was the most down and out time for their opponents, which also made the fans of Liverpool and Manchester United deeper resentment.

After Abraham and Mourinho took over, Chelsea quickly won the Premier League championship with an absolute advantage, which made the confrontation between Manchester United and Liverpool meaningless. The main theme of the Premier League becomes that Manchester United and Liverpool take turns to fight against Chelsea to sniper.

In comparison, Liverpool gave Chelsea a headache than Manchester United. After Chelsea won the Premier League championship, dominating Europe became their only goal. However, Abraham and Mourinho worked hard for this goal three times in a row, investing hundreds of millions of dollars, but none of them made any contributions. Two of them were defeated at the feet of Liverpool. It is conceivable how profound Chelsea's hatred for Liverpool is.

So no matter whether Mourinho wins or loses, he will drink a glass of red wine with Ferguson after the game, but before the game, he is not willing to even hold hands with Benitez.

Hatred has reached this point, the match between Liverpool and Chelsea is not a derby or a derby.

Chelsea and Liverpool coaches, including senior officials, all expressed their determination to win in their speeches before the game, and Chelsea even sharpened their swords and intended to take revenge. Judging from the starting lineup given by both sides before the game, these two teams had no intention of using the training game in this game. They were all the absolute main players, and new players were placed on the bench, and the second team players did not even make the bench lineup.

At 7:30, Liverpool and Chelsea players walked into the stadium from the locker room. The audience immediately became lively, with applause and booing, as if a Category 12 hurricane suddenly blew on the calm sea.

Seeing Mourinho and Benitez finally shook hands with each other, the guest guest in the commentary seat, Leinkell sighed: "This is a bit like a giant coach. Before the game, he didn't even hold a hand, and there was no minimum etiquette. Wouldn't it make fans all over the world laugh at? I think the Premier League not only needs to show superb skills and tactics, but also a kind of culture."

Chelsea and Liverpool fans are obviously not ready to show any culture. They applaud their players, boo to their opponents, and even insult their opponents loudly.

The players of Chelsea and Liverpool are not prepared to show any culture. At the courteous meeting ceremony between the two sides, some players compete with each other and use words to provoke their opponents, hoping to anger their opponents and gain the lead in the game.

The players of Liverpool and Chelsea are both in battle for a long time, so of course they will not be fooled. After the game started, both sides were very cautious and patiently arranged the game according to the coach's tactics. Even Chelsea, who is determined to take revenge, was very calm and did not mean to swallow Liverpool in one breath.

The start was not fierce enough, which made the revengeful Chelsea fans unhappy. Chelsea lost to Liverpool in the league and the cup last season. Chelsea's fans have been holding back for several months and are waiting to take revenge today. However, judging from the players' harmonious appearance, it seems that there is no intention of revenge at all. The fans began to sing the Blues' team songs, encourage their players, strive to score early, and make Liverpool a mess.

Reinkell has been in the professional league for many years and can see the murderous intent hidden under the two teams at a glance. He smiled and comforted the fans: "This Community Shield will not be dull at all. Fans, please watch patiently. Mourinho and Chen Yu are both huge variables in the game."

Professional players and fans have different visions. The game was calm for five minutes. With Liverpool player Mascherano's ball control mistake in the midfield, Chelsea launched a quick counterattack like lightning.

Mascherano was actually not a big mistake. He controlled the ball in the backcourt and wanted to pass the ball, but found that the connection between himself and his teammates was cut off, but there was no one around Mascherano. Mascherano decisively dribbled the ball forward, hoping to attract Chelsea's defensive attention and pass the ball to his teammates around him.

Mascherano has a good idea, but unfortunately his skills are not enough to support his idea, so he was destroyed by Chelsea players just after passing the middle circle, and the ball fell to the feet of Chelsea's midfielder Lampard.

Seeing Lampard holding the ball, Chelsea's players were like evil dogs seeing flesh bones, and hulala swarmed up. In a very short time, 8 Chelsea players appeared in Liverpool's halftime, with only two central defenders and goalkeeper Cech remaining in his half.

At this moment, Liverpool still has a complete defense line and two midfielders in his half, but the troops gathered by Chelsea instantly exceeded them. The determination and momentum of attack were beyond their expectations, which Liverpool people could not imagine.

The Red Army fans in the stands were shocked and even forgot to exclaim for a moment.

Although he saw Chelsea launching a heavy counterattack, Liverpool's players were widely known and did not panic. Two midfielders, Mascherano and Alonso, rushed towards Lampard, who was holding the ball at the fastest speed, and even at the cost of yellow cards, they had to stop Chelsea's fast break.

Fast counterattack, heavy troops pressing on the side, breaking through, this is the essence of Mourinho's counterattack tactics. In this tactic, the person who holds the ball to attack is very important. He must decide whether to exit the ball or draw the ball at the fastest speed, and the direction of the ball. This is the key to determining the success or failure of a counterattack.

At Chelsea, the key figure in offensive and defensive transformation was originally Marklele, but now Lampard.

Of course, Lampard would not give Liverpool players a chance to foul. Before Mascherano and Alonso blocked it, Lampard quickly divided the ball to the sidelines and found his winger Wright.

At this moment, Chelsea has formed an advantage of more and less on the wing, with Wright Jr. and Ashley Cole attacking Liverpool full-back Finnan.

If you play with less, an experienced defender will never show off.

Finnan has rich experience. He did not adopt foul tactics. In one-on-two situations, he could not make a foul even if he wanted to. He gradually retreated and waited for his teammates to come to support him. The closer to the bottom line, the smaller the space for the opponent to cooperate. If the opponent acts rashly because of impatience, his chance will come.

Finnan's choice was not wrong, and he was calm enough, but he spoke with strength on the court. None of the two players Chelsea's offense was worse than Finnan. The cooperation between the two people and the initiative is still there. Finnan wants to defend against the mistakes of his luck and his opponents.

Wright and Ashley Cole have been working together for more than a season, and it is still easy to do a simple two-pass and one-pass combination.

Wright Jr. held the ball, Ashley Cole inserted the ball into the side and went straight to the bottom line.

Finnan had to pursue Ashley Cole.

Seeing Finnan go after Ashley Cole, Wright Jr. quickly dribbled the ball and broke through the inside.

When Little Wright was parallel to him, Finnan had to give up Ashley Cole and come to intercept Little Wright.

Little Wright made a move to pass the ball and suddenly accelerated the breakthrough. Finnan just hesitated and was broken through by Little Wright.

At this moment, Finnan has no way to defend Wright. Whether to cross or cut in depends on Wright's mood.

At this time, Alonso, who came to make up for the defense in the midfield, stopped pulling the edge and quickly returned to the center, and Chelsea players defending the center were fighting for the point.
